“This is the end of capitalism. Welcome to chaos.”

Here, if your investment broker is arrested, the money is gone.

The companies’ owners will be tried before a special court for security offenses, as their actions are considered harmful to the national economy.

Gulf states, which raked in a fortune from the rise in oil prices and created vast monetary reserves that allowed their governments to inject funds into their financial markets to stabilize them.

Now somewhere in the back of my mind rolls around those $4.15 a gallon fillups, add onto that Pelosi & the Democrat Oil Embargo. We were being gouged by the billions for imported oil. All the time we were told it was a market function...and we believed it.

A very strange picture in my mind is developing. Perhaps wiser Freepers will read this article and fill in some pieces. Bush over there begging for oil and oil pricing to be constrained. Dems. refusing to allow drilling, oil driven inflation, and now stabilizing the markets with taxpayer money. We keep wondering why Bush is all to willing to sign off on $700 billion?

I know this is from an odd site, but that is why I posted in general/chat. I still found the information an interesting compilation of observations.

Not only an "odd site" but this tract is filled with errors. Whomever wrote this thing doesn't seem to have spent much time in the region. Egypt has never had a good economy because of its huge population centered in Cairo with a large portion of extremely poor people - many of whom live in the city dump and the main graveyard. Egypt also has very little oil and a large, military-centered government.

The author is some sort of newby on the scene that is probably the only person that has ever misspelled the name of the Khan el Khalili market in downtown Cairo - every tourist fresh off the bus knows that one!
