Supreme Court Rules Police Can Violate The 4th Amendment (If They Are Ignorant Of The Law). by Tyler Durden on 12/27/2014.  In a blow to the constitutional rights of citizens, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 8-1 in Heien v. State of North Carolina that police officers are permitted to violate American citizens’ Fourth Amendment rights if the violation results from a “reasonable” mistake about the law on the part of police.  By refusing to hold police accountable to knowing and abiding by the rule of law, the Supreme Court has given government officials a green light to routinely violate the law,”

The Keynesian End Game Crystalizes In Japan’s Monetary Madness, Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/27/2014. If the BOJ’s mad money printers were treated as monetary pariahs by the rest of the world, it would at least imply that a modicum of sanity remains on the planet. But just the opposite is the case. Establishment institutions like the IMF, the US treasury and the other major central banks urge them on, while the Keynesian arson squad led by Professor Krugman actually faults Japan for being too tepid with its “stimulus”. Now comes several new data points that absolutely confirm Japan is a financial mad house...

2014: The Year Propaganda Came Of Age, Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/27/2014 Joseph Goebbels had nothing on US and European media today.  That propaganda as a strategic and political instrument has been refined to a huge extent over the past 70-odd years since Goebbels first picked up on Freud’s lessons on how to influence the unconscious mind, and the ‘mass-mind’, as a way to ‘steer’ an entire people, not just as a means to make them buy detergent. These days, the media can make people believe just about anything, and they have the added benefit that they can pose as friends of the people, not the enemy. But there is a reason why such a large ‘industry’ has developed on the web with people writing articles that don’t say what the mass media say. That reason for is, obviously, first and foremost that not everybody believes whatever they are told. The problem is equally obvious: not nearly enough people are being reached to make a true difference, and to question the official narratives.

Holiday Hangover - UPS Expects 15% Surge In "Dirty Business" Of Xmas Gift Returns, Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/27/2014. As WSJ reports, more than 20% of returns happen during the holiday season - representing $60 billion in merchandise. While returns may be a boon for delivery companies, they are costly for retailers as returns, replacements and damaged goods represent about 10% of revenue. With return rates as high as 50%, one manager explains "'returns' is just a dirty business... Retailers are really losing their shirts on it."

"Blind Faith In Policymakers Remains A Bad Trade That's Widely Held", by Tyler Durden on 12/27/2014 Pressure builds everywhere we look. Not as a consequence of the Fed’s ineptitude (which is a constant in the equation, not a variable), but through the blind faith markets continue to place on the very low probability outcome – that everything will turn out well this time around."

"Hookers & Blow" Lift Britain Over France As World's 5th Largest Economy, by Tyler Durden on 12/27/2014. The Telegraph said Britain's acceleration was boosted by the inclusion of sex and drugs to UK growth (as part of new pan-European accounting standards). Official estimates show prostitution added about £5.7bn to the UK economy in 2013, while illegal drugs were worth about £6.62bn. One question - how did they estimate it?

Future Shock - The Unsustainable Often Ends Abruptly, Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/27/2014. Simply put: We've lived well beyond our economic, energetic and ecological budgets. It's time to change that. And you?  If you haven’t already, you need to begin to embrace the possibility that the road to the future will not be straight and smooth; it may take a few twists and turns and end up somewhere unexpected. You happen to be alive at one of the most interesting points in human history – a time when a great shift will occur.  This can be frightening or it can be exhilarating. And that choice is yours.

It's a great vehicle for introducing new eyes to this material. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-12-27/future-shock-unsustainable-often-ends-abruptly

Putin: It Is Time To Play Your Ace In The Hole, by Tyler Durden on 12/26/2014. The entire world is watching Putin play poker with the Western politicians lead by Obama and followed by Washington quislings in London, Brussels and Berlin. America's goal since the end of the Cold War has been to weaken by financial, economic and, if necessary, military means any real competition to its global financial and resource domination through the petrodollar and dollar world reserve currency status. We hope Putin realizes the US is not playing games here, as this is a financial and strategic game to the death for Washington and it's Western allies.
