ZERO HEDGE
"There
Are Big, Big Problems" - The Shocker Crushing The Economy Revealed. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 04/13/2015. According to the CMI, the Rejections of Credit
Applications index just crashed the most ever, surpassing even the credit
crunch at the peak of the Lehman crisis: "There is quite obviously some
serious financial stress manifesting in the data and this does not bode
well for the growth of the economy going forward. These readings are as low as
they have been since the recession started and to see everything start to get
back on track would take a substantial reversal at this stage.... The signal
this sends is that many companies are not nearly as healthy as it has been
assumed and that there is considerably less resilience in the business sector
than assumed."

The
FBI Is Using "Aggressive Deception" To Cover Up Saudi Links To 9/11
Attack. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 04/13/2015. Former Democratic Sen. Bob Graham, who in 2002
chaired the congressional Joint Inquiry into 9/11, maintains the FBI is
covering up a Saudi support cell in Sarasota for the hijackers - “One
thing that irritates me is that the F.B.I. has gone beyond just covering up,
trying to avoid disclosure, into what I call aggressive deception,”
He says the al-Hijjis’ “urgent” pre-9/11 exit suggests “someone may have tipped
them off” about the coming attacks. “The 28 pages primarily relate to who
financed 9/11, and they point a very strong finger at Saudi Arabia as being the
principal financier,” he said, adding, “I am speaking of the kingdom,” or
government, of Saudi Arabia, not just wealthy individual Saudi donors.

Politicians
& The Manipulated Crowd. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 04/13/2015. Life and happiness in this life under any
political system directly depend upon how much our individuality (versus the
crowd) is retained and to what extent we throw off manipulated illusions. Fewer
and fewer people have any cognitive imperative to question the system because
hypnosis and learned behavior are transferred from one generation to another.
False beliefs are self-perpetuating and feed upon one another. The more
generations accepting myths, the more reinforcing they become. The creation
of the mass mind and/or mass consciousness is the secret weapon of the ruling
elite.

When
The Supreme Court Stopped Economic Fascism In America. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 04/13/2015. In spite of the landmark decision 80 years ago
against the imposition of economic fascism in America, the U.S. government
has continued to grow in power over the American people. But it should be
remembered that men of courage, integrity, and principle can stand up to Big
Brother and resist the headlong march into economic tyranny. That unanimous
Supreme Court decision in 1935 was one bright example of it.

California
Is "A Totally Artificial World Of Water Use" & Desalination Can't
Fix It. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 04/13/2015. Like many other towns in California, Santa Barbara is
projecting a significant water shortfall in 2017. The solutions, being
proposed for now, are extreme water conservancy, desalination plants, and
sewage recycling following Jerry Brown's diktat that "as
Californians, we have to pull together and save water in every way we
can." However, others insist that conserving water will not be enough, "I
don't think we can really conserve our way out of this problem, this
problem being a combination of drought and of incredibly high water demand by a
growing population and climate change," warns NASA scientist Jay
Famiglietti and environmentalists exclaim "we don't even know how
much we need because we waste so much; we live in a total artificial world of
water use and water supply." As
we noted before, this is just beginning.

John
Michael Greer Warns "The God Of Technological Progress May Well Be
Dead". Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 04/13/2015. The new normal is a global faith in inexorable
technological advancement as a cure-all to every predicament we face. In
many ways, it's become the dominant religion of the 21st century. Sadly, there
are a growing number of threats for which 'improved' technologies actually
exacerbate the risks (particularly in regards to depleting critical resources)
-- but society refuses to acknowledge this, as it runs counter to the
tech-as-savoir meme so many are pinning their hopes on...

curriculums, policy statements, movements and causes, and in historical memory.
America will be hard pressed to survive the lies that it lives.

Blinder Leading The Blind. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/13/2015. Princeton University and former vice chairman of the Federal Reserve Alan Blinder unleashes his self-serving smorgasbord of Fed apologism in today's WSJ Op-Ed. The Fed should be patient-er for longer, he explains; and as far as the "loudly and frequently worried 'impatience crowd'," Blinder states, fears of policy "causing financial-market 'distortions' and bubbles might burst, causing untold damage to our economy," can apparently be ignored because, as he explains "none of the hypothesized financial hazards have surfaced." So - because we haven't crashed yet... policy is right - "This is a time to be patient."

What's
Really Behind The U.S Crude Oil Build. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 04/13/2015. Prices from late 2016 into 2018 are essentially flat
in the low to mid 60s, believe it or not, which would essentially bankrupt
most of OPEC, US conventional oil, part of US shale and deep offshore drilling.
So ask where is the oil going to come from? Yet the madness continues
until investors realize E&P companies need a higher price to justify
investments in the space.

Financiers: Wells Fargo Workers Protest Re-Emergence Of Predatory Practices.
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/13/2015. One of America’s
biggest banks is going to be protested by an unlikely group today: its
employees. As The
Guardian reports, Wells Fargo bankers are protesting the bank’s alleged
predatory practices – mainly the sales quotas imposed on some of its
workers (which have led to at least 30 employees opening duplicate accounts,
sometimes without customers’ knowledge, in order to inflate their sales
numbers). One worker warns, “it is not in Wells Fargo’s best interest
for customers to purchase products and services they don’t use or need.”
Now where have we seen this kind of activity before? Wells Fargo bank workers
are not the only ones struggling to make ends meet without breaking ethical
standards as bank tellers have collected as much as $105m in food stamps.

"We
Have Come To The End Of The Road" - Greece Prepares For Default, FT
Reports. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 04/13/2015. Update: as always is the case in Europe,
nothing is confirmed until it is officially denied by officials, so here you
go: GREEK GOVT OFFICIAL DENIES FT REPORT GREECE PLANNING DEFAULT
It should hardly come as a surprise that after the latest
round of Greek pre-negotiation negotiations with the Troika, in which the
Greek representative was said
to behave like a taxi driver, who "just asked where
the money was and insisted his country would soon be bankrupt" and in
which the Eurozone members "were disappointed and shocked at Athens' lack
of movement in its plans, and in particular its reluctance to talk about
cutting civil servants' pensions" that the next Greek step is to fall back
- yet again - to square zero: threats of an imminent default. Which is
precisely what, according to the FT, has happened "Greece is preparing
to take the dramatic step of declaring a debt default unless it can reach a
deal with its international creditors by the end of April."

The
Best And Worst Performing Hedge Funds In 2015 . Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 04/13/2015. Any year in which two of the best performing hedge
funds are two of our old-time favorites, the aptly named Keynes Leveraged
Quantitative Strategies and even more aptly named Tulip Trend Fund,
you know is going to be one of "those" years. Only this time
joining them at the top after the first quarter is also the Russian Prosperity
Fund, while making an unexpected and welcome appearance in the top 10 is none
other than everyone's favorite outspoken, if rather timid in recent years,
scot: Hugh Hendry's Eclectica, which has returned 14% YTD.

Russia
Warns "Attempts At Isolation Are Counterproductive & Useless".
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/13/2015. Attempts to
isolate Russia and ignore its position are useless and counterproductive,
State Duma Speaker Sergey Naryshkin said on Monday, ahead of the decision to
lift sanctions on anti-aircraft missiles to Iran. With the Russian stock market
among the top performers of the year and The Ruble the strongest currency in
the world this year, it appears he may be on to something...

The
Changing World Of Work I: America's Nine Classes. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 04/13/2015. The conventional CLASS STRUCTURE is
divided along the lines of income, i.e. the wealthy, upper middle class, middle
class, lower middle class and the poor. But this 3.5-class structure did not
capture the changing nature of employment, income and wealth/political power;
which more appropriately subdivides into America's socio-economic spectrum
into nine classes. This is neofeudal, a term we use to
describe a society and economy dominated by financialization and the apex of
wealth and political power that wealth buys. The classes below this apex are
either tax donkeys, Upper Caste technocrats serving the apex, or the lower
classes that are bought off with social welfare and various modern iterations
of bread and circuses.

Proxy
War Escalates: Russia Lifts Ban On Selling Anti-Aircraft Missiles To Iran.
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/13/2015. UPDATE: *RUSSIA
WILL SUPPLY S-300 TO IRAN QUICKLY: INTERFAX
We showed yesterday the web of interconnected rifts and
relationships among The Middle East's local and proxy war members and it seems
this morning tensions are escalating once again. As Bloomberg reports, Russian
President Vladimir Putin signed a decree on Monday lifting a ban on the
delivery of S-300 anti-missile rocket systems to Iran. The ban was
introduced by former President Dmitry Medvedev in 2010 under pressure from the
West following UN sanctions imposed on Iran over its nuclear program.

Lemmings
Look Like A Pack Of Individualists Compared To Wall Street. by
Jim Quinn via The Burning Platform blog. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 04/13/2015 Since most of
you are too lazy to read Hussman’s brilliant analysis every week, I’ve picked
out the key paragraphs from this week’s letter. For the really lazy, I’ve
bolded the key sentences. The lemmings on Wall Street are still confident as
they march in lockstep towards the cliff.
“A group of lemmings looks like a pack of individualists
compared with Wall Street when it gets a concept in its teeth.”- Warren
Buffett
About 8% of market history falls into the present set of
market conditions (essentially characterized by extreme overvalued, overbought,
overbullish conditions that are coupled with deterioration in market internals
or credit spreads on our measures). To the extent that air pockets,
free-falls and crashes have reasonably identifiable commonalities, this 8% of
history captures what we view as the essential features.
In any event, present conditions are not favorable (or even
flat) on our measures, and despite week-to-week variation, the average outcome
of present conditions has been wicked.
