Hellstorm

from Zen Gardner:

This is now the completed “full length” documentary of a previous posting here of just the “trailer” for this film by Kyle Hunt. It’s truly FANTASTIC in its scope of content and quality of production..!! PLEASE share this video to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the SINGLE greatest act of terror AND of a TRUE “genocidal holocaust” near the very end of World War II…!!!
MORE people died by way of the RAF (British) fire-bombing of Dresden on February 13th & 14th, 1945 (and the 3 following days of subsequent American fighter-plane “strafing”)., than in the nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki COMBINED.!!
Holocaust (noun): “Great destruction resulting in the extensive loss of life., especially by fire”

US "Ally" Saudi Arabia's Phony War On Terror

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/22/2015 - 10:32 The main shortcoming of today’s militarized approach to fighting terrorism is simple - unless the expansion of dangerous ideologies like Wahhabism is stopped, the global war on terror, now almost a generation old, will never be won. No matter how many bombs the US and its allies drop, the Saudi-financed madrassas will continue to indoctrinate tomorrow’s jihadists.

Existing Home Sales Collapse - Worst November In History

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/22/2015 - 10:14 The 10.5% crash in existing home sales is the worst November drop ever. Against expectations of a mere 0.2% drop, this is the largest miss in history asnd tumbles SAAR sales to the weakest since March 2014. The collapse in sales was across all regions, and ironically was accompanied by a rise in median home prices across all regions. Of course there was plenty of blame to go around, from inventory constraints to weather but most of all - paperwork - as new regulations - Know Before You Owe initiative, has meant longer closing times. In other words, wait til next month, it will all be great!?

UK To Deploy More Boots To Afghanistan After Suicide Bomber Kills Six US Troops

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/22/2015 - 10:02 Britain is set to deploy additional troops to the fight in Afghanistan after a suicide bomber on a motorbike killed six US troops near Bagram. The Taliban advance in Helmand underscores the country's worsening security situation and suggests that in relatively short order, Afghanistan will once again become a key battleground in what has become a multi-state regional proxy war.

Something Crazy Is Going On In Swedish Money Markets

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/22/2015 - 09:54 It appears Swedish banks are falling over themselves to get rid of excess cash. We noted Swedish banks refusing to open bank accounts in September, and warned in October of a "giant wave of money" heading into Sweden thanks to the Riksbank-ECB policy divergence, and now, Swedish banks are paying each other to take cash off their balance sheets into year-end, as 1-week STIBOR crashes to -1.792%.

Chipotl-E.coli Slides Below $500 As JPM Has Had Enough, Downgrades To Neutral On "Negative News Flow"

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/22/2015 - 09:47 For weeks in a row, every new instance of an E.coli outbreak at Chipotle was taken by the BTFD crowd as an opportunity to, well, BTF-E.Coli, and as a result sharp intraday drops on recurring disease outbreak headlines led to prompt recoveries in CMG's price. However, this may no longer be the case: following yesterday's announcement of yet more cases emerging involving E.coli, one of CMG's biggest defenders, JPM analyst John Ivankoe has thrown in the towel, and first thing this morning downgraded the stock from Buy to Neutral, and lowered his target stock price from $630 to $555.

US Economy Grew At 2.0% In Final Q3 Estimate; Massive Inventory Overhang A Key Risk For Future Growth

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/22/2015 - 08:48 In today's anticlimatic economic print of the day, moments ago the BEA reported that Q3 GDP declined from 2.1% as per the first revision reported a month ago to 1.97%, fractionally higher than the 1.9% expected, as a result of a modest decline in Personal Consumption Expenditures as well as Private Inventories and Net Trade, offset by a fractional pick up in Fixed Investment, a category which will see far more downside in the quarters to come unless oil prices rebound, and the smallest possible increase in government spending.

Gartman Turns "Very, Very Quietly Bullish Of Crude" Even As Stock Prices Set To "Head Materially Lower"

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/22/2015 - 08:24 "... we fear that prices are soon to head lower… and perhaps materially so. Thus, it is not only wise, it is reasonable, that we shall increase the size of our derivatives positions to make quite certain that our net long position is covered completely and that we are indeed as “net neutral” as we can possibly be.... ... we do find ourselves quietly… very, very quietly… turning away from being manifestly and overtly bearish of crude to being bullish as the term structures continue to shift."

It’s Official: Over A Trillion Dollars A Year Will Be Added To The Debt During Obama’s Presidency

by Michael Snyder, The Economic Collapse Blog:

Under Barack Obama, the U.S. national debt has risen from $10,626,877,048,913.08 on January 20th, 2009 to $18,795,033,928,275.59 on December 21st, 2015.  That means that the debt that we are passing on to future generations has increased by 8.16 trillion dollars since Barack Obama was inaugurated.  There is still a little more than a year to go in Obama’s presidency, and it is already guaranteed that Obama will add more than a trillion dollars a year to the national debt during his presidency.  In fact, when you do the math, we are stealing more than 100 million dollars from future generations of Americans every single hour of every single day.  It is a crime of a magnitude that is almost unimaginable, and at this point it is mathematically impossible for the U.S. government to pay off all of this debt.  To say that we are in trouble would be a massive understatement.

Silver: May the 100 Year Force Be With You

by Gary Christenson, Deviant Investor:
What force?  Some of the “forces” in our world that are supportive of higher silver prices are:

• Debt Increases: Global debt exceeds $200 Trillion and rising rapidly.

• Warfare: Syria, Turkey, Russia, Ukraine, South China Sea, Chicago and others.  It is a long list.

• Welfare: Bank bailouts, military contractors, Medicaid, food stamps, dozens of “programs” and so much more.

• Central bank “money printing:” Bank of Japan, European Central Bank, the Federal Reserve, Bank of England and others are doing what they do best – devaluing their currencies.  The bubbles created in the bond, stock, and currency markets must be fed and supported.

There is little doubt that the world is drowning in debt.  The choices seem to be:

The Catastrophic Threat of Bail-Ins

by Jeff Nielson, Bullion Bulls:
It is now more than 2 ½ years since the Cyprus Steal: the first “bail-in” perpetrated in the Western world. Before reviewing the history of this newest, financial atrocity, it is necessary to begin with definition of terms.
A “bail-in” is when a bank confiscates private property in its own possession, to indemnify itself for losses it has suffered. It is a totally lawless theft of assets, as there is no principle of law (of any kind) which could authorize such a seizure of private property – and many principles of law which demonstrate the lawlessness at work here. As with much of this financial-crime jargon, it is simply another gibberish euphemism, like “quantitative easing” or “derivatives”.

Hillary: ISIS ‘Showing Videos of Donald Trump…to Recruit More Radical Jihadists;’ Trump: ‘Clinton Lied’

from CNS News:
In the Democratic presidential debate hosted by ABC News in New Hampshire on Saturday night, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said that ISIS is “showing videos of Donald Trump insulting Islam and Muslims in order to recruit more radical jihadists.” Donald Trump responded by tweeting that “Hillary Clinton lied” and then stood by his Tweet in an interview on ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday morning.
On the same edition of ABC’s “This Week,” Clinton communications director Jennifer Palmieri said that Clinton “didn’t have a particular video in mind” when she said that ISIS was “showing videos of Donald Trump” to recruit jihadists, but that ISIS was using Trump “in social media.”
Here are excerpts from what Clinton said about Trump in Saturday night’s debate:

Do We Need The Fed? (Spoiler Alert: No!)

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/22/2015 - 11:21 The only way to restore economic stability and avoid a major economic crisis is to end the Fed, or at least allow Americans to use alterative currencies. Some economists and policy makers claim that the way to stop the Federal Reserve from causing economic chaos is not to end the Fed but to force the Fed to adopt a “rules-based” monetary policy. Adopting rules-based monetary policy may seem like an improvement, but, because it still allows a secretive central bank to manipulate the money supply, it will still result in Fed-created booms and busts.
