** Richard Cook: Economic Democracy and a Guide to the 2008 Elections ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- This article on the 2008 elections is the culmination of my efforts in presenting my economic ideas that has been going on over the last year. I know that everything in it will not be acceptable to purists of various persuasions. But I have gradually become convinced that the best solution to our problems is one that draws from the best thinking of different schools of thought. I believe that much in our economic system is good and worth preserving. I believe that we must get to where we are going by departing from where we are, not trying to build a new mental Utopia then quibbling over the details. So this is my best effort for now. All the best, and thanks to all the friends I have made around the world in the past year who have helped me get to where I am today. - Sat, Jan 12 2008 9:04 am http://groups.google.com/group/newslog/t/2e2a21839306e2a7?hl=en * rkm: Holocaust, Regionalism, and the End of Capitalism * ------------------------------------------------------------------ Holocaust, Regionalism, and the End of Capitalism Richard K.

There is a growing sense of crisis that neither mainstream leaders nor the public quite know what to do with. Many of us are talking about it in our own circles, separately, out of the public eye. Very little of this conversation is visible in the mainstream press and political debates, so we don't realize how many other people and institutions are discussing it." - Sat, Jan 12 2008 9:17 am http://groups.google.com/group/newslog/t/72cac22631628c7a?hl=en * Naval incident: Tonkin II attempt by neocons?? -------------------------------------------------------- Below: Bush Exploits Strait Of Hormuz Incident To Threaten Iran By Peter Symonds [link] ____________________ Inter Press Service News Agency Friday, January 11, 2008 16:54 GMT POLITICS-US: Official Version of Naval Incident Starts to Unravel [link] - Sat, Jan 12 2008 9:14 am http://groups.google.com/group/newslog/t/2964fdff865c9ded?hl=en Paul Joseph Watson: Widespread Vote Fraud In New Hampshire ------------------------------------------------------------------ - Rudy Giuliani, the 9/11 candidate who beat Ron Paul thanks to the aid of a 3% swing on Diebold voting machines, received 9.11% of the vote in three different towns.
