HONG KONG — A senior pro-Beijing lawmaker said Monday that US whistleblower Edward Snowden, who is believed to be holed up in Hong Kong after leaking details of a massive secret Internet surveillance programme, should leave the city.
Regina Ip, formerly the city’s top official overseeing security, told reporters the city’s administration was “obliged to comply with the terms of agreements” with the US government, which included the extradition of fugitives.

here’s a war on dogs in Allen County Ohio. Almost 100 pets have already been seized by the Allen County Dog Warden since beginning a compliance sweep in recent days.
Allen County dog owners who haven’t licensed their dogs this year better do one of two things immediately: buy a license today or hide their family dog(s)! The Dog Warden is doing a clean sweep of unlicensed pets. On Thursday, they posted [...]
Both political parties act like they dislike each other, but behind closed doors they buddy up for a drink and make deals.
They put on this show that they disagree with each other, when in fact both political parties are working for the global elite, both political parties are working toward a New World Order.
This is the fall of the republic, the limitations on the government have been whittled away. These [...]
For days Donald Trump teased ahead to a big reveal about President Barack Obama, saying his announcement would be made with the best interest of the United States of America in mind.
Basically, the announcement, made at noon, started with the reference to the earlier birth certificate controversy and questioned Obama’s college records.
If Pres. Obama releases his college records and his passport records, then Trump says he will give a $5 million [...]
Goldman Sachs President Gary Cohn told Bloomberg Television’s Sara Eisen today that he will “probably read” Greg Smith’s tell-all book, “Why I Left Goldman Sachs,” which comes out on October 22nd.

Against my blood pressure’s best interest, I often try to seek out opinions contrary to my own just to see how the “other side” is seeing things.
Does anyone have any opinion on this article here? There were a couple of lines that made me think I was reading some sort of parody (which I’ve bolded).but perhaps I’ve been in the goldbug/Austrian camp for so long that I’ve forgotten how out [...]
From Zerohedge:
The last few months have seen a rapid deterioration in economic newsflow. SocGen’s newsflow indicators, which capture sentiment regarding trends in the underlying economy (based on the balance of economic strength and weakness in newswire and newspaper articles) typically leads the economy by around three months. Currently, this intriguing indicator suggests a notable drop off in global industrial production – and furthermore, while Fed/ECB anticipation has dragged market-implied inflation [...]
America is quickly approaching a catastrophic economic collapse. Before you dismiss this as hype or paranoia, take a few minutes to review the facts outlined on this page. The numbers don’t lie. At this point, the dollar crash is unavoidable… far from an exaggeration this is a mathematical certainty. As repelling as that sounds, it’s in your own best interest to learn just how bad the situation is.
According to the [...]
Within the Primal/paleo community and elsewhere, it’s often stated offhandedly that wheat is addictive. And absolutely, wheat for many people feels like something they could never give up. I hear it all the time: “I couldn’t live without bread.” “What would I do without cereal, dinner rolls, toast, {insert your favorite grain-based food item here}.” And wheat is often the main culprit in the sugar/insulin rollercoaster that drives sugar-burners’ need to eat [...]
Five years after tying the knot in an Italian castle in 2006, Tom Cruise, 49, and Katie Holmes, 33, are divorcing, People magazine is reporting exclusively.
“This is a personal and private matter for Katie and her family,” Holmes’s attorney Jonathan Wolfe told the mag. “Katie’s primary concern remains, as it always has been, her daughter’s best interest.”
The couple have one daughter together, six-year-old Suri Cruise. We can only imagine what she’ll think of this news.
This was the first marriage for Holmes and [...]
Connecticut on Friday became the 17th U.S. state to legalize the medical use of marijuana.
The state’s Governor Dannel Malloy signed into law legislation allowing licensed physicians to certify an adult patient’s use of marijuana for medical purposes, according to a statement from the governor’s office.
The new law puts in place restrictions to prevent the kind of abuse that has plagued some of the 16 other states and the District of [...]

Because stripping all the recent rhetoric and bluster about this insolvent nation or that, the real explanation for Europe’s troubles, and the real reason why virtually every country except for Germany, is essentially insolvent (something that has absolutely nothing to do with how much liquidity the ECB can provide, and in fact by making liquidity free to fill transitory needs, the ECB enables even more destructive behavior that does nothing [...]

We have already provided much cold, hard, clinical facts on the hypothetical Greek EMU exit on countless occasions before. Yet Jefferies’ David Zervos has done it with such a peculiar flair which we have not encountered before, that we felt compelled to share with it readers. Zervos’ flair shines particularly when analyzing what happens at T-0, i.e., June 16, i.e., the day before Greek election day, i.e., the last [...]
It’s pretty obvious where we are headed. The two remaining candidates in the current POTUS election are a testament to our corporatized political system, closed to anyone without the requisite $ millions $ in a campaign war chest. The latest contender, Romney, proves the point that the one with the biggest bankroll wins the slot. The difference between Bush and Obama has not even been recognizable. They are beholden to the [...]
Olympic ski champion Lindsey Vonn is in trouble with the IRS and owes over $1.7million in back taxes.
Ms Vonn, who announced in November that she was getting a divorce from her husband of four years, admitted that the tax trouble stems back to her 2010 filing and has vowed to get back on course with federal authorities.
‘The money owed was for the 2010 tax year, which was filed on time, [...]
ELK GROVE (CBS13) – You’ve heard the saying smoke ‘em if you got ‘em. But if you got ‘em and you live in an apartment complex in Elk Grove, the luxury of lighting up may soon go up in smoke.

He’s talking about the possibility of banning smoking in all apartment complexes in the city.

Newt Gingrich has found a new avenue of influence – the gas station. His campaign stop at a local gas station, holding the gas pump in his hand, decrying the lack of “algae energy” was brilliant.
He is correct. There is currently no algae energy available for America’s massive demand and thanks to President Obama, there is no fossil fuel plan, either. He stifles coal. He stifles oil. He stifles natural [...]
Fresno Mayor Ashley Swearengin this morning warned that the city is in “severe financial stress” that demands immediate action and presented a 10-year “Fiscal Sustainability Policy” calling for more concessions from city workers, including reductions in health and paid-leave benefits.

An activist group whose leaders object to the beliefs of Pat Buchanan, a senior adviser to three American presidents, a candidate for the Republican nomination in 1992 and 1996, and the Reform Party’s presidential candidate in 2000, is announcing victory in its campaign to have the author of multiple best-selling books removed from MSNBC.

Freedom. This is held to be of the highest ideals and states which mankind can achieve. It is a single-ingredient formula for receiving the blessings of the universal intelligence which knows only love and acceptance. It is what the Masters have decided was worth more than anything the material plane can offer.
So how odd that man relinquishes it willingly on a constant basis by the mere power of suggestion.

Members of the U.S. military flying on official orders while in uniform may soon see faster security screening while traveling through the nation’s airports.

Ron Paul doesn’t bow to the corporate hierarchy, he doesn’t take their money, and he isn’t corruptable. In short, he is the a nightmare for the ruling elite, and they will, by all means of nasty propaganda and psyops, marginalize him, and silence him before he awakens too many of the entranced masses. Paul’s vision for America [...]

Is China Ready To Pull The Plug?
There are two mainstream market assumptions that, in my mind, prevail over all others. The continuing function of the Dow, the sustained flow of capital into and out of the banking sector, and the full force spending of the federal government are ALL entirely dependent on the lifespan of these dual illusions; one, that the U.S. [...]
House Democratic leaders are calling on President Obama to forget about trying to persuade Republican lawmakers to back the party’s job message.
The pleas come from some Democrats who were frustrated with the president’s agreement on the debt-limit debate earlier this summer, and are looking to change the political dynamic on both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue.
With Obama poised to address a joint session of Congress [...]
PROVO — After a year of complaints, doing their own investigation and raising Cain at Provo Municipal Council meetings, a group of citizens knew they were heard on Wednesday when the Utah County Attorney’s Office charged Municipal Councilman Steve Turley with 10 second-degree felonies and his fellow elected officials asked him to resign.
The “exhaustive” official investigation from the Utah County Bureau of Investigations took [...]

Greece: What’s next? Restructuring. When? Sooner than you think.
This weekend’s not so secret meeting was the first step towards what could be a rapid end game of Greek debt restructuring. The lenders are unlikely to give Greece the exact same terms as Portugal and seem intent on demanding collateral against future loans. Greece must resist providing collateral since it [...]

I’ve often said that I wish there were some humane way to get rid of the rich. If you asked why, I’d answer that getting rid of the rich would save us from distraction by leftist hustlers promoting the politics of envy.
Not having the rich to fret over might enable us to better focus our energies on what’s in the best [...]

The numbers still blow me away.
In the wake of the crisis, there are observable divergences in the types of responses by developed economies. The challenge is to bring down leverage. A good measurement for national indebtedness is the ratio of the total debt level of the real economy-government, non-financial companies and households relative to GDP. For example, the U.S. government debt is US$ 14 trillion, [...]

Its amazing that we talk about rules and laws and who interprets all the language.

Things have changed. Price wise they changed when silver broke $20.92, and as gold made its September run. This systematic change is picking up speed, though generating growth since the crash of ’08, and never looking back.
