The Business Plot

Welcome to the final stages of the coup...

Who Is Going to Bailout Public, Inc.?

Someone explain this to me. The country has no money to help the poor, to support education, or help offset the cost of medical care. The country has - as some say - a failing social security system, and has pretty much thrown its seniors under the bus for "lack of funds." At the beginning of Bush's term, he had a Clinton surplus.


So not paying for anything remotely relating to public health, safety, education, or security, where did all the money go? At the same time, money suddenly appears in the form of trillions to pay for an illegal war and bailout companies who have already robbed the public and are now robbing the public again through bailouts.

The REAL Story

It took five years, the deaths of 4,100 US soldiers, and the wounding of 30,000 more to make Iraq safe for Exxon.

The "R" Word

Terms like “recession” - which few know the technical meaning of - are batted back and forth as the economy continues its slide with few candidates or media menshes doing much to illuminate where all this is leading.

The Moon, The Sun And The Truth

Wikileaks is developing an uncensorable Wikipedia for untraceable mass document leaking and analysis. their primary interests are oppressive regimes in Asia, the former Soviet bloc, Sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East, but they also expect to be of assistance to those in the west who wish to reveal unethical behavior in their own governments and corporations. They aim for maximum political impact; this means the interface is identical to Wikipedia and usable by non-technical people. They have received over 1.2 million documents so far from dissident communities and anonymous sources.
