UN votes to back military action against Libya. Air strikes could come from France & the UK, with US jets joining in later. The UN resolution includes freezing the assets of the Libyan National Oil Company and the central bank. [No one likes Gadaffi, but the UN is supposed to be a peace-keeping organization, not a war-launching one. The UN charter forbids “intervening in the internal affairs” of countries. Ha!

Japanese yen had risen to historic highs just before the trio of tragedies last Friday. Now the picture has changed. The G-7 (group of seven industrialized countries) promises to ‘support’ Japan’s recovery by intervening in the currency markets. Japan’s central bank has pumped $470 billion of newly created money into the system to stimulate borrowing for reconstruction. [It is difficult to understand news like this because the words are deceptive. When G7 says it will ‘support’ Japan, that means it will not retaliate when Japan pushes down the value of its money. Japan will deliberately create massive inflation by drastically expanding the money supply, and this will drive down the value of the Yen in currency markets. The Japanese government likes that because it makes their exports cheaper to other countries. That boosts their export sales, but only at the expense of the Japanese people who then are crushed by inflation. Governments and corporations don’t care about that as long as sales are good.] Yahoo 2011 Mar 18 (Cached)

Within 24 hours of the quake in Japan, Grist magazine exploited the tragedy by implying that global warming was to blame.

This is encouraging because, only a year ago, most people would have accepted the propaganda as truth. The public is awakening.] Grist Posted 2011 Mar 12 (Cached)

THE SHREDDER
A young engineer was leaving the office at 5:45 p.m. when he found the CEO standing in front of a shredder with a piece of paper in his hand. “Listen,” said the CEO, “this is a very sensitive and important
document, and my secretary is not here. Can you make this thing work?”
“Certainly,” said the young engineer. He turned on the machine, inserted the paper, and pressed the start button. “Excellent, excellent!” said the CEO as his paper disappeared inside the machine, “I just need one copy.”
Lesson: Never, ever assume that your boss knows what he’s doing.
