“The Fed really is
the engine or the driving force behind much of what’s gone wrong in the country
in the last 20 years.  The equity bubble
was a disaster, and then the real estate bubble was an even bigger disaster.  But it’s not just those two events and their
consequences.”

Wave of Suicides
Shocks Greece

Greece, a country
whose Orthodox Church does not condone suicide, has always had one of the
lowest suicide rates in Europe. But now, there were 350 suicide attempts and 50
deaths in Athens in June alone. Most of the suicides were among members of the
middle class and, in many cases, the act itself was carried out in public,
almost as if it were a theatrical performance.

But a jury might well

Leaving aside the
relevant question of how well in advance the Pentagon and US scientists knew
the quake was about to occur, and what Pentagon plans were being laid before
January 12, another issue emerges around the events in Haiti that might help
explain the bizarre behavior to date of the major ‘rescue’ players—the United
States, France and Canada.
