Oil falls below $78 amid US crude supply jump -- Oil prices fell below $78 a barrel Wednesday after U.S. crude supplies unexpectedly rose, suggesting demand in the world's largest economy remains weak.
Two more reasons why investors shouldn't trust governments -- It's a reminder that as an investor, you can't trust governments. That's not cynicism speaking, it's just the way things are. A government's job is not to serve shareholders or bondholders in a specific company. Its main goal – democracy or dictatorship – is to stay in power for as long as possible. This goal doesn't always coincide with the best interests of the companies it runs, as Royal Bank of Scotland shareholders have just discovered.
Judge Napolitano says military hiding truth about Ft. Hood shooting -- Appearing on Alan Colmes radio show, Andrew Napolitano said the military is not telling us the truth about the Fort Hood shooting.
'Sunsetting' Provisions of Patriot Act Revives Privacy Debate -- Authority to Spy on Americans Unclear as Patriot Act Expires - Rushed into law by Congress just weeks after Sept. 11, 2001 three controversial provisions of the Patriot Act granting officials far-reaching surveillance and seizure powers in the name of national security, are due to expire this New Year's Eve.
Dov Zakheim and the 9/11 Conspiracy (The Smoking Gun) -- As the events of September 11, 2001 occurred, little was mentioned about these strange connections, and the possible motives and proximity of Dov Zakheim and his group. Since there was little physical evidence remaining after the events, investigators were left only with photographic and anecdotal evidence. NOTE: The original article was once located at http://www.thetruthseeker.co.uk/article.asp?ID=2775 but now gets a message saying: The requested article is currently suspended.
What Recovery? U.S. Consumers Getting "Dramatically Worse," Howard Davidowitz Says -- Davidowitz predicts "the noise will be taken out" about "strong" Black Friday sales in the coming weeks and a sobering reality will settle in: "People will look a stores closing and a rash of bankruptcies after Christmas. People will start to look at this and say ‘wow, this is terrible,'" he says.
Dr. Ron Paul Guest Editorial on The Daily Bell: Healthcare Freedom or Healthcare Bureaucracy? -- It is naive to think that recommendations by an authoritative government panel will never be used to deny services to people that want them. It is sad to think that people will be forced to spend their hard-earned money for a one-size fits all, government mandated healthcare delivery model, but then have to scrape together additional funds to pay out of pocket for healthcare they really want or need - that is, if the government allows them to at all. After all, the federal government currently forbids Medicare beneficiaries from spending their own money on services covered by Medicare, if for whatever reason they need to. Why wouldn't the government eventually apply these kinds of restrictions to everyone, if they are successful with this takeover? Beware of the supposed gifts offered to you by government, for when it gives you things with one hand, the other hand takes away your liberty and independence. (Thanks Jimm)!

Is your eco-label lying? -- Sure, it says it's green. But what's that really mean?
Contractors make UAV Ops happen -- Operational experience is driving operators to rethink the way they use unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
Forcibly adopted American Indians torn between cultures -- The 1978 Indian Child Welfare Act in an effort to preserve what was left of American Indian families.
