As far as the Chinese killing their own people, I ran across this in BION:

One Emperor sentenced 90% of the population of China to death before being overthrown, some time in the 1600s. This event literally marked the end of the Dynasty, but the BOIN cartoon does not indicate this.

One Emperor nearly totally exterminated the entire population of Szchwan (?) Province after accidentally sitting on a prickly plant found there. The time frame for this is unclear to me.

Anyway, Ripley drew both BION cartoons — and they are somewhat easily found from the 1931 Omnibus to the 3rd series. I was just not able to find them…
That said, China as a Republic is probably less inclined to kill its own people vs China as an Empire.

Open question: do the media in your country scare the shit out of you with the swine flu virus case? Laying out worst case scenarios and so on?

I had my feelings that Brazil was going to pop out as a World economic power. Thank God they are not bent on war as means to build capital. Instead, they work hard, save and produce.

I still don’t understand the practice of selling bonds. They make money, loan it and then sell bonds against the money?

IMF is raising money, I get it now. It’s a sham, what happened to all the free money from the US that Obama gave away, and other blood donors? I guess it all went to israel. They raise money, loan it out to people who can not pay it back and then go in for tangible assets to replace the invisible debt that was created out of thin air.

Is the IMF going to become a two tiered entity? An economic hitman for non-contributors, and an insurance or socailized risk for the contributors? Or has the whole world become 3rd world in the IMF’s eyes.

So the whole world knows that fiat money is make believe. Why would a country (Russia) have to borrow the stuff? Because someone else’s play money is more “valuable” than theirs?

On a side note. Which economic stimulus will happen first? Iran or Pakistan?

Another question to ask . . . what exactly does the IMF have as collateral? (Other than its alleged gold which I doubt it can offer without Congressional approval). It doesn’t have the ability to tax anyone nor to produce anything . . . but interest from loans. But these are short term bonds the IMF is issuing (1 – 2 years) and yet it will be lending it long . . . the very thing that caused Northern Rock, Hypo Real Estate and Iceland to collapse.

Palanteri,
Yes, very dubious isn’t it? You should check out the postings in the section further down on Max’s site where people put info re: the suspiciousnes of this flu pandemic. I particularly like Don (Joe bag O chickens) post where he surmises that the pig must have ate a bird and screwed a passed out hooker in order to produce a virus that is a combination of pig, bird and human.

I’m applying for a patent on the swine flu.

Stacy, Max, everybody,

I’m drunk. I’m so tired of bad news–though I favor it over unrealistic, rosy news.

I have a love song for you all. (Not mine per se, but one that I adore.) Listen to it and smile:

Let love rule!!!!

(just glad that this drinking binge is focused on love and not the misery of the global economy melting down.)

Actually although the IMF cant tax a nation i would wager they will be the ones who will be given our carbon taxes to pay for for newest bubble. I recall a document that said the money gained from the fraud that is global warming would be used to fund and capatalize a world bank, or somthing to that effect and as the IMF has taken that role i put 2 and 2 together.

I heard what you said about an armed up rising in USA. I think it will come to that, but it will either be good guys killing good guys, or good guys fighting thugs. The real thieves will just watching from safe havens, and they will take over once everyone runs out of bullets.
You said, hide a gun in the Bible. Well there is another good use of this book, “read it.” According to it the bankers do end up loosing along with all the thieves. You are a smart guy. Put your gun in a gun case and your eyes on the pages of Daniel and Revelation. The banksters have all the chips and appear to be winning, but the very greed that prpels them to make money will, in the end, be their demise.
Thank you for all the truth information. I will keep listening.

Bill
