    “…among male voters, support for Democratic candidates has gone from 46% in October to just 35% now.” –Gallup

    The movement away from the democrats has been entirely male. (Duh).

    “Permanent gold backwardation will trigger hyperdeflation ‘with the certainty of scientific law’. ” – NASOE

    You know, I’m not a hard money bug, but I cannot disagree with this statement. But there is a solution other than gold, it is, ‘calculability’, or the requirement for returns on credit issued at interest.

    Protests in Ukraine have highlighted the division between the country’s two main Orthodox churches. One has an independent streak and is protecting demonstrators from police. The other is subordinate to Moscow. …

    In the early hours of November 30, dramatic scenes played out before the monastery gates. A few hundred meters downhill, on the Maidan Nezalezhnosti (Independence Square), special police forces violently cleared a camp set up by opponents of the government. Hundreds of students were brutally beaten and chased into the surrounding streets. They found refuge at the monastery. Priests blocked the path of the baton-wielding police officers and did not let them through. …

    The monastery’s opposition role does not appear to be a coincidence. It was destroyed during the Soviet era and rebuilt in the 1990s. It belongs to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Kyiv Patriarchate. That church was founded after the independence of Ukraine and considers itself independent. But the Russian Orthodox Church has blocked it from gaining recognition as a part of the global Orthodoxy. The move was political, said Kyiv Patriarchate spokesman Archbishop Yevstratiy. “Russia wants to use the church to retain its influence over Ukraine.”

    Moscow’s schism

    Most believers in Ukraine belong to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate. It has its headquarters in the famous Kyiv Pechersk Lavra monastery on the steep right bank of the Dniper River. This church is subordinate to the Russian Patriarch. …

    The two-decade-long division in Ukrainian Orthodoxy is reflected in the attitude toward the current events. Where the Kyiv Patriarchate granted demonstrators protection from the police, its priests praying alongside hundreds of thousands of protesters on the Maidan, the Moscow-oriented Patriarchate is behaving differently.

    “Our priests may indeed go to the demonstrations, but only as citizens, and not as churchmen,” spokesman Grigori Kovalenko told DW. He denied, however, that this was due to instructions from Russia. “There is no influence on us from Moscow,” he said.

    THE LEFT: “FOOD SHORTAGES, MOB VIOLENCE, ARBITRARY EXECUTIONS”

    “The French Revolution was their chance to show what they could do when they got the power they sought. In contrast to what they promised — “liberty, equality, fraternity” — what they actually produced were food shortages, mob violence, and dictatorial powers that included arbitrary executions, extending even to their own leaders, such as Robespierre, who died under the guillotine.

    In the 20th century, the most sweeping vision of the Left — Communism — spread over vast regions of the world and encompassed well over a billion human beings. Of these, millions died of starvation in the Soviet Union under Stalin and tens of millions in China under Mao.” – Sowell
