Visualizing
Who Controls The World's Silver Supply?. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 02/25/2015.Within the Earth’s crust, there is 1 gram of silver for
every 12.5 tonnes of earth (27,600 lbs). This makes silver very difficult to
find. The total amount of silver
mined in global history is enough to create a 52m cube. So who controls that supply? http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-02-25/visualizing-who-controls-worlds-silver-supply.
[This is a very interesting report because it said :
a- that major world producers of silver are Mx & Peru. b- where this metal
exist, there is also gold and other precious metals. What this report
don’t say is that miner Co who got
millonaires extracting these metals is that they pay per silver while
extracting gold and they don’t even report other precious metas in these ores.
So these Co were and are stealing money from
poor countries. The worse, they did not say that these companies
poisoned rivers and see shores with lethal chemicals used to process these metals.
They caused many deaths and HR abuses against native population. Is the case of

Iran
Televises Major Naval Drill Against Fake US Aircraft Carrier In Persian Gulf. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 02/25/2015. Amid the to-ing and fro-ing of John Kerry and the
nuclear program negotiations, it seemed quite ironic that Iran would unleash a
major naval drill near the strategically vital entrance of the Persian Gulf. As
AP reports, more than a dozen swarming Iranian speedboats assaulted a
replica of a U.S. aircraft carrier, as the Guard's navy chief, Adm. Ali
Fadavi, who last month boasted that his force is capable of sinking American
aircraft carriers in the event of war, said on state television, "American
aircraft carriers are very big ammunition depots housing a lot of missiles,
rockets, torpedoes and everything else.". [Read
my comment above: Iran
can sink US carriers: Cmdr. This is not going to intimidate US neocons in power, it will
infuriate them to push for more sanctions & attacks on Iran. .. this is

After
Six Years In Office, Has Obama Seen "The Great Light"?. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 02/25/2015. No; Mr. Obama has not seen “the great light,” remaining
as blind in Middle East affairs as he has been in his belligerent, anti-Russia
approach in Eastern Europe. He, like Don Quixote, is still riding his
Rocinante as he charges the windmills. Saint Paul did see the great
light and is now known as Apostle of the Gentiles. As for Obama, given
his present lackluster status, it’s unlikely he will be politically canonized,
much less be known someday as Political Apostle of either Americans or
Non-Americans.
[En el sur
decimos que unos nacen con estrella o alumbrados por dios- y otros nacen estrellados
–jamás verán nada claro pues dios los abandonó. De acuerdo al cuento
religioso de que unos nacen con suerte y otros no, OB pertenece al montón de abandonados por Dios, a los que nacieron
estrellados. Yo no creo que eso le ocurrio a OB. Lo que creo es que OB no necesito de Dios ni sus estrellas. El construyo
su propia luz desde Chicago, en los tiempos en que estuvo vinculado a grass
root org y a teología de la liberación por su amistad con Jeremias Wright. Yo
creo que esa experiencia le sirvió a OB para ver claro el camino a la Presidencia del mas poderoso país del
mundo. No necesito de ninguna estrella del cielo que alumbre su camino, las
estrellas que alumbraron su camino vinieron de abajo, de las redes sociales con las que el mantuvo relacion y de la reflexión de la propia experiencia de lucha y del análisis del
contexto nacional.
Si OB llego al poder fue -1ro y sobre todo- porque existía caballo ensillado que el si supo
aprovechar, la tradición de lucha afro-americana que lidero Luther King, le sirvió
de base. Le fue fácil montarse en ese caballo ensillado pues el es de tes
negra, una raza humillada pero jamás vencida por los caucásicos neo-nazis del
KKK y su simpatizantes a lo largo y ancho del pais.
El 2do factor que explica su victoria es haber derrotado al establishment, empezando por el deep-state
que detrás de las cortinas y controla los dos partidos que se alternan en el
poder y evita que ningún “socialista” se cuele por las dos ventanas para
ingresar a la casa blanca, eso requería astucia. Y OB demostró ser suficientemente
hábil para mostrar al mundo que sin el no hay democracia en el país ni en sus satélites.
Indico claro que la nación tiene una deuda que pagar si realmente quiere
llamarse democracia. La deuda con los negros a quienes el representaba. El
contexto le ayudo: la democracia había sido
destruida por el guerrerismo estúpido de
los Bush y quien quiera que lidere el otro partido llegaba al poder. Y asi fue,
OB usó uno de los dos partidos que sirven para reciclar la dictadura de los
grandes banqueros, y corporaciones mafiosas que compran elecciones y con
el dinero de estos se filtró al palacio de Gobierno. Por supuesto que antes
tuvo que eliminar cualquier rastro que pudiese ligarlo al socialismo de Teología
de la Liberacion y rompió con Jeremias Wright.
El 3er factor fue el partido, esto es, capturar el Pdo demócrata. Esto
fue lo mas difícil para el, se trataba de vencer dentro del Pdo a la Pantera
Rosa, a Hillary Clinton, una mujer que con hidalguía supero el embate que su
marido y la nación entera sufrieron cuando este desecró la Presidencia y el
honor de su familia. Ella era la candidata favorita y fueron los negros y los
latinos quienes voltearon la tortilla a favor de Obama. Fue en esta contienda que
OB gano la Presid. Una vez instalado en ella, romper con la tradición anti-guerra
de Luther King le fue mas difícil, casi lo logra cuando se apropió de su
pacifismo en relación a los Panteras Negras (Black Panther) pero esto y el
aceptar el premio nobel de la paz se convirtieron en un boomerang que hasta
ahora amenazan con degollarlo al estilo
ISIL, aunque no con el sable de los de abajo, sino con el sable del Pdo
neo-nazi que el derroto dos veces en las elecciones pasadas. Era imposible
romper con la tradición guerrerista en la que se afirmaba la expansión imperial.
Obama decidió continuar la tradición imperial, traicionar a Luther King, a los
Sres del Premio Nobel y defender su propia vida, pues es lo que estaba en
riesgo si hacia lo que intento hacer Kennedy .
El 4to factor que explica su ascenso al poder es que el partido contendor
no existe como tal. Lo destruyeron los Bush, sobre todo el último, y los problemas
que Bush dejo, mientras existan y no se hayan solucionado, seguirán siendo
cuenta pendiente que definirá su derrota en futuras elecciones. Si ayer quien
ganaba las elecciones dentro del Pdo demócrata ganaba la presidencia, hoy quien
logre armar un FRENTE único por la reconstrucción del país (con radicales de
ambos Pdos y sobre todo con quienes están fuera de ambos dos) es quien podría ganar
no solo el senado, también disputar la Presidencia. En cualquier caso, quien
suba a la Presidencia, jamás tendrá el Senado consigo como lo tuvo Obama. Pudo
Obama haber usado ese poder para afirmar
una nueva línea en el Pdo demócrata y lo que hizo fue lo inverso, borro la frágil
línea que separa a ambos dos Pdos.
Desde entonces para adelante, ninguno de los dos partidos representara
jamas a la nación entera. Solo cuando esta nación se una en un FRENTE ÚNICO contra
ambos dos Pdos se podrá superar la crisis de legitmidad que deja Obama.
Mientras tanto, es el ausentismo lo que
dominara el escenario político y mientras el ausentismo gane las elecciones, tendremos
inestabilidad política pues cualquier Gobierno que llegue al poder será ilegitimo.
Esta será su crisis final, si antes no ocurre el separatismo de los Estados de
la Union Federal. ]]

Ukraine
Enters The Endgame. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 02/25/2015. Back in March 2014
we forecast that it in the aftermath of the US State Department-sponsored
military coup in Kiev, it was only a matter of time before Ukraine (all of its
sovereign gold having
since "vaporized") succumbed to full blown hyperinflation and
economic implosion. Less than a year later, precisely this outcome has finally
played out, and as a result, the entire nation has finally entered its economic
endgame, one which has two conclusion: either it joins Greece in becoming a ward
of Europe (of which it is not an official member) and the IMF (thank you Joe Q
Public taxpayer), or it quietly fades away into insolvent "failed
state" status.
[si un nuevo
bombardeo ocurre en el sur de Ukrania y el
ejercito de Kiev es barrido del mapa –los rusos dijeron que en un click podrian
hacerlo- estos 2 hechos podrían ser el inicio del WW3, si y solo si USA, u otro
aliado de NATO lanzan un proyectil nuclear a Rusia. Russia respondería con una 1ra
andanada de proyectiles nucleares hacia américa y hacia el país (s) que disparo
el 1er projectil (posible EU use Israel) que no dejaría capacidad de respuesta
que no sea la firma de la rendición. De no obtenerse la rendición en tiempo mínimo-menos
de 1 hora-, vendría la 2da andanada que haría innecesaria la rendición. No habría
quien la firme ni en EU y ni en el país provocador. Lo que vendría seria la escalada
internacional de la guerra y/o repartija de la América no tocada por las bombas,
y del país provocador. Es como imagino la secuencia de esta guerra , lo que también
podría ocurrir a la inversa. Si la guerra nuclear deviene multinacional, esta
no demoraría mas de 3 días, máximo 1 semana, suficiente como para que se borre
todo rastro de vida en el planeta.
Yo jamas quisiera que esto ocurra, pero es lo que podria ocurrir. Me preocupa esta realidad por que vivo en el US y con toda mi familia. Estamos alertas y nos da pena que mucha gente ni sepa lo que viene ocurriendo en el mundo. Nos han alimentado la idea de que somos super-poderosos, que somos excepcionales y que estamos sobre la ley.. que por tanto nadie nos podria tocar. Yo creo que eso es falso y que la unica forma de evitar la guerra es describiendo sus posibles efectos y denunciando a los guerreristas]

Doubts
(And Bond Yields) Are Rising Again In Greece. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 02/25/2015. If "everything is awesome" in Greece
(and Europe) then why - oh why - did Greek government bond yields surge higher
today, Greek stocks tumble, Greek bank stocks (and less so bonds) collapse, and
Greek CDS jump? It appears that as the euphoria relief wears off, as
WSJ reports, doubts over the willingness of Greece’s left-wing government to
follow its creditors’ orders on budget cuts and economic overhauls spilled into
the public today. IMF's Lagarde stated that the Greek proposal "is not
conveying clear enough assurances that the government intends to undertake the
reforms," and even Syriza officials admitted, "it is difficult
to determine how the government can fulfill its promises, including the debt
write-off, with this agreement,” as doubts arise across Europe's
policymakers and markets.

Putin
Slams Ukraine Decision To Cut-Off Gas To East As "Genocidal"
. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 02/25/2015. Ukrainian
authorities decision to halt gas supplies to Donetsk amid the ongoing
humanitarian catastrophe occurring there "bear the hallmarks of
genocide," blasted Russia's Vladimir Putin during an awkward press
conference with Cyprus' President Nicos Anastasiades (who he had just agreed
bilateral military and trade deals with). "Apparently, some responsible
leaders of the modern-day Ukraine are unable to understand the importance of
humanitarian issues," Sputnik News
reports Putin concluded. In an attempt to gain leverage and force Ukraine's
hand however, Russia's
Gazprom has indicated it intends to suspend gas deliveries to Ukraine (and
thus Europe via pipelines) unless Kiev makes a further prepayment.

The
Biggest Problem For Greece Isn't Debt: It's This. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 02/25/2015. "Greeks consider taxes as theft,"
which, among other things, explains, as
WSJ reports, at the end of 2014, Greeks owed their government about €76
billion in unpaid taxes accrued over decades; the government says only €9
billion of that can be recovered, with most of the rest lost to insolvency.
Syriza is now making tax collection a top priority among the measures promises
the new Troika, but as one government official warned, "the Greek
economy would collapse if the government were to force these people to pay
taxes." The bottom line is that "normally taxes are
considered the price you have to pay for a just state, but this is not accepted
by the Greek mentality," and perhaps with this latest round of deference
to the EU overlords, it is clear why...
[Of
course Greeks want to pay more taxes but not to feed vulture capitalists from
la troika. A nadie le gusta ni le gustaria
alimentar buitres y ese pueblo no quiere seguir alimentandolos.. a los de ola
troika]
