I see an economic diasater coming...

Those who wield power are so severely infected
with their Love Of Money and Lust For Power
that they've lost their minds.

Exactly right.   I e-mailed a video of what Ron Paul said in this regard, but I sent it to myself as a reference.
I'll try and upload it the this thread shortly.   In short:   Congressman Paul is correct in his prediction:
       The economy can easily collapse.

I picked up a book on the state of our oceans today.Its horrible what we have done to the earth in the last 50 years.We are all to blame. http://www.oneworldoneocean.com/pages/why-the-ocean
We all must work harder and care harder.Or we will lose what we have.triffid


But the ocean is in trouble  90% of the big fish are gone. Tuna, swordfish, halibut, cod, and flounder populations have been devastated by overfishing.

The average size of the remaining big fish has been cut in half or less in the last 50 years. The average weight of a swordfish caught today is 90 lbs., down from 266 lbs. in 1960.

Discarded plastics have formed a toxic "plastic soup" that is gathering in 5 massive ocean gyres around the world. As the plastic breaks down, it is eaten by sea animals, causing illness and death. It eventually enters our diets, too.

There are a reported 405 ocean "dead zones" — areas where there is little to no oxygen due to fertilizer run-off and nitrogen pollution. Dead zones are doubling every ten years.

Our oceans account for 71% of the planet, but less than 2% of our oceans are protected. We have protections in place for nearly 12% of all land (through areas like national parks).

What happens if we do nothing?Many popular seafood species will likely be wiped out within 40 years with current fishing practices.
Unless we change our rate of consumption, we're within a century — possibly even less — of a world where jellyfish are the only wild seafood option left.
The ocean is at a tipping point. Oceanographer Sylvia Earle says our actions over the next 10 years will determine the state of the ocean for the next 10,000 years.



We must change our rate of consumption and work harder with nature to make fishing more sustainable.
We cant let big corporations or ourselves  plunder and pollute the oceans.We are all to blame in this matter.Mass extinctions are now occurring in the oceans.The likes of which have not been seen for 55 million years.triffid

The interview is presented above.   I agree with Paul.   The 'money men' on Wall Street, and elsewhere, have done financial wonders with the economy up to this point in forestalling an economic crash.   It just won't go on forever.   They'll run out of things to try that WON'T make the economy worse if they try to stop a free-fall deflationary, ever-downward, 'death-spiral'

Aye, what is happening to our oceans and the
World as a whole is criminal.  Just as it was
foretold it would be in our "Last Days."

The Love of Money is a heartless affliction.
