Hollywood, Florida is facing a $38 million budget deficit in 2012 and has voted tentatively to increase property taxes and firefighting fees. So the prospect of its redevelopment arm writing off a $1.7 million loan for a Holocaust center is creating some consternation. In 2005, the city gave the center a $50,000 grant for roof repairs, and in 2007 forgave another $500,000 loan for renovations.

In essence, it appears as if much of the monetary stimulus generated by the Federal Reserve System went into the Eurodollar market...Cash assets at the smaller U.S. banks remained relatively flat . . . . Thus, the reserves the Fed was pumping into the banking system were not going into the smaller banks. . . .business loans continue to “tank” at the smaller banking institutions. . . .The real lending by commercial banks is not taking place in the United States. The lending is taking place off-shore, underwritten by the Federal Reserve System and this is doing little or nothing to help the American economy grow.

It's not only Greece that's seeing mass civil unrest. In the UK around three quarters of a million public sector workers are set to protest against government plans to change their pensions, and freeze pay. Many schools will be closed, and transport is likely to be severely affected, as workers embark on a one day strike. RT's Laura Emmett listened to the voices of frustration.

Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird met this week with Libya’s National Transitional Council, the rebel organization claiming to be the “sole representative of all Libya", even though it represents less than half of Libya’s tribes. The group’s leadership is almost entirely elitist, Arab, pro-Western businessmen with American Ph.D.s. It has formed a central bank to act as monetary authority over a country it does not control and has made contracts with foreign governments for oil in rebel-held territories.

The accomplishments of the Rothschild's and fellow banksters is nothing short of astonishing. They have literally got the world to hand them the right to manufacture money out of nothing and then to turn around and lend the mammon back to the world plus usurious interest! Almost single handedly, this small group of men have dominated the world. However, in their efforts to dominate the world they have caused extraordinary pain and agony and even potentially the complete destruction of life on earth.

It is government policy. And it is the largest conceivable transfer of wealth and resources to the wealthy and the corporate world that the media never look at...Of course, this being India, every plunder of public money for private profit is a “pro-poor measure”. You can hear the argument already: the huge bonanza for the gold and diamond crowd was only to save the jobs of poor workers in the midst of a global economic crisis. Touching. Only it didn't save a single job in Surat or elsewhere.

To understand the historical context of the current crisis, it is pivotal to address the nature of the most vital and powerful force within the capitalist global political economy: the central banking system. One of the least understood, most widely ignored, and mysteries of capitalism, the central banking system, is also the source of the greatest wealth and power, essentially managing capitalism – controlling the credit and debt of both government and industry.

The Federal Reserve is one of the most powerful and secretive institutions in Washington, long considered beyond the reach of lawmakers. But now, as details emerge of how the Fed secretly doled out more than a trillion dollars during the financial crisis, a rare bipartisan movement in Congress demands that the Fed be held accountable.

The Iraq government and business establishments here are saying ‘No’ to Bangladeshis and are keen to get workers from India to man their establishments. What about Iraqis, I ask Mohsin, who owns a small shop filled with exquisite crockery . “Oh no, they don’t have much education and years of free food from the government has made them lazy. But Indians, we know, are very hardworking.” In other news, many Iraqis are living below poverty level, with entire families subsisting on as little as $4 a day.

Last week, Mikis Theodorakis -- known for composing the music for Zorba the Greek -- appeared on television and blamed U.S. Jews for Greece’s economic malaise, declaring he is “anti-Israel and anti-Semitic.” “Everything that happens today in the world has to do with the Zionists,” he said. “American Jews are behind the world economic crisis that has hit Greece also.” The composer also warned "we're in danger! Zionism and it leaders are here, meeting in our country! "This is no laughing matter.”

Its fourth-quarter profit of $190 million was less than Wall Street had been expecting...
