Greece: Holders of government bonds have agreed to accept a write-off of $124.7 billion as a last-ditch measure to avoid an official default in the scheduled repayment, which is due on March 20. [Those who trusted the government to make good on its debt have paid dearly (they lost 70% of their investment) for their naiveté.

US: Six of Mitt Romney’s relatives are actively campaigning for Ron Paul. InfoWars 2012 Mar 6 (Cached)
US: Companies that received billions of taxpayers’ dollars from the Obama Administration to create American jobs and ‘green’ technology have failed to meet expectations. [They have spent most of their money, have produced nothing practical, and have paid executive bonuses. Here is a hard look at two of them, which are producing electric cars for the super-rich. One company assembles its cars in Finland. So much for American jobs.] ABC News 2012 March 6

Virginia’s state legislature last week overwhelmingly passed a bill to reject the federal NDAA indefinite detention law, but the Senate changed the bill slightly, so now it must go back to the House for another vote.

Australia: New legislation allows children of any age, without parental consent, to be sterilized if a psychiatrist says they are mature enough to make such a decision. Also, 12 year-olds may elect psychosurgery and electroshock. [Since the psychiatric profession is rampant with corruption, fraud, and scientific ineptitude, putting psychiatrists in charge of such important decisions is insanity itself.]NaturalSociety 2012 Mar 5 (Cached)
BP Stock rises on word that it has agreed to an out-of-court settlement of $7.8 billion to individuals and businesses for damages from the Gulf oil spill. [Why would investors view that as good for BP? Because, if the company had not settled and had to go to court, it is likely that the facts brought out in trial would have led to far greater damages. Out-of-court settlement has saved the company untold billions of dollars.]

AIG is selling $6 billion in shares of an Asian insurance company to go toward repayment of $182 billion in bailout it received from the US government (taxpayers). [The article says there is an institutional buyer but it was not identified. Perhaps the reason is that further questions might uncover the fact that the US government has guaranteed that the buyer will make a profit (at taxpayers’ expense) even if the stock never pays a dividend. That’s not as far-fetched as it may seem. Previous sales by other bailout recipients have been based on similar scams. We’ll be watching this closely.] SFGate 2012 Mar 5 (Cached)
The US will pay over $5 trillion in interest on its debt over the next 10 years. More than 14% of all revenue the government collects will be used just for that. [Note there is no serious effort to pay down the principle, just the interest. Therefore, the debt will continue to grow until the interest approaches 100% of revenue; but long before that, the whole system will collapse. It will not be pretty.] CNN Money 2012 Mar 5 (Cached)
Mozilla/Firefox turns the tables on Big Brother by allowing Internet users to watch who is spying on them. This is a blow against Google’s policy of selling data showing what search-words people use and what sites they visit.

ANALYSIS
Reports and commentaries that look beyond the news to identify historical facts and trends that must be understood to place the news into perspective. This is our “think-tank” section that makes it possible to anticipate future events.
US: Recent Supreme Court decisions have given the federal government control over manufacturing throughout the country. The states, however, still have the power to hold companies liable for damages caused by their products. [Although states cannot ban the manufacture or sale of products, such as GMO seeds or pesticides with Dioxin, they can make the executives of the companies liable for the damage their products do. In that event, companies would cease to distribute such products within those states.]NaturalSociety 2012 Mar 6 (Cached)
Oxford University shreds US Attorney General Eric Holder’s claim that the US government is justified in assassinating US citizens if the President says they are enemies of the state. Practical Ethics 2012 Mar 6 (Cached)
Here is a review of the history of fraud committed by man-made global-warming alarmists, with focus on how “peer review” has been subverted into a mechanism to squelch true science. [If there are 3 journals that publish scientific papers on climate, make sure the editorial staffs of those journals are dominated by global-warming advocates. Papers from dissenting authors will be rejected and, hence, not peer reviewed. Very simple.] YouTube posted 2012 Mar 5
‘Global finance: The Shylock model’ – This analysis by Adrian Salbuchi explains why bankers and the IMF have loaned money to countries, never expecting repayment of the funds. [The objective is to ‘take a pound of flesh’ and obtain real resources in exchange for fiat currency (which they create out of nothing). In other words, something for nothing. Very simple!] RT 2012 Mar 1 (Cached)
