by Charles Hugh-Smith If bubbles eventually revert to their starting level, Phase 3–capitulation and a return to pre-bubble prices–still lies ahead for the housing market. Way back in 2006 at the height of the housing bubble, I prepared this chart proposing the housing bubble might exhibit symmetry, i.e. the decline would mirror the rise. I also proposed that the decline would be characterized by phase shifts that corresponded to the decay of whatever [...] By Michael How would you describe an industry that wants to put more Americans in prison and keep them there longer so that it can make more money? In America today, approximately 130,000 people are locked up in private prisons that are being run by for-profit companies, and that number is growing very rapidly. Overall, the U.S. has approximately 25 percent of the entire global prison population even though it only [...] A freezer malfunction at Harvard-affiliated McLean Hospital has severely damaged one-third of the world’s largest collection of autism brain samples, potentially setting back research on the disorder by years, scientists say. An official at the renowned brain bank in Belmont discovered that the freezer had shut down in late May, without triggering two alarms. Inside, they found 150 thawed brains that had turned dark from decay; about a third of them [...] A freezer malfunction at Harvard-affiliated McLean Hospital has severely damaged one-third of the world’s largest collection of autism brain samples, potentially setting back research on the disorder by years, scientists say.

Inside, they found 150 thawed brains that had turned dark from decay; about a third of them [...] Michael, The Economic Collapse Once upon a time, the largest U.S. cities were the envy of the entire world. Sadly, that is no longer the case. Sure, there are areas of New York City, Boston, Washington and Los Angeles that are still absolutely beautiful but for the most part our major cities are rapidly rotting and decaying. Cities such as Detroit, Cleveland, Baltimore, Memphis, New Orleans, St. Louis and Oakland were all [...] Revolutionary film slows down rate of decay keeping food fresh for longer Packaging is bio-degradable and compostable Fruit and vegetables can be kept fresh for double the normal time thanks to a packaging breakthrough by British scientists. A revolutionary film slows down the rate at which fresh produce decays, meaning that ‘best before’ dates can be twice [...] Homeless, abandoned by her parents and once declared a high school dropout, a hardworking 18-year-old has turned her life around earning her acceptance into Harvard University with scholarship this fall. High school graduate Dawn Loggins says her life in Lawndale, North Carolina first started out in decay, among bullying and a broken home surrounded by drug use and squalour before eventual abandonment by her parents. ‘I looked around at my family and I saw [...] Greek youths will be victims for years to come thanks to the austerity being demanded in return for a 130 billion euro bail-out being hammered out. David Blair reports from Athens. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/greece/9094463/A-country-in-decay-Greeces-youth-pay-bitter-price-for-the-wisdom-of-their-elders.html One policy, aimed squarely at the poorest members of the workforce, might serve to symbolise them all: the minimum wage will fall by 22 per cent to Pounds 490 per month, less than half of the Pounds 1,050 equivalent in [...] You might not want to read this article if you have a weak stomach. Most Americans have absolutely no idea what is going on in the dark corners of America, and when people find out the truth it can come as quite a shock. Many of you will not believe some of the things Americans are doing just to survive. Some families are living in sewers and drain tunnels, some [...] via TVR From Bill Mitchell: “Over the last week or so I have been in Europe and talking to all sorts of people. In the streets the decay is clear and I am in a relatively rich part of Europe (Maastricht). Unsold properties are multiplying and the there are lots of shopping space vacant in the main centres. It is very apparent to me but when I ask [...] It’s too early to decide if the “flash mob” is a short-lived phenomenon or part of the growing decay of our society. However, it bears watching, and if you live in an urban area it bears appropriate thinking about and preparing for self-defense. Some harsh sentences for the few convicted would go a long way toward nipping this in the bud, but in Philadelphia’s juvenile [...] The American Dream There is wild disagreement about what is causing it, but what most people can agree on is that there is something fundamentally wrong with America. The fabric of American society just does not seem to be as strong as it used to. In fact, many would argue that society is coming apart at the seams. Corruption and decay seem to be everywhere. I [...] Is the United States “number one”? Many Americans take deep pride in their nation and the truth is that the U.S. has a lot going for it. The United States has the largest economy in the world. The United States also has the most powerful military on the entire planet. The United States has produced most of the greatest movies that the world has ever [...] Well, a Becquerel is a really small amount of radiation – 1 decay per second. 3 Becquerel is a very low level. The trick here is that what matters for health is the total radiation load (rad, rem, Sieverts are units). To convert that you need to know how long the exposure lasts and how long the radioactive iodine atoms are in the thyroid. One thing to keep in [...] by Dogs_In_A_Pile Radiation and contamination are used interchangeably and they are not the same thing, nor are treatment methods. You can receive radiation exposure and not need any contamination control, and you can become contaminated and not need treatment for exposure to radiation. NOTE – I am not saying that if you get contaminated you won’t receive any radiation exposure, because you will. What I am saying [...] by Dogs_In_A_Pile 1. Know what the radionuclide is – is it particulate or is it a gas? there are some radionuclides that exist as a radioactive ga that decay to a radioactive particulate. Just because a gas dissipates doesn’t mean you are safe if you are exposed to an area of particulate that may be stirred up and ingested. 2. Absent knowledge of the specific radionuclide, don’t expose [...] Decay has set in. Yet they are doing a good job falsifying the chart records (we still have a pulse but not strong enough for full recovery yet!), masking the reality with happy talk and diversion, and continuing to pump juice (money) through the circulatory system even though it’s draining out into the reservoirs (banks) below the table. Death, deflation and depression has arrived. There’s not a lot we can do [...] |
