POPSHistorian on Panic of 1873 vs. now the current economic woes look a lot like what my 96-year-old grandmother still calls "the real Great Depression." She pinched pennies in the 1930s, but she says that times were not nearly so bad as the depression her grandparents went through. That crash came in 1873 and lasted more than four years. It looks much more like our current crisis.

POPSMishaps mark John McCain's record as naval aviator McCain says he knows how to "win a war." Where did he learn this? He was the very bottom of his class (so he didn't learn it there), he crash three jets during peace-time (so he didn't learn it there), the explosion on the carrier was actually his panicking and dropping his bombs into a fire on the deck (so he didn't learn it there), he was downed and became a POW (so he didn't learn it there), the war he was in was Vietnam, the only war the U.S. ever lost (so he didn't learn it there). So where exactly did McCain acquire this great ability to "win a war?" I don't see it!

POPSDiscovery of Bone Fragments At Fossett Crash Site He described the finding by one of his lieutenants as an oblong piece of bone, measuring 2 by 1 1/2 inches. He said it would be sent to a California Department of Justice lab for testing. Asked about the sheriff's assessment of the physical evidence, NTSB spokesman Terry Williams reaffirmed Rosenker's earlier statement. "We stick by that. It's human remains," said Williams, who declined to say how the NTSB had arrived at that conclusion.

POPSMartial Law Would Be Declared If Bailout Not Passed In House
As former California congressman Dan Hamburg said earlier this year, the 2007 National Defense Authorization Act gives the executive the power to invoke martial law in case of “major public emergencies,” not limited to “a natural disaster, a disease outbreak, a terrorist attack,” but also “any other condition in which the President determines that domestic violence has occurred to the extent that state officials cannot maintain public order.” Obviously, a financial crash and ensuing social chaos of the sort now being implemented by the ruling elite would be characterized as a dire emergency and a near perfect excuse to impose martial law, a long standing goal of the elite. As the Army Times reported last month, a battle-hardened “homeland” brigade is now “going domestic” after spending time in Iraq. It appears this illegal deployment (under Posse Comitatus) is designed to respond to “public disorder” as the economy is deliberately and cynically dismantled at the behest of our rulers.

POPS$700 Billion Bailout Helps Treasury Secretary & His CEO Friends, Hurts Taxpayers In this $700 billion bailout, Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson has cooked up a fishy plan that has taxpayers overpaying for near-worthless paper assets, while giving banks an excuse to falsely mark up the value of that paper to make bad paper look like gold. Any capital actually gained by the banks would be illusory at best. Timing is everything. This plan does not fix anything--it simply delays the crash until AFTER the election, and it creates "the illusion of stronger financial institutions, not strengthening them." Paulson is "helping his friends" (including "Morgan Stanley Chief Executive John Mack.") It took 150 years to make Confederate money worth a dime... Apparently alchemist Henry Paulson has found a way to do it overnight.
