Crise mondiale - Le Cauchemar américain

The Corruption of America

The numbers tell us America is in decline... if not outright collapse.

I say "the numbers tell us" because I've become very sensitive to the impact this kind of statement has on people. When I warned about the impending bankruptcy of General Motors in 2006 and 2007, readers actually blamed me for the company's problems – as if my warnings to the public were the real problem, rather than GM's $400 billion in debt. The claim was absurd. But the resentment my work engendered was real. ...

Foreigners Sell Second Largest Amount Of US Bonds Ever In Past Week, Record $93 Billion In US Paper Sold In Past 2 Months


Tyler Durden - Two weeks ago when we reported that there had been a record consecutive week dump of US Treasury paper in the Fed's custodial account, as reported by the weekly H.4.1, we made the assumption that this was China preemptively selling US paper. Well, that may or may not have been the case, but it was only part of the full story. We have now learned that Europe, and especially Germany ha...

Former Presidents On The Dangers of Corporations


by ProudProgressive Posted February 28, 2011 "If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their money, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them (around the banks), will deprive the people of their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered." -- Thomas Jefferson, 1802

The Derivatives Flap

Is Bank of America Headed for the Glue Factory?

That means they need to latch on to Uncle Sam without anyone knowing about it. But, like we said, the cat is out of the bag.

Now, why would that be? The only reason I can come up with, is that they know that a lot of these complex instruments are undercapitalized and ready to implode, so they want to make sure they get their money back any way possible. That means they need to latch on to Uncle Sam without anyone knowing about it. But, like we said, the cat is out of the bag.

BofA Said to Split Regulators Over Moving Merrill Derivatives to Bank Unit


By Bob Ivry, Hugh Son and Christine Harper - Bank of America Corp. (BAC), hit by a credit downgrade last month, has moved derivatives from its Merrill Lynch unit to a subsidiary flush with insured deposits, according to people with direct knowledge of the situation. The Federal Reserve and Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. disagree over the transfers, which are being requested by counterpartie...

EU bank failures will crash Wall Street — again

America’s collective conscience wants true democracy restored

By Paul B. Farrell, MarketWatch SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. (MarketWatch) — Worst-case scenario’s closing fast: Occupy Wall Street growing. But no political power or allies yet. Feared yes, attacked by GOP proxy tea party. Soon the Occupation will explode into a new American Revolution. When? A string of European bank collapses is dead ahead. And like the Arab Spring, they will trigger an...

Financial Black Holes and Economic Stagnation: An Explanation


“Financial markets are driving the world towards another Great Depression with incalculable political consequences. The authorities, particularly in Europe, have lost control of the situation. They need to regain control and they need to do so now.” _ George Soros, international financier, (

AFTER THE STORM

L'inégalité, source d'instabilité !


NEW-YORK – Cette année aura été marquée par une vague d'agitation et de troubles un peu partout à travers le monde, avec des manifestations de masse tant dans les rues que dans le cyber-espace : le printemps arab...

Big Trouble Brewing


One typical feature of complex systems is that they tend to jump rather abruptly from one state to the next. Where they can exist in some sort of seeming equilibrium for quite a while, a sufficient exogenous shock (or a change in conditions, such as becoming energy-starved) can often cause them to transition rather suddenly to the next point of 'equilibrium'.

Panic of the Plutocrats


So who’s really being un-American here? Not the protesters, who are simply trying to get their voices heard. No, the real extremists here are America’s oligarchs, who want to suppress any criticism of the sources of their wealth.

IMF advisor says we face a Worldwide Banking Meltdown

Dr. Robert Shapiro who advised Presidents Clinton and Obama and who currently advises the IMF predicts a cascading meltdown of the World's banking system starting with Sovereign debt in the Eurozone, affecting the UK then finally bringing down the global banking system. The clip was aired October 5, 2011 on the popular News show Newsnight with the corporation's top interviewer Jeremy Paxman.

Is the United States a Third-World Nation?

Michael Lewis, author of the new book "Boomerang," says the United States and many European nations suffered a moral failure that led to economic collapse. Lewis insists that the U.S. economic situation will get much worse before it gets better.

Why the Antichrist Matters in Politics

Christian apocalypticism has a long and varied history.

The world in 2011 resembles the world of the 1930s in many respects. International turmoil and a prolonged economic downturn have fueled distrust of government, as has the rise of a new libertarianism represented in the explosive growth of the Tea Party.

Etats-Unis vs. Chine : guerre diplomatique sur fond de devise « manipulée »


En réalité, à travers une réévaluation du yuan, les Américains ne cherchent ni plus, ni moins, qu’à voir le dollar se déprécier. Leur objectif ? Rééquilibrer leur balance commerciale. En matière de manipulation, les Etats-Unis sont également très doués.

A Few Important Causes of the Decline of the United States of America


In general, and that will be my conclusion, I would say that it is in the interest of any country to avoid giving power to idiots, ignoramuses, incompetents, devious and delusional characters or to demagogues. If not, watch out. —More countries are destroyed by their own politicians than by foreign armies.

Obama - Un discours crucial


Demain soir, le président Barack Obama livrera un important discours sur l'emploi devant les deux chambres législatives réunies pour l'occasion. L'économie américaine bat de l'aile, l'emploi stagne et les marchés boursiers spéculent à la baisse sur la probabilité d'un retour en récession. Après deux ans d'une reprise pour le moins modeste, les entreprises, qui engrangent pourtant des centaines de milliards en l...

Tax the super-rich or riots will rage in 2012

There’s a new bubble blowing. No one can stop it ... soon it will explode.

Wake up folks. Super-rich addicts are destroying the American Dream for everyone. They’re destroying the American economy. They don’t care about you. Yes, they hear the ticking time bomb. They’re stockpiling cash. Don’t say you weren’t warned. The IMF sees a new collapse sweeping across the planet. Open your eyes. You’re not watching a film. This is not a metaphor. Plan now for the revolution, class warfare, market crash, economic collapse, plan for another depression.

INCERTITUDE ET INSTABILITÉ, LE COUPLE CÉLÈBRE DE L’ÉTÉ (3)

Le « Great American Dream » de Walter Trembley

Non merci !

Je n’échangerais pour rien au monde le mode de vie que nous nous sommes donné contre l’« American way of life », et tous ceux que je viens de mentionner entre parenthèses ne cherchent qu’à nous convaincre de choisir le modèle américain. Ce qu’ils ont tant à y gagner, c’est tout ce que nous avons à y perdre.

Slash and Burn as the New Normal

Feral Capitalism Hits the Streets


By DAVID HARVEY "Nihilistic and feral teenagers" the Daily Mail called them: the crazy youths from all walks of life who raced around the streets mindlessly and desperately hurling bricks, stones and bottles at the cops while looting here and setting bonfires there, leading the authorities on a merry chase of catch-as-catch-can as they tweeted their way from one strategic target to another. The word "feral" pul...

10 Doomsday trends America can’t survive

Commentary: We are past the point of no return, thanks to Super Rich

Yes, Super-Rich Capitalists will fight to the death. But destiny is trapped in our DNA, historians warn, and will not change. America is run by these short-term thinkers. They never learn the lessons of history. They do not want you to know that their capitalism is self-destructive, that capitalism’s cycle is in a suicidal end game, that their “mutant capitalism,” as Bogle calls it, is destroying the very soul of America’s democracy.
