Richie Allen: Tony Gosling On Las Vegas Shooting, Catalan Referendum Violence, Edward Heath & More.

This is a very interesting interview covering many topics although they get a bit absurd when  suggesting that there may be a link between the Las Vegas Shooting and the Catalan Referendum.  At one point in the interview Richie Allen and Tony Gosling talk about how the company KPMK audited HBOS accounts and put £48 billion in the wrong column which made HBOS look like a viable company when it was sold off when it was actually a basket case. British justice took ten years to make a decision...

Justin Raimondo — The Campaign To Rein In the Internet

It’s part and parcel of the “Russia-gate” hoax.… The Powers That Be have always hated the internet, and now they’re finally making some progress in their campaign to have it reined in.

And they...

Roger A. Grimes: American ingenuity: Why the U.S. has the best hackers

The United States is No. 1 at hacking, mainly because we're always pushing the limits of what can be done. The proof? U.S. hackers seldom get caught For a significant part of my career I taught hacking (at Foundstone and other computer security education companies) around the world. I can tell you how well people from different countries hacked, how good they were overall, and what they excelled at. Bear with me while I indulge in geographic stereotyping. Armies of hackers I can't...

Greg Palast: Robert Mundell, evil genius of the euro

The idea that the euro has "failed" is dangerously naive. The euro is doing exactly what its progenitor – and the wealthy 1%-ers who adopted it – predicted and planned for it to do. That progenitor is former University of Chicago economist Robert Mundell. The architect of "supply-side economics" is now a professor at Columbia University, but I knew him through his connection to my Chicago professor, Milton Friedman, back before Mundell's research on currencies and exchange rates had produced...
