Because the Swedish long ago sold their soul to the banking gods. Remember in WWII, they were the bankers to the Nazis. I think you've got your geography and hystory mixed up. Al

LOL. Because the Swedish long ago sold their soul to the banking gods. Remember in WWII, they were the bankers to the Nazis. They have been the bankers to every nefarious group the world has ever known and they are able to maintain their neutrality as a result. Huh? I think you mean Switzerland. While Sweden was officially neutral, they did all they could to resist the Nazis.....in fact, most of Scandinavia did. When the Germans ordered the Danish Jews to put on the yellow star of David; the Danish king [a non Jew]was one of the first to don the star.

Mindmeld, I admire your posts, your message and the clarity of it and share most of your opinions right on. In this case, however, I kindly ask you to get your geography right: You are mixing up Swedes with the Swiss, Sweden with Switzerland. Taro (a Swedish subject)

RE: "LOL. Because the Swedish long ago sold their soul to the banking gods." Hm...are you sure you're laughing at the correct thing? RE: "Otherwise, the devastation will only be that much greater if we procrastinate." Great. So if your priority is to maximize life and minimize American deaths, then the recent flu virus (H5N1) in Asia should concern you since it has a 70% mortality rate according to WHO. "280 million people in the USA, with 30% infections would give 80 million infections. With 70% mortality, that would give 60 million dead Americans." "That's about 20,000 times as many as 911 which was considered a major upset." Message 20815098 Not only would it kill a lot of Americans, but it would drastically impact our economy and increase deficits even further. How much money is spent on fighting H5N1, since that could kill many millions more than a terrorist attack. Regards, Amy J
