Gordon Brown Book: 9 Big Banks Manipulating World Economy

Check out the crooked world of global banking.

From Denny: Former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown brings into focus the world economic meltdown in his latest book "Beyond The Crash: Overcoming The First Crisis of Globalisation." This video clip is the extended interview and also an exclusive one with Jon Stewart on The Daily Show.

Former Prime Minister Gordon Brown Exclusive Interview

The revelations of inept government and banking officials is astounding here. Government leaders around the world assumed that bankers were professionals and actually knew and understood the banking system. According to PM Brown, apparently bankers from renowned global Big Banks admitted to not understanding the concept of how to calculate financial risk. That's like saying you don't understand the concept of burning yourself if you put your hand into the roaring fire. Unbelievable.

WikiLeaks, Obama Tax Cuts, Political Humor - 11 Dec 2010

More Santa and WikiLeaks cartoons for fun.

From Denny: Big government moves soooo slooow like this silly sloth. The Democrats give in to the Republicans protecting the very rich in this country. The problem is that the extension of the Bush Tax Cuts is a not paid for $900 billion two-year gamble in a shaky economy. Not exactly the best odds. Let's hope Obama gets this one right because most economists and the public don't feel confident about it.

Moving right along to the WikiLeaks amusement. This week the WikiLeaks thugs got in a snit with Mastercard, Visa and Paypal for not allowing anyone to donate to WikiLeaks, essentially cutting off a lot of their funding. So, about 40,000 folks downloaded some happy software that took over their computers and basically jammed the servers of Mastercard, Visa and Paypal, shutting down their sites. Why anyone would allow some anonymous site to take over their computer is beyond me. Talk about a personal security nightmare.

Anyway, the word is that WikiLeaks kids are also making mischief on those sites, messing with accounts. Here's a suggestion to WikiLeaks followers: how about tripping on over to all the Big Banks and making like Robin Hood during the holiday season? You could zero out account balances for people in hospital, past due credit cards, house mortgages in foreclosure and the like. Oh, what fun we have on the way to Grandma's for Christmas! :)

Sellout Obama and Bush Tax Cuts Firestorm Angers America

Obama continues to bully a bad tax plan down the throats of America.


 


President refuses to caucus with his own Democrats, stiff-arms them

From Denny: President Obama continues to refuse to caucus with his own Democratic Party. How illogical and insane is this? Answer: very. For some reason this President has adopted a President Nixon autocratic condescending leadership style of which the Democrats are now thoroughly in revolt.

Black Caucus refuses to support the President

Even the African-American caucus does not support him on this Bush Tax Cuts plan he tried to ram down every one's throat. Obama never consulted with any of his own party but rather this plan just suddenly appeared out of thin air via Obama and his senior advisers who met solely with Republican leadership. Increasingly, the Democratic leadership is abandoning Obama on key issues - like national security.

Democrats part ways with Obama 

Here's how the Democratic leadership have gone their own way on current legislation up for vote:

Funny Lite: Roundup of Late Night Jokes and Videos - 8 Dec 2010

Check out how the comedians view WikiLeaks and Santa.

From Denny:  WikiLeaks has permeated the world culture - even with comedians. After all, the political and diplomatic spheres are already known for "leaks" so why shouldn't everything else not be "on the table"? From Santa to a Nigerian corrupt government trying to arrest one of America's corrupt politicians, Cheney, the news has been profitable for American comedians ready to tell us a joke - that also happens to be the truth.

17 Funny WikiLeaks Cartoons

WikiLeaks never fails to entertain and outrage the world. Check out the cartoonists lampooning with glee.

From Denny:  I figured since WikiLeaks is busy gathering up interesting government information around the world I might as well round up the best of the funny WikiLeaks cartoons. You know I used to be of the opinion that WikiLeaks founder Assange was just a very odd guy with an arrogance complex who enjoyed dealing in espionage and making a helluva profit at it. After all, all he does is sell the sizzle to his willing wide-eyed followers who believe his scam about justice and morality in the world. Meanwhile, Assange is selling secret information to various governments and stuffing his pockets full of wads of cash.  After he makes his profit he releases the rest of the docs, some in public domain, some not as important as he claims.

Like any "secret agent" who decides to become a double or triple agent he is now discovering the scam is getting more and more difficult to maintain. The wear and tear on him has begun to show visibly. He is increasingly more paranoid and disheveled. He is currently running from an Interpol arrest for rape charges in Sweden. His latest act of hubris is to think he can hold the world hostage. Yeah, that's right. This crazy man says he will release even more docs if he is arrested.  So, "How dare you arrest me?" is his taunt. Since when did world criminals dictate to anyone?
