  1. ‘Trump Destroyed, Hollywood cosying up to the CIA, Koch Bros. buying national parks’

    https://www.rt.com/shows/redacted-tonight-summary/310163-trump-cia-military-us/

    “Donald Trump gets destroyed by Lee Camp. Then the Redacted Team reveals how Hollywood is besties with the CIA and the military. Next they delve into why every American seems to be on prescription drugs they don’t necessarily need. Then they reveal that the hundreds of millions we spent on schools in Afghanistan was all for nothing. They also take on the Koch Brother plan to buy up the nation’s national parks. “

  2. Episode 835

    https://www.rt.com/shows/keiser-report/321664-episode-max-keiser-835/

    “In this episode of the Keiser Report, Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert discuss the memory of our living economy and consumers in the life of the dead banks, markets and economies. They look at the collapse of the Baltic Dry Index, the slow death of the markets as spoofing and HFT front-running fraud take over where real price discovery once lived. They examine the booming stock prices of legal heroin dealers in America, where an historic spike in overdose deaths is taking place.

    In the second half, Max interviews Sandeep Jaitly of Fekete Research. They chew over QE, ongoing since the 1920s, and note the only thing different today is that the central banks have moved further from the yield curve. Sandeep also suggests Carl Menger (were he to be brought back from the dead to run our economy), would immediately expire at the sight of our notion of ‘public debt.’ “

  3. Why have an open mic if you refuse open free speech ?

    Why have an open mic if you decide to not publish that which challenges your beliefs and bias ? Doesn’t sound very open or free to me.

    Again — who are you and why are you so afraid to expose some truths about Noam Chomsky ? Was he your childhood idle or something ?

    No one else is allowed to see our communications about this because of your tight control. Shame on you.

  4. ‘TPPA national day of action’ ( Try and get there!)

    http://thestandard.org.nz/tppa-national-day-of-action/

    14 November is another Nationwide Day of Action against the TPPA!

    The political tradeoffs have been done and the text has now been sent to Tokyo to undergo the ‘legal scrubbing’ process. As we expected there are very few trade benefits, while the deal gives corporates and foreign investors a lot of power to run roughshod over our democracy.

    But it hasn’t been signed, and the fight continues!

  5. Common sense would make one think a government would follow or copy those countries that are doing well ( eg Netherlands, Sweden etc) with regards to policy – not follow the countries that are doing poorly ( eg America, United Kingdom.) Guess the way we’re going…
