A Soros «Trojan Horse» inside the New Greek Government?  [[no importa de dónde viene el dinero, lo que importa es que el financista no tenga un milímetro de poder en la toma de decisiones políticas  internas. Soros es uno de los mas grandes bribones del fraude financiero, diríase, uno de los jefes de las mafias del vulture capital, del capital buitre, ese que compra deuda soberana para revenderla y endeudar mas a un país. A él no le importa el sufrimiento del pueblo. Busca acceso al poder político interno –soborna Gbnos y senados completos- y quien se lo otorgue, es tan corrupto como el]]

Los socialistas denuncian que el auge Podemos es un plan para dividir a la izquierda. [[la lucha es contra el imperio y sus tenazas FMI, NATO, EU, ICC.. es una lucha democrático-nacional y para que sea mas democrática depende de la unidad del pueblo. La lucha no es aun socialista, no es por la socialización de medios de producción. Recuerden lo que paso en Arg: los piqueteros tenían el control de las fábricas y no tenían ni capital ni Estado para impulsar una nueva economía. La lucha de Spain es por el derecho a la libre-auto-determinacion de los pueblos, y/o una  lucha por la toma del poder político si se logra unir a toda la nación mediante un Frente anti-imperialista. Mas tarde vendrá la lucha por la socialización y  las cooperativas auto-gestionarias, etc. Si hay socialistas sinceros en Spain, únanse a esa lucha y desde dentro avancen su programa de transición –si lo tienen- pero no dividan el mov popular porque no les gusta los líderes de PODEMOS. Eso sería traición al pueblo, no socialismo. Si solo hubo 3,000 en la marcha, lancen Uds una que sea de 300 mil. Y recuerden la experiencia de la NEP de Lenin, había necesidad de blindaje financiero a la Rev y el Estado en manos del Pueblo tomo ese dinero e impulso la socialización. Hay capital productivo honesto dentro y fuera de Spain y ellos también son excluidos por las grandes trasnacionales del fraude neoliberal, es con ellos que hay que unirse. Grecia va por buen camino si se une con Rusia y China. Lo mismo tendrá que hacer el pueblo español en el poder, si el frente antimperial  logra controlar el gobierno nacional o los Gbnos auto-nomicos en la fase democrático nacional. Impulsen su propuesta desde dentro y sin dividir]]

What Do They Know? Why Are So Many Of The Super Wealthy Preparing Bug Out Locations?. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/31/2015. A lot of ultra-rich people are quietly preparing to “bug out” when the time comes. They are buying survival properties, they are buying farms in far away countries and they are buying deep underground bunkers. In fact, a prominent insider at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland says that “very powerful people are telling us they’re scared." So what do they know?

Here's Some Frightening Honesty (Courtesy Of The US Congress). Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/31/2015. Quietly, and with essentially no coverage from the mainstream media, an obscure resolution (No. 41) was introduced in the US House of Representatives this week. The entire point of the resolution (The Federal Government should not bail out State and local government employee pension plans or other plans that provide post-employment benefits to State and local government retirees) is to say that the federal government is broke. It can’t pay its own bills, and therefore is shouldn’t be responsible to pay anyone else’s either. This Resolution is a pretty scary dose of honesty.

How "Unequal" Is Your State?. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/31/2015. This week's Economic Policy Institute's report, leverages the fashionable, French economist Piketty's statistics, in order to illustrate how well the "top 1%" are doing in each of the 50 states. The report is provokingly titled: "The Increasingly Unequal States of America". But the report creates distortions in the truth. An important matter affecting hundreds of millions should also include a straight acknowledgement of probability theory (involving large sample sizes). The most liberal people suggest that even thinking about this math is unnecessary. Perhaps any glorification of wrongs that need to be righted, justifies the means that it would take to get there. Over time this can conflate math ideas with one's ideological bias.

We Ignore Unintended Consequences At Our Peril. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/31/2015. The grand central banking experiment being conducted around the globe right now will not end well. With little more than a lever to ham-fistedly move interest rates, the central planners are trying to keep the world's debt-addiction well-fed while simultaneously kick-starting economic growth and managing the price levels of everything from stocks to housing to fine art. The complexity of the system, the questionable credentials of the decision-makers, and the universe's proclivity towards unintended consequences all combine to give great confidence that things will not play out in the way the Fed and its brethren are counting on.

Greek Social Contagion: Tens Of Thousands Rally In Support Of Spain's Anti-Austerity Podemos Party. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/31/2015. Less than a week ago we warned, "today Athens, tomorrow Madrid," and sure enough, emboldened by the success of Syriza in Greece, the people of Spain have turned out in their tens of thousands in Madrid at a demonstration called by the insurgent Spanish leftist party Podemos. As The Independent reports, Podemos, which means "we can", has surged into first place in opinion polls in the few months since it was set up in the summer of 2014. It is now ahead of the centre-right Popular Party and centre-left Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party in many opinion polls. Podemos’s policies include a universal basic income, increased democracy, crackdowns on tax avoidance, and increased public control over the economy. Most worrying for the status-quo huggers in Brussels, Podemos has also wants to reform the European Union, describing the current euro arrangement as a "trap."

Did The Federal Reserve Make A Major Math Error When Reporting Its December Gold Withdrawals? Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/31/2015. According to the NY Fed, 177 tons of gold have been withdawn from its vault in 2014; according to foreign central banks, at least 207 tons of gold were withdrawn from the NY Fed in 2014. Did a Fed intern make a very glaring math error or is something else going on?

"We Can't Do This Forever," Fed Admits "Market Will Overwhelm Us". Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/30/2015. "It may work out just fine, but there’s a risk to that strategy... we’re in some sense distorting what might be the normal market outcomes at some point, we’re going to have to stop doing it. At some point the pressure is going to be too great. The market forces are going to overwhelm us. We’re not going to be able to hold the line anymore. And then you get that rapid snapback in premiums as the market realizes that central banks can’t do this forever. And that’s going to cause volatility and disruption." - Charles Plosser

The Fed Is Now Frontrunning Value Investors. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/30/2015. The Fed has been supporting the market since the late 1980s. But there is an important difference between the actions of the Fed under Yellen versus Greenspan and Bernanke. In 2008, the Fed allowed Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers to fail. Given the massive wipeout that followed, this decision is now viewed as a dangerous mistake. Having learned their lesson, the Fed is now rushing in to support the market in response to even routine 20% drops. In this way, the Fed is acting like a value investor who demands a small margin of safety before investing.... Since 2010, however, the Fed has changed tactics. The Fed is now reacting far more quickly. Small market selloffs are followed by immediate responses. By quickly riding to the rescue, the Fed is effectively front-running value investors.

"Obama Is Clueless On Inequality," David Stockman Rages "The Problem Is [The Fed]". Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/30/2015. Echoing Elliott's Paul Singer's "greatest irony of politicians railing against inequality," former Reagan OMB Director David Stockman raged that when it comes to inequality, everyone can see the symptom, but "President Obama is clueless as to the cause," blasting that the problem is not capitalism, "the problem is in the Eccles Building and the 12 people sitting there thinking that zero interest rates are some magic elixir that will cause this very toubled economy to revive.! It won't, "these people are dangerous and destructive," Stockman exclaims, and sooner or later the inequality they have created is going to cause a huge political reaction.

The Death Of The American Dream In 22 Numbers. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/30/2015. For decades, the rest of the planet has regarded the United States as “the land of opportunity” where almost anyone can be successful if they are willing to work hard. The “American Dream” has been transformed into a very twisted game of musical chairs. With each passing year, more people are falling out of the middle class, and most of the rest are scrambling really hard to keep their own places. Something has gone horribly wrong... We are the generation that gets to witness the end of the American Dream.

How Do You Solve A Problem Like Syriza?. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/30/2015. Rather than be a problem, Syriza may well be a solution, if it plays its cards right, but that still leaves politicians and investors denominating Tsipras et al as a problem, if not a menace. The world’s major banks got rich off the back of the Greek population at large, and when their wagers got so absurd they collapsed, the banks saw to it that their losses were transferred to European -and American – taxpayers. And those taxpayers are now told to vent their anger at 'those cheating, lazy Greeks'. The Troika, the EU, the IMF, and the banks whose sock puppets they have chosen to be, are a predatory force that has come a long way towards wiping Greece off the map. And that’s what Syriza has set out to remediate. And for that, they deserve, and probably will need, our unmitigated support.  http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-01-30/how-do-you-solve-problem-syriza

"Looks Like I'll Be Able To Retire Comfortably At Age 91". Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/30/2015. You've probably seen articles and adverts discussing how much money you'll need to "retire comfortably." The trick of course is the definition of comfortable. The general idea of comfortable (as I understand it) appears to be an income which enables the retiree to enjoy leisurely vacations on cruise ships, own a well-appointed RV for tooling around the countryside, and spend as much time on the golf links as he/she might want. Needless to say, Social Security isn't going to fund a comfortable retirement, unless the definition is watching TV with an box of kibble to snack on. By this definition of retiring comfortably, I reckon I should be able to retire at age 91--assuming I can work another 30 years and the creek don't rise.

Brazil's Economy Is On The Verge Of Total Collapse. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/30/2015. Today's Brazilian economic data follows up quite well to our article from a month ago "Brazil's Economy Just Imploded" and as the earlier article on the crashing Brazilian Real hinted, things for the Brazilian economy how gone from imploding to, well, worse because not only did the twin fiscal and current account deficits rise even more, hitting a whopping 11% of GDP - the worst since August 1999, but its government debt soared to 63.4% in 2014, up from 56.7% a year ago, and the highest since at least 2006. In short - the entire economy is now on the verge of total collapse.

"First The Deflation - Then The Inflation". Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/30/2015. Again and again through history, first you have the massive deflation and then government is forced to debase the money supply that finally reverses the economy sending it into a inflationary spiral. The second phase is when gold will rise. But you first have the deflation (that we are seeing now) that reduces tax revenues and then you have the inflation set in motion by rising costs (waiting in the background).

Yes, energy giant Chevron just ended its buyback!

Greek Bond Yields Surge Above 19% After EU Talks. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/30/2015. Following finance minister Varoufakis' insistence that Greece will not accept more debt (or what EU calls a "bailout") and talks with the Eurogroup chief end, Greek bond yields have surged (and prices dropped) with 3Y GGBs back over 19% - the highest since the crisis. Greek bank stocks - after yesterday's exuberant penny stock squeeze - are falling once again.

Greece Slams EU Bailout-ers: "We Don't Want The $7 Billion, We Want To Rethink The Whole Program". Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/30/2015. UPDATE: "CONSTRUCTIVE TALKS" are over: VAROUFAKIS SAYS WILL NOT ACCEPT SELF-PERPETUATING CRISIS
As Eurogroup chief Jeroen Dijsselbloem (of "template" foot in mouth infamy) heads to Athens for talks today, Bloomberg reports the new Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis has a clear message for his European overlords of the past: “We don’t want the 7 billion euros...We want to sit down and rethink the whole program." While this exposes the nation's banking system to further runs, yesterday's revelation that Russia could step in with financing should they need it, leaves Dijsselbloem and Shulz with less and less leverage even as Spain's chief economic advisor warns, if Greece doesn't play along, "there will be problems on all fronts."
