Apple v FBI – Oops! FBI Lied

March 22, 2016

Edward Snowden has come out and said that the FBI case against Apple is “bullshit”. Snowden said they were indeed attempting to use terrorism as the justification to force Apple to rewrite their software to allow the government to hack into any phone. Now it turns out that after piles of government affidavits saying they cannot […]

Merrick Garland for the U.S. Supreme Court

March 17, 2016

  President Barack Obama has made his selection for nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court. Appellate court Judge Merrick Garland from the District of Columbia is his choice. Of course, the Senate Republicans have vowed to block any Obama nominee. This is purely politics. Historically, those who have been appointed to the Supreme Court do not […]

Freedom of Speech to be Denied by Attorney General Loretta Lynch

March 14, 2016

Well, here it comes: criminal prosecution for denying there is “climate change” all because this will be the next great tax to match Obamacare.

Part of the collapse in confidence we are experiencing with government stems directly from the fact that politicians engage in far more criminal behavior than anyone in the corporate world. While bankers may manipulate markets to trade against clients, politicians just lie to keep their jobs. The fact that they are incapable of managing the […]

Does the IMF Follow our Forecasts?

February 24, 2016

COMMENT: Marty; it is clear that the IMF is reading your forecasts. No such agency has the power to provide any economic forecast whatsoever. The IMF is starting to mimic your forecasts since you said China would decline into 2020 when no one else said that and now Lagarde says China will be a drag […]

Trump v Apple

February 24, 2016

I believe that Donald Trump is way off base here because he is not a programmer. If Apple creates a backdoor for the FBI in its phones then hackers will also find that back door and all security will be lost. I applaud Apple to standing up to the government. They are a bunch of pinheads […]
