Arab Revolts Hold Off A Nuclear Sub-Prime Fallout

Top and bottom, or truth and beauty quarks interest nuclear physicists, but the mutually assured destruction of both the top and bottom, namely- both the North and South parts of the global economy. It came very close indeed, programmed and running to schedule right until the end of December 2010.

And So Rationing Begins: ObamaCare vs. Breast Cancer Patients

 

Influenced by the president’s mandate to “bend the health care cost curve,” the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is preparing to deny late-stage breast cancer patients access to the critical, but expensive, life-extending drug Avastin. The FDA wants to “de-label” the drug, a move that would force patients with insurance or Medicare coverage to pay for the drug out of their own pocket in order to survive. Now patients groups are speaking out.
 
Led by the Susan B. Komen Foundation for a Cure, 15 patient advocacy groups have petitioned the FDA to reverse their effort to ration the drug. In a letter to the FDA, Elizabeth Thompson, the organization’s President, expresses concern over the potential negative impact that the FDA’s decision will have on women who are benefiting from Avastin:

Obama-Inspired Chaos

By Oliver North

According to Hillary Clinton, "the safety and well-being of Americans has to be our highest priority." Oh, really?

US Economics: One Big Ponzi Scheme

While Bernie Madoff languishes in jail, bankers continue to profit as the poor lose their homes and hope.

Thank you, Bernie, for breaking your silence - even if you are still clinging to that cover-up mode you adopted since you took the entirety of the blame for your crimes.

What is clear is that ripping off the rich is punished far more severely than ripping off the poor. The lengthy sentence you were given spared countless other greedsters and goniffs from facing the music - what music there is.

Trends Journal Predicted Global Anti-Gov't Protests: What's Next?



KINGSTON, NY, 24 February 2011 — It is a matter of record! The spate of seething, youth-inspired Middle East uprisings that are toppling governments, reshaping the geopolitical landscape and roiling world markets blindsided the world’s intelligence community. 

Not the CIA, Joint Cheifs of Staff or National Security Council saw it coming. Mossad and MI5 missed it! None of the mainstream media’s star-studded stable of scholars, experts and think-tank policy wonks were thinking ahead.  In response to the current Middle East uprisings, gold has broken above $1400 an ounce and Brent Crude climbed to $113 a barrel. There is no end in sight to market volatility. As the violence escalates and expands, the fallout will be felt around the world.

US govt agrees to supply coins to Zimbabwe

(WS) As if Zimbabwe hasn't had enough economic problems in the past decade now they have chosen to hitch themselves to the US Dollar. In the past this would have been no big deal as the US Dollar is the World Reserve Currency, but this is not the past. Someone obviously needs to educate these poor people as to the status of the currency they will be exchanging for. Thanks to "Helicopter Ben's" monetary policy the people of Zimbabwe might be back to pushing their money around in a wheel barrel again before to long.

Zimbabwe survived one hyperinflationary economy, I just hate to think that they are blindly jumping into a sinking ship.
