Are Greek Capital Controls Now Inevitable?. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/17/2015. Is Greece truly on the verge of capital controls, especially the kind that has the blessing of the very man who created the Cyprus "blueprint"? For the answer we go to ISI, which discussed just that in a flash note issued earlier today:

The chair of the Eurogroup Jeroen Dijsselbloem became the first European Union official to suggest the possibility of capital controls to prevent Greece leaving the euro, which in turn drew a furious reaction from Athens, which accused him of "blackmail."

In Athens, the insolvent but proud government issued an angry reply: cited by Kathimerini, spokesman Gavriil Sakellaridis said "It would be useful for everyone and for Mr Dijsselbloem to respect his institutional role in the eurozone. We cannot easily understand the reasons that pushed him to make statements that are not fitting to the role he has been entrusted with. Everything else is a fantasy scenario. We find it superfluous to remind him that Greece will not be blackmailed."
Moreover if capital controls were imposed as a product of a stand-off between Greece and its creditors rather than in the context of agreement as to the way forward (as ultimately in Cyprus), Greek politics could lurch towards the need for a parallel / substitute currency rather than as hoped towards commitment to the euro at all costs.

Raising the prospect of capital controls does pile the pressure on Greece and may ultimately be part of the forcing mechanism that delivers implementation and funding. But this is playing with fire. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-03-17/are-greek-capital-controls-now-inevitable

The End Is Kind Of Nigh. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/17/2015. All Good Things Must End... this may not be the end of the world exactly. But the end of the fiat money system President Nixon gave birth to in 1971... when he cut the dollar loose from gold. And it may feel like the end of the world, because of the social chaos it will provoke.

It's Official: Americans R Stupid. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/17/2015. As Americans, we tend to be pretty full of ourselves, and this is especially true of our young people.  But do we really have reason for such pride?  According to a shocking new report from the Educational Testing Service, Americans between the ages of 20 and 34 are way behind young adults in other industrialized nations when it comes to literacy, mathematics and technological proficiency.  Even though more Americans than ever are going to college, we continue to fall farther and farther behind intellectually.  So what does this say about us?  Sadly, the truth is that Americans are stupid.

Syria Shoots Down US Drone. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/17/2015. Perhaps it is purely a coincidence that on the day in which the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (which as profiled earlier is anything but) released several new YouTube clips "confirming" a poison gas chemcial attack by the Assad army had killed 6 people in the country, that several hours later a US drone was shot down by the Syrian military according to CNN, which cites Syria's state-run news agency reported Tuesday. Then again, perhaps not.

Australia and Canada will have a bit of rough patch in the years to come, but will manage through as they always do.

With 45 Beheadings In 2015 – "US Ally" Saudi Arabia Set To Top 2014's Record Decapitation Level. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/17/2015. In the past month, a group of radical Islamic extremists based in the Middle East beheaded at least 23 people and enforced a ban on Christianity by arresting a group of people for practicing the faith in a private home.
No, we're not talking about ISIS. The real culprit is the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, one of the America’s closest global allies. It would appear, some human rights are more equal than others.

Moscow Launches Ruble-Renminbi Futures To "Facilitate Trade Between China And Russia". Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/17/2015. While the west huffs and puffs, and threatens to unleash even more "costs" on Russia in the form of additional sanctions which will assure that Europe's latest deflationary recession is even more acute, an "isolated" Russia is looking to outside, and to the east, and as part of its most recent de-dollarization initiative, the Moscow Exchange announced it has started trading Chinese Renminbi-Russian Ruble currency futures.

America's European "Allies" Desert Obama, Join China-led Infrastructure Bank. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/17/2015. It appears the sea of de-dollarization has reached the shores of Europe. With Australia and UK having already moved in the direction of joining the China-led AIIB, The FT reports that France, Germany, and Italy have now all agreed to join the development bank as 'pivot to Asia' appears to be Plan B for Europe. As Greg Sheridan previously noted, "the saga of the China Bank is almost a textbook case of the failure of Obama’s foreign policy," but as The FT concludes, the European decisions represent a significant setback for the Obama administration, which has argued that western countries could have more influence over the workings of the new bank if they stayed together on the outside. As Forbes notes, this leaves Obama with 3 uncomfortable options...

It's Time For Angela Merkel To Stand Up. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/17/2015. The increasing ugliness of the ‘negotiations’ between the Greek Syriza government and the rest of the eurozone, which is ruled by the German government, needs to be halted and put in reverse. There is an urgent need for a detente, for cooler heads and for trust. And there is only one person who can act to create these things: Angela Merkel. But Merkel is nowhere to be found or seen. Merkel has been sorely lacking and missing, and if she doesn’t get her act together very quickly, she will be known as the person who let Europe slip into war, for no good reason whatsoever.
 [In my opinion, Merkel is –more than a politician- a business lady  ... Germany is in her mind .. and Germany has not future inside an EU invaded by NATO supremacists like “la dama del  kaganato” Mrs Nuland -who once said “F… the EU”-  and the NATO commander Gen. Philip Breedlove, who purposely invented stories to foster a nuke-war against Russia .. with this people inside the EU  what future Germany has?  NONE. .. the only one who benefit from the EU is the US, the main profiteer of wars and WMD .. I guess Merkel and French leaders are looking toward Eurasia .. money goes there .. and there is a huge market over there for Germany businesses .. With NATO and the US only wars and destruction is ahead]

Russia Escalates Military Posture: Deploys Strategic Bombers To Crimea, Launches Massive Drills Across Nation Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/17/2015. All those who were wondering where Putin had "disappeared" to, and spreading rumors whether it was more likely his girlfriend had given birth in Switzerland or aliens had abducted him, will probably be satisfied if he were to promptly disappear once more following news that not only yesterday had he put 40,000 troops on full alert as part of "snap-readiness exercises", but less than 24 hours followed this up with even more demonstrative military "drills" after Sputnik reported that Russian strategic Tu-22M3 (Backfire) strike bombers have been deployed to the Crimean Peninsula to hold snap combat readiness drills, a source in the Russian Defense Ministry said Tuesday, in addition to further massive troops and equipment deployment tests in the western part of the nation as well as around the Arctic circle.
[Russia is responding to more than 20 drills done by NATO in their borders. It is a saying “we are ready for your attack”. Tit x Tat, bulling by bulling, is the language they understand each other]

FUTURE FAST FORWARD  FFF Shocking news

The Daily Bell

German Chancellor Merkel Examines the Model of Cyprus As a Solution for Greece
... The model of Cyprus might be the best solution for Greece in order to force the government's implementation of the structural reforms it has already agreed to with the country's creditors. This is what the German magazine Der Spiegel estimates, citing information from the Chancellery. – Greek Reporter

Dominant Social Theme: Banks need to be bailed out? Take the funds from their depositors. Simple enough ...

Free-Market Analysis:
Now the Cyprus episode begins to become clearer. What the EU needed was a precedent, and apparently Cyprus sufficed. We've written about Cyprus before, some two years ago when the Cyprus default was ongoing. In an article entitled, "Yes, Cyprus Was Aimed at Sinking Tax Havens," we suggested the following:

In hindsight, the Cyprus incident will be seen as yet another attempt to consolidate power on behalf of Brussels and the European experiment. It was also, tangentially, a rescue of Cyprus's financial system on the backs of large bank clients ...

We've also argued that these manipulations are ill advised and that those involved with them are underestimating their control over the increasingly fractious tribes of Europe and of the larger financial economy.

Junk Became Junkier - By Pater Tenebrarum (17/3/15). One of the undeclared (or only occasionally admitted) goals of the enormous monetary pumping by central banks in recent years was to drive investors toward buying riskier assets. After all, if one gets virtually no interest on savings deposits and so-called  “high quality debt”  – which these days comprises mainly the debt of de facto bankrupt governments –  is trading at yields to maturity somewhere between absurdly low and negative, what is one going to do with the flood of money pouring forth from the central planners?

Market Tops In! Why Buy-The-Dippers Can’t Get It Up - By David Stockman (17/3/15) Needless to say, this global deflationary tide will kill profits, growth and jobs as it unfolds. And as I discussed further on Bloomberg this AM, there is not a chance the US economy has decoupled from the rest of the world. The great credit -driven boom was universal and fueled by out of control central banks. Now comes the bust phase, and these same money printing central bankers have no clue what to do about it.

SPUTNIK & RT

Putin: Attempts to Rewrite WWII History Aimed at Undermining Russia. http://sputniknews.com/politics/20150317/1019603972.html Attempts to rewrite and falsify the history of World War II are aimed at undermining the authority and power of modern Russia, Russian President Vladimir Putin said Tuesday, during the Victory Parade commemorating the 70th anniversary of Nazi Germany surrender, and marking the end of World War II.
In January, the Russian president said that attempts to rewrite history were often driven by a desire to hide shame and complicity with the Nazis.
Early January, Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk amazed the world with an announcement that the USSR invaded Ukraine and Germany during WWII, not taking into account the fact that prior to the Second World War, most of Ukraine, including Kiev, was part of the Soviet Union. http://sputniknews.com/politics/20150317/1019603972.html

Hijacked? UK's Nuclear Weapons Data Travels via Ukraine. Sensitive internet data from British company Royal Mail and the UK Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE) has passed through Russia and Ukraine via insecure connections, according to internet performance and analysis company Dyn. AWE is 'responsible for the design, manufacture and support of warheads for the United Kingdom's nuclear deterrent'. An expert in computer networks who wanted to remain anonymous told Sputnik News that the re-route appears to be a configuration error. "This doesn't look like route-hijacking, it could just be the protocol on the routing hardware. It looks like a configuration error to me", he said.

‘Elections not to change Israel policies’. Wed Mar 18, 2015 A political analyst says the result of the parliamentary elections in Israel would not make any difference in its foreign policy. Professor Jennifer Loewenstein, from the University of Madison, says that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is an “abysmal” politician who has done very little for improving his own people’s social conditions, adding that his potential failure in the elections would not change Tel Aviv’s foreign policy especially with regards to the establishment of a Palestinian state. On the contrary, Korb believes that the victory of Netanyahu’s opponent party would revive hopes for a negotiated solution to tensions between Palestinians and Israelis.
