World Markets Dive Amid U.S. Economy FearsPosted on Jan 21, 2008
Stock markets across the world Monday suffered the worst losses since Sept. 11, 2001. The drop prompted analysts to theorize that investors have major doubts about the ability of the proposed stimulus package to mend the American economy. U.S. markets were spared by the Martin Luther King holiday.

Talk about “a surge” on the stock markets! Losing 15 per minute on opening in countries around the world - several $$billion per minute each, that is. Somme have lost 20% of their value or more in the past couple of months.
Is this really all about anxieties to do with the US economy and international banks’ exposure to the US sub-prime mortgage market, though? Goes to show just how pervasive the false euphoria and resultant bad financial management has really been for some time everywhere.
Tomorrow’s US Wall Street, closed today, will most probably go down another 5% to adjust to the futures markets. Then what???
Well, I said that the US military always comes to the rescue - with another fuckin’ war!!! Try this delusional hysterics timed just right!!!:-
The west must be ready to resort to a pre-emptive nuclear attack to try to halt the “imminent” spread of nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction, according to a radical manifesto for a new Nato by five of the west’s most senior military officers and strategists.
Calling for root-and-branch reform of Nato and a new pact drawing the US, Nato and the European Union together in a “grand strategy” to tackle the challenges of an increasingly brutal world, the former armed forces chiefs from the US, Britain, Germany, France and the Netherlands insist that a “first strike” nuclear option remains an “indispensable instrument” since there is “simply no realistic prospect of a nuclear-free world”. http://www.guardian.co.uk/nato/story/0,,2244782,00.html
Thus “the challenges of an increasingly brutal world” is the new double-talk aimed at instantaneously distracting the 2-legged sheep if another Pearl Harbor-like event can’t be fortuitously stage-managed. The usual howling from that white house will begin any time now, uhh!!! Too bad that the real brutality is all in the USA’s own financial mismanagement.....
