Global Imbalances, Power Shifts & Multilateralism


Title:
Global Imbalances, Power Shifts & Multilateralism

Description:
This panel discussion, featuring Dr. Joseph Stiglitz, Dr. Jose Antonio Ocampo, and Dr. Mark Weisbrot, was organized by the Center for Economic and Policy Research, and held at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Multilateral economic institutions are facing a period of unprecedented challenges — among these are large macroeconomic imbalances (including the US current account deficit), stalled negotiations at the WTO, and a much-reduced IMF. Three economists discussed some of these current challenges and their implications for economic growth and development. The panel discussion was followed by a brief question and answer period.

Codex Alimentarius PT 1/9
In the words of Ian R. Crane: Having spent the past twelve months investigating Codex Alimentarius, I am deeply disturbed by the almost total lack of awareness (or even interest) with regard to the implications of this pernicious global Commission, particularly amongst those most affected by the excesses of this restrictive legislation. In the words of the National Health Federation[i], the aims and objectives of Codex Alimentarius are as follows: * Only low-potency, me too supplements available that will do nothing for your health. * All or most foods genetically-modified. * Beneficial supplements unavailable or sold by prescription only. For many people, this agenda is so outrageous, they cannot believe such goals are achievable; yet this may well be the reality as soon as 31st December 2009, if the Codex Alimentarius Commission continues to disregard input from those who offer a counter perspective to the combined forces of Big Farmer & Big Pharma.

Corrupt Federal Reserve - Robbing Americans Since 1913 [1/3]
_Expand for Parts 1, 2 and 3_ The Federal Reserve is neither Federal nor a Reserve. Owned by a corrupt group of International Bankers, it is a privately owned monopoly, largely responsible for creating America's National Debt. It is also a parasitic and unnecessary entity that literally creates American currency out of nothing and then collects interest on the backs of taxpayers for doing so. _______________________________________ Part 1: Corrupt Federal Reserve - Robbing Americans Since 1913 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPU8w7Bxc0A _______________________________________ Part 2: CFR - The Secret Government http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQZ56hkKOlk _______________________________________ Part 3: CFR Propaganda - The Media's Main Stranglehold http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrGNNZnz8EI _______________________________________ LINKS and REFERENCES: 1.
