Benjamin Netanyahu blasts UN, calls it like is.

Benjamin 'Bibi' Netanyahu is a leader worthy of admiration and respect. He speaks with moral clarity, conviction and honesty that appears to be missing from modern day politicians. Bibi correctly assaults the UN for supporting and condoning Mahmoud Wackajob's Holocaust-denying anti-Semitic rhetoric while commending US/Canada for walking out. Unfortunately Bibi used up his precious time to prove to the incompetent UN council to prove that the Holocaust indeed happened by citing documents and "proof". Perhaps debate has withered to such an alarmingly degrading common denominator where we must actually challenge Holocaust.

This of course brings a much more important question and one that Bibi raises. If the UN charter has turned into a "mockery" then perhaps we should seriously reconsider our involvement and funding of this organization. We are the chief contributors to UN yet the advantage we yield from pouring money into this cesspool of hate. They were ineffectual against Iraq, ineffectual in Darfour and equates Zionism with racism.

Watch the speech below and be amazed as Bibi lays out in succinct manner the threat we are facing. That is, 9th century barbarism in the form of radical Islam. The same kind of radicalism embodied within Iran's "leader" and threatens not only Israel, but to the entire civilized world. He passionately objects to UN's constant conclusion of Israel always being at fault, always siding on the side of terrorism regardless of the circumstance. Certainly the difficulty of the Palestinian situation cannot be understated, but UN's miraculous ability to point the finger at Israel raises skepticism regarding their objectivity and intent.

I applaud you Mr. Netanyahu for being honest and continuing to demonstrate a willingness to promote peace, "a defensible peace, a sustainable peace".

The 2009 credit boom is coming to an end.

The credit expansion boom of 2009 will eventually go down as yet another period of credit expansion promoted by the Fed that will have lead to another predictable bust.   Today, it will be interesting to examine how the various levels of production are behaving under years and years of artificial interest rate suppression.  It will also be helpful to look at charts and graphs examining the business cycle theory and the impact of time preference as taught by Mises. For starters, those new to the concept - a very brief paraphrasing of the general idea. Under a healthy functioning market people's consumer patterns impact their savings.  More consumption equals less saving and less consumption more saving.  In order to progress the society must save such that it can make investments in machinery, equipment, technology, etc if it hopes to increase the capacity of production.   Sure ,you can harvest 10 coconuts a day, consume them by night and repeat the process.  You can also defe

What is wrong with this country?

I was browsing the latest IBD poll and it finally struck me. I had this idea brewing for the past few weeks now and this particular poll hit a nerve. What jumped out was the age group and who they are likely voting for. Obama / McCain 18-24: 74% 21% The rest of the age groups are more or less even with ages 65+ leaning more for McCain. Those folks should probably avoid leaning - hazardous to their health. Now, if you are a member of this group and are part of the 74% you are probably feeling good about yourself. If you are in the 21% then you are probably used to feeling desperate and angry that your peers ostracize you as if you were the next coming of the bubonic plague. But this number is very telling. Showing to us that a large group of freshly minted liberals, on average still in college, is in a very good position to influence these elections. Enthralled by the concept of "what they want the world to be" and their utopian ideals they hammer their message to anyone willi

401k Takeover Proposal. IRAs in danger?

Just read a piece that made my blood boil. The story is from Carolina Journal, but I will paste the first paragraph below. Even if you currently do not have a 401k, this is the most dangerous proposal I have ever heard. The only similar example I can think of, would be the gold seizure under FDR. If this proposal becomes legitimate, you MUST write to your local representative, congressman, senator, etc. This will be absolutely crippling to our economy as investors will stage a mass exodus out of the market. If you want a demonstration of this in action, look at Argentina. They just did something very similar. I will keep my eyes on the story and will add further information to demonstrate just how dangerous this is. November 04, 2008 RALEIGH — Democrats in the U.S. House have been conducting hearings on proposals to confiscate workers’ personal retirement accounts — including 401(k)s and IRAs — and convert them to accounts managed by the Social Security Administration. Triggered by the
