let's see, the banks other than the select few bankers' banks and the Rockefeller-Rothschild central bank cartels are out 'n' billion, but that only represents an infinitesimal fraction of the middle class loss since it's paper to the banks, but life savings to the middle class. Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Korea --the pet tigers of the US-Brit money cartels all propped up, but actually setup by the IMF and their rules which destroy their infrastructure in favour of the cartel. suckers one, suckers all. Japan started it all with their economic isolation, multi-level cronyism, state sponsored economic terror, and scientific cannibalism. Japan sits on 50% crony-deals and the banks are falling like dominoes, but Japan today is Japan for centuries; they wont take their medicine. The Arabs are in hock up to their headbands and real income in Saudi Arabia has fallen from 14,000 in 1991 to less than 4,000 today... but, now they wont fight each other as they found the common unifier as the Tomahawk IIs crashed into Sudan and Afghanistan. Italy, France, and even Germany cooked their books to make the Masstricht and Germany suffers from 13% unemployment; the EC can not afford their socialism and Kohl will need a new dinner table. Russia caves in after the mob bilked the international money market for over $500 billion! the summit of the doomed: pairing a demented, addled drunk with a moral bankrupt went Saturday Night Live... and the only two economies which have been able to maintain their standard of living are watching... meanwhile, Rubin cooks the books, steals the Social Security Administration's kitty for unfunded IOUs. the export of money grows and grows and grows --to China, whose state planned economy is as crony booked as Japan and China is preoccupied with learning to swim. Clinton thinks he can apologize for anything and Blair is playing cards in the back room. Ambrose came back to Washington to wait for the kill. forget the report to Congress, give the backup material the fraudulent duo buried in 100 graves to hollyweird --they wont need new plots for years. follow the money... dont worry about value; it's only relevant. attila out... tickling the chesire cat.
