In contrast, we know that people should not be drawn into gambling their future away on the stock markets of hell economies. We know people shoukd earn a decent real interest rate from their savings so that they can plan for future retirements and safe pensions free of inflation.
The disguised inflation of property asset inflation fools everyone into thinking we have low inflation, but our realities are very different. The watchdogs of the UN organizations have failed us while the US, Canada, and Britain were nation building in the Middle East under the guise of protecting Jewish interests for stability in the Middle East.
The war on terror is now about to become a war on debt. The price of waging war on terrorism is too expensive to think the world won't be drawn into much worse. Terrorists can't possibly help the interests of terrorists because the footing of their cause is undermined by the interconnectedness of humanity. We all go down as one as long as the wars continue. No one wins, everyone loses in wars.
What we have is war and the consequences of wars:
- disguised inflation in the form of property appreciation that cannot be sustained,
- people with debt so high they are owned by lenders in a new form of interest paying debt slavery,
- a resurgence of neo-nazist thinking and grouping,
- the US National Rifleman's Association saying they are bored having won the crazy policy of arming everyone to the hilt with weaponry that is caustic to think about,
- a dissipation of tolerance and trust, interest rates so low that it is impossible to save in a bank deposit without losing real assets because inflation has been enormously higher in return, especially in wasteful speculation in property,
- the return of the fallacy of the notion that inflation could be good to wipe out debt,
- Isreal now increasingly hated by moderates because of Isreal's own forms of extremism,
- the real possibility of a renewal of hostilities in Northern Ireland,
- the destruction of the environment of the Caribbean,
- the loss of initiative to fight a dying planet overheating with too many engines of economic growth firing on all pistons to out compete each other.
There is an strangeness of our world as it's future has streams of hate and love in conflict. The majority want poverty to end but it is growing and people are suffering from the excesses of the rich and powerful.
Quite a turn for the books!
We have a respite from the swine and bird flu only to find there are other more serious threats to manage.
Review the mismatch once again:

When and if one treads through history, one finds that most of the financial and economic misery of the post war period arises from excesses associated with the misuse of the US dollar and the lack of sincerity in financial reforms through time that sought to make a more honest or fair world. Sure the IMF has come up with ways to mitigate excesses, but historically the pain that is felt by the small scale operator and by ordinary families, the weak, vulnerable and poor, is disproportionately high. You will experience loss yourself through theft.
Poor people bear too much of the brunt of the results of excess and abuse by large concerns, particularly banks that claim the moral high ground yet fleece the poor. The latest financial reforms in the US are a cop out to the larger issues of legalised theft, and a way to expand thievery. Read the following article on Volker's approach and see if you don't agree with me!

My concern is that we put people through unnecessary misery because we neglect to curtail the financial excesses of those with capital. We assume a general morality in finance that does not exist in reality. We turn a blind eye to what is essentially creative thievery. In our self created amoral society, people steal small things most of the time. Where people can keep secrets they do and they really exploit opportunities for legal theft whether they work in government or business. They do it with a warped sense of morality based on the notion that consequences are limited and it's smart to steal and deceive. The young being astute game players are increasingly adept at amoral theft. Steal a bit here, loot a bit there. It's part of the historical background.
Well then the next step is to steal by force when necessary. We are naive to think that this won't happen to our kids and to ourselves as we will experience the effect of laws that make it easier to steal and we become increasingly vulnerable to thieves. The legal systems and electronic technologies that make it easier to steal are with us and unfortunately expanding at an alarming rate.
Daily, we hear about Internet theft. Any casual conversation will lead to a discussion of who has lost what from a group on the Internet. Meet anyone and they will have experienced loss from theft.
Obviously, there is rampant thievery behind the scenes, and most worrying is when trusted people engage in it wholesale, the British MPs steal by false expenses, the villages wanting revenues do it legally by the science of the placement of speeding cameras, banks do it by the timing of the debit of interest, governments do it by keeping interest rates low so they can acquire more tax assets and finance takeovers of the private economy, firms do it by loans from banks to acquire competitors or plum operations others have spent their lives developing.
Theft has been legalised and you need to know the basic rule that it's very ok.
In fact, in the modern world if you don't steal, cheat, swindle, con, deceive, you are a mug of the highest order.
The game as it is now played has no rules except those passed by the thieves to steal legally. You might as well pass laws so that you can steal, as well.
