“They sell us the President the same way they sell us our clothes and our cars. They sell us every thing from youth to religion the same time they sell us our wars.” This song, written by Jackson Browne, first came out during Ronald Reagan’s 2nd term of secret wars in South America and open wars in Libya and Lebanon (Operation El Dorado Canyon, etc). Personal friends were killed. Administ

Across the border, Pakistan summoned the Afghan ambassador to lodge a protest, saying it too would defend itself. Afghan tribesmen, elders [...]

WEALTHY investors who have salted their cash away in offshore investments to escape the British tax authorities have been warned they face another broadside, this time from the European Union.Germany is lobbying the EU to extend the 2005 savings tax directive which forced tax authorities to reveal information about those who earned savings income in offshore bank accounts in the wake of a dispute with Liechtenstein over anonymous trust holdings.The savings directive affected only interest from bank accounts, however, and not dividends from shares, discretionary trusts, structured products and offshore insurance bonds.This led to billions of pounds pouring out of Jersey bank accounts into complicated products that were outside the rules.

I saw Richie Havens at Mohegan Sun (a casino in CT) maybe ten years ago. He's incredible live, and a music legend who normally goes under the average person's radar. Cruising around the information superhighway yesterday I found this video from The Weight. Groove Armada and Richie Havens recorded this in 2000, and I hadn't seen the video of anything live until now. If you've ever seen Richie Havens live, who I think became known from playing the original Woodstock, and normally plays solo with an acoustic guitar, it's odd to see him fronting a full band. For more on Richie havens and how he came together with Groove Armada, check out The Weight

By: Josh GeorgeAdware is all over the Internet. From websites, to downloads, it seems there is no escaping its presence. While this may be the case, this article will discuss the primary areas where adware lurks, thus giving you a better chance of preventing it from being installed on your computer.Freeware:It can be argued that the most common area that adware can be found in is freeware. The reason being is because freeware is free to use and is usually supported by adware and pop up software. In short, freeware is software which can be downloaded and used for free by anyone. All the author usually wants is credit for their work. This is not to be confused with open-source software, even though they are very similar. The main difference between freeware and open-source software is that users can download and modify the code in open-source software, unlike in freeware.Since freeware is supposed to be free to use, the author will not ask users for money. Instead, they can pay for any e

Folk-USA Richie Havens (nascido em 21 de janeiro de 1941 no Brooklyn, em Nova Iorque) é um cantor americano de música folk. Havens começou a ficar famoso com o surgimento do movimento folk de Greenwich Village (que também catapultou as carreiras de Joan Baez e Bob Dylan). Em 1969, Havens abriu o Festival de Woodstock; ele foi aclamado pela multidão e foi tocando até ficar sem músicas, decidindo

More than half of all illegal computer access in 2005 was made using computers at Internet cafes, and about 70 percent of such cases in which suspects have not been identified were from cafe computers, according to the National Police Agency. The anonymity provided by Internet cafes helps impede the process of criminal [...]

Shanghai sneezed, Tokyo coughed, the whole world panicked... but avian flu had nothing to do with it. According to Ben Bernanke, Chief Futurologist Officer at the Fed, this week's small bump on the eternal path of glory of the World's greatest stock exchanges doesn't mean the big naughty R will strike anytime soon.Yet it shows how nervous investors are, globally. There is a lot of greedy money everywhere and not only from your usual suspects (the so called developped countries) : everybody is well informed and almost free to invest almost anywhere anytime. Speculation remains good business but demands better nerves than ever. Hedge funds were the first to collapse under their own weight and now, even traditional players struggle. The money is there, growth is there too, but the place is so crowded with both experts and beginners that nothing is guaranteed.There is no such thing as a financial safe haven anymore, and this greedy money will somehow have to focus on tasks more useful f

(Archived in: Related Miscellany Offshore Banking) by Bill PikerIt is important to keep in mind that offshore financial centers were originally established by offshore banks and corporations. Why? Because (they) felt hemmed-in by archaic laws, regulations and statutes. For example, Citicorp (the largest American-owned bank in the United States) was one of the first to set-up offshore operations. It wasn't too long before 64 percent of its net income was being generated by offshore sources.Some of the pioneering centers have evolved into world-class financial and economic headquarters. Since the early 1970s, these centers have initiated policies deliberately designed to attract international trade by minimizing tax obligations and reducing (or entirely eliminating) other restrictions on business operations. The result is that economic activity within these centers is specifically geared to the special global needs of outside businesses and investors.Typically, these centers are smal

(Archived in: Sovereign Rights Related Miscellany Offshore Banking)The mere mention of the words, "Tax Haven" and "Offshore Banking" immediately conjure up thoughts of fraud, money laundering, illicit drug trafficking, and with more recent events, terrorist activities.However, there is another more legitimate side to the offshore banking coin. In reality, anyone who does banking outside of their domicile is "Banking Offshore". So, for instance, if you are a Canadian with a U.S. bank account, this would be considered offshore banking.Offshore banking is considered shady in the U.S., probably because the general public does not understand what it is and how offshore banking works. Oddly enough, U.S. citizens are happily mislead to believe that banking anywhere outside the country is an unsafe practice. Additionally, the government does not like to see investment capital leaving the country.Another reason for this is that foreign banks are prohibited from advertising and marketing their p
