Asalaam alikum,

I hope you are still in power; this is what I would advice you while you are still in power. Don’t turn off the Internet like I did, that was a very bad and costly mistake since they silly youth didn’t have anything to do therefore they went out to protest. Let then have their stupide Facebook and twitter. Get your money out of the Swiss bank since once you step down they will freeze your asset. I didn’t think they would do that to me, try not to kill a lot of people since they may come after you when your bullets are over.

You are defending spending C$9310 million on security at the G-20 Summit, but as you may have heard and seen on TV, there was wide unrest in the city of Toronto. What it seems to me is that the security was for the delegates and not the citizens of Toronto. My ex-grandmother-in-law’s shop sustained heavy damage from demonstrators. I understand that the demonstrators didn’t breach the green zone around the financial district. Why was the security around my ex-grandma-in-law shop breached?

But if you wanted to go another route you would have rented the original QM2 at have that price…just between you and I double check the resume of your financial advisor.

WHY AMERICA HAS THE BEST TREATMENT FACILITIES

The question has always been asked why is that America has the best treatment facilities in the world, e.g. cancer treatments and the like? Well, the answer is very simple when the preventive sux and cause is the buried then one is bound to have the best of the latter. The best analogy is this, during the cold war era (and up to now ) the Soviets were said to make the best ejection seats….and why is that?, Because they couldn’t make good fighter planes. All this is because of miss placed and miss allocation of resources, another good example comes from Russia, they make among the best tanks in the world but they can’t produce a good quality car they are still making the boxy lada.

H1N1 or is it Hone None?

“Typically, it takes three years or so for the human cases to take off. But in Colorado, for example, the cases skyrocketed in just one year, from 14 cases in 2002 to 2,947 in 2003. In Idaho, the cases jumped from 13 in 2005 to 996 last year — only the third year after its first case. And California went from one case in 2002 to 779 in 2004.”

“The mosquito-borne virus has infected 2,000 people in 32 states so far this year and killed 98. Particularly worrisome are recent discoveries that West Nile apparently can be spread through blood transfusions if someone donates blood shortly after becoming infected, and that it occasionally causes a polio-like paralysis.” -2005 The Associated Press

“Sen. Patrick Leahy called on the government to examine whether terrorism is involved in a West Nile outbreak that has killed 54 people this year. According to the CDC, nationally, 1,295 people have contracted the disease and 54 have died.
Leahy's office also released excerpts Thursday from previous news and congressional committee reports saying officials had downplayed the fear that the spread of West Nile virus might be the work of bioterrorists”. –Foxnews 2002

These are the news quotes of yesteryears and I have not quoted SARS and Bird Flu. Every one or two years there seems to appear a disease that is like to cause a great deal of damage but it never seems to pan out. This year the big thing is H1N1 people are been told to take the vaccine and pay it, this is becoming a cash cow for the pharmaceutical industry, between patents running out and new once coming online they need to make money and the way they do it is by giving people a little vaccine that they don’t need or require, but that is not easy therefore one has to create some hype and hence all the stories in the news of now how many people could die if they don’t take the vaccine for a small convenient fee of just $25.00 and that does not include the normal flu vaccine. All of which are going to billed to the insurance company at a premium and we the stupid people will pay for it. So there you go don’t lose sleep over the H1N1 for next year you will be losing sleep of H2N2 and they year after that H3N3.

Too Big To Fail
In 1890 Congress passed the Sherman Antitrust Act which is the source of all American anti-monopoly laws. With the law the US Supreme Court in 1911 broke up one of the largest monopoly that had ever existed until then The Standard Oil Company. Some of the practices that the company was engaged in were similar to what we are seeing today with large financial institutions. When a company becomes too big to fail and has to be bailed out by the tax payers that it is screwing in terms of high taxes disguised as fees then the congress has the mandate to pass a law just like the Sherman Antitrust Act to break up the institutions or at least limit them to size which are not too big to fail.




This was a cartoon of Teddy Roosevelt as an infant Hercules and the Serpent Standard Oil. Is it possible to have Obama as an infant Hercules and the Serpent Financial Institution (Too Big to Fail)?

How did we get here

So how do six million Jews get killed and no one notices until after the fact? How is it that people have so much hatred to crush two planes into buildings and one in a farmland? It doesn’t just start overnight it is a progression of events which are dismissed as just a few bad apples. Let’s start with the six million Jews that were killed during WWII, it all start with Hitler blaming them for the economic situation of Germany at the time, one has to remember that Germany had lost WWI and they were paying reparations for the war which would be equivalent to higher taxes. Hitler comes to power and blames the Jews for the down fall of the country and its then current state. There are three people that are key to this plot Heinrich Himmler, Josef Goebbels and Herman Goring. These are the people who are in-charge of the propaganda messages that the Jews are to blame. It all starts slowly and been “innocent” and by the time it’s all over six million Jews are dead and even the people who lived right next to the concentration camps had no idea what was going on in them. Some were fight for ideology that they didn’t understand or care to.

Fast forward 50yrs later and one has almost the same thing. When al-Qaeda preaches hatred towards the West most Muslims don’t speak out arguing “am not like that, those are just a few bad apples”. And again the message(of hatred) is passed on by three people Osama bin Laden, Atiyah Abd al-Rahman and Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. Finally on September 11 the results are deadly, over four thousand people die and the world changes as we knew it. Those events are followed by Madrid then London and all the while Muslims don’t condemn the action openly but covertly “those are not my views, they are the view of a small minority, now we know what the views of a small minority can do if not arrest early on, we the general public will suffer. Now we can’t even get on a plane with a coke or coffee and what we are given on that plane is rationed as if we are living in a planned economy or it was medicine. Just a quick question to the Muslims; why is it that when there is a terror plot or suspicion of one there is always a Muslim associated with it?

Fast forward 58yrs later and we have the same pattern developing, only that this time it’s in America and the rightwing part of the Republican party are flaming the flames of hatred. And once again we have three characters at the center of it, namely Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck and what’s his name?....Oh yeah the Sean. Everything that is wrong with the government is been turned to racism and the moderate part of the Republican party is not condemning the views just like the Muslims who were saying “am not like that, those are just a few bad apples” or just like the Germans who were not happy with the Jews, they are becoming a silent minority majority in the Republican party. How long can this going on? I have no answer to that but based on history if we have another shock in the markets or someone gets fired from his job and decides to avoid the legal system to air out his view this country will descend down a spiral that I would even want to contemplate.

Remember WWI was started with the death of one public figure which in turn lead to WWII.

Public Option

The reason why the Obama administration will have the public option in the final Health Bill is very simple, they have played there cards very well and it is ingenious. Max Baucus came out with a bill that had so much of what the Republicans wanted and none, even the 3 Republicans in the gang of 6 supported it. What this means to the Obama administration, the Democrats and country at large is that no matter what they (the administration) do on the health bill(or any other matter) the Republicans will in the end say no, in other words there are not negotiating in good faith (assuming they have faith). The only way for the Obama administration is to force feed the bill and have it voted and once it is in place and people start using the insurance and they get hooked on it it will be hard if not impossible to kill it.

So here is the low down there will be a health bill and it will have a PUBLIC OPTION and it will cost over $900 billion….as to say screw you Republicans we are outta here.

America the land of monopolies.

There are so many monopolies but they are camouflaged very well that to the naked eye one can’t see them. Take for example the phone industry why is that one hates ATT but can only get an iphone from them? On the other hand why is it that one hates sprite but can only get Pre from them? This is monopoly which now the regulators are pretending to be looking into, where were they when the deals were made?...in the pockets of the companies. For the average American iphone and Pre (palm) are the best thing since sliced bread, but go to Japan where there is competition….American would be surprised to hear no one wants to buy iphone because the phone there are much much better than America’s best they can buy stuff and pay for train rides.

Banking industry
Another monopoly, wal-mart wants to open a banking arm to its chain of stores but even it has hit a brick wall with the lobbing group of banking industry here in American. If I were to put my money somewhere I would rather put it with Bank of Wal-mart since, if the bank were to go under at least they would pay me with the things I need from the store, groceries as unemployment. FDIC would have less to worry about since they could sell a few wal-marts and get their consumers’ money back. In other countries e.g. Mexico Wal-mart has banking services which is competing with Elekta a Mexican retailer of everything from computers to cars and everything in between. Tesco the UK grocery store is floating around with the idea, Migros, a grocery store, has had a banking arm in Switzerland since 1958. Wow!!! What a monopoly we have here in America, no wonder the banks charge whatever interest they want on credit cards.

Don’t late me get started with the car industry…monopolies don’t last for ever GM anyone?

The New World of GM
GM should not be afraid of Bankruptcy as a matter of fact they should embrace it since it would cut them so much slack. They should start thinking of making the new electric cars namely high speed rail cars they should start competing with France, Germany and Japans high speed rail car builders rather than stick to a failed model and protecting suppliers. American Car Makers, lets just face it, the Japanese have kicked our asses in making cars that the masses like, love and are efficient on gas. GM would hire more people and get more money from the stimulus money. GM!!! wake up smell the coffee and look at the new economy which is reducing the dependency on oil by embracing high speed rail.

The executive pay at AIG, Merrill Lynch and other companies around the world in places such as TeliaSonera in Sweden and Valeo in France makes no sense at all. Executive have got paid well even as the companies they ran were running to the tax payers for help have got me wondering. In the hay days we didn’t mind that much of these payments to executives since we assumed they were been paid for the “good” job they did (so we thought) making profits for the companies. No public outrage was shown and if it was, it was kept at a minimum. Now the problem comes when they are losing money, I don’t buy even at a discount any of that contracts BS. How can a contract be written to the effect that there is no downside to whatever one does? If the is the case everyone should get a college degree with his/her acceptance letter in the mail and after four year a frame and a minor degree in another major. Once in college they should attend the classes they want, drink as much as they want, forget the repercussion, the “contract” degree is at home and you are waiting for the frame and the minor degree after four years. Oh yeah if you drink too much and you get caught by the campus police and they threaten to lock you up just request an early delivery of you frame and you can leave and head to another college. The only other person that gets paid even if he/she is wrong is the weatherman who by the way said that today was going to be sunny, but it is raining like hell. And I love it when they say “we have a 20% chance of rain or 75% or even 60%” but when they say “we have a 50% chance of rain” I have no idea what the means…it might rain or it might not rain? you pick.

When these companies made money they got rewarded but when they fail to make money they should be punished. Please don’t give me that rubbish that they need bonuses to perform, if that were the case then these are not the right people to do that kind of work. People should work because they love what they do and the bonuses should be extra icing on the cake. Take pilots for example, they do it because they love it and they do due diligence with a check list to make sure all they systems are working right.

Moral Hazard caused Global Imbalance thus leading to current Financial Crisis.

It is said that science is cumulative while business is cyclic. In other words the current financial crisis will happen again if capitalism doesn’t reinvent itself. The level of inequality in the current system is outrageous and the reason people haven’t noticed is because they are too busy working trying to pay for this inequality.

Take the case of “sir” Allen Stanford’s web of company that was doing billions of dollars of business, the bank’s assets had burgeoned from $1bn in 2000 to more than $8bn at the end of 2008. “sir” Allen had faced regulatory scrutiny before it all came falling. Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (Finra) had fined the Stanford Group a total of $70,000 in April 2007 for failing to adequately state the risks involved in the CD investments and to disclose that an affiliation between the broker-dealer and the bank could pose a conflict of interest. Stanford consented to the sanctions without admitting or denying wrongdoing (whatever that means), according to a file on Finra website. Assuming that in 2007 Stanford Group made $7bn and was fined just $70,000, that’s not even the cost of doing business. This form of punishment doesn’t deter a repeat of the same. Assuming someone is making $50,000 per year and has a speeding ticket he or she would have to pay 0.70 cent at this rate. That would not be a sufficient reason to deter the driver from speeding again. This is not akin to moral hazard but moral hazard in blight yellow colors. The only part that has tried to address moral hazard a bit is the tax code which is calculated in terms of a percentage. But the rich (e.g. Tim Geithner’s more than $34,000 tax bill, forget Tom Daschle) are able to circumvent this process with the help of offshore banking and tax attorneys there by leaving the poor citizens who can’t play this game since the taxes are withheld by the government. In order to address this moral hazard all fines should be paid as a percentage of one’s income.

If a company (or a person) is to be fined for any violation they should be fined as a percentage of their income. Thus a speeding ticket shouldn’t be a flat $100(an example) for a person making a quarter of a million dollars or one making $50,000 or minimum wage.
This global rate of high inequality and tax evasion has left the government with little income to depend on. The rich are getting richer (I have nothing against that) but they are evading tax thereby leaving the baggage to the poor who are getting poorer thus falling income hence falling taxes, but they are enjoying the protection if the government as citizens.
