"Standing Up When It’s Too Late"
*"Standing Up When It’s Too Late"*
By JR Nyquist
"This article is a comparison between America and another great empire
faced with rot in high office and a decline of the state—Rome. The writer,
JR Nyquist, artfully points out it’s not the big events that sink an empire
but many seemingly little ones. You could call what is happening to the
U.S. “death by a thousand cuts.” Except in this story, people are not
really aware how deep the cuts are and exactly who is doing the cutting. I
loved this piece, and I hope you do as well." - Greg Hunter

NATO Wages Desperate Last Battle in Northern Syria
[image: 353163]*March 29, 2014 *(Tony Cartalucci - NEO) - The small
northwestern Syrian town of Kassab, located directly on the Syrian-Turkish
border, has turned into a pivotal battleground between Syrian security
forces and armed militants backed by the Turkish military. The clashes
grabbed headlines last Sunday when Turkey shot down a Syrian warplane
conducting airstrikes along the border as the militants crossed over into
Syrian territory.
While the Turkish government maintains the Syrian plane entered Turkish
airspace, it came down in Syrian territory with its pilot having saf... more »

China, Iran, USA Among World Leaders In Executions

"The number of executions worldwide rose 15 percent in 2013, according to
an Amnesty International report, with the United States up with Iran, Iraq
and Saudi Arabia as the countries executing the most people.
But one country stood out from the rest. In fact, Amnesty argued, China

Well, sorry. Sadly no. You went in there to privatize Iraq's oil. And you

Current Greece Bailout Scheme as of March 28 , 2014 - As a general statement , Greece will get just enough money to payoff the latest round of debt to the EFSF and IMF - then will be allowed to wander aimlessly in its Zombie state until the next loan disbursement come due - then it will get just enough to pay that debt off as well.......of course we are soon to reach the end of the line under the current rescue scheme in place for Greece ( end of Q4 2014 ) ...... Which makes the Greece Supreme Court decision ostensibly ruling against bank confiscations quite interesting - assuming the decision is actually allowed to stand .....Meanwhile , the current Greek Government has high confidence regarding its latest reform bill ( greek citizens corn-holed by legislation ) , we shall see if this high confidence is warranted by the end of the weekend..... meanwhile greek auxiliary pensions take a big whack ( thanks Troika and current Greek Government ) .....Greek bill gives rescue fund legal cover for bank capital boosts ( banksters always get taken care of .. ) .....

The Growth of Pass-Through Entities
Over the past few decades, there has been an amazing shift in how
businesses are taxed. See the figure below, which is from CBO. Businesses
are more and more taxed as pass-through entities, where the income shows up
on personal tax returns rather than on corporate returns. (Here is an
article discussing how the mutual giant Fidelity recently switched from one
form to the other.)
This phenomenon complicates the interpretation of tax return data. For
example, when one looks at the growth of the 1 percent, or the 0.1 percent,
in the Piketty-Saez data, that growth is likely exaggera... more »

Defamation in the Internet Age: The Trial

First, the old blogpost, User Pay, from June 2012. The stage was being set

Following The Money
Mark Felt -- alias Deep Throat -- advised Woodward and Bernstein to follow
the money. It was good advice forty years ago; and it's good advice now.
Consider the following report from Althia Raj at the Huffington Post:
The Conservative government has spent $482 million on outside legal fees
since it came to power in 2006. And more than $447,045 to defend the Prime
Minister, his staff and ministers, according to documents tabled in the
House of Commons.
These fees were for lawyer's outside the house that Harper built:

Once upon a time: The refuted roots of organic farming
Can you tell the difference between these two molecules of urea?
Image creditThe urea on the left can be isolated from cattle urine (urea is
the principal nitrogenous waste product of amphibians and mammals). The
urea on the right can be produced via the Wohler process. They are, of
course, exactly the same molecule. Subscribers to organic farming methods,
however, believe that the urea on the left is an acceptable nitrogen
source, while the urea on the right is not.

Ukraine Updates March 28 , 2014 - The United States is continuing to ratchet up its low-intensity sanctions regime against Russia, introducing measures that include a ban on exporting defense items and services to Russia to pressure Moscow over recent events in Ukraine...... Meanwhile, the US House of Representatives is also readying additional sanctions on Russian officials in addition to the 27 individuals sanctioned earlier this month, alongside Bank Rossiya. The bill, which would impose additional asset freezes and visa bans on unspecified senior Russian officials, their close associates and family members, as well as corporations, passed 399-19. Earlier Thursday, a group of US senators called on President Barack Obama to impose sanctions on Russia's defense sector, and more specifically, its state arms exporter Rosoboronexport.

South American soybean contracts have also been canceled because of weak demand, says trade journal Oil World , Two large Asian rubber producers, who asked not to be named, said Chinese buyers had defaulted on them. The contracts are already signed, but Chinese importers "refuse to take cargo or pay unless they get discounts.......

Team New Zealand: Sailing in Subsidised Waters
Did you see a government department released a report yesterday informing
us that government spending our money supporting Team New Zealand made us
all $50 million richer? Yeeha! If only they’d spent *even more*.
Economic Development Minister Steven Joyce says the $36 million of
taxpayers' money pumped into the last America's Cup challenge directly
benefited the New Zealand economy to the tune of $87 million.
Joyce … released two evaluation reports, both an independent evaluation [sic]
of the Government’s investment in Emirates Team New Zealand… and an
evaluation of New Zealan... more »
NAFTA is 20
I was thrilled this week when Guy Cecil and Michael Bennet got on board and
gave the Shenna Bellows campaign the DSCC's big thumbs up. Hopefully, that
will be the beginning of the end for fake moderate Susan Collins in Maine.
So, RIGHT ON GUY CECIL and RIGHT ON Michael Bennet. I will refrain from any
gratuitously nasty statements about the two of them for at least… well, I

over the ego trip and do it for the Democrats and, more importan... more »

whitewashed, sanitized, dumbed down versions of *'truthiness' *We have no
real concept of specific actions taken, actions that were intended to
start wars. Destroy nations. What ever the case may be? For example, CIA
backed Islamic mercs were employed in Afghanistan in the late '70's in
order to provoke a response from the Soviet Union. How many people are
aware of that fact? How many believe the state approved version of events?
That it was an unjustified invasion. And, could we see a scenario playing

Can Pot Save The Democrats?
Last night I interviewed Lee Rogers on KPFK, the Los Angeles Pacifica
station. The show will run tomorrow evening. As you probably know, unless
this is the first time you've ever read *DWT*, Rogers is a progressive
Democrat running for Congress in the northwest corner of L.A. County--
Santa Clarita, the Antelope Valley and Simi Valley. After nearly losing to
Rogers last cycle-- followed by some come-to-Jesus-moment polling--
arch-conservative incumbent Buck McKeon recently announced he would be
retiring from elective politics.
