The bad sign is that Obama is trying to pass the blame for US economic troubles to the creditor nations such as Japan, China and Europe.It looks as if Obama is trying to say “the reason US drove themselves into hopeless debt and bankrutcy is because other countries and people work too hard and save too much." Obama and Americans will have to relearn the meaning of hard work. The US economy will have to implode a lot more before some Americans will wake up from their coma by the looks of things.

Obama will have no choice but to pay back to it's creaditors with interest. Americans should for ever be grateful for the Japanese generosity. It is Americans who need Japanese more than visa versa. Americans need to starrt making products which people want to buy. Right now American products are no good. If US wants to get out this hole which is impossible to get out of US needs to make things which other countries will like and think of as quality. Only to the ingrained American patriot does Made in USA have a good ring. The American business establishment will have to turn over ownership of large chunks of US industrial and commercial property in exchange for debt write-offs. When Americans agree to start behaving towards the rest of the world in a civilized manner, the world will no doubt agree to reduce the interest of US debt.

Israel will have to stop behaving like renegades and participate responsibly and peacefully in international organizations. It is especially crucial that they agree to the jurisdiction of the international criminal court. Once they agree to the jurisdiction of the international criminal court will see shocking trials revealing stuff that will make Nuremberg and Yugoslavia seem like a tea party.

This is not about Democrats or Republicans. The hole America has dug itself into for the past 30 years is very deep. No matter what they try US is already toast. Shipping companies are now offering to ship goods to US at a huge discount rate and yet still cannot find takers because other countries no longer trust their ability to pay. The people of the world no longer trust the American government. According to NIkkei the Federal Reserves had printed out $2 billion which had not been accepted as valid international currency.
Shopping Malls in US now have “80% discount” or “buy one get three free.” At Wallmart, there are now huge line ups at the cash register as the shelves become more and more empty The only stocks that rose were Wallmart and McDonalds. Cheap goods and cheap food, most appropriate for a downtrodden slave society suitable to their bankrupt status.

As US already is bankrupt the money which Obama is going to put into the already bankrupt unsustainable economy comes from Japan and China. Japan has given over $825 billion in aid and loan. The American military industrial complex is turning US bankrupt. Obama will have no choice but to put vast amounts of military technology and use it on commercial products in order to decrease the American trade deficit. Obama must stop relying on aid and loans. Americans must relearn the meaning of hard work. Americans must understand that you can not borrow its way out of this problem. Obama must understand that you can not use more money than you can afford and keep borrowing because in the end you go bankrupt. The U.S. government will struggle to finance increasing debt levels needed to dig the economy out of recession.

I think Wolfpack hit the nail on the head here. The reason Afghanistan is the world’s biggest producer of narcotics can be found right in Washington at the CIA Directorate of Operations. Thats where the terrorists are.

Sooner or later Israel will have no viable alternative but to listen to what the indigenous Palestinians have to say. Sine Israel have signed under the 4th Geneva Conventions and say that they have not committed any war crimes then why not defend their case in the International Court of Justice? What are they afraid of?

The BBC is an instrument of Zionist propaganda. In addition to defending Israel’s terrorism and the illegal occupation of Palestinian land, the BBC is an active complicit in Zionism war crimes throughout the Middle East.
However due to it´s strong pressure from the people in UK BBC are now reconcidering their stane. This is a good example of people power and direct democracy.

Pyramid schemes end when they run out of new people ready to join the bottom of the pyramid. The pyramid is now collapsing.
On top of the pyramid you have the banks. They create money out of nothing, usually as digits in a computer. They then “lend” this money to the people who have to pay it back with interest. Up the pyramid goes real stuff, down the pyramid goes paper worth “nothing.” When people do not get new people to join in the pyramid collapses.
God help us all.

Palestinians tried non violence incase you forgot and most of the resistance towards Israel is indeed non violence. It is pretty shocking that people side with the racist oppressors.

US is bankrupt. As a bankrupt nation it has to listen to what the creditor nations have to say. 50% of their external debt is to Japan and China. Obama needs to pay back it´s debt to Japan ASAP with interest. Obama will have to relearn the meaning of hard work and start paying it´s dues to Japan. Americans must also learn that you can not borrow money to prosperity.
One of the problems with US economy is that Americans products are no good. USA needs to end the trade defecit and end the wars which have made the country banrkupt. One way to decrease the trade defecit is to actually start making better products.
Over the past decade, the U.S. foreign debt doubled. Japan and China now hold 47% of the U.S. foreign debt this will make interest rates rise and the dollar to weaken.

It is not about Jews vs Muslims but Israelis oppressing the Palestinians. Oppression creates resentment.

I don´t think the west has understood Hamas yet and do not know how to deal with them. Hamas is embedded in the Palestinian culture so when Israel went in to launch a massive attack on the Palestinians even they knew that they would not be able to topple Hamas. This was the propaganda which Israelis sold to the west and especially Americans bought into this.
In the day and age of Islamophobia people compare Hamas to Al Qaeda or some extreme Muslim country such as Saudi Arabia ( which happen to be an US allie and oppose Hamas ). What I find interesting about Hamas is that Hamas is a branch of the Muslim Brotherhood and has an Islamist ideology but it also is a very democratic movement and also secular at the same time. It has women leaders and Palestinian Christian leaders too.
Hamas is everything from the armed wing of Al Qassam Brigades to running schools, hospitals and day care centers. It started out as a humanitarian organization and it was not first after Israel kept it´s war machine and oppression that Hamas got it´s armed wing. During it´s first Intifada Palestinians resisted the occupation using mostly non violent means but got brutaly crushed by IOF. I think most of you have seen the symbolic images of Palestinians throwing stones at an Israeli tank. But instead of unconditional surrender the Palestinians armed themselves, kept their dignity . Hamas will never give up the rights of the Palestinians and Israel is scared of them. What Israel is scared of is not the weapons of Hamas, they hardly have anything but more than that their will. Their defiance and this together with the social work they do is what makes Hamas popular n Palestine. They have perfectionised the menatlity of resisting occupation which again have made them vastly popular throughout Palestine and the world and is making Israelis scared.

I know your questions were not meant for me but would like to answer them anyway.
Most Palestinians, believe in the fact that resisting the Israeli aggression is not an aggression.Injustice breeds contempt and violence, oppression calls for brutal reaction. When Sailwind shows video clips of suicide bombers he completely ignores the injustice which the Palestinians have been subjected to since 1948 which has resulted in the most extreme form of resistance.
Many Palestinians believe that suicide missions which are called martyr operations missions are a sacred duty carried out in form of self-defense and resisting aggression and injustice. Since Israel denies the Palestinians basic human rights, terrorising it´s peoples killing their women, children and men and the Palestinians are powerless and incapable of defending themselves. Since the Palestinians do not have much to their disposal but stones which they throw at Israel in order to defend the country. Despite its courage and high morale, stones cannot deter Israel. So the Palestinians resort to martyr operations.

President Jimmy Carter said,* it is wrong to frame this conflict simply as “democratic Israel” facing “terrorist groups like Hamas” and it is wrong to continue to fund Israeli wars while claiming to be an “honest broker. *

Zionism will lose. The ideology and not the Israeli people. Besides sooner or later the native Palestinians will out number the colonist Jews within Israel.
