"FROM THE WILDERNESS" INVITED TO ATTEND EXCLUSIVE GLOBAL FINANCIAL CONFERENCE, MARCH 6-7, 2001 IN MOSCOW. http://www.ffo.ru/eindex.html. CRISIS IN THE U.S. ECONOMY FTW - (2/12/01) - Because of previous writings on world economic and political developments as influenced by the drug trade and organized criminal behavior, as well as our coverage of money laundering out of the Russian financial system, FTW has been invited to attend a special financial conference in Moscow next month. The conference organizers which include the Russian Ministry of (Economic) Appraisal and other endorsing partners, including Reuters News Service, are seeking to address important "pre-crisis" issues attached to a potential crash of the U.S. stock market, Federal Reserve System and serious weakening of the U.S. dollar. Statements by the organizing committee indicate that attendance is severely limited to top financial executives from around the world and FTW is humbled to have been among those invited to attend. Apparently our economic and political map is shared by others. This event represents a quantum leap forward in the making of a more accurate map of how money really works in the world. Two of the many topics on the table for discussion include possible conversion to the Euro dollar as a means of oil pricing and "Unmotivated armed conflicts as the regulator of financial and stock market fluctuations." This is the first time that FTW has ever seen an open reference to an economic strategy that we, who were on the fringes, have been writing about for years. A complete description of the event and the agenda is available on the world wide web at http://www.ffo.ru/eindex.html. The estimated cost for me to attend this conference is $3,000. Within 48 hours of receiving this notice and verifying the authenticity of the sponsors we had received unsolicited pledges for $1,600 of that amount. This conference is too important not to attend and several of our academic subscribers have strongly encouraged us to go. But we still need to raise $1,400. FTW has already committed to go and we have begun the process of registration and Visa applications. We do this because we know how important it is to bring you the best information available in a highly fluid world picture. If you would like to help FTW get to Moscow and bring you back information you will not get anywhere else please send your contribution immediately to: FTW - Conference P.O. Box 6061-350 Sherman Oaks, CA 91413 All subscribers who contribute more than $200 to this effort will be given automatic five year extensions to their subscriptions as a means of saying thank you. All monies contributed for this trip will be set aside and used for no other purpose. If - for any reason - FTW is unable to attend all monies will be promptly returned. Thank you all, Michael C.
