Maybe Paulson jumped at assistance so quickly to fend off the embarrassment OF Abu Dhabi stepping in to just buy it.

Hey. Saudi Arabia seriously wants to become the next World Trade Center.

And Abu Dhabi the next Banking center, uh oh, I got those two mixed up.

It’s the reverse.

Still – 1/2 of all the world’s cranes are in Dubai.

There is SERIOUS acquisition and development funds available – and for Freddie to be on the market ?

yikes.

I bet with 1 trillion you could just buy all the media – obfuscate the ownerships – by creating some dummy prop networks too – but still – I bet you don’t have to even go to war with someone, you can just buy the infrastructure to which the culture derives daily intake from.

I suppose there is the reality people know, LIKELY some localization going on there with great success, e.g. neighborhoods etc, and then there is what marketing can come up with – and just maybe profess through newspaper, radio or TV.

Then there is the local reality of people reacting TO that presented ‘could be you’ culture as witnessed even on Fox Business from Midnight to 5 am – Paid TV Advertisements.

I can’t even tell things apart anymore when it comes to Paid TV Advertisements.

if FBN is showing mid to 5 am, 5 hrs of Paid TV Ads, how do I not know the other 19 aren’t Paid TV Ads too. It is not just FBN on THAT issue though, MANY networks would fall into that.

I do recall some, 9 ? 10 ? years ago thinking, ‘Hey wait a second, TV is just a one way web browser ! stuck on the same page(s).

At that point, I guess it’s dead.

Feb, 2009 though will bring everyone to Digital, I guess FBN employees can get a few extra breaths from Feb. 2009 onward, as they won’t have to say ‘The only digital…’ UNLESS, one is saying the filming TO the broadcasting is all digital..

Diversify seems to be a rather powerful concept though.

So rewarding.

Investments ? win
Culture ? so long as you’re not the French, win.
I say that because the language French is painstakingly preserved to some degree from any outside ‘influences’ when possible. So, I don’t see the French diversifying linguistically at least in any global means.

Perhaps though, loss diversified is what we have now…

obfuscated as to origin blobs of debt products with integrity lacking.

I bet Abu Dhabi is holding off for Fannie and Freddie.

Watch, it will be ‘Open an account with Bank of Abu Dhabi FFM (Freddie and Fannie Mae)’ to gain access to your current accounts and servicing.

Odd to picture that scenario though

50 % of US mortgages being ‘founded’ or ‘based’ in the desert far far away.

I can see some US soldier going

“Hey Larry, while we’re here I want to open an account real quick, hold on, and if anyone freaks, shoot- bbiam Larry”

Not only will STILL be paying off the LAST Savings and Loan 1 trillion USD + scam

but they’ll be paying for this current mess too.

When they graduate ?

IF they realize they’ll NOW be competing in a global job market ?

heh

the money they make – probably 2, 3 ? 5 percent will go to cover these ‘write downs’.

Maybe US collegiate seniors should all just invest in HSBC ?

no, that would be making the same mistake – another good line that just hit me

“Never put all your eggs in one nation state in a global economy”

Oh who was it ? Cramer ? “Diversify ! Diversify ”

Indeed
