Here is an old sanskrit saying pointing that most of our bankers and politicians are solidly in the last category - and we trust them. We should look at the mirror and think! He who knows and knows that he knows, is a sage; follow him He who knows not and knows that he knows not, is a seeker, teach him He who knows and knows not that he knows, is asleep; wake him He who knows not and knows not that he knows not, is a fool; shun him THE FORUM Tweet HOME USA must eliminate the Corporate Income Tax to avoid becoming a Poor third rate Nation (August 31, 2010)The outcome is a new form of capitalism that is much better for all parties, the wealthy, the poor and everybody between. To get there we should immediately double the income taxes for the 1% of the richest elite in the USA, and to remedy we must eliminate the corporate income tax! At the end this is a zero sum game for this 1% of the richest elite. GOP helped 1% of the richest Americas to ship the US manufacturing jobs overseas - is this their Patriotism? (August 28, 2010) Why did GOP kill the American dream? Who can answer this? Our GOP bullied and perhaps even bribed the Congress to make beneficial laws for the corporations to relocate their production facilities to any foreign country they saw fit. GOP knew perfectly well that most of these corporations are de facto controlled by this same 1% of the richest people in the USA... Russia to launch Iran’s first nuclear power plant (August 13, 2010) Russia says it will launch Iran's nuclear power plant in Bushehr next week. The Russian nuclear agency Rosatom, which is building the facility in Bushehr, announced that engineers will start loading the reactor with fuel on August 21, under strict control. A Russian delegation, headed by Rosatom Director General Sergey Kiriyenko, will attend the launch ceremony. Let The Physicists Fix The Economy (August 12, 2010) This thought was in a letter to FT on August 12, 2010 from Rod Dowler, London, UK. We totally agree what he said and added a twist. At the present level of the economic discussions even most graduate engineers could perform miracles. Bill Clinton - Did Our President Betray The People? (August 9, 2010) Did President Bill Clinton know what he was doing when he dismantled one of the major achivements of President Roosevelt, the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933. This was crafted to prevent the 1929 crash from ever happening again. Was he asleep in the rudder of the country or was he just a fool? Is Central Asia close to chaos due to US efforts? (August 4, 2010) A fresh viewpoint on how the US is destabilizing Central Asia by means of drug trafficking, disintegrating Kyrgyzstan and putting pressure on Iran, shared Semyon Bagdasarov, member of the Russian State Duma’s International Affairs Committee. The Israelis are admired for their technology and innovative nature - why one academic in every four in Israel heads for America? (August 4, 2010) This is a good question and the facts are on the ground appear support it. This special inventiveness supports also Judaism and has made many converted to believing that the Jews / Zionists are a special breed sanctioned by the God. However, when this righteous God is the same God as the Christians and Muslims believe, why would this be the case? We Need A Public Bank to Every State of The Union (August 3, 2010) Public banking has a long history in the United States despite being challenged by the private banking cartel at every turn. Here's a brief history of the battle and a call to action. The enclosed video clip tells how the European banking Empires have manged to conrol it all. Why is our military openly threatening China with cruise missiles? (Jujy 12, 2010) "Three of the largest submarines of the US Seventh Fleet surfaced in Asia-Pacific ports last week, the South China Morning Post reported Monday [July 5]. The appearance of the USS Michigan in Pusan, South Korea, the USS Ohio in Subic Bay, the Philippines, and the USS Florida in the strategic Indian Ocean outpost of Diego Garcia was a show of force not seen since the end of the Cold War, the paper said, adding that the position of those three ports looks like a siege of China." The free to move slaves of the USA... (June 30, 2010) Why is it that the economists always congregate around the wrong trees? Is it because economy is not a real science but rather a religion as was claimed by the US Secretary of Treasury, Paul O'Neill. former CEO of Alcoa, a highly profitable largest Aluminum company of that time. Mr. O'Neill served under President George W. Bush over the transition period and the beginning of his first term at reigns of the USA. We the people of the World remain as slaves until we cut off the shackles of the US$ 615 Trillion derivatives game created by the Anglo-US-Dutch banking empire! (June 25, 2010) With ever lower public education the Anglo-US-Dutch banking empire was finally able to create the derivatives business to a totally new level. Originally derivatives were created thousands of years ago to secure stabile food prices to the growing population centers... Swiss Central Bank Saves EU... (June 10, 2010) ECB was paralyzed when the UK and US banking empires organized a run down of Euro using Greece as the reason to secure their invisible printing press in high gear spewing out US dollars - the only reserve currency of the world. Do we understand the magnitude of the BP oil spill on Gulf? (May 30, 2010) When compared to the USA and it's surface area of 9,826,675 sq km the spill would cover 18% of it or virtually 100% of all arable land in the USA. In comparison California, Oregon and Washington together cover 863,122 square kilometers. When measured by the thickness of a newspaper page this spill would have covered these three Western States already more than twice. US Stock markets are rigged and controlled by Financial Criminals - judge Yourself (May 21, 2010) What a computer can hide, another can bring back to surface! We just for fun plotted the price of DUG (Proshares Ultra Short Oil & gas), one of the reverse oil ETF's over the period of the last three days, minute by minute against the prices of some related and unrelated stocks (see Graphs at the end): Greece debt financing pack is a classic example of State Communism or Hidden Fascism to buy time - maybe it went unnoticed but the USA just solved exactly this same crisis by using FED (May 14, 2010) Humans avoid changes. The life in the Mediterranean countries has always been easier than in the North. This worked fine as long as these countries had their own currencies. The gradual loss in the value of these currencies did not register in the minds of their populations. This kept the people from the North happy while spending their summer vacations in the South. Of course the people of the South noticed this and started settling with a little higher pay raises each year. Still the even lower exchange rates kept the people from the North coming. Can a tax system be fair? (Apr 25, 2010) So far it is not found in any democracy, oligarchy, fascism, or even communism. The best working democracy we know is in Switzerland which has only a part time government and all it's decisions can be turned over by referendums. It looks strange on the surface but it actually responds best to the will of the people and not the will of the aristocracy or the wealthy. The most dangerous book since "The Prince" and "The Art of War"... (Mar 6, 2010);We are led to the World War III like lemmings. The book, "Final Warning, the History of the New World Order" was published in 1984, with editions in 1994 and in 2004. The idea endorses include US Presidents Jimmy Carter, George H Bush, Bill Clinton, George W Bush, and even Barak Obama is leaning to this direction. ... The time is now for China to divest it's excess dollars for highest possible return... (March 5, 2010); Why now? The US dollar is the only reserve currency in the world. The private for profit central bank of the USA, the FED, is not restricted by any budgetary constrains and holds the sovereign power to... Fire Balls from Olympus are testing the unity of EU... (Feb. 16, 2010); The goal of the private banking empires behind the FED is to destroy EU from ever raising to a financial powerhouse. Greece, Portugal, Spain and if necessary even UK have been skillfully "guided" towards an ax to be sacrificed in case the need arises. Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel declares "it's OK to buy stolen goods"... (Feb. 8, 2010); It was a very clear message - buying stolen goods is no more a crime. The flood gates keeping the robbers at bay are no more there. From now on the loot can be peddled anywhere out from the shadows even on the main streets of Europe, USA and the rest of the world... Contrary to the popular claim the inflation in the USA is dead - the interest rates will go up anyhow forced by the now highly profitable dollar "carry trade" played by our old Wall Street friends the Goldman's, the Morgan's & al... (Jan 29, 2010); The inflation we see in the USA is imported and we can do nothing to that in the USA. As long as our unemployment stays high and the labor cost in the importing countries are less than1/10...1/100 compared to ours we can not even have any domestically generated inflation. Our financial empires just picked US$ 3.9 from the FED and Treasury and that money is now moving to a new position - not as loans to the businesses as intended but to foreign currencies. The Economic Cycles are Man Made and not a Law of the Nature... (Jan 28, 2010); In the book, "The Price of Loyalty", a former Secretary of the Treasury portrays economics to differ very little from theology. This hit the bulls eye! We have been taken to a ride that has no end. Our alternatives are either a war that destroys our property or well hidden scams like we have today where the banks get the money and we down on the streets get the chicken feed if even that and discover that our pensions have disappeared. Gaithner-Bernanke family stimulus: for the top 1% US$ 2.3 million - for the rest 99%, US$ 1,320 (Jan 27, 2010); To have any intelligent discussion regarding employment and stimulus money we have to understand numbers and what they mean in a steady state economy: 1) From the 310 million people in the USA about 150 million are in the labor force (Bureau of Labor Statistics); 2)... To avoid the fast approaching FASCISM the USA must replace her military, energy, banking and health care policies and create a multiparty system... (Jan 26, 2010); ...according to global statistics the world uses about US$ 1.2 Trillion (2008) in military activities. The USA has a lion share of this with planned military expenditures reaching US$ 708 during the current year. The share of the United states from global wealth is about a quarter. If we want to maintain status quo our military expenditures should not exceed US$ 300 billion a year. This indicates that we are either planning to conquer the world by military force, a task that nobody has ever come even close to achieving or... PART I: The US dollar - Is the Western Plutocracy in bed with China...? (Jan 24, 2010); The Americans are blinded in believing that the US$ is the strongest country in the world while the dollar has been losing value for the past 40 years. The Sun King of France, Louis XIV, knew the real power of the money when he stated: "The one with most money will always win the war". The graph below tells that the USA is in trouble according to the Sun King. The dollar has been steadily losing value... UK and the Netherlands are shamelessly demanding from Iceland what they would never do themselves - Iceland should never agree with this nonsense... (Jan 15, 2010); How much money are the UK's and Netherlands's banks supported by their governments really demanding? To understand this we have to make a comparison. If Iceland would be the USA the exacting demand from UK and Netherlands would be US$ 3.7 Trillion. The combined GDP of UK and Netherlands is only US$ 3.0 Trillion (2006). Guess how the USA would pay back this debt? By evaporating these banks with a half of dozen cruise missiles carrying nuclear warheads - with evidence gone there is no debt. The iraq war is still below US$ 1 Trillion... We know it now, Goldman Sachs's CEO, Lloyd Blankfein, was "working for GOD!" (Jan 13, 2010); We know for sure that this was not the Christian GOD. When and how was this contract created and what was it's purpose? Did GOD really ask Goldman Sachs to securitize the US mortgage markets and sell these securities then around the globe. Did GOD then suggest that Goldman Sachs should short all these securities? Plutocracy is on war path - target: World domination! (Jan 8, 2010); Most people never understand that economics is not a pure science. Generations of young MBA's believe differently and regardless some will never "see the light". Economics in the USA as operated/managed today is approaching a religion or a dogma. In real science any disrespect to it's laws leads to instant punishment. Don't believe? Try jumping from the Eiffel tower as your absolutely final experiment of the evolution at work... The Earth is getting warmer - the Media has the wrong Message! (Dec 19, 2009); Yes, the earth is warming up. The real reason is one of the normal radiation cycles of the sun. The news media strayed from truth to populism and politics and is no more capable of telling the truth. We have no reason to panic. The earth's temperature is controlled by totally overpowering physical and chemical phenomena that will simply balance everything within reasonable limits. Our first real trouble will arrive about 5 billion years from now after the sun has consumed all of it's Hydrogen and switches to Helium as it's fuel. The meeting in Copenhagen last week produced nothing new. They agreed to "limit" the further temperature rise on earth to two (2) degrees C. Nobody reported that in reality they only agreed that the major cycle peaks during the past 600,000 years are 2 degrees C above today's temperature... Senator Joe Lieberman made it "Crystal clear" (his words) - he puts Israel before the citizens of the USA! (Dec 14, 2009); Our dear Senator Lieberman "Flip-Flopped" his campaign promise with Al Gore and his well televised speech just a couple of months ago. He was until now a solid supporter of the "public option" in the health care reform by allowing the aging people over 55 or so to buy into medicare as their option. This option would be crucial for this group to maintain health care availability in case they get unemployed for longer time periods or are no more employed at all... The USA claims to be a Christian country and to respect the Christian values...! (Nov 15, 2009); "Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword" - (Matthew 26:52). In 1991Saddam Hussein's entered Kuwait to take over it's oil fields. We encouraged him to do exactly that through our ambassador by reportedly telling... Is the news media serving us or somebody else...? !(Nov 10, 2009); Here is the story about the tragic shooting of 13 young servicemen in a Texas military base by a lonely army psychiatrist who did not want to go to Afghanistan to oppose his fellow Muslims. Judge yourself, if the news media is serving us or the causes of the Dark Lords behind Mr. Zuckerman. We here are simple people and suggest that you ask one question from yourself: "should I be honest with myself? For the last three centuries the World has been dominated by the Anglo-US Nobility - this emporium is already doomed... ! (Oct 7, 2009); For the last three centuries the World has been dominated by the Anglo-US Nobility. Our current imperious is in it's death bed with most likely final blow coming somewhere around 2020. History has spoken and it is very little that the ruling shadow coalition can do to keep it alive much longer. This is not the End of the USA. It is the new beginning for the USA exactly like happened in France, in Germany, in China, in Russia, etc. It is a more vibrant and living America that raises from the ashes that this "Nobility" leaves us to clean... The essence from the past human experience... ! (Oct 5, 2009); During the past 5000 years the World has been under 17 different known empires averaging about 300 years each. The currently ruling Anglo-US empire is already 300 years old and has adopted the exacting hostility pattern towards imagined enemies in the World that all 16 of it's predecessors used before their down fall. The public health care addition will not cost a penny more than the current system and here is why...! (Aug. 26, 2009); 1) The 40 million or so uninsured are not dying nor sick at any higher rate than all the insured people... The Swedish Newspaper "Aftonbladet" printed a chilling story of Israel's organ harvesting policy in Palestine! (Aug 25, 2009); Israel's prime minister Mr. Netanyahy called the prime minister of Sweden to get these reports of organ harvesting (one picture below) out from the Swedish press. The prime minister of Sweden reportedly replied flatly that the Swedish Government will not censor their press. If the reporters have a story that is important for the peoples in the North their job is to bring it up and print it... Mr. Birkenfeld from UBS gets to jail and for what purpose?! (Aug 22, 2009); For the IRS Mr. Birkenfeld became a "hero" by helping it to crack the case of foreign accounts in the UBS bank. Why does the USA want him to jail? Of course it is a crime to help someone to avoid taxes. It did not help at all that without Mr. Birkenfeld IRS would have been totally helpless, he had been participating and that was a crime.  For the Swiss his jailing is more understandable as he actually betrayed the country by perhaps causing permanent damage to it's income potential as a global investment hub. .. The Chinese have become Capitalists while the Americans have become slaves for their Bankers...! (Aug 21, 2009); As the major difference in China the banks are owned by the State - while in the USA the banks own the State. While the U.S. spends trillions of dollars to bail out its banking system, leaving its economy to languish, China is being called a “miracle economy” that has decoupled from the rest of the world. As the rest of the world sinks into the worst recession since the 1930s, China has maintained a phenomenal 8% annual growth rate... Orchestrated MOB runs the American Congress - if the history is right the FASCIST dictatorship is next...! (Aug 09, 2009); The far right has decided to use MOP to prevent all meaningful health care debates in the town halls around the country. The party is bussing their most fanatic low IQ supporters that listen the words of their leaders and consider these to be coming almost like from God on earth - word for word. For them these messages are the only truth. It has never dawned to them that they are just used as disposable pawns that have no value to party leadership and will never be rewarded regardless what kind of sacrifices they end up making. When corporations like Citi, Ban ka America, etc., are fined - a financial crime was committed somewhere and justice must be served! (Aug 09, 2009); The corporation itself does nothing it is just an empty shell to create a single taxpayer and the same time to cover the work of a group of people - regardless how big this group is. When a company is levied fines, regardless of the apparent punishment of the management, in the real world the government punishes only the low level workers and the clients of this corporation. In the future clients pay higher prices for services and the workers' wages are not raised like usual to compensate them. For the corporation a fine is just another cost item and nothing else... The process the "Dark Lords" use to gain from our ignorance! (July 21, 2009); It all was crystallized brilliantly by Mr. Larry Meissner from Portland Oregon in today's FT (July 22, 2009) when he answered to a previous writers letter as follows: "The headline 'ENGINEERS APPLY THEORY TO REAL WORLD' (Letters, July 20/ FT ) is backwards. Engineers apply real world to theory. Scientists create theories about the real world. As to the letter writer's assertions regarding efficient market theory (EMT), in it's original, basic form of the hypothesis was never more than a non-statement. '"The market price reflects what those paying attention at the moment know and are willing to do."' Being efficient is very different from being rational. We have lost the ribbon that keeps our democracy alive! (July 21, 2009); Here is the wake-up call for all AMERICA! Our republic has been hijacked by a foreign influence. We woke up to this on May 29th, 2009 when the Financial Times of London published an article covering a special Congressional vote and action on the President Obama's Middle-East policies. The results was given to President as a Congressional non-binding Advisory. The peculiar issue here is that not even one of the US news sources TV or paper has mentioned this so far. Mr. President, the facts will oliberate the healthcare opposition! (July 20, 2009); Repeat asking publicly comparison questions between our health care system and the ones they have e.g. in Europe: Why does their total health care system that include both public care, and private health care insurance cost 1/3 less than ours? Why do the medicines there cost considerably less than here in the USA, sometimes only 1/5 from what we pay here - the same manufacturer the same Medicine, makes no difference if the manufacturer is located there or here? Why does the same hospital care given there using the same equipment and equally qualified doctors cost here 3 to 10 times more than here? Why do we die younger here than those that have a public health care as part of their health care system? The Investment Banks are now stealing openly from Shareholders! (June 30, 2009); Re: My fellow shareholders it was your money, US$ 70 million of it, that disappeared in thin air in a flash - open letter to Razer Technology shareholders (ticker RZ) We here are generally disappointed of the new share issuance on June 3rd, at discount price, to undisclosed purchasers. Of course it is customary here in the USA, enforced by the semi criminal leaches we can call some of the investment bankers...
