Tsuruga reactor may be sitting above active fault
A nuclear power plant in Japan will undergo fresh inspections after experts warned that active faults may exist below the plant.The Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency issued the inspection order on Tuesday to the Japan Atomic Power Company, the operator of the Tsuruga nuclear plant on the Sea of Japan coast in Fukui Prefecture.
Earlier in the day, a team of experts surveyed 3 faults in the compound and found that one of them located 150 meters west of the No.2 reactor may be active.The team said the fault could shift simultaneously with a known active fault nearby.
If that happens, they could trigger an earthquake more powerful than the plant is supposed to withstand.The agency also told the plant operator to check if the third fault that runs directly below the reactor is active.
The government's quake-resistance guidelines for nuclear plants do not assume that key facilities are built directly above active faults.
The Tsuruga plant is now offline for regular safety checks.The agency has been examining seismic faults near nuclear plants across Japan following the nuclear accident in Fukushima.

Steve Keen On Europe's Delusion And Why The Entire World Is Turning Japanese
Fail Japan Mars Monetary Policy
Economic Debunker Steve Keen is interviewed by outspoken Irish journalist Vincent Browne and no holds are barred as he describes the Maastricht Treaty as a suicide pact of critically poor central-planning design of a supposed market-economy, based on financial crises never occurring, locking European governments into an austere path when stimulus is required.
"Ultimately the Euro has to fail and the longer we continue the farce of believing we can make it function the larger the ultimate crash will be" is how Keen portrays the situation and describes the foreign-exchange, fiscal policy, and monetary policy shackles that have created and exaggerated the situation.
This leads into a longer discussion of the state of the World and its inability to 'export into the ponzi' like Japan could from 1990 to 2010 since the entire developed world is trying to do the same thing and "there is no ponzi scheme on Mars that we can export to" leaving the globe without Japan's initial way out.
The must-watch 10 minute interview goes on to discuss the endgame (a break in the political compact based on austerity pressures and military or political coups) as Keen sums up "it's amazing to see us repeating the same mistakes that were made during the 1930s but we are doing just that." ending with some potential solutions noting that there is no easy way out of this.

The programme for this business forum – taking place at London’s The Brewery on 25 April 2012 – will explore implications for the UK’s financial services industry of the profound changes that are re-shaping global markets today.
The euro crisis, following hard on the heels of the global financial crisis, has intensified the threats and challenges that are becoming familiar in our market: squeezed margins, more pressure to control risk, more regulation… Yet in this extraordinary environment there are also opportunities for firms to successfully differentiate: opportunities to be sharper, leaner, more innovative and more competitive. In difficult times a flight to quality will separate the winners and losers.

Euro Crisis Strategy in Danger
The collapse of the Dutch government, the prospect of Socialist François Hollande as next French president and the surging popularity of far-right parties shows that budget discipline is out of fashion in Europe.
Chancellor Angela Merkel is looking increasingly lonely in her fight to save the euro through painful austerity measures, write German commentators.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel is running out of allies in her drive to solve the euro debt crisis through strict austerity programs.
French Socialist François Hollande looks on course to oust President Nicolas Sarkozy, who has been Merkel's most important partner in the fight to overcome the debt crisis, in a run-off vote on May 6 after beating him into second place in the first round on Sunday.

Iraq ~ Parliament Rejects Oil Law ...
April 24, 2012Iraq ~ Parliament Rejects Oil Law ...
The Iraqi Parliament's oil and energy committee is resuming its efforts to push forward long-delayed oil legislation – and as a first step, it has voted to set aside a draft favored by Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.
On April 18 the committee voted on whether to move ahead with a draft oil law proposed by the Cabinet last summer, according to multiple committee members. By a vote of seven to six, with three abstentions, the committee decided to set that version aside.
"Most of the committee MPs think that the Cabinet draft law will not go forward," said Fatima al-Zurgani, of the Fadhila party.
Politicians have been trying since 2007 to pass legislation that would give badly needed legal certainty to Iraq's oil sector. The country's economy depends on oil so much that the issue has become entangled in larger power struggles, and leaders on all sides say that comprehensive legislation cannot pass without high-level political negotiations.

Detection of the Iraqi Central Bank Governor Sinan Al-Shabibi, Dr. in dialogue with «downloads» that the restructuring of the national currency, starting with the deletion of zeroes, dinar, a crucial step for their direct link to inflation and purchasing power. Shabibi said that an independent Central Bank, and is directly responsible for monetary policy and exchange rates, foreign reserve management and regulation of the banking sector. These details dialog:
• Cabinet of Ministers decision of Iraq to the Iraqi Central Bank adopted monetary policy referred to the Cabinet for endorsement and approval, raising fears the banking sector of potential government intervention in its affairs. What's your comment on thisstrong
-There is no doubt that monetary policy is linked to the Central Bank, which is held by the Chamber of Deputies, and the independence of the Central Bank does not mean that his Government position and unbearable terms of negative interpretation of abuse with many important issues, and I think that this independence is in favour of the Iraqi Central Government because it gives a great opportunity to adopt policies that address inflation, if hindered such policies will therefore negative impact on State projects. I also believe that the principle underlying the Central independence is that the printing of money is supposed to be independent of others which is spending on State enterprises, by which I mean the Executive authority, otherwise it will be able to last and whenever needed money, resorting to the central course, which leads to increased inflation or the printed quantity. So I see the need for the independence of the ECB, this independence confers stability policies Central possibility, but this certainly requires coordination with the Government.

Conspiracy Theory (1997) Prophetic Message..4/23/12..
The movie Conspiracy Theory (1997) has a most suspicious scene, in which a number is given in the form of a date. As we know, 9/11 symbolism is so pervasive within movies of such relative comparisons, but they were exposed after the fact. This movie, which was not a very popular movie, could have given us the opportunity to expose the Illuminati symbols that they permeate their Hollywod movies with, because they acknowledge us as players of their grand game of chess...whether we all...know we are players, or not...

Shift on Executive Power Lets Obama Bypass Rivals
Washington, One Saturday last fall, President Obama interrupted a White House strategy meeting to raise an issue not on the agenda. He declared, aides recalled, that the administration needed to more aggressively use executive power to govern in the face of Congressional obstructionism.
“We had been attempting to highlight the inability of Congress to do anything,” recalled William M. Daley, who was the White House chief of staff at the time. “The president expressed frustration, saying we have got to scour everything and push the envelope in finding things we can do on our own.”
For Mr. Obama, that meeting was a turning point. As a senator and presidential candidate, he had criticized George W. Bush for flouting the role of Congress. And during his first two years in the White House, when Democrats controlled Congress, Mr. Obama largely worked through the legislative process to achieve his domestic policy goals.
But increasingly in recent months, the administration has been seeking ways to act without Congress. Branding its unilateral efforts “We Can’t Wait,” a slogan that aides said Mr. Obama coined at that strategy meeting, the White House has rolled out dozens of new policies — on creating jobs for veterans, preventing drug shortages, raising fuel economy standards, curbing domestic violence and more.

The House will vote on a slew of cybersecurity bills this week (CISPA)
April 23, 2012The House will vote on a slew of cybersecurity bills this week
"The House is set to vote on a host of cybersecurity bills next week, but the fate of the legislation rests in the Senate. The House is expected to approve the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA), which would tear down legal barriers that discourage companies from sharing data about cyber attacks.
But the White House and Senate Democrats argue CISPA is inadequate.
They say any cybersecurity legislation should include tougher privacy protections and should require critical infrastructure systems to meet minimum security standards.
The White House has endorsed cybersecurity bill from Sens. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) and Susan Collins (R-Maine) that would empower the Homeland Security Department to set mandatory security standards for critical systems, such as electrical grids or chemical plants."

Israel's Key Energy Provider, Egypt, Cuts Off All Natural Gas Supplies
Two months ago, we warned that while the world had decided to blissfully move on from last year's topic #1, the MENA revolutions, and specifically the massive power vacuum left in their wake, things in the region were far from fixed. Quite the contrary, and as we added back then "it is very likely that the Mediterranean region, flanked on one side by the broke European countries of Greece, Italy, Spain (and implicitly Portugal), and on the other by the unstable powder keg of post-revolutionary Libya and Egypt, will likely become quite active yet again. Only this time, in addition to social and economic upheavals, a religious flavor may also be added to the mix".

Statement by Secretary Tim Geithner at the International Monetary and Financial Committee (IMFC) Meeting
After a renewed period of stress in the global economy, the outlook has improved and some progress is being made to reduce global imbalances. But the recovery remains fragile, with continued risks from the euro area and higher oil prices. The United States economy continues to gather strength despite adverse shocks from the crisis in Europe, last year’s supply chain disruptions, increases in oil and gasoline prices, and slower growth in some emerging markets.
U.S. growth has averaged about 2 1/2 percent since the recovery began, and the economy has added private sector jobs for 25 straight months, totaling 4.1 million jobs over the period. The balance sheet of the business sector is stronger, and the economy as a whole is more productive than before the crisis. We have made significant progress in reducing the excesses and imbalances that helped cause the crisis. Household debt to income has come down significantly from pre-crisis levels, and U.S. financial sector debt has dropped by more than $3 trillion since the crisis began. Reflecting early action on repair and reform, U.S. banks are strongly capitalized relative to their peers, improving confidence in our financial sector and allowing for an expansion in credit to the private sector ...

The answer to the European debt situation? New SDR Basket? (Note: exchange rates quoted at noon each day in the London market and posted on IMF Site)
Snip "In October 2011, the IMF Executive Board discussed clarifications and possible reform options of the existing criteria for broadening the SDR currency basket. Most directors held the view that the current criteria for SDR basket selection remained appropriate" (check additional articles at end of post)
April 22, 2012
The answer to the European debt situation probably lies an expansion of this into a currency
Spread the risk. This was sort of it's original intent and now would be a good time to move forward with it. Probably a joint venture of the IMF and UN. The IMF and UN could use the reallocation of the basket to curb dangerous debt at the state level.
Basket of currencies determines the value of the SDR
The value of the SDR was initially defined as equivalent to 0.888671 grams of fine gold—which, at the time, was also equivalent to one U.S. dollar. After the collapse of the Bretton Woods system in 1973, however, the SDR was redefined as a basket of currencies,today consisting of the euro, Japanese yen, pound sterling, and U.S. dollar.
The U.S. dollar-equivalent of the SDR is posted daily on the IMF’s website. It is calculated as the sum of specific amounts of the four basket currencies valued in U.S. dollars, on the basis of exchange rates quoted at noon each day in the London market.

Awash in money and piles of debt
The amount of money thrown at rescuing the world economy since the Great Recession began is truly staggering, probably more than $14 trillion, and the financial spigots are still open.
Industrialized and emerging nations pledged another $430 billion to boost the International Monetary Fund's lending power this weekend, doubling the size of its crisis-fighting war chest in case Europe's problems worsen and engulf more countries.
Three weeks earlier, European Union leaders set aside $1 trillion for Europe's bailout fund creating a firewall to prevent the euro zone's sovereign debt woes from spreading.
Major central banks haven't finished pumping money into the global economy either.
The Federal Reserve meets on Tuesday and Wednesday and the Bank of Japan meets on Friday, and their bias toward monetary easing through bond purchases is likely to remain firmly in place. Japan may even ease again to counter deflationary pressures.
The IMF has recommended more action from the European Central Bank, and the People's Bank of China is seen cutting its bank reserve requirements this year to underpin growth.
But can all this money restore growth to robust levels anytime soon?
Government officials and economists point to the same problem: too much debt. Rescue funds and central bank stimulus measures are just keeping the world economy afloat until the hard and painful work of repairing balance sheets gets done.
"The real solution has to do with the fiscal and structural reforms that address the real causes of this crisis, particularly in Europe, but also elsewhere," said Tharman Shanmugaratnam, Singapore's finance minister and head of the IMF's steering committee.
