WAKE UP…

Ann Barnhardt posted the bellow comments on June 19th, and it rings true with what I have been saying since the presidential Usurpation of 2008 – the time is NOW – the real boogeyman has stood up, and is doing his worst… WE ARE AT WAR – economic and social war, and soon a real, hot, shooting war.  Perhaps even a nuclear war.  None will be spared some misery in the events to come, from the cement canyons of Wall Street to the beaches of Bora Bora – everyone will lose in some profound way, and many are at risk of losing their very lives.

Our banks and our government have created a scenario wherein the most likely outcome is that they will fail in the most abject and total way, and therefore cease to exist.  I believe that, in the long run, this is a good thing, but in the short term, everyone now living is going to suffer profoundly, and in the worst case, as many as half of the people in the “civilized world” will die of violence, privation, and disease.  This is not in some misty, distant reach of time – most likely it will begin this fall.

(Barnhardt.biz)  6/19/12  Greece is giving us a preview of what is eventually going to happen here. The Greek people are realizing that their economy is dead. What they are now doing is pulling cash out of the banks and either hoarding it inside their homes, or putting it in safe deposit boxes (which is silly – the safe deposit boxes will eventually be seized when the banks fold). What the Greeks are also doing is buying everything with credit cards, figuring that when the Greek banks and economy finally totally implode, all of their debt on their credit cards will go up in smoke with it. Americans are already doing this subconsciously. The Greeks are doing it consciously, racking up credit card debt that they have zero intention of ever paying back. They know that they are committing fraud, but they figure that the banks’ and government’s fraud was first, so turnabout is fair play. The quote I saw was, “The banks and government are pretending to be solvent, so I’ll pretend to have money.” In other words, Greece is now in the death spiral. Running up debt anticipating a total government and banking failure is exactly the same thing as a bank run, it is just happening 21st century-style.

Don’t kid yourselves, this is all coming soon to the United States of America, and as KD said, almost certainly before November. I have been saying since late 2008 that we wouldn’t make it through Obama’s “first term”, that they would have to collapse the system before the elections.

I also said in early 2009, and was thought by a friend to be totally insane at the time, that this would ultimately all end with the Chinese Army mounting a land invasion of North America. Get on your knees and pray that my accuracy streak is foiled on that point.

Egan Jones Downgrades Germany From AA- To A+

The unstoppable Egan-Jones juggernaut continues:

6/26/2012: Federal Republic Of Germany: EJR lowered AA- to A+ (Neg.) (S&P: AAA) (3413Z GR)
Synopsis: German chancellor Angela Merkel continues to create tension with EU member states by resisting calls for EU bonds (shared liabs.), money printing calls and for her pushing for fiscal controls and the seniority of bailout funding. Germay is likely to be outvoted by other ECB members and therefore will have greater prospective exposure. Watch for the EFSF and the ESM morphing into banks (thereby depressing eventual recoveries) and a rise in the number of euros. The fallout from a likely Greek exit needs to be monitored. We are cutting to ” A+ “

Ann Barnhardt – Which Team Are You On?

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPNeNV0xLFI

From YouTube:

Ann Barnhardt tells things as they are. “Praying to The Gospel of Prosperity” Let’s see what she has to think about some my recent observations and talking points. Thus, “sith discomfort, someone that has lost his or her way either finds out he is a “human being” or he reacts with anger thus confirming the fact he was a “lost in the first place” that anger is denial. There has been a cycle of denial built on trite-banal information which has been spun into the feedback of cultural noise. The internet went on a trajectory from the hard to soft, from the exchange of important ideas and thinking towards superstition, cult, and culture devoid of personal responsibility. That is an American culture now praying to things such as Wall Street Political figures and consumerism. A country entirely and people totally trapped within the echo chamber of dissonance.

Follow the Money – It Is Turning into Gold

Whether the predictions of an economic collapse are true or not, preservation of your wealth should be a priority for everyone who is a producer. Wealth has been maligned as evil by the media and government who want to redistribute the fruits of our labor to the less fortunate (looters). Wealth that is earned honestly is the very essence of the American Dream and there is no shame in preserving your property. In fact, it was one of our founding principles that the individual should have the right to own property.

Financial advisers will advise you to diversify and their credentials may warrant their commissions. However, the old Watergate adage “Follow the Money” is still applicable. While China is adding over 100 tons of gold per month to their reserves, so are other Eastern European and Far East countries. In this case, following the money leads us to a simple conclusion: the money is being converted to gold.

Gold has risen 5.44 % in the past year compared to a 4.76% gain for the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Although the gains are fairly close, the future of gold (in my opinion) is the better choice. Once the Federal Reserve stops propping up the stock market (POMO) and the manipulation of the commodities markets is realized, people will see what world governments and central banks already know.

British forces in Syria, Assad presidential compound said under attack

British special forces on field missionUnconfirmed first reports from British, French and Turkish sources say British special operations forces crossed from Turkey into northern Syria Tuesday, May 26, and advanced up to 10 kilometers inside the country. The same sources report heavy fighting around the Presidential Guards compound on the outskirts of Damascus.

DEBKAfile’s military sources note that this compound exists to defend Bashar Assad’s presidential palace on Mount Qaisoun overlooking Damascus.

British and Gulf TV stations are again running interviews with dozens of Syrian soldiers taken prisoner by rebel forces and transferred to Free Syrian Army centers in South Turkey. But this time, they are being aired in conjunction with those two developments, indicating pivotal and coordinated military action inside the embattled country, or even the start of western intervention against the Assad regime.

The FUKUS-Axis – A Matter of Russian Perspective Concerning Syria

Two points concerning the following article from Pravda.

1. The FUKUS-Axis (France, UK and US) is an obvious play on words to attack France, England and the United States.

2. The rhetoric on Pravda towards the US has escalated in the past two weeks.

If this news agency is a reflection of the Putin Regime, the United States needs to find a way to restore our credibility in the eyes of the world. Unfortunately, Obama is too arrogant to understand how much damage his administration has done to our nation, let alone have someone competent explain it to him.

Turkish Fighter Aircraft: Making some sense

Predictably, Turkey has reacted to the destruction of one of its aircraft with stupidity and cowardice and predictably, the western leaders have jumped at the chance to up the stakes in an internal conflict in Syria which they are aiding and abetting by providing terrorists with weaponry. Through Turkey.

If anyone has acted responsibly since the start of this conflict, it is the Syrian authorities and conversely, if anyone has acted irresponsibly since the beginning, it is those who are openly Syria’s enemies, namely NATO in general, which includes Turkey and as usual in particular, the FUKUS-Axis (France, UK and US).

Would You Trust Putin, Obama or God?

As information about the Russian-Israeli talk is published, Binyamin Netanyahu is in a difficult position. Should he trust Putin’s assertion that Iran will not get a nuclear bomb and Israel should not strike? Or should he trust the United States to come to his aid when war breaks out. Especially since Obama is supporting the Muslim Brotherhood and the foundation of a new Muslim Caliphate. PM Netanyahu is one of the world’s best statesmen and leaders. I have no doubt that he will consult the highest authority prior to making his choices.

Putin to Israel: Iran won’t get a nuclear bomb. No need for an Israeli strike

The high point of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s noteworthy 90-minute talk with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem Monday, June 25, was Putin’s firm assertion that Iran will not get a nuclear bomb. This is disclosed exclusively by DEBKAfile’s Jerusalem and Moscow sources.

Thomas Jefferson – We Need You Now More Than Ever

The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.

Was the government to prescribe to us our medicine and diet, our bodies would be in such keeping as our souls are now.

I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it.

“Laws that forbid the carrying of arms…disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes… Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.” (Quoting Cesare Beccaria)

The beauty of the Second Amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it.

Netanyahu: Israel, Russia agree on Iran nuclear danger

PM Netanyahu with Russian President Putin

On warm visit to Israel, Putin vague on Iran sanctions, Syrian arms, but calls for renewed Israeli-Palestinian talks.

Israel and Russia are united in their conviction that Iran’s nuclear program poses a grave threat to the world, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu told Russian President Vladimir Putin, who arrived in Israel Monday afternoon for his first visit to the region since taking office in May.

“We agree that Iran’s continued pursuit of nuclear weapons is a grave threat first and foremost to Israel, but also to the region and to the world,” Netanyahu said to Putin during a joint press conference in Jerusalem on Monday afternoon.

Later that evening President Shimon Peres echoed the same sentiment.

“I know, Mr. President, that Russia opposes a nuclear Iran. You have expressed this clearly,” Peres said during a public portion of a state dinner at his Jerusalem residence.

He said that Israel does not threaten Iran’s existence and its people are not Iran’s enemy.

But the leadership in Tehran has called itself Israel’s enemy and has threatened to annihilate the Jewish state.

“I am confident that under your leadership Russia will fulfill a key role in restoring security and peace,” Peres said.

Statement by Secretary Napolitano on the Supreme Court’s Ruling on Arizona v. the United States

The Department of Homeland Security

Release Date: June 25, 2012
For Immediate Release
Office of the Press Secretary
Contact: 202-282-8010

“I am pleased that the U.S. Supreme Court confirmed that state laws cannot dictate the federal government’s immigration enforcement policies or priorities. DHS remains focused on enhancing public safety and the integrity of our border by prioritizing enforcement resources on those who are in the country unlawfully and committing crimes, those who have repeatedly violated our immigration laws, and those who recently crossed our borders illegally. The Court’s decision not to strike down Section Two at this time will make DHS’ work more challenging. Accordingly, DHS will implement operational enhancements to its programs in Arizona to ensure that the agency can remain focused on its priorities. Over the past three and half years, this Administration has dedicated unprecedented resources to secure the border and to enforcing our nation’s immigration laws in a firm and reasonable fashion. We continue to urge Congress to pass comprehensive reform because nothing short of a comprehensive solution will resolve the current patchwork of immigration laws. Finally, it is important to note that today’s Supreme Court decision will not impact the memorandum I issued on June 15th related to prosecutorial discretion eligibility for productive members of society who were brought to the United States as children.”

Currency Crashes Coming… (and not just the Euro, folks)


As Cypress gets in line for an EU bailout, the BRICS nations are also crashing – Bloomberg reports that “For the first time in 13 years, the real, ruble and rupee are weakening the most among developing-nation currencies, while the yuan has depreciated more than in any other period since its 1994 devaluation.”  and, “When the global economy and capital flow slow down, it’s going to expose a lot of problems in these countries and make people stop and ask questions. A run on the currency could be particularly ugly.”

How much of a loss, you ask?  They also stated that, “Currencies from Brazil, Russia and India will probably decline at least 15 percent further by year-end”

Brazil’s Real lost 12 percent this quarter through June 22, the biggest drop among the 31 most-actively traded currencies tracked by Bloomberg. The 11.5 percent depreciation in the ruble and 10 percent drop in the rupee were almost twice the retreat in the euro. China’s yuan, which was kept unchanged during the global financial crisis in 2008 and 2009, fell 1.2 percent since March after the government widened the amount the currency is allowed to fluctuate each day.
