European Markets Rally
Asian Markets Turn Lower
Uncle Sam Asleep Again
I just sat through Gasland on good old NFLX.
Don’t get me wrong; we need an alternative energy supply, but not if we destroy what has nurtured us into existence.
Any way if you can watch this documentary and still come out kosher on fracking then i think you need your head examined. I will be happy to pay for the medical cost of your psychological evaluation.
I still have to dig for more facts, but i have been down this road before….fact checking usually makes me sick to my stomach.
To be fair i also offer a counter punch most likely paid for by the industry.
As a last comment on this; if the ill results turn out to be entirely true then America has been castrated of any moral decency for his fellow citizens, mother earth, and any fabric of what this country once stood for.

Federal Court Overturns Decision to Allow Patenting of Human Genes
Spending Will Never End
An interesting excerpt from an article that is useless other than this paragraph: Source
“It is no secret that the dollar is going to die, it is a mathematical inevitability. Nothing can stop the ultimate collapse of the dollar. Our monetary system is based on debt and in order for it to work, more debt needs to be created every year in excess of the debt AND interest accrued the year before. If it does not happen, there would be a massive wave of defaults that would suck the system dry in a few weeks. When you truly understand this debt based money, you realize that debt cannot ever be repaid because there would not be 1 dollar in existence. In our sick system, money is created when debt is created. When debt is paid off money is destroyed.”

Comments »Are Global Leaders Equipped to Handle a Crisis ?
Put it at 50/50 for now. On the one hand leaders are aware of getting ahead of any crisis curve; but on the other hand most of the western world is on vacation. When they get back to work they will have less tools on hand.
