West embargoes arms to Syrian rebels over their resale to al Qaeda

The Western arms pipeline to the Syrian rebels fighting Bashar Assad is starting to run dry since the discovery that some of the weapons are being resold and used by al Qaeda in its conquest of southern Syrian and takeover of positions on the Jordanian and Israel borders. French President Francois Hollande for this reason reversed his government’s policy. “We will not do it [send the Syrian rebel arms] as long as we cannot be certain that there is complete control of the situation by the opposition,” he said Friday, March 29.
That day too, Ankara announced that Turkish authorities had impounded 5,000 shotguns, rifles, starting pistols, gunstocks and 10,000 cartridges in the village of Akcakale before they were sent across into Syria.

DEBKAfile’s military sources: These steps are effectively putting in place a Western embargo on arms supplies to the Syrian rebels and not only the Assad regime. Saudi Arabia and Qatar remain their only sources of weapons.

This follows information reaching Washington, Paris, Ankara and Jerusalem in recent weeks that parts of the weapons consignments destined for the Syrian rebels, especially the Free Syrian Army, are being resold to Jabhat al-Nusra, the Islamist militia which this week proclaimed itself al Qaeda of Syria amid a major offensive for the occupation of southern Syria.

FDIC & BANK OF ENGLAND CREATE RESOLUTION AUTHORITY FOR UNLIMITED CYPRUS-STYLE “BAIL-INS” FOR TBTF BANKS!

bank failure

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the Bank of England—together with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and the Financial Services Authority— have been working to develop resolution strategies for the failure of globally active, systemically important, financial institutions (SIFIs or G-SIFIs) with significant operations on both sides of the Atlantic.
The goal is to produce resolution strategies that could be implemented for the failure of one or more of the largest financial institutions with extensive activities in our respective jurisdictions. These resolution strategies should maintain systemically important operations and contain threats to financial stability. They should also assign losses to shareholders and unsecured creditors in the group, thereby avoiding the need for a bailout by taxpayers.

Ben Bernanke Taught Them Well

The following story from Cyprus reminds me of Ben Bernanke testifying before Congress that he would not monetize our debt:

That was back on June 3, 2009. The facts are presented below:

Projected and Recent US Federal Debt Numbers

Gross
Federal Debt
Debt Held

Debt Held by
Federal Reserve
FY 2013* $17.5 trillion $10.6 trillion $2.1 trillion
FY 2012* $16.4 trillion $9.7 trillion $1.9 trillion
FY 2011 $14.8 trillion $8.5 trillion $1.7 trillion
FY 2010 $13.5 trillion $8.2 trillion $0.8 trillion
FY 2009 $11.9 trillion $6.8 trillion $0.8 trillion
FY 2008 $10.0 trillion $5.3 trillion $0.5 trillion

We know where this will end but we do not know when.

IMPORTANT: Secure Your Freedom Today!!

Over the past three years, we’ve all seen the effects of censorship and spying as they reach into our email and chat messaging systems. Email disappears or gets hacked, your system slows down, as if someone else is on your computer, and you don’t know where your messages are going.  Everything is sent out in the open, like a postcard that is intercepted in transit and stored for future access (yes, the NSA already does this).

All of the largest online services snoop for ad targeting and who knows what.  Even if you don’t belong to one of them, if you are a recipient of email sent from them, you’re in their system.

To solve these and other problems, we created Unsene.com over the past year from the ground up.  It’s completely developed by BIN and now ready for you to use.  This is the first free secure and private communications system built to protect you from hackers, snoops and other threats.  We’re offering free usage for our most valued people, the contributors and readers of BIN.  To get started, go here:

US Savings Rate Near Record Low, Per Capita Disposable Income Almost Back To December 2006 Level

There was some good news for headline scanning algos this morning, when both personal incomes and spending came in modestly higher than expected, with incomes rising 1.1% compared to an estimated 0.8% increase, while spending was up 0.7%, also higher than the 0.6% expected. But while the superficial headline grab did indicate a modestly better climate for both spending and incomes, it was a look under the cover once again that revealed the full extent of the pain that US consumers continue to find themselves in, over 5 years since the start of the second great depression.

First, the bulk of the bounce in spending was driven by a surge in Non-Durable Goods, which rose by $48.5 billion in one month, and amounting to 61% of the total increase in personal outlays in February. This was the biggest monthly jump since the onset of the financial crisis: hardly inspiring much confidence for those companies which are wondering whether to ramp up capital expenditures and spending, especially since spending on Durable Goods declined by $400 million in February.

Anatomy of the State

A free essay by Murray N. Rothbard.

The greatest danger to the State is independent intellectual criticism.

Anatomy of the StateMurray Rothbard was known as the state’s greatest living enemy, and this is his most succinct and powerful statement on the topic, an exhibit A in how he came to wear that designation proudly. He explains what a state is and what it is not, according to his own ideological vision. His shows how it is one institution that purports to hold the right to violate all that we otherwise hold as honest and moral, and how it operates under a false cover now and always. He shows how the state wrecks freedom, destroys civilization, and threatens all lives and property and social well being.

The essay is seminal in another respect. Here Rothbard had bound together the cause of private-property capitalism with anarchist politics – and he was truly the first thinker in the history of the world to fully forge the perspective that later came to be known as anarcho-capitalism. He took all that he had learned from the Misesian tradition and the liberal tradition and the anarchist tradition to put together what is really a new and highly systematic way of thinking about the entire subject of political economy and social thought.

Understanding his point of view has an interesting effect on any reader. It has the effect of putting things together in a way that changes the way we see the world.

METALS DEALERS SHUT DOWN SALES AS SILVER GLOBEX MARKET PRICE FEEDS FLUCTUATING BY OVER $1

silver

Silver gapped up vertically on tonight’s Globex open, as the entire day’s paper raid was erased in the opening tick in Asia…
Meanwhile according to other live metals feeds, silver has gapped-down to $27.88

*Update: All h*ll appears to have broken loose in the electronic paper metals market tonight, as numerous live metals feeds are fluctuating in price by more than $1 in silver, and several metals dealers are reportedly refusing to make any sales as they have no idea what the current price of silver is.

Per the CME the Globex is closed the 28th-31st, and per the HKMEx Hong Kong is also closed Friday the 29th, so we suspect a rogue algo was accidentally left on…

GRNC Alert 3-28-13: Hagan ‘Out Of Closet’ on Gun Control

Hagan ‘Out Of Closet’ on Gun Control

As Senate floor vote looms…

Despite media attempts to lure you to sleep by claiming demand for gun control is waning, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) plans to bring his new and more draconian “universal background check” bill, S. 649, to the Senate floor sometime after Easter. Make no mistake: “Universal background check” is gun control code speech for “universal gun registration,” and would make you a criminal for something as inoffensive as leaving a gun at home with your spouse.

Equally premature are predictions that Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s (D-CA) ban on semi-automatic firearms is dead. Reid has said he will allow a vote on the measure as an amendment to S. 649 — potentially avoiding the requirement for 60 votes for “cloture.”

MAIG Targets Hagan

Amid all of this, Michael Bloomberg’s “Mayors Against Illegal Guns” (MAIG) is making a $12 million multi-state media push, including targeting our own Sen. Kay Hagan (D, GRNC 1-star). Why Hagan? Because her party affiliation and poor 64% pro-gun voting record while in the NC Senate predispose her to support gun control, but the tough reelection bid she faces in 2014 means a vote for gun control might cause her to lose the election.

So where does Hagan stand? Despite her claims to a hunting heritage and her assertion to constituents that she will not “unnecessarily” infringe on your Second Amendment rights, she has dodged the issue until recently, when she first went on record with leftist Chris Fitzsimon of “NC Policy Watch” in favor of some form of background checks. More telling, however, was a recent article in the “Greensboro News & Record,” which said:

  • “U.S. Sen. Kay Hagan likes the idea of expanding background checks for gun purchases, but her vote on legislation nearing the Senate floor will depend on the details, her office said Tuesday.”

IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED!

Your Foot Is In The Trap…

wollf-caught-in-leg-hold-trap
(Zerohedge)  The CFTC Order finds that from July 2011 through June 2012, the Respondents solicited retail customers, generally by telephone or through Joseph Glenn’s website, to buy physical precious metals such as gold, silver, copper, platinum, or palladium in what are known as off-exchange leverage transactions. According to the Order, the customers paid the Respondents a portion of the purchase price for the metals, and Joseph Glenn and JGCF purportedly financed the remainder of the purchase price, while charging the customers interest on the amount they purportedly loaned to customers.

 [T]he CFTC Order states that when Joseph Glenn and JGCF engaged in these illegal transactions they were acting as dealers for a metals merchant called Hunter Wise Commodities, LLC (Hunter Wise), which the CFTC charged with fraud and other violations in federal court in Florida on December 5, 2012 (see CFTC Press Release 6447-12). Hunter Wise was purportedly Joseph Glenn’s and JGCF’s source for the metal and the loans. As alleged in the CFTC Complaint against Hunter Wise and according to the CFTC Order in this case, however, neither Joseph Glenn, JGCF, nor Hunter Wise purchased or held metal on the customers’ behalf, or disbursed any funds to finance the remaining balance of the purchase price. The Order finds that the Respondents’ customers thus never owned, possessed, or received title to the physical commodities that they believed they purchased.

Bring everything in house, folks, and do it NOW.  There will be no warning when the coordinated seizure of assets begins – just like in Cyprus, where they were told everything was “just fine” right up to the moment when the banks were  locked down, and then it was too late. 

WE HAVE BEEN WARNED
