Central banking has truly taken over the entire
planet. At this point, the only major nation on the globe that does not
have a central bank is North Korea. Yes, there are some small island
countries such as the Federated States
of Micronesia that do not have a central bank, but even if you count them,
more than 99.9% of the population of the world still lives in a country that
has a central bank. So how has this happened? How have we gotten
the entire planet to agree that central banking is the best system? Did
the people of the world willingly choose this? Of course not. To my
knowledge, there has never been a single vote where the people of a nation have
willingly chosen to establish a central bank. Instead, what has happened
is that central banks have been imposed
on all of us. All over the world, people have been told that monetary
issues are “too important” to be subject to politics, and that the only
solution is to have a group of unelected, unaccountable bankers control those
things for us. (Read More....)
Internet
buzz about a giant meteor that is going to strike our planet in September has
become so intense that NASA has been forced to issue a statement publicly
denying that it is going to happen. NASA insists that the agency knows of
“no asteroid or comet currently on a collision course with Earth”, and that “no
large object is likely to strike the Earth any time in the next several hundred
years”. To be honest, NASA should perhaps hold off on making such bold
statements concerning what will happen in the future considering the fact that
the Chelyabinsk meteor that exploded over Russia in
2013 took them totally by surprise. In any event, what we do know is that
our region of space is absolutely packed with meteors and asteroids. At
this point, approximately 10,000 major near earth objects have been discovered
by scientists, and about 10 percent of them are one
kilometer or larger in size. If any of those big ones were to hit us, we
would be looking at another Tunguska event or worse. Very large meteors
have struck our planet before, and they will hit us again. It is only a
matter of time. (Read More...)
If you were laid off from your
job, would you be willing to train your replacement if your company threatened
to take away your severance pay if you didn’t do it? And how would you
feel if your replacement came from India, and the only reason your company was
replacing you was because the foreign worker was a lot less expensive?
Sadly, this is happening all over America – especially in the information
technology field. Huge corporations such as Disney and Southern
California Edison are coldly firing existing tech workers and filling those
jobs with much cheaper foreign replacements. They are doing this by
blatantly abusing the H-1B temporary worker visa program. Workers that
had been doing a solid job for decades are being replaced without any
hesitation just because it will save those firms a little bit of money.
There is very, very little loyalty left in corporate America today. Even
if you have poured your heart and your soul into your company for years, that
ultimately means very little. The moment that your usefulness is over,
most firms will replace you in a heartbeat these days. (Read More....)
Most
Americans are deathly afraid to go to the hospital these days – and it is
because of the immense pain that it will cause to their wallets. If you
want to get on a path that will lead you to bankruptcy, just start going to the
hospital a lot. In America today, hospitals and doctors are blatantly
ripping us off and they aren’t making any apologies for it. As you will
read about below, some hospitals mark up treatments by 1,000 percent. In
other instances, basic medical supplies are being billed out at hundreds of
times what they cost providers. For example, it has been reported that
some hospitals are charging up to 30 dollars for a single
aspirin pill. It would be difficult to argue that the extreme greed that
we see in the medical system is even matched by the crooks on Wall
Street. These medical predators get their hands on us when we are at our
most vulnerable. They know that in our lowest moments we are willing to
pay just about anything to get better or to make the pain go away. And so
they very quietly have us sign a bunch of forms without ever telling us how
much everything is going to cost. Eventually when the bills come in the
mail, it is too late to do anything about it. (Read More....)
Is
something really big about to happen? For months, people have been
pointing to the second half of this year for various reasons. For some,
the major concern is Jade Helm and the unprecedented movement of military
vehicles and equipment that we have been witnessing all over the nation.
For others, the upcoming fourth blood moon and the end of the Shemitah cycle
are extremely significant events. Yet others are most concerned about
political developments in Washington D.C. and at the United Nations. To
me, it does seem rather remarkable that we are seeing such a confluence of
economic, political and spiritual events coming together during the second half
of 2015. So is all of this leading up to something? Is our world
about to change in a fundamental way? Only time will tell. The
following are 7 key events that are going to happen by the end of September… (Read More...)
When
you want to discover what an organization is really all about, it is important
to dig down to the roots. And when you uncover the roots of the
Bilderberg Group, you find some very unsettling things. It turns out that
the Bilderberg Group has had Nazi connections from the very beginning, and it
continues to advance the agenda of the Nazis to this very day. This year,
the Bilderberg Group is meeting from June 11th to June 14th at the Interalpen
Hotel which is near the city of Telfs, Austria. This organization has so
much power that even several days before the event police are keeping everyone
(including reporters) 10 kilometers away
from the hotel. If this is just a group of private citizens getting
together to chat about world issues, why all the security? What is so
special about this group of people that rates such extraordinary
measures? And why are they so bound and determined to keep all of the
rest of us away from them? (Read More...)
Does
the Army expect that there will soon be “disaster stricken” areas all over the
country? As you will see in this article, a job advertisement has been
posted on a federal website seeking workers that “will provide emergency support to disaster
stricken areas throughout the US“. This was originally reported
by Shepard Ambellas
of Intellihub, but it is not receiving nearly as much attention as it
perhaps should. What parts of the nation does the U.S. Army believe will
soon be “disaster stricken”? By itself, this job ad wouldn’t be raising
that many eyebrows, but when you combine this with the unusual number of
“military training exercises” that are taking place all around the country and
with the very strange movements of military equipment that have been reported recently,
it gives the appearance that the U.S. military is feverishly making
preparations for something
big. (Read More...)
Did you
know that 25 percent of all egg production in the United States has already
been taken offline due to the bird flu crisis? You aren’t hearing much
about this in the mainstream media, but at this point bird flu has claimed the
lives of 45 million chickens and
turkeys in America. When I wrote about this a month ago, the number of dead birds
was sitting at about 20 million. In just 30 days, the
death toll has risen by an astounding 20 million. This is a major crisis
and it is already causing egg shortages around the country, and yet very few
people seem alarmed about this? Why is that? (Read More...)
At the age of
65, Caitlyn Jenner has become far more famous than Olympic athlete Bruce Jenner
ever was. She is the most high-profile American to ever identify as
transgender, and right now she is getting a global tsunami of media attention –
most of it extraordinarily positive. When Caitlyn’s Vanity Fair cover was released on Monday, it
was front page news for almost every major news source in the western
world. But it isn’t just the media that is fawning over her. Within
just a few hours, Caitlyn Jenner received more than 100,000 likes on
a brand new Facebook page that she set up for her new identity. On
Twitter, the euphoria was even greater. Within fours hours and three
minutes of setting up her new Twitter account, she had a million followers.
That beat the official world record that had previously been held by Barack
Obama. As I write this, she now has more than 2.2 million
followers. So precisely why has Caitlyn Jenner become such an overnight
sensation, and could it be possible that she is now the most popular woman in
America? (Read More...)
There
has been a lot of talk about things that are going to happen in September, but
something that has been almost totally overlooked is the fact that the UN
Security Council is likely to be voting on a UN resolution which will establish
a Palestinian state at that time. Right now, France is working on a
proposed resolution which would give formal UN Security Council recognition to
the Palestinians, would declare that a divided Jerusalem is the capital of both
Israel and a Palestinian state, and would set the 1967 borders as the baseline
for future negotiations which would establish the final borders between the two
nations. It is being reported that France will submit this resolution for
a vote after the 70th session of the UN General Assembly begins on the 15th of
September. At this moment, 136 nations have already recognized a Palestinian
state, but the United States has always blocked recognition by the UN Security
Council. This time may be different though, because there are quite a few
indications that Barack Obama actually plans to back the French resolution in
September. If that happens, and the UN Security Council approves this
resolution, it is going to have enormous implications for all of us. (Read More...)
According
to Gallup, America is now fatter than it
has ever been before. But how can this possibly be? After all,
Americans spend an astounding 60 billion dollars a year
on weight loss programs and products. After putting so much time, effort
and energy into losing weight, shouldn’t we be some of the healthiest people on
the entire planet? Sadly, the truth is that obesity has become a national
epidemic, and we are known around the globe for our huge size. The term
“fat Americans” has become synonymous with overweight tourists, and other
cultures mock us for our apparent sloth. But could there be more to this
than just the fact that we eat too much? Could it be possible that we
have been fattened up by design? (Read More...)
Hollywood
has a long history of inserting political messages, social commentaries,
subliminal effects and even cryptic warnings about the future into big budget
films. So is someone attempting to use “San Andreas” to tell us
something? For many years, doomsayers have been warning that the “Big
One” is going to come along and rip the coastline of California to
shreds. Up until this moment, it hasn’t happened, but without a doubt we
have moved into a time of increased geological activity all over the
globe. As you read this article, 42 volcanoes around the planet are currently
erupting. That means that the number of volcanoes erupting right now is
greater than the 20th century’s average for an entire year. In
addition, we have been witnessing a great deal of very unusual earthquake activity
lately. Just in the United States, we have seen unusual earthquakes hit
Michigan, Texas, Mississippi, California, Idaho And Washington within the
last month or so. Could it be possible that our planet has entered a
period of heightened seismic activity? And could it also be possible that
someone behind “San Andreas” is aware of this and is trying to warn us about
what is coming in our future? (Read More...)
The
thin veneer of civilization that we all take for granted on a daily basis is
beginning to disappear, and a new era of chaos and anarchy is coming to our
cities. I don’t know if you have noticed, but violence is increasing on
the streets of America. Over Memorial Day weekend, 29 people were shot in
Baltimore and 55 people were shot in Chicago. But of course the trend
that I am talking about is much broader than that. According to the FBI,
the number of police officers “feloniously killed” in the line of duty rose by
an astounding 89 percent in 2014. We live at a
time when Americans are becoming extremely angry and extremely frustrated, and
this is only going to intensify as economic conditions worsen. But
already we have seen some of this anger and frustration boil over into violence
in Ferguson and in Baltimore. And you know what? The vast majority
of Americans expect more of the same in the coming months. According to a
Wall Street Journal/NBC News survey that was recently released, 96 percent of all Americans believe that
there will be more civil unrest in America this summer. What we have seen
up until now is just the warm up act. The main event is still to come. (Read More...)
If
there is one thing that the elite of the world fear more than anything else, it
is death. They spend an extraordinary amount of time and energy attempting
to shield themselves from potential threats, to separate themselves from the
general population and to do whatever they can to extend their lifespans.
They travel with multiple bodyguards, they install “safe rooms” in their homes,
they buy private islands on the other side of the world and they invest huge
amounts of money into life extension technologies and research. They do
all of these things in a desperate attempt to battle an enemy that they have
never been able to defeat – death. And in this day and age, the elite are
becoming more paranoid than ever. They know that as the gap between the
wealthy and the poor has exploded that they have become bigger targets than
ever. So firms that provide private security, “safe rooms” and high tech
“security bunkers” for the elite are doing a booming business these days.
Many of the elite live in constant fear and absolutely crave security, and they
are willing to pay big bucks to get it. (Read More...)
A
horse named “American Pharoah” just won the Triple Crown.
Is this some sort of a sign for America? The office of the presidency was
greatly strengthened under previous administrations, but now Barack Obama has grabbed
an unprecedented amount of power for himself. In this article, I am going
to focus on immigration, but Obama’s power grab is certainly not limited to
this area. And as I have written about previously, if there is some sort of major “national
emergency” over the next year or so, the legal framework has already been
created for Obama to use his “emergency powers” to take total control of
virtually everything.
So is comparing Obama to the pharoahs of ancient Egypt unfair? I don’t
think so at all. He is certainly acting as if he would like the powers of
a dictator, his policies in the Middle East would make the pharoahs
proud, and without a doubt Obama loves the adoration and worship of his
fans. In my opinion, he is the closest thing to a pharoah that the United
States has ever seen. (Read More....)

Are
they expecting something to happen? As you will read about below, the
European Union says that any nation within the EU that does not enact “bail-in”
legislation within the next two months will face legal action. The
countries that are being threatened in this manner include Italy and
France. If you fast forward two months from this moment, that puts us in
early August. So clearly the European Union wants everything to be
squared away by the end of the summer. Is there a reason for this?
Are they anticipating that something really bad will happen in September or
thereafter? Why such a rush? (Read More....)
Every
great con game eventually comes to an end. For years, global central
banks have been manipulating the financial marketplace with their monetary
voodoo. Somehow, they have convinced investors around the world to invest
tens of trillions of dollars into
bonds that provide a return that is way under the real
rate of inflation. For quite a long time I have been insisting that
this is highly irrational. Why would any rational investor want to put
money into investments that
will make them poorer on a purchasing power basis in the long
run? And when any central bank initiates a policy of “quantitative
easing”, any rational investor should immediately start demanding a higher rate
of return on the bonds of that nation. Creating money out of thin air and
pumping into the financial system devalues all existing money and creates
inflation. Therefore, rational investors should respond by driving
interest rates up. Instead, central banks told everyone that interest
rates would be forced down, and that is precisely what happened. But now things
have shifted. Investors are starting to behave more rationally and the
central banks are starting to lose control of the financial markets, and that is a
very bad sign for the rest of 2015. (Read More....)
Is
the financial collapse that so many are expecting in the second half of 2015
already starting? Many have believed that we would see bonds crash before
the stock market crashes, and that is precisely what is happening right
now. Since mid-April, the yield on 10 year German bonds has shot up from
0.05 percent to 0.89 percent. But much of that jump has come this
week. Just a couple of days ago, the yield on 10 year German bonds was
sitting at just 0.54 percent. And it isn’t just Germany – bond yields are
going crazy all over Europe. So far, it is being estimated that global
investors have lost more than
half a trillion dollars, and there is much more room for these
bonds to fall. In the end, the overall losses could be well into the trillions
even before the stock market collapses. (Read More....)
If
we are not heading into a recession, why does our economy continue to act as if
that is precisely what is happening? As you will see below, we learned
this week that factory orders have declined year over year for six months in a row.
That is something that has never
happened outside of a time of recession. We have also
seen new orders for consumer goods fall dramatically. In fact, the only
time we have seen a more dramatic decline in that number was during the last
recession. And when you add these two items to what I have written about
previously, the overall economic picture becomes even more disturbing.
Corporate profits have fallen for two quarters in a row, our exports
fell by 7.6 percent during the first quarter of 2015, and U.S.
GDP contracted by 0.7 percent during Q1. Even though Barack
Obama and the mainstream media are willingly ignoring them, the truth is that
these numbers are absolutely screaming that we are going into a new recession. (Read More....)
Are
stocks overvalued? By just about any measure that you could possibly
name, stocks are at historically high prices right now. From a technical
standpoint, the stock market is more overvalued today than it was just prior to
the last financial crisis. The only two moments in U.S. history that even
compare to our current state of affairs are the run up to the stock market
crash of 1929 and the peak of the hysteria just before the dotcom bubble
burst. It is so obvious that stocks are in a bubble that even Janet Yellen has talked
about it, but of course she will never admit that the Federal Reserve has
played a key role in creating this bubble. They say that hindsight is
20/20, but what is happening right in front of our eyes in 2015 is so obvious
that everyone should be able to see it. Just like with all other
financial bubbles throughout our history, someday people will look back and
talk about how stupid we all were. (Read More....)
On
Friday, the federal government announced that the U.S. economy contracted at a
0.7 percent annual rate during the first quarter of 2015. This unexpected
shrinking of the economy is being primarily blamed on “harsh” weather during
the first three months of this year and on the strengthening of the U.S.
dollar. Most economists are confident that U.S. GDP will rebound back
into positive territory when the numbers for the second quarter come out, but
if that does not happen we will officially meet the government’s criteria for
being in another “recession”. To make sure that the numbers for Q2 will
look “acceptable”, the Bureau of Economic Analysis is
about to change the way that it calculates GDP again. They are just
going to keep “seasonally adjusting” the numbers until they get what they
want. At this point, the government numbers are so full of “assumptions”
and “estimates” that they don’t really bear much resemblance to reality anyway.
In fact, John Williams of
shadowstats.com has calculated that if the government was actually using
honest numbers that they would show that we have continually been in a
recession since 2005. That is why I am referring to this as a “recession
within a recession”. Most people can look around and see that economic
conditions for most Americans are not good, and now they are about to get even
worse. (Read More....)
Did
you really think that Baltimore would return to normal after everything that
has happened? On Thursday, a mother and her 7-year-old son were both shot
in the head in a double murder that has shocked the entire nation. Police
believe that the son may have been shot in order to prevent him from
identifying the individual that shot his mother. So is this what America
is turning into? A place where 7-year-old kids are executed in cold
blood? That mother and son were the 37th and 38th murder victims in the
city of Baltimore so far this month. That makes this the deadliest month
in Baltimore in 15 years, but because of all the controversy surrounding the
death of Freddie Gray, police in Baltimore are afraid to do their jobs at this
point. In some areas of the city, young men boldly smoke weed in public
and wave guns around at innocent bystanders without any worry that police will
intervene. Baltimore has descended into a state of lawlessness, and this
is just the beginning. As I discussed just the other day, the same
kind of lawlessness will soon sweep all across this country. (Read More....)
