40 Million People Will Be Out Of Work Next Year, OECD Warns

Perhaps the most disturbing, and factual (unlike the IMF's forecast of Greek 2022 debt/GDP), finding is that unemployment in the OECD region has fallen only 1 per cent since its 2010 peak. In other words, by 2016, the group warned, 40 million people will be out of work, 7.5 million more than immediately before the crisis. 40 million angry people, with little hope of professional realization and lots of free time. Is it surprising why in recent months not a day passes without some mass violence event breaking out somewhere in the world.

Tyranny: It Pisses Me Off

In fact, the most despicable forms of tyranny are often the most subtle; the kinds of tyranny in which the oppressed are deluded into thinking that because they have “choices”, that necessarily makes them “free”.




Vanguard To Buy Mainland China Shares For $69 Billion EM Index Fund

"A surprise move by Vanguard to include onshore Chinese A-shares in its flagship emerging market fund will “put pressure” on other asset managers to follow suit," FT reports.




Meet The NSAC - The US Government's Shadow Spy Agency

Just when you thought you knew what the government's spy state was up to - thanks to Ed Snowden's heroics - along comes the National Security Analysis Cneter (NSAC). As PhaseZero exposes, they are not who you think they are. They are not the NSA or the CIA. The NSAC is an obscure element of the Justice Department that has grown from its creation in 2008 into a sprawling 400-person, $150 million-a-year multi-agency organization employing almost 300 analysts "for the purpose of monitoring the electronic footprints of terrorists and their supporters, identifying their behaviors, and providing actionable intelligence." Read that again "and their supporters." As PhaseZero concludes, this shadow government agency is considerably scarier than the NSA.




The Real Reason Why There Is No Bond Market Liquidity Left

"Central bank distortions have forced investors into positions they would not have held otherwise, and forced them to be the ‘same way round’ to a much greater extent than previously... unless fundamentals move so as to justify current valuations, when central banks move towards the exit, investors will too.... The way out may not prove so easy; indeed, we are not sure there is any way out at all."




Did The US Department Of Justice Just Do Vladimir Putin A Great Favor

The DOJ's crackdown against FIFA in general, and the Russian World Cup of 2018 in particular, may have been just the blessing in disguise that Putin, who whether he likes it or not has been forced to hunker down in cash conservation mode, wanted.




Philippine President Compares China To Nazi Germany; Beijing Tells Him To "Repent"

“I’m an amateur student of history and I’m reminded of ... how Germany was testing the waters and what the response was by various other European powers.” - Philippine President Benigno Aquino
"I once more seriously warn certain people in the Philippines to cast aside their illusions and repent." - Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying




The Danes Are Revolting: Tax Administration Set On Fire

In Fredensborg, Denmark, ten official cars from the Tax Administration Office were set on fire and destroyed overnight in a protest. As ExstraBladet reports, police received notification Wednesday night at 3:09 a.m. that the Tax Administration offices on Kratvej were on fire. So far, there are no suspects. But, as Martin Armstrong notes, the police will undoubtedly hunt for someone retaliating against the Tax Man. As the world economy turns down and governments become far more aggressive to grab money from everyone, we should see a sharp rise in these types of incidents.




US Police And Prosecutors Fight To Retain Barbaric Right of “Civil Asset Forfeiture”

The fact that civil asset forfeiture continues to exist across the American landscape despite outrage and considerable media attention, is as good an example as any as to how far fallen and uncivilized our so-called “society” has become. It also proves the point demonstrated in a Princeton University study that the U.S. is not a democracy, and the desires of the people have no impact on how the country is governed.



Why Monsanto Is Losing Money: Because People Aren’t Buying It

by Anthony Gucciardi, Natural Society:

Why is Monsanto consistently losing money month after month? Because people aren’t buying their GMOs and cancer-linked herbicide. And as I’ve told you time and time again, the age of Monsanto is coming to an end.
During March Against Monsanto 2015, I asked health conscious attendees to give me their thoughts on the biotech juggernaut, and heard some really powerful stories. While many bystanders thought Monsanto was a carpet cleaning company, the March Against Monsanto fans had a lot to say: from horrible tales about Monsanto’s Agent Orange taking the lives of family members to how they’re taking action.

People’s Power Defends Detroit Homeowners

by Patrick Sheehan, OCCUPY:

“I just want to say thank you for joining us in the fight for our lives.”
Antoinette Talley stands on a makeshift podium in the common area of a gray stone church on Detroit’s east side. The room’s walls are a dark, varnished wood. Fluorescent lighting illuminates an imposingly large wood-framed image of The Last Supper over the door.
If it weren’t for the plastic over the windows, Talley’s generous smile, and body heat – there are at least sixty people in attendance – the room would be as cold as Detroit’s battered streets.
As she addresses the audience, Talley is flanked by several of her neighbors, each of them recent homeowners in the new Gratiot-McDougall housing development just a few blocks north of the church. She and her neighbors have been fighting a dubious eviction notice from the project’s developer for months now. Today they are guests of honor at a fundraiser held on their behalf by the activist organization Detroit Eviction Defense.

ISIL: Washington’s Ugly Child

by Vladimir Platov, NEO, via The Phaser:
A considerable amount of evidence in support not only of the close ties with ISIL and involvement of the White House in the emergence of this terrorist radical formation, but also the US participation in the preparation of its militants and supplying them with weapons has been already published in various countries.
It is enough to at least recall an interview of a famous American essayist, philosopher and theorist Noam Chomsky made for Al-Ahram, Egyptian publishing house, in November 2014, saying that the success of the terrorist group ISIL is attributed to the US policy, and Saudi Arabia. He stressed at the time that Barack Obama had directly authorized ISIL weapons equipping through the Gulf States, particularly through Qatar, and now threatened the Arab countries with those things in which creation they had participated in recent years. He stated: “If Washington was sincere in the struggle against ISIL, it had to contend with Saudi Arabia as the cradle of Wahhabism and extremism, as well as the financial backer of terrorist groups in the west, east and south-east Asia.

Economic Recovery Illusion: The World’s an Easy Money Addict on Life Support

from The Janssen Report:



The People’s Bank of China (PBOC) just announced another round of money printing at 1.5 trillion Yuan, equivalent to roughly a quarter of a trillion Dollars. In the mean time there is talk of economic recovery, but on what grounds? Let’s have a look at some of the numbers, bearing in mind the massive monetary intervention by central banks around the world.
The US has a knack for reporting relatively good GDP and Unemployment figures and then revise them downward in the next period (when media interest for these numbers have faded). Recently the GDP growth figure for the first quarter was revised to -0.7% while previously reported to be at POSITIVE 0.2%. As I reported previously, I have also serious criticism on the Unemployment figure of 5.4%. I think it’s way too low.
The EU also doesn’t have much to show for. With the Unemployment rate still above 11% and almost no GDP growth (0.4% Q1), there is no reason to cheer. And I don’t think it’s going to be better in the short run. In fact, it will get worse. The global economy is on life support.


America, Prepare to Defend Yourselves!

by Dave Hodges, The Common Sense Show:
America has been invaded and is in the proces of being occupied. ILS towers which can be used to guide in troop transport planes and heavy equipment in bad weather are being put into the countryside outside of Cheyenne,Wyoming, where they have a lot of bad weather. Intellistreets “Big Brother” surveillance is being installed in Cheyenne, Wyoming as well and is prevalent at the local Walmart. In places like Flint, Michigan, our cities are being turned into potential battlegrounds as highly obnoxious and very aggressive military drills are underway and are serving to frighten the local population. The intent of the Jade Helm forces is becoming more clear with each passing day. We have foreign troops entering the country in central Texas and in Portland, Oregon. I have previously reported that the Michigan National Guard and Army Reserve Units have trained with foreign troops in late April.

ISIS details plan to transport nuke into the US through Mexico

from Off Grid Survival:
The jihadist group ISIS claims it can transport a nuclear device over the Mexican border. The news comes via the latest Islamic State propaganda magazine – yes, they actually have a magazine—and is something U.S. military officials have been warning about for quite some time.
In a piece written and published in ISIS’ Dabiq magazine, the group outlined how they can use existing drug routes to smuggle the bomb in to the U.S., something that has senior intelligence officials very concerned.
In March, Gen. John Kelly, former-commander of U.S. Southern Command (Southcom), warned that Islamic Terrorist organizations were actively recruiting throughout Latin America in an attempt to use trafficking organizations to infiltrate the United States via the Southern border.

Ron Paul: Before Applauding Freedom Act, Address “CIA Secret Government Far Above the Law”

by Alex Thomas, SHTFPlan:
Finally, a move towards freedom and the restoration of rights… well, not quite so fast.
Hold your applause.
The passage of the USA FREEDOM Act and the expiration of parts of the PATRIOT Act are being hailed as monumental steps in ending unwarranted surveillance, but – signed into law by President Obama – it is largely a weak half measure aimed at giving the appearance of restored trust in government:
Yesterday the Senate passed and President Obama signed into law the USA Freedom Act, a piece of legislation meant to curb the government’s ability to conduct widespread surveillance.

Strange Deaths Surrounding Wall Street

from Armstrong Economics:

Thomas J. Hughes, a 29-year-old investment banker allegedly took his life by jumping from a luxury apartment building at 1 West Street in Manhattan last week. Per usual, the NYPD immediately declared it a suicide. Strangely, serious investigations never took place and similar deaths have occurred within the past 18 months all declared suicides.
Wall Street on Parade has been following a lead, alleging insurance fraud. They may be barking up the wrong tree with regard to motive, but what they are barking about is very strange. I suspect that, like myself, they may have stumbled upon info with respect to market manipulations that would uncover even more wrongdoing and billions of dollars in fines.

UnderTheLens – Worried Bankers

The working few and the inverted pyramid of labor

1 out of 3 Americans financially carry the other two-thirds.
from MyBudget360.com:

Last month a record 93,194,000 Americans were counted as not being in the labor force.  Counted might be the wrong word since this group is largely erased from any employment figures.  In fact, this is a large reason why the unemployment rate has fallen so dramatically.  Yet one grim financial reality remains.  That reality includes the fact that 1 out of 3 Americans is carrying the country financially by working in the private sector.  There needs to be a better balance and the working class is already getting slammed in this so-called recovery.  If things were so great, why is the battle cry for the 2016 election all about the working and middle class?  The stock market is near a peak.  Too bad most Americans own no stocks.  Housing values are rising.  Too bad more home purchases are going to investors versus single families.  Debt is more accessible.  Too bad it is for items like cars that depreciate immediately once the vehicle is driven off the lot.  The employment situation in the US is largely looking like an inverted pyramid.

US Eagles Soaring While Jack Lew Sits on the Price Today

by Bix Weir, Road To Roota, via SGT Report:
One of the dichotomies that has been present since the introduction of the US Silver Eagle Program in 1987 is that the official price of silver as determined on the paper/electronic exchange called the COMEX has absolutely no bearing on how many US Silver Eagles are sold. Supply and demand go right out the window as the US Mint has been rationing Silver Eagles from way before it was legal for them to do so. If the price goes up or down it makes no difference…Silver Eagles fly off the shelf when the rationing is removed (as it was on June 1st).
In the first 3 days of June the US Mint sold 925,000 coins averaging 308k per day. If we extrapolate that for the month it comes close to 7M coins…the most ever sold in the historically slow month of June.
