As for the European elites, it all comes down to which 'scum' is on the menu. Hear this: Massive suspicion of fraud report (funding worth £100 million a year) won't be published, say Euro-MPs. Another example is that of fund manager John Paulson who cashed up to $4 billion speculating against the housing bubble and whose adviser was no other than Sir Alan Greenspan. By telling the Gulf Sates to drop dollar, which game is the Maestro playing exactly? Since Greenspan will be remembered as the engineer of the Great Fall of America, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York doesn't deserve a "presumptive triple-A" but a'mid-grade junk' credit quality instead. Do you agree? Have 'they' never heard of the Law Of Diminishing Returns? Seven years later, in gold terms today, the market is down more than 70 per cent from its peak in the year 2000, acknowledges Mark Farber, known as Dr Doom. Bernanke policy to 'Destroy' U.S. Dollar, he concluded. Dr Doom should be trusted and here is why: as of 03/07, The Federal Reserve on its website announced two initiatives to address heightened liquidity pressures in term funding market; considering that the nonborrowed reserves went negative one month ago or so, it looks like the panic mode is now a step closer. But for the Dr Doom crowd the game is over: The Fed's rescue attempt has failed. In his article titled 'The Upcoming Financial Pandemic', Roubini explains how the contagion will spread. Out if curiosity, did you read in the press about this 'Home Owners' Loan Corporation ? I do not wish you to freak out, but you ought to know that The HOLC was part of the Home Owner's Refinancing Act, a Franklin D. Roosevelt New Deal agency established in 1933... during the Great Depression. So what?, you ask. It is a plan that Congress might resurrect (NYTimes 02/24), upon the advice of former Federal Reserve Vice Chairman Alan Blinder. We're on the brink of a (world) depression! Irony or cynicism, you decide: the guardian.uk, recently said that bank crises 'increase rate of heart attacks'.
True liberals, in the classic sense, refute government intervention. They have nothing in common with 'modern day liberals'. The latter don't seem to grasp that their altruism is highly inimical to their professed belief in liberty, Ben O'Neill asserts. He asks us to bear in mind that some of the largest Western charitable organizations were founded in the 19th century, at a time when the market was a lot free-er. Since then the expansion of the welfare programs has parasited the meaning of charity and damaged the charitable ethic. And as a matter of fact, he's absolutely right. Here is a compelling example: under the pretense of addressing global warming, the biofuel market has caused commodities to skyrocket (surging wheat, corn prices) all of which provoked riots around the globe, particularly in poorer countries. As a result, Zeigler, the UN Special Rapporteur on the right to food, told reporters in New York the following: It is a crime against humanity to convert agricultural productivesoil into soil which produces food stuff that will be burned into biofuel All causes of hunger are man-made, it's a problem of access, not overpopulation or underproduction, and can be changed by human decision That you believe in global warming or not shouldn't be the focus here, but its link to pollution and overconsumerism, hence superdebtism should be. So, now we are on the brink of man-made food shortages because we simply consumed our way to happiness, is that right? If the Elites were so smart, how does it comes that our brilliant politicians have let this consumerism grow out of control? For the sake of their 'own musty pulp economics'? Although the anger at the Financial Elites is rising, it is not enough. The battle that has to take place must start intellectually, the understanding the inherent dangers of 'involuntary servitude' and 'legalized coercion'. The time has come to go back to school - self-teaching and home-schooling - to rediscover what the Founding Fathers truly meant when drafting the U.S Constitution.
