Thanks Mitch. As Gerald Celente repeats, the world is heading towards Global Fascism--the merger of power by governments and the mega-corporations. This is the "New World Order." In my opinion, you have to understand the United Nations Agenda 21 to see how this is unfolding, not only globally, but in your own hometown. As Alan alluded to above, the NGO's are part of the mechanism. Good information and good blog. Thanks Mitch.

Many good, solid businesses plan for the long term, and economic sustainability is part of sound business planning. It almost sounds like you are on the side of the Green tyrants who want to strip property rights from citizens in the name of Gaia, who wish to terrorise citizens with endless legislation and power hungry beaurocrats, who wish to support expensive and hopeless "Green" schemes, who wish to deny developing countries cheap energy and who wish to strip away democratic rights such as the presumption of innocense. I do hope I am wrong. Love this blog. @eric: huh? Many good, solid businesses plan for the long term, and economic sustainability is part of sound business planning.

In this case the long term interest to sustain the planet, leave behind a good future, for future generations country and planet, are all opposed and OUTWEIGHED by the short term interest of living comfortaby for oneself and their kin. Of course sometimes even the long term interests mentioned oppose each other.... Bottom line, we're all in it together, and there ain't no-stopping this elevator going down /handbasket to hell / etc... Have a nice day...... :-) Simple game theory, where the equilibrium between opposing forces is met- directionality can be determined.

This non-sense must change now. It can only change when voters demand those changes. It sends a very wrong message to our politicians when voters "reinforce failure" by re-electing officials who do and say anything win elections, yet fail to deliver and play a pathetic blame game. I wrote Planet Ponzi to give voters that motivation! Thanks RW,

I call the movement I'd like to see: Public Money 4 Public Office. The idea would be that no candidtate can use any campaign money other than that alloted, not even his/her own money and every candidate recieves the same amounts. Perhaps they have to amass a certain number of signatures in order to qualify as a candidate. In any case we must make our political candidtates beholding to the voters (I know, what a ridiculous concept). Regardless of the cost, PM4PO would be the best investment we the people could possibly make in our country. To Mitch and those that think Democracy is a good idea,

You are confirming the merits of a journey I started in the early 1980s when a financial commentator and adviser Bob Beckman advised the readers of his book ‘The Down Wave’ to invest in Stripped Treasuries on a risk reward basis. His explanation of the magic of compound interest at the prevailing levels of interest were a revelation and though his timing on some matters was terrible, following his basic investment premiss has been very positive. Your book, like his, should be a life changer for many. Most importantly, like your self, Bob Beckman inspired readers to question everything and think differently. Read the book and like the blogs.

The way Mr Feierstein talks with apparent turgid research and life experience in hedge fund industry of Walstreet reminds me of progressives like Gore Vi Del. In response to Mr. Feiestein exposing the neo feudal system this very system as I understand it was deliberately put in place via "the father of communications" being the rise of PUBLIC RELATIONS INDUSTRY after WWI (using Creeal Commission tactics from WWI property confication now to be used in adveritisely to create feelings of "lack" so to speak. That is getting people to buy things not on need buy on manufactured desires via advertising ponzi schemes of varies degrees. The father of communications being EDWARD LOUISE BARNEYS and his hinch pin being spin-mister Walter Lipman. Walter Lipman being a 1940's national news commentator guiding the so called bewildered heard being the public mind and "cool-observer" Managerial Class to guide them). There is a splendin documentary on this entitled CENTRY OF THE SELF produced by Adam Curtis who chose economist/professor, I believe Doctor Schieff auther of SUPER CAPITALISTISM. Schieff has appeared on Opera Winfery when Opera had her regular pulic TV talk show. Opera achitype persona of being postive in one charactor vital since negativity without reaonable justification is destructive for constructive betterment of ourselfves and our affiliations.

In the UK our politicians do not represent the interests of voters. When government policy is for hire it's a "democorruptcy". Isn’t it time to stop using the word “democracy”?

Democratically elected politicians do not run anything. They are only presented to us by the elite who actually run this neo-feudal system so the serfs have a dialectic in which to engage toward the illusion of choice. Unelected technocratic "unity" governments comprised of BIS puppets are nothing more than showing us in plain view the tyranny we have been living under since the central banking cartel solidified control via imposition of its currency in 1914. Why do you think countries with unallied central banks have been fallying like dominoes over the last few years? The process is almost complete and if people don't wake up and stop the BIS and its central banking control mechanism our children are doomed to a brutal existence of serfdom under a system most won't ever understand.
