Our current money system began in 1971. It survived consumer price inflation of almost 14% a year in 1980. But Paul Volcker was already on the job, raising interest rates to bring inflation under control. And it survived the “credit crunch” of 2008-09. Ben Bernanke dropped the price of credit to almost zero, by slashing short-term interest rates and buying trillions of dollars of government bonds. But the next crisis could be very different…
Nobody could have possibly predicted this ...Right... Remember this when the Assholes on the Financial programs say this...
103 Years Later, Wall Street Turned Out Just As One Man Predicted

For over 65 years, the nation of China has been secretly working upon
implementing a 100-year-long plan to replace the United States as the
global superpower of the world. Dating back to 1949, China devised a
plan to ‘wipe clean’ past humiliations and revise the order that was
established under Bretton Woods that left the world a US-dominated world
following World War II, the world that most of us grew up in. Thanks to
China’s ‘100-Year marathon‘, the world we all grew up in is about to go through a major change. Among the many newly released video reports below of military activity in America, we see a convoy of 155mm Howitzer’s (as seen in photos above and 3rd video below) rolling westbound towards Texas on US-98 in Lucedale, Mississippi. In another video report published by the same videographer, we see another military convoy stopped at a weigh station also westbound in Mississippi. Coincidentally, or not, the Wal Mart truck that appears to be with the convoy at the same weigh station shown in the picture below (seen in 3rd video) is getting a lot of attention. Many more videos and original photos below include an update on the Brandon, Florida Wal Mart and some strange activity there that adds more unanswered questions to this rapidly growing mystery. All of what we’re watching across America is the beginning of this ‘brave new world’ .
On May 21, 2015, the Colombian Air Force (FAC) bombed the base camp of
the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) killing 26 guerrillas.
Three days later the FAC bombed other FARC bases killing 14 more
guerrillas. This was part of an official offensive, launched by
President Juan Manuel Santos, the US’s most loyal client in Latin
America. Among the victims were FARC Commanders Jairo Martinez, a
participant in the ongoing peace negotiations in Havana and Roman Ruiz.Colombia works closely with the US, through Bernard Aronson, a very intrusive neo-conservative ‘overseer’, who is Washington’s coordinator in the Colombian counter-insurgency war. The US maintains seven military bases and has stationed over one thousand US ‘advisers’ in the field and within the Colombian Defense Ministry.

The Central Banks Are Losing Control Of The Financial Markets
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/07/2015 - 16:01 Every great con game eventually comes to an end.
Are they expecting something to happen? As you will read about below,
the European Union says that any nation within the EU that does not
enact “bail-in” legislation within the next two months will face legal action.
The countries that are being threatened in this manner include Italy
and France. If you fast forward two months from this moment, that puts
us in early August. So clearly the European Union wants everything to
be squared away by the end of the summer. Is there a reason for this?
Are they anticipating that something really bad will happen in September
or thereafter? Why such a rush?Read More…

World’s 2nd Biggest Stock Breaks 28-Year Trendline
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/07/2015 - 14:45 This breakdown marks the first day that Exxon Mobil has ever closed below this trendline. Now, assuming the stock’s behavior around the trendline is not completely random, and considering its capacity as the 2nd biggest stock in the equity market, the effect of this breakdown may be profound. Absent an immediate reversal back above the trendline, this loss of 28-year support would appear to open the door to more downside in the stock.

Folksy Obama Arrives In Germany: "Slugs" Sausage, Beer And Pretzels, Goes Lederhosen Shopping
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/07/2015 - 10:28 Earlier today, Barack Obama, together with 6 of the world's most powerful leaders (but certainly not Vladimir Putin) congregated in the Bavarian town of Krun where they will for the next two days hunker down at the luxurious Scholss Elmau for the latest G-7 meeting, covering an agenda dealing with climate change, global extremism, and of course, solving the Ukraine crisis (with or without instructions from George Soros on how to proceed). Serious stuff. Obama, however, decided to keep it "folksy" and the lame duck president, content with the direction the world is going, pulled a page right out of National Lampoons European vacation and kicked it back.

The Slide Toward “Velvet Glove” Fascism Continues
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/06/2015 - 21:14 Sometimes we get the feeling the ruling elites are investing the laws they enact with a kind of impertinent, slap-in-your-face black humor. How else to explain the Orwellian names given to the liberty-crushing laws that have been put in place since the “war on terror” started?
The "Illegal Immigrant" Recovery? The Real Stunner In The Jobs Report
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/06/2015 - 22:15 In the latest jobs report we find the following stunner: since the start of the Second Great Depression, the US has added 2.3 million "foreign-born" workers, offset by just 727K "native-born". This means that the "recovery" has almost entirely benefited foreign-born workers, to the tune fo 3 to 1 relative to native-born Americans!

Crony Hung in Own Noose – But No Reason to Celebrate
Imagine our delight! “Crony Hung in Own Noose” is the headline we would have put on the story. The New York Times has the report:
“J. Dennis Hastert, who served for eight years as speaker of the House of Representatives, was paying a former student hundreds of thousands of dollars to not say publicly that Mr. Hastert had sexually abused him decades ago, according to two people briefed on the evidence uncovered in an F.B.I. investigation.
Federal prosecutors on Thursday [May 28] announced the indictment of Mr. Hastert, 73, on allegations that he made cash withdrawals, totaling $1.7 million, to evade detection by banks. The federal authorities also charged him with lying to them about the purpose of the withdrawals.”

It seems to me that the logistical flaw in non-anarchistic libertarian
thought—that the state is necessary, if for nothing else but protection
of its citizens (defense from attack from abroad, protection of
individuals from each other, dispute adjudication, etc)—is rooted in the
lack of recognition that history has readily proven that the state can
not—will not—be limited by law, especially (and one would think
obviously) when the state itself is the author, interpreter, and
enforcer of the law. The dismal failure of the “American Experiment”

“I speak to many of these people about risk but they see no risk in financial markets. They don’t believe that $100 million for an apartment, painting, or a diamond is a bubble. Or a stock market that is actually now valued higher than it was in 1929, 2000, or in 2007. They don’t see that this is a bubble.

from Liberty Blitzkieg:
If it sounds complicated, it is. The important point is that this trade
agreement contains a crucial discussion of governments’ abilities to
meaningfully protect civil liberties. And it is not being treated as a
human rights discussion. It is being framed solely as an economic issue,
ignoring the implications for human rights, and it is being held in a
classified document that the public is now seeing months after it was
negotiated, and only because it was released through WikiLeaks.
The process is also highly secretive—in fact, trade agreement texts are classified. While the executive branch does consult with members of Congress, even congressional staffers with security clearance have until recently been prevented from seeing the texts. Furthermore, certain trade industry advisers are allowed access to U.S. negotiating objectives and negotiators that the public and public interest groups do not have.

It’s strange to think that until the 20th century, nobody knew what
vitamin C was. There were vague notions that certain citrus fruits could
prevent scurvy, but even that didn’t occur to most people until the
19th century. Until that time, people routinely died from a lack of this
essential nutrient. Now we know that vitamin C is not only important
for the health of our teeth and gums, but is an essential part of our
overall health and immune system.
Unfortunately, vitamin C has one major drawback. As strange as it may sound, the human body has a hard time digesting this essential nutrient, whether it’s in supplement form, or is consumed naturally in food. Only about 20% of it is properly absorbed by our bodies. The rest is flushed out through your digestive track, and what little remains often has a pretty short half-life in your body.
