By Glenn Simpson,WWH – The most heard expression you will hear in any retail environment, be it a shop or a marketplace, is that – “There’s no money about” – Obviously people can’t spend what they haven’t got. It seems quite logical, to me, that the problem lies not in the lack of money but in the lack of “supply” of money. Here’s how I see it: A few days ago the Bank of England announced that they will be “injecting” £75bn ($114bn) into the British economy. Great idea, sounds good doesn’t it? It sounds like there will be lots more £5 and £10 notes flying around and going into peoples tills and cash registers thereby, making business healthy enough to create employment. Dream on.By Glenn Simpson,WWH – The most heard expression you will hear in any retail... more

America faces some serious medium-term fiscal issues, but by any standard measure it does not face an immediate fiscal crisis. Overly indebted countries routinely have difficulty financing themselves when the world becomes riskier – yet turmoil in the Middle East is pushing down the interest rates on United States government debt. We are still seen as an safe haven.
Nonetheless, leading commentators and politicians repeat the line “we’re broke” and reason that there is no option to immediate spending cuts in the national and state level.
Which view is correct? And exactly what does this inform us about where our political product is heading?America faces some serious medium-term fiscal issues, but by any standard measure it... more

Conspiracy theorists like myself believe modern history reflects a long-term conspiracy by an international financial elite to enslave humanity.
Like blind men examining an elephant, we attribute this conspiracy to Jews, Illuminati, Vatican, Jesuits, Freemasons, Black Nobility, and Bildersbergs etc.
The real villains are at the heart of our economic and cultural life. They are the dynastic families who own the Bank of England, the US Federal Reserve and associated cartels. They also control the World Bank and IMF. Their identity is kept secret but Rothschild is certainly one of them.
England is in fact a financial oligarchy run by the "Crown" which refers to the "City of London" not the Queen. The City is run by the Bank of England, a private corporation. The City is a sovereign state located in the heart of greater London. Considered the "Vatican of the financial world," the City is not subject to British law.
On the contrary, the Bank of England dictates to the British Parliament. In 1886, Andrew Carnegie wrote that, "six or seven men can plunge the nation into war without consulting Parliament at all." Vincent Vickers, a director of the Bank of England from 1910-1919, blamed the City for the wars of the world. ("Economic Tribulation" (1940) cited in Knuth, The Empire of the City, 1943, p 60)
The British Empire was an extension of bankers' financial interests. Indeed, all the non-white colonies (India, Hong Kong, Gibraltar) were "Crown Colonies." They belonged to the City and were not subject to British law although Englishmen were expected to conquer and pay for them.
The Bank of England assumed control of the United States during the T.R. Roosevelt administration (1901-1909) when its agent J.P. Morgan took over 25% of American business. http://www.savethemales.ca/000426.html
According to the "American Almanac," the bankers are part of a network called the "Club of the Isles" which is an informal association of European royalty including the Queen. The Club of the Isles commands an estimated $10 trillion in assets. It lords over such corporate giants as Royal Dutch Shell, Imperial Chemical Industries, Lloyds of London, Unilever, Lonrho, Rio Tinto Zinc, and Anglo American DeBeers. It dominates the world supply of petroleum, gold, diamonds, and many other vital raw materials; and deploys these assets not merely in the pursuit of its geopolitical agenda.

UK interest rates have been left at 0.5% following the Bank of England's latest meeting.
The cost of borrowing has been at a record low since March 2009 and economists do not expect the central bank to raise rates in the near term.
The Bank's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) also maintained the quantitative easing (QE), or asset buying, programme at £200bn.

The Bank of England has reportedly already written to Alistair Darling asking for permission to "print money" to fight against the recession.

The Bank of England had a "Dress for Success" day. On that day they send out a memo to their lady employees of how they should dress for success:
“Look professional, not fashionable; be careful with perfume; always wear a heel of some sort — maximum 2 inches; always wear some sort of makeup — even if it’s just lipstick.” Shoes and skirt must be the same color. No-no’s include ankle chains — “professional, but not the one you want to be associated with;” white high heels; overstuffed handbags; an overload of rings, and double-pierced ears.

Bank of England governor Mervyn King today warned that the recession in Britain will be deeper and longer than expected, and signalled interest rates will have to fall further to stop inflation dropping far below its 2% target.
King also admitted there was a risk of the economy suffering deflation during the next two years.
In a dramatic change of its forecasts three months ago, the Bank predicted that the UK economy would shrink by 2% in the first half of next year and would not return to growth until towards the end of 2009. With the UK economy already contracting, this suggests that the recession will last for more than a year.
Defending the Bank's change of heart, King said: "The world has changed since August, and so we have changed our forecasts. We have seen the biggest banking crisis since the outbreak of the first world war, and arguably bigger than that." He also denied that the Bank had lost touch with reality.
The pound hit a six-and-a-half-year low against the dollar after the Bank released its quarterly inflation report, falling below $1.50 this afternoon. It also dropped to a record low of €1.2128 against the euro.
King said it was "very likely that the UK economy entered a recession in the second half of this year", and added it was hard to tell how bad 2009 would be. "It's almost certain that output will fall in both the third and fourth quarters of this year, and I don't know where it will go after that."
In its gloomiest assessment of the economy for some time, the Bank forecast that inflation, currently at 5.2%, would fall to just below 1% in two years if interest rates stayed at the current level of 3%. The monetary policy committee surprised the City last week when it slashed borrowing costs by 1.5 percentage points to 3%.

After a world wide interest cut there seems to be some slightly positive news to be taken from the financial markets. The FTSE climbed by 1.48% soon after trading started this morning, Germany’s Dax index rose by 1.5 per cent, while France’s Cac 40 rose by 2.2 per cent.
These slight increases follow recent days of turmoil which saw billions wiped off the value of stocks right across the country which spurred The Bank of England to cut interest rates by half a percent. The move was followed by the US Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank, The Swiss, Canadian, Swedish and Chinese central banks also cut their rates.
Don't get too optimistic though, the small rises in trading have not brought us back to last weeks levels, we're not out of the troubled water yet.After a world wide interest cut there seems to be some slightly positive news to be... more

The Bank of England has kept interest rates on hold at 5% as it struggles to deal with a slowing economy and spiralling inflation.
Many reports have shown the economy heading for a significant slowdown or even a recession.
But the Monetary Policy Committee's primary goal is to keep inflation at 2% and it currently stands at 3.8%.
Although the bulk of members voted to hold rates last month, one supported a cut, while another backed an increase.
Some analysts had forecast rates would rise this month to tackle inflation.

Following the Bank of England's interest rate cuts last week, both the Consumer and Retail Price Indexes have shown increases of 0.1% since the start of the new year.
Although the price indexes show a strong growth, it's acceleration was not as quick as initial fears further fuelling hopes of interest rates being cut later in the year.
The Bank of England has quashed any ideas that the UK's rates will be cut as dramatically as the US's, with the BBC reporting that the newly cut rates will be kept on hold until a clearer view of the 'long-term' forecast can be predicted.
