The Crisis of Credit Visualized – Part 1

October 15th, 2009 | by admin |

The Short and Simple Story of the Credit Crisis.

By Jonathan Jarvis.

Crisisofcredit.com

The goal of giving form to a complex situation like the credit crisis is to quickly supply the essence of the situation to those unfamiliar and uninitiated. This project was completed as part of my thesis work in the Media Design Program, a graduate studio at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California.

For more on my broader thesis work exploring the use of new media to make sense of a increasingly complex world, visit jonathanjarvis.com

    Like a maths …
    Like a maths formula USA/IMF/W.B have set levels of poverty/lack of resources to approve any loan. Pakistans political filth is committing the blunder of confiscating human rights/basic needs of life/creating lack of resources & promoting mischief like fake inflation, no jobs, injustice to obtain loans & eat them all. USA terms these steps as corruption & blackmails Pakistans political filth. Anti Islamic Community uses USA & USA further uses Pakistan as front state for global destruction.

    Nukes are pretty, but not when they are aimed at you. Killing off a military is obsurdly simple. Nuke every major population center and you wipe out the military and it’s means of support. Go all in and turn your enemy to dust, or just play chess with people’s lives. Your choice leaders of Earth.

    NWO == Europe.

    NWO == Europe.

    Ireland (Irish Voters) has the chance to reject the Lisbon Treaty in Oct 2009.

    If the Lisbon Treaty comes into effect then there will be a new powerful EU / European Government that makes all laws for each country in Europe. Currently it makes 70% of the Laws.

    Europe will be controlled by EU politicians who are not voted into power by the EU European ciitzens.
    Where’s the democracy there?

    This must be stopped…

    F*ck banks! I …
    F*ck banks! I encourage everyone to PLEASE stop using your credit cards if possible — pay with cash or your debit cards. They are not issuing loans to people with good credit and income, and they are decreasing credit limits WITHOUT NOTIFICATION (not reqd until July 10) and then you overspend your credit limit, and whammo a fee! It’s unethical. Also, they are jacking up their interest rates as they know people are using their credit cards for a lack of funds. BOYCOTT CREDIT CARDS!

    If a bank lends $200,000 as a mortgage and the mortgage defaults, the house grows in value to $215,000 and they make $15,000. Do they sell the house on or do they have to lend $215,000 to another loaner to buy it?

    I know as a general fact that religion is a tool of social order. Can you give reference sites that detail these proclaimed tidbits from Islamic history?
