DOHA, QATAR????!!!! MOVE THE SITE OF THE MEETING AWAY FROM THE BARBARIC ISLAMIC WORD!!!!
written by Augustus, November 29, 2008
it makes no sense for representatives of the financial world (most of which from civized countries of this planet) to gather in one of the many islamic capitals, where there are many weath Muslins who UNDOUBTEDLY are likely to empathize and (worse) finance Islamic Terrorist Groups - THIS VERY IMPORTANT MEETING SHOULD BE MOVED TO GENEVA!

WARNING AGAINST THE ISLAMIC THREAT
I could not sufficiently underline the extension of the horror, the anxiety and the concern which the new appalling Islamic attack (in India) which represents more one example of the danger which the Islamic World represents to the Civilized World (Europe, the Americas, Australia/NZ and Japan). Furthermore I am frustrated with the role played by the pacifist liberals who refuse to recognize the extension of cruelty the Islamic extremists are capable to cause against civilization

ALERTA ANTI-MULCUMANO
Eu não poderia enfatizar suficientemente a extensão do horror, da ansiedade e preocupação sobre este novo ataque repugnante o qual representa mais um exemplo do perigo que o Mundo Islamico proporciona ao Mundo Civilizado (Europa, Americas do Norte E Sul, Australia/NZ e Japão). Tambem estou extramente frustrado com o papel proporcionado pelos liberais pacifistas que se recusam a reconhecer a extensão do barbaridade que os extremistas Islamicos podem de cometer contra todos os povos civilizados!

AVERTISSEMENT CONTRE LE RISQUE MUSULMAN
Je ne pourrais souligner suffisamment l'extension de l'horreur, de l'anxiété et de la préoccupation sur cette nouvelle attaque islamiste dégoûtante (a l’Inde) qui représente plus un exemple du danger que le Monde Islamique fournisse au Monde Civilisé (Europe, Amériques du Nord Et du Sud, Australie/NZ et Japon). Aussi supplémentairement je suis frustré avec le rôle proportionné par les libéraux pacifistes qui refusent de reconnaître l'extension de la monstruosité que les extrémistes Islamiques peuvent commettre contre tous les peuples civilisés!

Financing for Development......somewhat LAUGHABLE !!!!!!!
written by ch.c., November 29, 2008
Why have such a high foreign currencies reserves...and then wait for FINANCING ?????

WHEN someone has it left pocket full of bank notes, why should he borrow with foreigners to finance his right pocket ?????
Something doesnt add, even more especially when the left pocket invest its surplus at a low rate and then then its right pocket borrow at a high rate....in the same currency !

Or another view from another angle, why not ask financing to countries FULL OF FOREIGN CURRENCIES RESERVES....SUCH AS OPEC, RUSSIA, SOUTH KOREA, VIETNAM OR....BRAZIL ?????????????????

Cheaters always cheat....dont dont they ?

ch-c - ISLAM IS THE ENEMY!!!!
written by Augustus, November 29, 2008
Clearly I was referring to enterire Western World, of which South America (including Brazil) - although more primitive and barbaric, is a FUNDAMENTAL PART!!!
WHEN DICUSSING THE ISLAMIC MONTRERS, THE MUSLIN INSECTS - which threaten us all, there is no time to this time of discussion
After eliminating the COMMON ENEMY of the WEST, then we can pay attention to the MUCH smaller evil characteristics, which I have always agreed afflictl the unfortunate Brazilian nation.
This is NOT the time for division CH-C - otherwise the ISLAMIC ENEMY will conquer!!!!

Augustus : BARBARIC BRAZIL WORD !!!!
written by ch.c., November 30, 2008
Short memory on the SP and Rio Chaos ???????

The Islamic enemy will conquer ?
With what ?
In my view they are oil producing addicted...in exchange for US$-Euros !
Just imagine how it could be easy to conquer Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the UAE. Smiles !
And we could seize ALL their foreign currencies.

We could have oil at US$ 15.- per barrel ! And Petrobras...BANKRUPT !

And to whom my country is going to sell their most expensive jewelries, watches and..... chocolates ?????

Just come down in Geneva during July and August, the city has the look of a Casbah ! They are everywhere...throwing their money ! Kings, princes, sheikhs are regular tourists ! They book full hotels floors, and order many limos per family !
the funny things is that the most wealthy book full hotels floors for their ministers, lieutenants, advisors while they reside in their own expensive houses !!!!!

In 2003, King Fahd, stayed here around 2 months. Only his "family" spent US$ 600 millions. Not bad.
They ordered several hundreds limos to be ready 24/7.
Not enough were available here due to bookings from others !
No problem......HE BOUGHT A FEW HUNDREDS NEW CARS...FROM MERCEDES IN GERMANY !
Also several hotels floors were booked for the suite. While He STAYED at his second palace...in Geneva.
The funny thing is that it was the first time he entered this palace...built yearsss ago !
He usually stayed to another one, closer to the hotel where he books several floors !
The first palace has a surgery room underground !

But he did not come every year. Well now he died. The new royal family comes here anyway with or without the king.
Usually when the king comes, a few others influential kings, sheikhs, princes from others countries, delay or cancel some of their own visits here...due to allegiance to the Saudi King !
Simply because we could not receive them all at the same time !

And believe it or not, a few times large stores open in the evening....just for the Saudi King and his family !
Rarely for other kings and their families !

A good question our esteemed Swiss colleague asked. Can you respond? I am glad that Ch.c is a secular Christian.

Finding financing
written by Falupa, December 01, 2008
I don't know how they will find financing in a financial crisis like this one. I'm absolutely baffled with how they plan to receive the necessary funds in order to finance a major operation such as this one. It would be nice to get some foreign investment, however I don't think that they would be up for something like this.
