The New European 'Arc Of Instability'
By Pepe Escobar
December 13, 2014 "ICH" - "RT" - The European Council on Foreign Relations and Berlin think-tank Friedrich Ebert Stiftung have just reached more or less the same conclusion.
If the dangerous stand-off between the EU and Russia over Ukraine is not solved, the EU could face, up to 2030, a military build-up in eastern Europe; a new arms race with NATO as a protagonist; and a semi-permanent “zone of instability” from the Baltic to the Balkans and the Black Sea.
What these two think-tanks don’t – and won’t – ever acknowledge is that a new European “arc of instability” – from the Baltic to the Black Sea, as myself and other independent analysts have stressed – is exactly what the Empire of Chaos and its weaponized arm – NATO – are working on to prevent closer Eurasia integration.

LOL.......... some other guy wrote that. It wasn't me.
It takes maturity to admit you're wrong. Don't worry......my lips are sealed, lol. I've said this in the past.....Capitalism is a good system as long as it has bounderies. Can't have a game of marbles when one person owns them all. The game of Monopoly teaches us that at a young age, but somehow, the lesson doesn't sink in.
The parallels give it validity, imo. As Nottingham said, "for those of you that need verification". And at some point, we all look for that.
Joseph Stiglitz: Economics Has to Come to Terms With Wealth and Income Inequality

I think you posted the St. Thomas one? I started listening to it last nite. A little different kind of language, but I hear Krishnamurti, Castaneda, etc. The truth has been kept alive and it does require a little work on your part......unlike religions that tell you the way is to follow. Strange to believe that enlightenment occurs by walking in someone's footsteps.....ie: staring at their behind.
You may remember the story of how the devil and a friend of his were walking down the street, when they saw ahead of them a man stoop down and pick up something from the ground, look at it, and put it away in his pocket. The friend said to the devil, "What did that man pick up?" "He picked up a piece of Truth," said the devil. "That is a very bad business for you, then," said his friend. "Oh, not at all," the devil replied, "I am going to let him organize it."
I maintain that Truth is a pathless land, and you cannot approach it by any path whatsoever, by any religion, by any sect. That is my point of view, and I adhere to that absolutely and unconditionally. Truth, being limitless, unconditioned, unapproachable by any path whatsoever, cannot be organized; nor should any organization be formed to lead or to coerce people along any particular path. If you first understand that, then you will see how impossible it is to organize a belief. A belief is purely an individual matter, and you cannot and must not organize it. If you do, it becomes dead, crystallized; it becomes a creed, a sect, a religion, to be imposed on others. This is what everyone throughout the world is attempting to do. Truth is narrowed down and made a plaything for those who are weak, for those who are only momentarily discontented. Truth cannot be brought down, rather the individual must make the effort to ascend to it. You cannot bring the mountain-top to the valley. If you would attain to the mountain-top you must pass through the valley, climb the steeps, unafraid of the dangerous precipices..........Krishnamurti

Origins of Kabbalah
The Essenes may have been the group who actually were the original Christians. Many of the early Christian beliefs, the early church and so on parallel quite closely the presently published Qumran document (The Dead Sea Scrolls).
Yellen's Inflation Compensation And GLD
Dec. 31, 2014 1:56 PM ET |
The Fed is an important influencer of inflation, and for 2015, the Fed is ready to accept inflation as low as 1% and this will push down gold prices.

Gun Owners Who Were Shot by Their Own Dogs

2014 was a year of protest. People all around the world flooded the streets to protest police brutality, crime rates, inflation and shortages of basic goods. An image that connects these disparate demonstrations is the ubiquitous Guy Fawkes mask. Fawkes was best-known as a conspirator of the Gunpowder Plot, an attempt to blow up the House of Lords in London in 1605. Fawkes was hanged for high treason.
The mask gained popularity after the 2005 movie "V for Vendetta." Now the mask is a symbol of change by demonstrators. Let's take a look back at some of these demonstrations and where the Guy Fawkes mask was worn. (Yahoo News)
Magic Growth Numbers From The Government
By Paul Craig Roberts
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article40571.htm
December 28, 2014 "ICH" - Everyone wants good news, so the government makes it up. The latest fiction is that US real GDP grew 4.6% in the second quarter and 5% in the third.
Where did this growth come from?
Not from rising real consumer incomes.
Not from rising consumer credit.
Not from rising real retail sales.
Not from the housing sector.
Not from a trade surplus.

Central Banks Control The Futures Markets
December 22, 2014Financial Markets
The CME Group’s most recent 10-K filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) lists its customers. Included in that list are governments and central banks. This is really a sensational development. Nobody can trade against central banks, they create infinite money. If central banks are secretly trading in the futures markets, there are no markets. - Chris Powell, Treasurer of GATA from his interview with Greg Hunter
Thnx.....I'll check it out.
Have The Seeds Been Sown For WW3?
December 27, 2014Financial Markets
While geopolitical analysts are focused on the conflict between the U.S. and Russia in Ukraine and on the implications of the crash in the price of oil, the real conflict between Russia and the U.S. is over the petro-dollar. Russia has made it explicitly clear that it wants to the dismantle U.S. geopolitical hegemony by dismantling the petro-dollar (and China has made it implicitly clear, especially through its bi-lateral currency swaps to facility non-dollar trade).
All wars in history can ulitimately be traced to underlying economic issues. It’s all about money. First you get the money, then you get the power, the-e-e-n you get the women (“Scarface”). The war over the dollar as the world’s reserve currency is where the real action is taking place. I discuss this and some other issues in Part 1 of my podcast hosted by Rory Hall of TheDailyCoin.org:
