Hegelian Dialectic On the Right
By Mary Thompson October 10, 2013
NewsWithViews.com What does the term,“Conservative” define in the political spectrum? Not much anymore. Is there such a thing as a Hegelian “Right”? The appointment of Carly Fiorina to the American Conservative Union’s Educational arm may reveal an answer. Her appointment caught this writer’s attention when it was reported in San Jose Mercury News, 9/29/13. American Conservative Union Chairman, Al Cardenas, waxed eloquent about Carly Fiorina’s “conservative philosophy” saying, “It’s one thing to be a conservative among friends; it’s quite another to be an unapologetic public conservative in California.” That description of a public unapologetic conservative in California doesn’t fit the Fiorina known here in Silicon Valley. The record shows no evidence of Fiorina Republicanism being aligned with the conservative wing of the GOP. She worked with Arnold Schwarzenegger’s transition team when he was elected Governor. San Jose Mercury News headlines (3/2/2005) “shouted,” “FIORINA A STRONG CONTENDER FOR WORLD BANK CHIEF JOB.” That was just three weeks after her dismissal as chief executive of Hewlett-Packard. In 2008, San Jose local TV news reported Fiorina had been appointed to a high level position in the Republican Party to oversee the National Republican Party Victory Fund which were funds for McCain and other candidates. McCain praised her as a “good friend of his” in a letter introducing her as the chair of the Victory Fund 2008. There was early “talk” about her being considered as McCain’s Vice Presidential choice.

IMF 20 Year Veteran Resigns With Scathing Letter
(Reuters) - A veteran economist at the International Monetary Fund has accused the global lender of suppressing information on difficulties in dealing with the global financial meltdown and euro zone crisis.
In a resignation letter to the IMF's board and senior staff, dated June 18, Peter Doyle said the IMF's failures in issuing timely warnings for both the 2007-2009 global financial crisis and the euro zone crisis were a "failing in the first order" and "are, if anything, becoming more deeply entrenched." IMF managing director Christine Lagarde, was also named in the letter as being "tainted."
His letter, a copy of which was seen by Reuters, has brought to light simmering tensions within the IMF over the Fund's credibility, which many worry is threatened by its role in the euro zone crisis

BANK OF AMERICA SAYS LIBOR PROBE DRAWS SUBPOENAS ON SUBMISSIONS
Bank of America Corp. (BAC:US), the second- biggest U.S. bank, received formal inquiries from investigators pressing their probe into the possible rigging of a key international lending benchmark.
The bank received subpoenas and requests for information from the U.S. Department of Justice, Commodity Futures Trading Commission and U.K. Financial Services Authority, the firm said yesterday in a filing. Bank of America also said regulators have asked whether the company properly oversaw vendors who sold identity-theft protection products to its customers.
Inquiries involve “submissions made by panel banks in connection with the setting of London interbank offered rates and European and other interbank offered rates,” Charlotte, North Carolina-based Bank of America said in the filing. READ MORE

CUT INTEREST RATES - RAISE TAXES - PLAY GAMES WITH THE MIDDLE CLASS
Central banks in China, Europe, and the UK, representing one-third of the global economy, took simultaneous action to spur growth by doing the only thing central banks know how to do: They cut interest rates to stimulate money growth through borrowing and they created vast amounts of new money to inject into the banking system. Instead of spurring growth, it was a signal to savvy investors that the banks were worried, and that currencies would continue to decline in purchasing power. Consequently, the markets dropped.If You're Civilized Don't Buy Gold????
Warren Buffett's right-hand man doesn't like gold any more than his boss does, Charles Munger told CNBC Friday on the eve of Berkshire Hathway's annual meeting. "Gold is a great thing to sew into your garments if you’re a Jewish family in Vienna in 1939," the Berkshire vice chairman said, "but I think civilized people don’t buy gold, they invest in productive businesses." Munger, 88, said he loves Berkshire Hathaway's [BRK.A 121950.00 150.00 (+0.12%) ] portfolio of such businesses, which includes, among many others, the Burlington Northern railroad, specialty chemicals firm Lubrizol and Geico insurance. "We just have a wonderful portfolio in business, if you average them out," Munger said. "By and large they're doing productive, useful work. It’s not outsmarting the computer systems in the trading markets." DOES ANYONE ELSE SEE THIS THINKING AS RACIST, SELFISH???? This kind of manipulation and thinking is partially what has gotten America where she is today financially. This type of control over our money and not caring how and where it is invested is lack of responsibility, but once again you don't feel so bad if you are playing games with money that is not yours! You just get to play! |
Financial Gloom Builds for Euro - U.S.!
Euro Zone economy worsened markedly last month and U.S. employers cut back considerably in hiring.
In Europe, the purchasing managers indexes (PMIs), which primarily cover services, suggested a recession across the continent's currency union could now extend to mid-year and be deeper than previously thought. The gloomy surveys clashed with the picture painted by European Central Bank President Mario Draghi, who on Thursday spoke of a gradual recovery taking place in the euro zone during the course of the year - although he did speak about risks. In the United States, a government report showed employers added a disappointing 115,000 workers to payrolls last month and, critically, many Americans stopped looking for work. Economists had expected 170,000 new non-farm jobs, and the report could hurt President Barack Obama as he steps up a re-election campaign that will likely hinge on the state of the economy. Hurting the US also is the true facts of unemployment not being reported along with numbers being off in regard to those on Medicaid and Food Stamps. Reuters 5/4/2012 |
