Inflation in the eurozone, China and India is already at levels deemed unacceptable, while even Japan has positive inflation for the first time in many years. In the United States, the producer price index increased 6.9% in the year to March, while that for crude goods increased more than 30%. Like a bowling ball swallowed by a python, that inflation will move through the economic system and eventually be reflected in consumer prices. http://cgg.org/index.cfm/fuseaction/news.sa/a/17180 BBC News dgrabbe@cgg.org http://cgg.org/index.cfm/fuseaction/news.sa/a/17180 Wed, 07 May 2008 12:05:00 EST More than 22,000 people were killed, says the government, but the top US diplomat in Burma warned that without speedy action that could top 100,000.

With much less fanfare than the early days of the Cold War, the world is entering a new arms race, and with it, a dangerous new web of military relationships. According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, which tracks international armed forces spending, between 1997 and 2006 global military expenditures jumped by nearly 40 percent. Driven mainly by anxiety over oil and natural resources, countries are building their arsenals of conventional weapons at a rate not seen in decades, beefing up their armies and navies, and forging potential new alliances that could divide up the world in unpredictable ways. http://cgg.org/index.cfm/fuseaction/news.sa/a/17177 Natural News .Com dgrabbe@cgg.org http://cgg.org/index.cfm/fuseaction/news.sa/a/17177 Wed, 30 Apr 2008 12:04:00 EST (NaturalNews) A new law being pushed in Canada by Big Pharma seeks to outlaw up to 60 percent of natural health products currently sold in Canada, even while criminalizing parents who give herbs or supplements to their children.
