Lord Rothschild Warns Investors: "Geopolitical Situation Most Dangerous Since WWII"
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/05/2015 - 20:00
For Lord Rothschild, preserving wealth has "become increasingly difficult," recently, as he warns, rather ominously, "we are faced with a geopolitical situation as dangerous as any we have faced since World War II." Furthermore Lord Rothschild summarizes his thoughts briefly, eloquently, and ominously... as he touches on the global
debasement of fiat currencies, disappointing growth (in light of
massive monetary stimulus), and extreme stock market valuations. As Rothschild Wealth Management noted last year, equities are not well supported by current valuations, while monetary policy is limited by high debt levels and interest rates that are already close to zero... exposing equities to a potentially sharp correction.
from 21st Century Wire:
Earlier this week, we saw the conservative Pro-War Lobby in Washington DC – along with their financial sponsors in Israel – aggressively angling for a new war with Iran.
The biggest problem with US General Martin Dempsey’s latest war proposal against Russia, aside from pushing the globe closer to WWIII, is that he is advocating sending arms to an openly Nazi-sympathizing and fascist regime in Kiev. It simply flies in the face of history.
This is also the precise reason why Washington’s billionaire puppet, Ukrainian President Petro Poreshenko, was shunned by European leaders like Angela Merkel and Francois Hollande in Minsk two weeks ago. Hence, both Germany and France have vocally opposed having the NATO allies sending arms to Kiev. Europeans know very well the price they would pay if the region is pushed into war because of a US-led geopolitical power-play against Russia.

Gold Prices And Real Interest Rates
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/05/2015 - 21:30
Are gold prices going to US$ 5,000 or US$500 an ounce?
from Kingworldnews:
We are now in Wonderland, where anything is possible. Real money
disappeared a long time ago and we have only fiat money that can be
created out of nothing. And whatever needs governments have, they can
just print more money to achieve it. But the problem now is that the
needs of most countries are growing exponentially because printed money
requires more printed money to keep the wheels moving.
In the U.S., for example, it took 200 years to increase the federal debt from zero to $9 trillion. But since 2007, just before the crisis started, U.S. debt has more than doubled from $9 trillion to over $18 trillion. So in 8 years Bernanke and Yellen have presided over a debt creation of more than $9 trillion that previously took the U.S. 230 years to achieve.

There is a mantra within the hallowed halls of prepper knowledge, lore
and opinion that goes something like this. The only way to survive
TEOTWAWKI is to find a hidden retreat far away from any city of
significant size and live there as self-sustainably as possible year
round. This idea of the survival retreat has been around for years and
it is actually a lifestyle I aspire to for myself and my family. I dream
of a fortified home in the woods, streams rolling through my mountain
location, solar arrays, livestock in fences, wild game aplenty and wood burning stove
goodness all around me. There is one major problem with this mantra
though and that is the prospect of moving everything we have and living
in a cabin in the woods is nearly impossible for the large majority of
us.

ENERGY XXI GULF COAST, INC. PRICES UPSIZED PRIVATE OFFERING OF $1.45 BILLION OF 11.000% SENIOR SECURED SECOND LIEN NOTES DUE 2020
Back in August 2014, yield-starved bondholders were delighted to give American Eagle Energy $175 million in cash, and why not: the company promised them an 11% annual cash coupon. Seven months later the company is in default, and the same bondholders are looking at an 80% loss, without receiving even one coupon payment. Movie Gallery anyone?

Richard Maybury has been predicting ‘black swan’ events in his newsletter Early Warning Report for the last two decades.
In a recent conversation, he put his finger on something happening around the world. He sees a growing anxiety about global events – “everybody knows there’s something seriously wrong but they don’t know what is really happening,” he said.
A reckoning with policies that have been in place since the 1940’s is taking place, according to Richard. The fallout, he says, has implications for currencies, the military hegemony of the US, and political stability around the world.
US Hegemony Since the 1940’s
“The United Nations, NATO, the Bretton Woods monetary system, the World Bank, and the International Monetary Fund were all created in the 1940s according to blueprints that were approved in Washington,” Richard explains.

for our weekly get together. Heta bank in Austria has perhaps reached
the end of the road. The bank, which was bailed out by the Austrian
Government in 2008 and is now in need of another bailout but none will
be forthcoming. Rather, bondholders and creditors will be paying for the
bailout and this will have the effect of triggering the CDS’s (Credit
Default Swaps). Will this lead to a series of cascading collapses among
banks across the world? That’s the fear among many alternative
economists across the globe and only time will tell.

The first two months of 2015 have seen turmoil in the currency markets
extend from Russia and Ukraine to the heart of Europe. “Central Banks
Now Open 24/7 Fighting Currency Wars and Deflation,” blared a February
12th Bloomberg headline. Against this backdrop, precious metals have
been on the rise in terms of all currencies except the Swiss franc and
the U.S dollar.
In January, the Swiss National Bank shocked markets by announcing that it would de-link its currency from the euro. The move came one week ahead of the European Central Bank’s $1.1 trillion Quantitative Easing announcement. Swiss officials decided it would be too costly to keep accumulating depreciating euros in order to maintain the currency peg. The Swiss franc surged by the most ever in a single day.

Martin Armstrong Warns "The Tide Is Turning Against The Banks"
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/05/2015 - 16:23 The tide is turning against the banks. We will see more and more corporations turn away from the banks as advisory entities. They just cannot be trusted when they are also the market-makers making commissions/spreads on the trading that are totally undisclosed. The day of the banks is coming to an end. It looks more like the next downturn will drive the spike right through their hearts. Just maybe, we may get back to the way its should be – relationship business, not transactional where they have the incentive to manipulate markets for the quick buck and front-run clients.

Americans Have Three Options When It Comes to Expatriation
As I see it, Americans have three choices when it comes to expatriation:
1. We can leave the country for a less volatile place to live.
2. There are places we could emigrate to which would buy us a little time against the full rollout of tyranny.
3. We could simply lay down and take our beating as so many victims of genocide have in the past. Or, we can resist the final stages of tyranny and pay for our disobedience with our lives.

John Kerry: "Military Pressure May Be Needed To Oust Syria's President "
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/05/2015 - 20:28 Last week, after reading a Time article titled "Why Bashar Assad Won’t Fight ISIS" written by a journalist whose recent work includes "The YouTube War", and who sourced two unnamed, anonymous sources to reach the conclusion that Syria's president Assad is in cahoots with ISIS, we made a simple conclusion: "The Stage Is Set For The Syrian Invasion." Barely a week has gone by and the wheels for the Syrian invasion are indeed turning: earlier today, US Secretary of State John Kerry (who one hopes doesn't use kerryemails.com as a work email server) who is on a trip to Saudi Arabia unveiled the next steps when he said that "military pressure may be needed to oust Syria's President Bashar al-Assad."Fed 2015 "Stress Test" Results: 31 Out Of 31 Pass, Mission Accomplished
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/05/2015 - 16:33 Four months ago, in another failed attempt to boost confidence in the Eurozone and stimulate lending (failed because three months later the ECB finally launched its own QE), the ECB conducted its latest stress test, which as we explicitly pointed out was an utter joke as even its "worst-case" scenario did not simulate a deflationary scenario. Two months later Europe was in outright deflation. It was initially unclear just how comparably laughable the Fed's own stress test assumptions were, but refuting rumors that Deutsche and Santander would fail the Fed's stress test (perhaps because former FDIC head and current Santander head Sheila Bair wasn't too happy about her bank being one of the failed ones), moments ago the Fed released the results of the 2015 Fed stress test, and.... it seems there was no need to provide a sacrificial lamb as with stocks at record highs.
