Neoconservative Jibber Jabber

Stacy Summary: This book sounds interesting, Neoconservatism: An Obituary for an Idea. Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News, of course, gives these guys so much air time to indoctrinate Americans into their quasi fascist cult. Here’s one source of info on who’s who in neoconservatism. Here is Ron Paul’s speech, “Neo-Conned”. I can think of no other group in the world that has done so much to destroy America as the neoconservatives. Their members are the primary architects of the wars currently bankrupting the nation (not to mention, murdering tens of thousands around the world) and of the legal and cultural arguments for ridding Americans of most of the Constitutional rights on which the nation was founded. And it is because of this fascist movement that the whole left / right, Red State / Blue State exists as the orchestrated Straussian sideshow it is.

Wheat Rises to 14 Month High on Record Heat in Russia & Excessive Rain in Canada

Stacy Summary: You can’t defraud nature. We can try to throw all the fractional reserve, fiat trickery at it, but the true cost will always be charged. Wheat prices rise to 14 month high as 32 pc of Russian cropland devastated by record high temperatures & Canadian crops damaged by ‘excessive rain.’

Max Keiser on HuffPost: France’s Existential Debt Crisis

As long as interest rates stay near zero the debt expansion cycle — masked as asset sales — will continue to grow and the interest costs associated with these debts will continue to make up a greater percentage of GDP. Naturally, the government’s plan to pay the additional interest cost is to borrow more money.

Pre-Crime, Future Crime [Updated]

Stacy Summary: Convergence of global police state following the sci-fi script to the word. Re: the second story, I included quotes that support my hypothesis that the intelligence services are looking for crowd-sourced analysis.

Russia to give security services powers to arrest people for crimes they have yet to commit
Google and CIA invest in Recorded Future (h/t all who linked to this)

Choice quotes.

First this one that could have come from Sumner “We’re not going to kill him” Redstone:

This appears to be the first time, however, that the intelligence community and Google have funded the same startup, at the same time. No one is accusing Google of directly collaborating with the CIA

untimely death of (another) Resonance104.4fm contributor

Dear all,
It is with dismay that we pass on the news of the death of
Resonance104.4fm contributor Simon Bannister. As “The Pooh Lord” he
made the highly idiosyncratic song cycle “Cyber Chutney Arse Duck” for
us a few years back. A talented guitarist and poet with a wild sense
of humour and finely honed skills as an arranger and producer, he
seemingly took his own life.
Our condolences to his family and friends.
A repeat of one of his shows went out this morning and I imagine we’ll
run the whole series some time over the summer as a testament to his
singular artistry.
Yours
Ed
