  • nuclear power sucked when it was forced on us public, we where asseured it was safe. we had no voice. no we have no livelyhood .

    yet the voices that tell us whats what still have complete authority over us. they cannot pluck things out of our enviroment yet they continue to steer life in a fearing insecure and deprived fasion.

    aboslutly no stabillity is coming from national powers that are governed from money mongers.

    Japan can no longer buy our US treasury bonds and will need ongoing financial help for the recovery effort?

    Can the US economy survive an increase in prices for smart phones, apple parts, laptop batteries and car parts
