Russia as the Besieged Fortess

Robert Amsterdam (July 10th, 2009) Writes:
stalin070909.pngLeon Aron at the American Enterprise Institute has a new brief out on Russia following the Summit.  Here's just one section from the report on the use of anti-American propaganda by the Kremlin.

The Kremlin's valiant defense of Russia against alleged plots from the outside evolved into one of the key legitimizing tools of the regime, and deafening and primitive anti-American propaganda became the staple of the state-owned or state-controlled national media. In the words of a Russian observer, the United States is "used as a bogeyman for domestic political purposes."[16] Presiding over the May 2007 military parade to mark the sixty-second anniversary of victory in the Great Patriotic War (World War II), Putin likened the unnamed perpetrators of "new threats" to Russia to the Third Reich

Inhuman Rights

Robert Amsterdam (May 18th, 2009) Writes:
unhrc051709.jpgIn case there were any lingering doubts left among about the morality deficit of the United Nation's beleaguered Human Rights Council (HRC), this article by Ibn Warraq published in City Journal puts the case to rest.  Given that the UN has been rendered nearly toothless by its own authoritarian members on issues of human rights, might John McCain's proposal for the league of democracies come back? 

During his presidential campaign, Republican senator John McCain advocated forming a League of Democracies that would work independently of the UN (though not replace it) to hold dictatorial or totalitarian regimes to account, impose economic sanctions on rogue states, and provide succor to targets of ethnic cleansing or genocide. With its strict rules for membership, such a multinational assembly would be free of internal

SEC Studies Restoring Uptick Rule That Could Have Mitigated Bear Market in U.S. Stocks

Contrarian Profits (May 4th, 2009) Writes:

At a roundtable discussion tomorrow (Tuesday), the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will talk about restoring a rule that some believe could have mitigated the bear market in U.S stocks.

Tomorrow’s meeting, which will focus largely on short-selling, follows recent internal discussions in which SEC officials have talked about restoring the so-called “uptick rule,” a fairly straightforward securities regulation that many experts say could have blunted the steep stock-market sell-off that U.S. stocks experienced in late 2008 and early 2009. The uptick rule was abolished in 2007. U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke is a proponent of the uptick rule’s restoration.

“If the rule is to be restored, it should apply to all equally, including market makers as well as professional traders and individual investors,” Bernanke said if during a question and answer session with

To George W. Bush, With Love

Justice Litle (February 19th, 2009) Writes:

America is in a real pickle these days – but just how did we get here? Jim Amrhein reminds us, in signature pull-no-punches style, that the man who just left the White House had an eight-year hand in this mess…

“Farewell, fair cruelty.” – Shakespeare, Twelfth Night

Like the unceremonious dumping of a codependent spouse once a new lover has come of age, America’s mainstream media seems to have stuffed the entire George W. Bush presidency into a shoebox and crammed it into the back of history’s closet…

I guess this should come as no surprise. For better or worse, a new era of American leadership dawns. And it does not serve the architects of an emergent ethos and by “architects,” I mean the mainstream media — to glorify, or even acknowledge, the achievements of past leaders…

Especially when they’re Republican.

Financial Crisis Challenges Escalate as Republicans Announce Plans to Oppose $825 Billion Obama Stimulus

William Patalon (January 26th, 2009) Writes:

President Barack Obama’s $825 billion stimulus plan heads to the floor of the House of Representatives this week, with House Minority Leader John A. Boehner, R-Ohio, saying many in his party will vote against the package unless significant changes are made.

“Right now, given the concerns that we have over the size of this package and all of the spending in this package, we don’t think it’s going to work,” Rep. Boehner said yesterday (Sunday) on NBC-TV’s “Meet the Press.” “And so if it’s the plan that I see today, put me down in the ‘No’ column.”

The plan – detailed in a Money Morning report last week – could potentially pass the Democrat-dominated House without Republican support, The New York Times reported. But the stimulus plan will face major opposition when it comes before the U.S. Senate, U.S. Sen. John …

Surprise! Coal Nuclear Power are Keys to Obama’s Energy Plan

Contrarian Profits (December 12th, 2008) Writes:

President-elect Barack Obama has made no bones about wanting to jump-start the renewable energy markets – pledging $150 billion for the development of biofuels, solar and wind power, other alternative energy sources during his first term.

But what might the new administration mean for more traditional – and more reliable –energy sources?

Oil is always the first energy source to spring to mind. But it’s hardly a solo act – coal and nuclear make up the other two-thirds of the top fuel trio. Coal delivers 50% of U.S. electricity needs, and nuclear power brings another 20% to the table.

The cold truth is that demand for energy of all types – and especially electricity – is going to keep advancing, domestically and worldwide. And developing alternatives to coal and nuclear will take time. For instance, tying wind and solar into the existing power grid will be enormously expensive and is likely

Guest Article: Why We Should Take a Solutions Approach to the Crisis and Look at Some Things Differently

Fred Fuld (November 17th, 2008) Writes:
Why We Should Take a Solutions Approach to the Crisis and Look at Some Things DifferentlyBy Peter Schiff, President of Euro Pacific Capital, Inc. Author of The Little Book of Bull Moves in Bear MarketsI don't think we're going to see any light at the end of the tunnel until we have a clear, objective understanding of how we got into this mess in the first place. There is a tendency whenever major problems occur in the economy to place blame on external factors and to assume that the external factors can be prevented from causing similar problems in the future by expanding the government's regulatory powers. The problem I have with this kind of thinking is that it makes government bigger and more intrusive without ever getting at the root of the problem, which is usually the government ...

How Investors Can Find ‘Obamanomics’ Profit Plays

Martin Hutchinson (November 16th, 2008) Writes:
The election of Barack Obama as the next U.S. president creates plenty of profit plays for investors in the New Year. By Martin Hutchinson Contributing Editor Money Morning/The Money Map Report With his landslide election victory Tuesday - coupled with Democratic gains in the House of Representatives and in the Senate - U.S. President-elect Barack Obama will have the ability to pursue more or less any policy he wants. For investors who have been trying to analyze the economic outlook for the New Year, the election of U.S. Sen. Obama (D-Ill.) provides a major piece of the forward-looking jigsaw puzzle that these analysts hope to assemble. That’s because the likely trends of the United States and other economies around the world - and the relative success of different sectors within those economies - depends crucially on who’s in the White House, what policies they have, and ...
