Wall Street and the federal government’s revolving door

18 Sep

For another perspective on the revolving door see Murray Rothbard’s monograph, Wall Street, Banks and American Foreign Policy.

“April 2015, Zero Hedge: “Gregg Berman will find a hospitable and well-paid position after spending 6 years defending the well-paying HFTs lobby. In all likelihood Berman will join the NY Fed’s shadow trading desk and the world’s most leveraged hedge fund, Citadel itself.”September 2016, WSJ: “Gregg Berman joins Citaldel.”

Bipartisan blundering

11 Sep

“Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton participated in a public forum with veterans on Wednesday night, describing how they’d defeat Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS). Although they diverged on the methods their answers were the same — more war in the middle east. Clinton is playing the role of Ego in American foreign policy, rationalizing unethical decisions, owning up to some questionable decisions (Iraq) but not others (Libya). Meanwhile, Trump is the remorseless Id, the base impulse of empire to seize land and resources through the promise of deadly force. The Id knows colonialism isn’t about bringing the blessings of civilization to conquered, it’s about exploiting them and their resources. Trump seems to understand that in a way Clinton doesn’t, or at least won’t admit.”

“Hillary is quite simply unhinged.”

02 Sep

“Why aren’t anti-war Democrats going ballistic over Hillary’s militarism? 

“While the media and the American people were avidly watching and commenting on Donald Trump’s much-awaited immigration speech, another peroration by a presidential candidate somehow got overlooked: Hillary Clinton’s appearance before the American Legion. Overshadowed by Trump’s visit to Mexico, and his subsequent stem-winder, Hillary’s performance was greeted with tepid applause by her military audience, […]”
