93
million in US out of labor force. Sun Mar 8, 2015 A record high
92,898,000 Americans aged 16 and older did not participate in the labor force,
according to new data. February’s labor participation rate was 62.8 percent,
the lowest level since March 1978, when it was at the same rate, a trend that
has intensified since President Barrack Obama took office in 2009. When Obama
came to power in January 2009, there were around 80 million Americans not
participating in the workforce, meaning that over 12 million citizens have left
the workforce since then. In just the last month, 354,000 Americans left the
workforce, official figures show. 'US

Germany
Has Had Enough With US Neocons: Berlin "Stunned" At US Desire For War
In Ukraine. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 03/07/2015. While Russia's
envoy to NATO notes that statements by the deputy head of NATO testify to the
fact that the leaders of the bloc want to intervene in Russia’s internal
politics, and are "dreaming of Russian Maidan,"
Washington has a bigger problem... Germany. As
Der Spiegel reports, while US President Obama 'supports' Chancellor
Merkel's efforts at finding a diplomatic solution to the Ukraine crisis, hawks
in Washington seem determined to torpedo Berlin's approach. And NATO's top
commander in Europe hasn't been helping either with sources in the Chancellery
have referred to Breedlove's comments as "dangerous propaganda."

Anti-Netanyahu
Protest Fills Streets Of Tel Aviv As Ex-Mossad Chief Calls His Congress Speech
"Bullshit" Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 03/07/2015. Following Benjamin Netanyahu's speech to the US
Congress last week, Israel's former intelligence chief voiced his displeasure. As
The Hill reports, Meir Dagan, a former Mossad director, strongly
disagreed with many of Netanyahu’s assertions, stating that "Iranian
missiles will never be able to hit the United States," and that comments
that Iran could producer nuclear weapons within a year were
"bullshit." But, as
Mike Krieger notes below, it's not just just Dagan that is disappointed, a
large protest against him erupted in the nation’s section largest city, Tel
Aviv. It appears “Bibi” is far more popular with crazy American neocons than
he is with his own fellow citizens.

Post: Revanchism & Russophobia - The Dark Undercurrents Of The War In
Ukraine. by
Vineyard of The Saker. Submitted
by Tyler Durden on 03/07/2015. Could it be
that one of the key factors motivating the West’s apparently illogical and
self-defeating desire to constantly confront Russia is simply revanchism for
WWII? Most people in the West want to live in peace and are completely
unaware of these undercurrents of the war in the Ukraine. While the apparent
Russophobia and revanchism is only relevant to various minority groups, the
problem is that taken together and when they act in unison, these minorities
end of wielding a lot of power and influence. The best way to stop them, is
to shed a strong light on them and their real motives. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-03-07/guest-post-revanchism-russophobia-dark-undercurrents-war-ukraine

Why
Westerners Are Flocking To Al Qaeda And ISIS: The Documentary. Submitted
by Tyler Durden on 03/07/2015. On the fourth
anniversary of the Syrian War, Al Jazeera is out with a new documentary that
explores why young, Western Muslims feel increasingly compelled to join the
fight and also looks at the ideological divide between al-Qaeda’s Syrian arm,
al-Nusra and ISIS. “Whatever the truth
about the Khorasan Group, immediately after the strikes, Nusra moved against
the US' last remaining allies in region - two relatively secular rebel groups
which the US has armed and trained, the Syrian Revolutionary Front and Harakat
Hazm. The Syrian Revolutionary Front was quickly defeated and expelled from
Syria, and just a few days ago Nusra declared victory over Harakat Hazm, taking
over their territory and seizing their US supplied weapons. It is yet another
setback for US strategy in the region. Nusra have further consolidated their
hold over northwest Syria, and plan to be there for the long-term”. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-03-07/why-westerners-are-flocking-al-qaeda-and-isis-documentary

"Give
Everyone A Check For $10 Million, It Will Create Inflation": Albert
Edwards First TV Interview In 20 Years. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 03/07/2015. In his first TV interview in 20 years, SocGen's
Albert Edwards unleashes his brutal honesty on Raoul Pal in this excellent RealVisionTV discussion.
From "what Japan is doing is absolutely off the scale,"
warnings about money-printing to the awkward reality that "policy
makers cannot eliminate the business cycle," warnings instead that
"they will make the eventual downturn far worse than it otherwise would
be..." Edwards' discussion ranges from the UK and US
"choosing lunatic policies" to describing Alan Greenspan as "a
prospective economic war criminal," the SocGen strategist concludes,
rather ominously, if policy-makers keep handing out free money, it will create
massive problems, "there is a trigger point where you can create
inflation. I don't know where that is. The central banks don't know where that
is."

by Tyler Durden on 03/07/2015. The US population
grew from February 2008 to February 2015 by 16.8 million persons, or a 5.5%
increase in total population, and on a net basis, not a single one of those
16.8 million persons got a FT (full time) job… while a net 2.7 million were
lucky enough to get a (or multiple) PT (part time) job.

The Threat To The Dollar As The World’s Primary Reserve Currency. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/07/2015. We need to look at the concept of a reserve currency differently, because it is important. We need to look at it as a privilege and a responsibility and not as a weapon we can use against the rest of the world. If we abolish, or even lessen, legal tender laws and allow the process of price discovery to reveal the best sound money, if we allow our US dollar to become the best money it can - a truly sound money - then the chances of our personal and collective prosperity are greatly enhanced. We all have the same interest. We all want to have the highest standard of living for ourselves and our families. A sound money reserve currency offers us the best chance of achieving our shared goal; therefore, we should rally around every effort to make it so.

Greek
Minister Threatens Europe With Flood Of Jihadists And Immigrants If Greece
Fails, Warns Of Referendum. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 03/07/2015. It wasn't even a full 24 hours after Greece raided at
least some of the funds of its pension and other public entities in order to
make a €310 payment to the IMF, the first of four this month (the balance is
350 million on March 13, 580 million on March 16 and another 350 million on
March 20), that the insolvent country resumed doing what it does best: dispensing
hollow threats. This time it was its foreign minister and leader of the
Independent Greeks party - Syriza's junion coalition partner - Nikos Kotzias,
who showed how to bluff like the best of them, when he threatened that "there
will be tens of millions of immigrants and thousands of jihadists, if you take
out Greece" the minister said on before EU foreign ministers meeting
in Riga.

Two
Men Charged Over Nemtsov's Murder, Opposition Fear Scapegoating. Submitted
by Tyler Durden on 03/07/2015. Two men from
Russia’s southern region of the North Caucasus, have been detained, according
to FSB chief Aleksandr Bortnikov, suspected of the murder of Boris Nemtsov. As
Reuters reports, The Investigative Committee, the state body leading the
investigation, named the two men as Anzor Gubashev and Zaur Dadayev, and said
they were "involved in the organization and execution of the
killing," of Nemtsov. Opposition politicians fear scapegoating once
again as past high-profile killings in Russia have led to people being jailed
for pulling the trigger - often hired hitmen from the Caucasus - while
investigators have failed to track down those who ordered the assassinations.
