Despite bailouts, Fannie & Freddie continue to lose billions
Close to 3,000 banks are currently classified as having a risky concentration of commercial real estate loans, according to a recent report by the Congressional Oversight Panel (COP). All of them are small to mid-sized banks, already weakened by the financial crisis.

As you shall see below, there is no way in the world that Barack
Obama should have ever said that ‘a second depression is no longer a
possibility’. In fact, as the U.S. financial system continues to
crumble, it is likely that those words will be exploited by his
political adversaries again and again. If you are a politician and
you are going to issue a guarantee, you had better be able to deliver
the goods. In this case, Obama is making a promise that defies all of
the economic data.

EARTHQUAKE IN CHILE Complete Coverage
TALCA, Chile — One of the strongest earthquakes ever recorded struck Chile on Saturday, toppling homes, collapsing bridges and plunging trucks into the fractured earth. A tsunami threatened every nation around the Pacific Ocean – roughly a quarter of the globe.
Chileans near the epicenter were tossed about by the magnitude-8.8 quake as if shaken by a giant. At least 147 people were killed, according to Carmen Fernandez, director of the National Emergency Agency.
The 24-strong bloc of Latin American states known as the Rio Group is to join the Caribbean Community to form a new trade body intended to present opposition to US dominance. What can it really hope to achieve?
In an article for the March/April issue of Foreign Affairs ‘Complexity and Collapse: Empires on the Edge of Chaos’, due out
later this week, author and historian Niall Ferguson posits that the
life cycles of great powers might not follow the long–accepted
pattern of gradual rise and fall. Rather, he says, ‘it is possible
that this whole conceptual framework is, in fact, flawed’, and that
empires fall quickly and without warning. With that in mind, Ferguson
explores what it might mean for the geopolitical status quo.
ECOLOGICAL INTELLIGENCE: DO HUMANS HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO SURVIVE?But ensuing centuries have blunted the survival skills of the billions of individuals who live amid modern technologies. Career
pressures drive us to master hyperspecialized expertise and in turn
to depend on other specialists for tasks beyond our realm. Any of us
may excel in a narrow range, but we all depend on the skills of
experts–farmers, software engineers, nutritionists, mechanics – – to make life work for us. We no longer can rely on our astute attunement to
our natural world nor the passing on through generations of the local
wisdom that lets native peoples find ways to live in harmony with
their patch of the planet. "Most Credible" Climate Skeptic Revealed to Receive Funding from Big Polluters
JOHN MICHAEL GREER: ENERGY FOLLOWS ITS BLISS Industrial civilization is a complicated thing, and its decline and
fall bids fair to be more complicated still, but both rest on the
refreshingly simple foundations of physical law. Thats crucial to
keep in mind, because the raw emotional impact of the unwelcome
future breathing down our necks just now can make it far too easy to
retreat into one form or another of self-deception.
