This week’s revelation that the wealthy are
purchasing secret hideaways in remote locations in order to escape
social upheaval and possible riots is the culmination of Zbigniew
Brzezinski’s warning that a worldwide “political awakening” is serving
to derail the move towards further global centralization of power.
Economist Robert Johnson made headlines
at the recent Davos Economic Forum when he revealed that “hedge fund
managers all over the world….are buying airstrips and farms in places
like New Zealand because they think they need a getaway.”
Johnson cited income inequality and the potential for civil unrest and riots as the reason for the panic.

A lot of ultra-rich people are quietly preparing to “bug out” when the
time comes. They are buying survival properties, they are buying farms
in far away countries and they are buying deep underground bunkers. In
fact, a prominent insider at the World Economic Forum in Davos,
Switzerland says that “very powerful people are telling us they’re
scared” and he shocked his audience when he revealed that he knows
“hedge fund managers all over the world who are buying airstrips and
farms in places like New Zealand”. So what do they know? Why are so
many of the super wealthy suddenly preparing bug out locations? When
the elite of the world start preparing for doomsday, that is a very
troubling sign. And right now the elite appear to be quietly preparing
for disaster like never before.

There is growing unease in stock and bond markets around the world that
the current Chair of the U.S. Federal Reserve, Janet Yellen, has
retrieved former Fed Chair Alan Greenspan’s blinders out of the
mothballs in some musty old closet at the Fed, thus setting the U.S.
economy up for more epic convulsions.
Yesterday, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) released its policy statement and rattled markets here and abroad overnight. The statement contained a number of economic absurdities. The first sentence argued that “economic activity has been expanding at a solid pace” while a few sentences later we are told “inflation has declined further below the Committee’s longer-run objective.” A solid expansion simply does not correlate with declining inflation in the U.S. and mushrooming deflation among our trading partners.

We will find out the answer to the question posed in the title in the
outcome of the contest between the new Greek government, formed by the
political party Syriza, and the ECB and the private banks, with whose
interests the EU and Washington align against Greece. The Spartans,
whose red cloaks and military prowess struck fear into the hearts of
both foreign invaders and Greek opponents in the city-states, are no
more. Athens itself is a ruin of its historical self. The Greeks, who
were once to be contended with, who were able with 300 Spartans,
supplemented with a few thousand Corinthians, Thebans, and other
warriors, to stop a one hundred thousand man Persian army at
Thermopylae, with the final outcome being the defeat of the Persian
fleet in the Battle of Salamis and the defeat of the Persian army in the
Battle of Plataea, are no more.
The Greeks of history have become a people of legend. Not even the Romans were able to conquer Persia, but little more than a handful of Greeks stopped the attempted Persian conquest of Greece.
But the Greeks, despite their glorious history, could not stop their conquest by the EU and a handful of German and Dutch banks.

Can the dollar and gold continue to rise in tandem for long? The last
three months have seen a very peculiar dollar/gold anomaly. Since mid
November, gold (and silver) have “acted” very differently. We have seen
“outside days” and even an outside week. Gold has moved nearly $160 of
its lows for a rise of nearly 15%. This has happened while the dollar
has rallied furiously versus foreign currencies (with the exception of
the franc). From a “textbook” sense, this should never happen.
Actually, I am sure there are professors out there who would have argued
“it cannot happen” …but it has. Both the dollar and gold have rallied
at the same time, so far gold outpacing the dollar. But why? Why has
the tone for gold changed and why is it not “falling” versus a rising
dollar?
This is a very important question because the answer may (probably does) hold the key to which will be the ultimate winner and which may lose and lose big. First, the explanations for a strong dollar are twofold, one mainstream and the other probably the real reason. Mainstream says the dollar is getting stronger because the world is a mess and the dollar is the “cleanest dirty shirt” of the bunch.

Free speech is not a luxury and it is certainly not handed down to us

for Brisbane, Sydney, Adelaide, Melbourne, and Gold Coast. The reason
was due to pro-vaccine extremists calling for violence and making bomb

originally scheduled for the healthy living seminars.

Now we finally come to the real agenda of the vaccine industry. After vaccines have been repeatedly documented by the Natural News Lab to contain neurotoxic chemicals such as mercury, formaldehyde and MSG; after vaccine shots have been repeatedly shown to kill people who take them; and after flu shots have been exhaustively shown to be based on no science whatsoever — with vaccine manufacturers openly admitting there are no clinical trials to show they even work — the rabid vaccine pushers are unveiling their end game: throw vaccine resistors in prison.
This is the call by USA Today columnist Alex Berezow. “Parents who do not vaccinate their children should go to jail,” he writes in this USA Today column.

A critical, often forgotten event (especially by the French) occurred
on June 22, 1940. That was the day the French surrendered to the Nazis
and signed the armistice. Four days later, the Soviet Union made a
decision that ended up becoming one of the critical turning points of WW
II.
Initially, the Soviets planned on annexing parts of Romania via full-scale invasion. Sound familiar? I’ll touch on Crimea later in my missive, but for now, stick with me—this gets very interesting.
However, the military masters of the Soviet Union recognized that with the fall of France, out went the French guarantee of security at Romania’s borders.

"There Is No Reality Anymore..."
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/29/2015 - 18:15 "There is an uneasy feeling of discontent that sits deep in the stomach, beneath the day to day exteriors, of so many people today. I feel that reality is an old world term. There is no reality anymore. The ubiquitous flow of information ensures that the truth is always available but never known with certainty. It means there is no such thing as a reality check. It’s like that dream inside a dream inside a dream. Which reality is real anymore?"Janet Yellen Saves The Day: Stocks Soar After Fed Chairwoman Tells Democrats To BTFD

"The Thread By Which Venezuelan Socialism Hangs May Soon Snap"
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/29/2015 - 21:10 Say you are a socialist, and you have intervened heavily in the economy. Suddenly, things don’t work as you thought they would. Somehow, economic laws seem to refuse to bend to your will. However, you cannot really believe that since according to your convictions, wealth is a byproduct of government plans and decrees. So the solution to the unintended consequences of the initial intervention is to intervene further, in an attempt to refine the plan, so to speak. So you try again. And again. And again. Chances are, your name is Nicolas Maduro. In summary, the thread by which Venezuelan socialism hangs may soon snap.
"They're Out Of Their Minds" Gorbachev Slams US 'Triumphalism' For "Turning Cold War 'Hot'"
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/29/2015 - 19:55 In November of last year, Mikhail Gorbachev first warned "the world is on the brink of a new Cold War." Then around the turn of the year he escalated his warning, fearing "a war of this kind could lead to a nuclear war," hoping that no one "loses their nerve in this overheated situation." Today, in an interview with Russian news agency Interfax, the 83-year-old former Soviet leader, asks "have they lost their minds?" raging that "the U.S. has already dragged us into a new Cold War, trying to openly implement its idea of triumphalism," warning that "the 'cold' war will "lead to a 'hot' war," concluding "The U.S. has been totally 'lost in the jungle' and is dragging us there as well."

According To Citi, Small Hedge Funds May Have No Choice But To Become Paper Traders On Twitter
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/29/2015 - 19:05 “Poor performance will be most acutely felt by small hedge fund firms,” Sandy Kaul, global head of business advisory services at Citi. “These funds simply did not generate enough performance-fee revenues in 2014 to cover their gap.” In other words, "small" hedge funds, those who tried valiantly for 1, 2 or more years to generate alpha, and failed, well they can continue to manage "small" amounts of money, however it will be of the paper variety. Which they are welcome to do on the one venue which has taken over for Yahoo Finance as the sole place where everyone pretends to not only trade but certainly never have even a single losing day: Twitter.Alexis Tsipras Most Outrageous Outburst Yet?

WTF Chart Of The Day: Baltic Dry Index Crashes To Lowest In 29 Years

That is the lowest absolute level for the global shipping rates indicator since August 1986...
CME Hikes Silver Margins By 11%
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/29/2015 - 16:48 In a day in which silver was pounded the most since September 2013 without any fundamental reason to explain this weakness (aside for the extensively discussed Precious Metals-USDJPY funding pair trade, so favored by the central banks to punish gold/silver while pushing risk higher), many are wondering: what was the reason for this crash? Well, in a day in which Yellen now openly advised Democrats in a non-public setting about Fed policy, is it that ludicrous to assume that someone leaked the following announcement made after the close by the CME, namely that silver margins were just hiked by 11%?/
