Big Brother is watching everything that you do on the Internet and listening to everything that you say on your phone. Every single day in America, the U.S. government intercepts and stores nearly 2 billion emails, phone calls and other forms of electronic communication. Former NSA employees have come forward and have described exactly what is taking place, and this surveillance activity has been reported on by prominent news organizations [...]

War is a horrible thing. Just ask anyone that has ever been in the middle of it. And in this day and age governments around the world possess weapons of such incalculable power that war should be unthinkable. In future wars, we could literally see millions of people killed on a single day. Nobody should want that or look forward to that. Unfortunately, the next major regional war in [...]

First lady Michelle Obama said that students at a high school just five miles from her family’s Chicago home told her that “every day they wake up and wonder whether they’re going to make it out of school alive.”
In an interview with “CBS Sunday Morning” that will air this weekend, the first lady said that when she met students after delivering a speech last month on [...]

The next Great Depression is already happening – it just hasn’t reached the United States yet. Things in Europe just continue to get worse and worse, and yet most people in the United States still don’t get it. All the time I have people ask me when the “economic collapse” is going to happen. Well, for ages I have been warning that the next major wave of the ongoing [...]

We had a fairly decent monthly employment print this Friday which followed some decent ISM numbers. Based on these survey’s, an argument can be made that the FED has averted (at least prolonged) a near certain recession. Not everybody is convinced, I know I’m not. Aushtan from ECRI is sticking to his call (see “What I’m watching section”) too. I guess the FED doesn’t think so either; otherwise rates wouldn’t [...]
Venezuelans have just been experimenting one of the risks associated with paper money.
Actually, they just lost 46% of their purchasing power in a single day, following the Venezuelan government’s decision to devaluate the bolivar by 46%, from 4,30 to 6,30 bolivars (to the dollar).
The currency war to the bottom is raging on the international scene but, contrary to other countries (Europe, USA, Japan) using obscure language, like ‘quantitative easing’ and [...]

If you want to frighten Baby Boomers, just show them the list of statistics in this article. The United States is headed for a retirement crisis of unprecedented magnitude, and we are woefully unprepared for it. At this point, more than 10,000 Baby Boomers are reaching the age of 65 every single day, and this will continue to happen for almost the next 20 years. The number of senior citizens in [...]

The number of Americans receiving money directly from the federal government has grown from 94 million in the year 2000 to over 128 million today. A shocking new research paper by Patrick Tyrrell and William W. Beach contains that statistic and a whole bunch of other very revealing numbers. According to their research, the federal government hands out money to 41.3 percent of the entire population of the United States each month. [...]
Good News for Israel, Bad News for Syrian Refugees in Jordan
Weather in the Middle East is usually not very interesting. In the summer, it’s hot, and in the winter it’s cool. Sometimes it rains.
But this week, it’s rained and rained and rained. Snow is also predicted for Jerusalem and Amman, a rare occurrence that has children in both cities anxiously watching the sky.
In Israel, the level of the Sea of [...]

Mass murderer Adam Lanza is yet another example of how society is collapsing right in front of our eyes. When I was young, I never imagined that someone would come into my school and try to kill me. But now any school that does not have armed security is being incredibly foolish. The mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut on Friday was the second worst school [...]

If you’ve ever been arrested on a drug charge, if you’ve ever spent even a day in jail for having a stem of marijuana in your pocket or “drug paraphernalia” in your gym bag, Assistant Attorney General and longtime Bill Clinton pal Lanny Breuer has a message for you: Bite me.
Breuer this week signed off on a settlement deal with the British banking giant HSBC that is the ultimate [...]
OAKLAND (KCBS) – The U.S. government is getting ready to conduct an experiment of sorts inside Oakland middle school classrooms – trying to teach kids about safe dating skills.
In a classroom at the Alameda County Public Health Department in San Leandro, 25 social workers, educators and parents gathered into small groups, learning about teenage relationship violence.

The thought police are watching you. Back in the 1990s, lots of jokes were made about “political correctness”, and almost everybody thought they were really funny. Unfortunately, very few people are laughing now because political correctness has become a way of life in America. If you say the “wrong thing” you could lose your job or you could rapidly end up in court. Every single day, the mainstream media [...]
 It’s no joke, guys!
Look at the USGS list:
http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww/Quakes/quakes_big.php
Do you see what I’m seeing?
Yeah… Quakes with magnitude of 6.0 or above, EVERY DAY!
THIS IS NOT NORMAL!
Quakes with magnitude of 6.0 or above usually only happen 7 or 8 times PER MONTH! I said PER MONTH!
But starting on the November 11th, a date that can be interpreted as the mysterious 11:11 that so many people was seeing everywhere, we already had 8 quakes like that in just [...]

Stuff costs too much. Seriously. Every time I go to the grocery store these days, I am absolutely horrified by the prices. I try not to buy anything that is not on sale, but the problem is that I am discovering that the new sale prices are the old regular prices. So now paying what used to be “full price” is supposedly a “good deal”. The other way that [...]
It’s a display of fire power, defense and attack capabilities. This exercise, one of the biggest single-day drills in Alborz Province, is a chance for the Basij volunteer forces to show what’s in their arsenal. Speaking before the drill, Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari said Iran’s armed forces are fully ready to deter the enemy’s provocations.
Speaking to Press TV, the commander of Basij [...]
Excerpt from Casey Research
:
A trillion seconds was… just short of 32,000 years ago!
That’s back in the day when man wasn’t even known as MAN… we were homo sapiens, Neanderthals, to be exact!
The second from the right… Homo neanderthalensis.
I don’t know about you, but that certainly helps put it into perspective for me.
32,000 years ago, a trillion seconds, was a very, very long time ago.
And, if you earned a million dollars every single day of your [...]
Wednesday was Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day, and Americans flocked to the fast food restaurant in response to criticism of COO Dan Cathy’s opposition to same-sex marriage (as well as threats from the mayors of some major cities). The photos of long lines and traffic jams reveal the extent of the restaurant’s support–for some it’s about traditional values and for others it’s about freedom of religious exercise and speech in the face of government intimidation. There are [...]
‘We’ve got the ‘storm of the century’ every year now,’ says senior vice president at utility which took 8 days to recover from June 29 storm…
WASHINGTON — From highways in Texas to nuclear power plants in Illinois, the concrete, steel and sophisticated engineering that undergird the nation’s infrastructure are being taxed to worrisome degrees by heat, drought and vicious storms.
On a single day this month here, a US Airways regional [...]

Every single day more Americans fall into poverty. This should deeply alarm you no matter what political party you belong to and no matter what your personal economic philosophy is. Right now, approximately 100 million Americans are either “poor” or “near poor”. For a lot of people “poverty” can be a nebulous concept, so let’s define it. The poverty level as defined by the federal government in 2010 was [...]

What in the world has happened to the children of America? All over the United States kids are acting like half-crazed monsters, but most people seem to think that this is “normal”. American kids today are selfish, self-centered, sadistic, cruel, disrespectful, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, boastful, unforgiving, incredibly brutal and they possess very little self-control whatsoever. They feel entitled to everything, but they don’t want to work for any of [...]
“In 2008, I tried to only making promises that I could keep or work on keeping,” President Obama said at a campaign event in Jacksonville today. “And I told you that I was not a perfect man and I wouldn’t be a perfect president but I also told you that I would always tell you what I thought, I’d always tell you where I stood and most of all I [...]
Just because there is already an overflow of confidence in the financial system, here comes the Senate’s Permanent Subcommittee On Investigations with a 340 page report detailing how HSBC “exposed the U.S. financial system to a wide array of money laundering, drug trafficking, and terrorist financing risks due to poor anti-money laundering (AML) controls.” Of course, since HSBC is one of the world’s largest banks, what it did was not [...]
Last week saw another stomach-churning volatile market for gold.
This has many gold investors not only scratching their heads, but throwing in the golden towel entirely.
And who can blame them?
Gold trading has been as erratic and unpredictable as Kim Kardashian’s love life.
On Friday, June 29th, the yellow metal opened at $1,551… and closed the day at $1,604. It was one of the biggest single-day moves in gold history.
Yet this past Friday, [...]
A near-record single-day plunge in rates for Switzerland’s 2Y interest rate has driven it to a spectacular -43.1bps this morning. The German 2Y also has cracked to record low interest rates at -5.2bps. With Gold big over $1585 also, it seems the safety trade – or escape from risk as JPM exposes the reality of the world in which we live – is dramatically on.

#1 It took more than 200 years for the U.S. national debt to reach 1 trillion dollars. In 1986, the U.S. national debt reached 2 trillion dollars. In 1992, the U.S. national debt reached 4 trillion dollars. In 2005, the U.S. national debt doubled again and reached 8 trillion dollars. Now the U.S. national debt is about to cross the 16 trillion dollar mark. How long can this kind of [...]

First lady Michelle Obama Thursday offered a rare public reflection on her religious faith, telling a conference of the African Methodist Episcopal church that the life of Jesus Christ is a model for democratic organizing.
“It’s kind of like church,” Obama said. “Our faith journey isn’t just about showing up on Sunday for a good sermon and good music and a good meal. It’s about what [...]

When most people think of “Big Brother”, they think of the FBI, the CIA, the NSA, the Department of Homeland Security and other shadowy government agencies. Yes, they are definitely watching you, but so are many big corporations. In fact, there are some companies that are making tens of millions of dollars by gathering every shred of information about all of us that they can and selling it for [...]

A video of a bunch of verbally abusive middle school bullies making a 68 year old bus monitor cry has gone viral all over the Internet. This video is a perfect example of the social decay that is destroying this nation. We are raising a generation of young people that do not have respect for anyone or anything. In the video, 68 year old Karen Klein is repeatedly called poor, fat, [...]

Many people hype “the coming economic collapse” as if it is some kind of big summer Hollywood blockbuster. Many people out there write about it as if it is something that will happen in a single day or over a few weeks and that it will suddenly change how the entire world functions. But that is not how the financial world works. The financial world is like a game [...]

Political leaders in Athens were due to discuss an emergency government Wednesday to deal with a possible run on banks as it emerged Greeks withdrew almost $900 million in a single day, fearing their country could crash out of the euro currency by the end of the week.
An interim government would take the country through to new elections on June 17, triggered by the collapse on Tuesday of [...]
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Law enforcement and homeland security personnel face an average of 55 daily encounters with “known or suspected terrorists” named on government watchlists, officials told Reuters.
The figure – which equals more than 20,000 contacts per year – underscores the growing sweep of the watchlists, which have expanded significantly since a failed Christmas Day 2009 bombing attempt of a U.S. airliner. But officials note that very few of those [...]
President’s war address thanked US troops and outlined plans to end combat operations.
‘I will not keep Americans in harm’s way a single day longer than is absolutely required for our national security,’ said President Obama.
‘But we must finish the job we started in Afghanistan, and end this war responsibly,’ said Mr Obama.
Approximately 23,000 of the 88,000 US troops stationed in the country are expected to leave Afghanistan by the summer
