The already laughable story that the passport of a Syrian refugee had been found next to the bodies of one of the dead terrorists took an even more surreal twist when we learned hours ago that according to both French and US sources, the passport was most likely a fake.
The French Campaign Begins: Hollande Launches "Massive Bombardment" Of ISIS Capital
Well that didn't take long. With the help of US "intelligence", French warplanes are reportedly hammering Raqqa on Sunday evening in retailiation for the massacre in Paris on Friday. The question now, is whether French boots are on the way to Syrian ground and if so, what those boots will ultimately do once the ISIS "threat" is eliminated.In the “land of the free,” where the principle of “freedom of movement” was recognized by the U.S. Supreme Court as a constitutional right as far back as 1823, today, it seems, there is no such “right,” at least as far as some federal agencies are concerned.
You can blame a familiar culprit: the “war” on drugs.
As reported by TechDirt, USA Today reporter Brad Heath made an interesting observation in a tweet, pointing out that an asset forfeiture file from the California Central District Court made such drug-related generalizations about a pair of American cities, it made everyone who travels between them a prospective suspect:

Martin Armstrong Rages "It's Time To Knock Off The BS About 'Surveillance For Terrorism'"
"The worldwide collection of phone calls, emails, text messages and our total loss of privacy is all about taxes – NOT terrorism. With all this power, and the demand that encryption be outlawed, none of this surveillance has stopped one terrorist act... Let’s knock off the bullshit and stop the Stasi tactic of building files on everyone. Focus on just the targets to protect society sand we just might stop something like this if we tried."Global Trade (Still) In Freefall: Imports Collapse At Largest Three US Ports
For the latest bit of evidence that global trade is indeed in free fall, look no further than the container terminals at the ports of Los Angeles, Long Beach, Calif. and around New York harbor which handle more than 50% of seaborne freight coming into the US. As it turns out, “peak” season turned out to be anything but.The Bubble Finance Cycle - What Our Keynesian School Marm Doesn't Get, Part 2
Greenspan’s phony disinflation success led to the Fed’s embrace of fully mobilized and massively intrusive monetary policy in the guise of the Great Moderation and the wealth effects theory of financial asset levitation. In due course, Greenspan’s self-aggrandizing but purely experimental forays of massive central bank intrusion in the financial markets were supplanted by the hard-core Keynesian model of Bernanke and Yellen. Alas, they operated under the grand illusion that a domestic wage and price spiral would tell them when the domestic GDP bathtub was filled to the full employment brim, and therefore when to lift their foot from the monetary accelerator. It never happened, and they never did. The era of Lite Touch monetary policy was by now ancient history."Paris Changes Everything": German Lawmakers Call For End To Merkel's "Open-Door" Migrant Policy
"The days of uncontrolled immigration and illegal entry can't continue just like that. Paris changes everything."Mid-East Stocks, US Futures Slide As Goldman Warns Of Paris Attacks' Negative Implications For Markets
Following the weakness in the few minutes of after-hours trading on Friday's US session that overlapped with the first headlines from France, we are getting a first glimpse at the posible fallout from the Paris terror attacks. The Middle Eastern stock markets tumbled significantly with Saudi Arabia's Tadawul All Share index down 3% (biggest drop in 3 months) to its lowest since December 2012, and Dubai's FMG Index plunged 3.7% to its lowest since 2014. Short-run implication for the equity market is likely to be negative according to Goldman, with a notably higher risk premium regarding uncertainties about the medium-term political implications.I have received a report from European security that there was a massive cyber attack on French systems 48 hours prior to and during the Paris attacks. Amongest other things, the attack took down the French mobile data network and blinded police surveilance The attack was not a straightforward DDOS attack but a sophisticated attack that targeted a weakness in infrastructure hardware.
Such an attack is beyond the capability of most organizations and requires capability that is unlikely to be in ISIL’s arsenal. An attack on this scale is difficult to pull off without authorities getting wind of it. The coordination required suggests state involvement.

Goldman Assesses EM's "Original Debt Sin," Finds Burnt Turkey
by Mac Slavo, SHTFPlan:
As political tensions heat up it is becoming clear that the world’s super powers are vying for control of resources like oil, water, metals and food. And though developed nations have thus far avoided any significant clashes with each other, the proxy wars being waged in the middle east and Europe are a slow burning fuse that will soon lead to widespread military confrontation.
Throughout human history one key factor has been behind every major war: a battle for resources. As the following documentary from Future Money Trends warns, this time will be no different:

On the morning of Friday, November 13, 2015, I published an article detailing how much danger the people of Europe and United States were in from the Jihadist Invasion of the civilized world. On October 29, 2015, I published an article which detailed how the Muslim invasion was already embedded in America. Only a few wanted to print the articles, even fewer wanted pay attention to the takeover of countries and their collective cultures by the hordes of UNSCREENED MALE MUSLIM immigrants. I have one question for those of you who ignored these well-documented, fact-based warnings.
