The G-20’s Secret Debt Solution
by Larry Edelson 11-13-08 Larry Edelson If you think this weekend’s G-20 meetings in Washington are only about designing short-term fixes to the financial system and regulatory reforms for banks, hedge funds, brokers, mortgage companies and investment banks … think again. Behind the scenes, a far more fundamental fix is being discussed — the possible revaluation of gold and the birth of an entirely new monetary system. I’ve been studying this issue in great depth, all my life. And given the speed at which the financial crisis is unfolding, I would be very surprised if what I’m about to tell you now is not on the G-20 table this weekend. Furthermore, I believe the end result will make my $2,270 price target for gold look conservative, to say the least. You’ll see why in a minute. First, the G-20’s motive for a new monetary system: It’s driven by and based upon this very simple proposition …
then let’s change the value of the money.”
I call it … The G-20 may propose devaluing all currencies, including the U.S. dollar and the euro. The G-20 may propose devaluing all currencies, including the U.S. dollar and the euro. “The G-20’s Secret Debt Solution” It would be a strategy designed to ease the burden of ALL debts — by simultaneously devaluing ALL currencies … and re-inflating ALL asset prices. That’s what central banks and governments around the world are going to start talking about this weekend — a new financial order that includes new monetary units that helps to wipe clean the world’s debt ledgers. It won’t be an easy deal to broker, since the U.S. is the world’s largest debtor. But remember: Debts are now going bad all over the world. So everyone would benefit. Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke … Treasury Secretary Paulson … President Bush … President-elect Obama … former Fed Chairman Paul Volcker … Warren Buffett … and central bankers and politicians all over the world agree a new monetary system is needed. The G-20 may propose devaluing all currencies, including the U.S. dollar and the euro. So they’ll start hashing out the details to get the new financial architecture deployed as quickly as possible.

If Israel doesn't have anything to hide, they don't need to ban the foreign journalists. Indeed, Israel is a useless country, but the wealthy jew people from all over the world want to keep their roots somewhere. Especially the zionists. And the situation in the middle East won't change so soon, as I know that Obama is endorsed by the jewish lobby to be elected. Israel still can dictat the american ME policy for some time... I have nothing against the jewish pople, but I disagree with the Israeli government for what they do to the neihbour countries. Unfortunately, Jewish community has a big influence in the western countries' politics.

But unfortunately they died for nothing. Or should I say they died for unforgivable lies. Don't forget that hundred thousands of innocent Iraqis died for nothing as well...

From an objective point of view, the USA is THE aggressor in many fronts. (Iraq, Pakistan, Syria)They could have defended inside the Iraqi border if it was neccessary. Instead, they attacked across the border invading the sovereign territory.

Democrats should be very careful with the voting system. The last two elections, in reality, Al Gore and John Kerry won the presidential election. (although the pole gave them the victory before the election)
Republican McCain may win with the Bush’s cheating system.

I think certain form of advertisements are the invasion in our life. I wonder why some people always need to divide the opinion into "lefties" or "righties". A good move doesn't have any political ideology. Note that McDonald's and KFC didn't agree with the idea.

Maybe not for the most Thai people, but for UNESCO, it's worth a World Heritage site award. Even if the Thai people don't give no value, the world gave the most prestigeous consideration to this archeological site. And that's what count.

Thai started the invasion in July, because the UNESCO made the ownership of Cambodia official by registering the site in the World Heritage list, in spite of the contestation of Thailand.

Preah Vihear Temple is considered as one of the most important archeological site after Angkor Wat. This dispute of the ownership started more than 100 years ago.
For Thailand, the value is not only from the religious point of view, but also the touristic point of view. If we consider that Cambodia’s tourism is only Angkor Wat (except the beach resort), vicited in average 9000 tourists daily ( I paied 40 dollars for 3 day pass, last year) , economical importance is obvious. And the access of the Preah Vuhear Temple is much easier from the Thai border than from Cambodian side.
When there is a conflict, it’s almost always for the money…

Poor man, maybe he doesn’t know that there are many different tastes like French, Chinese, Italian or Japanese food…
The last time I went to MD was last year, for a birthday of one of the friends of my boy of 3 years old. (Now he is 4 y.o.) He took a bite and didn’t like it so I finished it. I don’t say that it’s a bad taste; I just find it too sweet and have an artificial flavor. (Bread & sauces)
I think I went to M.D. less than 10 times in last 10 years. (And often, jut to take a drink)

Unfortunately, in some way it's true that the Countries that have the economical ties with Russia (import/export) may lose a lot. Russia is a huge market to sell the product, and Russia supplys the gas and oil to many European countries.

It was Georgia that started the attack. Agression was made by the Georgian army first. The reason of this conflict is the weapon deal of Israel to Georgia. It’s like Russia sells many sophisticated weapons and military installation in Mexico.

I think it's because they don't need more cops permanently. Most of those soldiers were in Iraq, and now, they don't have many things to do. Since they are payed anyway, it's better to use them rather than hire more cops.

When I read the posts above, I can see the military paranoid people’s anxiety.
This is not really a military operation, but to help the police force to fight against the crime (drug dealers, illegal imigrants etc), especially in summer vacation period. The inhabitants are quite happy with this operation. (But obviously not some politicians)
1 soldier patrols with 2 policemen. Military doesn’t have the power of decision. The soldiers just support the police. In Rome, there is no such a military support because the Mayer didn’t want it.
And many posters mix up “Europe” and “Italy”. Italy is a small part of Europe and it’s smaller than the state of California. Italy’s decision is not a decision of Europe.
