    'world wars' are so out of fashion, the undeclared, illegal invasions of countries are the new rage. That's why you're seeing a lot of 'nonparticipants' in the global crisis trying to develop nukes, like Iran. Iran knows that the powers that be want them to collapse financially, and having WMDs is a good insurance policy in case the US tries to invade them.

    Hope you don't need a mortgage on that bunker. I hear credit is a little tight but if everyone gets bunkers, it could stabilize land/house prices and help with the crisis right??

    Pretty good article. Cassano should be portrayed to the world for what he and his group did.

    I think when our $ becomes toilet paper that we can't buy any more oil, we will invade Venezuela in the name of "democracy and human rights"... :rolleyes:

    Obama and Congress have little to no actual power over the Fed. Come to think of it, what exactly is the Federal Reserve?

    What do you mean? There is more important news out there like Rihanna and Chris Brown's relationship. Don't you care about the real world? :rolleyes:

    Thats a long, but very informative read. It is a shame that the people who put us in this mess are not only getting away scott free, we're giving them a ride. This is the ultimate hustle and we're the johns being duped. Greed and corruption had a large part in the falls of Rome and other great powers. I'm hoping we will avoid that. If not.......well I'm not learning Mandarin.

    In the end, I agree with Deckard. VIVA SCOLA!!!

    Cassano doesn't think he did anything wrong
