[THE PRAGMATIC CAPITALIST] THE PRAGMATIC CAPITALIST » » BRYON WIEN'S 10 SURPRISES FOR 2010: I see the market going after the overlevered states in much the same way as it did the I-Banks and players in the mortgage finance bubble, attacking the weakest players by size and working it’s way up the food chain. Only this time there isn’t going to be anyone to step in to stop the implosion of the government finance bubble like there was during the tech stock and real estate/wall street finance blow ups we had during the first decade of the 2000s.

And in this kind of weak-dollar environment, foreign bonds clearly are an attractive investment for U.S. investors.

[The Heritage Foundation Papers: Economy] Europe and Israel: Strengthening the Partnership: A new study by the London-based think tank Taxpayers Alliance has exposed how EU funds are subsidizing Islamist-inspired violence and anti-Israeli and anti-Western propaganda in the Palestinian territories.[13] This is done through direct financial support for the Palestinian Authority and funding for the Palestinian education system, which produces textbooks "that promote martyrdom, support the execution of apostates and support insurgents fighting British troops in Iraq." There are also major concerns over EU funding of Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) operating in the Palestinian territories without proper accountability and transparency.[14]

[Iran Press Service - News Feed] The Iranian Challenge (Iran Press Service): As long as public opinion in the Middle East remains largely critical of the United States, and as long as Washington continues to seek a regional order based on excluding Iran, Iran will likely play on anti-Americanism to make Washington's policy of exclusion as costly as possible and to rally existing anti-American sentiment around Iranian objectives. But if the strategic environment in the region changes--with a different relationship between Tehran and Washington as a result--the utility of anti-Americanism will fade away.

[SWJ Blog] 5 January SWJ Roundup (SWJ Blog): Prime Minister Gordon Brown issued a statement saying he was “personally appalled” by the group’s plan to march through the streets of Wootton Bassett, a town 70 miles west of London where townspeople have lined the sidewalks since April 2007 to mourn the passing corteges of British military casualties flown home to the nearby military airbase at Lyneham. “Wootton Bassett has a special significance for us all at this time, as it has been the scene of the repatriation of many members of our armed forces who have tragically fallen,” Mr.

[The Heritage Foundation Papers] The Bush-Merkel Summit: Washington Must Pressure Berlin Over Iran: The Bush–Merkel summit follows a highly successful visit to Washington by French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who this week addressed a joint session of Congress, declaring that a nuclear-armed Iran would be unacceptable. President Bush must build on the powerful momentum generated through his discussions with the French leader and call on all European Union member states, including Germany, to join the United States in a tough sanctions regime aimed at halting Iran's drive to develop nuclear weapons capability.

[GlobalResearch.ca] Suicidal Statecraft: When Bush and Blair baited Ahmadinejad through their control of the UN Security Council, the Iranian president and his minions swiftly seized fifteen British sailors from two inflatable boats in the disputed twilight zone of the Shatt Al-Arab waterway to use them as human shields and bargaining chips in their game with the great powers. This act of phenomenal stupidity and cowardice will now serve nicely as the casus belli, a necessary trigger for Bush and Blair and their collaborator, Olmert, to launch Armageddonite warfare against the Islamic Republic in pursuit of their heretical theocratic Judaeo-Christian Apocalypse.

[Antiwar.com Blog] Iran War Resolution May Be Passed Next Week « Antiwar.com Blog: It seems as if something very evil has taken over our country since 911.If we could establish who(sorry but 90 percent of Americans do not buy the “Arab cave dweller were responsible scenario”) was responsible for 911 then we could know better how to proceed,based on our current policy of justice.Who ever did this could certainly never be trusted with any weapons large or small. And if perhaps our current policy of justice has been taken over as well.If this is the case then I suggest that perhaps we need to succeed our states from this tainted federal union and let the feds currently in charge learn to live with out us and visa versa,so we can rebuild our constitution and aloud our children to live their lives in peace.How any one can even think of global control when we can not even keep the peace in our own communities is absurd.

And all this while extending a hand of peace to Israel to ensure that the border remains open and virtual, to ensure freedom of movement between Gaza and the West Bank, and to ensure that huge numbers of unemployed Gazans could find a decent livelihood working in Israel.

[CNN Political Ticker] CNN Political Ticker: All politics, all the time Blog Archive ...: Obama is spending this country broke, he has gone on his world apology tour, telling the world that he is sorry that we are Americans, and that he is sorry for all the mean nasty things we have done, like get rid of Saddam Hussein, get the Taliban out of countries, and try and make the world a better place. Obama has made this country a welfare nation, he has tried to tell us that we don't need to work hard anymore, just let the government take care of you, and that America needs to be nicer to muslims, yes muslims, the very same people who are trying to kill us and destroy America.
