language named English.

I’ll start by acknowledging that those of you who have read my posts
before will know that I’m not a particular fan of Gordon Brown. I’ve
no serious prejudice against him, or even against Labour, but I’ll
confess that having watched him perform as Chancellor I’ve never been
impressed.
The credit crunch is a major economic event – hopefully to be
mitigated from the worst of its immediate impact by the intentions of
the Fed to buy up all the bad loans. That may or may not work, but if
it does, it will very likely still have some unforeseen longer-term
consequences that could either be good or bad. We’ll see.
There is a lot about the credit crunch that Gordon Brown isn’t
responsible for.
He’s not responsible for the human failings of greed and avarice which
have been the biggest driver towards achieving the near destruction of
the banking system - bottom line is, if you give greedy people enough
rope they will hang themselves with it, as they very nearly have.
Nobody is singularly responsible for human nature, but anybody in a
position of authority is responsible for at least being aware of human
nature.

Wall Street on alert
Lehman says it will file for bankruptcy. Fed and 10 strong banks expand
lending to weaker players. Plus: Merrill and Bank of America close to deal.
By David Ellis, CNNMoney.com staff writer
Last Updated: September 15, 2008: 1:42 AM EDT
NEW YORK ( CNNMoney.com) -- After enduring one of the most dramatic days in
its history, Wall Street received a climactic jolt on Monday when Lehman
Brothers, a 158-year-old investment bank undermined by bad bets on real
estate, said it will file for bankruptcy.
The fall of Lehman followed a wild, three-day scramble by top Wall Street
executives and federal regulators who worked around the clock to come up
with a solution to a still-unfolding financial crisis.

IT'S OFFICIAL, FREEMASONRY IS FINISHED
As from 2nd Sept 2008, the criminal network/organisation of Freemasonry (and
all affiliated groups) is winding down.
However, we have to give the Government Departments some time to clean up
this evil human virus.
Members are leaving in their hundreds as most had no idea it was being run
by an inner core of criminals who use Stasi tactics on an unsuspecting
public. Here is a small list of groups affected............ Common Purpose,
Masons, Co Masons, Eastern Star, Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, Knights of
Columbus, Opus Dei, Speculative Society, Round Table, Rotarians, Orange
Order, Scientology, Shriners and all infected religions and institutions.
We would like to warn members of these groups not to listen to their
controllers as they have been fed disinformation. These possessed
controllers also have the most to lose.
If you are a member and you decide to continue working for these criminals,
the victims and their families will sue you for murder, attempted murder,
gang-stalking, forced suicide, psychological terrorism, gas-lighting,
mobbing, etc. It's your choice. Modern technology will be used to
investigate. Don't forget that ex-members are already talking.

Old News, Yesterday's Sell-Off
By Frank Ahrens
Washington Post Staff Writer
Tuesday, September 9, 2008; A01
A six-year-old article mistakenly seen by Bloomberg financial news users
yesterday reported the bankruptcy of United Airlines and triggered a massive
sell-off that nearly obliterated the company's stock in a matter of minutes.
The light-speed wipeout is a powerful reminder of how quickly bad
information can spread via the Internet to a trigger-happy Wall Street that
is willing to dump millions in stock before checking the facts.
It exposed the vulnerability of Bloomberg's influential brand name to bogus
content -- the old article was posted to a Bloomberg subscription service by
a Florida investment adviser, one of Bloomberg's many "third-party
content-providers." Moments later, it popped up under United Airlines
company news as a headline only: "United Airlines files for Ch. 11 to cut
costs."
And it showed how the imperfect technologies of Internet search combined
with human failure can cause ruinous results.
