I apologise to my American readers who, in the face of external criticism, always jump to the United States' defence. However, face facts, the US is now a corporate fascist state. Don't get me wrong, so too is the European Union.
Recent weeks have seen WikiLeaks publish US diplomatic cables and student protesters in London battling with the police. Too little and too late.
Agents of the United States (be they governmental or corporate) bombard the WikiLeaks website with denial of service attacks. Then there are the jumped up charges of rape filed against the founder of WikiLeaks, Julian Assange. These charges are a rather primitive way of silencing WikiLeaks, doomed to fail in this distributed Internet age where something or someone else will always step up to replace whatever the US government want removed, hidden or covered up.
In all likelihood, governmental information will be harder to get hold of in future thus making it easier for governments to lie to us. If a government believes information can be stolen then it just won't store information where it can be got at.
Students (whose thuggish activities brought more scorn than sympathy), and other protesters, will find it harder to demonstrate. I was not in favour of the student protest simply because education (and the crumbling National Health Service) has to be paid for and if you are going to get a better job than most with your degree then you are in a better position than most to pay for that education. Our increasingly bankrupt governments will never be able to afford any public services in the future so we better get used to looking after ourselves.

The power of the Internet
No matter how much governments and businesses try to corral the Internet for their own uses, the people find ways of fighting back.
The evil triumvirate of politicians, bankers and corporations try to control us but the public find new ways of resisting.
The bankers try to whittle away at our wealth but through the Internet people like Max Keiser spur people on to put their spare wealth into silver to protect the value of their savings and also bring down JP Morgan bank.
The US government tries to silence WikiLeaks with denial of service attacks on WikiLeaks servers, then threatens companies that do business with WikiLeaks and is, no doubt, behind the trumped up sexual abuse charges filed against WikiLeaks Julian Assange. the people fight back through Anonymous and carry out denial of service attacks against those companies that do the US government's bidding.
We SHALL overcome and the oppressed people of North America and Europe SHALL be free.

WikiLeaks
If anything, the US government's reaction to WikiLeaks activities just confirms what I thought the moment Barack Obama was elected president. Mr Obama is just another corporate suit, employed by corporations and bankers to continue US dominance over the rest of the world.
The US government is carrying out denial of service attacks upon WikiLeaks servers, putting pressure on any company that does business with WIkiLeaks (PayPal etc) to no longer do business with WikiLeaks and harassing members of WikiLeaks.
Whatever happened to the land of the free?

A message to all Euro savers
All savers of Euros should convert to silver or gold.
Why? The Euro WILL fail, one way or another. Countries (like Ireland and Greece) will jump first or the whole lot will go. Now, imagine you are told that your Euros will be converted to another currency sometime in the near future. There will be a flight from those Euros to some other reserve (be it dollars, sterling or bullion) thus devaluing the Euro and your wealth. You will see your wealth decrease day by day as the conversion day approaches.
I doubt the European Central Bank will do a 1-for-1 swap like the German government did for the conversion of Ost Marks following German reunification. One Euro is not the same as any other. Just look at the government bond markets for the constituent countries of the Euro!
So, pre-empt the colapse of the Euro and put all your spare savings (that which you do not need in the short-term) into bullion. DO NOT buy physical bullion because the crooks will charge you VAT on your purchase. Instead, buy virtual bullion from a reputable company like Gold Money (or similar). Such companies will hold your wealth in their vault using physical bullion with no VAT charges, just a very small holding charge for their administration costs.
