POPSDamnit! Why Didn't They Listen To Ron Paul!
Everywhere you look, big events are occurring in the global economy. Last week, the United Nations said that the dollar’s unique role as a global currency was at an end. Although China, Brazil, Russia and India have all called for a new economic system not based on the dollar, this is the first time that a multinational institution has suggested scrapping the greenback. Also last week, the U.S. administration was forced to ask Congress to raise the debt ceiling again—this time to over $12 trillion—a level that will be breached by October. On Friday, three more banks failed in the U.S., bringing the total to 92 this year. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. recently increased the number of problem banks on its watch list to 400—up from around 300 during the first quarter of the year. In Britain, last week, the World Economic Forum listed Britain’s economy as less stable than Peru’s. The world is awaking to the possibility that America and Britain face real collapse.

POPSParaguay hat das Ticket nach Südafrika gelöst - und wie! Der Arbeitsplatz des sich selbst überschätzenden Diego Armando Maradona ist gefährdet. Momentan steht er mit seiner desolaten Millionärstruppe gerade noch auf dem 5. Platz, der zu einem Ausscheidungsspiel berechtigt. Selbst wenn jetzt ein Heimsieg gegen Peru wieder 3 Punkte bringt, findet wahrscheinlich das Endspiel in Uruguay statt. Vereinfacht gesagt: Gewinnt Uruguay die letzten beiden Spiele, ist Argentinien draußen. Die Tabelle (2 Spieltage vor Schluss): 1. Brasil 33 2. Paraguay 30 3. Chile 27 4. Ecuador 23 5. Argentina 22 6. Uruguay 21 7. Venezuela 21 8. Colombia 20 9. Bolivia 12 10. Perú 10 Selbst Kolumbien hat noch Chancen auf den 4. Platz, der direkt nach Südafrika führt. Auf den 5. allemal, der zum Ausscheidungsspiel gegen den Sieger der Ozeaniengruppe berechtigt. Dieses hatte übrigens Uruguay gegen Australien vor der letzten WM verloren.

POPSNo oil drilling without tribes' consent', UN tells Peru "The Committee also urged Peru’s government to investigate the conflict in Bagua, northern Peru, in which more than thirty policemen and civilians died. ‘The government should urgently form an Independent Commission, including indigenous representation, to carry out a definitive, objective and impartial investigation,’ CERD’s statement said. The government’s appearance before CERD was heavily criticised by organisations in Peru. CERD had asked the government to provide information about a number of issues that it ignored, including efforts to protect the rights of uncontacted tribes and controversial comments made by Peru’s president Alan Garcia in a Peruvian newspaper. Survival director, Stephen Corry, said today, ‘We urge President Garcia to put an end, once and for all, to its policy of carving up the Amazon without the consent of the people who actually live there.’"

POPSThe Lost Cities of the Cloud People
more: Much about the Cloud People is shrouded in mystery. As recently as 2008, a lost Chachapoya city was discovered in the isolated Amazon rainforest during an archaeological expedition to Peru’s Jamalca district, about five hundred miles north-east of Lima. The fortified citadel was found to contain the walls of buildings and rock paintings, and perched on the edge of a chasm – literally carved into the Andes – it may have been used by the Cloud People to keep a lookout for enemies Little is known about the Chachapoyas as they left no written records, but it appears their culture began to prosper in the 9th century, when their towering cities were developed, possibly as defensive measures against invading Huaris. However, five hundred years on, their fortunes faltered with the spread of the Inca Empire. Despite fierce resistance, the Cloud People were conquered by the Incas, and were by turns rebelling and being suppressed when the Spanish conquistadors arrived in 1535.
