Genocide: Depleted uranium used on purpose by the USA and UK to create birth defects and cancer in Iraq 14 x worse than Hiroshima
Rates of leukemia and birth defects “rose dramatically” due to use of depleted uranium by the US military since 2003 invasion.
“After the start of the Iraq war, rates of cancer, leukemia and birth defects rose dramatically in Najaf. The areas affected by American attacks saw the biggest increases.
Wow. This story about Iceland’s “recovery” is a complete lie.
: Reykjavik, Iceland - Without doubt, Iceland was the canary in the coalmine for the
sovereign debt crisis that is unfolding across the world right now.
It was the first place to go bust, crumbling under the weight of a
credit-fueled boom that brought down most of the country’s banking
sector and sent the currency into freefall.
Banks either went bust or got nationalized. And investors around the world suddenly woke up to a sobering reality of a major default… something that had been considered preposterous only months earlier.
The situation got so bad that the British government (whose taxpayers had much to lose from Iceland bank defaults) used their anti-terrorism legislation to seize Icelandic bank assets in the UK!
It was a spectacular collapse. And the first of many. Ireland, Greece, Cyprus, etc. were soon to follow.
Yet unlike the bankrupt countries of southern Europe, Iceland dealt with its economic emergency in a completely different way.

DETROIT, USA TODAY, LEEDS, UK TOMORROW: Where neoliberalism is going
The Slog: I do find it fascinating that, now Detroit has finally defaulted,
with other local administrations surely soon to follow, it doesn’t seem
to occur to most American commentators that this is the beginning of the
end for their country. If you move jobs offshore, then degradation,
drugs and crime immigrate very quickly to replace them.
There are, of course, a thousand reasons why Detroit is broke, and
the American Right is scribbling so much about it – in a hurry to blame
the Democrat administration for everything – you could be forgiven for
imagining their wrists might actually be engaged in a rather different
activity. But at base level, the simple fact is that one President and
Congress after another – starting with Reagan himself, easily the worst
offender – carried on the myth of reducing the State when actually they
were increasing the cost of it but delivering less to the Citizen. The
cost increase was at least partly a result of borrowing money while
pretending that America was still top of the heap (and so it was OK to
strip out its home-grown assets to vultures like Romney) when in reality
its traditionally global moneymakers were not moving forward at all.

Gold: Physical Demand Vs Paper Supply
Submitted by Tyler Durden: From the huge demand for physical gold from Asia to repatriation demands, and from the draining of COMEX gold inventories to the excess supply of paper gold, there is an increasing 'gap' between the perceived 'price' of gold and the cost to get one's hands on the precious metal. Santiago Capital's Brent Johnson provides a brief but complete summary of the various conundra (which we have described in detail)
occurring currently in the manipulated metals market. Perhaps the most
telling phrase comes towards the end when Johnson notes, "I don't know how to say 'Hunt Brothers' in Mandarin, but it might not be a bad idea to learn."
