☆ Scents From Pine Forests Create Micro-Climates

News Analysis: Perhaps since it has been demonstrated that Scents From Pine Forests Create Micro-Climates, Concerned Billionaires of the World will financially back Environmentalists in planting Pine Forests everywhere possible. This because the Scent Chemicals of Pine Forests rise above the trees and bind with other Molecules and become a “Solar Energy Shield” reflecting the Sun’s Rays outward into the skies; thereby cooling the areas.

For many decades we have stressed the need for the world to Re-Forest itself as an effective way to influence Climate Change. Unfortunately, this Methodology is not “Sexy” nor “Thought To Be” High Technology (HT). This Mind Set being as viewed by many Journalism Majors who now write for the Mass Media. However, Recent Research can dispel the notion that Re-Forestation is not ‘HT’.  Micro-Climates being created by ‘Mother Nature’ are as Sophisticated and Evolved in the “Flora World” as any in the “Fauna World”.

Man in his Arrogance needs to Think Objectively, if he can, about the “Other Half of the Planet” of which he is not a Member: Flora,  for it is also Scientifically Stimulating as to its Evolved ‘Technical Abilities’.

Reality.

☆ In “Capitalistic” America, The Largest Corporations Get ‘Capital’ Welfare

News Analysis: In “Capitalistic” America, The Largest Corporations Get ‘Capital’ Welfare from Federal, State, and Local Governments. As the Corporations  have to impress their Shareholders, with every increased earnings, when possible, they eat from the Government Trough (by getting numerous Subsidies and Grants); very Chic.

American Taxpayers are told of the numerous benefits to their locales with jobs; this may be true. However, a Aircraft Manufacturer receiving approximately $20 Million Dollars per Airplane is better. The fact that the estimated $110 Billion Dollars are going to a few of America’s Biggest Corporations allows some of them to receive more ‘Public Welfare’ than actual earnings. Shareholders gain more from the Government Donations than do the Taxpayers who pay the bills.

Government Largess to Large Corporations insures that “They Are Too Big To Fail”; this is not exactly ‘Capitalism’, many people say. “Real” Capitalism allows a Business to Succeed or the Business to Fail; Economic Survival of the Fittest. 

Politicians, who are acting as Feudatories of the Largest Corporations, although Swearing Allegiance to their Federal, State. or Local Governments, all the while serve their Real Masters: America’s Largest Corporations. The Corporations will not fail since “The Fix Is Already In”.

The “Patriotic” Politicians personally want some ‘Table Scraps” (now or later) from their “Lords”.

Reality.

Cuban World Cigar Sales Soar As The World’s “Havanas” Connoisseurs Enjoy Them

News Analysis: Excepting for America (with its Asinine Embargo), Cuban World Cigar Sales Soar As The World’s “Havanas” Connoisseurs smoke these ‘Works of Art’. Speaking as Enjoyers of Cigars for many decades, as we are, few Businessmen in America see any sense to the Archaic Ambitions of Organized Crime Influenced Politicians who maintain the Embargo. This “Anti-Diplomatic Dinosaur” of this Prohibition should be relegated to the Trash Bin Of Bad International Relations. Certainly the American President who signed off on the Legislation commencing the Embargo, along with his ‘Whiskey-Smuggling Father’ have not done a favor for Americans who enjoy “Havanas”; the Finest of the Fine.

Cuba’s Famous Vuelta Abajo areas including San Juan and San Luis makes for the “Habano” the Cigar Fancier’s Delight. We say let Americans LEGALLY enjoy the best Cigars on Earth as others in the World do. Cuba’s approaching Half A Billion Dollars A Year In Global Cigar Sales should give Politicians in America the thought that the “Ignorant Embargo Act” should be immediately dispensed with.

Let American Cigars Lovers enjoy “Havanas” for ‘Freedom of Choice’ should outweigh Punishment for those who ejected Gangsters from the Intended Fiefdom of their American President’s Father. Those who continue to support the Embargo may want their Constituencies to see if they are also connected in some way to the “Outcasts of Ill-Repute: the Mobsters”.

☆ U.S. National Security Agency’s (NSA) Best Friends: Internet Relationship Sites

News Analysis: The American Intelligence Community (AIC) found a ‘Goldmine’ in Internet Relationship Sites (IRS’s). The Very Naïve Public FREELY gives up Personal Information, along with Photographs, to ‘IRS’s’ the amount of data being so substantial even the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation’s late great Mr. J. Edgar Hoover, could never comprehend. The cost to the American Government to harvest such data on a ‘Pre-Internet’ basis it could not afford (for this amount of data).

Many people think that the American Intelligence Agencies were partially funding initially, Start-up Companies in ‘Silicon Valley’, California, and elsewhere. It has been alleged that many of the ‘IRS’s quietly bringing in Agency Personnel into ‘IRS’s’ facilities to gain the reconnaissance of what was being surrendered by the Global ‘Freiers’.

Subsequent to their initial successes as being the “University Boys Who Worked Hard In Their Dormitories Designing Pertinent ‘IRS’s’ Software” and dressing like ‘Gymnasium Rats’, the Initial Public Offerings commenced on Wall Street. Of course, Wall Street “Insider’s Insiders” were aware of American Intelligence Agency Support of the “Silicon Valley Set”. Favorable Media reports of the “Genius” of these “Gymnasium Rats” made them the “Toasts of the Town”; this being demanded by the ‘Insider’s Insiders’.

Unfortunate for Americans and the Global Community as well, their Internet Naivety may eventually cost them dearly. “Information is Power; Personal Information is Nuclear” when used by Plotters who desire to Rule Nations. “To Know Your Enemy, Will Weaken Your Enemy” is a big reason why Intelligence Data on Every Human On Earth is sought by American Espionage Agencies.

Many people think the World’s Population who “Bit The Bait, But Received The Sharp Hook” in signing up with Internet Relationship Sites, will some day feel the Pain of The Hook (from which they cannot release themselves).

German Chancellor Angela Merkel Proposes Building A European Internet Free Of Spying By American ‘Internet Relationship’ (IR) Companies And Government

News Analysis:  German Chancellor Angela Merkel Proposes Building A European Internet Free Of Spying By American ‘Internet Relationship’ ‘IR’ Companies and the Government. Dr. Merkel knows that the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) is not Ceasing but may be Increasing Electronic Espionage Activities against its “Ally” Germany.

The European Union Members have every Right to Demand Privacy in Communications; America was not Decreed By God to be the “Holy Recipient of World Communications”. The United States stole the American’s Right to Privacy and the World’s also. Its feeble excuse that it “Created a Haystack so it could find the Needle” is absurd.

Many people think that ECONOMIC ESPIONAGE OF EVERYONE by the U.S. Government IS THE REALITY, not ‘Terrorism’.

“IR” Companies have provided the NSA with much Economic Data many Citizens think. Pre- ‘Initial Public Offering’ funding by the Government Intelligence Agencies got the “IR” Companies started, people say; later came Private Investors. As such, the “IR” Companies cannot break free of their ‘Handlers’. Like Prostitutes, they are ‘Owned’ by their Pimps. There ARE NO LONG TERM SECRETS (to the dismay of ‘IR’ Companies who were assured of Non-Revelation).

If European Leaders think about the possible Scale Of Economic Loss Possible through Electronic Espionage, the damage MAY FAR EXCEED any future investment in a European Internet.

Not purchasing ANY American Electronics for this Internet Project should be “Written In Granite” by all Nations participating; the American Electronics Manufacturers have already demonstrated they Cannot Be Trusted as ‘IR’ Companies also Cannot Be Trusted.

Our Motto, from Decades of International Experiences, is “Once Out, Never In”. Europeans may want to enjoy its benefits.

★ Norway’s January Trade Surplus Soars To 5.8 Billion Euros (7.65 Billion Dollars)

News Analysis: Norway’s 4.7+ Million Residents had their Country experience a January Trade Surplus of 5.8 Billion Euros which is an increase of 41.8% over January, 2013!

Norway’s Territory of 323,802 Km2 (125,020 Mi2) is rich with Gas, Oil, Mineral, and Timber. As such, it has provided for the following:

In January, Norway exported 43.4 Million Barrels of Oil; a 30% increase from the previous January. 

Its Fishing Resources are almost unmatched by other countries. In January it exported 695+Million Euros (916 Million Dollars) worth. Fresh Salmon Exports grew to almost 360 Million Euros (474.5 Million Dollars).

Norwegian ship-yards are selling both Conventional Ships and Oil Rigs World-wide. They had an increase of almost 300% in Vessel Exports!

Manufactured Goods and Minerals increased in export amount by 10% to 4 Billion Euros (5.2+ Billion Dollars).

Entrepreneurs and Investors should consider Funding Projects in Norway. Its 27% Corporate Tax Rate is not excessive (compared to some other Countries). It has a Maximum Personal Tax Rate of 46.8%.

An important aspect to remember that in a sluggish World Economy (that is defying the Feeble Economic Corrective Actions of the World’s Political Leaders), Norway is very busy exporting its Manufactured Goods and Mineral Resources; it has an “Economic Energy” not matched by many Countries. 

Norway’s Greatest Asset is its Hard Working and Intelligent People.

U.S. Federal Reserve Management: Financial Myopia Of 2008 Continues Today

News Analysis: With the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) Management its Financial Myopia Of 2008 Continues today with little learned by its past. Unfortunately the Management “Masters of the Universe” at the ‘Fed” are continuing with “Same-O, Same-O” policies since 2008. The University Economics Professors who join the ‘Fed’ and later go back to “Academia” do not understand: America Used To Be “The Benchmark Of Capitalism”. In the Capitalistic World, Businesses have the ABILITY TO SUCCEED OR THE ABILITY TO FAIL. Through successes, America improved.

Today, “Some Businesses are Too Big to Fail” Washington Politicians decree. They take Tax Payers money and ‘shore up’ the poor producers (such as defunct Solar Energy Companies like Solyndra); at a cost of 500 Hundred Million Dollars.

The ‘Fed’ presently sits on $4 Trillion Dollars of Obligations it acquired during its Inept Reign since 2008. How does it pay back its obligations? Certainly, it cannot do so in the brief  remaining term for the President (who gave the ‘Fed’ a free-hand in running things).

Allegedly the former Head of the “Fed” goes back to Academia; the new Head comes from there. Like a ‘Teeter-Totter” the ‘Fed’ goes up and down (but takes its occupants no where different).

Reality.

Solar Powered Boats Delight Environmentalists

News Analysis: Clean boats using Solar Power as the Energy Source for their Propulsion are gaining international acclaim to the delight of Environmentalists. Since an abundance of Solar Cells can be designed into a craft, more than adequate energy is assured for most applications. A big benefit is the lack of gasoline or oil contamination into fresh water (like pristine Lake Tahoe, Nevada) or harbors of the World.

Lack of need to purchase fuel makes boaters happy. Another benefit is acoustic; electric motors are many decibels quieter than internal combustion engines.

In Monaco, the aforementioned benefits of Marine Solar Energy Powered Vessels will be demonstrated. Someone with Prince Albert’s foresight can show the enthusiasm for promoting such an environmental friendly technology than is beneficial to the entire world.

Investors should consider investigating opportunities in “Solar Boating”.

Israel Proposes Tax Transparency

News Analysis: Israel proposes Tax Transparency for its wealthy Citizens and Corporations. The new law, if adopted, would reveal allegedly Hundreds of Billions of Dollars in “Black Capital” secreted in Foreign Accounts. Tax information obtained by the Israeli Government might be exchanged with Foreign Government Tax Officials.

This Bill, which is described as an “…Earthquake for Israeli business and wealthy individuals….” advises those with hidden funds to immediately acknowledge such to Israeli Tax Authorities. In doing so, some more rigorous actions may not be taken against the Depositors by the Israeli Government.

There are NO Long Term Secrets.

Reality.

☆ With Financing, Buyers Will Buy

News Analysis: U.S. Export-Import Bank (Ex-Im) Financing makes it possible for people around the World to purchase American Goods; with Financing, Buyers will Buy. On more expensive items such as aircraft, financing is essential for all but the most capitalized of Corporations or Individuals. For years, the Good Work of  ‘Ex-Im’ have allowed the Exports of American Goods to occur (despite, in some recent cases, slowdowns of sales such as American Electronics due to the U.S. National Security Agency electronic monitoring of the world; for which foreign buyers object).

Many people think that the Hundreds of Billions of Dollars  given by this President (in his first 30 days in Office) should have been DIRECTLY GIVEN to ‘Ex-Im’ rather than Commercial Banks.

It is obvious the Commercial Banks did not loan the monies to Corporations to spur employment (as the Politicians mislead Americans into thinking). The ‘Oblique’ Funding Route costs more money to service.

While  the American Public thinks ‘Ex-Im’ has ‘Bankers’ working for it, Citizens are of the opinion Commercial Banks have “Banksters” working for them.

Reality.
