Fredrick Töben, the alleged Holocaust denier detained in London last week, was arrested under a “fatally flawed” European arrest warrant, his counsel submitted today.
Ben Watson tried to persuade City of Westminster Magistrates’ Court that Dr Töben should be released unconditionally and allowed to leave the country.
But District Judge Daphne Wickham refused to hear Mr Watson’s application, pointing out that the case had been listed only for a decision on bail.

US troops are back home in America to wage war upon the people of the US. New laws make public dissent of any kind --however peaceful --an act of 'terrorism'. Congress was threatened with martial law, literally blackmailed, into passing the infamous and ineffective bailout! The threat of martial law, therefore, is not only in the official record, it is made clear with the arrival of US troops withdrawn from Iraq to patrol US streets, control crowds, deal with 'civil unrest'.

This amazing news report of Israelis advanced knowledge of 9-11 is a blockbuster and although Fox broke the story, the rest of the mainstream media has been overwhelmimgly silent. This one needs to be passed around for all to see.

It is time to break the deadly silence on derivatives ~ the true, hyper inflationary factor in the current crisis situation is the unregulated, insanely leveraged derivatives trade. This is what is bringing down the stock market . This is the great crime of Alan Greenspan and there are many co-conspirators

Regarding your editorial "A Main Street Rescue" (Sept. 29) and other recent economic coverage: It is surprising that no one has commented on the fact that this country has been cornering the lion's share of the annual awards of the Nobel Prize in economics since its inception but that this country has now become the origin and epicenter of the most serious global economic meltdown since the Great Depression.
Is there a case here for the concerned Noble Prize award committee to seriously consider abolition of the prize for economics altogether?

The collapse in Morgan Stanley's shares late last week has led to a wave of bets being taken on the blue-chip investment bank failing to meet its financial obligations. Investors fear that the bank's debt would return only a fraction of its face value in the event of a bankruptcy filing and are pushing up the cost of insuring its bonds against default.

"The millions of working families of America are now indebted to a few thousand banking families for twice the assessed value of the entire United States. And those banking families obtained that debt against us for the cost of paper, ink and bookkeeping."

Now that the financial system is imploding as we all knew that it would, it's time to get serious about solving the problem that has plagued our nation for almost 200 years - the private central banking system. It's time to let it go. It's time to do what Andrew Jackson tried to do a very long time ago.

We are now entering the financial End Time. Bailout “Plan A” (buy the junk mortgages) has failed, “Plan B” (buy ersatz stocks in the banks to recapitalize them without wiping out current mismanagers) is fizzling, and the debts still can’t be paid. That is the reality Wall Street avoids confronting. “First they ignore you, then they denounce you, and then they say that they knew what you were saying all the time,” said Gandhi. The same might be said of today’s overhang of debts in excess of the economy’s ability to pay.

In an outrageous politicization of journalism, CBS announced it would not air a report on forged documents that the Bush administration used to sell the Iraq war until after the November 2 election (New York Times , 9/25/04). A network spokesperson issued a statement declaring, "We now believe it would be inappropriate to air the report so close to the presidential election."

Some of us look back, as we read the accounts of the atrocities committed by the US upon the Indians, and shake our heads and think “how could our ancestors be so cruel?”
I do not find our ancestor’s cruelty very hard to imagine at all. All I have to do is listen to present day conservatives advocate the death and destruction of Muslims.

The crashing stock market has given its verdict. The financial rescue plan currently being implemented by the U.S. Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve System will fail to revitalize the producing economy, even with continued interest rate cuts. This is because the banking system is essentially a supply-side, trickle- down mechanism with a currency based on a pyramid of bank lending and debt. All the current plans being suggested by economists and others to save the financial system by varying degrees of tinkering are useless.
