CAUGHT ON TAPE: Former SEIU Official Reveals Secret Plan To Destroy JP Morgan, Crash The Stock Market, And Redistribute Wealth In America

"A former official of one of the country's most-powerful unions, SEIU, has a secret plan to "destabilize" the country. The plan is designed to destroy JP Morgan, nuke the stock market, and weaken Wall Street's grip on power, thus creating the conditions necessary for a redistribution of wealth and a change in government. The former SEIU official, Stephen Lerner, spoke in a closed session at a Pace University forum last weekend."

Rush Limbaugh laughed about Japanese refugees recycling after the earthquake that struck the country on his Tuesday show. A caller asked Limbaugh, "If these are the people that invented the Prius, have mastered public transportation, recycling, why did Mother Earth, Gaia if you will, hit them with this disaster?" Limbaugh called this an "interesting question," and played a clip of ABC's Diane Sawyer reporting from a shelter in Japan. In the clip, Sawyer is surprised that the refugees in the shelter have maintained a recycling program. Limbaugh first mocked Sawyer, doing an impression of her and saying that "she sounds like she saw her husband for the first time in six months." He then turned to his caller's question.

Oil at $125 would be “really a crucial tipping point,” pushing gasoline to $4 a gallon

Oil at $125 would be “really a crucial tipping point,” pushing gasoline to $4 a gallon, said Carl Riccadonna, senior U.S. economist at Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. in New York. “That would be the level where we start to significantly downgrade our economic projections,” Riccadonna said, including a 50 percent slash in his forecast for growth of about 3.1 percent in household consumption.Oil at $125 would be “really a crucial tipping point,” pushing gasoline to $4 a gallon, said Carl Riccadonna, senior U.S. economist at Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. in New York. “That would be the level where we start to significantly downgrade our economic projections,” Riccadonna said, including a 50 percent slash in his forecast for growth of about 3.1 percent in household consumption.

Courtney Love Defames On Internet (Twitter), Must Settle

"As part of a legal settlement, the musician and actress Courtney Love agreed to begin paying $430,000 this week to a fashion designer who claimed that Ms. Love had posted multiple defamatory 140-character remarks about her on Twitter in March 2009, ruining her reputation and her business. Dawn Simorangkir, the clothing and accessories designer behind the Boudoir Queen line from Austin, Tex., also accused Ms. Love of making disparaging comments about her on MySpace and Etsy.com during a dispute over a $4,000 payment for a dress. Ms. Love, the lead singer for Hole, argued that she was expressing her opinions online and that Ms. Simorangkir’s business did not suffer as the result of the dispute and had in fact, benefited from the publicity of doing business with her. The case was closely watched not only because Ms. Love’s celebrity arises partly from having made a public spectacle of herself during the last two decades. It also would have been one of the first high-profile cases addressing the question of what amounts to defamation on social sites and whether alleged defamatory remarks disseminated on social sites have more or less impact than if they were broadcast or published in traditional media."

Would tapping oil reserve HELP in wake of Libya?

Would tapping oil reserve help in wake of Libya?

"If the crisis escalates, some analysts see $4-per-gallon gas right around the corner, and that concern has the Obama administration considering whether to take the drastic step of tapping the nation's oil reserves.

"The issue of the reserves is one we're considering," White House Chief of Staff William Daley said Sunday on "Meet the Press." "I think there is no one who doubts that the uncertainty in the Middle East right now has caused this tremendous increase in the last number of weeks."

The U.S.-held emergency oil supply - called the Strategic Petroleum Reserve - contains 727,000,000 barrels of oil ... enough to supply the nation for several months.

Proponents say releasing oil from the reserves would calm spiking gas prices and limit the threat to the U.S. economic recovery. Critics say the oil reserves should be saved for a true emergency." 

PR firm with Peter Mandelson link hired to whitewash Libyan regime

PR firm with Peter Mandelson link hired to whitewash Libyan regime

"A PUBLIC relations firm set up by a close friend of former British business secretary Peter Mandelson was hired by Muammar Gaddafi to whitewash his tyrannical regime and win acceptance for Libya in the West.
 

Brown Lloyd James promoted the dictator as a "fascinating contemporary world figure" and his son Saif as a human rights champion. Lord Mandelson, who also knows Saif, has stayed at the Caribbean holiday home of Peter Brown, one of the company's founding partners.

Work carried out by the PR firm, which has offices in London, New York and Tripoli, included:

Reputational management for Saif, highlighting his role in freeing Western hostages and alleviating poverty in Africa;

Promoting a live video address by Colonel Gaddafi to the London School of Economics last December in which he hailed former British prime minister Tony Blair as a friend;

Advising the Libyan ruler before his inaugural address to the UN, 40 years after he came to power.

The activities of BLJ were part of a global drive to gain the former pariah state legitimacy and influence. At least two other US consultancy firms, the Washington-based Livingston Group and Monitor, based in Massachusetts, were paid at least $US5.5 million between them by the regime." 

Unemployment rate drops to 8.9 percent. HAS the economy TURNED A CORNER???

The economy added 192,000 jobs in February, the best showing since May of last year, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday. The politically important unemployment rate fell from 9 percent to 8.9 percent. Economists viewed the employment numbers as “solid” but not “ebullient.” The numbers were a marked improvement over January, when 63,000 jobs were created. (That figure is from a revised report.)

A Booming Economy EVEN GOOD For The Stock Market?

A Booming Economy EVEN GOOD For The Stock Market?

"The economy is doing better, and we will survey some of the highlights. But does this mean the stock market is headed higher? A chart from Louis Gave got me to thinking, and I shot off a few thoughts and questions to Ed Easterling and Vitaliy Katsenelson. What ensued was a lively “battle” of charts and thoughts and more questions, so this week I let you look over my shoulder at our conversation. This letter will print longer than normal, as there are a lot of charts. I think you will find it very thought-provoking, if only a little cautionary. And we start with a look at a survey about what Americans think of the current fiscal deficit and the ways to remedy it."

Apple's iPad 2 unveiling viewed as 'CRUCIAL' to stay ahead of competition

Apple's iPad 2 unveiling viewed as 'CRUCIAL' to stay ahead of competition

"With over a hundred tablets expected to come to market this year looking to take on the iPad, Apple's unveiling of its second-generation tablet on Wednesday will be a critical moment for the company, one analyst believes.

Brian White with Ticonderoga Securities said in a note to investors on Tuesday that he believe's Apple's iPad 2 event, to be held on Wednesday, is a "crucial product launch." In particular, he said, analysts will look to see how well Apple handles the debut of its second-generation iPad with Chief Executive Steve Jobs on a medical leave of absence.

"We estimate there are well over one hundred tablets coming to market around the world this year," White said. "Assuming a new iPad is unveiled at this event, we believe Apple must make a convincing case for why the iPad 2 is better than the plethora of competitors coming to market, while at the same time persuading iPad 1 buyers to upgrade to iPad 2."

With 15 million iPads sold in calendar year 2010, the new device has become a very important product for Apple. White noted that the iPad and related products and services generated $4.61 billion in sales in the first quarter of Apple's fiscal 2011, amounting to 17.2 percent of the company's revenue."
