Well, it would seem that Indonesia will have elections yet again. They are scheduled to take place on 9 July 2014. They will, hopefully, elect a new president… and their political landscape will never again be the same…yadda…yadda…yadda. Boring stuff. Then why? Why make an article out of it?
Good question.
It is not what's in the election that interests us, but what's left out of it; or more precisely,…

This is a subject that most people in developed countries probably won't understand, but it is one that people in underdeveloped countries live through every day. Therefore, we will plow away with it. The question is simple. Why is that Capitalism works in the West but it does not seem to work in other under-developed places? Particularly Latin America?
We need to start somewhere, and we will start here. One…

No, we are not being attacked by beings from other planets, we have our own aliens (politicians) sowing enough chaos, death and destruction to last us for a very long time. We don't need more.
This is the beginning of the end of an era. The whole of the Eastern European / Asian geopolitical map is being re-written. As such, it truly is The End Of The World As We…

Dear reader. This is our last post. That's it. We call it quits. Goodbye. We were mistaken and we found proof. Keynesians and Monetarists got it all right and we were wrong. Concomitantly and as promised, from now on we will support Central Banks and all politicians that work so hard to benefit humanity.
Finally! We have the technology and the data. We can reconstruct the truth. The gentile folks…

It's official folks. The Norwegian government has declared war against the lethal Viennese Pastry in all its forms and shapes often accompanied by its sidekick the dry biscuits and its pose, the cake. This pastry (and its gang) has been known to rampage Norwegian breakfast and even afternoon snacks! But no longer. Thanks to the fearsome and tireless work of the Norwegian Food Safety Authority (Mattilsynet) Norwegians will, from now…
A Maltese Bus Called Bankruptcy

Malta has its own bus service. It is run by the government. It's losing money left, right and center, or at least this is what the newspaper Malta Independent reported in its article "Government-run bus service loses EUR 3 million".
It would seem that between January and February this year alone, the bus service lost 3 million EUR. Of course, we don't know what the total damage will be, since March…

The fact that Sydney's roads are clogged, jammed and packed is no surprise. They have been so for quite a while and they continue to be so (actually worsening), despite the government spending "billions" (who knows what the exact sum may be when everything is done) over the last 12 months alone.
A few numbers tell a compelling story:
Average speed on the M4 and M5 drops down to 40…

In our article The USSR Strikes Again we explained how Putin's master plan to reconstitute Russia will unfold. It would seem that things are accelerating far beyond of what we predicted; they are, however, on the predicted path.
Just a few news from the Ukrainian newspaper Ekspres.
- Less than a thousand separatists took buildings and in Donetsk (East Ukraine) and demanded a referendum to enter Russia.
- EU ministers are discussing how to…
Lesson #206 – Inflation Inflation Inflation

No, we have not been influenced by real estate brokers. We have been influenced by Monetarist economists and their twisted (or quirky) way of looking at things.
We have often spoken about the evils of inflation and how it is manufactured by Central Bankers on demand from politicians (see for example Fake Money For A Fake Economy, Senseless Inflation And Interest Rates, Central Banks Must Go).
However, we have never…
