Most people think that World War I started as a result of the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria. It’s an easily digestible narrative, and one that can be summed up in a thirty second talking point. But students of history understand that neither the assassination of Ferdinand or Pearl Harbor were the underlying reasons behind the wars that subsequently ravaged our planet. These were mere [...]
Solar Cycle 24 just peaked and is far lower than all the world’s great sun scientists predictions, what does it mean?
First the evidence, here’s NOAA’s latest chart:
Take a close look at the smoothed blue line, the lagging moving average has curved downward indicating the top is in and it is lower than even the latest revision by NASA.
This cycle is far lower than all the predictions, including lower than all [...]
Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr., saying the federal courts are setting “a good example” on cutting costs, noted on Monday that the Supreme Court itself will be asking Congress for less money in its budget for the year that begins next October 1 — fiscal year 2014.
The Court, he said in his annual report on the federal courts, had found ways to save more than $2.2 million on expenses, so it [...]
MICHAEL PENTO: It Would Be More Surprising If Gold Didn’t Go To $10,000
The world’s central banks have gold bulls on high alert thanks to unprecedented, ultra-easy monetary policy.
Eric King of King World News asked Michael Pento if this means gold $10,000 is coming.
Here’s Pento’s response:
“Absolutely. I know it sounds ridiculous, but don’t forget that back in the 1930s it was (around) $21 an ounce. No one would ever have believed [...]

The assault on the organic industry is in full swing today, and it’s an attack not merely on the industry itself but an attack on your sanity. If you “believe” in organic foods and non-GMOs, you are about to be labeled a delusional conspiracy theorist.

When expectations are raised to impossible heights based on the promise of exponential financialization, the credibility of the Status Quo is doomed.
Data is important, but not all trends can be quantified. Longtime readers know that I value data and often use charts to explain the forces of transition/collapse. But there are profound dynamics that are not easily quantified, instances in which quantification may obscure our understanding.
Credibility and expectations [...]
SEATTLE, Aug. 6, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ — Milliman, Inc., a premier global consulting and actuarial firm, today released the results of its latest Pension Funding Index, which consists of 100 of the nation’s largest defined benefit pension plans.

With the United Nations poised to sign an international arms treaty that would regulate global arms sales and ownership, and Congressional members just days ago attempting to sneak a nationwide restriction on “high capacity magazines” into a cyber security bill, the attack on firearm ownership in America is now in full swing.

I have been saying this for awhile but now hard data confirms it. Unemployment is more likely 15-20% or higher. Jobs are out there but are harder to find and often times looking in the classified ads you will see the same 20-30 jobs being posted over and over month in and month out.

With summer now in full swing, San Diegans are heading to beaches and pools to cool off and get exercise. But for East-African women in City Heights, taking a dip isn’t so easy. Many of them are Muslim and can’t swim in co-ed pools – but that’s changing.
Each Saturday, staff at the Copley YMCA in City Heights begin clearing out the pool and locker rooms early. They send their male [...]

Depending on whom you ask, great doom will manifest at the upcoming 2012 Olympic Games through all kinds of sudden calamities: either a massive false flag event will be going down, with some dirty bomb detonated- or several separate ones, rudely shaking the city of London, reminiscent of the 7/7 false flag operation in the English capital. In my first article The Boy Who Cried Wolf: Is Predictive [...]
I would like to offer some statistics, that hopefully will give a little perspective to the coming 2012 Presidential Election. I had a theory pop into my head this morning, and once I looked up the data behind it, I was amazed at the outcome.
Back during ’07, when the campaigning for ’08 was in full swing, it was an extremely difficult time for anyone opposed to Obama as President.
I know [...]
Man-made financial phenomena imitate nature, but more importantly they are subject to the powerful laws of economic nature. The Wall Street financial engineers have built vast structures, which tragically are crumbling and soon will fall to the ground. Vast illusory wealth will be lost, never truly garnered. The fiat currency system has required tremendous efforts not only to build the financial skyscrapers ever higher each year, but also to provide [...]

The Bilderberg Group plans to put the finishing touches to a global carbon tax agenda that is already in full swing, according to our inside sources, with the threat of endangered species set to replace man-made global warming as the main vehicle through which the elite’s post-industrial revolution is accomplished.

The underlying reason: Spain (NYSEARCA:EWP) is caught in the same vicious cycle as Greece …
• The more the government tries to cut spending to reign in its bulging federal deficit, the more its economy sinks.
• And the more the economy sinks, the bigger the deficit, mandating still deeper budget cuts.
The evidence: Last month, Spanish unemployment soared to a record high, forcing the government to admit that Spain’s national debt will be a lot bigger [...]

It’s campaign season and the pandering about gas prices is in full swing. Hardly a day goes by that a Republican politician does not throw facts to the wind and claim that rising costs at the pump are the result of President Obama’s decisions to block the Keystone XL pipeline and impose sensible environmental regulations and modest restrictions on offshore drilling.
Next, of course, comes [...]

Yes, silly season is in full swing, but you should understand clearly what’s going on with gas prices, fraud in the economy, and the promises being made by political candidates.

San Francisco philanthropist Susie Tompkins Buell, one of the Democratic Party’s most generous benefactors, is keeping her checkbook closed when President Obama holds high-priced California fundraisers this week.
“I want to look him in the eye and say, ‘Thank you so much’ ” for his work, said Buell, who expresses deep disappointment in the president’s leadership on environmental issues, especially climate change.
With Obama’s 2012 re-election campaign in full swing, “I would just love [...]

There are those who have been waiting to buy undilutable precious metals in response to a headline announcement from the Fed that it is starting to buy up hundreds of billions of Treasurys or MBS. This is understandable – after all that is precisely the trigger that the headline scanning robots which account for 90% of market action in the past year are programmed to do. And [...]
When a nation goes into economic crisis the paradigm to which its people have become accustomed begins to deteriorate. Access to critical supplies becomes difficult, sometimes immediately. In the case of Greece, which has been dealing with a loss of confidence in its debt instruments and economic policy, the collapse of life as Greeks know it has taken place over the last several years.
While we have been fortunate enough to [...]
It was a sad day for America when our elected “leaders” in Washington could not even reduce $1.2 Trillion dollars from the budget over ten years. Americans used to come together when there was a crisis, but it seems no longer. We will just be allowed to go down the debt drain with the rest of the world due to our inept Congress.
You see. As I write this piece the [...]
From Natural News:
Flu season is now in full swing and seasonal vaccinations are being pushed from every corner. Nonetheless, a recent clinical trial showed that green tea-based supplements reduced the risk of flu by 75%. This is far better than the 60% risk reduction recently reported in the Lancet for vaccinations. Given that green tea provides a host of other health benefits and none of the risks of injections, it [...]

While everyone’s attention was focused intently on peripheral European bond spreads last week and the incessant call for ECB intervention, a dramatic (and contagiously panic-worthy) move occurred in the European Investment Bank (EIB) bonds.
For those unfamiliar, the EIB is the EU’s IMF-equivalent and is the largest international non-sovereign lender and borrower. Technically, it is defined as “the European Union’s long-term lending institution established in 1958 under the Treaty of [...]

The day the Supreme Court gathered behind closed doors to consider the politically divisive question of whether it would hear a challenge to President Obama’s healthcare law, two of its justices, Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas, were feted at a dinner sponsored by the law firm that will argue the case before the high court.
The occasion was last Thursday, when all nine justices met for a conference to pore over the [...]
(Reuters) – More than 200 people were confirmed killed and hundreds more feared dead after an earthquake hit parts of southeast Turkey Sunday with rescue teams working through the night to free trapped survivors.
Early Monday Interior Minister Idris Naim Sahin said the 7.2 magnitude quake killed 100 in the city of Van and 117 in the badly hit town of Ercis, 100 km (60 miles) further north. The death toll [...]
With the FOMC meeting currently in full swing, speculation is rampant what will be announced tomorrow at 2:15 pm, with the market exhibiting its now traditional schizophrenic mood swings of either pricing in QE 6.66, or, alternatively, the apocalypse, with furious speed. And while many are convinced that at least the “Twist” is already guaranteed, as is an IOER cut, per Goldman’s “predictions” and [...]

What a week. In the past 5 days we’ve seen awful retail sales, an uptick in unemployment claims, poverty at a record high, chaos in Europe, another rogue trader scandal and, of course, a 700 point gain for the Dow Jones Industrials.
How perfectly counter-intuitive. When the God’s say “Buy”, who am I to argue? It’s as if Jessica Tandy is suddenly, inexplicably, the chauffeur rather [...]
Princess Charlene of Monaco tried to flee home to South Africa three times before her marriage to Prince Albert II, according to reports in French newspapers.

The European stock market reacted jubilantly to news that the Greek parliament agreed to Mafia-like terms demanded by the international loan sharking operation, the IMF. Investors looked myopically at the boards showing the London FTSE 100 up a smidgen along with Frankfurt’s DAX and CAC-40 in Paris. In the United States, stock futures ticked up modestly as Wall Street opened for the day. Dow Jones [...]
New York (CNN) — U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner, who has been under fire after admitting to inappropriate communications with women online, has decided to seek treatment “to focus on becoming a better husband and healthier person,” his spokeswoman said Saturday.
While the New York congressman seeks treatment at an undisclosed location, he will take a “short leave of absence” from Congress, Risa Heller said in a [...]
