politics
the two sides of Barack Obama
Much goes unsaid about momentum. So much so that two supposedly polar opposite politicians can take the helm of the Global Empire and still get stuck supporting the same decision infrastructure. There’s only one way this ship is headed, and it isn’t towards anything positive. John Pilger sums up my feelings about the current United [...]
monetary system in Canada just as crazy as all other fiat currency systems
I’ve been watching through Oh Canada: Our Bought and Sold Out Land, a movie about Canada’s money supply. After viewing similar films about the US monetary supply, I don’t feel like Canadians can really complain that much because there is much worse hoodooing going on down south.

The United States has submitted to corporate interests to rebuild democracy as a “free-market” system, a free market that only benefits those with the $$. How so? Back in 1990, according to [...]
even if Obama had godlike abilities, I don’t think he could succeed
In an awesome article from today’s Guardian entitled Obama the Impotent, Steven Hill details why President Obama is letting the world (and specifically Europe) down.
