Why are so many people leaving the United States right now? Over the past couple of years, an increasing number of Americans have decided that moving to another country is the best way to prepare for the collapse of America. According to the U.S. State Department, an all-time record of more than 6 million Americans are now working or studying overseas. Of course many of those that have left [...]

The idea of “education diplomacy” has “really arrived” at the highest levels of American foreign policy, a US State Department official has told an international higher education conference.

From Bloomberg:
Ram Kishen, 52, half-blind and half- starved, holds in his gnarled hands the reason for his hunger: a tattered card entitling him to subsidized rations that now serves as a symbol of India’s biggest food heist.
Kishen has had nothing from the village shop for 15 months. Yet 20 minutes’ drive from Satnapur, past bone-dry fields and tiny hamlets where children with distended bellies play, a government storage facility five football fields long [...]
“The Corzine incident was a beta test implemented by the banking cartel to measure the extent of public and Congressional reaction to overt theft of customer funds, according to Posel”.
“The final coup planned by the bankers involves a bit of deception, a false-flag attack blamed on China, Russia or Iran, maybe, in which the Federal Reserve will initiate a ‘bank holiday’ on a Friday due to a computer ‘virus’ which allegedly threatens [...]

Why Is Corruption So Widespread?
Liberals love Franklin Delano Roosevelt … and conservatives hate him.
But both liberals and conservatives are inspired by the wise, non-partisan words of the supreme ass-kickerTeddy Roosevelt:
Political parties exist to secure responsible government and to execute the will of the people. From these great tasks both of the old parties have turned aside. Instead of instruments to promote the general welfare they have become the tools of corrupt interests, which use them impartially [...]
An academic CFO survey finds 20% of US public companies lie on their corporate earnings report while 10% admit their earnings per share are ‘fixed’.
Thanks to ENRON the United States now refuses to prosecute “white collar” financial crimes committed by the likes of Wall Street Banks and public companies traded on the stock exchanges.
Knowing if they get caught, the worse that will happen is a multi-million golden parachute in the [...]

Since it is the modern Greece, which seemed unverrückbarste truth to be that politicians are corrupt and will never be punished for it.
Then came the crisis, and it changed everything. By halving the salaries and pensions of many of the people’s anger [...]
Just out from Bloomberg, where we find that our own corrupt politicians have just discovered that gambling went on for years and years, and nobody had the faintest clue!

The Euro is creaking and making funny noises. Lloyds of London – who have a pretty good ear to perceive impending disasters – says the insurance market is preparing for the Euro’s collapse and is trying to reduce its exposure as much as possible.

The chief executive of the multi-billion pound Lloyd’s of London has publicly admitted that the world’s leading insurance market is prepared for a collapse in the single currency and has reduced its exposure “as much as possible” to the crisis-ridden continent.
Richard Ward said the London market had put in place a contingency plan to switch euro underwriting to multi-currency settlement if Greece abandoned the euro.

Could gaining control of the Central Bank of the Islamic Republic of Iran (CBI) be one of the main reasons that Iran is being targeted by Western and Israeli powers? As tensions are building up for an unthinkable war with Iran, it is worth exploring Iran’s banking system compared to its U.S., British and Israeli counterparts.
Some researchers are pointing out that Iran is one of only three countries [...]

Could Sicily Provide the World with a Mass Revolt Template Against Endemic Corruption?

On January 16th, middle class Sicilians began a popular uprising appropriately called the ‘Pitchfork Movement’…’Movimento Dei Forconi’.
There are shades of the Occupy movement within it, but the core is not dissatisfied unemployed youth with no property or businesses to lose.
They are middle aged and older. They know that what they have left has been targeted by their own elites to bear the economic pain.
The other difference [...]

Over the past few months, I have written several articles dealing with the coming cashless society and the developing technological control grid. I also have written about the surge of government attempts to gain access to and force the use of biometric data for the purposes of identification, tracking, tracing, and surveillance.
Unfortunately, the reactions I receive from the general public are almost always the same. While [...]
When it comes to corruption, cronyism and general muppetry in Washington D.C., the only real question is ‘where does one start?‘ Yet one has to start somewhere to conclude with a list of the ten most corrupt and despicable marionettes in D.C. Which is precisely what JudicialWatch has done in its annual compilation of the “Top 10 Most Corrupt Politicians in Washington D.C.” for 2011. And confirming what everyone knows, [...]

In Chicago, it’s the sale of parking meters to the sovereign wealth fund of Abu Dhabi. In Indiana, it’s the sale of the northern toll road to a Spanish and Australian joint venture. In Wisconsin it’s public health and food programs, in California it’s libraries. It’s water treatment plants, schools, toll [...]

The USA as a world leader no longer exists. ABC, NBC and CBS news might give that impression but reality tells a different strory. The USA still has some economic clout because things do not change that quickly but the power of the USA reached a tipping point when George Bush was President and “globalization” (which rewards a only a few) came into being. That’s not to say [...]

You will see a true revolution when the American people demand the truth. You will see a revolution when the American people stop electing career corrupt politicians into office. You will see a revolution when the financial media finally wakes up and realizes that for the first time, maybe we aren’t as great as we thought we were.
For example, our trade balance with the [...]
Gee what is he going to say??????? People are not BS’ed by this phony, just like smooth talker Obama….when ever I listen to Obama, I still need to pinch myself.
That is kind of sad. As an economist, you forecast growth and then support it with facts. Either pro growth or pro double dip recession. Bernanke continues to say “best guess” because he hasn’t a clue on the economy. Just lick [...]
Dylan Ratigan, joined by the inimitable Alan Grayson and Bill Fleckenstein, does one of the best comprehensive summations of the where we are, how we got here, and why those responsible for the upcoming US default are still doing exactly what they were doing, through the enabling of the Federal Reserve. The logical question arises: when will someone finally do something about the situation the US is in right now? [...]
Oh goody we have sent in the savior, the IMF! Time to crack open the champagne because there is NO need to worry. This is the entire problem with the GLOBAL ECONOMY. The world has spent like drunken sailors, the world has spent all they can spend, bought above their means, lived off credit, lied about liabilities, lied about spending, say they have sound financial book for years, covered everything [...]
