9 Prediction for 2011

1. The U.S. will implement QE3/4 when the $600 billion of QE2 is not enough (already it is not enough as admitted by the Fed’s chairman Benjamin Shalom Bernanke recently on CBS’ 60 Minutes). Except it won’t be called as such in the lamestream media. QE3/4 will be in the trillions of U.S. dollars (USD) of quantitative easing, i.e., fake digital money printing from the Fed to sop up unwanted U.S. Treasuries. The unstated and ONLY purpose of QE2 and QE3/4 is to buy up all of the U.S. Treasury debts that the foreign nations are beginning to refuse to buy while they are quietly dumping what they possess on the U.S. and world markets in exchange for real and tangible assets and resources.

2. The major export nations like China, Russia, Brazil, India, Argentina, and others will engage in and increase their non USD-denominated trading among themselves, as exemplified by the recent China-Russia trade agreements whereby they would start trading in Rubles and Yuans, and not use USD as is typically transacted in international trades for commodities and oil. This will put increasing devaluation pressures on the USD. So, look forward to the US Dollar Index to drop further from the low 80s now to the low 70s or even lower in 2011.

3. Retail food prices in the U.S. will increase in the low to medium DOUBLE digit ranges (10% to 40%) for everything from the junk/GMO “foods” served by corporations like McDonald’s to healthy/organic foods supplied by companies like Whole Foods Market. This will take place noticeably in the first half of 2011.

4. The real estate market in Canada will finally begin its collapse suddenly after the new year celebrations are over, mimicking the real estate crash of the U.S. that began in late 2008. Over heated markets like Vancouver will suffer the most as the average house price there is around $1 million Canadian (the Canadian dollar is almost on par with the USD). The average homeowner in Vancouver is spending about 70% of its BEFORE-tax income on paying mortgages. This financial situation is totally unsustainable. To illustrate a parallel, past example why it is going to be the case: In 2005, the “median” California family spent almost 73% of their AFTER-tax income on their “median” California house ($477,700), and look what happened to the real estate market in California. A 50+% devaluation of the Vancouver real estate market is very likely over the next 1-3 years. But the crash will begin in early half of 2011.

5. The Chinese real estate market, the last investment vehicle in China for those Chinese with money, will also begin its collapse suddenly, hitting hard cities like Shanghai, Beijing, Fuzhou, etc. According to a very recent article by UK’s Daily Mail Online, there are as many as 64 MILLION empty homes in China with no one occupying these brand new homes! This China real estate crash will have serious implications for the real estate market in Vancouver. There won’t be m/any Chinese millionaires plunking down $1+ million CASH for buying real estate in Vancouver, as has been the case over the recent years.

6. Inflation will run rampant in China as it is already doing so with retail food prices. See my recent article (www.rense.com/Currency%20Wars%20For%20Dummies.pdf) as to the real causes of huge inflation in China. Unless China allows its Yuan to appreciate (increase in value) against the ever falling USD, rampant inflation in China will continue its course unabated. If China allows its Yuan to appreciate by any significant amount (7% or more), such an action will DECIMATE its export industries and manufacturers, because of the extremely thin profit margins that their exporters have to work with. China will raise its interest rates to try to stop inflation but that will not do the job. In fact, raising interest rates will only cause more foreign currencies to go into China in search of higher yields, unless China imposes strict restrictions on the importation of foreign currencies and investments.

7. The EU will continue its financial collapse, as nations like Spain, Portugal, and Italy will join Greece and Ireland in facing the stark choice between (Option 1) bailing out THEIR banksters or (Option 2) having THEIR nation go bankrupt. The IMF/World Bank model of “rescuing” these EU nations were perfected on the so-called Third World nations such as Argentina (viz., John Perkins’ book, “Confessions of an Economic Hitman”). In 2001, Argentina defaulted on its IMF loans, i.e., it was forced to take Option 2, and its people suffered tremendously as the majority of its middle class was literally wiped out overnight. The Banksters in Argentina (with such strange and exotic names like JPMorgan Chase, Citibank, etc.) were able to fly out their billions of USD on private jets before the forced conversion and devaluation of the Argentina pesos/savings were implemented on the masses. Millions of Argentineans keep their savings as USD in their banks before the collapse. When the forced conversion and devaluation of those USD savings were imposed on its citizens, the banks were closed and ATMs withdrawals were limited to a few hundred pesos (less than $50 USD) per person per day. Overnight, Argentineans saw their savings lose over 75% in value (the peso went from 1:1 to 4:1, requiring 4 pesos to buy 1 USD overnight). And then the multi-national corporations came in like financial vultures and bought up the natural resources and public utilities for pennies on the USD. THAT is IMF’s Option 2 for Spain, Portugal, and Italy. Option 1 is long term financial servitude and slavery for the citizens of the bankrupt country as is happening to Ireland.

8. Silver and gold will continue to climb in 2011. Silver will increase much more than gold in 2011, as the “Crash JP Morgan, Buy Silver” viral campaign started by Max Kaiser in early November will take off exponentially in 2011. Silver will breach $50 per ounce in 2011.

9. A major war will break out somewhere in the world in 2011 (if not in 2011 then definitely in 2012) involving the U.S. and/or one of its proxy allies, i.e., Israel, South Korea, etc. The very recent massive war exercises conducted by South Korea and the U.S. were meant to provoke a military response from North Korea. Fortunately, the North Koreans didn’t take the bait. This will be the final American Bubble to inflate as the U.S. will try to use “shock and awe” on either North Korea or Iran or even maybe a country in Africa in a futile attempt to bypass and cover up the greatest economic and financial collapse in world’s history.

Kecelaruan Pluralisma Agama Harakah Daily

Seorang sahabat menghantar email kepada penulis tentang kecelaruan pluralisma agama oleh Harakah Daily dalam edisi bahasa Melayu dan Bahasa Inggerisnya.

1. Edisi Inggerisnya disini

2. Edisi Bahasa Melayu disini

Sekalipun harakah Daily adalah suara rasmi parti PAS, penulis tidak menuduh mereka menyokong pluralisma agama. Edisi Inggeris adalah siaran ucapan DSAI yang terang-terang menyokong pluralisma agama sementara edisi bahasa Melayunya adalah tulisan wartawan tanpa nama mereka yang tidak memihak kepada pandangan DSAI.

Soalannya apakah pendirian sebenar Harakah daily tentang isu ini. Menyokong atau pun tidak? atau adakah pandapat Harakah Daily mengikut bahasa audien mereka? Ya jika mereka berbahasa Inggeris , Tidak jika Bahasa Mereka Melayu?

Sebagai gerakan Islam hanya ada satu sahaja kebenaranya dan PAS melalui Harakah daily perlu memberi jawaban mereka.

Kadang-kedang penulis kesihan dengan dilema yang dialami oleh PAS. DAP dengan 'langkah Mayat kami dahulu' dan Anwar dengan 'semua agama sama'nya. Dimanakah suara gerakan Islam ini? Merka hanya mampu berbisik diatas katil bersama pasangan mereka.

Sekurang-kurangnya UMNO tidak apologetik dengan Ketuanan Melayunya. Jika Ketua Pemuda PAS pernah mengajak Pemuda UMNO berdebat samaada UMNO berada di Jalan yang benar, apakah jalan yang diambil oleh PAS kini benar?

Semakin lama PAS kelihatan semakin sama warnanya dengan UMNO....

Dah Tahu DiPerangkap Masuk Juga

Begitulah keadaanya..Dah tahu diperangkap siRusa ni masuk juga dalam perangkap..bukan sekali tetapi dua kali. kalau begitu hakikatnya layakkah beliau diangkat menjadi pemimpin?

Sewaktu dia dituduh kali kedua dahulu, aku tertanya-tanya malah ada aku sebutkan dalam entri aku, mengapa tidak tukang pembancuh kopi diangkat dari perempuan tua-tua ganyut? supaya tidak menimbulkan fitnah? Aku tak tahu sama ada beliau terlalu yakin dengan dirinya atau tidak mampu mengawal nafsunya?

Dalam politik sesiapa pun ada musuh, mana-mana ahli politik pun akan berdepan dengan tindakan yang mahu menjatuhkanya, cuma berapa bijak beliau menangani musuhnya sahaja..nampaknya Rusa ni naif sekali. Jika musuh poltik dalaman boleh memerangkap beliau, bagaimana agaknya beliau dapat menangani CIA dan MOSSAD. Jika beliau menjadi PM bukankah beliau mendedahkan dirinya kepada ugutan dan akan menjadi kuda tunggangan MOSSAD sahaja?

Cuma akau harap NAJIB tidak terlalu gembira kerana kita belum lagi melihat komen-komen kedutaan luar tentang Al Tantuya atau tentang betapa berkuasanya Wanita Pertama negara...

Sejarah Kemajuan dunia dalam tempoh 200 tahun . Very Interesting indeed..

Satu laut baru sedang terbentuk di Afrika

(Mungkin kita tidak akan dapat melihat laut baru ini dihayat kita, tetapi sekurang-kurangnya kita tahu bumi ini dinamik dan sentiasa berubahubah. Laut baru ini mungkin akan mengambil masa beribu-ribu tahun untuk membentuk lautan sempurna tetapi asasnya terbentuk dalam jangka hayat kita. Jangan terkejut dengan kejadian sebegini sebab bumi mempunyai sejarah yang panjang. )

In 2005, a gigantic, 35-mile-long rift broke open the desert ground in Ethiopia. At the time, some geologists believed the rift was the beginning of a new ocean as two parts of the African continent pulled apart, but the claim was controversial.

Now, scientists from several countries have confirmed that the volcanic processes at work beneath the Ethiopian rift are nearly identical to those at the bottom of the world's oceans, and the rift is indeed likely the beginning of a new sea.

The new study, published in the latest issue of Geophysical Research Letters, suggests that the highly active volcanic boundaries along the edges of tectonic ocean plates may suddenly break apart in large sections, instead of little by little as has been predominantly believed. In addition, such sudden large-scale events on land pose a much more serious hazard to populations living near the rift than would several smaller events, says Cindy Ebinger, professor of earth and environmental sciences at the University of Rochester and co-author of the study.

"This work is a breakthrough in our understanding of continental rifting leading to the creation of new ocean basins," says Ken Macdonald, professor emeritus in the Department of Earth Science at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and who is not affiliated with the research. "For the first time they demonstrate that activity on one rift segment can trigger a major episode of magma injection and associated deformation on a neighboring segment. Careful study of the 2005 mega-dike intrusion and its aftermath will continue to provide extraordinary opportunities for learning about continental rifts and mid-ocean ridges."

"The whole point of this study is to learn whether what is happening in Ethiopia is like what is happening at the bottom of the ocean where it's almost impossible for us to go," says Ebinger. "We knew that if we could establish that, then Ethiopia would essentially be a unique and superb ocean-ridge laboratory for us. Because of the unprecedented cross-border collaboration behind this research, we now know that the answer is yes, it is analogous."

Mighty Israel proved clueless in the face of natural disaster

The bush fire happened very recently in which 40 prison guard perished. The event demonstrate that the Israelis are not as superior as they thought they are. The can bully the unarmed Palestinian women and children, but when they are faced with the real challenge they are as clueless as the Arab surrounding them. If this is their state of readiness they should not be talking big.

Aluiff Benn – Haaretz December 3, 2010

The enormous blaze that broke out on the Carmel will be remembered as the Yom Kippur War of the Fire and Rescue Service, who were not prepared to counter a disaster of such magnitude.

Yesterday it turned out that Israel is not prepared for war or a mass terrorist strike that would cause many casualties in the home front. The warning of the outgoing Military Intelligence Chief, Amos Yadlin, that the next war will be a lot more difficult than past experiences, and that Tel Aviv will be a front line, was not translated into the necessary preparation by the authorities assigned the protection of the civilians.

Under such circumstances, it is best for Israel not to embark on war against Iran, which will involve thousands of missiles being fired on the home front.

After the Second Lebanon War, which exposed how pathetic the civil defense system was, reports were written, exercises were held, but everything broke down under the stress of a real emergency on the Carmel range − an area that already experienced the trauma of Hezbollah missiles.

Yesterday Israel asked for help from Cyprus and Greece, and the air force traveled to France to bring fire retardants to make up for the material that had run out. In war time, it is doubtful whether Israel will be able to rely on the generosity and largess of its neighbors.

Responsibility for the home front is currently divided among three ministries: the Home Front Command and the National Emergency Authority, who are answerable to the Defense Ministry; the police, which is part of the Ministry of Public Security; and the Fire and Rescue Command, which belongs to the Interior Ministry.

Interior Minister Eli Yishai, who is responsible for the firemen and the head of the Fire and Rescue Services, Shimon Romah, were nowhere to be found yesterday. They are obvious candidates for losing their jobs as a result of the disaster.

Each ministry has its own bureaucratic dynamic, and ability to raise funds for equipment and human resources. The firemen are at the bottom of the pile, and have for years struggled to get more resources.

A year ago the firemen went on strike and warned that the system is far from being able to provide for defending the population. According to the firemen’s association, the international standards require one fireman for every 1,000 citizens, and in Israel the ratio is nearly one in 10,000. Over and over the firemen warned that they can’t shoulder the responsibility they are given.

Funding authorized several weeks ago was meant to head-off criticism in a State Comptroller report on the state of the fire departments.

In similar circumstance in the past, organizations that were found lacking were later bolstered with enormous resources. This is what happened to Military Intelligence and the air force following their failures during the Yom Kippur War. This will probably also happen to the Fire and Rescue Services.t experiences, and that Tel Aviv will be a front line, was not translated into the necessary preparation by the authorities assigned the protection of the civilians.

Anugerah Tuhan...

ada beribu ribu lagi senarai insan yang menjadi 'anugerah' TUHAN kepada dunia. Namun anugerah TUHAN tersebut bukan semestinya manusia yang berjiwa 'malaikat', anugerah tersebut boleh juga merupakan manusia berjiwa 'syaitan'. Kerana semuanya adalah ujian kepada dunia. TUHAN mencipta kejahatan dan kebaikan sebagai ujian kepada kita. Tugas manusia adalah memilih jalan-jalan yang telah ditunjukkan kepada kita oleh Kitab dan Rasul-Rasulnya.

Didalam memilih jalan inipun kita masih boleh disesatkan oleh kumpulan-kumpulan manusia yang memakai topeng kebenaran dan melaungkan slogan -slogan yang enak didengar oleh telinga. Kumpulan-kumpulan berjubah hijau itu belum tentu boleh membawa ke jalan yang benar. Malah tiada kumpulan dibumi yang fana ini boleh menjamin sesiapa masuk syurga TUHAN.

Jadi sebagai manusia yang lemah kita berhati-hatilah dengan mereka yang merasakan diri mereka 'ANUGERAH TUHAN' kepada DUNIA!.

Salam sejahtera untuk suami ANUGERAH...
