More Obamaville camps are appearing beyond downtown L.A.’s skid row

by Gale Holland, LA Times:
Evicted four months ago from their Highland Park apartment, Louis Morales and his 18-year-old stepson, Arthur Valenzuela, live half-hidden by brush along the nearby Arroyo Seco riverbed.
Morales, 49, keeps a framed bible verse and a stuffed monkey in his tent. Water hauled by bike from a park heats up on the camp stove.
Next door, their friend Johnny Salazar fixes bikes and shattered computer screens on the cheap for people who live in the neighborhood. A brother and sister Morales has known for years live up the river, and three couples stay down by the bridge.

But don't worry about them...They will soon run to the fill these camps.

Roundups and FEMA Camp Incarcerations Await Millions of Americans

by Dave Hodges, The Common Sense Show:
There are some in the independent media who will tell you that there is no such thing as a FEMA Camp and that only people with tin foil hats believe anything to the contrary. After reading this article, which is the first in a series of articles on FEMA Camps, you will be armed with the knowledge and the legislation which validates the claim that not only FEMA camps are real, they are being prepared for their soon-to-be guests. The only thing that is missing is a catalyst event.
Are you ready for the coming tyrannical crackdown and the complete evisceration of our constitutional liberties? Have you taken the proper precautions that will ensure the safety of you and your family? It is not likely that very many of us have taken any meaningful steps to maximize our chances for survival in what will prove to be humanity’s darkest days. Will it be possible to avoid detection and prevent yourself from being taken into custody and sent to a FEMA Camp?

The Terrorist Is Laughing

from Vigilant Citizen:
The greatest cause for concern in our United States is not Iran, North Korea or radical Islam. It is not our rapidly dissolving borders or China’s emergence as a world power. It is not a threat from some disaffected nutjob with a bag of fertilizer and an axe to grind.
No, our terror began a long time ago. It is a very sophisticated and slow-brewed kind of terrorism that began and thrives in the upper strata of our society. Our Terrorist was not born out of inequality or lack of opportunity. He has never squatted in a cave, stood in line or worried about his next meal.
In our country’s eyes the Terrorist stands like a pillar of society, while he hides in plain sight.

Bill Gates: Get on your knees and beg for your jobs

from Share Everything:
He might not have said it in so many words, though I wish that he had because only that kind of candor can get Americans to wakeup and do what is necessary to survive this stealth and brutal war, calculated to destroy their lives.
Microsoft cofounder Bill Gates isn’t going to sugarcoat things: The increasing power of automation technology is going to put a lot of people out of work. Business Insider reports that Gates gave a talk at the American Enterprise Institute think tank in Washington, DC this week and said that both governments and businesses need to start preparing for a future where lots of people will be put out of work by software and robots.

Hyperinflationary Money Printing: Then And Now

It’s different this time.. and just remember Draghi’s perspective – hyperinflation hasn’t happened yet, so what’s the harm?
from ZeroHedge:

The global central bank balance sheet is even more concerning.
As to the hyperinflation question,
Draghi’s answer is simple: we have now thrown the kitchen sink at the deflation problem and there has been no inflation (he conveniently forgets to mention that the world is now caught in a vicious spiral in which every single central bank is printing money just to export deflation to its peers, with more and more printing necessary each year just to stay in one place). In other words, just because hyperinflation hasn’t materialized so far, it never will.
Or, as Bernanke would say: “Hyperinflation is contained.”

 Greek Exit Polls Suggest Blowout Victory For Syriza: Live Webcasts From Greece

"Out Of My Face Please" - Why Are US Soldiers In Mariupol?

Amid the devastation of yesterday's Mariupol artillery strikes which killed or wounded dozens, an 'odd' clip has emerged that appears to provide all the 'proof' a US intelligence officer would need to surmise that US military boots are on the ground in Ukraine. As the following clip shows, a Ukrainian journalist approaches what she thinks is a Ukrainian soldier (since he is wearing a Ukrainian military uniform and is carrying an AK) and asked him as they run through the battlezone, "tell me, what happened here?" His response, which requires no translation, speaks for itself.
 



Axel Merk: Why Asset Prices Must Return To Lower Levels

"...as the Swiss National Bank has shown, risk can come back with a vengeance. The same thing can happen of course, in any other market. If the Federal Reserve wants to pursue an "exit" to its intervention, if it wants to go down this path, well, volatility is going to come back.  Everything else equal, it means asset prices have to be priced lower. That is the problem if you base an economic recovery exclusively on asset price inflation. We are going to have our hands full trying to kind of move on from here. In that context, what the Swiss National Bank has done is it is just a canary in the coal mine that there will be more trouble ahead."
 



Greek Deposit Outflows Soar In Run-Up To Syriza Victory

Despite all the fear-mongering by Nea Demokratia (ND), Syriza's victory over the incumbent is dramatically larger than expected (exit polls indicate a potential 12 point margin vs 7 point spreads in the run-up). However, as JPMorgan details, the fear-mongery was very evident in bank deposit runs as proxied outflows surge EUR8 billion last week - more than all of December and the rest of January combined...
 



Did Goldman Just Call The Top Of The "Strong Dollar" Trade

This is what Goldman has to say in order to assure that clients flood Goldman's prop pardon flow traders with "Buy USD" orders: orders which Goldman, being on the other side, will be delighted to fill.
 


Woodrow Wilson is the Asshole you can blame...for the financial mess we are in today...

David Stockman: Woodrow Wilson's War & Why The Entire 20th Century Was A Mistake

"My humble thesis tonight is that the entire 20th Century was a giant mistake. And that you can put the blame for this monumental error squarely on Thomas Woodrow Wilson - a megalomaniacal madman who was the very worst President in American history... well, except for the last two."
 


"Cheerful" Dutch Financier Becomes 4th ABN Amro Banker Suicide

Following the deaths of 36 bankers last year, 2015 has got off to an inauspicious start with the reported suicide of Chris Van Eeghen - the 4th ABN Amro banker suicide in the last few years. As Quotenet reports, the death of Van Eghen  - the head of ABN's corporate finance and capital markets -"startled" friends and colleagues as the 42-year-old "had a great reputation" at work, came from an "illustrious family," and enjoyed national fame briefly as the boyfriend of a famous actress/model. As one colleague noted, "he was always cheerful, good mood, and apparently he had everything your heart desired. He never sat in the pit, never was down, so I was extremely surprised. I can not understand." Most believe that the suicide is not related to his work at the bank, but a former colleague had noticed that on his Facebook recently changed its job title to "former." Chris leaves behind a son - who had recently been cleared of cancer.
 


Get Ready For Negative Interest Rates In The US

With Fed mouthpiece Jon Hilsenrath warning - in no lesser status-quo narrative-deliverer than The Wall Street Journal - that The ECB's actions (and pre-emptive collapse in the EUR) means the U.S. economy must deal with a rapidly strengthening dollar that will make American goods more expensive abroad, potentially slowing both U.S. growth and inflation; and Treasury Secretary Lew coming out his crypt to mention "unfair FX moves," it appears The Fed (and powers that be) are worrying about King Dollar. This suggests, as Mises Canada's Patrick Barron predicts, the Fed will start charging negative interest rates on bank reserve accounts as the final tool in the war on savings and wealth in order to spur the Keynesian goal of increasing “aggregate demand”. If savers won’t spend their money, the government will take it from them.
 


How Mario Draghi Unleashed A $1.4 Trillion Negative Interest Rate Tsunami

The ECB may have failed at everything else but it has certainly achieved one thing: sending 20% of Europe's universe of government bonds,  some €1.4 trillion, into negative territory.
