The Geopolitics of Pandemics / Politics / Global Pandemic

By: STRATFOR

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleWord began to flow out of Mexico the weekend before last of well over 150 deaths suspected to have been caused by a new strain of influenza commonly referred to as swine flu. Scientists who examined the flu announced that this was a new strain of Influenza A (H1N1) derived partly from swine flu, partly from human flu and partly from avian flu strains (although there is some question as to whether this remains true). The two bits of information released in succession created a global panic.

The Real Undreported Pandemics, Not Fake Ones Like Avian and Swine Flu / Politics / Global Pandemic

By: Stephen_Lendman

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleIn his April 29 Global Research.ca article, F. William Engdahl discussed "Flying Pigs, Tamiflu and Factory Farms" and shed light on the current swine flu hysteria - hyped by the same folks who engineered the 2006 (H5N1) Avian Flu scare that had more bark than bite. But it proved hugely profitable for drug makers like Roche and Gilead Sciences, the company Donald Rumsfeld led as chairman from 1997 - 2001 and remains a major shareholder. Although he won't discuss his "private finances," he's likely benefitting handsomely from the current panic.

Flying Pigs and the World Health Organisation (WHO) / Politics / Global Pandemic

By: F_William_Engdahl

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleWHO takes a page from a Michael Crichton Novel - As the late great American poet Yogi Berra might have put it, ‘this just gets absurder and absurder.’ The international agencies supposedly responsible for monitoring worldwide dangers of new pandemic threats, the WHO and CDC are acting like the directors of a Hollywood ‘B’ grade sci-fi movie or the author of a copycat version of Michael Crichton’s Andromeda Strain novel. The global panic over outbreak of a new human-to-human Swine Flu pandemic is increasingly revealed as a likely operation in mass psychological terror whose only beneficiaries are the few global pharmaceutical giants that are in the business of peddling so-called ‘antiviral’ drugs—Roche, SmithKlineGlaxo and Novavax most prominently. The losers are the rest of us normal folks.

G20 Meeting Governmental or Mafia? / Politics / Global Financial System

By: LewRockwell

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleDo you remember the 1957 meeting of Mafia bosses in Apalachin, New York? About 100 of the Big Bosses met at the home (it must have been large!) of local Mafia chieftain Joe Barbara, and the local police became curious when they noticed numbers of expensive cars with out-of-town license plates at the Barbara home. The cops, acting on the principle of "arrest now, ask questions later," arrested as many of the men as they could catch, and a prosecutor named Milton Wessel subsequently tried them on conspiracy charges.

Swine Flu: A Follow-up on Trading the Hype / Politics / Global Pandemic

By: Mike_Stathis

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleLast week I released a piece that no other (qualified) financial professional was willing to expose because (in my opinion) they don’t want the masses to know how event-driven media-hyped trading works. If everyone knew how the game is played, they wouldn’t be able to make the easy money. http://www.avaresearch.com/article_details-170.html

How America was ‘Sold Out’ for $5.2 Billion to the Financial Industry! / Politics / Credit Crisis Bailouts

By: Lorimer_Wilson

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleThis article is a follow-up to my recent piece on “America’s Financial Oligarchy” which was a synopsis of Simon Johnson’s “The Quiet Coup” on how the financial industry has effectively captured our government. This follow-up article is an edit and review of a lengthy 231-page report prepared in March 2009 by the Consumer Education Foundation (see wallstreetwatch.org/reports/sold_out.pdf for the full report) on how, over the years, the ‘Money Industry’ as they refer to the financial oligarchy, sold out America to gain such control.

Over the years, the man from Illinois has come to realize that it’s not the elected officials who are in charge. Last week, he said it was the bankers “who run the place” acknowledging that Senators may be in office, but not necessarily in power.

Labour Government Enslaves the British Tax Payer to a Decade of Paying for the Bankers Crimes / Politics / UK Debt

By: Nadeem_Walayat

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleThe Chancellor Alistair Darling in his recent budget started to come clean on the huge amounts of debt that the country will need to borrow on just its visible official balance sheet as illustrated by the below graph. However much talk by politicians and the mainstream media about how there will now need to be severe cuts in public spending and tax cuts to reduce the level of debt are partially in-correct, in that yes taxes will rise and public spending will be cut to stabilise the budget deficit, but the argument that the level of debt must be reduced is flawed and fly's in the face of over 300 years of history of debt accumulation since the founding of the Bank of England.

By: LewRockwell

John M. Peters writes: As the existing economic structure collapses, I see a return to ways of doing business which existed not only in my father’s time, but in my grandfather’s time. Although the transition will be painful the journey will be worth it. The shockwaves of the latest depression are wiping away the traditional pillars of the economic system. Here are just a few of the changes we can expect as the current economy grinds to a halt.
