  7. “EBD, that Russian expatriate is to be applauded for confronting those communists.”
    Agreed and his last comment says it all, “There is no need to argue with you any further”. Why? because it is like beating a dead horse.
    Anyone who identifies with those in the video will only realize their ignorance once they have lived in the countries they support.

    “Falling copper points to global pain”
    “The answer to where the global economy is headed may well be found in the piles of trash towering above the brick and tin shacks belonging to Beijing’s army of garbage recyclers.
    On the northeastern edge of sprawling Beijing, the hardscrabble neighbourhood of Dongxiaokou is some 20 kilometres from the glittering skyscrapers that provide this community’s livelihood. Here, virtually every scrap left over from a modern life – used computers and mobile phones, household appliances, furniture, clothing, even paper and plastic bottles – is collected, sorted, broken down and sold for cash.”

    “U.S. likely to get second rating downgrade: Merrill”
    “NEW YORK – The United States will likely suffer the loss of its triple-A credit rating from another major rating agency by the end of this year due to concerns over the deficit, Bank of America Merrill Lynch forecasts.
    The trigger would be a likely failure by Congress to agree on a credible long-term plan to cut the U.S. deficit, the bank said in a research note published on Friday.
    A second downgrade — either from Moody’s or Fitch — would follow Standard & Poor’s downgrade in August on concerns about the government’s budget deficit and rising debt burden. A second loss of the country’s top credit rating would be an additional blow to the sluggish U.S. economy, Merrill said.”

    “China braced for wind turbine slowdown”
    “China, the world’s biggest market for wind power, is bracing for a sharp slowdown in wind turbine installations this year, a move that will spark a “bloodbath” among wind turbine producers, industry executives say.
    The slowdown has already claimed its first victim, as Germany’s Repower told the Financial Times that it planned to end wind turbine production in China by selling their majority stake in a turbine factory in Inner Mongolia.”

  12. Both Mich and George with lit cigars! Where were the censors? Guess they didn’t have a budget for them.

  13. Speaking of EBD’s link to the OWS socialists, the Sunday paper here in Halifax is filled with letters and op eds from folks who think that because Irving Shipbuilding won the big contract, that they should share the wealth and even put up the arena that Halifax’s mayor wants so bad. They are worse than the “friends” and relatives of most 6/49 winners.

  17. Descent of the … Decimation.?
    Every tenth bank is decimated? Enjoy.
    But, the correct word is destruction.
    “As anticipated by LEAP/E2020, the second half of 2011 is seeing the world continuing its unstoppable descent into global geopolitical dislocation characterized by the convergence of monetary, financial, economic, social, political and strategic crises.”
    There’s more:
    “The context singularly lends itself: social explosions, political paralysis and / or instability, return to the global recession, fear over banks, currency war, the disappearance of more than ten trillion USD in ghost-assets in three months, widespread lasting and rising unemployment…”.
    “Besides…”.
