G20 could be bun fight
The Times: Saving car giants will cause havoc, Gordon Brown warns US
Tensions at the start of the G20 summit run high as Prime Minister deems return to 1930s policies ‘unacceptable’
“If we get into a situation where countries made decisions irrespective of what happened anywhere else, then we will see the same problems of other times. The dividing line here is between an open society capable of trading round the world, against a protectionist response that happened in the 1930s and is totally unacceptable.”
The EU said that it was ready to take action against the US at the World Trade Organisation if aid for the stricken US car industry was judged by the European Commission as illegal under international rules.

Car companies provide more than 10% of jobs in the USA, Brown has NO RIGHT dictating policies. He had NO RIGHT bailing out all the financials whilst letting Rover go to the dogs, when it was his monetary policy of inflation that led to Rover going bust.

At the end of the day an elected politician has to listen to and act for those who vote. This is not conducive to 'global solutions' (we can't even get a level playing field with healthcare in the UK). Protectionism is a natural human knee jerk response. It's what we do when we feel threatened. Would it not benefit EU car makers if these US car giants went down? So the EU protesting is just as protectionist.

Who's listening to the fat twit anyway. Obama has ended the special relationship in divorce. Gordon Brown is the only world leader that wanted to invade Iraq. We are now isolated and exposed after turning our backs on the Europeans. What a strategic blunder, welcolm to third world britain - the old superpower of the world.

sounds like new world disorder to me
but then hasn't Gordon got a lot of friends?

GB is panicking. The UK is dependant on open markets. If a protectionist wave sets off, then we can't pay for our food and fuel imports.

No, GB is calmly gloating, saying that all this suffering is great, because we can have a new global order run by the banks. But, of course, I'll get a smart ass saying "Oh, look he's providing evidence, he's providing links, just as predicted, oh, how predictable that he back up his claims, don't listen to p4ac, no no no, listen to p.doff with his one line quip cliche's that make you feel warm inside."

“Here is one optimist's reason for believing unity will prevail ... within the next hundred years ... nationhood as we know it will be obsolete; all states will recognize a single, global authority.
A phrase briefly fashionable in the mid-20th century -- 'citizen of the world' -- will have assumed real meaning by the end of the 21st.
All countries are basically social arrangements, accommodations to changing circumstances. No matter how permanent and even sacred they may seem at any one time, in fact they are all artificial and temporary.”

It’s fascinating . . . as the ENDGAME above proves in beyond quadruplicate . . .
the tyrannical satanic globalists are now on record in MANY publicly available authentic documents in support of not only globalism in general but in all it’s horrific tyrannical specifics . . .
trying to remember . . . Ted Turner on record advocating killing outright 75% (?or more?) of the “USELESS EATERS” of the world’s population. Gotta save the environment etc . . . get that global population down to 200-500 million.
I had also resisted believing that the ethnic targeted engineered plagues etc. was really true. But the money and paper trail is now well documented on such research.

I can't see the USA letting their Auto industry go to the wall.
Something I have been thinking about over the last week is waht would happen if the
USA simply told China it wasn't going to pay back all the money they have borrowed.
The obvious Chinese response would be to stop sending any goods there so there
might be a shortage of Christmas decorations and $10 DVD players. But providing
Americans could still get a USA made car etc would the outcome be all that bad for them ?

OMG, have you not noticed "vapour" trails persisting for hours in the mid summer heat? Come on, do you remember that before 1996?
Erm ....... and how hot do you think it is at 40,000 feet?
Contrails = products of combustion of jet fuel = water vapour + CO2 + traces unburnt fuel etc. No chemicals intentionally put there to kill off town planners I'm afraid.
Presence of contrails depends on atmospheric conditions eg barometric pressure, temperature, dew point etc, which vary from place to place (pilots even have to adjust their altimeters during a flight to take account of changes in pressure). Trails appear to turn on and off as planes pass through areas of differing conditions - some favourable for trails, others less so. Trails will also persist if the conditions are right - as do clouds, which are also mostly water vapour.
Still, you believe what you want to believe. Stay detached from reality and carry on thinking that the illuminati are out to get you if that makes you feel happier.
