where did my money go?

Geert Wilders his movie Fitna still makes the world not save for him. Who cares?
The Dutch should because the threats against the nation are still there and those threats feel like a burden if you're sensitive for it.
A spokesman of his party was asked about Wilders' opinion. He referred to Wilders himself. He would not answer the question himself. According to a political satire it´s good not to express his opinion because to secure one man in today´s turmoil is expensive enough.
Maybe he's with Ayaan Hirshi Ali in the US. Nobody knows him in the US. ;-)

At work the question was raised where all the money went to due to the credit crisis.

Where did the money go to? If you take everything into consideration the international financial system lost 90 billion Euro.

My simplification:
Banks have had balance sheet values which didn't have the value after facing the sub prime loans affair. In the US banks collapsed directly due to this affair. Banks in Europe followed with serious financial problems.

Let's go back where it started. Let's suppose it started in the US, where people have dreams and where dreams can come true with hard work. Where people with small wages can buy a homes because of the sub prime loans.

Mortgage company lend money -> Real estate agents earn their fee -> People pimp their houses -> Stores earn money -> US have a trade surplus -> Exporting countries are doing well (Dutch export should rise too but the Euro became to expensive -> Flourishing labour market on US and Euro side of the Atlantic -> Bouncing industry and trade -> Citizen in US and Europe are doing well financially -> signs of weakness became obvious when the Internet bubble burst in 2000/2001 -> 7 years later, after excessive spending, the financial bubble burst.

Who has earned on these collapses? The people (= you & me) did in the past years.
Who is gonna pay for it? the people (you & me) will in the coming years.

The Wilders "movie"

Dutch politician Geert Wilders has released his so called movie. It can be seen on this site.

Wilders made a couple of errors in his 16 minutes statement on the Internet. He showed a photograph of the murderer of Theo van Gogh. It was actually the photo of rapper Salah Edin
Wilders showed in Fitna some images of terrorists attacks and showed Quran verses.
It isn't much to talk about. It wasn't the talk of town. We expected more. Mind that Geert Wilders had almost 5 months to realize his so called movie. He said a lot about it in public but at the release it appeared to be a copy and paste effort of the Dutch Parlementarian.

The Dutch Prime Minister was afraid that it could harm Dutch interest abroad like it did Denmark with the cartoons printed in the Jylland Posten
Also Wilders violated copyrights of the maker of the Mohammed cartoons he used in Fitna.
Also the voice of a Dutch journalist was without permission in the Internet broadcast interviewing Theo van Gogh.

Note: Fitna has been removed from the Liveleak servers tonight.
Is this freedom of speech?

Have you heard about Fitna

.... the movie of Geert Wilders? There isn't any at all... It's all an ordeal.
It's a might be movie to destabilize the nation.

Was The last temptation of Christ a movie which was blaspheme according to some orhodox Christians. Now Fitna of Geert Wilders is almost censored under pressure of the Dutch prime minister Balkenende and his cabinet. the anti-Islam movie might cause Holland big personal, social and economic problems. You can all name it.

If Fitna isn't broad-casted the anxiety for terror has won, do I want that?
No of course not. I can only think that the movie doesn't exist. It's fake, like the Organ Donorshow was. (see the post -BNN's great Donorshow- at May 5 2007)

However there is a dutch countermovie on Youtube.. really good I think if you understand Dutch
