☆ 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.

Reality.

☆ 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).

Reality.

☆ 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.

‘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.

Greek Investors Expand Into The Pastoral Area Of Bulgaria

News Analysis: Greek Investors Expand Into The Pastoral Area Of Bulgaria by seeking 2,000 Dekares (494 Acres) of land to create a large Dairy Processing Operation. The Wisdom of  this move can be, in part, supported by the purported 10% Corporate and Maximum Personal Tax Rates in Bulgaria Vs. 26% Corporate and 42% Maximum Personal Tax Rates in Greece. Additionally, the widely reported Corruption of Greek Military and Political Leaders regarding past Defense Contracts with Foreign Companies dissuades many to invest in Greece.  Until Greek Authorities Get Serious about Prosecuting those ‘Economic Traitors’ and Incarcerating those found Guilty, No Change will occur. It will be “Same-O, Same-O”; merely “Changes in the Actors but the same Script”. Other Greek Investors may go to Bulgaria as a result.

The Bulgarian Government in Sofia is wise to keep the Tax Rates at 10%; Entrepreneurs and Investors will put their Monies where they can get a Decent Financial Return for their Risk. The 28 Provinces of Bulgaria allow for a wide sphere of Agricultural Endeavors, Industrial Manufacturing, Mining, and Research and Development Opportunities.

For those who locate in Sofia, a City of 1.2+ Million People, will find it as modern of a European City as any. The friendly, hard-working, and intelligent Bulgarians will be great assets to companies locating therein (especially for the Greeks).

Hackers: 360+ Million Reasons To Be Stealthy With Your Personal Data

News Analysis: The alleged newly discovered Hacking of 360 Million Person’s Data is large no doubt. The WILLFUL SURRENDERING of Personal Information (including Photographs)  to Internet Relationship Sites (IRS’s)  by a BILLION+ People; Is Enormous. A Person’s “Legend” (Profile) can easily be created of the data from the ‘IRS’s’ which can be surprisingly accurate of the Owner (for use by Criminals). If “Financial” Hacked Data is added to a Particular Person’s Profile, he or she may be in for a “World of Hurt”.

In America, there is the added ‘Minefield’ of the Questionable ‘Secure’ Health Data the White House brags about in its (largely Non-Read Before Approved)  Ill-Conceived Health Plan. This Plan, which was based on a LIE (about one being able to keep one’s Health Insurer), will add more information to be readily Hacked, many experts agree.

Unfortunately, for the World’s Masses who use the Internet, once Information is released into “Cyber-Space” it CANNOT BE RETRIEVED; It Is ‘Perpetual’.

What can be suggested for our Readers, from our Decades Of International Experiences, to consider: “Cut Your ‘Losses’. Provide No New Data to ‘IRS’s’.” Stop Being A ‘Fool’ for those who may prove to be ‘Cruel’.

“INFORMATION IS POWER; PERSONAL INFORMATION IS NUCLEAR.”

★ Shipyards Which Provide Financing For New-Buildings Create Vessels For Customers

News Analysis: Since Commencement of the World Recession of 2008, Shipyards Which Provide Financing For New-Buildings Create Vessels For Customers; those which Don’t, Won’t. The several Fine and Very Capable Shipyards in Finland have been experiencing this reality for half a decade by losing Bids to other Nation’s Ship Yards or have been losing existing Contracts to the same.

Investors with some foresight may see many Opportunities to provide Funds for New-Buildings in Finnish Ship Yards. Rather than worrying about not knowing the difference between a ‘Plimsoll Line’ and a ‘Poop Deck’, they should understand that the Vessel’s Value may be the Security for the Loan, in some Agreements; in others, the Ship Yard Real Property and Facilities may also Secure The Loans. The important thing to remember is: “The World Belongs To The Aggressive, Make the Entire World Your ‘Oyster of Investment'”. The typical Financing Rates of “LIBOR +” are very worthwhile.

Seek out Experienced Professionals who can objectively evaluate New-Building Projects as to ‘Risk/Reward’ Valuations. Let your New-Building Investments be like a Sailor’s “Red Sky At Night”.

☆ Were The Stock Markets’ “Six-Month Look-Ahead Views” Holograms?

It has been historically cited by Economists that Stock Markets ‘Look Six-Months Ahead’ and then act on their Perceptions. It appears that the ‘Historical Highs’ of recent Market Pricing (circa 2013) was based on Mirages. The Lackluster Economy in America, to date, may give one the impression that the “Bubble Masters” who ‘Pumped Up’ The Stock Markets (and their Mass Media Minions) are really delivering mere ‘Holograms of Economic Recovery’ which do NOT factually exist (instead, mere reproduced images).

If one considers the alleged 1.2 Trillion Dollars spent by the U.S. White House for Bankers along with the 4 Trillion Dollars spent by the U.S. Federal Reserve, such current Economic Malaise is Pathetic. Since the Mass Media are not “Screaming to the Heavens” about the Government’s Waste of Tax Payer Assets, they may be inferred to be accomplices in this Grand Larceny.

It could well be that the anticipated “May-June” ‘Popping of the Stock Market Bubble’ may occur a little sooner than they thought. The Corrected Erroneous Economic Prognostication by the U.S. Government, may cause the “Rats to Abandon Ship” earlier than anticipated. The Stock Market “Freiers” will ask the “Shtarkers” when they see them jump into their Life Boats and depart: “Is the Ship Sinking?” The “Shtarkers” will reply “No. From our view in our Lifeboats we will yell at you when it is.”

☆ Bankers Who Support Tax Evasion Are “Banksters”

News Analysis: Everybody living in their ‘Own’ Countries are expected to abide by, and respect their Laws (including Tax Laws). Moving their Monies to other Countries to escape Taxation may provide Immediate Financial Relief (but eventually, severe Grief). As we have maintained, from decades of International Exposure: “There Are No Long Term Secrets”.  To think that Tax Authorities cannot find ‘Illegal’ (in its broadest sense) Funds is Naïve.

Bankers Who Support Tax Evasion Are “Banksters” and will turn on their Depositors to “Save Their Own Hides”. It defies credibility when “Banksters” who are obviously engaging in Tax Evasion for their Depositors, plead Ignorance of the Transactions. Forensic Accountants can track the ‘Paper Trails’ of the Depositors and the subsequent hiding of Accounts by the “Banksters”. Legitimate Bank Employees can, and some have already, turned Account Records over to Tax Authorities. Unless EVERYONE working in a particular Bank is Corrupt, (unlikely), the foolish Banksters should expect to be revealed for what they are: Thieves Feigning Financial Legitimacy.

If one does not like the Tax Rates or other elements of a Country’s Tax System, he or she: May attempt to change the Laws; May renounce their Citizenship and move elsewhere; May pay their Taxes and complain about them to their ‘Significant Other’; or, perhaps best of all, May Earn More Money. Taxes Not Paid (but hidden in Accounts by “Banksters” in other Countries, is really ‘Sovereign Nation Treasury Theft’ by the Depositor(s); Nothing Less.

Until  “Banksters” PERSONALLY feel the Pain from their Gain, there will be many applying for those Financial Positions (since the rewards can be significant). Lengthy Prison Sentences for these Crooks (usually wearing ‘Business’ Suits, White Shirts, and Ties) can, however, be assured to reduce the Enthusiasm of Applicants to be ‘Banksters”.
