Just to confirm that if the US had hoped it could threaten Beijing into submission and force the Politburo into curbing its expanionist appetit, it was dead wrong, the nationalist Global Times, a paper owned by the ruling Communist Party’s official newspaper, the People’s Daily, said in a Monday editorial that war was “inevitable” between China and the United States unless Washington stopped demanding Beijing halt the building of artificial islands in the disputed waterway.
Must be a warning for a False Flag event...
With nuclear material having been stolen
on multiple occasions in Mexico, and close terrorist ties to
intelligence organizations in the middle east, it appears that if an
organization was committed to acquiring nuclear material they could do
so. Finding the scientists to build such a weapon, whether dirty or
actual, wouldn’t be all that difficult. Moreover, smuggling such a
device into the U.S. is possible, as evidenced by a 2011 report
which confirms that at least one nuclear weapon of mass destruction was seized as it entered the United States.According to a report from Zero Hedge, such a plan may be in the works over the next twelve months, as the Islamic State claims it may be actively pursuing a nuclear weapon intended for detonation on American soil.

Greece Was 20 Votes Away From Defaulting This Weekend
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/25/2015 - 20:20 Over the weekend, in a surprisingly close vote showing just how deeply the ruling Greek Syriza party has splintered, the hard line "Left Platform" a faction within Syriza, proposed that Greece stop paying its creditors if they continue with "blackmailing tactics" and instead seek "an alternative plan" for the debt-racked country. Its motion called for the government to default on the IMF loans rather than compromise to creditor demands, among which a change to value-added tax rates, further liberalization of the labor market and changes to the pension system, including further cuts to pensions and wages. According to the NYT, which reported the vote first, the proposal was narrowly rejected, with 95 people voting against and 75 in favor.
from Armstrong Economics:
I have been warning for some time that government was eyeing up pensions.The amount in private pension funds is about $19.4 trillion. The question that has been debated in secret behind the curtain is how to justify to the people taking that over. I have been warning that if this is seized by government, it will come after 2015.75. Just how that is to be accomplished was finally settled by the Supreme Court without any justification constitutionally.
The US Supreme Court ruled last week in the unanimous, 8-page decision in Tibble v. Edison holding that employers have a duty to protect workers in their 401(k) plans from mutual funds that are too expensive or perform poorly. That is simply astonishing since there is no constitutional requirement for even government to provide social benefits. The Supreme court held in HARRIS v. McRAE, 448 U.S. 297 (1980) it was explained that the constitution is negative not positive. There is no duty imposed upon the state to provide a program for that would convert the constitution from a negative restrain upon government to a positive obligation to provide for everyone.

As already described in the last edition, the cash situation in Europe
is coming to a head. France is toughening the rules on cash
transactions as of summer and also Sweden and Greece are getting
serious: cash payments will be limited to EUR 70 (i.e. USD 79).
Alarm bells sound as the ECB announces a conference on cash in London. Both the event‘s title „Solution in case of emergency“ as well as the speaker and participants list bode ill. Representatives from the Fed, the Swiss and Danish central banks as well as other Eurozone regulators will hang on the lips of such infamous cash adversaries as Kenneth Rogoff (Harvard) and Willem Buiter (Citigroup). Citizens will have to suffer should these fantasies come true.

There Is No Longer A Market: Citigroup Confirms What Zero Hedge Has Said Since 2009
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/25/2015 - 17:13 "Zero Hedge long ago gave up discussing corporate fundamentals due to our long-held tenet that currently the only relevant pieces of financial information are contained in the Fed's H.4.1, H.3 statements... it is flow not stock that matters" - Zero Hedge, January 2010"If there were any lingering doubt, this week’s gyrations demonstrate neatly that it is central bank liquidity, not fundamentals, driving markets. It is the flow, not the anticipated stock, of QE which counts." - Citigroup, May 2015
Inflation Watch: Prices To "The Happiest Place On Earth" Are Up 2900% Since 1971
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/25/2015 - 16:30 Having previously shown that money can buy happiness, it appears, as Bloomberg reports, that the cost of buying that happiness is soaring. With well-managed government-provided statistics on inflation, why would one look elsewhere for clues as to the declining standards of living across much of America... but look we did and with wages stagnant, the 2900% surge in prices to Disneyland since 1971 makes 'the happeist place on earth' a place only the wealthy can afford to visit.
The Case For Nationalizing Monsanto
Ridding the world of Monsanto via a state buy-out would be a boon to humanity, and doing so for a mere $57 billion would be a bargain - especially when you consider the $3 trillion the state has squandered on endless wars of choice and the trillions of dollars the Federal Reserve and the government have squandered propping up the self-serving, parasitic cartel of too big to jail banks.

Israel Refuses To Pay Old Oil Debt To Iran
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/25/2015 - 13:30 Israel is refusing to comply with an order by a Swiss court that it pay $1.1 billion that it has owed to Tehran since before Iran’s 1979 Islamic revolution for its share of a jointly owned oil pipeline. “Without referring to the matter at hand, we’ll note that according to the Trading with the Enemy Act it is forbidden to transfer money to the enemy, including the Iranian national oil company,” the Israeli Finance Ministry said in a statement.
US Accuses Iraq Army Of Cowardice, Says "More Firepower Support" Needed Against ISIS
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/25/2015 - 13:00 “The Iraqi forces just showed no will to fight. They were not outnumbered. In fact they vastly outnumbered the opposing force and yet they failed to fight and withdrew from the site...We can give them training, we can give them equipment. We obviously can’t give them the will to fight.”Mario Draghi's Slippery Downward Slope
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/25/2015 - 11:05 There has to be a very clear line between central banks and governments. The latter should never be able to influence the former, because it would risk making economic policy serve only short term interests (until the next election). Likewise the former should stay out of the latter’s decisions, because that would tend to make political processes skewed disproportionally towards finance and the economy, at the potential cost of other interests in a society. This may sound idealistic and out of sync with the present day reality, but if it does, that does not bode well. It’s dangerous to play fast and loose with the founding principles of individual countries, and perhaps even more with those of unions of sovereign nations.
China Stocks Surge, Europe/US Purge, & Portuguese Bonds Are Crashing
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/25/2015 - 10:00 Between escalating Grexit concerns and Podemos 'victory' in Spain, European bond and stock markets shuddered somewhat today. EURUSD continues to close lower - back below 1.1000. All major bourses across Europe are in the red with Greece and Spain worst (ASE -3%) but the most notable shift is a collapse in Poruguese bonds. Illiquidity has always been an issue for PORTUG bonds but today's near 4 point collapse in 10Y bond prices (and 48bps spike in spreads) is dramatic to say the least. Bond yields and spreads are now higher than before Draghi announced Q€ in January and dramatically higher since bond-buying began. If EU leaders proclaim they can see no contagion from Greece, show them these charts. Finally, despite cash markets being closed, US equity futures also suffered (despite an exuberant BTFD rip higher in China overnight).
The Birds & The Bees: Suicide By Pesticide
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/25/2015 - 18:00 What the honey-bee die-off means for humanity...It’s Memorial Day weekend in the U.S.A. and there’s another important part of history, dare we say Forbidden, that will not be televised. Lest we forget…
Retired Major General Smedley Butler was onto something in 1933, when he was recruited to be a “gangster for capitalism” by a group of wealthy Americans calling themselves the “American Liberty League”. Damn interesting, indeed.
If you know your history, you know that in 1934 there was an attempted coup in the United States that was thwarted largely due to the efforts of U.S. Marine Corps Major General Smedley Butler(ret.)

Nature has provided thousands of natural medicines and natural antibiotics over millennia.
Most people are unaware, but virtually all pharmaceutical medications
originally came from the plants of the Earth. After they were proven
effective in treating various ailments, the pharmaceutical industry then
created synthetic variants which they could patent. In this way, they
retained the exclusive rights to earn revenues from their patents over a
specific period of time.The point is that every medicine under the sun originated as an herb or a spice, a tree leaf or shrub root, a berry or a fruit. Fortunately, some of these same medicinals function as very efficacious natural antibiotics. Especially when they are prepared properly, these potent medicines can produce the desired effects without many of the adverse side-effects associated with pharmaceutical-grade antibiotics.

The more subtle side of satanism in Hollywood entertainment is now a
thing of the past, as primetime television airs blatantly evil shows
like the upcoming Fox drama Lucifer, which glorifies the goings about of
the “lord of hell” after he fictitiously leaves the lake of fire and
retires to Los Angeles.
The premise behind the absurd drama, which is set to release in 2016, centers around so-called “Lucifer Morningstar” and his new life as the owner of Lux, an upscale nightclub located in the City of Angels.
A trailer for the show portrays Lucifer as a handsome, British-accented, well-to-do ladykiller full of charm and wit.

One of the most dangerous challenges of the current times is presented
by the international terrorism, which is rapidly acquiring a political
nature and is being turned into a real force, striving to come to power
in certain countries.
We are witnessing a steady trend towards globalization of activities of extremist organizations. This includes a wide geographic spread, strengthening of the interaction between previously disparate groups, as well as swift adaptation to situational changes.
Among international terrorist organizations, the role of radical Islamists is increasing. Their leaders are developing collaboration and seek to create zones of instability, which include not only countries but entire regions.

The weapon in question: Boeing’s “CHAMP,” short for Counter-electronics High-powered Microwave Advanced Missile Project. It’s essentially the old nuclear electromagnetic pulse weapon that we used to worry so much about — but without the nuclear part. CHAMP carries a small generator that emits microwaves to fry electronics with pinpoint accuracy. It targets not nations or cities but individual buildings, blacking out their electronics rather than blowing up physical targets (or people)

from Paul Craig Roberts:
The past, especially the political past, doesn’t just provide clues to
the present. In the realm of the presidency and Wall Street, it provides
an ongoing pathway for political-financial relationships and policies
that remain a threat to the American economy going forward.
When Hillary Clinton video-announced her bid for the Oval Office, she claimed she wanted to be a “champion” for the American people. Since then, she has attempted to recast herself as a populist and distance herself from some of the policies of her husband. But Bill Clinton did not become president without sharing the friendships, associations, and ideologies of the elite banking sect, nor will Hillary Clinton. Such relationships run too deep and are too longstanding.
