Most recent: 
The Greeks may have pioneered the Gyro / Euro / … but its the Kiwis that have pioneered the Meat Spaghetti:
Meat spaghetti – the new food fad?
– http://tvnz.co.nz/view/page/411319/1985924
An invention that could trick fussy children into eating meat while revolutionising the pasta market was accidentally created by an AgResearch scientist in Hamilton.
The country’s foremost pastoral research and development company has found a way to make meat spaghetti.
– http://tvnz.co.nz/view/news_business_story_skin/1985924
Picky children may soon be tricked into eating meat, thanks to an accidental discovery by Agresearch scientist Dr Mustafa Farouk.
He was investigating the binding strength of meat proteins when he found mutton or beef can be formed into long, colourful spaghetti-like strings.
“It tastes like meat and it can look like meat but we can actually change the composition of the product quite a lot so we can mask the meaty flavour,” Agresearch spokesman Mike North said.

And, the Global Finance Crisis has lead to job losses in the Mass Media in the Carribean:
http://www.cbc.bb/index.pl/article?id=5997743
A total of 40 media workers were laid off from the Caribbean Media Corporation and the Nation Corporation between December 2008 and March 2009.
And the Barbados Association of Journalists has welcomed the opening of two new media outlets.
President of the BAJ Amanda Lynch-Foster says a new radio station and digital newspaper are good sources of competition, which are needed in a modern media environment.
She says in light of the lay-offs, they have provided media workers with more career opportunities.
Where can i get a quick summary of how the Greece government spends? Is there a link to a statical breakdown? I am curious why they are broke as a joke.
http://www.spiegel.de/international/europe/0,1518,617915,00.html
DerSpiegel: that’s a disinterested source!
“In Greek there is no direct translation for the verb ‘save’ in a monetary sense. And that’s exactly how the Greeks live.”
Greece is forced to bow to German export market pressure and live within their domestic market. Then they are called ‘piigs’ by the Germans who are favored by the EU for exports. The basel mandates are killing the Greek domestic market: just like China:
““We have an opportunity now to make changes in global banking that make sure we keep all the good bits and eradicate the bad. For example, there is nothing wrong with young people borrowing money against their expected future income if they have genuinely good prospects, but we need to prevent the sort of irresponsible lending to people with poor credit ratings that led to the sub-prime mortgage crisis.
“What we mustn’t do is throw the baby out with the bathwater. The global banking system has helped increase living standards at a faster rate than at any point in history, and we are about to see the emergence of two-thirds of the world’s population into the developed world.””
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/comment/3155122/Global-financial-crisis-does-the-world-need-a-new-banking-policeman.html
Well, just term the ‘baby’ a ‘piig’ and you can drown it! Forget about the bathwater: basel bankers own the tub!
Sorry if this is a duplicate ~ Der Spiegel: Goldman Sachs helped the Greek government to mask the true extent of its deficit with the help of a derivatives deal that legally circumvented the EU Maastricht deficit rules. At some point the so-called cross currency swaps will mature, and swell the country’s already bloated deficit…
Human behavior is easily persuaded by central bank policy and regulatory action. Humans suffer at the hands of the criminal central bankers: not just the Fed Reserve Bank.
The monkey grinding the music likes the sound and the peanuts: he doesn’t realize he’s playing his own requiem.
@Stacey:
How can the country with the onus of being reserve currency have any savings?
The total debt should be considered: GDP is fallacious.
The deficits won’t matter anyway after the sdr-reweight/international clearing union. The standards for ratings will become completely subjective concerning factors which are decided upon by the men who pay Stiglitz.
The problematic now is the use of corrupt rating agencies to further neoliberal policies in countries whose people are colonized by corrupt politicos working for corrupt ‘international institutions’.
The men who own the playing board change the rules and the pieces to suit themselves whenever they like. The politicians know about the coming change to GDP and debt ratings: why don’t the people?
Krugman and Stiglitz insist we ‘need’ more stimulus. Even now! Yet they both derive their sustenance at the tables of those who are using the debt to enslave the people.
The rhetoric does not belie these mens’ actions. Their actions are apparent with minimal research.
France is favored: Greece is not. It has nothing to do with the French having money in the bank.
@frances – the thing that is missing from that chart is how much of that sovereign debt to GDP is financed by internal savings; Japan, for example, finances almost the entirety of its debt due to domestic savings (though this is about to come to a sudden end soon due to aging population and an exhaustion in savings); the US, which looks ‘safer’ on that chart has to finance more than half of its debt externally due to very low domestic savings; so the domestic savings has to be factored in when say comparing France, which has a high savings rate, to the UK which has a very low one.
Forbes has an interesting graph in the linked article: It’s the Total Debt Stupid:

“LONDON, Feb 9 (Reuters) – Fitch Ratings said on Tuesday it is critical that the Greek government delivers and is seen to be delivering on its fiscal austerity measures.
“It must also stand ready to enact further measures and set out in more detail its plans for 2011 and beyond if it is to secure confidence in the long run,” the ratings agency’s analyst Chris Pryce told a teleconference.”
Fitch is a Rothschild’s firm, no? Reuters is a Rothschild’s interest?
http://www.forbes.com/2009/12/22/greece-ratings-downgrade-markets-bonds-moodys.html
“Greece currently has the worst set of credit ratings in the 15-nation euro zone. While five countries have perfect, triple-A ratings from all three ratings agencies–Germany, France, Austria, the Netherlands and Finland–Greece currently has an A- rating from S&P and Fitch with negative outlooks, along with the A2 rating from Moody’s. The second worst ranked nation in the euro zone is Slovakia.”
France!!! Something’s wrong here….
“Moody’s re-rating of Greece’s sovereign debt marks the first time in weeks that Greece has been painted in a positive light. It’s the third ratings agency after Fitch and Standard & Poor’s to lower the country’s credit rating, but the least harsh of the three.”

“Teach speculators a lesson”
What’s the difference between a “speculator” and an “investor”?
Are we to judge the difference based upon “rating agency” label?
Or, are we to judge based upon fixed rate or variable rate notes?
2nd
Ratings agencies = ratings by bribe
1st!
Down goes the “G”?
Who’s next?
Are the ratings agencies criminal fronts for speculatory vultures? Who benefits?
http://www.cnbc.com/id/35309122
“A problem in Greece should not be causing a problem in Spain … the notion of contagion illustrates a weakness in standard economic models,” he said.
Stiglitz’s views on Greek crisis:
“But Stiglitz urged governments to intervene in markets to “teach speculators a lesson.”
“The speculators will always look for the weakest link. What they’re doing now is a version of the Hong Kong double play in 1997 /1998,” Stiglitz said.
“What Hong Kong did in response was to raise interest rates and intervene in the stock market. They burnt the speculators and Europe needs to do the same thing.”
And it’s not just the EU that has markets on tenterhooks. In recent months the ratings of both the U.S. and the UK have been questioned. But Stiglitz said he believes they deserve to keep their AAA rating, dismissing the notion of a default as absurd.
“The likelihood of a default is so small, particularly in the U.S., because all we do is print money to pay it back,” he said.”
http://www.forbes.com/feeds/afx/2008/11/14/afx5694007.html (Greece, 2008 position)
“Greece’s economic growth slowed to 3.1 percent year-on-year in the third quarter, showing it was weathering the global slowdown better than most of its euro zone peers thanks to continuing domestic consumption, data showed on Friday.
Greece has largely escaped the fallout of the credit crisis, as its banks had little exposure to toxic debt instruments. But after a decade of strong growth, the slowdown is still causing pain for Greece’s 11 million-strong population, one-fifth of whom live below the poverty line.”
all this talk of a german bailout of greece sounds like realpolitik is reasserting itself?
is germany the centre of europe again as it was under bismarck? would be interesting to see if germany decides to leave the eu behind and strike up its own hanseatic league to thwart the obvious negative influences of countries south of it.
@youri
I’m reminded of a really funny clip I saw here on last year…. posted by ME(P)… she didn’t post it to be funny … but, it did make me laugh, it was some small demo in the states ‘nice’ young students and middle aged mums etc… anyway the police moved in with cars and sirens blazing, jumped out with their billy clubs grabbed a few people out of the crowd…. and as they proceeded to pummel their heads and drag them off …. you could hear them crying “WHY are you hitting me”and all the other young men and the old ladies started following them with cries of” Why are YOU hitting them” “WHY are you breaking up our demo?” WHY, WHY, WHY… the police took no notice of them and just carried on cracking skulls… and threw the demonstrators in vans and drove off, huh… end of DEMO, huh, HILARIOUS!!!
“Greece has seen sharp downgrades of its sovereign debt ratings, and economists caution more cuts may be in store. As a consequence, Greece government bonds may lose their eligibility for the ECB’s refinancing operations later this year. To ease financial market tensions following the collapse of U.S. investment bank Lehman Brothers, the ECB in October 2008 lowered the credit-quality threshold for collateral to triple-B-minus from single-A-minus, with the exception of asset-backed securities, which require a higher rating. The arrangement is in place until the end of 2010. Greece’s sovereign debt is rated A2 by Moody’s Investors Service and triple-B-plus by Standard Poor’s Corp. and Fitch Ratings Inc.”

I put more links on this blog than you know words and probably can think of cause your proposal to go and google my brains out to find out what you think is an preposterous idea, but heee that’s just me thinking out loud.
@Youri
Brilliant… couldn’t have put it better… ‘I google my brains out.’
Palin(Soon to be mysteriously funded in a big way by some strange new found pretend tea partiers) is a plant and brainwasher – being cleverly handled and manipulated into a position to disrupt and confuse the tea partiers and to ensure there anger and frustration is mis-channelled deliberately! It seems that she, like Teflon Tonka Bliar wants to stir the public in preparation for another illegal war of aggression against the latest made up enemy member of Al – quackery IRAN!!
It seems the stage role of Obama is not delivering the mesmerised trance on the Amercan people and the NWO have significantly under estimated the ability of 40 years of dumb down techniques and programmes and control of MSM, so special weapon of mass confusion Palin is being drafted totally confuse everybody about everything! She is a prize actress who struggles to remember the script, but luckily can get by using her skilful memory tricks and smiling alot! Obama had better get to war first or special weapon Palin will be the back stop!
@Y’All
uh, no time to really think

The inclusion of the financial stability board and the Basel Banking Committee as ‘Institutional members’ prelates the transferral of accountablity from the sovereign states to criminal independent regulatory agencies.
Our leaders are working for the World Bank.
Remember the secrecy and the display of power at the Pittsburgh G20? This display remarks the criminal actions about to ensue through the auspices of the bankers.
They can run, but they can’t hide. They are known to men: their deeds seek them out. The blood of innocence will try them: time will deny them peace.

Donnow if you catched this one but this was posted by @Pez yesterday which again proves to me that there’s somtin more in the ether than we know of cause before I even had seen his post I was busy with a search on the Internet about animals and weather prediction bout the same time of this post.

Well, the EU law is only based on white men’s treaties (we know all about those) and this ruling that Trichet referred to concerning his nasty Greece decision:
“The development of law of the European Community has been largely moulded by the European Court of Justice (ECJ). In the landmark case of Van Gend en Loos in 1963, the ECJ ruled that the European Community, through the will of Member States expressed in the Treaty of Rome, “constitutes a new legal order of international law for the benefit of which the states have limited their sovereign rights albeit within limited fields.”"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_the_European_Union
If one carefully looks at the G20 ‘governance’ it is basically a coup by the bankers operating in sdr. The authority is derived from force and treaty: not precedent. It is unjust and tyrannical: deriving it’s foci through the administration of UN agencies.
We are being colonized: sold by our ‘elected leaders’ to the independent families and the Vatican behind the sdr moves.

@ Frances Snoot
Yes, things have definitely changed. Just posted it as a reference to show the thought processes and outlooks also change . At the moment everything on the financial frontier is transforming at a lightning pace. I cannot help but believe an alternative monetary system is already in place and waiting for the inviteable crash and collapse to be implemented. Its already being implanted into our minds.
I do not want to sound like Alex Jones, but this is obviously a planned demolition. No way guys like Geithner, Bernanke, and Summers do not realize what they are doing , and how their handy work is destroying the system.
Playing dum, for dummies. Thats exactly how they look it or even better Gods work.
G20 can go on an on even if the currencies hyperinflate: relying on their sdr unit. The governance of the g20 is through INDEPENDENT BANKS.

@Mother Earth
He’s a ignorant willful tool of the new world order. It ain’t a lie if you really believe in it. and he does. It is the end of cheap oil not of oil.
I still think we have to invest much more into alternative sun energy research cause I love nature too. That way we can keep the oil for quality products like fibers for instance. We something like Synthetic oil. This patent formula was giv’n by the NWO to Hitler during WOII. Rockefeller’s and Rotschild’s were behind WOII and if we don’t wake up will be behind WOIII. Sarah Palin wants to attack Iran for sure. Iranians are not like the corrupted jellyfish Iraqis, they will fight back forever so that’s gonna be helter skelter.
“The SDR is an international reserve asset created by the IMF in1969, and it is only used by governments and international institutions.”
Harry was right about the inclusion of the ECB as an ‘international institution’ with the G20 but only in the term international access to sdr (or suprasovereign): the G20 membership is reserved for those banks with access to sdr. It is arbitrary to place the ECB in a role of voice when each central banks of the euro zone already has access to voice through their central bank heads (Germany, Italy, France).
It gives “Europa” a leadership role.

@DepressionAlert:
Things have changed since 1996.
” The UN panel led by Stiglitz proposed for a new Special Drawing Rights (SDRs)-based reserve system.
“A new global reserve system — what may be viewed as a greatly expanded SDRs, with regular or cyclically adjusted emissions calibrated to the size of reserve accumulations, could contribute to global stability, economic strength and global equity,” the panel said in a report released on Thursday.
It said such a system “could contribute to global stability, economic strength, and global equity,” and could be “feasible, non-inflationary, and easily implemented.”"

On the SDR: Reserve Currencies and the Future of the International Monetary System (Written 1996)
Thus, neither the total supply nor the total demand for reserves is likely to change dramatically. There is no compelling argument for an SDR allocation to avert a pending global liquidity shortage or to remove an intrinsic instability in the reserve-supply process. There is a consistent argument for an SDR allocation to provide the resources needed to manage national financial crises with international implications–but there are more direct and desirable means of underwriting the relevant facility. European monetary unification, if and when it occurs, will have major implications for the demand and supply of reserves, but there is little reason to think that they will create a significant excess demand for international reserves or destabilize the reserve-supply process. In a future world with a single world currency or three relatively self-contained currency blocs floating against one another, the demand for international reserves would decline or disappear. While there would be a role for the SDR or an instrument like it if the IMF is the world central bank that issues the single world currency, any such scenario is exceedingly remote.

@Mother Earth
Whahahhaha!!!! Why don’t you listen very, very carefully to the interview I just posted here http://videoplayer.neos.nl/fd/index.php?item=1502 and stop talking out of your little neck hairs and get your act together.
You really think that Noe van Hulst, Secretary General of the International Energy Forum, doesn’t know what he’s talking about and you believe the Americans?
@dan valley …StraFor .. good article , thx.
@NicAbbot … I presume you are asking about German sentiment towards bailing out Greece ? The man-on-the-street has no idea about Greece … except that the Euro is nicknamed Teuro ( teuer = expensive ) !
i.e. prices have become expensive ( fiat euro ).
OTOH, m neighbour surprised me by mentioning that Germany is always paying ( to Brussels ), and will probably have to bail out Greece .. he is pretty annoyed.
FWIW
@NicAbbott
That’s why the elite wonna keep the price of oil low so that it isn’t profitable to get it out to keep the peak oil scam going.
Other reason is to bash alternative energy research which get bashed by the low oil prices. The Arabs in collusion with the Americans, on purpose, lowered the oil price every 4-5 years or so to wipe out any alternative energy research. This has been admitted. These people are criminals.
@Youri
Whahahhaha!!!! Why don’t you do some good and aknowledge peak oil credit and thus peak oil..
@Youri Carma
‘65% Of the oil remains in the grond’
Yeah, and that’s where it’ll stay! Of course there’s still 65% in the ground. When it takes more than a barrel of oil (in energy) to extract a barrel of oil then it’s game over. It’s not about how much is in the ground. How much can you get out and still make energy from. I reckon a 3 year old can understand this.
I don’t care to argue anymore. Earth is going to wipe away shitty human from it’s backside fairly soon now.
@Mother Earth
Yep, but that doesn’t matter, like said the guy is a selfish bastard burning fuel for his personal balloon pleasures. You could do so much good with money but not him.

What’s the feeling on the street in Germany? I was in Munich last week, they seemed pretty disgruntled with any bail-out talk down there.

“Richard Bransons says we have an oil crisis in five years.”
What does he know about it? It’s always funny to see that people who made some money think they know it all. We can conclude that the propaganda was very effective and a lot of people now really believe in this peak oil scam.
’65% Of the oil remains in the grond’ According to Noe van Hulst, Secretary General of the International Energy Forum,
“even The Children of our children will not see the day that we no longer have use of oil because most of it stays in the ground. ”

Love the nice blizzard photo. UK is bankrupt. Greece and the PIIGS are very useful to create diversion. And what are the Uk CDS doing ?

Greece is just a nice diversion.
USA COMA is indeed quite interesting to look at. You have to remind the readers that California is the 7th economy in the world and is completely bankrupt. Arnold is tihinking to do like in his film Total Recall; taxing the oxygen.
