US suspends Constitution in permanent world war on terror
Two disturbing developments have occurred in the last couple of days that have gone relatively unnoticed compared to the recent IRS, AP, and Benghazi scandals.
First, the senate is debating an expansion of the already broad powers of the 2001 Authorization to Use Military Force (AUMF) so the U.S. can essentially engage any area in the world in the war on terror, including [...]
Father Of The Euro: “Italy Is Next After Cyprus”

Fleckenstein – Cyprus A Massive Train Wreck & Huge Catalyst
…It hasn’t really unraveled very far yet because the central bankers and governments of the world are getting away with what they are getting away with. It’s hard to argue that much confidence has been lost so far, but it will eventually because all of [...]
At ground zero in Hiroshima the inscription for victims of the world’s first Atomic bomb is a pledge. We will never again repeat the evil of war.
by Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, The Telegraph:
The Japanese original is vague on who “we” is, but the English translation tactfully refers to mankind as a whole.
Families come from all over Japan in a pilgrimage to visit the peace shrine. They look through the Cenotaph to the “A-Dome”, [...]
OLYMPIA, WASH. — If history is any judge, the U.S. government will be paying for the Iraq and Afghanistan wars for the next century.
At the 10th anniversary of the start of the Iraq war, more than $40 billion a year are going to compensate veterans and survivors from the Spanish-American War from 1898, World War I and II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the two Iraq campaigns and the Afghanistan [...]
Currency World War looms as Japan, China, US & Europe decline
Russia has warned a currency World War is looming for the global economy. The concerns were sparked by Japan’s move to lower the value of the yen in pursuit of better exports causing fears of a massive chain reaction as other nations do the same. RT’s Egor Piskunov reports.

The answer to that is yes! Here are three charts on Britain. Its debt soared with World War I, the cost of living became exceptionally high and foreign labor migrated to London making it the first city after Ancient Rome to reach a population of 1 million during the late 19th century. Labor migrated because wages were the highest among all leading cities in the world. This is why people [...]

Andy Haldane, the Bank’s executive director for financial stability, added that public anger at the banks was fully justified and that pay in the industry remained too high.
“In terms of the loss of incomes and outputs, this is as bad as a world war,” he said. “It would be astonishing if people weren’t asking big questions about where finance has gone wrong.
“If we are fortunate, the cost [...]

Massive Social Media War
Media watchdog organization Fairness and Accuracy In Reporting notes:
“The conventional corporate media timelines usually stress, whatever the facts, that Israel is responding to violent attacks by Palestinians.”
For example, the New York Times and other mainstream media claim Israel only responds after “persistent Palestinian rocket fire”, which is false. FAIR documented this occurring numerous times over the past decade.
(Of course, the media is always pro-war, always serves the powerful and real reporting [...]

(CNN) – The death toll in Syria hit 343 Wednesday, the highest daily toll since unrest broke out in March 2011, an opposition group said.
“The regime is escalating the violence at every possible opportunity and it is proof that it is determined to crush the revolution by any means necessary,” said Rafif Jouejati, a spokeswoman for the Local Coordination Committees of Syria.
“The staggering numbers are horrific but the world also needs [...]
Celente connects the dots between the financial implosion and a huge new war.
This is pretty f**king huge.

“I am concerned that when these countries engage in provocations of one kind or another over these various islands, that it raises the possibility that a misjudgment on one side or the other could result in violence, and could result in conflict,” Mr Panetta said, when asked about a clash between Japan and China.
“And that conflict would then have the potential of expanding.”

From Mao Money, Mao Problems:
If readers have the time, I highly encourage them to read a book written before 1970 about any financial crisis in history.
There are a lot of financial crises to choose from, and a few masterpieces written on them. A reader might be surprised that they are actually reading a narrative of the crisis they are currently experiencing.
Garet Garrett (not a typo) published a book in 1932 [...]

Almost three years ago I wrote an analytical piece on the concept of deliberately engineering wars, big and small, by elitists to distract the masses away from particular global developments that work to the benefit of the establishment power structure. That article was entitled ‘Will The Globalists Trigger Yet Another World War?’:
http://www.alt-market.com/neithercorp/press/2010/01/will-globalists-trigger-yet-another-world-war/
In that analysis, I concluded that since at least 2008, the power’s that be (whether posing [...]
My Macro view is this.
The big players in the game are the US,China,Russia,the EU all the other states are just proxies. All of them face some kind of major issue that threathens the status quo debt, oil shortgaes, threat to power. The end game will defintley be the resource war or resource race between these nations. All of these super states happen to be nuclear powers and all of them [...]

The whole world knows the name Gavrilo Princip, and that of the man he assassinated, Archduke Franz Ferdinand. Princip’s shot triggered the Austro-Hungarian invasion of Serbia that set in motion the chain of events leading to the Great War of 1914.
After Serbia appealed to Russia for help, Russia began moving towards mobilization of its army, believing that Germany was using the crisis as an excuse to launch war in [...]
President Vladimir Putin began his third mandate under the sign of sovereignty in the face of direct threats launched against the Russian Federation by the United States and NATO. Moscow has repeatedly denounced the expansion of NATO, the installation of military bases, the deployment of a missile shield on its borders, and the destruction of Libya and the destabilization of Syria.
In the days following his inauguration, Mr. Putin reviewed the [...]
The United States Congress is set to vote on legislation that authorizes the official start of World War 3.
The legislation authorizes the President of the United States to take unilateral military action against all nations, organizations, and persons, both domestically and abroad, who are alleged to be currently or who have in the past supported or engaged in hostilities or who have provided aid in support of hostilities against the [...]

“Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the capitalist system was to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens. By this method they not only confiscate, but they confiscate arbitrarily; and, while the process impoverishes many, it actually enriches some.”
John Maynard Keynes penned these [...]

War doesn’t determine who is right — only who is left. — Bertrand Russell
Is the world marching off to battle, Fellow Reckoner? If history is any guide, the answer would seem to be a categorical, “always.”
“US may have to strike Iran: Republican VP prospect” read a headline from the wires yesterday afternoon.
Apparently Marco Rubio, one of the contenders tipped to fill Romney’s presidential ticket, said a unilateral “military solution” from the [...]
From Bull Source:
Founder of the Trends Research Institute Gerald Celente discusses how conditions of this recession are similar to post-World War recessions.
… Celente points out that currency wars are already happening and trade wars are heating up. “Seven of the last recessions were preceded by spikes in oil prices,” he says. Celente believes a war with Iran would trigger the beginning of World War 3…
