The major countries of the world are negotiating with Iran over its nuclear program. Iran wants the harsh sanctions lifted, and the West wants the nuclear plan curtailed. This headline says there’s a deal taking shape. Meanwhile, other headlines are saying Iran is demanding the right to increase the programs it has in place. The Middle East still has the potential to be the most explosive and complicated problem on earth. Keep an eye on the negotiations; everyone in the past few years has failed to produce anything meaningful.
In economic news, a university professor from the University of Missouri, Kansas City, says the real size of the Fed exposure for rescuing the global economy from the 2008 meltdown is not nearly $4 trillion but a whopping $29 trillion!! Professor L. Randall Wray contends the Fed has dramatically underestimated the amount of cash the Fed has pumped into the global financial system.
If the Fed has pumped that much money into the system, it should be talking off like a rocket. Instead, we keep getting headlines like this one, “Financial Firms Slashing Jobs.” 49,000 jobs have been cut, and if the economy was expanding, shouldn’t jobs be financing new projects and homes be expanding? Wait until Obama Care fully kicks in.
Finally, did you hear about the Texas size debris field floating in the Pacific Ocean that is headed for the West coast of the U.S. according to NOAA?

This debris is not reported to be radioactive, but there are plenty of other stories that show the West Coast of the U.S. is being hit with radiation from Fukushima. This story is being ignored by the mainstream media. Things are not getting better with Fukushima fallout, they are getting worse.
