Governments will fall.

Currencies will fail.

Millions will go unemployed, cold and hungry.

And anywhere where there are lonely cranes in the sky, soaring over the carcasses of unwanted speculative mothballed condo projects, there will be riots, there will be fire, there will be unrest.

It hath been foretold.

Vegas is feeling the pain between the housing crash and lots of casino pinkslips.

There's no where to hide.

When I was three weeks ago I counted 12 cranes from the freeway. I wonder how many of them were on stalled projects?

Now the prior rescued Banks need new injections of capital . They should of just let FDIC take over all of them . The laws were in place as to how to handle the de-leveraging of
the biggest financial bubble in history ,but the crooks could not take true Justice .

The fact that BANK OF AMERICA is now screaming foul about the asset they acquired and want a new bail out ,is par for the course . F them all .

Hey Keith, isn't Marin Bubble Blog the guy who had to quit because he was having death threats from realtors and other REIC freaks?

I think we all get death threats, par for the course, especially since many of the million-plus realtwhores out there are not only dumb, they're unstable.

Then you add in the millions of screwed homedebtors and speculators, and all the unemployed bankers and assorted REIC, and that doesn't make truth-tellers very popular.

It is what it is.

Gotta run. I hear someone knocking.

Those 12 cranes were probably from that huge Cosmopolitan project between Monte Carlo and The Bellagio


I have been told they have been having huge financial troubles with that place!

Then it was bought out or taken over,

Foreign investors....Dubai I believe

Qweefie,

Not everyone turns violent when experiencing financial hardship.

Some of the countries you mention will and some wont.

Many societies actually become more charitable, closer, more family and community focused when times are tough.

Europeans are a cold rotten people they are inherently violent (perhaps the Church is to blame) there is always a reason to riot and kill.
Sometimes it’s against foreigners sometimes to spread religion and sometimes it’s because of financials.

Arabs tend to react with violence too when times are tough, but it is a more recent phenomenon related to a coocoo version of nationalistic Islamism, which is now prevalent in Persia as well.

When Europeans rush to save the planet they really intend harm to humans
When Europeans rush to help the Arab terrorists in Israel they really intent to harm the Jews.
When Europeans rush to feed the starving in Africa they really intend the assurance that Africa does not become self reliant.
When Europeans rush to aid the Iraqis they really intend to harm Americans
When Europeans rush to assure competition of industries (i.e. Microsoft) they really intend to harm US business
We can go on and on.

One cannot at the same time spend time and energy hurting others while at the same time elevating themselves.

I have been predicting the obvious = serious violence in Europe back in HP days.

Thus far, of all the countries with financial turbulence it has been the not so ‘Noble’ Eurotards that already had a real ‘bank run’ (Northern rock) real street violence etc.

These are just some of the facts, we all know many more.

Nature,
You left us all with a cliffhanger. You bashed Europe as the "Devil," but what does that say about other parts of the world? The US? Pacific Rim? Russia? Australia?
Finish the thought. Thanks.

You are correct,
However, I would like to add that violence in Arab societies have little to do with economic hardship, a study has shown that majority of homicides terrorist come from the middle to upper class.
The Violence and anger is more of a culture thing.

BTW I totally agree that Europe Fu@ked.
It seems so many of us think that things are better across the pond when in reality they are much worse

Riots in the USA? NEVER. Americans are totally gutless and lazy. They haven't the backbone. Ballless. The passive sheeple couldn't be bothered. If they had one ounce of honor or integrity, they'd shake the walls of Congress and the White House until they came tumbling down.

Right now their biggest interest is still finding out when American Idol and Dancing with the Stars is on T.V.

B of A will be going down in flames, along with Citi-Group and the rest who think they got such a "sweet deal".

B of A claims they'll be laying off people slowly over the next three years ... b*ll s*it ... they will be doing it immediately.

Once again, corporate crooks loot the coffers dry, and throw the workers out - who made them - to the wolves.

If there's one thing good about what's happening is that more and more people are waking up to the crooked behaviour so rampant within our industries - and how it's impacting their lives as well as the younger generations to come for years.

I went to Wall Mart today and bought a six pack of Bud. Wall Mart was packed with happily fed fat shoppers. Then I went to the gas station where gas was almost $2/gallon. Then onto Wendy's for lunch and the line was out the door.

What recession/depression?

The whole western financial system is rotten and full of fat parasitical maggots.

I wish the crowd could have pulled a few out and let them have it....would have been deeply satisfying.

I don't know anything about Latvia, but USA-land is becoming a very strange place. It's kind of like things don't mean anything anymore, it's all just a weird game of giving huge sums of money that has no value, like credit cards are money and not debt, like it really doesn't have to be paid-off and walking away is a responsible option.

Maybe it's the Obama hysteria, that we don't have to do anything to save ourselves anymore, like walking dead to me, no spirit of self-assured confidence or their confidence is false hope, delusion.

I honestly think some of these people would dig their own grave and jump in it, if they were told to, for Obama. I prefer the old USA, where you minded your own business and fought back if you were threatened. Where fences were a good thing between neighbors and we weren't going out our way to make complete strangers happy, we question large amounts of money being thrown away and we actually cared about the future and what kind of world we leave in the end.

Where is the fighting spirit of America? Why do we let this silly sh*t go on? Where are our real leaders, the ones who aren't complete whimps?

Las Vegas has stalled cranes on The Strip and many stalled projects in the framing stage west of The Strip, up,up, and way up. About a 20 minute drive west. Just sitting there.

The Red Rock monster-mall is stalled in the framing stage. Looks like the crews just walked away mid-framing.

That mall is supposedly owned by a company that owns all the major malls in Las Vegas - and they're all - ALLLL for sale with no takers. They've also filed for BK.

To the average Las Vegas resident, a monster-mall and some promised condo highrises just sitting in the framing stage is nothing. We are in a daze when we drive around here anyway...there's nothing to look at except block walls, pink rocks and tile roofs. We are numb. Just fondling a head of lettuce perks me up. Anything but desertscape. At least metal framework is not the usual rocks and walls.

Yep, cold because THE DAMN WINDMILLS AND SOLAR PANELS WE INVESTED IN DON'T WORK.

Sure, building them creats a job but with no MULTIPLIER EFFECT. That mean value coming from what was built. Infeasable technolgoy yeilds none. But the zombie left is obsessed with them.

Like for instance, Ted Kennedy argues not to build them on Cape Cod and Nantuckit because (get this), they'll frighten the FISH!!!

He doesn't want those scars on his landscape but isn't man enough to admit it and hides behind the soverign rights a fish. Good God man how pathetic. The left knows no limit to their hypocracy. Not to mention that the technology won't work more than marginally.

I sense another Obama back handed bitch slap coming for the lefties. Mindless freekin retards. And I'm including YOU Mammoth.

Funny thing is that the amount of TARP Citi got and needs is superior than its book value. Is cheaper for us if Bernanke buys Citi's stock out and break the company himself. Monkeys!

Nature@4:06pm, if you're implying that Islam has only in recent times become violent, you need to reread your history books. It has been violent, expansionist and intolerant throughout its existence.

Just like Christianity. Just like Hinduism.

It's all just Us v Them. Religion is just the banner. Religion is like the cap on the toothpaste that couples fight about when the fight is really about so much more.

Jan. 16 (Bloomberg) -- The Baltic countries of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia are facing unrest and street protests over government austerity measures that may make political leaders casualties of the worst economic collapse in the European Union.

Protesters hurled stones and broke windows at the Parliament building during an anti-government demonstration in the capital of Vilnius today, leading to at least 86 arrests.

Lithuanian Prime Minister Andrius Kubilius held an emergency Cabinet meeting as police pushed protesters back with rubber bullets and tear gas.

About 7,000 people took part in today’s Vilnius demonstration, which was organized by the Lithuanian Trade Union Confederation to protest government tax reforms and public wage cuts. People marched along Vilnius’s main shopping and business boulevard chanting “Shame on You” and carrying signs “Stop Impoverishment and Unemployment” to the government building
