Why have we Abandoned Free Markets? / Politics / Market Manipulation
By: Michael_Pento

Trend Following or Market Trend Manipulation? / Politics / Market Manipulation
By: Andrew_Abraham
Trend following commodity futures trading as well as stock traders were villified last year as speculators.

As an example in Bloomberg news yesterday it was reported that The Commodity Futures Trading Commission ( CFTC) will announce plans to introduce curbs on speculation of commodities including energy.

The U.S. Russian Summit Turns Routine / Politics / GeoPolitics
By: STRATFOR
The Moscow summit between U.S. President Barack Obama, Russian President Dmitri Medvedev and Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has ended. As is almost always the case, the atmospherics were good, with the proper things said on all sides and statements and gestures of deep sincerity made.

Bioweapons, Dangerous Vaccines, and Threats of a Global Pandemic / Politics / Global Pandemic
By: Stephen_Lendman
Although international law prohibits the use of chemical and bacteriological weapons, America has had an active biological warfare program since at least the 1940s. In 1941, it began secret developmental efforts using controversial testing methods. During WW II, mustard gas was tested on about 4000 servicemen. Biological weapons research was also conducted. Human subjects were used as guinea pigs in various other experiments, and numerous illegal practices continued to the present, including secretly releasing toxic biological agents in US cities to test the effects of germ warfare.
