The U.S. Supreme Court: Utterly Corrupt – 06.29.15
Monday Jun 29, 2015
Monday Jun 29, 2015
Quick comment on Greece. The Supreme Court rewrites the law on Obamacare. Listen to Justice Scalia’s dissent. It is scathing. America has become a lawless land where tyrannical judges just make stuff up out of thin air. American law schools have become indoctrination schools for progressivism. David Stockman’s comment on Greece and his attack on Angela Merkel is priceless. I reproduce it for you here. Gasoline use is declining in the U.S., a sure sign of economic retraction. A study of education in Wisconsin showing the impoverishment of educational standards in the U.S. A spoof series of interviews showing the deep-seated bellicosity of the American public. Funeral costs in the U.K. Average duration of new car loans is at an all-time high. The Pope and the IRS are now partners. More absurdity with FATCA.

The Coming Depression Will Engulf Everyone, Rich And Poor – 06.26.15
Friday Jun 26, 2015
Friday Jun 26, 2015
The Senate handed Obama his TPP victory today. Listen to Greg Hunter and his general appraisal. The rich will be devastated because they need consumers to survive. These are AWOL. Politicians will lose control of the situation and will consequently lead the world into war. How the European powers-that-be are trying to intimidate Greece into ‘conforming’ with what they want. A detailed look into the immense lie behind the official ‘greatest threat’ to America: extreme and brutal jihadist terror. Pure, unadulterated fear-mongering. So far this year a grand total of three marginal young men managed to get themselves killed. Period. Set that against 66,000 deaths in America a year from deadly weapons by regular Americans against other regular Americans.

Are Wealthy People Jerks More Than Others? – 06.22.15
Monday Jun 22, 2015
Monday Jun 22, 2015
Reactions to California’s drought tell an interesting story. Attitudes to cutting welfare programs reveal propensities… what higher social class predicts… Who is more compassionate? A case study points up certain tendencies. You will (or not) be surprised at the conclusions. (You have to listen to the show to find out what they are!) Much published medical research is unreliable if not completely false, according to the Editor-in-Chief of The Lancet. His equivalent at the New England Medical Journal concurs. More evidence showing that the ECB is exclusively interested in the financial services industry. Stock market report. Why don’t consumer protection laws extend to the medical profession? Illegal immigrants to Texas greater than the number of births in that state. The real role of banks. More on the TPP secrecy. Greeks were loaned money they could never possibly have paid back. Obama’s stealth shift in Iraq policy. The TPP and TTIP are proceeding as planned – unstoppably-so.

The Tide Is Running Out. The Criminals Are Standing Naked – 06.19.15
Friday Jun 19, 2015
Friday Jun 19, 2015
Greek update, including a stunning admission by the Greek government. Will other southern European countries follow suit? Fast Track and why your votes really do not matter. The definition of ‘patriot’: what it does – and does not – mean… More and more evidence continues to pile up showing indisputably that the Fed is entirely fixated on helping its friends and has no interest whatsoever in the average American. An extraordinary outburst from their (unofficial) spokesman. A brief comment from David Stockman in support of my contention about Warren Buffett. Please do not believe the claim that because corporations have record levels of cash, they are doing very well. They have three times as much in debt and those levels are soaring.

The Inexorable And Ongoing Process Of Downward Mobility – 6.15.15
Monday Jun 15, 2015
Monday Jun 15, 2015
A Bill Still report on the current state of the TPP and Fast-Track legislation. An update and comment on the Greek situation (which may have changed by the time you listen to this). Do not get too obsessed by the degree of inequality exhibited by the 0.1%. Although never discussed by the main stream media, other measures of inequality are much more insidious and pervasive, hard though it may be to believe. My longest dissertation yet – ever. It is very sobering and will bring home to you once-and-for-all the hopelessness of the American condition. You will not come out of this talk unscathed!

Central Banks Have Got To Go! – 06.12.15
Friday Jun 12, 2015
Friday Jun 12, 2015
An explanation of what central banks are, why they exist, the harm they do and why they need to be disbanded. The Fed is the United States’s third central bank. The previous two lost their charters in disgrace. The Fed has done more damage to the United States (excluding war) than any other entity past or present. This is no exaggeration. Their policies have been a disaster. As the economy deteriorates, more and more people will come to understand this. Statistics from the last 27 years (since the arrival of Greenspan) showing that despite unthinkable growth in many areas (usually financial), median family income has gone exactly nowhere. Fannie and Freddie ‘at it’ again! A summary of reasons to oppose the TPP. A final word on John Chambers, Cisco’s outgoing CEO. The dangers of believing ‘BS’. The U.S. destroying its Constitution is not a new phenomenon. Consequences of the decline in the 24-54-year-old working demographic.

Misrepresentation of Unemployment Figures 6.8.2015
Monday Jun 08, 2015
Monday Jun 08, 2015
Extended discussion about the extreme misrepresentation of the unemployment figures and the way the main stream media cherry-picks the data. We break down the data to arrive at the truth. The bottom line is that the payroll statistics are totally implausible. The numbers literally do not add up. The BLS is simply refusing to bend towards what is becoming irrefutable reality. They’re trying to make you believe that this is the best employment environment in decades. What rot! The expected bounce in April consumer spending didn’t happen. People are struggling with rent, medical expenses, gasoline, etc. Debt and the debt-to-GDP ratio are inexorably rising, today far above levels reached just before the Great Depression. There is no end in sight. 1 out of 3 Americans is supporting the rest. This is unprecedented. With so much household income in the U.S. going to taxes, housing, food and transport, healthcare and insurance, it makes no sense for young people to remain in the U.S. This situation will never be resolved in their lifetimes. The Obama administration lies about the helpfulness of the Patriot Act in terrorism investigations. The government’s Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board categorically denies this. The government is making a full return to the disastrous lending conditions of the

USA Freedom Act: The Reality – 06.05.15
Friday Jun 05, 2015
Friday Jun 05, 2015
U-S-A-F-R-E-E-D-O-M “Uniting-and-Strengthening-America-By-Fulfilling-Rights-And-Ensuring-Effective-Discipline-Over-Monitoring Act of 2015. How quaint! How cool! And how despicably deceptive! Virtually nothing has changed. And almost all the “changes” have been compensated for elsewhere in this execrable bill. The lie of increasing home prices having anything to do with genuine demand. A fine analogy connected to harmful money injected into the system. Alan Greenspan busy at work blaming everyone else for his social crimes. More on the coming clash between the U.S. and China. Continued decline in factory orders for the eighth successive month. Durable goods and capital goods also down. You cannot beat the system. Don’t even try. The American people show active encouragement to presidential hopefuls who advocate ramping up America’s superpower status. A horrific example of police brutality.
