Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/29/2015 - 22:30 At this point in time, nuclear war can only be avoided in two ways. One way is for Russia and China to surrender and accept Washington’s hegemony. The other way is for an independent leader in Germany, the UK, or France to rise to office and withdraw from NATO. That would begin a stampede to leave NATO, which is Washington’s prime tool for causing conflict with Russia and, thereby, is the most dangerous force on earth to every European country and to the entire world. If NATO continues to exist, NATO together with the neoconservative ideology of American hegemony will make nuclear war inevitable.
In Latest NSA Spying Scandal, World Learns Obama Lied Again; Congress Furious it Was Spied On
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/29/2015 - 21:45 "The bottom line is that people around the world, regardless of their nationality, should know that the United States is not spying on ordinary people who don’t threaten our national security, and that we take their privacy concerns into account in our policies and procedures. This applies to foreign leaders as well." - Barack Obama, January 17, 2014

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/29/2015 - 18:45 "We are right back at it: trying to stimulate growth through easy money. It hasn’t worked, but it’s the only tool the Fed’s got. The biggest hope I had was that we would enter a new era of personal responsibility. Instead, we doubled down on blaming others, and this is long-term tragic..."
China Suspends Foreign Banks' FX Trading As Offshore Yuan Spread Signals Massive Outflows
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/29/2015 - 22:50 For the first time since the August collapse, Offshore Yuan is trading over 1000 pips weaker (relative to the USDollar) than onshore Yuan, signalling outflows are once again escalating. Following the chaos in HIBOR money-markets, Offshore Yuan has crashed to 6.5970 (below August spike lows) to the weakest since Dec 2010. On the heels of this recent divergence between on- and off-shore Yuan, China has suspended some foreign banks from FX trading, we suppose to try and stem the capital outflows.
Sweden's First Month Of 'Islamic Multiculturalism' - Rapes, Acquittals, & Severed Heads
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/29/2015 - 22:45
Some 30 Muslim men thought that the woman was in violation of Islamic sharia law, by being in Sweden unaccompanied by a man. They thought that she should therefore be raped and her teenage son killed. At first, the woman did not want to call the police. "She felt sorry for him [the rapist] ... and was afraid he would be deported back to Iraq." Two
Swedish citizens were convicted by a Gothenburg Court of joining an
Islamist terror group in Syria and murdering two captives. Video evidence showed one victim being beheaded. One week after Sweden raised its terror alert level to the highest ever, the police raised another alarm -- saying their weapons are simply not good enough to prevent a potential terror attack.

The "Perks" Of Being An ISIS Jihadist
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/29/2015 - 21:30 In addition to receiving a salary and a constant stream of weapons courtesy of regional Sunni benefactors, and on top of being allowed to live in a perpetual state of dark, bacchanalian revelry, Islamic State soldiers also recieve 20% of the "loot" in captured territory and belong to a kind of militant Sam's Club which guarantees a 50% discount on a variety of fun items.
Guest Post: Is The West Disintegrating?
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/29/2015 - 21:00 The movement toward deeper European integration appears to have halted, and gone into reverse, as the EU seems to be unraveling along ideological, national, tribal and historic lines. If these trends continue, and they seem to have accelerated in 2015, the idea of a United States of Europe dies, and with it the EU. And this raises a question about the most successful economic and political union in history - the USA.

Iran Fires Rockets 1,500 Yards Away From A US Aircraft Carrier
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/29/2015 - 20:00 As we recently reported, the US aircraft carrier USS Harry S Truman had made its way through The Mediterranean Sea, launchiung airstrikes on Syria and Iraq on its way. While the proximity of so many vessels, fighter jets, coasts, friends, enemies, and frenemies was always precarious, NBC News reports that the carrier came within 1500 yards of an Iranian rocket fired in a live-fire exercise in the Straits of Hormuz last week. US officials said this was "unnecessarily provocative and unsafe" from Obama's nuclear-deal partners.

The Russian Economy Is Cracking, "Social Unrest" Coming In "A Few Months", Official Warns
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/29/2015 - 18:00 As the ruble plunges to record lows against the dollar, we take a close look at the outlook for inflation and GDP growth in 2016 in the context of The Kremlin's budget, which assumes $50/bbl crude. We also ask whether the deficit - expected to balloon to 4.4% of GDP in the event oil hovers around $35/bbl - will grow as a result of a planned bailout for insolvent state lender VEB.

"The downgrade of Noble's ratings reflects Moody's concerns over the company's liquidity," says Joe Morrison, a Moody's Vice President and Senior Credit Officer. The Ba1 ratings also reflect low levels of profitability and consistent negative free cash flow from core operating activities, which exclude proceeds from asset sales."

California Politicians Could Soon Be Forced To Wear Logos Of Top Corporate Donors

American taxpayers will once again be liable for more than one-fifth of
the United Nations’ regular budget next year, as well as more than
one-quarter of the much-larger peacekeeping budget – a total of
approximately $2,957,000,000.
The U.N. General Assembly just before Christmas approved a regular operating budget of $5.4 billion for the 2016-17 period. (That budget is calculated biannually.) Of the $2.7 billion earmarked for 2016, the U.S. will account for 22 percent, or $594 million. Of the separate peacekeeping budget – $8.27 billion for the year ending June 30 – the U.S. is liable for 28.5783 percent, or $2.363 billion. Combined, the two U.S. contributions amount to just under $3 billion.
In actual fact the full extent of U.S. funding for the U.N. system will be considerably more than that: The $2.957 billion figure comprises the U.S. “assessed contributions” to the two main budgets, but the U.S. in addition provides much more in “voluntary contributions” to a range of U.N. agencies.

It appears that the week of Christmas in 2015 is quite the low moment
for Turkey’s public relations department. In addition to be revealed as
one of the top purchasers of ISIS oil by many in the alternative media,
the Russian government, and a number of other sources, Erdogan’s own son has been pointed
out as one of the principal smugglers and the Turkish President’s own
daughter as the Florence Nightingale of the caliphate. If that wasn’t
bad enough, an independent report by a Norwegian oil consulting firm also confirmed that much of
the ISIS oil was being shipped directly to Turkey. A Turkish party
member even revealed that the terrorists who committed the chemical
weapons attack in Ghouta most likely received their chemical weapons from Turkey and committed the atrocity with foreknowledge and assistance from Turkish intelligence.
Yet the hits to the Turkish government’s public relations just keep on coming, the latest of which involves statements coming from an ISIS member who was recently captured by Kurdish troops in Syria, who has revealed that not only is Turkey a primary buyer of ISIS oil but that ISIS fighters were being trained both in and by Turkey itself to be deployed into Syria. The captured fighter also revealed that the ISIS fighters on the ground do not take the American airstrikes seriously, viewing them as nothing more than show.

Senator Chris Coons, a Democrat from Delaware, went on the Morning Joe
Show to call for a “small surtax” to pay for the war against the Islamic

State. Coons said in addition to authorizing Obama’s unconstitutional

The US has spent more than $5 billion on the war against IS since August, 2014.
“The daily tab for fighting ISIS had already climbed more
than 20 percent between May 21 and October 15 of this year, from $9.1
million a day to nearly $11 million, according to the Pentagon’s latest
public figures,” reports Vocative.
“More than half of those costs came in the form of airstrikes, which
the U.S. has employed since August of 2014 to pound Islamic State
targets. Munitions, logistics and operational support accounted for the
remaining costs, the Pentagon said.”
