but after reading this... hmmm?
maybe we must now change our opinion...?

Startling Unpublished Keynes Equations Discovered

LONDON | Friday Sep 30, 2011

(Routers) – A remarkable discovery reveals equations that economists say could end the business cycle - forever.

Ian Macallum, spokesman for the Royal & Ancient Historical Society of London, told Routers that the equations were contained in an unpublished manuscript which was found in the attic of an 18th century flat in Soho.

"We were skeptical when initially contacted by the current owners” said Macallum. “There is no record of Keynes ever having resided at that address. But we can confirm that the manuscript is indeed an original work of Lord Keynes."

The formulas seem to have been derived from the Navier-Stokes equations which describe the motion of fluid substances.

“It’s pure Keynesian genius” said former Fed Governor Fred Mishkin. “There is a strong consensus among economists, at least within the Federal Reserve, that liquidity is the answer to the age-old question ‘what is the meaning of life?’” So, it makes perfect sense that someone as brilliant as Keynes would adapt these equations to a framework for fiscal and monetary policy.”

Although very technical in original form, Moody’s Chief Economist Mark Zandi said the final derivation of the equations can be simplified to the following:

“Unless you’re a PhD economist, I think it’s impossible to appreciate the elegance of the final derivation: by raising every stimulus factor to the power of infinity, you immediately move the probability of future recessions to zero. It’s brilliant. The notion that ‘risk’ is a necessary component of free market capitalism will finally be discredited.”

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke was equally sanguine. “I’ve asked some of my fellow academics at CERN to begin modeling the equations with an array of neutrinos, mixed with a small amount of unconventional policy. Even without the helicopter, it should be theoretically possible to achieve an economic growth rate faster than the speed of light. Einstein was a monetarist, so I’ve always been skeptical of his Special Theory. It is now painfully obvious that he should have raised ‘c’ to the power of infinity, not 2.”

“I’m still trying to catch my breath!” exclaimed Nobel Prize winning economist Paul Krugman. “Literally, when I read the equations, I felt a chill down my spine and a tingle in my balls. We can finally end the partisan bickering and get the global economy back on track.”

ok, ok... we'll bump this topic on breaking news...
hey, sure - it's totally blatant and we all know it (intuitively) anyway...
but now, there is an "official study" to confirm it!

"Bankers rule the world."
A new Swiss Federal Institute of Technology study says so.
http://arxiv.org/PS_cache/arxiv/pdf/1107/1107.5728v2.pdf

Abstract
The structure of the control network of transnational corporations affects global market competition
and financial stability. So far, only small national samples were studied and there was
no appropriate methodology to assess control globally. We present the first investigation of the
architecture of the international ownership network, along with the computation of the control
held by each global player. We find that transnational corporations form a giant bow-tie structure
and that a large portion of control flows to a small tightly-knit core of financial institutions.
This core can be seen as an economic “super-entity” that raises new important issues both for
researchers and policy makers.


but, if you don't want to wade thru the entire (rather technical) 36 page pdf...
a nice succinct summary can be found here...

The Bilderberg Group and the FED just now. Soon - well we'll see. The walls are starting to crumble. We have an interesting few years ahead.

Bankers are sooo small picture.

I vote on competing hyper-dimensional entities and us being just an experiment if not even food in a literal to spiritual sense.

And yes, psychopathic central bankers are part of that system of control in the power hierarchy.

so how is that the states are still considered a developed country?

perhaps we need another catagory, like "over developed" country.

Remember the golden rule. He who has the GOLD rules!

Where is US gold by the way? Fort Knox? Yes the one that has not been audited since 1952!?

After this financial mess clears there will be two types of people left. Those who have gold (and silver) and those who lost everything.

After 100 years there will be one type of people (who are reading this topic now) left. Those who lost everything, their life including. I think. What kind of control over the "world" are you talking about, when you cannot control your very own body. Breath in, and hold your breath for 20 minutes. Or, don't sleep for 3 nights. Or, just live for 150 years. After that -- let's talk about the ability to "control".
