The financial fields replete with sprouting "green shoots" should be viewed with suspicion, if not alarm, warns Gerald Celente, The Trends Research Institute Director. "They are not a mirage, but they are ephemeral.” Field Marshall Ben Bernanke and his Green Shoot Brigade have fertilized the economic landscape with trillions of sweat equity dollars extorted from today's public and the public of generations to come.
(public money IS YOUR MONEY, THE GOVERNMENT IS GIVING THE BANKERS & EVERYONE ELSE !! YOUR MONEY!! The government is creating DEBT in your name without your consent, by paying more taxes, fees and extra charges you, your retired parents, your spouse and your children . . . .are expected to pay this Debt back!! think about it.)
Regardless of how depleted the land, heavy doses of dollars spread so thickly over the financial and government territories, will force "green shoots" to grow. But the fundamentals of the economy remain unsound. They will not be corrected by forced fertilizing barren acreage."'Green shoots' may sprout," said Celente, "but they will not flower. The economy cannot be coerced back into growth with tons of money manure." As the ancient parable puts it:
"A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side;and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it. And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture. And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it,and choked it. And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundred fold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear." -- Luke 8:4-8
Now here this: it is inconceivable that the "green shoots" are signs of
sustained economic recovery. Celente said no one could have forecast that the
government would not only intervene in the markets by pouring unprecedented
trillions into bailout schemes, but that they would commandeer the whole free
enterprise system." The 800-pound gorilla has ridden the elephant into the Oval
Office, and are there for all to see. But few will call a spade a spade,"
declared Celente."Benito Mussolini described Fascism as 'The merger of state and corporate power.'He suggested that, more appropriately, it should be called 'Corporatism.' By whatever name, Corporatism or Fascism, what it's not is Free Market Capitalism, much less Democracy," Celente said.
(efop brings you this article to help you understated what is your first step, it is to admit you have a problem, the second step is to gain all the knowledge concerning your situation. Knowing the enemy you face gives you the ability to act with knowledge so you are not in a state of reacting but in a state of informed response.
"Green shoots" can only be brought to harvest through real productivity. Pumping gigantic sums of money into too-big-to-fail financial institutions to jump-start the lending/borrowing cycle is to perpetuate a failed economic model. (See "The Greatest Depression," Trends Journal, Winter 2009.)"We can extrapolate creatively from data, but cannot prophe size wild cards, such as acts of God, acts of nature, or acts of man that can only be described as 'schemes undreamed of.' While there have been warnings since the founding of the United States, no one, but no one, could have predicted the mega-merger of Wall Street and Washington that is now a fait accompli," said The Trends Research Institute Director.
Trend post:
With so much money being dumped into the system, there will be money to made ... and lost. The agile and the knowledgeable may be able to reap "green shoots" while they're sprouted. But beware!" The Greatest Depression" -- that we forecast would begin to set in by the end of this year -- may have been postponed, but it has not been averted. When it does set in, it will do so with enhanced intensity and at a pace accelerated by complex financial finagling ... all under the guise of nation-saving action. Rather than let the failing industries fail and the failed banks go bankrupt, the government is deliberately bankrupting the nation. The lesson to be learned from the financial crisis that began in the summer of 2007, is that nothing succeeds like failure. The greater their failure, the bolder they become. The more they lose, the more they take. The greater the chaos, the more control they exact. The bigger they fail, the harder we fall. No act is too unthinkable or measure too draconian for the Washington-Wall Street Mob to concoct in order to maintain power, make money and cover their losses. While it is impossible to second-guess what the government will do next, it is absolutely certain that they will stop at nothing. The "green shoots" will wither and conditions will deteriorate. Those who are prepared for the worst will not have been taken by surprise.© MMIX The Trends Research Institute®
Rupert Murdoch: "Internet Will Soon Be Over"
Posted by: "Prophit0 P"
My question is..... is he king?
Who is he to decide the Internet is over? I guess our congress is only a figure head put in place to do as their master, Murdock, tells them to do. Look, the old count even died his hair...how pathetic. So, maybe we will get our news by means other than the net, what he &Rockefeller can't take back is the fact that we now know how much news there is, where to find it and recognize we will just have to do a little more work to get it....then OUR UNDERGROUND PAPERS WILL REALLY TAKE OFF AND EVEN MAKE A LITTLE MONEY WITH ADS. Hahahaha, WE ARE AMERICANS, we can get around the arrogant pieces of sh*t.Make the paper free and people will read it, they are thirsty for real news.Start with donations and soon it will be able to support itself.
Ours did that and is now in expanded territory, even in surrounding small communities. WE may even have agencies who can hack us into an underground net for our communities and forums.... who knows, it’s a brand new world folks. Our only limitation is our imagination. .....lol

*Rupert Murdoch:
"Internet Will Soon Be Over"
Corporate media forced to charged dwindling readership for news content as establishment propaganda organs wither and die while alternative media soars* Paul Joseph Watson Prison Planet.com Thursday, May 7, 2009Billionaire media mogul Rupert Murdoch gave a strange response when asked about plans for mainstream news websites to charge for content, declaring,“The current days of the Internet will soon be over.”
efop (ask yourself why? The answer is, to stop you the people of the world from gaining the information they need to control their own lives.)
He was making reference to the fact that corporate media websites cannot continue to survive under their current failing business model. The establishment media is dying and advertising revenue has plummeted as people turn to blogs and the alternative media for their news in an environment of corporate lies and spin. This has forced sectors of the corporate media to charge the dwindling number of loyal readers they have left for news content, a practice which is set to become widespread according to Murdoch. This will only send more people over to the alternative media as the old organs of de facto state-controlled propaganda wither and die. “Asked whether he envisaged fees at his British papers such as the Times, the Sunday Times, the Sun and the News of the World, (Murdoch) replied: “We’re absolutely looking at that,” reports the Guardian. “Taking questions on a conference call with reporters and analysts, he said that moves could begin “within the next 12 months‚” adding: “The current days of the Internet will soon be over.” Murdoch’s newspapers and TV networks, which include Fox News and the Asian Star Network, have seen profits plummet from $216m to just $7m year-on-year. MySpace.com is also floundering despite a recent move to replace the company’s entire management staff. It was all but over for the Boston Globe this week, following a threat to close the 137-year-old publication after net losses of $85 million this year alone. Only a last minute cost-cutting agreement on behalf of its owner, The New York Times Company, and The Boston Newspaper Guild, saved the newspaper. But it’s not just establishment newspapers that are struggling to survive - social networking websites like Twitter and corporate online video giant You Tube are also deep in the red. Apparently, paying out millions in server fees for half the population of the planet to watch clips of cute puppies isn’t a sustainable business model. This is why You Tube is being forced to pursue lucrative partnerships with giant production studios and broadcasters, at the expense of user generated content which has been relegated to a sub-section of its website, taking the “You” out of You Tube altogether. Content that may be deemed harmful to You Tube’s corporate agenda and its multi-million dollar partnership deals, like The Alex Jones Channel, is being systematically erased from You Tube’s website under the pretext of flimsy copyright infringement claims. The jig is up for the corporate media. If they continue to allow free access to their content they will go out of business because there’s not enough advertising revenue coming in, whereas if they charge for content they will lose a huge chunk of their audience and their influence in shaping the news agenda will wane completely. This is the price the corporate media has paid for lying, spinning and obfuscating on behalf of the virulently corrupt power elite and expecting the population to eat it up without question. The corporate media monopoly has terminal cancer and they are losing their power, which is why they are aggressively supporting moves to phase out the old Internet altogether and replace it with “Internet 2,”a highly regulated and controlled electronic Berlin wall, where alternative voices will be silenced and giant corporate propaganda organs will dominate once again. This what Murdoch is really getting at when he assures us that, “The Internet will soon be over” and it’s down to us to stop that agenda from being realized.
