| After firing, Bannon returns to his 'killing machine' |
By James Oliphant & Steve Holland 2017-08-20
The New Legalist editor: Read this and see for reference the nuances in the current politics of this deeply divided USA. Whether "globalists" or nationalists or "centrist" Democrats, all have been adopting a monopolistic-capitalistic-imperialistic policy, dominating globally and domestically, in the interests of the 1%, not those of the 99% working people, while trying to cover up their real purpose by instigating or indulging racial conflicts from seemingly opposite standpoints like in a two-man comic show. All who are trying to defend the interests of the 99% need to see through all this ... |

Trump and his daughter Ivanka are owners of global retail businesses whose cosmetics and clothing are manufactured in China and exported to the US, thereby contributing to their country's trade deficit. The insatiable pursuit of financial profit as the sole objective leads inevitably to the gutting of one's own country and compatriots if it means that profits can be maximized elsewhere. For over 30 years, American workers and communities have been decimated by capitalists like Trump and other oligarchs who had no conscience about betraying their compatriots to make big bucks somewhere overseas. |

| Putting an End to the Rent Economy |
By Michael Hudson 2017-08-18
In an Orwellian doublethink language, a free market now means an economy free for rent extractors, free for predators to make money, and essentially free for financial and corporate crime. The Obama Administration de-criminalized fraud. This has attracted the biggest criminals – and the wealthiest families – to the banking sector, because that’s where the money is. Crooks want to rob banks, and the best way to rob a bank is to own one. So criminals become bankers. You can look at Iceland, at HSBC, or at Citibank and Wells-Fargo in the news today. Their repeated lawbreaking and criminal activities have been shown to be endemic in the US. But nobody goes to jail. You can steal as much money as you want, and you’ll never go to jail if you’re a banker and pay off the political parties with campaign contribution. It’s much like drug dealers paying off crooked police forces. So crime is pouring into the financial system. |
