Egon von Greyerz: “Eric, the confiscation of money from savers and
investors is continuing at an alarming rate. The latest proposal now in
Australia is to tax bank deposits. But it won’t stop at that because
as desperate governments worldwide increase their deficits and financing
requirements, they will announce even more draconian measures against
savers…
“I expect governments in the U.S., Europe and Japan, to force savers to invest in government bonds. It will be the same with pension funds and insurance companies. Any surplus within the financial system will be used to finance ever-increasing government debt issuance.

A U.S. military exercise involving hundreds of special operations
forces including Navy SEALs and Army Green Berets that is set to kick
off in a number of states around the country and focus on the South and
Southwest is prompting a number of patriot organizations to man up and
launch what they describe as a massive “counter surveillance exercise.”In response to these covert domestic military exercises, activists have launched a Facebook page titled “Counter Jade Helm Exercises” that is hosted by Pete Lanteri, former president of Icon Tactical Industries.
“Since the military wants to infiltrate our towns for practice, then We the Patriots should use this as a counter surveillance exercise!!”

“Tel Aviv doesn’t need US permission to attack Iran”
from Veterans Today:
Israel says all options including military action are on the table in the face of Iran’s nuclear program.
Israel’s intelligence minister said Tel Aviv would attack Iran if it has no other choice. Yuval Steinitz also said that Israel does not need permission from the United States for military action against Tehran.
Iran has already warned that it will give a crushing response to any aggression on its soil. Israel, the sole possessor of nuclear weapons in the Middle East, has repeatedly claimed that Tehran is seeking arms in its nuclear program. Iran has strongly rejected that as fabricated and baseless.

Should We Obey Authority … No Matter What?
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is coordinating with Christian ministers nationwide so that – if the government imposes MARTIAL LAW – the ministers will urge their flocks to OBEY the government.
A number of Christian leaders say that Christians must obey the government … no matter what. For example, Robert Deffinbaugh – pastor at Community Bible Chapel in Richardson, Texas – says:
Whether the government be totalitarian or democratic, the Christian’s obligation to submit to it is the same.

Artist's Impression Of John Kerry's Arrival Back In Washington

Here’s
a sobering statistic: police in the United States killed more people in
the month of March of this year than British police have in more than
100 years.
The number of fatalities involving the police is at more than 100
in the past month — 111 to be exact — which comes to about three people
killed by police each day in the United States.
The White House Task Force on 21st Century Policing issued a report last month recommending that the police focus on tactics that would “de-escalate” a situation to make it less likely that someone would end up getting shot and killed.

The drought in California is getting a lot worse. As you read this, snowpack levels in the Sierra Nevada mountains are the lowest that have ever been recorded.
That means that there won’t be much water for California farmers and
California cities once again this year. To make up the difference in
recent years, water has been pumped out of the ground like crazy. In
fact, California has been losing more than 12 million acre-feet of groundwater a year
since 2011, and wells all over the state are going dry. Once the
groundwater is all gone, what are people going to do? 100 years ago,
the population of the state of California was 3 million, and during the
20th century we built lots of beautiful new cities in an area that was
previously a desert. Scientists tell us that the 20th century was the
wettest century in 1000 years for that area of the country, but now
weather patterns are reverting back to normal. Today, the state of
California is turning back into a desert but it now has a population of
38 million people. This is not sustainable in the long-term. So when
the water runs out, where are they going to go?Read More…
Warren Buffett Is Everything That's Wrong With America
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/03/2015 - 16:00 Warren Buffett is revered all over the place, but in reality, he’s the schoolbook example of everything that’s wrong with America. That whole money before and over anything else (including people’s health and well-being) mentality. It makes people stupid, and it makes for stupid people. And sick ones, too. This Tragedy of the Commons abuse is so ingrained in the economy that it’s hard to see how it can be changed. And that does not bode well for anyone except the Warren Buffetts profiteering from it.
Sometimes I think that the next Revolutionary War will take place in vegetable garden battlefields, all across America.Instead of bullets, there will be seeds. Instead of chemical warfare, there will be rainwater, carefully collected from the gutters of the house. Instead of soldiers in body armor and helmets, there will be backyard guerrillas, with bare feet, cut-off jean shorts, and wide-brimmed hats. Instead of death, there will be life, sustained by a harvest of home-grown produce. Children will be witness to these battles, but instead of being traumatized, they will be happy, grimy, and healthy, as they learn about the miracles that take place in a little plot of land or pot of dirt.

It sure is lucky those Ivy League educated economists at those Wall
Street criminal banks are paid millions per year. How else could we get
such accurate forecasts about job growth in the U.S. These mental
midgets predicted 245,000 new Obama jobs (bartenders, waitresses, house
cleaners, clerks, fry cooks) in March. Even the BLS has run out of
bullshit and lies. Those dramatic job increases in January and February
were cut by 69,000 jobs. That is a 13% error. If I make a 13% error
doing my job, I’d be fired. The BLS government drones have the power to
move markets with their bullshit reports. It’s funny how the negative
revision is put at the very end of their 2,000 word press release.

Before airing the two hour documentary Going Clear : Scientology and
the Prison of Belief, HBO hired 160 lawyers to fight against the
church’s vicious and litigious ways. Considering the contents of the
documentary, it is understandable. Going Clear explores the world of
Scientology which combines pseudo-religion, pseudo-esoterica, indecent
amounts of cash and lots of Hollywood star-power to form one big,
powerful, tax-exempt absurdity. The documentary explains how the
church’s Hollywood stars are pawns to its grand scheme, how those who go
against it are blackmailed and even how “Scientology-approved” wives
are groomed to be in a relationship with Scientology stars.

With Russia’s new military bases in Manitoba, Ontario, and Bermuda, it is clear that the U.S. is losing the critical base race. Compare the maps to see how vulnerable America has become to Russian aggression. By my count, Russia has leaped ahead, and we can expect nuclear missiles to rain down on us any day, or worse, our school children being forced to drink vodka at lunch so their innocent minds can be ravaged by Tchaikovsky and Tolstoy.

Sounds like something that Adolph Hitler himself would try to pull off with a population!
Americans need to be on high-alert when it comes to this program, which if instituted will violate so many American rights under the U.S. Constitution it’s hard to know where to start.

“All
this was inspired by the principle — which is quite true in itself —
that in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility;
because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in
the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or
voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they
more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they
themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed
to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their
heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that
others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even
though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to
their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think
that there may be some other explanation. For the grossly impudent lie
always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a
fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who
conspire together in the art of lying. These people know only too well
how to use falsehood for the basest purposes…” — Hitler Mein Kampf

Australia, Britain, and Germany, have signed up to join. Japan is still
wavering politely.
The US government sees the China-dominated AIIB as competition to the US-dominated World Bank and Asian Development Bank. But now that it is clear even to the White House that the US can’t stop the tide, Treasury Secretary Jack Lew backpedaled vigorously on Tuesday. The government would welcome the AIIB, he suddenly said, as long as certain conditions are met, such as adequate transparency.

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/03/2015 - 14:30 A change in liquidity, or the monetary surplus, can also take place in response to changes in economic activity and changes in prices. The effect of previously rising liquidity can continue to overshadow the effect of currently falling liquidity for some period of time. Hence the peak in the stock market emerges once declining liquidity starts to dominate the scene. Based on the peak in liquidity in June 2009 the level of the S&P500 of 2,061 reached so far in March this year could be not far from the top.Americans Not In The Labor Force Soar To Record 93.2 Million As Participation Rate Drops To February 1978 Levels
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/03/2015 - 12:32 So much for yet another "above consensus" recovery, and what's worse it is, well, about to get even worse, because while the Fed keeps baning some illusory drum that slack in the economy is almost non-existent, the reality is that in March the number of people who dropped out of the labor force rose by yet another 277K, up 2.1 million in the past year, and has reached a record 93.175 million. Indicatively, this means that the labor force participation rate dropped once more, from 62.8% to 62.7%, a level seen back in February 1978, even as the BLS reported that the entire labor force actually declined for the second consecutive month, down almost 100K in March to 156,906.
The higher financial markets rise, the harder they fall. By any
objective measurement, the stock market is currently well into bubble
territory. Anyone should be able to see this – all you have to do is
look at the charts. Sadly, most of us never seem to learn from

this time”. Well, about the only thing that is different this time is

Two months of EU bluster and reproof have failed to cow Greece. It is

Starting with the CIA’s overthrow (and some would say murder) of
Iran’s democratically-elected president in the 1950s and continuing
through our serial invasions of Iraq and our arming of Al Qaeda and
ISIS, American policy in the Middle East has been a textbook case of a
superpower with more money than brains, making things vastly worse with
every move and counter-move.
