The Tax Whose Name Cannot be Spoken

May 25, 2012 by

 Praised by Barack Obama as a model for the world, Australia's highly unpopular carbon tax, set to take effect from July 1st, is set to be policed by laws which forbid business owners from criticizing it for causing price rises -- with thought criminals who do so under threat of being hit with huge fines of over $1 million dollars.

"SHOPS and restaurants could face fines up to $1.1 million if waiters or sales staff wrongly blame the carbon tax for price rises or exaggerate the impact," reports the Daily Telegraph.

Praised by Barack Obama as a model for the world, Australia's highly unpopular carbon tax, set to take effect from July 1st, is set to be policed by laws which forbid business owners from criticizing it for causing price rises -- with thought criminals who do so under threat of being hit with huge fines of over $1 million dollars.

"SHOPS and restaurants could face fines up to $1.1 million if waiters or sales staff wrongly blame the carbon tax for price rises or exaggerate the impact," reports the Daily Telegraph.

According to ACCC deputy chairman Dr Michael Schaper, the warning applies, "to comments made by staff over the phone, on the shop floor or in meetings. It also covers advertising, product labels, websites, invoices, contracts and contract negotiations."


Bank Runs - Go Short Banks, Long Mattresses

May 25, 2012 by

While the global elite are still clinging to the hope that the euro single currency can survive a Greek exit that now looks inevitable, some members of the financial aristocracy have already given up on the entire eurozone altogether.

In an article for the Financial Times entitled, We must break up the failing euro, former Bilderberg attendee Sir Martin Jacomb concedes that all efforts to rescue the euro have been in vain, calling for "all 17 members to decide at once to revert to national currencies."

Jacomb attended the 1985 Bilderberg Group meeting in New York but has not been invited back to the elitist confab since. No wonder given the fact that he is obviously an ardent skeptic of the single currency that Bilderberg hatched as far back as 1955.

Jacomb, former chairman of Canary Wharf Group, argues that a "five day bank holiday" should be imposed to allow financial markets to absorb the shock of the collapse of the euro.

"Experience shows that currency break-ups, like devaluations, have to be handled so as to avoid anticipatory speculative activity. The essential requirement is a single, unequivocal decision to revert to national currencies, reached confidentially by all 17 governments and announced without prior notice," he writes.

As we reported last week, most of Jacomb's contemporaries are still of the mind set that the single currency can ride the storm.

The dominant view was echoed by the Peter G. Peterson Institute for International Economics, which counts amongst its members prominent Bilderbergers such as Paul Volcker, Lawrence Summers, and David Rockefeller.

The institute's thinking was summarized in a piece by Senior Fellow Arvind Subramanian, who argued that Greece should not be allowed to exit the single currency because if the nation were to then stage a dramatic economic recovery it would provide a path for other eurozone countries to follow, and in turn torpedo dreams of a European federalist superstate.

Bilderberg is so desperate to save the euro because it represents the entire foundation of their global financial agenda to create regional currencies and carefully-managed bureaucratic federations on the same model as the European Union.

Bilderberg-chairman Étienne Davignon bragged that Bilderberg helped create the euro by first introducing the policy agenda for a single currency in the early 1990′s, which was later formalized into the 1992 Maastricht Treaty.
