The euro has become another "subprime" currency, afflicted by debts, funny bookkeeping, regulatory failure and widespread street protests in Greece and Spain. It's ironic that more violence-prone Americans didn't hit the streets, and throw rocks, when their living standards were sliced dramatically. Not yet anyway. |
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.

The current crisis is not merely a failure of the US housing bubble,
that is but a symptom of a much wider and far-reaching problem. The
nations of the world are mired in exorbitant debt loads, as the
sovereign debt crisis spreads across the globe, entire economies will
crumble, and currencies will collapse while the banks consolidate and
grow. The result will be to properly implement and construct the
apparatus of a global government structure. A central facet of this
is the formation of a global central bank and a global currency.
The people of the world have been lulled into a false sense of
security and complacency, living under the illusion of an economic
recovery. The fact remains: it is only an illusion, and eventually,
it will come tumbling down. The people have been conned into handing
their governments over to the banks, and the banks have been looting
and pillaging the treasuries and wealth of nations, and all the
while, and making the people pay for it. 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
