Doomsday
Clock Set at 3 Minutes to Midnight. Experts on the board said they felt a sense of
urgency this year because of the world's ongoing addiction to fossil fuels,
procrastination with enacting laws to cut greenhouse gas emissions and slow
efforts to get rid of nuclear
weapons.
"We are not saying it is too late to take action but
the window for action is closing rapidly," Kennette Benedict, executive
director of The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, said in a news conference
this morning in Washington, D.C. "We move the clock hand today to inspire
action.".

ZERO HEDGE
The
Saudi Succession: Its Impact On Oil, Markets And Politics. Submitted
by Tyler Durden
on 01/22/2015. Saudi succession fight which impacts everything from oil, to
markets to geopolitics, especially in the aftermath of the dramatic political
coup in neighboring Yemen. As a reminder, it is Saudi Arabia whose insistence
on not cutting oil production with the intent of hobbling the US shale industry
has led to the splinter of OPEC, and to a Brent price south of $50.

Saudi
King Abdullah Has Died; Crude Prices Jump. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 01/22/2015. As

Crown Prince Salman has been named succesor (and has his own health issues
- reportedly suffering from Dementia). Oil prices popped around 80c
on the news. [so, un demente va a reemplazar al bruto..

The
US Cannot Afford To Be The World's Police. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 01/22/2015. All great empires were befallen by the inability of
resources to keep up with ambition. From Alexander the Great to Rome to the
great British Empire, hegemony doesn’t last forever. The U.S. government
guarantees security to over 35 countries and has troops stationed in over 146
countries. Does such an astounding presence – completely unmatched by
previous empires – really sound all that sensible?

Now
Begins The Greatest Heist Since Bernanke Bailed Out Wall Street In September
2008. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/22/2015. There is
virtually nothing which is on the level in today’s financial markets. According
to the Fed’s PR firm, Hilsenramp & Blackstone, one quarter of the $7
trillion in bonds issued by euro zone government are trading at negative
yields. [Meaning..] a state drifting toward insolvency and/or ruinous
taxation should be able to borrow 10-year money at 0.70%. That is, when the
fix is in, the central bank printing press is open to buy, the apparatchiks are
terrified and one of history’s greatest monetary charlatans is in charge
- the speculators have nothing to do but harvest their haul. So now
begins the greatest heist since Bernanke bailed out Wall Street in September
2008. [[ Printing money
create deflation, stagnation and high levels of volatility. But no printing
creates more trouble starting with absorbing their QEs effects and subordination
to their policies including the piracy and economic terrorism or ec-sanctions.
So I wonder what if .. what would happens if
RU-Chi- Brics + Iran and members of BRICS -India- + the Changai web, what if all of them –plus Japan if wanted- create and print a
single currency worldwide for trade & bank deposits and started with a massive QE –the freedom money-
to dethrone dollars & euros at world level?. Is that possible in the
nearest future? If so, the IMF will decompose faster than king Abdullah]]

When
This Ends, Everybody Gets Hurt (And The End Is Uncomfortably Close). Submitted
by Tyler Durden on 01/22/2015. Central bank
credibility (as fictitious as that may be) is essential to maintaining the
current narrative, BUT central banks are rapidly losing their credibility
(which should have happened simply via deductive reasoning a long time ago) and
the strains are showing. When credibility in central bank omnipotence
snaps, buckle up. Risk will get re-priced, markets will fall apart, losses will
mount, and politicians will seek someone (anyone, dear God, but them) to blame.

The
Truth About The Monetary Stimulus Illusion. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 01/22/2015. While economic policymakers should take a closer look

monetary stimulus and the dangerous nature of financial bubbles; sadly, the discussion
is happening too late to be anything more than an intellectual exercise.

Do
We Want Solutions, Or Just What's Easy?. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 01/22/2015. We are so brainwashed by centralized models of
state authority that few can even imagine a system where the solution is not
one centralized monstrosity ruled by a political/financial Aristocracy.
A good first step would be to admit to ourselves that we don't really want
solutions; what we want is magic: financial magic that makes
healthcare free and affordable, medical magic that fixes all our lifestyle ills
without forcing any rigorous adult routines and limits on us, political magic
that transforms our system from its current corrupt crony-capitalist paradise
into a functioning, transparent democracy and economic magic that makes all the
unpayable debt vanish so we can borrow another $50 trillion, or $100 trillion,
with no restraints on our spending or cronyist corruption. We have no idea what
it will take to jolt us from our preference for magic over realistic, difficult
(i.e. adult) solutions, but we suspect a crisis that threatens to completely
unravel the Status Quo will be part of the process.

"If
You Question Authority, You Are Mentally Ill", Report Finds. Submitted
by Tyler Durden on 01/21/2015. The
psychopathologizing of anti-authoritarian behavior is yet another step on
what looks like an increasingly slippery slope and it strikes us as especially
harmful. The American Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM for short) defined a new mental illness, the so-called “oppositional
defiant disorder” or ODD. In short, as Natural News put it: According
to US psychiatrists, only the sheeple are sane.
