Hans Imhoff: Dissertation von 1967
Former Commodity Futures Trade Commission Supervisor and Steering Committee Member of the “Plunge Protection Team”, Prof. Michael
Greenberger Testifies Before the United States Senate Committee “Energy Market Manipulations and federal Enforcement Regimes”:
“... if you were to add all of the WTI trading on NYMEX, ICE, and the
Dubai exchange, speculation might very well approach 80-90 per cent of the WTI trades executed by U.S. owned exchanges. By any objective
assessment, the crude oil market is now overwhelmingly dominated by speculation, most of which is not subject to the age old controls
imposed upon speculators in these markets. One can easily see then how Goldman Sachs, a huge trader in these markets itself, could confidently predict that oil will soon reach $200 a barrel.”
Non-Regulation Enabled by the CFTC
“For all of these reasons, the Federal Trade Commission should be
urged by this Committee to fulfill aggressively the 2007 Congressional mandate to stop any manipulative practices within the petroleum markets, including activity within the crude oil futures markets
distorting crude oil prices. The path for such an investigation has already been well marked by Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
The FTC should use all of the powers available to it to promulgate its rule and begin it investigation expeditiously. The stability of the American economy demands nothing less.”

3. Does it pose a threat to Russian missiles, by a capability to intercept those launched at Europe or the United States?
4. Is there a better way to do the job?

Book Description / Table Of Contents / About the Author
Extra in Wiener Zeitung
In July 1969, when Neil Armstrong took his first steps on the Moon, his
great leap for mankind was uniquely an American achievement. American vision and management, American science and technology,
American finance and investment, American skill and diligence, American will, planning and dedication accomplished what was arguably the greatest human achievement of the 20th century – perhaps of all
time thus far – and America and Americans stood alone as the only country and the only people who could have done it.
Yet it came just at a point when, as the passing years have increasingly demonstrated, American power had begun to wane. In
retrospect, what was a peak of human achievement at that time was also a peak in American power.

Confessions of an “ex” Peak Oil Believer
By F William Engdahl, September 14, 2007
“The good news is that panic scenarios about the world running out of
oil anytime soon are wrong. The bad news is that the price of oil is going to continue to rise. Peak Oil is not our problem. Politics is. Big Oil
wants to sustain high oil prices. Dick Cheney and friends are all too willing to assist.”

...And what if the validity of the original 18th century hypothesis that all oil and gas resources have been
generated from biological matter in the chemical and thermodynamic environments of the earth`s crust. There is an alternative theory -
already 50 years old - which suggests an inorganic origin for additional oil and gas (Porfir`yev, 1974, Abbas, 1996; Kenney, 1996; Gold, 1999)

Not so many years ago, many hoped Europe might step up as a
counterweight to US imperial policies. Such hopes were focused in
particular on Germany - not only as the leading European power, but as a known moderating, non-military force in international politics.

Asian Economy
until appx 1763
Money Went Around the World and Made the World
Go Round (from reOrient)
“But why and how did this money make the world go round? Why did anybody—indeed everybody
!—want this money so much as to drive up its price, and in Asia and especially in China to keep
the money that arrived from elsewhere? Because people and companies and governments
there were able to use money to buy other commodities, including
precious metals such as gold and silver. ... No less and no more than
anywhere else, either then or today. That is, the money supported and
generated effective demand, and the demand elicited supply. Of course
, additional demand could only elicit additional supply where and when
it could. That is, there had to be productive capacity and/or the
possibility to expand it through investment and improved productivity.”
“The argument here is that that expansion was possible and did happen
, especially in many parts of Asia. Otherwise, the Asians would not have
demanded and bought the additional foreign and domestic money either
by supplying commodities or other money for it. If supplies of
commodities had not been able to expand, any increased demand for
them would just have driven up the price of existing commodities
through what is called inflation—and/or there would not have been
demand to import this additional new money in the first place! That is,
the new silver and copper money, not to mention the additional credit it
supported, increasingly monetized and stimulated production in the
world, regional, "national," and many local "economies," that is in these
parts of the single global economy. ... The combination of these
arguments here supports my thesis that there was only one world
economy/system and that it had its own structure and dynamic. Money
played an important part during the period of global development from
1400 to 1800. Money went around the world and made the world go
round in this global casino in which it supplied and vastly increased the
lifeblood that fueled and oiled the wheels of agriculture, industry, and commerce.”

The Essence of Insolvency
and Chapter 9 of US Code on Bankruptcy
Before describing insolvency procedures pursuant to the US Chapter 9
in detail a brief general point about the essence of all insolvency
regulations seems advisable to clarify their very essence. As already
shown above there is the need for an efficient procedure to solve cases
of overindebtedness, as phantom debts otherwise continue to grow
creating problems to anyone, including creditors. Historical evidence
proves that even debt prisons cannot make unpayable debts paid. Once
it is clear that creditors cannot get all payments to which they are
entitled, it becomes obvious that a procedure to share losses is
necessary and advisable. Such procedures were developed by all civilised legal systems.
