Space Ports

Prof J Farrell has been doing a lot of research and writing about where the 'black budgets' are being spent, and here is his Christmas special revealing some answers to his previously rhetorical questions:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbEE58nrddY#t=731

This new 'black' technology goes to explain a lot of the UFO sightings over the last few decades. Unfortunately he thinks that the 'financial élite's are not losing at all, but that they are busy creating a global consensus to work together to explore (read exploit!) space - mining asteroids, mineral rights on the moon, etc.

Makes your heart sink just at the thought of it.

Here's Part Two:

As most wars or 'points of conflict' can very easily be traced to resources, it would be worth while keeping an eye on developments of this story.

Bitcoin is Revolutionary

Here`s an excert from an interesting piece on how Bitcoin can liberate us from the Banksters:

9) Bitcoin just needs to get to a critical mass where a few companies provide all items you need to purchase to survive, as soon as that happens, bitcoin will be self sufficient and these companies will be able to keep btc off balance sheet where they will not be obliged to pay taxes, this is as big of an incentive as any for a seller. When this happens, there will be an entire ecosystem of commerce which is not answerable to the government. Furthermore there is NOTHING the government can do about it. When this happens, the government will be cut off from their taxes and will no longer have the credit rating to finance institutions that censor free speech and there WILL be a revolution. Currently over 22,000 companies accept bitcoin, and that number is increasing every day!

Also we ask the 60-million dollar question: do we need banks? Answer: No, of course not!

Negative Interest Rates

It would be in your interest to learn what this means:

http://www.answers.com/topic/negative-interest-rate

Also here, where it says people will hold cash instead of keeping their money in the bank at negative interest rates:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interest_rate#Negative_interest_rates

Problem is, what happens when cash doesn`t exist any more?

Monetising Everything

`The American economy seems to be succeeding at monetizing everything while producing fewer and fewer goods or services of any real value to anyone but a few rich people profiting off the entire system.`

from:

http://cluborlov.blogspot.fr/2013/12/american-collapse-recovery-or-whatever.html

As I have noticed here in Europe, gradually every form of human interraction has become monetised, so that you have to put your hand in your pocket even to sit down - the free benches in towns having been removed. I have an interesting DVD about this, created by some French architects.

I appreciate that it`s difficult for most people to believe that this is deliberate policy - they prefer to blame it on Capitalism, or Socialism, or anything except the real reason: a cronyism so well thought out and nefarious and pervasive that you will not wake up until it`s too late. The boiling frogs scenario. In my opinion, we`re almost there.

I`ve got my ear-plugs ready for when the wails of disbelief go up.

State Capture

Karen Hudes mentions this term often in her interviews, and upon reading the definition it`s difficult to disagree with:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_capture

Note there are quite a few people who disagree with this Wiki definition - wouldn`t happen to be the perpetrators or beneficiaries, would it?

Here`s another definition:

 http://www.assetrecovery.org/kc/node/7c56396a-bb9c-11dc-86fc-d95afdb81c71.0;jsessionid=98B080A18DC958EA3CD7088E080758A7

And here, interestingly, is a Report written about this very same phenomenon, but focusing on Russia and the Ukraine. Written over a decade ago, it`s interestig to see that this area is very much in the news again today:

 http://www.ualberta.ca/CIUS/stasiuk/st-pdf/Explaining%20State%20Capture.pdf

Note: I haven`t yet read this pdf, so cannot guarantee a lack of Western bias!

Bail-Ins

More and more commentators are talking of this huge risk to savers and bank account holders, where they lose all of their deposits when the bail-ins happen, as the bondholders are bailed-out first.

Looking back from the future, after the crash, we will be able to see many intelligent people who were desperately trying to warn us of what was coming, but no-one was listening.

Here is Nomi Prins giving an insider's view of what is happening at the Fed:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njDQiPoVAng&feature=c4-overview&list=UUG-G8LLr38fQUNZU8K0t-EA

Global Currency Reset

Or the GCR, as Jim Willie says it's being referred to in documents.

Here Lindsay Williams talks about the theft of the US pension funds, exactly according to plan by the self-appointed 'élite':

http://radio.goldseek.com/nuggets/williams.12.04.13.mp3

Although I listen to what he says with a very sceptical ear, it does all seem to tie in with a lot of other information that I'm reading. So it's better to get it out there.

And if he's right, it confirms what I have suspected, that this GCR is all orchestrated, organised and planned. Apparently 204 countries have agreed to have their currencies 'reset', presumably against gold, and away we go with the new global digital currency.

Some say that Bitcoin is the precurser to this global currency, others say Bitcoin is a way to combat it. Personally I don't know, but I wouldn't be surprised if everything digital just disappears overnight. Like the SouthPark episode: "Poof, it's gone!".

If you don't hold it, you don't own it.

Hong Kong & Singapore Join to Oust the Dollar

'On the other side of the world today, a couple of gentlemen that few people have ever heard of signed an agreement that has massive consequences for the global financial system.

It was a Memorandum of Understanding signed by representatives of the Singapore Exchange and Hong Kong Exchange. Their aim– to combine their forces in rolling out more financial products denominated in Chinese renminbi.'

Endgame

US hegemony fades (rather quickly!) as China's rises. Here's an excellent summary by Paul Craig Roberts, ex US Treasury Secretary under Reagan - i.e. he's not a Commie!

http://www.kingworldnews.com/kingworldnews/Broadcast/Entries/2013/11/30_Dr._Paul_Craig_Roberts.html

Again, his analysis ties in very well with predictions made by Jim Willie. He's quiet lately, but as soon as he posts something new, I'll put it up here.

Crypto-currencies

Now that I've done a bit of research on them, it appears it is true - these are an 'organic' peer-to-peer way of conducting internet financial transactions by-passing the Central Planners - cutting out the middle-man.

This actually means we've won, and escaped their clutches, although it might take a decade or more to play out. It's worth listening to the previous post about Bitcoin, and listening to Bill Still about Quarks, and other cryptocurrencies:

Checkmate by China

It has been coming for quite a few years, but here we have it in print, in writing and in action: China has stated that it doesn't need/want to stockpile or buy the US dollar any more. This ties in with what Jim Willie has been saying, that China has resigned itself to writing off $1 trillion of US Treasuries, as they will be compensated by the corresponding increase in the price of gold, which they have been stockpiling, secretly and openly.

http://gizadeathstar.com/2013/11/hoarding-foreign-currency/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+GizaDeathStar+%28Giza+Death+Star%29

Couple this with all of the bi-lateral trade deals that China has been doing, based in the yuan (see this blog), and you can see that the move away from the US dollar has accelerated exponentially.

Predicted: 50% internal inflation in the US practically overnight. A lot of Americans are going to have quite a suprise coming.

Global Currency Reset

For better or worse - could it be much worse?

Here's a long interview with Jim Willie, laying out the death of the dollar:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPQRWrSdGF0#t=139

Unfortunately, even if (when) the US dollar does eventually get abandoned by other stronger economies, I do not see much improvement in global human rights issues, ecological improvements, economic resurrection, etc. For example, Israel has signed a deal with Russia for the use of the gas they found in the Eastern Mediterranean. China is still buying up huge tracts of African lands - can that be democratic? Saudi Arabia is making deals with Israel against Iran - strange bedfellows indeed. Doesn't look like 'peace' is any part of these equations.

However, it's interesting to be living through the most crucial moment in human history, as I'm convinced we're going to see huge changes well within my lifetime, and probably before the end of this decade. I don't think anyone can tell whether life will be better or worse - but it sure will be different.

Death of the Petrodollar - Continued

China is going to price its oil futures in Yuan, not dollars:

http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/11/21/china-crudeoil-idUSL4N0J62M120131121

Shooting Yourself in the Foot II

I'm back!

Part I of the Anglo-American Empire shooting itself in the foot was trying to introduce SWIFT controls on Iran, a few years ago, which only served to push Iran into the BRICS camp, and to encourage the BRICS nations to speed-up their moves away from the dollar.

In Part II is mentioned here by Prof J Farrell, where the Western alliance (Anglo-American élites/empire, etc, several possible titles) is criticising Germany for being over-productive and being responsible for the global economy faultering. That assertion belongs in the "you couldn't make this stuff up" folder, but there will be many peole who will believe it, or who will want to believe it.

This will result, according to Prof Farrell's speculations (which are often spot-on) in Germany moving closer to the BRICS nations, especially Russia, from whom it derives most of its energy needs, and China, as a partner in commerce. My speculation: this will result in even more yuan currency swaps away from the dollar, helping to sink the petrodollar more quickly.

Unpalateable Truths

Here is an interview with Catherine Austin Fitts, where she speaks real truths that no-one wants to hear. She even mentions that America was built on stealing other peoples' land! Very rare to hear about that!

BRICSA Lay New Internet Cable

Here Prof. J Farrell talks about this, plus other very interesting titbits:

Here is another article about it, including the route of the cable:

http://www.globalresearch.ca/the-brics-independent-internet-in-defiance-of-the-us-centric-internet

Prof Farrell also mentions that the EU leaders are using the NSA spying scandal to do some political manoeuvering, plus the EU Parliament are making moves to block US access to SWIFT - which is huge news! Here's an article about it:

 http://rt.com/news/eu-surveillance-trust-us-720/

Debt ceilings, Dollars and Bank Charges

I have yet to read any of Prof. Farrell's books, but I have followed what he has to say for a few years, and I like his ability to pull together sometimes seemingly-unconnected data, to try to see where we're headed. Here he works out that depositors in a bank are actually a liability for the bank: we cost them money! Why encourage deposits when you can cream profits off the top on derivatives and from the shadow banking system?

Geoengineering Goes Mainstream

Well, by that I mean that the MSM is finally mentioning it. This typically blurred article, which of course mentions 'conspiracy theorists' and lots of mumbo-jumbo, is still important in that it is starting the debate.

http://www.independent.co.uk/environment/green-living/lets-play-god-the-scientific-experiments-that-might-save-the-world-or-destroy-it-8884386.html

My hunch is that the people who have been geoengineering the climate for decades now are attempting to gain acceptance of it. You'd have to be an idiot these days not to notice it going on in the skies right above you, but it seems  no-one looks up any more.

FWIW, I do not think these experiments are benign.

The Sixth Stage of Collapse

Monsanto and Argentina

Not a terribly informative article, but you get the general idea:

http://rt.com/news/monsanto-argentina-health-problems-484/

Note the comment about an increase in thyroid disorders - just like where I live. Personally, I'm convinced a lot of these health problems come from geoengineering.

QE, Neofeudalism and Privatisation

Here's Michael Hudson, explaining economics very clearly:

http://www.extraenvironmentalist.com/2013/10/16/episode-67-bubble/

I think there are some economists who will be wanting to hide their faces for not seeing this present situation coming. It has been 'the Emperor's Clothes' all over again, and very clear from some distance, but not, I suppose, if you're up too close?

Karen Hudes, Bitcoin and the Rule of Law

Lawyer Karen Hudes is all over the alternative media at the moment, with her story. Here are two of her most recent interviews:

And here she is at the Bitcoin conference:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCO9QJWJLiI

A lot of people are not going to want to believe this, but that doesn't really matter. Que sera, sera!

Investigative Journalism

The title of the blog post seems to be synonymous with 'conspiracy theory' lately, with anyone saying anything outside of what the MSM tells you being labelled the latter. Being over 50, however, means that I remember when journalists used to dig up the dirt and expose criminality, corruption and malfeasance. Now this is no longer possible, under pain of sanctions, loss of job and livelihood, or at the very least, the approbation of your friends and colleagues.

Despite all of this, some of us bloggers out there have continued to look under the carpet, beyond the falsehoods and through the facade, to try to understand the true nature of events unfolding around us. To this end, I recently posted on the Max Keiser web-site, where I am a regular visitor. As is often the case, the comments section is full of interesting, stimulating and sometimes shocking information, often posted by 'Joe 6-pack' who invariably lives out in the woods, like me. Here I have been able to glean a lot of information about life on the ground for average people - whether it be in the US, UK, Europe, Asia, etc. So, I think that I have quite a good feel for BS when I read it, for facts, or for bluff. It's a long and frustrating road to follow, but some of us prefer it to receiving our already-chewed and spat-out news from some dippy talking head sitting on a sofa with a low-cut top.

Copies of my original posts on the Max Keiser link, regarding the fact that China has just bought the building in New York which houses JPMorgan's gold vaults, seem impossible to cut-and-paste below (which is a pity, as there was lots of jucy info!) but basically it boiled down to the same crony-capitalism: The Company which just bought N°1 Chase-Manhatten Plaza was a Chinese Company called 'FOSUN'. I looked up their history, and (surprise, surprise!) they had given many press conferences and presentations with all the major Western banks (all the bad guys) as well as having dealings in the past with the Carlyle Group (lots about them on the web, mostly bad) and Prudential Insurance (lots on them, too!). After a few hours of research and a couple of postings, the only comment I got in return was:

"Lot of trolls here...".

Which means that what I posted must have been pretty near-the-knuckle: they prefer to denigrate you than to argue or deny what you have said. I consider this a (small) victory, but the worrying consequences are that the media (even, now, the alternative media) is saying that China is buying up the West, and dumping the dollar, whereas the truth is, in fact, that China is actually 'China', a Corporation like all the others, managed behind the scenes by the same corrupt oligarchs that still run the West, but they are crashing the West and moving East. These are the same people who are buying all of the gold in the West, shipping it East, and who will bring in the new global gold-backed currency.

This is not going to end well.

FOSUN just purchased J Morgan’s Chase Plaza. Here is a list of Corporate events and patrners they’ve been involved with over the last few years:

‘Carlyle was able to complete an IPO of United Defense on the New York Stock Exchange in December 2001 selling a significant portion of its interest in the company. Carlyle completed a sale of its remaining United Defense stock and exited the investment in April 2004.[18] In more recent years, Carlyle has deemphasized its focus on defense industry investments.[19]
Carlyle’s 2001 investor conference took place on September 11, 2001. In the weeks following the meeting, it was reported that a member of the Bin Laden family had been in attendance and that they were investors in Carlyle managed funds.[20] Later reports confirmed that the Bin Laden family had invested $2 million into Carlyle’s $1.3 billion Carlyle Partners II Fund in 1995, making the family relatively small investors with the firm.[21] These connections would later be profiled in Michael Moore’s Fahrenheit 911. The Bin Laden family liquidated its holdings in Carlyle’s funds in October 2001.[22′

Shadowstats

A lot of us know that most figures produced by all Governements are ficticious to the point of ridiculousness. The US Government is no different, but luckily for us, someone who was trained in accounting procedures took up where the Government left off, and has kept track of the real Government statistics. His name is John Williams, and here he lays it all out very clearly about the bleak future for the US:

 http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=wF3kS0yx-dI

He says a similar thing to Jim Willie, about the dollars coming home to roost. Here's his website:

Deamericanization

Debt Default? Martial Law in US?

Here's Ellen Brown's blog, and her latest article is getting people talking - she wonders whether the DHS is preparing for the big collapse. Here's her article:

http://ellenbrown.com/

And here Charlie McGrath discusses it too:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRvWyFc6h2U#t=251

Three major events are going to happen on 17th October - the debt ceiling dead-line, and two Government drills (which anyone who has been paying attention knows is when most 'false flag' operations happen).

A final take on the same subject:

http://www.shtfplan.com/headline-news/mcgrath-somebody-in-government-is-afraid-of-what-is-coming-video_10092013

Certainly this US Government shut-down would offer someone with long-held ulterior motives the ideal opportunity to implement them. Blame could then be spread around - 'It was the Government shut-down' 'It was the Republicans!' 'It was North Korea' It was Iran' 'It was Mickie Mouse.....'

Couldn't get more ridiculously obvious than it is today that all is not what it appears to be.

Debt-Free Money or Interest-Free Credit?

That is the question:

China and ECB Sign Yuan Swap Agreement

The latest in a long line of countries (except that this is the whole EU!) to sign deals on trade with China, thereby bypassing the US dollar:

http://thebricspost.com/china-eu-sign-57bn-currency-swap-agreement/#.UlbzylOwNSr

Not long now before the dollar falls. But did it fall or was it pushed? And cui bono? Despite extensive research, I`ve still not been able to discover whether this is really the BRICS nations holding the US to account for its prolific tendencies with the QE to infinity programme, or whether it`s all part of the decade-long plan to bring in a global currency by the back-door, by deliberately collapsing the world`s largest economy. I`m not popping the Champagne yet, shall we say!

This, however, is quite illuminating:

 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_Euro_Payments_Area

Maybe that`s why Jim Sinclair advocates GOTS, gold and the Euro?

And here`s some pretty unequivocal talk, from China on a global currency:

Geoengineering

In a very sinister move (given the widespread and unacknowledged geoengineering taking place around the world) Monsanto have just bought the Climate Corporation, a large weather data-gathering Company:

Couldn`t be that they want to manipulate the data, could it?

Hitler's Banker

Here Bill Still gives the low-down on information about how Germany was able to re-build so quickly after WWI. Pretty obvious really, but now we have proof: yes, it was the debt-based model all over again:

It's only a matter of time now until the banking system collapses.

Gold Backwardation

Here's Karen Hudes again, thankfully getting around and telling her story. The last time gold was in backwardisation was in 1970 - just before the US came off the gold-standard under Nixon. She says the coming economic collapse will make others in the past pale by comparison:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58ayjFKRQ2A&feature=c4-overview&list=UUG-G8LLr38fQUNZU8K0t-EA

It's not 'if' the banking system goes under, but 'when'. Personally I think this has been brought about deliberately as part of a long-held agenda, but when it collapses it will be made to look like it was just because of QE to infinity, war, bad policy decisions, etc. Then we'll have a few months of unimaginable hell, then the new (already designed) global banking system, but this time it will be on your mobile 'phone, with no High Street branches - 100% digital.

Tax Wall Street

What an original idea!

Randy Credico is running for Mayor in New York on a platform of tax Wall Street. As a result his name has been left off the ballot, the media have shunned him and you have to seek him out to vote for him. Despite all of this, he did extremely well in the recent by-elections and has qualified for the ballot for the November 5 elections:

Webster Tarpley's Weekly Geopolitical Round-Up

Excellent summary by M Tarpley, including the interesting snippet on Zbigniew Brzezinski that the US's influence in the Middle East is ending (minute 20). This whole US/Russia confrontation is looking more and more to me like theatre, and following a long-held agenda. These comments by M Brzezinski, where he even hints at a solution between Palestine and Israel, seem to confirm this:

http://tarpley.net/world-crisis-radio/

I had a LOL moment when he describes Charlie Rose as taking "this narrow provincialoid hysterical irrational subjectivist Washington line". Great stuff!

The Brutality of Reality

Apparently Bart Chilton, of the CFTC, is about to get real with some of the 100s of cases under investigtion for banking fraud.

Here's a speech he made recently (with a lot of waffle) about how the CFTC is going to press ahead with charges before the end of September:

Who Really Runs The World?

Here is the report that Karen Hudes mentions often. I'm sure I posted it when it first came out, in 2011, but here it is again, published by the Federal Institute of  Technology in Zurich:

http://arxiv.org/PS_cache/arxiv/pdf/1107/1107.5728v2.pdf

Perhaps it will start to sink in to some people that they have been 'duped' as Ms Hudes says, and they will start to educate themselves. Here's an article discussing the implications:

Scroll down to the list at the bottom to reveal all the same old criminal enterprises.

Syria

Lots of fantastic investigative reporting coming out about this push to war in Syria, including background information which proves that the US and UK Governments knew that this chemical-weapons' event would happen. No surprise to people who have been following geopolitical events for the last few decades, but possibly quite shocking to people who have faith in the BBC.

Here are three in-depth studies of what's really going on:

Open Letter to David Cameron

Dear Mr Cameron,

I hope you and your family are well ? I trust you are well rested after the holidays ? I am writing to you to express a few thoughts. Here they are, in no particular order :

• How dare you send members of my family to a war based on very dodgy 'evidence' ;
• How dare you agree with your trans-Atlantic consort to send white, black, hispanic and other young poor Americans to such a war, when they only joined up because they were offered College tuition fees and a job ;
• How dare you try to force through this vote in the Summer recess ;
• How dare you conflate it with the badger cull, in a feeble attempt to distract national attention;
• How dare you try to confuse us all with puerile propaganda and white noise, with a television in every public orifice ;
• How dare you pretend to be leading a country, when we know you are beholden to the military industrial complex and the bankers ;

You see, you thought we were 'under control'. You thought we were ill-educated, over-fed, under-funded and medicated. You thought that we were not paying attention. Heaven knows you tried hard enough to feed us with distractions that encouraged base and immoral behaviour, that lionised death with skulls and blood, encouraging mob behaviour and discouraging critical thinking.

Your problem now lies in the fact that, despite all of that, we were actually paying attention. We knew that the TBTF banks were held afloat by laundered drugs money. We knew that the various and increasingly frequent political and economic scandals are just the tip of the iceberg : LIBOR ; MF Global ; Jimmy Saville (and friends...) ; NSA & GCHQ ; Iraq ; Afghanistan ; Libya ; etc. We were paying attention and we were learning all the time. You underestimated us.

And now you try to sell us another conflict which will kill members of our families, which will kill innocent men, women and children abroad, which will enrich your cronies in the Arms Industry and the Chemical Weapons Industry. Which will enrich the bankers by impoverishing the country even more, increasing the debt and accruing more interest. which must be paid back out of social security and pension budgets. For the bankers must be paid back - they went to all of the effort of clicking on a computer screen – not even needing the expense of paper, ink and a printer any more. Oh to be a banker ! Which Greek island to buy now ?

Yours sincerely,

Syria and Saudi Arabia

Getting nearer to the truth all the time:

Hungary

Here Bill Still explains how Hungary has just paid off and kicked out the IMF:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=gpQs_khGgOM#t=53

The double-speak of the Banksters is breathtaking.

Syria and Israel

You would have had to be asleep for the last two decades if you didn't realise that Israel (or more precisely the Zionists) run the US and the UK. If you don't believe me, then DYODD! They've made strong in-roads into France, too, hence Hollande's support for this Syrian venture. Quelle honte!

Here the well-respected Argentinian political analyst, Adrian Salbuchi, points out that Israel has managed to get what it wants by proxy, for decades:


http://rt.com/op-edge/istael-syria-attack-crisis-251/

So you have to ask yourself how? Or why? How can this influence be so strong, or complete? Could it be that the whole global banking system is run by the same people, who are able to get what they want by threatening to crash the whole system?

It's coming down anyway, but recently there is a beacon of hope and light on the horizon, in the form of the 'Eastern Alliance', as referred to by Jim Willie. Even I am beginning to think that these Banksters couldn't have planned it all this well, and that they are no longer in the driving seat, although I remain fearful of the Hegelian dialectic of the Protocols.

However add Karen Hudes and her team, an awakening global populace and the pipeline politics of energy consumption, and you have a world which can do a volte face in very short order. Difficult to believe that the Zionists could have been out-witted by other global actors, but let's hope it is the case, and check-mate can be declared at the G20.

For the moment, I'm backing Russia and China, and of course it's got nothing to do with Communism, nor, for the record, with a knee-jerk illogical accusation of anti-semitism.I have Jewish friends who point the finger at the Zionists, too.

G20

This is what Obama and his handlers are afraid of:

http://www.g20.org/docs/g20_russia/priorities.html

See point 3: 'International Financial Architecture Reform'.

False Flag Possibility

Luckily we have the alternative media on the internet to call out this BS by the US and UK Governments. Many of the blogs that I listen to are saying the next step for the war-mongers is a huge false-flag event. Obama hasn't got his way so far, but no problem, they have Plan B. A huge - possibly nuclear - false-flag event on Amercian soil will enable Obama to act against Syria (and Iran) alone.

The timing is very clear: at the G20 Summit in Moscow in September they are going to discuss an alternative to the US Dollar as reserve currency, which will mean immediate third-world status to the USA as it sinks under the weight of its own debt and suffers hyperinflation.

Here is a good summary of today's situation, Episode 151:

http://x22report.com/

Obama Isolated

I haven't mentioned Webster Tarpley for a while, but I listen to his radio broadcast every week, and here he gives a detailed account of the sentiments of Western countries on the invasion of Syria. Some very interesting information, all going to confirm what Karen Hudes has been saying, happily. Of course Obama could still be threatened with his 'Kennedy moment', and go it alone in Syria, but when you read that even Cyprus has now done a deal with Russia to refuse that 'planes take off from there to attack Syria, you realise that even if the US does carry out 'limited' bombing attacks on Syria, they will be shown up for the war-mongerers that they are, carrying out the Banksters' orders:

http://tarpley.net/world-crisis-radio/

I'm hoping the British Government will resign, but that's probably asking too much from people with no conscience.

Fracking

http://rt.com/op-edge/fracking-radioactive-uranium-danger-ecology-057/

Gazprom

Pipeline politics. Here Jim Willie lays out the geopolitics behind the Syria 'conflict'. Syria has a Mediterranean sea-port and Russia needs access to that for the export of its gas to Europe. So as he says, maybe a phone call was made to the UK Parliament from the Kremlin, asking whether they'd like some gas for this winter? Lo! UK pulls out of the Syria venture. This ties in with the fracking in UK too, as a desperate attempt to find a way to have energy independence, which will never work.

http://www.tfmetalsreport.com/podcast/5015/holiday-tradition-fresh-jackass

What worries me in all of this is what will happen to the Palestinians? Will Russia support their human rights? I doubt it, somehow.

Syria and the Eclipsing of OPEC

A very important article by Jim Willlie, which confirms my last post:

http://www.silverdoctors.com/jim-willie-syria-pipeline-politics-opec-the-usdollar/

Huge changes on the horizon.

Syria and Pipelines

The real reason behind much of the violence on the world stage recently is about the mad scramble for the last of the world's resources. I cannot remember who coined the phrase 'pipelineistan', but it neatly sums up the truth behind a lot of global conflict. Here is an interesting analysis of the Syrian conflict, that sees Russia and US head-to-head over gas pipelines and energy issues. This is corroborated by Jim Willie, who is often proven correct in time:

 http://www.silverdoctors.com/why-sryia-its-not-what-you-think-its-not-what-youve-been-told/#more-31244

Fixing the World - Karen Hudes

Karen Hudes, apparently coming from no-where, but in reality a World-Bank whistleblower of long-standing, here gives a simplified version of the activities of the central planners, over the last 100 years. She doesn't, however, call them Central Planners, she calls them 'thugs':

He's on fire here and it's a must-listen interview! Go Bill!

The Macro-Economic and Geo-Political Overview

To fill out the wider macro-economic picture, Jim Willie expands on what Greg Mannarino mentions: that the US' Achilles Heel is its economy:

http://www.goldseek.com/tools/print.php

Looks like CAF was wrong then! She said as the US has the most powerful military in history, that it's hegemony was assured. But this is a giant chess game, and the Russians are very good at chess, whilst the Chinese are very good at patience.

War Imminent

It was always about resources and fundamentals. It was amazing that the Banksters managed to keep the illusion going for so long.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Te5Me8wdWrc

This is why Putin has threatened to strike Saudi Arabia if the Anglo-American Empire attacks Syria - oil is the Achilles Heel of the US economy.

NB I do not agree with Greg on two fronts: that Syria is a civil war, and that the Banksters would not want to see the US economy implode. They just moved base, as I've mentioned before. I suspect Greg knows this, but is protecting his back.

Syria

Banksters caught with hands in the till try to take the world to war:

Total Economic Return

By Catherine Austin Fitts. It makes perfect sense:

http://solari.com/blog/investor-return-network-return-total-economic-return/

Held Hostage by Progress

'As the civil religion of progress begins to lose its grip on the collective imagination of our time, in turn, both science and religion thus will have to undergo a difficult process of reappraisal, in which many of the mistaken commitments of recent decades will need to be renegotiated or simply abandoned. Harrowing as that process may be, it may just have an unexpected benefit—a negotiated truce in the pointless struggle between science and religion, or even a creative rapprochement between these two distinct and complementary ways of relating to the universe.'

A Frightening and Historic Financial Holocaust

Even Medvedev has advised all Russians to get their money out of Western banks, apparently! This short interview echoes what Greg Mannarino has been saying:

http://kingworldnews.com/kingworldnews/KWN_DailyWeb/Entries/2013/8/12_World_To_Witness_A_Frightening_%26_Historic_Financial_Holocaust.html

NATO Bases are Drug-Running Bases

I worked this out myself a few years ago (in Italy) but it has been confirmed time and time again with various news stories that don't add up. The main problem with people in the West believing it is the deeply-embedded racism that won't allow them to believe it.

For most people, especially those who have been fed the drip-drip-drip of corporate propaganda (hey, why do they put TVs everywhere??) it is inconceivable that Western white people can organise, perpetrate and carry-out heinous crimes, as indeed they do. It is inconceivable that all of the money flowing into rural areas and renovating historic buildings in Western Europe is hot money, derived from the misery of people in other parts of the world, facilitated by people-traffickers, drug-pushers, paedophiles and common criminals.

This is the bottom line: the white, Western so-called élites are up to their necks in rotton, corrupt, illegal, stomach-churning, jaw-dropping activities, and have been so for hundreds of years. NATO are the bad guys. Drugs-trafficking is what is propping the whole system up, enforced by the goons in security suits. The whole charade at airports is there to enforce the illusion that we are fighting an enemy who is brown-skinned, out there and after us.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

Fracking is a Ponzi Scheme

A licence for fracking has been granted to a small rural village (Balcombe) near my home-town in the UK. Here Jim Willie, well into his explanation of the geopolitical arena (which is fascinating in itself!), he talks about Halliburton, the Gulf of Mexico distaster and the chemicals which you need to do fracking. Surprise! There is a monopoly on ownership of the chemicals, and it's Halliburton who hold the rights. (from minute 40.00, where he talks about net energy, monopolies, land-contracts, and Obama):

Dollar as Reserve Currency Up-Date

The BRICSA, led by China and Russia, are advancing in their plans to end this dreadful unipolarity that we have at the moment. As China said in 2009:

Gold in Motion

It's worth listening to Jim Willie and trying to get your head around what he's explaining, as he really is the only one out there collating all of this information and passing it on to us in summarised form. His contacts together with his statistician's brain make him a valuable source of financial, economic and political data. The 'gold in motion' refers to the GLD fund, which is, in fact, just bits of paper:

Russia's Sunburn Missile

Which can apparently take out the US's cruise missile, which is why we haven't had a war with Iran. This and a thousand other nuggets of information in this fascinating interview with Jim Willie: 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpGal69RwUo&feature=c4-overview&list=UUG-G8LLr38fQUNZU8K0t-EA

I don't think he agrees with CAF, who thinks the US still has military superiority and therefore financial superiority. A battle of the titans, if ever there was one!

Complacency

In past times when I used to try to talk of  banal subjects such as energy use, resources and Governments, the emotion I most frequently encountered was complacency, followed by ridicule, especially by the middle classes.

Being solidly working class, I believe I have some sort of 'muscle-memory' of previous periods of being used and abused by the Power-that-be - like all of history, for example.

Unfortunately I think the complacency of the middle classes will be their downfall - they will not realise that their hard-earned assets are going to go up in smoke, very soon, and that they should have done something earlier to safe-guard themselves and their wealth. The main problem, it seems to me, is they trust their Governments.

I wonder why?

This post also contains a reference about all debt being forgiven. It’s coming, folks. The new financial system is taking shape in silence and at the perfect time, will almost seamlessly morph into our new, fair, monetary system as a “Financial Reset”. The banksters—everywhere— are going down.

Be aware, be prepared, and don’t panic. It’s been planned for decades. Life is just about to get very, very good. This is a game-changer.

Breakaway Civilizations and Black Budgets

"The reality is those sovereign nations are not in control and not running things. Now, because they’ve large budgets and may have large operational capacity they’re very important and very influential, but I don’t think the United States’ people elect and control the United States Government or that the United States Government is in control of North America. I think the government system at best is murky and in my experience certainly working as a government official, decisions were made outside of government and relayed into the government as to what the decisions would be. The government works for the “shadow government.”

Just as I've thought for some while now -  national sovereignty is over, and has been for some while. We're in the vortex now. WW

Waking Up

“We’re in a very, very fragile financial system right now. We have most Western governments buying their bonds, which is total financial insanity. We have zero interest rates which is total financial insanity and even with this, we can hardly get the economies to recover. What’s going to happen to those governments is the same thing that happened to Detroit…It’s so cast in stone. It’s amazing that we all ignore it.”

EROI - All Over Again

I've been away a while but keeping my ear to the ground. All you need to know to get up to speed, however, is encapsulated into this 24-minute interview, where he explains in the clearest terms the inevitability of the crash of the present fiat-backed currency system:

Geoengineering

Or 'persistent contrails' as they are called at this symposium:

Do you believe me or your lying eyes? FWIW, this is why the European weather has been abysmal this summer, with at least 20% less sunlight reaching the earth (and preventing photosynthesis) - Solar Radiation Management, which you can see from this wiki definition is "largely theoretical":

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_radiation_management

Meaning, of course, that they're doing it now, above your heads. Is this what they're scared of, Solar cycle 24?:

Geoengineering explained:

 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2x6TEeknfo&feature=player_embedded

And here's a quote giving away what they're actually doing, in a dreadful article in a pseudo-'scientific' journal:

 "Slightly less dramatic, and more feasible, are schemes that would spray aerosols, or tiny particles, high in the atmosphere.

These aerosol plans are based on nature. Volcanic eruptions spew sulfur dioxide gas high into the atmosphere, which combine with water vapor and form light-reflecting particles. Just like the theoretical space shields, these particles keep Earth cool.

A variety of methods could be used to get these aerosols into the atmosphere, from spraying them out of airplanes to one plan that would use a balloon tethered by a 12.4-mile-long (20 km) hose pumping the particles into the stratosphere."

(my bold highlights - this is what they are doing, now)

European Bail-Ins Agreed

'On Thursday, EU finance ministers agreed to a shocking new plan that will make every bank account in Europe vulnerable to Cyprus-style bail-ins.  In other words, the wealth confiscation that we just witnessed in Cyprus will now be used as a template for future bank failures all over Europe. '

The Rise of New Fascism

I first used the 'F' word in relation to the USA when Bush was handed the 2004 elections. Friends scoffed and said I didn't understand the meaning of fascism. I did, and here we are nearly ten years later, and it's finally being called what it is. It's here, now. The trouble is, most people cannot recognise it. Luckily John Pilger can:

Obama is a Fraud

As my gut told me when he was elected with all of the hoo-ha of a messiah. He's a fake, and here's a Professor of Columbia University (where Obama allegedly went) saying so:

Major Stock Market Crash Dead Ahead

We`re shouting at the tops of our lungs, but is anyone listening? The next great crash will, of course, go down in history as a consequence of the next great war - whereas the truth is exactly the reverse - Obama went to war with Russia precisely because he (and his Wall Street handlers) was being found out and this financial Ponzi scheme was coming unwound. We are lions led by donkeys, except that donkeys have a lot more sense than these greedy central-planners:

Imminent Plunge

Corroborating what Jim Willie has been saying for some while, here the GEAB lays out the next geopolitical moves. Any news you hear that the financial crisis is over is pure propaganda. May they rot in hell for not forewarning the ordinary people of the tsunami that is about to engulf the world.

Communities That Abide

Here is an interview with Dmitri Orlov, about his new book 'The Five Stages of Collapse'. They are:

* Financial
* Commercial
* Political
* Social
* Cultural

Here's the link:

http://c-realm.com/podcasts/crealm/365-communities-that-abide/

(Skip to 06:20 to hear the beginning of the interview).

He uses the term 'highly resilient communities'. Ask yourself, is that what we've got?

Thought for the Day

Oftentimes I feel that we, as a species, are too self-congratulatory. Did we, for example, invent butterflies? Did we invent fig trees or tadpoles? Did we invent the sunrise and the sunset, and everything in between?

For us to have a correct sense of perspective about our true place on this planet, we need a sharp dose of humility, topped off with a removal of rose-tinted spectacles which have been telling us, for some decades now, that we are masters of the universe and are able to create at will. This arrogance has led us to believe that whatever damage we do the the ecosystem, we can fix.

I know people today - decent people - who don't feel that the environment is a priority. So what is a priority? Other humans? Yes! The fight for our rights? Yes!  Freedom and democracy, and above all liberty from serfdom? Yes! But is it not just a little bit important, that we save the planet from ourselves, first?

Otherwise, where would we live?

Unchartered Territory

The Las Vegas trader, Greg Mannarino, tries his best to educate the 'masses', that the whole fiat-backed debt-based system is fake, and actually died in 2008. It's been kept alive since then by QE to infinity, which cannot end (or 'be tapered' to use the Fed's jargon) until the whole system implodes. Collapse is happening now:

Bail-Ins

A must-read on bank confiscation of your savings:

http://www.zerohedge.com/contributed/2013-05-15/no-bank-deposits-will-be-spared-confiscation

Crucial paragraph:
 

'You may recover some of your money if your deposit is covered by an insurance scheme as referred to earlier but in a fixed amount. But, there is a catch here. Most insurance schemes whether backed by the government or not do not have sufficient monies to cover all the deposits in the banking system.

So, in the worst case scenario – a systemic collapse, there is no way for you to get your money back'.
