@Stacy –”Chelsea in the morning” or is it Paris?? Well yes in the US BOP there are several ‘medical facilities’ in place to handle prisoner medical/surgical operations and to a degree elderly care….One in Rochester MN, and another in Fort Worth TX comes to mind…You might remember the late John Gotti died in prison of cancer..he was in one or the other facilities when he passed..Though I am not a ‘fan’ of organized crime ( I pay my taxes annually!!!HA!HA!! to the real ongoing criminal: the IRS), one has to look back to the recent past and think hard of the types of crimes we accepted as a people as genuine crimes with nostalgia!! As Catherine Austin Fitts has previously said: “The crime that pays in the crime that stays”…Looking forward to her being On the Edge…regards, Richard@lattitude30N

@Dedo – yes taxpayer finances prisons too, so that story is a non-story really; I believe it is actually more expensive to take care of old people in prisons because they have to create special facilities for this . . . there is a problem with this in the US where 100 year type sentences are the norm, even stealing a slice of pizza can get you a couple decades; so the US prison system is now dealing with the results of this long sentence policy that started under Reagan; lots of old people in diapers who need to be carried from cell to their one hour outside cell sort of thing.

I am student of economy. I listen to ur shows its fantastic. I have lots of friends they are not a student of economics and i talk to many people here in united states and they are so unaware the coming problems and i know some people who have lost job and they are so frustrated. I try to explain them how we get in this mess. Banks have WIN WIN situation but some one is goin to loose is Common people. Government spends money like a newly married bride on honeymoon. They think Chinese , russian and saudis are Fool and keep on buyin Treasury debts.

@bzmoore … “So the IMF bonds is/are gold backed?”

Don’t Panic! IMF to issue bonds – in SDRs

As I said, possibly the beginning of the end for the US$ , i.e. the first step towards a OneWorld currency ?

Did we see a convergence of assasination attempts on that Air France flight?

Didn’t we see a video saying Goldman Sachs allowed Saudi Arabia to double the price of its oil in return for holding the proceeds many years ago? What about the manipulated oil price last year. It hasn’t been a real market for a long time.

‘Terrorist suspects were on doomed Air France plane’ – now that’s what I call waterboarding. Our plods just flush your head down the loo.

@juergenwald: The Saudi’s have for some time ( post the $147.00 speculative crude oil price of yore)…always said that they require a $70.00 barrel price to sustain their economy…even when the price went to $35.00 a barrel recently they maintained that was their intention…So they have brought that price to fold…any surprises??? as always, Richard@lattitude30N

This is worthy for submission to Ripley’s Believe It Or Not –
as it fits into the “you just can’t win” category of stuff that Ripley featured a lot during the hight of his career 1925-1949….

Italian who missed fatal Air France flight dies in car crash

http://en.rian.ru/world/20090610/155219163.html

MOSCOW, June 10 (RIA Novosti) – An Italian woman who arrived late for the Air France plane flight that crashed in the Atlantic last week, killing all 228 on board, has died in a car accident, Italy’s ANSA news agency reported.

Johanna Ganthaler, a pensioner from the Bolzano-Bozen Province (South Tyrol), and her husband Kurt, were vacationing in Brazil and missed Air France flight 447 from Rio de Janeiro to Paris on June 1. The couple took a flight to Europe later that day.

The car veered off the road near Kufstein, Austria, killing Johanna.

Isn’t the move towards the IMF as the Central Bank of the World?
I am hearing – Not enough gold to back a world currency – if that is the plan (I think they call it the End Game. Sounds ominous).
Who the hell runs the IMF anyway? The internationalists!?
Is it Alan Greenspan and other retired failures.

@Phil

I get it. But the demise of the USD is not enough to purge the global economy. The fiat currency system needs to fold, and as long as anybody takes IMF bonds seriously it hasn’t.

@scott, Good posts!
