SCOOP EXCLUSIVE: Charles Shaw Visits New Orleans For Scoop – Finds A Desperate City
- The St. Vincent’s guesthouse is a living metaphor for the city of New Orleans. The big, beautiful, bricked, French colonial structure on Magazine Street in what’s known as the Lower Garden District is a majestic presence. Wrapped in vines with an iron portico over the entrance forged in the traditional floral pattern that is characteristic of the Quarter, you are wowed and enticed by her beauty when you take her in for the first time. But step inside and the veneer suddenly drops and you find yourself unwittingly submitted to the hustle. For the interior of St. Vincent’s belies the soul of New Orleans: poor, black and desperate.

Money Laundering: Suzan Mazur - Accused Banker John Deuss & The Canterbury Tales
- The question is why has Dutch businessman John Deuss' offshore First Curacao International Bank (FCIB) been singled
out over the issue of VAT on mobile phone sales deposited at FCIB -- which mushroomed over the last two years from $60
million to billions of dollars before the bank was recently shut down -- when the international banking system as a
whole is compromised? See... Why Has John Deuss Offshore Bank Been Singled Out? [1]

Israel/OT: Genevieve Cora Fraser Takes A Second Look At Mel Gibson's Motivations
- For those who inhabit Tinseltown and its environs as Mel Gibson does, there’s one site that is as famous to locals as
Hollywood and Vine is to tourists - the Temple of the Arts in Beverly Hills. Located at the Wilshire Theater at 8440
Wilshire Blvd, the congregation led by Rabbi David Barron, though claiming solidarity with their brothers and sisters in
Israel, has been treated to a variety of speakers, including luminaries such as Hillary Rodham Clinton. See... Cora Fraser: Is Mel Gibson Pro-Middle Eastern? [1]
Eco-Economy: An Argentinean Economic Perspective On The Decline Of The USD
- Analysts the world over are starting to recognize the early warning signs of a gathering storm regarding the strength
of the international financial system in general, and the stability of the United States Dollar, in particular. This
essay provides an alternative view on this impending crisis, written from the viewpoint of an Argentine analyst whose
country has undergone recurrent monetary and financial crises over the past forty years, albeit on a domestic rather
than an international scale. See... Adrian Salbuchi: Death & Resurrection Of The $US [1]
