The evening's gathering opened by ASC secretary.
According to Don (secretary) the three contributions are something new from a person associated with Aljzeera - this association assumed current. I
think we present would agree with Don the entertaining aspect of this person's approach to his weekly report can be distracting; however, I'm privileged by seeing what's screened again.
What follows derived from this advantage and shared (now) by whoever may read further.
Two things extracted during D.B.'s introduction: Libor (see later) and the suggestion from a guest to the report -- the current events program has two parts, the first a set routine with presenter and the same political analyst, thereafter presenter and guest.
A guest (and we've heard this before) a re-installing of gold internationally as a currency value determinant. Apparently replacing foreign exchange trading and currency weighting. The person presenting at some stage after questioning Roseanne Barr (feminist) a forthcoming candidate in U.S. presidential election, remarked how now, and in the past, women are/have been predominant in movements for change. But not so in our culture now days, Don sees suppression of "feminist" issues (Ed. later a supporter expressed a contrary opinion); a growing undermining of a specified aspect to freedom when compared to America. Don thinks accusations of the person presenting these (three) reports would draw attention of authority in this country.
Leading in by way of a less cerebral confronting proposition was a 7:59 min video, address by Paul Weston, Freedom Party U.K., " ... A Civil War With Islam" delivered to a Canadian audience.
The Reports:-
Alpha ###. 1.
The video a two part presentation:
(1) The presenter interviews Stacy (political analyst); between both presenter and interviewed discussion of debt, its growth as applied to the U.S. and the part derivatives impact to distort the economy. This part of the report -- with quotes from respected commentators -- had cynicism voiced throughout, its theme was a questioning of who ("Aliens"!?!?) will or would buy out the humungous debt(?)
(2) Next on a more serious note, a commentator-author introduced as Jim (i) Asked to speak on the global situation pertaining to recognised big players counties. He indicating that (at the time) Germany was considered commercially stronger and more viable to with stand international economic pressure than other countries outside Europe. (ii) The guest then questioned about Libor, at the time we (ASC) viewed the clip, I guess none present had understanding. For an understanding of libor, url: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libor.
Alpha ###. 2.
Again a two part presentation:
(1) Stacy heard earlier -- occurred to me is the presenter and the presenter becomes commentator -- explores aspects of Libor, the related law and regulation and lack thereof, the influence of the likes of J P Morgan, Goldman Sacks et al. and those proteges/protegees who happily move between government and international banking community. The Californian Pension Fund gets mentioned as an example of what happens to (pension) funds with Libor-bankers interaction. (2) From the forgoing the commentator resumes the position of presenter and introduces Roseanne Barr ( former theatrical etc.) a candidate for president, U.S. election 2012. Her "cornerstone" to attract the female vote. The concluding minutes of approx. 15 mins. of questioning summed-up her platform: G.M. corporation control, debt relief (for people), encouragement for the establishment of a third major party. She also cites an incident of a quasi-para-law enforcement gang operating in questionable circumstance somewhere in America (Ed. Where else in the developed West World ???? Big Shock Surprise, Huh!)
Alpha ###. 3.
Another two part presentation from those sourced previously.
(1) Metaphors "Justsimilator" and jellyfish with a rats heart (True, result of G.M.). The part the "Justsimilator": plays depends on the possessor, but the jellyfish ... is an exploiter, deceiving investors (particularly with reference to pension funds) who according to Stacy are end recipients of debt ridden assets. Between the two in discussion is that a micro-Eco. problem eventually becomes a macro-Eco. one, with banksters reaping a (financial) gain.
(2) The presenter and Mark (goldcore.com) London U.K. on (i) Libor -- interest rates and exchange rates -- are manipulated by markets, especially those of gold and silver. (ii) The presenter (either a MBA or economics graduate or both) seems to contend that with "high velocity" and "wash" trading with doggy practices evident, macro-Eco. measures intrinsically will not curb inconspicuous conduct of those participants. ONLY authority and regulation action aimed at micro-economic conduct should work. Mark concurs and has the last say " ... buy gold and silver and put aside for the rainy day", this action to take as a hedge against recession if not (also) depression.
The last offering for the night a recorded a visual-audio debate April 2012.
1. U.S. Federal Reserve (F.R.B.) its chairman according to spokesman seen in this visual, has drawn a wrong conclusion and taken incorrect measures to stimulate post GFC economy.
2. German currency stronger in relation to other currencies incl. America.
3. Japan and China pursuing monetary policies that make imports costly without benefiting their exports sales.
4. The spokesman said " the cost of capital becomes expensive", this with reference to a low interest environment. [Edit. Did he mean inaccessibility of capital due to a low rate?!?!]
Between showings and after, it's been realised for some months that some of the banter arising from thoughts prompted by Don and what he shows. Since impressions and opinions were audio recorded, sound files could be a subject for inclusion to the blog. This can only happen when time is allowed to digress to seek suitable software.
