European Hail Mary or End Run?

The call for direct capitalization of Euro zone banks by forming a banking union is definitely a hail Mary to save Spanish and Greek banks. Although this is only a “call”, Germany will never support it and at some point, Europe will implode economically. When? Based on this recommendation for a banking union, it is very close. If for some reason, Merkel is able to do an end run of the Bundestag and an European banking union is formed, it will be the precursor of the New World Order.

EU calls for banking union, direct recapitalization of banks

The euro zone should move to a banking union and consider directly recapitalizing banks from its permanent bailout fund, the European Commission said on Wednesday in annual economic recommendations that shone a critical light on Spain. Continue reading

Delay and Pray

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hewp50fHOvU

From Zerohedge.com:

Repress extend-and-pretend; dismiss the can-kicking; and forget fake-it-til-you-make-it; Charles Biderman of TrimTabs recalls Jim Bianco’s quote of the day onSpain’s ‘Delay-and-Pray’ as the new normal for what is rapidly moving beyond farce in Europe. Beginning with the nations’ own ‘silly’ perspective that the problem is ‘unquantified’ at the moment – implying it is in the trillions (which we already knew, but as long as they don’t actually quantify it, it’s not real – like the tooth fairy) – Charles goes on to destroy the hope that Germany can save them all (too big a problem now) and with state and local debt mounting trouble upon trouble the only outcome is a failure of the Euro. But it’s not just Europe, between benefit payments and deficits, unexpectedly low returns for pension funds (thank you Ben), and union ignorance, the US is set for just as big a problem (though given the printing press we may just last a little longer). This leaves our union pension and government officials with the same solution of ‘delay-and-pray’ as they hide in ever more intricate ways how much they are stealing from the future to cover the here-and-now. Biderman’s back and this time he’s really ‘ranty’ right to the end as he calls them out for criminal fraud.

WALMART EMPLOYEES IN NC CALL POLICE TO HAVE VETERANS REMOVED ON MEMORIAL DAY

Elizabethtown Walmart Calls Police to Remove Veterans on Memorial DayAn unfortunate incident unfolded at an Elizabethtown, North Carolina, Walmart when employees called the police on some veterans who were handing out poppies to commemorate Memorial Day on Monday. While many individuals were appalled at the spectacle, employees who alerted authorities to have the veterans removed maintained that they were merely following policy.

WECT.com has more information regarding the showdown between the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) and the store and the confusion surrounding it:

According to a spokesperson for Walmart, groups who want to solicit in front of their stores must be approved and scheduled in advance and only one group is allowed to reserve a table at a time.

VFW member Bobby Ludlum thought the organization had booked a space weeks in advance, but the store had no record of it and booked another group.

“Maybe we’re somewhat at fault. Maybe we should have called in after our commander, came in and made the reservation and make absolutely sure that things were good,” said Ludlum.

Black Church Idolatry

Question: “What is the definition of idolatry?”

Answer: The definition of idolatry, according to Webster, is “the worship of idols or excessive devotion to, or reverence for some person or thing.” An idol is anything that replaces the one, true God. The most prevalent form of idolatry in Bible times was the worship of images that were thought to embody the various pagan deities.

The facts speak for themselves. You can worship our Lord or you can have “excessive devotion to, or reverence for some person“. Spin this any way you like but any pastor who supports Obama is endorsing a candidate who supported infanticide. This is nothing more than the worship of Ba’al. Our nation can only survive if we turn back to God.

The Bernanke Bust

by Michael Pollaro

To Austrians, all economic “booms” founded on monetary largesse always end in economic busts, roughly equal in size and intensity to the preceding booms. By distorting interest-rate and price signals and, as a consequence, creating malinvestments that must eventually be liquidated, monetary booms necessitateeconomic busts. This is true regardless of whatever short-term benefits the economy or financial markets appear to enjoy from this largesse. And whether that largesse originates via the creation of central-bank base money (through central-bank asset-purchase or loan programs) or via bank-issued on-demand deposit liabilities in excess of bank reserves or what Austrians call uncovered money substitutes (when said banks are making loans or purchasing assets), in the end the result is always economic busts.

Our broad and preferred money supply metric — TMS2 (True “Austrian” Money Supply) — posted another double-digit year-over-year rate increase in March, this one coming in at 14.5 percent. That makes 40 consecutive months of double-digit year-over-year rate increases. To state the obvious, we are in the midst of a monetary explosion. Continue reading

Conservative Bloggers Under Attack and Now Being Arrested

Aaron Walker Arrested After Maryland Hearing on Kimberlin Case

Aaron Walker, whose complaint against convicted terrorist Brett Kimberlin became a conservative cause célèbre this past week, was reportedly taken into custody today after a court hearing in Rockville, Maryland.

One person who attended the hearing in Montgomery County District Court said that Kimberlin asserted that Walker’s continued blogging represented a violation of a “peace order” Kimberlin had obtained against the Virginia attorney, who says Kimberlin tried to “frame” him for assault earlier this year.

During the course of the hearing — which reportedly lasted about an hour — Judge C.J. Vaughey appeared to become increasingly hostile toward Walker, who was taken into custody when the hearing concluded.

On Thursday, May 17, Walker published a 28,000-word account of his experience being targeted by Kimberlin, which soon caught the attention of leading figures in online New Media, including University of Tennessee law professor Glenn Reynolds, who writes the popular Instapundit blog, and bestselling author Michelle Malkin, who warned her readers, “Please remember: Kimberlin is a radical, violent, lying, dangerous felon.”

UPDATE: According to a source, Kimberlin claimed during the hearing that he has received death threats as a result of Walker’s violation of the peace order. In 1981, Kimberlin was sentenced to 50 years in federal prison for his crimes, including the 1978 terrorist bombing that brutally maimed Vietnam veteran Carl DeLong.

German Endgame

Southern Europe’s debtor states must pledge their gold reserves and national treasure as collateral under a €2.3 trillion stabilisation plan gaining momentum in Germany.

So it all comes back to gold. As Zerohedge.com predicted on February 23rd, 2012 followed by the announcement today of “the European Redemption Pac”. Whoever has the most gold wins. As in Atlas Shrugged, see what the looters are buying to protect themselves since they are the people who are controlling the economy and governments.

Security backdoor found in China-made US military chip

US military chip vulnerable to "IP theft, fraud and Trojans", researchers findCambridge University researchers find that a microprocessor used by the US military but made in China contains secret remote access capability

A microchip used by the US military and manufactured in China contains a secret “backdoor” that means it can be shut off or reprogrammed without the user knowing, according to researchers at Cambridge University’s Computing Laboratory.

UPDATE: However, one security consultancy has said that the implication that the backdoor might have been secretly inserted by the Chinese manufacturer is “bogus”, and that malicious intent is unlikely.

In a draft paper, Cambridge University researcher Sergei Skorobogatov wrote that the chip in question is widely used in military and industrial applications. The “backdoor” means it is “wide open to intellectual property theft, fraud and reverse engineering of the design to allow the introduction of a backdoor or Trojan”, they said.

The discovery was made during testing of a new technique to extract the encryption key from chips, developed by Cambridge spin-off Quo Vadis Labs. The “bug” is in the actual chip itself, Skorobogatov wrote, rather than the firmware installed on the devices that use it, meaning there is no way to fix it than to replace the chip altogether.

“The discovery of a backdoor in a military grade chip raises some serious questions about hardware assurance in the semiconductor industry,” wrote Skorobogatov.

Italian Photographer Shocked to See Iraq Photo in BBC Report on Syria

 Marco Di Lauro, an Italian photographer who took a shocking photo from Iraq in 2003 showing the corpses of Shiite Iraqi children killed during the Saddam era announced that he was shocked to see the photo on BBC website atop a report from the recent massacre in Syria.”Somebody is using illegally one of my images for anti Syrian propaganda on the BBC website front page,” Di Lauro said.

“Today Sunday May 27 at 0700 am London time the attached image which I took in Al Mussayyib in Iraq on March 27, 2003 was front page on BBC website illustrating the massacre that happen in Houla the Syrian town and the caption and the web site was stating that the image was showing the bodies of all the people that have been killed in the massacre and that the image was received by the BBC by an unknown activist. Somebody is using my images as a propaganda against the Syrian government to prove the massacre,” he added.

The picture taken from Iraq shows an Iraqi child jumping over a line of hundreds of bodies, in a school where they have been transported from a mass grave, to be identified. They were discovered in the desert in the outskirts of Al Musayyib, 40 km south of Baghdad. It has been estimated that between 10,000 and 15,000 Iraqis had been reported missing in the region south of Baghdad. People have been searching for days for identity cards or other clues among the skeletons to try to find the remains of brothers, fathers, mothers, sisters and even children who disappeared when Saddam’s government crushed a Shiite uprising following the 1991 Persian Gulf War.

Marco di Lauro had published the image on his website as part of his story “Iraq, the Aftermath of Saddam”.

The Consequences of Iranian Appeasement

As Israel knew, the Iranian negotiations were just another stalling tactic for more time to enrich uranium. Although our leaders feel that Iran is only a small threat that is not important, Iran has a different opinion of their military position.

Iran leaders hint at missile attacks against US bases, call for end to nuclear negotiations

With the May 23 negotiations in Iraq failing to persuade Iran to give up its illicit nuclear program, Iranian leaders have returned to threats of war — including the provocative statement that their missiles can reach every U.S. military base in the Middle East, and a call to halt all nuclear negotiations with the West.

On Saturday, Iranian Brig. Gen. Hossein Salami threatened that all “enemy” bases in the region are vulnerable to Iranian attack.

“Wherever you imagine these bases are, they are within the reach of Iranian missiles,” he said, according to Fars News Agency, the media outlet run by the powerful Revolutionary Guard Corps.

The news report said half of Iran’s missile capability is still unknown to the West. Continue reading

The risk of stealth bank runs in periphery euro nations turning into full scale bank runs are deepening

What is worse than a bank run? A stealth bank run. European governments and media do not want bank runs reported even though they have occurred for several months. What are people putting their faith (and assets) for currency:

Dollar Scarce As Top-Quality Assets Shrink 42%

The dollar is proving scarce, even after the Federal Reserve flooded the financial system with an extra $2.3 trillion, as the amount of the highest-quality assets available worldwide shrinks.

From last year’s low on July 27, the greenback has risen against all 16 of its major peers. Intercontinental Exchange Inc.’s Dollar Index surged 12 percent, higher now than when the Fed began creating dollars to buy bonds under its extraordinary stimulus measures at the end of 2008.

Where are governments putting their faith: gold. Where should Americans put their faith?

ASIA/SYRIA – Abuse of the opposition forces, “ethnic cleansing” of Christians in Homs, where Jesuits remains

Damascus (Agenzia Fides) – While the Syrian opposition forces have been guilty of violence, abuse, torture – as stated in a report released yesterday by the NGO “Human Rights Watch” – in Homs there is “an ongoing ethnic cleansing of Christians”, carried out by some Islamist members of the “Brigade Faruq”. So says a note sent to Fides by some sources in the Syrian Orthodox Church, which includes 60% of Christians in Syria. Militant armed Islamists – says the note – have managed to expel 90% of Christians in Homs and confiscated their homes by force. According to Orthodox Metropolitan sources, the militants went door to door in the neighborhoods of Hamidiya and Bustan al-Diwan, forcing Christians to flee, without giving them the chance to take their belongings. In the “Faruq Brigade”, note other sources, there seems to be armed elements of various Wahhabi groups and mercenaries from Libya and Iraq.
