The public is led to believe that our government borrows from "the people" through savings bonds. Actually, however, only a small percentage of the national debt is held by individuals in this form. Most government bonds, except those held by the government itself through its trust funds, are held by vast banking firms known as international banks. For centuries there has been big money to be made by international bankers in the financing of governments and kings.
The process through which one collects a debt from a government or a monarch is not a subject taught in the business schools of our universities, and most of us - having never been in the business of lending money to kings - have not given the problem much thought. But there is a king-financing business, and to those who can ensure collection it is lucrative indeed. Whenever a business firm borrows big money its creditor obtains a voice in management to protect his investment. Like a business, no government can borrow big money unless willing to surrender to the creditor some measure of sovereignty as collateral. Certainly, international bankers who have loaned hundreds of billions of dollars to governments around the world command considerable influence in the policies of such governments. Since the keystone of the international banking empires has been government bonds, it has been in the interest of these international bankers to encourage government debt. The higher The debt the more the interest. Nothing drives government deeply into debt like a war; and it has not been an uncommon practice among international bankers to finance both sides of the bloodiest military conflicts. But while wars and revolutions have been useful to international bankers in gaining or increasing control over governments, the key to such control has always been control of money. You can control a government if you have it in your debt; a creditor is in a position to demand the privileges of monopoly from the sovereign. Money-seeking governments have granted monopolies in state banking, natural resources, oil concessions and transportation. However, the monopoly which the international financiers most covet is control over a nation's money. Eventually these international bankers actually owned as private corporations the central banks of the various European nations. The Bank of England, Bank of France and Bank of Germany were not owned by their respective governments, as almost everyone imagines, but were privately owned monopolies granted by the heads of state, usually in return for loans. Under this system, observed Reginald McKenna, President of the Midlands Bank of England, in 1939: "Those that create and issue the money and credit direct the policies of government and hold in their hands the destiny of the people." Once the government is in debt to the bankers it is at their mercy. |
1. No plastic containers in micro.
3. No plastic wrap in microwave.Johns Hopkins has recently sent this out in its newsletters. This information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center as well. Dioxin chemicals cause cancer, especially breast cancer. Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies. Don't freeze your plastic bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins from the plastic. Recently, Dr Edward Fujimoto, Wellness Program Manager at Castle Hospital , was on a TV program to explain this health hazard. He talked about dioxins and how bad they are for us. He said that we should not be heating our food
in the microwave using plastic containers. This especially applies to foods that contain fat. He said that the combination of fat, high heat, and plastics releases dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body. Instead, he recommends using glass, such as Corning Ware, Pyrex or ceramic containers for heating food. You get the same results, only without the dioxin. So such things as TV dinners, instant ramen and soups, etc., should be removed from the container and heated in something else. Paper isn't bad but you don't know what is in the paper. It's just safer to use tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc. He reminded us that a while ago some of the fast food restaurants moved away from the foam containers to paper. The dioxin problem is one of the reasons.

list.........................
Also, he pointed out that plastic wrap, such as Saran, is
just as dangerous when placed over foods to be cooked in the microwave. As the food is nuked, the high heat causes poisonous toxins to actually melt out of the plastic wrap and drip into the food. Cover food with a papertowel instead.This is an article that should be sent to anyone important in your life.

What China is teaching us is that the western economic model — the fossil-fuel-based, automobile-centered, throwaway economy — will not work for the world. If it does not work for China, it will not work for India, which by 2035 is projected to have an even larger population than China. Nor will it work for the other 3 billion people in developing countries who are also dreaming the “American dream.” And in an increasingly integrated global economy, where we all depend on the same grain, oil, and steel, the western economic model will no longer work for the industrial countries either. |

I’ve been staying in an apartment in one of the newest buildings in the city, the Fairmont Pacific Rim hotel. A room here will set you back at least $500 a night during the peak summer season (if one is even available).
I’m staying in the residential part of the hotel. And it’s the epitome of a real estate bubble. My place is a two-bedroom, 2,000 square foot condominium. Don’t get me wrong, it’s nice. The shower has seven heads, the blinds go up and down via remote control, the view is tremendous...  |

Weekend: Obama's Solar Scandal By Nick Hodge | Saturday, September 17th, 2011 Solyndra was the first green company to get a loan guarantee from Obama's near-trillion-dollar stimulus. It received $528 million of your tax dollars. It was supposed to be the poster child of the stimulus, of Obama's ability to create jobs. The company is now bankrupt... more than 1,100 jobs lost. The Lesson The lesson here is that government is corrupt. And not white-lie corrupt; systematic-presentation-of-misleading-information-to-the-public-and-engineering-of-stories-to-benefit-their-inner-circle corrupt. Both sides corrupt. This loan was started by Bush, which I haven't told you yet and which hardly anyone knows. Lookout for yourself. No one else is. It's not right versus left. It's wolves versus sheep. http://www.energyandcapital.com/articles/obamas-solar-scandal/1773 |

Tourism Queensland CEO Anthony Haves said Queensland's tourism industry would be the ultimate winners of the Million Dollar Memo.
"When these 20 finalists return to their workplaces, we want them to tell their bosses that Queensland is the best place in the world to reward their starff," he said. |

If you were to sell any one of these newly acquired property within five years of purchase, you pay a 5% real property gains tax on what you made and still get a RM10,000 discount.
However if you decide to hold on to the property (noting that prices generally appreciate) and sell it after five years, you make a clean profit – that's right, not taxable. Now compare that to what your friends made – some still made more thanks to the 5%-7% discount. What if the profit was RM100,000 or RM1 million? We may not have Buffet magnitude billionaires just yet but according to the Malaysian Business we have companies paying RM455.6 million in a board payout with one director being paid RM106 million making all the other high earners look like paupers with RM12 million payouts. Imagine if they invested their bonus in equities without having to pay tax or bought multiple property at a discount. |
