Former White House Official Warns The World Is Dangerously Close To Collapse

from KingWorldNews:
Eric King: “What is the great danger facing the world as we head into 2015?”
Dr. Malmgren: “There is a risk that this period of history might end up being parallel to 1922 – 1923 in Germany. As you recall, that was a period when the central banks started really expanding the money supply and thinking they could control the outcome at a later date. It turned out they couldn’t and it really got out of control in a couple of years. Then we had the dreadful hyperinflation that we refer to in the Weimar Republic….
King World News note: The Weimar Republic hyperinflation chart below shows one gold Mark collapsing in value from a level of one Mark for one gold unit in 1918, all the way to an astonishing one trillion Marks for the same unit of gold by 1923.

The New York Federal Reserve Has Signaled the End of the Dollar Is Near

by Dave Hodges, The Common Sense Show:
Ultimately, this article is written for individuals who are naive enough to believe that 2015 will look and feel like 2014. The banksters have positioned world events, both militarily and economically, to make 2015 a pivotal year in world history.
Goldman Sachs Leads the Charge to Armageddon
Twenty one months ago, in response to the undeniable Goldman Sachs chicanery with regard to the manipulation of the gold market, I wrote the following:

The Confiscation of Bank Deposits and The Derivative Debt — Ellen Brown

from GlobalResearchTV:
Last month’s G20 Summit in Australia came and went without the protests and riots we’ve come to expect at the summit in recent years. But as author and researcher Ellen Brown notes, the real fireworks happened behind closed doors, where the group rubber stamped new regulations that will make Cyprus style bank bail-ins a worldwide reality.

The Terrible Truth about the Money in Your Pocket

by Joshua Krause, The Daily Sheeple:
Reach into your pocket right now and pull out one of those righteous dollar bills you own. Take a good look at, in all its green and symbol laden glory. Have you ever stopped and asked yourself “What is this really worth?”
If you asked an economist, he’d probably try to compare its value to a commodity or another currency. If you asked a blue collar worker he’d tell you that it’s food on the table. Or if you asked a white collar office drone, he or she would tell you that it’s freedom. If you asked a politician, he’d tell you that money equals votes (off the record of course). And if you asked a banker, well…he’d probably speak into his watch and say “I’ve got one that can see!”

Who Is Behind The Oil War, And How Low Will The Price Of Crude Go In 2015?

by Michael Snyder, The Economic Collapse Blog:
Who is to blame for the staggering collapse of the price of oil?  Is it the Saudis?  Is it the United States?  Are Saudi Arabia and the U.S. government working together to hurt Russia?  And if this oil war continues, how far will the price of oil end up falling in 2015?  As you will see below, some analysts believe that it could ultimately go below 20 dollars a barrel.  If we see anything even close to that, the U.S. economy could lose millions of good paying jobs, billions of dollars of energy bonds could default and we could see trillions of dollars of derivatives related to the energy industry implode.  The global financial system is already extremely vulnerable, and purposely causing the price of oil to crash is one of the most deflationary things that you could possibly do.  Whoever is behind this oil war is playing with fire, and by the end of this coming year the entire planet could be dealing with the consequences.

Food Stamps, Subprime and Hyperinflation

by Dr. Jeffrey Lewis, Silver-coin-investor:
The next generation will look back at the current period with utter astonishment. The archives will be riddled with debates and all manner of euphemisms for what led to the collapse of the world’s first and last fiat reserve currency.
It is a process well underway. Take a look at two seemingly unrelated, though current, economic-financial trends: Food stamps and subprime.
The case of spending compared with risk. Food assistance is but a tiny tributary broken off from a massive river of denial.

Japan On Track For A Textbook Bust

by Claudio Grass, Global Gold, via The Daily Coin:
Recently, we wrote a paper about the dynamics behind the boom and bust cycles, based on the view of the Austrian School (the Austrian Business Cycle Theory, or ABCT). The key takeaway was that central banks don’t help in smoothing the amplitude of the cycles, but rather are the cause of cycles.
Business cycles are a direct result of excessive credit flow into the market, facilitated by an intentionally low interest rate set by the government.
The problem with ongoing monetary policies is that the excessive money supply sends the wrong signals to the market, which ultimately leads to misallocation of investments or ‘malinvestments’.

Scenes From a (Suddenly) Nude Beach

by John Rubino, Dollar Collapse:
Warren Buffett’s classic observation that “You only see who’s swimming naked when the tide goes out” is being tossed around more frequently these days, as the world gets yet another deflation scare. Zero Hedge just published a great piece on this topic, which should be read in its entirety. In the meantime here’s a summary of the story with a few added bits.
Let’s begin with the common sense premise that overly-easy money sends a false-positive signal to market participants, leading them to buy and build things that maybe shouldn’t be bought or built. Then, when money goes back to a more reasonable price, the bad decisions (malinvestment in economist-speak) are revealed and financial turmoil ensues.

2015 Will Be All About Iran, China and Russia

from The Burning Platform:
Fasten your seatbelts; 2015 will be a whirlwind pitting China, Russia and Iran against what I have described as the Empire of Chaos.
So yes – it will be all about further moves towards the integration of Eurasia as the US is progressively squeezed out of Eurasia. We will see a complex geostrategic interplay progressively undermining the hegemony of the US dollar as a reserve currency and, most of all, the petrodollar.For all the immense challenges the Chinese face, all over Beijing it’s easy to detect unmistakable signs of a self-assured, self-confident, fully emerged commercial superpower. President Xi Jinping and the current leadership will keep investing heavily in the urbanization drive and the fight against corruption, including at the highest levels of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Internationally, the Chinese will accelerate their overwhelming push for new ‘Silk Roads’ – both overland and maritime – which will underpin the long-term Chinese master strategy of unifying Eurasia with trade and commerce.

History Lesson: America Is the Same ‘Ol Oligarchy It Was over a Century Ago

from TRUTHstreammedia:

(Truthstream Media) When Americans see charts like this one which illustrate that virtually all the food on grocery store shelves basically comes from no more than 10 megacompanies, or hear statements like this one from our own Attorney General Eric Holder who told the Senate Judiciary Committee that some banks are just too big to prosecute, or check out studies like this one out of Princeton which openly declare we are not a democracy but an oligarchy…it’s kinda hard to believe we aren’t an oligarchy (because we are).
Come on, even our Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen (you know, the lady that runs the place that prints our money and sells it to us with interest) has basically admitted it.

Big Banks Conspire with Giant Oil Company to Manipulate Currency Markets

from Washington’s Blog:

It has long been known that currency markets are massively rigged. And see this, this, and this.
But the banks not only shared confidential information with each other … they also shared it with a giant oil company.
Bloomberg reports this week:
With revenue of almost $400 billion last year and operations in about 80 countries, BP trades large quantities of currency each day. Traders at the company regularly received valuable information from counterparts at some of the world’s biggest banks — including tips about forthcoming trades, details of confidential client business and discussions of stop-losses, the trigger points for a flurry of buying or selling — according to four traders with direct knowledge of the practice.

Pink-haired ‘Nerd’ Uses 9/11 Truth Websites to Show NASA How Physics Works!

from AE 911 Truth:
In a recent episode of the TBS reality show King of the Nerds, a bubbly, pink-haired video game blogger named Danielle was the unlikely winner of one phase of a science-related competition that pitted her against a NASA engineer and three other contenders. The most intriguing aspect of her upset win was that Danielle used “9/11 conspiracy” websites to outsmart her rivals.
“I just beat a NASA scientist in physics,” a bemused Danielle beamed, then added, “What the f%^k?” She went on to thank “all the conspiracy theorists of America.”

UK banks ‘too weak’ to survive another recession

from Patriot Rising:
Former Bank of England governor Mervyn King has warned that British banks are too weak to weather another financial crisis, adding that government officials haven’t “got to the heart” of what went wrong in 2008.
Speaking to BBC Radio 4 on Monday, King criticized current measures being taken by the BoE to stabilize the economy, including keeping interest rates at a record low – currently at 0.5 percent – for more than five years.
“I don’t think we’re yet at the point where we can be confident that the banking system would be entirely safe,” he told the program.

For CNBC, 2014 Was The Worst. Year. Ever.

Another year of putting lipstick on the zombie known as the global economy, kept walking only thanks to $11 trillion in liquidity injections by the world's central banks and tens of trillions of new Chinese credit created out of thin air and promptly misallocated and embezzled, and the results are in. The bottom line: according to Nielsen, is that despite the S&P recording a whopping 53 all time highs, and the Dow rising over 18,000, the channel that was once must watch financial TV for mom and pop, and has since devolved into endless cheerleading of failed policies and rigged markets, namely CNBC, just suffered its worst year in, well, ever.

 


Weaponized Ebola? ISIS Militants Said To Contract Deadly Virus

Forget targeted US airstrikes, ISIS faces a new existential threat. Citing an unnamed source in a Mosul hospital, Iraq's official pro-government newspaper, al Sabaah, said Ebola arrived in Mosul from "terrorists" who came "from several countries" and Africa. Mashable further confirms, three outlets reported that Ebola showed up at a hospital in Mosul. For now, it's unclear if any disease experts or doctors in Mosul are even able to test for the Ebola virus; but it would mark the first time the virus had been detected in an area controlled by ISIS, a group that doesn't embrace science and modern medicine.

US Ally, Saudi Arabia Beheads 87 In 2014, Up Over 10% From 2013

It was a good year for those long 'beheadings'. After a solid 79 head-removals in 2013, 2014 surged 10% higher with a recent record 87 beheadings overall (following a surge since August for crimes such as "drug smuggling, witchcraft, or sorcery"). The 'State' responsible for all these executions... not ISIS, but US ally, Saudi Arabia...
