Summary: Japan is ramping up laws to enable it to prosecute journalists that report “too much” or things the government wants to keep secret. This includes levels of radiation at Fukushima. The U.S. has expressed approval and is itself targeting whistleblowers to keep its own hypocrisy secret. Reporters covering the Occupy protests were targeted for arrest. The EPA is closing ranks with the nuclear power industry. And the people are utterly unconcerned… Another look at Europe in full depression with 120 million people at the edge of poverty. Issuing debt does not create wealth. The resultant positive statistics are therefore meaningless. Printing money, likewise, does not create wealth. It just delays the day of reckoning. Steve Cohen is to pay a $1.8 billion for insider trading but he will not be prosecuted. Hmmm… The depression is further evidenced in a new study, the first ever to compare transportation trends for America’s largest cities. It shows fewer cars, fewer miles driven, fewer households with two cars, fewer private vehicle commutes
