Albert Edwards Is In Love With This Asset That Hasn't Had A Losing Year Since 2007
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 02/25/2016 - 15:09 "Name me a major asset that has not seen one single yoy decline since the start of 2007? Clearly not equities or commodities. What about bonds? Again clearly not corporate bonds. What about 10y government bonds? I?ll give you a clue. It?s not the US, UK or Germany, all which saw negative yoy returns, most notably in 2013."Prepare To See Many More Ads Like This One

Apple Responds To The Government: "No Court Has Ever Authorized What The Government Seeks"
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 02/25/2016 - 15:43 The government says: “Just this once” and “Just this phone.” But the government knows those statements are not true; indeed the government has filed multiple other applications for similar orders, some of which are pending in other courts. Once the floodgates open, they cannot be closed, and the device security that Apple has worked so tirelessly to achieve will be unwound without so much as a congressional vote

If no concrete progress is made by the time EU officials convene a summit with Turkey early next month, Brussels says "the whole system will completely break down."
Some Things Should Stay Dead
Presented with no comment...
from The Daily Sheeple:
Long before refugees from Syria started trickling into Europe, and long before Germany went on a moral crusade to let every third worlder into their country, there was Sweden. Most European countries had started shifting into multi-cultural societies decades ago, but Sweden was arguable the first country to really open the floodgates. While there are other European nations with a higher percentage of foreign-born citizens and residents, Sweden was the first to let in so many people from countries with radically different cultures than their own.
As a result, the social fabric of their society is beginning to tear. The police are overwhelmed, their welfare system is overburdened, and their borders are crumbling.

The Saudis just made a shocking admission made in the international press. During an interview on RT Arabic, Dahham Al Anzi of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, discussed why the Arab world feel the need for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to be removed from power. He also reaffirmed the need for a ground invasion to accomplish that goal.
In the video below, while outlining the weapons of war he confirmed that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia possess a Nuclear Bomb.
Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev has warned that the deployment of foreign ground troops in the Syria conflict could result in World War III. When asked about a recent proposal from Saudi Arabia to send in ground troops to Syria, the Russian prime minister answered that “the Americans and our Arab partners must consider whether or not they want a permanent war.”

Trump Gains Yuuge Lead At Bookies; Everything Establishment Knew About Politics "Is Out Of The Window"
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 02/25/2016 - 14:40 "It's time to say no to professional politicians and yes to someone who has created jobs and grown a business," says Chris Collins, a Republican congressman from Trump's home state of New York, but he is among a quiet few among the entrenched establishment that is "confused and cowed" as The Donald soars to a massive lead at the bookies.
from Washington’s Blog:
The U.S. government, from Dick Cheney to Hillary Clinton, told blatant lies about the Iraqi government creating chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons in 2002, despite having been informed of the fact that Iraq was doing no such thing. U.S. leaders lied about ties between Iraq and terrorists that they also knew did not exist.
Then the U.S. military attacked and invaded Iraq, in the process heavily bombing old sites of Iraqi chemical weapons from the 1980s, many of those weapons having been provided by the United States. In large part because of the U.S. origin of the old Iraqi chemical weapons, the U.S. kept quiet about them during the new war.

Where Negative Interest Rates Will Lead Us
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 02/25/2016 - 13:35 The real pity is that the busts and crackups could all have been avoided if central bankers recognized that falling prices eventually create the conditions for a normal economic revival. Deflation is not a death spiral as the Keynesians believe. Nevertheless, expect more central banks to follow the early leaders — Switzerland, Sweden, Denmark, and even the European Central Bank itself — into negative interest rate territory. The crying shame is that it will not work and will cause great harm to hundreds of millions of people.European Parliament Demands Arms Embargo After Saudis Rack Up "Impressive" 3,000 Civilian Kills In Yemen

Will Donald Trump be assassinated now that he is clearly the front runner? What are the odds? How will it be done? Will a patsy be recruited to carry out the deed. How is Trump like Robert Kennedy in 1968?
Is the government, as Jesse Ventura once asserted carrying out super soldier experiments with human/animal hybirds? This is freaky beyond belief.

Are we entering a new era where cash is outlawed and a cashless society is becoming an Orwellian reality? The European Central Bank President Mario Draghi recently said that the bank is “considering action” to drop 500 euro notes because of its links to criminal activities. The former treasury secretary and director of the National Economic Council in the White House, Lawrence H. Summers is also calling for the elimination of the 500 euro notes and the $100 bill in a Washington Post article where he referred to Harvard’s ‘Mossavar Rahmani Center for Business and Government’which he is the current director, published a paper by senior fellow Peter Sands and current students for making “a compelling case for stopping the issuance of high denomination notes like the 500 euro note and $100 bill or even withdrawing them from circulation.”

You’ve probably heard a few explanations for why the U.S. market keeps falling: Low oil prices, interest rates, trouble in Europe/China…
But here’s one that isn’t being talked about enough: Recession.
Or, at the very least, the possibility of one.
The U.S. economy expanded at a 2.4% clip last year, and just 0.7% in the fourth quarter.
It really wouldn’t take that much to tip it negative.
In fact, the economies of four U.S. states are already contracting – those of Alaska, North Dakota, West Virginia, and Wyoming. Three more states (New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Louisiana) are on the cusp.

On Friday, the United States rejected a draft resolution by Russia that was intended to prevent a Turkish invasion of Syria. Moscow had called for an emergency meeting of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to address its growing concern that Turkey is planning to send thousands of ground troops and armored vehicles it has massed on its southern border, into Syria to protect Turkish-backed militants and to block the Kurdish militia, the YPG, from establishing a contiguous state in northern Syria. Moscow’s one-page resolution was a thoroughly-straightforward document aimed at preventing a massive escalation in a conflict that has already claimed the lives of 250, 000 and left the country in ruins.
