The timing of such a video being released is suspicious considering the prospect of bank failures and an inflationary collapse of the U.S. monetary system loom large. The U.S. Dollar is at all- time lows and many top economists are predicting that we are entering a very deep recession if not a depression. Although the video focuses in on a potential disaster like a terrorist attack or a weather related event, a financial disaster easily fits into the scope of this video. The focus of the video is on how the Federal Reserve can immediately bring cash back into an area affected by a disaster. During a financial calamity, this will be a key concern because physical forms of money will reign supreme. Runs on the banks occurred frequently at the start of the Great Depression and they could happen here on a frequent basis if things get worse. The Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke even made the prediction that we could soon see bank failures, so this is a concern not just coming from various economists and pundits but also from the top of this criminal banking system. - Thurs, Mar 13 2008 3:07 am http://groups.google.com/group/newslog/t/5c83da44a8de3f6d?hl=en New Proposals To Fight Global Warming Would End Civilization, Kill Billions ----- New Proposals To Fight Global Warming Would End Civilization, Kill Billions Washington Post pushes Carnegie document that encourages near-zero carbon output within decades Paul Joseph Watson Prison Planet Monday, March 10, 2008 The establishment press is affording sober gravitas to a Carnegie Institution report that calls for carbon emissions to be reduced to near zero in order to combat global warming, without mentioning the fact that such a move would return man to the stone age if not end civilization as we know it and kill billions. - Thurs, Mar 13 2008 3:07 am http://groups.google.com/group/newslog/t/7c76e9994ec5e2e3?hl=en Fed's answer: you & I bail out the banks --------------------- March 12, 2008 Fed Hopes to Ease Strain on Economic Activity By EDMUND L.

Moment on Iran --- It's the "Oh Shit!" Moment on Iran Wed, 12 Mar 2008 08:06:00 by Dave Lindorff (This Can't Be Happening) -- Every horror movie has that "Oh Shit!" moment, when the hero or heroes are huddled in some creepy hideout, and suddenly something happens that tells you that the monster is just around the corner, or just about to attack. In "Jurassic Park" it was the pulsing ripples in a cup of water, heralding the arrival of a T-Rex. In "Jaws" it was the deep base music, letting you know that a monstrous shark was about to attack. - Thurs, Mar 13 2008 3:07 am http://groups.google.com/group/newslog/t/17154bafb1708958?hl=en New York: Sptizer forced out over trivial offense --- March 13, 2008 Spitzer Resigns in Sex Scandal and Turns His Attention to Healing His Family By DAVID KOCIENIEWSKI and DANNY HAKIM Gov.
