1. I've been trying to tell people that for MONTHS
Commodities prices have been driven up across the board by hedge funds and brokerages because bubbles are easier to create there than in the massive stock market. They did the same damned thing in 2007-2008 (remember the stories about riots and hoarding?) and only dumped commodities when the CDO bubble burst.

Thank Phil Gramm for this one. He changed the rules so the thieves could starve people worldwide. And yes, the mess in the Middle East right now is happening because people are hungry.
