One Last Look At The Real Economy Before It Implodes - Part 4

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/10/2015 - 18:40
The implosion of America serves a very particular purpose. It is not a product of blind coincidence, fate, political stupidity or corporate greed. It is an engineered event meant to clear the way for an even more sinister economic environment designed to establish a final economic empire with the purpose of permanently enslaving us all.

Dust Bowl 2.0: California's Historic Drought About To Get Even Worse As "Snowpack Melts Early Across The West"

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/10/2015 - 15:46 It has been a bad year for California whose drought is rapidly approaching historic proportions: according to the LA Times, which cites climatologist Michael Anderson, "you’re looking on numbers that are right on par with what was the Dust Bowl." And it is about to get even worse. According to the USDA, the west-wide snowpack is melting earlier than usual, according to data from the fourth 2015 forecast by the United States Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). "Almost all of the West Coast continues to have record low snowpack," NRCS Hydrologist David Garen said. "March was warm and dry in most of the West; as a result, snow is melting earlier than usual."

White House Admits, US States Need To Be Better Prepared For Fiscal Volatility

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/10/2015 - 21:00 “What the Great Recession has shown is that things have fundamentally changed,” The White House warned this week and, as Bloomberg reports, states would have to cut spending or raise revenue by a combined $21 billion in the event of a recession, further exacerbating economic weakness, Moody’s Analytics found in a stress test of state finances. While investors are willingly buying bonds with both hands and feet, The White House warns, states "need to be much more prepared for very volatile fiscal conditions than they had been in the past."
 



 

Germany Orders 100 Tanks To "Ensure Troops Are Ready To Respond To Russian Assertiveness"

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/10/2015 - 19:51 With Jean-Claude Juncker demanding a Unified European Army, it appears Germany is wasting no time in simultaneously boosting its own economy with warfare spending and comforting a 'fearful populace' with more military might. As Reuters reports, Germany plans to procure more than 100 additional Leopard 2 tanks, increasing its total Leopard 2 tank inventory by a whopping 45% a government spokesman said on Friday, as it seeks to ensure its "troops are ready for action in response to concerns over recent Russian assertiveness."

“There is No Horror That Cannot Occur Once Economic Order Collapses” — Jeff Nielson

by SGT, SGT Report.com:
“There is no horror that cannot occur in human society, once economic order collapses,” so says Jeff Nielson from Bullion Bulls Canada.com.



As the world prepares for economic life after the Dollar, Jeff and I examine the quantifiable data that proves Americans are living on borrowed time. There is absolutely no way the US Dollar can survive the mounting tsunami of debt accumulated by government spending that has been out of control for decades. As the world prepares for the day of reckoning, most Americans are blissfully unaware of what’s coming.
Join us to examine the REALITY of the global economic situation, as we document the collapse for April, 2015.

 

Fed’s Ability to Create Money From Thin Air

by Martin Armstrong, Armstrong Economics:
QUESTION:  Thank you for the explanation about what fractional banking is. It clarifies the real intent and impact of this issue on the economy. Would you please then explain what quantitative easing is? It appears as if this is indeed the creation of money out of thin air. – cs
ANSWER: This is a different animal altogether. The Federal Reserve was created with the power to create an ELASTIC money supply – this is not a power of individual banks. The theory was that when a economic contraction takes place, the Fed should be able to TEMPORARILY increase the money supply. They have the ability to increase the supply of money to offset the contraction, which is the moment where markets seek to reach equilibrium. The LEVERAGED money created by lending allows the economic growth and that accelerates the value of assets. When the recession/depression comes, people sell the assets reversing the leverage in pursuit of cash.

Savage Police State Beat Down: Video Captures Eight Cops Pistol-Whipping, Punching and Kicking Man Over 50 Times After He Surrenders

by Mac Slavo, SHTFPlan:

Eight San Bernardino County sheriff’s deputies are under investigation after a police helicopter captured a savage beating of a suspected horse thief. The latest incident shows, yet again, the culture of violence and total disregard for the rule of law that exists within America’s police departments from coast to coast.
As you’ll see in the following footage, captured live and apparently without the knowledge of officers on the scene, it’s not just about the color of one’s skin. Francis Jared Pusok, the man shown being tased, pistol-whipped to the head, punched, and kicked, is white. And while his record of resisting arrest, animal cruelty and robbery are certainly an indicator of his propensity for criminal activities, does it justify the life-threatening beat down dished out to him by officers of the law?

by Kurt Nimmo, Infowars:
Police records reveal the close relationship between the Minneapolis Police Department and the U.S. Military.
Public Record Media, a Minnesota-based nonprofit organization that uses freedom of information laws to obtain and publish government records, has released documents showing how the Minneapolis Police Department and the Minneapolis city government worked hand-in-hand with the Pentagon to conduct counter-terrorism training operations in the city without informing the public.
The August 2014 exercise included ground operations and low-flying black helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft. Training specifics included “low visibility movement, low-altitude precision helicopter operations, surveillance, and counter-surveillance.”

Monsanto Profits Fall Another 15% In April

by Anthony Gucciardi, Natural Society:

Monsanto is continuing to lose profits into the second quarter of 2015, shedding an exceptional 15% profit amid falling GMO seed sales — even more than most experts projected.
In fact, many backers were absolutely certain that Monsanto would regain its footing after losing millions in last year’s fourth quarter. Some economists believed that Monsanto’s ‘tried and true’ strategy of pushing GMO seeds on farmers would sustain them into the first quarter of 2015. Before the latest announcement of financial loss, I predicted that Monsanto would in fact continue to lose money, as both the agricultural industry and consumers at large take a major stand against anything to do with the company:

“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… That said, it is clear to me that Monsanto’s continued decline is in full swing.”

Take Your Money Out of the Bank Before Jade Helm Ushers in Martial Law

by Dave Hodges, The Common Sense Show:
As Jade Helm forces are preparing to tighten the martial law noose around our collective necks, most Americans are on verge of losing everything.
I am continuing to receive dozens of emails, by the day, which detail the increased military presence and preparations for the Jade Helm forces all around the country.
Among the more disturbing images I was sent, was from talk show host and health expert, Ted Broer (see above), as he captured the image of an M1 Abrams tanks near his neighborhood on a nearby toll road.
