from Paul Craig Roberts:
The Pentagon has released its “National Military Strategy of the United States of America 2015,”
June 2015. The document announces a shift in focus from terrorists to
“state actors” that “are challenging international norms.” It is
important to understand what these words mean. Governments that
challenge international norms are sovereign countries that pursue
policies independently of Washington’s policies. These “revisionist
states” are threats, not because they plan to attack the US, which the
Pentagon admits neither Russia nor China intend, but because they are
independent. In other words, the norm is dependence on Washington.
Be sure to grasp the point: The threat is the existence of sovereign states, whose independence of action makes them “revisionist states.” In other words, their independence is out of step with the neoconservative Uni-power doctrine that declares independence to be the right of Washington alone. Washington’s History-given hegemony precludes any other country being independent in its actions.

Coming to your area soon...fill the freezer while you can still afford it...
by jeery park, Natural News:
North Carolina authorities have announced a ban on all sales of live
poultry, effective beginning August 15, 2015. The ban also applies to
public livestock shows and poultry sales, such as the poultry exhibit at
the North Carolina State Fair, which traditionally takes place each
October.
The ban was prompted by the avian flu epidemic, which has been responsible for the deaths of nearly 50 million birds in the United States, and although North Carolina has not yet been affected, authorities fear that the disease may spread to the Southeast region when the annual waterfowl migration begins in the fall.
The H5N2 strain of the avian flu virus has infected birds in 21 states so far, and N.C. officials are wary of the possibility of its spread to their own state, which is the nation’s fourth-biggest producer of chickens raised for meat and the third-largest turkey producer. The poultry industry in North Carolina is worth $18 billion, according to State Veterinarian Doug Meckes, who made the decision to enact the ban.

Jade Helm
A lot of emails have been coming in about Jade Helm, a highly secret and most controversial U.S. Special Operations exercise that created a flood of conspiracy theories about a government takeover. The Washington Post has reported that Lt. Col. Mark Lastoria, a spokesman for Army Special Operations Command, said his organization is “considering allowing a small number of journalists to view selected portions of the exercise later this summer, but nothing is finalized.”
There is no question that the government is preparing for civil unrest. No, we do not advise them. But make no mistake about it, probably every single security agency around the world follows our model. They began drills actually practicing in cities with the turn of the War Cycle in 2014. Even back in the 1980s, Citadel, the competitor of West Point, asked to teach the Economic Confidence Model to their students.

from The Daily Sheeple:
It wasn’t that long ago that we were experiencing severe ammunition
and firearm shortages. The prices for pretty much every kind of weapon
reached outrageous levels, and there was a waiting list for just about
everything gun related. But over the past two years or so, the cost of
firearms has finally fallen to a reasonable price point, and ammo
shortages have largely relented. Contrary to popular belief however, gun
purchases have not fallen. In fact, it seems that Americans are still
buying more guns then ever before.
This past June, the FBI reported more background checks then they ever had for that month, since they started keeping track in 1998. All told, June of 2015 experienced an 11% increase in background checks over the previous year, amounting to 1.53 million cases. Theories abound as to why this is happening. Some have suggested that there may be more first time gun owners entering the market, as well as an influx of female buyers. However, there is a more obvious culprit. Gun sales always go up after a mass shooting and the calls for stricter gun laws that always follow. The Charleston shooting may be responsible for this recent trend.

Varoufakis' Stunning Accusation: Schauble Wants A Grexit "To Put The Fear Of God" Into The French
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 07/10/2015 - 16:33 "Schäuble is convinced that as things stand, he needs a Grexit to clear the air, one way or another. Suddenly, a permanently unsustainable Greek public debt, without which the risk of Grexit would fade, has acquired a new usefulness for Schauble. What do I mean by that? Based on months of negotiation, my conviction is that the German finance minister wants Greece to be pushed out of the single currency to put the fear of God into the French and have them accept his model of a disciplinarian eurozone."

The One Common Feature In Every Financial Crisis
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 07/10/2015 - 15:55 Spontaneous combustion. Alien invasion. Zombie apocalypse. What do these have in common? Their likelihood is next to impossible. So why worry? This is how people tend to think about the financial system. Mentioning even the possibility, for example, that the US could default on its debt is met with so much scorn and contempt it would be safer to stand on the street corner warning about an alien invasion. The same goes for the imposition of capital controls. Or a collapse in the banking system. Or a currency crisis. And yet the most casual glance at the headlines proves that these events not only can happen, they do happen... and for one underlying reason...
China's Margin Debt Is "Easily The Highest In The History Of Global Equity Markets"
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 07/10/2015 - 15:32 "The explosion in margin financing behind the recent astonishing run-up in Chinese A shares is a new twist on China credit concerns, a long-standing grey swan for Chinese and global growth. As of the beginning of June, the balance of margin financing outstanding was RMB2.2tn, an estimated 12% of the free float market cap of marginable stocks and 3.5% of GDP—easily the highest in the history of global equity markets."

Russians training in incarcerate and process American dissidents?

events discussed in this article simply dovetail from the revelation
that shopping malls, sports stadiums and some schools are being prepped
to double as FEMA camp internment facilities.
Camp Grayling, a known FEMA camp, is the site of massive training for the Michigan Army Reservists and the Michigan National Guard. They say they are training for GITMO duty. Perhaps this is true. However, everyone should Google “FM 3-39.4″ and make sure you are seated as you read this Army Field Manual.

China's Market Isn't Fixed And Why The Global Bubble Will Keep Imploding
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 07/10/2015 - 14:30 The Chinese economy is in an obvious deepening swoon and the median company on the Shanghai exchange had a PE ratio of 60X before the recent break. But no matter. Not only does everything financial race the skyscrapers to the sky in the land of red capitalism, but valuation upside is apparently whatever the comrades in Beijing want it to be. Says Goldman’s chief stock tout for China,“It’s not in a bubble yet.”. Why? Because “China’s government has a lot of tools to support the market.”Greeks Take To The Streets To Protest Brussels "Blackmail" - Live Feed

A Serial Short Seller Asks "Do Governments & Central Banks Ever Lose?"
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 07/10/2015 - 13:40 It's true that “the authorities” want the price of financial assets (stocks, bonds) to go up, and the price of hard assets (commodities) to go down… which is exactly what has happened. So do governments and central banks ever lose? In the old days, they lost all the time. In one extreme example, an individual hedge fund took out the entire Bank of England. But central banks are currently on a massive winning streak. So to answer the question, “Will we ever have a crisis,” you need to answer the question, “Will we ever be allowed to have one?”

Now they want to change the face of fiat – before than ban it all together. It is akin to changing the packaging. Few will notice a few less ounces of cereal or sugar at the same price.
The meme that they can’t seem to get enough — no matter how hard they try
Just on the heels of this new movement to remove hard and paper currency, we have the simultaneous distraction of changing the face of the $10 bill.
Once again it feels like a very carefully placed distraction. Creates the illusion that the powers that be are pretend like we are paying very close attention to money while simultaneously testing a political trial balloon.

Living a prepared life, as most readers understand, is not something
that stops. One is never properly finished preparing. It is not
something one works on for a bit and then says, “Okay, I’m done.” It is a
lifestyle of self-sufficiency and preparedness. One of the first things
most preppers come across in exploring the basics of preparedness is
the three B’s– beans, bullets, and Band-aids. How many times have we
read, even on this blog, “Make sure you have your beans, bullets, and
band-aids squared away first!” That’s sage advice, and we should all
follow it. However, what happens when you walk down into your basement
and see your wall-to-wall and aisle shelves looking like a miniature
grocery store, complete with pharmacy in the back? What do you do when
you see, in the corner, your gun safe bolted to the floor holding a
medium-sized gun collection with eight spare magazines per firearm? When
you look down and see the floor of the basement lined with surplus U.S.
military ammo cans filled with thousands of rounds in your chosen
calibers, all sealed with desiccant packages? When you look out your
kitchen window into your backyard garden that you’ve slowly built to
provide a sustainable food source? When you’ve followed the directions
provided (for free, no less!) on this blog to create a hand pump for the
second well on your property that was originally dug and used for your
sprinkler system, providing you with reachable water in the event of a
grid-down event? When there is no more room in your chest freezer for
meat or frozen vegetables designed to help feed you and your wife in an
emergency?Read More @ SurvivalBlog.com

On Monday one of the primary HFT Electronic Communication Networks “broke” in the middle of a big sell-off in stocks in response to the “NO” vote in Greece.
