"No one could have foreseen the turbulent times ahead on one spring day in 1770. The shadow of Versailles is packed to its gilded rafters with the glittering crowds of the royal court." Replace Versailles with modern day Monte Carlo, New York or St. Barts, and the "crowds of the royal court" with the "0.001%", and one can easily see why 'nobody' can foresee that which in retrospect will have been all too obvious, only not 250 years ago, but this very moment.

An otherwise poor and uninformative documentary (funded by Pennsylvania Public Television and Corporation for Public Broadcasting) on the US bombing and burning alive of 11 residents, adults and children, of the MOVE house in Philadelphia, 1985, begins with one minute (10:30 to 11:30) on the rarely-mentioned 1921 onslaught, aerial bombing, and incineration of the “Black Wall Street” business district of Tulsa, Oklahoma, in 1921, by white mobs, including the KKK and government forces.

Central banks are incapable of saving economies or creating growth. The only thing a central bank can do is create inflation. These market manipulators set forth on a journey seven years ago to save the world by engaging in massive monetary manipulation, euphemistically called Quantitative Easing (QE), and a zero interest rate policy known as (ZIRP)….
As I could have told them, all this easy money failed to create real growth. The economy, held back by massive debt levels, initially clocked in at 0.2% for the first quarter. This number is set to be revised down to negative territory due to a huge increase in the trade deficit during March. And the second half isn’t setting up to be much better.

Lapdogs, Redux: How The Press Tried To Discredit Seymour Hersh’s Last Bombshell Report
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/17/2015 - 17:30 Hersh has pissed off some very powerful people and institutions with this story, and that means the inevitable media pushback to discredit his reporting is already underway... He got the same hostile reaction from his media colleagues when he broke his biggest story of his career: The 1974 exposé of the CIA’s massive, illegal domestic spying program.China has the ability to crash the unstable US dollar with 30,000 tons of gold reserves, says Chinese economic observer Jin Zihou.
In a commentary posted online, Jin noted that former US Federal Reserve chair Alan Greenspan once said that the renminbi could become unexpectedly powerful in today’s financial system if Beijing would convert its US$4 trillion in foreign reserves into gold.
With the US dollar growing more unstable and China being America’s largest creditor, Beijing could potentially crash the US dollar with 30,000 tons of gold, Jin said.

Belligerent US Refuses To Cede Control Over IMF In Snub To China
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/17/2015 - 14:15 Even as the establishment of new supranational lenders suggests the US-dominated multilateral institutions that have characterized the post-war world are proving unable to meet the needs of modernity, both Congress and the President have stymied IMF reform measures, sending a message to China and others that US hegemony will not die without a fight.If Numbers Don’t Lie Then...

If fundamentals like profits and sales no longer matter, then all that's left is faith that central banks will never let stock markets fall ever again. Never, ever; that is of course the language of fairy tales.
Greenwald Warns "The Greatest Threat To Free Speech Is Not From Terrorism, But From Those Claiming To Fight It"
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/17/2015 - 12:43 Threats to free speech can come from lots of places. But right now, the greatest threat by far in the West to ideals of free expression is coming not from radical Muslims, but from the very Western governments claiming to fight them. The increasingly unhinged, Cheney-sounding governments of the U.K., Australia, France, New Zealand and Canada - joining the U.S. - have a seemingly insatiable desire to curb freedoms in the name of protecting them...Presenting The $77 Billion P2P Bubble

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/17/2015 - 11:27 When it comes to spectacularly bad foreign policy outcomes, the US is on an incredible run lately even by its own lofty standards.

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/16/2015 - 21:45 The UN plans to launch a brand new plan for managing the entire globe at the Sustainable Development Summit that it will be hosting from September 25th to September 27th. For those wishing to expand the scope of "global governance," sustainable development is the perfect umbrella because just about all human activity affects the environment in some way. The phrase “for the good of the planet” can be used as an excuse to micromanage virtually every aspect of our lives.Not ISIS? Saudi Arabia To Execute & Display Beheaded Body Of Political Activist In Public "Crucifixion"
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/16/2015 - 20:15 One of the ways that the U.S. government most clearly expresses its deep dedication to global human rights, democracy and decency across the globe is via its unwavering support for the feudal, inhumane tyrannical monarchy of Saudi Arabia. In a punishment known as “crucifixion,” the executed person’s beheaded body is placed on public display for three days. Currently facing this fate are three political activists, including two children.

There is much speculation about US Secretary of State John Kerry’s rush visit to Russia in the wake of Russia’s successful Victory Day celebration on May 9. On May 11, Kerry, who was snubbing Russia on the 9th, was on his way to Russia, and Putin consented to see him on May 12.
As time passes we will find out why Kerry was snubbing Putin on May 9 and 3 days later was criticizing Washington’s puppet regime in Ukraine. For what is known at this time, a possible explanation is that Washington is coming to its senses.
If you watched the 1 hour 20 minute video of the Victory Day Parade, you are aware that the celebration sent a powerful message. Russia is a first class military power, and Russia is backed by China and India, whose soldiers marched with Russia’s in the parade.

Below, are charts which will demonstrate that the American economy, and that of the world, is teetering on collapse. Martial law activities are increasing in size and intensity in preparation for the collapse. Communities, such as Big Springs, TX., are being terrorized by presumed Jade Helm personnel practicing their “stealth” intrusions as previusly discussed in several articles.
After covering the Jade Helm fiasco for nearly two months, it is clear that as the economy falls, the threats posed by Jade Helm activities (i.e. political dissident extractions) will increase in a corresponding manner.

Joe Rogan once had an insightful bit where he likened Osama Bin Laden to a comic book super villain. Osama, we are told, was a reclusive billionaire who sent threatening messages to the world from a cave fortress in an undisclosed location, yet still managed to elude capture for year after year.
How appropriate, then, that just like one of those comic book villains, Osama Bin Laden is being resurrected from the dead to haunt the imagination of the American people and scar the psyche of a world weary from a decade and a half of the phoney “War on Terror.”
This time the resurrection comes courtesy of Seymour Hersh, the veteran investigative journalist who just penned an article for the London Review of Books that, at first glance, looks like a savage critique of the obviously bogus official story of the death of everyone’s favorite boogeyman, Osama Bin Laden. Titled simply “The Killing of Osama Bin Laden” the article purports to expose the transparent lies surrounding the May 2011 raid on a compound in Abbottabad that we have been asked to believe led to Bin Laden’s death at the hands of an elite NAVY Seal team.

TND Note – Peter Dale Scott is considered the father of “Deep Politics”— the study of hidden permanent institutions and interests whose influence on the political realm transcends the elected, appointed and career officials who come and go. A Professor of English at Berkeley and a former Canadian diplomat, he is the author of several critically acclaimed books on the pivotal events of our country’s recent past. Daniel Ellsberg said of his book Drugs, Oil and War, “It makes most academic and journalistic explanations of our past and current interventions read like government propaganda written for children.” What follows is based on a recent Scott lecture entitled “The JFK Assassination and Other Deep Events”.
For some time now, I have been analyzing American history in the light of what I have called structural deep events: events, like the JFK assassination, the Watergate break-in, Iran-Contra, or 9/11, which repeatedly involve law-breaking or violence, are mysterious to begin with, are embedded in ongoing covert processes, have political consequences that enlarge covert government, and are subsequently covered up by systematic falsifications in the mainstream media and internal government records.

Hey California parents… Have you considered home school yet?
You might want to right about now.
The California Senate just advanced a bill yesterday that would end a parent’s right to choose what is shot into his or her child for philosophical reasons, once again effectively telling the entire state their supposed political representatives do not represent the will of the people but the will of corporations.
The only option left for parents to refuse vaccinations for their public school children will be to receive a medical waiver signed off by a licensed physician. Considering the majority of pediatricians make most of their money off Orwellian-named “well-child” (read: vaccination) visits, those will likely be hard to come by.

The Golden State just inched one step closer towards full medical tyranny after the State Senate, heavily influenced by Merck prostitute Senator Richard Pan, overwhelmingly voted in favor of passing Senate Bill 277 to eliminate personal belief exemptions for vaccines.
The San Jose Mercury News reports that S.B. 277 received “overwhelming approval” in the State Senate, and will now move on to the California Assembly for consideration, despite massive opposition from California parents. If passed by the Assembly, the bill is expected to be signed into law not long after, subjecting millions of California school children to forced vaccinations against the will of their parents.

A new survey finds that nearly two-thirds of businesses facing a new Obamacare tax will change their coverage to avoid it.
The survey, conducted by the International Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans, finds that 62 percent of the nearly 600 companies polled have already taken action or plan to take action to avoid the so-called “Cadillac tax.”
The tax on higher premium plans is set to take effect in 2018 and impacts those plans costing businesses over $10,200 for individual coverage and $27,500 for family coverage. For every dollar spent over that threshold, employers will be hit with an excise tax at a punishing 40 percent rate.

Not everything seems to be going according to script for the self-anointed architects of the new global order. For years lobbyists and representatives of the world’s largest corporations and banks have been meeting with government trade negotiators from Europe, North America and Asia to patch together what could soon be the world’s two biggest ever “trade” deals, the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) and the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP). The problem is that as more and more people learn about them, public opposition continues to grow — and with good reason.
If signed, these new deals will enshrine into international law a new system of semi-global, technocratic governance for the exclusive benefit of the world’s largest, richest multinational corporations and private investors. What’s more, in the eternal words of the U.S. Trade Rep Michael Froman, once they are passed, agreements like TTIP will become “the global benchmark for standards in a globalized world.”

Nestle Waters North America CEO Tim Brown has decided to put profit over people in the face of devastatingly arid conditions that have caused one water company to begin rationing its supply.

Starbucks has already halted its bottling in the state, but when Brown was asked in a radio interview if Nestle would follow suit, well, his reply says it all:
Absolutely not. In fact, if I could increase it, I would. The fact is, if I stop bottling water tomorrow, people would buy another brand of bottled water. People need to hydrate. As the second largest bottler in the state, we’re filling a role many others are filling. It’s driven by consumer demand; it’s driven by an on-the-go society that needs to hydrate. Frankly, we’re very happy they are doing it in a healthier way.The fact actually is, not only does Nestle continue sucking up California’s most precious resource, the company wastes 700 million gallons of it — 30% of the total it pulls from the ground — each year.
