(24 June 1948 – 11 May 1949) was one of the first major international crises of the Cold War. During the multinational occupation of post-World War II Germany, the Soviet Union blocked the three Western powers' railroad and street access to the western sectors of Berlin that they had been controlling. Their aim was to force the western powers to allow the Soviet controlled regions to start supplying Berlin with food and fuel, thereby giving them nominal control over the entire city.
In response, the Western Allies formed the Berlin Airlift to supply the city over pre-arranged air corridors.
In 1993 Darleen Druyun was investigated for her involvement in a plan to speed up payments by the Air Force to McDonnell Douglas [1]. Although several other people involved were discharged, Druyun kept her position. In 2000 Druyun sent the resumes of her daughter, a recent college graduate, and her daughter's fiancé, a published PhD Aeronautical Engineer, to Boeing and both were hired.[2] Although this was a conflict of interest, it was not illegal. The investigation into her illegal activities was spearheaded by Senator John McCain

The cost of living in the U.S. probably fell in October by the most in almost sixty years, while manufacturing and homebuilding sank deeper into a recession, economists said before reports this week.
U.S. automobile manufacturers need to reorganize to ensure their viability, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said, as the head of the United Auto Workers called for government aid before President-elect Barack Obama takes office.
Listen carefully for these words and phrases as politicians get to work on an overhaul of U.S. financial regulation in the months ahead: ``duplicative,'' ``balkanized,'' and the twin ``quilts'' -- ``patchwork quilt'' and ``crazy quilt.''
If you hear lawmakers and pundits repeating these like mantras, you can be sure that the financial regulation facelift is off to a bad start.

The British and the German and the U.S. markets began to crash (again) in the Spring of 1921
The object of speculation at the time was the foreign exchange; the German Mark in Germany, the post-war boom, securities, ships, commodities and inventory along with existing and merged companies in Britain and merged companies in the U.S.
The "great U.S. Steel strike," the Centralia massacre and the "Palmer Raids" didn't help much, but the hair tonic business was going pretty well.
At this time the House of Windsor was still speaking German
Actually the crash started on Nov 03 1919, lasting 660 days with the beginning DJIA at 119.82 and ending at 63.90.. a total loss of 46.6%
Senator George Norris of Nebraska observed: "...the early 20s brought the American people to their knees in worship at the shrine of private business and industry.." which may account for why some consider it to be the greatest generation.
A "boom" period (roaring 20s) began in 1922
It is noteworthy that a boom period is usually a period of systemic book-cooking allowed by a "lack of regulation" (Teapot Dome) ala "the Animal House theory"
In the summer of 1923 President Harding "journeyed westward with him the Secretary of Commerce, Herbert Hoover. "If you knew of a great scandal in our administration" ... he asked Hoover.. "would you for the good of the country and the party expose it publicly, or would you bury it?"
Hoover's response: "Have you ever heard of the Chicago White Sox?"
Harding's reply: "I heard Britney was getting married."
Between 1924 and 1926 the object of speculation was the Franc and foreign bonds in NY
In April of 1924 Hitler entered Landsberg Prison as the last of the witness of the "Teapot Dome oil lease scandal" appeared in the hearings.
Hitler got out early - published Mein Kampf and F. Donald Coster, Phd bought McKesson (yeah - that McKesson) & Robbins with his bootlegged profits
During prohibition, milk of magnesia, cough syrup, and quinine were hot commodities
Ford outsourced automobile manufacturing to Germany in 1925 and Germany's economic system collapsed two years later (Germany's Black Friday)
The socialists and the Nazi's weren't too thrilled about this.
Then Brazil's economy collapsed (something about coffee?)
In 1928, the object of speculation in the U.S. was "private companies going public" (now known as IPOs)
Not a bad time to buy Motorola stock and Sam Insul's MiddleWest Utilities because by August of 1929 it is at $529 per share, GE is at $403 and AT&T is at $310
Jose Maria Escriva founded Opus Dei to prepare for the upcoming market debasement
Nowadays Legatus has taken over this responsibility and it is called a "Pilgrimage to Rome" which is a latin phrase for "money laundering"
"The" crash (which contrary to popular history was not the "big one" it was the 4th biggest one of the 20th century and it started on the third of September, 1929
Total days: 71
Starting DJIA: 381.17
Ending DJIA: 198.69
Total loss: 47.9%
By 1932 AT&T fell to $69.75 and GE fell to $8.50
Why does this sound familiar?
To cover up the market fraud, Arab terrorists murdered 60 Jews in Hebron and killed 45 Jews in Safed and a few dozen more in Palestine
History really does repeat itself
The 17th of April, 1930 was the start of the worst market crash of the 20th century lasting 813 days
Starting DJIA: 294.07
Ending DJIA: 41.22
Total loss: 86.0%
And the rest of the world's markets crashed within a year
Roosevelt and Senator Robert Wagner rigged the 3rd branch with a Judge named Crater and a few others to prepare for the upcoming phony corporate executive trials
Then Judge Crater disappeared and where he went.. only the Shadow Knows
7. Reagan and the 100th congress legalized kickbacks and bribery in the health care industry..
..not that that is a a bad thing.
But, as an investor it is worth thinking about.
Of course, the essence of control is fear. The fnords produced a whole population walking around in chronic low-grade emergency, tormented by ulcers, dizzy spells, nightmares, heart palpitations and all the other symptoms of too much adrenalin. All my left-wing arrogance and contempt for my countrymen melted, and I felt genuine pity. No wonder the poor bastards believe anything they're told, walk through pollution and overcrowding without complaining, watch their sons hauled off to endless wars and butchered, never protest, never fight back, never show much happiness or eroticism or curiosity or normal human emotion, live with perpetual tunnel vision, walk past a slum without seeing either the human misery it contains or the potential threat it poses to their security . . . Then I got a hunch, and turned quickly to the advertisements. It was as I expected: no fnords. That was part of the gimmick, too: only in consumption, endless consumption, could they escape the amorphous threat of the invisible fnords
Many regarded him as a saint, but Pope Stephen always tried to discourage that view. He ended every conversation with "I am a sinner, also," which became a habit with Stephenites: Father Starhawk, for instance, ended all his conversations that way, and also used it for the tag line of all his theological articles and his private correspondence.
It must be admitted, however, that the first Irish Pope did have his own brand of arrogance: He believed he was the best Latin stylist since Cicero, and was rather vain about his command of English, Italian, French, German, Spanish, Danish, and Hebrew, also. He was also convinced that he was a greater psychologist than James or Jung, and it was only when their names were mentioned that a tinge of uncharitable sarcasm would enter his speech.
Pope Stephen, in fact, had a habit of listening far more than he spoke, which led many to regard him as a bit aloof. Actually, he spoke little because he was so busy observing. This passion for studying other human beings had gradually turned him from a disputatious young intellectual into an almost pathologically sensitive middle-aged man, because the more he observed people, the more he liked them, and the more he liked them, the less able he was to bear seeing or hearing of injustice to anyone anywhere.
On one occasion a learned and erudite French Cardinal said to the Pope, referring to the steady parade of visitors to the Vatican, "You must find most of these nonentities profoundly boring." He was making the usual mistake of interpreting the Pope's long silence as a sign of ennui.
"But-there are no bores," Stephen said, shocked.
"You are being paradoxical," the Cardinal chided.
"Not at all," the Pope said dogmatically. "I have never met a boring human being."
It was the only time anybody ever heard him pontificate.
"The history of consciousness is a history of words," Joyce said immediately. "Shelley was justified in his bloody unbearable arrogance, when he wrote that poets were the unacknowledged legislators of the world. Those whose words make new metaphors that sink into the public consciousness, create new ways of knowing ourselves and others."
"I know what you're thinking," Babcock said. "As soon as Jones spoke it occurred to me, also. I had been so shocked by the seeming dematerialization, and so intimidated by the Baron's arrogant manner, that my mind had virtually ceased functioning for a while there. But, of course, if there were trickery involved, the Baron would have to be an accomplice."
