by Kurt Nimmo, Infowars:
Amid accusations by the United States Russia is conducting airstrikes
on “moderate” opposition to the government of Bashar al-Assad, a Kremlin
spokesman hinted all the mercenaries in Syria are “immoderate.”“I don’t think anybody has yet explained what moderate opposition is, and Putin demonstrated quite active interest in the issue and asked in which way the moderate opposition was different from the immoderate opposition,” Dmitry Peskov, Vladimir Putin’s spokesman, told Rossiya 1 TV. On Friday in Paris at the Normandy format talks the issue was discussed. During the meeting Putin had one-on-one conversations with German and French leaders.
Putin told his French counterpart Francois Hollande Russia is targeting terrorists and protecting the territorial integrity of Syria.

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 10/04/2015 - 11:15 "The Russian intervention is a massive setback for those states backing the opposition, particularly within the region – Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Turkey – and is likely to elicit a strong response in terms of a counter-escalation."
Lawrence Wilkerson: "The American 'Empire' Is In Deep, Deep Trouble"
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 10/04/2015 - 22:30 Former US army colonel and Chief of Staff for Colin Powell, Lawrence Wilkerson unleashed a most prescient speech on the demise of the United States Empire. Wilkerson describes the path of empires in decline, shows how the US is following the classic trajectory, and needs to make a transition to being one of many powers and focus more on strategies of international cooperation... "History tells us we’re probably finished... The rest of of the world is awakening to the fact that the United States is 1) strategically inept and 2) not the power it used to be. And that the trend is to increase that."
Emerging Market Meltdown May Plunge Global Economy Into Recession
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 10/04/2015 - 21:45 "The impotence of monetary policy in boosting growth and staving off deflationary pressures has become painfully apparent, especially when it is acting in isolation and when a large number of countries are resorting to the same limited playbook."
And Scene: Ben Bernanke Says More People Should Have Gone To Jail For Causing The Great Recession
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 10/04/2015 - 21:16 Q. Should somebody have gone to jail.Bernanke: Yeah, yeah I think so. It would have been my preference to have more investigation of individual actions as obviously everything that went wrong, or was illegal, was done by some individial not by an abstract firm.
The Perilous Misperception That Central Bankers Have Mitigated Market Risk
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 10/04/2015 - 21:00 Never have markets carried so much risk. And never have markets been as vulnerable to an abrupt change in perceptions with regard to central banker competence, effectiveness and capabilities. At the minimum, global markets will function poorly, but risk is now high for a disorderly – Party Crashing - "run" on financial markets, as faith in central banking begins to wane.

China's President Confirms Practice Of Moving Official Reserve Assets To Other Entities In China
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 10/04/2015 - 19:29 Chinese President Xi Jinping recently confirmed the practice of moving the People’s Bank of China’s reserve assets to other entities in China: “some assets in foreign exchanges were transferred from the central bank to domestic banks, enterprises and individuals” This might explain where some of China’s gold hoard, that many suspect they posses but have not reported as reserves, may be located.

It's The Entrepreneur That Saves An Economy – Not The Fed
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 10/04/2015 - 18:00 The markets are beginning to show just how tall and flimsy this house of cards built on QE quicksand has grown. Entrepreneurs and ideas thrive in that type of environment. Exactly what we so desperately need. Yet, instead, all we have is this crony styled, unicorn imagined monstrosity of all that’s unholy to true business principles. "Markets right themselves with pain... That’s Capitalism. Back room manipulation to avoid that pain only increases the severity of it down the road."
Deutsche Bank Boosts German GDP Forecast Due To "Surge In Immigration"
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 10/04/2015 - 17:29 As the German refugee crisis has now dragged down not only Merkel, whose popularity rating just tumbled to a four year low "reflecting growing concern over the influx of hundreds of thousands of refugees into Germany, a poll showed on Thursday", but has exposed "free speech" advocate Facebook as merely another government propaganda pawn, Germany has been scrambling to find some silver lining on this scandal. It did just that on Friday, when the bank with the greatest amount of notional derivatives in Europe and the world, Deutsche Bank, raised its German 2016 GDP forecast "because the heavy influx of migrants would increase consumption as much as half a percentage point."
Here Come The Money Helicopters!
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 10/04/2015 - 16:30 Japan has a nigh endless supply of insane Keynesians doing the same thing over and over and over again. But support is now growing around the world for the next round ofspending to be funded by “People’s QE.” The idea behind “People’s QE” is that central banks would directly fund government spending... and even inject money directly into household bank accounts, if need be. And the idea is catching on. That’s the monster coming to towns and villages near you! Call it “overt monetary financing.” Call it “money from helicopters.” Call in “insane.” But it won’t be unpopular. Who will protest when the feds begin handing our money to “mid- and low-income households”?from roypotterqa:
The title is enough to explain my anger and disgust for US Policy and its enforcement arm, the Pentagon and DOD, the US Military!
The Minister of Agriculture, Water Affairs, and Fisheries has rejected
a biotech appeal for the commercialization of GM potatoes throughout
South Africa. This is part of the changing tide concerning the
cultivation of GM crops, since Russia, Germany, France, Scotland,
Northern Ireland, and more have all banned GM crops now.The African Centre for Biodiversity (ACB) with the support of the South African public, has been petitioning the Agricultural Research Council (ARC) to refuse GM potatoes known as SpuntaG2 for commercialization.

“It is not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog”
This axiom is soon going to be put to the test in the United States. In any upcoming revolution, the American people will be outnumbered by foreign troops and Artificially Intelligent Robots and other high tech devices designed to destroy any rebellion. The Russians could be coming down our chimneys by Christmas. With the Russians and the Chinese gaining a foothold in the Middle East, the isolation of our allies by Putin’s superior strategies, and the soon-t0-be-collapsing economy, America will soon become Amerika.
In the next three parts of this series, I will detail how America is being carved up like a Thanksgiving turkey. America has no chance of surviving its massive debt, impending war and the social chaos that will very soon consume this country.

Hillary “Benghazi blood on her hands” Clinton took the guns away from those wanting to defend Ambassador Stephens by ignoring requests for protection, and I’m sure having a part in making sure the Seals stood down….and now she is committed to doing the same in America. Her evil campaign rhetoric denouncing gun violence again. This time based on the Oregon shootings that was blatantly an inside manufactured job. At least in my opinion.
All I have to say is this – when is she going to jail for all her past sins and brutal actions in killing so many others? Where does one start when adding up all the assassinations and mysterious deaths of those surrounding the closet full of bones of the Clinton legacy of past sins?

“‘Good morning, ma’am,” a member of the uniformed Secret Service once greeted Hillary Clinton.
“F— off,” she replied.
That exchange is one among many that active and retired Secret Service agents shared with Ronald Kessler, author of “First Family Detail,” a compelling look at the intrepid personnel who shield America’s presidents and their families — and those whom they guard.

QUESTION: Hello Martin,
First let me say thank you for all that you do keeping us informed on the markets and geopolitical events.
I’ve been an avid reader of yours for many years and especially your typed correspondence during the years of incarceration.
My question pertains to today’s “Gold and Money Supply” article. Since gold will only rise during a crisis in government, do you consider gold a leading indicator and if so would the precious metal then rise in value ahead of main stream media letting the public know we are in trouble?

The new statement is a followup to the society’s 2009 report, which highlighted the existing research on the health threats of EDCs.
“The evidence is more definitive than ever before – EDCs disrupt hormones in a manner that harms human health,” said Andrea C. Gore of the University of Texas at Austin, who chaired the task force that drafted the statement.

Americans hold the U.S. Congress in very low esteem, with 49% rating
the way Congress is handling its job as poor or bad and 15% rating it as
excellent or good. But ratings of Congress are even worse among those
who know the most about America’s legislative body. Among those who
answer four or five questions correctly about how Congress works and who
runs it, 66% rate Congress as poor or bad, and 7% rate it as excellent
or good.
These results are based on a new Gallup study on U.S. adults’ attitudes toward Congress. Americans’ low evaluations of Congress have been evident across many different measures in recent years, including the current 14% Congressional job approval rating and at or near all-time lows in confidence in the legislative branch of government.
