SCARY FACTS...

Scary Facts.

(A) The number of physicians in the U.S. is 700,000.

(B) Accidental deaths caused by physicians per year are 120,000.

(C) Accidental deaths per physician is 0.171.

Statistics courtesy of U. S. Dept. of Health and Human Services.

Now, the above meant nothing until I did the statistics shown below on guns:

(A) The number of gun owners in the U.S. is 80,000,000. (Yes, that's 80 million)

(B) The number of accidental gun deaths per year, all age groups, is 1,500.

(C) The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is .0000188.

Statistics courtesy of FBI.

So, statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners!

Remember, guns don't kill people, doctors do!

FACT: NOT EVERYONE HAS A GUN . . . but, almost everyone has at least one doctor.

This means you are over 9,000 times more likely to be killed by a doctor as by a gun owner!!!

Please alert your friends to this alarming threat!

We must ban doctors before this gets completely out of control.

Out of concern for the public at large . . . I have withheld the statistics on lawyers for fear the shock would cause people to panic and seek medical attention!

RISING SEA LEVELS IN EQUATORIAL REGIONS?

I took the NOAA tide web sites (below) over to my engineer friend. He went into NOAA's tide data further looking at other places around the world. It appears that in most Northern and southern latitudes the sea levels are falling. Norway and New Zeland tide levels are falling but around the Tropic of Cancer and equatorial regions the sea levels are rising. Interesting!!

As the Earth spins the tide water is moving toward the equator? What's up with that? What does have to do with global warming or cooling??? Maybe as the oceans heat up at the Equator the water expands slightly and becomes lighter causing sea levels to rise? Are underwater volcanoes causing the water to heat up. Is this a normal occurrence caused by El Nino?

Is the Earth spinning faster due to a galactic time shift? Is the Moon's gravity increasing? Who can shed some light on this?

FYI CO2 is a trace gas at .033% of our Atmosphere. If humans could some how double it would be .066% and still be a trace gas necessary to grow food.

We went on the above web sites and check ou Norway, Sweden, New Zealand, Australia, Antarctica etc. Most all the polar regons the sea levels are falling but near the equator they are rising slightly. I think it is due to the millions of undersea volcanoes along the ring of fire and mid ocean rifts heating up the sea water causing El Nenio/ Warmer water expands slightly and the oceans are thousands of feet deep. Sea water rise is not cause by humans. Du!

Financial Collapse !!!

July 1, 2015
Singapore

Yesterday over coffee, a friend of mine leaked the news that JP Morgan’s private banking division here in Singapore is going to start charging negative interest rates.

I almost fell out of my chair.


He’s a successful hedge fund manager and one of their best customers. So when he received the notice, he rang up his private banker and demanded to know why.

Between ridiculously low interest rates (banks are closing loans here for 0.9% or lower) and the increasing costs of compliance, “we can’t make money anymore...” was the response.


It certainly paints a clear picture of how screwed up the entire financial system is.

Compliance is a major component in this. Bankers around the world are buried up to their eyeballs in paperwork and regulations now.


They can’t make a move or approve a single transaction without first doing anti-money laundering, terrorist financing, and tax evasion due diligence.


Imagine it like this: your banker rings you up tomorrow and says, “The government of China requires us to have all of our depositors fill out this paperwork. So I need you to send this form back to me ASAP…”


You’d probably think it was a joke.



Or at a minimum think, “Wait, what? I’m not Chinese. You’re not a Chinese bank. Who cares about some stupid Chinese regulation?”



And you’d be right.



Except that’s precisely what the United States is doing right now.



All over the world, bankers are contacting their customers and forcing them to fill out paperwork to comply with idiotic US government regulations. Even when there’s no connection to the US.


Here in Singapore, the bankers are completely miserable about it.



They’re so angry for having to call customers and say, “Yes I know you’re in India, and I know we’re in Singapore, and I know you’ve been a customer for 10 years. But you still have to fill out this US government form or else we’ll close your account.”



It’s ridiculous-- all of this because the US government is bankrupt.



A few years ago they passed the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA)-- a major part of their crusade to stamp out tax evasion and bring in more tax revenue.

FATCA is now in full force. Banks all over the world have been forced to enter into information sharing agreements with the IRS, meaning that they have to report on all of their customers and force them to fill out meaningless forms.



Needless to say, this costs a lot of money.



If you own a business, you can just imagine how frustrating and expensive it would be to have your employees toil away on senseless paperwork instead of... you know, doing real business.



The US government tells us that all of these disclosure programs have brought in about $6.5 billion in tax revenue.



Yet the costs of compliance are estimated to cost at least $8 billion, with some estimates over 10x higher.



Now that’s a neat trick. Uncle Sam gets the money and passes off the costs to everyone else.



And those who don’t comply with America’s rules are destroyed.



The most blatant example of this was last year, when a French bank was fined $9 billion for doing business with countries that Uncle Sam didn’t like.



Bear in mind, this was a French bank, not an American bank.



They violated no French laws. Yet they had to pay the US government $9 billion for doing business with places like Cuba.



(Ironically, Cuba is now BFFs with the United States, but it’s not like the bank is going to get a refund.)



More recently, the US government destroyed an Andorran bank that was accused of weak anti-money laundering controls.



And a few years ago they took down the oldest private bank in Switzerland.

Every bank in the world has seen these incidents, and they’re scared. They could be next.



And that’s why you can’t get a single financial transaction done anymore without first submitting a mountain of paperwork to prove that you’re not a terrorist. Or financing terrorists. Or laundering money. Or doing business with the Axis of Evil.



Even outside of banking it has become utterly ridiculous.



A friend of mine here runs one of the largest bullion depositories in Singapore; he wanted to buy some raw gold and have it made into bars, so he contacted a refiner.



The refiner said, “Sure no problem. I just need you to send us some compliance documentation before we get started.”



Then he sent a list of no fewer than 22 items that he needed to submit-- copies of licenses, passports, certificates, etc.



22 items. Just to have a refiner make some gold bars. Ridiculous.



So obviously they’re not going to waste their time. Which means there’s some business that could have been done, but won’t, simply because of the compliance costs.



The US government has really screwed the world on this. Paperwork is the priority. Not business.



And all because America is bankrupt.



This trip to Singapore has been very eye-opening for me as I’m just now starting to understand how much people within the financial system despise the US government.



They feel like they’re being forced at gunpoint to be volunteer spies and tax collectors, simply because US politicians have been financially irresponsible.



And to me, it’s the biggest sign yet that America’s financial dominance is coming to an end. They’ve essentially engineered it themselves by alienating the whole world.



The transition isn’t going to be smooth. And it won’t happen overnight. But there will come a time, and likely soon, when the United States gets displaced.



And the rest of the world can hardly wait.

Until tomorrow,

ICELAND JAILED ITS BANKERS...

Iceland Recovering Fastest in Europe After Jailing Bankers Instead of Bailing them Out

Claire Bernish
June 11, 2015

(ANTIMEDIA) After Iceland suffered a heavy hit in the 2008-2009 financial crisis, which famously resulted in convictions and jail terms for a number of top banking executives, the IMF now says the country has managed to achieve economic recovery—“without compromising its welfare model,” which includes universal healthcare and education. In fact, Iceland is on track to become the first European country that suffered in the financial meltdown to “surpass its pre-crisis peak of economic output”—essentially proving to the U.S. that bailing out “too big to fail” banks wasn’t the way to go.

Iceland is beautifully, yet unfortunately, unique in how it chose to handle the disaster. It simply let the banks fail, which resulted in defaults totaling $85 billion—lending ample justification for the prosecution and conviction of bank executives for various fraud-related charges. The decision seemed shocking at the time, but the gamble has obviously paid off. Choosing a different route, the U.S. bailed out the banks and let executives off the hook by levying fines that ultimately ended up being paid by the corporations—meaning the executives ostensibly responsible for the mess got off scot-free.

“Why should we have a part of our society that is not being policed or without responsibility?” special prosecutor Olafur Hauksson said after Iceland’s Supreme Court upheld the convictions for three bankers—and sentenced them to between four and five and a half years each. “It is dangerous that someone is too big to investigate—it gives a sense there is a safe haven.”

Hauksson, a police officer from a small fishing village, ended up taking the role of special prosecutor after being urged to do so when the first announcement to fill the position drew no applicants. The Icelandic Parliament even aided the prosecution’s effort by loosening secrecy laws to allow investigation without the hindrance of requiring court orders.

Six of the seven convictions that ended up in Iceland’s Supreme Court have been upheld, and five cases were scheduled for the top court as of February. An additional fourteen cases appear likely to be prosecuted. By contrast, the animosity Americans felt toward their largest financial institutions after the bailout has grown bitter. After the banks plead guilty in May for manipulating global currency and interest rates, the court imposed a paltry fine of $5.7 billion—which won’t even go to the people most affected by the fraud. Iceland’s successful prosecutions and economic recovery remain the subject of envy for Americans.

Shortly, however, Iceland’s economic health will be put to the test.

Strict capital controls that were applied when banks were circling the drain six years ago will now be loosened, allowing foreign investors—whose assets have essentially been frozen since then—to take their business elsewhere. To prevent a possible repeat crisis, the finance minister announced a 39% tax for anyone choosing to do so. “The danger is capital flight and a consequent fall in the value of the krona,” explained University of Iceland economics professor, Thorolfur Matthiasson. “That would be tantamount to October 2008, bringing back bad memories for ordinary people and possibly making most businesses unsustainable due to balance-sheet problems.”

Though many are nervous, there is still cautionary optimism since Iceland has certainly weathered the storm before.

ATTENTION WELFARE PRECIPITANTS...

Only 49 more states, 10 Provinces and 3 Territories to go! I-95 and I-75 will likely be jammed for the next month or so with druggies and deadbeats heading north out of Florida, because this is the first state in the North America to require drug testing to receive welfare! Hooray for Florida!  In signing the new law, Republican Gov. Rick Scott said, "If Floridians want welfare, they better make sure they are drug-free." Applicants must pay for the drug test, but are reimbursed if they test drug-free.  Applicants who test positive for illicit substances, won't be eligible for the funds for a year, or until they undergo treatment.  Those who fail a second time will be banned from receiving funds for three years! Naturally, a few people are crying this is unconstitutional. How is this unconstitutional?  It's a legal requirement that persons applying for a number of government jobs have to pass drug tests in order to get the job, so why not those who receive welfare from the government?        Forward this if you agree! Let's get welfare back to the ones who need it, not to those who won't get a job. I AGREE.  DO YOU?
