Financial crisis could trigger social unrest, warns UN chief

THE global financial crisis has brought an abrupt end to a long era of economic growth, and if not handled properly it could result in social unrest and political instability, according to the United Nations.
Seeking additional emergency financing from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the central banks of the advanced countries, the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon suggested a six-point agenda to set the world economy in order.
“If not handled, today’s financial crisis will become tomorrow’s human crisis. Social unrest and political instability will grow, exacerbating all other problems,” he said, declaring open the Follow-up International Conference on Financing for Development
(ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW)
The ultimate danger would be a cascading series of crises, each building on the other, with potentially “devastating” consequences for all, he said.
He welcomed the fiscal and monetary rescue packages and stimulus plans launched by major economies, but said that probably more needed to be done since the vast sums committed to bail-out “dwarfed” overseas development assistance, which remains a crucial pillar of development finance for many countries.
Elaborating on the six-point agenda, he said there was a need to address the liquidity needs, especially for the developing countries.
He said that the wealthiest nations had moved to keep credits flowing at home, and added that credit flows must be ensured to developing countries as well.
Their (wealthy nations’) currencies were not reserve currencies; their foreign reserves, often large, were not sufficient to withstand the threat coming from today’s crisis, Ban Ki-moon said.
“We, therefore, need additional emergency financing from the IMF and the central banks of the advanced countries. Without it, the credit crisis will spread to emerging economies,” he said.
In this process, growth would stall, hurting them and the world as a whole, he said.

We don`t need the U.N. to fix this problem, they are part of the problem along with corrupt politicians and globalist bankers. We need to fix the problem by taking their power from them.

Is it possible the UN will orchestrate (or help to orcheatrate) the “uprising” to gain more power?
December 2nd, 2008 at 3:54 pm
This is a TEST this is only a TEST, if this were a real emergency. You would all lock and load and inflict mortal damage to those that have perpetrated this crime. But you HAVE NOT so we will continue the TEST. Until we have the tanks roll, and we will tell you that, that is also a TEST. A TEST to see how stupid and apathetic you idiot Americans are, and if you are dumb enough to march your stupid asses into the FEMA camps by your own free will.

Ford Motor Company A little history on modern civilization:
Everything that we love about modern America was created by The Ford Motor Company and Thomas Edison.
General Motors is a copy of Ford by a consortium of American investors. So was Chrysler.
From the beginning of time and up until the early 1900*s and the development and mass production of the automobile by Henry Ford, founder of the Ford Motor Company, the vast portion of the population walked from here to there and worked barefooted like draft animals on farms.
The first mechanized transportation came with the railroads in about 1850. Railroads did not serve a statistically significant portion of the population. By 1875 street cars were coming into use in the largest cities, being first pulled by horses.
With the advent of Henry Ford*s Model T automobile regular men of normal intelligence had for the first time in the history of the earth the ability to produce their own goods and get them to market.
Simultaneous with the development of the automobile, The Ford Motor Company also invented and put into place the device called a tractor. This machine liberated hundreds of millions of men and women from the incomprehensible drudgery of subsistence farming world wide.
These tractors were also used to power portable lumber mills and some mining equipment. With this tool it did not take long for the intelligent segment of the population to start making things and get them to market. In a few short years, other men built machines that could fly.
When we hear talk in the media of Ford or GM going bankrupt or being bought out by the Communist Chinese Government …. and the ignorant commentary eructed by the stupid and uneducated American talking heads, bipeds who never made so much as a wooden candle holder in junior high, then it is necessary for those of us who know the score to attempt to shed a little light on the subject.
Here goes:
The global steel industry was created by the Ford Motor Company. Prior to autos, steel was used for the railroads and the making of guns and shrapnel for war. Ford can be credited with supplying the demand for enough steel of many shapes and grades to build the America the reader sees when he looks at the skyline of any city.
Ford can also be credited with causing the glass industry to expand exponentially.
With the manufacture of millions of cars comes tens of millions of rubber tires and a demand for copper wire and the beginnings of electrical controls. Gears and rivits provided a hundred thousand good jobs and sent thousands of young men and women to medical school.
The machine tool industry and everything that spun off from it was a creation of The Ford Motor Company.
Ford also created the airline industry and the planes to support it. The Ford Tri Motor is still in use in rural South America today.
It is not a stretch to note that every manufactured item anyone surfing the Internet can see was a direct result of the industry created around the Ford Motor Company.
It is also a demonstrable fact that more people have had their lives made livable as a direct result of the operations of the Ford Motor Company than all the religious figures, politicians, doctors, do gooders and wars for peace combined since the beginning of time.
It is another easily demonstrable fact that everything good about modern America was created by The Ford Motor Company. This includes every industrial device ever created or manufactured and all the benefit this has brought our families and country. Every little girl playing piano is the direct result of good parents and the industrial activity created by The Ford Motor Company.
Because the high technology product of The Ford Motor Company liberated mankind from the status of draft animals the super rich realized that their monopoly on power was beginning to wane. The super rich, who profited handsomely from doing business with the Ford Motor Company, began to make war on it. Now, after 110 years of making America all that it could be the super rich are killing The Ford Motor Company.
Early in the 1990*s GM was ordered to open manufacturing plants in China of face a bankrupting recall of every car it had ever built.
The labor unions, protected by the government, forced unconscionable elements into their contracts but still Ford and GM survived, so powerful was the economy they created.
Perhaps the reader remembers the exchange between Larry King of CNN and candidate for president George W. Bush during the 2000 election theater:
King: *So, what you are saying is that no one ever lost money underestimating the intelligence of the American People?
Bush: *Well Larry you know I cannot give you a direct answer and be truthful but I know what you are saying.*
This is one of the moments they were talking about and it is lamentable. The American people have grown fat and lazy with all these developments and cannot now see or understand what is about to happen.
If America loses the domestic ownership and operations of The Ford Motor Company or GM then the citizens can expect to return to draft animal status in short order. It is that serious. The new foreign owners will not use American suppliers for even one screw, nut, or bolt much less, paint, engines or transmissions.
The demonstrable fact that not one American politician holding high office comes forth and says the bankrupting of The Ford Motor Company cannot, shall not and will not happen is proof that they are all in an organized conspiracy to dehumanize the American People back into draft animals.
Nothing can do as much damage to America, and the American People, as the bankruptcy of the Ford Motor Company.
Protest this with as much vociferation as you can, the life you love depends upon it.

so much talk here and so little action.
iceland protested and what did it get them?
we the sheeple and that includes me.
/sigh…
December 2nd, 2008 at 4:56 pm
it already has caused social unrest. though America so far hasnt seen any real unrest. so far just heated discussions. but Iceland, as many of you already know, is in a totally different situation. Iceland, a country I once knew to have WAY higher standards especially in education than the US. From what I was told many of them know at least 2 languages fluently. and to see their country in chaos like this really makes me nervous.
December 2nd, 2008 at 4:58 pm
gee whiz, ya think that could cause unrest when you lie, rob the citizens blind, shove their faces in it and repeat. just as they planned. oh noooo, no planned was an awake, armed flock very maddddddd and gaaathering. might as well go out fighting the evil demon money changing lizard people. looks like a bad shopping month. darn. really cool that we paid for our own rex 84 camps. till the day freaks…..you know when, where and who. tcb and r. e.
December 2nd, 2008 at 5:11 pm
No s--- !!!
December 2nd, 2008 at 6:28 pm
OK, so is this the part where the IMF comes to rescue the countries that need money to continue surviving, then starts buying up our infrastructure and takes over based on interest on debt that is impossible to re-pay??
December 2nd, 2008 at 6:53 pm
Not in this c---tree.
December 2nd, 2008 at 7:12 pm
Two years ago People were saying I was crazy, even my boss. I kept saying water, food, fuel, ammo. Guess what there doing ? Me and a coworker saw a long train today with tanks going through downtown Denver today, she just look at me and turned white as a goast. Now Im telling you this is no joke. Thanks Alex for the Info.
December 2nd, 2008 at 7:25 pm
Who are we really? What are we truly capable of?
If you are curious in mind over matter this might apply to you. If you are not, maybe the subject deserves another look?
OLD PARADIGM
Brain is seperate from body
Man is isolated from his body and his world
Time and Space are finite orders
NEW PARADIGM
Living Consciousness is not an isolated entity
Things are indivisible
We think, therefore effect
Under the scientific law of observation, nothing is in its final state and everything is affected by those who perceive it. Subatomic particles communicate in various ways. One way is through photons, emitted light, that can even cover large physical distances and still be received with specific messages.
THIS IS PROVEN SCIENCE NO ONE TALKS ABOUT

I’m not trying to convince anyone of anything.
I just feel that we have been lied to and brainwashed so long that it is time to offer TRUE, REAL solutions to those who are open enough to seek and evaluate concepts by themselves.
December 2nd, 2008 at 8:01 pm
Is it a single or a two stage trigger?
December 2nd, 2008 at 8:14 pm
Wow Joe, that was an outstanding dissertation, but you left out one ironic fact, Ford was one of Adolf Hitlers biggest financial supporters with awards from that rat all over his office, with that in mind, it is peplexing they are now bringing down the company that funded the 3rd reich to facilitate the 4th.
December 2nd, 2008 at 8:22 pm
I see lots of fear mongering going on from the media and power structure. When they tell you on tv that there might be a great depression it’s bull s---. When they tell you on tv that you should buy gold it’s bull s---.

December 3rd, 2008 at 5:21 am
the big boys are fleecing the people with the stock market. they are running up the market to get the lil greedy guy to buy buy buy. then they sell, tanking the market and with it, the lil guys money. then up it goes again, getting the greedy lil guy to buy in with what he has left, only to repeat the cycle. i’ve been watching it happen for a few months now. if you have money in the market, research and find a safer alternative for it. pull all the lil guys money out and let the big boys fleece themselves.
December 3rd, 2008 at 6:57 am

Never in a million years did I think the Chimp was smart enough to run this country into the dirt like he has. Never.. But he did. We let him do it and now they win! CRAP!!
December 3rd, 2008 at 11:33 am
It’s shure good to know the old U.N. is on top of all this. Naturally all they can think of doing is more of the same that caused all of this crap in the first place.
Put some more worthless money in the bank so I can take out a loan to buy more ammo and supplies for the coming revolution!
LONG LIVE AMERICA!

It’s time for everyone to wake up and get ready. I know people take us as crazy. But get the word out and try to inform the idiots
they are trying to pull off the nwo
December 3rd, 2008 at 12:33 pm
Boy is he sharp as a bowling ball
hell yes there will be unrest
no food and money tends to create that !
December 3rd, 2008 at 12:43 pm
Any one noticed that the stock market seems to go up when more money is turned louse out of the bail out bucks? Social unrest.. Well that will take hunger or in responce of a phyical action from the anti liberity folks. That is still questionable weather or not citizens will respond to phyical actions from them. But hunger will, always has. Most all revelutions and revolts have stemmed from hunger. When people feel hunger, the thought of dieing comes to mind. Fight or flight. Hunger stricks the masses before taranny knocks on indiviguals doors. The UN knows this and have seen this from other Asain countries. That’s why the warning. Those in power here must believe they can pull this off with a really good plan. The drugs in the water and what ever other means they can get them in the people to weaken us. What other country in the world pumps vaccines in the people like America dose. Year after year after year. Think about how much liquid has been pumped into you over the years. Realy. Take a syringe with water in it and start empty it say 20 times ( 20 years worth ) into a jar. That’s why were not up in arms about this crap. Our arms are too sore from all the shots to raise up.. LOL.
When they start taking people away, like Alex and others that are trying to infor and wake up American citizens to the Governmental take over. Will people do anything then? They didn’t in Nazi Germany. They just got on the trains. It won’t be any different here, this time. Everone will hope someone else will do something or that it will be over soon or hope, hope, hope, when hope runs out. there is no hope people!
December 3rd, 2008 at 12:47 pm
The following is from the book Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. If you have not read it you should make it a point to do so. It is most relevant in our society today as many if not most of her predicted evolution of the Mobocracy of Democracy and the struggle between capitalism and it virtues of creation of wealth versus the liberal society of entitlement and non producers of wealth is coming full circle and being implemented with precision in society’s around the globe.
“…Then you will see the rise of the double standard—the men who live by force, yet count on those who live by trade to create the value of their looted money—the men who are the hitchhikers of virtue. In a moral society, these are the criminals, and the statutes are written to protect you against them. But when a society establishes criminals-by-right and looters-by-law—men who use force to seize the wealth of disarmed victims—then money becomes its creators’ avenger. Such looters believe it safe to rob defenseless men, once they’ve passed a law to disarm them. But their loot becomes the magnet for other looters, who get it from them as they got it. Then the race goes, not to the ablest at production, but to those most ruthless at brutality. When force is the standard, the murderer wins over the pickpocket. And then that society vanishes, in a spread of ruins and slaughter.
“Do you wish to know whether that day is coming? Watch money. Money is the barometer of a society’s virtue. When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion—when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing—when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors—when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don’t protect you against them, but protect them against you—when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice—you may know that your society is doomed. Money is so noble a medium that it does not compete with guns and it does not make terms with brutality. It will not permit a country to survive as half-property, half-loot.
“Whenever destroyers appear among men, they start by destroying money, for money is men’s protection and the base of a moral existence. Destroyers seize gold and leave to its owners a counterfeit pile of paper. This kills all objective standards and delivers men into the arbitrary power of an arbitrary setter of values. Gold was an objective value, an equivalent of wealth produced. Paper is a mortgage on wealth that does not exist, backed by a gun aimed at those who are expected to produce it. Paper is a check drawn by legal looters upon an account which is not theirs: upon the virtue of the victims. Watch for the day when it becomes, marked: ‘Account overdrawn.’
“When you have made evil the means of survival, do not expect men to remain good. Do not expect them to stay moral and lose their lives for the purpose of becoming the fodder of the immoral. Do not expect them to produce, when production is punished and looting rewarded. Do not ask, ‘Who is destroying the world?’ You are.”
Ayn Rand, Atlas Shugged

All it takes for evil men and women to continue and rule over us,is for good men and women to do nothing!
Take action and be that change!
December 10th, 2008 at 11:10 pm
I am just as angry as everyone else. Were all tired of it, we all see it, were all reading about it. We do nothing, sure we talk including myself here typing on this post. Need an Organization to start for us, Liberty, Freedom, Our Constitution. A place for us to assemble along with dates and times, and grouped, northwest, southwest, mid & central, and your east coasts. Wouldn’t be too hard if theres a rancher on here?? for land to start it on? start buzzing Ideas and go from there??….
NRA is a joke, If they were not, the Sheriffs in L.A. wouldn’t be having their Gifts for Guns.
I think the people here are right on, revolt, martial law after the revolt?? who’s to say? who’s revolting first? the Hungry American?? or the prepared one?? And if we keep up this (TALK) and it just remains talk, we will ultimately be fighting in the streets against a hungry American while the Gov’t watches for awhile and then decides to send in there dogs. Or total downfall and we give in like the Germans to the Nazis.
I have no idea what Organizations are out there already, I think none. There was the French resistance and, LOL thats probably what we’ll be if it keeps up just being talks.
So…………. Only answer I can think of is if your armed stay that way and you better have at least 5000 rounds of one caliber and 3 firearms for that one caliber, purchase a high end handgun, fatigues, vests, go to a surplus store, year supply of MRE’s. The 2nd Amendment is to protect us from Gov’t and defense of our persons. I am shocked at how much we curse the MAN but fail in everything. I vote,Ya LAUGH it up, cause its all I can do, send a donation to Gun owners of America, work for my piddley ass wage while my boss goes to europe on vacation and I cant afford to leave my state. Death to the middle class, Working Poor.
Maybe end all these posts for us to bitch in, so all of us people can’t vent and it starts to bottle up and then lets see what happens, Violence is a Solution, sorry . Thats the way its going to end
