Thanks, Bloomberg, for More Nonsense About Gold

"Central bankers from all over the world meet regularly in Switzerland, at the Bank for International Settlements, to 'coordinate' monetary policy. They sit in a big room in front of a fancy table and discuss what they are going to do. Four men control roughly 75% of the entire world money supply: Zhou Xiaochuan, People’s Bank of China, Mario Draghi, European Central Bank, Haruhiko Kuroda, Bank of Japan and Ben Bernanke, US Federal Reserve. Does anyone seriously believe that these four individuals do not operate a common monetary policy? Does anyone believe that any of these individuals have the latitude to go their own way in defiance of the others?" Continue reading

‘Dollar valueless, about to crash’ – World Bank whistleblower

"The US government shutdown - a temporary ailment or a symptom of a grave disease? Are the Republicans right in their move to block Obamacare spending? Who gains from the shutdown turmoil? Do the politicians care about their citizens? Our guest comes from the very heart of the banking system: Karen Hudes was World Bank lawyer when she blew the whistle on major corruption cases in the system and was fired as a result."

Gun registry ‘scheme’ among concerns over US signing of UN arms treaty

"The treaty would regulate the $70 billion global trade in conventional arms. The U.S. is the largest arms exporter in the world, and Kerry's signature was seen as a significant step in pushing it forward. Supporters say the treaty sends a bold global message advocating the first-ever moral standards on the cross-border trade linked to human rights violations around the world. But to some on U.S. soil, the treaty treads into dangerous territory and could step on the constitutional rights of Americans. They point in part to language, at the very beginning of the document, that includes 'small arms and light weapons' and worry this could cover firearms owned by Americans." Continue reading

Ex-World Bank Counsel: Lawlessness when USD Loses Reserve Status

"Karen Hudes, a former 20 year employee of the World Bank, contends the U.S. credit rating is on very dubious ground. Hudes says, 'This is actually an underhanded move because they know the U.S. dollar is going to lose its status as an international currency.' What would that look like to the man on the street? Hudes predicts, 'Prices would change on a daily basis. They would double. The number of families that would be employed would be in the minority . . . there would be lawlessness.' Join Greg Hunter as he goes One-on-One with former World Bank lawyer Karen Hudes." Continue reading

‘Internet makes global snooping possible, but harder to hide’

"Alan Rusbridger keeps a memento of the most bizarre thing that’s happened to him during his journalism career. The Guardian editor carries a piece of the smashed MacBook circuit board destroyed at the order of British intelligence agents during their investigation into the newspaper’s reporting on the U.S government’s massive worldwide spying operations. 'I think it’s a rather sinister reminder of the intersection of states and journalism,' Rusbridger told Democracy Now on Monday." Continue reading

Even When Politicians Are Right, They’re Still Wrong

"'Brazil’s president, Dilma Rousseff, has launched a blistering attack on US espionage at the UN general assembly, accusing the NSA of violating international law by its indiscriminate collection of personal information of Brazilian citizens and economic espionage targeted on the country’s strategic industries.' Dilma is furious because the NSA spied on her personally as well as on Brazil’s 'state oil corporation.' Her solution to the NSA’s snooping? The United Nuts should 'oversee a new global legal system to govern the internet.' Whoa! Just when you thought the panopticon couldn’t possibly get any worse, this dingaling manages to conjure an even more frightening scenario." Continue reading

The System Of The World – An Infographic

"This is The System Of The World. It lays out in logical frankness how the various layers of the facade we call 'democracy' and 'free markets' interoperate and together create a grotesque caricature of the ideals they purport to serve and keep us all enslaved. Join us on a trip through The System." Continue reading

With its leaders facing trial, Kenya quits International Criminal Court

"Yesterday Kenya’s parliament voted to pull out of the ICC – the first African country to do so. That decision comes shortly before the ICC starts trials of Kenya's president and vice president. So far both men have said they will appear at The Hague, but speculation has begun that the vote may be the first step toward cutting off cooperation. President Uhuru Kenyatta and Vice President William Ruto were indicted for mass violence and deaths after the 2007 elections. This summer ICC officials hinted that they might allow parts of Ruto’s trial to take place in Kenya or Tanzania. But today, less than 24 hours after Kenyan lawmakers in a raucous session voted to leave the ICC, the possibility was ended." Continue reading

Arab Spring’s Final Post Mortem

"Any suggestion that the US and its allies long had a finger in that pie was met with harsh recrimination and accusations of attraction to conspiracy theory. As US involvement in training the young Arab Springers became too obvious to deny shortly after the Egypt uprising, it was claimed that the 'Arab Spring' was authentic but after it caught the US by surprise the State Department and NED and its various tentacles quickly rushed in to manage the events. This was also blatantly untrue, as US government funding authorization requests for training the Arab Springers had been requested and granted for years before the actual event." Continue reading

In public shift, Israel calls for Assad’s fall

"Israel wants to see Syrian President Bashar al-Assad toppled, its ambassador to the United States said on Tuesday, in a shift from its non-committal public stance on its neighbor's civil war. Even Assad's defeat by al Qaeda-aligned rebels would be preferable to Damascus's current alliance with Israel's arch-foe Iran, Ambassador Michael Oren said in an interview with the Jerusalem Post. His comments marked a move in Israel's public position on Syria's two-and-1/2-year-old war." Continue reading
