Honduras Sovereignty Law Enacted: Investigation, Persuasion, And Then Elimination Of The Narcotics Aircraft Threat

News Analysis: To stop Cocaine Trafficking in Honduran Skies by over-flights going to America, Honduran Officials have enacted a new law. It requires a 18:00 Hours to 06:00 Hours Curfew for aircraft traveling at 5,500 meters (18,044 ft) altitude and at less than 550 kph  (341 mph). These Aircraft typically have no Flight Plans communicated with Officials and are carrying Illegal Drugs.

When detected at night, Honduran Air Force Fighters will approach the suspect aircraft and tell them by radio to land at a nearby airport for searching for contraband. If they choose to ignore the Air Force, they will be shot down.

This “Day Ruiner” Approach to Illegal Drug Transportation will effectively stifle shipments going North to America through Honduran Air Space.

Some people might think this “Draconian” Law is harsh in that it will kill the Traffickers. While, perhaps true, the number possibly killed by this Law is minuscule to the vast number of Americans who die weekly from Illegal Narcotics Consumption.

Reality.

★ California, World’s Sixth Largest Economy, Has Its Drought Emergency Worsening

News Analysis: California’s Drought, the worst in its 153 year History, brings about a dilemma for Farmers. They use  34 Million Acre Feet of Water out of an available total of 43 Million Acre Feet

(An ‘Acre Foot’ is 325,853 U.S. Gallons); Water that is diverted from groundwater, lakes, and rivers. The outlook for measurable rain throughout the State looks very grim for at least the next 90 days per U.S. Government Weather Officials.

The Plethora of Fruits and Vegetables produced in the State is legendary. The three elements of: Abundant Water, Rich Soil, and, many days of Sunshine were California’s ‘Natural Inheritance’. Now, the ‘Game’ has Changed.

Water Conservation, Politicians love to discuss, is only a ‘Bandage’ Repair to a problem. However, this approach can be enhanced by: Ceasing additional acreage for farming throughout the State; Altering the crop mix from high water consumption Fruits and Vegetables to low usage crops; Botanically modifying both Fruit Trees and Grape Vines to use less water; Removal of  Palm Trees; for they consume up to 1,000 liters (264 gallons) of water a day and do not provide shade. 

An additional observation regarding Water Conservation is the America’s Largess in recently increasing allocations of Colorado River Water to Mexico; this was obviously fashionable but short-sighted. One might think the approximately $25+/- Billion Dollars YEARLY  being repatriated to Mexico from America would allow Mexico to build many Desalinization Plants in their beautiful country with TWO Oceans.

The greater need for California is for an Increase in Fresh Water Supply. This can be accomplished by building Desalinization Plants up and down the coast of the Pacific Ocean. If the fresh water is pumped into local aquifers near each facility, then  neighboring regions could draw off the HISTORICAL ALLOCATION of their neighbor (which would be using the ‘New Desalinated Water’). Like ‘Falling Dominoes’ this step-by-step approach would eventually reach the San Joaquin Valley where most farms of the Northern Half of the State are located.

To those who loathe the idea of Desalinization Plants along the California Coast, one can only say: “Necessity Overpowers Fashion-ability”. 

To Investors, one can envision the “Lowered Supply/Steady Demand” Implications of the Drought on Agricultural and Animal Products of all kinds. Prices will increase and Wise Persons with Forethought will explore areas of the world presently growing crops America can use. Additionally, Livestock being raised overseas could be shipped to the United States. 

For the longer term, Entrepreneurs may seek land, in Non-Drought Regions where they could plant crops or Contract with existing Farmers in other geographic areas to supply Produce for America.

Climate Change is an on-going Natural  Process which provides many Opportunities for those Individuals who both can ‘Connect the Dots’ and realize: “The Glass Is Always Half-Full”.

★ ‘Sailing Away’ With The Public’s Monies Are Not “Sail Riggers” But “Currency And Precious Metals Riggers”

News Analysis: The London Inter-Bank Official Rate (LIBOR)  has been connected to $300+ Trillion Dollars in Derivatives, Loans, and Various Securities over the past few years (and seen as the “Benchmark” others could emulate), however  it WAS Manipulated. The Scandal might be joined by possibly another Criminal Cabal: Foreign Currency and Precious Metals Rigging.

Some Currency ‘Insiders’ are thought to engage in “Fixing” the $5.3 Trillion Dollar A Day Foreign Exchange Market. Foreign Exchanges and the Precious Metals Markets are all under the scrutiny now of Various Nations’ Government Officials for much of the same reasons as ‘LIBOR’; Market Manipulation/Price Fixing.

The 10:30 A.M and the 15:00 P.M. Price Setting for Gold is supplanted by Silver’s Price Setting at Noon in London. Many say that there is more than sufficient time for “Insiders” to work their deals in the ‘Plots’.

Perhaps more nefarious regarding certain Commodities is: Purchasers of “Precious Metal Paper” (Certificates) rather than the Actual Bullion may want to rethink their position: Is the Commodity[s] that they ‘Own’ really in existence? Is the “Security Savings” by not taking possession worth the risk that the Precious Metals might be that of others (“Double Sales”)? Creating a “Piece of Paper With Ink On It As A Certificate Of Ownership” is much easier than creating a Bar of Gold (‘Aurum’ originates from collisions with Neutron Stars).

As Germany is wisely repatriating its bullion from the U.S. Government after allegedly requiring a Physical Audit of “Its’ Gold, investors should do the same. The “68 Foot Cube” of Gold represents allegedly, all that has been mined and processed to date many say. There are 171,300 Metric Tons in Circulation ($9.6+/- Trillion Dollars worth); yet, wisely, Germany repatriated some of its Gold Bullion! 

The Untold Gains by “Inflating or Deflating” Commodities and Currencies, many Legitimate Law Enforcement Officials presume, is to be in the Billions of Dollars a Year. They are thwarted however by “Sharing the Wealth” of the Perpetrators (with other Accountants, Bankers, Corrupt Government Officials, and Traders). These associated Miscreants perpetuate the ‘Scams’ on the Freiers who think the FANTASY: “All  Exchanges and Markets are Legitimate”. 

‘The bigger the market, the bigger the thieves that are in it’ many Legitimate Law Enforcement think.

Great White Sharks Do Not Inhabit Small Lakes.

Zim Israel Shipping Lines Failure Gives Creditors Possession

News Analysis: Much Vaunted Zim Israel Shipping Lines has been costing investors Hundreds of Millions of Dollars a Year. It now owes others $3 Billion Dollars. After  putting additional funds into this Company, creditors will finally take control. The much anticipated turn around in Shipping Rates did not materialize as predicted by ‘Shipping Experts’. Now, it will be up to the new owners to figure a methodology to try and recapture some of their investments in this entity. 

International Shipping is a tough business in which to thrive as well as just survive. It takes more than just Capital for Success; Foresight and Tenacity are also needed. Arrogance is as useful as ‘Bilge Water’.

Pakistan Central Bank Loosens Loan Requirements As Banks Tighten Audits Accordingly

News Analysis: The State Bank Of Pakistan has altered some of its loan requirements so greater commercial activities can commence. During this process, the various Banks in Pakistan understand that Operational Overviews are Imperative. Increased Transparency will be demanded for the Boards of Directors in each Bank.

Pakistan is wise in cautiously liberalizing loan requirements to spur economic growth. The Textiles supplied for Export should be supplanted with Hard Goods for foreign consumption some people say.   Intelligent and hard working Pakistanis (193 + Million) need to get beyond Agricultural Exports  in this Country of 796,000+ Km2 (307,000+ Mi2).

Investors who understand the higher risk of Investing in Pakistan should also appreciate the Higher Profits that can be attained in the country. Mineral Exploration would be a good start. Certainly the Government would consider Foreign Investment Funds to be important for its citizens’ prosperity.

Monaco’s Compagnie Monégasque de Banque (CMB) Is A Bank With Good Reserves

News Analysis: Monaco is proud of it Wealthy Citizens and its Beautiful Surroundings. Prince Albert has done a fine job of attracting Clientele into visiting the Principality and also investing there. Interrelated with this are the activities of ‘CMB’ (founded in 1976). It is noted for its high level of Capital Reserves  and Competent Management. Its Assets (2012) were 2.05+ Billion Euros ($2.8+ Billion Dollars).

A minimum Solvency Ratio of 8% is mandated by Basel II Requirements; at ‘CMB’ it is over Fifty Percent. Short term liabilities are covered significantly as well.

Investors thinking of placing funds into Projects in the Geographic Area of the Mediterranean and/or establishing some sort of abode for transient stays in the Principality may want to consider “CMB’.

The requirements of International Banking require Personnel a ‘Cut Above’ “Domestic Banking”. A “Bird of Paradise” has many more Inherent Assets than a mere “Sparrow”.

Turkmenistan’s President Seeks Legitimate Bankers In His Country

News Analysis: Turkmenistan President Mr. Gurbanguli Berdymukhamedov took the unusual step of firing numerous Central Bank and other Banks’ Officials who were apparently engaging in Significant Banking Irregularities. In December, 2013, the President chastised the Heads of 10 Banks for Improprieties.

Energy rich Turkmenistan, a country covering 488,000+ Km2 ( 188,000 Mi2) with 5,100,000+ Citizens, has Natural Gas and Oil Deposits which are not fully explored. Some people now think the money flow into this Country may have potentially corrupted some Officials in Ashgabat, its Capital and elsewhere. Countering such greed, was the Firm Command of the President. The scope of his action is unparalleled by other countries who are tolerant of such perverse Banking Insider Irregularities. 

The President demonstrates: “Good Leaders Lead By Example”. To his credit, he understands that: “In Large Grain Silos, stuffed with a Country’s Harvest of Wheat, One who has the Wisdom to look, will always find Bugs.”

Many people around the World are coming to realize that Some Bankers, who love to profess their Amity, Legitimacy, and Objectivity in their Profession, are perhaps better “Bank Robbers” than ‘Bank Robbers’.

☆ U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) $11+/- Billion Dollars A Year Does Not Catch Terrorists But Is Wonderful For White House Unemployment Statistics

News Analysis: Much like the Department of Homeland Security’s Transportation Security Administration (TSA) 55,600 Employees using up $7+ Billion Dollars a Year, the ‘NSA’s” 40,000+/- Employees devour an Estimated 11+Billion Dollars a Year Budget. So, the almost 100,000 in Both Groups do not appear in the Unemployment Statistics of America; How clever!

Unfortunately, as it becomes more evident that the Electronic Intelligence being amassed by the U.S. Government is not helping to catch Terrorists, it is definitely eroding away Americans’ Constitutional Right To Privacy. A further Factual Complication to this Gross “Terrorist Behind Every Bush” Hysteria is the fact that TSA has not shown it is catching Terrorists either! 

The “Panoplia” of almost 100,000 ‘Security’ Personnel CANNOT FACTUALLY SHOW their ‘Catching of Terrorists Who Threaten America’. It can demonstrate  however, that it is weakening the country by “Helping Bleed it to Death” economically.

The World Terrorist Organizations Combined, have not, nor do not now, cost America anywhere near what the aforementioned Two “Security’ Units of The U.S. Government cost Citizens a year.  

All the Terrorists have to do is make various oral or written Hostile Pronouncements in the Media and sit back and laugh as America spends Billions of Dollars more to fund its “Protectors to Fight Against Terrorism”. The Specious Argument that” “ONE Event Stopped is worth the Billions of Dollars Spent” is most likely uttered those who have been Dining at the ‘Public Trough’ their entire working careers.

One CANNOT expect there to be ANY reduction of Budgets to these Two Groups in the foreseeable future. All the two have to do is: When a Terrorist Action takes place Anywhere in the World, have the Media “Play it up Big” in America. Senators and Members of the House of Representatives would be loathe to cut the “Anti-terrorism” Security Budgets then. The approximately 100,000 Voters in the two Groups assure that “Continue Spending Policy” is in force so they can work in such jobs until their retirements in several decades!

The ONLY time the White House does NOT make wide use of the Terrorist Act(s) to aid its Agenda, is when a situation like Benghazi, Libya occurs. Then they conveniently disavow any knowledge of the particulars because they were in Las Vegas, Nevada watching some entertainers perform!

Greece Department Of Defense (DOD) Procurement Rules Upgrade: Better Late Than Never

News Analysis: The Rampant Corruption by some Greek Politicians, Civilian, and Military Personnel over the past SEVERAL DECADES might be lightly addressed in 2014. The ‘DOD’ may upgrade its Procurement Policies this year. Unfortunately, it appears the many Crooks who stole from the People are not having their Ill-Gotten Gains Confiscated or are they Headed to Prison. Citizens of other countries find the “Economic Treason” which caused many Greeks much pain to be worthy of Penal Retribution through the Greek Legal System. Apparently, the Vested Interests in Athens thinks otherwise. Could it be that Continued Corruption is afoot in Greece?

“Den xero”, a Greek might reply.

That the European Union bails out Greece is notable, but the E.U.  too should demand legal redress against the “Greek Economic Traitors” wherever they have moved.

When is comes to Behavior Modification of ‘Bribees; or Embezzlers, if there is No Pain, there is No Gain (in getting them to change their Evil Ways).

Denmark’s Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) Can Conceal “The Steal”

News Analysis: People desirous of Hiding Funds from Tax Authorities are presently employing the ‘LLP’ in Denmark to conceal their monies (Legitimate or Otherwise) gained elsewhere. Since both the Funds and the Beneficiaries of the Partnership are hidden from view, “Transparency” is totally obscured.

One can anticipate that pressure exerted by other Countries on Denmark will compel a Tax Change in the Country. Tax Evasion costs such enormous yearly Revenue Losses to Countries everywhere that lack of enthusiasm for the ‘LLP’ can be understood.

One might ask a Tax Evader: “Does the Joy of Concealment Equal The Risk Of Punishment?”

As Governments’ Electronic Interception of Data becomes even more pervasive, one might be of the opinion that “A Tax Evader Not Getting Caught Is As Possible As Bathing In The Ocean And Not Getting Wet”. 

Reality.
