    What a disaster we are in. Every major nation of Europe is in trouble. The U.S. is the cause of most of our problems. Kick the Yankie doodlers out and cut off negotiations.

    If you take into consideration all the debt the U.S. has, it might make the U.S. the number 1 position on this chart. They are going by the declared debt by the D.C. gang of 14 trillion. It is more than that, much more.

    There’s no way to bail this out but the powers that be will be doing just that. They already are.

    Without central banks we would not have the wars and globalization that is going on, at least not to the degree we have. Central banking makes all that possible. Let’s be civilised and dump this path, it is not working.

    What a mess everything is. The whole world going mad.
