| Latinamerica’s financial system has passed the Financial Times test. In an article under the headline of “Latinamerica sidesteps the worst of crisis”, FT correspondents in Sao Paulo and Mexico City elaborate on the region’s banking industry and how “by accident and design” in spite of a long history of turbulence, it is weathering the global crisis. |

November 4, 2008 (LPAC)–French President Nicolas Sarkozy is raising the pressure against the banks and even sicking the media on those banks which received state money, but who are not, in turn, lending it to companies and individual clients. Credits to consumers and companies increased by EU5 billion last month, but there are many reports that on the least of excuses, banks block making loans.

Interesting that the likes of Lovett spend all their time appealing to the government for money for research, and yet ignore research carried out over the last four decades because it suggests the politically unacceptable conclusion that EM radiation is killing the bees and multiple other species, including, eventually, us.

They accused the Government of failing to invest in the research needed to stem diseases and parasites which are now thought to have destroyed one in three bee colonies over the past year.

Thierry Meyssan
2nd November, 2008
Depuis l’été 2006, Thierry Meyssan pronostique l’effondrement des États-Unis à moyen terme suivi de leur dislocation. Ce point de vue —qui a fait beaucoup sourire— trouve aujourd’hui un début de confirmation : rien ne parvient à stopper la crise financière US qui se transforme en crise économique. Selon cet analyste, qui est politologue et non pas économiste, les sommets internationaux qui se succèdent aujourd’hui n’ont pas pour but de résoudre la crise, mais représentent une révolte des États vassaux pour réorganiser un système qui, bien qu’agonisant, continue à profiter aux États-Unis.

So now we know exactly what Brown has in mind as regards his “new Bretton Woods”: a bailout fund for the IMF so that it can continue its work of destroying the real economy globally. Brown knows the UK and US are going down- the point is to make sure everyone else does too. It’s a kind of scorched earth policy. It’s hardly surprising that China and the Arab countries have reservations about this: let’s hope they all have the sense to block this at the G20 conference on 15th November.

Gordon Brown yesterday said he felt confident that he has successfully enlisted the help of Gulf states for international plans for an emergency bail-out fund, with both Qatar and Saudi Arabia indicating they will offer funds when leaders of the 20 most developed countries meet in Washington in a fortnight.

The really intriguing question here is where will Lloyds get the 4 billion to buy back the government’s preference shares. Could it be, by any chance, from the government?
Lloyds’ preference shares must be paid back before ordinary shareholders may receive dividends again
Lloyds TSB‘s shareholders were today given hope that the dividend drought ordered as part of the taxpayer bail-out would end next year.

WASHINGTON — For U.S. troops serving overseas, nothing comes easy. Not even voting
Military members may not have enough time to complete and mail in their absentee ballots for Tuesday’s election, thanks to slow mail delivery, lack of information sharing among election officials, and procedural errors. Read the rest of this entry »

The Wall Street Journal published a front-page article Friday reporting that the nine biggest US banks, which have received a combined $125 billion in taxpayer funds as part of the $700 billion bailout authored by Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and passed by the Democratic Congress, owed their executives more than $40 billion for recent years’ compensation and pensions as of the end of 2007.
