One more call for replacement of the dollar with SDRs, which will be under central management at the BIS (Bank of International Settlements). My notes in brackets.
Reuters, Tuesday, 29 Jun 2010
“A new United Nations report released on Tuesday calls for abandoning the U.S. dollar as the main global reserve currency, saying it has been [...]![](http://web.archive.org./web/20130429173438im_/http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/LilaRajivaTheMindBodyPolitic/~4/JWcH3gN3d74)
Lloyd Marcus at Renew America, June 28, 2010:
“Again, I say charges that the movement is racist are absurd. Here are a few of my personal tea party experiences. Keep in mind, I have performed at well over two hundred tea parties across America.
Before singing my “American Tea Party Anthem,” I say, “Hello my [...]![](http://web.archive.org./web/20130429173438im_/http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/LilaRajivaTheMindBodyPolitic/~4/oCXsrvduhqc)
An article by Nicky Hager at Cryptome.org from Covert Action Quarterly (1998) about Echelon. Hager’s book on the subject, “Secret Power: New Zealand’s Role In the International Spy Network,” is dated 1996, so I’m a little confused by the dating of the article. Echelon is/was a global espionage and interception system coordinated by the [...]![](http://web.archive.org./web/20130429173438im_/http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/LilaRajivaTheMindBodyPolitic/~4/JPBvbWJQbSw)
Chuckle. I see that Lew Rockwell has a podcast today with Russ Baker, the founder of the site, WhoWhatWhy.com, from which this piece is published.
Interesting background here on UBS, the Swiss bank (and leading kleptocrat) involved in the biggest off-shore scandal in recent history (hat-tip to The Daily Bell commenter who posted it):
“It is worth [...]![](http://web.archive.org./web/20130429173438im_/http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/LilaRajivaTheMindBodyPolitic/~4/xIoKG2A7IIY)

From Eric Sommer at Pravda.ru via Market Oracle, January 14, 2010:
“The western media is currently full of articles on Google’s ‘threat to quit China’ over internet censorship issues, and the company’s ’suspicion’ that the Chinese government was behind attempts to ‘break-in’ to several Google email accounts used by ‘Chinese dissidents’.
However, the media has almost completely [...]![](http://web.archive.org./web/20130429173438im_/http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/LilaRajivaTheMindBodyPolitic/~4/YOIJ9LqvYIg)
I just discovered the delightful pianist and satirist, Tom Lehrer, via Roderick Long’s blog. A mathematician (BA magna cum laude from Harvard, a phi beta kappa, and teaching stints at MIT, Harvard, and Wellesley, although he never finished his doctorate), Lehrer was employed at Los Alamos and the National Security Agency and then lectured widely [...]![](http://web.archive.org./web/20130429173438im_/http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/LilaRajivaTheMindBodyPolitic/~4/q9Qi3ak9k88)
I couldn’t find any other convenient run-down of the evidence pointing to sabotage or extreme negligence in the BP oil spill, so I’ve linked PrisonPlanet.com’s report. I’ve checked the material and it’s well-sourced and confirms my own research, so I’m comfortable posting it.
I’m still not sure about the reports of [...]![](http://web.archive.org./web/20130429173438im_/http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/LilaRajivaTheMindBodyPolitic/~4/DPkp-ESVct0)
For people who think passing a law or imposing a fine on some behavior invariably gets you less of the behavior or an improvement of it, try this heart-rending Natural News report:
“By now, almost everyone is aware of the out-of-control oil spill down in the Gulf of Mexico that seems to be getting exponentially [...]![](http://web.archive.org./web/20130429173438im_/http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/LilaRajivaTheMindBodyPolitic/~4/jnMhUIbp_po)
Reporter David Weigel’s feverish imaginings about the group he pretends to cover objectively have surfaced in emails sent to the liberal listserv, Journolist, according to Fishbowl DC (hat-tip to LRC blog).
Why am I not surprised?
Global-warming “scientists” turn out to be political hacks grinding over-sized axes; “educators” preaching “tolerance” and “love” turn out to be sexual [...]![](http://web.archive.org./web/20130429173438im_/http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/LilaRajivaTheMindBodyPolitic/~4/jMjh-6zH6eg)
