While to many Quantitative Tightening is a novel concept, the reality is that China (+ Euroclear) have been dumping Treasurys and liquidating reserves since January when total holdings peaked at $1.6 trillion last summer, and have since declined to $1.38 trillion. It means that China has sold a quarter trillion dollars worth of Treasurys in the past year, in the process offsetting what would have been about 25% of the Fed's QE3.
With US Warships En Route To Islands, China Asks: "What On Earth Makes Them Think We Will Tolerate This?"
"The United States' provocative attempts to infringe on China's South China Sea sovereignty are sabotaging regional peace and stability and militarizing the waters.What on earth makes the United States think China should and will tolerate it when U.S. surface ships trespass on Chinese territory in the South China Sea?"

There is a war, a currency war, and the war is, ultimately, on us.
In many respects, Americans have fallen far, and hard, from the liberty they once had.
Rather than living under a sound currency, modern Americans live under an economic despotism. There are monopoly men who tightly control the money, and are all the more insidious in their subtlety, and quietness in the shadows.

After 6 Years Of Austerity, 36% Of Greeks In Poverty
Thousands of austerity measures, dramatic cuts in incomes, incredible hikes in taxes. Five and a half years in deep recession. Three bailout agreements. And where do Greeks stand now? On top of the Eurozone when it comes to poverty. More than one out of three Greeks, that is “36% of the Greek population is at risk of poverty and social exclusion,” the EUROSTAT found out - the highest rate within the Euro Zone.

The False East/West Paradigm And The End Of Freedom
It was clear what was about to happen in Syria only because we understood one important fundamental – that there are no “sides” in any modern conflict, only proxies fighting on a global chessboard controlled by the same elitist interests. Syria represented a perfect catalyst for a planetary scale conflict triggered between East and West in a way that could divert attention from internationalists. Modern war, whether through kinetics or economics, is almost always theater designed to distract and terrorize the masses, which are the true target of any conflagration.
"Its Not The Economy Stupid, It's The Dollar"

For the London media 7/7 is ‘done and dusted’, but for guest author, Tony Gosling, who helped cover the IRA London bombing campaign for the BBC, nothing could be further from the truth.
31-minute video: Ten years after 7/7: 13 holes in government & media account of 2005 London Bombings:
Monday 6th July 2015 BRISTOL – At lunchtime of 7th July 2005 the Guardian’s Mark Honigsbaum was in the London Hilton Hotel opposite Edgware Road underground station uploading an audio report to the Guardian website. Mark had been talking to dazed and injured passengers as they emerged from the smoke and chaos below and listening back to the Guardian’s first report of the day is unsettling.

F.B.I. agents are reportedly angry over President Obama’s decision last Sunday to weigh in concerning their ongoing investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server.
Before the agency has had a chance to review over 30,000 of Clinton’s emails to determine if she mishandled classified information, the president told 60 Minutes, “I don’t think it posed a national security problem.” He went on to characterize her actions as a “mistake.” Obama also stated definitively, “This is not a situation in which America’s national security was endangered.”

Police in North Carolina may declare parts of the Charlotte metropolitan area off-limits to people who have been arrested for crimes, The Charlotte Observer reported this week.
The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department says it is considering whether to propose an ordinance that would create “public safety zones,” in which anyone arrested for a crime would be banned from returning to the zone for a year.
The proposal is still in the development phase and would need to be approved by the city council’s community safety committee, Deputy City Attorney Mark Newbold told The Huffington Post. He added that the city has not yet determined which type of public areas would be included in this new policy. “As it sits right now, we’re still at the discussion level,” he said.

Earlier this year a remote controlled drone quadracopter was flown onto the White House lawn in a security breach that left the Secret Service embarrassed and looking like amateurs. The national security apparatus immediately went into overdrive looking for ways to mitigate future threats posed by the new robotic technologies and it’s not hard to see why. Assassination drones pose a serious threat to personal security, especially as it relates to high-profile figures like politicians.
In fact, law enforcement personnel are already weaponizing drones and just this year a teenage robotics hobbyist was able to arm one with a semi-automatic handgun.

China has added another roughly 15 tonnes of gold — in OPEN MARKET PURCHASES.
And with that, it’s now time to make this a sticky thread, as there can
be no more doubt that China (and presumably Russia) are now in a “gold
war” with the West.
If readers accept my premise, this “war” was provoked by the West, specifically, through the One Bank managing to convince India’s (new) corrupt government to begin to steal the gold of its own citizens, through a (fraudulent) “gold deposit scheme”, and (even more-fraudulent) “gold bonds”.
Indians Swapping Their Gold For ‘Magic Beans’
The One Bank (and its Indian lackeys) are currently TARGETING their scam to “reduce India’s imports” by 100’s of tonnes per year — even though Indian are still (supposedly) buying the same amount of “gold”.

Companies like Walmart and McDonalds’s have made their investors rich by squeezing costs and holding down prices. But it turns out that low costs means low wages, and as this model spread it contributed to the now-impossible-to-ignore migration of income and wealth from workers to owners of the capital and symbol manipulation skills that such a system demands.
Now these internal contradictions have come home to roost. Workers who were squeezed down to bare subsistence can’t afford to buy what American companies are selling. But they can demand a bigger piece of the pie via the ballot box and direct action. In May, for instance, McDonald’s headquarters was swamped by protesters demanding $15/hour starting pay.

The article below was printed in the August 31, 1967 edition of the Des Moines Register. It featured the results of a Gallup Poll regarding respect for police and the existence of police brutality.
These poll figures on police from 50 years ago provide a startling glimpse at the rise of the modern American police state.
Not quite half a century ago, and following the summer riots in Detroit and other cities across the U.S. no less, most Americans trusted and respected the police. Nearly eight out of 10 adults responded they had a “great deal” of respect for police.

Silver looks like it has bottomed and will move substantially higher. Why?
Long Term – 25+ years: Examine the silver to gold ratio since 1990. The ratio is currently low and appears to have bottomed. Silver bottoms when the ratio bottoms. Expect a multi-year rally.
Medium Term – 15+ years. The US national debt is huge, moving higher, and has effectively zero chance of stabilizing or decreasing in the next decade. A poorly built mobile home is more likely to survive a Category 5 Hurricane than the US national debt will decrease.

from Vlad Tepes Blog:
When you dare to take a look at the border town of Nickelsdorf,
population 1,600, you will literally be blown away: uncontrolled,
illegal migrants wherever you look, and an orgy of garbage and feces of
unparalleled dimensions.
As early as arriving at the railway station in Nickelsdorf one will notice crowds surrounding ‘Trafiks’ (slang for tobacconist). An astonishingly high number of immigrants – or migrants, want to pay with 500 Euro-bills. The Trafikant is obviously overwhelmed by this payment method, which seems to have been going on for a long while now. The customers are baffled for being rejected due to lack of change.

The word out of China is that China is selling massive quantities of US
Treasury bonds. At the same time China has been a huge buyer of gold.
My thought is that China wants to back the yuan with gold and thus the
yuan will be the world’s only gold-backed currency.
Countries Preparing For A Collapse In Global Fiat Currencies
In this way, China wants to be on an economic par with the US. Russia is also buying physical gold, as are most of the central banks. They may be preparing for a collapse in fiat currencies. I advise my subscribers to buy as much bullion gold as they can. It seems that the central banks don’t trust the garbage money that they themselves have created. Many veterans are now afraid to store money with banks or even with the government. They are buying small quantities of silver and gold because these items always represent wealth and will not decline in the bear market.

Lt. Col. Robert Maginnis, a military strategist with the Pentagon, said
on Wednesday that President Obama’s foreign policy in the Middle East
has “accelerated Christian genocide” and left the region in chaos.
“[Obama’s] Middle East policies – what they are – not only have accelerated Christian genocide but have left the region totally in turmoil and inflamed,” said Maginnis at a discussion about his new book at the Family Research Council in Washington, D.C., where he is a senior fellow.
Maginnis said he believes Obama has shaped his foreign policy — including the fight against the so-called Islamic State and other terrorist groups that are perpetrating genocide — around his administration’s efforts to cut a nuclear deal with the Islamic state of Iran.

As the journal points out, the omnipresence of GMOs are taken for granted by most physicians. They aren’t high on their list of health concerns, and barely receive a mention when patients come for a visit. This might start to change though, due to 2 fresh developments concerning GM crops.
