ZERO HEDGE
"De-Dollarization"
Deepens: Russia Buys Most Gold In Six Months, Continues Selling US Treasuries
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/18/2015. The
rumors of Russia selling its gold reserves, it is now clear, were greatly
exaggerated as not only did Putin not sell, Russian gold reserves rose by
their largest amount in six months in December to just over $46 billion (near
the highest since April 2013). There is another trend that also continues
for the Russians - that of reducing their exposure to US Treasury debt.

Exter’s
Pyramid “In Play” (And Is Martin Armstrong Right?). Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/18/2015. John Exter (a former Fed
official, ironically) thought of the post-Bretton Woods financial system as an
inverted pyramid resting on its apex, emphasizing its inherent instability
compared with a pyramid resting on its base. Within the pyramid are layers
representing different asset classes, from the most risky at the top down to
the least risky at the bottom. He foresaw a situation where capital would
progressively flow from the top layers of the pyramid towards the bottom
layers. “…creditors in the debt pyramid will move down the pyramid out of
the most illiquid debtors at the top of the pyramid…Creditors will try to get
out of those weak debtors & go down the debt pyramid, to the very bottom."

Post: 5 Ways To Unf##k The World. Jim Quinn's Burning Platform blog. Submitted by Tyler Durden on
01/18/2015. 1.) Unf##k Yourself. “To be human is necessarily to be a vulnerable risk-taker; to be a
courageous human is to be good at it.” –Jonathan Lear. 2.) Learn the
Subtle Art of Not Giving a f##k. “Humanity has advanced, when it
has advanced, not because it has been sober, responsible and cautious, but
because it has been playful, rebellious, and immature.” –Tom Robbins. 3.)
Become a Well-Armed Lamb (Lion). “Democracy is two wolves and a
lamb deciding on what to eat for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting
the vote.” –Benjamin Franklin. 4.) Count Coup on Tyranny. “Government
is actually the worst failure of civilized man. There has never been a really
good one, and even those that are most tolerable are arbitrary, cruel, grasping
and unintelligent.” –H.L. Mencken. 5.) Fall in Love; Kick Ass; Repeat.
“Love does not imply pacifism.” –Derrick Jensen. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-01-18/guest-post-5-ways-unfk-world

Franc-ly
Speaking: What If It Were All A Set Up?. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 01/18/2015. Everyone loves a good conspiracy theory debate. Regardless
of whether you argue for it, or against, there are times when suddenly the
ramifications for plausible truth are realized that overshadow the conspiracy. This
is where the plot of truth can get far more sinister than the imagined
conspiracy ever could.

First
It Refused To Bail Out Its Insolvent Banks; Now Iceland Set To Officially
Withdraw European Union Application. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 01/18/2015. Iceland may be a small country, but when it comes to
dealing with big problems it is truly the modern equivalent of David in the
battle against the status quo Goliath. First, it was Iceland, and only Iceland,
refusing to bail out its banks, when every other western nation was being held
hostage by those who stood to lose the most from a financial collapse, and even
going so far as throwing some of its banking executives in prison. And now, as MBL
reports, Iceland's conservative Independence Party will support a
resolution in parliament to formally withdraw Iceland's application
to join the European Union.

Europe's
Scariest Chart Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 01/18/2015. as
KeepTalkingGreece reports, left-wing SYRIZA leads in all polls
published on Sunday newspapers with difference rate to Nea Dimokratia being
3.1% – 5%.
According to calculations, SYRIZA would get 144 seats in the
Parliament. That is 7 seats less than the 151 needed to form a majority
government.
* * *
Of course - Germany will reassure none of this matters (or does); but
with the SNB breaking Central Bank promises, and the possibility
of Draghi unveiling an 'anti-integration'-looking QE, we suspect injecting
even more uncertainty into the Euro project via Greece will do little to stall
EURUSD's collapse to parity.

The
State Of The Union: What We Know So Far. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 01/18/2015. "Why stand on formalities? Let's get the ball
rolling right now," Mr. Obama said at a recent stop in Tennessee. In
previous years, As Dow Jones reports, the content of the speech was a closely
guarded secret, leaving reporters, politicians, lobbyists and interest groups
scrambling for tidbits and gossip in the days and weeks leading up to the
event. But this year, much of Mr. Obama's policy wish list and broad themes
will be well-known when he walks onto the House floor next week. Here is
what the president is widely expected to focus on in his address next week...

The
Truth "Behind" The Charlie Hebdo Solidarity Photo-Op Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/17/2015. Glorious photo-ops of Merkel,
Hollande, Poroshenko, David Cameron (oh, and not Barack Obama) were smeared
across front pages hailing the "unity in outrage." However, as
appears to be the case in so many 'events' in the new normal managed thinking
in which we live, The Independent reports, French TV has exposed the reality of
the 'photo-op' seen-around-the-world: the 'dignitaries' were not in fact
"at" the Paris rallies but had the photo taken on an empty guarded
side street...

Central
Banks Upside Down Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/17/2015. the Swiss central bank said,
a few days before it did, that it wouldn’t. And then it did anyway. The
financial sectors’ trust in central banks is gone forever. And none too soon.
Now they’ll have to cover their own bets. If anything spells deflation, it’s
got to be that. But not even one man in a thousand understands what deflation
is.
