Well, looks like they're achieving their long-held dream, and most people don't know or don't care.

Retaining Cognitive Liberty

A very timely and thoughtful piece by James Corbett:

http://www.corbettreport.com/episode-290-the-enemy-of-my-enemy/

In short, keep an open mind and keep asking yourself: "cui bono". For well over 100 years there has only been one answer: the Bankers and the Castle-Dwellers.

The London Fix

Here's a fascinating round-table discussion about the London gold-fix - which really is a fix - and the situation in Ukraine:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnDGNxKb0Q4

As Alastair says, Russia holds all the cards. It really is embarassing to hear Obama and Cameron strutting around like bullies, who are soon going to get their just desserts.

Unless they're all working together, of course, for a certain outcome, but I can't credit them with enough intelligence for that! The people who pull the strings above them, perhaps.

The New Financial System

From a website I've just discovered, which elucidates like no other blog the coming global financial system, almost ready to go:

Last remaining question, then: bad guys lose or bad guys win?

The Dollar's Waterloo

Here is an article by Jim Willie, prediciting the end of the US Dollar sooner than we thought:

And here's an interview outlining some other interesting snippets, about Russia and China's gold reserves, etc:

Peak Oil - The Politics of Energy

It has been a while since I posted anything on this important topic, which helps to explain a lot of what is going on today. It's all about EROEI! (Energy Returned Over Energy Invested):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWfQuuXQN14

Helps to explain Ukraine, Syria, Iraq, etc. Also, according to Jim Willie, Saudi Arabia have been overestimating their reserves for years, and are now mostly pumping water!

They agree that fracking is insane, and that this is proof, as if we needed it, that we've harvested all the low-hanging fruit and this is the bottom of the barrell.

Of course! Makes perfect sense! Especially as the vast majority haven't got a clue, and he who writes the history books will be able to brush away the traces which led us to this. Theatre, it's all theatre. The world's a stage.

Saudi Gold - Poof, it's Gone!

With major global events happening with increasing speed recently, there are only a few macro-analytical brains who can figure out what is going on. Jim Willie is one of them, and here he rounds up recent events, including a final betrayal by London Bankers of the Saudis, and their gold:

SDRs and the New Bretton Woods

Here's Part One of a multi-part essay on the new financial system which is coming into focus. It ties in with a lot that Jim Willie has been saying, except that I'm not sure the 'bad guys' are going to lose out, as they are very much still at the negotiating table. This author, JC Collins, has also had a run-in with Karen Hudes, whom, after reading the exchanges, I now think is a disinformation agent, and will not post any more of her material.

Fascinating stuff! 2014 is the year of fireworks!

Ukraine

Because history is littered with examples of the illegal overthow of democratically-elected Governments, it becomes very easy to see these so-called 'civil wars' for what they are. Libya, Syria and now Ukraine. This is all part of the larger geopolitical and financial war, and is at a very dangerous stage. It is also in a large part to do with energy issues, of course.

In this week's 'News from the Nefarium' (20.2.14) there is a great analysis from Prof J Farrell:

http://gizadeathstar.com/

And here is another analysis, pointing to an attempted coup by the US:

http://dandelionsalad.wordpress.com/2014/02/20/rick-rozoff-sick-fascist-filth-gangland-violence-as-political-opposition-in-ukraine/

Of course the complicit Western media is painting a very different story, which most people will (want to) believe.

Fascism - How it happened

Jim Willie hits it out of the ball-park with this latest piece. He joins the dots for all those unable or unwilling to do so, pointing clearly to criminal minds at work with long-term plans. The Global Currency Reset is coming, whether we like it or not, and even JW hints that it was done deliberately. So he agrees with Bix Wier, except that BW calls them 'the Good Guys':

Snippet: London Nazi bankers are stealing Saudi's Gold!

The Road to Roota Theory

Or the road to Route 'A':

http://www.roadtoroota.com/public/190.cfm

In other words, a global gold-backed currency system.

Indirect Exchange, Capital Destruction & Cost Structures

Another macroeconomic round-up by my favourite statistician, Jim Willie. He's said most of this before, but he agrees with many other blogs that I read, that this is the year for change. He talks about splitting the dollar, and this ties in with something I read quite a while ago about Bank Managers in the US being told to make room in their vaults for new Dollars, with gold writing on them.

Bix Wier also talks about this, although his viewpoint is diametrically opposed to Jim Willie's:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dz_4fBtxyJI

Here's a short video about the new Dollar, which you can see has already beenprinted and has gold images all over it:

http://www.dailypaul.com/300508/new-gold-backed-100-dollar-bill-coming-from-fed-in-october

This all seems very well-thought out to me, and I agree with Bix Wier that it was the Federal Reserve themselves (Chicago Branch, I think) released some intruiging comic books, entitled 'The Road to RootA', and he says the Fed have been planning this for decades, starting with Alan Greenspan creating some derivative computer programmes.

The problem is Jim Willie, who is no fool, says that the BRICS, led by Russia and China, are forcing the Fed to accept rotten dollars and that they have, in fact, been bought by China, and will have to create a Dollar which can be used within the US, which he calls the 'shit' Dollar. He makes perfect sense when he talks about energy issues and pipelines, about the embargo on Iran starting this move away from the Dollar, about Russia getting fed up with US agression and stopping the war with Syria.

Both (contradictory) theories seem credible to me, and again I cannot decide which is more likely. Although I love to hear JW talk of a 'Sheriff from the East' coming to destroy the Fed and its war machine, I can't help wondering why the Fed issued these comics and are pursuing QE to infinity, which is bringing about the end of the Fed anyway. My money, for the moment, will have to be with BW.

NB Catherine Austin Fitts and Prof J Farrell both talk about the 'breakaway civilization', i.e. the élites who have new and advanced technologies that remain secret and who run the black budgets. CAF says that it is these people who are buying up all the idle manufacturing plants that JW talks about. CAF says that the 'breakaway civilisation' want the assets without the unfunded liabilities, and have nearly cleared all of the toxic debt through the Fed. She seems credible too....

Help!

Bioprinting and Fungible Gold

A Revolution is on its way, and it won't be what you think! Here James Dines talks about progress in the world of 3D printing, which will revolutionise the world of trade and commerce. Fascinating stuff:

http://kingworldnews.com/kingworldnews/Broadcast/Entries/2014/1/26_James_Dines.html

NB I don't agree with him about the global war between different factions of Islam: he is either believing propaganda or he's a Crusader! Not sure which. Maybe he's a friend of Ray Kurzweil, who loves new technologies but doesn't much like people?

Syria

One of the things that has most dismayed and disgusted me over the last decade or so has been the inability of intelligent and educated people to see beyond the rhetoric and propaganda that Western Nations put out, when pursuing an obvious (to me) imperialist agenda.

It's as if these people actually don't want to know or see the truth, they seem to want to believe the (deeply racist) Western propaganda. We export democracy by dropping bombs, increasing our GDP and slipping into detroyed Countries to steal their resources on the cheap. NATO is a terrorist organisation.

The Syrian situation is a case in point, but this goes back years, from oil and mineral-rich Countries in Africa, to other imperial adventures going back a couple of hundred years. In Libya we wanted the oil, the gas and the gold, in Iraq we wanted the oil, in Congo we want the minerals, in Sudan we want the oil, in Nigeria we want their oil, in Mali we want the gold, and on and on and on and on....In Syria it's about gas pipelines, coming from Iran and Russia.

Thank goodness for the few remaining investigative journalists who continue to operate on the internet, despite harassement, ridicule and sometimes worse. Webster Tarpley is a historian of great note, with a broad and deep historical perspective, which allows him to see through the smoke and mirrors.

This week (25.1.14) he starts his weekly two-hour geopolitical round-up by talking about Syria, and the truth rings out clearly. He recommends us to read in full the speech of the Syrian Foreign Minister, Walid Moallem, at the Geneva 2 talks this week (the complete speech is also on his website). As he says, the speech is dignified and full of accusations of support from the West for the so-called 'Syrian Rebels' (paid mercenaries, in fact) who have brought this once beautiful Country to its knees. For this reason Ban Ki-Moon tried to stop him speaking, but it will go down in history as a great anti-imperialist speech:

What we are looking at, and have been looking for some time, is quite clearly Colonial Democracy, the excellent title of the  Palestinian academic's book, Nassar Ibrahim. I was lucky enough to get to ask him a question when he gave us a lecture in Bethlehem, in November last year.

US Real Estate Market

Here's a real-estate expert, telling it exactly how it is: Hedge Funds are buying real-estate with cheap/free money borrowed from the FED, then they'll do a classic 'pump-and-dump' scheme and sell them on, overpriced, to people who will be able to get a Bank loan without any downpayment in a 'no questions asked' mortgage application, in a repeat of the Subprime scandal. The Hedge funds make millions whilst selling over-priced assets to people who think this is their last chance to get on the housing ladder.

What will happen next is that the market will crash, and people will (once again) find themselves underwater (with their house being worth less than they paid for it) and/or interest rates going up, which means they can no longer afford to live there. Then the big fish move in again, buy the repossessed homes on the cheap (again) and away we go:

Continuing Trade Outside of the Dollar

There does indeed seem to be a quickening pace to these international trade deals being cemented using currencies other than the present Reserve Currency, the US Dollar. Here there`s a deal between Russia and Iran, where they will swap oil for goods - Iran`s oil for Russian goods, thereby avoiding the Dollar:

http://www.testosteronepit.com/home/2014/1/15/iran-russia-ruffle-us-feathers-with-oil-swap-deal.html

So, it seems there is a global move to sink the Dollar, I just worry about who is behind it. It`s too trite to say the BRICS, too simplistic and too anachronistic to talk of Nation States as if they had any autonomy these days. They don`t, and I`m unfortunately convinced that the corruption is global and at the top. I hope I`m wrong, of course.

Solutions to Global Financial Crisis

I have a few doubts about Jim Willie`s conclusions, not least of all regarding the Fed. The Fed issued the `Road to Rout A` booklets and Bix Wier says they are deliberately enacting QE to infinity in order to crash the dollar - i.e. it`s all going according to plan, and the Global Currency Reset is the planned outcome. This seems much more logical, given recent events, than JW`s assertion that the Fed are incompetents presiding over a catastrophe, especially given who has just been made the Asst Chief at the Fed, an Israeli National. Still, we have to live in hope that there is a `Sheriff from the East`, and here is JW`s latest article in which he lists solutions which could help us out of this mess, but which are, of course, not being considered:

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

H.A.A.R.P.

At first sight this looks like good news, but as Prof J Farrell points out, it could just be a way of privatising a very useful `asset` in a fire-sale, and thereby hide any information which might otherwise have to be made public:

Germany`s Gold Repatriation Request

Lots of news on this topic at the moment. Here`s an interesting interview with Ned Naylor-Leyland, in which they talk about Germany getting - so far - a tiny proportion of their 700 tons back, and what they did get wasn`t what they had deposited:

Obamacare

This doesn't concern Europeans so it has received very little attention this side of the Pond, except for the MSM comparing it to the UK's NHS. Nothing could be further from the truth, and here Dr Paul Craig Roberts spells it out, amongst other interesting topics like the US deficit, the sale of bullion to the East, and the dollar dropping:

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

Again, Jim Willie has also been predicting increased QE, not tapering.

The Super Entity

This is the Report often referenced by Karen Hudes when she talks about the attempt to control the world by a small group of people. This Study shows that over 60% of all global profits go back to this same group, who hide behind an opaque plethora of Corporations and Institutes.

They have a revolving-door policy on the Boards, so in fact, ultimately, it seems quite easy to have a small group of people (families) controlling where the wealth goes. It almost goes without saying that they are so powerful that they can easily influence Governments, through the power structure (old boys' network), through bribery and/or corruption or through good old-fashioned violence.

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

I believe the truth will come out soon enough, but it could prove to be a phyrric victory because by then they may well have bought and paid for everything on the planet,using their fiat currencies just before they go out of fashion,  thereby becoming what George Carlin calls' The Owners'. We're not far off now, and if they succeed we'd better all re-learn how to be a good serf.

Bitcoin Derivatives

Being toted as an alternative to the Central Bank Cartel, Bitcoin is certainly making some people look more closely at our global system of trade and commerce. One of those big brains is Reggie Middleton, who has just created Bitcoin derivatives:

A fascinating (undated) note from Professor Antal Fekete, which predicts the end of the dollar, widespread disruption and famine:

The Banksters will take us to war to hide their crimes, as they have done so many times before.

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.

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!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gssxv35TA-8

BRICSA Lay New Internet Cable

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

http://gizadeathstar.com/2013/10/news-views-from-nefarium-2013/

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.

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

As the article says, there is an acceleration happening, and it's pretty difficult to keep up with events. But here is the GEAB's up-date on the events of the second half of 2013:

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?

Geoengineering

A recent article in UK's Daily Mail has brought this topic into the MSM for the first time, although they talked about 'planned' geoengineering, whereas those of us who have been following this dangerous phenomenon know that it has been practiced for at least the last five years, probably much longer:

http://www.geoengineeringwatch.org/global-cooling-or-global-warming-which-is-it/

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?
