The people interviewed don't get it....at all.....

The FED isn't going anywhere, those that understand the system know how to take advantage of it. Those that don't understand, don't know enough to even protest with a meaningful message or suggestion...

Bwahahaha. Russia Today is a wholly Kremlin funded propaganda 'news' enterprise aimed at English speakers.

But if you want to see some really biased Russian *journalism* take a gander at Pravda.ru. Makes Russia Today look like look like the BBC. Pravda is wildly entertaining, UFO's and all.

here is something you won't see (this is in the chinese chat board):
America is GONE
Time for everyone to dump the USD.
america is printing money so fast that within a short time their currency will nose dive.
Within a few years it's value will be decimated.
Within a few years they will no longer be regarded as the world's dominant financial power.
The country is basically bankrupt
Prepare for massive losses on U.S currency.
Prepare for huge inflation rates in the U.S
Prepare for exports to non U.S markets that have money.
Prepare for unprecedented civil unrest in America.
Prepare for a depression in America lasting 5 to 10 years.

We are seeing a shift in the power of world economies that will be talked about for decades.
China will cope with huge losses in it's holdings of the USD.
BUT
China will emerge as a huge global financial power.

Why?

America consumes
China produces

Thanks for the laugh of the day.

Oppressive bankers usually meet their fate at the end of a noose or barrel; it's only a matter of time. I'm sure there were enough people saying "this time it's different" each and every time. Remember what happened to the last group of elitists who were suspected of ripping off a nation financially? Let's just say the leader kind of went hog wild and eliminated anyone resembling the same race, along with the backing of many of the German citizens. (not endorsing his actions by far, just telling you objectively what may happen to these "gentlemen" at the Fed)

The Chinese tend to like to talk about how great they think they are and how America is going to collapse.

Ironically while they are busy wishing the death of the US the Chinese economy is collapsing.... China is sorta like the US before the depression, except that it isn't a democracy and can't deal with social unrest. Even a small financial crisis could cause the Chinese government to collapse.

Oh I don't know. The last time such a thing happened, they herded them into a square and bulldozed them. It seemed to be effective. In the US, they sit them down on the couch and drug them with TV. It seems to be effective.

For as long as globalization remains the dominant trend, we all increasingly dependent on one another and we are all becoming mediocre within a narrowing range, for better and for worse.

there can be no argument that the shift towards globalization, the way it has been directed, has reduced the quality of living for americans, while boosting the quality of other countries.
