☆ Money Laundering Always Leaves Residues For Forensic Accountants To Find

News Analysis: Money Laundering Always Leaves Residues For Forensic Accountants To Find as the Illicit Sources of Funds are ‘Decipherable’. Tax Authorities around the Globe are increasingly finding more Money “Stashes” than ever before. It appears there are NO Countries in which Money Laundering is not occurring. Since taxes are not collected on the ‘Gains’, Nations lose out.

As Legitimate Leaders of Countries decide that Strict Punishment for the Miscreants is the only effective way to stop “Laundering”, Enthusiasm for Secreting Funds will diminish: ‘Too Much Pain For Any Gain’ may be the ‘Sneaks’ thoughts.

Furthermore, if a Nation considers the more Serious Matter of  “Tax Evasion” to be equated to “Economic Treason” to it, more Stern Punishments are needed. These will influence all but the most Recalcitrant Crooks to  pay what they owe AND to forgo their Illegal Behaviors. For those too stubborn to change their ways, their Removals from Society is “Just Deserts”.

There is no substitute for Everyone on the Globe to “Fly Straight”.

Fiji Farmers Learn To Grow Sugar Cane, Not Weeds

News Analysis: Fiji Farmers Learn To Grow Sugar Cane, Not Weeds since weeds are very deleterious to Sugar Cane growth. Since World-Wide production of Sugar Cane averages

a  yield of approximately 70+ tons per Hectare (28+ tons per Acre) hence, gaining maximum benefit by reducing Pests and Diseases is essential for high crop yields.

Fiji has abundant sunshine and rain so it is worthy of good crop production. As Fijians have learned over the years, Pesticides used properly can eradicate Pests so Sugar Cane Plants flourish.

Sugar Cane is a marvelous plant with many various benefits for Humanity beyond being a mere Sweetener.

☆ Greek Olive Oil, Being Sold In A Diluted Concoction With Lesser Oils, Is As Heretical A Proposal Against Fine Quality As Is Selling A Rolls Royce Automobile Constructed Of Plastic Parts

News Analysis: Perhaps those with Anti-Hellenic Motives have made the “Objective Economic Suggestion” of  Greek Olive Oil, being Sold In A Diluted Concoction With Lesser Oils. However, it is As Heretical A Proposal Against Fine Quality As Is Selling A Rolls Royce Automobile Constructed Of Plastic Parts.

Greece has World Renown for its excellent Kalamata Olive Oil, the “Finest of the Fine” for Bouquet, Nutrition, and Taste in Olea europaea Production. The European Union restricts naming “Kalamata” Olives to those grown around Kalamata, Greece.

It would be “Marketing Suicide” to dilute the ‘Label’ in ANY MANNER. Subsequent to any dilution would be the terrible task of educating the World to the ‘Lesser Product’ (which would reduce the Stature of Kalamata Olive Oil. A ‘Task for Sisyphus’ would be to re-gain the Prestige of Kalamata Olive Oil; no small task (once lost, never to return). A Great Reputation which took Years to develop can be Ruined by Fools in a few Days.

Greeks should spend their efforts in increased World Marketing of their “Nutritional Gold” so the people of the Globe get to enjoy the Kalamata Product as well as the Greeks have for Centuries.

Dilution of Kalamata Olive Products Quality = Mia kaki idea.

☆ Russia: A Strong Leader Is Popular With Its Strong People

News Analysis: Nation-Wide Poll Numbers in America show a disproportionate number of its Citizens bemoaning the Poor Performance of their Current President. Alternatively, in Russia a Strong Leader Is Popular With Its Strong People. Poll numbers in Russia evidence over 65% Approval by its Citizens regarding their President; “Understandable” many Internationally Experienced Business People state.

Mr. Vladimir Putin has shown time and time again that he is an Intelligent, Intrepid, Prescient, and Resourceful Gentleman who, as such, makes a Good Leader. Many people think his former Intelligence Background gave him the Experience needed to judge others of different Nations and their possible Cabals.

The Russian President’s intended development of Siberia, likewise, demands from him all of his abilities including his having a Strong Will that NO ONE will break (for other ‘World Leaders’ are far too Weak). When he does develop the Russian Far East, its Enormous Resources will catapult the Country beyond Debtor Nations and all other Countries; that is what the Plotters Fear Most (they will not own Russia). 

The Sochi Olympics, many people around the World think, were conducted Masterfully under his Ultimate Direction. As to Athletics, some critical Politicians may be able to “Shoot more Basketballs into the Basketball Hoop than He” but can do little else.

Disparaging thoughts by some people of the Russian President evidence Jealousy that God did not give them the Assets He gave this Select Leader.

☆ Infamy Can Be Rewarded As Well As Fame

News Analysis: Infamy Can Be Rewarded As Well As Fame; Has one’s Actions  helped or has one Actions hurt others? A person’s Perception of Short Term Assistance may be another’s Perception of Long Term Grief. Does one look at an event close up or does one look at the event from a distance (so a Seriatim Value can be applied). For example, one can be standing adjacent to a roadway and think traffic is moving rapidly; a view from above in a helicopter may show serious vehicular collisions causing stoppages in both directions (since one’s Perspective has been enhanced).

Men and Women who are well experienced in International Commerce can see the Folly of the U.S. Federal Reserve’s (Fed) ‘”Money Geyser’ Printing Program” which continues today. The “Short Term” Relief provided by spurious Capital Creation causes the “Long Term” Pain of Capital Devaluation: Mere “Paper with Ink on It” (tangibly supported by NOTHING of Long Term Economic Value). Short Term Thinking by the ‘Fed’ many people state.

Compounding the ‘Fed’s’ Ignorance, the U.S. White House’s alleged $1.26 Trillion Dollar Funding Program had Monies allocated to Banks which were not attached with a Proviso that Banks MUST loan the funds to businesses for hiring of Employees. Instead, the Banks bought Treasury Instruments.

Today, American Unemployment remains Dismal at best. The White House brags about people being hired (Fast Food Hamburger Flippers or U.S. Transportation Security Administration hires); not high paying jobs.

The Fee charged by a Gentleman, some people may think, is being paid for past performance: This in long term influence on America’s questionable Economic Future in dealing with its current and future Multi-Trillion Dollar Debt.

Perspective: Is one living in America or living afar so the Economic Pain of Americans, now and in the future, is of  little Concern. Some people enjoy watching others suffer.

Infamy can pay Handsomely.

☆ Cross Atlantic Trade By The Numbers And Without The Polemics

News Analysis: Experienced International Businessmen have learned to ‘”Forget The Polemics, Just Give Us The Trade Numbers” so WE can determine Our Courses of Action’. Politicians and the Mass Media Minions typically do NOT want their Public’s to Analyze the Trade Numbers. If they do, they might disagree with the Benefits of the Rhetoric.

We give you Cross Atlantic Trade By The Numbers And Without The Polemics (for your consideration):

Net trade was $38.1 Billion Dollars between Russia and America in 2013. $11.26 Billion Dollars of Goods went to Russia while $26.96 Billion Dollars of commodities was purchased from Russia ($19+ Billion Dollars of Oil and  $1 Billion of Fertilizers, Etc.). In 2013, America sold $11.2 Billion Dollars of Aircraft and Automobiles to Russia.

Russia currently is a CREDITOR of America to the amount of $139 Billion Dollars (per U.S. Treasury Data).

In Europe, 123 Billion Euros ($162+ Billion Dollars) was the Trade with Russia (equally divided). Approximately 47 Billion Euros ($62 Billion Dollars) was for Europe’s Energy Needs.

The European Union received 7% of its Imports and 28% of its Exports with Russia in the year 2013.

One should readily understand that the Hundreds of Billions of Dollars “In Play” with America/Europe/Russia Financial Relations might make for the Politician’s Handlers to DEMAND that their Political Minions “Reduce the Rhetoric” and let Commerce Prevail. Certainly in Chicago, Illinois, the Airframe can be expected to call its Former Resident ‘Down the Street’ and ‘Pull on his Chain” so its Commercial Aircraft Sales to Russia do not Evaporate.

However, Remember that “In Any War, Bankers Win” (as well as Defense Contractors).

☆ Global Warming?: America’s Lake Michigan Is Covered With A Record Amount Of Ice

News Analysis: A Record 90% of Lake Michigan is covered in Ice. In Mid-February, ALL the Great Lakes were covered in Ice. One might ask: “If Politicians keep bantering about Global Warming, as they certainly do, does it not take substantially colder temperatures to Cause 90% Ice Coverage (a Record); this  over ALL of the Great Lakes?”

Perhaps an “Oxymoron” would be the best delineation for ‘Global Warming’s Record Icing’.

Many Scientists think the Natural “Ebb and Flow” of the Earth’s Temperatures, which have proven to Historically have happened (evidenced through Biologic and Geologic Examinations) should merely be referred to as “Climate Change”. 

The Connotative Suggestion in “Global Warming” is both Conclusive And Directional. The Denotative Value of “Climate Change” is Objectively Descriptive.

As important as the Earth’s Temperature is, Emotionalized Pronouncements by Politicians and their Mass Media Minions does NO Good Service to this Subject. “Phony Causality” Benefits NO Thinking Individual.

☆ “Snake Attacks Crocodile; Snake Wins” Is A Parallel Of Economic Warfare On America

News Analysis: “Snake Attacks Crocodile; Snake Wins” some People may find analogous to an Undeclared War –  Enemies of a Country not going to War with it Physically, but  instead, making sure it ever so slowly gets Squeezed to Death Economically. The “Sneaky Snake” takes on the “Arrogant Warring Crocodile” (with its Large Dental Weaponry in its Jaws).The “Sneaky Snake” has figured out that constant squeezing of its rival will beat its Egotistic Foe.

Some Citizens further expand this Snake/Crocodile Idea to the current Economic Debacle Befalling America. The Country with its $18 Trillion Dollar Debt is Strangling it. By having helped install Profligate Leaders in Washington, the “Handlers” get their Minions to “Spend, Spend, Spend” (‘Squeeze, Squeeze, Squeeze’) like the Snake. When America realizes it is Too Encumbered Financially to Survive Economically, the Handlers Win (America is then Effete).

If one consider that in addition to the Declared $18 Trillion Dollars of Debt are also other Government Obligations which some Economists estimate to be approximately $100 Trillion Dollars, then one may find that The Snake has grown to Gargantuan Size.

☆ Internet Users: “Smile For The General, Because You And Your Family Are On ‘Candid Camera'”

News Analysis: The revelation about stealing Internet Electronic Photography by the U.S. National Security Agency, and its Minions overseas, should not come as a surprise to many. Since there is little one can do when using Internet Relationship Sites we suggest ‘Stop Using The Sites!’; otherwise, Internet Users: “Smile For The General, Because You And Your Family Are On ‘Candid Camera'”

Much as Intelligence Agencies have for decades allegedly had the ability to surreptitiously ‘Power On’ some makes of Television Sets and remotely view those in the same room as the Sets, this modern iteration through the Internet is nothing new. The only way one can attempt to Maintain One’s Privacy is to “Be Private”; Let the air out of one’s ‘Ego Balloon’.

The Gross Privacy Disrespect shown by the World’s Intelligence Agencies, of Loyal Law Abiding Citizens, long term, shows NO Intelligence whatsoever; it does Evidence Arrogance and Naivety. As many people suspect, by behaving as the Agencies have been shown, they will become Suspect and then Loathed by the World’s Population; an Unwise Position to Endure.

‘Global Warming’ Computer Models Evidence “Garbage In, Garbage Out” (GIGO)

News Analysis: The Well Respected Dr. Patrick Moore, the Greenpeace Co-Founder, joins many other scientists in proclaiming: ‘Global Warming’ Computer Models Evidence “Garbage In, Garbage Out” (GIGO).  By merely looking back 50 Years, many Modelers who inputted a 50 Year Calculation Base, let the results of the Computer Outputs, substantiate the Computer Inputs; Skewed Logic many Scientists maintain (as Hundreds of Years are more accurate for a proper analysis and for correct conclusions therefrom).

There is VERIFIABLE Scientific Proof the Earth Warms and later Cools (as evidenced by its Biologic and Geologic Histories).The many other Data Flaws, which Dr. Moore deplores, gives further rise to the question: “Who Is Really Benefitting By ‘Beating The Drums’ for Global Warming?”

One quick, yet valid Methodology, to examine the provable worth of a “Scientific’ Premise is to look at who rapidly embraces it as a FACT; If it is a Politician (even a Vice-President) then “Caveat Emptor”.

All too often, the Political Ilk, ‘front’ for Business Interests with Special Agendas; “Global Control” is the Name of their Game.
