1 Aprila, Jadranka Kosor je podsjetila da je to dan od posebnog značaja za Hrvatsku, dan na koji se zemlja bez referenduma o pristupanju pridružila NATO-savezu čime doprinosi međunarodnoj nesigurnosti; a vlada je prihvatila prijedlog o novom zaduženju u iznosu od pola milijarde eura zbog izvršenja državnog proračuna i vraćanja starih kredita. Pas je oduvijek bio čovjekov najbolji prijatelj, no sebe oslovljavamo i potpisujemo se kao njegovi gospodari ili vlasnici. Umro je Sony, slon koji je kao mladunče donešen na Brione i svoj vijek proživio u kavezu Brijuna kao poklon indijske premijerke Indire Gandi Josipu Brozu Titu. Ogroman inteligentni sisavac od nekoliko tona, Azijski slon poznatiji i kao Indijski slon, naš Sony, bio je sastavni dio safari parka nacionalnog parka Brijuni, umjesto neograničenih prirodnih ljepota, sve što je upoznao bilo je par kvadratnih metara prostora ograđenog debelim željeznim rešetkama. Iako je nekih četrdesetak godina svoj kavez dijelio sa družicom, slonica Lanka nije izrodila potomstvo. Sony nije bio bolestan, radnici na Brijunima ne znaju od čega je uginuo pripadnik vrste koja može živjeti mnogo duže. Nedavno objavljena studija je pokazala da Azijski slonovi u europskim zoološkim vrtovima i safari parkovima dožive u prosjeku samo 19 godina. Iz pouzdanog izvora, saznao sam da je Sony bio na glasu kao zao slon, čovjek mu se nije smio približiti. Kavez se sastojao od dva dijela, štale i malog vanjskog prostora na kojem se svako toliko pronalazila poneka zgnječena leteća kreatura koja je probala okusiti hranu namijenjenu Sonyu. Slonovi su dane provodili izvan štale, a noći u štali, njihovo izvođenje i zatvaranje je predstavljalo rizik po život zbog Sonyeve opake naravi. U štali su Sony i Lanka imali svaki svoj uski kavez, međusobno se nisu vidjeli jer su kavezi odvojeni debelim zidom. Hranu je Sonyu timaritelj sakriven par metara iza zida gurao drškom od metle bojeći se za vlastiti život. Iako je nikad nije upoznao, slon Sony je u genima znao što znači sloboda, njen nedostatak je nadoknađivao svojim dostojanstvom, ponosom, ponašanjem, nitko mu se nije imao hrabrosti približiti. Umro je slon koji nije htio biti klon.

As the United States continues to fracture in every way imaginable, most citizens are unable to keep up with the never-ending hodgepodge of government corruption. Each day, a new larger-than-life scandal emerges, and in the short mind span of news media, there is always a bigger and better story to chase. Right now, the hot button issue for mainstream news outlets is healthcare reform, and its myriad implications for our society; this doubtlessly ensures the aforementioned media will continue to overlook unprecedented accusations brought forth in a recent $3.87 trillion lawsuit against U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Mary L. Shapiro, as well as several other current and former SEC commissioners, among others.

ZAGREB, March 30, 2010 - Police on Tuesday arrested a former Croatian deputy prime minister and economy minister who had been the subject of a probe over his role in a major corruption affair, the interior ministry said.

Pula se nakon 2005 i 2008 godine ponovo našla na vrhu ljestvice najnesigurnijih gradova u Republici Hrvatskoj.

Analiza broja počinjenih kaznenih djela u 2009 godini pokazuje da je u prošloj godini u Puli zabilježeno daleko najviše imovinskih kaznenih djela, razbojništva, razbojničkih krađa, teških krađa, provalnih krađa i krađa nego u ostalim mjestima u zemlji. Pula se tako sa zabilježenom stopom od 23,22 imovinska kaznena djela na 1000 stanovnika našla ispred glavnog grada Zagreba (19,08) koji joj je neslavnu titulu oteo 2006 i 2007 godine.

The bombshell GATA dropped at the public hearing held by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission on futures trading in metals was stunning. Video of GATA Chairman Bill Murphy revealing a whistleblower source who warned the CFTC's Enforcement Division about market manipulation by JPMorganChase and witnessed JPM traders bragging of their exploits can be viewed here:

A journalist tried to arrest Tony Blair for 'crimes against peace' as the former prime minister arrived to give a speech at the European Parliament in Brussels. Mr Blair flinched as his accuser, left-wing writer David Cronin, wearing a press pass and carrying a notepad, put a hand on his wrist and told him: 'This is a citizen's arrest.'

The former leader is then said to have given would-be detainer a 'bewildered and contemptuous' stare before bodyguards pounced.

There was a time when the pen was mightier than the sword. That was a time when people believed in truth and regarded truth as an independent power and not as an auxiliary for government, class, race, ideological, personal, or financial interest.

Today Americans are ruled by propaganda. Americans have little regard for truth, little access to it, and little ability to recognize it.

Financijski totalitarizam je tijekom vremena doveo ekonomiju na samrt, a s njom i samo čovječanstvo. Apsurdnost života u kojem je ekonomija ujedno i sredstvo i kraj je svima postala jasna, a time je na vidjelo izašla i sama bit života, pusta praznina. Sunce modernosti je na zalasku, monetizacija svega je potpuno uništila značenja. Cijeli svijet se danas pretvorio u japanskog zombija 1990-ih kad je središnja banka pumpala likvidnost uz skoro 0% kamata koju je poslije reinvestirala u državne obveznice. Banke, hedge fondovi i ostale financijske institucije širom svijeta koriste jeftini novac da bi financirale deficite država što su prije toga financirale gubitke upravo financijskog sustava.

Na inicijativu članova koordinacionog tijela Udruženja "Naša Jugoslavija" u Zagrebu je dana 21. 03. 2010. godine održan osnivački skup Saveza Jugoslavena. Zadatak koji su prisutni pred sebe postavili jeste provođenje aktivnosti koje će omogućiti da se nacionalnost Jugoslaven uvrsti u red službeno priznatih nacija u svim zemljama nastalim na području nekadašnje SFRJ. Kao sve ostale nacionalnosti tako i Jugoslaveni imaju pravo na udruživanje, javno izjašnjavanje, opredjeljenje prilikom popisa stanovništva ili pak organizovanje u razne društvene organizacije. I Jugoslaveni imaju pravo na očuvanje kulturnog identiteta, istorijske, umjetničke, jezične i književne baštine.

Alternative currencies have already become a viable option, by using them we can build bridges between individuals, companies, countries and their unfulfilled needs and objectives. Crom Alternative Currency System is one of the valuable new tools available to all people worldwide interested in building a better future based on sustainable economy and common sense, financial democracy and social justice in whose heart beats the monetary sovereignty and financial independence of all community members as a basic condition of existing for any democratic civil society.

Here is another great news: Ithaca HOURS were visited by a top official of China's central bank, sent from Beijing by the President of the People's Bank of China (their Alan Greenspan) to talk about adopting HOURS as money in China. Wen Tiejun reported directly to the bank's president, who delivered the report directly to China's Premier. HOURS have since been established there.

Debt-Free Currencies: Ithaca Hours Going Global

According to the Ithacahours website, their debt-free money is going global. Great slap at the central banksters. While they may not state it in wording they have apparently discovered the basic axiom for debt-free money:


"There is a basic axiom on money that is either unknown by monetarists or ignored in favor of the many schemes used to enrich the few at the expense of the many. It goes like this:


"As universal prosperity is dependent upon the ability of Money to flow (its "velocity"), nothing may be done to money that would in any way impede that flow."


"This would exclude things like using commodities for money (gold, silver), adding bankers' gimmicks like interest to money, or in giving money additional uses beyond its sole legitimate use as a "medium of exchange."


"Money needs to be "created" into circulation by a system's wealth producers, never "borrowed" or "spent" into circulation by its bankers or consumers. It needs nothing backing it but the integrity of its issuers (in a second-rate democracy there can be no integrity).


"That is the rule, though it cannot be applied in this time and place. Money issuance is government's most sovereign prerogative, yet in honest form is as unobtainable as is the only workable FORM of self-government, a Republic.


"Had we a Republic, one of the very few prerogatives granted to the upper levels of government would be money issuance, a completely worthless medium of exchange, which being worthless would never be hoarded but would be quickly spent for something that one coveted for its intrinsic value. This velocity is what produces UNIVERSAL prosperity. Lack of velocity is what creates wealthy and impoverished classes of people, plus the struggling middle class that actually produces the wealth, and unfortunately, their ranks are constantly diminishing. "


While debt-free money cannot be instituted at this time by corrupt governments, obviously it can and is being utilized by some communities around the world. This is the biggest advance in monetary policy since the '30s when thousands of communities and counties across America issued currency that circulated during the Roosevelt bank holiday. Damn shame they quit it when the banks reopened. They proved we don't need the banksters leeching off our productivity. Another great advantage with Ithacahours or any local currency is that it is not acceptable outside the local economy and is therefore not siphoned off like a national or international currency would inevitably be. Central banks, including and since the first Bank of the US started by Hamilton do nothing for local economies but allow wealth concentration in the hands of the few while impoverishing the many.


This budding concept needs widespread distribution. It must be instituted when present governmental structures and the monetary systems they spawn collapse of their own internal rot and putrefaction.

Ima nešto od čovjeka do čovjeka što nas sve veže, a neda se dirati, omogućuje samodrživost elite i u isto vrijeme spriječava istinski napredak čovječanstva.

To nešto je toliko jednostavno da od jednostavnosti može zaboljeti glava, stvarati i dodjeljivati si novac, bogatiti se i kupovati tišinu bilo kojeg glasa koji pokuša prijaviti najveću prevaru otkrivenu nakon 2 Svjetskog rata. Ključ ogromne moći koja nam je okovala svaki pokret proizlazi iz stvaranja platežnog sredstva. Najveća od najvećih igara se sastoji u privatnom upravljanju sustavom za izdavanje sredstava za plaćanje.

Prominent economist Yukio Noguchi is one of the few who correctly predicted the collapse of Japan's bubble economy in 1987, warning the preceding euphoria was based on a major distortion in land prices. Now the doomsday prophet is making another terrifying prediction: Japan is likely to be devastated by a snowballing public debt that will bankrupt its government and trigger catastrophic hyperinflation.
