FIVE EXPERT PREDICTIONS FOR GLOBAL ECONOMY

Posted By: C. Harrison

Global growth and acceleration to 3.5 percent in 2014 up from 2.9 percent posted in 2013, five experts from the International Monetary Fund asserted.

According to experts on the Council on Foreign Relations, developing economics will likely enjoy relatively high growth in 2014, while the United States will continue with real growth and Europe’s economy will expand very slowly. A. Michael Spence and Moody’s chief economist Mark Zandi expects the United States to experience its fastest growth in a decade, driven by a reduction in fiscal austerity, a resurgent housing market and the “Superb condition of American corporate, bank and household balance sheets,”

Europe is growing  and capital is beginning to return but officials face the challenge of bolstering the growth rate before markets again lose confidence in the reform process, which has been making policy makers stay afloat.

Ernesto Talvi of Brookings says, well managed Latin Americans countries that depended on abundant inflow of foreign capital will have to adjust their growth rates of consumption, investments and public spending. While Carnegie’s Yukon Huang stated that China can reach a more sustainable growth path if it deals with its debt problem and boosts productivity.

The U.S. economy is growing at 1.5 to 2 percent in real terms, the pattern of public-sector underinvestment will remain.

incidentally, Asian business leaders sees Feds tapestry as the largest threat to world growth.

Wear a hat, hood or scarf, most heat is lost through the head.

Wear layers, they provide better insulation and warmth,

Keep fingertips, earlobes and noses covered if you go outside

Keep clothing dry.  If a layer becomes wet, remove it..

Alcohol makes you think you feel warmer, but it actually increases your chances of hypothermia and frostbite.

Shivering is nature’s way of telling you your body is loosing heat. If you can, go back inside.

Cold weather puts an extra strain on the heart, so don’t overdo the shoveling or any other outdoor activity.

Wear sturdy boots that provide both warmth and traction. You’ll need both.

THE BIBLE

A BLUE PRINT FOR THE MILITARY?

By: C. Harrison/Jan 1, 2014

After watching a series of bible stories on the military channel, I came to the conclusion that it is fitting. The bible is written in a system of historical defect. It is written in a set of rules and historical contents and we, some of us, use it as a guide; but, could it have been actually written exclusively for military purposes, thus a blue print for how some off-springs can use it to run not only countries but to control the worlds financial sectors-perpetrating slavery at a minimum in times of modifications. keeping the privilege elites always living  at or out of the reach of governments.

Could early man have for-seen that there was never going to be enough raw materials and products to trade in the impending modern world, so they constructed a system where only a few would have the most and the mass with nothing, as well as who gets to run the world. When those family began to die out it was decided that corporations using old and new monies should converge to do the deed.

The bible is to me a tool for military personals and for political forces to use to control us, thus the reason for Jesus’s intervention. No one was more politically correct then Jesus but he use it in a becoming fashion and mostly to help the poor, kind of what like some leaders are doing today. If some of what’s in the bible are not as we previously thought and most events were really of military base and done in military styles to defeat, get rid of and conquer, take what is not yours, then we can say it is still going on today which is why they said not to take anything away from it or add anything to it. Did they hide something in it.  What exactly are we not being told.

My working theory is that the world was and is ominous and Jesus then and now resembles hope, our hope, our avatar. The bible is a powerful tool, the stories true are not are just that. The military should craft their own paths, at the same time beholding to Jesus’s teachings, especially his riddles. We need to mind our mine for the jewel of our soul. None of us want to go down the path of destruction.

WERE WE DEALT DEVINE HANDS!

Princes Sent To Earth To Save Us From The Brink

Of Disasters In The 20th Century

By: C. Harrison/Dec 31,2013

I promised you innovation on this blog and inverse theories, to implode the mind freeing senses leading to objectives so here goes.

My hypothesis is that we were in fact dealt Devine hands in the 20th century; you see, man kind forced impending calamities on world entities and because of those despicable acts we (the world) almost had  melt downs of sort – in the 50s and 60s it was slavery–70s it was famine and kidnappings–in the 80s it was continuous wars and apartheid, 90s it was wars against nations and the 20th century of course our financial institutions went into a free-fall, economic slavery and yes it was all mans doing.

Really, if we should stop and think, Devine hands did give us a break.  Again,  in the 50 & 60 era there were plenty of help, intervention in way of great men: Martin Luther King Jr. DeBois, Adam Claton Powell, Malcom X, Marcus Garvey, John F. Kennedy, Rosa Parks, Bill Clinton and so many other who contributed to the cause—that we dear not forget. Down through the pipe line we had many people who gave up sleep, people of all races worked tirelessly so that we could endure. Selflessly they gave of themselves for the greater cause some, die trying and yes we should give thanks. The struggle took many persons to conjure for its passage to freedom.

At the beginning of this article in its title I spoke of Princes, two in particular stand out to me: they are the late President Nelson Madiba Mandela of South Africa and President Barack Obama of the United States, both I believe was sent here to resurrect restore and fulfill the decree —that’s those of us who  didn’t believe that yes, we were once great because in our life time we had never seen the endurance of one.

These two men are avatars, (great ones), who only come to earth once every few centuries to shake-up our world and when they leave, they usually leave us with hope, confidence and a sense of what we have to do (purpose). President Obama, have already done unmovable  and unspeakable things—things that were thought of has hands off, no-can-do. We have seen his power and his quiet might. We know that their  is stern stamina larking behind his unshakable façade; his two more years, in office will lend to his unmistakable abilities and yes, like Mandela, there are those who will throw everything at him but will fail because he is here for a reason and we have already seen some of those fruits. Yes, in all of his glory he is still human and will be up-braid from time to time but in the end it will put our nation a ease and set down in record for the greater good.

The coming years 2016 and beyond we should all be more humble, stick to our beliefs while at the same time be conspicuous, use more wisdom. Never give up the good fight or cause, especially if its for the greater good. We don’t know when God, will bestow us another avatar, so we the 99% have to stay vigilant at all times.

The Don Dada Well Received

Supercat On Stage

Supercat and Journalist C. Harrison

Twelve midnight and some of us was just strolling inside of Amazura, once inside the venue was packed. Anticipation billed, no one had seen Supercat, aka the Wild Apache, since he last took to this stage in 2005; so, we knew that the night was not only going to be historical but that the crowd would become much more intents. By two o’clock that is am, the place was jam-pack; which was expected. DJ Norie feeling the crowd tried his best to pace but even he didn’t know what type of crowd he was dealing with. Needless to say, he aim to inspire.

Accordingly, fan kept to the beat and vibe with each other, dancing to a string of dancehall favorites until 3:45 rolled around and by now the place was jumping. While a few complaint bitterly, even they didn’t make a move. Cat fans stood and wait anxiously no one dear move–some afraid to leave their spot fearing they might not get it back and the momentum billed, finally we heard his voice and it was all over. People went into a frenzy screaming and shouting “We love you,” for the next hour he dazzled us with a catalog of monster hits like: “Don DaDa” “Come Dung Mek Mi Come Dung” among so many others– too much to name here.  He gave us what we came to see and hear even mix it up with a young band, who he gave a chance at stardom. Joining him on stage was reggae singers  Junior Demus, and Mikey Jerriot among others. When he left the stage fans were reeling for more even though it was Pass 5AM, no one cared about time, they chanted for more.  The show was a complete success;

Only Super Cat could have people stand their ground after 3:00 AM, in the morning without moving a muscle before he comes to the microphone. Yes, he is all that.  Even though he had been hiatus from the dancehall scene but, never too far from the music industry he have not lost a thing, he was still spiting fire, teaching & preaching as he go along–always, to the youths of tomorrow; for this I love him more.

Supercat, is revered to by his fans and those who know him well. He and very few others, are the foundation of what dancehall have become today. He is possibly the most compelling dancehall artist of our times, he is a beacon; a stalwart blazing fire in his path to steer pellucid, Reggae Dancehall Music to where it need to be. Mesmerizing at times, he is excellence at what he knows how to do best. which is spit lyrics—his music is second to none and is flawless. He is loved so much that people will go to bat for him. He quite frankly, is one  of the most influential and ingenuous person we have encountered inside reggae dancehall today. He created and literally help  to shape what we now know  as Dancehall Reggae–this make him legendary, and iconic-cream of the crop, never to be taken lightly and always someone to be reckoned with. He is the best of the best.  Irie Jam Radio DJ Roy welcomed Supercat, to the stage.

 I am truly sorry for the very poor photo shot of Cat on stage.

THE LINE IS DRAWN AT MIDNIGHT

LAST CHANCE BEFORE JANUARY 1, 2014

By: C. Harrison/DEC 24, 2013

The President’s High Quality Affordable Health Care Mandate draws the line at midnight, yes, your deadline for signing up ends at 12Pm tonight 12/12/2013. Most people abide by the last call and signed up yesterday, but has of last night when the President signed up himself for the Bronze health package; he extended it to midnight today.

Many had questioned if the President was being truthful about what he says about the new Health Care Law Mandate. In order words, some would make it out to look like the President was telling the American people a lie.  But, not so fast–while the online site couldn’t handle the amount of people who signed on the first day; the problem have since been fix. And we all know it was a working progress.

This deadline doesn’t mean you can’t ever sign up later, it just mean that if you want to start getting coverage begining January 1, 2014, then signing up now will guarantee you that privilege. They know that many procrastinators will wait until the very last minute.  The date for late bloomers are March, 2014. Do not miss that deadline.  

AS FOR THE NSA

We all know the truth, that every intelligent agency on earth has been keeping data on its governance, centered on each particular country. People, this have been going on for over 50 odd year. Mark you, the NSA  is just taking a foot hole and is basically (one might can say just created) but this, is nothing knew—and it did not start with President Obama—many Presidents before him knew.  This is all common knowledge. Let just say all things with the NSA, will play out and take care of its self. The NSA, is not going away.  The NSA just got caught that’s all.
