Let’s hope Obama’s defining moment in history remain in India
By Judi McLeod Friday, November 5, 2010 CANADA FREE PRESS
The lure of citizens to keep written diaries recording all manner of things in these bizarre times is compelling.Is it midterm election euphoria that is keeping politicians other than Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann from speaking out against the President Barack Obama Traveling Show set to begin today? This is a storied Trip Among Trips, details of which have gone from bizarre to surrealistic. Along with the 40 planes and 34 warships Obama is taking along with him, comes news of the bomb-proof over-ground tunnel that will be built by American military engineers for Obama to visit the Gandhi museum in Mani Bhavan.The tunnel would be a kilometer long and measure 12ft. by 12ft—enough to let Obama’s cavalcade pass through.(Daily News & Analysis, Nov. 4, 2010).The tunnel would be centrally air-conditioned, fitted with close-circuit television cameras, and will be heavily guarded at every point, including, of course, its entry and exit.A loud and bumptious invasion of the quiet environment that contains the artifacts of a man who dedicated his entire life on Earth to peace.Not since Cleopatra’s elaborate barges along the Nile has royalty travelled in such luxury and style.
The silence from Washington’s House of Representatives right is almost as eerie as the sound of the coconuts being lopped from the trees of Mumbai and the screams of the monkeys being rounded up for this trip of a would-be blue-blood.White House officials have dismissed a claim made by an Indian news outlet that the trip to India would cost $200-million a day, as wildly inflated.Well, how much does it cost to take 40 planes, 34 warships, 3,000 travel companions renting the Taj Mahal Hotel’s 570 rooms, and the rooms of other nearby hotels? Doing the math would come close.The numbers reported in this article have no basis in reality, Tommy Victor, a White House spokesman said.Yet, due to security concerns, the White House was unable to put an actual price tag on the trip.Nor is there any estimate for the remainder of the trip, which includes Indonesia, South Korea, Japan and China.
The timing of the trip is its biggest mystery.
There are those who say Obama departs America still smarting from the loss of Dem seats in Tuesday’s election. India is a long way to go to take the sting out of post-election blues.There are others who claim that Obama’s narcissism protects him from blues about anything.According to the Khaleej Times online, India is brimming with excitement over U.S. President Barack Obama’s four-day maiden visit to the Land of the Mahatma, a man he idolises.And indeed there’s much to look forward to in this summit between the leaders of the world’s oldest and largest democracies. The trip, Obama has said, will be a defining moment in history, helping both nations forge closer ties rooted in common interests and values.Therein lies the most bizarre. Obama, who advocates for the socialization of America does not believe in democracies but in socialist states.Let us hope and pray that any defining moment in history held by Obama does not touch the shores of the United States of America.
White House Lying Again? Where There’s Smoke
By Jerry McConnell Friday, November 5, 2010 CANADA FREE PRESS
Liar, liar pants on fire, should be the mantra of the White House news staff and Robert Gibbs in particular.I know it must be tough to stand there day after day after day trying to smile and joke when the man you’re trying to protect is one of the most accomplished liars since, well, since Bubba Clinton, but the very UN-smooth Gibbs, nicknamed Fibbs, makes it look, and sound, tougher.People can see through his tissue paper thin veneer and nervous little titter while trying to un-squirm his portly body from a tangled web of deceit that he has woven for himself and his boss.
After the disastrous and joltingly injurious to planned excursions into other fantasia for the next two years election, the Big O came on TV the very next day and feigning little or no anxiety, which must have been tearing at the very fiber of his knickers, declared that the new opposition would just have to get together with he and his minions to work things out.At the very least he could have had a few beads of perspiration showing on his upper lip or forehead; but no sweat G. I., Mr. Cool acted as though some minor inconvenience had been presented to him and he was casually brushing it off with the same demeanor that Fibbs, er, Gibbs uses to browbeat uncomfortable press questions.His attitude appeared to be that the elections were no big deal and life would proceed as originally planned. In fact, he went on to talk about his upcoming trip to the Far East as if it were a walk across the street to Lafayette Park. He acted as though he didn’t understand that Mr. and Mrs. Joe Q. Public want the hilariously ridiculous and extravagant spending STOPPED. And his planned trip proves it.FoxNews.com reported online November 04. 2010, by Enn Vogel, that the White House defended the costs of the trip to Asia but failed to even guess-timate the total costs to Mr. and Mrs. Joe Q. Public with Gibbs dismissing a report by Press Trust of India (PTI) that the costs of the Obama entourage to Mumbai and Indonesia (going home, Obie?) would be U. S. $200 million per day!
Vogel reported that Gibbs maintained that he would not go into the actual figure of what it costs. and typically as has become the daily custom of this petty palace of practiced prevarications, he backslid into the tired old incantation of the costs of George W. Bush and others.Don’t know about you, but I am fed up to here with comparisons with George W. Bush; wouldn’t you think that after TWO WHOLE YEARS they could come up with a more current comparison or analogy? Or better yet, IMPROVE on something that George W. Bush did? I guess it is true that the impossible takes a little longer.This so-called business trip for trade purposes presumably (I still think Obie is just going back home to Indonesia) will take one whopping total of helpers to get there and back; and as Vogel states, PTI released the article on the president’s trip on Tuesday and made additional claims that roughly 3,000 people including Secret Service agents, US government officials and journalists would accompany the President.A more recent FoxNews.com report on November 04, 2010 titled, Security Entourage Earning Epic Reputation Ahead of Obama India Visit repeats the information noted above and adds, The president will be accompanied by 40 aircraft, 3,000 people, a fleet of cars and 34 warships, according to a string of blow-by-blow news updates. The Press Trust of India quoted an official in the state of Maharashtra pegging the cost at $200 million a day. Obama’s said to have booked the entire Taj Mahal Palace hotel.This 10-da day trip could cost us taxpayers up to TWO BILLION DOLLARS! That’s $2,000,000,000. On top of all his other profligacies, this man must be mad.THE TAJ MAHAL PALACE HOTEL! 3000 people and FORTY aircraft! He really does believe he is really ROYALTY. UNBELIEVABLE. Small wonder that the image of the “ugly American” is so prevalent around the world and this bum is excessively proliferating it. It makes one wonder if he is not doing it deliberately in order to downgrade the U. S. ever further.
Now you would think that the Indian agency that issued that report would have a pretty good idea of the size of the delegation that would be needing accommodations for food and lodging, but Vogel’s article stated that White House spokesperson Tommy Vietor said, The numbers reported in this article have no basis in reality.The Clinton Administration made famous an old joke about a river in Africa called Denial.Seems the Obama Administration is trotting it out a lot lately itself. We have a Secretary of State and a Secretary of Commerce who I would think would be charged with going on trade missions to stir up trade between the United States and many foreign countries to better balance the income and outgo of commerce. But hey, if the Grand Poobah says he wants to go home, er, on a trade mission to Asia with 2,999 helpers, and 40 aircraft at a cost of $200 million A DAY, I guess that’s the way it is going to be.But it bothers me that those 200 million dollars a day could be put to some very good use right here in the United States helping people who are out of work and whose unemployment compensation checks may soon or already have run out. Instead of ANOTHER vacation for the all-time record holder of presidential vacations, it would be nice if he would stay home and send a business delegation to Asia probably for far less than TWO million dollars a day; don’t you agree?
Response to GOP political slaughter – It’s just a communication and messaging problem By Laurie Roth NOV 4,10
You can’t write this stuff in movies. During the obvious political and American backlash against the Obama and congressional dictatorship, we heard Pelosi saying the Democrats would keep the House, agendas and Health care would continue and Obama and the big vision were just fine. Wasn’t that optimism precious? She should consider becoming a fiction writer. She demonstrates a rare form of understanding with fantasy and creativity. Maybe she should consider a botox franchise.Then we have our aloof and ever so confident commander and chief talking rather curiously of the conservatives in the pre – political slaughter months. We were the empire striking back racists just stressed and angry due to our pressures with the economy Obama just had a communication problem with the American people. It was the messaging strategy that was the problem. Not only has Obama and his wacky progressive (former) heads minimized every tanking poll and anger of the American people, Obama was said to have not even watched or paid attention to election night. I guess Mr. Coolness was above that or had a rock concert to go to. If any of you actually believe Obama didn’t track the elections on that fateful night, then ice cubes grow in hell and my name used to be Laurence.The political backlash against Obama and the progressives in congress couldn’t have possibly been due to any of the following:
1.Forcing the American people to have Government sanctioned Health care insurance or else massive fines and threats from the controlling IRS.
2.Spending and wasting several trillion dollars in stimulus and Health care ‘control dollars.
3.Apologizing for and about America and her real history to leaders all over the world, especially Muslim leaders.
4.Placing nearly 40 czars in place to bypass congress and accountability; only answering to Obama as they plan to control and regulate the snot out of almost every quadrant of American life and business.
5.Showing a continued, lame and late response regarding national security threats i.e. 3 day delay regarding the underwear, Christmas bomber, supporting the building of a 13 story Mosque, promoted and funded by radical Muslims (follow the trail Doug Hagmann exposed on my show), doing a moronic nuclear treaty with Russia, giving billions to terrorist group, Hamas and more.
6.Has continuously insulted conservatives, Christians, Republicans and the growing Tea Party gatherings. We have a juicy potluck of insults were are collecting…..birthers, racists, empire striking back, enemies, domestic terrorists……It just keeps coming.
7.Insisting on the pursuit of Cap and Trade, global warming fantasy, carbon emissions and environmental distortion. Even though science, reality and the American people pointed boldly against this, Obama and the UN wanted the international tax and environmental controls to be put in place. This agenda alone if left would cause America several more trillion dollars in damage and ruination.
8.Obama has lied from day one about trying to fix the economy and creating jobs and relief for the American people. He plans to undo the Bush tax cuts and give everyone a tax increase. There are at least 20 hidden taxes also in the Health care plan.
The list of betrayals and failures by this President and progressives could flood a sea of pages. The bottom line is that the American people have not only noticed the endless insults, lies and betrayals to constitution, our Judeo Christian values and freedoms, we know longer intend to take it, thus the major spankage! As the jobless claims rise even higher according to new U.S. claims for unemployment benefits, our President decides it is a good use of money to take his worshipping and defeated entourage to India for a 3 day visit. 34 war ships are going over to protect his star appeal butt and this will cost all of us 200 million a day. He has requested a fleet of limousines, almost all of his White House staff are also going. They have booked 800 rooms in the Taj and Hyatt Hotels.The bottom line is, other than transforming this country into a socialist/ communist and liberal regime for liberals, he has viewed his experience in the White House as power in entertaining, spending and fun. I have never heard of a President so obsessed with MTV type interviews, concerts and 50 to 100 million dollar vacations for him and Michelle. There has never once been a tinge of a concern about him hanging with the American people as they have really suffered and struggled through this depression/recession, losing jobs and homes as he has kept lying and spending.When brought down, dictators never admit their failures and demise. There will be continued battles, ego and lies with Obama between now and 2012. He will be brought down though. The house cleaning has already begun. New leadership in the House will take care of business backed by the American people.
Conservative agenda after mid term spankage By Laurie Roth NOV 2,10
We have all screamed it, thought it and seen it a million times so far this season. Voter intimidation, voter manipulation, voter cheating and voter heists. The progressive left has been and is desperate in their efforts not to walk the national plank but it is a little late this time. The conservatives have compassionately thrown inner tubes and row boats in the water to save the progressives as they all jump off the ship and return the control to the conservative Captain and his shipmates. Perhaps they can paddle real hard and all ride their tubes to Nowhere Island where they can become environmental experts. Maybe they can pass a carbon emissions tax increase bill for the 23 inhabitants and witch doctors that live there. They should be careful. There are also head hunters.Speaking of Headhunters.Obama just recently called the American people enemies when talking to a Hispanic group. Magically, (as usual) once he threw out the political bomb against the GOP and conservatives, he back peddled in another interview saying he misspoke. It’s a bit late to put the pin back in the insult grenade. Obama and this administration have done nothing but insult Americans for the last two years, from day one….with haughty statements to the GOP, I won and you didn’t.Then there were the shredding machine gifts from Napolitano and Homeland Security, leaked reports calling pro lifers, pro second amendment folks, people who were pro state sovereignty and even returning Vets, as potential domestic terrorists.
These attacks were frontal assaults on the American people while we heard 3 day delays from Obama, distracted by his Hawaiian vacation and golf game, regarding Muslim radical attacks. He finally made a philosophical, late in the game comment or two regarding the Muslim, nearly successful underwear bomber on a plane over Detroit on Christmas. Did I say Muslim terrorist? Obama and his Muslim oriented and philosophical staff made the same kind of idiot comments regarding the Fort Hood shooter Major Nidal Hasan. As America found out and quickly, that Hasan was a radical Muslim, connected with extreme clerics who had also inspired 9/11 hijackers; had email records declaring his radical beliefs and jihad plans with the FBI tracking him for over 1 ½ years…….what do we hear from this brilliant commander and chief? Don’t rush to judgment.What was I thinking to imagine this was yet again another radical Muslim murdering Americans, this time unarmed soldiers in a jihad? Of course, it was a Christian, Scottish Highlander with a bad attitude.
Though we have continuously seen pauses, stalls, changes of war terms to ‘overseas contingency operations’ and bold support for building a mosque at ground zero, there are no pauses whatsoever when it comes to slamming and lying about conservatives in America. We are the enemies.Just last month, other than being enemies and racists, we were the empire striking back. I’m a person most acquainted with being called names by the progressive left on my national radio show. Since liberals seem to be morally and mentally compromised about priorities, truth and morals, I understand as a Ph.D. in counseling their rush to Saul Alinsky tactics and slander.My personal favorite name I was called on air months ago was the antichrist.That comment shocked me so all I could think to say was, that is Dr. antichrist to you.Sometimes titles are most important.The nation has spoken this election cycle and leadership is historically changing, now in the hands of the ‘enemies’ Obama and the left so hate. Sorry…..see your therapist.
Now what can and must we see from the Conservatives?
Really fix the economy – Don’t play more tax and spend games.
Reinstate Bush tax cuts and offer more financial tax cut incentives for all.
Destroy and completely eliminate the Obama care Health care bill.
This means defund, challenge, repeal or whatever other bold legal recourse is available to the conservatives to stop this unconstitutional, unaffordable nightmare. It was designed to overwhelm the Health care system and American people so that we would desperately and happily run to a ready made and planned Government Health care system. We aren’t the ones running anymore. From where I am looking, I can see a lot of flabby, out of shape liberal booties running to and from Obama, the king. The Democrats don’t know quite what to do now as they watch their messiah sinking in political quick sand, surrounded by his toys, cap and trade, Obama care and stimulus plans, also sinking. Democrats are desperately asking themselves, do we get behind Obama, Hillary or someone else in 2012? Who are we and what do we do now? So much therapy needed……so little time.The GOP must lead with boldness, courage, vision and humility this time. They must keep closely connected with the agenda and goals shared from the American people linked strongly with our constitution, freedoms and Judeo/Christian values. I believe they will with help from the people.

Costa Rica landslide kills 20 people
By Alex Leff – Thu Nov 4, 6:23 pm ET
SAN JOSE (Reuters) – A landslide caused by heavy rain killed 20 people in Costa Rica on Thursday as President Laura Chinchilla considered declaring a national emergency to help the coffee-growing nation deal with widespread flooding.The National Emergency Commission said 15 people remained missing after rains overnight loosened a swathe of Cerro Pico Blanco, a mountain popular with hikers and rock climbers, causing the mudslide that buried poorly constructed houses.Chinchilla told a conference earlier on Thursday the disaster was one of the worst the Central American nation had confronted. It has been a great national tragedy,she said.
Rescuers searched for survivors in San Antonio de Escazu, where shanty homes are mixed in with stately dwellings belonging to foreigners drawn to its trails and wooded areas.Over 1,300 people in the capital and along Costa Rica's Pacific coast were moved to shelters to flee the flooding prompted by rains pelting the country this week.Local media said the rains also damaged a dam in Parrita, close to the Pacific coast, but engineers had trouble reaching the area because of road damage and bad weather.Presidency Minister Marco Vargas said the government might declare a national emergency, which would provide Costa Rica access to funds from the Inter-American Development Bank and the World Bank to help rebuild roads, bridges and homes.Chinchilla has requested neighboring countries help Costa Rican authorities reach remote areas grappling with flooding. She said intense rain was likely to continue.
COFFEE DAMAGE
National Emergency Commission President Vanessa Rosales said the rains may have had damaged several major coffee areas in Costa Rica's highlands. No official figures were available.Ronald Peters, head of national coffee organization Icafe, said weeks of intense rain had hurt roads leading to coffee fields and could delay the harvest in some regions.It is a very concerning situation, he said.Just last month, Icafe cut its forecast for the 2010/11 Costa Rica coffee harvest forecast by 3.5 percent, citing an unusually harsh rainy season.Damp weather has fostered the rapid expansion of the Ojo de Gallo fungus, or Mycena citricolor, which grows on coffee leaves and causes them to fall, exposing the cherries to wind and rain that can make them rot.

Tomas lashes Haiti, leaving six dead
by Clarens Renois - NOV 5,10
PORT-AU-PRINCE (AFP) – Hurricane Tomas lashed Haiti with fierce winds and rain Friday, leaving six people dead. But it appeared to have spared the hundreds of thousands of people who rode out the storm in flimsy tent camps.Rains continued off and on for hours after the storm moved on to Cuba, and flooding cut off some parts of the country while authorities warned of the heightened risk of mudslides.The southern town of Leogane was completely under water, said Philippe Joseph, a civil defense official, who said water was three meters (10 feet) deep in parts of the town.We are going to have more victims because of the floods and mudslides, but we cannot yet reach the communities most affected, he told AFP.In Port-au-Prince, Haitians were up to their ankles in water in some of the huge refugee camps that have grown up around the city since a devastating earthquake that killed 250,000 people in January.But the canvas and tarpaulin shelters that hundreds of thousands of people call home appeared to have withstood the storm better than expected, thanks to pre-storm preparations, including hastily dug drainage ditches and sandbag barriers.So fortunately for them we can say that they appear to have made it through, Andrea Koppel of the American Red Cross told CNN.However, six people were reported killed in floods and house collapses elsewhere in Haiti.Two of the dead were in Leogane, two more died in the towns of Beaumont and de Leon near the city of Jeremie, and a fifth died in the town of Anglais, Haitian media reported.A sixth person was reported killed Thursday before the storm hit as he tried to cross a rain-swollen river in a vehicle in Grande Anse.
Many smaller towns in western Haiti were cut off from the outside world after flooding damaged already neglected roads in rural areas that were difficult to pass in good weather.The government said it had taken steps to accommodate as many as 100,000 people in schools, churches and hospitals -- a fraction of the 1.3 million left homeless by January's earthquake.The US State Department quoted Haiti's Department of Civil Protection as estimating that 50 percent of the people living in resettlement camps did leave of their own accord to safer housing.The center of category one Tomas passed Cuba's easternmost tip on Friday, and a hurricane warning for Guantanamo was downgraded to a tropical storm warning, the Miami-based National Hurricane Center (NHC) said at 2100 GMT.The storm was bearing maximum sustained winds of 75 miles (120 kilometers) per hour.Haiti and parts of the neighboring Dominican Republic, however, could see five to 10 inches (12.5 to 25 centimeters) of rain, the NHC warned, with 15 inches (38 centimeters) in isolated spots and with rains that could cause life-threatening flash floods and mud slides over mountainous terrain.Tomas threatened further havoc in impoverished Haiti just as it battles a growing cholera outbreak that has killed 442 people.Dangerous landslides and heavy flooding could still worsen the cholera epidemic. Remain vigilant, urged President Rene Preval, saying a massive aid distribution effort was being prepared once "the situation on the roads will permit.Much of Haiti's population of just under 10 million people live in precarious conditions, vulnerable to natural disasters. Mountainsides have been stripped of trees to be used as fuel, increasing the risk of landslides in wet weather. Tomas killed 14 people in Saint Lucia, then weakened to a tropical depression earlier this week before it gained a second life.
In the Dominican Republic, which shares the island of Hispaniola with Haiti, 8,400 people had to be evacuated from their homes across the country due to flooding and mudslides caused by Tomas.The naval amphibious ship USS Iwo Jima was prepared to move into the country to provide assistance after Tomas has passed, with is fleet of 10 helicopters and specialized emergency teams, said mission head Captain Thomas Negus.The US State Department said a 22-member Disaster Assistance Response Team has been deployed to Haiti, in addition to military personnel already providing relief in the country since the January earthquake.Hurricane warnings were posted for the Turks and Caicos, which were staring at the potential of a direct hit later Friday.
Indonesia volcano burns whole villages; 122 dead
By SARAH DiLORENZO, Associated Press - NOV 5,10
MOUNT MERAPI, Indonesia – A surge of searing gas raced down the sides of Mount Merapi on Friday, smothering houses, cattle and villagers in its path. The death toll after the volcano's largest eruption in a century soared to 122.The worst hit village of Bronggang lay nine miles (15 kilometers) from the fiery crater, just on the perimeter of the government-delineated danger zone. Crumpled roofs, charred carcasses of cattle and broken chairs — all layered in white ash and soot — dotted the smoldering landscape.The zone has since been expanded to a ring 12 miles (20 kilometers) from the peak, bringing it to the edge of the ancient royal capital of Yogyakarta, which has been put on its highest alert.Sri Sucirathasri said her family had stayed in their Bronggang home Thursday night because they hadn't been told to leave.They awoke in the dark as the mountain let out thunderous claps and tried desperately to outrun the flows, which reached speeds of 60 mph (100 kph), on a motorbike. Her mother, father and 12-year-old sister, Prisca, left first, but with gray ash blocking out any light, they mistakenly drove into — rather than away from —the volcano's dangerous discharge.The 18-year-old Sri went looking for them when she heard her mother's screams, leaving at home an older sister, who died when the house became engulfed in flames.It was a safe place. There were no signs to evacuate, said Sri, a vacant gaze fixed on Prisca, whose neck and face are burned a shiny ebony, her features nearly melted away.Their mother is still missing. Their father, whose feet and ankles are burned, is being treated in another ward.I don't know what to say, she whispers when asked if she blames officials for not warning the family.Angry at who? I'm just sad. And very sick.Merapi's latest round of eruptions began Oct. 26, followed by more than a dozen other powerful blasts and thousands of tremors.With each new eruption, scientists and officials have steadily pushed the villagers who live along Merapi's fertile slopes farther from the crater. But after initially predicting earlier eruptions would ease pressure under the magma dome, experts who have spent a lifetime studying the volcano now say the don't know what to expect.
Scientists can study the patterns of volcanoes, but their eruptions are essentially unpredictable, as Merapi's increasingly intense blasts have proved.On Friday, the towering plumes of ash rained dust on windshields of cars 300 miles (480 kilometers) away, although a rain near the mountain in the afternoon turned much of it to sludge. Bursts of hot clouds occasionally interrupted aid efforts, with rescuers screaming, Watch out! Hot cloud! The eruption released 1,765 million cubic feet (50 million cubic meters) of volcanic material, making it the biggest in at least a century, said state volcanologist Gede Swantika as plumes of smoke continued to shoot up more than 30,000 feet (10,000 meters).Soldiers pulled at least 78 bodies from homes and streets blanketed by ash up to a foot (30 centimeters) deep Friday, raising the overall toll to 122, according to the National Disaster Management Agency.With bodies found in front of houses and in streets, it appeared that many of the villagers died from the blistering gas while trying to escape, said Col. Tjiptono, a deputy police chief.The heat surrounded us and there was white smoke everywhere, said Niti Raharjo, 47, who was thrown from his motorbike along with his 19-year-old son while trying to flee.There was an explosion ... and it got worse, the ash and debris raining down, he said from a hospital. The living — with clothes, blankets and even mattresses fused to their skin by the 1,400-degree Fahrenheit (750-degree Celsius) heat — were carried away on stretchers following the first big explosion just before midnight. More than 150 injured people — with burns, respiratory problems, broken bones and cuts — waited to be treated at the tiny Sardjito hospital, where the bodies piled up in its morgue, and two other hospitals.
Despite being at the foot of Indonesia's deadliest volcano, Yogyakarta has only one burn unit — at Sardjito. The facility is limited to 10 beds, though, and so turns away any patient without facial burns or whose body is burned less than 40 percent, according to Sigit Priohutomo, a senior official at Sardjito.We're totally overwhelmed here! hospital spokesman Heru Nogroho said. More than 100,000 people living on the mountain have been evacuated to crowded emergency shelters, many by force, in the last week. Some return to their villages during lulls in activity, however, to tend to their livestock. They were told to stay away Friday. The government also announced an $11 million program to buy the cows on the mountain to keep farmers off its slopes, and to provide compensation for animals lost in the eruptions. Indonesia, a vast archipelago of 235 million people, is prone to earthquakes and volcanoes because it sits along the Pacific Ring of Fire, a horseshoe-shaped string of faults that lines the Pacific Ocean. While Friday's explosion was the largest in volume in a century, an eruption at Merapi in 1930 killed many more — 1,300.Even that toll pales in comparison to other volcanoes in the region: Indonesia's Krakatoa killed at least 36,000 people in 1883, in an eruption that could be heard 2,000 miles (3,200 kilometers) away and blackened skies region-wide for months.When the Philippines' Mount Pinatubo exploded in 1991 after a 500-year slumber, about 800 people died as the billions of tons of volcanic debris poured from the cone, erasing entire farm communities and altering the world's climate.The May 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens caused the volcano's north flank to collapse, triggering the largest landslide ever recorded. The blast killed 57 people, flattened 230 square miles (596 square kilometers) of forests and blew 1,300 feet (400 meters) off the peak.Associated Press writers Irwan Firdaus, Ali Kotarumalos and Niniek Karmini in Jakarta contributed to this report.
MSNBC suspends Olbermann over political contributions
By Michael Calderone – Fri Nov 5, 2:04 pm ET
MSNBC suspended Countdown host Keith Olbermann Friday after the news that he donated to three Democratic candidates.I became aware of Keith's political contributions late last night, MSNBC President Phil Griffin said in a statement. Mindful of NBC News policy and standards, I have suspended him indefinitely without pay.Olbermann gave the maximum individual donation of $2,400 to three candidates in Tuesday's election: Arizona Reps. Gabrielle Giffords and Raul Grijalva and Senate hopeful Jack Conway, who lost in Kentucky to Republican Rand Paul. (Grijalva appeared on Olbermann's Countdown on Oct. 28, the same day the host donated to his campaign; Conway was last a guest in May).Olbermann, in a statement to Politico, said that he did not privately or publicly encourage anyone else to donate to these campaigns nor to any others in this election or any previous ones. Also, Olbermann said he had not previously donated to any political campaign at any level.
But the revelation raised clear ethical issues.Olbermann, a liberal commentator, gives his opinions each night on the air. But NBC News editorial staffers -- like journalists at most news organizations -- are forbidden from giving to political candidates. Also, Olbermann anchored election coverage Tuesday night without disclosing that he'd given to candidates who were running for office.By punishing the network's biggest star, Griffin showed how little tolerance there is for hosts to make undisclosed political contributions while covering those political races.An MSNBC spokesman told The Upshot that The Nation's Chris Hayes, an MSNBC contributor who has filled in before for Olbermann and Rachel Maddow, will host Friday night's show. Hayes has spoken publicly before about donating $250 to a friend's Congressional campaign in Alabama. He made the last donation in 2009, before becoming an MSNBC contributor. [UPDATE: MSNBC now says Hayes will not be subbing tonight]MSNBC already attracted criticism this week for having its liberal hosts and commentators anchor election night coverage. Typically, nonpartisan journalists anchor major news events—such as election results—while commentators like Bill O'Reilly (Fox News) or James Carville (CNN) offer analysis.
It's ironic that Olbermann gave to political candidates after criticizing Fox News because its owner, Rupert Murdoch, gave $1 million donation to the Republican Governors Association. Fox News has put its money where its mouth is, Olbermann said in an August segment that questioned the network's impartiality.In October, Olbermann again raised the issue of Murdoch's donations, during an interview with Democratic Rep. James Clyburn. Olbermann asked whether there was a legislative response to the idea that there is a national cable news outlet that goes beyond having a point of view and actually starts to shill for partisan causes and actually starts to donate to partisan groups of one party.(Photo of Olbermann in May 2007: AP /Mark J.

AND THE OTHER ISSUE WE MUST KEEP ON THE TABLE AND IN PEOPLES MEMORY IS THAT BARRY SOETORO IS REALLY BARACK OBAMAS REAL NAME AND HE WAS BORN IN KENYA NOT AMERICA.BARRY SOETORO AKA BARACK OBAMA IS NOT ELLIGABLE TO BE THE PRESIDENT OF THE USA GOVERNMENT.EVERYTHING HE SIGNS IN BARACK OBAMA IS ILLEGEL,BECAUCE HIS REAL NAME IS BARRY SOETORO.AMERICAS CONSTITUTION WILL BE IN SHAMBLES ONCE THIS SCAM IS FINALLY REVEALED TO THE WORLD.
BY THE TIMELINE IN OBAMAS OWN BOOKS-OBAMA WENT TO PAKISTAN ON HIS INDONESIAN PASSPORT.ANOTHER ISSUE OUT OF 400 PEOPLE AT COLUMBIA THAT GRADUATED THE YEAR OBAMA OR BARRY SOETORO DID,NO ONE COMES FORWARD TO SAY THEY KNEW HIM.HOW COME AT HAWAII HOSPITAL WERE OBAMA CLAIMS HE WAS BORN,NO NURSES OR ANYBODY CAME FORWARD TO SAY THEY WITNESSED OR TOOK PART IN THE BIRTH.THIS BARRY SOETORO OR AKA BARACK OBAMAS LIFE IS A COMPLETE FRAUD.AND AMERICA IS CONNED TO BELIEVE THE LIE.WHY WOULD SOETORO AKA OBAMA SPEND 2 MILLION DOLLARS TO STOP ALL THESE LAWSUITS IF THERES NO COVERUP.HE WOULD JUST SHOW THE PROOF OF EACH EVENT-PLACE OF BIRTH,CERTIFICATE AND REAL NAME BARRY SOETORO INDONESIAN PASSPORT.
The proof is everywhere from statements and affidavits from Government parliament sources and Obama’s own Grandmother who says she saw him born in a hospital in Mombassa Kenya. The former ambassador to Kenya says Obama was born in Mombassa Kenya, so do others.
IMPEACH OBAMA! STOP WASTING YOUR TIME
By: Devvy October 26, 2010
© 2010 - NewsWithViews.com
It is impossible to calculate the moral mischief, if I may so express it, that mental lying has produced in society. When a man has so far corrupted and prostituted the chastity of his mind as to subscribe his professional belief to things he does not believe he has prepared himself for the commission of every other crime. ~Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason
From the moment Obama/Soetoro was sworn into office, Americans galvanized into Impeach Obama Now! factions.
However, there is a problem here because two wrongs don't make a right, which is why I have not supported any petitions calling for impeachment.
Despite the continued protestations by Obama/Soetoro supporters and professional liars in the dominant media, there is no question the usurper camped out in the White House was never eligible to run for president of these united States of America. All the huffing, puffing, vile name calling and protesting does not and cannot alter the legal fact that Obama/Soetoro was born with dual citizenship. It is his father's citizenship status at the time Obama/Soetoro was born that clearly makes him ineligible to be president.
We're all aware of the 40 or so lawsuits filed to expose Obama/Soetoro's perfidy and the decisions rendered by cowardly federal judges using the cop out - standing - as their justification in tossing the lawsuits. We're all aware that even though tens of thousands of Americans demanded the electoral college not certify the vote for the impostor on the ballot, they also proved to be gutless cowards or political hacks who value party loyalty over the U.S. Constitution. The final stop on the way to certifying an ineligible candidate was the U.S. Congress who sat on their cowardly backsides, January 9, 2009, knowing full well there were millions of Americans questioning the legitimacy of Obama/Soetoro's eligibility. Yet, not a single member of Congress (and that includes Ron Paul) stood up on the floor and objected. There is an orderly procedure that could have been triggered had one member of the Outlaw Congress stood up.[1] Instead, they all stood down and here we are today with a constitutional crisis that is not going away.
As Obama/Soetoro clearly was never eligible to run for the presidency, once he took office, he legally became a usurper. That action is defined as: to seize and hold (a position, office, power, etc.) by force or without legal right: The pretender tried to usurp the throne.
Now, we either believe in the supreme law of the land or we pursue an alternative path that sets a horrible legal precedent. What do I mean by that? You cannot impeach a usurper. To do so (even if the House were to file charges) would be to give legitimacy to Obama/Soetoro holding the office of president. That already happened once in our history with Chester Arthur. We cannot allow it to happen again no matter how frustrated and enraged we are about the actions of that empty suit sullying the people's house. To give legitimacy to his presidency would cement all the bills he signed into law as if they were valid under the U.S. Constitution.
We also have to look at reality. Nutty Nancy Pelosi made it quite clear when the Democrats took control of the Outlaw Congress there would be no impeachment against George Bush, Jr. He was worth far more political currency to the morally and ethically bankrupt Democratic Party than removing him. The Republican Party is expected to gain more than enough seats in the house in the upcoming election. Congressman Darrell Issa [R-CA] has made it clear there will be no impeachment proceeding:
Issa: Not a chance of Obama impeachment under GOP House
October 22, 2010
If Republicans take control of the House, there is not a chance at this point that they will try to impeach President Obama, a top Republican lawmaker said this week. Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), who would helm the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee if the GOP wins on Election Day, said that his party will not try to bring impeachment charges simply because it disagrees with the president....Look, disagreeing with the president — the president using his authority, maybe even misusing it — that's not what impeachment's for,he added. Do we have disagreements? Yes. Do we want to see that the president strictly adheres to process? Yes.
I'm not going to rehash all the unconstitutional bills Obama/Soetoro has signed since he was unlawfully sworn into office. One should remember the only way a bill gets to a president's desk is from the Outlaw Congress. That's where the treachery begins. Having said that, without question, the entire nation is shuddering under the weight of Obama/Soetoro's communitarian beliefs and actions. Everyday is a new attack on freedom and liberty spear headed by the usurper.
As I have said for quite some time, I firmly believe there is no way Obama/Soetoro will run in 2012. Certainly, continuing to raise the specter of another Obama/Soetoro term is good for ratings on Hannity, O'Reilly and conservative talk radio. It's also a good theme for dangerous, vile individuals like Newt Gingrich to raise money for their political organizations.
However, Obama/Soetoro's handlers (the shadow government) got away with fraud the first time around, they know it won't happen a second time. There's no way Obama/Soetoro can get ballot qualified in 2012 in a single state. Nancy Pelosi and others pulled off fraud with their candidate declarations to the 50 states of the Union in 2008, but they won't get away with it a second time. Pelosi and her gang of coconspirators should also be indicted by a federal grand jury. Don't think it can't happen. There are many very smart, dedicated individuals working to see all who participated in putting Obama/Soetoro on states ballots are brought to justice.
How this will all play out, I don't know. Obama/Soetoro has admitted to cocaine use; Larry Sinclair has accused him of being a user as late as 1999. Wayne Madsen recently penned a piece outlining how there is a crisis underway in the White House:
Wayne Madsen: White House in Crisis
Section 4 of the 25th Amendment likely to be invoked; Obama being shipped out!
Washington has not witnessed so much top level White House intrigue since October 20, 1973, when a Saturday night saw President Nixon fire the Watergate independent counsel, the U.S. attorney general, and the deputy attorney general in the Saturday Night Massacre.Just ten days earlier, Vice President Spiro Agnew resigned after being charged with accepting bribes while governor of Maryland.
In the case of President Obama, the senior firings are not happening during a single night but the recent involuntary sudden departures of the White House chief of staff and national security adviser, along with what WMR can confirm from multiple sources is a president who is suffering from Nixonian levels of paranoia, depression, and schizophrenia, has some top-level administration officials considering the first-ever invocation of Section 4 of the 25th Amendment — the involuntary removal of the president from office. The White House meltdown has the Washington political circuit buzzing under the surface.
Unlike Watergate and the Iran-contra scandal, however, the corporate media is refusing to report on the breakdown of the Obama administration and the internecine political warfare within the Executive Office of the President.
Madsen is a serious investigative journalist with excellent sources. The usurper has had the citizenship issue hanging over his head since mid-2007. He and Militant Michelle have been partying in their White House digs like there's no tomorrow. Whenever there's some heat, Obama/Soetoro hops on his favorite toy, Air Force One, and either goes on another vacation, visiting foreign countries or is out campaigning for his party. Anything to duck sitting around looking incompetent. I believe the fake First Couple know they are a one trick fraud and are living it up while they have the American taxpayers' open checkbook at their disposal. Many pundits continue to remark how detached Obama/Soetoro seems and not really into the task of being president. I believe this reflects knowing he won't be around for a second term. He does what he's told and while living it up in style.
Should the usurper remain in office, there is no way he will get the nod at the Democratic National Convention. Take money to the bank on that. It won't happen. There's no way to salvage that shipwreck. Obama/Soetoro's handlers might try to keep him in office as long as possible - if to do nothing more than checkmate any legislation coming out of the "new" Congress in January 2011. You see, if the usurper's handlers throw him under the bus early, next in line is Joseph Biden, who I believe is in the early stages of dementia. Not a good choice for the global cabal running Washington, DC. But, let's put that aside for the moment.
Is there any possibility that Obama/Soetoro can still be removed from office? Yes. There is still one case, Kerchner v Obama, which I have followed from the beginning. The wind has shifted direction since Leo Donofrio's first case was discussed at the Supreme Court level in December 2008. Mario Apuzzo, attorney for Kerchner, et al, is a real warrior and has fought for his clients in the aforementioned case. It has now gone to the next step:
Kerchner et al v Obama/Congress/Pelosi et al Petition for Writ of Certiorari filed 30 Sep 2010 and docketed 04 Oct 2010 with the U.S. Supreme Court - Washington Times National Weekly edition - 18 & 11 Oct 2010 issues, page 5. U.S. Supreme Court Docket Number: 10-446. Response from defendants due to the U.S. Supreme Court by 3 Nov 2010.
Let me shift gears for a moment. There's an old saying: Timing in life is everything. HalfPastHuman is a web site that deals in predictive linguistics. Cliff has been pinpointing Nov 8 - 12 as a tipping point for events which could (I stress could) turn this country upside down. I've followed George Ure, Cliff, Bob Chapman and Gerald Celente for a long time. Quite frankly, it's scary how accurate their predictions are in real time. Let's look a few dates here to see what has my attention:
Nov 2 -- National elections
Nov 3 --- Federal Reserve Chairman, Helicopter Ben Bernanke, is expected to announce a new round of printing tons of worthless fiat currency which will, on cue, make the situation worse as far as the economy is concerned.
Nov 4 -- Usurper, Obama/Soetoro leaves for India and other exotic locations. The original departure date was Nov 7, 2010. He is scheduled to return on Nov. 14th. An unusually long trip outside the U.S. for a president. Regardless of any official explanation as to why his departure date was moved up, I find it suspicious - as well as the length of time he is to be out of country.
Nov 11 - 12 -- Next meeting of the G-20 group. Those geniuses are going to try to figure out how to reverse decades of unrestrained, irresponsible fiscal policies. Too late.
This year elections may not be decided by five minutes after the polls close. We know electronic ballot fraud as well as scanners and human fraud will play a huge factor, again. I am hopeful that candidates who allegedly lose -- either by a landslide or close margin - will challenge the vote. Having the outcome of some races (especially the senate) drag on for weeks or even months will have more negative impact for our country. Recall the circus over the 2008 election between incumbent Norm Coleman [R-MN] and a vulgar, completely unqualified candidate, Al Franken. That recount lasted 238 days - roughly seven months. It could happen in less than ten days in a half dozen senate races. Fair election results must trump expediency -- even if it means a joke like Franken gets into office. There's that Seventeenth Amendment argument again.....
So....
The banking cartel is on the ropes with their money racket teetering on the brink, and with Foreclosure Gate now in full exposure, the problem is compounded by a factor of a few billion.
The usurper is beating it out of the country three days earlier than originally scheduled and is staying out of the country for a lengthy time.
One of the most important elections in our history is nine days away.
The international banking boys are going to meet in an effort to see which end of the Titanic they should stand on before half the world goes down in economic flames.
All these events clustered in a short period of time; Nov 2 - 12th. Just some food for thought.
Going back to the original theme of this column, besides impeachment, is there any other way to remove Obama/Soetoro? Yes, and it could have and should have been done more than a year ago. But, the requirements to qualify for under a Quo Warranto are stringent. Leo Donofrio and Stephen Pidgeon, both brilliant attorneys who have been involved in citizenship cases in the past, now represent roughly 82 Chrysler dealers in bankruptcy proceedings. The history is on Leo's web site. It does require some reading time if you haven't been able to keep up with it all. Leo and Stephen's first obligation to their clients is the bankruptcy lawsuit, but that does not rule out a Quo Warranto which could happen before 2012. [2]
The Quo Warranto statute was specifically written to remove a usurper from office and that without question is Barack Hussein Obama. I know time is an issue for everyone as our beloved republic is under attack 24/7 by those who wish to destroy these united States of America. If you desire to fully understand the entire history behind natural born citizen, the Fourteenth Amendment as it relates to the usurper and quo warranto, I put it all together in one master file here. If you can't read it all at one time, book mark the link and get back to it because it is critical in understanding the fraud perpetrated by Obama/Soetoro and his coconspirators.
Does this mean Barack Hussein Obama/Soetoro should get away with his crimes even if he stays until the 2012 election? Absolutely not. He has always known, as well as others, that he was ineligible to run for the presidency because of his dual citizenship. In my mind, there is no question the usurper is guilty under 18 U.S.C. §1343: wire fraud. Obama/Soetoro knowingly solicited campaign funds electronically (TV, radio, Internet) knowing full well his citizenship status made him ineligible. More than $600 million bux poured in and despite enough paper evidence to warrant a full investigation by the FEC regarding foreign contributions, they refuse. However, before the statute of limitations runs, the Department of Justice could indict Obama/Soetoro, and if convicted, he would spend decades in prison where he belongs.
I didn't fall off the turnip truck yesterday and I'm not naive. At some point, all these holes in the dam will burst and the long arm of the law will go after Obama, just the same as justice should be done in bringing Bush to trial over his lying regarding the illegal invasion of Iraq; which is not a dead issue and that's all I can say about it at this time.
Why are so many talented, decent Americans continuing the Herculean efforts to bring Bush and Obama/Soetoro to justice in a court of law? Because it is the right thing to do for our country. Every time we the people allow lawbreakers (like Marxist duo, Bill and Hillary) to get away with their crimes, the further our country slips into the muck of a banana republic. We cannot and must not allow that to happen.
As badly as we all want the usurper removed from the White House, it will not happen via impeachment. That comes out of the mouth of a powerful Republican who will, barring some disaster or major vote fraud, return to Washington in January. We cannot allow our rage and frustration to set another horrible legal precedent: you cannot impeach someone who has never legally held office. Usurper means that individual never occupied the office. We must stick to the correct legal remedy.
Right now we need to concentrate our efforts on winning the major fights underway, i.e., getting ALL of the unconstitutional ObamaCare repealed; some provisions are also in the stimulus bill that was signed into law and those must also be repealed and stopped. I would also like to stress how critically important it is to boot out all state reps and state senators who refuse to uphold the U.S. Constitution, who have destroyed their state economies with their foolish legislation and their refusal to take the necessary steps to secure your state from financial disaster; see link below. Get prepared because the worst is about to slam this nation. The elections on November 2, 2010, will not bring some magic bullet relief. It's a long, hard road ahead.

Dollar Begins Crash in Response to QE2 as Gold Scores New High
Kurt Nimmo Infowars.com November 5, 2010
Earlier this year, Lindsey Williams told Alex Jones the globalists would devalue the dollar and jack up the price of oil.Due to Fed policy, the U.S. dollar is now at risk of crashing and consumers will soon be hammered with higher prices.
Both are now happening.
On Thursday, in response to the Federal Reserve’s announcement that it plans to monetize the debt and increase the money supply, economists and market strategists warned that the sickly U.S. dollar is now at risk of crashing and consumers will soon be hammered with higher prices.Consumers should prepare for another turn of events like the spring of 2008, when oil prices soared to $147 a barrel and gas at the pump was more than $4 a gallon, Axel Merk, chairman and chief investment officer of Merk Investments, of Portland, Maine, told CNBC.Oil futures reached $87.22, the highest price in more than two years, Bloomberg reports this morning.Merk said the Fed’s plan for inflation will show up at the gas pump.We’re not going to get wages to go up. We’ll get the price at the gas pump to go up instead, he said.The Fed’s Q2E plan is being roundly condemned. China, Germany and Brazil are warning that the plan to inject more than $600 billion of funny money created out of thin air into the economy will have disastrous consequences. It will send money flooding into their markets seeking higher returns and that will drive up exchange rates and hamper exports by making their goods more expensive.China’s central bankers are not ebullient. If the domestic policy is optimal policy for the United States alone, but at the same time it is not an optimal policy for the world, it may bring a lot of negative impact to the world. There is a spillover, said Zhou Xiaochuan, governor of the People’s Bank of China.Investors are scampering in search of shelter. There’s no such thing anymore as a safe asset. Cash is no longer safe,said Merk. Do what central banks do, they diversify to baskets of currencies.Gold, silver, and precious metals remain a strong diversification option.
On Friday, gold futures shot up higher and posted a new record, their second in a row and a day after the metal had its biggest one-day gain in nearly 20 months. Gold rallied to $1,383.10 an ounce on Thursday after the Federal Reserve announced its policy to attack the dollar and unleash a broadside on the world economy through its QE2.
Bank Holiday Rumors Swirl Amidst Currency Crisis

With the world on the verge of a currency war as the Federal Reserve follows through on its dollar-killing quantitative easing program, rumors are once again swirling of a bank holiday, during which US citizens will be prevented from withdrawing money or at least limited in the amount of the withdrawal they can make.The bank holiday is rumored to be set for next week, with Tuesday November 11 pinpointed as the likeliest date.According to radio host Steve Quayle, a pastor was told by one of the managers of a prominent east coast bank that banks would close for an undetermined amount of time, and that when they reopened, all withdrawals by checks would be limited to $500 per week – no matter what the balance in the account is.Limiting the amount of money customers can withdraw or blocking the facility altogether reminds us of a Citigroup advisory that was sent to customers at the start of the year which stated that the bank reserved the right to require (7) days advance notice before permitting a withdrawal from all checking accounts. The story stoked fears that financial institutuions were preparing for bank runs.On his website, Quayle asks, When in U.S. History has a sitting President taken off on an overseas trip for an extended period of time, with 65 airplanes, 34 warships reportedly 3,000 people including his friends and cohorts, at the pinnacle of an economic and political upheaval? Fears of a bank holiday first arose in June of last year, when it was rumored that banks would close their doors in early September. Concern was fueled by reports that US embassies in foreign countries were purchasing large quantities of local currency.
With Brazil and other countries now threatening to take drastic currency measures to protect themselves against a dollar crisis, a similar financial environment is stoking identical fears.Bank holidays are not without precedent in the United States. On March 5 1933, newly elected Franklin Roosevelt declared a bank holiday that lasted four days, during which he rammed through the Emergency Banking Act which granted FDR near dictatorial control over the dealings of banks. The Act also forced every citizen and business in the country to relinquish their gold in exchange for paper currency.The 1933 bank holiday served as a face-saving mechanism for many financial institutions – thousands of them never reopened after the closure period had ended.While we expect it to be business as usual next week and the rumors to subside as they did last year, the mere fact that this fear keeps cropping up shows how jittery the economic landscape is right now.Indeed, the debate is no longer about whether the US financial system and the dollar will come crashing down or not, but if that inevitable process will be characterized as a sudden collapse or death by a thousand cuts. The latter seems to be more likely, with a few lurches and leaps along the way, the first of which was Ben Bernanke’s announcement on Tuesday that the Fed will buy $600 billion of U.S. government bonds over the next eight months.The blame for this turmoil can be laid firmly at the feet of Bernanke, acting at the behest of the Fed’s owners, who having promised in June last year that they would not monetize the debt of the U.S. government. have now embarked upon a mad experiment” that will precipitate the collapse of the US dollar paper standard,as CLSA’s Chris Wood describes it.As the Honorable Louis McFadden, Chairman of the House Banking and Currency Committee, warned in 1933, the Fed does not care that it is killing the dollar because its role is to represent the interests of its international owners and its Wall Street cronies, not the American people.Some people think that the Federal Reserve Banks are United States Government institutions. They are private monopolies which prey upon the people of these United States for the benefit of themselves and their foreign customers; foreign and domestic speculators and swindlers; and rich and predatory money lenders, said McFadden.
So while the happy clappers on Wall Street are drunkenly celebrating the fact that their artificially inflated stock market is surging solely as a result of the value of the dollar being eviscerated, Main Street is hunkering down for a long winter, beset by worries about hyperinflation, rising food prices and gas price hikes, as oil follows gold’s meteoric rise, again solely as a result of the Fed’s decision to debase the greenback.Financial upheaval has been matched by political upheaval, and we can only hope that Congressman Ron Paul and his son, Senator in waiting Rand Paul, can build momentum to finally cut out the cancer that is destroying America – by ending the Fed for good.

Signs of backtracking on EU treaty change
ANDREW WILLIS Today NOV 5,10 @ 09:23 CET
EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - Barely a week has passed since EU leaders agreed to tweak the Lisbon Treaty, but already there are signs that a number of governments are getting cold feet. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk on Thursday (4 November) said the political deal struck at last week's summit was not the final word on the matter.A potential change to the Lisbon Treaty must be justified 100 percent and must not serve the interests of just one, two or five EU nations, because such a change would simply not be accepted, Mr Tusk told reporters in Warsaw. A deal reached in Brussels isn't enough. The member states must then go on to accept it, he added.Standing beside the Polish prime minister, visiting Czech counterpart Petr Necas said his country's rules for approving an EU treaty change were very complicated,with any such move requiring a referendum. Many had hoped such a public consultation could be avoided.In agreeing to German demands for an EU treaty change last week, EU leaders invoked the Lisbon treaty's special revision procedure - a new clause which allows them to tweak the EU rulebook without consulting citizens or the European Parliament, provided there is unanimity and EU powers are not extended.
Germany has pressed hard for the treaty change, concerned that the creation of a permanent EU crisis mechanism could be in breach of the EU's no-bailout clause, meaning Berlin would likely face a challenge from Germany's constitutional court.At the same time, Berlin has also been a leading advocate of a permanent crisis mechanism to replace the hastily cobbled together €750 billion backstop mechanism agreed in May which expires in 2013, arguing that it must also incorporate a sovereign debt restructuring procedure so that the private sector also foots part of the bill of future bailouts. On Thursday European Central Bank President Jean Claude Trichet repeated his warnings that such a mechanism would serve to unsettle markets, as Irish, Greek and Portuguese bonds continued their slump following German Chancellor Angela Merkel's raising of issue last week.A bilateral deal in which Ms Merkel earlier won French President Nicolas Sarkozy's support for the EU treaty change has also attracted widespread criticism.Referring to a meeting between the two leaders in the French seaside town of Deauville on 18 October, Italian foreign minister Franco Frattini said the other EU member states had been excluded from the real decision making.Pre-cooked decisions put on the table to be taken or left by others is not acceptable for other countries like Italy and other big players, Mr Frattini said in an interview with the Financial Times. We can have consultations but not pre-cooked decisions taken by Paris or Berlin.In Britain, news of the treaty change has led some euro-sceptic tories to call for a referendum on the subject. But on Thursday the leader of the government's junior coalition party, Liberal Democrat Nick Clegg, said London would simply wave the measure through, and would not push for EU powers to be repatriated to London.European Council President Herman Van Rompuy is to explore the details of how a permanent crisis mechanism should be set up, and will report back to EU leaders with his conclusions in December.

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - Germany has accused the US of breaking a promise made at the G20 summit in Toronto in June by injecting a further $600 billion into its economy to stimulate growth.Speaking on national TV on Thursday (4 November), German finance minister Wolfgang Schauble said that participants at the meeting had agreed to tighten their belts: That was the common policy, that all developed countries, including the US, at the G20 summit in Toronto ... explicitly obliged to undertake. We will speak critically about this in bilateral talks with our American friends, but also at the G20 summit in South Korea in the coming weeks.The US decision, announced on Wednesday, is to see the US Federal Reserve buy US Treasury bonds in a financial procedure called quantitative easing, which is also known as printing money by its critics as the extra liquidity is not necessarily withdrawn.
The US move gave a fillip to stock markets around the world. But it also caused the value of the dollar to drop sharply against the euro, making EU exports less competitive on world markets..Germany's Mr Schauble argued that the US should tackle the underlying economic problems causing unemployment instead. A chorus of German politicians echoed his cries, including economy minister Rainer Bruderle and Liberal party member of parliament Frank Schaeffler.Printing money again will trigger a tsunami across the world economy, Mr Schaeffler said.The world's second most powerful central banker, the European Central Bank's Jean-Claude Trichet, bit his tongue during his regular monthly press conference on Thursday, however.No further comments on what is done by other central banks, who have their own responsibility, their own environment, he said, according to newswires. I never comment on moves on the market on a day-to-day basis. I have no indication that would change my trust in the fact that the Fed reserve chairman is not playing the strategy and the tactics of the weak dollar.I have no reason not to trust them, he added.The ECB has committed itself to a strategy of gradually dismantling the EU stimulus plans put in place in response to the global economic crisis.But Mr Trichet hinted on Thursday that the bank may have resumed its purchases of euro-zone government bonds in an attempt to reduce tensions in the European debt markets. Noting that figures out on Monday showed no new bond purchases by the ECB for the third week running, he said: You have always information that are not real-time. They are addressing what has happened a number of working days before... you will see that the program exists.
EU ambassador to attend Nobel gala despite Chinese bullying The Nobel gala dinner in Oslo is traditionally attended by all 27 EU ambassadors (Photo: wikipedia)
ANDREW RETTMAN Today NOV 5,10 @ 18:34 CET
EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - The EU ambassador to Norway and senior diplomats from several EU countries plan to attend the Nobel peace prize ceremony in December despite Chinese pressure.The office of EU foreign relation chief Catherine Ashton told EUobserver on Friday (5 November) that the EU's top man in Oslo, Janos Herman, will attend the gala dinner honouring Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo on 10 December.
Mr Herman in recent days received a letter from his Chinese counterpart in the Norwegian capital asking him to boycott the ceremony. No letters were sent to the EU institutions in Brussels. But the vast majority of EU member states' bilateral missions in Norway received similar anti-Nobel requests.It is of course up to each individual member state to decide if they should attend the event. Should a member state or a number of member states request the High Representative/Vice-President [Ms Ashton] to have a co-ordinated position, the High Representative/Vice-President would take this on board. But we have not had such a request at this stage, her spokesman said.The ambassadors of Denmark, Finland, the Netherlands and the UK and the deputy chief of the German mission to Norway have in separate statements also confirmed they will attend.France is hedging its bets for now. An official foreign ministry communique on Thursday said only that it will decide before 10 December. The Norwegian Nobel Committee has asked invitees to respond by 15 November.The news on China's anti-Nobel lobbying came at an awkward time for France. Paris this week hosted Chinese President Hu Jintao on a three-day visit in which his delegation signed several billion euros' worth of contracts with French nuclear power, aviation and petrochemical companies.Asked by this website if France's silence on the Nobel question makes it look like it is putting Chinese money before human rights, the French foreign ministry's press service said it is not authorised to say anything on the subject beyond the Thursday communique. The three-day Chinese visit to France contained no question-and-answer sessions for press.China's style of diplomacy has caused annoyance in Brussels, meanwhile. It's not for China to dictate to member states what they should do. This is typical Chinese bullying tactics, an EU diplomatic contact said.Mr Liu is serving an 11-year-long jail sentence and is unlikely to be let out to collect his award in person.
According to an informal survey by an EUobserver contact in the Asian country, many educated Chinese people have not heard of him due to media censorship. Some have not even heard of the Tiananmen Square massacre. Among those who have heard of Mr Liu, opinion is split between those who admire his bravery for standing up to the state; those who see him as a Western darling and an agent of foreign interference; and those who think China should concentrate on economic growth instead of civil liberties.Chinese state media have meanwhile reached out to Western audiences to rubbish his name.An English language report on Xinhua news agency on 28 October entitled Who is Liu Xiaobo? quoted him as saying that Chinese people are weak and that he is ashamed of being Chinese. It said that prior to his arrest he lived comfortably on money paid by foreign NGOs and drank fancy foreign wine.For its part, the Norwegian Nobel Committee last month said: The campaign to establish universal human rights also in China is being waged by many Chinese, both in China itself and abroad. Through the severe punishment meted out to him, Liu has become the foremost symbol of this wide-ranging struggle for human rights in China.
Global Eyes Gareth Harding
On Friday I was in Vienna to pick up an Erasmus EuroMedia Award for an e-magazine I edit on EU communications issues. It’s called Opinion Corner and is published by Mostra, a Brussels-based communications agency.The latest edition of the magazine focuses on how the rest of the world views the EU and features interviews with Balkan musician Goran Bregovic, branding guru Simon Anholt and journalists, politicians and analysts in Moscow, Istanbul, Ankara, Washington DC, Brussels and London. We also carried out street interviews in Burkina Faso, Mexico, China and Egypt to find out what ordinary people make of the EU.It may come as a surprise to Europeans – many of whom are lukewarm about the EU project and gloomy about its future prospects – to learn that the European Union is viewed in an overwhelmingly positive light across the globe.In a poll carried out by Globescan for the BBC World Service in April 2010, citizens in all but two of the 28 countries surveyed said they had a mainly positive opinion about the EU’s influence in the world. Only Germany was judged more benignly in the poll, with 53% of respondents saying the EU had a positive and 18% saying it had a negative influence in the world.A more recent poll conducted by the Pew Global Attitudes Project in 2009 confirms the EU’s popularity worldwide – although public opinion is not as positive as the Globescan survey. Majorities or pluralities in 18 of the 25 countries surveyed said they had a favourable view of the European Union.
Before EU public relations folk crack open the champagne, they should remember that:
•This enthusiasm is coupled with widespread ignorance about what the European Union is and does.
•Much of the fuzzy feeling towards the EU is due to the fact that people see it as synonymous with the continent of Europe – which evokes images of wealth, beauty, culture and history.
•Support for the EU is haemorrhaging in the Wider Middle East. The five countries that view the Union most unfavourably – Pakistan, Egypt, Palestine, Turkey and Jordan – are all predominantly Muslim countries. In Pakistan, only nine percent of respondents said they had a positive opinion of the Union, according to the 2009 Pew poll. 72% of Jordanians and 57% of Palestinians said they viewed the EU unfavourably, despite the billions of dollars Brussels has pumped into the West Bank.
Foreign policy experts we interviewed in Washington DC, Moscow, London, Brussels and Turkey also had a much dimmer view of the EU than citizens. Among the criticisms levelled at the bloc are that it is obsessed by internal issues, projects a weak and ineffectual image, fails to live up to its high ideals and is incapable of communicating what it actually stands for. The ability of the EU to project itself as a brand is quite pitiful,says Martin Walker, Senior Director of the Global Business Policy Council.
There was also a quasi-unanimous view that the Lisbon treaty has created more, not less confusion and that the appointments of EU president Herman Van Rompuy and foreign policy chief Cathy Ashton – two unknown, uninspriring entities according to the European Policy Centre’s Shada Islam – was a missed opportunity for the EU to raise its international profile. The hope was that Lisbon would make the EU role in the world clearer, says Tomas Valasek of the Centre for European Reform in London. That hasn’t happened.The EU still remains a good global brand. It is viewed positively by most citizens in most states. It is envied for its relative peace and prosperity and provides a model for regions seeking closer economic integration. Unlike Russia, China and the United States, it is viewed as a non-threatening actor on the international stage.However, in recent years, the EU’s image has taken something of a knock as a result of the navel-gazing leading to the adoption of the Lisbon treaty and the confusion following it, the global financial crisis, Greece’s economic meltdown – and the EU’s belated attempts to rescue it – and the Union’s continued inability to punch its weight on the world stage. This lack of confidence is reflected in opinion polls, with the latest survey by Globescan showing a four-point drop in positive views towards the EU.So what can be done to polish up the EU’s image abroad and improve the way it conducts public diplomacy? As the European diplomatic corps sets up shop, the experts we spoke to offered the following advice:
•Don’t be afraid to take hard decisions and use hard power. Says Valasek: Foreign Policy is not a Eurovision Song Contest.
•Align brand EU (boring, bureaucratic) much more closely with brand Europe (beautiful, buzzing.)
•Focus less on process and more on action.
•Communicate better abroad – send diplomats abroad who can engage with locals not just talk tariffs and quotas.
Ultimately the EU will be judged around the world for what it achieves, rather than how it communicates. But until the European Union learns to engage with citizens in language they can understand and relate to, few people will ever know what it does and stands for.

Dollar Begins Crash in Response to QE2 as Gold Scores New High
Kurt Nimmo Infowars.com November 5, 2010
Earlier this year, Lindsey Williams told Alex Jones the globalists would devalue the dollar and jack up the price of oil.Due to Fed policy, the U.S. dollar is now at risk of crashing and consumers will soon be hammered with higher prices.
Both are now happening.
On Thursday, in response to the Federal Reserve’s announcement that it plans to monetize the debt and increase the money supply, economists and market strategists warned that the sickly U.S. dollar is now at risk of crashing and consumers will soon be hammered with higher prices.Consumers should prepare for another turn of events like the spring of 2008, when oil prices soared to $147 a barrel and gas at the pump was more than $4 a gallon, Axel Merk, chairman and chief investment officer of Merk Investments, of Portland, Maine, told CNBC.Oil futures reached $87.22, the highest price in more than two years, Bloomberg reports this morning.Merk said the Fed’s plan for inflation will show up at the gas pump.We’re not going to get wages to go up. We’ll get the price at the gas pump to go up instead, he said.The Fed’s Q2E plan is being roundly condemned. China, Germany and Brazil are warning that the plan to inject more than $600 billion of funny money created out of thin air into the economy will have disastrous consequences. It will send money flooding into their markets seeking higher returns and that will drive up exchange rates and hamper exports by making their goods more expensive.China’s central bankers are not ebullient. If the domestic policy is optimal policy for the United States alone, but at the same time it is not an optimal policy for the world, it may bring a lot of negative impact to the world. There is a spillover, said Zhou Xiaochuan, governor of the People’s Bank of China.Investors are scampering in search of shelter. There’s no such thing anymore as a safe asset. Cash is no longer safe,said Merk. Do what central banks do, they diversify to baskets of currencies.Gold, silver, and precious metals remain a strong diversification option.
On Friday, gold futures shot up higher and posted a new record, their second in a row and a day after the metal had its biggest one-day gain in nearly 20 months. Gold rallied to $1,383.10 an ounce on Thursday after the Federal Reserve announced its policy to attack the dollar and unleash a broadside on the world economy through its QE2.
Bank Holiday Rumors Swirl Amidst Currency Crisis

I have no indication that would change my trust in the fact that the Fed reserve chairman is not playing the strategy and the tactics of the weak dollar.I have no reason not to trust them, he added.The ECB has committed itself to a strategy of gradually dismantling the EU stimulus plans put in place in response to the global economic crisis.But Mr Trichet hinted on Thursday that the bank may have resumed its purchases of euro-zone government bonds in an attempt to reduce tensions in the European debt markets. Noting that figures out on Monday showed no new bond purchases by the ECB for the third week running, he said: You have always information that are not real-time. They are addressing what has happened a number of working days before... you will see that the program exists.
EU ambassador to attend Nobel gala despite Chinese bullying The Nobel gala dinner in Oslo is traditionally attended by all 27 EU ambassadors (Photo: wikipedia)
ANDREW RETTMAN Today NOV 5,10 @ 18:34 CET
EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - The EU ambassador to Norway and senior diplomats from several EU countries plan to attend the Nobel peace prize ceremony in December despite Chinese pressure.The office of EU foreign relation chief Catherine Ashton told EUobserver on Friday (5 November) that the EU's top man in Oslo, Janos Herman, will attend the gala dinner honouring Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo on 10 December.
Mr Herman in recent days received a letter from his Chinese counterpart in the Norwegian capital asking him to boycott the ceremony. No letters were sent to the EU institutions in Brussels. But the vast majority of EU member states' bilateral missions in Norway received similar anti-Nobel requests.It is of course up to each individual member state to decide if they should attend the event. Should a member state or a number of member states request the High Representative/Vice-President [Ms Ashton] to have a co-ordinated position, the High Representative/Vice-President would take this on board. But we have not had such a request at this stage, her spokesman said.The ambassadors of Denmark, Finland, the Netherlands and the UK and the deputy chief of the German mission to Norway have in separate statements also confirmed they will attend.France is hedging its bets for now. An official foreign ministry communique on Thursday said only that it will decide before 10 December. The Norwegian Nobel Committee has asked invitees to respond by 15 November.The news on China's anti-Nobel lobbying came at an awkward time for France. Paris this week hosted Chinese President Hu Jintao on a three-day visit in which his delegation signed several billion euros' worth of contracts with French nuclear power, aviation and petrochemical companies.Asked by this website if France's silence on the Nobel question makes it look like it is putting Chinese money before human rights, the French foreign ministry's press service said it is not authorised to say anything on the subject beyond the Thursday communique. The three-day Chinese visit to France contained no question-and-answer sessions for press.China's style of diplomacy has caused annoyance in Brussels, meanwhile. It's not for China to dictate to member states what they should do. This is typical Chinese bullying tactics, an EU diplomatic contact said.Mr Liu is serving an 11-year-long jail sentence and is unlikely to be let out to collect his award in person.
According to an informal survey by an EUobserver contact in the Asian country, many educated Chinese people have not heard of him due to media censorship. Some have not even heard of the Tiananmen Square massacre. Among those who have heard of Mr Liu, opinion is split between those who admire his bravery for standing up to the state; those who see him as a Western darling and an agent of foreign interference; and those who think China should concentrate on economic growth instead of civil liberties.Chinese state media have meanwhile reached out to Western audiences to rubbish his name.An English language report on Xinhua news agency on 28 October entitled Who is Liu Xiaobo? quoted him as saying that Chinese people are weak and that he is ashamed of being Chinese. It said that prior to his arrest he lived comfortably on money paid by foreign NGOs and drank fancy foreign wine.For its part, the Norwegian Nobel Committee last month said: The campaign to establish universal human rights also in China is being waged by many Chinese, both in China itself and abroad. Through the severe punishment meted out to him, Liu has become the foremost symbol of this wide-ranging struggle for human rights in China.
Global Eyes Gareth Harding
On Friday I was in Vienna to pick up an Erasmus EuroMedia Award for an e-magazine I edit on EU communications issues. It’s called Opinion Corner and is published by Mostra, a Brussels-based communications agency.The latest edition of the magazine focuses on how the rest of the world views the EU and features interviews with Balkan musician Goran Bregovic, branding guru Simon Anholt and journalists, politicians and analysts in Moscow, Istanbul, Ankara, Washington DC, Brussels and London. We also carried out street interviews in Burkina Faso, Mexico, China and Egypt to find out what ordinary people make of the EU.It may come as a surprise to Europeans – many of whom are lukewarm about the EU project and gloomy about its future prospects – to learn that the European Union is viewed in an overwhelmingly positive light across the globe.In a poll carried out by Globescan for the BBC World Service in April 2010, citizens in all but two of the 28 countries surveyed said they had a mainly positive opinion about the EU’s influence in the world. Only Germany was judged more benignly in the poll, with 53% of respondents saying the EU had a positive and 18% saying it had a negative influence in the world.A more recent poll conducted by the Pew Global Attitudes Project in 2009 confirms the EU’s popularity worldwide – although public opinion is not as positive as the Globescan survey. Majorities or pluralities in 18 of the 25 countries surveyed said they had a favourable view of the European Union.
Before EU public relations folk crack open the champagne, they should remember that:
•This enthusiasm is coupled with widespread ignorance about what the European Union is and does.
•Much of the fuzzy feeling towards the EU is due to the fact that people see it as synonymous with the continent of Europe – which evokes images of wealth, beauty, culture and history.
•Support for the EU is haemorrhaging in the Wider Middle East. The five countries that view the Union most unfavourably – Pakistan, Egypt, Palestine, Turkey and Jordan – are all predominantly Muslim countries. In Pakistan, only nine percent of respondents said they had a positive opinion of the Union, according to the 2009 Pew poll. 72% of Jordanians and 57% of Palestinians said they viewed the EU unfavourably, despite the billions of dollars Brussels has pumped into the West Bank.
Foreign policy experts we interviewed in Washington DC, Moscow, London, Brussels and Turkey also had a much dimmer view of the EU than citizens. Among the criticisms levelled at the bloc are that it is obsessed by internal issues, projects a weak and ineffectual image, fails to live up to its high ideals and is incapable of communicating what it actually stands for. The ability of the EU to project itself as a brand is quite pitiful,says Martin Walker, Senior Director of the Global Business Policy Council.
There was also a quasi-unanimous view that the Lisbon treaty has created more, not less confusion and that the appointments of EU president Herman Van Rompuy and foreign policy chief Cathy Ashton – two unknown, uninspriring entities according to the European Policy Centre’s Shada Islam – was a missed opportunity for the EU to raise its international profile. The hope was that Lisbon would make the EU role in the world clearer, says Tomas Valasek of the Centre for European Reform in London. That hasn’t happened.The EU still remains a good global brand. It is viewed positively by most citizens in most states. It is envied for its relative peace and prosperity and provides a model for regions seeking closer economic integration. Unlike Russia, China and the United States, it is viewed as a non-threatening actor on the international stage.However, in recent years, the EU’s image has taken something of a knock as a result of the navel-gazing leading to the adoption of the Lisbon treaty and the confusion following it, the global financial crisis, Greece’s economic meltdown – and the EU’s belated attempts to rescue it – and the Union’s continued inability to punch its weight on the world stage. This lack of confidence is reflected in opinion polls, with the latest survey by Globescan showing a four-point drop in positive views towards the EU.So what can be done to polish up the EU’s image abroad and improve the way it conducts public diplomacy? As the European diplomatic corps sets up shop, the experts we spoke to offered the following advice:
•Don’t be afraid to take hard decisions and use hard power. Says Valasek: Foreign Policy is not a Eurovision Song Contest.
•Align brand EU (boring, bureaucratic) much more closely with brand Europe (beautiful, buzzing.)
•Focus less on process and more on action.
•Communicate better abroad – send diplomats abroad who can engage with locals not just talk tariffs and quotas.
Ultimately the EU will be judged around the world for what it achieves, rather than how it communicates. But until the European Union learns to engage with citizens in language they can understand and relate to, few people will ever know what it does and stands for.

9 Reasons Why Quantitative Easing Is Bad For The U.S. Economy
The Economic Collapse November 4, 2010
The Federal Reserve is pumping 900 billion dollars into the system and that is going to have a significant impact.Buckle up and hold on – a new round of quantitative easing is here and things could start getting very ugly in the financial world over the coming months. The truth is that many economists fear that an out of control Federal Reserve is crossing the Rubicon by announcing another wave of quantitative easing. Have we now reached a point where the Federal Reserve is simply going to fire up the printing presses and shower massive wads of cash into the financial system whenever the U.S. economy is not growing fast enough? If so, what does the mean for inflation, the stability of the world financial system and the future of the U.S. dollar? The Fed says that the plan is to purchase $600 billion of U.S. Treasury securities by the middle of 2011. In addition, the Federal Reserve has announced that it will be reinvesting an additional $250 billion to $300 billion from the proceeds of its mortgage portfolio in U.S. Treasury securities over the same time period. So that is a total injection of about $900 billion. Perhaps the Fed thought that number would sound a little less ominous than $1 trillion. In any event, the Federal Reserve seems convinced that quantitative easing is going to work this time. So should we believe the Federal Reserve? The truth is that the Federal Reserve has tried this before. In November 2008, the Federal Reserve announced a $600 billion quantitative easing program. Four months later the Fed felt that even more cash was necessary, so they upped the total to $1.8 trillion.
So did quantitative easing work then?
No, not really. It may have helped stabilize the economy in the short-term, but unemployment is still staggeringly high. Monthly U.S. home sales continue to come in at close to record low levels. Businesses are borrowing less money. Individuals are borrowing less money. Stores are closing left and right.The Fed is desperate to crank the debt spiral that our economic system is now based upon back up again. The Fed thinks that somehow if it can just pump enough nearly free liquidity into the banking system, the banks will turn around and lend it out at a markup and that this will get the debt spiral cranking again.The sad truth is that the Federal Reserve is not trying to build an economic recovery on solid financial principles. Rather, what the Federal Reserve envisions is an economic recovery based on new debt creation.
So will $900 billion be enough to get the debt spiral cranked up again?
No.
If 1.8 trillion dollars didn’t work before, why does the Federal Reserve think that 900 billion dollars is going to work now? This new round of quantitative easing will create more inflation and will cause speculative asset bubbles, but it is not going to fix what is wrong with the economy. The damage is just too vast as Charles Hugh Smith recently explained….Anyone who believes a meager one or two trillion dollars in pump-priming can overcome $15-$20 trillion in overpriced assets and $10 trillion in uncollectible debt may well be disappointed.In fact, economists over at Goldman Sachs estimate that it would take a staggering $4 trillion in quantitative easing to get the economy rolling again.Of course that may eventually be what happens. The Fed may be starting at $900 billion just to get the door open. With these kinds of bureaucrats, once you give them an inch they usually end up taking a mile.So why should we be concerned about quantitative easing? The following are 9 reasons why quantitative easing is bad for the U.S. economy….
#1 Quantitative Easing Will Damage The Value Of The U.S. Dollar
Each time you add a new dollar to the system, it decreases the value of each existing dollar by just a little bit. Now the Federal Reserve is pumping 900 billion dollars into the system and that is going to have a significant impact. Bill Gross, the manager of the largest mutual fund in the entire world, said on Monday that he believes that more quantitative easing could result in a decline of the U.S. dollar of up to 20 percent….I think a 20 percent decline in the dollar is possible.
#2 Inflation Is Going To Hit Already Struggling U.S. Consumers Really Hard
Already, investors have been fleeing from the U.S. dollar and other paper currencies and have been flocking to commodities, precious metals and oil. That means that the price of food is going to go up. The price of gasoline is also going to go up. American families are going to find their budgets stretched even more in the months ahead.
#3 Once An Inflationary Spiral Gets Going It Is Really Hard To Stop
The Federal Reserve is playing a very dangerous game by flirting with inflation. Once an inflationary spiral gets going, it is really difficult to stop. Just ask anyone who lived through the Weimar Republic or anyone who lives in Zimbabwe today. If the Federal Reserve is now going to be dumping hundreds of billions of fresh dollars into the system whenever the economy gets into trouble it is inevitable that we will see rampant inflation at some point.
#4 Inflation Is A Hidden Tax On Every American
Tens of millions of Americans have worked incredibly hard to save up a little bit of money. These Americans are counting on that money to pay for a home, or to pay for retirement or to pay for the education of their children. Well, inflation is like a hidden tax on all of those savings. In fact, inflation is a hidden tax on every single dollar that all of us own. We have been taxed more than enough – we certainly don’t need the Federal Reserve imposing another hidden tax on all of us.
#5 The Solution To The Housing Bubble Is Not Another Housing Bubble
Today, approximately a third of all U.S. real estate is estimated to have negative equity. The Federal Reserve apparently believes that by flooding the system with gigantic sacks of cash banks will start making home loans like crazy again and home prices will rise substantially once again – thus wiping out most of that negative equity.But the solution to the housing bubble is not another housing bubble. The kinds of crazy home loans that were made back in the middle of the decade should never be made again. Market forces should be allowed to bring the housing market to a new equilibrium where ordinary Americans can actually afford to purchase homes. But that is not how our system works anymore. Today, everything has to be manipulated.
#6 More Quantitative Easing Threatens To Destabilize The Global Financial System
We have already entered a time of increasing global financial instability, and the Federal Reserve is not going to help things by introducing hundreds of billions of new dollars into the game. Over the past two decades, bubble after bubble has caused tremendous economic problems, and now all of this new money could give rise to new bubbles. Already, we see financial institutions and investors pumping up carry trade bubbles, engaging in currency speculation and driving up commodity prices to ridiculous levels.
#7 Quantitative Easing Is An Aggressive Move In A World Already On The Verge Of A Currency War
Quantitative easing will likely help U.S. exporters by causing the value of the U.S. dollar to sink. However, this gain by U.S. exporters will come at the expense of foreigners. It is essentially a zero sum game. So all of those exporting countries that are already upset with us will become even more furious as the U.S. dollar declines. Could we witness the first all-out global currency war in 2011?
#8 Quantitative Easing Threatens The Status Of The Dollar As The World Reserve Currency
As the Federal Reserve continues to play games with the U.S. dollar, quite a few nations around the globe will start evaluating whether or not they want to continue to trade with the U.S. dollar and use it as a reserve currency.In fact, a recent article on The Market Oracle website explained how this is already happening….In September, China supported a Russian proposal to start direct trading using the yuan and the ruble rather than pricing their trade or taking payment in U.S. dollars or other foreign currencies. China then negotiated a similar deal with Brazil. And on the eve of the IMF meetings in Washington on Friday, Premier Wen stopped off in Istanbul to reach agreement with Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan to use their own currencies in a planned tripling Turkish-Chinese trade to $50 billion over the next five years, effectively excluding the dollar.
#9 It Is Going To Become More Expensive For The U.S. Government To Borrow Money
Right now, the U.S. government has been able to borrow money at ridiculously low interest rates. But as the Federal Reserve keeps buying up hundreds of billions in U.S. Treasuries, the rest of the world is going to start refusing to participate in the ongoing Ponzi scheme.Peter Schiff, the CEO of Euro Pacific Capital, says that one of the big reasons for more quantitative easing is because the U.S. government is already starting to have difficulty finding enough people to borrow from….At the end of the day, all this deflation talk is a red herring. The true purpose of QE 2 is to disguise the decreasing ability of the Treasury to finance its debts. As global demand for dollar-denominated debt falls, the Fed is looking for an excuse to pick up the slack. By announcing QE 2, it can monetize government debt without the markets perceiving a funding problem.But the truth is that foreigners are not stupid. They can see the shell game that is being played. As Bill Gross noted on Monday, U.S. government debt will soon become a lot less attractive to foreign investors….
QEII not only produces more dollars but it also lowers the yield that investors earn on them and makes foreigners, which is the key link to the currencies, it makes foreigners less willing to hold dollars in current form or at current prices.As foreigners begin to balk at all of this nonsense, the U.S. government will either have to start paying higher interest rates on government debt in order to attract enough investors, or the Federal Reserve will just have to drop all pretense and permanently start buying up most of the debt. Either way, once faith has been lost in U.S. Treasuries the financial world will never, ever be the same.Most Americans have absolutely no idea how fragile the world financial system is right now. Once the rest of the world loses faith in the U.S. dollar and in U.S. Treasuries this entire thing could completely unravel very quickly.The Federal Reserve is playing a very dangerous game. They are openly threatening the delicate balance of the world financial system.Once the toothpaste is out of the tube, it is really hard to put it back in again. Cross your fingers and hold on tight, because things are going to get really bumpy ahead.
Federal Reserve to print billions of dollars in massive shadow stimulusBy Agence France-Presse Tuesday, November 2nd, 2010 -- 5:23 pm
The Federal Reserve's policy-setting panel began a crucial two-day meeting Tuesday, poised to cast aside its long-held reluctance to micro-manage the economy in a bid to avoid a lost decade of growth.The central bank's open market committee (FOMC) is expected to approve massive stimulus spending not seen since the depths of the economic crisis.At the conclusion of the meeting Wednesday, the Fed is expected to announce it will resume the large-scale purchase of long-term US bonds -- essentially printing billions of dollars -- in the hope of boosting a weak recovery.
While the Fed took similar measures during the crisis, it is unprecedented when the economy is not teetering on the edge of collapse, raising protests from some Fed members who fear it is unnecessary and will fuel long-term inflation.Critics of the policy argue that although the recovery is painfully slow, markets should be allowed to do their work. They also worry that if the policy fails the Fed's credibility will be wrecked.I think that this will quite possibly be the worst mistake by the Fed in a generation, said Stephen Stanley of Pierpont Securities.But supporters argue that the Fed is failing in both of the prongs of its dual mandate, with unemployment and inflation both at unsustainable levels and must act.Since Fed chairman Ben Bernanke first suggested the possibility in late September, and confirmed it in October, markets and most economists have penciled in another round of quantitative easing (QE) as a solid bet.Goldman Sachs analysts and others predicted the rate-setting Federal Open Market Committee would start with a purchase of about 500 billion dollars in Treasury bonds.The Fed already has poured in more than 1.5 trillion dollars to spark a recovery.
The FOMC meeting opened Tuesday in the thick of hotly contested congressional and local elections nationwide.President Barack Obama's Democrats are poised to lose seats in Congress to Republicans, who oppose the administration's massive stimulus spending that dragged the economy out of the worst recession since the Great Depression, but ran up sky-high deficits doing it.A government report Friday showing only modest third-quarter economic growth bolstered expectations of further Fed stimulus to lower long-term interest rates and fight off deflationary pressure in the slack economy.The world's largest economy grew at a 2.0 percent annual rate in July-September, in line with expectations, slightly more than a 1.7 percent expansion in the second quarter.Economists consider that economic growth must reach about three percent for some time to significantly reduce high unemployment.But more than a year after the recession officially ended, unemployment has been hovering near double-digits.
When the government reports payroll data on Friday, the jobless rate was expected to remain stuck at 9.6 percent for the third straight month in October.The US economic recovery continues on, but growth remains too weak to cause a serious improvement in the labor market, said Augustine Faucher at Moody's Analytics.Amid that backdrop the Fed has left interest rates at historic lows and is unlikely to change that stance any time soon.Nomura Global Economics analysts predicted the FOMC statement would include a commitment to continue buying until the committee's forecasts show significant progress toward full employment and inflation approaches more acceptable levels.
The Fed No Longer Cares About Hiding The Fact It Is Killing The Dollar
Steve Watson Infowars.com November 4, 2010
A number of prominent figures within the financial world are warning that a second round of quantitative easing, expected to be announced today by the Federal Reserve, will have disastrous consequences for the US dollar and the global economy.The Fed will release a statement this afternoon, most likely confirming that it is to buy at least $500 billion of long-term securities, in the form of printing money out of thin air.The justification is to offset deflationary fears and stimulate spending, however, critics have refuted this outlook.
Peter Schiff, CEO of Euro Pacific Capital notes:At the end of the day, all this deflation talk is a red herring. The true purpose of QE 2 is to disguise the decreasing ability of the Treasury to finance its debts. As global demand for dollar-denominated debt falls, the Fed is looking for an excuse to pick up the slack. By announcing QE 2, it can monetize government debt without the markets perceiving a funding problem.I think that this will quite possibly be the worst mistake by the Fed in a generation, adds Stephen Stanley of Pierpont Securities.Bill Gross, the manager of the world’s largest mutual fund, told Reuters on Monday that he fears that the measures will result in a catastrophic decline in the value of the dollar:
I think a 20 percent decline in the dollar is possible, Gross said.When a central bank prints trillions of dollars of checks, which is not necessarily what (a second round of quantitative easing) will do in terms of the amount, but if it gets into that territory—that is a debasement of the dollar in terms of the supply of dollars on a global basis, Gross told Reuters in an interview at his PIMCO headquarters.
QEII not only produces more dollars but it also lowers the yield that investors earn on them and makes foreigners, which is the key link to the currencies, it makes foreigners less willing to hold dollars in current form or at current prices, Gross added.The Fed seems unconcerned that the public impression it is creating is that it is clearly acting to debase the US dollar.It’s a desperate act, says Jeremy Grantham, co-founder of the investment firm GMO. Grantham says it’s a clear message from the Fed to the rest of the world: The U.S. doesn’t care if the dollar weakens.
James D. Hamilton, a University of California, San Diego economist notes that Bernanke may risk increasing expectations for higher inflation by too much, causing a shake- up in currency and bond markets.That perception alone would bring about a series of immediate challenges, such as a rapid flight from the dollar, commodity speculation and possible under-subscription to Treasury auctions, said Hamilton, a former visiting scholar at the Fed board and the New York and Atlanta district banks.
The real ugly question is, will this ultimately end up being inflationary? said Scott Minerd, the Santa Monica, California-based chief investment officer at Guggenheim Partners LLC, who helps oversee $76 billion. In the long run, five to 10 years from now or in the next decade, this is going to be a massive problem.The London Telegraph’s International Business Editor, Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, agrees with this outlook, noting that QE2 risks currency wars and the end of dollar hegemony:The Fed’s QE2 risks accelerating the demise of the dollar-based currency system, perhaps leading to an unstable tripod with the euro and yuan, or a hybrid gold standard, or a multi-metal bancor along lines proposed by John Maynard Keynes in the 1940s.” Evans-Pritchard writes, referring to the stated intention to institute a new global currency out of the ashes of the crippled world economy.The most noted critics of the plan, however, have been Fed members themselves who fear the plan is dangerous, unnecessary bargain with the devil that will fuel long-term inflation.
As reported by Bloomberg:Kansas City’s Thomas Hoenig, who has already dissented six straight times, said Oct. 25 that he opposes more easing and because it’s a very dangerous gamble that may accelerate inflation and create asset price bubbles. Dallas Fed President Richard Fisher and the Philadelphia Fed’s Charles Plosser have also spoken out since the FOMC’s last meeting against more action by the central bank.In addition, Minneapolis Fed President Narayana Kocherlakota has questioned whether QE2 will work. Richmond Fed President Jeffrey Lacker has also seemed to doubt whether it is necessary.Instead they say that the markets should be allowed to correct themselves.

For Fed’s bond purchases, low expectations
By Zachary Roth – Wed Nov 3, 5:10 pm ET
The Federal Reserve announced Wednesday that it will make a second large purchase of Treasury bonds by the end of June in a bid to kick start the economy. The move wasn't a surprise, though at $600 billion, the buy was somewhat larger than many observers had been expecting -- and in a statement, the Fed left the door open to further purchases down the road.The idea behind the move is what's known in market-speak as QE2 -- this marking the second time the Fed has tried some quantitative easing of market conditions since the 2008 meltdown. If the bond purchases significantly reduces long-term interest rates, the thinking goes, that will probably make it easier for homeowners to refinance, and businesses to borrow money so as to expand.But there are risks. QE2 could cause spikes in inflation, creating future bubbles of the kind that triggered the current downturn or leading to a rapid decline in the value of the dollar. Or, the purchase may simply prove ineffective at stimulating lending, leading to the perception that the Fed has run out of effective ways to address the economic situation.
Here's a quick rundown of how some observers see it:
• Scott Pardee, a former New York Fed official now teaching at Middlebury College, contends that the move may expose the Fed's policy weaknesses in the present downturn. In an interview with Bloomberg News, he warned that Ben Bernanke and Co. are, as Bloomberg put it,risking a strategy that may either fail or fuel inflation and asset bubbles.
• And some macroeconomists take the same view--even within the Fed itself. Thomas Hoenig, the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, dissented from the Fed's action. Hoenig was concerned that this continued high level of monetary accommodation increased the risks of future financial imbalances and, over time, would cause an increase in long-term inflation expectations that could destabilize the economy,according to the Fed's statement.
• Leonard Santow, an economic consultant, meanwhile, said he thinks the move will have little impact. Monetary policy is already unsustainably easy, and adding to the Fed's generosity through more quantitative easing will do little to stimulate the economy,Santow told the New York Times.
• Even those who aren't opposed to the move, like former Fed governor Laurence Meyer, seem to think that fiscal policy can have much more of an impact on the economy than anything the Fed can do. Bernanke has said that fiscal stimulus, accommodated by the Fed, is the single most powerful action the government can take for lowering the unemployment rate, when short-term rates are already at zero, Meyer told the Times. He has nearly pleaded with Congress for fiscal stimulus, but he can't count on it. So he has to act as if that's not going to happen.
• Rick Newman of U.S. News and World Report judges that QE2 will probably have far less impact on the economy than QE1, simply because of its smaller size. He also says the Fed's bond purchase won't do much to move the markets, because investors have been expecting the move for some time, and the effects have therefore already been priced in.Indeed, for months the markets have been rising on expectations of the Fed acting, and they continued to climb steadily Wednesday afternoon.
• Jeff Kleintop, chief market strategist at LPL Financial in Boston, likewise questions how effective the move will be. This provides the market with additional clarity,Kleintop told Reuters. The question is whether this is enough.
• Richard Franulovich, senior currency strategist at Westpac in New York, also counts himself among the skeptics. I am slightly underwhelmed,he told Reuters.
• And Matthew Yglesias, a blogger with the Center for American Progress, anticipates that the reality of modestly elevated inflation should somewhat speed the debt-payback cycle and modestly reduce the real interest rate, both of which can spur economic activity.But he'd like to see more urgency from the central bank in getting the economy moving again.
So to sum up, some observers expect QE2 to do more harm than good. Others think it may have a positive effect, but don't think it'll be adequate, at least on its own, to boost the economy on the scale the situation demands.If there's anyone out there who strongly believes that this will be the magic bullet to fix our economic woes, we sure haven't found them.But with fiscal stimulus looking to be off the table given the Republican gains in the midterms Tuesday night, QE2 may be something close to the government's only option.
Barnier to end domination of bank lobby in EU advisory groups
LEIGH PHILLIPS 03.11.2010 @ 09:25 CET
EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - EU internal market commissioner Michel Barnier has said he is to move against the domination of the financial sector in expert groups that advise the European Commission on financial regulation.Mr Barnier, who is also responsible for reform of financial regulation across the bloc, on Monday (1 November) announced that he has asked the civil servants under him to perform a review of the expert-group system and revise it to provide for greater representation from consumer groups, trade unions, small businesses and NGOs.I remain convinced that more needs to be done to enhance the active participation of civil society organisations in Internal Market policymaking in order to fully achieve a fair balance on non-industry stakeholders' representation in our consultation process, he wrote in a letter to lobby watchdog group Alter-EU.The commission's expert groups, which advise the EU executive on controversial issues and are often the source of policy concepts, have been criticised by pro-transparency NGOs as undemocratic as despite the power they wield, they remain unelected and unbalanced due to the preponderance of industry representatives on them.A total of 11 out of the 25 expert groups advising on financial regulation issues all have a majority of representatives from the banking lobby, allowing industry representatives direct access to officials - in some cases overwhelmingly so.
The Payment Systems Market Expert Group for example, maintains 43 representatives from business, and just two from government, one from academia and one trade unionist. In another expert group on the monitoring of codes of conduct in the clearing and settlement sector, the inbalance is so lopsided that it has 62 industry representatives to four from government.The orders given to his services to reconsider how the expert group representatives are picked follows on from a commitment that the commissioner made in his confirmation hearing before the European Parliament in January, stressing the need for balanced representation in the groups.Alter-EU for their part have cheered the commissioner's move, saying that such changes if successful can mark a turning point towards a more sustainable financial sector that is beneficial for society at large.However, in order to ensure that new financial regulation development reflects the demands of the EU Treaty that all citizens shall receive equal treatment from [EU] institutions, the group said in a letter responding to the commissioner's move, it is not enough just to add a handful more representatives to the expert groups.Instead, in order to avoid what the group calls corporate capture of decision-making, it is essential that commercial interests - both financial services providers and business users of such services - do not have the majority in any expert group.
OECD computers hacked as EU conducts cyber-games
ANDREW RETTMAN Today NOV 4,10 @ 12:31 CET
EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - The OECD, the Paris-based club of the world's 33 richest countries, has been successfully hacked by people looking for sensitive information on money laundering, high-level corruption and tax evasion. OECD spokesman Stephen Di Biasio told EUobserver by phone from France on Thursday (4 November) that the body first detected unusual activity in its IT network in August and is still battling to get malware out of its computers three months later despite calling in help from the French security services and private cyber-defence companies.We've got a team trying to close down their points of entry, but we're not in a position today to say we've cleared them out of our system,he said.What we know is it's quite a sophisticated attack. We've got quite high levels of security protocols at the OECD and this has been able to bypass those security measures ... What we are seeing is that it's not a destructive attack. It's obviously fishing for information. Because the OECD works in such a broad array of areas, they are searching around to see what they can get.Mr Di Biasio said the malware appears to have got in via a USB memory stick and that the attacks are coming from "different geographical areas, quite a few points in Asia. He was unable to say if the assault involves a government or a private entity.The suspicion is it came in via USB keys. Our agents travel around the world. They often go to conferences - there are exchanges of information, exchanges of USB keys.The OECD describes itself as a body which brings together the governments of countries committed to democracy and the market economy. It collects economic data and conducts inter-governmental talks on issues including high-level government and corporate corruption, money laundering and tax evasion. Its members include 20 EU countries, as well as Canada, Israel, Japan, Switzerland, Turkey and the US.News of the hack first came out in the specialist, Paris-based publication Intelligence Online on Wednesday, one day before a major EU cyber-security exercise.
The EU simulation, Cyber Europe 2010, is being organised by Enisa, the EU's Crete-based information security agency, and the Joint Research Centre, the European Commission's science wing in Brussels. Modeled on the larger US exercise, Operation Cyber Storm III, launched earlier this year, the EU project is billed as the first-ever pan-European effort of its type. The exercise began at 10am Brussels time on Thursday and is to last until the evening of the same day. It consists of attempts to install and block fake malware on critical online services by around 130 experts sitting at their computers in an operations centre in Crete and in remote locations around Europe.The exercise involves 20 EU countries plus Norway and Switzerland. EU member states Bulgaria, Cyprus, Luxembourg, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Spain, as well as non-EU country Iceland, are taking part as observers. The UK's Office of Cyber Security and CERT, the Computer Emergency Response Team in Estonia, are among those at the heart of the exercise. London in October announced it would invest €670 million in cyber defence in the coming years, while making deep cuts in conventional armed forces. Estonia was in 2007 the target of a mass-scale cyber attack designed to cripple government and financial services. We will have electronic elections in March, so we have also been conducting our own internal exercises concerning that, CERT spokeswoman Katrin Pargmae told this website.Commenting on the outcome of Thursday's experiment, Enisa spokesman Ulf Bergrstrom noted: If we do find holes and gaps in procedures and channels we will firstly need to plug these holes before we can reveal where they need to be plugged.Asked if Nato was involved in this simulation, since it is active in field of cyber defence, Jonathan Todd, a spokesman for the EU commission said: No. This is the first time such an exercise is being organised, but in future we may look at more complex scenarios.The European Commission in September proposed a new law to put hackers in jail for up to five years and to give Enisa new powers to fight internet crime.
US election result raises concerns in Europe
VALENTINA POP Today NOV 4,10 @ 09:47 CET
EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - Most pundits are predicting strained times in EU-US relations after crushing losses by Barack Obama's Democratic Party in midterm elections. But the centre-right European People's Party has congratulated the US Republican opposition party on its victory.Because domestic policy - not foreign policy - was put to the vote in America, I do not anticipate any ruptures in relations with Europe, German foreign minister Guido Westerwelle told German ZDF public broadcaster on Wednesday (3 November) after the US vote count came in.He insisted on the strength of the American president and his country which, in Mr Westerwelle's opinion will preserve continuity in US foreign policy. A spokesman for Chancellor Angela Merkel was also positive, saying he expects little change in US foreign policy after the Republicans took control of Congress by a comfortable margin and left the Democrats with a razor-thin majority of just two seats in the Senate.The only EU politician openly cheering the development was the European People's Party leader, Wilfried Martens.The Belgian politician congratulated the Republican Party for winning yesterday's mid-term elections and announced the visit to Washington of a high-level EPP delegation in December. With the continuation of the global economic and financial crisis, the political dynamics in the US are continuing to evolve in a dramatic way and, among others, underline the importance of strengthening the transatlantic partnership,he said in a statement.
The EPP is an umbrella organisation of all centre-right parties in Europe, currently counting 14 heads of state and government, including Ms Merkel, French President Nicolas Sarkozy and Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi. Some large opposition parties, such as the Popular Party in Spain, are also affiliated with the EPP.
Pundits on both sides of the Atlantic predict bad times ahead for policies close to the EU's heart, however.Mr Obama could not pass climate change legislation this year despite having a nine-seat majority in the US Senate. Next year, US climate change legislation is dead, Bruce Stokes, an expert with the German Marshall Fund of the US, a Washington-based think-tank, said. Expectations are even lower when it comes to the EU-US summit on 20 November, to be held on the margins of a larger Nato summit at the same time in Lisbon The leader of the Liberals in the European Parliament, Guy Verhofstadt, has called on the EU representatives to approach the US government on the issue of war crimes in Iraq, as revealed by the Wikileaks documents published last month.EU officials say the item will not make it onto the agenda however, in a situation reflecting the weakness of transatlantic diplomacy for some.Wikileaks is rather a no-go at the summit, Ulrike Guerot from the European Council on Foreign Relations told this website.But it reflects the history. We are losing the emotional glue with the US. My kids are born after 9/11. They have not experienced a good America,they have only read about them as the bad guys.Russian officials have for their part said the ratification of a Russia-US treaty aimed at reducing nuclear arsenals could be in jeopardy.If they can't do this in the lame-duck session in the next couple of weeks, the chances for ratification by the new Senate will be radically lower,said Konstantin Kosachev, chairman of the International Affairs Committee in the State Duma, as quoted by Wall Street Journal.
Mr Kosachev has asked the Russian parliament to halt its ratification procedure for now, potentially dealing a blow to the Obama administration's reset in Russia-US ties.President Barack Obama has assumed some responsibility for the defeat, acknowledging that the US public is deeply frustrated with the pace of the economic recovery. Facing a divided government, he also said that he will have to work harder to build consensus in Washington.
Chinese leader to parade through Paris ahead of G20 handover
ANDREW WILLIS Today NOV 4,10 @ 09:22 CET
EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - Chinese President Hu Jintao will receive a lavish welcome when he touches down in France on Thursday (4 November), with French President Nicolas Sarkozy hoping stronger ties with Beijing can secure the success of France's tenure at the helm of the G20, set to start later this month.The French president is to personally greet Mr Hu at the airport, before returning together to the Elysee through Paris with a contingent of the Republican Guard on horseback.France's G20 ambitions include fighting currency market volatility and trade disagreements, together with successful reform of the world's multilateral institutions such as the IMF. China's increasing economic might means success is strongly linked to keeping Beijing onboard throughout the discussions, with a string of achievements likely to boost Mr Sarkozy's re-election campaign in 2012.For his part, Mr Hu may be keen to use the French visit to stave off bitter discussion over the value of China's currency at this month's G20 leaders' meeting in Seoul.China has shown its willingness to act in the G20 forum but is sensitive to losses in sovereign economic decision making, expressly forbidding any mention of the yuan issue in recent final communiques.Last month's EU-China summit ended in discord following strong argument over the issue. I say to Europe's leaders - don't join the chorus pressing [China] to revalue the yuan, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao told a business forum taking place in the margins of the political meeting.Others have chimed in. France's presidency must have the patience to listen to everyone, especially on the reform of the global financial system,deputy foreign minister Fu Ying told Le Figaro newspaper ahead of Mr Hu's visit.The three-day official tour is also expected to see a record number of commercial contracts signed, including an anticipated major order for passenger planes for European aircraft maker Airbus.
Relations between the two sides have improved over the past year, following a sharp disagreement in 2008 when Mr Sarkozy met the Dalai Lama, Tibet's spiritual leader. Paris has remained quiet following last month's Nobel peace prize for Chinese democracy activist Liu Xiaobo.Reports suggest that Beijing has embarked on an active campaign to reduce the impact of the Nobel award, with the Chinese Embassy in Oslo sending official letters to a number of European embassies in the Norwegian capital, asking them not to attend the 10 December award ceremony, say unnamed Western diplomats according to AFP.On Friday, Mr Hu will travel to the Mediterranean port town of Nice, where afternoon talks are expected to centre on foreign affairs, including Iran's nuclear ambitions.The following day he will fly to Portugal where the government has welcomed earlier statements expressing Beijing's willingness to buy Portuguese sovereign debt. Similar announcements prior to a Chinese official visit to Greece last month point to Beijing's growing use of its huge foreign currency reserves to buy diplomatic support.Both Portugal and Greece, together with Ireland, are seen as the eurozone's most vulnerable economies.On Wednesday Portugal's parliament passed a crucial austerity budget to cut the country's high debt levels, after the opposition upheld an agreement with the minority government to abstain from voting.
Commissioner envisages robust EU crisis centre
ANDREW RETTMAN 02.11.2010 @ 17:14 CET
EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - EU aid commissioner Kristalina Georgieva is keen to set up a 24-hour-a-day disaster-monitoring centre with access to classified information on EU foreign policy and the authority to call in military assets from EU countries where necessary.When I wake up in the morning and open my eyes, the first thing I do is go to the message of the day on my iPad. They keep them short. They use a standard distribution list - all the member states get it, the relevant EU institutions, the Crisis Room. It's very tightly written - events, bullet points. All the information comes from member states or countries beyond the EU. If it's from an outside source, like the UN or Reliefweb, they give the sources, she told EUobserver in a recent interview.Ms Georgieva was speaking after her proposal last week to set up a new European Emergency Response Centre in Brussels to better cope with natural and man-made disasters around the world.Her message of the day is currently written by the duty officer in the commission's Monitoring and Information Centre (MIC), quite likely on his or her laptop at home. The MIC itself is situated in the Avenue de Beaulieu in Brussels, about five kilometres away from Ms Georgieva's office in the main commission building.The new centre is to have a team of duty officers at their desk round the clock and to move next door to Ms Georgieva, possibly in the Crisis Room in the Charlemagne building, once the current Crisis Room officers join the European External Action Service (EEAS) in the Axa building down the road.I like being with my troops, the commissioner said.Unlike the Crisis Room and the EU's Joint Situation Centre (SitCen), which sniff out early signs of conflicts or terrorist attacks, the aid centre's main job will be to create protocols on how to respond to various kinds of disasters, such as earthquakes or bursting dams, and to model how they are likely to unfold once they strike.Ms Georgieva wants the centre to be staffed by EU officials and seconded civil protection experts from EU countries on the model of SitCen and to work closely with the EEAS.
I have been in the Crisis Room and I know how they operate - they have people scanning the newswires, the internet, twitter. Obviously we are not interested in duplicating what is being done somewhere else, so long as we can plug this [new centre] into a well-functioning system, she said. In order to do this, we will need to have the same level of security clearance, otherwise there will be firewalls between their information and ours ... I see objectively the need to lift our security levels to match theirs.Ms Georgieva noted how civil protection and conflict prevention units work in some EU countries as a potential model for the EU set-up.In some member states, the civil protection team have their own crisis room. They monitor the information that is necessary for deployment of their teams and their equipment. But if there is a higher level of emergency, where you deploy civil protection assets but you also deploy other assets, such as the military or intelligence, then the civil protection force plugs into this more comprehensive crisis management structure. They even have rooms where the seating [for each type of officer] is marked out, so if you are from the civil protection side, you know exactly where to sit.The Bulgarian commissioner made it clear that she wants EU countries to put some military assets at her disposal as a last resort. Her office would call on the units to be deployed where necessary, but the EU capitals would retain operational command.When asked by this website if the European Emergency Response Centre will need the services of men and women with guns, she answered: Of course, yes.Ms Georgieva noted that humanitarian organisations and the military are often mistrustful of each other and that badly-deployed troops can create rather than solve problems. If you take a military truck and you paint it white because white trucks don't get attacked, well, what happens next is that white trucks do get attacked and humanitarian workers get killed,she said.She added that, as in Haiti and Pakistan, military assets may be needed to provide relief and security, however.
In Haiti, the US military, European military, Canadian, were deployed massively, appropriately, under UN co-ordination, primarily for logistics, clearing up rubble. But also some security, because here we had a situation where chaos could erupt, the commissioner said.The military has to be included in our thinking on relief operations.
STORMS HURRICANES-TORNADOES
LUKE 21:25-26
25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity;(MASS CONFUSION) the sea and the waves roaring;(FIERCE WINDS)
26 Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
Confusion, fear as Haiti camps evacuate for storm By JONATHAN M. KATZ, Associated Press – Thu Nov 4, 6:56 am ET
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti – For nearly 10 months, more than 1 million people in Haiti's earthquake camps have been walking a precarious line: Trying to get out and find good homes without losing their tents and the possessions they still have.Now a potential hurricane threatens to upend that careful balance. The Haitian government has called for the voluntary evacuation of all the quake zone's camps ahead of Friday's expected arrival of Tropical Storm Tomas, telling residents to find somewhere else to go.People said, We've been displaced before. What's going to happen to us? Are we going to be able to get back? said Bryant Castro, an American Refugee Committee staffer who is managing the nearly 8,000 people at the Corail-Cesselesse relocation camp.Survivors of the devastating Jan. 12 earthquake have fought forced evictions, weathered storms, organized themselves into security committees, and rallied for better services and aid. Now they are being told to leave and few have anywhere to go.The government says there are more than 1,000 shelters available, but the term is loose and can refer to any building expected to stand up to high winds. The U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said there is a need to identify safe public infrastructure for use as potential storm shelters.Painfully slow reconstruction from the quake, prior storms and the recent commitment of government resources to fight a growing cholera epidemic have left people with few options as overtaxed aid workers struggle to help.We are using radio stations to announce to people that if they don't have a place to go, but they have friends and families, they should move into a place that is secure, said civil protection official Nadia Lochard, who oversees the department that includes the capital, Port-au-Prince.Fear and confusion have swept through many of the camps. Tensions boiled over into scuffles Wednesday at Corail when managers tried to explain a planned voluntary evacuation of nearly 8,000 people from ShelterBox tents once promised to be hurricane-resistent.
The tentative plan there, as at several other camps, is to move some people to schools, churches, and other structures such as abandoned prisons. But most of the homeless are being told to seek out friends or family who can take them in.As news of Tomas' predicted pass slowly filtered through Port-au-Prince via wind-up radios and megaphone announcements, unease set in among people who already lost homes and loved ones in the quake and saw their tents ripped apart in lesser storms this year.
The tension is elevated. People are really concerned about their belongings. They're posing a lot of legitimate questions, Castro said.Concerns are even greater in the western reaches of Haiti's southern peninsula, where heavy flooding is predicted.
Disaster officials have extended a red alert, their highest storm warning, to all regions of the country, as the storm is expected to wind its way up the west coast of the island of Hispaniola, which Haiti shares with the Dominican Republic, through storm-vulnerable Gonaives and Haiti's second-largest city, Cap-Haitien, sometime Friday.The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami announced a hurricane warning for Haiti and the southeastern Bahamas and Turks and Caicos. A tropical storm warning was issued for Jamaica, along with tropical storm watches for the southern coast of the Dominican Republic and eastern Cuba.Early Thursday, the storm was about 315 miles (510 kilometers) southwest of Port-au-Prince, and about 160 miles (255 kilometers) south-southeast of Kingston, Jamaica. Tomas had maximum sustained winds of 50 mph (85 kph) and was moving north-northwest near 7 mph (11 kph).
Jamaican soldiers would evacuate hundreds of people in the island's eastern region Thursday and move them into emergency shelters ahead of the storm, Information Minister Daryl Vaz said.We will be going all out to make good sense prevail, he said at a news conference Wednesday.Most of the people who will be evacuated are squatters living along unstable gullies that often flood during heavy rainstorms.
Kareen Bennett, a forecaster with Jamaica's Meteorological Service, said heavy rains will lash the eastern region by Friday morning.Jamaica is still struggling to recuperate from floods unleashed by Tropical Storm Nicole in late September that killed at least 13 people and caused an estimated $125 million in damage.People who are still using boats to move about in the island's rural western regions also will be moved to shelters, said Ronald Jackson, of the emergency management office.
Associated Press writer Howard Campbell in Kingston, Jamaica, contributed to this report.

9 Reasons Why Quantitative Easing Is Bad For The U.S. Economy
The Economic Collapse November 4, 2010
The Federal Reserve is pumping 900 billion dollars into the system and that is going to have a significant impact.Buckle up and hold on – a new round of quantitative easing is here and things could start getting very ugly in the financial world over the coming months. The truth is that many economists fear that an out of control Federal Reserve is crossing the Rubicon by announcing another wave of quantitative easing. Have we now reached a point where the Federal Reserve is simply going to fire up the printing presses and shower massive wads of cash into the financial system whenever the U.S. economy is not growing fast enough? If so, what does the mean for inflation, the stability of the world financial system and the future of the U.S. dollar? The Fed says that the plan is to purchase $600 billion of U.S. Treasury securities by the middle of 2011. In addition, the Federal Reserve has announced that it will be reinvesting an additional $250 billion to $300 billion from the proceeds of its mortgage portfolio in U.S. Treasury securities over the same time period. So that is a total injection of about $900 billion. Perhaps the Fed thought that number would sound a little less ominous than $1 trillion. In any event, the Federal Reserve seems convinced that quantitative easing is going to work this time. So should we believe the Federal Reserve? The truth is that the Federal Reserve has tried this before. In November 2008, the Federal Reserve announced a $600 billion quantitative easing program. Four months later the Fed felt that even more cash was necessary, so they upped the total to $1.8 trillion.
So did quantitative easing work then?
No, not really. It may have helped stabilize the economy in the short-term, but unemployment is still staggeringly high. Monthly U.S. home sales continue to come in at close to record low levels. Businesses are borrowing less money. Individuals are borrowing less money. Stores are closing left and right.The Fed is desperate to crank the debt spiral that our economic system is now based upon back up again. The Fed thinks that somehow if it can just pump enough nearly free liquidity into the banking system, the banks will turn around and lend it out at a markup and that this will get the debt spiral cranking again.The sad truth is that the Federal Reserve is not trying to build an economic recovery on solid financial principles. Rather, what the Federal Reserve envisions is an economic recovery based on new debt creation.
So will $900 billion be enough to get the debt spiral cranked up again?
No.
If 1.8 trillion dollars didn’t work before, why does the Federal Reserve think that 900 billion dollars is going to work now? This new round of quantitative easing will create more inflation and will cause speculative asset bubbles, but it is not going to fix what is wrong with the economy. The damage is just too vast as Charles Hugh Smith recently explained….Anyone who believes a meager one or two trillion dollars in pump-priming can overcome $15-$20 trillion in overpriced assets and $10 trillion in uncollectible debt may well be disappointed.In fact, economists over at Goldman Sachs estimate that it would take a staggering $4 trillion in quantitative easing to get the economy rolling again.Of course that may eventually be what happens. The Fed may be starting at $900 billion just to get the door open. With these kinds of bureaucrats, once you give them an inch they usually end up taking a mile.So why should we be concerned about quantitative easing? The following are 9 reasons why quantitative easing is bad for the U.S. economy….
#1 Quantitative Easing Will Damage The Value Of The U.S. Dollar
Each time you add a new dollar to the system, it decreases the value of each existing dollar by just a little bit. Now the Federal Reserve is pumping 900 billion dollars into the system and that is going to have a significant impact. Bill Gross, the manager of the largest mutual fund in the entire world, said on Monday that he believes that more quantitative easing could result in a decline of the U.S. dollar of up to 20 percent….I think a 20 percent decline in the dollar is possible.
#2 Inflation Is Going To Hit Already Struggling U.S. Consumers Really Hard
Already, investors have been fleeing from the U.S. dollar and other paper currencies and have been flocking to commodities, precious metals and oil. That means that the price of food is going to go up. The price of gasoline is also going to go up. American families are going to find their budgets stretched even more in the months ahead.
#3 Once An Inflationary Spiral Gets Going It Is Really Hard To Stop
The Federal Reserve is playing a very dangerous game by flirting with inflation. Once an inflationary spiral gets going, it is really difficult to stop. Just ask anyone who lived through the Weimar Republic or anyone who lives in Zimbabwe today. If the Federal Reserve is now going to be dumping hundreds of billions of fresh dollars into the system whenever the economy gets into trouble it is inevitable that we will see rampant inflation at some point.
#4 Inflation Is A Hidden Tax On Every American
Tens of millions of Americans have worked incredibly hard to save up a little bit of money. These Americans are counting on that money to pay for a home, or to pay for retirement or to pay for the education of their children. Well, inflation is like a hidden tax on all of those savings. In fact, inflation is a hidden tax on every single dollar that all of us own. We have been taxed more than enough – we certainly don’t need the Federal Reserve imposing another hidden tax on all of us.
#5 The Solution To The Housing Bubble Is Not Another Housing Bubble
Today, approximately a third of all U.S. real estate is estimated to have negative equity. The Federal Reserve apparently believes that by flooding the system with gigantic sacks of cash banks will start making home loans like crazy again and home prices will rise substantially once again – thus wiping out most of that negative equity.But the solution to the housing bubble is not another housing bubble. The kinds of crazy home loans that were made back in the middle of the decade should never be made again. Market forces should be allowed to bring the housing market to a new equilibrium where ordinary Americans can actually afford to purchase homes. But that is not how our system works anymore. Today, everything has to be manipulated.
#6 More Quantitative Easing Threatens To Destabilize The Global Financial System
We have already entered a time of increasing global financial instability, and the Federal Reserve is not going to help things by introducing hundreds of billions of new dollars into the game. Over the past two decades, bubble after bubble has caused tremendous economic problems, and now all of this new money could give rise to new bubbles. Already, we see financial institutions and investors pumping up carry trade bubbles, engaging in currency speculation and driving up commodity prices to ridiculous levels.
#7 Quantitative Easing Is An Aggressive Move In A World Already On The Verge Of A Currency War
Quantitative easing will likely help U.S. exporters by causing the value of the U.S. dollar to sink. However, this gain by U.S. exporters will come at the expense of foreigners. It is essentially a zero sum game. So all of those exporting countries that are already upset with us will become even more furious as the U.S. dollar declines. Could we witness the first all-out global currency war in 2011?
#8 Quantitative Easing Threatens The Status Of The Dollar As The World Reserve Currency
As the Federal Reserve continues to play games with the U.S. dollar, quite a few nations around the globe will start evaluating whether or not they want to continue to trade with the U.S. dollar and use it as a reserve currency.In fact, a recent article on The Market Oracle website explained how this is already happening….In September, China supported a Russian proposal to start direct trading using the yuan and the ruble rather than pricing their trade or taking payment in U.S. dollars or other foreign currencies. China then negotiated a similar deal with Brazil. And on the eve of the IMF meetings in Washington on Friday, Premier Wen stopped off in Istanbul to reach agreement with Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan to use their own currencies in a planned tripling Turkish-Chinese trade to $50 billion over the next five years, effectively excluding the dollar.
#9 It Is Going To Become More Expensive For The U.S. Government To Borrow Money
Right now, the U.S. government has been able to borrow money at ridiculously low interest rates. But as the Federal Reserve keeps buying up hundreds of billions in U.S. Treasuries, the rest of the world is going to start refusing to participate in the ongoing Ponzi scheme.Peter Schiff, the CEO of Euro Pacific Capital, says that one of the big reasons for more quantitative easing is because the U.S. government is already starting to have difficulty finding enough people to borrow from….At the end of the day, all this deflation talk is a red herring. The true purpose of QE 2 is to disguise the decreasing ability of the Treasury to finance its debts. As global demand for dollar-denominated debt falls, the Fed is looking for an excuse to pick up the slack. By announcing QE 2, it can monetize government debt without the markets perceiving a funding problem.But the truth is that foreigners are not stupid. They can see the shell game that is being played. As Bill Gross noted on Monday, U.S. government debt will soon become a lot less attractive to foreign investors….
QEII not only produces more dollars but it also lowers the yield that investors earn on them and makes foreigners, which is the key link to the currencies, it makes foreigners less willing to hold dollars in current form or at current prices.As foreigners begin to balk at all of this nonsense, the U.S. government will either have to start paying higher interest rates on government debt in order to attract enough investors, or the Federal Reserve will just have to drop all pretense and permanently start buying up most of the debt. Either way, once faith has been lost in U.S. Treasuries the financial world will never, ever be the same.Most Americans have absolutely no idea how fragile the world financial system is right now. Once the rest of the world loses faith in the U.S. dollar and in U.S. Treasuries this entire thing could completely unravel very quickly.The Federal Reserve is playing a very dangerous game. They are openly threatening the delicate balance of the world financial system.Once the toothpaste is out of the tube, it is really hard to put it back in again. Cross your fingers and hold on tight, because things are going to get really bumpy ahead.
Federal Reserve to print billions of dollars in massive shadow stimulusBy Agence France-Presse Tuesday, November 2nd, 2010 -- 5:23 pm
The Federal Reserve's policy-setting panel began a crucial two-day meeting Tuesday, poised to cast aside its long-held reluctance to micro-manage the economy in a bid to avoid a lost decade of growth.The central bank's open market committee (FOMC) is expected to approve massive stimulus spending not seen since the depths of the economic crisis.At the conclusion of the meeting Wednesday, the Fed is expected to announce it will resume the large-scale purchase of long-term US bonds -- essentially printing billions of dollars -- in the hope of boosting a weak recovery.
While the Fed took similar measures during the crisis, it is unprecedented when the economy is not teetering on the edge of collapse, raising protests from some Fed members who fear it is unnecessary and will fuel long-term inflation.Critics of the policy argue that although the recovery is painfully slow, markets should be allowed to do their work. They also worry that if the policy fails the Fed's credibility will be wrecked.I think that this will quite possibly be the worst mistake by the Fed in a generation, said Stephen Stanley of Pierpont Securities.But supporters argue that the Fed is failing in both of the prongs of its dual mandate, with unemployment and inflation both at unsustainable levels and must act.Since Fed chairman Ben Bernanke first suggested the possibility in late September, and confirmed it in October, markets and most economists have penciled in another round of quantitative easing (QE) as a solid bet.Goldman Sachs analysts and others predicted the rate-setting Federal Open Market Committee would start with a purchase of about 500 billion dollars in Treasury bonds.The Fed already has poured in more than 1.5 trillion dollars to spark a recovery.
The FOMC meeting opened Tuesday in the thick of hotly contested congressional and local elections nationwide.President Barack Obama's Democrats are poised to lose seats in Congress to Republicans, who oppose the administration's massive stimulus spending that dragged the economy out of the worst recession since the Great Depression, but ran up sky-high deficits doing it.A government report Friday showing only modest third-quarter economic growth bolstered expectations of further Fed stimulus to lower long-term interest rates and fight off deflationary pressure in the slack economy.The world's largest economy grew at a 2.0 percent annual rate in July-September, in line with expectations, slightly more than a 1.7 percent expansion in the second quarter.Economists consider that economic growth must reach about three percent for some time to significantly reduce high unemployment.But more than a year after the recession officially ended, unemployment has been hovering near double-digits.
When the government reports payroll data on Friday, the jobless rate was expected to remain stuck at 9.6 percent for the third straight month in October.The US economic recovery continues on, but growth remains too weak to cause a serious improvement in the labor market, said Augustine Faucher at Moody's Analytics.Amid that backdrop the Fed has left interest rates at historic lows and is unlikely to change that stance any time soon.Nomura Global Economics analysts predicted the FOMC statement would include a commitment to continue buying until the committee's forecasts show significant progress toward full employment and inflation approaches more acceptable levels.
The Fed No Longer Cares About Hiding The Fact It Is Killing The Dollar
Steve Watson Infowars.com November 4, 2010
A number of prominent figures within the financial world are warning that a second round of quantitative easing, expected to be announced today by the Federal Reserve, will have disastrous consequences for the US dollar and the global economy.The Fed will release a statement this afternoon, most likely confirming that it is to buy at least $500 billion of long-term securities, in the form of printing money out of thin air.The justification is to offset deflationary fears and stimulate spending, however, critics have refuted this outlook.
Peter Schiff, CEO of Euro Pacific Capital notes:At the end of the day, all this deflation talk is a red herring. The true purpose of QE 2 is to disguise the decreasing ability of the Treasury to finance its debts. As global demand for dollar-denominated debt falls, the Fed is looking for an excuse to pick up the slack. By announcing QE 2, it can monetize government debt without the markets perceiving a funding problem.I think that this will quite possibly be the worst mistake by the Fed in a generation, adds Stephen Stanley of Pierpont Securities.Bill Gross, the manager of the world’s largest mutual fund, told Reuters on Monday that he fears that the measures will result in a catastrophic decline in the value of the dollar:
I think a 20 percent decline in the dollar is possible, Gross said.When a central bank prints trillions of dollars of checks, which is not necessarily what (a second round of quantitative easing) will do in terms of the amount, but if it gets into that territory—that is a debasement of the dollar in terms of the supply of dollars on a global basis, Gross told Reuters in an interview at his PIMCO headquarters.
QEII not only produces more dollars but it also lowers the yield that investors earn on them and makes foreigners, which is the key link to the currencies, it makes foreigners less willing to hold dollars in current form or at current prices, Gross added.The Fed seems unconcerned that the public impression it is creating is that it is clearly acting to debase the US dollar.It’s a desperate act, says Jeremy Grantham, co-founder of the investment firm GMO. Grantham says it’s a clear message from the Fed to the rest of the world: The U.S. doesn’t care if the dollar weakens.
James D. Hamilton, a University of California, San Diego economist notes that Bernanke may risk increasing expectations for higher inflation by too much, causing a shake- up in currency and bond markets.That perception alone would bring about a series of immediate challenges, such as a rapid flight from the dollar, commodity speculation and possible under-subscription to Treasury auctions, said Hamilton, a former visiting scholar at the Fed board and the New York and Atlanta district banks.
The real ugly question is, will this ultimately end up being inflationary? said Scott Minerd, the Santa Monica, California-based chief investment officer at Guggenheim Partners LLC, who helps oversee $76 billion. In the long run, five to 10 years from now or in the next decade, this is going to be a massive problem.The London Telegraph’s International Business Editor, Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, agrees with this outlook, noting that QE2 risks currency wars and the end of dollar hegemony:The Fed’s QE2 risks accelerating the demise of the dollar-based currency system, perhaps leading to an unstable tripod with the euro and yuan, or a hybrid gold standard, or a multi-metal bancor along lines proposed by John Maynard Keynes in the 1940s.” Evans-Pritchard writes, referring to the stated intention to institute a new global currency out of the ashes of the crippled world economy.The most noted critics of the plan, however, have been Fed members themselves who fear the plan is dangerous, unnecessary bargain with the devil that will fuel long-term inflation.
As reported by Bloomberg:Kansas City’s Thomas Hoenig, who has already dissented six straight times, said Oct. 25 that he opposes more easing and because it’s a very dangerous gamble that may accelerate inflation and create asset price bubbles. Dallas Fed President Richard Fisher and the Philadelphia Fed’s Charles Plosser have also spoken out since the FOMC’s last meeting against more action by the central bank.In addition, Minneapolis Fed President Narayana Kocherlakota has questioned whether QE2 will work. Richmond Fed President Jeffrey Lacker has also seemed to doubt whether it is necessary.Instead they say that the markets should be allowed to correct themselves.

For Fed’s bond purchases, low expectations
By Zachary Roth – Wed Nov 3, 5:10 pm ET
The Federal Reserve announced Wednesday that it will make a second large purchase of Treasury bonds by the end of June in a bid to kick start the economy. The move wasn't a surprise, though at $600 billion, the buy was somewhat larger than many observers had been expecting -- and in a statement, the Fed left the door open to further purchases down the road.The idea behind the move is what's known in market-speak as QE2 -- this marking the second time the Fed has tried some quantitative easing of market conditions since the 2008 meltdown. If the bond purchases significantly reduces long-term interest rates, the thinking goes, that will probably make it easier for homeowners to refinance, and businesses to borrow money so as to expand.But there are risks. QE2 could cause spikes in inflation, creating future bubbles of the kind that triggered the current downturn or leading to a rapid decline in the value of the dollar. Or, the purchase may simply prove ineffective at stimulating lending, leading to the perception that the Fed has run out of effective ways to address the economic situation.
Here's a quick rundown of how some observers see it:
• Scott Pardee, a former New York Fed official now teaching at Middlebury College, contends that the move may expose the Fed's policy weaknesses in the present downturn. In an interview with Bloomberg News, he warned that Ben Bernanke and Co. are, as Bloomberg put it,risking a strategy that may either fail or fuel inflation and asset bubbles.
• And some macroeconomists take the same view--even within the Fed itself. Thomas Hoenig, the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, dissented from the Fed's action. Hoenig was concerned that this continued high level of monetary accommodation increased the risks of future financial imbalances and, over time, would cause an increase in long-term inflation expectations that could destabilize the economy,according to the Fed's statement.
• Leonard Santow, an economic consultant, meanwhile, said he thinks the move will have little impact. Monetary policy is already unsustainably easy, and adding to the Fed's generosity through more quantitative easing will do little to stimulate the economy,Santow told the New York Times.
• Even those who aren't opposed to the move, like former Fed governor Laurence Meyer, seem to think that fiscal policy can have much more of an impact on the economy than anything the Fed can do. Bernanke has said that fiscal stimulus, accommodated by the Fed, is the single most powerful action the government can take for lowering the unemployment rate, when short-term rates are already at zero, Meyer told the Times. He has nearly pleaded with Congress for fiscal stimulus, but he can't count on it. So he has to act as if that's not going to happen.
• Rick Newman of U.S. News and World Report judges that QE2 will probably have far less impact on the economy than QE1, simply because of its smaller size. He also says the Fed's bond purchase won't do much to move the markets, because investors have been expecting the move for some time, and the effects have therefore already been priced in.Indeed, for months the markets have been rising on expectations of the Fed acting, and they continued to climb steadily Wednesday afternoon.
• Jeff Kleintop, chief market strategist at LPL Financial in Boston, likewise questions how effective the move will be. This provides the market with additional clarity,Kleintop told Reuters. The question is whether this is enough.
• Richard Franulovich, senior currency strategist at Westpac in New York, also counts himself among the skeptics. I am slightly underwhelmed,he told Reuters.
• And Matthew Yglesias, a blogger with the Center for American Progress, anticipates that the reality of modestly elevated inflation should somewhat speed the debt-payback cycle and modestly reduce the real interest rate, both of which can spur economic activity.But he'd like to see more urgency from the central bank in getting the economy moving again.
So to sum up, some observers expect QE2 to do more harm than good. Others think it may have a positive effect, but don't think it'll be adequate, at least on its own, to boost the economy on the scale the situation demands.If there's anyone out there who strongly believes that this will be the magic bullet to fix our economic woes, we sure haven't found them.But with fiscal stimulus looking to be off the table given the Republican gains in the midterms Tuesday night, QE2 may be something close to the government's only option.
Barnier to end domination of bank lobby in EU advisory groups
LEIGH PHILLIPS 03.11.2010 @ 09:25 CET
EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - EU internal market commissioner Michel Barnier has said he is to move against the domination of the financial sector in expert groups that advise the European Commission on financial regulation.Mr Barnier, who is also responsible for reform of financial regulation across the bloc, on Monday (1 November) announced that he has asked the civil servants under him to perform a review of the expert-group system and revise it to provide for greater representation from consumer groups, trade unions, small businesses and NGOs.I remain convinced that more needs to be done to enhance the active participation of civil society organisations in Internal Market policymaking in order to fully achieve a fair balance on non-industry stakeholders' representation in our consultation process, he wrote in a letter to lobby watchdog group Alter-EU.The commission's expert groups, which advise the EU executive on controversial issues and are often the source of policy concepts, have been criticised by pro-transparency NGOs as undemocratic as despite the power they wield, they remain unelected and unbalanced due to the preponderance of industry representatives on them.A total of 11 out of the 25 expert groups advising on financial regulation issues all have a majority of representatives from the banking lobby, allowing industry representatives direct access to officials - in some cases overwhelmingly so.
The Payment Systems Market Expert Group for example, maintains 43 representatives from business, and just two from government, one from academia and one trade unionist. In another expert group on the monitoring of codes of conduct in the clearing and settlement sector, the inbalance is so lopsided that it has 62 industry representatives to four from government.The orders given to his services to reconsider how the expert group representatives are picked follows on from a commitment that the commissioner made in his confirmation hearing before the European Parliament in January, stressing the need for balanced representation in the groups.Alter-EU for their part have cheered the commissioner's move, saying that such changes if successful can mark a turning point towards a more sustainable financial sector that is beneficial for society at large.However, in order to ensure that new financial regulation development reflects the demands of the EU Treaty that all citizens shall receive equal treatment from [EU] institutions, the group said in a letter responding to the commissioner's move, it is not enough just to add a handful more representatives to the expert groups.Instead, in order to avoid what the group calls corporate capture of decision-making, it is essential that commercial interests - both financial services providers and business users of such services - do not have the majority in any expert group.
OECD computers hacked as EU conducts cyber-games
ANDREW RETTMAN Today NOV 4,10 @ 12:31 CET
EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - The OECD, the Paris-based club of the world's 33 richest countries, has been successfully hacked by people looking for sensitive information on money laundering, high-level corruption and tax evasion. OECD spokesman Stephen Di Biasio told EUobserver by phone from France on Thursday (4 November) that the body first detected unusual activity in its IT network in August and is still battling to get malware out of its computers three months later despite calling in help from the French security services and private cyber-defence companies.We've got a team trying to close down their points of entry, but we're not in a position today to say we've cleared them out of our system,he said.What we know is it's quite a sophisticated attack. We've got quite high levels of security protocols at the OECD and this has been able to bypass those security measures ... What we are seeing is that it's not a destructive attack. It's obviously fishing for information. Because the OECD works in such a broad array of areas, they are searching around to see what they can get.Mr Di Biasio said the malware appears to have got in via a USB memory stick and that the attacks are coming from "different geographical areas, quite a few points in Asia. He was unable to say if the assault involves a government or a private entity.The suspicion is it came in via USB keys. Our agents travel around the world. They often go to conferences - there are exchanges of information, exchanges of USB keys.The OECD describes itself as a body which brings together the governments of countries committed to democracy and the market economy. It collects economic data and conducts inter-governmental talks on issues including high-level government and corporate corruption, money laundering and tax evasion. Its members include 20 EU countries, as well as Canada, Israel, Japan, Switzerland, Turkey and the US.News of the hack first came out in the specialist, Paris-based publication Intelligence Online on Wednesday, one day before a major EU cyber-security exercise.
The EU simulation, Cyber Europe 2010, is being organised by Enisa, the EU's Crete-based information security agency, and the Joint Research Centre, the European Commission's science wing in Brussels. Modeled on the larger US exercise, Operation Cyber Storm III, launched earlier this year, the EU project is billed as the first-ever pan-European effort of its type. The exercise began at 10am Brussels time on Thursday and is to last until the evening of the same day. It consists of attempts to install and block fake malware on critical online services by around 130 experts sitting at their computers in an operations centre in Crete and in remote locations around Europe.The exercise involves 20 EU countries plus Norway and Switzerland. EU member states Bulgaria, Cyprus, Luxembourg, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Spain, as well as non-EU country Iceland, are taking part as observers. The UK's Office of Cyber Security and CERT, the Computer Emergency Response Team in Estonia, are among those at the heart of the exercise. London in October announced it would invest €670 million in cyber defence in the coming years, while making deep cuts in conventional armed forces. Estonia was in 2007 the target of a mass-scale cyber attack designed to cripple government and financial services. We will have electronic elections in March, so we have also been conducting our own internal exercises concerning that, CERT spokeswoman Katrin Pargmae told this website.Commenting on the outcome of Thursday's experiment, Enisa spokesman Ulf Bergrstrom noted: If we do find holes and gaps in procedures and channels we will firstly need to plug these holes before we can reveal where they need to be plugged.Asked if Nato was involved in this simulation, since it is active in field of cyber defence, Jonathan Todd, a spokesman for the EU commission said: No. This is the first time such an exercise is being organised, but in future we may look at more complex scenarios.The European Commission in September proposed a new law to put hackers in jail for up to five years and to give Enisa new powers to fight internet crime.
US election result raises concerns in Europe
VALENTINA POP Today NOV 4,10 @ 09:47 CET
EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - Most pundits are predicting strained times in EU-US relations after crushing losses by Barack Obama's Democratic Party in midterm elections. But the centre-right European People's Party has congratulated the US Republican opposition party on its victory.Because domestic policy - not foreign policy - was put to the vote in America, I do not anticipate any ruptures in relations with Europe, German foreign minister Guido Westerwelle told German ZDF public broadcaster on Wednesday (3 November) after the US vote count came in.He insisted on the strength of the American president and his country which, in Mr Westerwelle's opinion will preserve continuity in US foreign policy. A spokesman for Chancellor Angela Merkel was also positive, saying he expects little change in US foreign policy after the Republicans took control of Congress by a comfortable margin and left the Democrats with a razor-thin majority of just two seats in the Senate.The only EU politician openly cheering the development was the European People's Party leader, Wilfried Martens.The Belgian politician congratulated the Republican Party for winning yesterday's mid-term elections and announced the visit to Washington of a high-level EPP delegation in December. With the continuation of the global economic and financial crisis, the political dynamics in the US are continuing to evolve in a dramatic way and, among others, underline the importance of strengthening the transatlantic partnership,he said in a statement.
The EPP is an umbrella organisation of all centre-right parties in Europe, currently counting 14 heads of state and government, including Ms Merkel, French President Nicolas Sarkozy and Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi. Some large opposition parties, such as the Popular Party in Spain, are also affiliated with the EPP.
Pundits on both sides of the Atlantic predict bad times ahead for policies close to the EU's heart, however.Mr Obama could not pass climate change legislation this year despite having a nine-seat majority in the US Senate. Next year, US climate change legislation is dead, Bruce Stokes, an expert with the German Marshall Fund of the US, a Washington-based think-tank, said. Expectations are even lower when it comes to the EU-US summit on 20 November, to be held on the margins of a larger Nato summit at the same time in Lisbon The leader of the Liberals in the European Parliament, Guy Verhofstadt, has called on the EU representatives to approach the US government on the issue of war crimes in Iraq, as revealed by the Wikileaks documents published last month.EU officials say the item will not make it onto the agenda however, in a situation reflecting the weakness of transatlantic diplomacy for some.Wikileaks is rather a no-go at the summit, Ulrike Guerot from the European Council on Foreign Relations told this website.But it reflects the history. We are losing the emotional glue with the US. My kids are born after 9/11. They have not experienced a good America,they have only read about them as the bad guys.Russian officials have for their part said the ratification of a Russia-US treaty aimed at reducing nuclear arsenals could be in jeopardy.If they can't do this in the lame-duck session in the next couple of weeks, the chances for ratification by the new Senate will be radically lower,said Konstantin Kosachev, chairman of the International Affairs Committee in the State Duma, as quoted by Wall Street Journal.
Mr Kosachev has asked the Russian parliament to halt its ratification procedure for now, potentially dealing a blow to the Obama administration's reset in Russia-US ties.President Barack Obama has assumed some responsibility for the defeat, acknowledging that the US public is deeply frustrated with the pace of the economic recovery. Facing a divided government, he also said that he will have to work harder to build consensus in Washington.
Chinese leader to parade through Paris ahead of G20 handover
ANDREW WILLIS Today NOV 4,10 @ 09:22 CET
EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - Chinese President Hu Jintao will receive a lavish welcome when he touches down in France on Thursday (4 November), with French President Nicolas Sarkozy hoping stronger ties with Beijing can secure the success of France's tenure at the helm of the G20, set to start later this month.The French president is to personally greet Mr Hu at the airport, before returning together to the Elysee through Paris with a contingent of the Republican Guard on horseback.France's G20 ambitions include fighting currency market volatility and trade disagreements, together with successful reform of the world's multilateral institutions such as the IMF. China's increasing economic might means success is strongly linked to keeping Beijing onboard throughout the discussions, with a string of achievements likely to boost Mr Sarkozy's re-election campaign in 2012.For his part, Mr Hu may be keen to use the French visit to stave off bitter discussion over the value of China's currency at this month's G20 leaders' meeting in Seoul.China has shown its willingness to act in the G20 forum but is sensitive to losses in sovereign economic decision making, expressly forbidding any mention of the yuan issue in recent final communiques.Last month's EU-China summit ended in discord following strong argument over the issue. I say to Europe's leaders - don't join the chorus pressing [China] to revalue the yuan, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao told a business forum taking place in the margins of the political meeting.Others have chimed in. France's presidency must have the patience to listen to everyone, especially on the reform of the global financial system,deputy foreign minister Fu Ying told Le Figaro newspaper ahead of Mr Hu's visit.The three-day official tour is also expected to see a record number of commercial contracts signed, including an anticipated major order for passenger planes for European aircraft maker Airbus.
Relations between the two sides have improved over the past year, following a sharp disagreement in 2008 when Mr Sarkozy met the Dalai Lama, Tibet's spiritual leader. Paris has remained quiet following last month's Nobel peace prize for Chinese democracy activist Liu Xiaobo.Reports suggest that Beijing has embarked on an active campaign to reduce the impact of the Nobel award, with the Chinese Embassy in Oslo sending official letters to a number of European embassies in the Norwegian capital, asking them not to attend the 10 December award ceremony, say unnamed Western diplomats according to AFP.On Friday, Mr Hu will travel to the Mediterranean port town of Nice, where afternoon talks are expected to centre on foreign affairs, including Iran's nuclear ambitions.The following day he will fly to Portugal where the government has welcomed earlier statements expressing Beijing's willingness to buy Portuguese sovereign debt. Similar announcements prior to a Chinese official visit to Greece last month point to Beijing's growing use of its huge foreign currency reserves to buy diplomatic support.Both Portugal and Greece, together with Ireland, are seen as the eurozone's most vulnerable economies.On Wednesday Portugal's parliament passed a crucial austerity budget to cut the country's high debt levels, after the opposition upheld an agreement with the minority government to abstain from voting.
Commissioner envisages robust EU crisis centre
ANDREW RETTMAN 02.11.2010 @ 17:14 CET
EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - EU aid commissioner Kristalina Georgieva is keen to set up a 24-hour-a-day disaster-monitoring centre with access to classified information on EU foreign policy and the authority to call in military assets from EU countries where necessary.When I wake up in the morning and open my eyes, the first thing I do is go to the message of the day on my iPad. They keep them short. They use a standard distribution list - all the member states get it, the relevant EU institutions, the Crisis Room. It's very tightly written - events, bullet points. All the information comes from member states or countries beyond the EU. If it's from an outside source, like the UN or Reliefweb, they give the sources, she told EUobserver in a recent interview.Ms Georgieva was speaking after her proposal last week to set up a new European Emergency Response Centre in Brussels to better cope with natural and man-made disasters around the world.Her message of the day is currently written by the duty officer in the commission's Monitoring and Information Centre (MIC), quite likely on his or her laptop at home. The MIC itself is situated in the Avenue de Beaulieu in Brussels, about five kilometres away from Ms Georgieva's office in the main commission building.The new centre is to have a team of duty officers at their desk round the clock and to move next door to Ms Georgieva, possibly in the Crisis Room in the Charlemagne building, once the current Crisis Room officers join the European External Action Service (EEAS) in the Axa building down the road.I like being with my troops, the commissioner said.Unlike the Crisis Room and the EU's Joint Situation Centre (SitCen), which sniff out early signs of conflicts or terrorist attacks, the aid centre's main job will be to create protocols on how to respond to various kinds of disasters, such as earthquakes or bursting dams, and to model how they are likely to unfold once they strike.Ms Georgieva wants the centre to be staffed by EU officials and seconded civil protection experts from EU countries on the model of SitCen and to work closely with the EEAS.
I have been in the Crisis Room and I know how they operate - they have people scanning the newswires, the internet, twitter. Obviously we are not interested in duplicating what is being done somewhere else, so long as we can plug this [new centre] into a well-functioning system, she said. In order to do this, we will need to have the same level of security clearance, otherwise there will be firewalls between their information and ours ... I see objectively the need to lift our security levels to match theirs.Ms Georgieva noted how civil protection and conflict prevention units work in some EU countries as a potential model for the EU set-up.In some member states, the civil protection team have their own crisis room. They monitor the information that is necessary for deployment of their teams and their equipment. But if there is a higher level of emergency, where you deploy civil protection assets but you also deploy other assets, such as the military or intelligence, then the civil protection force plugs into this more comprehensive crisis management structure. They even have rooms where the seating [for each type of officer] is marked out, so if you are from the civil protection side, you know exactly where to sit.The Bulgarian commissioner made it clear that she wants EU countries to put some military assets at her disposal as a last resort. Her office would call on the units to be deployed where necessary, but the EU capitals would retain operational command.When asked by this website if the European Emergency Response Centre will need the services of men and women with guns, she answered: Of course, yes.Ms Georgieva noted that humanitarian organisations and the military are often mistrustful of each other and that badly-deployed troops can create rather than solve problems. If you take a military truck and you paint it white because white trucks don't get attacked, well, what happens next is that white trucks do get attacked and humanitarian workers get killed,she said.She added that, as in Haiti and Pakistan, military assets may be needed to provide relief and security, however.
In Haiti, the US military, European military, Canadian, were deployed massively, appropriately, under UN co-ordination, primarily for logistics, clearing up rubble. But also some security, because here we had a situation where chaos could erupt, the commissioner said.The military has to be included in our thinking on relief operations.
STORMS HURRICANES-TORNADOES
LUKE 21:25-26
25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity;(MASS CONFUSION) the sea and the waves roaring;(FIERCE WINDS)
26 Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
Confusion, fear as Haiti camps evacuate for storm By JONATHAN M. KATZ, Associated Press – Thu Nov 4, 6:56 am ET
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti – For nearly 10 months, more than 1 million people in Haiti's earthquake camps have been walking a precarious line: Trying to get out and find good homes without losing their tents and the possessions they still have.Now a potential hurricane threatens to upend that careful balance. The Haitian government has called for the voluntary evacuation of all the quake zone's camps ahead of Friday's expected arrival of Tropical Storm Tomas, telling residents to find somewhere else to go.People said, We've been displaced before. What's going to happen to us? Are we going to be able to get back? said Bryant Castro, an American Refugee Committee staffer who is managing the nearly 8,000 people at the Corail-Cesselesse relocation camp.Survivors of the devastating Jan. 12 earthquake have fought forced evictions, weathered storms, organized themselves into security committees, and rallied for better services and aid. Now they are being told to leave and few have anywhere to go.The government says there are more than 1,000 shelters available, but the term is loose and can refer to any building expected to stand up to high winds. The U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said there is a need to identify safe public infrastructure for use as potential storm shelters.Painfully slow reconstruction from the quake, prior storms and the recent commitment of government resources to fight a growing cholera epidemic have left people with few options as overtaxed aid workers struggle to help.We are using radio stations to announce to people that if they don't have a place to go, but they have friends and families, they should move into a place that is secure, said civil protection official Nadia Lochard, who oversees the department that includes the capital, Port-au-Prince.Fear and confusion have swept through many of the camps. Tensions boiled over into scuffles Wednesday at Corail when managers tried to explain a planned voluntary evacuation of nearly 8,000 people from ShelterBox tents once promised to be hurricane-resistent.
The tentative plan there, as at several other camps, is to move some people to schools, churches, and other structures such as abandoned prisons. But most of the homeless are being told to seek out friends or family who can take them in.As news of Tomas' predicted pass slowly filtered through Port-au-Prince via wind-up radios and megaphone announcements, unease set in among people who already lost homes and loved ones in the quake and saw their tents ripped apart in lesser storms this year.
The tension is elevated. People are really concerned about their belongings. They're posing a lot of legitimate questions, Castro said.Concerns are even greater in the western reaches of Haiti's southern peninsula, where heavy flooding is predicted.
Disaster officials have extended a red alert, their highest storm warning, to all regions of the country, as the storm is expected to wind its way up the west coast of the island of Hispaniola, which Haiti shares with the Dominican Republic, through storm-vulnerable Gonaives and Haiti's second-largest city, Cap-Haitien, sometime Friday.The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami announced a hurricane warning for Haiti and the southeastern Bahamas and Turks and Caicos. A tropical storm warning was issued for Jamaica, along with tropical storm watches for the southern coast of the Dominican Republic and eastern Cuba.Early Thursday, the storm was about 315 miles (510 kilometers) southwest of Port-au-Prince, and about 160 miles (255 kilometers) south-southeast of Kingston, Jamaica. Tomas had maximum sustained winds of 50 mph (85 kph) and was moving north-northwest near 7 mph (11 kph).
Jamaican soldiers would evacuate hundreds of people in the island's eastern region Thursday and move them into emergency shelters ahead of the storm, Information Minister Daryl Vaz said.We will be going all out to make good sense prevail, he said at a news conference Wednesday.Most of the people who will be evacuated are squatters living along unstable gullies that often flood during heavy rainstorms.
Kareen Bennett, a forecaster with Jamaica's Meteorological Service, said heavy rains will lash the eastern region by Friday morning.Jamaica is still struggling to recuperate from floods unleashed by Tropical Storm Nicole in late September that killed at least 13 people and caused an estimated $125 million in damage.People who are still using boats to move about in the island's rural western regions also will be moved to shelters, said Ronald Jackson, of the emergency management office.

DOCTOR DOCTORIAN FROM ANGEL OF GOD
then the angel said, Financial crisis will come to Asia. I will shake the world.
JAMES 5:1-3
1 Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.
2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.
3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.
REVELATION 18:10,17,19
10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.
EZEKIEL 7:19
19 They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.

16 And he(FALSE POPE) causeth all,(WORLD SOCIALISM) both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:(CHIP IMPLANT)
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.(6-6-6) A NUMBER SYSTEM
