INSTANT VIEW - Russia sets debt restructure NEW YORK, Aug 25 (Reuters) - Following are comments from U.S. economists after Russia announced it would restructure its Treasury bills into three-year to five-year rouble debt, yielding 20 to 30 percent. The restructuring will take place between August 26 and September 26, according to a Russian Finance Ministry statement. MATTHEW SHERWOOD, RUSSIAN ANALYST WITH PLANECON INC.: ''This is within the ballpark of what we expected. I know the people who were holding the GKOs would like to see better terms but it is good that they are not discriminating against foreign investors. Russian debt is going to be hurt by this for a long time because a default will be in the backs of people's minds.'' GRETCHEN RODKEY, VICE PRESIDENT AND SOVEREIGN BOND ANALYST, BEAR STEARNS & CO.: ''It is somewhat along the lines of what markets expected in terms of maturity and denomination of currency. Most importanly, it forbids trading of paper until maturity. This prevents foreigners from switching out of paper and changing roubles into dollars.'' PAUL DICKSON, SOVEREIGN BOND ANALYST, LEHMAN BROTHERS INC.: ''If these new instruments are not allowed to trade, it's pretty negative for the market. It's too early to assess the whole package as yet.'' SONJA GIBBS, CHIEF STRATEGIST FOR EMERGING EUROPE AT NOMURA INTERNATIONAL IN LONDON: ''It is quite likely to be a disappointment to many who have been waiting for this announcement. The coupon on the rouble paper is fairly low relative to most expectations and certainly the maturity on the dollar paper and the very low coupon does not add up to a very attractive package.''

Hello Bobby: How are ya? You are correct to think that huge money controls the world. I have attached an editorial that you are well aware. For those who might not have read the attachment or are not even aware of what is really happening in the world today it could shed some light and I might add food for thought. Good Dayyyyyy Ronald PS: Just another perspective worth exploring. Perhaps the reasons for current of price GOLD is more illusive than one would like to admit... IMHO THE TRILATERAL COMMISSION > > > >THE TRILATERAL COMMISSION >ELITE PLANNING FOR >WORLD MANAGEMENT > > > >Several years ago in _World Monitor_, Zbigniew Brzezinski wrote a most provocative article entitled "Power and Morality," wherein he evaluates is the role the United States would play in foreign affairs in the post-Soviet world. What makes this article revealing is the decidedly amoral approach he applies to dividing up the new world order into "power clusters." > >Brzezinski told us then what the ruling classes want. This creed of an international ruling class is power and and the locus of that power is the mulitnational corporation. > >It isn't a conspiracy. It is out in the open. It is a guide to furthering the goals of the economic elite. And, it is what they intend to do. > >In 1973 the Trilateral Commission was founded by David Rockefeller [Chas Manhattan Bank chairman], Zbigniew Brzezinski [Carter's national security advisor], and other likeminded private citizens. They formed a commission of about 300 members of international business, banking, government, etc., for whom international free enterprise is gospel, the purpose of which is to establish a New World Order with these so called "power clusters." > >The Trilateralists look forward to an age in which social, economic, and political values originating in trilateral regions are transformed into universal values and expanding networks of like-minded government officials, businessmen, and technocarats are to carry out national and international policy formation. It also means profit would remain the force behind efficiency although it would be cloaked in the rhetoric of increasing productivity and enhancing the social welfare--though the latter is secondary to the primary objective of make the rich richer. As with any social contract, there would be only enough social welfare to keep the populations of these various nationalities manageable. > >Brzezinski sums it up like this: "....Self-assertion must be awareness that social life is both objectively and subjectively too complex to be periodically redesigned according to utopian blueprints. The dogmatic certainties of the modern age must yield to the recognition of the human condition." What the Trilateralists are doing is a manipulation of social/economic conditions by selfish special ruling classes and thus establishing global human conditions which favor the privileged. > >The certitudes of Brzezinski and company, who proposes and disposes is that the Trilateralists are making all the decisions, and no other comprehensive blueprints and bit by bit the plan is for the trilateral design to take shape. It's functional components are to be adopted piecemeal, lessening the chance that people will grasp the overall scheme and organize resistance. > >This "peacemeal functionalism" is part of the Trilateral Commission's "broad global strategy for the management of interdependence." [TOWARD A RENOVATED INTERNATIONAL SYSTEM, Brzezinski]. > >The managers of dependence will be the "TRANSNATIONAL ELITE" which is how Brzezinski describes them and they will be composed mostly of international businessmen and politicians. And you were worried about your civil liberties before? >
