Comment on Conservative “jokes” by Brian of Florida

PBO (President Barrak Obama) and his hacks bussed protesters to AIG Executives homes, and yes they were advocating violence against the Exec and his family terrifying them. When In Kentucky the same organizers who shouted about Baby Killers at the front gates in 1978 were demanding that the soldiers help protect their homes from floodwaters when the Ohio flood stage hit 26 feet March 1997. Yes I ran into a protester from 1978. Yes I went on my time off and filed sandbags.
Having been in the military I have gone from being spit on while in uniform in atlanta airport 1978 to being called a terrorist. I notice that Liberals in general are not willing to defend themselves, side with people trying to Kill me, and disparage the military.
Yet they want protection from those they put down and prosecute. Want to take guns away from legal law abiding people so that only criminals have them.
the Blackwater fiasco was a group protecting coward politicians who would not stand up and tell the truth.
They came back to the safety of the US and denounced investigate and prosecuted them.
So if everyone becomes a liberal, who will fight the bad guys?

Comment on The Great Slump of 1930 by Albert Singh

Albert Singh — Thu, 27 Nov 2008 11:33:50 +0000

Two aspects of this essay by Keynes seem highly relevant today.

I. Keynes stressed the threat which the slump posed to ‘the social stability of every country alike’.

‘… a series of bankruptcies, defaults, and repudiations which would shake the capitalist order to its foundations … would be a fertile soil for agitation, seditions, and revolution. It is so already in many quarters of the world.’

The only place where I know this aspect of this essay of Keynes and his other writings has been discussed is in Donald Markwell’s book called ‘Economic Paths to War and Peace – John Maynard Keynes and International Relations’ (around pages 172-173).

II. Keynes ended by stressing the necessity of the monetary authorities of the big economic powers acting together.

‘…nor can any one central bank do enough acting in isolation. … the most effectibe remedy would be that the central banks of these three great creditor nations [the United States, France, and England] should join together in a bold scheme to restore confidence to the international long-term loan market; which would serve to revive enterprise and activity everywhere, and to restore prices and profits, so that in due course the wheels of the world’s commerce would go round again.’

As Markwell’s book also shows, this necessity of international economic action is one of the key lessons from Keynes’s thinking, at least from the aftermath of the First World War on.

Does anybody else think these two points from Keynes are of the utmost importance to our current global meltdown?

Of course, it must be remembered, that it was also President Eisenhower who instituted the executive security and classification framework that exists today and has done more to further the hawkish tendencies than perhaps any other act in recent history.
