Haiti has been in a serious mess for decades thanks to the USA & France specially
Colonial nonsense from the French has permitted Papa Doc & the others too!
They not just permit the plunder of past Charity Funds but allot more! &
people,even the UN has not delivered & have been there ages ? like Africa up to nonsense behavior ?
So now we have a man made / oh so sorry natural disaster, but then stupid Evangelical US groups think to the contrary!!
A disaster & now the Airport is choked because the Global Media, with suppsoed International Charity Groups must play out its Global circus entertainment ?
As a quote on a media Live blog says’s ‘Haiti consul in Sao Paulo’ says ‘it will put the place on the map!’ ( so good point for the crises)
GEE WIZ WHAT a comment ! & what is Haiti doing with a consul in Sao Paulo
& why so many Brazilian UN personnel, in this tiny island
Dominican on the same island is a playboy jet set place also full of many undesirable practises.
Now we have charity planes & the rest,landing there too, as no space in Port du Prince !!
LIKE the banking Crises & the lies & what
we still do not know & how much Central bankers engineered the problem,
as with the Fed making 45 Billion,
adds more weight to this argument that started with the convenient demise of Lehman !
so Bankers Lie and Lie for serious rewards !! Like Top notch lawyers / accountants etc
Politicians Lie, etc
Charity Groups we know are not correct look at Africa & places like Niger for starters !
convenient kaos ! & media irresponsibility once again rules as it is relatively cheap entertainment and people like guts bodies & tears !

So let’s review:
1. The Fed is privately owned.
Its shareholders are private banks. In fact, 100% of its shareholders are private banks. None of its stock is owned by the government.
2. The fact that the Fed does not get “appropriations” from Congress basically means that it gets its money from Congress without congressional approval, by engaging in “open market operations.”
Here is how it works: When the government is short of funds, the Treasury issues bonds and delivers them to bond dealers, which auction them off. When the Fed wants to “expand the money supply” (create money), it steps in and buys bonds from these dealers with newly-issued dollars acquired by the Fed for the cost of writing them into an account on a computer screen. These maneuvers are called “open market operations” because the Fed buys the bonds on the “open market” from the bond dealers. The bonds then become the “reserves” that the banking establishment uses to back its loans. In another bit of sleight of hand known as “fractional reserve” lending, the same reserves are lent many times over, further expanding the money supply, generating interest for the banks with each loan. It was this money-creating process that prompted Wright Patman, Chairman of the House Banking and Currency Committee in the 1960s, to call the Federal Reserve “a total money-making machine.” He wrote:
“When the Federal Reserve writes a check for a government bond it does exactly what any bank does, it creates money, it created money purely and simply by writing a check.”
3. The Fed generates profits for its shareholders.
The interest on bonds acquired with its newly-issued Federal Reserve Notes pays the Fed’s operating expenses plus a guaranteed 6% return to its banker shareholders. A mere 6% a year may not be considered a profit in the world of Wall Street high finance, but most businesses that manage to cover all their expenses and give their shareholders a guaranteed 6% return are considered “for profit” corporations.
In addition to this guaranteed 6%, the banks will now be getting interest from the taxpayers on their “reserves.” The basic reserve requirement set by the Federal Reserve is 10%. The website of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York explains that as money is redeposited and relent throughout the banking system, this 10% held in “reserve” can be fanned into ten times that sum in loans; that is, $10,000 in reserves becomes $100,000 in loans. Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.8 puts the total “loans and leases in bank credit” as of September 24, 2008 at $7,049 billion. Ten percent of that is $700 billion. That means we the taxpayers will be paying interest to the banks on at least $700 billion annually – this so that the banks can retain the reserves to accumulate interest on ten times that sum in loans.
The banks earn these returns from the taxpayers for the privilege of having the banks’ interests protected by an all-powerful independent private central bank, even when those interests may be opposed to the taxpayers’ — for example, when the banks use their special status as private money creators to fund speculative derivative schemes that threaten to collapse the U.S. economy. Among other special benefits, banks and other financial institutions (but not other corporations) can borrow at the low Fed funds rate of about 2%. They can then turn around and put this money into 30-year Treasury bonds at 4.5%, earning an immediate 2.5% from the taxpayers, just by virtue of their position as favored banks. A long list of banks (but not other corporations) is also now protected from the short selling that can crash the price of other stocks

Brown has surrounded himself with YES people ! a sad greedy bunch! with many defects!
So no worry about this attempt to oust him! as his arrogance & STALIN type leadership is no longer required !
So to be sent packing – now , before the General Election is really, right & fitting !!
The Labour Party should be man enough & important enough, individually,to be able to know , for its own Future , it needs to wake up before it is too late! & not go into a battle , which they will lose , unless at least a NEW LEADER is selected ASAP
NO Gays No weirdos & no batchelors who have skeletons etc etc
Lets have a person , who at least appears to have some morals & leadership qualites , some wish to truly lead & can develop a campaign, that will eprmit the majority of the publici, to forgive the past mistakes & maybe give them another chance !!
SO all Labour MPs should think wisely!, before they continue the nonsensenof the last pathetic leadership election ? & also those that are leaving anyway -
should think that the party must be able to put up a credible defence !
& one eyed Brown is not that man, As ex chancellor he has too much damaging baggage !!
WAKE UP LABOUR CHANGE THAT LEADER NOW

The Tiger Year !!
A Tiger Year suggests political instability( plenty of potential problems with elections for starters ! Philippines ! Australia, Uk, Brazil in the Fall! Sweden! Hungary! -ahh this could be an excuse for a further economic problem, to the present !-)
& the likely outbreak of hostilities between former allies arising out of problems that were foresshadowed in the Rat Year. An assassination or impeachment of a political leader leads to a cooling of the global economy .
High -risk speculation is that but something spectacular so we will test March 09 Lows on the indices & go even lower before a possible rebound!
