Bill Black: Weakness of financial regulators shows you can not “tame the scorpion”. 5 commercial mega-banks continue to trade roughly $300 trillion in unregulated derivatives. In other words unregulated derivatives are 32 times total U.S. deposits and 11,900 times the FDIC’s paltry $25 billion insurance fund. Senate investigators: APPLE avoided $44 billion in taxes Senate investigators accuse Apple of wiring together a complicated system to shield billions of dollars in international profits from both U.S. and foreign tax collectors. A report released ahead of Apple CEO Tim Cook’s inaugural Capitol Hill appearance Tuesday alleges the tech giant took advantage of numerous U.S. tax loopholes and avoided U.S. taxes on $44 billion in offshore, taxable income between 2009 and [...] Photos, Social Media Capture Terror of Okla.

So, they are talking about ‘bail-ins’ because they are expecting failures.” Dr. Willie contends, “It’s all coming to a climax where gold is going to be central with a gold-trade central bank and gold priced at $7,000 per ounce.” Join Greg Hunter as he goes [...] I check this site time to time due to my travel on business.

They write the rules. One set for them. One set for us. 50 million of our fellow countrymen starve and depend on paltry government distributions to put food on the table every month. Millions have lost their homes and their jobs. And future generations are saddled with trillions of dollars in debt that can never be repaid. All the while, those who are supposed to serve the people have [...] Boston News, Weather, Sports | FOX 25 | MyFoxBoston by Charles Hugh-Smith The Devil is in the details. The Devil, of course, always claims to be “doing God’s work.” Satan’s job, as it were, is to deceive, and if claiming to be “doing God’s work” deceives the credulous, then by golly, Satan will do so with the utmost sincerity.

Japan has fueled much of this latest rally in stocks, driving the marketing first with promises of money printing by the Prime Minister in November 2012, and then a massive $1.2 trillion QE program announced by the Bank of Japan last month. The result of this has been a collapse in the Yen and a 70%+ rally in the Nikkei in the last six months. This has been the fundamental [...] “We don’t have to worry about a recession — we are in a depression,” says Jim Rickards. “We don’t have to worry about a recession — we are in a depression,” says James Rickards. “If you take the classic definition of a sustained, long-term downturn with economic growth below trend, then we are in the midst of a depression,” says the senior managing director of Tangent Capital and author of “Currency Wars.” Rickards [...]
“The Refusal of King George III to Allow The Colonies To Operate An Honest Money System, Which Freed The Ordinary Man From The Clutches of The Money Manipulators Was Probably The Prime Cause Of the Revolution.” from FT:
There is no better topic than gold to polarise an investment discussion. So the recent sharp drop in the metal’s price has pushed to fever pitch the debate between two camps with deeply held convictions: those who view gold as overvalued and lacking both income and capital appreciation attributes; and those who feel it is only a matter of time before others appreciate again gold’s unique role as an [...] A rare peek into a Justice Department leak probe When the Justice Department began investigating possible leaks of classified information about North Korea in 2009, investigators did more than obtain telephone records of a working journalist suspected of receiving the secret material. They used security badge access records to track the reporter’s comings and goings from the State Department, according to a newly obtained court affidavit. They traced the timing of his [...] by GoldCore

In a controversial move that some believe will essentially lead to a de facto ban on semi-automatic handguns, Attorney General Kamala Harris announced that, effective immediately, all new semi-automatic firearms sold in the State of California will require a unique microstamp on every shell ejected when a gun is fired. Microstamping, or ballistic imprinting, is a technology patented in the 1990?s by engineer and NRA member Todd Lizotte. When a gun [...] US suspends Constitution in permanent world war on terror Two disturbing developments have occurred in the last couple of days that have gone relatively unnoticed compared to the recent IRS, AP, and Benghazi scandals.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (CBS Charlotte/AP) — First lady Michelle Obama has some advice for some Tennessee high school graduates: Strike your own path in college and life and work to overcome inevitable failures with determination and grit.

The ceremony took place in the gymnasium [...] A Fox News correspondent was accused in a Justice Department affidavit of being a possible criminal “co-conspirator” for his alleged role in publishing sensitive security information — in a leak case that takes the highly unusual step of claiming a journalist broke the law. According to court documents, the Justice Department obtained a portfolio of information about Fox News’ James Rosen’s conversations and visits to the State Department. This included a [...] RUSSIA-NAVY-MEDITERRANEAN Moscow, May 20 (Interfax-AVN) – The Nikolai Filchenkov and the Azov large landing ships of the Russian Black Sea Fleet have begun a Mediterranean mission in the planned rotation of the inter-fleet group, fleet spokesman and Captain 1st Rank Vyacheslav Trukhachev told Interfax-AVN on Monday. http://www.interfax.co.uk/ukraine-news/two-large-landing-ships-of-russian-black-sea-fleet-join-mediterranean-force-2/ Alligator-class landing ship http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alligator_class_landing_ship Russian Pacific Fleet Warships Enter Mediterranean For First Time In Decades, To Park In Cyprus Earlier we reported that the US has now officially landed a Marine [...] Chinese hackers who breached Google’s servers several years ago gained access to a sensitive database with years’ worth of information about U.S. surveillance targets, according to current and former government officials. The breach appears to have been aimed at unearthing the identities of Chinese intelligence operatives in the United States who may have been under surveillance by American law enforcement agencies. It’s unclear how much the hackers were able to discover. But [...] From Junk Science: With the IRS scandal shining a much-needed light on the miserable agency that would be the majordomo of Obamacare, we should also examine the preposterous “reasoning” at the heart of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA)… I refer to the quite foolish notion that making insurance more available, albeit not necessarily more affordable, is somehow the biggest problem facing our failing health care system. Let’s try an analogy: [...] The true scale of the tornado that swept through much of Oklahoma was captured by a number of home-made videos that show the precursor for the devastation on Monday.
