Economic Expert Says Global Crash Imminent

Stiglitz warned that the signs were there with plummeting real estate prices in the U.S., stating that a global economic depression could only be avoided if a correction was made.

But no correction will be made because the World Bank/IMF/Globalist doctrine betrays a focused agenda to deliberately foment economic turmoil, riots, and then enforced bondage to eternal debt. We have witnessed this time and time again, their own documents even confirm this as the chosen method of social control.

The shareholders of Federal Reserve, part of the same group of elite families that owns the bank of England, created the IMF and World bank to siphon government funds. Then they effectively steal the real assets of the third world countries that take their loans in some cases at 42% interest. These global loan sharks secure the water, power and roads which are then handed over to private, piratical, letter of mark companies.

I J NOTE: We have been preaching this exactly for years, just as thousands of others have. Maybe now that a person with high level credentials has said it, someone may listen and believe it.

Coup D'Etat Rumblings in Venezuela

The Bush administration tried and failed three prior times to oust Hugo Chavez since its first aborted two-day coup attempt in April, 2002. Through FOIA requests, lawyer, activist and author Eva Golinger uncovered top secret CIA documents of US involvement that included an intricate financing scheme involving the quasi-governmental agency, National Endowment of Democracy (NED), and US Agency for International Development (USAID). The documents also showed the White House, State Department and National Security Agency had full knowledge of the scheme, had to have approved it, and there's little doubt of CIA involvement as it's always part of this kind of dirty business. What's worrying now is what went on then may be happening again in what looks like a prelude to a fourth made-in-Washington attempt to oust the Venezuelan leader that must be monitored closely as events develop.

America's Invisible Empire

The American imperial empire has remained largely invisible: only very recently have Americans just begun to learn about their imperial history. But information about empire is fragmented and extensively filtered and the American public remains by and large unaware of the reality and costs of empire. Until empire is placed on the public agenda, it can never be effectively criticised or made an object of basic policy change. David Ludden

Suffer the Children

Number of children dying higher than when the country was under sanctions.

By Hind al-Safar in Baghdad

11/16/07 "ICR" No. 237, 16-Nov-07 -- Child mortality in Iraq has spiralled because of the tense security situation, deteriorating health services and lack of medical supplies, say experts.

According to a report released in May 2007 by aid agency Save the Children, “Iraq’s child mortality rate has increased by a staggering 150 per cent since 1990, more than any other country.”

The report, entitled State of the World’s Mothers 2007, said that some 122,000 Iraqi children - the equivalent of one in eight - died in 2005, before reaching their fifth birthday. More than half of the deaths were among newborn babies in their first month of life.

IJ NOTE: There is no doubt by any rational, half intelligent person that this suffering is caused by the US obsession with oil as a means to live the American Dream and remain world superpower.

Knowing that, take a look around you right now and just try to find one item in the room which was not created or delivered by the use of oil. Now, who`s fault is it that these Iraqi kids are suffering and dying???

A better question; What are you going to do about it???

Paying The Price: Killing The Children Of Iraq

Sanctions enforced by the UN on Iraq since the Gulf War have killed more people than the two atomic bombs dropped on Japan in 1945, including over half a million children - many of whom weren't even born when the Gulf War began.

The Assassination of Hugo Chavez. By Greg Palast

You'd think George Bush would get down on his knees and kiss Hugo Chavez's behind. Not only has Chavez delivered cheap oil to the Bronx and other poor communities in the United States. And not only did he offer to bring aid to the victims of Katrina. In my interview with the president of Venezuela on March 28, he made Bush the following astonishing

E*Trade Plunges 59%

It was the latest ride on the roller coaster for a company that helped pioneer online stock trading, soared during the dot-com bubble, then crashed and ousted its chief executive. E*Trade made a comeback in the past few years, but yesterday's trading wiped out $2.2 billion in market value as its stock fell $5.04 to $3.55 on the Nasdaq Stock Market.
