The Bankster International
Must Read - Outstanding Analysis! -- A quote...."Geopolitical analysis, the art of explaining power relationships through the prism of impersonal geography, can be a helpful tool for observers of the Great Game – but it also has its limitations. A case in point is the renewed US-Russia confrontation. Think tanks and policy insiders easily sell the narrative that from the dark days of the Cold War to our own time, Russia and the United States are fated to play in a zero-sum contest for the future of Eurasia and the world. Deterministic theories, though, can be used to legitimize predatory policy, and pseudo-scientific formulae often conceal manipulations by parasitic elites. Scoring a fortune off human misery and mass death, plundering economic assets, and shaping entire societies in one’s own image all find justification in claims of historical inevitability and the necessity of “progress.”"

Imperialism and the Ruble Crisis
Must Read - A quote...."Were Russia to accept the US-NATO diktat, its surrender would simply set the stage for further demands, whose ultimate outcome would be the actual breakup of the country. -- The catastrophic consequences of the dissolution of the USSR in 1991 and the restoration of capitalism is all too clear. Russia, the size of its military and its oil reserves notwithstanding, is being forced to accept a position as a semi-colonial appendage of finance capital, to be crushed if it crosses its imperialist masters. -- The banks are tightening the financial noose around Russia’s neck. Anders Aslund of the Petersen Institute for International Economics wrote that, since Washington imposed sanctions on Russia in July, “Russia has received no significant international financing—not even from Chinese state banks—because everybody is afraid of US financial regulators.”

The Rise of Putinism
Must Read - A quote...."By Patrick J. Buchanan - “Abe tightens grip on power as Japanese shun election.” -- So ran the page one headline of the Financial Times on the victory of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in Sunday’s elections. -- Abe is the most nationalistic leader of postwar Japan. He is rebooting nuclear power, building up Japan’s military, asserting her rights in territorial disputes with China and Korea. -- And he is among a host of leaders of large and emerging powers who may fairly be described as the new nationalistic strong men." - Source:  RussiaInsider
This is not just about Putin, it is an observation about a movement sweeping the world today. In this website editor's opinion, a movement that did NOT arise in reaction to "liberal democracy", but is instead a visceral counter-reaction to an atomizing  anti-community, anti-human, dis-empowering and enslaving control matrix.  An invisible grid of persuasion more horribly totalitarian than any blatant statist "leftist" or "rightist" structures ever constructed by mankind.  A chillingly efficient method of turning entire populations into obedient, slavish, unquestioning cattle, being imposed from above by a tiny ruthless band of parasites.  We've seen this sort of counter-reaction before in history. Usually the parasites are able to turn it to their advantage by exacerbating and playing nationalist sentiments, and peoples, off against each other in horrible wars. -- Not this time. - mpg
Fascism and War: Elite Tools to Crush and Kill Dissent
Must Read - A quote...."Every time Westerners’ approval for war is required, the myth of the good war surfaces: the Second World War was a good war, a necessity to quench Hitler’s blood thirst. Pauwels tears this myth apart, uncovering the vicious nature of the western elite. -- The reasons for the US involvement in World War II lie in the social-economic conditions of the time, not in an outpouring of compassion destined to save humanity from fascism. The US elite was actually in favor of fascism, a very convenient tool to crush the mass revolutionary movement embodied by the Russian Revolution and the USSR. -- WWII was in fact a continuity of WWI."

U.S. Gov’t. Seeks Excuse to Attack Russia - ICH Funding Drive - [Click Here]
A quote...."December 17, 2014 "ICH" - The world is more nervous about the drift toward nuclear war between the U.S. and Russia than at any time since 1962’s Cuban Missile Crisis. When French President Francois Hollande urgently side-tracked his return-flight from a diplomatic mission recently, in order to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin at Moscow’s Vnukovo Airport, at a private room that had been scoured ahead of time to eliminate any possible bugging devices, there was speculation as to what had caused Hollande’s sudden detour, and there were even rumors of a possible cause being an American “false-flag” event in the works to be blamed on Russia as a pretext for going to war against Russia, just as Russia had been falsely blamed for the Ukrainian military’s downing of Malaysia’s airliner MH17 on July 17th. All that was publicly released about the two-hour meeting were platitudes, hardly anything that would have justified side-tracking Hollande’s flight so as to surprise intelligence agencies and be able to meet the Russian leader in an untapped room."- also posted at WkUpF/YrSlmbr

The Unspeakable in Afghanistan
A quote...."2014 marks the deadliest year in Afghanistan for civilians, fighters, and foreigners. The situation has reached a new low as the myth of the Afghan state continues. Thirteen years into America’s longest war, the international community argues that Afghanistan is growing stronger, despite nearly all indicators suggesting otherwise. Most recently, the central government failed (again) to conduct fair and organized elections or demonstrate their sovereignty. Instead, John Kerry flew into the country and arranged new national leadership. The cameras rolled and a unity government was declared."

Manufacturing War: A Primer - ICH Funding Drive - [Click Here]
A quote...."December 17, 2014 "ICH" - "WWW" - - So said Hermann Göring, Hitler’s right-hand man, before he committed suicide while facing the death penalty for war crimes in 1946. -- Unfortunately, what might be called The Göring Doctrine has proved as tempting to democratic leaders as to fascist dictators. Witness these examples drawn from recent American history."

The Real Scale of U.S. Defense Spending
A quote...."Remember back in 2002 when President Bush allegedly canned his chief economic advisor, Larry Lindsey, for saying that the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan could cost more than $100 billion? Well, it turns out Bush was right to fire him because his estimates were way off! So far the cost of the wars to U.S. taxpayers is nearly $3 trillion—a figure that could double in the future as the associated legacy costs (e.g., veteran healthcare benefits) mount." - Notice the chart didn't include interest on the debt.  If you factor that in, it's over a trillion a year. - mpg

The illegal arrest of Giulietto Chiesa - yet another example of European hypocrisy
A quote..."On December 15, 2014 the Italian reporter Giulietto Chiesa, who had been invited to take part in a conference in Tallinn on Russian-European relations, was detained by the Estonian authorities for a few hours after being declared "persona non grata". Facts appear to point to a deliberate move on the part of the Estonian authorities meant to prevent the journalist from attending the conference, thus censoring the speech he was supposed to deliver."

A PNAC Protocol Victim - On the Attempted Destruction of Ukraine/Russia...

Important Appeal For Help To All Russian Speakers!
Must Read - A quote...."Today I am writing to you to appeal for your help.  By now it must be clear to everybody that what is taking place today is not just some "Cold War v2" or some "East-West tensions", but a full-scale total war between not only Russia and the USA, but  between the entire AngloZionist Empire and the Resistance (lead by Russia and the BRICS).  Make no mistake, this is not about the Ukraine or, even less so, about the Donbass.  This is about regime change in Moscow.  Ask yourself a simple question: what will happen to China, Iran, Latin America and the rest of the planet if the AngloZionists are successful and a Eltsin/Proshenko/Hollande/Abbot/etc-like figure takes over the Kremlin?  I am not saying that Russia today "is" the Resistance, but I am saying that Russia is absolutely indispensable for the Resistance.  If Russia loses this war, the Empire wins the planet.  And if Russia wins, that will be the end of the Empire. That is really that simple."

The Feeding Begins: Foreign Bankers Descend on Ukraine
Must Read - A quote...."December 18, 2014 (F. William Engdahl - NEO) - If it were not for the fact that the lives of some 45 million people are at stake, Ukrainian national politics could be laughed off as a very sick joke. Any pretenses that the October national elections would bring a semblance of genuine democracy of the sort thousands of ordinary Ukrainians demonstrated for on Maidan Square just one year ago vanished with the announcement by Victoria Nuland’s darling Prime Minister, “Yat” Yatsenyuk, of his new cabinet." - also posted at ICH

Ukrainian Nazis and Chechen Wahabis now appear to be working together
Ukrainian Nazis & Chechen Wahhabis - True Love - Since they're both sponsored by the same Anglo-Sphere, PNAC'ing, Israeli, Euro-Kazarian, trans-nationals, it makes sense. - mpg -- A quote...."Interesting news this morning: Khasan Zakaev, one of the terrorist which organized and executed the 2002 attack against the Dubrovka theater in Moscow and an aid to Shamil Basaev was arrested in Crimea when he tried to enter from the Ukraine with false documents. -- I very much doubt that Zakaev wanted to visit Crimea to enjoy the beautiful sights, sample the local cuisine or to relax on the seashore.  Not coming from the Ukraine.  Not with fake documents.  In fact, I would argue that it is pretty darn obvious that if he took the huge risk of entering not just any Russian territory, but a highly monitored and secured one, he was there on a mission."

The Pray Has Not Been Sufficiently Subdued - (And some of the predators are leaving until it is.  mpg) -  Shale gas was supposed to be Ukraine’s ticket to greater energy independence from Russia. Chevron Corp. (CVX)’s decision to pull the plug has smashed those hopes."

Is Yatsenyuk Just Stupid or Is He a Criminal?
Why do we have to choose.  Why can't he be a stupid criminal? - mpg -- A quote..."On October 24 of this year, the Prime Minister of Ukraine Arseniy Yatsenyuk announced that the fall of the Russian ruble exchange rate has a negative impact on the financial situation in Ukraine. - "In fact, today is a 'Black Friday' for the Russian economy and the Russian ruble. Usually, after this, we get a wave of financial instability due to the insolvency of Russia", - said the head of the government then."

Poroshenko and Kolomoyskyi: A war for what’s left of Ukraine
A quote...."After all these exciting things passed, the country was left to grapple with an electricity shortage that reached 5,600 MW as of December 4. But this kaleidoscope of events has distracted from the real story: the carving up of power in Ukraine. The massive war between Poroshenko and Kolomoyskyi, which started this spring, likely won’t end before summer 2015 at the earliest." - Source: Ukraina

The EU Gives Up on Ukraine
A quote...."As we have always said, the EU's policy towards Ukraine made no sense with the EU aligning itself with a government that had come to power illegally and which is not really pro-EU but rather violently Russophobic. "
After Ukraine: Are the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary Veering Off The NATO/EU Reservation?  -- Must Read - A quote...."Despite the firmness shown by the EU’s biggest players when it comes to sanctioning Putin’s Russia, lower down the pecking order some member states are not happy. Unlike the most craven and obedient puppets — the Baltic States and Poland — it took some arm twisting to get the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary to agree to punish Moscow for annexing Crimea. Each country is dependent for much of its energy on Russia with which there are also valued economic ties. Why rock the boat? Despite hyperbole claiming that Vladimir Putin was intent on taking them over and rebuilding the iron curtain, in reality, Russia has been an unproblematic neighbour for a quarter of a century."

US Ambassador to Russia is a Regime Change Hit Man and Serious Trouble-maker
A quote...."For diplomats of any country, Moscow represents a plum posting. If you are selected to serve there it implies your government has great trust in your abilities and you have had a previous career of meritorious service. Or it means you are John Tefft. -- Controversy follows John Tefft wherever he goes. This diplomatic pit bull has a disturbing talent for stirring up trouble – exactly the opposite of what diplomats are supposed to do. Whenever he leaves a posting local commentators assume his career is finished. Yet he keeps showing up wherever the US wants to foment trouble – pretending he is a simple functionary, out of his depth, when in fact there are few depths he will not sink to." - Source:  NEO

A Friend of Russia Leads the Italian Opposition (Matteo Salvini)
A quote...."His Facebook page has 530,000 Likes. In the European Parliament he has forged an hopeful alliance with Marine Le Pen. He and his fellow party members wore last September in Strasbourg the white T-shirt reading "No sanzioni alla Russia" that went viral. He has been twice to Moscow over the past three months; in October the Duma tributed him a standing ovation. -- Meet Matteo Salvini, the rising star of Italian politics. Native of Milan, 41, married, one daughter, he became Lega Nord's party leader in December 2013."

From Ruble To Rubble….And Back?

Moar on the Attack Against the Ruble - Charts - A quote...."Does this move make much sense? We actually don’t think so – oil is certainly very important for Russia’s economy, but a recent study of the Russian economy (pdf) concludes that the energy industry actually contributes only 16% to total economic output in Russia. The reason why people in the West are somewhat less aware of what Russia produces is that it is exporting a lot to former Eastern Bloc satellites and former Soviet Republics."

More Tales From the Zio-Sphere....

The Israel Lobby Cowbird
Must Read - Concept Note - (Brilliant analogy!) -- A quote...."How is the Israel lobby like a swarm of cowbirds?  Cowbirds use the devious strategy of brood parasitism, arriving at the nest of more parentally-oriented birds to lay their own eggs.  Cowbirds then enjoy unburdened freedom to forage and thrive while their own young are raised, fed and protected by unsuspecting parents.  If an avian host dares remove the cowbird's offspring, the host's own eggs—if not the entire nest—will likely be destroyed by the watchful cowbird.  This coercive relationship is eerily similar to how Israel lobbying organizations flit about Washington, hatching operatives into the U.S. federal government to pursue a solitary goal—advancing the interests of a foreign state without the obligation of registering foreign agents or working through properly credentialed diplomats as rest of the flock of nations must."
By the way, this is EXACTLY how a fiat script (Leverage) works!! (a Euro-Kazarian specialty) When you print the script (a debt-claim note) and give it to your friends and Bankster buddies, you diminish the value of the script laboriously gathered by others, while enriching you and your friends at no cost.  Also, you do the same when using Leverage, (derivatives, naked shorts, re-hypothication) when you attack the script of others (perhaps even being bold enough to actually engage in counterfeiting someone else's script!). - mpg  
Israel’s Impunity Enables War Crimes to Continue

Unique Christmas Message In Houston: "Bethlehem Like A Prison, Under Israeli Occupation"
A quote....""Separating Bethlehem from Jerusalem and the rest of the world, will not bring peace." (Roman Catholic Patriarch Fouad Twal). "In many ways Bethlehem has become the quintessential Palestinian city under occupation: its population confronted with daily abuse, its historic geography and landscape ruined by the expansion of illegal settlements, the serpentine Israeli Separation Wall cutting deep into its heart and severing it from its ancient political, social, economic and religious links to Jerusalem and the rest of the West Bank, and its economic prospects are further challenged with every passing year. For the Palestinians living in Bethlehem and its environs each Christmas has become less of a reason to celebrate than a cause to reflect on the immense tragedy that has befallen this holy city, which is home to one of the oldest Christian communities on Earth."

In addition to this, it was in violation of and contradictory to international law as well as legal and humanitarian norms that guarantee the right of nations to resist occupation.

The US-NRE's Massive History of Torture....A Highly Redacted Tale of Woe....

Why Did They Torture? -- They Knew It Wasn’t Effective In Getting The Truth
Must Read - Some quotes..."The Senate Intelligence Committee’s report on how the US government tortured detainees at Guantanamo and at secret "black sites" all over the world has focused on how they did it: rectal feeding, hanging detainees by their arms, "stress positions," beatings, etc. The prurience of this focus is fairly obvious, and typical of decadent societies in general – which is not to say that the details of "how" are irrelevant. They underscore the moral bankruptcy of the regime that permitted these practices. Yet this preoccupation with the sordid details tends to overlook the "why" of it – the key to understanding what the neocons in control of the national security apparatus during the Bush years were really after."  ---  "Torture was part and parcel of the reality-creation project the neocons carried out in the run up to the invasion of Iraq. It fueled the machinery of deception set up in the bowels of the Pentagon to bamboozle the nation and the world about the real nature of America’s post-9/11 agenda."

Accountability and Fair Trials: CIA Torture
A quote...."Just days after the September 11, 2001 attacks in New York City and Washington DC, U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney argued on national TV that it was necessary for the U.S. to work on the “dark side” to spend time in the “shadows in the intelligence world.” The recently released U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee’s report on post 9/11 CIA torture has begun to shed light on the acts of horror and depravity that took place in the shadows of the war on terror." - Source:  TeleSUR

CIA Torture - Health Professionals 'May Have Committed War Crimes', Report Says
A quote...."December 17, 2014 "ICH" - "The Guardian" -  Health professionals who assisted in the CIA’s torture programme of terror suspects “betrayed the most fundamental duty of the healing professions” and may have committed war crimes, according to a hard-hitting report released on Tuesday." - Source:   TheGuardian

American Duplicity and Twisting in Our Own Tortured Noose
A quote...."Perhaps the only thing more incredulous than the public incredulity on American torture techniques after 9/11 is the bogus semantics game being played out with the media now in the report’s aftermath. “Yes we did torture. No. Sorry. We did ‘EITs.’ Yes there were measures taken too far and deemed abhorrent even by the American side. But they were valuable necessities that saved lives. Well, ok, maybe they didn’t, but surely they caused the offering of intelligence that otherwise would not have been obtained. Well, alright, maybe I cannot prove that was actually the case, a direct causal link, but I am pretty sure SOME information EVENTUALLY came out because of the atmosphere created by that tor…I mean, EITs.” In another time and place this would most assuredly end up fodder for Monty Python or Saturday Night Live."

Operation Phoenix
A quote...."Between 1965 and 1972, the CIA oversaw a torture program that killed between 26,000 and 41,000 people, which used tactics such as gang rape, electrocution, and even rape using a live eel." - bold by website editor

The Folks Guide to Enhanced Interrogation Techniques
A quote...."First of all, EIT is actually the sound folks make when trying to breathe on the waterboard. It’s an inside joke. Yeah, they tortured some folks… but not to gain intelligence, since they know torture doesn’t work for that. Getting some poor devil to confess under torture is not that hard, heck, they got folks to confess to the murder of Elvis and even had one guy who swore he had been laden (haven’t we all?). You see, when someone is shoving a tube up folk’s asset for Enhanced Rectal Interrogation while choking them to death, chances are folks will say pretty much anything at all to end the torture. That’s not intelligence, that’s despair. And the officials who ordered and carried out the torture are quite aware of this fact."

Right when the CIA started torturing people, Congress passed a law that said we would Invade the Netherlands if any US Citizen was tried in the International Criminal Court
- A HIGHLY incriminating example of legislative foreknowledge -- A quote...."ASPA authorizes the U.S. president to use "all means necessary and appropriate to bring about the release of any US or allied personnel being detained or imprisoned by, on behalf of, or at the request of the International Criminal Court". This authorization has led the act to be nicknamed The Hague Invasion Act,[3][4] because the freeing of U.S. citizens by force might be possible only through an invasion of The Hague, Netherlands, the seat of several international criminal courts and of the Dutch government."

A quote...."There is a second torture report locked away somewhere at CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia. The agency says the document is so sensitive that national security would be at risk if any details about it were publicly revealed. - But last week, outgoing Senator Mark Udall of Colorado, in his final speech on the Senate floor and in the wake of the release of the Senate Intelligence Committee's executive summary of the so called torture report, discussed the document at length.

The email was sent to Sony executives on Nov. 21, a few days before the hack went public. Addressed to Sony Pictures CEO Michael Lynton, Chairwoman Amy Pascal and other executives, it appears to be an attempt at extortion, not an expression of political outrage or a threat of war."

If he wins the GOP nomination, it is highly likely that his opponent for the presidency would be Hillary Clinton. -- Having someone who is the brother of one former president and the son of another run against the wife of still another former president would be sweetly illustrative of all sorts of degraded and illusory aspects of American life, from meritocracy to class mobility.

Just when everybody’s output has died – based on the poor demand predicted here last April – Washington is tightening the money supply, attacking the oil price, and inviting the return of currency defence via interest rates. I finished yesterday’s piece by observing, ‘Up until now, Washington has been shooting itself in the foot. It is in danger of shooting itself in the head’.

Déjà Vu All Over Again
Oil Collapse - A quote...." Over the last few weeks, a number of regular readers of The Archdruid Report have asked me what I think about the recent plunge in the price of oil and the apparent end of the fracking bubble. That interest seems to be fairly widespread, and has attracted many of the usual narratives; the  blogosphere is full of claims that the Saudis crashed the price of oil to break the US fracking industry, or that Obama got the Saudis to crash the price of oil to punish the Russians, or what have you. --  I suspect, for my part, that what’s going on is considerably more important. To start with, oil isn’t the only thing that’s in steep decline. Many other major commodities—coal, iron ore, and copper among them—have registered comparable declines over the course of the last few months. I have no doubt that the Saudi government has its own reasons for keeping their own oil production at full tilt even though the price is crashing, but they don’t control the price of those other commodities, or the pace of commercial shipping—another thing that has dropped steeply in recent months."

Under FT calculations based on funds appropriated, $125bn of those interest costs have been allocated to the Afghan conflict."

Imperialism and the Politics of Torture
A quote....."December 16, 2014 "ICH" - The Senate Report’s revelations of CIA torture of suspects following the 9/11 bombing is only the tip of the iceberg. The Report omits the history and wider scope of violent activity in which the CIA has been and continues to be involved. CIA organized large scale death squad activities and extreme torture in Vietnam (Phoenix Project); multiple assassinations of political leaders in the Congo, Chile, Dominican Republic, Vietnam, the Middle East, Central America and elsewhere; the kidnapping and disappearance of suspected activists in Iraq and Afghanistan; massive drug-running and narco-trafficking in the “Golden Triangle” in Southeast Asia and Central America (the Iran-Contra war). -- The Senate Report fails to locate the current acts of CIA terror and torture in a broader historical context – one which would reveal the systematic use of torture and violence as a ‘normal’ instrument of policy. Contrary to White House and Senate claims that torture was a “policy error” committed by “incompetent” (or deranged) operatives, the historical record demonstrates that the long term extensive and intensive use by the CIA of torture, assassinations, kidnappings are planned and deliberate policies made by highly qualified, and experienced policymakers acting according to a global strategy approved by both Executive and Congressional leaders."

Contains Video - Alt - A quote...."The horrible events in Pakistan immediately brought to my mind the barbaric attack by Wahabi Chechens against the school in Beslan.  It is amazing for me to see that, apparently, attacking schools and taking children hostage is a God-pleasing action in the sick minds of the human reptiles known as Wahabis.  They also love to slit throats, torture and, occasionally, eat livers.  Truly, this ideology which we can call Wahabism or, probably even more accurately, Takfirism is satanic in its very core.  Ramzan Kadyrov is very wise when he refers to these militants as "shaitans" or devils.  He is, I think, quite literally true. -- Unlike the Anglo "coalition of the willing", the Russian and Syrian armed forces have done a superb job killing as many of these "shaitans" as possible, as have the truly Muslim Chechens.  But one can only kill people, not ideologies.  And Takfirism cannot be eliminated by Russian or Syrian guns.  Takfirism can only be defeated by Islam.  This is what Ramzan Kadyrov has done in Chechnia and this is what Hezbollah is trying to do in Lebanon and this is what Iran is trying to achieve in the Middle-East."

A PNAC Protocol Victim - On the Attempted Destruction of Russia's Currency...

An Extremely Disquieting Thought
12-16-2014
mpg

Ruble Continues Fall Despite Rate Rise and Interventions
A quote...."The ruble crossed the mark of 58 to the dollar on December 12 to reach a 10% devaluation since the start of the week and a 45% devaluation since the start of the year. The ruble finished at 58.13 against the dollar and 72.3 against the euro, new historical lows against both currencies."
Currency Red Warning - One understands of course that the same TBTF Banksters who caused the markets to crash in 2008 by their constant manipulations are no doubt probably the very same institutions manipulating the Forex markets through their usual shenanigans of creating trillions of dollars worth of derivatives, massive uncollateralized leverage, and naked short-selling (that last of which some people would consider close to counterfeiting). 

After all, boys will be boys.

And no doubt the very same ratings agencies who triple "aaa" rated the tens of trillions of dollars worth of junk during the decade before 2008 will be joining the party by down-grading -- fairly or not -- the bonds and other instrumentalities of not only Russia but the rest of the BRICS and emerging markets.

As they say, synergy is a great concept.

However a very, some might say extremely, disquieting thought has occurred to this website editor.
One would sincerely hope that when Russia sells their US bond or dollar assets for stabilization purposes, that the Rubles they receive in return....are actually rubles created by Russia's central bank!  - (Or for that matter Yen, Renminbi, or Euros)

Not some ones and zeros entered into some Hedge Fund's or TBTF's computer account that was simply labeled as containing Rubles
- (Or Yen, Renminbi, or Euros)

Because THAT truly would be the last straw.  A thought for everyone trading out there. - mpg

Surprise! Guess which currency has stronger fundamentals— the dollar or… ruble?
A quote..."....if you have been a reader of this column for any length of time, you know that I am a very data-driven person. -- So… just for kicks, I decided to dive into the numbers and make an objective comparison between the US dollar and the Russian ruble. -- The results might surprise you. -- First of all, I start off with the premise that ALL paper currencies are fundamentally flawed. -- Our global monetary system is absurd—the idea of letting unelected central bankers conjure as much money as they want to out of thin air is simply insane. -- But it is true that some fiat currencies have better fundamentals than others. And if you want to understand the health of a currency, it’s imperative to look at the ISSUER of that currency, i.e. the central bank."

America's "Defeat Russia with Cheap Oil" Strategy is Failing
Charts - A quote...."As hard as it is to believe - given the strength of the "Russia-is-doomed" meme - Crude oil prices for Russia (in Rubles) are unchanged since February... This is important as all costs are Ruble denominated while revenues are USD denominated, leaving Russian oil companies’ margins insulated despite the dollar decline in price. - In addition, the Russian government is easing the export taxes which further improve the profitability of Russian oil. - So as US Shale Oil sector is destroyed by its USD costs, it appears Putin's core energy industry is somewhat insulated... and America's late-80s "defeat The Soviet Union" playbook is failing." - Source:  ZeroHedge

Ruble Exchange Rate Fluctuations and the Economic War
A quote...."The Eurasian Economic Union comes into force on January 1, 2015. Most likely at the same time the Russian ruble and foreign exchange markets will change drastically, and the Russian economy will take a distance to the dollar and the euro. Now the West is doing its best to weaken the ruble and thus destabilize the Russian economy and the political system before the end of the year. The maxima of the West is to prevent the emergence of the new economic union and closer cooperation within the BRICS. Taking into account the Christmas holidays, the West has little more than a week to succeed. -- What are the Russian authorities doing? Trying their best to defend the ruble and the Russian economy."

A quote...."December 16, 2014 "ICH" - "Zems" - Only the lazy are not writing about this subject today. But everyone for some reason is looking in the wrong direction. Let me explain,,,,"
"Naturally, the task is simple - we need to drop the ruble to the maximum, and then buy all that we can, giving away the dollars that are no longer needed and not guaranteed by anything. This will help concentrate all of the roubles inside the country and to assign their price independently, while holding and then releasing more money to the market."

How Vladimir Putin Upset NATO’s Strategy
A quote..."Russia is reacting to the economic war which NATO is waging against her in the way she would have reacted in a conventional war. She allowed herself to be hit by unilateral “sanctions” in order to better lead the opponent to a battleground of her own choosing. Simultaneously, she has signed agreements with China to safeguard her future and with Turkey to disrupt NATO. As long ago, against France or Germany, her initial defeat could be the guarantee of her victory in the end."

The equipment is expected from the United States.”"

Ukraine's Two Big Gas Deals Are Now Both Dry

The only provision of Dodd-Frank that has any teeth is the provision that says if the big banks are going to be casinos and gamble on derivatives, they cannot do that in the depository institution where depositors have their accounts. They have to farm it out into subsidiaries. So, if the subsidiaries get into trouble, the subsidiaries have no access to depositor’s money. This is the only real reform part of Dodd-Frank. Citigroup got put into the recent spending bill, the repeal of this, so banks can gamble on derivatives, and taxpayers and depositors are on the hook for the losses. Why would you do that unless you had a lot of derivatives trouble. It could easily be the oil derivatives. . . . The banks can gamble all they want and they are covered by the FDIC, which has no money. . . . This gives the banks access to depositor’s money. . . . This is sick, and it shows the United States government is the most corrupt government on earth, far more corrupt than Russia or China.”

The Pigmen Win Again

A quote...."After the disgusting example of politicians of both spineless parties bowing down before Wall Street, the military industrial complex and corporate interests this weekend with the passage of a bloated pig of a spending bill totaling $1.1 trillion, how can anyone not on the payroll of the vested interests not admit there is only one partyand it serves only the needs of the wealthy business interests. Obama, champion of the common folk, signed this putrid example of political corruption and corporate capture of the American political system.

Is The Tulip About To Become The US's National Flower?
A lesson from the past - A quote...." In the early 1600s, as the global economy moved from "production for consumption" into "production for profit", Dutch trading and business had become so efficient that merchants were finding themselves contracting for products that did not yet exist. The Dutch called it "Trading on the wind", a reference to the Dutch trading ships that sailed the Atlantic. -- In 1636, increasing demand for newly created varieties of tulips set off a speculative cycle of ever higher prices. Tulip bulbs were bought and sold unseen. Huge fortunes (on paper) were created seemingly overnight. -- Then, in 1637, the market crashed. People were ruined. The entire Dutch credit system was almost destroyed and the effects of the crash were felt across Europe. "

Special Note - Multiple Articles - A quote...."The fundamental and fiduciary responsibility that a government has is to protect its people. Not only has the government and its officials miserably failed in this duty, the health policies and related oversight poses the biggest threat to the health, safety and welfare of the American people. - The absolute totality of the full frontal assault that Americans are facing at the hands of government sanctioned entities (i.e. CDC, FDA) is overwhelming in its contemplation. The present American landscape is a war zone and American citizens are the targets for the poisoning of America."

Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO): Profit, Power and Geopolitics
A quote...."Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are not essential for feeding the world [1,2], but if they were to lead to increased productivity, did not harm the environment and did not negatively impact biodiversity and human health, would we be wise to embrace them anyhow? -- The fact is that GMO technology would still be owned and controlled by certain very powerful interests. In their hands, this technology is first and foremost an instrument of corporate power, a tool to ensure profit. Beyond that, it is intended to serve US global geopolitical interests. Indeed, agriculture has for a long time been central to US foreign policy."

Must Read - For The Concept - (What this website editor, and no doubt millions of others, have been thinking during the last week. - mpg)  - A quote..."The release of the Torture Report was a political act, and the report itself is a whitewash. -- Former Vice President Dick Cheney and others have given a pathetic and predictable defense of torture. By leaning on the false flag 9/11 events to morally, intellectually, and politically justify torture they have yet again revealed the emptiness of their arguments. They are using one crime to justify another one." - also posted at BLN
"A limited hangout, or partial hangout, is a public relations or propaganda technique that involves the release of previously hidden information in order to prevent a greater exposure of more important details. -- It takes the form of deception, misdirection, or coverup often associated with intelligence agencies involving a release or "mea culpa" type of confession of only part of a set of previously hidden sensitive information, that establishes credibility for the one releasing the information who by the very act of confession appears to be "coming clean" and acting with integrity; but in actuality, by withholding key facts, is protecting a deeper operation and those who could be exposed if the whole truth came out." --  *Wikipedia*

The New European 'Arc Of Instability' - ICH Funding Drive - [Click Here]
Key Geo-Political Concept Note - A quote...." December 13, 2014 "ICH" - "RT" -  The European Council on Foreign Relations and Berlin think-tank Friedrich Ebert Stiftung have just reached more or less the same conclusion. - If the dangerous stand-off between the EU and Russia over Ukraine is not solved, the EU could face, up to 2030, a military build-up in eastern Europe; a new arms race with NATO as a protagonist; and a semi-permanent “zone of instability” from the Baltic to the Balkans and the Black Sea. - What these two think-tanks don’t – and won’t – ever acknowledge is that a new European “arc of instability” – from the Baltic to the Black Sea, as myself and other independent analysts have stressed – is exactly what the Empire of Chaos and its weaponized arm – NATO – are working on to prevent closer Eurasia integration." - Source:  RT

Special Note - A quote...."You can look at the Russian economy two ways now and you should. So let’s: It is an important moment in the destruction of something and the construction of something else, and we had better be clear just what in both cases. The world we live in changes shape as we speak.....
"Truth No. 1: Russians are besieged. Sanctions the West has insisted on prosecuting in response to the Ukraine crisis — Washington in the lead, the Europeans reluctant followers — are hitting hard, let there be no question. Oil prices are at astonishing lows, probably if not yet provably manipulated by top operatives in the diplomatic and political spheres."

"Truth No. 2: Russians are hot. With an energetic activism just as astonishing as the oil prices, Russian officials, President Putin in the very visible lead but with platoons of technocrats behind him, are forging an extensive network of South-South relationships — East-East, if you prefer — that are something very new under the sun. Some of us were banging on about South-South trade and diplomatic unity as far back as the 1970s; I have anticipated the arriving reality since the early years of this century. But I would never have predicted the pace of events as we have them before us. Stunning."

Special Note - A quote..." December 14, 2014 "ICH" - On Saturday, December 13th, Russian media reported that U.S. President Obama evidently can’t wait to sign the congressional authorization for war against Russia (which has already been passed in draft form by 98% of U.S. House members and 100% of U.S. Senate members), and that he is already shipping military supplies into Ukraine for use against Ukraine’s ethnic Russians that the Ukrainian Government is trying to eliminate. -- Mikhail Emelyanov, a leading Russian parliamentarian, was quoted as saying on Saturday, Russia “cannot calmly watch as the US arms Ukraine with the most modern lethal weapons. In this regard, we should not appear weak. The situation is very alarming. Judging by US intentions, they want to turn Ukraine into a fighting platform against Russia.”"

Whom the Gods Would Destroy They First Make Mad
Special Note - A quote...."It is decidedly uncommon to watch a nation self-destruct by making series of bad decisions, each one worse than the one that preceded, eventually leading to a complete loss in both credibility and respectability. One might argue that the United States has been proceeding down such a path since 9/11, boxing itself into a corner where it has become a state with a single mission externally, perhaps best summed up as imposing an American model of pseudo-democracy worldwide without regard for local preferences. The strains of continuous warfare and conflict overseas have resulted in a domestic governance that mimics the foreign and defense policies, with great reliance on executive authority, coercion and overriding of constitutional principles."

If you can translate it into other languages, please do! -- I, Elena Bondarenko, People’s Deputy from the Party of Regions, finding myself in opposition to the current power in Ukraine, wish to declare that this administration has resorted to direct threats of physical elimination of the opposition in Ukraine; has resorted to suspending the right of freedom of speech, in parliament and out, and is implicated in complicity in crimes not just against politicians, but even against their children. The everyday life of an opposition deputy is this: constant threats, unofficial ban from the airwaves, targeted persecution.

U.S. Taxpayers Now Alone in Financing Ukraine’s Ethnic Cleansing Campaign
A quote..."The IMF has concluded that it was too optimistic when loaning Ukraine $17 billion at the end of April, and that the Ukrainian Government’s economic condition is far worse than the IMF expected, and also that the Government’s anti-corruption program is too weak to justify the planned loan-installments or “tranches” going to Ukraine. Therefore, “even providing the program of the next two tranches is open to question.”
Don't get excited folks, Israel will call the Fed & Obama, and they'll call the IMF, problem solved. The Banksters in Ukraine will get their money. Else the author is right, the Fed will just hit the print button, and the US tax payers will pick up the tab one way or the other. They'll most likely call it a loan, start some sort of war in Ukraine, and years later after not receiving a dime, they'll just forgive it. - mpg

He suggested that "oil should be owned by the State at this time, so we could better control prices by the increase or decrease in production". -- Then in February, immediately after Gaddafi's hint of nationalization of Libya's oil resources, there was an uprising by rebels who wanted to overthrow him and on March 17 the UN Security Council established a "no-fly zone" in Libya "to take all necessary measures to protect civilians under threat of attack in the country"."

This is disturbing enough. Even more disturbing, the torture program shows that no one in the US and European governments who knew of the program and participated in torture has an ounce of humanity, integrity, compassion, and morality. They are evil people, and the ones who inflicted the torture enjoyed the pain and suffering that they inflicted on others. - The only exceptional thing about the US is the extent of the evil that resides in Washington, D.C."

He's all over the place with this one, but it's a fun read. - mpg -- A quote...."If you say you don’t want to be a guru, people say that is just another way to go about it and if you say you are a guru, well then; point made. If you take on the persona of that sort of an individual, you wind up attracting all sorts of annoying people who won’t leave you alone. The whole thing makes me laugh fairly often. Life becomes so much simpler when you don’t take yourself seriously. You have to decide whose opinion is important to you and you do your best to live up to that expectation. Some might fear being manipulated by another but we all manipulate each other. The question is; to what end? If we are manipulating people to their benefit perhaps that is good but generally people, in their ordinarily paranoid fashion, consider any manipulation to be evil. This is because they want to control everything but you can’t control everything unless you control yourself and if you are in control of yourself, you automatically control everything else anyway. Why this is not more generally understood is something for one to analyze in those instances where that is even necessary. If you are ONLY controlling yourself you are still manipulating people.."

Kicking Against the Establishment: It’s Time for Truth in Media
A quote...."Rhetoric coming out of Washington is constantly using and abusing the term “democracy” as a concept to be defended and cheered. But what we see in the US is a far-cry from any real and accountable system of democracy. -- In fact, the United States of America couldn’t be farther from being “the land of milk and honey” as it once proclaimed itself to be; its promise of wealth and stability, the oft-referenced yet seldom seen “American dream”, is undeniably buried in the realm of wishful thinking — for the majority of people, that is. -- Elections give the illusion of choice while maintaining a status quo that sees the rich get richer and the poor scrambling to redefine their definitions of “rock bottom”. (See Andy Kroll, “Billionaires Unchained: America is a Democracy of the Wealthy“). -- The good news is, the majority can no longer afford (quite literally) to stay complacent in the face of rampant financial exploitation by a ruling minority that knows no bounds to its powerlust."

We have a gangster government that fails to enforce the law, but instead prosecutes whistle blowers who make public, violations of it. Here is an off the top of the head list of our continuing and systematic failures to create justice."

The Anglo-Euro-Banks Credibility Crisis Deepens....

US Consumes Far More than It Produces. Threatens Global Division of Labor
Must Read Excerpt - (From a previously posted article) -- A quote...."The situation with industry in the US in the past couple of years has somewhat improved. -- There are two reasons: changing energy prices in the US (and here we must say good words for the Obama administration), and the rising cost of production in China. -- However, the main factor for long-term growth - private demand – is in decline. This suggests that growth in the US does not even have a medium-term prospect. -- The drop in private demand is the main impact of the economic crisis, which has continued since 2008. Nothing can be done here, because the main mechanism of its stimulation - the refinancing of private debt in an environment of a decline in the cost of credit - is no longer working. -- Recall that the discount rate of the US Federal Reserve, which was 19% at the beginning of the “Reaganomics” policy (the main tool of which was increasing lending to households), declined almost to zero by December 2008. -- It’s impossible to raise the rate now, because it will bring down the whole pyramid of debt around the world."

Something is very wrong: Lowest labor participation rate ~40 yrs, Americans are 40% poorer than before the recession And that’s WITH our housing & stock bubble 2.0. -- A quote...."Is there any doubt that we are living in a bubble economy?  At this moment in the United States we are simultaneously experiencing a stock market bubble, a government debt bubble, a corporate bond bubble, a bubble in San Francisco real estate, a farmland bubble, a derivatives bubble and a student loan debt bubble.  And of course similar things could be said about most of the rest of the planet as well.  In fact, the total amount of government debt around the world has risen by about 40 percent just since the last recession.  But it is never sustainable when asset prices and debt levels increase much faster than the overall level of economic growth.  History has shown us that all financial bubbles eventually burst.  And when these current financial bubbles in America burst, the pain is going to be absolutely enormous."

Report: Americans Are Poorer Since The Recession Ended, Wealth Inequality Continues To Increase
A quote...."While it could be debated to no end whether or not the Great Recession is over, a new report points out that consumers are still worth less money than they were before the bottom fell out of the economy. -- A new analysis from Pew Research Center found that even as the economy has recovered, many households still face financial disparity and wealth inequality continues to widen along racial and ethnic lines."

The Global Bankers’ Coup Coming to US with Bail-In Bill
A quote...."On December 11, 2014, the US House passed a bill repealing the Dodd-Frank requirement that risky derivatives be pushed into big-bank subsidiaries, leaving our deposits and pensions exposed to massive derivatives losses. The bill was vigorously challenged by Senator Elizabeth Warren; but the tide turned when Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorganChase, stepped into the ring. Perhaps what prompted his intervention was the unanticipated $40 drop in the price of oil. As financial blogger Michael Snyder points out, that drop could trigger a derivatives payout that could bankrupt the biggest banks. And if the G20’s new “bail-in” rules are formalized, depositors and pensioners could be on the hook." - also posted at ICH

Wall Street, aka United States, Pulls Off Another Destructive Coup. Ironically, China And Russia Are Far More Capitalistic - A quote...."There is no room for sanity in the United States, anymore, and the public is sleepwalking through it all.  Arguably, this has been carefully orchestrated by the elites over the past century, as in 100 years and not just in the past decade or so.  Capitalism is dead in the US, and has been for decades.  Ironically, China and Russia are far more capitalistic.  Once the elites took over the money supply, with the passage of the Federal Reserve Act in 1913, there was a concerted effort to take over all media and start a propaganda scheme that is far superior than any other country in effective population control. -- What did Wall Street just do?  It guaranteed that any losses from all derivatives that arise within the bankrupt banking system will be passed onto the taxpaying serfs called United States citizens.  When Congress just passed its bill allowing the [bankrupt] government to keep spending with abandon, attached to the bill was a portion written by Citicorp that allows financial institutions [read that as Wall Street banks] to trade in certain derivatives that are insured by the FDIC.  What it means is that taxpayers will be responsible for all losses resulting from theses derivative contracts."

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) led the retreat losing a hefty 268 points before the session ended.
