Talkin’ ‘bout our generations
 
 
 
 

Have you noticed how some suburbs or regions seem to be overly filled with retirees, families or hip young urban professionals? Well, you’re not ‘seeing things’; a new report released this week by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) shows that different generations do congregate in specific areas around the country.

Why French Kids Don't Have ADHD
 
 
 
 

This author makes some very salient points on the effect of lack of discipline, artificial colours and flavours and "drug mentality" on the over diagnosis of ADHD and the resulting destruction of the psyche through medication in the USA versus France.

Neither the liberal nor the labor party are protecting our environment, our future, our national interests or our individual rights. Even the nationals are prepared to destroy farm land to mine coal. And the greens are in bed with those who would like to see 95% of us dead! Look for an independent candidate or someone like the CEC who espouse some sanity and not a continual parade of lies.

Made-up identities assigned to fake e-mail addresses. Real identities stolen for fraudulent reviews. Study authors who write glowing reviews of their own research, then pass them off as an independent report.

But of course we need to trust the medical profession and ignore direct observation and personal experience because those are "not scientific".

HPV Vaccine Injury
 
 
 

I rarely use "Everyone". Especially in relation to something to do as we are all different. This is vital data for every parent to watch. Everyone needs to research for themselves the pros and cons of vaccines. DO NOT just take for granted that your doctor knows best. Often they do not. "Death by Doctor" is one of the top 5 causes of death in the USA at present. And if mandatory vaccination becomes the norm, that statistic will only worsen.

Phase II of the global financial crisis underway
 
 
 
 

Nothing was solved after 2008; bail-outs just put off an even bigger explosion… until now.

The turmoil hitting stock markets around the world this week is more than a “correction”. There are many alarming signs in the global economy, similar to 2007, which point to pre-conditions for a major crash, the next, more destructive phase of the ongoing global financial crisis. And, contrary to the theme in the media, the problem isn’t in China—it’s in the West, including Australia.

The headline of the 16 August London Telegraph blared, “The doomsday clock for a global crash strikes one minute to midnight as central banks lose control.” Possible future shadow UK Chancellor of the Exchequer, John McDonnell, a close associate of UK Labour Party leadership front-runner Jeremy Corbyn, noted in The Guardian of 12 August: “They [our opponents] fail to understand that the unregulated, law-of-the-jungle market system they advocate is inherently crisis-ridden. Unless we act on these fundamental flaws we really do doom the next and future generations to further inevitable crises. In fact all the factors that caused the 2007-8 crisis are currently reappearing on the scene—frozen or low incomes, low productivity, asset inflation especially in housing, a hands-off government turning a blind eye to loose credit expansion and City speculation, and a growing debt bubble. Just like 2007 all it needs is a spark like Northern Rock [the 2007 “run” on the Northern Rock bank] to set things off again…” (Emphasis added.)

Alarming signs that another crash is imminent include:

Major stock markets in New York, London and China have been in the grip of the same disconnected euphoria that preceded previous major crashes: the current period of increase in the London stock exchange index matches only the periods immediately before the 1929 crash and the 2000 dot.com crash; the Price-Earnings (PE) ratio on US stocks has only been higher before the crashes of 1929, 2000 and 2007; China’s stock market almost tripled in one year, by any measure a speculative bubble that was always going to burst (ironically, as China’s actual economy is very productive and its stock market is a much smaller sector of its financial system than those in the West, its current slide is doing more damage outside of China than inside China).

The Libor (London Interbank Offered Rate), the world’s benchmark interest rate, has risen significantly this year, reflecting a sharp rise in risk in inter-bank lending; the Libor soared in 2008, when banks stopped lending to each other, causing a liquidity “freeze”—the core problem of the GFC.

World shipping rates have plunged 60 per cent in the past three weeks, 27 per cent in the past week alone, to US$467/TEU (“twenty-foot equivalent unit”, i.e. the volume of one small shipping container) on the Shanghai Containerised Shipping Index; about $800-$1,000/TEU is a profitable level. This is a sure sign of real crisis in the globalised economy. Just before the crash of September 2008, the London shipping index called the Baltic Dry Index plunged 90 per cent in three months, as world shipping ground to a halt, and so many freighters were moored in ports such as Singapore that they resembled crowded car parks.

Commodity prices are in an accelerated collapse; West Texas crude oil is below US$39/barrel. Bloomberg’s Commodity Price Index of 22 commodities is falling at 2-3 per cent/week, according to Bloomberg News on 24 Aug., and is now at 1998 crisis levels. That index has dropped by 51 per cent since the end of 2013 as economic growth disappeared in the trans-Atlantic, then in Russia and Brazil; but the drop is clearly accelerating in recent months. It was the trigger in this same period in 2008 for the bank blowout of that September.

The property bubbles in Australia and the UK are stretched to bursting, which will trigger carnage in the banking sectors of both economies. Outside of Sydney and Melbourne the bubble has already started bursting on the back of the commodity price collapse, so the banks are throwing everything they can into continuously inflating the Sydney and Melbourne markets, but the cracks are starting to show. A comparison of the meteoric profit growth of Australia’s Big Four banks with the pedestrian growth of the overall Australian economy (see graph) shows a complete disconnect between the banks and the economy, and underlines how much the banks are dependent upon their speculation in the property bubble, and the derivatives gambling that is associated with that.

Solution

The talking heads that have been on television in the last few days assuring people that this market turmoil is merely a “correction”, and that the “fundamentals are sound”, are either unqualified incompetents, or lying, including to themselves. They all said the same thing in 2007-08.

It is urgent that governments adopt policies based on this crash being a reality, and which boost the strength of the underlying real economy, rather than seek to prop up the fake and inflated values of the derivatives and other speculative assets of the failed financial system, as they did through the bank bail-outs in 2008.

The good news is that the policies that are needed to address this crisis right now are the subject of fierce debate in the US Presidential election, the UK Labour Party leadership election, and here in Australia:

A full Glass-Steagall separation of banking that services the real economy, from the speculative investment banking that caused the crisis, which is prominently championed by US Democratic Party presidential pre-candidates Bernie Sanders and Martin O’Malley, and UK Labour Party leadership front-runner Jeremy Corbyn;

A national banking system, with which governments can “re-capitalise” their national economies, using their own public banks that have the power to create credit for investment in the infrastructure and industries that the economy needs to grow and prosper; Jeremy Corbyn is committed to using this system, which he calls “People’s Quantitative Easing”, to fund a national investment program for the UK, and the CEC has long championed a national bank for Australia, modelled on the original Commonwealth Bank.

Now is not the time for denial; nor is it time for panic. It is time for these clear-headed solutions that are based on the principle that the welfare of the people, not banks, is the priority of governments. To fight for that principle, join with the CEC.

Until next time,
dream big dreams,
plan out how to achieve them,
be continually executing your plans,
enlist people to your causes,
travel and/or read widely, preferably both,
all the while observing what you observe
rather than thinking what you are told to think,
think well of your fellow man,
take time to help your fellow man,
he sorely needs it and it will help you too,
eat food that is good for your body,
exercise your body,
take time to destress,
and do the important things
that make a difference -
they are rarely the urgent ones!
