POPSMajor Cities' Plummeting Crime Rates Mystifying Not sure why they are baffled, it is pretty simple. Between Madoff, Wall Street and the banks wiping out a large portion of people's money and then the taxman, government, and foreclosures/layoffs taking the rest, there is not much for criminals to steal. You have to figure theft is out of the question since large majority of population has no $$, breaking and entering is tough - since so many foreclosures.

POPSCanadian Prime Minister Endorses One World Governance
Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper spoke to media at the conclusion of the G8 meetings in L'Aquila, Italy. He said, "It is critical that (banker bailouts) intervention reaches it's conclusion...." That conclusion according to him is "some substance of global governance." These masters of the universe will use any crisis possible to advance their global one world government agendas. He continued to use the term "unregulated capitalism" that caused the financial problems throughout the world as the reason for massive government bailouts of banks. What he fails to point out is that banks ignored existing regulations and loaned money to those that could not afford to borrow. Right now the only person that has been prosecuted for fraud is the man that confessed Bernie Madoff. Where are the other prosecutions? Bad business practices by bankers is not the citizens fault. That is the fault of greedy bankers and Wall Street manics that don't want to eat their bad business decisions.

POPSMadoff Hires Consultant to Shop for Best Prison According to the London Times, the 150-year sentence Madoff received makes him ineligible for any of the Club Fed prisons. The U.S. Bureau of Prisons uses a "Security Point Total," which represents a prisoner's risk, to determine the level of security the prisoner requires. Depending on his number, Madoff could be assigned to facilities ranging from a minimum-security prison camp (as in Martha's Stewart's stretch at Camp Cupcake) to a "Supermax" facility. So far, Madoff has spent his time in a maximum-security environment at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York. Hoelter said, "He has been incarcerated under very difficult conditions in these past months. Anywhere he goes is likely to be better than where he is now, unless they throw him into the Supermax . . . He will be able to get exercise. He will be able to do something that makes him productive. He may be able to tutor other inmates."
