Are George Soros, The IMF And The World Bank Purposely Trying To Scare The Living Daylights Out Of Us?

Over the past couple of weeks, George Soros, the IMF and the World Bank have all issued incredibly chilling warnings about the possibility of an impending economic collapse.  Considering the power and the influence that Soros, the IMF and the World Bank all have over the global financial system, this is very alarming.  So are they purposely trying to scare the living daylights out of us?  Soros is even warning of riots in the streets of America.  Unfortunately, way too often top global leaders say something in public because they want to "push" events in a certain direction.  Do George Soros and officials at the IMF and World Bank hope to prevent a worldwide financial collapse by making these statements, or are other agendas at work?  We may never know.  But one thing is for sure - many of the top financial officials in the world are using language that is downright "apocalyptic", and that is not a good sign for the rest of 2012.

The United Nations Wants To Crash The World Economy In Order To Save The Environment

The United Nations says that the earth is in great danger and that the way you and I are living is the problem.  In a shocking new report entitled, "Resilient People, Resilient Planet: A Future Worth Choosing" the UN declares that the entire way that we currently approach economics needs to be changed.  Instead of focusing on things like "economic growth", the UN is encouraging nations all over the world to start basing measurements of economic success on the goal of achieving "sustainable development".  But there is a huge problem with that.  The UN says that what we are doing right now is "unsustainable" by definition, and the major industrialized nations of the western world are the biggest culprits.  According to the UN, since we are the ones that create the most carbon emissions and the most pollution, we are the ones that should make the biggest sacrifices.  In addition, since we have the most money, we should also be willing to finance the transition of the developing world to a "sustainable development" economy as well.  As you will see detailed in the rest of this article, the United Nations basically wants to crash the world economy in order to save the environment.  Considering the fact that the U.S. and Europe are in the midst of a horrible economic crisis and are already drowning in debt, this is something that we simply cannot afford.

Europeans first victims of sanctions against Iran

The head of Italy’s refiners’ lobby, Mr. Piero de Simone, has revealed that Italy is preparing to close five refineries because of the European Union’s unilateral sanctions against Iran and the boycott of its oil resources.

US turns the page towards new wars

Behind the Pentagon’s budget cuts

The recent announcement that US military spending is set to grow at a slower pace and that ground troops will not fight in more than one major war at once was welcomed by many. However, according to Manlio Dinucci, it is all smoke and mirrors: the incremental outsourcing of conflicts to vassal states, the black budgets for intelligence agencies and the expanded use of technological warfare hardly foreshadow a scaling down in the number of Pentagon-run theaters of wars.

"We’re turning the page on a decade of war: this is what President Obama said during a press conference on 5 January at the Pentagon, while presenting his new strategy, with Defense Secretary Leon Panetta. The armed forces will be "leaner," allowing for budget cuts of 450 billion dollars over ten years. The propaganda message is clear: in times of crisis, even the armed forces have to tighten their belt. Does it mean that the Pentagon disarming? Not at all: it will rationalize the use of resources to render its war machine even more efficient.

THE RON PAUL'S DOLLAR



by Ron Paul
The Federal Reserve’s interest rate price-setting board, the FOMC, met last week. They will continue to set the federal funds rate at well below 1%, and plan to keep it low until the end of 2014. That’s a year and half longer than they planned when they met just last month. Chairman Bernanke says they are keeping interest rates so low for so long because the economic outlook warrants it.

An Introduction to Anarchism

An Introduction to Anarchism


Anarchism has, needless to say, a very bad name. Representatives of the establishment and reporters in the mass media habitually use it as an insult, or as a description of any condition of disorder or widespread violence. This is true even when turmoil or terrorism is the result of individuals or groups who have absolutely no relation to the anarchist movement or by states which are, in essence, precisely what anarchism seeks to abolish.

Obama’s dishonest energy promise

Despite pledge, government hasn’t allowed drilling on 97 percent of coast

President Obama’s ambiguous call to “open” 75 percent of the country’s potential offshore oil and natural gas resources to exploration may sound generous, but the truth is, the areas containing those resources are technically already included in the upcoming 2012 to 2017 offshore leasing plan, and they are virtually the same areas where exploration and production have been allowed for decades.

A new survey shows that Barack Obama is the most polarizing president in the last 60 years. As divisive as he is, the current occupant of the White House has simply exacerbated a trend towards disunity that has been developing for years.

Trump endorses Romney

LAS VEGAS — After repeatedly flirting with his own presidential bid last year, business tycoon Donald Trump on Thursday picked someone else as his stand-in, endorsing fellow businessman Mitt Romney.
Mitt is tough, he’s smart, he’s sharp. He’s not going to allow bad things to continue to happen to this country we all love,” Mr. Trump said at his resort, the Trump International Hotel Las Vegas. “Governor Romney, go out and get ‘em. You can do it.”

Gary Becker & Immigration: The price of entry – The Economist

North Africans risk their lives to try to cross the Mediterranean to southern Europe. Mexicans pay “mules” to get them across the border with the United States. Afghans camp outside Calais in filthy surroundings, waiting to cross into Britain. Everywhere, it seems, there are people trying to get into another country. Even those who seek to move legally in order to work face huge barriers to entry in certain countries. People on work visas account for 70% of legal migrants to Germany, for instance, but only 5.6% of those entering America, the original land of opportunity. Most of the rest get in because a member of their family is already in the country. America’s annual quota of visas for the highly skilled can run out in a matter of weeks. More people want to move to rich countries than are able to.
