An interesting call Marc Faber. >>> " doc marc faber, of boom, doom and gloom report, has explicitly alerted jewish folks to exit usa in his latest writeup, and plainly stated opinion for all to not trust obama. marc is also figuring on eventual usa-started war to divert attention of population, etc etc he is recommending jewish folks to migrate to nations (i guess implicitly asia) where their numbers are so small and not likely to be picked on, as opposed to europe or, i guess, israel due to the neighbors ballsy call of alarm " <<< Very interesting for the US, since the percentage of the population with some jewish ancestery is much higher than most people realize. There are at least 4 groups - 1 Conversos, which are known in academic circle. Many in New Mexico and California. 2. There was extensive immigration for germany, austria, poland etc. in the middle 19th century, and many of these people had already converted or decided immigration was a good time to change names and religeons. About 30% of the US population has at least one German speaking ancestor. Here's an example, former treasury secretary C Douglas Dillion en.wikipedia.org 3. Many of the 20th century refugees decided it would be a good idea to change either before or after immigrating, and there are many people still living under names that were assumed for the purposes of safety. This is pretty well known. 4. Possibly least well known, except for a few scholars of the Revolutionery war period. The were significant numbers of Sephardic Jews in New York, Charleson, and most important, Philadelphia. After a number of years, their names tend to disappear - so they either moved back to Europe, or more likely intermarried with various families, including Main Line families - they probabaly assimilated. Only a little of this shows up in official information. Wikipedia has the standard viewpoint. en.wikipedia.org that would be about 5-7 million Jews in the US., around 2%. The number of people with some possible KNOWN TO THEM Jewish ancestory is maybe 6 to 8 %, maybe even higher...

All of the schemes being implemented by the Fed and the Administration/Congress use injections of more debt to fix the problems which were caused by too much debt in the first place. This will fix the problem in exactly the same way the prior bubbles fixed the problem - delay the ultimate reckoning to a future date. Each time that old tire blows out, patch it with more glue and air it up again, then go cruising back on down the road again. At some point, the "end game to bubbles" is inevitably going to appear and the whole fabric of the financial system will come apart with an explosion that leaves the economy in tatters so small they can't be glued back together. There is no will in Washington or New York or any world capital to actually fix the system. The mentality which got the system into the current mess is still in control. Each time there is a larger disaster, yet the same people go back to the same fixes that got the system into an even more dangerous situation than before. Perhaps one permanent fix will appear somewhere, someday, but it's hard to be optimistic without some kind of radical restructuring of governments.

Marc Faber is losing it. Or he really wants some more clients.

I think Faber is dead wrong. Scapegoats for white anguish will have black skins and/or speak Spanish. Can't see them ganging up on a fairly localized religious minority unless it prays five times a day. Marc doesn't like gold, either. CD
