9/18/2008 Congressman Ron Paul has issued a stinging address concerning the financial crisis in which he outlines how the current economic problems, created via malinvestment and shift to a debt based economy, are now being mismanaged by private interests in secret. Whats more he says he is not sure the Federal Reserve has any idea what to do next and that the Congress is totally oblivious to the whole sorry state of affairs - a cocktail of elements he warns puts the middle class of America in serious jeopardy. Today we had a lot of financial fireworks in the markets, a lot of things are going on, and I think we are in the middle of something very big. the Congressman stated. Speaking on the recent collapse and government bailout of several big financial institutions he warned: Were talking about big bucks, were not talking about hundreds of millions or even hundreds of billions, were talking about trillions of dollars, the obligation is immeasurable. The interesting thing is that they (the financial institutions) dont come to the Congress, I mean the Federal Reserve buys them out, they own it. We as tax payers now own Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and know one knows how much that will cost. They dont come to the Congress, we dont have appropriations, its done by secret government, private individuals behind the scenes maneuvering and manipulating and trying to patch things up. While in the meantime, Im sure theres a few people making a couple of bucks out of this whole thing. The Congressman highlighted how an economy structured on debt and credit and a financial system based on interventionism and self serving moral hazard has led to gross devaluation of the dollar and ultimately lies at the root of the current financial meltdown. Our problems come first of all from the Federal Reserve. It is a monopoly and it controls interest rates artificially low, causes people to make mistakes, thats the basic source. But then on top of that in the Housing market we had the community reinvestment act which told investors that they had to loan to risky borrowers, and that was a risky complication. HUD contributes to this, FDIC contributes, its called moral hazard, everything that we have done over here creates moral hazard, that is we assure people or assume that we will take care of everybody, just go out and create the risk, it is the opposite of the market place. Paul stated. You cant create money like were doing in order to support the dollar, because ultimately it hurts the dollar and everything we do in Washington today whether its on the appropriations side, whether its what the Fed is doing, buying up America, its all putting pressure on the dollar. One of these days were just going to have to wake up and say that we need to liquidate debt. This is malinvestment. he urged. The Congressman then slammed those who have blamed the crisis on failures of the free market: And then they have people come along and say see, this is the failure of capitalism, this has nothing to do with capitalism, this is something that started off as interventionism and us being too involved in the economy for the benefit of special interests. But now it is being socialized out in the open. The end of this comes when people reject the dollar and I think were getting awfully close to this. Paul stated echoing comments from leading investors such as Jim Rogers, who predicted Monday that the dollar would soon lose its world reserve status. When you see the movement in the markets that we have today, you know that there are serious problems out there and Congress basically are oblivious, they have no idea whats going on. Paul continued. As a matter of fact Im not even sure the Federal Reserve has any idea what to do about this. Theyve been manipulating and maneuvering for their own benefit over the years but eventually the market wins out. The Congressmans comments were echoed today by reports indicating that the Congress cannot agree on any form of action and is likely to simply adjourn and get out of the way. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid told reporters that no one knows what to do. In a stark warning, Ron Paul stressed that the longer the value of the dollar is allowed to depreciate, the greater the risk becomes for the majority of Americans: The reason this is so important is that if you care about people in a humanitarian sense, what you want to do is protect the value of the money. Just think of the third world nations when they have total run away inflation, the middle class gets wiped out. And what we are seeing today is the middle class being jeopardized by this type of system that we have, unlimited spending, unlimited debt, unlimited creation of new credit. So its time that we wake up The answers are in the free market, sound money and our Constitution. Paul concluded. Watch the full address by the Congressman:

Following a self-imposed exile, Tim Garbutt and Jez Willis buried the Utah Saints name in the early Noughties (following unreleased albums and contract oblivion), vowing to return under that guise when the time was right. In the meantime they've produced and remixed under their Beatvandals moniker, DJed all over the world, and run the highly successful club night, Sugarbeat, in both England and Scotland. Now ready to take the world by storm once more, Utah Saints are back in 2008, recording new material for a studio album and playing gigs across the UK, with a mix compilation also planned before the year is out. 'Something Good 08 (Van She Tech Remix)' first saw the light of day last year, following Australia's answer to Soulwax, Van She's, reworking of the Utah's original 1992 Top 5 hit. Now signed to the all-conquering Data Records for a full release, expect it to follow the label's 8 Top 10 hits in 2007. Remixes come from High Contrast, Ian Carey, Prok & Fitch, eSquire, and Bart B More.

Correre per stare fermi. Bellissimo titolo di una altrettanto bella canzone dei grandissimi U2. Tratta da The Joshua Tree, non è una canzone molto conosciuta dai non appassionati dato che non è mai uscita ne come singolo ne in raccolte di vario genere, ma vi posso assicurare che ne vale assolutamente la pena. E' una di quelle che segue il "filone" delle canzoni impegnate nel sociale dato che parla di una ragazza Dublinese alle prese con la droga, e l'espressione "correre per stare fermi" rende benissimo la vita di una persona che deve lottare per la droga, per continuare a drogarsi, per non stare male. Una delle mie preferite.
