Just News for you to enjoy

I must apologize for not spending the time analyzing the news that I used to. Lots of it is just things I posted about before. It is like Google Glasses, lots of news about it as it is released; but, I said most of what I had to say before it was even released. I really view most of my posts as merely updates anymore. Most of what I have written about for the past five years is now directly upon us.

What we are interring is a revolution. It will be like the industrial revolution or the technological revolution; but, this time we don't end better off. We are entering a time when society does not need as many people to continue advancing technologically, industrially and intellectually (or so many believe). We are entering a time when we will have fewer children and in exchange we will live longer and we will work longer.

Lets say that you could live to be 300 years old and in good health; but, you were only allowed to have the magic potion that allowed you to do this if you agreed to have no children, would you do it? What if you could truly sell your unborn children's future and live their life span? When Bush was president he gave aid to Africa; but, the condition was that as their life span approached ours, we would give less aid. It was the first time we ever connected lifespan to aid. I wrote a post on it a long time ago and I am not even sure if it is on this version of the blog.

I am not against technology, I am not against having a one world electronic currency, I am not against a lot of things I comment on. I am against us making decisions on these issues based upon alarmist and last minute information. I am against being given deceitful explanations of what is going on that appeal to our biases and obsessions. I think the questions I ask are much more important that the facts I present, the answers define who we are and that matters for eternity.

Yahoo - Reuters - Analysts discuss paradigm shift: breaking up banks. This is just confirmation that the IMF and FDIC-Bank of England plan is going to happen.

The Weekly Standard - Kerry Welcomes Chinese Investment in America's Infrastructure. Kerry says that the Chinese should invest in our infrastructure projects because they will make money from it. Hmmmm, does that mean that all roads will be toll roads? Does that mean that our future infrastructure must be making a profit. Well, read that article and that is what Kerry says, he says all of these projects will be profit making. Think about it.

Huffington Post - Boston Explosions: Cellphones' Service Shut Down In City, Official Says. Okay, simple thing. In the future if a city has an emergency, they might shut off all cellphone service for that city. If they did it once, they could do it again.

Wired - Quirky Partnership Democratizes the Invention of Internet-Connected Devices. Hooray, everything you own can now be connected to the internet, what a surprise.

Cnn - Google boss: Entire world will be online by 2020. And everyone will have internet accessibility by 2020. Then we can all be tracked and monitored and predicted.

Yahoo - Daily Ticker - Sheila Bair on Why the “Vampire Squid” is NOT Too Big To Fail. This is the former head of the FDIC talking about how they will let banks fail and use the FDIC-Bank of England agreement to expedite their bankruptcies and takeovers.

Huffington Post - Galaxy S4 Features: All The New Things That Samsung's Latest Smartphone Can Do. The next Galaxy phone will watch your hand movements and gestures. It also monitors your fitness and how much you are walking. It will also translate voice and writing. With the upcoming healthcare changes, this phone could be used to prove you are not smoking, are walking and are eating properly in order to reduce your health insurance costs, your employer will probably demand it of you.

The Telegraph - Fed and Bank of Japan caused gold crash. Basically the article says that Japan and the Federal Reserve caused the crash in gold prices by printing too much money. You see the coming currency crash is planned and gold will not help you.

Huffington Post - Top Fed Official Warns Of Tougher Capital Requirements For Biggest Banks. Basically banks only need to keep about 10% of the total amount that they have in cash, the rest is in investments and loans. By increasing how much the banks have to keep in cash this will also reduce how much banks can loan. Now consider this action in conjunction with the IMF and FDIC-Bank of England plans and you can see that they are preparing for when the big banks fail. You will get X amount of your savings taken away and in exchange you will get X amount of stock in the bank which will then provide you with a return as people pay off their debts to the banks.

Wired - Meet the First Digital Generation. Now Get Ready to Play by Their Rules.

Huffington Post - Obama's Big Bank Opportunity. More on how we need to break up the "big banks". It is all just propaganda to build support without telling you that it is in fact coming.

New York Times - Euro Zone Crisis Has Increased I.M.F.’s Power. There they are again, the IMF controlling economic policies of nations.

CBS New York - Long Island Goes Cutting Edge On School Security: Live Feeds To Police Cars. I will say it again, gun control was going to fail (and it did) and constant monitoring of our children in school was the real aim and it is here. We are going to teach our children that they are only safe if the police can monitor them 24/7.

New York Times - Looking Overseas, Businesses Learn to Master Currency Exchange. This is just more propaganda on why we need international control over the setting of currencies. It talks about how India's currency exchange rate endangered a small business. The push is to have global controls over national currencies and again is exactly in line with what the IMF has proposed.

Well, that is all for today. Hope that gives my regular readers some things to consider. I feel bad that my most read posts have nothing to do with what I usually write about. For quite a while now this blog has mainly been concerned with economic issues and that is how I spent my career, studying these things. This blog has been an amazing journey and constantly causes me to search the news for trends that have not been fully exposed. It is a pleasant diversion and a healthy hobby usually. I make no money from this blog, it is not and will never be monetized. I get about 1,500 hits a month, not an amazing amount and not surprising except in the fact that I even get that many. It has no single focus or issue and I never know what I will write about in advance. Thanks for sharing this journey with me.
