Pretty soon the dollars will be so worthless THEY will be paying YOU interest to borrow it! Gold was below $980/oz, too, off from $1050, but don't expect that new yacht to drop at the dealer...(c; We're in very serious trouble. They can't keep plugging the holes in the dam for ever..... http://www.orlandosentinel.com/busin...,4883136.story Diesel rose further above $4/gallon making you a genius to buy a sailboat, not the Azimut. "Diesel rose 1.3 cents to a new record national average of $4.015 a gallon Tuesday. Delta Air Lines on Tuesday offered buyouts to 30,000 employees, about half its work force, and said it will cut domestic capacity 5 percent this year to cope with soaring fuel prices." Of course, this is NOT at the MARINA! |

That is just fuel. Bait, etc, add on. Figure it out,,, same fish, but twice the price to get to same fish. We are F......ed. This is what happens when the government get too big, and we elect a dope. The three who are running now; Hill, Borac, and Casper .. would you hire any of these people. We are F........ed. |

The money is worthless because of the FEDERAL RESERVE and it's elite group of BANKER owners. FEDERAL RESERVE is like FEDERAL EXPRESS, a private corporation. The government borrows money, at interest, from them! They're at the top of the blame heap....printing worthless bank notes. They also cause the interminable wars that have gone on since 1913 to line their pockets with gold. These wars, like Vietnam, are not to be "won", but to be SUSTAINED so governments keep coming back to borrow more money to wage them. Prices only reflect demand, supply and the value of the currency. We can reduce demand by sending 15% of the population HOME TO THEIR OWN COUNTRIES. Do you think demand for gas will drop if we reduce consumption 15% by deporting the illegal population? I do. Eliminating the private central banks is key to problem 3. |

Eliminating the private central banks is key to problem 3. Latest scam here in the UK are the bank robbers. Not your old-fashioned Chicago-style guys with 45's and sub-machine guns. These guys are dealers who spread rumouirs around the market that such-and-such a bank is about to go bust. They wait until the arse falls out of the stock, then rush in and buy. The bank issues a denial, the stock rockets upwards, and these guys then make a killing by selling. Yesterday they spread the word that one of our biggest, HBOS, was about to go belly-up. The stock dropped 35%. They bought billions and made millions in less than a day. HBOS curently has around £660 billion on it's balance sheet.These crooks made £100 million yesterday alone. Our government seems powerless to find out who starts these rumours, which o nly work in today's jittery market conditions. Bank robbers? Sure they are, but who can prove it? You would think some honest dealers would come clean and shop these guys by exmamining the deals they make, but it's a closed market. Nobody tells. Dennis. |

I find that hard to believe. What the regulators do is first examine who's doing the shorting. (There are records of the trades, no? The regulators can look at those records, no?) A pattern quickly develops. Then they look for somebody in the shorting entity that has other likely regulatory problems, and come down on him like a barrel of lead. Then offer leniency if he'll spill what he knows. Generally works. It is being investigated, see: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/7305039.stm Cheers Marty |

But, in the case of the CENTRAL BANKERS who control the governments, and their regulators, do you think these "regulator" who work at the pleasure of the CENTRAL BANKERS are going to shoot their feet off and starve for Queen and country by blowing the whistle on them? Not in your lifetime. The bank crash in the early 1920's was caused by the same central bankers that caused the crash of 1929, starved millions and pocketed huge profits used, even today, to still control the world by its purse strings. |

General opinion in the press today is that the real culprits (they who started the rumours) will NEVER be caught. The UK regulatory bodies concerned with market misdemeanours are as weak as hell, and really ought to be disbanded. Dennis. |

Eliminating the private central banks is key to problem 3. Sorry Larry The cause of the current banking crisis is the EXACT same cause of the Savings and Loan Crisis of the 1980s and has to do with 'social engineering' as was enforced (this time from the Federal Court System - BOSTON) versus 'discrimination' in lending practice. The Boston Federal Court ruled that is was 'discriminatory' for a bank to require that a borrower prove that he/she had sufficient collateral/income to support the loan and to be able to pay if that loan would become into default ... and these loans were issued versus NO collateral and with NO % investment of the borrower ---- if you remember such loans/ mortgages prior to 1980s REQUIRED as cash down-payment of ~ 20% to ensure 'good faith ownership' of the mortgage by the 'borrower'. The exact same thing happened to cause the S&L crisis of the 80s wherein lending institutions were 'red-lining' based on geographical areas of high default (also ruled 'discriminatory'. Our Congress (who now only 'works' 3 days a week) in its usual lethargy to get involved i n 'discrimination' issues both times simply sat on its collective ass and did nothing other than watch as the banking system began to collapse both times when the defaults became common. If you want to blame someone, blame the liberal Federal Courts for their addition of 'social engineering' requirements to banking issues, blame our US Congress who ultimately controls the banking system and who twice now sat on its dead ass and did NOTHING to prevent this, and then blame the FannyMae (the board 'stuffed' with unknowledgeable Clinton era supporters) who ultimately 'holds' and supports these worthless mortgages. In the end you can be 'pleased' that your holdings and value is now worth 30%-50% LESS (vs. other currencies) .... all in the pursuit of social engineering and 'discrimination'. Dont worry, with the current political 'tilt' of the US, the same exact thing will inevitably happen again ... probably in 5-7 years; but, with the additional burden of 30-50% increased federal individual taxation rates; The 'rich' being targeted will be probably anyone who makes greater than $60K per year !!!!!!!! I'll bet the farm on that one. |
