RIAA

The RIAA is sewing college students, Internet2 and has sent threatening letters of intimidation to 140 college presidents asserting that their (monopolistic position) and financial interests are threatened by file sharing, the very raison d'etre of the Internet.

Where are the trial lawyers in all this. The activity of the RIAA and indeed the phone companies is clearly in violation of the Sherman Anti Trust Act if not the constitution. Is the FTC inhibited from acting by lobbying interests? Free enterprise ceases to function when the judiciary slumbers. A point to consider, the special interest cartels and old line monopolies, with enormous economic power, process a mature multi generational culture of shrewdness in combating the justice department and lobbying for yet greater legislative support in their illegal anti trust activity. The prosecutors from the justice department look like teenagers by comparison. Maybe civil action in the form of a class action suit by the high end legal firms will be the only way of checking the unreasonable intimidation, restraint of trade, monopolization and unfair practices of the RIAA and others. All of this impacts the Internet, bandwidth, productivity and thus the economy --- get pissed.

This election will determine the future of the American Republic, Western civilization, and potentially the survival of the human species. Plato suggested that democracies tend to devolve into oligarchies, and we are witnessing that transformation before our eyes. Three major trends in the U.S. threaten to replace our Constitution and representative government with a totalitarian, internationalist, socialistic oligarchy. First, seventy years of Soviet subversion, the Vietnam War, and generations of youth who were taught to reject American institutions have undermined U.S. leadership. Now, Chinese espionage, bribery, and infiltration further contribute to the erosion of America’s traditions of citizenship, enterprise, and prosperity. Second, NGOs in Washington, an entrenched bureaucracy, and organizations like the Trilateral Commission prioritize internation...

Inflation

Many retail investors buy individual stocks with growing confidence in a narket that has a long run. Many fail to appreciate the way the market reflects inflation. Company revenue consists of inflated number,s as does cost and profit, thus the market reflects true inflation which must now be near 100%.
