Hyper-inflation couldn't exist if Zimbabwe didn't print reams to begin with. Who minted those 10-Million Dollar Notes? The Farmers?? Supply Caps and devastated industry were the result of rampant inflation. Not the cause. You've got it backwards.
Your own grip is the one that is lost....how can you conduct capitalistic operations in an environment that is rigged against you. The loss of control of our government to global wealth entities is the PRIMARY concern.....money is secondary. This current financial crisis (like others in the past and more ahead in the future) was CREATED, and the fact that you don't get it shows your inability to grip the factual reality of our present day. The "GAME" has to be fixed before it is even worth putting up any more chips on the table. The U.S. financial system is highly dysfunctional, and until that is CORRECTED our (honorable citizens) endeavours will always be at risk to dishonorable forces. Vigilant and responsible PATRIOTS need to step forward to correct our countries problems.....that is the required first step imo.
Fortis raised capital against all promises of not going to do this. (not good for shareholders) They need the capital for the take-over of ABN-AMRO for which they had not enough. On top of that, there will be no dividend cash pay-out. Now Fortis uses the meltdown of US financial markets as an excuse for this capital raising move.(chairman Maurice Lippens stated that he expects about 6000 regional banks in the USA to go broke) P.S. One of the capital contributors is kolonel Kadhafi from Libya.
the british environmentalist movement which is a front for british mineral interests are in collusion with the old line italian banks who date from the 15th century to destroy all world currencies
