This is why China should scare the hell out of you
We now believe and can prove with our research beyond any reasonable doubt - that the Chinese Government has recently put into place a covert plan. The result of this plan is simple...
The extraction of enormous sums of money from both the United States government - and ordinary citizens like you and me. I'm sure you think this sounds impossible. But please take a look at the facts for yourself.

Microsoft Kinect is a Virtual Goldmine
By Michael A. Robinson, Defense and Technology Specialist
Not long ago, the future of Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: MSFT) was slipping through its grasp.
Then it introduced Kinect.
Today, the tech giant is using Kinect to win big on a breakthrough that will literally touch millions of lives.
It is one of the reasons why Microsoft's stock has gained more than 20% this year.
What is Kinect?
You may recognize it as the best-selling add-on to the Xbox 360 video game. But it's much more than that.
It represents a revolution in how we will communicate with our computers, our TVs, and our smartphones.
For Microsoft, Kinect is literally a game changer. They lead the world in the technology behind it and it promises to be big.
But not just for Microsoft...not by a long shot.
The Promise Behind Microsoft Kinect
The magic behind Kinect is that it responds to body gestures.
And while Kinect did debut to rave reviews, Microsoft executives really didn't understand how Kinect could change the world -- and rack up new sales.
But since its introduction in 2010, hackers have found dozens of very cool uses for Kinect-- none of which did much for Microsoft's bottom line.
This got the software giant to thinking that maybe they were sitting on a potential gold mine.
That's why Microsoft is now tapping the genius of young entrepreneurs to better monetize the technology behind Kinect.
You know, the type of guys who live and breathe cutting-edge high tech.
In fact, Microsoft recently picked 11 startups to work at its Kinect development offices in suburban Seattle. It's a savvy move.
After all, these guys get out of bed every day looking to create the Next Big Thing.
Already, the program shows great promise. Here are some of the slick high-tech ideas these young turks are already tackling:

An Oil Warning from Dr. Kent Moors
He may be the only energy consultant connected enough to know that this is coming... or perhaps the only one courageous enough to say it. Either way, Dr. Kent Moors has issued an official warning. Americans, as you'll see, are about to be blindsided by supply-driven oil shortages and skyrocketing prices. This "Oil Constriction" is imminent. And today you have a chance to know about it - and profit from it - before it becomes a household term. Full story...

France May be the Domino that Causes the Euro to Collapse
By Martin Hutchinson, Global Investing Strategist
Commentators are wringing their hands again, worried the troubles in Spain could cause the whole euro project to collapse.
As a result, all eyes are now on Spanish 10-year debt yields, which went above 6% last week as the threat of euro-chaos returned.
But it's not Spain the markets should be worried about.
The reality is that Spain is not in too bad a shape and that a rescue would be affordable for the European Central Bank even if it was needed.
The real tottering European domino to worry about is France.
After all, it would be impossible for the remaining solvent members of the EU to bail out France if it began to fall.
The larger reality is that France's fiscal position is considerably worse than Spain's.
The country's debt-to-GDP ratio was 85% at the end of 2011, while Spain's was only 66%. What's more, France's public spending is 56% of GDP, according to the Heritage Foundation, compared to Spain's 45% of GDP.
Spain's current government has also instituted a stiff austerity program, mostly comprised of cuts in public spending, which will reduce its deficit below France's by 2013.
Meanwhile, France's austerity has so far consisted almost entirely of tax increases on the rich -not actual spending cuts.

Congress Wastes Time on Buffett Rule, Keystone Pipeline to Beef Up Attack Ads
By David Zeiler, Associate Editor
They are at it again...
With a cynical eye cast toward the November election, members of Congress forced votes on the "Buffett Rule" and the Keystone pipeline knowing both would ultimately fail.
The real purpose for voting on the Buffett Rule and the Keystone pipeline was to embarrass the opposition and produce material for campaign attack ads.
These politically motivated votes are becoming increasingly common.
With no shortage of dire problems facing the nation, one would think Congress is too busy to waste more and more time on political gamesmanship.
Apparently not.
"There has become an obsession with elections," Jennifer Duffy, an editor at the nonpartisan Cook Political Report, told Bloomberg News. "That is what people think about almost more than anything else, and so instead of contemplating the political implications occasionally, they're considered first."
Both Republican and Democratic hands are dirty. A vote on the Keystone pipeline last month was a Republican affair; the Buffett Rule vote this week was engineered by Democrats.
With no chance of ever becoming law, both votes nevertheless achieved their goal.
"Even if you can't make a law, you can still make a point," John Pitney, a political scientist at California's Claremont McKenna College told Bloomberg News. "[Campaign workers] are watching these roll calls very carefully and preparing for attack ads."
Buffett Rule as Campaign Weapon
This week's vote on the Buffett Rule, forced by Senate Democrats, is typical of what's been going on.
President Barack Obama has made the Buffett Rule - a proposal to ensure that those making $1 million or more pay at least 30% in taxes - a major talking point in recent speeches.
The Democrats have brushed off criticism that revenue from the tax - about $47 billion over 10 years - will hardly dent the $3.8 trillion annual federal budget. A decade of Buffett Rule revenue would fund about 4.5 days of federal spending.
Nevertheless, several polls have shown more than 60% of Americans agree with the president on the need for the Buffett Rule. So Senate Democrats decided to force Republicans to vote on it.

This "Business" Grew 1,880% Last Year ... And This Stock Will Directly Benefit Everyone knows that cybersecurity is a "growth business." We read all the time about passwords getting swiped, Websites getting hacked, and e-mail accounts getting hijacked. But there's one specific corner of our brave new digital world that the global band of digital evildoers is literally salivating to plunder. In fact, the cyber-assault has already begun. By one account, these attempted incursions rose 1,880% from January to December of last year alone. In today's Private Briefing, Money Morning Executive Editor Bill Patalon profiles one particular company whose product is specifically designed to repel these would-be raiders. Private Briefing subscribers have already pocketed as much as 131% on this recommendation. But here's the thing: Like any nascent "growth business," this is just the start - meaning there are plenty of profits to come. In fact, as Bill reports, Wall Street is suddenly interested and analysts have posted significantly higher target prices for this company's stock. And that could draw in just the kind of liquidity needed to send the shares higher. To find out more, click here. |
