By Mark Gilbert
Nov. 25 (Bloomberg) — Food prices will rise next year, prompting a revival of protectionism from food-growing nations and risking a renewed bout of rioting, according to Jochen Hitzfeld, an analyst at UniCredit SpA in Munich. Read the rest of this entry »

Britons blame U.S. for the credit crisis
Tue Nov 25,
LONDON (Reuters) – More than a third of Britons blame the U.S. for the financial crisis and economic downturn, according to a survey, and three-quarters say they have little or no faith in banks.
The research, by advertising agency McCann Erickson, found almost 40 percent of people blamed the U.S. for the credit crisis, with 27 percent saying U.S. banks were responsible and 10 percent pointing the finger at the outgoing U.S. government. Read the rest of this entry »

There is a highly sensible article in today’s Times by Patrick Mercer MP about the possible death of Rashid Rauf (whose family are denying his demise).
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/columnists/guest_contributors/article5233272.ece
New Labour remains so bent on its simple minded pursuit of a foreign policy based on brute violence, that questions of legality are simply ignored. The Conservatives – in this case Mr Mercer – must again be congratulated for resisting simple populism and standing up for the fabric of legality that must underpin freedom.

MILLIONS of bees disappearing from the world every year could mean the end to the fruits and nuts we love, a St Albans bee keeper has warned.
Eileen Remnant met Hertfordshire MEP Richard Hewitt last week to find out more about the virus responsible for killing off honey bees – which are relied on to pollinate a third of our food.
Eileen, who owns four colonies with a population of 40,000 bees in Potters Crouch, said: “People don’t realise how important bees are to our food supply.
“If the disease carries on killing as many bees as it is at the moment then I can see fruits and nuts becoming a real rarity – even fruits like apples and pears.
“It will happen in my lifetime if something isn’t done.”
In Britain, not-for-profit bee keepers are responsible for the pollination of crops but across the world, especially in large countries including America, pollination is a commercial industry with millions of bees transported around the country in trucks.
It is these bees which are prevalent with the virus. Mr Hewitt intends to raise the issue in European Parliament to insist on careful treatment of bees worldwide to help quash the spread of the disease any further.
Mr Hewitt said: “I’m calling for more research into this problem.
“The dissention of the bee population is more damaging to our environment that you might first think.
“I met with Eileen to get an idea of what’s happening on the ground.”

Failed CB Franchise & Gold Explosion
By: Jim Willie CB, GoldenJackass.com
— Posted Wednesday, 26 November 2008 Source: GoldSeek.com
The OMEN for a powerful shift in the gold market in my playful mind was the very real earthquake on November 18 here in Costa Rica, a clear signal from the financial gods, no minor tremor, measured at 6.0 on the Richter scale. The tremor confirmed the tectonic shifts to come to the gold market without question. This was the biggest earthquake in my life, no damage at all though, roof and toys intact. Numerous stories testify in aggregate to a severe tightening of the physical market, certain to put pressure on the corrupt paper market managed by the COMEX and its parent NYMEX.

Up until now, the image of the helpless Polar Bear floating away on a piece of ice has been synonymous with the Global warmist’s campaign. It looks like they have drifted off message and we, at Inthesenewtimes, would like to thank the Polar Bear community for helping us expose the Global Warming Theory for what it is; a pre-meditated lie.
By Christopher Booker
Second only to the melting of the Arctic ice and those “drowning” polar bears, there is no scare with which the global warmists, led by Al Gore, more like to chill our blood than the fast-vanishing glaciers of the Himalayas, which help to provide water for a sixth of mankind. Recently one newspaper published large pictures to illustrate the alarming retreat in the past 40 years of the Rongbuk glacier below Everest. Indian meteorologists, it was reported, were warning that, thanks to global warming, all the Himalayan glaciers could have disappeared by 2035. Read the rest of this entry »

Les officiels US entretiennent la rumeur de la loi martiale
L’éventualité de l’imposition de la loi martiale aux États-Unis est désormais publiquement évoquée par de nombreux responsables politiques, aussi bien états-uniens que britanniques. Selon les intervenants, cette décision pourrait être justifiée soit par la crise économique, soit par un nouvel attentat majeur comparable à celui du 11 septembre 2001.
