Nano-Windmill Currents Will Create Electrical Currents For Cell Phones

News Analysis: Personnel at the University of Texas at Arlington have created a Nano-Windmill Charger for Cell Phones and other apparatuses. By exposing the Nano-Windmills to Air Currents, Mechanical Energy is converted to Electrical Energy for various devices. For example, someone sitting in a breezeway or near a operating fan could charge their cell phone by exposing the device to air flow..

The cost of Cutting Tools, Molds, Stamping Dies and ‘Touch Labor’ to Assemble the Units should be minimal when compared to the potential size of the International Market for such a device.

Investors may want to contact the Inventors and see if Licenses to Produce and Market the devices are available.

A Wise Corporation’s Spy Hire To Help Put Out “Fires”

News Analysis: An American Corporation placed a former Spy on its Board of Directors; a VERY WISE DECISION (according to many International Businessmen). Spies are Inordinately Qualified for many Analytical Jobs (beyond Spying); which today are needed by Global Corporations.

For example, keeping Electronic Business Data confidential from being passed on by U.S. National Security Agency Personnel  to personal friends (illegal and surreptitious, of course) is a task. Also, looking at various Commodities and their Sources can be assisted by these espionage professionals.

Former espionage professionals can stop Senior Managers, who travel on International Corporate Business, from making Deplorable Social Gaffes; such as constantly bowing to various Foreign Royalty as was done by the American President.  Even hiring “Sky Blue” colored limousines to ride around in is poor taste in certain countries. Former Spies can advise about Proper Protocol of which they have witnessed many times in many locations of the world.  

On a greater scale, one only needs to look at the Vast Capabilities in Judgement demonstrated to date by former K.G.B. Leader Mr. Vladimir Putin, President of Russia. He is Without Compare to many other World “Leaders”.

The “Bottom Line” in Today’s World  is: “Wise Corporate Leaders Surmise That Serious Concerns Will Arise For Which Former Spies Can Properly Advise.” Former Spies have ‘Been There; Done That’.

There is NO SUBSTITUTE for Experience.

Reality.

Benghazi, Libya, Is Building A New Tourist Complex

News Analysis: Benghazi, Libya, which has had some poor Public Relations News in the World Press is building a new Tourist Complex, the Five-star Corinthia Hotel. Permits have already been attained and construction is commencing. The Hotel will have 259 Rooms and Suites, 10,000 m2 (107,600 ft2) of Office Space, 2,000 m2 (21,520 ft2) of Retail Space, two Restaurants, Banquet Halls, Business Center, and a Spa. This Complex is located on the Seafront.

Benghazi has a substantial Petrochemical Industry which is being rejuvenated. As the financial situation of Benghazi improves, opportunities for profits will abound. Since the tremendous natural resources of the country will belong to Libyans (rather than when it was a “Fiefdom of its former Ruler”) Infrastructure Development should increase due to properly disbursed revenues. As the Per Capita Income accelerates in Libya, its Citizens should have more Disposable Income with which to purchase Hard and Soft Goods of their choice.  

Going from the infamous “American Debacle” of yesteryear to Benghazi today reveals a desire of Libyans to finally be able to enjoy the “Fruits of their Country”.

Entrepreneurs may consider exploring for Business Opportunities in this “New Libya”.

U.S. Federal Reserve (FED): Today and Tomorrow Are To Be The Same As Yesterday

News Analysis:  The new head of the U.S. Federal Reserve ‘FED’ evidences a Historical Predisposition to “Loose Money Makes Peoples’ Days Sunny” many  say. The outgoing Head of the “Fed” did not exercise reserve when it came to Printing and Spending Money; this new incoming Head has been a Cheerleader of this same  imprudent policy. Her low approval rate by the U.S. Senate is telling [and  the vote was conveniently held during a hellacious Snowstorm; so Senators were not all present to vote].

The rationale of incurring in excess of Trillions of Dollars in Debt and retaining a 7 % Consistent Unemployment Rate  demonstrates the Ineffectivity of the ‘Fed’s’ Monetary Policies. The $4 Trillion Dollars in Bonds acquired by the ‘Fed’ evidences potential gargantuan losses as well, many people opine.

The “Bottom Line” of the U.S. Government’s Naïve Approach to the Ignorant and Self-Serving Decisions by Managements in Banks, Finance, and Large Manufacturing Companies in America over the past couple of decades is being exposed. The aforementioned entities were deemed “Too Big To Fail” (by ‘Uncle Sam’). They (with their Lobbyists and alleged “Remunerations Dispersed”) were assured of ‘Bailouts” using Taxpayer Funds; Millions of Dollars of which have not been repaid.

The fact that the physically gigantic “Financial Stimulus Bill”, to help the aforementioned, was WRITTEN and SIGNED in the first 30 Days in Office makes many wonder how was that possible? Did Banks and such have their Attorneys draft it BEFORE the Presidential Election even took place? Such complex and lengthy documents can take Months to properly construct; especially when a Trillion + Dollars is involved! “Government Attorneys do not work that fast” many people think. Which of the Members of the Investigative Press ever inquired formally into this subject?

The Philosophy of the U.S. Government  was to dissolve “Capitalism” as many knew it and substitute “Federalism” in its place. The Regime in Washington, D.C.  dispensed with the Concept: Capitalism allows the “Efficient to Succeed, and the Inefficient to Fail”. Ergo, Business Evolution takes place and leaves the Efficient to continue. (‘Economic Adaptation’ it might be called).

The ‘Fed’ acted over the past eight years as the Chief Minion of “Federalism” and still has Mediocre Results for the Trillions of Dollars spent since the last Administration. The fact that the Mass Media choose to ignore these Enormous Expenditures over the past years and their poor results is telling. It indicates  they will not see the upcoming Financial Pending Downturn; as they did not see 2008’s omens, many Economists are predicting.

And, think: Of the Trillions of  Dollars spent, 7% Unemployment of Americans still remains.

Reality.

Bermuda Stock Exchange (BSX) Insurance-Linked Securities Soar

News Analysis: More Insurance-Linked Companies are listing on the Bermuda Stock Exchange (BSX) than ever before. Listings of 38 companies in 2012 rose to 77 in 2013. Capitalization for these rose to $9.7 Billion Dollars in 2013 from $5.8 Billion Dollars in 2012.

The ‘BSX’ Total Market Capitalization (excluding Collective Investment Vehicle Listings) is $428+ Billion Dollars.

Newer Entrepreneurs, in particular, may want to consider possible Project Funding Initiatives in Bermuda. Others have been using Bermuda as a reliable funding source for decades. The Insurance and Re-Insurance Industries of Bermuda are legendary. With their prosperity comes the need of Capital Placement for continued Investment Diversification.  After all, who better than people in the Insurance Business, Understand Risk?

U.S. Federal Reserve Vote: Preserve Short-Term Financial “Policies of Plenty” or Re-gain Former Fiscal Responsibility?

News Analysis: Monday, 6 January, 2014 may have a U.S. Senate Decision on Leadership of the  Federal Reserve. The offered candidate unfortunately is considered by a myriad of Senators to epitomize a “Free Stimulus Spending Until It Hurts” attitude. Now, many concerned Senators ask if at this juncture, can the U.S. Federal Deficit keep soaring into the Heavens?

The exiting Federal Reserve Chairman, exercised anything BUT Reserve in Monetary Creation, various Financial Experts have opined. It was during his leadership that America’s Debt rose to over $17+ Trillion Dollars. This pathetic situation shows a complete misunderstanding by Federal Reserve Members.

“Capricious Capital Creation Causes Chaos” should be the Federal Reserve’s Mantra many Economists think. The question of concern to other Nations as well as to Americans is: “Will a Federal Reserve keep on serving a White House of Economically Misunderstanding Occupants? It by preserving its current policies, or will Fiscal Restraint start to take hold?” The Federal Reserves $4 Trillion Dollars in “Arrears” displays such Unknowing Largess.

The Senators voting on the Nominee for Chairperson of The Federal Reserve will let the World know if they are Part of the Problem or Part of the Solution. 

Reality.

If the Greek Bribees Are Caught And Punished, What About The Foreign Bribers?

News Analysis: Greece had created a Financial Debacle of its own accord by ‘allowing’ Foreign Defense Contractors to bribe Greek Officials unabated.  How well ‘Vetted” were those in Power in Greece PRIOR TO Signing Contracts with Defense Contractors?  What Forensic Accounting occurred on EVERYBODY in positions of Authority to be bribed? What Agency in Greece had the Ability to Investigate and the Power to Punish any wrongdoers? Which Bribees vacated Greece and moved to America?

The Millions of Dollars which have exchanged hands from Bribers (Foreign Defense Contractors) to Bribees (Greek Politicians and Defense Officials) have yet to have serious consequences for both groups, many people say. That they committed “Economic Treason To Greece” is understandable, individuals think.  

To date, which of Greece’s Highest Level Government Officials, who have Swiss or other Off-Shore Bank Accounts (from their Foreign Defense Donors) have been tried, convicted, and put in Prison? Instead,  individually, the Sanctimonious Uttering of each  is: “Then Exo Xpimata!”

“Scata!” many concerned Greek Citizens might declare of the Bribees.

Greek Prosecutors should turn collected Defalcation Evidence over  to the International Court. This for favorable dispositions against Foreign Defense Contractors over which they have no jurisdiction. The Bribers should be punished severely. The Misery they caused Millions of Greeks is Deplorable; almost as much as did the Greek Bribees.

☆ U.S. Federal Reserve “Ignores Termites In The Woodwork”

News Analysis:  America has been, and is currently experiencing 7% Unemployment nationally.

In fact, lessening that dire percentage is the fact that many Americans have totally withdrawn from the Labor Pool entirely. The Administration’s counter-argument to this fact is that more Americans are gaining employment. The sad reality is that many people are going into Minimum Wage Jobs (MWJ) such as ‘Fast Food’ Emporia. Now, for the ‘MWJ’s’, the new “Health Plan For America” has employers cutting employee hours since they cannot afford the ‘Plan’s’ cost.

As for “The Fed”, it has provided some of the means to attain a $17 + Trillion Dollar Current Deficit. It certainly has been commissioning the printing of Billions of Dollars per week to help artificially keep money available. Adding to this was Acutely Lowering Interest Rates. Now, it does NOT have that tool available for future use, if needed.

The “Fed” loves to cite the current rise of  “Stocks”. It says little about the lack of Fundamentals to Support the Prices of these Securities.   A creation by the “Bubble Masters”, it lured many Precious Metal Customers to dump their holdings and enter  the “Stock Market”.  For example, Initial Public Offerings of many of the Internet “Socialization” Stocks were given Price Multiples FAR IN EXCESS of their Revenues (Real or Imagined). By having the Media join in to assist the “Bubble Masters” the “Freiers” ‘bit the bait’ (but got the hook).  Do they expect the Market to double in value in 2014?

The trumpeting of the return of the “Housing Market” is more ‘Fed’ “Shuck and Jive”. Many of the foreclosed homes throughout America were re-purchased by Investment Funds who hoped to ‘Flip’ the properties later. However, since 7% Unemployment remains, people cannot afford the real estate. Those who work in “Fast Food’ jobs cannot afford the homes either. Now, the Funds are “Stuck with the Muck”. At best, they hope to rent the properties. Unfortunately, many people cannot afford the monthly rent.

The ‘Fed’ has $4+ Trillion Dollars of obligations outstanding; a “Mount Everest” of Liability. If ANY large Natural Disaster, Created Human Catastrophe, or War were to occur, the “Penny Wise-Pound Foolish” activities of the ‘Fed’ would be demonstrated. The ‘Fed’ is sitting atop a three-legged stool many persons with Financial Acumen think.

The new Regime that will be taking over the ‘Fed’ will exhibit its proclivity to print money at an egregious rate; contrary to current pronouncement, some say.

Unfortunately many Americans cannot discern “Short-Term Financial Tactics” vis-à-vis “REAL Long-Term Economic Prosperity”. Like Ants, they view  the American Economy two-dimensionally; rather than like Bald Eagles, who take a three-dimensional perspective of that which personally affects their survival.

When Americans realize what Economic Realities are in the Nation, perhaps they will exhibit their chagrin when they vote in the next two National Elections. The past two Elections they voted for “Change”; that is what they now have.

☆ U.S. White House Disregards Americans’ Right To Privacy

News Analysis: The Economically “Wealthiest Country In The World”, America, is the World’s “Poorest Country” as to Electronic Privacy Rights.

America, was, is, and apparently will remain, the Least Effective Country in Guarding the Rights of Its Citizens To Electronic Privacy. The United States Constitution, Fourth Amendment, states:

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

The U.S. National Security Agency (NSA), as directed by the “White House”, apparently does not agree with, nor behave according to this Amendment’s Simple Mandate. As a result, Factual Evidence from the ‘NSA’ divulges that Americans who are supposed to be “Privacy Protected” by the Fourth Amendment, ARE NOT. Furthermore, Every Person in the World, who uses Cellular Telephones and/or Computers, have their Communications intercepted by the ‘NSA’; as well by ‘Friendly Intelligence Services’ who are acting as Minions of the ‘NSA’.  

Pandemic Paranoia in Washington, D.C., commenced largely after New York City’s Trade Center Debacle, and has expanded into Seeing “Terrorists Behind Every Bush” In Every Country Of The World. This Delusional Behavior, of course, comes at an Estimated Price of approximately $85 Billion Dollars spent a year in America by its Government. It is Prime Business for Defense Contractors who are having their budgets cut in other areas of Systems and Weaponry; they are not complaining.

Unfortunately, it has been widely reported that “NO TERRORIST ATTACKS HAVE BEEN THWARTED BY THIS SURVEILLANCE OF EVERYONE ON EARTH” per an alleged White House Security Committee Representative.

In America, in particular, “Everything has a Cost and a Possible Benefit’. Perhaps  other World Leaders may wake up an say “Enough of this Spying on all of Humanity” and Stop Purchasing American Goods and Services”.  The White House will see that the cost of this Psychological Pandemic is outweighing any possible Benefit of “Catching Terrorists”.

Actual Terrorists might be laughing since they have achieved something seldom achieved on a Destructive Scale so large: A “Sleepless” Washington, D.C. which is spending $85 Billion Dollars a Year and achieving next to NOTHING.

The ONLY FINANCIAL WINNERS from this charade are the Defense Contractors and the Hundreds of Thousands of Career Employees in the “Intelligence” Business World-Wide. It is an Excellent “Make Work” Program.

Macau Makes $45 Billion (U.S.) Revenue in 2013

News Analysis: $45 Billion (U.S.) Revenue in 2013 was Macau’s Fortune. By eliminating the Long-Term Monopoly held by One Family, Investors came forward and poured Billions of Dollars into Macau’s Economy. “Capitalism Prevailed” many people say.

Other economies, such as Vladivostok, Russia, by opening up to Foreign Investors, may develop a substantial Gaming Economy for that area.

The KEY for Investors, to putting their Monies In a Country, are Assurances by the Highest Federal Authorities that they can take their Profits Out of that Country. Smart Government Leaders will make sure that the “Certainty Principle” is in full operation. That the Rate of Taxation is Low (being inversely commensurate with the Investors Higher Level of Capital Risk) is also VERY IMPORTANT.

If  a Country’s “Calling Card” to Investors is the aforementioned System, Foreign Direct Investment will be forthcoming.
