The British oligarchy and their corrupt medical-industrial complex love nothing so much as the double whammy: killing two birds with one stone. Or rather killing a lot of pensioners and getting rid of last year’s unused toxic vaccine with one dictatorial decree. Unused because people didn’t want to subject themselves to it, a wise decision since it contains toxic mercury amongst other things. Let’s hope they show the same wisdom this year and reject the whole package.
‘The consequences of flu are a greater risk than any risk posed by the vaccine itself.’
So the vaccine is in his view a lesser risk. He’s welcome to his “expert” opinion, but anyway good to see the existence of risk conceded

European Council on Foreign Relations
On Monday, Sarkozy, Merkel and Medvedev will sit down to discuss a new European conception of global security. With the current order dysfunctional and inadequate, it is not before time that Russia is included in the discussion, writes Mark Leonard.
The French seaside resort of Deauville came to prominence in the late 19th century – a time of grand hotels and swanky casinos. It was also a time when Europe was divided up between great powers who each jealously guarded their own little patch of Europe, with individual spheres of influence scratching up against each other. It is therefore a fitting location for a summit meeting involving three of the continents’ perennial great powers – Germany, Russia and France (Monday 18th October) – at a time when Europe is once again becoming a multipolar continent.

This is cheeky by Geitner- apparently he wants the IMF to enforce this: if anyone is corralled you’d think it was the Americans. Either they’re mad or they’ve got something hidden up their sleeve. I reckon it’s the former though.

The United States sought to corral reluctant finance leaders into a deal that would commit emerging markets to cut their current account surpluses and allow their currencies to rise at a meeting on Friday. G20 finance officials started their formal meetings on Friday with nations from the developing world and Japan dismissing the US proposals which it says are aimed at defusing tensions that economists fear could trigger trade wars.

Why “if”?- the cuts will lead to a slump as surely as night follows day. And quantitative easing will go ahead leading to further capital outflows and ultimately to an inflationary tsunami as the pound sinks and commodity prices are driven up. Altogether, blindly to the abyss!
