It seems IMF and the World/USA Bank will not be what they have been. Luckily Latin America already started, already 3-4 years ago, their own South American Bank. I am sure Africa is struggling for something similar, despite Nigeria, etc and all their alien oil. == booktv.org (hmm, not archived at this time in his-story??) Confessions of an Economic Hit Man Author: John Perkins About the Program From 1971 to 1981 John Perkins worked as a chief economist for Chas. T. Main, a Massachusetts-based international strategic consulting firm. During this time Mr. Perkins said his job was to trick developing countries into taking enormous loans from the World Bank in order to construct or repair their domestic infrastructure. These loans were given with the understanding that these countries would then use those loans to pay U.S. corporations to complete these constructing and engineering projects. The author writes that when these developing countries were eventually unable to pay off these sizable debts, the United States, World Bank, or IMF would step in and control the country's security arrangements and budgetary structure. --- booktv.org (this one is archived and alive on CSPAN, plus more on YouTube) After Words: Naomi Klein author of "The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism" interviewed by Franklin Foer, editor of The New Republic Watch now! About the Program In "The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism" Naomi Klein argues that in the wake of natural and manmade devastation economic reform is introduced to benefit investors and free market advocates while taking advantage of moments of collective disorientation. Ms. Klein focuses her criticism on Milton Friedman and the Chicago School of Economics, which she posits assisted in creating a model for the "shock doctrine" and presents examples for her argument by profiling the current situations in Iraq and New Orleans. Naomi Klein is interviewed by Franklin Foer, editor of The New Republic and author of "How Soccer Explains the World: An Unlikely Theory for Globalization."

"EU leaders", "Gordon Brown". Should be "EMU Leaders" and "Illegal EMU-Alien Gordon Brown". Gordon Brown is not really considered a "EU Leader", UK is considered an Illegal EMU-Alien. US media just does not seem to understand that fact, instead they think that Eng-Land is the same as Euro-Land. Note, it seems possible, once again, that Scotland, even Wales will soon join EMU, while Blondon city might have to paddle across the Atlantic to some tropic island. Finland has always promised them free paddles, while Sweden, slightly different strategy, has promised Scotland and Ireland free chainsaws, in case BLondon City paddles too close to their coasts. However, Iceland is a real free-market tradegy and problem, but they know they have to stay paddling where they are, all that oil up their possible sector, deep-ocean, oil under the antartic ice. --- To semi-quote McCain from yesterday.. "Some Illegal Aliens, vigorously paddling for the hope of a better life in a new economy, were yesterday caught by very small coastguards of some small east and west-Tropical Islands. They were promptly sent back to Blondon City and Wall Street"

Sorry, bad swedish mistake, the chainsaws they donated to Ireland were not really functional, at least for many EMU-subsidized bankers in Ireland. Well, maybe still partially succesfully?? Additionally, the Royal Bank of Scotland probably did not even know how to use them in their Royal Board Rooms.. PS These are funny times, I have been waiting for some 30 years, especially if they were not so tragic for many. PS We still have some daily-politics, (county) elections coming up, investments-RnD budgetary, tax-relieving stuff to sort out, the Finno-Brazilian Energy-Forrest-Cutting-Axis and the Cellulosa-Brewing-Business. Brazil and we should now attack Blondon City with Eucalyptus Beer and Ale as well as some lingonberry Vodka.
