Perhaps
even more stunning than the photo of the alleged bomb contained in a
beer can, which ISIS says was used to blow up the Russian airplane, is
its admission that it would have used the explosive to bring
down "a plane belonging to a nation in the American-led Western
coalition against the Islamic State" only to change its mind in the last
minute.
Russia Explains To Clueless US Public Why Obama Can't Defeat ISIS
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 11/18/2015 - 17:15 “Apparently, it’s a kind of a ‘honey is sweet, but the bee stings’ situation: they want IS to weaken Assad as soon as possible to make him leave somehow, but at the same time they don’t want to overly strengthen IS, which may then seize power."

German Interior Minister Says Suicide Bomber's Syrian Passport "May Have Been Planted"
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 11/18/2015 - 11:43 Overnight none other than the German Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere said that the "Syrian passport found next to a suicide bomber in the Paris terror attacks may have been planted." “There are indications that this was a planted lead, but it still can’t be ruled out that this was indeed an IS terrorist posing as a refugee,” he told reporters in Berlin on Tuesday, referring to Islamic State, which France blames for organizing the violence.ISIS Goes Full "Jackass", Tries To Shoot Down Fighter Jet With Pickup Truck Machine Gun

U.S. Government Moves To Exploit Paris Terror Attacks To Ban Privacy
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 11/18/2015 - 11:02 You didn’t think the surveillance state would give up that easily did you? Of course not. Unsurprisingly, fresh off the heels of the Paris terror attacks, the usual authoritarian suspects in the U.S. government are running around exploiting the tragedy in a bid to further erode privacy and civil liberties.
"We Should All Be Afraid" Of The 'Brutal' Commodity & Credit Volatility
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 11/18/2015 - 16:50 "The signals across asset classes are diverging incredibly," warns Macro Risk Advisors' Dean Curnutt, "and we should all be afraid." All of that commodity volatility is rolling back into corporate credit and that, inevitably will dramatically impact equity markets (explicitly through higher funding costs weighing on earnings or implicitly through lower buybacks and higher risk premia), "the illiquidity and implied defaults that we are seeing in credit markets are not at all priced into a 2060 S&P."
European Union Challenged From Right And Left, "Maybe Too Much To Endure"
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 11/18/2015 - 17:40
The heinous ISIS attack in Paris is a game changer in Europe.
In addition to the horrific amount of individual casualties, the attack
has also threatened severe damage to the long term survivability of
the European Union as a political entity. Based on the unpopularity and
unfeasibility of immigration controls under the EU's Schengen Plan,
the events have opened up the Union to renewed attacks from the right,
just as its support from the left is crumbling as a result of
opposition to EU-mandated fiscal austerity. This two-front onslaught may be too much for the Union to endure.

"Record" El Nino Already Wreaking Havoc With California Electricity Prices
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 11/18/2015 - 13:50 Just three weeks ago we warned of "all kinds of mayhem" about to be let loose as scientists feared this year's El Nino may be among the biggest ever, and as Bloomberg reports, the impact is already being felt in California... but not in much needed rain or snow. California has yet to see the full force of El Nino, and it’s already tripping up the state’s power-demand forecasters. The state saw "significant" electricity price spikes in the third quarter as El Nino made it difficult to predict how much power would be needed with a "relatively high percentage of intervals" when prices spiked above $1,000 a megawatt-hour in the 5-minute market... 25 times normal costs!

America Is Charlie Sheen: CDC "Alarmed" At 20 Million New STD Cases Spike
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 11/18/2015 - 12:15 Charlie Sheen’s announcement that he is HIV positive has created a huge uproar as critics attack him from every direction, but the truth is that Charlie Sheen is simply a reflection of our society as a whole. You see, the truth is that it isn’t just big Hollywood stars that are engaged in risky sexual behavior. According to the CDC, there are 110 million cases of sexually-transmitted disease in America today, and another 20 million STD cases are added to that total every year. The United States has the highest STD infection rate in the entire industrialized world, and more than half of all Americans will have a sexually-transmitted disease at some point during their lives..."the increases are quite alarming."
The contraction is accelerating and crosses economic lines and industry lines. In fact, one can say 95% of the economy is driven by the consumer. For instance, Cummins engine is not a consumer stock but if consumer cannot spend the trucking industry dies. – my colleague, Hal
The Government/Fed can print money to keep the banks from collapsing and to keep the financial system “solvent,” but it can’t print economic activity. To be sure, opening up the easy credit spigot to car buyers caused a temporary bounce in auto sales. But this is not sustainable. At a certain point, the availability of car buyers who can support a monthly car loan payment gets exhausted. Over 30% of all new cars sold to the private sector are now financed with sub-prime and deep sub-prime loans. Car repo rates are going through the roof according to my sources in the industry. Recently a high percentage of car sales were “fleet” sales to the Government.

from The Sleuth Journal:
Unsurprisingly, Western media ignored what has all the earmarks of a well-planned false flag – Washington perhaps complicit with France.
Maybe Israel was involved to justify its reign of terror on Palestine. The usual suspects were blamed (ISIS terrorists, of course) before the dust settled – the clearest indication of a Big Lie.
A joint FBI/Department of Homeland Security statement said “(w)e will not hesitate to adjust our security posture, as appropriate, to protect the American people.” Expect harsher police repression ahead.

ISIS was created and still funded by your tax dollars...Blood on who's hands?
by Joshua Krause, The Daily Sheeple:
The violence in Paris has prompted
former and current CIA directors, and even a presidential candidate, to
blame the inability to thwart attacks on “unauthorized disclosures” by
NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, despite admitting intelligence
failures.
“In the past several years,
because of a number of unauthorized disclosures and a lot of
handwringing over the government’s role in the effort to try to uncover
these terrorists, there have been some policy and legal and other
actions that are taken to make our ability collectively internationally
to find these terrorists much more challenging…” CIA Director John Brennan told a reporter who asked how the Paris attack had happened when the world’s leading intelligence agencies “didn’t even catch a whiff of it as far as we’re to understand.”

from Paul Craig Roberts:
Some people who are not inclined to believe the official story of the Paris attack are troubled by the question why Muslim suicide bombers would blow themselves up for a false flag attack. The answer to this question is very simple. But first we should dispose of the question whether suicide bombers did blow themselves up. Is this something that we know, or is it part of the story that we are told? For example, we were told that during 9/11 passengers in hijacked airliners used their cell phones to call relatives, but experts have testified that the technology of the time did not permit cell phone calls from airliners at those altitudes.
To dispose of the question whether we have or do not have any real evidence that suicide bombers blew themselves up, I will assume that they did.

Never wasting an opportunity for base point-scoring, some Western leaders appear to be capitalising on the horror of the Paris terror attacks to cajole Russia into accepting their regime-change agenda in Syria. From the G20 summit in Turkey last weekend, the West is fashioning a new twist in the narrative which seeks insidiously to lay the blame, at least in part, on Russia for the horrific carnage in the French capital – that happened just two days before the G20 met in Turkey’s Antalya.
Even more distastefully, some Western voices are also crafting the implication that Vladimir Putin’s military intervention in Syria was responsible for the downing of the Russian passenger plane over Sinai in which 224 people were killed.
