It takes a nation to protect the nation
U.S. Financial Collapse & the End of US Hegemony
This is the very best and the simplest that I have seen the world's economic turmoil explained. It is put in terms that a twelve year old can understand and explains how we got where we are, why we can't get out of it, and where it is leading. This is a video that covers our current financial practices. It does not delve into financial manipulation, or a New World Order conspiracy...simply economic practices that are destined to fail. Everyone who watches this will better understand that what we are seeing ahead is an oncoming train.

Obama is probably too busy playing golf to pay any attention to this, but to me it looks like the beginning of the end of the dollar as world reserve currency:
Russia to be first BRICS country to ratify $100bn currency pool - envoy
Russia aims to become the first country in the BRICS group of leading emerging economies to ratify an agreement on the foreign currency reserve pool, according to Russian Foreign Ministry Ambassador-at-Large Vadim Lukov.
"An agreement will be ratified soon on establishing a pool of foreign currency reserves. Russia will most likely be the first country to do this," Lukov said on Friday.
South Africa will contribute $5 billion, Russia, India and Brazil will allocate $18 billion each while China will provide the remaining funds, according to the envoy.
The goal of the pool is so that BRICS member states could urgently replenish their liquidity from it in different proportions to resolve problems with their balance of payments.
Meanwhile, Moscow is sure that new members will eventually join the New Development Bank(NBD), as the group wants to avoid it being called the ‘Bank of BRICS’.
In July, BRICS members signed an agreement in Brazil to forge ahead with the $100 billion NDB, which would also possess a reserve currency pool worth over another $100 billion.
BRICS Rating Agency
Experts from BRICS countries are also discussing the creation of a new independent rating agency the Russian envoy said, adding that China’s rating agency Dagong was currently in talks with Russia on the issue. The new Universal Credit Rating Group (UCRG) is to rival the so-called ‘Big Three’ that currently dominate the industry. The creation of an alternative agency was raised after Standard & Poor's, Moody's, and Fitch Group downgraded their rating regarding Russia’s creditworthiness following the Western anti-Russia sanctions.
“After the recent cases with Big Three rating agencies issuing politicized and biased assessments of the state and development prospects of Russian economy, this issue is of particular relevance,” Vadim Lukov told journalists, adding that Russia is not the first country to suffer from “rating aggression and rating dumping.”
The BRICS grouping of emerging market economies will meet for summit twice this year; on July 8-9 in Ufa, and either on November 15 or 16 on the sidelines of the G20 summit in Antalya. Some 120 events will be held in 16 cities within the program of Russia’s BRICS presidency program. Nineteen meetings will be held at the ministerial level.
Russia took over the presidency of the BRICS group from Brazil on Wednesday. President of the Russian Chamber of Commerce Sergey Katyrin became the BRICS Business Council head.
The BRICS group of prominent emerging economies was established in 2010, when South Africa joined Brazil, Russia, India and China in what was previously known as BRIC. The BRICS countries make up about 40 percent of the world's population and command a combined economy of about $16 trillion.

Another nail in the coffin of the US Dollar as world reserve currency. Still don't worry. I'm sure the United States fabled nobel prize winning community organiser president has a plan for us to 'move on' and 'change' everything to fix it.

No doubt that Obama support this effort. After all; their is nothing exceptional about America.
Addendum. My mistake. There is something exceptional. We have a lot of white people and they are all greedy capitalists and racists.

Welcome to 4 Freedoms!
(currently not admitting new members)
Page Monitor
Just fill in the box below on any 4F page to be notified when it changes.
Muslim Terrorism Count
Mission Overview
Most Western societies are based on Secular Democracy, which itself is based on the concept that the open marketplace of ideas leads to the optimum government. Whilst that model has been very successful, it has defects. The 4 Freedoms address 4 of the principal vulnerabilities, and gives corrections to them.
At the moment, one of the main actors exploiting these defects, is Islam, so this site pays particular attention to that threat.
Islam, operating at the micro and macro levels, is unstoppable by individuals, hence: "It takes a nation to protect the nation". There is not enough time to fight all its attacks, nor to read them nor even to record them. So the members of 4F try to curate a representative subset of these events.
We need to capture this information before it is removed. The site already contains sufficient information to cover most issues, but our members add further updates when possible.
We hope that free nations will wake up to stop the threat, and force the separation of (Islamic) Church and State. This will also allow moderate Muslims to escape from their totalitarian political system.
The 4 Freedoms
These 4 freedoms are designed to close 4 vulnerabilities in Secular Democracy, by making them SP or Self-Protecting (see Hobbes's first law of nature). But Democracy also requires - in addition to the standard divisions of Executive, Legislature & Judiciary - a fourth body, Protector of the Open Society (POS), to monitor all its vulnerabilities (see also Popper).
1. SP Freedom of Speech
Any speech is allowed - except that advocating the end of these freedoms
2. SP Freedom of Election
Any party is allowed - except one advocating the end of these freedoms
3. SP Freedom from Voter Importation
Immigration is allowed - except where that changes the political demography (this is electoral fraud)
4. SP Freedom from Debt
The Central Bank is allowed to create debt - except where that debt burden can pass across a generation (25 years).
An additional Freedom from Religion is deducible if the law is applied equally to everyone:
- Religious and cultural activities are exempt from legal oversight except where they intrude into the public sphere (Res Publica)"
