The PetroYuan Is Born: Gazprom Now Settling All Crude Sales To China In Renminbi


As Russia adjusts to Western sanctions stemming from the conflict in Ukraine, Gazprom is now settling all crude sales to China in renminbi. At the intersection of the petrodollar's death and yuan hegemony is: the PetroYuan...


PANIC BEFORE EVERYONE ELSE DOES

from The Burning Platform:
For the lazy people who don’t like to slog through Hussman’s entire data laden weekly tome, I’ve picked out the most pertinent sections. For the really lazy, I’ve bolded the most important sentences. When everyone on Wall Street is using the same algorithms in their HFT supercomputers, and John Q. Public isn’t even in the market, who will these supercomputers sell to when they all get the sell signal at the same time? When that time comes, and it won’t be long, I’ll be munching popcorn and watching the festivities unfold. The talking heads, government apparatchiks, and Ivy League educated big swinging dicks on Wall Street will declare a national emergency and demand another bailout. Will we be stupid enough to fall for it again, or will we start hanging bankers?

U.S. State Finances Lack “Truth and Integrity” – Paul Volcker Warns

from Gold Core:
The highly regarded former chairman of the Federal Reserve, Paul Volcker, has severely criticized the State Governments in the U.S. over “faulty practices” used to devise budgets which mask the true financial position of those states.
Mr. Volcker, who as Fed chair reined in escalating inflation and stabilised the economy during Ronald Reagan’s tenure, announced in 2013 his intention to form the Volcker Alliance to focus on reforming democracy in the U.S.
It was in a report from the Volcker Alliance that the criticisms were published.
The palpable erosion of trust in our democratic institutions of government demands a response,” he was quoted as saying.

A Derivatives Bomb Exploded Within The Last Two Weeks

I’ve never seen so many sophisticated Wall Street’ers this scared in my entire career.” – This comment comes from a very well-connected Wall Street/DC insider and is in reference to how illiquid the bond markets have become
by Dave Kranzler, Investment Research Dynamics:

Something deep and dark has transpired behind the Orwellian “curtain”  used by the elitists to hide the inner workings of the financial markets, especially with regard to big bank balance sheets and OTC derivatives.
It was the sudden firing of Deutche Bank’s co-CEOs this past weekend – The Brown Stuff Is About To Hit The Fan – that prompted me to spend more time analyzing a sequence of events which indicate to me some sort of derivatives position, possibly at Deutsche Bank, has exploded.  In addition, the stock and bond markets have been emitting some curious signals which reflect that fact that something happened in the global economic and financial system.

Is This Why U.S. Treasuries Are Diving?

from Wolf Street:
The global bond market swoon wiped out $1.2 trillion in value since April. Bonds with long maturities suffered the most. The 10-year Treasury Note Price Index lost 3.2%. The 30-year yield, at 3.1% currently, is still very low, but it’s the highest since October 2014. And the 30-year Treasury Bond Price Index has dropped 9%.
“After all, the potential for losses is now greater than at any time on record, based on duration levels for $50 trillion of debt tracked by Barclays Plc.,” Bloomberg reported.
There are numerous reasons for this scenario – a very benign scenario where the greatest credit bubble in history winds down gradually, in small steps with many ups and downs that give the “smart money” time to reposition, rather than suddenly and all at once.

You Don't See This Every Day...

Day in, and day out, American investors are bombarded with bloviation on how the American economy is leading the world (and that's why you need to buy moar stocks). The only problem is... it's a lie, as the following chart clarifies.




The Noose Around Syria's Assad Tightens

While Obama is currently under fire for stating at the recently concluded G-7 summit in Germany that the US "does not yet have a complete strategy" how to deal with ISIS, the reality as relates to the true US strategy, namely the ouster of Syria's president al Assad, could not be more different. Because while ISIS continues to deflect attention from what is really happening in the middle east, the noose around Syria's Assad is tightening one day at a time, with the latest blow coming overnight after Syrian "rebels", also supported by the US (and allowed to call in B-1B strikes), scored a major military victory capturing the second biggest Syrian army base in the south of the country, located in the city of Deraa near the border with Jordan, and just 100 km south of Damascus.




"Not Credible" Is Europe's Response To Latest Greek 3-Page Proposals As Greek Islanders Threaten Referendum

In attempt to bridge the gap between a proposal submitted by Greek PM Alexis Tsipras last Monday and a draft agreement devised by creditors the following day, Athens has reportedly submitted a "revised" proposal to creditors. Unnamed officials say the new draft is "not credible" and represents but "a vague rehash" of last week's effort. Meanwhile, Athens is looking to tap ESM emergency funding to pay the ECB.



Deutsche Bank Offices Raided By Authorities

Just two days after Deutsche Bank co-CEOs Anshu Jain and Jürgen Fitschen announced their resignations, the banks offices in Germany, France, and the UK have been searched by authorities.





The Warren Buffet Economy, Part 1: Why Its Days Are Numbered

This central bank fueled boom will ultimately be paid for in the form of a prolonged deflationary contraction. Then, trillions of uneconomic assets will be written off, industrial sector profits will collapse and the great inflation of financial assets over the last 27 years will meet its day of reckoning. On the morning after, of course, it will be asked why the central banks were permitted to engineer this fantastic financial and economic bubble. The short answer is that it was done so that monetary central planners could smooth and optimize the business cycle and save world capitalism from its purported tendency toward instability, underperformance and depressionary collapse.

Yo! Venice, Jun 7, 2015 (emphasis added): The Sad Reality Of Starving, Dying Sea Lions On Venice… [A breeze] catches the scent of dead, rotting sea lion. The pungent stench lingers… It’s hard to ignore… The dead pups are small enough to be tied up tight in black plastic garbage bags. The larger adult sea lions lay out in the open.
Nick Fash, Heal the Bay: “It’s quite frightening… they wash up on our beaches weak and sickened and many cases dying, which is what you see in the bags.”
National Geographic, Jun 5, 2015: Number of Starving Sea Lions in California ‘Unprecedented’… raising questions about what the future holds after three years of mass strandings — More than 3,000 starving sea lion pups have washed up… And those are the lucky pups. The situation on California’s Channel Islands, where more than 90 percent of the U.S. sea lion population congregates to breed and nurse young, is even worse…

Why Is The Army Hiring People To Provide ‘Emergency Support To Disaster Stricken Areas Throughout The US’?

by Michael Snyder, End of the American Dream:
Does the Army expect that there will soon be “disaster stricken” areas all over the country?  As you will see in this article, a job advertisement has been posted on a federal website seeking workers that “will provide emergency support to disaster stricken areas throughout the US“. This was originally reported by Shepard Ambellas of Intellihub, but it is not receiving nearly as much attention as it perhaps should.  What parts of the nation does the U.S. Army believe will soon be “disaster stricken”?  By itself, this job ad wouldn’t be raising that many eyebrows, but when you combine this with the unusual number of “military training exercises” that are taking place all around the country and with the very strange movements of military equipment that have been reported recently, it gives the appearance that the U.S. military is feverishly making preparations for something big.

HSBC To Fire 50,000, One In Five Jobs, To Fund Dividends To Shareholders

Just days after JPMorgan revealed it would fire another 5,000 by the end of the year in a "scalpel" headcount reduction, overnight the world's favorite drug money laundering bank HSBC unleashed the "machete" and announced it would cut almost 50,000 workers, or one in five bankers, a move which would shrink the investment bank division by one-third. The reason: the same why US corporations are laying off tens of thousands so they can fund record stock buybacks and enrich their shareholders - to boost profits so that more money can be channeled in the form of dividends.

Obama Vows More Possible Anti-Russia Sanctions After G7 Summit

from Sputnik News:
US President Barack Obama promised additional sanctions against Russia following the G7 summit in Bavaria.
The Group of Seven (G7) discussed enacting possible additional sanctions against Russia over its alleged involvement in the Ukrainian crisis, US President Barack Obama said in a press conference on Monday.

STILL NO DEAL IN SIGHT FOR GREECE/WAR OF WORDS BETWEEN RUSSIA

by Harvey Organ, HarveyOrganblog:
At the gold comex today, we had a poor delivery day, registering 1 notice serviced for 100 oz. Silver comex filed with 6 notices for 30,000 oz.
Several months ago the comex had 303 tonnes of total gold. Today, the total inventory rests at 245.25 tonnes for a loss of 57 tonnes over that period.
In silver, the open interest rose by 1328 contracts despite the fact that Friday’s silver price was down by 12 cents. The total silver OI continues to remain extremely high with today’s reading at 184,005 contracts now at multi-year highs despite a record low price. This dichotomy has been happening now for quite a while and defies logic. There is no doubt that the silver situation is scaring our bankers to no end.

Jackass of the Week: Donald Tusk, President of the European Council

by Eric Dubin, The News Doctors:
The “Jackass of the Week” award can easily be declared early.  Donald Tusk, President of the European Council (actually, his “media team,” but whatever) had the stones to tweet the following:
All would prefer to have #Russia around the table. But #G7 is a community of values & that’s why Russia is not here today.
4:23 AM – 7 Jun 2015

It’s bad enough that these delusional handmaidens to Western oligarchical interests constantly lie about Russian aggression, such as the over ten separate occasions of declared Russian invasion of Eastern Ukraine.  But let’s be frank.  People like Tusk literally ooze elitist racism towards “lesser” European Russian Slavic peoples as if Russians are sub-human.  It was only a few years ago that the G8, with Russian membership, championed partnership with Russia as a European nation.

Jade Helm: Hey Military Joe Where You Going With That Gun In Your Hand ~ To Shoot Lady Liberty?

JADE HELM 15: The letters J-A-D-E stand for “Joint Assistant for Deployment and Execution.” The letters H-E-L-M stand for “Homeland Eradication of Local Militants.”
from Political Velcraft:
The drill is indeed about extractions of potential dissident leadership based upon a “list” given to ARSOF commanders. One very strong impression that I was left with is that the leadership of ARSOF is very uncomfortable with this drill because they DO NOT like the prospect of rounding up Americans on American soil. Further, the lack of communication coming to them from both the Pentagon and the DoD is unusual and concerning.
Normally, a drill of this magnitude would carry operational rationale for at least the leadership and this rationale would represent the rules of engagement.
In this “drill” there are no uniform rules of engagement. In some theaters, the application of deadly force will be applied and in other theaters, non lethal force is to be practiced.

Massive Number of #JadeHelm15 Tanks On Railcars Through Pennsylvania

from Pete Santilli Show:



video shows large number of military tanks rolling by rail through Pennsylvania. Jade Helm 15 is set “officially” to begin on June 15, 2015 – but with activity like this throughout the country one has to question that date, and the idea it is a drill that is suppose to be contained to only (6) of our southwestern states.

Why the NSA Loves the USA FREEDOM Act — Judge Napolitano

by Adam Dick, Ron Paul Institute:
Why did the National Security Agency (NSA) dispatch hundreds of agents to the US Congress to lobby for the USA FREEDOM Act if the legislation would, as many of the bill’s advocates in the Congress assert, greatly restrain the US government’s mass surveillance program? Judge Andrew Napolitano, the senior judicial analyst at Fox News, answers in a new video commentary that the NSA lobbied for the USA FREEDOM Act because the bill actually provides absolutely no “savings of civil liberties” and does not in any way change the “volume or nature” of the information the US government obtains via mass surveillance.
Napolitano, a Ron Paul Institute Advisory Board member, concludes that under the USA FREEDOM Act there is only “a very slight difference in the manner” by which information is acquired in mass surveillance in comparison to how it has been acquired under the PATRIOT Act.

THE REVOLVING DOOR OF FASCISM: Hillary Clinton Donated $100K to New York Times Group the Same Year Paper Endorsed Her

…The Publisher pushed hard for Clinton endorsement in 2008
by Alana Goodman, Free Beacon:
A little-known private foundation controlled by Bill and Hillary Clinton donated $100,000 to the New York Times’ charitable fund in 2008, the same year the newspaper’s editorial page endorsed Clinton in the Democratic presidential primary, according to tax documents reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon.
The Clinton Family Foundation, a separate entity from the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation, has been the family’s vehicle for personal charitable giving since 2001.
It is funded directly by the Clintons and distributes more than $1 million a year to civic and educational causes.

Hackers Point Out U.S. Arming & Funding ISIS To Topple Assad

The Syrian Electronic Army has claimed responsibility for hacking the U.S. Army’s web site to point out both the Pentagon and the CIA are supporting ISIS.
by Kit Daniels, Infowars:
The hacker group posted a screenshot on Twitter showing Army.mil defaced with pop-up messages stating “Your commanders admit they are training the people they have sent you to die fighting!” and “Stop training the terrorists!”
The SEA is shedding light on a largely open secret: the U.S. and other NATO nations are arming and funding ISIS to topple Syrian president Bashir al-Assad, who stands in the way of a critical natural gas pipeline that would depose Russia as Europe’s primary source of energy.
The link between ISIS and the U.S. was revealed in a declassified U.S. government document obtained by Judical Watch which stated that “the Salafist [sic], the Muslim Brotherhood, and AQI [al-Qaeda in Iraq] are the major forces driving the insurgency in Syria,” and that “the West, Gulf countries, and Turkey support [this] opposition” while Russia, China and Iran “support the [Assad] regime.”

COVERUP: Missing Evidence of Prior FBI Relationship with Boston Bomber

Pictured: Former FBI Director Robert Mueller’s testimony that the FBI had contact with Tamerlan Tsarnaev long before Russia’s warning was all but ignored in the Boston Marathon bombing trial.
by James Henry, Who What Why:
Ever since the early days of the Boston Marathon bombing investigation, it’s been commonly understood that Tamerlan Tsarnaev first came to the attention of the FBI thanks to a March 2011 “warning” from the FSB, Russia’s security services.
We now know this to be false. In a little-noticed exchange during congressional testimony, the FBI’s then-director Robert Mueller admitted that the Bureau had an interest in the elder Tsarnaev before Russia’s warning. That crucial admission has somehow become buried over time, and the government has been only too happy to leave it out of sight.

What else is the Bureau hiding—and what is the truth behind this subterfuge?

A Message to U.S. Puppet Poroshenko From Woman Who Lost Her Daughter & Husband in Ukrainian Shelling

The most heart-breaking video of the civilian bombing outrage that we have seen so far. Force yourself, and everyone you know to watch it. Share it and talk about it.
from Russia-Insider:



The war in East Ukraine is routinely presented in western mainstream media as a humanitarian tragedy in which both sides are guilty of harming civilians, but this is, in fact, not true.
The reality is, it has been a very one-sided affair with the Ukrainian side deliberately shelling and individually terrorizing defenseless civilians, in a calculated effort to lure Russia into a larger conflict, a cynical and vicious strategy condoned and egged on by neo-con elements in the US and the EU.
If the general public in Europe and America knew what was happening they would never allow it, but they do so only because the media, also dominated by neo-con views, has not reported the situation honestly.
The rebels have never engaged in this sort of criminal warfare, and in all likelihood, never would, because it requires a particularly venal world view to perpetrate something like this, and most people simply would not do it. Neo-cons and neo-nazis can push this sort of thing – most people could not bring themselves to do it.

Sri Lanka’s President BANS GLYPHOSATE Nationwide to Protect the Health of the People

by JD Heyes, Natural News:
In one of his first official acts, Sri Lanka’s newly elected president, Maithripala Sirisena, announced that his country’s importation of the world’s most used herbicide, glyphosate, was to be banned immediately and that the release of stocks already in the country was to be halted as well.
As noted by the Sustainable Pulse web site, Sirisena is a farmer and former Sri Lankan health minister. When announcing his decision, he said the chemical herbicide was responsible for a growing number of chronic kidney disease patients in the country, adding that the decision would
further protect the country’s farming community.
In Sri Lanka, chronic kidney disease now affects some 15 percent of the working-age population in the country’s northern regions. That amounts to a total of around 400,000 patients. Some 20,000 people die annually of the illness, Sustainable Pulse reported.

Israel’s War Crimes Record: Killing and Maiming Children in Armed Conflicts

A recent Independent article noted that [Special Envoy for Children and Armed Conflict Leila]
Zerrougui’s draft report cited IDF attacks on schools and hospitals during the 2014 war in the Gaza Strip…”
Even though the UN has historically not taken strong action against any of Israel’s war crimes over the decades, let alone those specifically against Palestinian children, Israel has reportedly exerted pressure to be de-listed from the draft list, with seeming success.

The Bilderberg Group: Founded By A Nazi And Continuing The Agenda Of The Nazis

by Michael Snyder, End of the American Dream:
When you want to discover what an organization is really all about, it is important to dig down to the roots.  And when you uncover the roots of the Bilderberg Group, you find some very unsettling things.  It turns out that the Bilderberg Group has had Nazi connections from the very beginning, and it continues to advance the agenda of the Nazis to this very day.  This year, the Bilderberg Group is meeting from June 11th to June 14th at the Interalpen Hotel which is near the city of Telfs, Austria.  This organization has so much power that even several days before the event police are keeping everyone (including reporters) 10 kilometers away from the hotel.  If this is just a group of private citizens getting together to chat about world issues, why all the security?  What is so special about this group of people that rates such extraordinary measures?  And why are they so bound and determined to keep all of the rest of us away from them?
