Taxpayers Fork Out £60,000 For Minister's Dinner Party ... To Discuss The Credit Crunch

Ministers have been condemned for throwing a £3,000-a-head dinner party - to discuss the economic slump.

Culture Secretary Andy Burnham ran up the £60,000 bill so he could discuss the effect of the credit crunch on 'creative industries' with 20 guests, including BBC Director General Mark Thompson and Channel 4 chief executive Andy Duncan.

Last night the Conservatives said the lavish bash showed how 'out of touch' the Government had become with the hardships endured by ordinary people.

Something Is Happening Of Historic Proportions

I am a student of history. Professionally. I have written 15 books in six languages, and have studied it all my life. I think there is something monumentally large afoot, and I do not believe it is just a banking crisis, or a mortgage crisis, or a credit crisis. Yes these exist, but they are merely single facets on a very large gemstone that is only now coming into a sharper focus.

Something of historic proportions is happening. I can sense it because I know how it feels, smells, what it looks like, and how people react to it. Yes, a perfect storm may be brewing, but there is something happening within our country that has been evolving for about ten - fifteen years. The pace has dramatically quickened in the past two.

Credit Crunch: Occult Colonization of the Developed World?

How did the Rothschilds manage to emerge relatively unscathed from the financial meltdown?

"You could say that we may have more insights than others," Baron David de Rothschild coyly told a reporter during a recent visit to Dubai.

Does "more insights than others" include being personally responsible for the financial meltdown?

"World events do not occur by accident," Denis Healey, former British Defense Secretary said. "They are made to happen... staged and managed by those who hold the purse string."

According to another insider, the Illuminati were responsible for the last Depression too. For hundreds of years, mankind has been force-fed a diet of depression, war, Communism, division, depravity and dysfunction by central bankers like the Rothschilds. They want to translate their monopoly over our government's credit into a total monopoly over power, culture and religion, i.e. the New World Order.

More Than A Million Homeowners Use The Credit Card To Pay Off The Mortgage And The Gas Bills

More than one million homeowners have resorted to taking out cash on their credit cards to pay their mortgage and essential bills, research suggests today.
A report accuses the banks of 'cashing in' on their customers who are 'desperate to get their hands on cash whatever the price'.
Withdrawing cash on a credit card is incredibly expensive, and involves a much higher interest rate than using a credit card to go shopping.
Typically, you are charged two per cent of the cash amount taken out, or a minimum of £5, and interest starts clocking up immediately.
On average, the APR (annual percentage rate) is a crippling 30 per cent. It has shot up in recent years from just 21.2 per cent in 2005.
The report, from the price comparison website Uswitch.com, found soaring numbers of borrowers are relying on getting out cash in this 'emergency' method.

Australia In For Rough Ride As Nightmare On Wall Street Continues Unabated

Australia could face a rough ride over the next few months after the financial meltdown in the United States, with local banks less likely to pass on in full any cuts to official interest rates and those nearing retirement age facing a devaluation of their nest eggs.
The local sharemarket closed 4.3 per cent lower yesterday, after falling to its worst level in almost three years and losing about $55billion in value.
AMP Capital Investors chief economist Shane Oliver said, ''For investors generally I think it is going to remain a fairly rough ride for some time to come.''
Australian stocks fell after US President George W. Bush failed to get approval from the US House of Representatives for a $US700billion ($A866 billion) Wall Street bail-out plan to support the nation's financial system.
The volatility in financial markets is expected to put pressure on the Reserve Bank of Australia to cut its official interest rate when it meets next Tuesday with markets now mulling over the chance of a 50 basis point cut.

Who Will Speak For Us?

The short answer is "no one" because we have chosen to abstain from speaking for ourselves. As a result; the government no longer fears the people; so the people having chosen not to have a voice, are increasingly used and abused to further the takeover that has now become impossible to escape.

The government is saying among themselves, that this meltdown will encompass credit cards, student loans, all the pension funds, social security and virtually everything else including our non- existent jobs programs-not to mention the fact that we're looking at real job loses this year of over a million people. This is part of their defense for saddling the public with more than $11 TRILLION in debt, without any relief for the public that is expected to pay for this obscene crime.

The Trap - Behind the Curtain

All the financial markets are showing green lights, joyous profits! Have real profits returned to the world markets! NO, this is a response to the proclamation, underwritten yesterday by the central banks with $247 billion: What an insignificant amount to pay to guarantee tens of trillions in illegal profits down the road. Yet apparently the gullible, determined-to-believe-followers have apparently taken the bait!

This is a trap of global proportions designed to complete the shell game over 'the ownership society's' claims on everything that matters, to them. What's at stake is the future of everyone who works, all pension funds, and any remaining idea of retirement after the public has been irrevocably chained to a bailout plan that has no limits!
"US government policy has encouraged recklessness - most recently by taking extraordinary measures to privatize gains while socializing losses. As part of the agenda of its so-called ownership society (excepting ownership of responsibility by powerful bankers and insurers who fail) the govt. even sought to privatize public obligations - recall the Bush proposal to privatize social security. So why not play fast and loose if the rules are heads I win tails you lose?" (1)

Ron Paul Blasts “Secret Government” Running Economy

Congressman Ron Paul has issued a stinging address concerning the financial crisis in which he outlines how the current economic problems, created via malinvestment and shift to a debt based economy, are now being mismanaged by private interests in secret.
What’s more he says he is not sure the Federal Reserve has any idea what to do next and that the Congress is totally oblivious to the whole sorry state of affairs - a cocktail of elements he warns puts the middle class of America in serious jeopardy.
“Today we had a lot of financial fireworks in the markets, a lot of things are going on, and I think we are in the middle of something very big.” the Congressman stated.
Speaking on the recent collapse and government bailout of several big financial institutions he warned:
“We’re talking about big bucks, we’re not talking about hundreds of millions or even hundreds of billions, we’re talking about trillions of dollars, the obligation is immeasurable.”

Fears Of Further Financial Casualties Abound

Fears that further financial casualties were inevitable abounded on Wall Street this morning as shares in Morgan Stanley appeared to be in freefall and the US Government reportedly asked big banks to put together a rescue buyout of Washington Mutual.
Shares in US investment bank Morgan Stanley were down by 40.63 per cent this morning at $17.04 while its larger rival Goldman Sachs fell by 21.9 per cent, even after both reported better-than-expected earnings yesterday. The cost of protecting Morgan Stanley and Goldman’s debt also spiked.
The US Government has asked big banks, including HSBC, to put together a rescue buyout of Washington Mutual, the American lender, according to a report.
The banks involved include Wells Fargo, JPMorgan Chase and HSBC but the report in the New York Post said that no deal talks were being held between the banks and WaMu.

HSBC boss admits huge bonuses paid to City bankers helped cause credit crunch

Huge bonuses paid to City bankers have contributed to the credit crunch, the chairman of HSBC has admitted.
Stephen Green said he 'quite agreed' that the rewards of £14billion in 2006/07 for London's financial institutions were excessive and contributed to the current 'painful' downturn Britain now faces.
Mr Green himself is said to have earned £1.25million - plus a £1.75 million bonus - last year.
And HSBC's annual report revealed that the five best-paid people at the bank earned total bonuses of £24.5million in 2007.
It is the first time one of the world's leading banking figures has said remuneration in the banking industry was a factor in causing the current financial problems.
In an interview with the BBC, Mr Green, 59, indicated that one of the causes of the credit crunch was the number of staff who were paid too much for deals that went wrong, costing banks a fortune.

How obscene is that! At a time when banks are foreclosing on their customers, dropping credit interest payments to save money and charging customers the earth for going overdrawn.

I recently went overdrawn by 20p yes 20 pence and was charged the total sum of £63 for the privilege!!
