UK bails out an American company to prevent food supply crisis: The UK government has agreed to subsidize a major US fertilizer manufacturer at a cost of several million pounds to taxpayers in order to restart carbon dioxide production vital to Britain's food supply. The gas is used to stun animals for slaughter, as well as in packaging to extend the shelf life of fresh, chilled and baked goods, and in the production of carbonated drinks.

The financial media are incapable of bringing a critical mindset to this issue because of their too-cozy relationship with Wall Street (several financial journalists actually seem to be engaged in blue-smoke-and-mirror attempts to obfuscate issues on behalf of the financial elites who turn up wherever this crime is occurring). As a result, the crack in our financial system appears to be reaching catastrophic proportions. - Deep Capture Analysis 2007
As nuclear weapons stockpiles worldwide rise and countries upgrade their warheads and missiles there is an unprecedented need to de-escalate tensions and prevent nuclear Armageddon.
Upon reading such a statement, one might regard it as self-evident. But the important thing is that it wasn’t you or me, but the Deputy Chief of the U.S. Armed Forces, General John E. Hyten, who formulated it, expressing simultaneously the hope that cooler minds will prevail. He made those statements during a speech at one of Washington’s most important think tanks, the Brooking Institution.
General Hyten’s speech is important for three reasons. The first is that the general is the second-ranked American active duty military officer, in command of an arsenal capable of wiping out life on our planet. He knows all too well what he’s talking about.
Second, because neither American politicians nor the military have made such statements for a quarter of a century, since they felt as all-powerful Gods, after the fall of the Soviet regime.
