Either they are crying wolf to get into the taxpayers' wallets (and why you would believe globalists and their agenda-pushing papers anymore is beyond me. I never do anymore, and that's why I'm quite frustrated with "newspapers" these days) or it's another batch of lies.
In each case, the MSM looks horrible -- a pattern repeated again and again in every single war-promoting, agenda-driving article they present to you.
"IMF predicts global economy will shrink 1.3%; Fund urges more stimulus projects from governments" by Jeannine Aversa, Associated Press | April 23, 2009
WASHINGTON - The global economy is expected to lurch into reverse this year for the first time since World War II, with consequences worldwide - trillions of dollars in lost business, surging unemployment, and more people thrust into poverty, hunger, and homelessness.
Sounds like a PLAN to me.
All these bright, intelligent, well-trained minds just fucked it all up, oops, huh?
Yeah, that's another lie I'm sick of, and if that's the case, why are they in charge of "fixing" it?
To cushion the blow, the International Monetary Fund called for more stimulus projects from world governments, including money for public works projects.
You know, it SOUNDS GOOD until you read the fine print and you find out it's ALL TAXPAYER LOOT HANDED OUT top FAVORED INTERESTS, etc, etc, it's gonna be looted but nothing we can do about it, blah, blah, blah -- and I'm tired of hearing it. DON'T GIVE IT TO THEM then!!!!
As for the public works, etc, WHERE the FUCK YOU BEEN?
Sorry about the language, readers, but the actions of this government and this nation's top business institutions demands it. There is your real outrage: the greatest heist in world history -- and now they are asking for more!!!!
President Obama's $787 billion stimulus includes money for fixing roads and bridges and other infrastructure projects. IMF officials said there's room for Germany and other countries to do more fiscal stimulus. The United States has prodded the Europeans to ramp up such efforts.
The global economy will shrink 1.3 percent this year, the IMF predicted in a dour forecast issued yesterday. Without the help of countries' stimulative fiscal policies - such as tax reductions or increased government spending - the hit to the global economy would be even worse than what the IMF is predicting.
First of all, WHY SHOULD WE BELIEVE THEM when they are consistently WRONG?!!!!
This smells so much like the climate created last year over the bank bailout!!! IMF saying it will be much worse, blah, blah, blah -- then you find out these fucks have lied forever on this crap (including FDR "saving us" from the depression when he actually strung it out and made it worse, another state school lie I was taught).
Notice how the TAX REDUCTIONS NEVER GET VERY FAR in the SHIT MSM PRESS?
"We would be in the middle of something very close to a depression," Olivier Blanchard, IMF chief economist, said.
Of course, WE ARE IN ONE NOW, the MSM is simply HIDING THAT FACT like they HID the RECESSION for 10 MONTHS!!!!
"the recession, which began in December 2007"
Interesting. Recession BEGAN in DECEMBER 2007, huh?
"Funny how nobody thought to tell the American people we were in a recession until October of last year!" -- Wake the Flock Up
And NOW the AmeriKan MSM is saying we are COMING OUT OF IT while the IMF is CRYING FIRE, FIRE, FIRE!!!
So WHOSE LYING, America? (Hint: Both)
Yeah, but my mouth is an outrage!
Allen Sinai, chief global economist at Decision Economics in Boston, thinks the global decline will be worse.... Some economists said perhaps millions more could be forced into poverty and out of their homes. Sinai and others warned of rising crime.
In addition to the state war-looting and bank robberies of taxpayer funds?
All told, lost output worldwide could reach $4 trillion this year alone, US Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner estimated in a speech yesterday. The IMF's outlook for the United States is bleaker than for the world as a whole: It predicts the US economy will shrink 2.8 percent this year, making it the biggest such decline since 1946.
Japan is expected to suffer the sharpest contraction this year: 6.2 percent. Russia's economy would shrink 6 percent, Germany's 5.6 percent, and Britain's 4.1 percent. Mexico's economic activity would contract 3.7 percent and Canada's 2.5 percent. China is expected to see its growth slow to 6.5 percent this year.--more--"
I see Israel isn't expected to take a hit. Just a coincidence, I'm sure.
Update:
Globalists at work (briefly, of course):
"Geithner says nations must pitch in" by Reuters | April 24, 2009
WASHINGTON - US Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner will tell fellow finance chiefs from rich countries today that they can no longer rely on a free-spending US consumer to fuel global expansion. Geithner will outline bold efforts to stabilize the US financial system, a senior Treasury Department official said yesterday, warning that the global economy is in a severe recession, and that a concerted effort is needed to promote a recovery.
Personally, I AM SICK of the AGENDA-DRIVING FEAR about, well, ANY ISSUE you find in front of you these days! I have SIMPLY HAD IT with CRAP being HAMMERED DOWN OUR THROATS -- or else it will be worse!!
Fuck you god-damn looting liars!!!!!!!!!!!! You are lucky I don't post the guillotine again!!!!!!!!!!!!
"He will also speak about the need for a more balanced recovery and expansion, where each nation is more focused on growth that is sustainable and not dependent on the US consumer," the official said of Geithner. Finance ministers and central bankers from the G7 - which groups the United States, Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, and Japan - meet this afternoon before an evening gathering of the larger Group of 20, which includes key emerging market countries like China, India, Brazil, and South Korea.
Oh, a FOLLOW-UP MEETING the GLOBALISTS and their PRESS HANDMAIDENS are keeping relatively quiet. How special!
The US official said the sessions today, which take place ahead of semiannual meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank, follow up on commitments made at an April 2 meeting of G20 leaders in London. Participants there agreed to add to resources for the IMF and for promoting global trade.
It's the SAME OLD, SAME OLD, folks!!! Yeah, they did this all for you!!!!!
"This is a meeting basically to follow up and to have good discussions about the global economy and financial conditions," the US official said. Despite some signs that the global economic crisis might be slowing, there is still plenty for the finance chiefs to worry about, including how to get toxic assets off banks' balance sheets. Geithner will brief the G7 on stress-testing of US banks to assess their ability to operate if the economy worsens.
There they go again!!!!

What pisses a person off is right next door to that brief is this one:
"Jobs, housing data hamper recovery" by Associated Press | April 24, 2009
WASHINGTON - Worse-than-expected news on unemployment and home sales yesterday dampened optimism that a broad economic recovery might be near ."
You know I am sick of the damn lies, right?
