I just think you manipulate the numbers a bit too much and when you start the "I have information that is not available to the rest of you so trust what I say" crap is when I get irritated. But any way have a good day, don't have time to argue anymore today, maybe tomorrow.
(pss, 27 March 2012 14:38)

I’m not asking anyone to believe in what I tell them. I am only giving you my opinion and the information I have at hand. Look, I’m not going to lose too much sleep if people do not believe what I post, but I feel that at least I got it out there. I have close relatives in and around Chicago and San Francisco and in Devon, London and Liverpool, UK so I certainly would not wish ill upon them, but even they are now starting to be concerned about what is going on in their respective countries.
Extreme levels of debt is a real and festering problem on both sides of the continent. The US is printing more money to try and stimulate their economy, but even their people are not optimistic. If you recall the first GFC came to a head in 2008; it looked as if it happened overnight, but it was a problem 12 months before and the US Government kept a lid on any information from leaking out. Most points to crises in the US by 2016 if drastic action is not taken now to curb government expenditure, some go as far as saying the US will have a Greek-style problem by then.
The US is slowly contracting as it closes down military bases. For example, Diego Garica will be closed in just over 4 years time and Washington is looking at the Cocos Islands (Australian territory) to relocate there. Why because it will be a 1/20 size of Diego Garcia and by 2020 it will leave that region all together.
Money is what made the US great and money is killing it and no hope of relief in sight.

Al Baradei is an outstanding American agent of influence. But in today Egypt this profession is out of fashion. This is why he is making such statements. But the Arabs do know who is who.

The facts are the facts. The real situation on the US economic front is a closely guarded secret as not all vital information is released to the public or any domain and most of the stuff that is released today is double talk.
But if you keep an close watch on the daily news you hear them say on a Monday great unemployment figures and the stock market goes up by a couple of hundred or even thousand points, then by Friday another piece of the economic puzzle comes out and it’s the reverse. And so it goes on week after week. Therefore, financial institutions no longer pay too much attention to US Government documents, but carry out their own research and it’s very accurate.
For the US Government to release accurate figures in this economic climate would cause panic on the stock market and could even result in an economic collapse and so the charade continues. Now the reason you find me repeating the same message is simple. As most people are conditioned by TV and spin on that medium is effectively done by repeating the message to get the point across.
It not that I think I can brainwash people, but it’s the only way to get your message to them. The US has been kicked out of the South China Sea and will set up camp in Darwin, Australia with around 2,500 marines, but this is only for show because what can that number do if there is a crises? Not much. If you look at South Korea, since the 1950s war the US had 50,000 troops, but today its only 30,000 and they will also leave Okinawa. Why?? Because of financial problems troop numbers are being quietly drawn down.
Look at the summit in South Korea, it’s nothing but flapping of the jaws. If the US is so concerned why not invade? And that is the reason why I keep on saying it’s all hot air. China will never allow the North to fail so they have a US friendly country on their borders.
One point that many miss out is that the US went into a war economy in 1940 and has never come out to this day. If you look at figures over the last 65 years you will find that great economic growth always occurred during a war whether Korea or Vietnam. The US is in stagnant depression that could go on for a decade or more much like Japan went through in the 1990s, but Japan had huge reserves and even today their government’s debt is to the people as they borrowed internally – the older generation Japanese are great savers while the young ones the reverse.
The US has lost Iraq, an extremely valuable reserve of oil to have up your sleeve in case Saudi Arabia turns nasty towards them and that is possible. Iran is an enemy state so that only leaves Kuwait, but the Iranians control the red sea in the strait of Hormuz. Now the only stable and reliable country left with huge reserves is Russia or under Russian control/influence.
When the trigger is pulled no one asks people like you or me whether we are afraid, tired or war weary. It just happens. Let’s hope they listen to ElBaradei – he is truly a great man and intellectual.

Well this is what I think, with the enrichment of uranium we will be able to produce electricity, while tha atomic bombs at the same time.... because the drogs have not so much profit as Columbia. Did you know that Columbia has become the strongest military in Latin America with drogs....perhaps we are on track as Columbia

And you prove my point.
While I may give you a hard time, some of what you say is true, and I respect your OPINIONs. You see I think that differing opinions are what makes people think. The problem is if everyone in a group start thinking the same way you are headed down hill.

pss is right: there is limited appetite in the US for an attack on Iran. You have your typical hawks on the right talking up the idea, largely to score points with their conservative, pro-military supporters, but I think Obama is very much against the idea, as are a number of senior figures at the Pentagon. There has been a lot of coverage of this topic in the US media of late, and the general sense I'm getting is that the likelihood iof an attack is rather slim. Some of the readers of B92 probably saw the recent interview on US television with a former senior Mossad official who deemed the regime in Tehran barely sane enough not to use nukes against Israel.

Kosovo is a global producer and distributor of narcotics, human trafficking and terrorism. Kosovo has more in common with countries such as Saudi Arabia and Turkey, both countries are fanatical Muslim worshippers that don't tolerate Christianity.

Kosovo can only be a beautiful paradise when all Albanians take their mosques, drugs and criminals back to Albania.

Oh yeah, don't forget to take your armed baby sitter with you!

Of course I realize most of your post(s) are based on hate and not really facts, I do want to highlight one huge error. During my time in Kosovo I found it to be more sectarian than Islamic driven. Also the thing of hating Christians just is not true. Now the Albanians do target Serbs and since Serbia insists on making Serbs and the Serbian Orthodox Church inseparable there is targeting of the Serbia Church but I do not believe that is a target at Christianity. While I was there I received Christmas wishes and presents from many locals and also the same for Easter. I never felt that I needed to hide my Christian beliefs at any time there.

Kosovo is surrounded by enemy Albanians from Montenegro, Greece, Macedonia and Albania. I would have added Croatia and Slovenia to the list but they have eliminated their enemies and are now mono ethnic states.

In a world ever filled with insane rulers who claim morale right to carry out some action that always ends up in killing the innocent, Mohamed ElBaradei is a true oasis in the sea of humanity. I hope the loons take some notice of what he says, but deep down I doubt it as the US economy is going nowwhere fast with unemployment staying at high levels.

You know daily you come on here and probably anywhere else you visit to talk about the downfall of the US, how powerless the US is, the new superpowers of China and Russia, unemployment, economy, ete,etc,etc. However, one thing is perfectly evident, no matter what is happening in the US and with Americans. It has pretty much dominated YOUR life. For someone who live In Malaysia? and works for the Chinese? if all this is true (matters not) you seem to spend your every waking moment concerned over what the now powerless, defunct US is doing.
Maybe just maybe it is still a little more powerful than you want to admit,
There are many in America that would like to attack Iran, but I think the majority have tired of wars in the Middle East, and will not tolerate another one without some really strong provocation, and I don't think that rescuing Israel from an intentional offensive will be it. Could be wrong,
9/11 gave the emotional support needed for Afg and Iraq but even the most ardent supporters now are realizing we wasted time money and lives disproportionately to our gains.
