Odds 'n Sods:
JT found us this: Bad
News and Bank Runs. Talk about more “stimulus checks”, and blaming “blogs” for “misinformation” that
fed people’s fears. And reader Cheryl N. found two articles that tie
in
nicely:
FDIC
Smoke & Mirrors and US
National Debt Limit Raised Ahead of Budget Busting
Bailout Legislation. (Cheryl's comment: "Paulson's Bazooka will be locked
and loaded with enough firepower to blow what's left of our economy into the
dustbin of history. ")

The WRSA has another "Grid-Down Medical Course" scheduled soon.
This one will be
in
Everett, Washington, September 12-14. Their training is inexpensive,
and highly
recommended.
This
is also a
great
way to bump into fellow SurvivalBlog readers. (Wear your SurvivalBlog
hat or t-shirt!) For those of you living in the Eastern United States, Medical
Corps has a "Medical Response in a Hostile Environment" course scheduled
for that same weekend, and they may still have a few seats
available.

Reader Michael H. recommended some economic commentary from Bob Chapman: Paper
Sold To Pools Of Liquidity

Just in time for the Olympics, Recombinomics reports an
outbreak of an unidentified hemorrhagic fever in China's Shandong Province.
After reading the summary, click on the ProMED link in the article for
more information. (A hat tip to "Cyberiot")

JT also spotted this: Merrill to Sell $8.5 Billion of Stock, Unload CDOs. The article
describes the shell game the banksters are playing with their worthless CDOs.
