Al Jazeera Activists demanding the closure of the Guantanamo Bay prison have marked the 100th day of a hunger strike there by submitting a petition to the White House containing some 370,000 signatures. A group of activists wearing orange jumpsuits and black hoods like those used on detainees at Guantanamo Bay gathered outside the White House on Friday to call for the immediate closure of the controversial jail. “Immoral, illegal, ineffective,” [...] Mac Slavo
The Department of Homeland Security may be in possession of nearly two billion rounds of ammunition, but despite claiming it’s being stockpiled for the safety of Americans, they’re not sharing. The shortages of popular ammunition rounds has made it difficult for average citizens to acquire most calibers of ammunition through regular retail channels, but the empty shelves don’t stop there. Police departments across the country are scarmbling to find [...] If all PMI numbers come in really bad, I’m expecting the DOW to go even higher. Embrace the madness. Up is down, black is white. Printing money good, gold bad. Debt is good, saving bad. Spend, spend dammit! Spend you fuckers! SPEND!!! The Koreans need to ship some useless shit over here or else this whole thing goes down the shitter. Spend, even if you have to borrow it. But remember: [...] zerohedge.com While suicides out of desperation had long been a tragic, if recurring, staple in depressionary Europe, so far popular anger had been directed at within, with few if any murderous outbursts targeted at other people, and certainly not at politicians (or financiers). This obviously has been a critical aspect of the current economic collapse in Europe – one needs but recall that it was a political assassination that [...] by GoldCore Today’s AM fix was USD 1,577.25, EUR 1,212.80 and GBP 1,029.60 per ounce.

Pfizer, Roche, GlaxoSmithKline, Sanofi and many other have all reportedly joined in the partial embargo out of a fear that the low-priced drugs sold to Greece would be [...] Two technology firms that monitor global Internet traffic report that Syria has been cut off from the Internet. Regular landline phone and cell phones services have been affected as well, Syrian opposition activist Ammar Abdulhamid told me. “Therefore, the possibility of accidental damage can be discounted,” said Abdulhamid. “This is something done intentionally by the regime, and reflects growing desperation on account of the recent advances made by rebels, especially in Damascus.”
The [...] KEITH HUMPHREYS I met Shirelle as she entered treatment for cocaine addiction at the height of the crack epidemic in the 1980s. An ancient-looking African-American woman who was in fact in her late 30s, she met my gaze with a look that I had seen all over the blighted neighborhoods of Detroit: a disturbing combination of twitchy facial movements and inert, vacant eyes.

Do you think the government will be there for you in the middle of a crisis? If they can’t handle the emergency response after a Category 1 hurricane, what will this country look like when the economic and fiscal crisis comes to a head? What happens if the US dollar comes under attack from foreign creditors who choose to no longer accept it in trade? How will we as [...] Download … Looters have taken advantage of the confusion and desperation by dressing as Con Edison workers and breaking into houses on the pretext that they were doing electrical repairs. Sushko reports that around 15 people have been arrested for looting. http://voicerussia.com/radio_broadcast/61124198/93208978.html By Michael Have you ever laid in bed awake at night with a knot in your stomach because you didn’t know how your family was possibly going to make it through the next month financially? Have you ever felt the desperation of not being able to provide the basic necessities for your family even though you tried as hard as you could? All over America tonight, there are millions of desperate [...] KWN Today 40 year veteran, Robert Fitzwilson, wrote the following piece exclusively for King World News. Fitzwilson, who is founder of The Portola Group, warned about a chaotic future where, “Along the way, various currencies will become the safe haven of the day, but none will survive what lies ahead.” He also cautioned, “No amount of printing or economic growth can prevent our destiny of currency destruction and entitlement collapse.”
Below is Fitzwilson’s [...] Yesterday’s “leak” of Draghi’s comments that it is not monetization if just the tip only bonds with a maturity of 3 years or less are monetized, aka, legitimate monetization does not cause inflationwas so horribly handled that the ECB huffed and puffed in a desperate attempt to appear angry, even though it was absolutely delighted that it had even more ammo in its war against Germany. Today, the leakage continues only this time nobody [...] You can sense almost an air of desperation from David Kostin, Goldman Sachs chief U.S. equity strategist, in his latest note to clients as he pleads with them to take money out of stocks before they fall off the fiscal cliff. In the note, Kostin vehemently defends his year-end S&P 500 [.SPX 1415.69 -2.47 (-0.17%) ] target of 1250 despite the benchmark’s recent rise to above 1400. The strategist still sees a 12 percent drop ahead, believing that [...] Another day, another prediction of a Greek exit from the euro zone. But unlike the vast majority who give a medium term timeline for a “Grexit”, one strategist told CNBC it could come as early as next month. “It’s a question of when, not if. Next month there is the ratification of the ESM [European Stability Mechanism] in Germany and you may well see a situation where Greece leaves the euro, [...] The insolvent banana continent is back. Recall back in May 2011: “When it becomes serious, you have to lie.” -Jean Claude Juncker Ergo, things in Europe are very serious again because the Eurogroup’s head, who until recently promised he was quitting his post because “he had gotten tired of the Franco-German interference in managing the region’s debt crisis”, only to spoil the fun and say he was lying about that too, is back to doing [...] by mybudget360
It is always a sign of desperation to ban short selling. Trying to put an artificial bottom usually backfires and we are seeing this hit in Spain. The situation is unsustainable and has taken the headlines away from Greece. Spain is a much bigger economy and they are deep in a recession with headline unemployment near 25 percent. Financial and government leaders continually attempt to solve a debt crisis with more debt. [...] KWN Today Stephen Leeb told King World News, “… there is a controlled desperation in China when it comes to acquiring gold.” Leeb, who is Chairman of Leeb Capital Management, also said, “They are acquiring as much as they possibly can without tilting the markets dramatically to the upside.”
The acclaimed money manager also stated, “China mined a total of 355 tons, which was by far the largest amount of gold mined [...] Egyptian husband and wife arrived at Sharjah International Airport on Friday night but were held at immigration as child did not have a visa Baby’s outline was spotted on the scanner by officials A couple were caught trying to smuggle their baby [...] In a meaningless “test” of investor appetite for Spain’s Thursday issuance of 2, 3 and 5 years bonds, Spain today sold €3.04 billion in 12 and 18 month bills, well inside the LTRO maturity, and completely meaningless from a risk perspective – after all even Greece is issuing Bills. Yet for some reason the market which continues to be dumber by the day, somehow took the “successful” auction as an [...] Anyone want to try defining “overnight” for me, just so that we have a rule of thumb going forward? On Inauguration Day, I would have accepted “2009? or even “his first two years in office” as plausible answers. Instead, five months out from election day, somehow dawn still has yet to break. His braintrust is now actually on the cusp of arguing, in all seriousness, that it’s unfair to judge [...] http://www.tfmetalsreport.com/blog/3844/desperation-tender-trap Go to 12:55 mark in video. Finally, below is hands-down the single most important item of the day. Some of you may recall that I alluded to “big things behind the scenes” a few days ago. This is one of those things. Please watch this interview of Hugo Salinas-Price.

As a result four out of ten admitted their marriage or relationship had suffered, while a quarter said their performance at work had also been blighted. Nutritionists are now urging dieters to take sensible steps to avoid such symptoms. Four out of ten women admitted their weight obsession had a negative impact One in three women admitted [...] Like any young boy, this child wanted to avoid being separated from his mother for too long.

Spain’s prime minister warned that his country can’t continue much longer with its current high borrowing rates and urged a joint European response to help.
