Conspiracy
Theorists, Bloggers Compared To ISIS During Congressional Hearing. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 04/16/2015. Bloggers, conspiracy theorists and people who
challenge establishment narratives on the Internet were all likened to ISIS
terrorists during a chilling Congressional hearing which took place
yesterday. As linguist Noam Chomsky said, “The idea that there should be a
network reaching people, which does not repeat the US propaganda system, is
intolerable” to the US establishment.

Matter Who Wins The White House, The New Boss Will Be The Same As The Old Boss.
by
John Whitehead via The Rutherford Institute. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 04/16/2015. The American people remain eager to be persuaded
that a new president in the White House can solve the problems that plague us.
Yet no matter who wins this next presidential election, you can rest assured
that the new boss will be the same as the old boss, and we - the permanent
underclass in America - will continue to be forced to march in lockstep with
the police state in all matters, public and private. It really doesn’t matter
what you call them - the 1%, the elite, the controllers, the masterminds,
the shadow government, the police state, the surveillance state, the military
industrial complex - so long as you understand that no matter which party
occupies the White House in 2017, the unelected bureaucracy that actually
calls the shots will continue to do so.
“What the government is good at
is collecting taxes, taking away your freedoms and killing people. It’s not
good at much else.”—Author Tom Clancy
I point out in my new book Battlefield
America: The War on the American People, it really doesn’t matter
what you call them - the 1%, the elite, the controllers, the masterminds, the
shadow government, the police state, the surveillance state, the military
industrial complex - so long as you understand that no matter which party
occupies the White House in 2017, the unelected bureaucracy that actually
calls the shots will continue to do so.
[21 FACTS THAT SHOWS THAT AMERICA
IS NOT A DEMOCRACY: ]
FACT 1: For the first time in history, Congress
is dominated by a majority of millionaires who are, on average,
fourteen times wealthier than the average American. According to a scientific
study by Princeton researchers, the United
States of America is not the democracy that it purports to be, but rather an
oligarchy
FACT 2: “Today, 17,000 local police forces
are equipped with such military equipment as Blackhawk helicopters, machine
guns, grenade launchers, battering rams, explosives, chemical sprays, body
armor, night vision, rappelling gear and armored vehicles,” reports
Paul Craig Roberts, former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury. “Some have
tanks.”
FACT 3: Thanks to an overabundance
of 4,500-plus federal crimes and 400,000-plus rules and regulations, it
is estimated that the average
American actually commits three felonies a day without knowing it.
In fact, according to law professor John Baker, “There
is no one in the United States over the age of 18 who cannot be indicted for
some federal crime.
FACT 4: The number of violent
crimes in the country is down substantially, the lowest rate in
forty years, while the number
of Americans being jailed for nonviolent crimes such as driving with a
suspended license is skyrocketing.

Signs
That 'The Elites' Are Feverishly Preparing For Something Big. by
Michael Snyder via The End of The American Dream blog. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 04/16/2015. What in the world are the elites up to?
In recent days, we have learned that the New York Fed is moving a lot
of operations to Chicago because of concerns about what a “natural disaster”
could do, the federal government is buying 62 million rounds of ammunition
commonly used in AR-15 semi-automatic rifles for “training” purposes, and NORAD
is moving back into Cheyenne Mountain because it is “EMP-hardened”. In
addition, government authorities have scheduled a whole host of unusual
“training exercises” all over the nation. So are the elite doing all
of this in order to prepare for something really BIG, or should we just chalk
up all of this strange activity to rampant government paranoia?
And here is an excerpt form a news story about an exercise known as
“Northern Exposure” that is being held in Michigan…
In addition, the U.S. military will be conducting some “unusual”
training activity out in Arizona and
California…
Another thing that has people scratching their heads are the weird
closures of Wal-Mart stores all over the nation for
supposed “plumbing problems”…
Perhaps all of these examples are just unrelated
coincidences.
But then again, perhaps not.
[ His “perhaps” is not the language of doubt, is the language
of cowards. Make it clear: this
preparations come from the ruling classes and their aim is to defend their interests
in case a recession or war, or both of them. That is the “something big” that Michael
Snyder is talking about. ]

Greece
May Pay Wages And Pensions In IOUs. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 04/16/2015. [THIS IS AN IMF or ANTI-GREEK ARTICLE. See my comment below] Greece could
"issue IOUs to pay public sector workers and pensioners and free up
money to repay its debts. But this could cause economic chaos if fears that the
IOUs would never be paid sparked riots or public sector employees simply
refused to work."
Athens owes nearly €2 billion in public sector wages and
pensions at the end of the month. The paying people with IOUs is an
hilarious rough equivalent of conducting repos with individual citizens.. which needless to say could turn into an
untenable social and political issue virtually overnight.. Greece is already issuing the rough
equivalent of those in the form of Greek T-bills which are sitting on the books
of the very same Greek banks which, in the event the IOU solution is pursued,
will be besieged by the very same citizens to whom the IOUs are issued.
To put more simply this IMF mocking here the fake bill:
[WHAT IF: once set up the new National bill and the parity
with the Euro, the IMF has to accept it, if they want the 2Bll debt be paid.. Gold
will be the back for this new money: the equivalent of the 100 tons of gold
stolen by the Germans. .. Tit for Tat: that
will be the complete circle of this sarcasm!. When the debt is already paid.. then
Greece may adopt the anti-IMF international bill.. the BRICS currency fostering
by China.. the EU & Germans can do whatever
they want with the hilarious IOUS they
will have as paid for their debt … that will be a real Tit for Tat.. El que rÃe al ultimo rÃe mejor].

After Rescuing Ukraine, US Taxpayers To Bail Out Iraq Next. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/16/2015. Having generously (if not obliviously) stepped up to the plate to bail out Ukraine (with open-ended bond guarantees), US taxpayers are opening their wallets again - this time for Iraq. As Reuters reports, cheap oil has ravage Iraq's state finances just as the government faces rising military spending from the war it is waging against ISIS; and so it has decided to issue $5 billion in international bonds. However, Iraq is considering other ways to cover its budget deficit, including asking the IMF (i.e. US taxpayers) for relief funding and also requesting the controversial U.S. Export-Import Bank (US Taxpayers) finance the purchase of 10 planes from Boeing Co, which cost the government $500 million.

Today, it appears, he will be eating his words, as Italian, Spanish, and
Portuguese bond spreads have exploded higher (up 15-30bps this week) amid
the collapse of Greek sovereign and bank bonds. All we need now is for some EU
leader to claim "Grexit risk is contained," and we know trouble is
ahead.

Greek
Bonds Tumble On News IMF Rejected "Unofficial" Greek Request To Delay
Payment. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 04/16/2015. "Greek officials have made an informal
approach to the International Monetary Fund to delay repayments of loans to the
international lender," FT reports. Knowing it faces the rather
untenable choice between paying the IMF or paying public sector wages and
pensions, Athens attempted to "shuffle" its payment schedule around
to no avail. Yields on GGBs spiked as the now openly insolvent Greece stares into
the drachma abyss.

[why to continue

international “cancerberos” of peace. Their objective is to disarm Iran and
facilitate the Israeli nuclear attack .. Once Iran is disarmed the Congress
will question the deal and Obama will use this pretext for his approval of
Israel war on Iran… Obama already agree to give up the Executive power to

bomb with nukes) do not belong to NPT. Following the rules of NPT implies for IRAN disarming
their State-Nation and get the chances of being bombed. If Israel accepts to be
part of the NPT then they should be submitted to similar standards imposed on
Iran, & at the same time. Once get out of the NPT, the staff of the International
Agency in charge of checking the saints in the ME should get another job, more
