Rich:
I think John Perkins confessed long ago for all his dirty deeds. He’s the one insider who came out of the closet.

His advice for Iceland is the antidote for the debt disease/cancer. Rise Up.

With regards to the whole China vs. US thing, I wote an article last year titled "The International Banker's China Syndrome" where I state that the Wall St. bankers have conspired to transfer economic power from the US to China. Hopefully both of you, Stacy and Max, will have a chance to take a look at it. It's also curious to me that Max decided to name his show the Oracle, since my web site is called Future News Today. BTW, my first encounter with Max was the Aljazeera appearance where he went over the top and called for a fatwa against "Hank" Paulson. I'm sure that's the one that Max was referring to that got him kicked off Aljazeera. Well I liked it so much that I wrote an article titled "Wall Street's gigantic Ponzi scheme" which featured the Youtube clip. And mind you this was before the Madoff revelations which turned "Ponzi scheme" into a cliche.

Speaking of Goldman-Sachs, ZeroHedge blog has an interesting story on them. They seem to have made a sudden big play in the Interest Rate Derivatives market:

While I don’t understand that whole article, this graph is pretty striking.

Could they be betting big that interest rates will go up, which as I understand would be inevitable if China, etc stop financing US debt? Any interpretation Max & Stacy?

Have you seen the recent youtube videos of John Perkins (Economic Hit Man) where he is in Iceland giving tv interviews and university lectures urging the Icelanders to reject the IMF loans or loan conditions. I couldn’t ’smell the rat’ even though I was watching him very closely. Apparently Iceland is the first ‘Developed Nation’ to find themselves in this position and Perkins seemed to be genuinely trying to help the Icelanders understand their predicament. But once an ‘economic hit man’; always an ‘economic hit man’, eh (canadian eh = ?).

MAX/STACY regarding max's comment in response to that short uni thing i posted here: check out the concept of the 'Noosphere' (if you haven't already) as developed by both Vladimir Vernadsky and Teilhard de Chardin. Thought provoking.

I just watched a Jim Rodgers interview on Bloomberg and he said, right now, he would rather have oil than gold. He cites that the IMF is selling a lot of gold soon- I don’t understand, is the IMF devaluing itself?
