Shock and disbelief are now the primary responses among those who thought complete disaster in the U.S. financial markets could never happen.

Are the 'whistleblowers' - Ron Paul among them - going to be the ones that foresaw the problems and worked to turn the tide amidst a majority that ignored the signs of trouble?

One would think that by the time 2009 rolled around, Internet access problems would be a thing of the past. Not so. Some of the old companies with the worst reputations started the same games under new names [DirecTV became HUGHES.NET]and started signing consumers again -- largely without a proper warning by the press. How do you avoid getting scammed?

Ask in advance about their FAP record [they shut off your Internet if you use it too much] and -- even if your use is limited, you can find yourself with having violated their policies -- so call them and let them know you are recording the call -- or ask to 'get that in writing' before signing a contract with them. Google their company name name online followed by a word like 'scam' or 'rip-off' or 'I hate [COMPANY NAME]'. If you hit into thousands of hits -- and especially if you discover 40,000 hits or more, you can bet there's a bigger problem than just 'run-of-the-mill consumer issues.



The Citizen's Coalition recently formed in Quartzsite is taking issue with the status of the post vacated when Bennett relinquished his position citing 'personal reasons.'
 

'

Bennett's letter of resignation was presented to the council Wednesday, August 27th, and formally accepted at a special meeting held Wednesday, August 28th. Many spectators at Tuesday's meeting indicated they found the diatribe presented against Mayor Bennett offensive, even though the case against Bennett -- presented without interruption by Daniel Field-- did not appear to be without merit.

Bennett officiated during the first part of that Tuesday council meeting and excused himself for the duration of the session, leaving the room to the remaining members of the council and Town Manager/Attorney Daniel G. Field, to discuss the case against him in open session, with many townspeople in attendance. He did not attend Thursday's meeting when his resignation was presented for acceptance.

The FANNIE & FREDDIE and Ford Fiascos, and GM and Chrysler and AIG, MORGAN STANLEY, WAMU and... bailout anyone?

The bailouts are being described as amounts TEN TIMES THE NATIONAL DEBT. 10% of the banks are on the verge of failure...

The fact is, there's more money changing hands than is comfortable for most people: huge losses are being sustained by even the most savvy and frugal investors, the downturns keep happening and the pivotal 'turnarounds' that would typically allow losers to recoup are becoming fewer with ever lengthening periods of time in between.

Is it the 'redistribution of wealth' that's been a source of such concern of late?

Be sure to hit our FINANCE SECTION for information and even referrals... and stay on top of what's happening in the SCAM department: as times get tougher, more and more are scamming both individuals and businesses.

Ron Paul has issued a scathing statement concerning the present state of financial irresponsibility on the part of U.S. leadership...

The Republican National Committee is  it at the center of a firefight in St. Paul MN as the RNC Convention got underway with McCain as the 'party choice' amidst a flurry of protests, with many protesters being arrested.

More than a few disagree that the numbers  of McCain supporters were tallied accurately, and it seems to be those people -- some politically prominent -- that are becoming increasingly vocal with 50,000 people expected to participate in the St. Paul protest.

Even their detractors agree that they may have a point: Why was Ron Paul -- the stated winner of every debate in which he participated - suddenly prevented from debating either McCain, Clinton or Obama?

Another point of contention is the current rhetoric Palin is spewing about Russia: while the world awaits her making her first real speech, her first remarks took many by surprise.

Those persons within the U.S. [and many of those abroad] who oppose further war involvement are greatly concerned that yet another war is evolving on yet another front.

Are their concerns justified?

What's behind the financial crisis?
