Never an accident the pictures are gruesome:
One senator who saw pictures of Osama said it was ‘pretty gruesome’ and this is admission Osama was brutally murdered by the US.
IT IS NEVER AN ACCIDENT THE PICTURES OF A DEAD OSAMA ARE GRUESOME, IT REFLECTS THE BRUTAL VIOLENT MANNER HE WAS WILFULLY KILLED AND THE FACT THAT IT WAS DESCRIBED AS GRUESOME BY THE SENATOR IS TANTAMOUNT TO ADMISSION THE US BUTCHERED HIM AND THAT IS THE REASON THE PHOTOS ARE NOT RELEASED, FOR FEAR OF RETRIBUTION, NOT ‘WE DO NOT TROT OUT THIS STUFF AS TROPHY’
In an interview with CNN, Senator Inhofe agreed that the photos taken in the compound in Pakistan immediately after bin Laden was killed were "pretty gruesome".
"One of the shots went through an ear and out through the eye socket. Or it went in through the eye socket and out - then exploded," he said.
Is it a coincidence?
Is it a coincidence that the US should hate Osama and he should end up brutally violently murdered at the hands of its troops? Unless these troops showed remarkable restraint, it is likely they would have shot Osama mercilessly with as much venom as their pent up hate can muster and so it is not an accident Osama ended up looking gruesome.
If you dare kill him brutally you should be man enough to face the consequences whatever they may be by letting the world see what you have done. And so the US is behaving cowardly by concealing the photos in the hope of evading revenge.
It was said Osama’s only hope of being taken alive is if he was caught naked because American soldiers are so afraid to die they fear he may be wearing suicide jackets that put them at risk.
ALWAYS THE AMERICAN CREDO IS THAT I CAN KILL YOU BUT YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO KILL ME, BETTER YOU DIE BY MISTAKE THAN I DIE BECAUSE I FAILED TO KILL YOU BEFORE YOU KILLED ME.
Every nation has its karma, there are some nations that suffer more from war or famine (eg Iraq, war torn African states) than others (US, Japan, Australia), the sufferings of nations are not the same.
Rather than an accident, it may be the karma of people to be born in war torn or relatively affluent peaceful places.
As a result of America’s unrighteous, bullying, cheating and even murderous actions without accountability, it may be called upon to suffer even terribly in the future in propitiation.
EVERYTHING HAS A CAUSE AND JUST AS ALL INDIVIDUALS ARE CALLED TO ACCOUNT FOR THEIR ACTIONS, NATIONS TOO MAY BE CALLED TO ACCOUNT AND SUFFER FOR THEIR ACTIONS.
The US may face the financial barrel of the gun:
Many nations like China hold huge reserves of USD more than is necessary to trade with the world and the US and if these holders start to unload a substantial portion of their USD holdings, they could drive down the value of the USD even dramatically to near worthless values, the reasons they are not doing so at the moment is because they are desirous of exporting to the US to earn pieces of paper (USD) that they deem valuable and desirable.
WHAT IF THEY BEGIN TO LOSE FAITH IN EXPORTING TO EARN PIECES OF PAPER THE US PRINTS AND THEY DECIDE TO TRADE AMONGST THEMSELVES AND INTERNALLY RATHER THAN EXPORTING FOR PIECES OF PAPER THAT MAY TURN OUT TO BE TOILET PAPER LATER?
Not just these sovereign nations but many big entities, hedge funds, investment banks (Goldman, Morgan Stanley) are capable of and have big positions in the forex markets with view to making easy money based on the movements of currency (these people will sell their grandmothers if she is worth anything).
You can short a currency just as you can short a stock or commodity and so if there is a big momentum to short the USD then it will drive down the value of the USD very quickly even based on very low volumes and the idea is to buy back later to get more USD and these acquired greater numbers of USD can again be used to sell to drive down the USD so that with many cycles of selling high and buying back low, the speculators come to hold a massive pile of USD more than when they started whilst the US economy is crippled because its currency is worth much less and it has difficulty buying the commodities it needs (eg oil, food, Apple computers from China) whilst the world that has lost faith in trading with the US for worthless pieces of paper settle to trade amongst themselves with the US as a pariah in the periphery.
A NATION’S CURRENCY AND THAT INCLUDES THE USD CAN BE SHORTED AND SPECULATORS ARE MERCILESS CUT THROATS DEDICATED TO MAKING MONEY OUT OF NOTHING DOING NO USEFUL WORK. IT DOES MATTER IF THEY KILL THEIR GRANDMOTHERS, SO LONG AS THEY GAIN THEIR EASY MONEY.
THUS IF THERE IS ENOUGH MOMENTUM IN THE MARKETS AND THERE IS LOSS OF FAITH IN THE PIECES OF PAPER THE US PRINTS, THERE MAY BE A SNOWBALL SELLING OF USD THAT DRIVES IT DOWN SHARPLY SO THAT THESE SPECULATORS CAN BUY BACK MUCH MORE LATER AND THIS POOL OF INCREASED USD CAN AGAIN BE USED AS AMMUNITION TO SELL TO FURTHER DRIVE DOWN THE USD UNTIL IT IS CRIPPLED, THE US HAS EXHAUSTED ITS HOLDINGS OF YUANS, YENS AND WHATNOTS AND NOBODY WANTS TO GIVE THE US THESE CURRENCIES IN RETURN FOR USD.
US has put itself at the mercy of China:
The fool has a wrong understanding of a situation and so the US foolishly thinks nothing of increasingly indebting itself to the world (and China in particular) not realizing it is putting a noose around its neck and leaving itself at the mercy of others (China in particular).
THE US MAY STILL BE MILITARILY SUPERIOR TO CHINA (WHICH IS CATCHING UP) BUT IN THE EVENT OF HOSTILITY, CHINA CAN CRIPPLE THE US BECAUSE IT CAN OFFLOAD ITS HUGE PILE OF USD THAT WILL DEPLETE THE US’ RESERVES OF OTHER CURRENCIES (EURO, YEN, YUAN, ETC) SO THAT USD WILL PLUNGE IN VALUE FOR CHINA TO BUY BACK LATER IN MUCH GREATER QUANTITIES THAN WHEN IT STARTED OFF WITH AND THIS GREATER POOL OF USD CAN AGAIN BE USED TO ATTACK THE CURRENCY BY SELLING UNTIL THE USD IS MUCH DECIMATED IN VALUE AND CHINA HOLDS A GREATER POOL OF USD THAT GRANTS IT GREATER POWER OVER THE US LIKE A MAN HOLDING A GUN AT THE HEAD OF THE US.
UNLESS THE US WANTS TO PLAY FOUL, RESORT TO MILITARY ACTIONS AGAINST CHINA THEN IT HAS SLIPPED A NOOSE AROUND ITS NECK BY PERMITTING CHINA TO HOLD SO MUCH OF ITS CURRENCY THAT CAN BE USED TO ATTACK AND CRIPPLE IT. PRINTING MORE USD DOES NOT NEGATE SUCH ATTACKS AND DISTRUST OF THE USD MAY DRIVE NATIONS TO HOLD THE MINIMAL AMOUNT OF USD NECESSARY TO TRADE WITH THE US AND THE REST OF THE WORLD OR THEY MAY VOTE TO CREATE A WORLD CURRENCY RATHER THAN USE THE UNRELIABLE USD.
IT IS CHINA NOT THE US NOW THAT IS HOLDING THE TRUMP CARD. THE FOOL KEEP PRINTING MONEY TO BUY FROM THE WORLD NOT REALIZING THAT SUCH FECKLESS ACTIONS HAVE GRAVE FUTURE CONSEQUENCES.
No escape for the US:
Because the USD is the currency that is used domestically and in trade with the rest of world and foreigners (especially China) holds vast reserves of it, the US cannot escape by printing a different currency or keep printing more but must live with a gun pointed at its head of others holding vast sums of its own currency, its own blood. No matter how you try to dilute your own blood others still hold a significant portion of your own blood.
Thus if things turn nasty, China has enough ammunition in USD to keep selling to exhaust the US of its foreign reserves that will cause the value of the USD in foreign currencies to collapse and then if it wished, China could rebuy those now dirt cheap USD to rebuild its arsenal of USD to levels even greater than before until the US is crippled, down on its knees.
THE US CAN KEEP PRINTING MORE USD BUT IF THE WORLD DOES NOT DESIRE TO CONVERT THEIR CURRENCIES TO USD, THERE IS LITTLE DEMAND FOR USD THEN IT IS AN EXERCISE IN FUTILITY JUST AS I CAN KEEP ON PRINTING MORE AND MORE OF MY CURRENCY BUT IF NO ONE IS INTERESTED IN BUYING MY CURRENCY, WHAT IS THE POINT?
May be worthless but still a deadly weapon:
The pile of USD that China holds may be worthless if the US cannot fulfil its promised obligations but it can be a tool to destroy the US by making it difficult if not impossible for the US to trade with the world.
THE US IS LIKE AN ALCOHOLIC WHO DOES NOT KNOW THE DANGERS IT WAS EXPOSING ITSELF BY PERMITTING THE REST OF THE WORLD TO HOLD SO MUCH USD. THE LURE IS THAT IT PERMITS THE US TO LIVE LIKE A LORD FAR MORE THAN IT ACTUALLY CAN AFFORD BUT THE PRICE IN THE AGONY OF FUTURE SUFFERING IS FAR WORSE.
IF IT WISHED, AND A TIME MAY COME IN EXASPERATION AND THE REALIZATION OF THE POINTLESSNESS OF EXPORTING TO THE US FOR A PILE OF PAPER THAT MAY BE WORTHLESS, THAT CHINA AND MANY OTHERS WILL START TO UNLOAD THE PILES OF USD THEY HOLD KNOWING AND INTENDING TO DRIVE DOWN (WITH IMPUNITY) THE VALUE OF THE USD AND IF THEY DON’T BUY USD, NOBODY COULD PUSH UP THE VALUE OF THE USD THEY DUMP (THE US MAY WANT TO BUY THE USD BEING DUMPED BUT WHERE IS IT GOING TO GET THE YUAN, YEN, EURO TO BUY?) AND WHEN THE VALUE OF THE USD HAS DROPPED MUCH THEN THEY WILL BUY MORE USD WITH FEWER YUANS EXACERBATING THE US’ DEBT BURDEN WITHOUT EVEN ANY GOODS EXCHANGED.
BECAUSE AMERICA CANNOT LIVE ALONE, NEEDS TO TRADE WITH THE WORLD, EVEN IF IT RENEGES ON ITS DEBT OBLIGATIONS, IT CAN BE BROUGHT TO ITS KNEES BY ECONOMIC WARFARE SHOULD FOREIGNERS DECIDE TO USE ITS USELESS PILE OF USD TO CRIPPLE ITS CAPACITY TO TRADE WITH THE WORLD.
Bin Laden shot in just his pants
James Inhofe spoke after seeing top-secret photos from the scene of the terror leader's shooting by US Navy Seals in Pakistan on May 2.
He said: "Two of them showed that he had what you would call underwear on, that was about it.
IT WAS SAID THAT THE ONLY WAY BIN LADEN COULD BE TAKEN ALIVE IS IF HE WAS NAKED (FOR FEAR HE BOOBY TRAPPED HIMSELF. THE FACT THAT HE WAS SHOT IN HIS UNDERPANTS PUT PAY TO WHATEVER CREDIBILITY THE IDEA THE US HAD INTENTIONS TO CAPTURE HIM ALIVE. WHAT KIND OF THREAT COULD A MAN IN HIS UNDERWEAR POSE AND SO THE MANNER OF HIS KILLING REVEALS THE MERCILESSNESS AND VENOM THAT WENT INTO HIS KILLING.OBAMA MURDERED OSAMA:
ULTIMATELY OBAMA AND NO ONE ELSE GAVE THE GO AHEAD TO KILL OSAMA, WITHOUT HIS AUTHORISATION NOBODY WOULD HAVE DONE IT AND SO YOU ARE LOOKING AT A KILLER IN OBAMA AND YOU THINK HE IS A BENIGN MAN?
TO ONE WHO DISCERNS, OBAMA IS NOT GOOD, NEITHER IS HIS WIFE WHO IS JUST ALL SHOW.
The difference between Wan Azizah & Michelle Obama:
There is substance in Wan Azizah, wife of Anwar but it is all a front, a façade, for show for Michelle Obama, for one who sees correctly.
Seals killed man because his hands were behind his backs:
As they (Seals) entered the house, they saw a man with his hands behind his back. Fearing that the man might be holding a weapon behind him, the commandos shot him dead.
It turned out that the man, who was the brother of Abu Ahmed al Kuwaiti and another suspected al Qaeda courier, was not holding a weapon, according to the two sources familiar with official accounts.
SEALS ARE VERY AFRAID TO DIE; THEY WILL RATHER KILL YOU FIRST THAN GIVE YOU ANY CHANCE TO KILL THEM.
KILLING ANOTHER MAN IS A VERY SERIOUSLY BUSINESS WITH DEADLY KARMA DUE AND SO IF YOU WANT TO KILL ANOTHER YOU SHOULD HAVE THE FAIRNESS OF PERMITTING HIM TO HAVE A FAIR GO AT YOU, IF YOU DON’T YOU ARE A COWARD NOT HERO.
IT IS NEVER JUSTIFIED TO SHOOT A MAN JUST BECAUSE YOU CANNOT SEE HIS HANDS, EVEN IF HE HAD A WEAPON, THERE IS PLENTY OF TIME TO KILL HIM BEFORE HE KILLED YOU BECAUSE YOUR WEAPON IS AIMED AT HIM WHILST HE IS PRODUCING HIS WEAPON. THUS IT IS AN ACT OF COWARDICE TO KILL ANOTHER EVEN BEFORE HE PRODUCES A WEAPON.
THIS IS THE CREED OF UGLY AMERICA, BIG BULLY WHO WILL KILL WITH PRESSED BUTTONS REMOTELY WHERE POSSIBLE AND IN SUCH CASES WHERE THEY HAVE TO GET PERSONAL LIKE KILLING BIN LADEN, THEY BLAST EVERYONE OF ANY THREAT OUT OF SIGHT RATHER THAN RISK A HAIR ON THEIR HEADS.
Not so heroic after all:
According to unofficial US accounts, only one person was armed and the people killed were unarmed and there was hardly any resistance.
Thus all this talk of how brave these highly trained Seals team is a myth, they met with little resistance and showed great unwarranted brutality in killing unarmed people. The helicopter was destroyed because of mechanical failure not fighting.
THESE SEALS MAY BE GREAT FIGHTING HEROES BUT IT TURNED OUT TO BE A CINCH ‘TAKING OUT BIN LADEN’ WITH LITTLE OR NO FIGHTING REQUIRED.
Modern cowboys without chivalry:
In the old Wild West, a man can be hanged for murder if he shot another in the back. For Seals to shoot a man dead because his hands are behind his back is murder. Just because he associates with Bin Laden does not make him guilty. Without questioning how do you know he is guilty and even if he is guilty does his guilt require an instant death sentence?
THUS SEALS KILLING A MAN BECAUSE HIS HANDS ARE BEHIND HIS BACK REFLECTS COWARDLY HASTINESS TO GUN DOWN ANOTHER BEFORE HE CAN GUN YOU DOWN EVEN WHEN HE IS ALREADY AT AN UNFAIR ADVANTAGE BECAUSE YOU HAVE A GUN TRAINED ON HIM WHILST HE HASN’T DRAWN YET.
Supposed you are a hunk and you beat up and killed a skinny man, is it any surprise you killed him instead of him killing you? Would you call that a fair fight or kill? If it was not a fair fight, might you be punished for unfairly killing a defenceless person?
WHAT MAKES AMERICANS THINK THEY ARE NOT EVIL AND BIN LADEN IS EVIL? THUS IF HE WAS UNARMED AND DEFENCELESS AND YOU GUNNED HIM DOWN THEN THAT IS AN UNFAIR KILLING AND THOSE WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE FACE COMMENSURATE PUNISHMENT.
THE RIGHT THING IS TO ARREST HIM AND BRING HIM TO JUSTICE AND LET THE COURT SENTENCE HIM TO DEATH RATHER THAT TAKE THE LAW IN YOUR HANDS AND SUMMARILY BRUTALLY KILL HIM. SO ANYONE WHO DEFENDS THE AMERICANS IN KILLING OSAMA HAS WRONG VIEW THAT IS THE WAY TO HELL OR THE ANIMAL WOMB. ALL KILLING IS EVIL BUT TO KILL A DEFENCELESS MAN EVEN IF HE IS EVIL IS BAD. AMERICANS ARE FAR FROM GOOD THEY LIKE TO THINK THEY ARE.
If Prophet Mohamad came back today:
This is another deluded piece by RPK, as if he knows what will happen if the prophet came back. What he is doing is unnecessarily conjecturing he thinks he knows what will happen if the prophet came back today when it is impossible he will know.
ALL FABRICATING OR CONJECTURING IS SUFFERING, FALSE AND LEADS TO INSANITY BECAUSE YOU ARE ACTING AS IF WHAT IS A FABRICATION OF YOUR MIND HAS REALITY, IS TRUE, WILL HAPPEN AS YOU IMAGINED.
PEOPLE THINK NOTHING ABOUT SPECULATING, CONJECTURING, FANTASIZING WHEN IT IS EVIL, DEADLY, DELIVERING YOURSELF INTO THE ARMS OF FALSITY AND SUFFERING. THERE IS AGAIN KARMA FOR HIM FOR ENCOURAGING OTHERS TO SIMILARLY FANTASIZE.
How Anwar may be spliced into sex tape:
Anwar was detained a few times and he was stripped for examination and these sessions may have been videotaped and such taped segments can be interposed to compromise Anwar eg the left side showed the genuine Anwar undressing in police lockup and the right side showing the prostitute.
The current farce over Christian moves to displace Islam shows the lengths these deranged people will go to achieve their ends and it would not be surprised if tapes exists of Anwar stripping in police lockup, it could be spliced to incriminate him.
The paybacks of a weak USD:
Having a weak USD may not be that fun or painless as some deluded people might perceive because the US becomes a slave to the world, getting less for their products and labors reversing the role with the Chinese who used to get paid dirt cheap for their labors whilst their imports from the world (commodities and products) are more expensive.
IT IS WISHFUL THINKING THAT A WEAK USD IS A PAINLESS SOLUTION TO THE TRADE IMBALANCES AND DEBTS THE US OWES THE REST OF THE WORLD BECAUSE IF THE USD FALLS SIGNIFICANTLY THEN THE US WILL REVERSE ROLES WITH CHINA WORKING FOR DIRT CHEAP PAY WHILST PAYING ‘THROUGH THE NOSE’ FOR DESIRED IMPORTS FROM THE WORLD. THIS CAN BE A QUITE PAINFUL OR UNPALATABLE COMBO NOT THE PAINLESS SOLUTION FANTASIZED.
AND IT WILL BE SOME TIME BEFORE THE US SEES ANY GENUINE PAYMENT BECAUSE IT OWES CHINA A LOT OF MONEY AND WILL HAVE TO CLEAR ALL THOSE DEBTS BEFORE IT GETS TRULY PAID.
The fool is lulled to abuse his position as owner of the international currency of trade to build up massive debts by keep printing money to fund purchases to live way beyond his means not realizing the borrowed money has been spent on useless perishable consumption and now as a result of his weak economic health, his currency is devalued and so he will have to slog at low pay to repay his debts (de facto working for free or no true pay) whilst he pays through his nose for exorbitantly priced imports. Should he buckle and collapse into a severe depression as a result of being unable to cope, the rest of the world too will be affected but then the situation is like checkmate or painting yourself into a corner. Who asked the US and the world to paint themselves into such a corner?
THE US HAS ALREADY SPENT MONEY THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RESERVED FOR THE FUTURE AND NOW IT IS HEAVILY IN DEBT TO THE WORLD AND WITH THE NOOSE NOW TIGHTENING AND THE USD WEAKENING, THE US MUST WORK FOR FREE (CANCELLATION OF THOSE DEBTS) WHILST GETTING PAID MUCH LESS BECAUSE OF THE WEAK USD WHILST HE IS FORCED TO PAY THROUGH THE NOSE FOR EXPENSIVE IMPORTS BECAUSE HIS USD IS WEAK. THIS MAY BREAK HIS BACK SO THAT HE SLUMS INTO A DEPRESSION PULLING THE REST OF THE WORLD WITH HIM.
JUST WHEN THE US NEEDS TO PAY BACK ITS MOUNTAINOUS DEBTS WITH THE WORLD THAT HAS BECOME TOO BIG TO SWEEP UNDER THE CARPET, IT IS HIT WITH THE DOUBLE WHAMMY OF GETTING PAID LOW FOR HIS LABORS AND HAVING TO PAY THROUGH HIS NOSE FOR IMPORTS BECAUSE OF A WEAK DOLLAR.
When it rains, it pours:
Lulled by the strong USD and the licence of being able to print at will to fund purchases, the fool (America) does not realize he is delivering himself into a deadly debt trap.
When his debts become too heavy to sweep under the carpet, his USD weakens so that he gets paid less just when he needs to repay his mountainous debts whilst he has to pay more for the goods he imports from the world. Whilst he is working to repay his mountainous debts, he will have to survive on nothing because whatever he gets paid will be used to cancel existing debts not fund purchases from the world.
Many ordinary people do not realize they are in a similar grave or dangerous position. They have a false sense of security not realizing there is terrible suffering in repayment ahead for them as a result of their present conduct.
This was said by the Blessed One: "Suppose a man was being carried along by the flow of a river, lovely & alluring. And then another man with good eyesight, standing on the bank, on seeing him would say: 'My good man, even though you are being carried along by the flow of a river, lovely & alluring, further down from here is a pool with waves & whirlpools, with monsters & demons. On reaching that pool you will suffer death or death-like pain.' Then the first man, on hearing the words of the second man, would make an effort with his hands & feet to go against the flow.
"I have given you this simile to illustrate a meaning. The meaning is this: the flow of the river stands for craving. Lovely & alluring stands for the six internal sense-media. The pool further down stands for the five lower fetters.* The waves stand for anger & distress. The whirlpools stand for the five strands of sensuality. The monsters & demons stand for the opposite sex. Against the flow stands for renunciation. Making an effort with hands & feet stands for the arousing of persistence. The man with good eyesight standing on the bank stands for the Tathagata, worthy & rightly self-awakened."
Because the US owes China (and many countries) a lot of money, the money it gets paid lowly as a result of the weak USD cannot be used to fund purchases from the world but will have to go towards cancelling existing debts and so the US will not get paid for its lowly paid work for the world whilst it has to pay ‘through its nose’ to buy from the world because of a weak USD. This is a burden that may be too much for US citizens accustomed to unfettered consumption and little work.
The reality of US’ balance of accounts with the world:
How does the US accumulate such a huge deficit or debt with the rest of the world?
Should the USD weaken as it is now, then should US goods be unchanged in price it would make US goods cheaper and more attractive on the world markets but would not make it easier for the US to repay its debts to the world but it would have to pay more in USD to get goods and services from the rest of the world.
WHEN THE USD WEAKENS, THE DEBTS OF THE US WITH THE WORLD REMAINS THE SAME BECAUSE IT IS DENOMINATED IN USD, ALTHOUGH THE GOODS IT SELLS BECOMES MORE ATTRACTIVE BECAUSE THEY ARE CHEAPER, IF PRICES ARE UNCHANGED NOT RAISED, THE US GETS THE SAME AMOUNTS OF USD TO REPAY ITS EXISTING DEBTS BUT IT WILL HAVE TO PAY MORE USD TO GET GOODS AND SERVICES FROM THE WORLD.
THE VALUE OF ITS FUTURE DEBTS RISES FASTER BECAUSE IT WILL HAVE TO ISSUE MORE USD TO BUY GOODS IN CREDIT FROM OTHER COUNTRIES.
SHOULD FOREIGNERS WANT TO EXIT THE US, THEY WILL GET LESS FOREIGN CURRENCY FOR EVERY USD THEY RETURN, THUS IF CHINA WANTS OUT, IT WILL GET LESS YUAN FOR EVERY USD IT RETURNS TO THE US COMPARED WITH IN THE PAST. IF THE USD BECOMES TOILET ROLL, CHINA WILL GET NO YUANS FOR THE USD IT HOLDS.
SHOULD THERE BE A RUN ON THE US CURRENCY WITH THE VALUE OF THOSE WANTING TO EXIT GREATER THAN FOREIGN RESERVES THAT THE US HOLDS, THEN THE VALUE OF THE USD WILL DROP EVEN PLUNGE AND THE US WILL BE UNABLE TO FULFILL ITS OBLIGATIONS WITHOUT BORROWING IN THAT CURRENCY BECAUSE IT DOES NOT PRINT THAT CURRENCY. THUS IF THE US RUNS OUT OF YUANS TO MEET DEMAND, CHINA WOULD HAVE TO SELL YUANS TO BUY USD TO HELP THE US OUT OR ELSE THE US WOULD BE INSOLVENT.
The fabulous windfalls of being a world reserve currency:
There are considerable windfall wealth to be gained in being a world reserve or settlement currency and despite such considerable wealth accrued without sweat, the US has managed to rack up massive debts indicating its feckless nature and its wealth and pre-eminent position is ill-gotten not meritorious.
A lot if not all the trade between nations are settled in USD and so there is demand for USD to settle accounts even amongst nations not involving the US and so these nations must hold sizeable USD reserves to meet trade demands and these USD reserves held by many countries in the world is de facto a pool of considerable wealth lent to the US government. Even though there is a flux of money changing into and out of USD, at any moment there is a lot of money in transit denominated in USD and this represents a considerable permanent loan to the US government.
STRIPPED OFF ITS ROLE AS RESERVE OR TRADE CURRENCY, THE US WILL BE CONSIDERABLY POORER THAN IT NOW IS.
THERE ARE MANY BENEFITS OR WINDFALLS FROM BEING THE CURRENCY OF TRADE:
THUS A LOT OF THE WEALTH DOES NOT TRULY BELONG TO THE US, IS ACTUALLY LENT TO THE US MORE THAN THE OFFICIAL DEBTS LISTED WITH INDIVIDUAL COUNTRIES LIKE CHINA, JAPAN, ETC.
IN TRUTH THE US OWES THE WORLD FAR MORE MONEY THAN OFFICIALLY ACKNOWLEDGED BECAUSE BEING A RESERVE CURRENCY, MANY NATIONS ARE FORCED TO HOLD USD (THERE IS NO NEED FOR GERMANY TO HOLD RINGGIT BECAUSE ALL ITS TRADE WITH MALAYSIA IS SETTLED IN USD), THE WORLDWIDE POOL OF MONEY IN TRANSIT IN USD AS TRADE SETTLEMENT BETWEEN NATIONS IS A MASSIVE LOAN TO THE US TREASURY, THE PHYSICAL USD CIRCULATING OUTSIDE THE US (600 BILLION USD) IS ANOTHER MASSIVE LOAN AND MANY RICH PEOPLE STASH THEIR WEALTH IN THE US (THAT MAY BE WITHDRAWN).
DESPITE SUCH WINDFALLS OR LARGESSE, THE US HAS STILL MANAGED TO INCUR MASSIVE DEBTS WITH THE WORLD INDICATING ITS IRRESPONSIBLE PROFLIGACY AND SHORN OF THIS WEALTH, THE US IS MUCH MORE PUNY THAN IT APPEARS TO BE.
The euro takes part of USD’s free lunch:
Individually the European nations do not have the weight to counter the US but together, with a common currency, it commands much greater clout and credibility as a viable alternative trade settlement currency that will take a slice of the free lunch that hitherto the US has quietly gobbled.
Thus with the euro, the European nations did not have to use the USD to settle trade amongst themselves and between the Eurozone and direct trading partners, further the euro is a viable reserve currency for others to use to settle trade amongst themselves rather than use the USD.
JUST AS A SHEEP SHORN OFF ITS WOOL LOOKS SKINNY, IN THE SAME WAY, THE US SHORN OFF THE LARGESSE OR FREE LUNCH OF ACTING AS GLOBAL CURRENCY OF TRADE CAN LOOK VERY SKINNY.
USA not so great after all:
How much the US pre-eminence and wealth is merited and how much is ill-gotten by bullying, by feeding like a glutton at the table, by having a free lunch off the world (from its role as reserve currency), by keep printing worthless money to finance its purchases from the world can be objectively known, if not by you or me then by God.
IF MUCH OF THE GLORY IS UNMERITED AND YOU FLOUT YOURSELF, ACT AS IF YOU ARE SO GREAT, THERE WILL BE PAIN DOWN THE LINE IN PROPITIATION AND SO IT IS AMERICA MAY BE HEADED FOR A RECKONING WITH KARMA AND SUFFERING IT NEVER DREAMT IS POSSIBLE. YOU THINK YOU ARE SO GREAT, YOU MAY BE PUT TO THE TEST (AND OBVIOUSLY FOUND WANTING).
It is a loan not a gift:
When people outside the US prefer to buy and sell with USD rather than the local currency, the value stored in the USD is a loan not a gift to the US treasury.
When China deposits a lot of money in US treasury bills, it is a loan not a gift.
Because it is a loan not a gift, you should protect the value of the loan in your safekeeping and if you fail to protect it so that the lender receives much less for his loan later, you are liable for shirking your responsibility.
SUPPOSE THE USD COLLAPSES IN VALUE SO THAT THOSE OUTSIDE THE US WILL GET MUCH LESS VALUE WHEN THEY TURN IN THEIR USD FOR FOREIGN CURRENCIES OR CHINA GETS MUCH LESS WHEN IT CASHES OUT OF ITS US TREASURY BILLS.
THE VIEW IN THIS WORLD IS WHO ASKS YOU TO KEEP USD AND TREASURY BILLS, TOUGH LUCK.
BUT IF IT IS THROUGH RECKLESSNESS THAT YOU CAUSED THE USD TO FALL DRASTICALLY IN VALUE THEN YOU ARE GUILTY IN CAUSING BY RECKLESSNESS OR FOLLY THE VALUE OF THE DOLLAR TO FALL AND ITS HOLDERS TO SUFFER LOSS.
WHENEVER MONEY IS ENTRUSTED IN YOUR CUSTODY YOU HAVE A DUTY TO PROTECT IT. IF INSTEAD YOU TREAT IT AS A FREE GIFT, SPENT IT ALL OR DEBASED IT SO THAT WHEN ITS OWNERS WANT TO REDEEM IT THEY GET MUCH LESS, YOU MAY CLAIM INNOCENCE BUT YOU MAY BE LIABLE FOR PUNISHMENT BY DIVINE LAW. THE FOOL IS EVER READY TO KEEP OTHERS’ MONEY IN HIS CUSTODY AND GIVE ASSURANCES, THE WISE PERSON WOULD HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH OTHER PEOPLE’S MONEY BECAUSE IN KEEPING HE HAS GRAVE RESPONSIBILITY AND DUTY TO PROTECT IT.
US printing money is wilful defacement:
If it is true the US kept printing money to finance its purchases from the world and it is now furiously printing money to prevent the system from collapsing, then if these are the causes of the USD falling drastically in value causing foreigners who hold USD and US treasury bills to sustain significant losses when they exit, the US is not blameless but to blame for causing these people to sustain losses.
IF THE US IS GUILTY OF PRINTING MONEY TO FUND ITS IMPORTS AND IT IS NOW MASSIVELY PRINTING TO SHORE UP THE SYSTEM, THEN IT IS GUILTY OF CAUSING FOREIGN HOLDERS OF USD AND HOLDERS OF US TREASURY BILLS TO SUSTAIN LOSSES WHEN THEY SWITCH OUT OF THE US. BECAUSE IT IS TO BE BLAMED, IT IS LIABLE TO PUNISHMENT AND SUFFERING.
China will lose and suffer, might not the US pay?If as a result of US reckless printing of money to fund its trade deficits and now reckless printing to cover shortfalls, China and other foreign holders of US treasury bills suffer serious losses for which the US is blameworthy, might not the US be punished, be called upon to suffer for causing others’ losses, for dereliction of duty failing to look after others’ money entrusted to it?
THUS IF THERE IS DIVINE JUDGMENT AND ACCOUNTABILITY, JUST AS CHINA SUFFERS LOSSES AS A RESULT OF US DERELICTION, THE US MAY AND CAN BE CALLED UPON TO SUFFER IN PROPITIATION. IRAQ WAS NOT SUFFERING TOO BAD WITH SADDAM, NOW ITS CITIZENS ARE TERRORIZED BY STREET BOMBS AND LAWLESSNESS. IN THE SAME WAY, ALL IS ‘FINE’ NOW WITH THE US BUT IT MAY NOT REMAIN SO FOREVER.
United Mahathir National Organization:
To understand the nature of today’s UMNO and things it will do to get what it wants, one must realize that today’s UMNO had been purged by Dr M and now moulded even indelibly (cannot be reverted) in his image.
The sole purpose of dissolving UMNO in 1988 was so that UMNO could be reconstituted with Dr M in charge and reapplications for membership would be screened to exclude those unfriendly to him and did not share his creeds.
In the aftermath of the UMNO elections of 1988 in which Dr M narrowly beat his challenger Tengku Razaleigh, it was found that there were irregularities in the membership of some divisions and so the vote was compromised, there was a court challenge by Razaleigh’s supporters and the judge surprised those with common sense by declaring UMNO illegal as a result of the election rather than calling for fresh elections that would disadvantage Dr M. Subsequently Razaleigh’s faction was denied right to register a party under UMNO name but Dr M’s faction unsurprisingly got approval to register UMNO baru. I think in tandem with this crisis was a judiciary crisis in which the Supreme court judges were all dismissed, Tun Salleh Abbas was dismissed for allegedly committing an impropriety.
TODAY’S UMNO IS MOULDED IN THE IMAGE OF DR M, UMNO WAS PURGED BY DR M AND THIS EXPLAINS ITS NATURE AND ACTIONS TODAY. DR M ACCUSED THE TUNKU OF MANY THINGS IN OPEN LETTERS DESIGNED TO INFLAME AND TOPPLE THE TUNKU IN THE AFTERMATH OF THE 1969 ELECTIONS. HE ACCUSED THE TUNKU OF THE ABUSE OF POWER. DID DR M ABUSE HIS POWERS AND TO WHAT SCALE COMPARED WITH THE TUNKU?
Raising the US debt ceiling:
There is a standoff or impasse facing the US congress regarding authorizing the US government to borrow more because the US has reached the limits of its current debt and need to borrow more in order to survive.
CONGRESS HAS ALREADY MANY TIMES VOTED IN THE PAST TO ALLOW THE US GOVERNMENT TO BORROW MORE (BY PRINTING USD) IN ORDER TO SURVIVE AND IT KEEPS COMING BACK FOR MORE LIKE THE ALCOHOLIC COMING BACK FOR MORE AND MORE ALCOHOL.
IF CONGRESS DOES NOT APPROVE, IT MEANS FUNDING CUTS AND THREATS OF A MELTDOWN. IF CONGRESS APPROVES IT MEANS POSTPONING AND EXACERBATING THE FUTURE DEBT RECKONING.
THE US IS BEHAVING LIKE AN OSTRICH WITH ITS HEAD BURIED IN THE SAND, NEEDING TO INCREASE ITS BORROWING IN A DANGEROUS SPIRAL EVEN AS IT HAS SERIOUS UNFUNDED OBLIGATIONS LIKE RETIREMENT AND HEALTH FUNDING.
THUS THE US MAY BE LIVING ON BORROWED TIME, DESPERATELY BORROWING MORE TO STAVE OF INSOLVENCY.
Sodomy II: Will Anwar be acquitted or called to enter defence?
This question posed reflects a false understanding of the situation and has deadly karma for the poser.
The truth of the matter is decision on Anwar’s case looms, not whether he will be acquitted or not, a question she cannot answer unless she is privy to information and if it is even a foregone conclusion that Anwar will be called to make his defence, by asking the question you are implying that the decision will be based on objective yet to be determined premises.
THE REALITY OF WHAT IS HAPPENING IS NOT ‘WILL ANWAR BE ACQUITTED OR NOT’ BUT A DECISION WHETHER TO ACQUIT ANWAR LOOMS. THERE IS A VITAL OR DEADLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO VERSIONS AND IF YOU THINK THEY ARE THE SAME YOU HAVE WRONG UNDERSTANDING THAT IS THE WAY TO HELL OR THE ANIMAL WOMB.
IT IS WRONG TO ASK A QUESTION THAT CANNOT BE ANSWERED BY ANYONE, IT IS ASKING OTHERS TO COURT INSANITY BY SPECULATING, BY ATTEMPTING TO ANSWER A QUESTION THEY CANNOT KNOW.
POSING THE QUESTION MAKES IT APPEAR AS IF WHETHER ANWAR WILL BE CHARGED IS IN DOUBT WHEN KNOWING WHAT HAS HAPPENED, THERE MAY BE LITTLE OR NO DOUBT ABOUT THE OUTCOME AND IT IS ASKING FOR KARMA POSING THIS QUESTION AS IF IT IS SUCH A SUSPENSE.
The karma of asking questions:
All questions require answers, either mentally or physically.
Thus by asking others a question, “Will Anwar be acquitted or called to make his defence” you are asking others to speculate, conjecture when it is totally unnecessary and even if they tried, they cannot supply the true answer which has to await the court announcement.
THUS IT IS NEVER TRUE UNDERSTANDING THAT IS THE BASIS OF THE QUESTION BUT IT IS EMOTION, THE QUESTION IS DRIVEN BY EMOTION (NOT REASON) TARGETTED AT STIRRING READER’S EMOTIONS AND THAT IS KARMA TO BE EXPERIENCED AS FUTURE SUFFERING.
EVEN THE STATEMENT ‘ANWAR TO KNOW HIS FATE’ DOES NOT REFLECT REALITY WHICH IS COURT DECISION OR RULING TODAY, NOT ANWAR TO KNOW HIS FATE WHICH HAS THE TENDENCY TO STIR EMOTION.
YOU MEAN THEY HAVE COME THIS FAR TO ACQUIT ANWAR TO GIVE HIM A TRIUMPH THAT UPHOLDS ANWAR’S HONOR?
THE FOOL IS EAGER TO ASKS OTHERS QUESTIONS, THE WISE PERSON ASKS SPARINGLY WITH REASON ONLY PERTINENT QUESTIONS.
It would be astounding if Anwar was acquitted:
If the sodomy charge was true, you think they will let Anwar off the hook?
If the sodomy charge was fabricated, after such great lengths, would they turn back and exonerate Anwar thereby handing Anwar a victory to parade before the public?
IT IS GROSS POOR JUDGMENT TO ASK THE QUESTION AS IF IT IS IN GREAT DOUBT OR SUSPENSE WHEN SOMEONE WHO HAS A RIGHT UNDERSTANDING OF ALL THAT HAS HAPPENED WILL KNOW WHAT THE LIKELY OUTCOME IS.
The price for asking a foolish question:
As I expected, it was a mere formality, Anwar has been called to make his defence.
It is astounding if not impossible that the ruling elite would humiliate itself and handle Anwar a victory by acquitting him.
IF YOU ASK A FOOLISH QUESTION YOU ARE FOOLISH. FOOLISHNESS IS NOT THE WAY TO HEAVEN AND SAFETY BUT TO TORMENT EVEN ETERNALLY.
Irresistible iPad2:
This is a false statement because many including me can resist it. You may think nothing about it but you are speaking carelessly and Jesus said you will be judged for every careless word you (emotionally) say.
‘IRRESISTIBLE’ IS MEANINGLESS, IT IS ABOUT STIRRING OF MENTAL FORCE THAT IS BLIND SO THAT THE PERSON IS STRONGLY ATTRACTED TO AND WANT TO POSSESS THE IPAD2. THE IPAD IS EITHER GOOD, VERY GOOD OR BAD, WHAT IS THERE TO RESIST OR NOT EXCEPT IN YOUR FALSE PERCEPTION THAT WILL END IN MAD PERCEPTION.
IT IS NEVER THE IPAD2 THAT IS IRRESISTIBLE BUT THE PERSON’S FOOLISHLY BLINDLY STIRRED MENTAL FORCE THAT MAKES IT SO.
US debt hits $14.3 trillion:
Quote: The Treasury Department is expected to hit its $14.3 trillion borrowing limit on Monday, making it unable to access bond markets again.
Despite the unfair advantage of a permanent interest free loan from the world by virtue of its position as currency of trade (countries must stock USD for trade contingencies and there is a vast pool of USD in transit as people convert into and out of USD to consummate trade transactions) and billions of USD circulating the globe, the US has managed to rack up such mountainous debts that still leaves unaccounted health and pension obligations.
YOU CALL THIS A SAFE HAVEN FOR YOUR MONEY? IT AGAIN REFLECTS FAILURE TO UNDERSTAND THAT OTHER NATIONS ARE STILL WILLING TO LEND TO THE US TO LIVE WAY BEYOND ITS MEANS AND WILLING TO STASH THEIR WEALTH THERE.
The IMF chief lesson:
One moment he is high and mighty, now his world is upside down, shamed and even maybe suicidal. How he may wish he can turn back the clock but he is not a master of himself but a slave of evil impulses that are getting increasingly malignant or uncontrollable.
This is not the first time he has done this, he has attacked and raped women and escaped in the past, as allegations are surfacing.
He is actually a robot with plans to violently attack women and each time he does it or fantasize about it, he is conditioning himself to thus act and in time the urge becomes very strong, irresistible and he becomes detached from reality to commit an act that harms himself and others.
ALL STYLISH EMOTIONAL PEOPLE HAVE SKELETONS IN THEIR CLOSETS, THEY HAVE PLANS TO COMMIT EVIL THAT THEY HAVE SUCCESSFULLY COMMITTED MANY TIMES IN THE PAST AND ESCAPED ACCOUNTABILITY BUT INCREASINGLY THEY ARE SLAVES OF THOSE ROBOTIC PLANS AND THE URGE TO CARRY OUT SO THAT WITH AGE, THEY STRUGGLE TO CONTROL THOSE IMPULSES THAT MAY BECOME EXPLOSIVE AND SO IN A MOMENT OF ‘INDISCRETION’ OR INSANITY, THEY ARE SEIZED TO DO AND ACT THEY DONE OR FANTASIZE MANY TIMES BEFORE TO RUE IN BITTER REGRETS AFTERWARDS AND THEY DESERVE THEIR SUFFERING BECAUSE THEY HAVE HARMED OTHERS.
THE LESSON OF THE IMF CHIEF IS THAT THOSE WHO SIN ARE ROBOTS OF THEIR SINFUL ACTS THAT ARE PROGRAMS IN THEIR MINDS THAT THEY INCREASINGLY STRUGGLE TO RESTRAIN AND ONE DAY THEIR EVIL PLANS WILL SEIZE THEM TO COMMIT ACTS THAT ARE DISASTROUS FOR THEM.
Did Pak Lah try to nail Najib for murder?
In my analysis in the past I said that rather than Anwar as the culprit behind the prosecution involving the Altanturya case; Badawi, who was under pressure to step down, was the culprit responsible for prosecuting the Altanturya case instead of covering up in a potentially lethal ploy to politically kill Najib. Badawi as Homes Affairs minister should know about the Altanturya case and he chose to pursue it to take heat off himself and even to destroy Najib politically.
This release of diplomatic information by Wikileaks suggests my reasoning was correct.
IF THEY WANTED THEY COULD HAVE EASILY PUT THE LID ON THE ALTANTURYA CASE AND IT CANNOT BE AN ACCIDENT BUT THERE MUST BE AGENDA BEHIND ITS PROSECUTION.
Diplomatic cables released by WikiLeaks reveal that US embassy officials had discussed the possibility of a conspiracy against Najib.
(Free Malaysia Today) - His father had whispered something and the accused appeared agitated. When the court adjourned for recess, the accused banged and kicked the door, yelling: “You can die, Pak Lah! Die, Pak Lah! I am innocent. I am innocent.”
In a startling new twist to the Altantuya Shaariibuu murder case, WikiLeaks had revealed diplomatic cables hinting that former prime minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, known as Pak Lah, might had attempted to fix up his then deputy, Najib Tun Razak.
The case which haunts Najib to this day, had come close to derailing his ambition of becoming prime minister when one of his confidants, Abdul Razak Baginda, was charged with abetting the murder of the Mongolian national.
Razak was eventually acquitted while Najib had forced Abdullah to hand over the reins after Barisan Nasional’s (BN) dismal performance in the 2008 general election.
In the WikiLeaks disclosure to the Asian Sentinel, the conspiracy theory implicating Abdullah was found in a February 2008 cable from the US embassy’s political section chief Mark D Clark.
During the trial, Clark wrote, Razak “appeared uneasy throughout the morning session of court on Feb 20. Razak’s father, Abdullah Malim Baginda, had whispered something to him shortly before the trial had begun for the morning and apparently upset the accused.
“Razak remained quiet throughout the morning hearing, but just after the noon recess was called and as he was leaving the courtroom he kicked and banged the door and yelled ‘You can die, Pak Lah! Die, Pak Lah! I am innocent. I am innocent’. He was later seen crying before his lawyer while his mother attempted to comfort him.”
‘The Sun told to withdraw copies’
The embassy official also noted that local newspapers and the government news service Bernama had reported the outburt, but did not print his statements.
“The short-lived exception was the English language newspaper The Sun, which included the quotations from Razak in its early morning Feb 21 edition. Sources at the newspaper confirmed to us in confidence that the Ministry of Internal Security (Home Ministry) compelled The Sun to withdraw and recall thousands of copies of their first-run paper in which the original quote was included. Prime Minister Abdullah serves concurrently as Minister of Internal Security.”
Clark said that speculation was rife in Malaysia’s online community on what had sparked off the outburst, including conspiracy theories alleging that the Prime Minister’s Office had urged Razak to implicate Najib, and in return, the accused would be spared the guilty verdict and mandatory death sentence.
“Regardless, the Internal Security Ministry would want to limit any possibly inflammatory reference to the prime minister at the trial, and particularly at this juncture due to the proximity of Malaysia’s general election to be held on March 8.
“Any connection between the prime minister and the murder trial would be scandalous. The GOM (Government of Malaysia) reportedly has worked hard to ‘drive (the case) from public view’… and is not about to allow the case to influence the coming election,” read the cable.
Based on the cables provided by WikiLeaks, the Asian Sentinel reported that the US embassy here followed the trial closely and frequently discussed whether Najib was involved in the killing.
The diplomats, like much of the public, also speculated that the trial was being deliberately delayed and feared what one cable called “prosecutorial misconduct” that was being politically manipulated.
The embassy officials had based their concerns on sources within the prosecution, government and the political opposition.
‘Razak’s wife in contact with Anwar’
The cables, stated the report, were replete with accounts of a long series of meetings with Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim, who repeatedly told the Americans that Najib was connected to corrupt practices in the acquisition of submarines as well as the purchase of Sukhoi Su-MCM-30 Flanker fighter jets from Russia.
Anwar, it added, also called attention to Najib’s connection to the Altantuya case.
In a Jan 24, 2007 cable marked “secret”, it was written that “perceived irregularities on the part of prosecutors and the court, and the alleged destruction of some evidence, suggested to many that the case was subject to strong political pressure intended to protect Najib”.
On Feb 1, 2008, Clark wrote that a deputy prosecutor had informed him “there was almost no chance of winning guilty verdicts in the ongoing trial of defendants Razak, a close adviser to Najib, and two police officers. She described the trial as interminably long.”
“Clark called the trial a ‘a prosecutorial embarrassment’ from its inception, leading many to speculate that the ineptitude was by design. On the eve of the trial, Malaysia’s Attorney-General Abdul Gani Patail dropped his lead prosecutors and replaced them with less experienced attorneys. Similarly, a lead counsel for one of the defendants abruptly resigned before the trial ‘because of (political) attempts to interfere with a defence he had proposed, in particular to protect an unnamed third party.’”
The protracted nature of the case, Clark said, led “at least one regional newspaper to speculate that ‘the case is being deliberately delayed to drive it from public view. Malaysia’s daily newspapers rarely mention the case’s latest developments, and it is unprecedented in Malaysian judicial history that a murder trial could drag on for seven months and still not give the defence an opportunity to present its case. Such an environment has led many to conclude that the case was too politically sensitive to yield a verdict before the anticipated general election.”
One senator who saw pictures of Osama said it was ‘pretty gruesome’ and this is admission Osama was brutally murdered by the US.
IT IS NEVER AN ACCIDENT THE PICTURES OF A DEAD OSAMA ARE GRUESOME, IT REFLECTS THE BRUTAL VIOLENT MANNER HE WAS WILFULLY KILLED AND THE FACT THAT IT WAS DESCRIBED AS GRUESOME BY THE SENATOR IS TANTAMOUNT TO ADMISSION THE US BUTCHERED HIM AND THAT IS THE REASON THE PHOTOS ARE NOT RELEASED, FOR FEAR OF RETRIBUTION, NOT ‘WE DO NOT TROT OUT THIS STUFF AS TROPHY’
In an interview with CNN, Senator Inhofe agreed that the photos taken in the compound in Pakistan immediately after bin Laden was killed were "pretty gruesome".
"One of the shots went through an ear and out through the eye socket. Or it went in through the eye socket and out - then exploded," he said.
Is it a coincidence?
Is it a coincidence that the US should hate Osama and he should end up brutally violently murdered at the hands of its troops? Unless these troops showed remarkable restraint, it is likely they would have shot Osama mercilessly with as much venom as their pent up hate can muster and so it is not an accident Osama ended up looking gruesome.
If you dare kill him brutally you should be man enough to face the consequences whatever they may be by letting the world see what you have done. And so the US is behaving cowardly by concealing the photos in the hope of evading revenge.
It was said Osama’s only hope of being taken alive is if he was caught naked because American soldiers are so afraid to die they fear he may be wearing suicide jackets that put them at risk.
ALWAYS THE AMERICAN CREDO IS THAT I CAN KILL YOU BUT YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO KILL ME, BETTER YOU DIE BY MISTAKE THAN I DIE BECAUSE I FAILED TO KILL YOU BEFORE YOU KILLED ME.
Every nation has its karma, there are some nations that suffer more from war or famine (eg Iraq, war torn African states) than others (US, Japan, Australia), the sufferings of nations are not the same.
Rather than an accident, it may be the karma of people to be born in war torn or relatively affluent peaceful places.
As a result of America’s unrighteous, bullying, cheating and even murderous actions without accountability, it may be called upon to suffer even terribly in the future in propitiation.
EVERYTHING HAS A CAUSE AND JUST AS ALL INDIVIDUALS ARE CALLED TO ACCOUNT FOR THEIR ACTIONS, NATIONS TOO MAY BE CALLED TO ACCOUNT AND SUFFER FOR THEIR ACTIONS.
The US may face the financial barrel of the gun:
Many nations like China hold huge reserves of USD more than is necessary to trade with the world and the US and if these holders start to unload a substantial portion of their USD holdings, they could drive down the value of the USD even dramatically to near worthless values, the reasons they are not doing so at the moment is because they are desirous of exporting to the US to earn pieces of paper (USD) that they deem valuable and desirable.
WHAT IF THEY BEGIN TO LOSE FAITH IN EXPORTING TO EARN PIECES OF PAPER THE US PRINTS AND THEY DECIDE TO TRADE AMONGST THEMSELVES AND INTERNALLY RATHER THAN EXPORTING FOR PIECES OF PAPER THAT MAY TURN OUT TO BE TOILET PAPER LATER?
Not just these sovereign nations but many big entities, hedge funds, investment banks (Goldman, Morgan Stanley) are capable of and have big positions in the forex markets with view to making easy money based on the movements of currency (these people will sell their grandmothers if she is worth anything).
You can short a currency just as you can short a stock or commodity and so if there is a big momentum to short the USD then it will drive down the value of the USD very quickly even based on very low volumes and the idea is to buy back later to get more USD and these acquired greater numbers of USD can again be used to sell to drive down the USD so that with many cycles of selling high and buying back low, the speculators come to hold a massive pile of USD more than when they started whilst the US economy is crippled because its currency is worth much less and it has difficulty buying the commodities it needs (eg oil, food, Apple computers from China) whilst the world that has lost faith in trading with the US for worthless pieces of paper settle to trade amongst themselves with the US as a pariah in the periphery.
A NATION’S CURRENCY AND THAT INCLUDES THE USD CAN BE SHORTED AND SPECULATORS ARE MERCILESS CUT THROATS DEDICATED TO MAKING MONEY OUT OF NOTHING DOING NO USEFUL WORK. IT DOES MATTER IF THEY KILL THEIR GRANDMOTHERS, SO LONG AS THEY GAIN THEIR EASY MONEY.
THUS IF THERE IS ENOUGH MOMENTUM IN THE MARKETS AND THERE IS LOSS OF FAITH IN THE PIECES OF PAPER THE US PRINTS, THERE MAY BE A SNOWBALL SELLING OF USD THAT DRIVES IT DOWN SHARPLY SO THAT THESE SPECULATORS CAN BUY BACK MUCH MORE LATER AND THIS POOL OF INCREASED USD CAN AGAIN BE USED AS AMMUNITION TO SELL TO FURTHER DRIVE DOWN THE USD UNTIL IT IS CRIPPLED, THE US HAS EXHAUSTED ITS HOLDINGS OF YUANS, YENS AND WHATNOTS AND NOBODY WANTS TO GIVE THE US THESE CURRENCIES IN RETURN FOR USD.
US has put itself at the mercy of China:
The fool has a wrong understanding of a situation and so the US foolishly thinks nothing of increasingly indebting itself to the world (and China in particular) not realizing it is putting a noose around its neck and leaving itself at the mercy of others (China in particular).
THE US MAY STILL BE MILITARILY SUPERIOR TO CHINA (WHICH IS CATCHING UP) BUT IN THE EVENT OF HOSTILITY, CHINA CAN CRIPPLE THE US BECAUSE IT CAN OFFLOAD ITS HUGE PILE OF USD THAT WILL DEPLETE THE US’ RESERVES OF OTHER CURRENCIES (EURO, YEN, YUAN, ETC) SO THAT USD WILL PLUNGE IN VALUE FOR CHINA TO BUY BACK LATER IN MUCH GREATER QUANTITIES THAN WHEN IT STARTED OFF WITH AND THIS GREATER POOL OF USD CAN AGAIN BE USED TO ATTACK THE CURRENCY BY SELLING UNTIL THE USD IS MUCH DECIMATED IN VALUE AND CHINA HOLDS A GREATER POOL OF USD THAT GRANTS IT GREATER POWER OVER THE US LIKE A MAN HOLDING A GUN AT THE HEAD OF THE US.
UNLESS THE US WANTS TO PLAY FOUL, RESORT TO MILITARY ACTIONS AGAINST CHINA THEN IT HAS SLIPPED A NOOSE AROUND ITS NECK BY PERMITTING CHINA TO HOLD SO MUCH OF ITS CURRENCY THAT CAN BE USED TO ATTACK AND CRIPPLE IT. PRINTING MORE USD DOES NOT NEGATE SUCH ATTACKS AND DISTRUST OF THE USD MAY DRIVE NATIONS TO HOLD THE MINIMAL AMOUNT OF USD NECESSARY TO TRADE WITH THE US AND THE REST OF THE WORLD OR THEY MAY VOTE TO CREATE A WORLD CURRENCY RATHER THAN USE THE UNRELIABLE USD.
IT IS CHINA NOT THE US NOW THAT IS HOLDING THE TRUMP CARD. THE FOOL KEEP PRINTING MONEY TO BUY FROM THE WORLD NOT REALIZING THAT SUCH FECKLESS ACTIONS HAVE GRAVE FUTURE CONSEQUENCES.
No escape for the US:
Because the USD is the currency that is used domestically and in trade with the rest of world and foreigners (especially China) holds vast reserves of it, the US cannot escape by printing a different currency or keep printing more but must live with a gun pointed at its head of others holding vast sums of its own currency, its own blood. No matter how you try to dilute your own blood others still hold a significant portion of your own blood.
Thus if things turn nasty, China has enough ammunition in USD to keep selling to exhaust the US of its foreign reserves that will cause the value of the USD in foreign currencies to collapse and then if it wished, China could rebuy those now dirt cheap USD to rebuild its arsenal of USD to levels even greater than before until the US is crippled, down on its knees.
THE US CAN KEEP PRINTING MORE USD BUT IF THE WORLD DOES NOT DESIRE TO CONVERT THEIR CURRENCIES TO USD, THERE IS LITTLE DEMAND FOR USD THEN IT IS AN EXERCISE IN FUTILITY JUST AS I CAN KEEP ON PRINTING MORE AND MORE OF MY CURRENCY BUT IF NO ONE IS INTERESTED IN BUYING MY CURRENCY, WHAT IS THE POINT?
May be worthless but still a deadly weapon:
The pile of USD that China holds may be worthless if the US cannot fulfil its promised obligations but it can be a tool to destroy the US by making it difficult if not impossible for the US to trade with the world.
THE US IS LIKE AN ALCOHOLIC WHO DOES NOT KNOW THE DANGERS IT WAS EXPOSING ITSELF BY PERMITTING THE REST OF THE WORLD TO HOLD SO MUCH USD. THE LURE IS THAT IT PERMITS THE US TO LIVE LIKE A LORD FAR MORE THAN IT ACTUALLY CAN AFFORD BUT THE PRICE IN THE AGONY OF FUTURE SUFFERING IS FAR WORSE.
IF IT WISHED, AND A TIME MAY COME IN EXASPERATION AND THE REALIZATION OF THE POINTLESSNESS OF EXPORTING TO THE US FOR A PILE OF PAPER THAT MAY BE WORTHLESS, THAT CHINA AND MANY OTHERS WILL START TO UNLOAD THE PILES OF USD THEY HOLD KNOWING AND INTENDING TO DRIVE DOWN (WITH IMPUNITY) THE VALUE OF THE USD AND IF THEY DON’T BUY USD, NOBODY COULD PUSH UP THE VALUE OF THE USD THEY DUMP (THE US MAY WANT TO BUY THE USD BEING DUMPED BUT WHERE IS IT GOING TO GET THE YUAN, YEN, EURO TO BUY?) AND WHEN THE VALUE OF THE USD HAS DROPPED MUCH THEN THEY WILL BUY MORE USD WITH FEWER YUANS EXACERBATING THE US’ DEBT BURDEN WITHOUT EVEN ANY GOODS EXCHANGED.
BECAUSE AMERICA CANNOT LIVE ALONE, NEEDS TO TRADE WITH THE WORLD, EVEN IF IT RENEGES ON ITS DEBT OBLIGATIONS, IT CAN BE BROUGHT TO ITS KNEES BY ECONOMIC WARFARE SHOULD FOREIGNERS DECIDE TO USE ITS USELESS PILE OF USD TO CRIPPLE ITS CAPACITY TO TRADE WITH THE WORLD.
Bin Laden shot in just his pants
James Inhofe spoke after seeing top-secret photos from the scene of the terror leader's shooting by US Navy Seals in Pakistan on May 2.
He said: "Two of them showed that he had what you would call underwear on, that was about it.
IT WAS SAID THAT THE ONLY WAY BIN LADEN COULD BE TAKEN ALIVE IS IF HE WAS NAKED (FOR FEAR HE BOOBY TRAPPED HIMSELF. THE FACT THAT HE WAS SHOT IN HIS UNDERPANTS PUT PAY TO WHATEVER CREDIBILITY THE IDEA THE US HAD INTENTIONS TO CAPTURE HIM ALIVE. WHAT KIND OF THREAT COULD A MAN IN HIS UNDERWEAR POSE AND SO THE MANNER OF HIS KILLING REVEALS THE MERCILESSNESS AND VENOM THAT WENT INTO HIS KILLING.OBAMA MURDERED OSAMA:
ULTIMATELY OBAMA AND NO ONE ELSE GAVE THE GO AHEAD TO KILL OSAMA, WITHOUT HIS AUTHORISATION NOBODY WOULD HAVE DONE IT AND SO YOU ARE LOOKING AT A KILLER IN OBAMA AND YOU THINK HE IS A BENIGN MAN?
TO ONE WHO DISCERNS, OBAMA IS NOT GOOD, NEITHER IS HIS WIFE WHO IS JUST ALL SHOW.
The difference between Wan Azizah & Michelle Obama:
There is substance in Wan Azizah, wife of Anwar but it is all a front, a façade, for show for Michelle Obama, for one who sees correctly.
Seals killed man because his hands were behind his backs:
As they (Seals) entered the house, they saw a man with his hands behind his back. Fearing that the man might be holding a weapon behind him, the commandos shot him dead.
It turned out that the man, who was the brother of Abu Ahmed al Kuwaiti and another suspected al Qaeda courier, was not holding a weapon, according to the two sources familiar with official accounts.
SEALS ARE VERY AFRAID TO DIE; THEY WILL RATHER KILL YOU FIRST THAN GIVE YOU ANY CHANCE TO KILL THEM.
KILLING ANOTHER MAN IS A VERY SERIOUSLY BUSINESS WITH DEADLY KARMA DUE AND SO IF YOU WANT TO KILL ANOTHER YOU SHOULD HAVE THE FAIRNESS OF PERMITTING HIM TO HAVE A FAIR GO AT YOU, IF YOU DON’T YOU ARE A COWARD NOT HERO.
IT IS NEVER JUSTIFIED TO SHOOT A MAN JUST BECAUSE YOU CANNOT SEE HIS HANDS, EVEN IF HE HAD A WEAPON, THERE IS PLENTY OF TIME TO KILL HIM BEFORE HE KILLED YOU BECAUSE YOUR WEAPON IS AIMED AT HIM WHILST HE IS PRODUCING HIS WEAPON. THUS IT IS AN ACT OF COWARDICE TO KILL ANOTHER EVEN BEFORE HE PRODUCES A WEAPON.
THIS IS THE CREED OF UGLY AMERICA, BIG BULLY WHO WILL KILL WITH PRESSED BUTTONS REMOTELY WHERE POSSIBLE AND IN SUCH CASES WHERE THEY HAVE TO GET PERSONAL LIKE KILLING BIN LADEN, THEY BLAST EVERYONE OF ANY THREAT OUT OF SIGHT RATHER THAN RISK A HAIR ON THEIR HEADS.
Not so heroic after all:
According to unofficial US accounts, only one person was armed and the people killed were unarmed and there was hardly any resistance.
Thus all this talk of how brave these highly trained Seals team is a myth, they met with little resistance and showed great unwarranted brutality in killing unarmed people. The helicopter was destroyed because of mechanical failure not fighting.
THESE SEALS MAY BE GREAT FIGHTING HEROES BUT IT TURNED OUT TO BE A CINCH ‘TAKING OUT BIN LADEN’ WITH LITTLE OR NO FIGHTING REQUIRED.
Modern cowboys without chivalry:
In the old Wild West, a man can be hanged for murder if he shot another in the back. For Seals to shoot a man dead because his hands are behind his back is murder. Just because he associates with Bin Laden does not make him guilty. Without questioning how do you know he is guilty and even if he is guilty does his guilt require an instant death sentence?
THUS SEALS KILLING A MAN BECAUSE HIS HANDS ARE BEHIND HIS BACK REFLECTS COWARDLY HASTINESS TO GUN DOWN ANOTHER BEFORE HE CAN GUN YOU DOWN EVEN WHEN HE IS ALREADY AT AN UNFAIR ADVANTAGE BECAUSE YOU HAVE A GUN TRAINED ON HIM WHILST HE HASN’T DRAWN YET.
Supposed you are a hunk and you beat up and killed a skinny man, is it any surprise you killed him instead of him killing you? Would you call that a fair fight or kill? If it was not a fair fight, might you be punished for unfairly killing a defenceless person?
WHAT MAKES AMERICANS THINK THEY ARE NOT EVIL AND BIN LADEN IS EVIL? THUS IF HE WAS UNARMED AND DEFENCELESS AND YOU GUNNED HIM DOWN THEN THAT IS AN UNFAIR KILLING AND THOSE WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE FACE COMMENSURATE PUNISHMENT.
THE RIGHT THING IS TO ARREST HIM AND BRING HIM TO JUSTICE AND LET THE COURT SENTENCE HIM TO DEATH RATHER THAT TAKE THE LAW IN YOUR HANDS AND SUMMARILY BRUTALLY KILL HIM. SO ANYONE WHO DEFENDS THE AMERICANS IN KILLING OSAMA HAS WRONG VIEW THAT IS THE WAY TO HELL OR THE ANIMAL WOMB. ALL KILLING IS EVIL BUT TO KILL A DEFENCELESS MAN EVEN IF HE IS EVIL IS BAD. AMERICANS ARE FAR FROM GOOD THEY LIKE TO THINK THEY ARE.
If Prophet Mohamad came back today:
This is another deluded piece by RPK, as if he knows what will happen if the prophet came back. What he is doing is unnecessarily conjecturing he thinks he knows what will happen if the prophet came back today when it is impossible he will know.
ALL FABRICATING OR CONJECTURING IS SUFFERING, FALSE AND LEADS TO INSANITY BECAUSE YOU ARE ACTING AS IF WHAT IS A FABRICATION OF YOUR MIND HAS REALITY, IS TRUE, WILL HAPPEN AS YOU IMAGINED.
PEOPLE THINK NOTHING ABOUT SPECULATING, CONJECTURING, FANTASIZING WHEN IT IS EVIL, DEADLY, DELIVERING YOURSELF INTO THE ARMS OF FALSITY AND SUFFERING. THERE IS AGAIN KARMA FOR HIM FOR ENCOURAGING OTHERS TO SIMILARLY FANTASIZE.
How Anwar may be spliced into sex tape:
Anwar was detained a few times and he was stripped for examination and these sessions may have been videotaped and such taped segments can be interposed to compromise Anwar eg the left side showed the genuine Anwar undressing in police lockup and the right side showing the prostitute.
The current farce over Christian moves to displace Islam shows the lengths these deranged people will go to achieve their ends and it would not be surprised if tapes exists of Anwar stripping in police lockup, it could be spliced to incriminate him.
The paybacks of a weak USD:
Having a weak USD may not be that fun or painless as some deluded people might perceive because the US becomes a slave to the world, getting less for their products and labors reversing the role with the Chinese who used to get paid dirt cheap for their labors whilst their imports from the world (commodities and products) are more expensive.
IT IS WISHFUL THINKING THAT A WEAK USD IS A PAINLESS SOLUTION TO THE TRADE IMBALANCES AND DEBTS THE US OWES THE REST OF THE WORLD BECAUSE IF THE USD FALLS SIGNIFICANTLY THEN THE US WILL REVERSE ROLES WITH CHINA WORKING FOR DIRT CHEAP PAY WHILST PAYING ‘THROUGH THE NOSE’ FOR DESIRED IMPORTS FROM THE WORLD. THIS CAN BE A QUITE PAINFUL OR UNPALATABLE COMBO NOT THE PAINLESS SOLUTION FANTASIZED.
AND IT WILL BE SOME TIME BEFORE THE US SEES ANY GENUINE PAYMENT BECAUSE IT OWES CHINA A LOT OF MONEY AND WILL HAVE TO CLEAR ALL THOSE DEBTS BEFORE IT GETS TRULY PAID.
The fool is lulled to abuse his position as owner of the international currency of trade to build up massive debts by keep printing money to fund purchases to live way beyond his means not realizing the borrowed money has been spent on useless perishable consumption and now as a result of his weak economic health, his currency is devalued and so he will have to slog at low pay to repay his debts (de facto working for free or no true pay) whilst he pays through his nose for exorbitantly priced imports. Should he buckle and collapse into a severe depression as a result of being unable to cope, the rest of the world too will be affected but then the situation is like checkmate or painting yourself into a corner. Who asked the US and the world to paint themselves into such a corner?
THE US HAS ALREADY SPENT MONEY THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RESERVED FOR THE FUTURE AND NOW IT IS HEAVILY IN DEBT TO THE WORLD AND WITH THE NOOSE NOW TIGHTENING AND THE USD WEAKENING, THE US MUST WORK FOR FREE (CANCELLATION OF THOSE DEBTS) WHILST GETTING PAID MUCH LESS BECAUSE OF THE WEAK USD WHILST HE IS FORCED TO PAY THROUGH THE NOSE FOR EXPENSIVE IMPORTS BECAUSE HIS USD IS WEAK. THIS MAY BREAK HIS BACK SO THAT HE SLUMS INTO A DEPRESSION PULLING THE REST OF THE WORLD WITH HIM.
JUST WHEN THE US NEEDS TO PAY BACK ITS MOUNTAINOUS DEBTS WITH THE WORLD THAT HAS BECOME TOO BIG TO SWEEP UNDER THE CARPET, IT IS HIT WITH THE DOUBLE WHAMMY OF GETTING PAID LOW FOR HIS LABORS AND HAVING TO PAY THROUGH HIS NOSE FOR IMPORTS BECAUSE OF A WEAK DOLLAR.
When it rains, it pours:
Lulled by the strong USD and the licence of being able to print at will to fund purchases, the fool (America) does not realize he is delivering himself into a deadly debt trap.
When his debts become too heavy to sweep under the carpet, his USD weakens so that he gets paid less just when he needs to repay his mountainous debts whilst he has to pay more for the goods he imports from the world. Whilst he is working to repay his mountainous debts, he will have to survive on nothing because whatever he gets paid will be used to cancel existing debts not fund purchases from the world.
Many ordinary people do not realize they are in a similar grave or dangerous position. They have a false sense of security not realizing there is terrible suffering in repayment ahead for them as a result of their present conduct.
This was said by the Blessed One: "Suppose a man was being carried along by the flow of a river, lovely & alluring. And then another man with good eyesight, standing on the bank, on seeing him would say: 'My good man, even though you are being carried along by the flow of a river, lovely & alluring, further down from here is a pool with waves & whirlpools, with monsters & demons. On reaching that pool you will suffer death or death-like pain.' Then the first man, on hearing the words of the second man, would make an effort with his hands & feet to go against the flow.
"I have given you this simile to illustrate a meaning. The meaning is this: the flow of the river stands for craving. Lovely & alluring stands for the six internal sense-media. The pool further down stands for the five lower fetters.* The waves stand for anger & distress. The whirlpools stand for the five strands of sensuality. The monsters & demons stand for the opposite sex. Against the flow stands for renunciation. Making an effort with hands & feet stands for the arousing of persistence. The man with good eyesight standing on the bank stands for the Tathagata, worthy & rightly self-awakened."
Even if it's with pain,
you should abandon sensual desires
if you aspire to future safety from bondage.
Alert, with a mind well-released,
touch release now here, now there.
An attainer-of-wisdom,
having fulfilled the holy life,
is said to have gone to the end of the world, gone

Paid lowly to cancel debts not fund purchases from the world:you should abandon sensual desires
if you aspire to future safety from bondage.
Alert, with a mind well-released,

Because the US owes China (and many countries) a lot of money, the money it gets paid lowly as a result of the weak USD cannot be used to fund purchases from the world but will have to go towards cancelling existing debts and so the US will not get paid for its lowly paid work for the world whilst it has to pay ‘through its nose’ to buy from the world because of a weak USD. This is a burden that may be too much for US citizens accustomed to unfettered consumption and little work.
The reality of US’ balance of accounts with the world:
How does the US accumulate such a huge deficit or debt with the rest of the world?
- When other nations sell goods to the US, it issues USD that is happily accepted by these nations as valid payment and they stash their paid USD in US assets like treasury bills.
- When people for reasons of safe haven deposit their valuables eg proceeds from corruption, drug dealing, Mafia dealings, Chinese Malaysians stashing money overseas for fear of unrest choose the US as safe haven, they have to convert their valuables and money into USD, giving the US in return ringgits or yuans or whatever in exchange for USD that the US can then spend to fund purchases from Malaysia using ringgits or purchases from China using yuans.
- It is said that $600 billion USD circulate outside the US because the USD is widely accepted even preferred in many places in the world and in underworld activities and this money is circulating in exchange for valuables given to the US treasury in return. Although the US’ responsibilities end should the USD in your possession be destroyed (eg fire or flood), it is still a loan and should these people want their money back (in foreign currencies) the US has the obligation to return the foreign currency from reserves of that currency it holds or if someone wants to convert from ringgit to USD the ringgit collected is used to repay someone who wants to exit USD.
Should the USD weaken as it is now, then should US goods be unchanged in price it would make US goods cheaper and more attractive on the world markets but would not make it easier for the US to repay its debts to the world but it would have to pay more in USD to get goods and services from the rest of the world.
WHEN THE USD WEAKENS, THE DEBTS OF THE US WITH THE WORLD REMAINS THE SAME BECAUSE IT IS DENOMINATED IN USD, ALTHOUGH THE GOODS IT SELLS BECOMES MORE ATTRACTIVE BECAUSE THEY ARE CHEAPER, IF PRICES ARE UNCHANGED NOT RAISED, THE US GETS THE SAME AMOUNTS OF USD TO REPAY ITS EXISTING DEBTS BUT IT WILL HAVE TO PAY MORE USD TO GET GOODS AND SERVICES FROM THE WORLD.
THE VALUE OF ITS FUTURE DEBTS RISES FASTER BECAUSE IT WILL HAVE TO ISSUE MORE USD TO BUY GOODS IN CREDIT FROM OTHER COUNTRIES.
SHOULD FOREIGNERS WANT TO EXIT THE US, THEY WILL GET LESS FOREIGN CURRENCY FOR EVERY USD THEY RETURN, THUS IF CHINA WANTS OUT, IT WILL GET LESS YUAN FOR EVERY USD IT RETURNS TO THE US COMPARED WITH IN THE PAST. IF THE USD BECOMES TOILET ROLL, CHINA WILL GET NO YUANS FOR THE USD IT HOLDS.
SHOULD THERE BE A RUN ON THE US CURRENCY WITH THE VALUE OF THOSE WANTING TO EXIT GREATER THAN FOREIGN RESERVES THAT THE US HOLDS, THEN THE VALUE OF THE USD WILL DROP EVEN PLUNGE AND THE US WILL BE UNABLE TO FULFILL ITS OBLIGATIONS WITHOUT BORROWING IN THAT CURRENCY BECAUSE IT DOES NOT PRINT THAT CURRENCY. THUS IF THE US RUNS OUT OF YUANS TO MEET DEMAND, CHINA WOULD HAVE TO SELL YUANS TO BUY USD TO HELP THE US OUT OR ELSE THE US WOULD BE INSOLVENT.
The fabulous windfalls of being a world reserve currency:
There are considerable windfall wealth to be gained in being a world reserve or settlement currency and despite such considerable wealth accrued without sweat, the US has managed to rack up massive debts indicating its feckless nature and its wealth and pre-eminent position is ill-gotten not meritorious.
A lot if not all the trade between nations are settled in USD and so there is demand for USD to settle accounts even amongst nations not involving the US and so these nations must hold sizeable USD reserves to meet trade demands and these USD reserves held by many countries in the world is de facto a pool of considerable wealth lent to the US government. Even though there is a flux of money changing into and out of USD, at any moment there is a lot of money in transit denominated in USD and this represents a considerable permanent loan to the US government.
STRIPPED OFF ITS ROLE AS RESERVE OR TRADE CURRENCY, THE US WILL BE CONSIDERABLY POORER THAN IT NOW IS.
THERE ARE MANY BENEFITS OR WINDFALLS FROM BEING THE CURRENCY OF TRADE:
- NATIONS HAVE TO HAVE SUBSTANTIAL USD RESERVES IN ORDER TO FUND TRADING AND THIS IS A POOL OF MONEY LENT TO THE US TREASURY.
- CONSIDERING THE VOLUME OF TRADE WORLD WIDE, EVEN THOUGH MONEY DOES NOT BELONG TO THE US, IS ONLY IN TRANSIT AND BEING CONVERTED INTO AND OUT OF USD TO SETTLE TRADE, IT IS A VAST POOL OF MONEY OR TRANSIENT WEALTH LENT TO THE US TREASURY.
- A LOT OF PEOPLE OUTSIDE THE US PREFER TO USE THE USD IN COMMERCE & CRIME AND IT IS SAID $600 BILLION PHYSICAL DOLLARS CIRCULATE WORLDWIDE OUTSIDE THE US AND THIS IS A LOAN TO THE US.
- BECAUSE THE US IS DEEMED AS A SAFE HAVEN, MANY PEOPLE STASH THEIR WEALTH IN THE US AND THIS AGAIN IS A MASSIVE LOAN TO THE US.
THUS A LOT OF THE WEALTH DOES NOT TRULY BELONG TO THE US, IS ACTUALLY LENT TO THE US MORE THAN THE OFFICIAL DEBTS LISTED WITH INDIVIDUAL COUNTRIES LIKE CHINA, JAPAN, ETC.
IN TRUTH THE US OWES THE WORLD FAR MORE MONEY THAN OFFICIALLY ACKNOWLEDGED BECAUSE BEING A RESERVE CURRENCY, MANY NATIONS ARE FORCED TO HOLD USD (THERE IS NO NEED FOR GERMANY TO HOLD RINGGIT BECAUSE ALL ITS TRADE WITH MALAYSIA IS SETTLED IN USD), THE WORLDWIDE POOL OF MONEY IN TRANSIT IN USD AS TRADE SETTLEMENT BETWEEN NATIONS IS A MASSIVE LOAN TO THE US TREASURY, THE PHYSICAL USD CIRCULATING OUTSIDE THE US (600 BILLION USD) IS ANOTHER MASSIVE LOAN AND MANY RICH PEOPLE STASH THEIR WEALTH IN THE US (THAT MAY BE WITHDRAWN).
DESPITE SUCH WINDFALLS OR LARGESSE, THE US HAS STILL MANAGED TO INCUR MASSIVE DEBTS WITH THE WORLD INDICATING ITS IRRESPONSIBLE PROFLIGACY AND SHORN OF THIS WEALTH, THE US IS MUCH MORE PUNY THAN IT APPEARS TO BE.
The euro takes part of USD’s free lunch:
Individually the European nations do not have the weight to counter the US but together, with a common currency, it commands much greater clout and credibility as a viable alternative trade settlement currency that will take a slice of the free lunch that hitherto the US has quietly gobbled.
Thus with the euro, the European nations did not have to use the USD to settle trade amongst themselves and between the Eurozone and direct trading partners, further the euro is a viable reserve currency for others to use to settle trade amongst themselves rather than use the USD.
JUST AS A SHEEP SHORN OFF ITS WOOL LOOKS SKINNY, IN THE SAME WAY, THE US SHORN OFF THE LARGESSE OR FREE LUNCH OF ACTING AS GLOBAL CURRENCY OF TRADE CAN LOOK VERY SKINNY.
USA not so great after all:
How much the US pre-eminence and wealth is merited and how much is ill-gotten by bullying, by feeding like a glutton at the table, by having a free lunch off the world (from its role as reserve currency), by keep printing worthless money to finance its purchases from the world can be objectively known, if not by you or me then by God.
IF MUCH OF THE GLORY IS UNMERITED AND YOU FLOUT YOURSELF, ACT AS IF YOU ARE SO GREAT, THERE WILL BE PAIN DOWN THE LINE IN PROPITIATION AND SO IT IS AMERICA MAY BE HEADED FOR A RECKONING WITH KARMA AND SUFFERING IT NEVER DREAMT IS POSSIBLE. YOU THINK YOU ARE SO GREAT, YOU MAY BE PUT TO THE TEST (AND OBVIOUSLY FOUND WANTING).
It is a loan not a gift:
When people outside the US prefer to buy and sell with USD rather than the local currency, the value stored in the USD is a loan not a gift to the US treasury.
When China deposits a lot of money in US treasury bills, it is a loan not a gift.
Because it is a loan not a gift, you should protect the value of the loan in your safekeeping and if you fail to protect it so that the lender receives much less for his loan later, you are liable for shirking your responsibility.
SUPPOSE THE USD COLLAPSES IN VALUE SO THAT THOSE OUTSIDE THE US WILL GET MUCH LESS VALUE WHEN THEY TURN IN THEIR USD FOR FOREIGN CURRENCIES OR CHINA GETS MUCH LESS WHEN IT CASHES OUT OF ITS US TREASURY BILLS.
THE VIEW IN THIS WORLD IS WHO ASKS YOU TO KEEP USD AND TREASURY BILLS, TOUGH LUCK.
BUT IF IT IS THROUGH RECKLESSNESS THAT YOU CAUSED THE USD TO FALL DRASTICALLY IN VALUE THEN YOU ARE GUILTY IN CAUSING BY RECKLESSNESS OR FOLLY THE VALUE OF THE DOLLAR TO FALL AND ITS HOLDERS TO SUFFER LOSS.
WHENEVER MONEY IS ENTRUSTED IN YOUR CUSTODY YOU HAVE A DUTY TO PROTECT IT. IF INSTEAD YOU TREAT IT AS A FREE GIFT, SPENT IT ALL OR DEBASED IT SO THAT WHEN ITS OWNERS WANT TO REDEEM IT THEY GET MUCH LESS, YOU MAY CLAIM INNOCENCE BUT YOU MAY BE LIABLE FOR PUNISHMENT BY DIVINE LAW. THE FOOL IS EVER READY TO KEEP OTHERS’ MONEY IN HIS CUSTODY AND GIVE ASSURANCES, THE WISE PERSON WOULD HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH OTHER PEOPLE’S MONEY BECAUSE IN KEEPING HE HAS GRAVE RESPONSIBILITY AND DUTY TO PROTECT IT.
US printing money is wilful defacement:
If it is true the US kept printing money to finance its purchases from the world and it is now furiously printing money to prevent the system from collapsing, then if these are the causes of the USD falling drastically in value causing foreigners who hold USD and US treasury bills to sustain significant losses when they exit, the US is not blameless but to blame for causing these people to sustain losses.
IF THE US IS GUILTY OF PRINTING MONEY TO FUND ITS IMPORTS AND IT IS NOW MASSIVELY PRINTING TO SHORE UP THE SYSTEM, THEN IT IS GUILTY OF CAUSING FOREIGN HOLDERS OF USD AND HOLDERS OF US TREASURY BILLS TO SUSTAIN LOSSES WHEN THEY SWITCH OUT OF THE US. BECAUSE IT IS TO BE BLAMED, IT IS LIABLE TO PUNISHMENT AND SUFFERING.
China will lose and suffer, might not the US pay?If as a result of US reckless printing of money to fund its trade deficits and now reckless printing to cover shortfalls, China and other foreign holders of US treasury bills suffer serious losses for which the US is blameworthy, might not the US be punished, be called upon to suffer for causing others’ losses, for dereliction of duty failing to look after others’ money entrusted to it?
THUS IF THERE IS DIVINE JUDGMENT AND ACCOUNTABILITY, JUST AS CHINA SUFFERS LOSSES AS A RESULT OF US DERELICTION, THE US MAY AND CAN BE CALLED UPON TO SUFFER IN PROPITIATION. IRAQ WAS NOT SUFFERING TOO BAD WITH SADDAM, NOW ITS CITIZENS ARE TERRORIZED BY STREET BOMBS AND LAWLESSNESS. IN THE SAME WAY, ALL IS ‘FINE’ NOW WITH THE US BUT IT MAY NOT REMAIN SO FOREVER.
United Mahathir National Organization:
To understand the nature of today’s UMNO and things it will do to get what it wants, one must realize that today’s UMNO had been purged by Dr M and now moulded even indelibly (cannot be reverted) in his image.
The sole purpose of dissolving UMNO in 1988 was so that UMNO could be reconstituted with Dr M in charge and reapplications for membership would be screened to exclude those unfriendly to him and did not share his creeds.
In the aftermath of the UMNO elections of 1988 in which Dr M narrowly beat his challenger Tengku Razaleigh, it was found that there were irregularities in the membership of some divisions and so the vote was compromised, there was a court challenge by Razaleigh’s supporters and the judge surprised those with common sense by declaring UMNO illegal as a result of the election rather than calling for fresh elections that would disadvantage Dr M. Subsequently Razaleigh’s faction was denied right to register a party under UMNO name but Dr M’s faction unsurprisingly got approval to register UMNO baru. I think in tandem with this crisis was a judiciary crisis in which the Supreme court judges were all dismissed, Tun Salleh Abbas was dismissed for allegedly committing an impropriety.
TODAY’S UMNO IS MOULDED IN THE IMAGE OF DR M, UMNO WAS PURGED BY DR M AND THIS EXPLAINS ITS NATURE AND ACTIONS TODAY. DR M ACCUSED THE TUNKU OF MANY THINGS IN OPEN LETTERS DESIGNED TO INFLAME AND TOPPLE THE TUNKU IN THE AFTERMATH OF THE 1969 ELECTIONS. HE ACCUSED THE TUNKU OF THE ABUSE OF POWER. DID DR M ABUSE HIS POWERS AND TO WHAT SCALE COMPARED WITH THE TUNKU?
Raising the US debt ceiling:
There is a standoff or impasse facing the US congress regarding authorizing the US government to borrow more because the US has reached the limits of its current debt and need to borrow more in order to survive.
CONGRESS HAS ALREADY MANY TIMES VOTED IN THE PAST TO ALLOW THE US GOVERNMENT TO BORROW MORE (BY PRINTING USD) IN ORDER TO SURVIVE AND IT KEEPS COMING BACK FOR MORE LIKE THE ALCOHOLIC COMING BACK FOR MORE AND MORE ALCOHOL.
IF CONGRESS DOES NOT APPROVE, IT MEANS FUNDING CUTS AND THREATS OF A MELTDOWN. IF CONGRESS APPROVES IT MEANS POSTPONING AND EXACERBATING THE FUTURE DEBT RECKONING.
THE US IS BEHAVING LIKE AN OSTRICH WITH ITS HEAD BURIED IN THE SAND, NEEDING TO INCREASE ITS BORROWING IN A DANGEROUS SPIRAL EVEN AS IT HAS SERIOUS UNFUNDED OBLIGATIONS LIKE RETIREMENT AND HEALTH FUNDING.
THUS THE US MAY BE LIVING ON BORROWED TIME, DESPERATELY BORROWING MORE TO STAVE OF INSOLVENCY.
Sodomy II: Will Anwar be acquitted or called to enter defence?
This question posed reflects a false understanding of the situation and has deadly karma for the poser.
The truth of the matter is decision on Anwar’s case looms, not whether he will be acquitted or not, a question she cannot answer unless she is privy to information and if it is even a foregone conclusion that Anwar will be called to make his defence, by asking the question you are implying that the decision will be based on objective yet to be determined premises.
THE REALITY OF WHAT IS HAPPENING IS NOT ‘WILL ANWAR BE ACQUITTED OR NOT’ BUT A DECISION WHETHER TO ACQUIT ANWAR LOOMS. THERE IS A VITAL OR DEADLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO VERSIONS AND IF YOU THINK THEY ARE THE SAME YOU HAVE WRONG UNDERSTANDING THAT IS THE WAY TO HELL OR THE ANIMAL WOMB.
IT IS WRONG TO ASK A QUESTION THAT CANNOT BE ANSWERED BY ANYONE, IT IS ASKING OTHERS TO COURT INSANITY BY SPECULATING, BY ATTEMPTING TO ANSWER A QUESTION THEY CANNOT KNOW.
POSING THE QUESTION MAKES IT APPEAR AS IF WHETHER ANWAR WILL BE CHARGED IS IN DOUBT WHEN KNOWING WHAT HAS HAPPENED, THERE MAY BE LITTLE OR NO DOUBT ABOUT THE OUTCOME AND IT IS ASKING FOR KARMA POSING THIS QUESTION AS IF IT IS SUCH A SUSPENSE.
The karma of asking questions:
All questions require answers, either mentally or physically.
Thus by asking others a question, “Will Anwar be acquitted or called to make his defence” you are asking others to speculate, conjecture when it is totally unnecessary and even if they tried, they cannot supply the true answer which has to await the court announcement.
THUS IT IS NEVER TRUE UNDERSTANDING THAT IS THE BASIS OF THE QUESTION BUT IT IS EMOTION, THE QUESTION IS DRIVEN BY EMOTION (NOT REASON) TARGETTED AT STIRRING READER’S EMOTIONS AND THAT IS KARMA TO BE EXPERIENCED AS FUTURE SUFFERING.
EVEN THE STATEMENT ‘ANWAR TO KNOW HIS FATE’ DOES NOT REFLECT REALITY WHICH IS COURT DECISION OR RULING TODAY, NOT ANWAR TO KNOW HIS FATE WHICH HAS THE TENDENCY TO STIR EMOTION.
YOU MEAN THEY HAVE COME THIS FAR TO ACQUIT ANWAR TO GIVE HIM A TRIUMPH THAT UPHOLDS ANWAR’S HONOR?
THE FOOL IS EAGER TO ASKS OTHERS QUESTIONS, THE WISE PERSON ASKS SPARINGLY WITH REASON ONLY PERTINENT QUESTIONS.
It would be astounding if Anwar was acquitted:
If the sodomy charge was true, you think they will let Anwar off the hook?
If the sodomy charge was fabricated, after such great lengths, would they turn back and exonerate Anwar thereby handing Anwar a victory to parade before the public?
IT IS GROSS POOR JUDGMENT TO ASK THE QUESTION AS IF IT IS IN GREAT DOUBT OR SUSPENSE WHEN SOMEONE WHO HAS A RIGHT UNDERSTANDING OF ALL THAT HAS HAPPENED WILL KNOW WHAT THE LIKELY OUTCOME IS.
The price for asking a foolish question:
As I expected, it was a mere formality, Anwar has been called to make his defence.
It is astounding if not impossible that the ruling elite would humiliate itself and handle Anwar a victory by acquitting him.
IF YOU ASK A FOOLISH QUESTION YOU ARE FOOLISH. FOOLISHNESS IS NOT THE WAY TO HEAVEN AND SAFETY BUT TO TORMENT EVEN ETERNALLY.
Irresistible iPad2:
This is a false statement because many including me can resist it. You may think nothing about it but you are speaking carelessly and Jesus said you will be judged for every careless word you (emotionally) say.
‘IRRESISTIBLE’ IS MEANINGLESS, IT IS ABOUT STIRRING OF MENTAL FORCE THAT IS BLIND SO THAT THE PERSON IS STRONGLY ATTRACTED TO AND WANT TO POSSESS THE IPAD2. THE IPAD IS EITHER GOOD, VERY GOOD OR BAD, WHAT IS THERE TO RESIST OR NOT EXCEPT IN YOUR FALSE PERCEPTION THAT WILL END IN MAD PERCEPTION.
IT IS NEVER THE IPAD2 THAT IS IRRESISTIBLE BUT THE PERSON’S FOOLISHLY BLINDLY STIRRED MENTAL FORCE THAT MAKES IT SO.
US debt hits $14.3 trillion:
Quote: The Treasury Department is expected to hit its $14.3 trillion borrowing limit on Monday, making it unable to access bond markets again.
Despite the unfair advantage of a permanent interest free loan from the world by virtue of its position as currency of trade (countries must stock USD for trade contingencies and there is a vast pool of USD in transit as people convert into and out of USD to consummate trade transactions) and billions of USD circulating the globe, the US has managed to rack up such mountainous debts that still leaves unaccounted health and pension obligations.
YOU CALL THIS A SAFE HAVEN FOR YOUR MONEY? IT AGAIN REFLECTS FAILURE TO UNDERSTAND THAT OTHER NATIONS ARE STILL WILLING TO LEND TO THE US TO LIVE WAY BEYOND ITS MEANS AND WILLING TO STASH THEIR WEALTH THERE.
The IMF chief lesson:
One moment he is high and mighty, now his world is upside down, shamed and even maybe suicidal. How he may wish he can turn back the clock but he is not a master of himself but a slave of evil impulses that are getting increasingly malignant or uncontrollable.
This is not the first time he has done this, he has attacked and raped women and escaped in the past, as allegations are surfacing.
He is actually a robot with plans to violently attack women and each time he does it or fantasize about it, he is conditioning himself to thus act and in time the urge becomes very strong, irresistible and he becomes detached from reality to commit an act that harms himself and others.
ALL STYLISH EMOTIONAL PEOPLE HAVE SKELETONS IN THEIR CLOSETS, THEY HAVE PLANS TO COMMIT EVIL THAT THEY HAVE SUCCESSFULLY COMMITTED MANY TIMES IN THE PAST AND ESCAPED ACCOUNTABILITY BUT INCREASINGLY THEY ARE SLAVES OF THOSE ROBOTIC PLANS AND THE URGE TO CARRY OUT SO THAT WITH AGE, THEY STRUGGLE TO CONTROL THOSE IMPULSES THAT MAY BECOME EXPLOSIVE AND SO IN A MOMENT OF ‘INDISCRETION’ OR INSANITY, THEY ARE SEIZED TO DO AND ACT THEY DONE OR FANTASIZE MANY TIMES BEFORE TO RUE IN BITTER REGRETS AFTERWARDS AND THEY DESERVE THEIR SUFFERING BECAUSE THEY HAVE HARMED OTHERS.
THE LESSON OF THE IMF CHIEF IS THAT THOSE WHO SIN ARE ROBOTS OF THEIR SINFUL ACTS THAT ARE PROGRAMS IN THEIR MINDS THAT THEY INCREASINGLY STRUGGLE TO RESTRAIN AND ONE DAY THEIR EVIL PLANS WILL SEIZE THEM TO COMMIT ACTS THAT ARE DISASTROUS FOR THEM.
Did Pak Lah try to nail Najib for murder?
In my analysis in the past I said that rather than Anwar as the culprit behind the prosecution involving the Altanturya case; Badawi, who was under pressure to step down, was the culprit responsible for prosecuting the Altanturya case instead of covering up in a potentially lethal ploy to politically kill Najib. Badawi as Homes Affairs minister should know about the Altanturya case and he chose to pursue it to take heat off himself and even to destroy Najib politically.
This release of diplomatic information by Wikileaks suggests my reasoning was correct.
IF THEY WANTED THEY COULD HAVE EASILY PUT THE LID ON THE ALTANTURYA CASE AND IT CANNOT BE AN ACCIDENT BUT THERE MUST BE AGENDA BEHIND ITS PROSECUTION.
Diplomatic cables released by WikiLeaks reveal that US embassy officials had discussed the possibility of a conspiracy against Najib.
(Free Malaysia Today) - His father had whispered something and the accused appeared agitated. When the court adjourned for recess, the accused banged and kicked the door, yelling: “You can die, Pak Lah! Die, Pak Lah! I am innocent. I am innocent.”
In a startling new twist to the Altantuya Shaariibuu murder case, WikiLeaks had revealed diplomatic cables hinting that former prime minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, known as Pak Lah, might had attempted to fix up his then deputy, Najib Tun Razak.
The case which haunts Najib to this day, had come close to derailing his ambition of becoming prime minister when one of his confidants, Abdul Razak Baginda, was charged with abetting the murder of the Mongolian national.
Razak was eventually acquitted while Najib had forced Abdullah to hand over the reins after Barisan Nasional’s (BN) dismal performance in the 2008 general election.
In the WikiLeaks disclosure to the Asian Sentinel, the conspiracy theory implicating Abdullah was found in a February 2008 cable from the US embassy’s political section chief Mark D Clark.
During the trial, Clark wrote, Razak “appeared uneasy throughout the morning session of court on Feb 20. Razak’s father, Abdullah Malim Baginda, had whispered something to him shortly before the trial had begun for the morning and apparently upset the accused.
“Razak remained quiet throughout the morning hearing, but just after the noon recess was called and as he was leaving the courtroom he kicked and banged the door and yelled ‘You can die, Pak Lah! Die, Pak Lah! I am innocent. I am innocent’. He was later seen crying before his lawyer while his mother attempted to comfort him.”
‘The Sun told to withdraw copies’
The embassy official also noted that local newspapers and the government news service Bernama had reported the outburt, but did not print his statements.
“The short-lived exception was the English language newspaper The Sun, which included the quotations from Razak in its early morning Feb 21 edition. Sources at the newspaper confirmed to us in confidence that the Ministry of Internal Security (Home Ministry) compelled The Sun to withdraw and recall thousands of copies of their first-run paper in which the original quote was included. Prime Minister Abdullah serves concurrently as Minister of Internal Security.”
Clark said that speculation was rife in Malaysia’s online community on what had sparked off the outburst, including conspiracy theories alleging that the Prime Minister’s Office had urged Razak to implicate Najib, and in return, the accused would be spared the guilty verdict and mandatory death sentence.
“Regardless, the Internal Security Ministry would want to limit any possibly inflammatory reference to the prime minister at the trial, and particularly at this juncture due to the proximity of Malaysia’s general election to be held on March 8.
“Any connection between the prime minister and the murder trial would be scandalous. The GOM (Government of Malaysia) reportedly has worked hard to ‘drive (the case) from public view’… and is not about to allow the case to influence the coming election,” read the cable.
Based on the cables provided by WikiLeaks, the Asian Sentinel reported that the US embassy here followed the trial closely and frequently discussed whether Najib was involved in the killing.
The diplomats, like much of the public, also speculated that the trial was being deliberately delayed and feared what one cable called “prosecutorial misconduct” that was being politically manipulated.
The embassy officials had based their concerns on sources within the prosecution, government and the political opposition.
‘Razak’s wife in contact with Anwar’
The cables, stated the report, were replete with accounts of a long series of meetings with Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim, who repeatedly told the Americans that Najib was connected to corrupt practices in the acquisition of submarines as well as the purchase of Sukhoi Su-MCM-30 Flanker fighter jets from Russia.
Anwar, it added, also called attention to Najib’s connection to the Altantuya case.
In a Jan 24, 2007 cable marked “secret”, it was written that “perceived irregularities on the part of prosecutors and the court, and the alleged destruction of some evidence, suggested to many that the case was subject to strong political pressure intended to protect Najib”.
On Feb 1, 2008, Clark wrote that a deputy prosecutor had informed him “there was almost no chance of winning guilty verdicts in the ongoing trial of defendants Razak, a close adviser to Najib, and two police officers. She described the trial as interminably long.”
“Clark called the trial a ‘a prosecutorial embarrassment’ from its inception, leading many to speculate that the ineptitude was by design. On the eve of the trial, Malaysia’s Attorney-General Abdul Gani Patail dropped his lead prosecutors and replaced them with less experienced attorneys. Similarly, a lead counsel for one of the defendants abruptly resigned before the trial ‘because of (political) attempts to interfere with a defence he had proposed, in particular to protect an unnamed third party.’”
The protracted nature of the case, Clark said, led “at least one regional newspaper to speculate that ‘the case is being deliberately delayed to drive it from public view. Malaysia’s daily newspapers rarely mention the case’s latest developments, and it is unprecedented in Malaysian judicial history that a murder trial could drag on for seven months and still not give the defence an opportunity to present its case. Such an environment has led many to conclude that the case was too politically sensitive to yield a verdict before the anticipated general election.”
