OTTAWA – Canada has officially withdrawn from the Kyoto climate agreement. The death notice comes years after the Stephen Harper government made clear it rejected the terms that were negotiated by the Jean Chretien government in 1997. According to the agreement, Canada would reduce its greenhouse gases 6% below 1990 levels by 2012. Environment Minister Peter Kent pointed to the fact the United States and China – the two largest carbon emitters – [...] In a shocking repudiation of President Obama’s “soak the rich” economic plans, Senate Democrats today blocked a vote on President Obama’s proposal to raise taxes on those earning more than $250,000 per year. Senate Republicans had proposed an immediate vote on the measure. In fact, they proposed two votes: one to extend the Bush tax cuts in their totality, the other to raise taxes as per Obama’s plan. “My recommendation [...] by Jim Sinclair in the category General Editorial | Print This Post | Email This Post My Dear Friends, One thing I am sure of is that the majority opinion on the destiny of the euro is wrong.

JPM initial loss is really $3B (they are using using after-tax losses trick) Lots of questions, and unfortunately, answers, from Credit Suisse in this Q&A on the Greek default/restructuring, much of it already covered previously, but the only one that matters is this: “Would the restructuring make the Greek situation sustainable? No. Sorry, but no is the answer.Even with full repudiation of the Greek debt, the situation would not be sustainable.

Following the decision to go for PSI, and the possibility of a sovereign leaving the Euro-zone (Greek referendum ultimatum), money is no longer fungible in and across European banks (deposits) and sovereigns as it seeks the stability of a [...] by ZH The European desperation is palpable ahead of the EURUSD open in a few hours, which has to deal with the aftermath of the Friday afternoon downgrade of Belgium, the junking of Portugal and Hungary, and the prospect of an imminent downgrade of AAA-stalwarts Austria and France. So what does Europe do instead of actually proposing the inevitable debt repudiation that is the only and final outcome? Why more rumors [...] Sartre The American Revolution, in no small part, was a repudiation of the central banking tyranny exported to the New World by the Bank of England. Few legacies have grown more despotic than the consequences of living under the rule of fractional reserve banking. Many good willed conservatives understand that the system is imploding.
