A forecast made by Denmark-based Saxo Bank, chaos will take a grip on the world in 2008. Oil prices will skyrocket to 175 dollars per barrel, the Chinese market will collapse by 40 percent, whereas the U.S. will suffer a 25-percent setback. All this will happen because of the mortgage crisis in the USA which already slows down the U.S. economy.

Madame Speaker, I rise to introduce the Free Competition in Currency Act.  This act would eliminate two sections of US Code that, although ostensibly intended to punish counterfeiters, have instead been used by the government to shut down private mints.  As anti-counterfeiting measures, these sections are superfluous, as 18 USC 485, 490, and 491 already grant sufficient authority to punish counterfeiters.

Michael Collins Piper, a reporter for the American Free Press, seems to advocate Israeli Mossad as being the "All Seeing Eye" at the top of the pyramid.  The research put forth by Piper and many others, is extremely bias and focused on identifying Jewish names in all the conspiracy theories, and then building an argument from that, rather than presenting any evidence.  It is weak, reckless and poor to suggest that there is a Jewish conspiracy based solely on the findings of Jewish names in different areas of power and then accusing them of crimes there is no evidence of.
