  • The City of London

    By Larry Romanoff and posted with permission

    You may be surprised to learn that the city of London and the City of London are two very different things, related to each other mostly by historical accident and geographical proximity, and co-existing today in a rather complicated power system in which the City of London appears gloriously…

  • The Jews were busy in the 1930s

    By Larry Romanoff and posted with permission 

    This essay is an exercise in connecting dots, of bringing together apparently disparate events that are actually connected in some meaningful way, done in an attempt to give readers an opportunity to place world events in context and have an entire coherent picture emerge from those apparently separate elements.…

  • Your Chinese Apple

    By Larry Romanoff and posted with permission

    (Ed Note: This is much appreciated and leads to an understanding of the Foxconn issues in China, now used mercilessly for another and upgraded ‘China Bad’ campaign)

    I want to make it clear from the start that I have no quarrel with Apple products. I am not an Apple fan,…

  • Apple’s Rotten Core

    By Larry Romanoff and posted with permission

    Introduction

    A few years ago, China’s CCTV aired its annual Consumer Reports program in which one of the topics was the products of Apple, Inc. Naturally, the Western media trashed CCTV for having the gall to challenge anything American, accusing the TV station of being “a government mouthpiece” wanting to…

  • The Richest Man in the World

    By Larry Romanoff and posted with permission
    The purpose of this essay is threefold: (1) to bring to the attention of readers the existence of a long-standing conspiracy about the identification of “The Richest Man in the World”, (2) to dismiss from contention the current list of candidates, and (3) to document that a small number…

    Democracy, The Most Dangerous Religion — Part 8 – China’s Democracy Experiments

    I have written earlier that the multi-party electoral system (“democracy”) is the only form of government designed to be controlled by outsiders, naturally leaving it open to corruption and fraud. The Chinese, listening to the Americans,…

  • Democracy, The Most Dangerous Religion

    — Part 3 – Choosing Government Leaders

    by Larry Romanoff and posted with the author’s permission

    One of the greatest things about the United States of America is that it is truly a land of unlimited political opportunity, a country where a man with no education, training or experience, a man bereft of both intelligence and ability,…

  • Dominique Strauss-Kahn revisited

    By Larry Romanoff and posted with the author’s permission

     

    Introduction

    Dominique Strauss-Kahn (DSK) was a former minister in various French governments and most latterly the Managing Director of the IMF. In 2011 he was involved in a sexual scandal in New York, eventually exonerated but ruined nonetheless. This story is of vital importance in understanding and making…

  • Creativity, Entrepreneurship, and other American Myths — The Myth of American Competitive Supremacy (with Russian transcript)

    By Larry Romanoff and posted with the author’s permission

    Russian Transcript

    Americans boast incessantly about their competitiveness and the miracles of their predatory capitalist system, but on examination these claims appear to be mostly thoughtless jingoism that transmutes historical accidents into religion. If we examine the record, US companies have seldom been notably competitive. There is more…
