Head of China's Central Bank is rumored to have defected
By TheFroginator
Mon Aug 30, 2010 10:59 PM
RUMOURS that the governor of the People's Bank of China Zhou Xiaochuan has fled the country for fear of reprisal after a $US430 billion ($481 billion) loss on US Treasury bonds spread overnight in the Chinese-language blogosphere. The rumours began after a mainland news site fabricated a report that the Chinese Government would punish individuals from the central bank on Saturday, said Hong-Kong based news agency Ming Pao.
Did he come to the US or Taiwan? Perhaps South Korea or Japan? Time will tell, as well as whatever secrets he may have.

Rebels gang-raped nearly 200 women baby boys over four days within miles of a U.N. "peacekeepers"

Rwandan and Congolese rebels gang-raped nearly 200 women and some baby boys over four days within miles of a U.N. peacekeepers' base in an eastern Congo mining district, an American aid worker and a Congolese doctor said Monday. Will F. Cragin of the International Medical Corps said aid and U.N. workers knew rebels had occupied Luvungi town and surrounding villages in eastern Congo the day after the attack began on July 30. More than three weeks later, the U.N. peacekeeping mission in Congo has issued no statement about the atrocities and said Monday it still is investigating.

Venezuela Issues $3B In Dollar Bonds; Demands $9.2B
By FrogFryer
Sun Aug 29, 2010 05:07 PM
Venezuela on Monday sold all of the $3 billion in dollar-denominated bonds that it offered to local investors last week to feed pent-up demand for U.S. currency. The bonds were priced at par, or 100% of face value, with a 12.75% coupon, and were sold in the local currency but could be re-sold abroad for dollars. Demand for the 2022 bonds, Venezuela's first sovereign debt sale in 10 months, reached a heavy $9.2 billion, or 307%, the Finance Ministry said in a statement Monday. Economists say the decision to allow locals to buy the bonds in bolivars and exchange them for greenbacks could help Venezuela's recession-wracked economy begin to get back on its feet. Critics of the government of President Hugo Chavez say the decision to provide cheap dollars to locals by way of the bond sale also is aimed at appeasing voters ahead of key congressional elections next month, in which the ruling socialist party hopes to maintain a majority in the National Assembly.

While the West has an average of 3,000 science PhDs per million of its inhabitants, the number of IDB member countries is so dismally small that not even the statistics are available….The 57 predominately Muslim countries have about 23 percent of the world’s population, but less than 1 percent of its scientists who generate less than 5 percent of its science and make barely 1 percent of the world’s original research discoveries each year.

Wall Street Journal Leader: EU proposes budget cuts for everyone else but itself
By Bombs_Away_LeMay
Fri Aug 27, 2010 07:41 AM
In June, EU Commissioner for Economic and Monetary Affairs Olli Rehn published an op-ed in these pages defending drastic spending cuts by Europe's debt-laden national governments. With the prodding of Mr. Rehn and his colleagues, countries like Britain are slashing departmental budgets by 25% and Greek, Spanish, and other public-sector workers face pay freezes and cuts. Slamming critics who claim that such "austerity" will retard economic growth, Mr. Rehn argued here that "No one can live beyond their means forever—not even governments." Well said. But what about supranational governments? The European Union's draft budget for 2011 calls for no less than a 5.8% increase from this year. At roughly €143 billion, that would account for about 1.2% of the EU's 2009 GDP. Do as I say, not do as I do...

An alleged arms dealer nicknamed "The Merchant of Death", who has been pursued by global law enforcement organisations for years, is to be extradited to the US to stand trial. The news comes amid allegations that the authorities in Thailand succumbed to persistent pressure from Washington. A court in Bangkok ruled that the Viktor Bout, a Russian who prosecutors say sold guns to dictators and militants in war zones across Africa, South America and the Middle East, should be sent to the US to face charges that he tried to sell arms to outlawed Colombian rebels.
