Why the Bank Crisis isn’t Over

BY MICHAEL HUDSON Photograph by Nathaniel St. Clair. The crashes of Silvergate, Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank and the related bank insolvencies are much more serious than the 2008-09 crash. The problem at that time was crooked banks making bad mortgage loans. Debtors were unable to pay and were defaulting, and it turned out that the real estate that they had pledged as collateral was fraudulently overvalued, “mark-to-fantasy” junk mortgages made by false valuations of the property’s actual market price and the borrower’s income. Banks sold these loans to institutional buyers such as pension funds, German savings banks and other gullible buyers who had drunk Alan Greenspan’s neoliberal Kool Aid, believing that banks would not cheat them. Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) investm...

Palestine-‘Israel’: We tell the same old lies, time after time

Palestine-Israel: We tell the same old lies, time after times Western powers continue their treachery and double standards in hope of ensuring Middle East strife goes on for ever By Stuart Littlewood “The first casualty of war is the truth,” and this well-known warning by Hiram Johnson (though slightly misquoted) certainly applies in the case of Palestine’s 75-year struggle against the Zionists’ armed intrusion and takeover. It isn’t strictly a war, it’s the nasty, vicious suppression of a peaceful and civilised people by alien thugs with an army, navy and air force equipped with state-of-the-art weaponry largely financed or supplied by the American taxpayer. Their blatantly illegal aggression is met with occasional small-arms fire and sporadic garden-shed rockets launch...

Hey Nikki Haley, don’t prostitute America!

Dear Editor, During 2016 U.S. Presidential election, the late billionaire Sheldon Adelson made $20 million contribution for Trump to move the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Now GOP Presidential candidate Nikki Haley is willing to go on her hands & knees for Jewish vote and money and by pledging to cut all US aid to foreign nations who are Israel-unfriendly, if she get elected. Tell Nikki Haley, America is not for sale! Mahmoud El-Yousseph

Scottish Information Commissioner to investigate Edinburgh City Council over FOI failure on Gaza twinning petition

The office of the Scottish Information Commissioner declared on 22 June that it would investigate the City of Edinburgh Council over its failure to adhere to Freedom of Information (FOI) Legislation on matters pertaining to the council’s Gaza twinning petition. The petitioner, Pete Gregson, had submitted an FOI request on 31March using the What do they know website, asking why his petition had been deleted from the council website; why the original hearing of June 2020 had been cancelled without explanation; why his subsequent attempts to get it debated were initially ignored; which Israeli body told the council to remove the item from the Policy Committee agenda on the 29March; why the council so readily agreed and what exactly had been said to them to make the...

The lies the Zionists tell

Pete Gregson writes: When Edinburgh City Council discussed twinning with Gaza in August 2022, there was a predictable storm of objections from Zionists whom are horrified at the idea. Through a Subject Access Request, the campaigner who lodged the Council petition, Pete Gregson, obtained the 32 emails the council had received opposing the bid (note there had been many thousands sent in support). Most Palestine campaigners will be familiar with the kind of claims being made: That twinning with Gaza would be a gift to Hamas; That poor Palestinians are innocent pawns being exploited by evil Hamas terrorists; That if only Hamas ceased fighting Israel, Gaza would flourish. Zionists wilfully ignored the fact that in a civic twinning with Gaza City, there would be no Hama...
