Paul Craig Roberts: "Washington Is Impotent To Prevent Armageddon"



The West is impotent to prevent Armageddon. It is up to Russia and China, and as Washington has framed the dilemma, Armageddon can only be prevented by Russia and China accepting vassal status. This is not going to happen. Why would any self-respecting people submit to the corrupt West? The hope is that Washington will cause its European vassals to rebel by pushing them too hard into conflict with Russia. If European politicians were to break from Washington’s hegemony and instead represent European interests, Washington would be deprived of cover for its war crimes. The breakdown of the neoconservative unipower model would then be apparent even to Washington, and the world would become a safer and better place.


“On the Verge of a Massive Collapse”: Ron Paul Says Stock Market Headed for a Day of Reckoning

by Mac Slavo, SHTFPlan:

We all know it is only a matter of time until the music stops. But Dr. Ron Paul, the former Congressman often celebrated for his outspoken views and opposition to the funny money economic system, says that day could be coming soon.
Despite record highs in the market, former Rep. Ron Paul says the Fed’s easy money policies have left stocks and bonds are on the verge of a massive collapse. “I am utterly amazed at how the Federal Reserve can play havoc with the market,” Paul said on CNBC’s “Futures Now” referring to Thursday’s surge in stocks. The S&P 500 closed less than 1 percent off its all-time high. “I look at it as being very unstable.”
It is easy money that is propping up the stock market and allowing Wall Street firms to capitalize on zero percent interest injections from the Federal Reserve – but is that same easy money that is stressing the system to a tipping point.

The Coming US Recession Charted

The idea of an imminent US recession may seem moot as all the self-proclaimed experts and talking heads still acts as we are well into a recovery and patiently waiting for the forthcoming escape velocity which will take care of all ills plaguing today’s over-indebted society. Never do they stop to think about why things looks as dismal as they do. The sheer scale of the backwardness shown in such gross economic illiteracy suggest to us there is ulterior motives behind so-called Keynesian economic theories. Comparing GDP with cumulative goods sold and inventory accumulation since 2000 should tell you everything you need to know. The US economy is now on the verge of a new recession.




Meanwhile, Greece Is Quietly Printing Billions Of Euros

During the same period over which Greek banks lost nearly €30 billion in deposits, banknotes in circulation jumped by some €13 billion. In short, because Greeks are increasingly prone to stuffing their euros in mattresses, a large proportion of the deposit flight has come in the form of hard currency withdrawals, meaning the Bank of Greece is forced to (literally) print billions in physical banknotes.




"The Collateral Has Run Out" - JPM Warns ECB Will Use Greek "Nuclear Option" If No Monday Deal

"If no agreement is reached on Monday, then the ECB will have little reason to show further flexibility and it will likely freeze its ELA limit on Greek banks. As a result capital controls will become almost inevitable after Monday."




The Lesson In China: Don't Go Bubble In the First Place

What the stock bubble shows is the unthinkable degree of difficulty in trying to actually manage letting air out of any bubble in an orderly fashion. It may already be too late, as growth declines still further month by month, but stock prices go even more insane, drawing in more and more “retail” accounts and regular Chinese. In other words, the reform idea may have been impossible from the start; that the PBOC went ahead anyway, and still continues despite all that has happened, more than suggests that they now recognize the most dangerous existence is asset bubbles, far and away more important than even “necessary” growth.

Signs Of Financial Turmoil Are Brewing In Europe, China And The United States

As we move toward the second half of 2015, signs of financial turmoil are appearing all over the globe. Slowly but surely, we are starting to see the smart money head for the exits. As one Swedish fund manager put it recently, everyone wants “to avoid being caught on the wrong side of markets once the herd realizes stocks are over-valued“.




How The Saudi Foreign Ministry Controls Arab Media

On Monday, Saudi Arabia celebrated the beheading of its 100th prisoner this year. The story was nowhere to be seen on Arab media despite the story's circulation on wire services. Even international media was relatively mute about this milestone compared to what it might have been if it had concerned a different country. How does a story like this go unnoticed? Today's release of the WikiLeaks "Saudi Cables" from the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs show how it's done.

China Must Be Getting Really Nervous To Do This

One of the most stunning data points of the ponzi bubble called Chinese Stock Markets has been the greater-than-exponential rise in the opening of new retail stock trading accounts in the last few months. If ever there was a better indicator of speculative excess or a government policy out of control, it was the pace of new account openings. So... when we discover that after 8 years of weekly data provision, China Securities Depository & Clearing (CDSC) Corp has decided to discontinue the time series - it is clear China is getting very worried.

Liquidity And Manipulated Prices Are Not An Economy And Never Will Be

The Greek case offers quite a relevant view into the world of 21st century monetary alchemy, because that is what it really amounts to.  What is left, however, is the worst of all cases; no recovery, no lending and now just more financial imbalance piled onto the same negative pressures and imbalances that never really went away. What is amazing is how short the attention of “investors” may be, and how they allow themselves to think monetary complexity passes for proficiency or even expertise despite all and continued observation otherwise.

Obama: Low-income Kids Do Worse in School at Month’s End Partly Because They’re ‘Getting Hungry,’ Food Stamps ‘Running Out’

by Penny Starr, CNS News:
Kids in low-income communities statistically do poorer in terms of school performance near the end of each month, in part, because “they start getting hungry” as their food stamps “start running out,” said President Barack Obama at a Democratic National Committee fundraiser in Santa Monica, Calif., on Thursday.
“Too many of our kids still go hungry in this country,” said Obama. 
“I was looking at some statistics, because we’re looking at policies around hunger and the SNAP program, and the performance of children in lower-income communities in school dips at the end of the month in a statistically significant way,” he said, “in part because they start getting hungry as their food stamps for their family start running out which then affects how they perform in school.”

Humanity is Developing Survival Resistance to Government Lies

by Bernie Suarez, Activist Post:
Throughout nature it is well known that species will experience changes in its DNA and adaptations in its physical expression and behavior solely for the purposes of surviving in its environment. There are numerous examples in nature of species genetically and physically adapting to its environment for survival reasons. So it’s not a far-fetched suggestion that humanity itself may now be experiencing a physiological mental and cerebral transformation which is changing its behavioral pattern and environmental response to the phenomenon of government.
That’s right, as humans we have an obligation to think critically and objectively when considering the plight of humanity as it struggles in these modern days against the new world order and the human control system. It is up to us to consider the objective expression of this battle for freedom against the oppressive and defective component of humanity known as government.

Greece Standing Strong On The Shoulders Of Russia & China, Plus The Road To $19,000 Gold

from KingWorldNews:
The Chinese want to back their currency, which will become a reserve currency, with gold. That will change the world’s monetary system. It will turn the world’s monetary system on its head because then gold will suddenly become an official monetary metal. The yuan will be the king of reserve currencies, even though they may not be allotted a king size share of the IMF’s SDR. Regardless, people around the world will want to own the currency that is backed by gold.
Greece Calls The IMF – “A Criminal Organization”
Turning to Greece, people are wondering why the Greeks are being so resistant to anything the Europeans are offering? It is because Greece feels it has another alternative. Someone from Greece called the IMF a ‘criminal organization.’ These are not the words of a weak country that is negotiating with a giant. These are the words of a country that really thinks it has a lot of leverage.

Dylann Roof: The Racist Killer Who Had Black Friends

by Kurt Nimmo, Infowars:
According to the establishment media, Dylann Roof is a confirmed racist who shot to death nine black people at South Carolina church because he hated them. Despite this characterization, a black friend of Roof said he did not display animosity toward him or other black people.
“Never once did he say ‘I don’t like black people, I’m going to kill black people,’” Christon Scriven told The Associated Press on Friday. Now a racist “manifesto” has surfaced, allegedly penned by Roof.
According to Gawker, it was discovered on a website registered under Dylann Roof’s name, lastrhodesian.com, discovered through a Reverse Whois lookup on domaintools.com.

Mike Pompeo Does it Again: Reintroduces Monsanto Bill

by Christina Sarich, Natural Society:
Congressman Mike Pompeo (R-KS) just reintroduced another ridiculous bill, the so-called “Safe and Accurate Food Labeling Act” (H.R. 1599). If it passes, it will mean states can no longer pass GMO labeling bills. It would also prohibit states or counties from banning or regulating GMOs in any way.
This bill would essentially completely reverse all the progress made in Oregon, Maui, and Vermont to eradicate GMOs from our food supply. In a blatant power grab through another errand boy for biotech, Pompeo has introduced a bill which would completely undue democracy in regard to our food supply. It would mean that you have NO CHOICE about eating foods doused with herbicides, pesticides, and fungicides, tinkered with to contain Bt toxins, and ‘kill-switch’ genes, and whatever other dark, devilish designs on our food biotech decides to envision.

The President Gets it Wrong Once Again — Guns are actually saving lives

from Gun Owners:
Just hours after the tragic shooting in a South Carolina church, President Barack Obama resumed his fanatical war on the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding gun owners.
“Now’s the time for mourning and for healing, but let’s be clear — at some point we as a country will have to reckon with the fact that this type of mass violence does not happen in other advanced countries,” Obama said.
Really? Has the President forgotten just some of the foreign massacres that have taken place during his presidency — shootings that claimed far more lives than the nine which were tragically lost in South Carolina? How about:

Global Trend Forecaster Gerald Celente On $20,000 Gold: “Here’s What We’re Forecasting…”

by Mac Slavo, SHTFPlan:
If there’s one thing everyone can agree on in an environment where economic data has been skewed, repeatedly revised and outright manipulated, it’s that we are seeing extreme volatility throughout the global marketplace. “From Shanghai to New York”, says highly acclaimed global trend forecaster Gerald Celente,  “to stocks, bonds and oil prices, it’s swing time.”
And while most retail investors around the world continue to pump their money into propaganda-built markets that include over bloated stocks and real estate investments, those in the know are preparing for the inevitable crash because, as Celente notes, “the worst is yet to come.”

Emergency Alert: The Elite Are Now Evacuating

[Ed. Note: Guys, I wrote the following last night in the comments section at SGT Report in a reply to reader Paul T: “We are all fools to stay here now. Just sayin’. We are all now combating the ULTIMATE normalcy bias. Because things HAVE ALREADY changed for the worse over worse, and yet, here we are.” The point is this, the smart money is exiting the country.]
from AJ:



Ed. Note: For those hollering “fear porn”: with… Jade Helm, Engineered Drought, Agenda 21, Turning off water to California communities, Mandatory Vaccination Legislation, Fukushima Radiation, Pacific Genocide, Jeb VS Hillary 2016, accelerating global de-Dollarization, Economic Collapse… I’m wondering exactly, which one of these horrific FACTS, which are ignored daily by the people and the MSM, constitutes “fear porn”?

Every Mass Shooting Shares One Thing In Common & It’s NOT Weapons

by Dan Roberts, Ammoland:
Nearly every mass shooting incident in the last twenty years, and multiple other instances of suicide and isolated shootings all share one thing in common, and its not the weapons used.
The overwhelming evidence points to the signal largest common factor in all of these incidents is the fact that all of the perpetrators were either actively taking powerful psychotropic drugs or had been at some point in the immediate past before they committed their crimes.
Multiple credible scientific studies going back more than a decade, as well as internal documents from certain pharmaceutical companies that suppressed the information show that SSRI drugs ( Selective Serotonin Re-Uptake Inhibitors ) have well known, but unreported side effects, including but not limited to suicide and other violent behavior.
