These are clear warnings signs that a rational person simply cannot ignore. Bottom line, Nations are going bust. And the worse things get, the more desperate their tactics become. This isn’t the first time that the world has been in this position. This time is not different. History shows that [...] Nigel Farage spoke at the Sovereign Man: Offshore Tactics Workshop in Santiago, Chile, on March 30 – April 1, 2013. China recently moved an Army corps close to the North Korean border and staged a live-fire exercise with tanks and self-propelled guns. Experts believe Beijing is taking no chances in case a North Korean provocation leads to an emergency. The official Global Times on Monday reported that an armored brigade from a Shenyang mechanized infantry unit carried out live-fire maneuvers near the border on April 1. http://english.chosun.com/site/data/html_dir/2013/04/12/2013041200566.html Cancer clinics across the country have begun turning away thousands of Medicare patients, blaming the sequester budget cuts. Oncologists say the reduced funding, which took effect for Medicare on April 1, makes it impossible to administer expensive chemotherapy drugs while staying afloat financially. Patients at these clinics would need to seek treatment elsewhere, such as at hospitals that might not have the capacity to accommodate them. “If we treated the patients receiving the [...] Lawrence E. Rafferty The recent news about Cyprus banks confiscating depositor’s funds sent chills throughout the financial world here and abroad. I couldn’t believe that the plan in Cyprus hinged on the idea that the bank could just steal customer’s funds to balance the bank’s books. I muttered to myself when I read the story that something as crazy as that couldn’t possible happen here in the United States. [...] Ethan A. Huff A key component of the government healthcare takeover known as Obamacare is already shaping up to be a complete failure, according to reports, and it has not yet even come into effect. An official in charge of the Obamacare insurance exchange program recently told guests at a conference that the federal government is working on contingency plans for the struggling program, which was insinuated as potentially [...] foxnews.com With momentum building toward the completion of a draft immigration bill, Republican lawmakers — even one at the center of the talks — are urging Senate leaders to slow the process down to avoid making “fatal” mistakes. Advocates for a comprehensive immigration reform bill were jubilant over the weekend after representatives for big business and labor agreed on a framework for allowing low-skilled workers into the country. Sen. Chuck Schumer, [...] Nick Collins
Researchers from the Sheffield Centre for Robotics programmed a group of 40 small robots which could organise themselves into a group and work together to solve simple tasks. Swarming robots could eventually be shrunk to a microscopic size for use in medical procedures, because they require no memory and could function without a processor, experts said. They could also be built to larger sizes and used in military or [...] xinhuanet.com The Chinese navy conducted a target-practice drill using live ammunition in the public waters of the west Pacific Ocean on Sunday. The drill was conducted by the Chinese Navy’s Nanhai Fleet. The fleet, since entering the training sections of the West Pacific, has also run anti-terrorism and anti-piracy exercises, as well as anti-missile, anti-air strike, anti-submarine exercises, and practice of daytime landing of warship-carried helicopters plus search-and-rescue. Wang Zhihe, judge with [...] Communist Party now holds sway over American audiences Paul Joseph Watson A scene from the new Brad Pitt movie World War Z had to be changed so as not to offend Chinese state censors, just one of numerous recent examples where American movies are being amended in order to please China’s ruling Communist Party leaders.
“In the offending scene, characters debate the geographic origin of an outbreak that caused a [...] Zero Hedge Just last week Yiannakis Omirou, Cypriot House of Representatives President, was calling for the nation to accept it is “time for responsibility” as they progressed towards a final solution; and yet today, as Cyprus’ Famagusta reports, he believes the ‘Troika-imposed’ responsibility will, “turn Cyprus into a colony of the worst possible type.” His ‘Icelandic’ solution is to “leave the Troika and EMS behind,” to ensure “national independence, national sovereignty, moral [...] New York City plans to require all employers with 20 or more workers to give employees paid time off when they get sick, under a compromise agreement reached last night. The mandate will take effect on April 1, 2014, and will extend to include businesses with 15 or more employees a year later, under the accord, which was confirmed by Robin Levine, a City Council spokeswoman. It will also require all employers [...] The sequestration cuts are already taking a toll on Florida’s aviation industry as two of South Florida’s smallest airports- North Perry in Broward and Opa-Locka in Miami-Dade will go “dark” in April. The FAA has slated for the closing of 189 federal air traffic control towers on April 1. According to Federal officials, this would leave “private pilots to navigate themselves to the runways without help from air-traffic controllers,” also [...] For more than a century, the White House Easter Egg Roll has been insulated from the sort of partisan sniping that now dominates Washington politics. That tradition ended Monday, when Republicans started complaining about a notice that the event could be canceled due to a potential government shutdown. The Obama administration has already come under GOP criticism for canceling White House tours due to the mandatory, across-the-board cuts known as sequestration. The memo — which doesn’t actually [...] Emails exchanged by top U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials confirm that ICE delayed the deportation of President Obama’s uncle, an illegal immigrant, and that they had a close eye on Mitt Romney’s view of the issue. “Mr. Onyango is subject to a final order of deportation. ICE had granted him a stay of deportation effective until June 5, 2012,” Brian Hale, director of ICE’s public affairs, explained in an [...] The state is broke, the roads are falling apart, the schools suck, the taxes and regulations are terrible, and half the time you don’t know if you’re in the United States or not.

From WSJ: SHANGHAI—In a fresh sign of official displeasure with the nation’s state-run banking system, China’s bank regulator has warned lenders they will be “severely punished” for charging excessive fees. In a notice on its website dated Friday, the China Banking Regulatory Commission said it began an investigation into bank fees on April 1, adding that banks that are found [...] Tyler Perry’s April 1 Facebook post about police pulling him over was no April Fool’s joke: The highest-paid man in entertainment is accusing a pair of white Atlanta police officers of racial profiling. Four days later, Perry’s post boasts more than 117,000 “likes,” 21,000 comments, and 12,000 shares. Atlanta police have launched an internal investigation, E! News reports. Perry’s predicament began when he admittedly made a left turn from a far-right lane — [...] BBC Rebels fighting the government of President Bashar al-Assad in Syria will be paid salaries, the opposition Syrian National Council has announced.

Carlo Munoz As the Pentagon begins to wind down the war in Afghanistan, the smaller conflicts elite U.S. forces are fighting around the world are heating up. But DoD needs more than just men and materiel to meet these challenges. It needs additional authority from Congress to do so. “Most of the authorities that we have right now are narrowly construed to counterterrorism … [but] I think for some countries [...] Bob Chapman The housing recovery seems to have been a temporary affair. Preliminary data frames March as weak as last October. It looks like lower interest rates boasted sales. Those rates are up from 4.72% to 5.02%. Worse yet, Operation Twist is over. That is where the Fed sold the short end of the bond market and bought notes and bonds of 5, 7, 10 and 30 years. Even [...] Emily Ekins The Hill reports: The Senate approved the extension of federal highway funding that was passed by the House on Thursday, accepting a short-term solution leaders in the chamber vehemently opposed.
