    REPORT: Oman Trade Pact Permits Foreign Ownership Of US Nat’l Security Assets By David Sirota 7.18.06 In an explosive report tonight, top House Democrats discovered provisions in the controversial Oman Free Trade Agreement that would permit foreign ownership of U.S. ports and other key national security assets.

    In college my History professor constantly advised us to "follow the money" if you want to know what causes international conflict. In the current Mid East fiasco this could never be more obvious.
    The U.S. sells an inordinate amount of expensive sophisticated weaponry to Israel each year, and the truth is...we ALSO sell it "sub rosa", via neutral third countries...to various Arab quasi-terror organizations!

    Is The USA Bankrupt? Bill Bonner, Editor: The Daily Reckoning Tuesday, July 18, 2006
    Is the United States of America, asks Laurence J. Kotlikoff, professor of economics at Boston University, "at the end of its resources, exhausted, stripped bare, destitute, bereft, wanting in property, or wrecked in consequence of failure to pay its creditors?"
    Or, abandoning the Oxford English Dictionary for Ray Charles, are Americans "busted, broke...no bread...I mean like nuthin’?"

    Foreign Companies Buy US Roads, Bridges By Leslie Miller, Associated Press Writer July 15, 2006; 2:44 EDT
    WASHINGTON (AP) - Roads and bridges built by U.S. taxpayers are starting to be sold off, and so far foreign-owned companies are doing the buying.
    On a single day in June, an Australian-Spanish partnership paid $3.8 billion to lease the Indiana Toll Road. An Australian company bought a 99-year lease on Virginia’s Pocahontas Parkway, and Texas officials decided to let a (…)

    Unregulated Capitalism is a continuing crime that has enabled most of what passes for commerce today.
    The latest and perhaps most serious attempt to regulate those of us who challenge these behemoths of commerce and industry; is the pending legislation that seeks total control over who can use the world-wide web. If these people have their way, the internet will become a toll-road with diamond lanes for them and the backroads of lengthy delays for the rest of America. If (…)

Bush called it "disgraceful" that the newspapers reported that Treasury Department officials acquired access to the world’s largest international financial database, the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication, commonly known (…)

    Bush Busy Attacking Messengers As Terrorists Remain Unmolested By Bill Gallagher July 3 2006
    Detroit - The attacks on the media, especially The New York Times, over revelations that the Bush administration has been secretly rummaging through international banking transactions, deflects attention from a far more serious issue.
