From Democracy To Pathocracy: The Rise Of The Political Psychopath
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/30/2016 - 22:40 The Founders understood that our freedoms do not flow from the government. They were not given to us only to be taken away by the will of the State. Until we can get back to this way of thinking, until we can remind our fellow Americans what it really means to be a free American, and until we can learn to stand our ground in the face of threats to those freedoms and encourage our fellow citizens to stop being cogs in the machine, we will continue to be treated like slaves in thrall to a bureaucratic police state run by political psychopaths.8 Things The Chinese Are Scrambling To Buy In America

PBOC Slams Yuan Shorts Again - Strengthens Currency Most Since 2005
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/30/2016 - 22:23 It appears the messaging from The People's Bank Of China to The Fed was heard loud and understood. Having exercised its will to weaken the Yuan (implying turmoil is possible), Janet Yellen delivered the dovish goods and so China 'allowed' the Yuan to rally back. In a double-whammy for everyone involved the biggest 3-day strengthening of the Yuan fix since 2005 also pushed Yuan forwards back to their richest relative to spot since Aug 2014 - once again showing their might against the dastardly speculative shorts.The More Corrupt The State, The More Numerous The Laws

Yellen-Driven Short-Squeeze Sends Bonds To Best Quarter In 4 Years
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/30/2016 - 21:25 After The Fed jawboned the world into the largest aggregate net short position in Treasuries in Q4 since 2010, its rapid realization that all is not well in the real world - and subsequent talking (and walking) back of rate-hike expectations - has sparked the biggest short-squeeze in 6 years and sent Treasuries up by the most since 2012. With odds collapsing for any more rate-hikes in 2016, as Yellen admits their forecasts are worthless, it seems - just as in 2010 - the bonds shorts have a way to go.
Presenting, "The Company That Bribed The World"
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/30/2016 - 21:01 Surprise! The global oil industry is corrupt. As Huff Post reports: "A massive leak of confidential documents has for the first time exposed the true extent of corruption within the oil industry, implicating dozens of leading companies, bureaucrats and politicians in a sophisticated global web of bribery and graft. After a six-month investigation across two continents, Fairfax Media and The Huffington Post can reveal that billions of dollars of government contracts were awarded as the direct result of bribes paid on behalf of firms including British icon Rolls-Royce, US giant Halliburton, Australia’s Leighton Holdings and Korean heavyweights Samsung and Hyundai."
"It's A Big, Scary World Out There," BofA Warns, And Only Janet Can Save Us
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/30/2016 - 20:36 On Tuesday, Janet Yellen delivered what some observers called her finest “performance” since ascending to the monetary throne in February of 2014. The message the vaunted Fed chair sought to drive home was simple: it wouldn’t matter if the unemployment rate dropped to 1% and inflation expectations spiked above the FOMC’s target overnight - it’s simply too dangerous out there for the Fed to lean hawkish.The Reason Why The Young #NeverTrump Protester Was Maced: Punching An Elderly Man In The Face

Is A Gas War Between The U.S. And Canada About To Start?
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/30/2016 - 14:50 The United States and Canada work well together. The countries share the world’s largest and most comprehensive trade relationship, exchanging more than $2 billion per day in goods and services; the U.S. is Canada’s largest foreign investor and Canada is the third-largest foreign investor in the U.S. The partnership clearly isn’t broken, but it may need some mending as bilateral and international gas trade stands to complicate matters in short order.
Attention President Obama: One Third Of U.S. Households Can No Longer Afford Food, Rent And Transportation
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/30/2016 - 14:38 While the median income had fallen by 13% from 2004 levels over the next decade, expenditures had increased by nearly 14%. But nobody was more impacted than the one-third of households which the study defines as "low-income." Pew finds that while all households had less slack in their budgets in 2014 than in 2004, lower-income households went into the red by over $2,300. In other words, approximately one third of American households were no longer ablv to cover the core necessities - food, housing and transportation - with average income.

Then they regained some of that lost wealth, holding 50% again by 2007″. I would add that something very disturbing is at work, today, as opposed to how things were in 1929. What is different is that the American corporate structure is based upon the concepts of merger acquisition and subsidiary holdings. When factors in what one controls, as opposed to what one owns, it is easy to see that the bulk of the American people are left to fight over the meager crumbs that criminal elite leave on the floor and this is why America is so angry.

I didn’t always lie. No, I used to tell the truth. Then one day I told a lie, and I got away with it. Yeah, I told my parents that I had a brother that they had never met… -Jon-the-Liar Lovitz, The Johnny Carson Show, March 28, 1985
As the character Jon Lovitz explained on The Johnny Carson Show, lying is habit-forming. If perpetuated, it becomes compulsive conduct. Lying is a form of deviant behavior that (in the eyes of the liar) makes problems go away. Of course such problems never disappear permanently, because a lie can never solve anything. At some point the problem resurfaces, and because it never was addressed, often the problem has grown even larger.

How many startups are empty shells filled with glitzy PR designed to appeal to VC newbies?
It’s widely accepted that most tech startups will fail. Perhaps the core business proposition didn’t pan out, or the execution was flawed, or the initial success foundered on poor management, or another startup scaled up fast enough to suck up all the oxygen in the room–there are many reasons a startup with a fair chance at success can fail.
But what if many if not most of the current batch of startups have zero chance of succeeding because they’re nothing but empty shells of gaseous public relations? Coder Daniel C. recently shared his experiences interviewing at numerous tech firms, both established firms and startups.

There are many signs pointing to a false flag attack in Brussels on 3-22-16. Independent and alternative media, as usual, has been right on top of the story catching many of the usual oddities, lies and coincidences which are characteristic of false flags and are now piling on top of each other as they always do. And here’s another thing everyone should take note of. Something we also observed during the Paris attacks on 11-13-15. As we saw in the Paris attacks, once again we’re seeing a “global” component to the “reaction” phase of the usual problem-reaction-solution dialectic employed by the controllers. Look for it. Problem at point A, subsequent “reaction” to the problem at point B, all the way on the other side of the world. This then leads to a “solution” that applies to both point A and B. This also serves to endorse the illusion that the boogeymen, in this case ISIS of course, involved in the Brussels attack are somehow everywhere at once.

On Sunday, police were called to investigate a group of “campers” in California. The men were detained and questioned by local police and FBI. No crime was committed, police said, yet the FBI hinted at investigating further.
A 911 call to the Victor Valley Sheriff’s Station reported that “100 shots were heard and 5 to 7 subjects wearing turbans were seen in the area shooting assault rifles, handguns, and shotguns.”
The incident occurred in the area of Deep Creek Hot Springs in the Mojave Desert in San Bernardino County, California. The men were also heard “chanting,” according to news reports.

The U.S. State Department does not want the government of Syria to defeat or weaken ISIS, at least not if doing so means any sort of gain for the Syrian government. Watching a recent video of a State Department spokesperson speaking on that subject might confuse some U.S. war supporters. I doubt many residents of Palmyra, Virginia, or Palmyra, Pennsylvania, or Palmyra, New York could give a coherent account of the U.S. government’s position on which enemy should control the ancient Palmyra in Syria.
The U.S. government has been arming Al Qaeda in Syria. I doubt many people in the United States, of whatever political extraction, could explain why.
