No-one wants to talk about Japan these days. The conventional wisdom is that the bloom went off Japan’s economic rose around 1990 and that the utter superiority of neoliberal capitalism was vindicated by the strong performance of the American economy during the 1990s. (more…)

Usury does not mean high interest. It means any interest, however low, demanded for an unproductive loan. It is not only immoral but it is ultimately destructive of society. It has only been the rule of our commerce to take usury since the breakup of Europe following on the Reformation. Usury will destroy our society, but meanwhile there is no escape from it. (more…)

Most productive Americans hate the idea of socialized medicine since they think that they will pay more into it than they will get out of it, and they are right.

In 2008, 60 Minutes ran a story on Spenser Wells, Explorer in Residence for the National Geographic Society, who is mapping the genetic linkages of the world population. The media are naturally eager to plug Wells’ genetic mapping because it supports the “Out of Africa” or “African Eve” hypothesis put forward in recent times by some geneticists.

The interviewer, a blond woman, was pleased to state that she was “once an African” (sic). (more…)

En 2008, 60 Minutes passa une histoire sur Spenser Wells, Explorateur Permanent pour la National Geographic Society, qui est en train d’établir la carte des liens génétiques de la population mondiale.

L’Establishment libéral est pressé de proclamer que nous faisons tous partie d’une masse nébuleuse d’humanité sans aucune différence à part celles qui peuvent être acquises. L’intervieweuse, une femme blonde, était fière de déclarer qu’elle était « jadis une Africaine » (sic). (more…)

He came to power in a military coup against Libya’s King Idris, who was basically the satrap of international capital, ensuring that the exploitation of the country’s oil wealth benefited foreign oil companies and himself, but not the Libyan people.
