U.S. credit rating a "solid triple-A": Moody's
06-23-2009
•
Reuters
Moody's Investors Service said the U.S. government's
triple-A credit rating was safe but added that it could be at risk if
Washington were unable to bring its public debt back to a downward
trajectory. Financial markets have repeatedly been spooked this year by concern
that triple-A rated governments such as the United States and Britain
could face credit ratin

Court OKs dumping gold mine waste in lake
06-23-2009
•
AP
A mining company was given the go-ahead by the Supreme Court to dump waste from an Alaskan gold mine into a nearby 23-acre
lake, although the material will kill all of the lake's fish.
The court said that the federal government acted legally in
declaring the waste left after metals are extracted from the ore as
"fill material"

Retreat of the Shadow Lenders

The point is that only the US government can print the currency to accommodate this shift back to conservative lending practices. It is US denominated debt after all. And they did want to be the world’s reserve currency. That means they now get to establish global banking standards and get to own an incredible amount of bank paper throughout the world. Otherwise, an alternative will be found and we will likely repeat this all over again in about twenty to forty years in a different form of currency. The US currency bubble will then continue to contract and retreat into the US local market as deleveraging contracts the supply.

Governor Schwarzenegger says “hasta la vista” to court reporters

http://cocra.org/2009/06/governor-schwarzenegger-n
Like for instance, we don’t need court reporters. I mean, we can do this digitally. Why are we still holding on to court reporters? Just because the unions want to hold on and keep their jobs.

Can Politics Be the Answer?
06-23-2009
•
C4SS / Thomas Knapp
By offering sound (in other words, pro-freedom) solutions to the
“social questions” and then demonstrating through failure at the polls
that those solutions will never be implemented through the political
process and political institutions, a libertarian political party can
open the eyes of precisely the people who are in, and need to be led out of, or at least convinced to think beyond, that process.

It is unsurprising that folks who are immersed in economic thinking agree that the drug war cannot work. I admit that that was the road taken to my personal position and no other issues have actually been able to give me room for modification of that position. Plainly human actions have economic consequences and governmental actions have direct influence on those consequences. It follows as night follows day that successfully modifying human outcomes must first come from effective government action.

Politicians Talking Gibberish About Health Care
6/23/09
•
Liberty News Radio
Every minute of every day, Americans are subjected to politicians and media pundits talking gibberish. There really is no other word for it, whether the particular subject is economics, foreign policy, or even climatology. However, the gibberish that is getting the most attention right now concerns health care "reform." President Obama is leading the Democrats with the familiar socialist model that has failed in every industrialized nation in which it has been tried...

Iran Police Quash Rally as Revolutionary Guards Warn Protesters
06-22-2009
•
Bloomberg
June 23 (Bloomberg) -- Iranian police massing in force
broke up a demonstration over the disputed presidential election
just hours after the Revolutionary Guards said they would crush
further protest.
Police used tear gas and fired shots into the air to quell
yesterday’s rally in central Tehran, the Associated Press
reported. Witnesses said helicopters hovered overhead as about
200 protesters gathered in Haft-e-Tir Square before they were
dispersed, AP said.
Security forces were deployed in the capital to prevent
further demonstrations after hundreds of thousands of Iranians
took to the streets in more than a week of rallies. At least 17
people have been killed in the worst internal violence in the
oil-producing nation of 66 million since the shah was overthrown
in 1979.
