The Analytics of Bruce Jenner; a National Cover Page

Posted on June 2, 2015 by Curtis Greco

It occurs to me that opening a commentary with a lead such as this risks that someone’s bound to terminate their thinking, believing it’s all about Bruce Jenner. It is as to ambiguity and how it relates in greater context however, as to Bruce individually, I’ll only say that it’s his life and to the extent his actions don’t impale the order of another’s, he’s free to express his liberty as he chooses. As to whether he has that liberty, well, I’ll leave that decision to you.  Read more...

A Greek Lesson

Posted on June 2, 2015 by Curtis Greco

Despite the promise of a “unified Europe” the design of the E.U. was never intended to be a social remedy or blank check. It was and remains an economic tool, a subsuming of a sovereign states’ and a peoples right of self-determination and financial capacity.

Yes, the Greek Peoples willingness to challenge the E.U.’s draconian rule is laudable however, they will soon learn that the security pledged by the Greek State to the E.U. and by extension of the same, the Holders of their Sovereign Debt (Bonds), includes Greek State/Municipal/Public owned assets (and Pensions). The E.U. System is now so thoroughly woven into the economic/financial fabric of the member states that unwinding or releasing a State from the so-called Union will undoubtedly be followed by Portugal and then Spain and quite possibly Italy as well.  Read more...

Extending the Patriot Act

Posted on May 26, 2015 by Curtis Greco

The answer is, quite simply, no; absolutely no! Somewhere in the mix of alarm, fear and necessity is an illogical and irrational sense of purpose and it’s always retroactive. As with the case of any threat the validity of the same is only ever observed after the fact and all too often used as a tool for a most and far more deceptive threat that has nothing to do with an external force.  Read more...

Debt Ceiling Debate No More

Posted on May 26, 2015 by Curtis Greco

Having gone unnoticed is the now silent political contest over the Debt Ceiling. Concurrent with the advent of the Obama Administration and along with it the explosion in Federal Debt, the Debt Limit argument has become a perennial event.

The sudden switch to apathetic political resolve has many reasons & the key elements are:

(1) The Temporary Debt Limit Extension Act (2/2014) that “suspends” the Debt Ceiling.

(2) Sequestration which, in part, has capped certain elements of the Budget.

(3) Political realities have taught the Republicans (and the Democrats) that forcing government shutdowns brings with it a near un-survivable political price.  Read more...

TPP: The Equity in Serving Two Masters!

Posted on May 19, 2015 by Curtis Greco

To understand the danger of Fast-Track Authority, in any Trade Pact dealings, one needs to consider the inherent economic conflict that exists in New World Order Trade Deals.

First, understand that NWO Trade Deals address nation states not as sovereign entities, but simply as regional components of a global market. To the NWO, the American people, in essence, are thus merely a tooth on a single gear amidst a host of thousands of other gear each possessing any number of teeth. Second, NWO Trade Deals treat the individual tooth as irrelevant to the whole. Third, to depress the influence of the single tooth the gears of production are dispersed purely for economic and political advantage of the NWO structure who then relies on the interconnectivity illusion, of the so-called global market place, to promote its agenda.  Read more...
