In the 70’s it was the Arab oil princes supposedly buying up everything. Then in the 80’s it was the Japanese business cartels, in the 90’s it was the Europeans and Arab princes again investing heavily in the new infrastructure of the internet. The U.S. has been sold off a long time ago lock stock and barrel. That’s why when this economy sneezes the whole world gets a cold. Who would buy all the consumer crap at inflated prices at inflated interest rates but us? Who would borrow from everyone so heavily against the future earning power of their future generations? Who is crazy enough to allow former enemies to buy up all the government bonds? You guessed it … only us. What a sad, sad joke.  Click link for full story

I understand they don’t like hackers but guess what if people buy the thing it’s theirs. Apple needs to “Think Different” on this issue. If they get their money what do they care? P.S. This is what they get for signing an exclusive deal with the death star AT&T over revenue sharing (that got dropped a year later). Welcome to telecom. Now get out of our phones!

It’s the straight truth. The culture has become twisted and it needs to change for the better. Hip Hop is the most powerful cultural movement created in 50 years. It can be a movement for social transformation and a way forward; but now the chains come with platinum plaques, and white earphones. The movement needs to get back to the roots and the rhymes need to improve. Period. P.S> The beats are banging though…

It is obvious such a controlling government would do this but it also stands as a stark dichotomy to what the games are all about in the first place.

That would have been a catastrophe. Click for more>>

E.U. will eventually become the western Superpower Eclipsing the U.S. Does this seem far fetched? Who owns us anyway? China (bonds) E.U. (bankers, major corps), and Emirates (solvency funding). No major power in History has ever let that happened. We are beholden to all foreign interests. LOL. Its only been like what 18-20 since we squashed Cold War to be only supper power.

But like the music industry, the film industry might have to give indies a real chance. I would assume we will hear the same scenario from other major players soon. I bet we see twice as many animated films over the next two years, until this economy shows some signs of recovery and growth. Click for full story. May Require Sign Up >>
