Tough luv with these cuts, people will get a reality check. More of this to come as the empty coffers are exposed. It sucks, but what is the alternative … free lunches are running out.

Hey ONE million unemployed not counted by the BIS. Expect a “spectacular” “reduction” in unemployment.

Niall Ferguson.. If you had a goodly chunk of all the world’s wealth and you wanted to hire an historian to delve into your private doings.. whom would you hire? The Rothschilds hired Niall Ferguson.

So, oddly enough, Ferguson says the crash wasn’t caused by the bankers after all (ie., not resulting from the deregulating frenzy imposed by the libertarian cult’s uebermensch of the moment, Ronald Reagan) but by.. hmm.. butterflies in the Amazon? A fractal snowflake in Siberia? Ah no.. cranky monetary policies of the Fed. That’s it. That’s the ticket. It’s the Fed. Everyone hates the Fed. That’ll do nicely. Especially since most people think the Fed is some part of the US government. Any everyone hates the government. So.. perfect. But whoever/whatever it was.. it wasn’t the bankers. Especially.. it wasn’t the City of London bankes.. Especially it wasn’t Redshield. Unh-unh. No sir-ee. Nope. No way. Butterflies.

Rescuers dig for Chile quake survivors; looting erupts
http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSN2818745820100228

In the hard-hit city of Concepcion, about 100 people were feared trapped in a ruined apartment building and police used tear gas and water cannons to disperse a crowd of looters carrying off food and electrical appliances from a supermarket.
“People have gone days without eating,” Orlando Salazar said. “The only option is to come here and get stuff for ourselves.”

Empires on the Edge of Chaos By Niall Ferguson
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article24874.htm

“Summary: – Imperial collapse may come much more suddenly than many historians imagine. A combination of fiscal deficits and military overstretch suggests that the United States may be the next empire on the precipice.”

“CAMPAIGN FOR STATE BANKS”
time to END THE FED and big government..Ron Paul bill HR 1207 to audit the fed will do nothing,as the federal reserve lawyers will cook the books and make everything look just dandy..a waste of time..in fact I would bet the fed lawyers are fudging the accounting books right now and working on it right now..the fed must be ABOLISHED,and it can be done w/o nary a bill to get rid of it..with this new state banking money system,the fed will die on its own accord..state run banks ARE the solution..a new interest free paper currency issued in each of the 50 states possibly backed by silver,[NO GOLD] we had our money backed by gold in 1929 and the1930’s..did it stop the great depression? NO!
[ although gold would still retain a value16 times greater than silver or thereabouts] with each state making their own paper notes backed by silver[ex: $20 Texas silver note..under that "payable to the bearer on demand $20[ in 90% silver coin or 20-.999 silver dollars],and all 50 state paper notes would be accepted in every state and abroad..having 50 different notes for the 50 states would make it extremely difficult for the banksters to take back control of the U.S. money system again.. a dollar would be 31.1 grams of silver[ONE OUNCE] per the constitution..change for the new paper notes would be pre- 1965 90% silver again[only 90% silver with 10% copper is hard enough to take the day to day pounding/ movement/exchanging and hold up],and 100% copper again for pennies..a state run interest free loan banking system run by the people.. for the people.. there would be only a small administrative fee/ cost to borrow money,so the bank can pay its employees and make a HONEST profit..just like any other business.. no more credit/debt based,parasitic fraudulent money.. the parasitic debt based federal reserve money system will simply dry up and vanish,as it is no longer needed, and the fed can have their phony federal reserve DEBT notes back as they are traded in for the new state notes..[a trade in value to be decided at a later date] the federal government will go back to being a small limited government from the bloated pig it is today as per the constitution..the states and the sheriff in each county within the state will have the real power as per the constitution..this system CAN be implemented and WILL work.[N.Dakota has it and proves it can work].as the new money is circulated into the system ,we will begin to see manufacturing return..new plants can be built..old plants can be modernized..we can start making quality products again and start taking America back..innovation will return..MADE IN THE U.S.A. will mean quality again all around the world..the endless wars will stop as the soldiers are brought home from bases around the world and those bases are shut down and the military soldiers are used to protect OUR own borders..the big mega corporations will be forced to leave the country for countries with corrupt central banking systems like the one we have now.. we are in the process of getting online petitions set up for everyone to sign @ WEB OF DEBT.com..Ellen Brown’s website..you simply locate your state and sign that states petition for a state banking/money system
and then the petitions will be presented to the state legislature to be put on the state ballot for vote,or possibly put up for a special election depending on that states election laws..everything will be tweaked as needed as we move forward here with state banking in all 50 states..join the CAMPAIGN FOR STATE BANKS @ WEB OF DEBT.COM [Ellen Brown] and help us spread the word!

Any day, week (or year) — all the Governmental, Private and Public (ie: Social Security) will be either confiscated or simply go belly up — if hyperinflation does not end up doing the confiscation in the end…
