English: Museu de Cera de Barcelona (Indira Gandhi) (Photo credit: Wikipedia)Is Our Economic Ignorance Increasing?
At the Financial Times John Authers writes ($) of the graph shown above:
Compared to expectations pre-crisis, Richard Dobbs of the McKinsey Global
Institute suggests companies simply expect less growth than they once did.
More technically, Mr Dobbs points to a steady rise in Solow’s Residual.
Named for Robert Solow, the Nobel laureate economist, it refers to the
proportion of growth that cannot be accounted for by extra labour or extra
capital. From 1920 to 1950, this figure was about 33 per cent. Now,
according to McKinsey, the Solow Residual has risen to 50 per cent.

REACTIONS TO AIPAC'S ATTEMPT TO KILL IRAN DEAL
There has been alot of buzz across the Internet the last couple of days
about the swelling opposition in Congress to the Iran nuclear deal.
Right-wing Republicans and Democrats have joined up for a strong effort to
kill any deal with Iran by unilaterally increasing already painful
sanctions. Israel wants Iran taken down. Below is an excellent take on
the issue by Kevin Zeese who helps run PopularResistance.org

AMRITSAR CONSPIRACY
The CIA, Mossad and MI6 were not keen on Indira Gandhi.
Indira Gandhi was assassinated shortly after the 1984 Amristar massacre.
*Britain's SAS regiment helped carry out the massacre in Amritsar in India
in 1984.*
*Amritsar massacre*
This is according to newly released official documents.
*The documents show that a British SAS officer helped the Indian

The Fighting Spirit Among Kansas Populists-- Meet Jim Sherow
Kansas is one of the reddest of the red states. In 2012, Obama only managed
to get 38% of the vote there. He won only two counties in the entire state,
Wyandotte (Kansas City) and Douglas (Lawrence). Earlier, Rick Santorum won
the GOP primary with 51%-- with more than *double* the votes Romney got.
There are no Democrats in their delegation to Congress and in the 40 member
state Senate, there are only 9 Democrats. But only *one* of Kansas'
congressional districts actually looks, on paper, impossible for a
Democrat-- the first CD, the massive western two-thirds of the state, which

Sovereignty 101:Installment 9 - Life Sucks
It is widely accepted that life is hard. My sister was not the only one

of a joyful existence comes off as a frivolous idea – cool if you are lucky
enough to be born with a silver spoon in your mouth or if you are one of
those perpetually optimistic people; but not realistic.
To write here that joy is or ought to be your focus sounds nice but a bit

abundance, health or even free energy. Joy may result if those things are

The GP guy, Francis, replied that they are “against burning coal and fossil

Iraq’s Oil Industry Stagnant In 2013
Despite hopes for continued growth, Iraq’s oil industry was stagnant in
2013. It not only exported less oil than 2012, but it didn’t earn as much
either. That hasn’t stopped the Oil Ministry from predicting huge expansion
in 2014. Most of the major oil fields in the south are going to increase
production this year, but that can’t be exploited unless the government’s
infrastructure projects are completed on time. There are several large ones
that are to be finished by this summer. Baghdad has never done anything on
schedule however, but they will eventually be finished, and when th... more »

I fear, however, that its inability to recognise its Left-wing, pro EU-bias

CONFIRMED: The DEA Struck A Deal With Mexico's Most Notorious Drug Cartel ....... In what should outrage every American - noting this has occurred during the so called War Against Drugs and harsh federal drug sentencing guidelines - we now find out that an investigation by El Universal found that between the years 2000 and 2012, the U.S. government had an arrangement with Mexico's Sinaloa drug cartel that allowed the organization to smuggle billions of dollars of drugs while Sinaloa provided information on rival cartels. ........ here is another head kicking nugget --- Zambada-Niebla's lawyer claimed to the court that in the late 1990s, Castro struck a deal with U.S. agents in which Sinaloa would provide information about rival drug trafficking organizations while the U.S. would dismiss its case against the Sinaloa lawyer and refrain from interfering with Sinaloa drug trafficking activities or actively prosecuting Sinaloa leadership. ...... And we have heard about this before , but still mid blowing ---- "The agents stated that this arrangement had been approved by high-ranking officials and federal prosecutors," Zambada-Niebla lawyer wrote. After being extradited to Chicago in February 2010, Zambada-Niebla argued that he was also "immune from arrest or prosecution" because he actively provided information to U.S. federal agents. ........ And was this what " Fast and Furious Operation " really was all about --- Zambada-Niebla also alleged that Operation Fast and Furious was part of an agreement to finance and arm the cartel in exchange for information used to take down its rivals. (If true, that re-raises the issue regarding what Attorney General Eric Holder knew about the gun-running arrangements.) ---

Maybe The GOP War On Women Will Result In The Re-Release Of "Just Say Roe"
In 1987 I was running Sire for Seymour Stein. He hired me because he felt
the powers at our parent company, Warner Bros, didn't prioritize his

someone there. That was me. When this new music format came along-- CDs--
only priority artists were getting their records released as CDs… Dire

SHARON’S GAZA PULL-OUT: IT WAS NEVER REALLY THAT BIG A DEAL
Zionists and their neoconservative supporters have always framed Ariel
Sharon’s pull-out of the Gaza Strip as some kind of concession to
Palestinians that might result in peace for those Israelis who lived under
the threat of attack from Palestinians who had been ghettoised within the
Strip and were resisting occupation. The pull-out was seen as a precursor
to the ‘land for peace’ deals that Israel was pushing as part of the
‘Israeli-Palestinian Peace Plan’.
The Zionists figured that, if they pulled out of the Gaza Strip, the
Palestinians inside would give up attacking Israel on acc... more »

Al-Qaeda Executes Scores of Rivals in Northern SyriaExecuted Huge Number of
al-Nusra Fighters
by Jason Ditz, January 12, 2014
Print This | Share This
Underscoring just how ugly the infighting among rebel factions in northern
Syria has gotten, al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) has captured and executed an
estimated 70 rivals, including a large number of fighters from Jabhat
al-Nusra, another al-Qaeda affiliate.
The fighting that began a week ago Friday claimed 500 dead in the first
week, and a weekend of fighting and executions has brought that number to at

My third re-posted Paul Craig Roberts blog in a row(!), this one having to do with U.S. unemployment. The remarkable fact here is that the folks at the Bureau of Labor Statistics have finally come out with a payroll jobs report that disproves the alleged recovery. This has led PCR to "wonder how the BLS civil servants who produced it can avoid retribution" ...for letting us know that there is no -- and can never be -- a recovery from the "great recession" so long as 73% of the US work force continues to earn less than $50,000, millions of others have searched for but finally given up trying to find a job, and no new jobs are being created.

the latest negotiations with Iran will “implicitly recognize Iran’s ‘right’

to build a bomb within a few weeks or months”.
First off, Iran, as a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty,
has always had the right to enrich uranium for peaceful purposes and, while
Iran’s enemies have tried desperately to accuse Iran of having a nuclear
weapons program, there has never been any hard evidence produced to support
the claim. All t... more »

Oh, that Daily Mail outlook
Yeah, it's more funny than sinister, but this unremitting drive to

Tobacco Tax 9: Why Earmarking Legislation is Wrong
The Sin Tax Reform Act of 2012 (RA 10351) is one year old (enacted December
20, 2012) and after its first year implementation, it seems to have
exceeded its revenue target. BIR said sin tax collection in 2012 full year
was P50.4 billion, and January-November 2013 collection was P91.6 billion,
higher than full year 2013 target of P85.8 billion.

money?

Minimum Wage as an Antipoverty Tool
David Henderson reports:
If the federal minimum wage were increased to $9.50 per hour:
- Only 11.3 percent of workers who would gain from the increase live in
households officially defined as poor.
- A whopping 63.2 percent of workers who would gain were second or even
third earners living in households with incomes equal to twice the poverty
line or more.
- Some 42.3 percent of workers who would gain were second or even third
earners who live in households that have incomes equal to three times the
poverty line or more.
