BANK RUNS, FUKISHIMA, IRAN AND OTHER SIGNS THE END IS NEAR

It has not been a good week for investors as the stock market has shown clear signs of manipulation, especially anyone who was dumb enough to spend their hard earned cash on Facebook stock. I, among other, felt the value was way overrated, especially as the advertising potential for any web page is near zero, due to the idiotic way of trying to make money of it. All the power goes to the advertisers who pay pennies for what should be big bucks through any other venue, not to mention the fact that any variation from the draconian rules will get let them off the hook for paying you. Ads should be done the old fashioned way with a flat rate to post their ads, as would be done in any magazine or newspaper, not the per click nonsense which makes no one anything and allows free advertising for the cheapskate advertisers. It is also telling that Facebook is asking people to click on their ads which why my ads got booted in the first place. Nice to see that if you're a big business, you can freely ignore the rules that the rest of us a supposed to be following.

Corporations like Morgan Stanley and Citadel got burned this week as Facebook stock tanked and should continue it's slide toward the more reasonable asking price of around $11. One hedge fund manager unwisely put $100 million into the stock and watched his portfolio nose dive. Idiot. The stock market has see sawed up and down so much that even the most hardened investors are starting to ask questions into market manipulation and Facebook is being investigated by the SEC. Good. Meanwhile, the stock market looks like the Himalayans today in low trading but going downward all the same.

Anyone buying stock this week should have their head examined as the Euro situation is becoming more and more volatile. Bank runs are occurring throughout Greece and Spain as the viability of the Euro as a stable currency is becoming less and less viable. If the Euro dies, the world economy will sink with it with a new Depression looming. We know our government is preparing for such an eventuality as the DHS is arming themselves to the teeth for what will probably be an angry and well armed public demanding the heads of those that caused this. The cost of Greece exiting the euro will be at least one trillion dollars, a sum guaranteed to send world markets crashing and possibly hyperinflation everywhere. The idea of a common currency with separate government was never going to work and now it's coming back to bite us all in the ass, a fact that the bankers are starting to come with grips with.

Word is being spread through closed circles that the Euro may indeed fail and individual nations should prepare for the worst. Most economists agree the austerity measures demanded on Greece as part of its 130 billion euros bailout will be impossible to deliver since they will drive the country deeper into recession and make debt even harder to cut. This was common knowledge way back when, but much like the Teatards, God forbid common sense wins out. Austerity measures will cripple an economy, not save it. So everytime some idiot Republican (cough Paul Ryan hack) starts talking about cutting our way to prosperity, hold up a copy of any newspaper from Greece and start throwing rotten tomatoes at them. There are lots of ways to fix the problems, like demanding corporations start paying their employees real wages and paying something in taxes. Incidentally, corporations pay a zero percent tax rate, not 35% (the highest in the world we are told which is bull) which is not helping anyone.

As all this occurs, comes word that the radiation from Fukishima is far worse than any government is telling is. The WHO of the UN recently sent out a report that everything is fine, nothing to worry about, radiation from food and air is at its lowest levels in years. Unfortunately, none of that is true as independent tests have shown high levels of radiation throughout the west coast and at lethal levels in places in Japan. Recent studies in Japan show a huge increase in cancer, leukemia and cardiovascular disease since July 2011. Here's a link

These graphs mirror what I have been saying which is if you are pregnant or have small children stay far, far away from places like Hawaii, Japan or the west coast of the US. I will continue to see if there are any new studies on death rates in this country. Japan's statistics show a troubling trend toward a huge death rate for a people already headed for extinction due to low birth rates and a trend toward a sexless society. A recent study said as many as 60% of young people in Japan have no interest in sex at all. That does not bode well for any society.

And yes, more bad news, as the talks between Iran and the rest of the world is failing apart as any idiot can see that, at this point, they are nothing more than stall tactics. Israel has told Iran and the US that any agreement not to attack before November is now off the table as Iran has done nothing to alleviate fears over a nuclear program. The talks are all but dead at this point and military actions seem to be much more likely (as I have said all along) sometime in the near future.

So pick a disaster: nuclear war, economic Armageddon and world wide radiation are all staring us in the face and no one is doing anything about it. The Mayans may be right after all that 2012 will be the downfall of mankind. I see little to think otherwise.
