The poor unfortunate Haitians, I heard the news this morning on national radio, dreadful. What was equally dreadful was the presenter Aine Lawlor , who’s main interest in the story was that one of the buildings which survived had been built by an Irish property devleoper, talk about fucking clueless cunts, words alone cannot express how much I fucking despise that woman.

Haiti, like the US has overpopulation problems.

@ Bill – Population problems or problems with the distribution of wealth and resources as well as the utilization of those resources?
Somebody else mentioned population tonight on another site–seems that the suggestion is always that other countries need to de-populate, even though they are poor and it’s we in the US who use up more energy than anyone, and who allow corporations and the top 1% to destroy humanity at will. Count me in with those who see nothing practical, moral, or reasonable about the idea of killing off or starving millions of people in the name of de-population. The real problems will always lie at the top of the power pyramid . . . not to suggest that we should kill them off– a new class would just take their spot, just as a new class would take the place of the disposable humans at the bottom that some would like to sacrifice.

You have to be pragmatic about all this. The US, like Rome — has passed its ‘due by date’ — so like Rome it is doomed to have a population collapse.
Rome (the city), at the hight of the Empire — had about 1 millions in its metropolitan region. When the Huns and Visigoths were done, and the last Roman Emperor became a vassal … the city was reduced to just under 10,000.
As far as the unfair distribution of wealth a resources, all nations have these problems. States rise and fall on their ability to even out these issues and provide prosperity.
Needless to say, Haiti has for too long been a US colony — an abject part of the empire so to speak. As the US collapses Haiti may do better or worse depending on how the state evolves.
However, in this era most bets are on Cuba as far as any future Carribean empire forming …

The United Nations Stabilization Mission In Haiti (French: Mission des Nations Unies pour la stabilisation en Haïti), also known as MINUSTAH, an acronym of the French translation, is a United Nations peacekeeping mission in Haiti that has been in operation since 2004. The mission’s military component is led by the Brazilian Army. The force commander is Brazilian. The current UN mission is authorized until October 15, 2010.[1] As of May 2008, the force was composed of a total of 9,055 uniformed personnel which included 7,174 troops and 1,881 police, supported by an international civilian personnel, a local civilian staff and United Nations Volunteers.[2]

I was gonna post this the other day for one reason or anutha… but was too busy!!!
Fontella Bass – Rescue Me.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_RY1S5DiLs
@ Bill – I see things differently. There are approx. 1.6 billion people in the world who live on $1/day. Half of the world’s population–approx. 3 billion–live on $2 or less/day. Now we can say that those people live in poor countries, and at least they are making something, but what they’re making are starvation wages. Half of the people in the world are already modern-day slaves.
Knowing that, knowing that the West uses the majority of the world’s energy, and knowing the situation we’re in now re: climate change, we can conclude that the rest of the world simply can not rise to our standards of living, b/c the planet just cannot support it. So the question is: do we accept such logic, or do we consider ways to alter our consumption and change the way we use resources?
As far as the unfair distribution of wealth a resources, all nations have these problems. States rise and fall on their ability to even out these issues and provide prosperity.
Yes, all nations do, and the inequality that exists today in the US is reflected globally where we see income and wealth being concentrated more and more into the hands of the world’s top 1%. However, states don’t rise and fall on their ability to deal with the issues– most have their hands tied by trade agreements, treaties, and bankers. If we abolished the WTO, got rid of US farm subsidies, altered our trade agreements, forced the IMF and World Bank to discharge illegitimate debts, banned GMOs, etc.,then poorer countries would be in a better position to fight hunger and poverty internally. Fewer would die and more land would be needed to support crops for those non-dead peasants, but the people, unshackled, would be better able to adapt and figure out how to live sustainably and structure their economies. Many already know how, but they aren’t allowed to do it, because they’re landless and/or live in poor “export-led development” countries.
For industrialized countries, we all have our work cut out for us, because the income and wealth gaps are not sustainable and if we allow them to grow, we’re going to get caught in a vicious cycle where we keep dragging the global economy down. People will starve and die by the millions if we keep on the path we’re on. As it is, upwards of 30,000 kids die daily due to starvation. (More poverty info. along the left side of that link.) It’s completely unnecessary. Tackling world hunger would cost $30 billion. If we really wanted to promote liberty, democracy, and human rights, we would’ve spent the money on hunger instead of giving it to the financial criminals. And look at this–Obama is asking for $33 billion more for war, which only ever increases poverty.
Christ, these poor buggers, do they ever get a break? I’ve always wondered what the likes of Citigroup are up to there. It can’t be for altruistic reasons.

http://www.marketwatch.com/story/china-wealth-fund-official-talks-up-dollar-report-2010-01-12?reflink=MW_news_stmp
“Junming also was cited assaying the gold prices were inflated were too expensive for China to increase its bullion purchases for now.”
The speaker you linked completely ignores the sdr allotment made in 2009 and the voluntary trading necessary to create a liquid sdr market for which the gold accounting tallies were most probably linked. Sound money will not restart the securitization market upon which the US credit-based ponzi was and still is completely dependent. Basel banking mandates are also ignored by your speaker. No one has demonstrated that the central banks have taked physical possession of gold.
The Faber interview was senseless as well. The question about asset bubbles given by the interviewer seemed idiotic with the end of securitization looming.
I want to talk about covered bonds.

Yes, well. I asked that the link be posted concerning the isolated pathogen supposedly behind the pandemic flu, but was chastised by a certain ‘doctor’.
Seeing these images on embedded ABC from Afghanistan never ceases to amaze. American troops wandering through hills & valleys through the night on a mission to find weapons caches & ‘enemy fighters.’ Come day break, they’re under fire from local fighters who’ve probably been tracking them the whole time. The Americans call in an artillery strike and pull out rapidly. The words pointless & doomed never seemed so apt.
You have to be pragmatic about all this.
You? Who is You? The UN? Bill Stewart? Or the ‘unwashed masses’ in Haiti which Bill objects to vociferously?
I think all pro-cullers should start with themselves. I’m quite sure that by the time one reaches that level of arrogance(ignorance?) and selfishness, they must be in the top 10% of consumers of the world’s resources, via oversized homes, several cars, far too many clothes, shoes, tech gizmos that they’ll never use. So think how much good you would do the world and how much resources you would free up for the bottom 90% by culling yourself? Just an idea!
@Mep
“we can conclude that the rest of the world simply can not rise to our standards of living, b/c the planet just cannot support it”
I can unequivocally say that you have an incomplete picture in your comprehension of what the planet can in fact sustain. If you had said that;
‘the rest of the world simply can not rise to our standards of living using the current system and technologies of production’
you would have been more accurate. I might suggest you look further into what truly perpetuates world poverty – HINT: it’s heavily correlated to the stuff we discuss here on maxkeiser.com .

@Dan:
I got this far:
“G20 is just a bunch of people.”
HAHAHAHA
You do know the G20 structure? Or do you trust your speaker to analyze it for you with those words?
“The membership of the G-20 comprises:
the finance ministers and central bank governors of the G7, 12 other key countries, and the European Union Presidency (if not a G7 member)
the European Central Bank
the Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund
the Chairman of the IMF
the President of the World Bank
the Chairman of the Development Committee”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-20_major_economies
(Since when do ‘just a bunch of people’ need the kind of show and display of police state security that the g20 received in Pittsburgh? This IS the governing structure of our 21 century)
Can you say: bunch of bankers instead of bunch of people. Bankers that have made decisions for each of the G20 nations through the monopoly on currency run from the BIS and through the ‘treasury depts.’ (proxy for IMF).
His take on sdr is interesting. Where does he get the idea of ‘one world currency’? The sdr is exclusive to members of IMF: it is for trade and reserves. The endgame is an International Clearing Union where the reserves from each nation (oh, no opting out, they plan to colonize the world) (substitute region for nation) are in the kitty for the use of the colonizers. It’s that simple. No rhetoric: this is about global colonization under the auspices of the bank that ran the US and still does.
We get sound money (like Peruvian funny money) Abe Lincoln and some cheezy patriot song whilst delivering our children to the Molech war machine.
And who is behind those bankers at the IMF/G20? Those elite whose decisions are being considered to herald a utopia?
Listening to BBC World Service talking with people in Haiti via cell phone. It sounds absolutely dreadful. As a Californian, I can really empathize. A 7.0+ directly under any city would be a complete disaster (I rode out the Loma Prieta quake in my car.) Add into the mix poverty, poor building techniques and lack of earthquake building standards and… what a mess.
All I can say is if you can afford it, please send help these people. Doctors Without Boarders is my favorite emergency group. I am proud of Los Angeles, I saw stills of them readying a group of emergency workers and supplies last night. This in despite the fact they are (like all CA gov.) broke.

@ Patrick – ‘the rest of the world simply can not rise to our standards of living using the current system and technologies of production’ Indeed, that’s what I meant.

‘Haiti’s population of 9.6 million has a per capita income of about $560, with 54 percent of Haitians living on less than $1 a day and 78 percent on less than $2 daily, according to the World Bank’
Using the conspicuously inappropriate banker bonuses for humanitarian aid to Haiti at this time wouldnt hurt would it.

Based upon CNN’s reporting…
This Haitian earthquake is a massive natural disaster and will near equivalent to Katrina in damage and the Christmas Tsunami in death toll.
The human body can make it 2 days without fresh water and 4 days without much food.
The Western gov’t's need to EVAC their personnel in the next 24 hours prior to the devolution of the society into random chaos and violence.
The only hope is that the Dominican Republic can be used as a staging area and that roads exist between their country and Haiti to move massive supplies through the DomRepub to Haiti in the next 72 hours.
My guess is that if the hospitals in Port-au-Prince are really destroyed (which is probably true), mass graves will be needed to bury thousands per day in the next weeks.

2. Holding of US T-bonds and T-bills
3. Hospital and medical infrastructure

@DanV:
You never bore me! I didn’t get your take on the subject!
I don’t think harp is in this.
Katrina, maybe, if you have seen the scaler images.
Some earthquake predictors say the moon is the big pull.
So the “blue” moon last month is more likely.
Don’t get me wrong. I’d love to pin anything bad that happens on the government,
But it’s more likely G/S has a earthquake making device and they are going to buy Haiti and turn it into the old cuba.
Poor Haiti.
…the USA will probably nuke them now.
Former serious Republican presidential candidate, conservative movement luminary and national Christian leader Pat Robertson weighs in on the disaster in Haiti:
” And you know Kristi, something happened a long time ago in Haiti and people might not want to talk about it. They were under the heel of the French, uh you know Napoleon the third and whatever. And they got together and swore a pact to the Devil. They said we will serve you if you’ll get us free from the French. True Story. And so the Devil said “OK, it’s a deal.” And they kicked the French out. You know, the Haitians revolted and got themselves free. But ever since they have been cursed by one thing after the other, desperately poor. That island is Hispaniola is one island. It’s cut down the middle. On one side is Haiti, on the other side is the Dominican republic. Dominican Republic is prosperous, healthy, full of resorts, etc.. Haiti is in desperate poverty. Same island. Uh, they need to have, and we need to pray for them, a great turning to God and out of this tragedy. I’m optimistic something good may come”
needless to say Pat should bruxh up on this history
some history of Haiti……
It was the first independent nation in Latin America, the first post-colonial independent Black-led nation in the world, and the only nation whose independence was gained as part of a successful slave rebellion.
