Falkland island dispute

24 Feb 10

It makes me very sick to see a near bankrupt UK go after the oil in the Falkland Islands. Mr Brown ran havoc of the UK finance is now a la Thatcher bullying poor Argentina (also near bankrupt). Going to war to win back the votes of the people?

I wish financial TV and the western media in general were not so biased and the UK would stop exploiting the world. They never legally owned the Falkland Islands.

I’m so sick of our politicians that know nothing and talk too much and ruin Europe and Germany. It’s all about controlling the citizen and lying to us. This here has nothing todo with child pornography. Especially Germany should have learnt the lesson from the days of Hitler.

What is worse than our usual politicians? Our politicians before the election.

Hear our great politicians talk about the financial crises and ask yourself, do they even vaguely know what they are talking about? Hey, it’s only tax money ..

Very good article by Simon Johnson: The Quiet Coup		23 Apr 09

The crash has laid bare many unpleasant truths about the United States. One of the most alarming, says a former chief economist of the International Monetary Fund, is that the finance industry has effectively captured our government-a state of affairs that more typically describes emerging markets, and is at the center of many emerging-market crises. If the IMF’s staff could speak freely about the U.S., it would tell us what it tells all countries in this situation: recovery will fail unless we break the financial oligarchy that is blocking essential reform. And if we are to prevent a true depression, we’re running out of time. www.theatlantic.com/doc/200905/imf-advice

Bad banks are unfair and a huge risk our kids will still pay for!

As a German I’am allowed to say this. Our government is about to gamble on 500-1000 billion EURs when creating a bad bank. With a high probability a huge chunk of this tax money will be gone forever .. and nobody informs the public (as usual). This madness has to stop.

There are valid alternatives out there as outlined by George Soros: creation of good banks.

Welcome hyperinflation in the next 2-5 years. Good night Germany.

I wish we would pump billions into new ideas and innovative startups, instead of supporting dinosaurs. The entire situation is pretty sad, but imagine we would start 10 projects like masdar city. Of course one could never pull this off in Europe, as the regulations and bueraucracy would eat up 10 years before work could start.
