The Typical Household, Now Worth a Third Less [Excerpts]

The inflation-adjusted net worth for the *typical* household was $87,992 in 2003.
Ten years later, it was only $56,335, or a 36 percent *decline*, according to a study financed by the Russell Sage Foundation.
Those are the figures for a household at the *median* point in the wealth distribution —-the level at which there are an equal number of households whose worth is higher and lower.
But during the same period, the net worth of wealthy households increased substantially.

Does Russia (And Humanity) Have A Future? [Excerpts]

The world has made no effort to hold Washington responsible for its destruction of Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and now Syria and Gaza. The world has not demanded that Washington stop murdering people in Pakistan and Yemen, countries with which Washington is not at war. The world looks the other way as Washington creates the US Africa Command. The world looks the other way as Washington sends deadly weapons to Israel with which to murder women and children in the Gaza Ghetto. Washington passes Senate and House Resolutions cheering on the Israeli murder of Palestinians.
Washington is accustomed to its free pass, granted by the world, to murder and to lie, and now is using it against Russia.
In a previous column I described the article in Foreign Affairs, the journal of the Washington foreign policy community, that makes a case that the US has such strategic advantage over Russia at this time that a “window of opportunity” exists for the US to remove Russia as a restraint on US hegemony with a preemptive nuclear attack.
It is almost certain that Obama is being told that President John F. Kennedy had this window of opportunity and did not use it, and that Obama must not let the opportunity pass a second time.
The view in Washington of the neoconservatives, who control the Obama regime, is that nuclear war is winnable. No expert opinion supports their assumption, but the neocons, not the experts, are in power.
Americans are an uninformed people distracted by their mounting personal and financial problems.

I should make it clear from the start that, obviously, there is no *direct* military threat to the sovereignty and territorial integrity of this country.
Primarily, the strategic balance of forces [nukes vs nukes] in the world guarantees this.
