Summary: the use of the word NATIONALISATION by the media
LOG: 1/22/09 06:24:45 Your Initial Feedback
With respect I believe that Bloomberg and other channels are using this word too much and contribute to the fall in financial shares in both the USA and UK. I think that you should try not using this word for at least one month.
Stock markets usually anticipate facts by 6 months. I believe that if we could have healthy stock markets then the economy could improve. This requires both retail and professional investors.
I would also suggest that both capital gains taxes and with holding taxes on dividends be removes to encourage investment. This would encourage investment in quoted companies and compensate the investors (including pensioners) who are getting little or no interest on their savings in banks due to the current low interest climate.
We do not hear on the media the word Nationalisation used with respect to the French Banks - just no bonuses
which is the way it should be. Please restrain your reports for at least one month the use of the word NATIONALISATION

The BBC investigate the shooting of 2 Palestinian children
Yesterday I watched this investigation by the BBC where it was alledged that an Israel soldier in cold blood killed 2 children in Gaza and badly wounded the third one of the family. The BBC had kindly re-united the wounded child with her father. There were witnesses to the alledged murder.
I did a search on Google "war crimes israel" and this is a sample of what I found.

Israel's critics and enemies will see the United States as the side to be blamed for the ongoing violence in the Gaza Strip, believes Congressman Ron Paul. He says the US should review its unconditional support of the Jewish state.

Scam Alert (e-mailed to me today)
VISA FRAUD
Just a heads up for everyone regarding the latest in Visa fraud. Royal Bank of Canada received this communication about the newest scam.
This is happening in southern Alberta right now and moving. This one is pretty slick since they provide YOU with all the information, except the one piece they want. Note, the callers do not ask for your card number; they already have it.
This information is worth readi ng. By understanding how the VISA & MasterCard telephone Credit Card Scam works, you'll be better prepared to protect yourself. One of our employees was called on Wednesday from 'VISA', and I was called on Thursday from 'MasterCard'.
The scam works like this:
Person calling says, 'This is (name), and I'm calling from the Security and Fraud Department at VISA. My Badge number is 12460, your card has been flagged for an unusual purchase pattern, and I'm calling to verify. This would be on your VISA card which was iss ued by (name of bank). Did you purchase an Anti-Telemarketing Device for $497.99 from a marketing company based in Arizona ?' When you say 'No', the caller continues with, 'Then we will be issuing a credit to your account. This is a company we have been watching and the charges range from $297 to $497, just under the $500 purchase pattern that flags most cards. Before your next statement, the credit will be sent to (gives you your address), is that correct?'
You say 'yes'.
The caller continues - 'I will be starting a Fraud Investigation. If you have any questions, you should call the 1- 800 number listed on the back of your card (1-800-VISA) and ask for Security. You will need to refer to this Control Number. The caller then gives you a 6 digit number. 'Do you need me to read it again?'
Here's the IMPORTANT part on how the scam works:
The caller then says, 'I need to verify you are in possession of your card'. He'll ask you to 'turn your card over and look for some numbers'.
There are 7 numbers; the first 4 are part of your card number, the last 3 are the Security Numbers that verify you are the possessor of the card.
These are the numbers you sometimes use to make Internet purchases to prove you have the card. The caller will ask you to read the last 3 numbers to him. After you tell the caller the 3 numbers, he'll say, 'That is correct, I just needed to verify that the card has not been lost or stolen, and that you still have your card. Do you have any other questions?'
After you say no, the caller then thanks you and states, 'Don't hesitate to call back if you do', and hangs up. You actually say very little, and they never ask for or tell you the card number.
But after we were called on Wednesday, we called back. Within 20 minutes to ask a question. Are we were glad we did! The REAL VISA Security Department told us it was a scam and in the last 15 minutes a new purchase of $497.99 was charged to our card.
We made a real fraud report and closed the VISA account. VISA is reissuing us a new number. What the scammers want is the 3-digit PIN number on the back of the card. Don't give it to them. Instead, tell t hem you'll call VISA or Master Card directly for verification of their conversation.
The real VISA told us that they will never ask for anything on the card as they already know the information since they issued the card! If you give the scammers your 3 Digit PIN Number, you think you're receiving a credit. However, by the time you get your statement you'll see charges for purchases you didn't make, and by then it's almost too late and/or more difficult to actually file a fraud report.
What makes this more remarkable is that on Thursday, I got a call from a 'Jason Richardson of MasterCard' with a Word-for-word repeat of the VISA Scam. This time I didn't let him finish. I hung up! We filed a police report, as instructed by VISA. The police said they are taking several of these reports daily! They also urged us to tell everybody we know that this scam is happening. I dealt with a similar situation this morning, with the caller telling me that $3,097 had been charged to my account for plane tickets to Spain, and so on through the above routine.
It appears that this is a very active scam, and evidently quite successful.

the other side - we try to be imparial in our attempt to improve the world
1. Why do Hamas militants send missiles into Israel? If we can provide a means to stop this grievance then we might be able to stop these missile attacks
2. What has been the cost of the Israeli military attack on Gaza? Could Israel, with their friendship and contact with the USA not have mounted a defense system along the Northern Gaza border which could knock out the militants missiles before they flew over Israeli territory. We are sure this would have been far most cost effective than the current military operations.
3. The cost of Palestinian life - we cannot put a price on this and the killing of Palestinian civilians in a UN school is unacceptable and like the Balkans war the culprits should be brought before the Criminal Court in the Hague.
