Comments on: American Communism Has Arrived http://revellian.com/2008/10/03/american-communism-has-arrived/ Thoughts and Fiction of Bobby Revell Thu, 20 Oct 2011 16:27:02 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Revellian http://revellian.com/2008/10/03/american-communism-has-arrived/comment-page-1/#comment-12647 Revellian Mon, 06 Oct 2008 16:21:05 +0000 http://revellian.com/?p=809#comment-12647 Hey Ana, I think a financial collapse would be a good thing and allow the world to recover even faster. That's the entire idea behind Ron Paul and his belief in Austrian economics. It's not only about letting the free market correct itself, it involves an incredible reduction in governmental size and power and intense reform of the federal reserve which should never be buying the private market. One great thing and a positive note: The entire world is becoming economically savvy. Hell, I've learned so much from reading tons of stuff I've never thought about before. I read every major news/financial/political newspaper (on line of course) and everyone should do the same. If you're interested, read this fantastic article about the politics of globalism (it's so good): http://www.weeklystandard.com/Content/Public/Articles/000/000/015/660ondlm.asp Oh yeah, I'm reading your article on outsourcing wombs in India. What an unbelievable and virtually unknown problem of epic proportions. Hey Ana, I think a financial collapse would be a good thing and allow the world to recover even faster.

Our reserve bank is going to lower interest rates on home loans pretty soon, which will see the commercial banks lower rates, however the reduction isn't going to be passed on to the ordinary citizen with the mortgage, and guess what? Our government is supporting the banks on this. The idea of a government ruling a company is false. Corporations are ruling countries and governments around the world let them do it. I don't know if this financial crisis will change this. Sometimes I hope for it all to crash, to become rubble, so drastic changes are made and governments actually govern for the people, and corporations are kept on a leash, made accountable for their greed, exploitation and stupidity (did you know that Starbucks in the UK wastes 1.6 million liters of water a day because their policy is to keep taps running - because they're too 'dumb' or pretend they're dumb to find an alternative to reduce germs on spoons during preparation? One would think Starbucks as a corporation could afford to fit out each outlet with spoons to enable single usage - but they're tightwads. I read about Starbucks today and I was shocked and angry, angry at the way ordinary people are hassled about the environment, when corporations are the main culprits of climate changes and wastage) Oh, btw…the recent financial flux (over the last 48 hours) has seen the same attitude with the Australian government.

Yes, Obama doesn't know how many states there are, but in America, you will NEVER hear the media play that sound byte. The U.S. news is so liberal and biased it makes me sick. Did you know that George Bush tried to pass legislation to reform and oversee Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac...TWICE? The democrats shot it down twice. This entire melt down was caused by Bill Clinton and the democrats drove in the coffin nails. I don't like Bush, but I have to give him credit. He warned us about this meltdown back in 2003!!!! His mistake was the Iraq war, not the financial crisis - though he should have put 200% more effort in getting his twice failed bill passed. I'm glad you mentioned globalization. This is what I've been saying all along. This is what I mean by the "New World Order" - really just referring to the concept of globalism, not a secret underground group of back room deals and secret rulers. The Iraq war was such a foolish mistake - and to send thousands of innocent boys to their deaths for no real reason makes me sick. Now America is behind Obama, the man whose party was responsible for the majority of this credit crisis. The president America needs at this time in history is Ron Paul - a man light years beyond the two main candidates on every level. Who would be the better president between Obama and McCain? It's war versus the people who caused the majority of the meltdown. I'm inclined to believe the meltdown is worse than the war. In terms of cost, the war pales in comparison to the credit crisis, which would have happened even without the war. It's a catch-22 and America should storm the white house lawn. Though Sarah Palin knows nothing about history or world affairs, she still has more experience than Obama, who has received more back room political training and coaching than all the candidates put together. Overall, I believe I would be a better president than all of them...LOL!!!! :mrgreen: Hi Ana!

I was watching the news today (or tonight, my time) and it was said that the approval (for the bail out) didn't encourage markets. In fact, Europe and Asia took huge hits on the stockmarket. Maybe this is the result of stupid globalization. A friend of mine that has studied economics in London, calls globalization a 'necessary process for the oligarchy.' Sometimes I think this globalization is screwing up the world. Outsourcing is something that has affected (and continues to affect) many people, and the thing is, if globalization put everyone on equal footing it would be fine, but it doesn't. Big companies like Microsoft (and other corporations) go to India, and they only concentrate on the cities. The rural areas, or the millions that still live in smaller districts/cities, don't prosper and the corporations don't give anything back to the communities or cities. I was reading, in a magazine, an article on surrogacy in India that I blogged about, and I couldn't believe that surrogacy or 'wombs for rent' in India is a multi-million dollar industry to the tune of around 450 million dollars a year. Pretty soon it will outstrip the US porn industry profit. To think that there are so many displaced children out there, especially in western nations, and a portion of people with the money would rather rent a womb to have their embryos implanted and all of the female surrogate mothers in India earn less than a hundred dollars a month, with no other financial/occupational choices. Jeez Bobby I don't know what to make of the Presidential campaign now. Sarah Palin's idea that the wars are about winning, that of them being 'winnable' is completely insane. Then when I saw Obama getting the number of American states wrong, saying "fifty seven states," I laughed out loud thinking 'how moronic?' I live in Australia and know there are 50 states. What is his excuse? As for the bailout, I have no idea how there are going to be plenty of tax breaks for ordinary American citizens when another 26,000 troops are to head out. The cost of two military operations (they're not longer wars but occupations) is enough of a nightmare in terms of dollars. Hi Bobby.

That was a fantastic report - physicists and mathematicians designing algorithms to predict human behavior in the market. Indeed the crooked brokers used this information to create loopholes, taking advantage of the Clinton administration's push to loan money to unqualified people. What a mind boggling mess!!!!! Thanks for telling me about that, I didn't see it when it aired :smile: Hi Dave!

I just can't understand how more credit and loans will fix a credit and loan problem. Don't go postal, have a slice of cheesecake with me :smile: What bothers me Teeni, is how the media acts like it’s no big deal – just another congressional bill.

If America goes down, it will take many countries with it - though we aren't the only country in trouble, it's pretty much worldwide. I guess I really shouldn't be worried, I know how to live off the land. How's the moose hunting up in Canada? Hahaha :mrgreen: Well hello Christy!!!
