What
Ordinary Greeks Think Of Friday's Deal: "We Went Through Two Months Of
Agony To Realize We Are Still A Debt Colony". Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 02/21/2015. Some Greeks wondered what the government had
achieved. "We went through two months of agony, emptied the banks, to
realize we are still a debt colony," 54-year-old electrician Dimitris
Kanakis told Reuters. "The paymasters call the shots."...
Pensioner Paradisanos Rigas siad: "It looks to me that nothing has
changed. Later on they'll throw us some bones and say everything is fine.
Syriza will be saying we put up a fight, while the other side will be saying
you did nothing. And I think that it will be the same, just more of the same."

De-Dollarization:
Russia Ratifies $100 Billion BRICS Bank. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 02/21/2015. A BRICS Bank - as an IMF alternative and to
enable nations to become less dependent on the global reserve currency
- was
originally discussed at The BRICS Summit in 2012. Then at
the 2014 BRICS Summit, the framework for The BRICS Bank was approved as "a
system of measures that would help prevent the harassment of countries that
do not agree with some foreign policy decisions made by the United States and
their allies." Headquartered in Shanghai and chaired by Russia,
this week saw what appears to be the final step in the creation of BRICS New
Deverlopment Bank as RT reports, The Russian State Duma has ratified the $100
billion BRICS bank that’ll serve as a pool of money for infrastructure projects
in Russia, Brazil, India, China and South Africa. It is expected to start
fully functioning by the end of 2015. Isolated?

Hillary
Clinton Exposed: How She Aggressively Lobbied For Mega Corporations As
Secretary Of State. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 02/21/2015. "...those companies were among the many that
gave to the Clinton family’s global foundation set up by her husband, former
President Bill Clinton. At least 60 companies that lobbied the State
Department during her tenure donated a total of more than $26 million to the
Clinton Foundation, ...Mrs. Clinton’s connections to the companies don’t
end there. As secretary of state, she created 15 public-private partnerships
coordinated by the State Department, and at least 25 companies contributed
to those partnerships."

Greece:
The Facts Remain In A Game Of Theories. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 02/21/2015 "Are the playing cat and mouse?" Or,
"Is this some form of brilliant display of game theory that we mere
mortals can’t understand?" If it is borne out to be true that what
is being reported throughout many media channels is the fact that Greece has
indeed nearly forfeited all its positions in-turn for some changes in language
as to appear they have indeed stood up to their nemesis “and won” will not only
be disappointing, in our opinion it will embolden central bankers and
Keynesian devotees everywhere to view the monetary world with even more
self-aggrandized thoughts and actions.

What's
Next For Greece, The Euro, And Markets?. Submitted by Tyler

currency and capital markets.

USGS
Confirms Oklahoma Quakes Are Due To Fracking. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 02/21/2015. "...Large areas of the United States that
used to experience few or no earthquakes have, in recent years, experienced a
remarkable increase in earthquake activity.. This rise in seismic activity,
especially in the central United States, is not the result of natural
processes... Instead, the increased seismicity is due to fluid injection
associated with new technologies that enable the extraction of oil and gas from
previously unproductive reservoirs."

Peace?
Ukraine "Preparing For Full-Scale War" With Russia, Demands The West
Supply Lethal Weapons. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 02/21/2015. "We don't want to scare everybody, but we
are preparing for full-scale war," warns Vadym Prystaiko -
Ukraine's deputy foreign minister -
telling CBC during a stunning interview that "what we expect
from the world is that the world will stiffen up in the spine a little."
Deamnding that West provide 'lethal weapons' Prystaiko rages "everybody is
afraid of fighting with a nuclear state. We are not anymore." Coming just
a week after the Minsk Summit 'peace' deal and with Germany having warned they
are likely unable to stop arms being supplied to Ukraine, Prystaiko concludes,
"we would like [The West] to send lethal weapons to Ukraine... weapons to
allow us to defend ourselves."

Germany
Gives Greece Just Enough Rope: Varoufakis Says If Troika Rejects Reforms
"The Deal Is Dead And Buried". Submitted by Tyler Durden on 02/20/2015. Here is what
Schauble meant when he said that the "Greeks
Certainly Will Have A Difficult Time To Explain The Deal To Their Voters":
under the conditionality of the Troika's approval, the Tsipras government
now has to walk back essentially all the promises it made to the Greek people -
promises which by some accounts amount to over €20 billion in additional
spending - or the Troika, pardon Institutions, will yank the entire deal and the
Grexit can then commence. And that's the bottom line. It's also the reason
Schauble was gloating: because he gave the Greek government just enough rope
with which to hang itself.

The
"War On Terror" Turns Inward – DHS Report Warns Of Right Wing Terror
Threat. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 02/20/2015 And so it
begins... the intentional demonization of a growing segment of the U.S.
population that rightly believes the government is run by a collective of
thieving, corrupt, immoral sociopaths. Commingling dissent, violence and “right
wing” ideology will be key in the ultimate division of government critics in
these United States, and a successful attempt to scare people away from
questioning a clearly degraded and parasitic status quo.

Europe
"Isolates" Putin? Considers "Reframing" Energy Relations
With Russia. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 02/20/2015. It appears President Obama's "costs"
imposed on Russia have boomerang'd just too much for Europe to take.
As Reuters reports, The EU is seeking to create a single energy market,
based on cross-border connections to improve security of supply and reduce
dependence on Russia, which supplies roughly one third of EU energy. The
headline pivot away from Putin, likely misses the fact that there is
very little a stagnating Europe can do, even in the medium term, to 'reduce'
dependence on Washington's nemesis.
----
Are
You Ready For Total Currency War?. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 02/20/2015. Right now there is a world war taking place right
in front of us but all we see on cable news are the nightly military
skirmishes on the periphery of the conflict. The real war is economic,
financial and currency related and the empire is already over-extended in debt,
military operations and financial manipulation. Surely the near-term dollar
strength is evidence that while defeat is not imminent and that all markets can
be manipulated for a season, ultimately real global market forces will prevail.
Just remember that all empires eventually become over-extended
financially, economically or militarily and the consequences of retribution and
blowback are real and deadly to innocent populations.

The
Signals Are Clear. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 02/20/2015. The signals are clear: the world has
already entered a downturn in economic activity. Therefore we can expect
accelerated money-printing and the imposition of more negative interest rates
in a forlorn attempt to avert economic reality.

How
Greece Folded To Germany: The Complete Breakdown. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 02/20/2015. Having, as
we previously explained, been given 'just enough rope' by the Germans, we
thought it worth looking at just what Greece capitulated on (or perhaps
a shorter version - what they did not capitulate on) and how Tsipras and
Varoufakis will sell this to their fellow politicians... and most of all
people. [See my comment to “Germany
Gives Greece Just Enough Rope”, above]

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]

Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 02/20/2015 - 15:20
Why 4 and not 6 months? Simple: so that the humiliation of
the Syriza government can continue with yet another bailout, aka "current
programme", aka Memorandum extension request just ahead of the biggest
debt maturity for the remainder of 2015.

Full
Eurogroup Statement On Greece - Redline Comparison With Previously Rejected
StatementSubmitted by Tyler
Durden on 02/20/2015 – [HERE IT IS..
BACK IN MY PC]
Just out from the Eurogroup,
the final statement. Bottom line: Greece caves on pretty much
everything, however it has two semantics successes: the dreaded
"Troika" words has been replaced with "institutions" and
"Current programme" has been changed to "Current
arrangement" - surely nobody will notice. Sarcasm aside, Greece has
just kicked the can for four months. Why four months? Because that's just ahead
of the big Greek debt maturity.

The
330 Billion Reasons Why The Grexit "Can" Was Kicked Down The Road.
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 02/20/2015. Perhaps this
explained why Greece and The Eurogroup have (reportedly) come to an agreement
to avoid an actual Grexit for 4 months. As Die Welt explains that Euro-area
nations will face losses of up to EUR330bn as Greek outright government
debt, ECB capital needs, and TARGET2 liabilities have soared in the last 2
years since the crisis last erupted...

Ucrania: mejor la “solución belga”
que la “solución polaca”. Nazanin Armanian. Publico.es
El
conflicto, que ya se ha cobrado la vida de al menos 60.000 personas y ha
obligado a huir a cientos de miles, se ha enquistado. Los federalistas afines a
Rusia, a pesar de carecer de una estructura de mando político-militar
coordinada, van ganando posiciones al Gobierno de Kiev. La desastrosa situación
económica y la corrupción de un equipo disfuncional de dirigentes están entre
los factores que impiden que una institución prestamista como el FMI le
entregue al Ejecutivo de Petro Poroshenko los 17.000 millones de dólares
pactados en el Acuerdo Stand-By de abril del 2014, y eso a pesar de ser una
cantidad menor que el desembolsado para el “rescate” de Grecia y de España, y
que Ucrania sea más estratégica que dichos países.
