About Those US Jobs

Q: You recently testified before Congress in an antitrust hearing about Google. What are your reflections on the experience? Were the leaders there asking the right questions?

Eric Schmidt: So we get hauled in front of the Congress for developing a product that's free, that serves a billion people. Okay? I mean, I don't know how to say it any clearer. I mean, it's fine. It's their job. But it's not like we raised prices. We could lower prices from free to… lower than free? You see what I'm saying?

Some may be surprised to learn that while Portugal, and Greece, are quite bad, at 30.7% and 46.6% respectively, it is Spain where the youth unemployment pain is most acute: at 51.4%, more than half of the youth eligible for work does not have a job!

No More Tinfoil Hats

http://resourceclips.com/2012/01/23/no-more-tinfoil-hats/

“Our credibility has really surged, because we know what’s happening and why.” Powell adds, “My sense is that most people seriously involved in the gold market either know that central banks are interfering surreptitiously or have strong suspicions that they are. We’re not considered men from Mars anymore, tinfoil-hat wearers. As we’ve seen from essays in the Financial Times and the Wall Street Journal and other publications, ‘financial repression’ is now a commonly used phrase. It means central banks intervening in markets. I don’t think it’s been used explicitly in connection with the gold market yet, but I consider this a very big step in the perception of GATA’s position.”

Murphy cites chapter and verse regarding the media repression of GATA. “I was on CNBC in February 1999, and I’ve been banned ever since,” he says. Powell then points out this ban does not extend across the Atlantic, “You have been on CNBC Europe since then.” Murphy then expresses astonishment at the continuing mainstream media freeze-out in America. “No one has been more right on the gold market than us, and no one has explained it better. We’ve had four international conferences, including a sold-out conference last year at the Savoy Hotel in London. We’ve had whistleblower events, and Reuters and Bloomberg were there, and they wouldn’t even mention our name.”

Thomas statement on White House absence

http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=613279

Bruins goaltender Tim Thomas released the following statement Monday evening regarding his absence from the Bruins' visit to the White House this afternoon:

"I believe the Federal government has grown out of control, threatening the Rights, Liberties, and Property of the People.

This is being done at the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial level. This is in direct opposition to the Constitution and the Founding Fathers vision for the Federal government.

Because I believe this, today I exercised my right as a Free Citizen, and did not visit the White House. This was not about politics or party, as in my opinion both parties are responsible for the situation we are in as a country. This was about a choice I had to make as an INDIVIDUAL.

This is the only public statement I will be making on this topic. TT"

World Bank fears Europe's crisis could set off deeper global slump than Lehman collapse

When the World Bank starts scare-mongering before the Davos World Economic Forum, expect more QE.  That's just another natural law of human hubris and stupidity.
