Why
The "1%" Hates The Gold Standard. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 02/20/2015. The following chart should clarify just why to the
"1%", including their protectors in the "developed
market" central banking system, their tenured economist lackeys, their
purchased politicians and their captured media outlets, the topic of a return
to a gold standard is the biggest threat conceivable. [why? because the “American” gold belong to
private FED Bankers.. and they don’t want to risk “their” gold by backing the
USD… that gold should be nationalized, it belong to the whole nation]

Beppe
Grillo: "The Eurozone Chess Game Enters Its Final Stage: Germany Wins In
Three Moves". Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 02/20/2015. "The Eurozone chess game has entered its third
and final stage. Germany wins in three moves - Euro, deflation and purchase of
public debt by the ECB (QE) – and in the last few years it has found a way to
maximise its profits and reduce to zero its risks as Europe’s creditor.... If
we wait too long before leaving the Euro, then Germany will get checkmate and
after cashing in all the benefits of our entry into the Euro, it will also cash
in on the benefits of our exit.". [In chess there
are more than 3 usual options: set the defense, control the middle and attack –squeeze
the neck of the opposite king to death- we are seeing now that the control of
the whole table is the key..and most of Eurozone moves have being blocked at
macro level. Germany can succeed only by
giving up the King, the financial oligarchy of the eurosone]

It
Begins: Goldman Cuts Q1 GDP Due To Snow. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 02/20/2015. "We
think that negative snowstorm effects could potentially subtract as much as
half a percentage point from Q1 growth compared with a neutral baseline,
although there is still plenty of time for activity to bounce back within the
quarter. In light of our analysis, we reduced our Q1 GDP tracking estimate by
two-tenths to +2.8%." -

Greek
Deal "Unlikely" Friday Night, EU Official. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 02/20/2015. While markets remain in "well it is Europe and
it's OPEX so BTFD" mode, entirely ignorant of what Goldman describes as
the risk of a systemic shock, the EU-Greece negotiations continue... to
go badly. As Bloomberg reports:
*EU OFFICIAL SAYS GREECE DEAL FRIDAY NIGHT LOOKING
UNLIKELY
In fact, the official dropped his expectations so low as to
say "it is possible that they could agree on progress." Which
at least is one better than the no-progress meeting last week.

German-Led
Block Willing To Let Greece Leave Euro, ECB Prepares For Grexit. Submitted
by Tyler Durden on 02/20/2015. This is what peak
bluffing looks like. Moments after there was much hope for a deal,
suddenly ze Germans yanked the carpet from under any potential leverage Greece
may have though it had when the Maltese foreign minister said:
- GERMAN-LED BLOC WILLING TO LET GREECE LEAVE EURO, SCICLUNA SAYS
- "I think they’ve now reached a point where they will tell Greece if you really want to leave, leave"
This in turns follows minutes after a Spigel
article said that the ECB prepares for Greek euro exit.
