You should STOP him…Everybody knows the man who is trying to “manufacture an Opposition” she said… he was in the room in Geneva.”"

US-NATO War Crimes against Libya - ICH - Donation Request
A quote...."January 24, 2014 "Information Clearing House - All the wars and attacks, which were started by the U. S. and its so-called allies in the wake of 9/11, have wreaked havoc. You name it, you got it: Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Somalia and perhaps even Iran. The Islamic Republic is not yet off the hook. There are strong forces in the U. S. and in the Middle East that prefer war to peace at the expense of the U. S. Right now, there is a war going on in Libya against the Western installed puppet government, without notice of the corporate media."

Hillary Clinton’s Responsibility for Libya’s Misery
A quote...."Whatever ideological tags describe Hillary and her policies, she has shown very, very bad judgment. She speaks nothing but claptrap about American values and interests. She sounds like a groupie spouting the prevalent Washington neocon rhetoric of empire. This rhetoric is devoid of any real understanding of what values and policies are “right” and will work toward the well-being of Americans and the foreign peoples with whom Americans interact. The neocon rhetoric of empire, history, Arab spring, democratism, and war is utterly and completely bankrupt in a pragmatic sense. In practice, it is producing misery and destruction in one land after another: Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Pakistan, Syria, Sudan. More of the same is promised for other African lands." - Topix ||  An African Base of Operations for More Terror - (By Their Actions We Shall Know Them) - 10-26-11 - mpg  ||

Something is Wrong in the Cradle of the “Arab Spring”: Reflections on Egypt’s Revolution Three Years Later
A quote...."Having followed and written [1] on the Egyptian uprisings since 2011, on the third anniversary of the (not yet realized) revolution I find myself somewhat befuddled. And I suspect I may not be alone in my confusion. The Egyptian revolution originally began with calls for “bread, freedom, social justice and human dignity.” Nowhere in this popular discourse were there demands for greater religiosity [2] or increased state force. Yet today we find a battle being waged in Egypt between religious extremism (and the supporters of the ousted Muslim Brotherhood), on the one hand, and repressive (Mubarak era) military and state forces, on the other."

Ukraine: Destabilization Know-How Put into Practice
Special Note - A quote...."The sudden intensification of Ukraine’s extremists appears to be spurred by Americans who cannot lose time and wait till the date of presidential election in 2015. The main task is to prevent the rapprochement between Ukraine and Russia, no way should they let Kiev sway to the East under the influence of what they call the "Putin’s economic expansion" meaning the December 17 bilateral Russia-Ukraine accords. Washington and Brussels are in haste because the choice for Ukraine’s closer cooperation with the Customs Union will automatically swing public support to Viktor Yanukovych making him the winner in 2015..."

Western and some local media outlets paint this hoodlum acts as «opposition protests» or manifestations of «radicalism». The so-called international community is adamant to accomplish its mission. The true and tried methods of inciting street revolts using inflammatory mixture of social contradictions are used for another government overthrow. If the powers that be go on shying away from taking a tough stand to contain the spread of ominous disorder, then the situation creep may result in tragic fallout…"

More Tales From the Zio-Sphere....

NSA, Israel, GVEs, Hasbara, and Gun Massacres in the USA and Beyond
Must Read - A quote...."Why would US leaders, lawmakers, intelligence and law enforcement agency administrators allow foreign intelligence and espionage agencies and their front companies unfettered, unexamined, long-term access to vast audiences of American children and young adults? And does not that question represent legitimate and vital concerns regarding privacy, public health, public safety, and national security? -- It is a matter of public record that, through its intelligence agencies and their spin-offs and many front companies, Israel is actively and deeply involved with the NSA in collecting and organizing data on Americans. The information thus collected by the NSA is shared with Britain, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand as well as Israel, but Israel is the major threat to legitimate US interests. Israel’s equivalent of the NSA, Unit 8200, or Israel SIGINT National Unit (ISNU), is notorious for its spin-off companies that become private intelligence gathering and espionage operations under Israeli control, in much the same way that Mossad has long been known to use front companies for its operations." -- Also posted at AlethoNews - Topix ||  Israel's Net Control  ||

Most US politicians outdo themselves expressing their ardor and reverence for the Jewish state. To such an extent is this the case they often resemble nothing so much as come-to-life caricatures, artfully drawn by top-drawer cartoonists whose mirthful creations can warm the cockles of the soul on even the coldest winter day. But Bill de Blasio, exhibiting that “competitive spirit” for which America is so famous, seems to be trying to out-caricature the rest...."

Colonial Partners in Israel’s Crimes
A quote...."Is it just me, or do you also see a thread of colonial superiority and racism binding US, Australia, Canada to Israel? - Think about it. All are ex-British colonies and like Israel, have a shameful history of genocide committed against their respective Indigenous Peoples and all continue to treat their First Peoples as third class citizens. - I can’t speak for the US and Canada, but, apart from realpolitik and arms trade, an underlying colonial arrogance goes a long way to explain why my ‘civilised’ ‘democratic’ Australian government is complicit in granting Israel impunity to daily perpetrate war crimes and crimes against humanity against generations of Palestinian families."

This is just stupid propaganda.  Any actual future attacks (highly doubtful) against Israel will simply be staged in an attempt to rehabilitate al-CIA'da's reputation with the "Arab Street". Which at this point, after a decade of carrying out the PNAC Protocols to the letter on behalf of Israel, should be a permanent impossibility. - mpg

Related Article - The US-NRE's tech industry is dead on arrival regarding this issue.  Every single computer and communications device made for the last decade by Silicon Valley has had both its software and hardware components totally compromised.  These firms not only willingly did this to their products and customers at the government's request, but many were paid to do so, or received lucrative government contracts or favorable treatment to do so.  Not one company demurred, protested, or refused. They can NEVER be trusted again.  Anyone using these products in the future would be an utter fool if they expected whatever they did not to be spied upon or recorded and used to their disadvantage. - mpg

More International Tales From the Declining Neo-Roman ZOG Controlled Empire....

Congress cuts U.S. military and development aid for Afghanistan
A quote...."With no perceptible opposition from the Obama administration, Congress has quietly downscaled Washington’s ambitions for the final year of the Afghan war, substantially curtailing development aid and military assistance plans ahead of the U.S. troop pullout."

U.S.-Afghan deal falters as President Hamid Karzai demands talks with Taliban
A quote...."Karzai on Saturday repeated that before he signs the BSA, the US must stop military operations and bring the Taliban to the negotiating table. - "The start of a peace process would mean that no foreigners can benefit from the continuation of war," Karzai said. - "We want to make sure that after the signing of BSA, Afghanistan will not go towards feudalism, so that no foreigner (can) create a weak central government with satellites in the provinces controlled by foreigners."" - One commentator stated.....

"Karzai is absolutely correct on this. -- And when he talks about "... no foreigners can benefit from the continuation of war," he is making a veiled reference to both the opium production, which has soared under US/NATO occupation, and the US's military industrial complex, which has profited mightily from this war. -- Although I do not particularly like the guy, I hope to high heaven that he is wearing his Kevlar undies these days." -- *Michael Rivero* -- Topix ||  US Support - Drug Trade  ||

According to a report by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), opium crops in Afghanistan occupied unprecedented areas of land in 2013, outstripping previous records. Despite the unfavourable weather conditions, particularly in western and southern parts of the country, opium plantations occupied a total of more than 209,000 hectares, exceeding the previous year’s figure by 36 percent."

Who Ya Gonna Call?
Must Read - A quote...."When the U.S. shot the first Tomahawk Cruise missile at Osama bin Laden’s satellite phone in Afghanistan — and missed — anyone with reason to worry about similar attacks stopped using methods that NSA could spook. -- There was an earlier warning during Daddy Bush’s falling-out with his buddy Panamanian strongman Manuel Noriega, probably over a dope deal: CNN was able to report the exact contents of secret conversations Manny had with his Swiss banker. Ever since, even lowly drug dealers know about FINCEN. -- Based on the record, the result is that even before Edward Snowden risked his freedom to expose the farce, the only “terrorists” the NSA spy-apparatus catch are 1. The fools who would almost certainly fail anyway (“shoe-bomber” Richard Reid, etc) and 2. The dupes the FEDS create by entrapment to make it look like they’re actually accomplishing something. Catagories 1. and 2. aren’t mutually exclusive. -- OK, actually the FEDS didn’t catch Reid, the passengers on his plane did." - Source:  LewRockwell - Topix ||  The F.B.I.'s Constant Gardening  ||

This war on gold has been going on for almost one hundred years, but it gained traction in the 1960's with the forming of the London Gold Pool.

Thai protest leader claims rallies are ‘pro-democracy’ in letter to Obama
A quote...."The "international concern" has nothing to do with the state of injustice in Thailand, and everything to do with its fragile economy. -- Unrest in Thailand has intensified and shows no signs of ne aring an end, likely disruptin g growth prospects. Although political turmoil is not unusual in Thailand, this time economic conditions had been weakening before the protests began. GDP growth should slow considerably in 2013, falling to around 3% , compared to 6.5% in the previous year. At the same time, the fiscal and external positions have deteriorated, while capital outflows accelerated in 2013. This all suggests that the political impasse will only aggravate the situation." -- *Michael Rivero*

Geneva II: US Orwellian Subterfuge – Al-Qaeda Acts as America’s Boots on the Ground in Syria
Must Read - A quote...."There is one thing that the so-called peace conference on Syria is guaranteed to achieve and that is that when the last speech is made and the delegates leave the hall, the grotesque bloodletting and devastation will continue for the people of Syria. Why? Because for the Obama Administration, the diplomatic process was never intended to bring about a peaceful resolution to the war. Its main purpose was always to affect their main strategic objective – the removal of President Bashir al-Assad from power and the disappearance of Syria as an independent state."

Libya, Syria And Now Ukraine - Color Revolution By Force
Special Note - A quote...."The same forces that instigated unruly demonstrations in 2011 in Syria are now instigating such demonstrations in the Ukraine. That at least is what I am reading out of the fact that the exactly same graphics are used to train the willing-to-fight demonstrators. How else to explain the above graphics, once with Arabic and once with in Cyrillic letters? -- Accompanying the demonstrations and illegal occupations of government buildings are in both cases brutal, criminal attacks on the police and other government forces. In Syria the violence "muscle" part was done by foreign financed Jihadists while neo-nazi gangs are used in the Ukraine. The demonstrations and the attacks on the state are planned and go together. There is nothing "peaceful" in demonstrations that are only the public-relations cover for attacks on the state. But the foreign politicians and media immediately utter "concerns" and threats over completely normal government responses to them. It is a scam to justify "western" "support" for the demonstrators and to further the violence."

Swiss Bankers, BIS and The House Of Rockefeller
Must Read - A quote...."In 1950 US corporations footed 26% of the total US tax bill.  By 1990 they were covering only 9%, contributing to massive budget deficits and the current $14 trillion US debt.  In 2009 corporate leviathans such as Bank of America, General Electric and Exxon Mobil paid no US federal taxes.  Exxon’s net profit for that year was over $45 billion.  It utilized subsidiaries in the British Crown-controlled Bahamas, Bermuda and Cayman Islands to dodge the IRS. -- These opaque offshore Eurodollar markets also launder Saudi petrodollars, CIA drug money and Mossad arms profits.  Illicit funds come out squeaky clean on the balance sheets of the global mega-banks.  Secretive Swiss banks play a key role.  The most powerful is the Bank for International Settlements (BIS)."

Top Israel Lobby Group Loses Battle on Iran, But War Not Over
A quote...."Eight years ago, Stephen Rosen, then a top official at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and well-known around Washington for his aggressiveness, hawkish views, and political smarts, was asked by Jeffrey Goldberg of the New Yorker magazine whether some recent negative publicity had harmed the lobby group’s legendary clout in Washington."

The Strange but ‘Stable’ Alliance: US Senate Await Israeli Instructions
A quote...."Israel is often viewed by Washington politicians as the most ‘stable’ ally in the Middle East. But stability from the American perspective can mean many things. Lead amongst them is that the ‘ally’ must be unconditionally loyal to the diktats of the US administration. This rule has proven to be true since the United States claimed a position of ascendency, if not complete hegemony over many regions of the world since World War II. Israel, however, remained an exception." - also posted at AlethoNews & ICH

Blasphemy in Secular France

As for himself, Shaban tells me that during the autumn olive harvests, settlers [jealous Jewish squatters and vagrants] have stoned the laborers in his fields, turned over a tractor, stolen sacks of olives and once broke a worker’s arm with a big rock – all under the eye of Israeli soldiers required by the Supreme Court to protect the farmers. - He asks: “Why do the United States, the European Union and the United Nations call Hamas terrorists and Hezbollah terrorists, but they don’t call these people terrorists?”"

More International Tales From the Declining Neo-Roman ZOG Controlled Empire....

Who Appointed The U.S. to Be The World’s Policeman?  - ICH - Donation Request
Must Read - A quote...." January 24, 2014 "Information Clearing House - "Tehran Times" - The fact that the United States has been long treating other nations in a derogatory and irresponsible manner and allows itself to intervene in the internal affairs of other countries is a source of frustration for many people, even if the world’s politicians don’t dare to criticize Washington over its arrogant behavior. -- The United States, blasted by many critics of its domestic and foreign policy as a newly-emerged police state interacts with the other nations across the world in such a way as if they are all its subordinates and inferiors. The people occupying the different rooms of White House think that they are the owners of the world and that they have a right to look down upon the other nations pejoratively." - Source:  TehranTimes

Al-Qaeda: The Best Enemy Money Can Buy
A quote...."Recent reports that Al-Qaeda militants have taken over parts of Iraq serve as a stark reminder that the United States has for decades played a crucial role in both directly and indirectly aiding in the spread of terrorists around the Middle East and North Africa as a Machiavellian tool of neo-colonialism. There’s a very good reason why Al-Qaeda now controls more territory in the Arab world than ever before." - also posted at GlobalRsrch

Roubini: Many Davos Speakers Think It’s Like 1914 … Right Before WW1 Broke Out
A quote...."Kyle Bass writes...."

"Trillions of dollars of debts will be restructured and millions of financially prudent savers will lose large percentages of their real purchasing power at exactly the wrong time in their lives. Again, the world will not end, but the social fabric of the profligate nations will be stretched and in some cases torn. Sadly, looking back through economic history, all too often war is the manifestation of simple economic entropy played to its logical conclusion. We believe that war is an inevitable consequence of the current global economic situation." - One commentator stated.....

"Interesting, but not unexpected, that such a topic would be discussed at Davos. -- All there represented want to be in the best possible situation to profit from what wars may come. -- And remember: bank executives love wars, because all sides need to borrow heavily, at interest, in order to attempt to create a positive outcome in such wars. -- But the next war may be far different, because of various countries' nuclear capabilities, and the hard, ugly reality that the US military, at this point in its history, doesn't have the troop strength, the manufacturing, or the money to insure a positive outcome to a convention war: and that is what makes this war scenario so scarily dangerous. -- So I would strongly caution anyone who thinks that such a war would be a "good idea" to be critically careful about what they would wish as an outcome for from such a war; the unexpected consequences could well be both horrific... and irreversible." -- *Michael Rivero*

19 Numbers Which Prove That Americans Are Angrier And More Frustrated Than Ever
A quote...."Have you noticed that people are becoming angrier?  You can see it everywhere – in our homes, in our schools, in our workplaces, in our television shows, in our movies, and certainly in Washington.  In fact, many have said that there is an “epidemic” of anger in America today.  And it is undeniably true.  As you will see below, a whole host of surveys and opinion polls show that America has become a seething cauldron of anger and frustration unlike anything that we have ever seen before.  As a nation, we are more divided than we have been in decades, and economic conditions continue to deteriorate.  People are working harder than ever and Americans get less vacation days than anyone else in the world, but median household income keeps going down every year.  Americans are dissatisfied with their relationships, their jobs, their communities and their political leaders."

The study concluded that the chemical weapons attack on Ghouta, which almost served as the pretext for a US military invasion of Syria, could not possibly have been launched from government-controlled areas. -- Isn’t it interesting how much credibility the mass media is affording to one dubious and agenda-driven defector while completely ignoring the results of a major study conducted by numerous unbiased experts?"

"I Am Not the Kind of Person Who Clings to Power": President Bashar al-Assad
Interview - A quote...." AFP:  Do you think you are winning this war?

President Assad:  This war is not mine to win; it’s our war as Syrians. I think this war has, if you will, two phases. The first phase, which took the form of plans drawn up at the beginning, was the overthrow of the Syrian state in a matter of weeks or months. Now, three years on, we can safely say that this has failed, and that the Syrian people have won. There were countries that not only wanted to overthrow the state, but that also wanted to partition the country into several ‘mini-states;’ of course this phase failed, and hence the win for the Syrian people. The other phase of the battle is the fight against terrorism, which we are living on a daily basis. As you know, this phase isn’t over yet, so we can’t talk about having won before we eliminate the terrorists. What we can say is that we are making progress and moving forward. This doesn’t mean that victory is near at hand; these kinds of battles are complicated, difficult and they need a lot of time. However, as I said, and I reiterate, we are making progress, but have not yet achieved a victory."

One was Ahmad Tibi, who has in the past called on Canadians to boycott companies and products linked to Israeli settlements in occupied Palestinian territories."

“Jeremy! Jeremy! Can I get in?” Mr. Adler said.
“No,” Mr. Hunt replied.
“It’s the re-election! This is the million-dollar shot.”

"He then asked Mr. Hunt to bring Mr. Harper over to shake hands later. In the end, after Mr. Harper had started to walk away from the wall, Mr. Adler and another Tory, Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver, were allowed past the barrier, and scrambled to have their photos taken with the Prime Minister. - Mr. Harper and contingent of 208 people, including Canadian politicians, religious leaders and business executives, are on a week-long trip to Israel and Jordan."

Algeriepatriotique interviews Gilad Atzmon: “Dieudonné has proved to be resilient to Jewish nationalist terror”
Second Quote of the Day - (in bold) -- A quote...."Your fight against Zionism provokes critics against you in Israel and in the West. Your detractors conflate consciously between “anti-Zionism” and “anti-Semitism.” What is the difference between these two concepts? - Gilad Atzmon: “anti-Semitism” is a misleading notion that refers generally to criticism of Jews as ‘people’, ‘ethnicity’ or ‘race.’ Such criticism that is biologically driven hardly exists nowadays. - Anti-Zionism, is a different kind of fish — it refers broadly to criticism of the Jewish state, its politics, policies and ideology. -- But the truth is that I do not fit in any of those categories. Although I criticize Israel harshly and more than often, I am actually interested in the true meaning of Jewish identity, culture, politics and ideology. I believe that as long as people operate politically under the Jewish banner we are entitled to question their motives, politics  and philosophy. Israel defines itself as “The Jewish state,” hence, its Jewishness must be examined." - bold by website editor - Source:  GiladAtzmon

A quote...." January 21, 2014 "Information Clearing House -  President Obama has some nerve. He opened his speech on NSA spying by likening his surveillance regime to Paul Revere and the Sons of Liberty. How insulting! They were helping people resist government tyranny, and the British spied on them to put down the coming rebellion. -- In sizing up Obama’s “reforms” of the indiscriminate gathering of data on every American, remember this: Politicians will do everything they can get away with in pursuit of their own agenda. To them, liberty and privacy are unimportant, things to be gotten around with the minimum of public attention. Should the public get wind of some untoward thing the politicians are up to — as it did, thanks to Edward Snowden — they will put on a public-relations show to lull the people back to sleep, enabling the state once again to go about its unsavory business unobserved."

After all, in the last half of the prior century European colonialism collapsed politically, morally, and even legally, its pretensions and cruelties thoroughly exposed and totally discredited.

Pushing For War - Are They Crazy Enough to Try ANother False Flagatack? - (Updated for Sochi)
A quote...."As I said above I don't want to be the little boy who cried Wolf, however best way to deter a new false flag attack by the US or Israeli governments is to openly discuss it as a very real possibility with our friends and family, so that the perpetrators and planners of such a false flag understand that the population is expected such a stunt to further the war agenda.

In the moments it took for the repeated explosions to echo from beyond the dry riverbed, the lives of scores of men, women and children in the Yemeni village of Jishm were shattered.- Four missiles fired from a U.S. drone hit a wedding convoy near the town of Radda’ in the central province of al-Baydah, killing 12 men."

But this may be simplified: China’s leadership wants its people to have a standard of living equal to that of the developed nations of the West. And that, along with restoring and preserving sovereignty, has been the main part of the Chinese program since 1949 – at least. China’s great historical achievement is to lift hundreds of millions out of poverty, accounting for most of the eradication of poverty in the recent past. This achievement is rarely mentioned in the West."

America on MLK’s Birthday: The Trifecta of Evils
Must Read - A quote...."When Dr. Martin Luther King died at the age of 39, he was quite clear about who and what was at the root of human suffering. He believed that “racism, militarism and extreme materialism” were the “giant triplets“ of “interrelated” evil that had to be overcome if society was to be transformed. Dr. King said the United States was host to all three resident evils, and that America reigned as “the greatest purveyor of violence in the world, today.” Forty-six years later, the United States clearly leads the world in all three of Dr. King’s categories of evil. And, we can prove it by the numbers." - also posted at AlethoNews

Locking The Public Out Of Public Trials In Chicago - Your Rights Aren’t Worth Crap
A quote...."Public trials are one of the fundamental tenets of American democracy. And they’ve been cancelled in Chicago, at least for the trial of the NATO 3 — three defendants battling terrorism charges for alleged ‘crimes’ wholly instigated, manufactured and advanced by undercover cops in a blatant case of entrapment. But you’ll be hard pressed to determine this for yourself, since you’re essentially banned from the courtroom unless you’re willing to surrender your right to privacy, your right to even a glimmer of free expression, or your right as a non-corporate reporter to cover the case in real time like your corporate colleagues can." - also posted at AlethoNews

For helping to cover up an event which seriously impacted the health and fortunes of tens of millions of Gulf Coast residents this person gets one year of probation. Perhaps we should be happy, all those who allowed 9/11 to happen received numerous promotions. Let's not even discuss the thousands of war criminals and torturers in this country who've made fortunes from their crimes in office.

On the other hand millions of Americans have been incarcerated in prison for years, some of them for life, because they stole a pizza, shop-lifted a steak, shipped lobsters in bags instead of boxes, or smoked a joint.  Hundreds of Americans have received the death penalty at the hands of the police for simply obeying orders to slowly or not being craven enough.  This nations is sick and beyond redemption at this point.

Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, the Father of Reaganomics, predicts, "I think, this year, you are going to see a further downturn in the economy. The signs are not only that we do not have a recovery, but it's going to get worse. . . . Christmas sales were very negative. There's no growth in people's income and no jobs. So, if the economy goes down further, what does that mean? It means the deficit widens. It means they have a greater debt ceiling lift. They have to have a bigger debt ceiling increase, and all of this will alarm the world. They'll say, good heavens, they already had a trillion dollar deficit. Now it's gone up, and the Fed can't stop the quantitative easing without the stock and bond market collapsing. The banks' solvency will become an issue. So, the world is watching a bigger deficit, more printing of money, and they are likely to start dumping dollars. When they do that, they'll say 'gold, I want gold.' There's not much supply to meet demand, and the price has to escalate. So, I wouldn't be surprised if that shows up this year." Dr. Roberts also contends that America's gold is "mainly gone.""

The Retail Death Rattle
A quote...."If ever a chart provided unequivocal proof the economic recovery storyline is a fraud, the one below is the smoking gun. November and December retail sales account for 20% to 40% of annual retail sales for most retailers. The number of visits to retail stores has plummeted by 50% since 2010. Please note this was during a supposed economic recovery. Also note consumer spending accounts for 70% of GDP. Also note credit card debt outstanding is 7% lower than its level in 2010 and 16% below its peak in 2008. Retailers like J.C. Penney, Best Buy, Sears, Radio Shack and Barnes & Noble continue to report appalling sales and profit results, along with listings of store closings. Even the heavyweights like Wal-Mart and Target continue to report negative comp store sales. How can the government and mainstream media be reporting an economic recovery when the industry that accounts for 70% of GDP is in free fall? The answer is that 99% of America has not had an economic recovery. Only Bernanke’s 1% owner class have benefited from his QE/ZIRP induced stock market levitation."

Moments ago, the ECB reported that in just the third such sterilization auction of the new year there was once again a failure to absorb all the €177.5 billion in outstanding toxic peripheral bonds, when an impressive 126 bidders showed up and yet were only able to generate only €152.1 billion in bids, leaving a €25 billion shortfall."

Greece: signs of growth [might] come as austerity [possibly] eases [due to a planned Govt stimulus package]
A quote...."It was nearly four years ago that the Greek government negotiated its agreement with the IMF for a harsh austerity program that was ostensibly designed to resolve its budget problems. Many economists, when we saw the plan, knew immediately that Greece was beginning a long journey into darkness that would last for many years. This was not because the Greek government had lived beyond its means or lied about its fiscal deficit. These things could have been corrected without going through six or more years of recession. It was because of the “solution” itself. -- Four years later, Greece is down about a quarter of its pre-recession national income – one of the worst outcomes of a financial crisis in the past century, comparable to the worst downturn of the United States’ Great Depression."

President Bashar al-Assad’s interview with Agence France Presse
A quote...."AFP: Mr. President, what do you expect from the Geneva conference?

President Assad: The most basic element, which we continuously refer too, is that the Geneva Conference should produce clear results with regard to the fight against terrorism in Syria. In particular, it needs to put pressure on countries that are exporting terrorism, – by sending terrorists, money and weapons to terrorist organisations, – especially Saudi Arabia and Turkey, and of course the Western countries that provide political cover for these terrorist organisations. This is the most important decision or result that the Geneva Conference could produce. Any political solution that is reached without fighting terrorism has no value. There can be no political action when there is terrorism everywhere, not only in Syria but in neighbouring countries as well. From the political side, it is possible for Geneva to contribute to a process of dialogue between Syrians. There has to be a Syrian process within Syria and whilst Geneva could support this, it cannot be a substitute for it."

Germany Has Recovered A Paltry 5 Tons Of Gold From The NY Fed After One Year
Gold Warning - Dollar Warning - (The Fed DOES NOT HAVE THE GOLD!  It's ALL gone!  That does NOT mean gold "prices" will go up  -- see article shown below -- but it does mean very bad things could "suddenly" happen to the Fed's script known as the dollar. - mpg) -- A quote...."On December 24, we posted an update on Germany's gold repatriation process: a year after the Bundesbank announced its stunning decision, driven by Zero Hedge revelations, to repatriate 674 tons of gold from the New York Fed and the French Central Bank, it had managed to transfer a paltry 37 tons. This amount represents just 5% of the stated target, and was well below the 84 tons that the Bundesbank would need to transport each year to collect the 674 tons ratably over the 8 year interval between 2013 and 2020. The release of these numbers promptly angered Germans, and led to the rise of numerous allegations that the reason why the transfer is taking so long is that the gold simply is not in the possession of the offshore custodians, having been leased, or worse, sold without any formal or informal announcement. However, what will certainly not help mute "conspiracy theorists" is today's update from today's edition of Die Welt, in which we learn that only a tiny 5 tons of gold were sent from the NY Fed. The rest came from Paris. "
