 IMF chief warns second wave of countries will require bail-out posted by Edmund Conway via reed, 2009-02-17 01:15:22
A "second wave" of countries will fall victim to the economic crisis and face being bailed out by the International Monetary Fund, its chief warned at the G7 summit in Rome. [IMF chief] Dominique Strauss-Kahn's warning comes amid growing concern that at some point in the next year a major economy could have to seek support from the Fund. Mr Strauss-Kahn, who was yesterday attending the Group of Seven leading finance ministers' meeting in Rome, said: "I expect a second wave of countries to come knocking." (full story and 4 comments)

Nationalise the Banks posted by Matthew Richardson and Nouriel Roubini via reed, 2009-02-15 19:32:49
The U.S. banking system is close to being insolvent, and unless we want to become like Japan in the 1990s -- or the United States in the 1930s -- the only way to save it is to nationalize it.
As free-market economists teaching at a business school in the heart of the world's financial capital, we feel downright blasphemous proposing an all-out government takeover of the banking system. But the U.S. financial system has reached such a dangerous tipping point that little choice remains. And while Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner's recent plan to save it has many of the right elements, it's basically too late. (full story and 1 comments)

Who would have thought that invaded peoples in Indo-China, Central Asia, Africa, the Pacific Islands and other regions would fight for their traditional lands, homes, families and cultural identities? And who would have thought that people threatened with subservience to foreign cultures and ideologies would emphatically reject wearing baseball cap headdress – absolutely astounding? (full story)

The War on Terror is a Hoax posted by Paul Craig Roberts via rialator, 2009-02-04 20:52:44
"The most obvious indication that there are no terrorist cells is that not a single neocon has been assassinated.
I do not approve of assassinations, and am ashamed of my country’s government for engaging in political assassination. The US and Israel have set a very bad example for al Qaeda to follow." (full story)
