Very unsettling story. The boy seems genuine. And your wife's niece sounds genuine too Franky. You can't put something like that down to a child's imagination. It's way too specific and detailed.

Edd those are the sheep who believe that it will get better and Kim the artificial house price is just as you say artificial, unless there is a another major war I think this will happen in the USA before 2020 since America has bought millions of dollars of guns and bullets and like I said once america goes under we will be next.
Read discussionThe word economy comes from the ancient greek oikos=home and nomos=law.
Basing my opinion on the etymology of the word economy, I would have to say that as long as people mistake boxes for houses and houses for homes, people are going to continue to suffer from mislabeled monetary policies.
Kim made a great point about the cyclical nature of this farce/fartus.
Growth is followed by inflation, prosperity is followed by dept, spiritual awakening by spectacular displays of the savagery of competition.

I expect things to slowly get worse over the next few years. If interest rates go up a lot of people will be unable to afford to pay their mortgages. And if they stay low, economic growth is almost impossible. It's hard to be optimistic these days.

Ed007 do you think Edward (D of K) was the one pulling the strings regarding that fateful night?

PS - the more I read on this the more I begin to think not only was it planned well in advance, but possibly years rather than months.

There is plenty of evidence to support the theory put forth by ed033.
Operation paperclip is well documented and quite a few books have been written about it. Some delved on nazi technological advances quite a lot and make for a very interesting read.

Economics in broad terms is cyclical and the post war economics of Britain have always followed the housing market. Each boom period is followed by a bust, 50's, 70's, the late 80's boom and 90's recession and the last decade. There is no reason to suggest the pattern will be broken. And already house prices are back on their way up.
So superficially I think the economy will improve or it will look like that to some people, especially the middle incomes. To the lower incomes it will not. Of course the fundamental underlying problems of the economy will remain unsorted so in reality the economy will not improve.

It returned to the news recently, when a new book was released alleging he ended up in Brazil where he remarried. Think the article appeared in The Daily Express (I know). Here's a link:

Apparently the 'Boston Brakes' method was used to crash the car. It is also alleged that something similar was used with Michael Hastings' car.

There is a direct link to hollywood and cia funding for certain movies yes.
Read discussionEd033 - the director of John Carter is actually directing the Finding Nemo sequel; Finding Dory. John Carter was his only "live" action movie as his previous credits are all PIXAR films (Finding Nemo, A Bugs Life & WALL-E). However, you are correct in that he has been "black listed" at Disney, with one of the reasons he is directing "Dory" is due to Ellen DeGeneres demanding he return as director.
Read discussionI do believe this will happen sooner than later, once the united states goes under then it will be a pack of cards folding then we will be next, I think it was published in the media last week that the top 300 in the wealth list in this country have more money combined than the whole of the uk, all of these 300 will be notified away ahead of time to get there money out before the s**t hits the fan and of course the elitist will not feel the hardship.
one thing I do not agree with is this pinning the borrowing all on the state, go back how many years ago it was created the simple truth is if they paid normal working class people appropriate wages then there would be less people relying on the state, it seems to me that this has been done by design to keep us reliant on government handouts, the thing I would really love to know is who is the people/cooperation's who are calling in these debts now?
one last note I am not clever enough to sort out our problems but if I had my way, who ever we owed money to I would say we will not be paying you back like it or lump it or better still you can have the monarchy, second I would not import anything, surly we have the capabilities to feed /warm /help/ build ourselves but for all that to happen we would have to get rid of these clowns in power now, in a macabre kind of way that will only happen realistically when these debts are called in.

It wouldn't have to be direct funding. It could be in the form of tax breaks. Many films make use of US military assets, films like Top Gun or the transformers franchise, have made use of military equipment and personal. Obviously this wouldn't come cheap but costs could be waived. Both films have been used as recruitment propaganda and have shown spikes in enlistment after going on release. Then there are various other costs that could be cut by government involvement, such as location costs which could be minimised by using government owned land or buildings.

Franky, are you saying every single film that contains a terrorism theme or a action thriller which shows Chinese, Korean or Russian is funded by the US government?

You also have to look at the complicity of the Vatican and the then pope as well as many nazis escaped that way. I agree it was planned in advance which shows what sort of leadership it was.
Two questions. Why was he allowed to escape and if it was known he had escaped why was he not hunted down. Somebody had to gain something from his escape but who and what.

Growing up it was inconceivable he could have gotten away. But my father and a lot of other veterans suspected he escaped. And although the official soviet view was events happened as depicted unofficially there was the suspicion aiding by distrust of the Americans who as we know are not trustworthy.

I think if you look at the huge ego of the man, he was not the type to allow himself to be cornered and take his own life.
It's said he was flown to Norway via Denmark on April 30th 1945, but he could have been gone even before then. Several U boats made the trip to Argentina. One at least, was sunk off the coast of the US, but it was believed more than one made it to Argentina. Eisenhower and Stalin both have said on the record that they believed Hitler survived beyond the war.
The corpse alleged to be Hitler was clearly someone else. I'm absolutely convinced that he made it to Argentina and lived until 1962. This wasn't planned at the last minute; the Nazi's had been moving a huge amount of wealth to Argentina for some time. There is plenty of evidence that he lived in Argentina, and none that he died in Berlin.
