		<description>@Cali Docton
And you ain&#039;t seen nothin as the country goes at the speed of light to a status of third world country and a banana republic. Suvival of the most vicious. Idealism didn&#039;t just die in the Soviet Union. It died also in the USA. You ain&#039;t seen nothin yet. Vicious people like Clinton Obama Bush want you even poorer. It&#039;s not about increasing global wealth across the world. It&#039;s about increasing their own personal wealth. Savage return to the mean and of the mean.</description>

		<description>I got something else to say to Catherine Austin Fitts.
Let&#039;s instead say that the small business is your local doctor&#039;s office.
We, doctors in private practice, we are stuck borrowing money at 6-7% which doubles the principal&#039;s costs in 10 years and basically leaves your doctors beholden to the drug companies, hospitals, and banks for survival.

This is not a good situation!

You can not have your objective medical opinions stuck in a situation where the doctor must subordinate decisions on your survival to the Bank Mafia.

Genocide has many names.  Whether it is the mafia in one ethnic community or another (Russian, Jewish, Italian, Japanese Yakuza, Chinese Triad, Irisch Catholics, etc etc etc), the eye-for-an-eye gang approach does not lead to increased security.

Making the doctors go out of business in one ethnic community or another KILLS in the long term (i.e. over years).

Instead of survival of the fittest. We have survival of the fraudulent!</description>

		<description>@Max - On the Edge!
You are dead on correct about the gang style financial terrorism that holds a person down while the rest pounce on the hapless poor victim while the robbers run their hands through the empty pockets of the victim.  These moronic financial terrorists claim whatever nationality suits their legal defense argument of the day.

One day their Canadian, the next their South African, then they&#039;re Israeli, then their Swiss, and then their American but in the Caymans or Mexican or whatever suits their need.

Meanwhile the blind stooges in the halls of the IRS, FBI, and whatever other alphabet soup agency can&#039;t see the manure in front of their face.  Somehow these bribed up regulators can&#039;t see, can&#039;t smell, and can&#039;t feel it even when the internet rubs their face in the fertilizer.</description>

Your&#039;e a couple of miles near the North Pole. Harper that cynical s.o.b. from the federal government  wanted to get rid of protesters. I gives you  a just idea what these Conservatives think about ordinary people. I am surprised that didn&#039;t hold their reunion on an Iceberg smack in the middle of nothing.

Keiser Report – Markets! Finance! Scandal! - 014
Keiser Report 

Foreign Investors want to walk away from US Bonds for same reasons American home owners want to walk away from their mortgages – THERE IS NO HIDING THE FACT THAT the contracts / investments are SUBSTANTIALLY WORTHLESS. 

If a growing number of American borrowers are free of paying mortgages because lenders can’t evidence their right to collect the debt - why would China and Russia continue to invest in the Bonds that represent them? 

Foreign Investors and American borrowers have the same beef with the banking, financial and mortgage establishments; the fraudulent activity in the financial industry created a “cloud on title” separating borrower from investor by eviscerating any form of a “chain of title”. 

This “smokescreen” or “cloud on title” is conveniently obscuring the real value of troubled assets and the large amount of red ink on the balance sheets of these insolvent financial institutions. Fortunately for astute homeowners, this fraudulent business model is the ticket to raise the issue of an overall lack standing on the part of what LivingLies has accurately described as “pretender lenders”. Ironically, the underlying issue being raised by borrowers in many foreclosure cases is simple – Where’s The Beef? 

As above so below 

The reckless policies illustrated by the cheap fabrication of money by the worlds Economic Leader - The Federal Reserve Bank - is being mirrored in the foreclosure/housing market by pretender lenders fabricating “chain of title” – “out of thin air” - to represent real money - thereby impugning the integrity of County Recorders, State &amp; Federal Courts and the entire legal system. 

Ultimately all forms of “money” – whether it’s a Federal Reserve note or Trustee’s Deed upon Sale - must be based upon something REAL. 

Profit motive created pressure that fueled an abandonment of ethics by real estate appraisers and the Wall Street Rating agencies. That pressure came from the high velocity of cheap money provided by Greenspan and Bernanke 0% interest rates that blew up a housing bubble that burst. And as it stands as a result of those policies, there is no chance for Americans to fulfill mortgage obligations without the ability to find a job. 

The 5-Point Economic Destruction Technique 

(1) This is the result of over-valued mortgage contracts empowered by a 0% interest rate Federal Reserve; 

(2) Implicitly guaranteed by GSE’s (Fannie, Freddie, Ginnie and MERS) 

(3) Peddled to borrowers and investors through a web of speculative housing, real estate appraisers, Mortgage servicers, Mortgage Brokers, and the Main Street Commercial Banks working in collusive silence with Wall Street Investment Banks and Rating Agencies who collectively sold toxic assets to foreign investors under the guise of Triple A-rated “Sovereign Debt”; 

(4) Yet took out Credit Default Swap insurance against them; 

(5) All at the same time. 

Now, the same U.S. Government, who (a) interfered with the housing market in the first place has (b) bailed out the same Banks who (c) knowingly and willfully financed and duped foreign investors into buying “Triple A-Rated” mortgage securities backed up by “stated incomes” that were (d) implicitly guaranteed by out-of-control Government Sponsored Enterprises. 

This has been loose-loose for the Borrower and Investor and Win-Win for the Banks and governments who supported &amp; rewarded these criminal economic policies. 

Formal slavery never ended - it just renegotiated its contract into the form of debt-slavery to take in everyone. 

The question is – what are borrowers and investors going to do about it?</description>

		<description>Bob Chapman posted the arical below----anyone heard about his yet??

Foreigners are buying less and less US dollar denominated assets, specifically Treasury and Agency bonds. As an example, Russia is buying Canadian dollar denominated assets. We ask how does the US fund its debt and its growing debt? The administration is planning for some sort of exchange of retirement funds for a government guaranteed annuity. That is so they can fund their enormous debt domestically as Japan has done for almost 20 years. Who would want to have a government guaranteed annuity from a bankrupt nation? It should also be noted that these retirement plans are still vastly under funded. What will happen if the Dow again revisits 6,600 and these funds’ assets again fall 40 percent? The collateral behind any annuity would be almost cut in half. We will have to see what the government comes up with but any kind of voluntary plan would in time become a mandatory plan. The funds may well be funneled to insurance companies, so they can take part of the action, but they will be buying Treasuries and Agencies with those funds, you can take that to the bank. One of the rumors floating about is that a new 5 percent tax will be foisted upon what is left of American taxpayers, in the form of forced savings, which would be in the form of an annuity. The need for funds to run the government is advancing by more than 10 percent a year, as government becomes bigger and bigger. We see no abatement in Marxist, socialist or fascists in government in their desire to spend to make government ever bigger.</description>

It should also be noted that these retirement plans are still vastly under funded. What will happen if the Dow again revisits 6,600 and these funds’ assets again fall 40 percent? The collateral behind any annuity would be almost cut in half. We will have to see what the government comes up with but any kind of voluntary plan would in time become a mandatory plan. The funds may well be funneled to insurance companies, so they can take part of the action, but they will be buying Treasuries and Agencies with those funds, you can take that to the bank. One of the rumors floating about is that a new 5 percent tax will be foisted upon what is left of American taxpayers, in the form of forced savings, which would be in the form of an annuity. The need for funds to run the government is advancing by more than 10 percent a year, as government becomes bigger and bigger. We see no abatement in Marxist, socialist or fascists in government in their desire to spend to make government ever bigger.</p>

Thanks for putting the complete introductory &#039;key of F&#039; song on the front, plus the trailing song at the end.  First time they&#039;ve existed in their entirety.   Really toe-tapping great stuff!
