    Summary:
    Of the fifty-one(51) senior executives of the major Wall Street banks, trade exchanges, and regulatory agencies, thirty-seven(37) are Jews or have Jewish spouses. This is a numerical representation of 72%. Jews are approximately 2% of the U.S. population.* Therefore Jews are over-represented among the senior executives of the major Wall Street banks, trade exchanges, and regulatory agencies by a factor of 36 times(3,600 percent).
    * Jewish Population of the United States by State:

    Speaking as someone who is Jewish on one side of the family, I've always attributed the disproportionate numbers of Jews represented in finance throughout the ages as being a result of Jewish culture and Jewish families placing a higher value on higher education than many other minorities do. And once "in", it's easier for up and coming Jews just entering the workforce to network with family friends already on the inside. You can see this with all sorts of minorities in various fields that they tend to dominate.

    You can also see this kind of disproportionate representation among Sikhs in India.. Sikhs are a small minority but are "disproportionally" represented in business because they value education and hard work, perhaps moreso than many people who believe they will have to wait to be born into a better incarnation in order to prosper. This is probably changing now with the growing middle-class in India, but for many years it was true.

    Regional conflict escalation is an easy case. China depends heavily on Iran for oil. What if something bad happens there? Will China choose a side? I bet they will.

    In my opinion Chinese culture is a subset of American culture - just remove the religion and values, and you'll get Chinese culture.

    I don't think you need to try very hard to see how specific areas have the data hidden or ignored.

    The difference is simply a more sophisticated understanding of "information management".

    For example: the US reconnaissance plane that collided with a mainland Chinese fighter some years back. Try and find the data for exactly where said recon plane was at the time of collision.

    It isn't that the data doesn't exist or is a national security issue.

    It is that it is simply left out..."forgotten"

    For that matter, what about Gary Webb's work?

    Speaking of new buildings, no country or city can beat Singapore, where buildings just 10 years old are being demolished and replaced with new ones.

    It sure works to stir up emotion and hate and wars and similar though.

    How much mention is there of the internment of Americans of Japanese descent in WW II?

    Of the many-fold abuses of American Indians in the first 150 years of American Independence?

    How often is it remarked on the multiple attempts on President's lives in the last 'bad' period: 1973-1985?

    but... i wonder if the usa does not also have a firewall. i have a google alert set up to look for a 3 dozen phrases... one is 'fire economy'

    never comes up.

    kinda like someone doesn't want the phrase known/used.

    Did not China start restricting rare earth exports at one point? What if China starts pressuring the US via it's Treasury holdings? Who says it'll be China being the "trapped" aggressor? I think very well could be the US.

    I'm thinking about how both sides felt they were boxed into a corner -- aggravated by misinterpretations by the politicians complemented by a Japanese military decided on eventual conflict (the argument wasn't about going to war, it was whether to attack the US/Britain or the USSR)

    I'm just wondering how both sides could blunder into conflict.
    The China rare earths 'delay' was due to a dispute with Japan.

    As the US does almost no actual manufacturing using said rare earths, it is silly to say this was a move aimed at the US.

    Secondly the US has plenty of rare earths - it simply is cheaper to buy from China. The US is unwilling to undergo the highly polluting, high labor use, low cash returns of rare earth mining/processing:



    Inside the Baotou Xijun Rare Earth refinery in Baotou, where neodymium, essential in new wind turbine magnets, is processed

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/mosl...#ixzz1R9KJtH92

    As for Treasury holdings - I'm unclear on what kind of pressure you mean.

    Do you mean China desiring to redeem the Treasury paper certificates for electronic dollar bits? Or paper dollars? All of which the US Treasury as well as the Federal Reserve can create out of thin air?

    Please present something credible.

    Oil in the 1930's was literally the foundation of modern industry. No oil, no factories (assuming you don't have coal, which Japan doesn't).

    Certainly if we see any serious mobilization, we are on the cusp. I can not recall a situation when there has been a mass mobilization and those forces have *not* been used.
    I've mentioned this before, but If you had invested in humvee manufacturers after 9/11/01, you would have made a literal killing.

    really? go ahead. name 1 event in usa history that the usa gov't has erased.



    How many Americans can even tolerate the truth - obvious to everyone in the world - that it is black people who cause most crimes in our cities? You're probably thinking about deleting this post right now. You'll never find a Chinese person so deluded by mass propaganda they will shy away from that obvious fact.
    if more criminals in usa cities are african vs russian or italian... what's your solution? treat all blacks as criminals... like the cops do?

    congrats on bedding the racist chinese chicks. they don't know any better. chances are they won't see 1 black guy on the street in a year in china. all they know about blacks is what they watch in usa movies... the ones chinese officials let them see. what's your excuse?

    btw, this account by a black guy living in china is hilarious... lists the questions he gets from the locals all the time...

    Question #3: So… is it true? Do you have a big penis?
    IC: WTF?! Dude, I don’t even know you! What the hell happened to hello? How are you just going to walk up to me on the street, obviously drunk, and ask me some profane shit like that? Of course I do!


    Question #4: Can I touch your hair?
    IC: What the fuck is this, a petting zoo? Hell naw you can’t touch my hair. What kinda shit is that to ask someone? Can you touch my hair? Get outta here.
