LICENSE TO STATEHOOD

PALESTINIAN SELF DETERMINATION THREAT

• Palestinians seem to try to alter history and mandates in order to claim self determination

• International media, in most cases seems bias when reporting the Palestine – Israeli confli

• In view of most fellow Arabs, Palestinians are notorious when it comes to land ownership for they    are never satisfied with what they have.

• A typical example for land claim was 1969 when ARAFAT attempted to over through king HUSSEIN of JORDAN in order to create a PALESTINE state on JORDANIAN soil.

WINNING THE “PR WAR” OVER ISRAEL

The PALESTINIANS, in past and presence have always managed to win the “PR war” over ISRAEL. They cleverly lured a vast majority of governments, politicians, intellectuals and mainstream public into believing that their claim for a souvenir state is legitimate and that ISRAEL is the evil power repressing them. Thus their proclaimed role of the “Victim” being victimized by ISRAEL has worked to their advantage.  If however one looks into history, one will see that their claim is out of context.

PAYING THE “VICTIM” GAME

Their “victim” role has progressed to such extend over the last couple of years that international media happily jump on the “PR” train when it comes to voice the PALESTINIAN view regarding the PALESTINIAN ISRAELI conflict which can hardly described as impartial journalism.

What no mains stream media ever reports are the opinion, citizens of other ARAB Nations, and tribes have of the PALESTINIANS. Ask for example SYRIAN, JORDANIAN or LEBANESE citizens,   and they will in most cases comment, that no Sunni ARAB tribe or nation really want PALESTINE Arabs in their country for PALESTINIAS are notorious when it comes to land ownership, for they never are satisfied with what they have. "Thus it’s better to let the ISRAELIS struggle with them instead of us." 

An Arab – Israeli citizen once mentioned that if you give the Palestinians the entire West banks they will sooner or later claim Tel Aviv and Haifa and then entire ISRAEL. Once that is accomplished, they will once again claim JORDAN, as ARAFAT did in 1969 when he attempted to overthrow King Hussein of JORDAN in order to create a PALESTINE state on JORDANIAN land.  

BIAS MEDIA 

Whatever action ISRAEL takes regarding Palestine’s, Palestinian PR machinery always manages to use it to their advantage in order to portray ISRAEL as the aggressor and evil force.  On the other hand Mainstream media hardly ever report that ISRAEL supplies GAZA and the West Banks with Water and Energy free of charge.

IMF ADVICE TO EUROPE

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

The IMF is recommending EUROPE the same measures that failed in ARGENTINA, which led to the subsequently defaulted of the country in 2002.

The IMF apparently ignores that this is not a financial, but a solvency crisis.  So what is the IMF’S true agenda?

Europe declares war on rating agencies

Rating agencies and the debt crisis

Reading the article at http://www.unisg.ch/UeberUns/HSGMediacorner/Aktuell/RssNews/Forschung-Lehre/2011/Juni/Ratingagenturen-Eurokrise-Studie-FGN-HSG-29Juni2011.aspx

(in English), confirms my previous analysis regarding US Rating Agencies, posted on this blog.

EUROPEAN UNION POLITICIANS INCREASINGLY OPPOSE INFLUENCE OF US RATING AGENCIES

US RATING AGENCIES EXTREMELY VULNERABLE TO THEIR “CLIENTS” – BE THEY CORPORATIONS OR COUNTRIES

Today’s European media reported what GEOPOLITICAL ANALYSIS AND MONITORING BLOG posted on 4^th of July, namely that US RATING AGENCIES are not impartial, their influences to powerful, and that it is time to create a EUROPEAN rating agency.  The fact that the USA still is AAA rated, despite being almost in the same boat as GREECE, show that they are extremely vulnerable to their "clients" - be they companies or countries. Thus impartial ratings and evaluations are almost impossible.

 LACK OF COSMOPOLITAN INSIGHT AND GEO POLITICAL KNOWLEDGE

Furthermore its seems that US Rating Agencies  lack cosmopolitan insight in order to understand different societies and display ignorance when it comes to consider multicultural behaviors. 

In the not too distant past for example US Rating agencies intended to downgrade AUSTRIA’S AAA rating, because of the countries bank involvement in EASTERN EUROPE, distorting the facts in order to pave the way for US investment. (AUSTRIA is one of the 12 richest countries in terms of GDP) After harm was done by spreading the new about downgrading, they corrected their evaluation.  

CALL FOR A EUROPEAN EQUIVALENT TO US RATING AGENCY - ON THE INCREASE

It is common knowledge that in the view of many minds, rating agencies are the secret cause of the financial crisis. Their profit - oriented behavior has harmed the markets and obscured the true risk. But state agencies are not the alternative. the dominance of AMERICAN rating agencies is destructive for EUROPE. Thus it is of vital importance to create EUROPEAN rating agencies, which should represent EUROPEAN interests, for US rating agencies hardly are genuine when it comes to represent foreign interests, other the those which benefit their own country. Such equilibrium would create more impartial ratings.

Increasingly EUROPEAN politicians voice their concern over US rating agencies "uncontrolled development" in which rating agencies assessments have greater importance and impacts then political parliamentary decisions. They also stated that it is important that EUROPE does not depend on those agencies that seem to determine over EUROPE.

THE UNLIMITED AND MANIPULATIVE POWER OF RATING AGENCIES

GREEK DOWNGRADING BY 

STANDARD & POOR’S, DESPITE EU FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE 

As mentioned in my previous blog, date 29 June 2011, USA rating agencies are far too influential, especially when it comes to US based agencies. Today STANDARD & POOR’S proved how they are manipulating the “FINANCIAL MONOPOLY GAME” and how the entire EUROPEAN UNION is hostage of these agencies who are jeopardizing the bailout plan for GREECE.

It seems as if RATING AGENCIES are treated like the Holy Grail. Everyone in EUROPE seems to adhere to their doctrines despite the fact that EU law inexplicably states that the EU can divert from these agencies, especially if there are doubts regarding their impartial evaluations.

Money makes the World go round …… and Politics

US COURT RULING ON ARGENTINE BOND DEFAULT

The Paris Club, USA Agriculture Companies, and International Financial Speculators “grab” onto ARGENTINA

• Foreign interests on Argentina are increasing for its natural resources and farmland.
• New York’s highest court insists that ARGENTINA has to keep on paying interest rates on some bonds even after they mature or investors demand their principal back earlier.
• US court ruling on ARGENTINE bond default and 101% annual interest rate payment allegedly influenced by THE PARIS CLUB and the IMF.
• Despite being band from International Financial Markets ARGENTINES economy is growing tremendously.
• The majority of large Agriculture Companies in ARGENTINA are from the USA and own vast pieces of fertile farmland, boosting their profits.
• In view of the agriculture commodity boom, WALL STREET Speculators and brokers as well as US Rating Agencies try to manipulate politics and lobbyists in order to gain influence in ARGENTINE and LATIN AMERINCAN economy.
• Being banned from International “Casino Financial Markets” does not necessarily have to mean it is bad for the country.

AFTER DEFAULTING IN 2002, ARGENTINA has turned its back on the IMF by paying off its debt with the fond in order to be able to free itself from restrictive terms, the IMF tired to impose on the country, in order to gain political as well as economic influence in the region.

USA COURT RULING ON ARGENTINE BOND DEFAULT – RULING INFLUENCED BY LOBBIES OF US AGRICULTURE COMPANIES, THE PARIS CLUB and IMF?

The PARIS CLUB originally formed in 1956 because of the PERONIST UNREST in ARGENTINA also stepped in during ARGENTINA’S 2002 default, and since then is negotiation ARGENTINA’S bond default.

Is it a coincident that suddenly the New York’s highest court, despite progress in negotiations between the PARIS CLUB and ARGENTINA, insists that ARGENTINA has to keep on paying interest rates on some bonds even after they mature or investors demand their principal back earlier? 

The USA court ruling also indicated that interest rates as high as 101% a year on defaulted ARGENTINA dept were not unreasonable given the countries need for capital and default history.

Could it be that this US court ruling is the response to a recent remark made by the ARGENTINE minister of economy, Amado BOUDOUs, emphasizing that ARGENTINA will not accept any deal with the PARIS CLUB which would harm its interest?  

Given the fact that the majority of foreign agriculture companies based in ARGENTINA are from the USA, with prominent names such as CARGILL, GENERAL MILLS, ADECOAGRO (George SOROS) to name but a few, which own vast amount of fertile farmland and who profit immensely from the current commodity boom, it becomes imminent that WALL STREET speculators, brokers and US RATING AGENCIES, closely related to THE PARIS CLUB and the IMF  try to protect and enlarge their interest in ARGENTINA by lobbing for a common cause.

See http://www.marketwatch.com/story/argentina-backs-bill-to-limit-foreign-land-owners-2011-04-27

Thus the comment, made by a Federal court in the USA comes as no surprise and one can assume that the PARIS CLUB and the IMF collaborate on this issue, thus threatening ARGENTINA with legal challenges if it tries to return to the international capital markets and refuse to “dance to their music”. The question is, is it really necessary for ARGENTINA to return to the International “CASINO Finance” markets? 

THINKING ”IN THE BOX” versus THINKING “OUT OF THE BOX”

Following traditional economic doctrine or in other words thinking “IN THE BOX”, economists and so-called financial experts will claim that there is no way a country will survive economically, if secluded from the international capital markets. Thinking however “OUTSIDE THE BOX”, in other words neglecting the doctrines laid upon us by the “WALL STREET establishment” one might come to the conclusion, that there is life and prosperity outside financial market doctrines. 

ARGENTINA’S economy, which is band from international financial markets, is currently growing at 7.5 %. (See http://www.indexmundi.com/argentina/gdp_real_growth_rate.html) Critics might argue that this is solely because of the agricultural commodity boom.

ARGENTINA will continue to grow economically because of its vast amount of farmland and water and natural resources which are necessary to feed an increasing global population.

THE FINANCIAL MONOPOLY GAME Part 2

Global Society Gamblers

The Paris Club and the IMF

RATING AGENCIES, THE FEDERAL RESERVE, THE PARIS CLUB, THE IMF, brokers and speculator, all are part of the “CASINO FINANCE” the world is currently suffering from.  

• Ignorance blinds and thus imposes a danger to those who neglect the signs of change on the eco political global landscape.
• THE PARIS CLUB and the IMF will sooner or later have to face reality and accept that BRIC nations and like it or not also SOUTH AMERICA are gaining geo –politic and economic power.
• Is it coincidental that the Paris Club and IMF are both closely connected, that the new head of the IMF is once again French?

TWO INSTITUTIONS ONE PURPOSE  

The PARIS CLUB and the IMF are closely connected and both entities have one objective, to lend money to mainly third world countries and countries with weak economies in order to dictate them their terms and conditions which in the long run favor the interest of those entities who formed these organizations in the first place.  

The PARS CLUB is formed of 19 of the world’s so called wealthiest nations, who naturally use their power to impose upon the lending countries their doctrines which in most cases turn such countries into even worst economical as well as political crises.

POLITICAL IGNORANCE AND CONSTANT UNDERESTIMATION OF BRIC (BRASIL, RUSSIA, INDIA AND CHINA) AS WELL AS SOUTH AMERICAN COUNTRIES WILL BACKFIRE ON THE USA AND EUROPE IN THE NOT TO DISTANT FUTURE

Viewing the world map displaying the PARIS CLUB member states in comparison to the current global economic shift it becomes evident that this model as well as the dominant USA and EUROPEAN presence in the PARIS CLUB and IMF is slowly but surely becoming obsolete. 

BRIC Nations (BRASIL, RUSSIA, INDIA and CHINA), other ASIAN countries and SOUTH AMERICA as well as countries such as TURKEY and to some extent the MIDDLE EASTERN countries are already surpassing the so called established first world economies. This is the reason, why the key players of the PARIS CLUB and the IMF clinch onto their power, regardless of the signs of time.   

  

THE IMF AND ITS TRUE OBJECTIVES   

One of the first rules the IMF cases imposes on lending countries is to reduce its budget on national health care and education, two of the main pillars in society which guarantee intellectual as well as economic growth in a country, but at the same time imposes a danger for the ruling class, for a educated and healthy society cannot be as easily manipulated as a uneducated. 

The IMF has created an immoral system of modern day colonialism with its structural Adjustment Policies (SAP) for the poor. The question is how long will emerging economies play along with the game?

The IMF serves wealthy countries and the “Casino Finance” Market of Wall Street, which deliberately caused the financial crisis.

Is it coincidental that the Paris Club and IMF are both closely connected, that the new head of the IMF is once again French? 

WIND OF CHANGE

If the IMF and the PARIS CLUB neglect the signs of the geo political and economic wind of change currently blowing across the globe, they will eventually be left alone with their ignorance overrun by emerging economies. EUROPE and the USA have reached their eco political zenith, only to be replaced by BRIC nations as well as ASIA and SOUTH AMERICA. Clinching onto power will only increase the downward spiral.

Let’s face it, economic growth in above mentioned countries and continents is evident and nothing can lead around this fact, so what does the IMF and their lobbyist do? Warn of the dangers of economic overheating.    

AS I SEE IT:  There are many controversial issues and conspiracy theories concerning the IMF and the PARIS CLUB, and not all their causes are of bad nature, but one has to consider the facts that countries such as ARGENTINA etc. who opposed the terms and conditions laid upon them by the IMF and the PARIS CLUB ended up being better off economically then those who adhered the IMF. Ironically the PARIS CLUB was formed in 1956 in order to help ARGENTINA to avert default during the PERONIST unrest.  Currently ARGENTINA is negating its debt repayment with PARIS CLUB.
