After the reading the article on, http://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/business/Pictet_joins_list_of_banks_investigated_by_US.html?cid=34043140&rss=true, the story didn't pass from the forefront of my mind.
Perched in my thoughts was an undercurrent "how dare you" regarding America and their arms length power over the banks of the world. I wrote about FATCA before, yet still after countless attempts by rebels alike, nothing has been able to quell the truth. International banks have bowed down to the U.S. who have no rights to intrude into their business because of capitalism.
That's right. Capitalism. America is supposed to be the forerunner of the best example of capitalism. However, the mere fact banks in Germany, Switzerland, and elsewhere allowed the U.S. to send probing teams into their banks was down to their greed. Those banks wanted to keep the benefits of being tied to America, or bottom line, money in their pockets. The risk of having an investigation paled in comparison to the thought of losing future capital from the good old U.S. of A.

Sugar is Worse than Fat! Its Killing us All!
http://todayhealth.today.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/04/02/10983751-sweet-and-toxic-is-sugar-really-poison?lite
They report that sugar "is a key contributor to many of our diet-related diseases and conditions, including obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure and cancer, according to Dr. Robert Lustig, professor of clinical pediatrics at the University of California, San Francisco."
Sugar has been said to be linked with increased risk of cancer, eczema, and decreased immune system!
Has anyone thought that diabetes was not such an ubiquitous disease back in the old days? This is a new phenomena. Brought about through fizzy drinks, processed desserts and our insatiable appetite for all things delicious.
When are we going to wake up and realise that SUGAR is worse than the environmental effects of CO2!
Truth Why Skinner Girls Stay Thin
....and it is not what you think!
Fact is that they EAT less!. Yes, some may be quite active but the bottom line is they take in less calories!!!!!
Bigger women want to find the secret but like a friend told me (she got this from a French woman) that you must allow yourself to be hungry!
Its true. No, not that you should be hungry all the time, but yes you can't supply yourself with all the things you would like to eat.
No pain NO GAIN.
Simple.
Various websites can help.

"Blood Diamond" gives up Bonus at Barclays
....in a world where a cheat can get away with high way robbery i.e. Diamond, ex CEO at Barclays Bank, how does one expect to teach the future generation anything about morals and values!
Not only is Diamond being slapped on the wrist, his actions and actions of others in the banking/finance industry are not being held to account!
The days of Robin Hood should be threatening a serious return!

Lawsuits against banks loom in LIBOR scandal - Jul. 6, 2012
This is bigger than Enron, Madoff and Lehman Brothers put together!
Nothing will be done. Unless the world recognises this as a serious criminal act punishable by prison, no one will heed this warning.

We all need to make a class action suit against ALL banks! Not only allowing the big companies to profit from this.

Bank Scandal! LIBOR and Barclay NOT Just a UK Issue
I am fuming! Being on furlough from blogging for what seems like the whole period through the financial crises, my senses have climaxed with the news of Barclays and the LIBOR rate rigging!
I am incensed!
Having not only the normal credit cards and bank accounts which all tie into the UK banking system, I have a mortgage. Knowing that my rates have been systematically manipulated for the greedy booty of the financial industry makes me want to go out in Robin Hood style!
Where is the justice?
There are claims of a huge fine being paid out by Barclays, but WHO is getting this money that they are paying out. What restitution will the normal member of the public receive?
This video contains most of my own sentiments as moderated by Eliot Spitzer (though he is a dubious character in and of himself).
PLEASE WATCH
I want to organise a boycott of paying all bank fees or any outstanding bank charges and interest at all! Let BANKS hang themselves!

A Long Time
Wow. I am a mother of neglect. I can not remember WHEN I attempted to start this blog. Gosh.
Well....Dolly is still alive and kicking.
I am hating on men these days....especially when it comes to fashion.
When did high water pants come back into fashion? Were they ever in is the question.
If your pants dont cover your ankles then you deserve to be penalized by the Fasion Police. And I do not mean the George Michael kind.
Forget the saying about pulling your pants...DOWN is the new UP!!!!!
