With the Dow Jones industrial average and other major market indexes once again falling sharply, it seems worth asking whether drops in stock prices can topple the economy. Did Oct. 28 and 29, 1929, plunge the economy into depression, and could this era's swooning Dow do the same?

President Bush Fudges America's Books
"Bush did not come clean in explaining the whole picture when he said "For the first time the accounting profession will be regulated by an independent board that will set clear standards to uphold the integrity of public audits and have the power to investigate abuses and discipline offenders." Does this mean when a CEO does not want to bow to the wishes of the international banking cartel that "charges" will be brought against him for his non-compliance?

Or does it mean what Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neil said in the July 25 Washington Post, when he warned several weeks ago that what was being set up would "let corporate crooks slide through enforcement cracks by giving 'the power to enforce securities law to an unaccountable private body'"? Lawrence Lindsey understands full well what is taking place when he explained on July 28 this humongous transfer of power: "the SEC has been elevated to the Federal Reserve."
