“What is happening in Cyprus is disgraceful. The principle that there is no division between your private property and communal property which may be appropriated by the government whenever it sees fit is an outrageous one in any system other than Communism. The idea that a government which has chronically misspent may order the banks to close and deduct a sum of its choosing from a person's balance before allowing it to re-open is beyond parody.”- Thomas Pascoe, Telegraph CONFISCATION: Panicked Europeans Rush ATMs as Leaders Move To Seize Funds Directly From Bank Account Holders ... http://www.wealthwire.com/news/global/4662?r=1 Democracy is a fiction when no matter who you vote for, the banks and bondholders win control of the national income stream and private wealth...http://goldsilver.com/news/the-deeper-meanings-of-cyprus-charles-hugh-smith/

News Background: 1. 中国设三沙市与南海博弈 2. Thirsty South Asia's river rifts threaten "water wars" 由於其巨大的经济潜力,南海成为火药桶的可能性不断在提高。全球十分之一渔获来自这里,全球50%的海运是要从这里经过再转向他们的最终地点, 谁掌控了南海,同时也掌控了别人的命脉。 正如美国当年乃至现在的中国一样,一个极欲掌握全球经济的国家,首先就必须掌控越多的资源越好,尤其石油更是如此。自从中国仰赖外国进口的石油来撑托起经济发展之际,中国就被所谓的「马六甲困境」所束缚。 交通与经济的战略要点 因此,除了发展诸如「珍珠链战略」这种避开过度仰赖马六甲海峡做原物料航运唯一管道之外,近在咫尺的海底油源—南海,更是不能轻易放过的来源。 * Future demand for water may spark conflict * Disputes over Himalayan rivers make South Asia a flashpoint * India's hydropower plans in Kashmir upset downstream Pakistan The 330-MW dam is a symbol of India's growing focus on hydropower but also highlights how water is a growing source of tension with downstream Pakistan, which depends on the snow-fed Himalayan rivers for everything from drinking water to agriculture. It's not just South Asia -- water disputes are a global phenomenon, sparked by growing populations, rapid urbanisation, increased irrigation and a rising demand for alternative po...

Conspiracy of The Bankers

图片
现在的货幣体系是「钱=债」。所有的钱都来自债务,因为钱越多债越多,还完债国家就没钱,要更多钱就需要欠更多债。现在的金融体系可以运用部分准备金製凭空造钱,规模往往是本金的十倍二十倍,所以问题在於部分准备金製,以推动经济为名儘量放贷。实际上这些贷款大多不用於生產,而是消费,除通货膨胀和提高国家整体债务外,根本对经济发展没有好处。 人性对萧条的恐惧、短视和对经济规律的无知,妄图用发行欧元债券,组成银行、財政和政治联盟,製造更多通膨泡沫来掩盖上一个泡沫,未来世界必定会为这愚蠢行为付出更大的代价。 Who Rules The World?

There are two ways to conquer and enslave a nation. One is by the sword. The other is by debt. ~ John Adams Populist policies undermine reform Failure to demonstrate such flexibility and implement necessary reforms will see us going down the slippery slope that countries such as Greece and Italy find themselves in today. We can say goodbye to reformasi if the national agenda for change is usurped by populist desperadoes. http://www.thesundaily.my/news/218388 派鈔票政治 The PIIGS — Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece and Spain — borrowed gobs more than they could ever actually pay... 加薪,沒問題;花紅,多多益善。公務員是國家的骨幹,當然要疼要愛。更重要的是,130萬公務員,就是130萬張選票,這才是硬道理 ... 民粹政治就是儘量討好群眾,只要可以激起人民的熱情,讓大家又high又happy,就可以放手做。民粹不求治國理念,不求管理效能,不放眼明天和未來;只求可以執政,混過今天。... 不管是國陣或民聯,應該提出振興經濟,帶動成長的政策,提高國民收入;而不是把國庫的錢派光光,讓人民更加依賴補貼。派鈔票容易,國家淪落也容易。 http://opinions.sinchew-i.com/node/21145?tid=17 Zorba the Greek — get a job!

A Message to Occupy Wall Street

图片
Dear Occupy Wall Street, I completely understand your anger and commend you for having the courage to do something about it. Henry Ford, founder of Ford Motor Company  said nearly a century ago , " It is well that the people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning. " And that was before the government financial system really got good at stealing from and impoverishing us.  Today, if we all really had any idea as to what has been done to us by the system there’d be 6.8 billion people involved in these protests.   However, there is a very, very important piece of the puzzle that you have missed completely. In order to understand why, you have to realize one thing.  You have been brainwashed. Don’t feel too bad, we all have been. Thomas Pynchon said, " If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don't have to worry about the answers. "...

None Dare Call It Conspiracy

Government either gets money by taxing or borrowing. The super-rich got that way by leveraging the latter. But does anyone really understand how that government borrowing works? From Gary Allen's famed 1971 classic None Dare Call It Conspiracy: The public is led to believe that our government borrows from "the people" through savings bonds. Actually, however, only a small percentage of the national debt is held by individuals in this form. Most government bonds, except those held by the government itself through its trust funds, are held by vast banking firms known as international banks. For centuries there has been big money to be made by international bankers in the financing of governments and kings. The process through which one collects a debt from a government or a monarch is not a subject taught in the business schools of our universities, and most of us - having never been in the business of lending money to kings - have not given the problem much thought.

China's 1.38 billion people will use 80% as much paper as is produced globally today. That will leave 20% of the paper for the remaining 84% of the population... Hello, forestry boom. China would also need 1.5 billion tons of grain annually to feed those 1.38 billion people. That's 70% of what the world produces annually. Will the remaining 30% of grain be enough to feed the remaining 7.1 billion people in the world?... Hello, agriculture boom. China will also have 1.1 billion cars by then. That's as many as are currently in the world, so imagine every car in the world today being in China...To host that many cars, China would needs roads, highways, and parking lots currently equal to 66% of the land it uses to grow rice.

Inflation Nation

Thanks to recent skyrocketing inflation, the citizens could no longer afford to eat. The middle class was starting to starve. There's an old saying that's used to define the temperament of oppressed people: “Bread and Circuses”... It dates back to just before the fall of the Roman Empire in 100 A.D., and is derived from the observation that people will put up with nearly all sorts of tyranny and injustice, so long as the mob has food and entertainment. What's happening across the world is a result of their food becoming too expensive. Feeling the same pain, just days after the first protests in Tunisia, the riot fever spread to Algeria — where protesters hit the streets, carrying signs that read “We Want Sugar!” Next to fall, for the same reasons, was Egypt... Then Libya. You get the point. You hear about it every day. But what many in the mainstream press fail to realize, is that these protests and riots aren't simply because of a harsh dictator. Anyone over ...

Deflation

"In the last three years, banks all over the world have printed trillions of dollars, in the hope of saving the world economy. In spite of this massive banking fraud, people continue to try and save money. Saving counterfeit money is insanity…pure stupidity." ~ Excerpt from Robert’s Conspiracy of the Rich bulletin. What is about to happen in the markets and the economy in 2012 and the decade beyond was practically preordained back in the 1970s and 1980s… And as you’re about to discover, there’s nothing you or I, or any politician or government, or any team of monetary experts can do to stop it. As history has shown, these economic trends are virtually set in stone – as certain as the DNA with which we were born. Some of the greatest fortunes have been made, not in boom times, but in down economies… by people who understood exactly what was going on: The Kennedy fortune was made this way, buying up cheap companies and assets during depression era America.

World Gold Holdings

The U.S. dollar was among the first to abandon the gold reserve system 40 years ago, as part of a series of economic mandates that came to be known as the "Nixon Shock". Since then, every other major world currency has done the same. With national economies now running on the fiat capital system, in which money is conjured into existence by governmental decree, there is simply not enough of any precious metal to back up all financial transactions everywhere. But will this stop minor forays back into a gold/silver-backed system? Clearly not.

宏观政治的颜色革命

图片
美国在1980年代初以“非政府组织”来掩饰“中央情报局”(CIA)的实际身份,以展开收集他国情报、罗致亲美代理人及进行颠覆政权的阴谋。 美国进行颜色革命之前,会通过培训、收买、舆论造势及国际机构颁奖,以培养与挑选“亲美代理人”, 并选择最能体现和维护美国利益的代理人。 以“非政府组织”(NGO)的面貌出现,轻易接近及拉拢发展中国家的非政府组织,并以各种名目给予拨款资援。这是收买各国民间组织的手段。 美国通过“维护美国利益”的代理人,用尽一切方法,鼓动人民进行大规模游行示威活动,企图扩大社会不满情绪浪潮。这类行动已被证明非常有效,不少国家在刻意制造的大规模骚乱后,而局势失控致当权者被推翻。 利用非政府组织打先锋,为“街头政治”营造适当氛围,就是美国惯用的手法,并采用“民主与和平”的口号来吸引人民的响应与支持,制造人潮形势去影响及争取民众的支持。 在展开“街头政治”前,他们通过雇用善于搞网络的年轻人及时事撰稿人,铺天盖地在网络媒体及平面媒体为“街头政治”粉饰及造势,并美其名为“民主及人权”斗争。 颜色革命是美国势力不断向全球扩张的极具特色的“侵略行动”,可别忘了,自第二次世界大战后,美国为了本身的利益,就不断干预他国的内政;甚至还以“国际警察”自居,闯入他国逮捕政府首脑,如墨西哥总统诺力加,并诬赖伊拉克拥有大杀伤力武器(WMD),而发动侵伊战争,荼毒了万千生灵。 制造借口干预他国内政 虽然美国培养与挑选多名亲美代理人,但是他们也会根据情况的需要,而在代理人中选择最能体现和维护美国利益的代理人。 他们选择代理人的标准是:年富力强,有个人魅力及没有劣迹,当然先决条件是100%亲美,99%都不行。 美国容不得“他的人”,对他有半点不忠,因为“用人不当”,犹如下棋般:“一子错,满盘皆落索”。 民间组织应自强不受摆布 美国资本集团和政治集团联手策划及发动颜色革命。例如在全球金融界呼风唤雨的犹太裔富翁索罗斯,通过他成立的“开放社会基金会”,发放资金以“协助打开封闭社会”。 其使命是搜寻及发掘可能的“民主萌芽”,然后想方设法地扶植它发展壮大,其过程是和平、缓慢、渐进但不间断,而最终目标是导致“民主”在一些国家诞生。至今该基金会已在东欧、拉丁美州、东南亚、中东及中国等地约50个国家设立分支,雇员超过千人,并花费超过3亿美元。 我...

Decolonisation of Universities, An inquiring mind will set you free

图片
cogito ergo sum , in Latin, to mean I think therefore I am . The expose by the scholars and participants from 20 countries help to convince those who were still hesitant about the need for efforts to decolonise universities – still very much Eurocentric – in Asia and Africa that the knowledge they had been “brainwashed” into believing as being universal was not universal at all and based on false assumptions. It was also meant to provoke re-thinking about the assumptions they had made based on discoveries and ideas of western scholars published in western academic journals, that nothing should be accepted as universal truth without careful scrutiny. The West seems reluctant to acknowledge scholars from India, China, Africa and those from the Muslim world and promotes the idea that the Bologna monastic school was the first university. Thus, few know about the great universities of Taxila, Nalanda, Zaytuna and Nanjing which preceded Bologna. ... the conference agreed that whi...

7 Signs That China’s ‘Bubble Economy” Is About to Burst

7 Signs That China’s ‘Bubble Economy” Is About to Burst — and What That Means for the Rest of Us If you follow the mainstream financial media, you’re probably under the impression that all the problems threatening the U.S. economy today are homegrown — and that China is about to “eat our lunch.” Don’t believe it. The reality is, despite its very real progress over the last three decades, China in recent years has been pursuing policies that in many ways duplicate the very same mistakes that led to the U.S. financial crisis — and will lead to a very similar outcome. Only this time, the broader effects on the global economy — and on the U.S. in particular — could be worse. Much worse. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying that China will never be the global economic superpower many are predicting. What I am saying is that there will be some big bumps in that road — and that one of the biggest is about to knock the wheels off the Chinese juggernaut. Again, this is not my opinion alone. ...

The lies Bush wanted to believe

Posted in: Opinions Written By: Eric S. Margolis* I take little pleasure in being vindicated. I’d have much preferred the US had never invaded Iraq, an unnecessary war that killed hundreds of thousands, ravaged Iraq, and cost US taxpayers close to $1 trillion — to date. Ironically, it was Saddam Hussein, not Bush or Cheney, who were telling the truth. The US media played a major role promoting the Iraq war. It trumpeted White House war propaganda, headlined false stories, and kept the American public in a state of constant fear and confusion. Thanks to collusion between the Bush White House and the media, over 80 per cent of Americans wrongly believed Iraq was behind the 9/11 attacks. ... Americans, as with most people, like to be told only what they already believe. The US corporate media often acts as a megaphone for government or special interests rather than performing its key role in a democracy — keeping government honest.
