The US Dollar’s Star Will Soon Flame Out
These days it seems that everywhere you turn, the signs are there
that the petro-dollar-juiced system is coming unglued. The gale-force
winds that have been driving the world to de-dollarize have now
literally become almost a raging storm. I’ve always believed that this
would indeed be the end game which we’re now witnessing playing out, but
currently, even I’m bowled over at how fast the whole deck of cards is being reshuffled.Speaking of reshuffling, over the weekend, several more prominent countries have all but joined China’s regional bank, the AIIB. The East’s star continues to rise to the heavens, as the credit lifeline of the West gets nearer to the end of its rope. We’re not talking about some two-bit players either, these newest nations to sign onto this project are some real doozies! Let’s examine these newest signees together, and discuss the implications.

In an explosive interview on “The Real Deal”,
Maret Tsarnaev, the aunt of Tamerlan and Dzhokar Tsarnaev, the alleged
“Boston bombers”, which has been proven to have been a drill where no
one died, explained that even the footage of the two brothers at the
Boston Marathon is fake, where Tamerlan, for example, had a beard
before and after the Marathon but is clean-shaven in the “official
footage”. [NOTE: The interview was initially blocked worldwide!]We have footage of Tamerlan and Dzhokhar working out at the Wai Kru gym on April 12th, where he has a well-trimmed beard; We have what purport to be photos of him at the Marathon on April 15th, where he is clean shaven. We have photos of him on April 18th, where he again has a beard. Even the photos of his arrest and of his body after he has been killed show that he was still sporting the well-trimmed beard!

“Our friend and fellow market veteran, Jim Brown over at Option
Investor took a look at some seasonal factors in his market note over
the weekend. Here’s a bit:
April has been the best performing month for the Dow since 1950. Over the last 20 years the Dow has posted gains 16 times with an average of +0.56%. Granted that is not much and only equates to about 90 points. The first trading day of April is the worst “post holiday” session of the year. However, the first two weeks of April are normally bullish with an average gain of +1.22%. The average gain for the first two weeks of the other 11 months is only 0.3%.

from Paul Craig Roberts:
Nuclear weapons are no longer restrained by the Cold War MAD doctrine.
Washington has released them into pre-emptive first strike form.
The targets of these pre-emptive strikes–Russia and China–know it, because Washington proudly proclaims its immorality in public documents describing its war doctrine.
The result is to maximize the chance of nuclear war. If you were Russia and China, and you knew that Washington had a war doctrine that permits a surprise nuclear attack, would you sit there waiting while Washington cranks up its anti-Russian and anti-Chinese propaganda machine, demonizing both countries as a threat to “freedom and democracy”?

Summing Up The Total Chaos That Reigns In Greek "Negotiations"
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/30/2015 - 19:27 Forget Pyrrhic victories, the more Greek tongues that wag, the clearer it becomes that no one appears to have a clue what is going on. The contradictory tone from various Syriza members has allowed the opposition to sit quietly by (with the odd jab from Samaras) and watch the collapse unfold. The more threats and promises Tsipras makes, the more cornered he becomes as cash outflows accelerate and cash demands loom. It appears all over bar the printing as both sides are now just posturing for who bears the blame for the ultimat exit, as one wit noted, "once you remove walking away from a deal as an option, you are no longer negotiating."
How Money Creation Threatens Hyperinflation

JP Morgan Has A "Problem" With Emerging Markets
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/30/2015 - 17:00 Despite what may look to be "cheap" valuations, JPM calls the EM contrarian approach “tactically challenging” thanks to leverage, a difficult environment for economic growth and Janet Yellen. "Each of these is a problem, in our view. In combination, they could be a serious problem," the bank notes.

Is this roundup taking place in China, Iran or Russia? As many already
know, this recently took place in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida in which
“pretend” dissidents are rounded up as part of the Jade Helm 15 drill.
Please note the straight line and the hands on the shoulders of those in
front of them, as they were swept away to waiting white vans. We are
witnessing the implementation of the Fourth Reich.
I think it is logical to assume that Jade Helm 15 will go live and it is a martial law extraction of dissidents exercise to be followed by full scale martial law. I have received many inquiries about when I believe martial law will be declared. Despite all the documentation and anecdotal evidence, on my own, I am not able to precisely determine the time of the implementation of martial law on the streets of America.

Goldman's "Excel Fat Finger" - Says Earlier GDP Estimate Was A Mistake, Lowers Q1 GDP Tracking To Just 0.8%
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/30/2015 - 15:09 "We made an error in our original estimate of the GDP tracking implications of the February PCE report. We have now reduced our Q1 GDP tracking estimate to +0.8%. We regret the mistake.""It's Not Bearish, It's Simply Sane"
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/30/2015 - 14:57 In all the annals of investing, few seemingly innocuous phrases incorporate as much by way of grave implication as those four words, “a shift to banknotes”. 2008 was bad. With central bank policy now at the outer reaches of the possible and even of the theoretical, the outlook is certainly uncertain. Not wishing to participate in the terminal stages of a momentum-driven bubble is not bearish so much as simply sane.
The Latest "Conspiracy Theory" In Iraq: Accusations Emerge That US Is Aiding ISIS

Abed al-Maliki, a senior Iraqi army commander based in the city of Samarra, about 80 miles north of Baghdad, using another term for the Islamic State. “It’s just a show,” he said, sitting in the city’s army command headquarters. “If the Americans want to finish something, they will finish it. If they wanted to liberate Iraq, they could.”

Reuters Asks "Who Is More Of A Threat: Obama Or Putin", Surprised By The Answer
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/30/2015 - 12:21 People in the United States feel under threat, both from beyond our borders and within them and as Reuters reports, when asked about both U.S. President Barack Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin, it was a pretty darn close call. A new Reuters/Ipsos poll finds a third of Republicans believe President Barack Obama poses an imminent threat to the United States, outranking concerns about Russian President Vladimir Putin and Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Meanwhile, the world is certainly worried about America with about one quarter (of respondents from 65 countries) naming the United States as the greatest threat to world peace.
They Are "Undermining People's Trust In Their Money"
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/30/2015 - 11:06 Surely the thinking folk out there must be asking themselves: what is the way out of this Federal Reserve three-card-monte, one-percenter-stuffing, so-called “economy,” and what is the destination of this society when that mendacious model for living fails? There really is no free lunch or get-out-of-jail card. The truth is, when you rig a money system with price interventions, distortions, and perversions, they will eventually express themselves in ways destructive to the system.
from SGT Report.com:Our favorite economic and trends analyst in the world, Gerald Celente from the TRENDS JOURNAL returns to SGT Report to discuss the current state of affairs in the United States and beyond. SGT Report contributor Mark S. Mann also joins in on the conversation.
As for our elected “representatives”, the Republicans and Democrats, Gerald says, “They’re murderers and thieves. They murder millions of people in the name of bringing ‘freedom and democracy’ to a country near you, and steal our money in the name of too big to fail bailouts, loan guarantees, special tax breaks and other dirty deals – and the people KNOW IT.”
As we dive deeper into the interview, Mark asks Gerald about Benjamin Netanyahu’s recent speech in front of the US Congress and the $6 BILLION in “aid” the US government gives to Israel annually, Gerald explains that Israel is a nuclear power and an apartheid state – and sounding a lot like Dr. Ron Paul, Celente explains, “I’m against giving money to Israel as I am against giving it to any other country. This country is rotting in front of us. The infrastructure stinks. The country’s going downhill. I don’t want my money going to Israel, to Italy, to Ireland, I don’t want it going any where. And when you talk about Israel, the people try to attack you with this cheap BS line of ‘anti-Semitism,’. Let’s get this straight: Israel’s a country, it’s not a religion.”

The biotech giant known as Monsanto is facing major financial downturn amid the backlash from consumers over their concerning GMO creations and the international rejection of various GMO exports following the confirmation of crop contamination across the United States.
Going further into 2015, it’s clear that this GMO behemoth has many more obstacles to face that will most likely lead to a continued loss. Here are the top 5 reasons Monsanto will continue to lose money (and at the very least, reputation) in 2015 and beyond.
1. 96% Want Their GMOs Labeled
Not 30%. Not 75%. Not even 85%. A powerful 96 plus percent of individuals within the United States are in serious favor of labeling Monsanto’s GMOs. And despite Monsanto’s millions defeating many labeling campaigns within various states like California, public resistance is catching up.

In terms of monetary policy, the Federal Reserve and Treasury became
concerned about the inflationary potential of excess reserves in the
banking system and large gold inflows, and therefore decided to double
reserve requirements and sterilize gold inflows. – Douglass Irwin, Dartmouth College 2011,
in reference to the decision in January 1937 byTreasury Secretary Henry
Morgenthau to block the use of gold in the monetary system.
As you can see from the quote above, the U.S. Government has been manipulating gold for much longer than anyone understands. In fact, FDR temporarily disconnected the dollar completely from the gold standard in 1933.

power with the Houthis and the coalition of northern Yemenese tribes
that had helped them enter Sana. Al-Hadi declared that negotiations for a
Yemeni national unity government would take place and his allies the US
and Saudi Arabia tried to use a new national dialogue and mediated
talks to co-opt and pacify the Houthis.

Until March 31 countries can submit for membership of the Asian
Investment Infrastructure Bank (AIIB), a financial institution proposed
by China, which has the purpose of being a multilateral framework to
finance infrastructure projects in the wide Eurasian region. In recent
weeks many Western countries have submitted for membership, the US
rejected application as it fears strong cooperation between Asia and
Europe will weaken the US dollar hegemony. On April 15 the final list of
the founding members will be disclosed.
In October 2013 the initial idea for the AIIB was first put forward by Chinese President Xi Jingping “on constructing a 21st Century Maritime Silk Road to promote maritime cooperation”. The project has currently developed into the New Silk Road Economic Belt.
