Julian Assange Arrested: WikiLeaks Founder Taken Into Custody In London On Swedish Warrant

Bien sûr! Ti's lla tihsllub!



These charges have nothing, I mean absolutely nothing to do with what he is doing. They can't get him on espionage, treason, or breeching security. He is the man the is revealing too much informatio­n. He knows too much. What disturbs me is that there are so many people ready to defend our government­'s action against this man, when in fact this man could be 'them'.



Rather the ,ǝןdǝǝɥs, would prefer to not rock the boat that they are being thrown out of. I thought the United States of America, at least what I was taught, was for, of and by the people not the lying, cheating, stealing corporate serohw.



Assange is the creepy guy at the party that is telling you that your drink has been drugged. Either you ignore him or you thank him and be vigilante when you get another drink.



The hype is the nice looking guy(or chick) telling you that you are suppose to stay asleep and ignore the abuses that your beloved government is doing to you "The creepy guy doesn't know what he is talking about," -says Big Brother Media.

Lindsey Graham Makes The Case For Strike On Iran

"What kind of Fool is You?"- Dick Gregory.



This isn't a surprise. Like DUH!



How many of you really believe that we weren't going pick on Iran after surrounding it in Iraq, Kuwait, Turkey, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Georgia? Why is there a currency war with Iran's biggest trading partner-China? Have we forgotten one of the largest US Embassies in stones throw of the Iranian border?



The bs behind the 'Ground Zero Mosque' that isn't a mosque nor at ground zero? The banning of sharia law, that DOES NOT EXIST in the US? The whole anti-muslim rhetoric?



You can set your clock to their testicle dropping when the Republicans get to office as of what is on their international agenda. That is why the world is disappointed with the mid-term results. They and the conscious Americans at home and abroad have to deal with these capitol A A//holes- again.



BTW, if you worried about the replenishment of the troops- when there is no job, no home, and no credit to get either- the Armed Forces is always ready and financed to take care of you- 3 hots and cot.

Rioters Throw Molotov Cocktails At Gay Pride Parade In Belgrade, Serbia

"Most of the rioters Sunday were young football fans whose groups have been infiltrated by neo-Nazi and other extremist organizations."



"These riots obviously have nothing to do with the gay parade or any moral values," said Democratic Party spokeswoman Jelana Trivan. "These are hooligan gangs which must be punished severely."



Using a social event to intimidate the electorate is several degrees worse than Bush & Cheney's campaign of God, Gays, and Guns. Wedge issue campaigning gone wild. A Paladino wet dream.



Side note: It said that the rioters were infiltrated by skin heads, meaning the opposition itself may have been hijacked, and not originally anti-gay, but anti-EU. Homosexuality v. economic transitions/conditions. The Pro-EU organizers and public relations machine could be using the LGBT community to 'arouse' the opposition to it's silliest level, as bait.



The anti-EU protester/rioters may have been initially antagonized by the Gay March, yet the Pro-EU party may have set it up that way. You can be gay and anti-EU.



Gay rights is an issue that invokes vitriol and emotional reactions- thus a perfect tool to sway election in either direction. Everyone should take note of that. Ruling parties will bargain with devil to keep their power. Don't under-estimated the power of politics.

Carl Paladino: Don't Be 'Brainwashed' Into Thinking Homosexuality Is An 'Equally Valid' Lifestyle (VIDEO)

Convicted rapists have the right to marry. But two gay doctors- no.



Stop validating opinions like this, which has no basis in reality. I am sure 95% of dysfunctional families and relationships are heterosexually based.



I said it once and I said it again, voting on human rights is wrong. What will be illegal for me is illegal for you. Equal application of the law is fundamental of a just democracy. If we continue to support and cater to the idealism of a separate but equal nation, we get what we deserve.



And, I love how the 'oppressed' groups push the LGBT communities of their shoulders like it hasn't a damned thing to do with them. Replace homosexuality with 'inter-racial dating'- reset yourself back 50 years in the US, what do you get? Go back 80 in Germany. Today in Saudi Arabia and Iran? Darfur? Atrocities, yes in 'other' nations, but all Americans have to do is vote for it. Look at the social complacency of the genocide of Native Americans.



Picking on the gays doesn't help black, hispanics, or any other minority groups with in the United States. Not to mention a subtle stab at Women's Rights, hidden misogyny.



Gays have the 'option' of going back in the closet, but they and I CHOSE to be real, stand out, and fight for rights despite the ridicule and heartache for all human beings.



Don't be brainwashed, the Civil Rights Movement isn't over.

Lance Bass On 'Larry King': I Used To Bully Gay Kids (VIDEO)

WRONG! You don't chose to be gay. You chose to lie or tell the truth about who you are. These suicides were based upon the pressure against their will to fight be truthful and free to be. Uploading someone's sexual behavior on line, without consent is fundamentally wrong, period.



Being called a deleterious name 10+ times a week and in some cases in a day, damages someone self-esteem at some point, and I am only talking about adults, imagine a adolescent child already dealing with their gender, age, personality, and character identity. Either your comment exemplifies your lack of maturity and empathy or you forgot how it was going through adolescence.



Self-esteem is non-existent when living a LIE. A person living a lie is a zombie, not be trusted or cared for.



The misogynistic policies within society makes it so that you are persecuted, scapegoated, bullied and virtually destroyed if you are 'different'. The Army say's you can't have a relationship but you are required to serve honorably? The Prez says you are separate but (not really) equal. Then these children watch adults participate in the destruction of families and marriages through the legislation of Prop 8.

If your government looks down on you and unabashedly supports your classmates, religious institutions, employers, media, and adult behaviors that continue to debase something they accuse or you suspect you are, then where is this self esteem you speak of, suppose to come from?

Sarah Silverman Addresses Gay Teen Suicides, Blames DADT And Gay Marriage Bans (VIDEO)

Sorry but Rosa Parks didn't think sitting in the back of the bus was good enough. Women weren't 'satisfied' with second class citizenship. Nor were the slaves 'content' with their servitude. I am sure that gays, no matter what stripe, will not be content with being separate and NOT equal.



Creating a separate 'sub'-class of marriage for non-breeding couples is just blatantly discriminatory for hetereo's, polygamists, and gays. That is a greater perversion of the constitution than allowing gay marriage. You are supporting a subtle eugenic idealism, that only the 'fit' and 'worthy' are allowed to participate and benefit in society. Others must be classified and subject to second or other class consideration upon application of the law. This is a dangerous slippery slope for everyone. Barring the 'unwanted' from equal application of rights will creates disunity and dysfunction in any nation and society.



To put it simply, what is forbidden for me will forbidden for you. Denying rights to others denies you the same. It just logical. Equal application of the law is what a civil society is about. That's a principal of a successful democracy and a true free society.



Pontificating a 'Brave New World' fear will not convince anyone. What you are talking about is evolution in human ingenuity. Your fear is based upon Western world view which has no basis in reality in the future of non-western societies. Western propaganda and fear mongering from what you say is a lot like Alex Jones.

Woman Shoots 12-Year-Old 'Little Monster' Who Threw Bricks At Her (VIDEO)

I hail from Chicago, right from that neighborhood (79th & Maryland to be exact). These little snots had it coming. My mother told me about the days where if you were caught doing something wrong in the neighborhood by the neighbor- the neighbor had the right whip that ***. Then report you to the parents where they whipped your ***. Now, if you even blink the wrong way at a child you are going to jail.



Corporal punishment is frowned upon and downright illegal, because a few have abused it. Children can simply accuse abuse and the parents go to jail- generally speaking. Yet, they grow up with no respect for their lives nor others in many cases.



Sad thing is if we had a mature society where the neighborhood watched and cared for each other, these little tyrants wouldn't be allowed to throw a brick into a senior citizen's chest, let alone get shot for doing it. Talk about Clockwork Orange. We've abandon each for safety.

Ahmadinejad U.N. Speech (VIDEO): U.S. Walks Out Over 9/11 Conspiracy Theories

I love how Iran is evil,when the US is fighting two wars and instigating another.

I love how Ahmadinejad is insane for wanting to wipe Israel off the face of the Earth when Israeli forces have on so many occasions bombed innocent civilians of a non-functioning state, bombed Syria's nuclear site with no UN backing, and use 100x the force necessary to quell violence on their borders-never been tried or fined, we just tell 'em "God job Brownie".

I love how evil these brown people are for stoning and imprisonment of people who break the code, but bankers in the United States can run scott free of responsibility for lying, cheating, and stealing from the government and it's people. (We execute the mentally ill).

I really love how those who paint the Iranian president crazy for questioning 'who really hurt us' when they still believe we are fighting terrorists and not selling opium in Afghanistan.

I love how Ahmadinejad is crazy for questioning motives behind the United States, when American citizens smile and grin as they are colonizing the world against the will of many nations and its own citizenry all at the cost of the national blood and treasury.

I love how much easier it is to paint someone else as crazy when we voluntarily sent our children to invade and die in foreign land based on a lie. (And we are still there living that lie).

Small Businesses Delay Hiring, Wait For Senate To Act

So my friend have you done such things and receive that type criticism from those you accuse? I for one am a 'Lefty'. I don't live off the government nor am I painter. I work for a living and believe in self-reliance. But I am never so cold hearted to starve the masses who don't share my belief. Lefty disease, I guess, big-heartedness.



I prefer that everyone is allowed to be "hard-working and industrious.." and accumulate 'non ill-gotten" wealth by their own means. What I disdain are those auto-industrious folk changing the game and pulling up the ladder on those whom never had the chance. It's selfish to not share the blessing with others, when it is they that helped you get to where you are.



The rich are rich by someone buying their idea, product, their leadership. The self- industrious were allow to be by the progressive attitudes toward their endeavor; open minds. The wealth they accumulate is received from the blood, sweat and tears from the labor of those who patron their establishment.



Even in the worse case, someone lost for you to win, to have for you to receive or take a chance or opportunity.



Don't be so delusional to think that, be it either by the pure fortune of God or the hands of people in your life, you've done it alone. No one does.

Why The Prop 8 Ruling Scares Religious Conservatives

I love the religious the arguments. So if 49 states says it's illegal to marry more than one spouse, then why is it ok for the Mormons (and other evangelical denominations) to push that lifestyle upon our society when "majority of American believe that marriage is between A man and A woman". HUH!?!?

Issue here is the recognition of marital practices by the state not by Church A. They are seriously marching down a dangerous road. I love how the Religious (I Am always) Right defends discrimination but cry bloody murder when someone or something is not supportive of their beliefs...

We don't pay taxes because 'Gods gonna get you!'... We pay taxes to participate in a 'developing' society. We don't do jury duty because some God 'told us' to do so, we do because it's our civic duty, which can be reciprocated.

Tim Wise vs. Jared Taylor The Merits of Racial Diversity 8/10

I have wasted most of my day watching this debate, which is rich with info. These two, Tim Wise pro-racial equality and Jared Taylor pro-racial segregationist, are debating the validity of 'race' and discrimination.

I personally, professionally, and humanely believe that race is a social construct created to divide and conquer the oppressed. Race is not real nor is it genetic. As discussed in the other videos, even by a chemist, there is a minute difference between the 'whites' and 'blacks' in the US. Yet Jared Taylor in this video believes that because that there is a genetic predisposition (which is scientifically false) the United States of America with all of it's great wealth and hegemony, will turn into a 3rd world country, 'similiar to South America' he says, if whites do NOT wake up and realize what they are giving up.

Ironically, Jared Taylor would be blocked from traveling to Europe because of his beliefs and his espoused views, all on the cause that he would inspire hate speech and racial/ethnic violence. Isn't that funny? Pat Robertson wasn't allow to go to Jerusalem for espousing anti-Semitic views. I believe David Dukkke is blocked from some European nations. 'White' as far as 'race' is concerned, is an American demographic, not European.*

BP may have triggered the start of a Mass Extinction Event

by Terrence Aym

Ominous reports are leaking past the BP Gulf salvage operation news blackout that the disaster unfolding in the Gulf of Mexico may be about to reach biblical proportions.

251 million years ago a mammoth undersea methane bubble caused massive explosions, poisoned the atmosphere and destroyed more than 96 percent of all life on Earth. [1] Experts agree that what is known as the Permian extinction event was the greatest mass extinction event in the history of the world. [2]

55 million years later another methane bubble ruptured causing more mass extinctions during the Late Paleocene Thermal Maximum (LPTM).

The LPTM lasted 100,000 years. [3]

Those subterranean seas of methane virtually reshaped the planet when they explosively blew from deep beneath the waters of what is today called the Gulf of Mexico.

Now, worried scientists are increasingly concerned the same series of catastrophic events that led to worldwide death back then may be happening again-and no known technology can stop it.

The bottom line: BP’s Deepwater Horizon drilling operation may have triggered an irreversible, cascading geological Apocalypse that will culminate with the first mass extinction of life on Earth in many millions of years.

The oil giant drilled down miles into a geologically unstable region and may have set the stage for the eventual premature release of a methane mega-bubble.

Ryskin’s methane extinction theory

Northwestern University's Gregory Ryskin, a bio-chemical engineer, has a theory: The oceans periodically produce massive eruptions of explosive methane gas. He has documented the scientific evidence that such an event was directly responsible for the mass extinctions that occurred 55 million years ago. [4]

Many geologists concur: "The consequences of a methane-driven oceanic eruption for marine and terrestrial life are likely to be catastrophic. Figuratively speaking, the erupting region "boils over," ejecting a large amount of methane and other gases (e.g., CO2, H2S) into the atmosphere, and flooding large areas of land. Whereas pure methane is lighter than air, methane loaded with water droplets is much heavier, and thus spreads over the land, mixing with air in the process (and losing water as rain). The air-methane mixture is explosive at methane concentrations between 5% and 15%; as such mixtures form in different locations near the ground and are ignited by lightning, explosions and conflagrations destroy most of the terrestrial life, and also produce great amounts of smoke and of carbon dioxide..." [5]

The warning signs of an impending planetary catastrophe—of such great magnitude that the human mind has difficulty grasping it-would be the appearance of large fissures or rifts splitting open the ocean floor, a rise in the elevation of the seabed, and the massive venting of methane and other gases into the surrounding water.

Such occurrences can lead to the rupture of the methane bubble containment—it can then permit the methane to breach the subterranean depths and undergo an explosive decompression as it catapults into the Gulf waters. [6]

All three warning signs are documented to be occurring in the Gulf.

Ground zero: The Gulf Coast

The people and property located on the greater expanse of the Gulf Coast are sitting at Ground Zero. They will be the first exposed to poisonous, cancer causing chemical gases. They will be the ones that initially experience the full fury of a methane bubble exploding from the ruptured seabed.

The media has been kept away from the emergency salvage measures being taken to forestall the biggest catastrophe in human history. The federal government has warned them away from the epicenter of operations with the threat of a $40,000 fine for each infraction and the possibility of felony arrests.

Why is the press being kept away? Word is that the disaster is escalating.

Cracks and bulges

Methane is now streaming through the porous, rocky seabed at an accelerated rate and gushing from the borehole of the first relief well. The EPA is on record that Rig #1 is releasing methane, benzene, hydrogen sulfide and other toxic gases. Workers there now wear advanced protection including state-of-the-art, military-issued gas masks.

Reports, filtering through from oceanologists and salvage workers in the region, state that the upper level strata of the ocean floor is succumbing to greater and greater pressure. That pressure is causing a huge expanse of the seabed-estimated by some as spreading over thousands of square miles surrounding the BP wellhead-to bulge. Some claim the seabed in the region has risen an astounding 30 feet.

The fractured BP wellhead, site of the former Deepwater Horizon, has become the epicenter of frenetic attempts to quell the monstrous flow of methane.

The subterranean methane is pressurized at 100,000 pounds psi. According to Matt Simmons, an oil industry expert, the methane pressure at the wellhead has now skyrocketed to a terrifying 40,000 pounds psi.

Another well-respected expert, Dr. John Kessler of Texas A&M University has calculated that the ruptured well is spewing 60 percent oil and 40 percent methane. The normal methane amount that escapes from a compromised well is about 5 percent.

More evidence? A huge gash on the ocean floor—like a ragged wound hundreds of feet long—has been reported by the NOAA research ship, Thomas Jefferson. Before the curtain of the government enforced news blackout again descended abruptly, scientists aboard the ship voiced their concerns that the widening rift may go down miles into the earth.

That gash too is hemorrhaging oil and methane. It’s 10 miles away from the BP epicenter. Other, new fissures, have been spotted as far as 30 miles distant.

Measurements of the multiple oil plumes now appearing miles from the wellhead indicate that as much as a total of 124,000 barrels of oil are erupting into the Gulf waters daily-that’s about 5,208,000 gallons of oil per day.

Most disturbing of all: Methane levels in the water are now calculated as being almost one million times higher than normal. [7]

Mass death on the water

If the methane bubble—a bubble that could be as big as 20 miles wide—erupts with titanic force from the seabed into the Gulf, every ship, drilling rig and structure within the region of the bubble will immediately sink. All the workers, engineers, Coast Guard personnel and marine biologists participating in the salvage operation will die instantly.

Next, the ocean bottom will collapse, instantaneously displacing up to a trillion cubic feet of water or more and creating a towering supersonic tsunami annihilating everything along the coast and well inland. Like a thermonuclear blast, a high pressure atmospheric wave could precede the tidal wave flattening everything in its path before the water arrives.

When the roaring tsunami does arrive it will scrub away all that is left.

A chemical cocktail of poisons

Some environmentalist experts are calling what’s pouring into the land, sea and air from the seabed breach ’a chemical cocktail of poisons.’

Areas of dead zones devoid of oxygen are driving species of fish into foreign waters, killing plankton and other tiny sea life that are the foundation for the entire food chain, and polluting the air with cancer-causing chemicals and poisonous rainfalls.

A report from one observer in South Carolina documents oily residue left behind after a recent thunderstorm. And before the news blackout fully descended the EPA released data that benzene levels in New Orleans had rocketed to 3,000 parts per billion.

Benzene is extremely toxic and even short term exposure can cause agonizing death from cancerous lesions years later.

The people of Louisiana have been exposed for more than two months—and the benzene levels may be much higher now. The EPA measurement was taken in early May. [8]

Doomsday

While some say it can’t happen because the bulk of the methane is frozen into crystalline form, others point out that the underground methane sea is gradually melting from the nearby surging oil that’s estimated to be as hot as 500 degrees Fahrenheit.

Most experts in the know, however, agree that if the world-changing event does occur it will happen suddenly and within the next 6 months.

So, if events go against Mankind and the bubble bursts in the coming months, Gregory Ryskin may become one of the most famous people in the world. Of course, he won't have long to enjoy his new found fame because very shortly after the methane eruption civilization will collapse.

Perhaps if humanity is very, very lucky, some may find a way to avoid the mass extinction that follows and carry on the human race.

Perhaps.

I have pondered. I stand by my comment. I was referring to her educational background, and the fact that she is managing to care for 2 grown college students, and a grand-daughter. She has skills, abilities, gifts, and talents that she can market to make her life better, not to mention money. Yes, I know the transition is tough. I know I am not addressing the 'fundamental economic structural problems' (i.e. jasondeluxe) that are apparent, but I have seen this before. The boom bust cycle is predictable. I think it could be a solution for her. My idea is out there but imo, it's better than where she is.

Nuclear Fireworks. Share this video.

I think we really take a look at how sick we are as a tribe. Watching this video fairly sad and puts a perspective on the lies coming out of D.C. to demonize Iran, which no more innocent. We should watch our back against those who say they are there 'for your protection'.

Happy Belated 4th.

Expired Unemployment Benefits Causing Panic, Desperation: 'I'm Drowning Fast'

I may get slammed for this but oh well....



Maybe it's high time for her and others stop looking for work from others and use the god given talents, learned skills, abilities and gifts to perform services for others. Charge $20 for each service provided. Entrepreneurship (as I was taught, not sure I really believe it, but it's time to prove it) is what the US was built upon. Stop working for others and work for yourself and your family.

In down turns people do desperate things, but those things done don't necessarily need to be illegal or demeaning.



Appreciate what you have to get the things you need, so you can have the things you want. I wonder what would happen if everyone decided to create interdependently and be free from the government and the corporate society. This has nothing to do political parties or religious association- it's our motivation to do so. It's in our hands not the Senate, the House, or the POTUS.

That is the biggest middle finger you can give to a failed system like this. Prove me wrong.

CNBC's Rick Santelli: "STOP SPENDING!" (VIDEO)

Make Santelli work in Greece when they did exactly that. This jack ass makes my ass itch. OK, no more interstate highways, no more farm subsidies, no more 'corporate welfare', no more military, no more education, no more border patrols, no more prisons, no more cops....



He does not seem to understand the United States is a big bitch which can handle any 'recession'. He apparently does not pay much attention to the world around him. Just knowing that he has legions of people who follow him like a prophet frightens me.

The Coming Intifada

USA Foul? Controversial World Cup Call Clouds Comeback (VIDEO)

Agreed. A mistake is a mistake. At least they tied. I think this is the most attention soccer has gotten from the US. This will be an major plus in for soccer worldwide. Hopefully it will anger or motivate enough Americans to get off their saddles and try again with even more passion to win. This call in the end will be a boon for American soccer.

The FACTA Progress...

Oh, congratulation Switzerland for beating the European Champions.

Lady Gaga's 'Telephone' Video Featuring Beyonce Is Beyond, NSFW

Ok I finally watch this video after it was posted a million times on my FB feed. My opinion-

-It's something I wished Madonna and Janet would have done together (two great titans of the music industry mesh their talent together, some dreams go to the way side).

-LOVED the imagery, the tech, and visual play on the dance movements.

-Love the creativity of the outfits, I have always respected Lady GaGa for that.

-Liked the feline power presented

-Noticed the Thelma & Louis theme, don't know how I feel about that.

-Appreciate the collaboration between the two.

But for the that sorry ass, slowed down techno, monotony of music- SUCKED. That is why I will never purchase a single song from Lady Gaga. There needs to be something that breaks through and beyond the bling kling, the ting tang, and bleep beep of two computers copulating.

So my grade for them would be a solid C-. I know they are way more talented and Beyoncé disappoints me with the amount of experience she has. They can do better. Where is the message?

I gave my 9 minutes, I thinks it's fair.

Send Us Your Questions For Ford CEO Alan Mulally!

My Ford Question

Mr. Alan Mullaly,

I had discussion with my partner a couple of years ago about the impact the car v.s the train had on the American society. My partner explained and pointed out to me that Ford and the other car companies essentially subsidized and directed the construction of municipalities to accommodate and sustain the viability of the motor vehicle, personal or otherwise through infrastructure, laws, sub-industries, and lifestyle. We, the human race, are heading toward a damning age of scarcity, no matter which way you cut it.



So here's my question,



Since you (Ford) have been king of the road since your inception, why not now take the majestic leap and not only to assist, but be the harbinger of sustainability? Specifically, since through 2 generations of blood, sweat, and tears, we gave you the road through education of the usage of the vehicle, laws protecting it, and our embracing it as symbol of our sovereignty, why not create jobs, decrease pollution, further protect the environment and teach anew a respect for our resources by supporting, leading, and manufacturing high-speed rail systems that would rival China, France, Germany, and Britain? It is my belief that this would at least allow Ford to remain at the top, be morally profitable, and garner a greater respect from those that are fighting for a sustainable future for mankind.

Being a victim of Intelligent backlash against Ignorant legislation.

I was shot down by a bank representative on Thursday about my account when I tried to reorder a bank card. From what I understood, my bank account may be shut because I am an American citizen. She kept repeating 'Qualified Intermediary' to me as I was trying lower my blood pressure (I just knew this was coming). She explained all US citizens of Bank Cantonal Vaudois (BCV) will be notified of their situation by letter, this month. She finished by apologizing and explaining that at this moment, BCV can not issue me a card because of the 'qualified intermediary' issue. Which sent me on very frustrating information search marathon.

The Qualified Intermediary (also known as an Accommodator) should be a corporation that is in the full-time business of facilitating 1031 exchanges. The role of a QI is similar to, but not identical to, the role of an escrow company.

-Wikipedia.org

(Anyone doing financial business on behalf of an American, even just opening a simple checking account for an American)

Well I have been digging around and I have found that Charlie Rangel with HR 3933 and Max Baucus with S 1934 are planning to beef up the tax collection policies of the IRS by requiring that any 'qualified intermediary' to report on the account activities of all Americans doing business with them under FATCA. According to American Citizens Abroad, a non-profit advocacy organization for United States citizens,

'With regard to American citizens residing abroad, a group of major UK banks has already stated
that they will close accounts of American citizens if the proposed QI regulations of January 1, 2010 become effective. We know for a fact that Swiss, Dutch and Spanish banks are refusing American citizens residing in their countries as clients and are closing accounts. Do not forget that there are over 5 million American citizens residing abroad. These people need to maintain foreign bank accounts in the country where they reside to make current payments receive salaries and hold their investments. The proposed legislation and reinforced QI* regulations will make it all the more difficult for overseas Americans to maintain a bank account where they reside. '
*(Qualified Intermediary)

This is what the bill does via Open Congress.com

Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act of 2009 - Amends the Internal Revenue Code to revise and add reporting and other requirements relating to income from assets held abroad, including by:
(1) requiring foreign financial and nonfinancial institutions to withhold 30% of payments made to such institutions by U.S. individuals unless such institutions agree to disclose the identity of such individuals and report on their bank transactions;
(2) denying a tax deduction for interest on non-registered bonds issued outside the United States;
(3) requiring any individual who holds more than $50,000 in a depository or custodial account maintained by a foreign financial institution to report on such accounts;
(4) imposing an enhanced tax penalty for underpayments attributable to undisclosed foreign financial assets;
(5) extending the limitation period for assessment of underpayments with respect to assets held outside the United States;
(6) requiring certain tax advisors who assist U.S. individuals in acquiring a direct or indirect interest in a foreign entity to file an information return disclosing the identity of the foreign entity and the individual investors;
(7) requiring shareholders of a passive foreign investment company to file informational returns;
(8) enhancing tax rules and penalties relating to foreign trusts with U.S. beneficiaries; and
(9) requiring withholding of tax on dividend equivalent payments received by foreign individuals.

The odds:

From my experience and business empathy, they will close my account. I don't blame them. I don't support tax evasion nor tax fraud. Yet, I don't support imposing laws that punish the innocent to justify the enforcement of laws broken by a few. It's inane and very draconian. Why should my bank keep me when it would be cheaper and less of a burden to force me to find another institution? Understood, but what I don't understand, why a blanket enforcement with such apathy for the complications that come along with such legislation?

To my friend Josh in China, this includes you. This bill does not specify nations, just American citizens. Banks will be hard pressed to find any benefit in assisting Americans with their finances if it means answering to the IRS (which in their eyes is a foreign tax collection agency with no true jurisdiction within their borders). I as well as any American abroad (I am not clear about service members, diplomats, corporations, private businesses, etc.) are being punished for a few bad apples. I pray I can find a banking institution that isn't repulsed by my citizenship.

Oh, about the american banks abroad, the common (mis)perception of any American abroad is that we are rich. That we work for some major corporation or on military leave. Last year my income was a record $25,ooo thanks to working as a receptionist for a Swiss owned and operated small business. The banks, American or international, have raised the minimum to astronomical levels- $250,000. This will insure that there aren't any shananigans. (I received email today from ACA.org with a list of banks and the minimum deposit requirements all were above $500,000 with exception of Charles Schwab- still developing).

In the end, the PosteFinance.ch, seems like a viable option. Crossing fingers.

If anyone has any info about this issue, I would greatly appreciate it. I will post the letter once received. I will pass more info upon reception on my end.

Ciao!
