canon 450D I'm blue for you...Get out of debt now... if you are living on credit cards... by FAB O LENS

Blippy calls himself "a fun and easy way to see and discuss what everyone is buying." Call me crazy, but I've never thought the service was a great idea. I mean … If I really want to tell people what I was spending money on, I could just tweet about it or write it on my Facebook wall …. And at least I would not give my credit card number out. And then I would not be giving my number, it would never have appeared in Google search results uheld.Nej, I do not think there are a large number of people who would be performing the query "site: blippy.com +" from map ", but it's hardly the point. Someone figured out that it worked, and someone saw a whole lotta numbers they should not have seen. If you ask me, it's a punji stick their users were waiting to enter på.Jeg think maybe I am a little closed minded about this, but I can not think of any reason why someone wants to enable this kind of access to their Credit card data. Would I ever sign up for this? Hell no, but you may not have convinced me to join a Blippy account before this screw up siden.Boy, they are certainly very fortunate that they announced their big $ 11 + one million financial gain just before this news came out. .. [Via Venture Beat] This morning we were told that some users purchase sharing site Blippy had their credit card numbers exposed in Google search results. The company is now out with their official statement on the matter in an attempt to assure users that "it is a much less harmful than it looks." The statement also describes the fact that only four credit card numbers were exposed as a result of " an isolated incident from several months ago in our beta testing "and that current users have not been affected.Here 's how BlippyBlippy describes the chain of events that led to the emergence of credit card numbers in search results: Say you buy lunch at Quiznos. Your credit card statement shows a complex solution as "Quiznos Inc Store # 1234 San Francisco." But Blippy cleans this up to show only 'Quiznos. "We refer to these as" raw data "vs. the" cleaned up data. "Raw data is typically harmless. But it turns out that some credit card (four out of thousands in this case) shows the credit card number in the raw data. For example, Quiznos Inc Store # 1234 from card 4444 …. "Many months ago, when we were first building Blippy some raw (not cleaned up, but usually harmless) data can be viewed in the HTML source of a Blippy website. The average user would see nothing but a certain person could see the "raw" items. Yet it was mostly harmless – things like the number of shops and such. And it was all removed and fixed quickly.Enter Google's cache. Turns out Google Google indexed some of the HTML, although it was not visible on Blippy website. And stayed four credit card numbers (but a scary 196 search results). We're working with Google now to remove Blippy from their cache and they inform us that it will be completed within a couple hours.Blippy also promises to take additional measures for their third security checks and to be more cautious in future.Nonetheless because the already vague attitude web dwellers when it comes to sharing this type of confidential information, but we are not convinced that this explanation will do much to reassure the handing credit card or bank information to the now damaged site.Update: Google works to no longer show excerpts of the cached Blippy links.For more social media coverage, follow the Mashable Social Media on Twitter Twitter or become a fan on Facebook

Mo Money Mo Problems by franimal

Guerilla Budgeting: A little adds up to a mass. Everyone at some point come to the conclusion that they spend too much, but often it is difficult to identify where all this money is going. When it goes beyond a budget that is somewhat overlooked costs because of simple, "the only $ 22 a month" rationalism. Even smaller, weekly expenses like eating out three times a week, or enjoy the amazing 44 oz Coca-Cola a few times a week, ignored or forgotten. Think of this $ 22 a month (preferably the bill, it does not matter) comes up at $ 264, adding that three 44 oz cola per week for one year at $ 1.49 ($ 214.56) and you have over $ 478 a year. The cola alone like a car payment! Creating a simple plan to reduce these small costs are not difficult, it does happen that there is. When you run around and do our errands, its very easy to stop into a convenience store and pick up a snack and soft drinks. If snacks, soda drinking habit is necessary, buy in bulk and take them with you. A warehouse store often bear these points buy crate load and offering massive discounts of up to 70% of the price when you buy several at one time.Reducing these costs and is not so complicated. A mobile phone bill, with a reasonable rate, no matter where you are, should fall around $ 25 per month (of course this does not apply to everyone), but plans with additional features based on your needs is always available, so take advantage of them, and change if necessary. If you text a lot (SMS) and are charged 0.04 per message, adds up very, very quickly. I have a friend who easily goes through 1,000 text messages a month, it is an extra $ 40 per month spent on messages, a plan that offers free and unlimited messages could eliminate this.If you make a lot of money, great, these suggestions are by no means pointing fingers, but think how much nicer a vacation would be if you had an extra $ 1,000 to spend on what you wanted just because you cut down a few unnecessary expenses. This money could be used for a down payment on a new car or a nice (and expensive) shoes from Italy you always. Saving money is good for anything but a penny saved should be a penny spent on you, not your phone bill.This article is the first of many in a series of observations and suggestions based on improving the little things around you that will make life just so much easier to enjoy.Financial difficulties now a reality for everyone.

Credit is essential in times of need. Try not to use them when not an emergency, freeing up valuable alternative money when it is needed most. Keep a credit card with a high limit in a safe place just for this purpose. It is far better to use a credit card than the victims of 500% interest rate (or more), payday lenders can offer.3. Emergency items should always be kept in a safe place, especially in a fireproof safe located in a safe place. Many safes offer excellent protection against all elements and will also give you a peace of mind that you're protected. Some copies of documents should be kept inside include: • Mortgage Documents • Auto loans and ownership documents • Insurance documents (car, medical, home, etc.) • Medical records • birth certificate • legal documents and wills • Front and back of your credit card • Licences and passportIt would also be appropriate to include a list of important numbers and a small stash of emergency cash4. Know what your options are. Have a list of everything you have access. Keep it simple so you know exactly what you can do and where you can go in case of an emergency. Know what unemployment would offer you if you lose your job. Also all your creditors and lenders numbers to notify them two minute something happens in this way may be able to defer a payment or two to help out.Being produced only the first step, but this step will help you to remain calm when dealing with other events that may occur. Your families safety is invaluable; know what to do in case of a financial emergency is too.Facing your fears. The financial crisis is what they should do is. As mentioned in the previous section, a financial crisis is here and very real. Have a plan in place is key to helping a family through a crisis, but that does not stop it or make it go away. Know what will happen if and when you are actually in that position are equally important. The important thing is to keep your cool and focus on what needs to be done, not panic, it will only make things worse. Here is a list of things to do if you ever find yourself in a similar situation.1) assess the situation, knowing where you stand will help you to take the next step.a) Exactly how much will you owe? B) Who you owe? c) When should you pay it? d) If the lender or creditor offer payment plans? e) Have you talked to them about other options? f) What will happen if you do not pay? g) When do you expect this crisis to be over? 2) Check your options, known what is available will help you set your goalsa) Unable to pay small bills. Cannot 'pay your utility or credit card bill? Utility company does not report to credit bureau, and will usually charge a small fee if you are late. Try to negotiate a payment or skip a payment if you will be charged a small fee, although it is advisable to contact them first to review your payment options.b) Unable to pay large bills? If you can not pay your car loan or mortgage, contact your lenders right away. Normally, payment plans can be developed, but waiting to borrow for very severe penalties, including loss of your car or home. Try to use savings or borrow from family. If you are constantly able to pay your mortgage, you might consider contacting a certified HUD counselor, they can offer good advice to solve the mortgage issue. c) Heavy debt. If you are making decent money, but face heavy debt because large amounts of money to put together a plan to pay them off, either through a written budget or bill directly from your income, the way the bills are paid and you will not see the money through your hands.d) Debt collections. Many small debts such as credit cards, medical bills, etc, can be sold to collection agencies. Your first step is to ask they contact you via mail, they shall by law to comply with this. Then develop a payment plan with them and work quickly to reach agreement. Debt collectors can often negotiate for lower debts if you can afford a lump sum, work them if they are willing, ask a supervisor to order a settlement.e) Job losses. In case you lose your job, immediately see if you qualify for unemployment benefits. Then contact creditors or lenders to prepare a payment until you are back on your feet. Immediately start looking for another job in order to prevent further economic difficulties.3) An action to solve your financial difficultiesa) Credit cards can be one of the easiest way to solve your financial problems, but they also carry additional risk, the opportunity to make your financial situation worse. They are a good quick source to pay a bill or a set of bills. This is best when you have a stable income and can make frequent payments to your cad. Credit cards also offer great deals when they are used to consolidate your debt, or combine multiple debts and put them on a map that creates a single payment.b) Savings are another good source, even if you think it is a bad idea. This quick fix can save you money in the long run, and you will not pay taxes or interest when you use it. If you have a 401k set up your business, you may access some of this, but often with penalties and taxes.c) Debt consolidation and other debt solutions may be found via this link and a comparison of their advantages are also listed. d) Payday lenders can give you cash up to $ 1,000 usually on the spot with minimal requirements other than a check issued to the amount you wish to borrow and proof of savings and revenues. But they are usually to be paid back within two weeks, a typical pay cycle. With fees of between 8% -25%, this means massive fees in such a short time. Pay them back immediately to avoid further fees.e) Personal loans can be taken out if you have a stable income and need a large amount of cash. You are required to pay them back between 1-4 years and normally have an annual interest rate of 5% -25% f) home equity loan is a great source of income if the value of your mortgaged property increases. This will create a large mortgage payment, but usually only a little, obviously depending on how much you take out.Hopefully these opportunities will help people in distress during a financial crisis. The most important thing to note is that there is always someone ready to help even the dreaded collections agencies.Income tax returns ……. Hooray! (Or boo?). Income is something the individual becomes acclimated to very early in life. Often frowned upon, but either way a tax for the government. Whether you are for or against this tax (there is for them?) Do not do something once a year, IRS (Internal Revenue Service) makes a review of everyone's taxes to see if they have paid too much or too little. As a working citizen, it is your responsibility to keep track of these points, however, is your employer obliged to send you an earnings statement for the previous tax year if you just worked a job the previous year, will contain all what you need to do your tax return process easier.So now you have the documents to file, and you have calculated the amount you will get to one of two conclusions, one should pay more or get a return. There is no average, no way to tell the typical citizen pays too much or have to pay, you're the one who decides on the basis of a number of factors that can be adjusted at any time during the tax year. If you will be paying, IRS willing kindly reminds you until you do, or they have to arrest you. To receive money, the IRS will kindly leave it up to you to let them know.If you have to pay, be sure to adjust your taxes with your employer to offset your income and add a bit more in taxes for To avoid having to pay again next year. To receive money, send in the tax refund form when you receive your tax refund, here are some suggestions for what to do with it: 1 Review your "forgotten" bills, bills due each year and see if there are any that will be due soon. Some of these bills include Hoa (homeowners association) memberships, awards, etc.a. If you do not have any reason within the next couple months, why not submit returns to savings and earn some interest on the side until the bill comes due.b. If there are some that will be due soon, write checks out or create a payment online, and a reminder, so it will be taken care of when the time comes2. Add it to your emergency savings, your tax return is more or less unexpected money, even if you did work for it, it is usually not known, what you get until it's time to submit them, therefore, just put it into savings because when you really need it.3. Pay an extra mortgage payment in the long run can save you thousands in interest if you make one extra payment per year4. If you rent, put back into savings to buy a home of your own5. Invest! There are many companies that offer great deals for first time investors. Research the market wisely before deciding which brokerage firm to choose and what online programs (if any) is best for youIn addition to these savings options mentioned above, there are numerous expenses, you can also take advantage of your tax return . These options include: 1 If you have pushed all checkups or other health expenses, now is the time to make them happen, nothing is more important than your health2. If you have maintenance to be done, whether your home or car, do it now! Grab a repair job early can save you big time down road.3. Extensions or improvements to your home that could save on utility bills, double paned windows, a freezer or a better air conditioner unit, all help to curb spending in year4. Take a vacation! Even if you're on a tight budget, it is important to relax and enjoy yourself once in a while. Taking a vacation will help you to focus on other things when you return home.The choice is endless, but impulsive spending could be avoided, and your return could be put to better use. Just think of the possibilities! Taking control of impulsive buying. We all know that we do, it happens at all levels, everywhere we go. If we get gas and end up with an extra $ 6 in snacks and beverages, which is an impulsive purchase. If we go to the mall to get a shirt and walk out with hundreds of dollars in merchandise that is impulsive purchases. Keeping impulsive purchases under control is so difficult as to say "no" to inclusive all you can eat buffet in Las Vegas.Just because there is a sale in progress, you have a bad day or is it simply for the purchase of convenience, impulsive shopping is more of an addiction of buying than anything else. Often buyers are able to rationalize and there seems to be a way to justify a purchase. But it is important to know that businesses are dependent on this shop features if none was an impulsive shopper, convenience stores would not exist.Here are some tips and advice on curbing your impulse and allow for more educated purchase: Make a list of things you want and the things you need, by doing this you can prioritize what can be bought next. By putting things in a visual perspective it will help to influence your purchase habitsIf possible, avoid shopping malls, go to the supermarket two or three times a month you can reduce the amount of chances that you can make impulsive decisions.Time you when you walk into a supermarket, give yourself 30 minutes to get everything in this way you will be rushed to get only the things you want and will help you keep focused.Know what your budget is if you are constantly aware of what you can spend, you're less inclined to spend your money on things you do not need. Beyond that, you also could buy the things you want, not need, by keeping this planIf a few days have passed and you're thinking something you really need, think about whether it can wait one week, whether you can buy it or not, or whether it really is so important, if after some time has passed you really need and can not borrow it, so go ahead and get a couple it.By responsiveness of these tips, hopefully you can reduce unnecessary spending and save more towards the things you really want or need.

Cash For Clunkers by Katie and Joe

William White, former chief economist at Bank of International Settlements (BIS) gave an important speech at George Soros' speech Institute of New economic thinking (INET) conference in Cambridge. While everyone is casting about for the one magic bullet solution that would have prevented this and future crises, he laid the blame for the credit crisis in the short term, pointing fingers, especially at economists and their models. White said that the models, almost all economists use is 'flow' models that do not allow for storage "and therefore completely miss unsustainable secular trends. In essence, were White said: "This is the debt, stupid." When the total debt build entire business cycles, economists focused on the management of the business cycle miss a key ingredient that leads to a systemic crisis. It can be expected to politicians or private sector participants concerned about the day-to-day exhibit short-sightedness. But White says it is particularly worrying that economists and their models show the same trend, because it means that there is no long-term oriented systemic counterweight guiding the economy. This short-sighted that White refers to is what I call asset-based economic model. And frankly, it works – especially when interest rates are falling, as they have in the past quarter century. The problem is that you reach a critical condition where the accumulation of debt and misallocation of resources is so large that the same old politics just does not work anymore. And that is when the next crisis arises. Let me take you through my thoughts on this step by step. This is a pretty long speech because I want to cover a lot of topics. But they must fit together from the economic models of the likely outcome. The topics are: concentration of economic models of flow and the failure to model the external debt of the empirical evidence that foreign debt has increased over a wide scourge of the private sector dimensions of the doom loop of ever-lower interest rates, allowing foreign debt to increase after a secular decrease in interest rates has on an economy's ability to raise debt Loads evidence that monetary stimulus is no longer effective in allowing debt to increase the likely outcome of a balance sheet recession and a secular decline in the debt concentration of economic models to flow only from a post called "Why economists do not anticipate the financial crisis," I repeated White's feelings when revising a widely read piece by Paul Krugman, why economist's failure to anticipate the crisis: Paul Krugman is a Keynesian. So, his prescription is fiscal stimulus. The government has pumped money into the economy and it will relieve pressure on the private sector. There is some merit to this argument on the stimulus. Freshwater Many economists said monetary policy stimulus is what is needed. If the Fed increases the supply of money in the end the economy will react. This is what Ben Bernanke said in his famous 2002 speech at the National Helicopter Economists Club. Yet I could not help noticing that Krugman mentioned the word debt only twice in 6000 words. Indeed, the very passage to which Krugman uses the term for the only time in the entire article. And here Krugman refers to public debt, no mention of private sector debt at all. I have a problem with that …. This economic Ponzi scheme is what I have labeled the asset-based economy. As with all things Ponzi, it must be a spectacularly bad end. One can only Pump asset prices to pursue a debt-fueled consumption binge in the past. At a time. The Ponzi scheme collapses, and we are approaching that point. We still have zero rates, massive amounts of liquidity, the manipulation of short-term rates, the manipulation of long-term rates, and bailouts galore a full 15 months after Lehman Brothers collapsed. It is pure insanity. The reason economists do not anticipate the crisis because they were fixated on avoiding rebound and driving the economy to unsustainable growth rates by using debt to consume today what will be earned in the future. Debt is the central problem. When debt to income or debt to GDP doubles, triples and quadruples, it says you have doubled, tripled and quadrupled the amount of future earnings you eat in the current (see charts here and here). This necessarily means that you will have less to spend in the future. It is not rocket science. Private sector debt stock has been rising, the second argument of charts I referenced above (A brief look at the Asset-Based Economy on economic waves) gives you a visual of the massive leveraging of the U.S. economy, we have witnessed over the last generation . The charts show that debt has increased a secular basis across the entire private sector, despite numerous setbacks. Debt Level at the end of the second quarter of 2009 is 357% of GDP, a massive increase from the 160% that prevailed in 1982. The data clearly show that since 1982 the U.S. has relied on an increase in debt, even during the recession, to avoid setbacks … Debt Management This graph is pretty benign when you look at the aggregate level as a percentage of GDP. Pundits forecast an imminent increase in U.S. interest rates because of too much debt has obviously not seen in these data. But what is striking is the huge and unprecedented increase in debt as a percentage of GDP since the last recession hit. This difference in nominal GDP can not continue ad infinitum … Household debt … increase in debt levels in the household sector is rather surprising. In 1952 it began to 24% of GDP, rising to around 40% in 1960, where it remained through the Ford presidency. Afterwards shot up again to its current 97%, four times the level for half a century ago … Mortgages This pattern is roughly the same as its predecessor. Consumer Credit Debt Consumer Credit seems to be much more volatile than mortgages. You may see fluctuations in relation to nominal GDP is larger. And the absolute amounts are much smaller than in the mortgage market. The conclusion I draw from this is that the degree of household debt levels have risen unsustainably, the mortgage debt, which is to blame. Non-financial corporate debt is much more volatility in capital investments as reflected in non-financial business debt as well. Nevertheless, there has been a secular increase in debt level of the business sector, from 30% in 1952 to the current 78% … State and Local Government Debt Management Since the 1960s, state and local government debt is largely flat as a percentage of GDP … The Federal Government Debt This diagram looks very similar to the total public debt charts as the federal government debt dominates. What you should note is that the debt is lower now than they were in 1950 and has just passed the post-1950's high-water mark in 1993 by 49% … Financial Services Debt … Not only the financial sector debt rising from negligible percentages well above 100% of GDP, but the entire post-1982 period see zero drop compared to nominal GDP until the final quarter. What conclusions can we draw here? The financial sector is six times more important than in 1982 when its debt is measured as a percentage of GDP. The financial sector is protected, the U.S. economy since 1982 by increasing its debt to nominal GDP, even during recession. The financial sector received the second quarter relative to GDP for the first time since 1982. If this is a rear view, that means the recovery could continue. But if it is a canary in the coalmine, which is negative for the U.S. economy. This number bears see. External debt … The Doom Loop of ever-lower prices and greater influence is not only increases in relative debt loads. We talk about debt increases at a rate completely disproportionate to the underlying rate of economic growth. This increase in relative debt burden is very unhealthy and has created an ever-lower interest rates to avoid economic disaster, followed by an increasing severity of financial crisis, Doom Loop. What is the doom loop? It is unstable, crash-prone boom-bust lifestyle we have now lived for about 40 years, a cycle of cheap funding and lax regulation leading to increased risk and credit growth, followed by big losses and bailouts. With interest rates near zero everywhere seem doom loop to have hit a terminal condition where the debt deflation and depression are the only playoff unless serious reform measures. Source: doomsday cycle, Peter Boone and Simon Johnson Because these measures are themselves deflation and depressionary (with a small d), in my opinion, they will not be taken. -Make Markets Be Markets: The Doom Loop Low interest rates make a debt service mentality seductive Why is this debt build up has been allowed to continue? I owe these changes to the mortgage mentality made possible by a secular decline in interest rates. The debt service mentality During the boom and bubble that led up to the financial crisis, many in the financial world looked to the debt service costs in the private sector as the only relevant parameter to assess whether the debt was sustainable – both for individuals and in aggregate. It was the bubble mentality Which I need to take to task now, now that we are seeing it pop up in discussions on public sector debt as well. If not, we will probably see some of the big sovereign bankruptcies in the not too distant future. The debt service mentality goes a bit like this: Bob and Shirley are looking for a new house. They make $ 6,000 per month. So they can rightly afford to pay $ 2,000 per month for their mortgage. With a 7% interest rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage, meaning that they can afford to borrow $ 300,000 – or slightly more than four times income. So if Bob and Shirley put 10% down to purchase a home they can afford one that costs $ 330,000. The problem is when it is the only obstacle to borrowing. What happens to housing affordability, when Bob and Shirley's 30-year yield falls to 5%? Suddenly they can "afford" a $ 375,000 loan. What if they get a 4% rate? Now they can afford $ 425,000 in debt – a loan of more than 40% larger than the 7% and a massive 5.9 times income. Anyone who has a mortgage recognizes this math as an integral part of the home buying process. The lower rates go, the more affordable any debt load is, when debt servicing costs are the only limitation. As rates drop to zero percent, theoretical Bob and Shirley could afford to buy the house no matter how expensive. But obviously does not rate moves in one direction. If rates should go up much when Bob and Shirley wanted to move house, they would face a serious problem. In this sense, artificially low interest rates toxic. And therefore points to debt servicing costs as the only parameter for an affordable price and debt limitations bubble finance simple and straightforward. Here I am talking about the bubble financing, no Ponzi finance. In Ponzi finance schemes in the United States. We looked flat rates instead of lower but adjustable rates unsustainable Finally affordability became passé, as no-doc, zero percent down, ninja loans were the norm. Ultimately it collapsed Ponzi scheme debt in a heap – as always. This is what we saw in the blow-off phase of the bubble after Greenspan lowered rates early this decade. But the debt service mentality is what has preceded it. -On the sovereign debt crisis and debt servicing costs mentality second economic boom? Then you economists use power models completely ignore the debt. This provides intellectual cover to the asymmetric monetary policy, flooding the system with money every time the economy hits a rough patch. As a result. Private sector debt increased dramatically across the board all this continues for a generation because of a secular decline in interest rates, which allows servicing of the growing debt burdens. And do not think a second, this can not continue through another cycle. This dynamic may continue for a very, very long time. In the United States because of America's possession of the world's reserve currency, an increase in total debt is successfully funded for well over twenty five years. Mind you, there have been a number of landmines along the road. But again and again, these pitfalls were avoided by asymmetric monetary policy and counter-cyclical fiscal expansion. So can poor quality growth continues for very long. And it is this fact that makes it possible story about easy money and over to get power. The boy who cried wolf A soothsayer who advice against this type of economic policy, but warns of impending collapse will certainly be seen as the boy who cries wolf. Think back to 2001 or 2002. Have we not witnessed so the same idea, where the bears and Doomsday had slipped out of their holes to warn of impending doom from reckless economic policy? In 2004, unless those people changed their tune, they were long forgotten or even laughed – only to resurface in 2007 and 2008 with their new tales of woe …. The fact is: low-quality growth does not lead to immediate economic disaster. It can continue through many cycles. Even today, it is quite conceivable that we could see a multi-year economic expansion on the back of renewed monetary and fiscal expansion. … Printing money works. The goose the economy as intended and it can induce a cyclical upturn. Nevertheless, the upturn is likely to be of poor quality because of significant mali vestment. Debt levels will rise, and capital investments will be directed towards more risky firms. Look at what is happening in China. Are you telling me the stimulus is not working? It certainly is. The West is also working stimulus. It is designed to stop people from hoarding cash and to consume. It is also designed to get people out of savings accounts and into riskier asset classes. it does just that. The critical condition but at a time, all these things come to an end. In this cycle, we have already reached a critical state, where monetary policy is ineffective. As in Japan for the last decade or more, we hear everywhere that the demand for money has decreased by large corporate clients create significant amounts of cash on the balance sheet. Meanwhile, small businesses are starved for capital. A quote from Paul Samuelson's 1948 textbook bears noting. Today few economists regard Federal Reserve monetary policy as a panacea for the control of the business cycle. Purely monetary factors considered to be as much symptoms as causes, but symptoms with aggravating effects should not be completely neglected. By increasing the size of their government securities and loans and lowering member bank legal reserve requirements Reserve Bank may promote an increase in the supply of money and bank deposits. They can encourage, but without taking drastic action, they can not compel. In the midst of a deep depression just as we wish Reserve policy to be most effective, the State Bank is likely to be reluctant to buy new investments or making loans. If the Reserve authorities buy bonds in the open market and thus swell bank reserves, banks will not put these resources to work but just want to hold reserves. Result: No 5 for a "nothing", only one substitution at the bank's balance idle cash for old bonds. -Obama forgot Samuelson when he told the fat cats to start lending The reason this crisis is different is that we have reached the lower limit on the monetary policy of zero rates. We simply can not lower rates anymore. Indeed, because of the ineffectiveness of monetary policy, politicians have gone to other unorthodox methods of policy to stimulate credit growth remain. None of this has not yet had enough stimulation effect of increasing credit. So where are we going? Balance Recovery recession or not, weak consumer spending will last for years. I happen to believe that we are in a weak economy recovers (based on the last shot of stimulus, we can provide). But once this cycle starts to fade, we be in another world, the world Japan is now in. Listen to Richard Koo tell you about what we can foresee the future and why normal political measures will not work. He makes a very convincing argument. Koo suggested that Japan's huge public sector debt burden owed balance sheet recession, Japan is suffering and sees a similar dynamic likely to hit the Western world. This means that the private sector is in a secular trend downshifts. I outlined some of my thoughts based on Koo's model of private consumption post linked above. But the error in Koo's remedy is that it builds on the fiscal stimulus has been used to maintain the status quo ante, which results in a misallocation of resources and continuing overcapacity and economic malaise (see Evaluation of sectoral balances model in Japan). Furthermore, I see the rise in public sector debt in an equilibrium recession as a socialization of losses. If you look at any economy which has suffered steep decline in GDP, what we've seen is a decline in tax revenue, an increase in government spending and bailouts. This is true in Ireland, Britain and the U.S. in particular. In practice, there is a transfer of risk in particular agents in the private sector on public application-large. The extent of this risk transfer through annual double-digit increases in the debt to GDP is breathtaking. Finally, these debts are unsustainable for the world as a whole. Japan has been able to run the public sector debt at 200% of GDP, because it was only in balance recession and the private sector was willing to finance this debt. But things are different now. Sovereign defaults are likely. Debt Crisis in Greece is an example of what is to come. Those debtors who are trying to bulk increase the risk transfer in public will soon find odious debt a very real problem. And what will inevitably happen is that a systemic crisis will bring. A fiscal stimulus is warranted, but deficit spending as far as the eye can see risks a disastrous outcome. This is a very different world than we lived during the asset-based economy. But it is also a different world than Japan has survived over the last two decades. There are four ways to reduce real debt burden: by paying down debt accumulated through savings. by inflating away the value of money. of reneging partially or fully on the promise to repay by defaulting by reneging partly on a promise to repay in the form of debt relief There are all fixated on the first track to reduce (both public and private sector) debt. I do not believe that private sector balance sheet recession can be successfully solved through collective public sector deficit spending is offset by a private sector downshifts. The sovereign debt crisis in Greece say. More likely, the western world's collective public sector tries to pull this off. But will at some point debt odious force a public sector downshifts as well. And unfortunately, a collective debt reduction across a wide swathe of countries that do not occur indefinitely during smooth glide-path scenarios. This is a result which lowers income, which lowers the GDP, which lowers the ability to repay. We will have a debt crisis. The weakest debtors will default and haircuts will be taken. The question still up for debate in terms of systemic risk, contagion and economic nationalism, because when the first great sovereign default 'when systemic risk will resurface in the world. Los Angeles Times: A new report by undercover government investigators bolsters longstanding concern for firms to undertake to help consumers overwhelmed by credit card and other debt often turn out to be financial predators to charge high fees, but delivers little or nothing to gengæld.Når investigators for the Government Accountability Office released for distressed consumers who For help, known as debt management companies gave them wildly exaggerated descriptions of corporate success and sometimes promised savings of as much as 50 cents on the dollar, Gregory Kutz, GAO official who ran the investigation, told Congress on torsdag.Læs full story: Los Angeles TimesFå HuffPost Business PåTwitter, Facebook and Google Buzz!

Day 153 of 365 - Money, money, money by Riyazi

Fitch downgrades Greece to 'BBB-'; Outlook Negative2010-04-09 14:28:26.476 GMTFITCH Greece downgrades to 'BBB-'; OUTLOOK NEGATIVE Fitch Ratings-London-9 April 2010: Fitch Ratings has today downgraded Greece's Long-term foreign and local currency issuer default ratings to 'BBB-' from 'BBB +'. Outlook is negative. The Agency has also confirmed Greece's Country Ceiling at 'AAA' and the short-term foreign currency IDR at 'F2'. The downgrade reflects an intensification of fiscal challenges due to several negative outlook for economic growth and increased interest costs. It also reflects ongoing uncertainty about the government's financing strategy in the context of increased capital market volatility. The sharp increase in interest rates over the government in years, in combination with a deterioration in the outlook for economic growth, will make it harder for the government to achieve its fiscal targets for reducing the deficit to 8.7% of GDP this year and ensure that public debt peak at just over 120% of GDP in 2010 and 2011. The pressure on the banking system to emphasize the negative spill-over from the main risk concerns about the broader economy, while contingent liabilities from banking sector will rise as the government provides banks with increased guaranteed funding. Fitch acknowledges some early signs of improvements in tax administration's actual results and the strength of the government's commitment to fiscal consolidation measures that have been supported by Greece's eurozone peer governments. But given that the credibility of the fiscal consolidation efforts will only be established by a sustained deficit reduction over a longer period, it is essential that the Greek authorities, import statistics credibility from external institutions, underpinned by a credible commitment of financial support. The agency reiterates the lack of clarity regarding the mechanism for timely external financial support could have prevented the Greek market access to finance at an affordable price and hence further undermined confidence in government capacity to meet its fiscal targets. While Fitch believes that external financial support is likely to be forthcoming, more clarity about the back-stop financial support in the form of an explicit IMF program is expected to be committed to shore up market confidence in spite of still significant short-term financing needs. Negative Outlook reflects the significant uncertainty remaining over the prospects for sustained fiscal consolidation over the medium term.

Additional information is available at www.fitchratings. com. Related Research: CenturyTel said today that it has agreed to purchase Qwest Communications in a deal valued at 22.4 billion $, continued consolidation of rural telephone companies and end speculation about when and how Qwest would manage to sell parts of its business. CenturyTel will spend 10.3 billion U.S. dollars to buy Qwest stock and will assume $ 11,800,000,000 in debts. The deal comes two years after CenturyTel's predecessor company purchased Embarq Telecommunications for $ 11.6 billion to become CenturyTel and vaults it into the realm of Big Bells Verizon and AT & T. The combined Qwest and CenturyTel will have five million broadband customers, 17 million access lines , 1.4 million video subscribers and 850,000 wireless users (through a partnership with Qwest, Verizon). For reference, the AT & T 17.5 million broadband customers (16 million wireline), 4.5 million video subscribers and 26.6 million voice subscribers. Consolidation in the fixed market is driven by a couple of factors, many of which spell bad news for consumers subscribers, unless the winners of this consolidation party is willing to spend as gale.Efterspørgslen for wireline telephone and DSL services are waning, but same time, the need to spend money to maintain old lines and invest in new technologies like fiber is increasing. Unlike Verizon and AT & T, CenturyTel and Qwest does not have an equivalent wireless business to offset losses and increased spending on infrastructure. AT & T, for example, so its wireline business could provide only 24 percent of its fiscal first quarter sales, down 3 percent from the year before but 45 percent came from its wireless business – a company also operating at 45 percent. Besides the cable clamp, these companies also located in areas where the population is spread out, making it more expensive to maintain and invest in network upgrades. Verizon, for example, has been selling its rural lines where it can and it does not currently have plans to continue expanding its FiOS fiber-to-the-home buildout to more of its subscribers, most of which lies in the less populated areas . There is also competition with cable that can deliver faster speeds with a simple DOCSIS 3.0 upgrade, which can cost a couple hundred dollars per home, compared with the higher costs of providing fiber.Tilføjelse this harsh mix is the future reform of the Universal Service Directive Fund, a government subsidy program aimed at offsetting the costs of providing rural telephone service. The program is being moved away from the telephone allowance and to pay for broadband expansion. Federal Communications Commission is also trying to rein in some of the waste associated with the program. Within five years the FCC hopes to stop paying companies like CenturyTel of voice lines with USF money. Some of this loss will be obtained through new USF broadband grants, however, so this agreement may be a way for CenturyLink reap a larger share of these gebyrer.CenturyLink executives emphasized the potential for stronger business relationships that will win thanks to his acquisition of Qwest (it serves 95 percent of the Fortune 500), rather than consumers. Qwest also has a burgeoning cloud computing product that makes me wonder if CenturyLink may ultimately divide consumers and business firms further down the road. At the conference, executives said they can keep Qwest's name for business and use CenturyLink the consumer markeder.Historisk seen these telecom consolidation deals is a loss for consumers and even the companies who make them. Verizon has sold many of its rural assets, leaving its buyers to file for bankruptcy. Involvement of the burden of expensive assets and a lot of debt seems to be a winning strategy for telecommunications companies, but maybe the hope is to become something that is just too big to fail. As a result of the government's current focus on promoting broadband, maybe such a strategy is not such a bad idé.Udvalgte image courtesy of Flickr user etohaholic

"I'd love to help if you have some money on you" by swamysk

Ability to issue a global, national, or corporate currency creates power over the more common, not having the same rights, licenses and privileges.When majority stock of any nation becomes debt and speculative paper, instead of real products that can be exchanged for relatively real valuable finished that society has already doomed itself to extinction.Money is blood all nations. Once the heart of any nation is destroyed, the whole political gradually become cancer and nutrition of himself, eventually committing suicide.Those trying to defend the corrupt become themselves diseased and also die in the final battle to preserve what illusory power and prestige, the phony money may have temporarily given society.Upheavals is the birth of new systems and technology to replace old.The whole world is witnessing the biggest upsets in the history of mankind. New technologies in the humanities will make fire, automobile, aircraft and war functionally obsolete.The current wave of mergers across many industries through private equity transactions is simply an attempt by those who have failed to maintain a falling and collapsing financial system.Although in the long run, economically it makes sense to privatize every publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ, and every other exchange on the planet before it happens exchanges themselves will go through a phase of consolidation in anticipation of private wealthy executives seeking to hold on what illusory power and wealth they have currently.Unfortunately, debt instruments used to create these so-called leveraged buy-outs are nothing more than pieces of documents created on a computer and distributed to the participating banks and bankers throughout the world who have been so clever that they have made fools of themselves in oblivion.Technology is to bring people together faster than special interests can keep them apart or force them into quarrels. It was Buckminster Fuller who suggested that either war or men have become obsolete in the 1960s. Robotics has replaced the need for people to spend 90% of their time at work and unrealistically low salaries. This has affected the entertainment industry, especially now that the Writer's Guild of America is on strike and will soon Screen Actors Guild also wind up on strike, but unions are being broken, not by management, not by powerful interests, not even the oppressive Governments that support Octodragon, but progress in technology.Actors no longer necessary to only their likeness create very real effects in the entertainment industry, so their wages, like most leaders around the world who are paid on average more than 100 times the average day labor worker will become cut.Today we have the biggest battles being waged for the hearts and minds of a growing population of nearly 7 billion people soon to be eight billion. The biggest war in history is not being fought with bombs and bullets, and it will be fought with reason, logic and ideas.But those who subscribe to the philosophy of the Octodragon (divide and rule, to train them like mushrooms by keeping them in darkness and feeding them full of horse manure, control their money and their power and their time and labor) through their own ignorance will instigate World War four of guilt to try to defend what they laughingly call Democracy and Republicanism and so forthism. Therefore, logic and good ideas have always survived the temporary gains, bullets or bombs can offer. Therefore, short-sighted militarists always opt scientist, philosopher, artist and priest in the execution of their strategies to maintain their power even to know chaos theory can backfire on them, they pursue their own greedy interests as insects feeding on honey.There are some very high places who believe and promote the scarcity theory, which is really a false idea. There are only a shortage if you buy into your own government double speak. The last two speeches, which turns itself has lost its traction with the wise men on the main streets and in rural America. There is no such thing as soft landings in telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help them God, please! These scarcitists think that the whole world is overpopulated and that at least half of humanity must be blown away by nuclear wars to give the rest of humanity to survive, otherwise the whole planet will die.Who dies and who lives will be determined by your own intelligence level and your own will to survive in the coming decades, as new tools to fight ignorance is propagated and new inventions suppressed for many decades shows that the magic lots of millionaires produced by the upheavals now underway.There now a major shift of power politics that take place under the leadership of the global banking industry and technological advances. Honest people use technology more and more to eliminate cancer cells in the society that nourishes corruption and greed.The powers to regulate the value of money in the United States once belonged to the people. It was transmitted to Congress under the U.S. Constitution through the Federal Reserve Act.Now as a result of the World Wide Web, the Internet, the very definitions of money is being redefined by the more common and king alike. There are no standards for measuring the value internationally, but if we use our common cents, like penny, we can be the answer to a world engaged in greed, politics and conflicts.The rest of the free world followed the lead of the U.S. and Britain with their own forms of democratic government, central bank and various forms of specie and issuance. Britain no longer controls three quarters of world trade as she once did, while she reigned with Kings and Queens and empires imperialism.More than 220 sovereign nations will be forced in the not too distant future, the interests of global peace and survival for freezing U.S. and British banking, finance and insurance systems from the rest of the world and replace them with healthier, more equitable systems of monetary exchanges.The chairman of the Federal Reserve uses lies, false statistics and false propaganda in attempts to shore up the loss of faith and trust , as rest of the world clearly sees as a sick and corrupt world financial system based on economic philosophies long dead men who never will return to repay society for the debts they helped invent and foster.Lately shift in the purchasing power of the dollar is come under fire from many foreign central banks that see two major factors wrong with U.S. dollar.The first fact is that there have been too many U.S. dollars are issued through the paper and electronically and America is now in a state of industrial and financial collapse because of the corruption that permeates American government, industry, military, media and social services.The second factor is that the dollar has been worthless and ear because of copper prices, and because of a man known worldwide as "The Penny King "has driven the value of pennies in Los Angeles County up 10,000% to a dollar each time as part of a growing national public protest and social demonstration of People Power and ear! The daily U.S. dollar volume of currency and stock trades made by bankers and lawyers has doubled in just a decade from $ 1 to 2 trillion dollars a day. In 2010, these races will double again to 4 trillion dollars a day, unless people take their ear and put them where your mouth are.The total derivative instruments has exploded in the same period from less than 1 trillion dollars to over 450 trillion dollars and growing rate of over trillion a week. The most economics professors at top schools to teach about the planet is commonly known as hyperinflation that the same type of circumstances that brought about world war three and allowed three dictators rise to power, nearly destroying all of humanity with them. mouthpiece for the government paid in fiat money will soon find their purchasing power eroded at a rate of more than 10% per month, 120% a year. But it should not be news to anyone. Fed and Treasury have been to publish false and misleading statistics for the last 95 years, hoping that the common man on the street will not wake up and realize what a phony piece of paper U.S. dollar really is, after all is said and done.As a result of this false and misleading information, some lawyers in government, a revolving door of captains of criminals and Enterprise, has mistakenly and wrongly benefited from their knowledge of how it all works together like a giant engine of global economy.That subject the $ 50 trillion U.S. dollars lawsuit being prepared by "The Penny King" against the United States in a case being amended known as "Acs v. United States" in the U.S. Federal District Court – news at 11, but not on Fox News, is rumored to go under fast, while Rupert Murdoch encrypts to cover his multi-billion U.S. dollar illusory paper losses. His son has no idea what is really happening, because Fox News is about as accurate as the wolf speaks with a little Red Riding Hood! The actual inflation for the last 95 years has been closer to 1,300 percent annually, but don 't tell the lawyers and bankers who have helped and created 5 trillion U.S. dollar real estate bubble that has been stung by Penny King, who first notified in year 2000 that real estate prices will be quadrupled in six years and then collapse to less than 10% of their perceived value by the end of 2010.The U.S. government through fiat money system created by the Federal Reserve Bank has created on average, $ 30,000 in debt for every citizen in America.This debt will never be paid back with something more than more fiat money. It is a classic ponzi scheme continued to be refinanced on a daily basis through an illusory ponzified system of computer networks that are maintained by a network of 22 authorized Wall Street banks and brokerages. Ooops, was that the Dow Jones Industrial Average falls one thousand points in one day? That should make the Guinness Book of World Records … Truth is moving faster than the rumors and the idea of buying on rumor and selling on the news has changed to sell on the rumor, buy on the news, in case no one was watching what was happening – really! The common man, as a government decree is not allowed to create money out of thin air, but bankers and lawyers have availed themselves of these special privileges, forcing 90% of world population in sub-class people because the "upper class" is not clear that the world can see right through all the emperors who bear no clothing.Nazism, Communism, Socialism all collapsed through perversion of basic economic laws in favor of the few at the expense of many, despite their massive political rhetoric to contrary.The same goes for democracy, Republicanisms and capitalism, they are functionally obsolete theories of social engineering being replaced by modern human spiritual technologies.There were other factors involved in their collapse, but the cause of their false ideologies and perverted sense of justice was a corrupt economic policy which took from the many for the domination of few.America acted no different in what it propagandizes as "democracy" to the rest of the world. Capitalism collapsing for the same basic reasons that any system fails – dishonesty and corruption.Today money is backed by confidence, neither more nor less. When trust is lost when you can no longer rely on honesty of any system, it fails, and the rapidity of that failure is dependent channels of communication between those who use the system in daily trading, and those trying to maintain an illusion of stability. The sooner the common man realizes that he has been hoodwinked, the quicker the systems collapse. America's collapse is being accelerated by the ongoing investigations and revelations of the more honest people in the U.S. who understand corruption in the legal and banking professions.While FBI, Interpol and other law enforcement agencies worldwide have been out on a side track of a political fake war that seems to be a "war against terrorism" and must continue to follow orders from the supreme command channels of the Commander in Chief, the citizen groups formed in droves, investigating officers captains of industry criminals, whose exposure has put more than a point on a pike.Capitalism is headed Hitlerism, Stalinism and Socialism in the 21st century, despite the regulation, government intervention or political grand standing.The masses not start the fire but they will eventually put it out. Wars and invasion can not maintain the value of the currency and any policy of global domination fails when force used.Most analysts not to point out that the power to regulate the "peoples" money in the U.S. have been surrendered to the past ten decades, a privately owned bank, namely the Federal Reserve. This power, when maintained by Wall Street, where two banks alone once serviced more than 16 trillion dollars in assets when they announced they are set to merge are now moved abroad. The value of these assets alone has decreased more than one trillion U.S. dollars in less than 60 days – that's one reason why they were forced into mergers.Recently euro and the Canadian dollar have both soared past their face value in U.S. dollar trading conditions. U.S. U.S. dollar purchasing power has been completely destroyed, and eventually lots wake up to this and this winter will show how seriously in trouble America is really financial, economic and politically.Wall Street has lost what power when swung to control the Fed, to to influence the U.S. Treasury, or to dominate global markets. It has printed up and created too much money too quickly.At least $ 2 trillion in less than two years and more than 450 trillion U.S. dollars during the past two decades. 10 trillion U.S. dollars of debt denominated monetary government securities and another 10 trillion dollar mortgage bonds, whose security levels have fallen by more than 50% over the past 18 months in all markets throughout planet.The top ten banks in the U.S. will be forced to mergers to prevent them from going under separate – in 2010 you will see the global banking giants assets grow to more than 10 trillion U.S. dollars each for the top ten global bank institutions.That will be 100 trillion controlled by the world's top ten banks employee will only be around 100,000 people because of the rapid technological advances.These days many more merchants to leave their cash in lock boxes in their stores, so bankers do not have to pay Brinks and other security-related details outfits to move money around so much. The need for bank employees quickly being replaced by robots and technology. If you do not behave like a robot in a bank as an employee you do not last very long days for banks as JP Morgan, Bank of America, Washington Mutual, Countrywide, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac – despite all the mainstream media awards for best places to work, they have received in past.This hyperinflation is not real wealth, it's just more thin air, it is more of the same Phooey that came out of nothingness, was transformed into somethingness, and will be pulled back into nothingness faster if people's power to regulate their ear continues through it all, as it will.Some may ask how all the money went. Well it did not move or go anywhere. It has never existed in the first game, and when the borrowers, whether nations or individuals or corporate "persons" when their maximum capacity to pay interest on debt that they themselves have agreed to pay the standard of their agreements become invalid and paper which they signed their promises are worth less than a penny in today's markets, which is in fact what actually already happened while the senior officials at the highest ranks top management and the government tries to conceal this fact in order to maintain the illusion Money creation.Imagine it – to conceal something that does not exist in reality in a lock-box – is that false and misleading or not Mr. SEC lawyer? America is not going to pay back her debt, which was created by an illusory system funding sources and the 220 nations that were led down the garden path over the past 100 years will not stand by and see their currencies collapse because of American fraud.So if you owe banks and credit card companies phony money they created out of thin air, why should you pay them back? Why continue to participate in and contribute to the growth of Octodragon? Why not just stop putting any money into the banking system did save all of your ear, and if you need money for something, borrow it from friends and family interest free – and pay them back when you can because you will never be able to pay back anyone that charges you interest, regardless of how low it is.If all did this, would the cost of a loaf of bread becomes a penny, you can buy bubble gum for a penny again, you can buy a house for $ 500 in Instead of $ 500,000, and you can drive around in a new, modern car is connected to the internet that run on heat from the heated copper from the sun behind an electric motor and recharges batteries, go Zero to Sixty in four, yes, to four seconds and costs about a penny one mile run and maintain. This vehicle will travel at speeds up to 140 miles per hour, has a lifespan of one million miles and cost about $ 100 in the new world of people contracting economy's power to regulate the value of U.S. currency is now temporarily in the hands of foreign central banks which clearly has seen America's failings.China, Russia, Hong Kong, Europe and the Middle East now control more than half of the currency issued by the U.S. financial system, and they recognize that it is time to gradually get out and spread. America destroyed the U.S. dollar with greed, corruption and lack of politicians, lawyers and bankers to be honest. The effect of the ear, whose value is controlled by the people, not by the government will gradually cleansing all phony pillars political power.China grow at rates of 10-15% annually, India is growing by 10% and African nations is growing at 6 – 10% annual rates. This is real growth of real production of real goods and real services, not inflationary paper leaps and blaps on computer screens that do not have ability to contribute value to society whatsoever.Foreign money is no longer flowing into industrial production in the U.S.. Its annual growth rate has been blocked and America is saturated with problems of high prices, inflated real estate, both residential and commercial, and exorbitant executive pay and uncompetitive wages.The dual speakers on the government-controlled media such as ABC, CBS will NBC Universal, et al, all of which are riddled with government spies from the CIA, KGB and Mossad, and maybe a couple of other intelligence services that try to create the illusion of a "soft landing". They will use up the last of their power and voice to propagandize a recession, and call it something other than what it really is – a global depression.The power companies licensed by the states to issue money is regulated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and their opposite numbers on the state levels.The powers Banking, Insurance and Corporate Finance was once held by a close-knit group of politicians in Washington DC, which has affected the individual state policy through the process of politics and power appropriations.This is now completely gone and has been back in the hands of the man on the street who understand the value of the penny can be better tied to a dollar of the people, than the value of one U.S. dollar can really acknowledged to be less than a penny of the politicians who a majority of them lawyers and bankers, who are unable to recognize the insanity that they have created for all us.The people's power to conduct transactions and exchange of goods and services with the penny is fixed in a dollar heads of most men who meekly and humbly include philosophy of abundance is now greater than ever because of one thing alone – technology over Internet.Those politicians who failed to guard the hen house and have overlooked the fox network that has stolen the industrial perhaps of America is in a very rude awakening. Imagine a complete cleansing of the policy for all dishonesty.What would America be if we had honesty in government and is that even possible? For every man, woman and child on earth has the military industrial financial media complex government created $ 30,000 in interest bearing debt which will never be repaid.The debt you have been co-opted will simply collapse in value as it is now collapsing because it has become too corrupt for people to trust the full faith and credit in the U.S. and say "In God we trust" just does not cut it with people who do not mix their gods with their monies.Only when the economy is removed from politics, common sense will return to the issue of free and transparent economy.

They are lifting their personal desires for short-term and seriously looking at the long term of their participation in what has become a dead-end form of capitalism.Money created out of thin air by credit card issuers, banks, savings and loans and investment banks with interest at the overhang, are disappearing much faster than the nine decades it took to create 500 trillion dollars in high interest global debt securities, most of which are derivative instruments that have no value whatsoever, and no guarantees behind them al. Hyper inflation is no longer a threat, it has become a reality that foreign central banks are slowly starting to realize must come to an end lest their own economies suffer and collapse faster than America is in a state of equality in this moment. arrogance of America has led to corruption, not only in America but in Japan, Germany, Britain and India. The unrest in the Middle East is fomented by this corrupt Octodragon to paralyze the global economy.Many more trillions in funds electronically distributed in the global financial system, borrowed from banks which have set a decade long artificial boom in global stock markets, global real estate prices but with real wages and salaries artificially low, will lose 80 trillion dollars in value over the next few months, and none of it will ever be repaid. That is how fast it really happens if you do not have noticed.Over the past decade over 50 trillion dollars in inflated values have disappeared back into the thin air from which they originate and in the last 24 months have been restored twice out of thin air through the actions of the financial military industrial government media complex. The cycle of boom and bust can not be controlled no matter how hard politicians, lawyers and bankers try.The world will never be free and fully democratic as long as we continue to subscribe to the old way of creating money, which has served its purpose, but which has been functionally obsolete.America been a third world nation in the global scheme of unity, peace and harmony. America is the bad boy on the planet earth and have been me but it's name is mud.No American can stand up and honestly cry – "I am an honest man" … this is how pervasive the corruption in America has become. The big joke among foreigners living in America and see what really happens is that they know Americans can not see from their own blindness, because they have a log jam of wealth in their eyes – wealth is illusory, short-sighted and superficial so quickly that you better get your money in and out ear before its too late.There is no nation on earth that can say that their money is backed by nothing more than trust and confidence games of sovereign nations is rapidly crumbling as power Internet training for those who want to know what is really going on.You 've got a lot of moronic people called bankers running around creating pieces of electronic paper out of thin air – calling it money and then move the earth, moon and stars to maintain this illusion. bankers hire lawyers to create a government that marshals people believe that war and just reason to kill others is a good thing, and they are used as fun tools to take over foreign countries, kill innocent women and children, and destroy the meek who seek a peek at peace.The bankers rule the government, defend and attack with its military power, controlling all weapons including your local neighborhood gun dealers, they fund all research and development driving out independent thought and inventions or buy them up so they are not used to destroy what they already have established and maintain the illusion with clever advertising, public relations gimmicks and staged events like 911 to keep all in check, on line, ignorant and under the influence of the Octodragon.Stakeholders are both diluted and deluded, after which they yell foul and blow their whistles far and wide. Diluted in the sense that companies go bankrupt liquidate convert their debt into shares held by banks and financiers, who in turn restructure and refloat their stocks to the unwary invest public.All companies are really contrivance of the legal imagination. Bankers and lawyers invented them as tools of capitalism and gave them "person hood" so they can be sued, but an individual may not represent a company in the German courts, unless they are admitted to practice at the American Bar Association. Is not it a great interest Mr. Attorney General in the U.S.? Who does this ruling really benefit? All investors are remarkable in the sense that there is a constant promotion of false value in terms of currency prices relative to earnings. The value is not determined by real evaluations of the net present value worth, but by hype and political circumstances. Despite efforts to get back to fundamental principles, Wall Street is still trying to sell Main Street on the idea that we can all get back to business as usual.This time it is not happening. Banker's heads are rolling in the streets as the common man wakes up to the fact that these people are neither more nor less than the most advanced professional organized crime syndicate in the world. If ever there was a mafia, the bankers are it.Those to get in early, at the behest of investment banks tend to come out early. This is the essence of capitalism. The greater fool theory. The international derivatives market is a perfect example of passing the buck (risk) to the next major fool.Unfortunately music is dead, so Bye Bye – Miss American Pie, the levy in New Orleans broke with my Chevy being chased by the Court Jester who stole my crown, but the tax is now dry as Bye Bye Miss American Pie.Entire global corporate legal profession is under fire for fraud as a result of whistle blowers who have sought to achieve "get out of jail free card", such as the group of lawyers recently fired from the U.S. Justice Department, one is being fired at the SEC and former lawyers who worked for Milberg and Weiss, a single corporate suits happy dark suitable law firm that took advantage of giant holes in the financial system by companies and banks and sucked 45 billion dollars in cash out of market.Where all those lawyers spent or invested the money is anyone's guess, but if these lawyers made that much money, why not pay down the national debt?
