@ Phil – My friend is finishing up graduate school and was commenting on her fathers’ pension (don’t remember what he did for employment). Her sense was that pensions were still okay for most people . . . then again, she doesn’t get to spend too much time reading anything that’s not related to her studies.

Today’s my birthday, hurraaay!! …on friday the 13th….
Last night I re-read chapter 32 of Crossing the Rubicon titled ‘Ladies and Gentlemen of the Jury.’
“…..it is my belief that sometime during the period between late 1998 and early 2000, as certain elites became aware of the pending calamity of peak oil…. The CIA is Wall Street.

Alarms started going off…..it was time for the major players to cash out….Dick Cheney and the neo-cons stepped up with a plan…their next task was to find out how much time there was before things started collapsing behind energy prices and dwindling supply. The oil books were as the Enron books. How much oil was there really. Where was it? Who owned it? How long before the wheels started coming off? …..This would explain the urgency with which the Bush administration convened the National Energy Policy Development Group – under Dick Cheney..”
The National Inflation Association is pleased to announce that it has started the production of a new documentary about inflation and the upcoming collapse of the U.S. dollar. This will be a sequel to NIA’s critically acclaimed ‘Hyperinflation Nation’ which has been viewed over 293,000 times since June 28th.
The anticipated release of the new documentary is late-November/early-December and NIA will be announcing the name of the documentary in the coming weeks. It will be approximately 30 minutes long and available for the public to view for free on the video page of http://inflation.us.
Since the release of ‘Hyperinflation Nation’, which warned Americans of the imminent collapse of the U.S. dollar and the need to buy gold and silver, gold prices have risen from $925 per ounce to a new all time high on Wednesday of $1,119.10 per ounce while silver prices have risen from $14 per ounce to nearly $18 per ounce. Meanwhile, the U.S. dollar index has declined to a 15-month low of 74.77.
The rising price of precious metals combined with the falling U.S. dollar is a symptom of the massive monetary inflation being created by the Federal Reserve. By holding interest rates artificially low at practically 0% for nearly one full year, the Federal Reserve has created the illusion that the U.S. economy is recovering. NIA’s new documentary will expose how there is in fact no economic recovery and how the Federal Reserve is setting up a disaster down the road that will make the October 2008-March 2009 financial collapse look like a walk in the park.
@Mep … “Also learned that German pensions seem to be in good shape still–”
LOL … then she has no idea.
The state pension-system is currently living from hand-to-mouth, i.e. money-in this month, all paid out this month… i.e. no reserves. The politician Norbert Blum became a laughing stock with his phrase “Your pension is safe” some 10 years ago. Your friend is probably an employee of a Krankenkasse ( State Servant for Med. Insurance ) is my guess … “their” pensions are possibly safe !
JMHO FWIW
LOL !
I asked my friend in Germany if the Germans hate us for wrecking the global economy. She said “no, they’re psyched that you voted for Obama.” She also said that a friend of hers traveled to the states recently and was shocked to learn that people here almost have to have credit cards to live. Her friend had trouble even finding a hotel, b/c they didn’t want to accept cash (they want credit so they know who to bill if anything gets damaged in the rooms). Also learned that German pensions seem to be in good shape still–retirees are able to live 80% off their pensions, 20% off personal savings. She said younger Germans have been warned, though, that they should plan for 50%, 50% for their own retirements.
