How the Treasury and the Fed handled the crisis, and the rapidity with which Congress moved to stimulate the economy, shows that fiscal and monetary policies do work; that Keynesian economics is still relevant to our post-modern times.

American foreign policy since the end of the cold war has been focused primarily on the Middle East and to an alarming extent on the defense and promotion of Israel. Why has Israel become so central to our foreign policy and what advantages does the United States gain from the relationship?

There used to be a habit of framing old Tsarist bonds and putting them on the wall. Lenin's decision to renege on the Russian imperial debt meant that it became mere paper, interesting only as a historical relic. In the light of the recent financial crisis in the USA, could the same thing happen now to the bonds issued by the American government, and could the country which has dominated the world for the last half century now enter history as a bankrupt state? And what can Russia do in the circumstances?

As the world financial and economic crisis comes into its own, the Western community leaders are seeking to impress on mankind the idea that this upheaval will end up ‘turning the world into something different’.

For the first time in history, we have the means to lift all mankind out of the misery of backbreaking toil, disease, and ignorance. But first, we must overcome the irrational fear of nuclear power, and indeed, of science in general, which the controllers of Al Gore have attempted to impose upon us, from motives which are hideously evil.

Our economy is now addicted to debt, and to continue our lifestyle and appearance of wealth we must continue to borrow and be creative at figuring out ways to tolerate increasing levels of debt. Unfortunately, it is a house of cards that will eventually fall. Those who are wise will flee from personal debt, and will hold assets that preserve value, as opposed to holding it in a paper currency.
