How
Clinton Foundation Donations Led To Billions In Weapons Sales To Autocratic
Regimes. by
Mike Krieger via Liberty Blitzkrieg blog. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 05/27/2015
Another day, another Clinton
Foundation related scandal. In
the latest expose by International Business Times’ David Sirota, we
learn about the explosion in weapons sales to certain nations during Hillary
Clinton’s tenure as Secretary of State. Billions of dollars in sales went to
autocratic regimes notorious for human rights abuses who donated generously to
the Clinton Foundation. Should we be surprised? No. Should we be outraged and
disgusted? Absolutely. Of all the Clinton scandals, the following is the most
dangerous to peace on earth.

The
Farce Is Complete: FIFA, Qatar Donated To The Clinton Foundation. Submitted
by Tyler Durden on 05/27/2015
Earlier today, when
commenting on the latest global criminal scandal, that of "rampant
corruption" at FIFA, we - jokingly - said: "And now we just sit back
and wait to see how many of the defendants sent "donations" to the
Clinton Foundation and how many speeches Hillary and/or Bill gave at the Baur
au Lac in the past two decades."
Then we decided to
make sure the joke wouldn't be on us and that FIFA hadn't indeed donated to the
Clinton foundation.
The joke was on
us... because not only
did FIFA donate to the Clinton Foundation...

Everything is Great… Why Are Sovereigns and Clearinghouses Preparing For
Systemic Risk? . Posted by: Phoenix Capital... . Post date: 05/27/2015
Another round of the
Crisis is coming and the Powers That Be know it. This is why they’re preparing
by buying up Gold bullion.
Everything that has
happened since 2007, every Central Bank move, ever major political decision
regarding the big banks, every trend, have all been focused solely on one
issue.
That issue is collateral.
What is collateral? Collateral is an underlying asset that is pledged when a party enters into
a financial arrangement. It is essentially a promise that should things
go awry, you have some “thing” that is of value, which the other party can get
access to in order to compensate them for their losses.
Gold as Collateral Acceptable for Margin Cover Purposes
From 28 August 2012 unallocated
Gold (Loco London) will be accepted by LCH.Clearnet Limited (LCH.Clearnet)
as collateral for margin cover purposes.
This addition to acceptable margin collateral will be subject to
the following criteria;
Available for members clearing OTC precious metals forwards (LCH
EnClear Precious Metals division) or precious metals contracts on the Hong Kong
Mercantile Exchange. Acceptable to cover margin requirements for all markets
cleared on both House and ‘Segregated’ omnibus Client accounts.
The clearinghouses
aren’t the only ones. Germany’s Central Bank has begun Gold repatriation.
Austria, Belgium, France, Switzerland and the Netherlands all are implementing
Gold repatriation schemes. Russia and China are buying Gold bullion.
Another round of the
Crisis is coming and the Powers That Be know it. This is why they’re preparing
by buying up Gold bullion.

An
Insane Financial World. by Gary
Christenson via The Deviant Investor
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/27/2015
What do we really know?
Bankers, politicians
and military contractors will benefit.
IN OUR INSANE WORLD WE MIGHT ASK:
- What happens to our financial system and the price of gold when western central banks are no longer willing or able to ship gold to Asia in exchange for fiat currencies held by Russia and China?
- What would happen if the Chinese government announced that it will buy gold at $2,000 per ounce to boost their stockpile? When gold is no longer available at $2,000 per ounce, might they offer $4,000 or $6,000?
- What would happen if the central banks of the world admitted that Quantitative Easing is primarily beneficial for banks and the wealthy, and that QE has been a failure at stimulating western economies?
- What would happen to global confidence if central banks admitted that consumer prices will rise substantially due to QE and inflation of the money supply?
- What would happen if commercial banks announced they will charge you for depositing your currency in their bank? (Oops, that has already happened.)
- What should we expect if banks penalize savers for depositing (loaning) currency to a bank? We should expect an increasing use of cash – actual paper notes. But there appears to be a “war on cash” in western countries. Discourage cash, force deposits into banks, charge for those deposits, squeeze savers as much as possible, increase controls, and boost financial system bonuses.
- What if bail-ins occur, and the banks take your deposited funds to pay off creditors, such as other banks who bought or sold derivative contracts? (If the bail-in is announced late on a Friday and the banks are closed the next week for “restructuring” you will have no opportunity to remove your currency from the bank. In Cyprus the insiders and politically connected escaped with their funds while many other individuals and businesses discovered their accounts had been “bailed-in.”)
- What happens if governments eventually announce that most retirement accounts and pension plans will be required to purchase continually devaluing government issued bonds?
- What happens if trust and confidence in the financial system are lost, banks no longer trust banks, businesses no longer trust they will be paid, and individuals no longer trust their governments or the pieces of paper we call money?
- The Fed has reduced interest rates so investors are chasing yield in all the wrong places, such as junk bonds. What happens when many of those junk bonds, which may have been stuffed into your bond mutual funds and pension plans, are priced at their true value – much less than face value?
What are the consequences?
A few words come to
mind: anger, anguish, bankruptcy, betrayal, depression, recession,
repression, riots, stagflation, and trauma.
In a saner world, we will depend far less on fiat
currencies that are devalued easily and inevitably. Instead we will trust
gold and silver more and paper much less.
My advice: Create your
own financial sanity!

The Man in the Moon
studies the pathology of Earth’s global economy and markets from a distance
where there’s no gravitational pull towards empiricism or consensus.
His findings:
1) the global
economy is over-leveraged, fragile, stagnating, and increasingly centrally
managed;
2) capital markets
and asset performance have been captured by the perception of the ongoing value
of money, and so;
3) unconventional

[These Infographics should be done on most zerohedge relevant

The US and China are
racing towards a maritime conflict stemming from Beijing’s construction of what
Washington has condescendingly called “sand castles” in the Spratly archipelago.
With Beijing set to enforce what is effectively a no-fly zone over its new
sovereign ‘territory’ we bring you an infographic which shows that when it
comes to sheer size, China’s air force and Navy are beyond compare.
More, from
WSJ:
China’s promise to beef up its naval capabilities to prevent further
“meddling” and “provocative actions” by rivals in the South China Sea is a
daunting prospect for most of its neighbors, which already view Beijing’s
fast-improving armed forces with trepidation...
As a recent Pentagon review of China’s military modernization
drive noted, “China is investing in capabilities designed to defeat adversary
power projection and counter third-party—including U.S.—intervention during a
crisis or conflict.” In practice, that means hundreds of ballistic and cruise
missiles positioned near the coast to deter Japanese or American warships from
coming anywhere near Chinese territory. China has a substantial submarine fleet
as well, piling on more risk for enemy ships.

Markets are not cheap by any measure. If earnings growth continues to wane or

collide with "reality." This is not a dire prediction of doom

These
19 Passports Will Be A Lot More Valuable On July 1st. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 05/27/2015.
Representatives from
the European Union recently closed out a summit in Riga to decide the future of
EU visa policy with respect to Ukraine. Once again, Ukraine was denied
visa-free access to the EU, proving that “European support” for Ukraine against
Russia is just hot air and empty promises. There are, however, 19 other
countries, which will be joining the EU visa-free list as of July 1, 2015.
They are: Colombia, Peru, Dominica, St. Lucia,
Grenada, St. Vincent & the Grenadines, Trinidad & Tobago, UAE, Marshall
Islands, Kiribati, Nauru, Palau, Micronesia, Samoa, Solomon Islands, East
Timor, Tonga, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu.
Colombia and Peru
are two places where you can become a legal resident and apply for citizenship
in 2-5 years.
This can be very
cost-effective, as in Colombia it can cost less than $1,000 to obtain
residency, including legal assistance.
Bottom line– there are always options. You don’t have to go your entire life being
restricted by something that was an accident of birth.
Having a second
passport means having more freedom and more possibilities.
So, finding
expedited or cost effective ways to obtaining one is a great tool and insurance
policy for anyone to consider.

Democracy
Or Oligarchy - You Decide. Submitted
by Tyler Durden on 05/27/2015
In the interests of
clarifying what it is that America has become, we offer this...
[YOU DECIDE?? We are
not deciding now … we are in a trap in which all the dies are loaded: two party
system decide the rules of the game; who
vote and who count the votes; who get
access to the media and who finance this business ..
Decision making power in politics
means: in the first stage, the capacity
to block them; and in the 2nd stage, the capacity to counter-attack and win the
game ..
The first stage is a popular-democratic
stage. Meaning: we can block them with a 3rd choice. THE UNITED
PEOPLE’S FRONT plus a massive abstention if the system (A) don’t give the
buying of election and condemn this fact as crime against democracy; (B) if the
system don’t give to third party free
access to media and (C) if the system prohibit the proportional representation
. ABC has to be fought now, and now the corporate power & their media is
against this trend, but they can be defeated... step by step .. the correlation
of forces has to be changed from the bottom-up. That is the purpose of the 1st
stage that ends with the creation of a strong 3rd party & mainly
with at least the 3rd
proportional power- representation at all levels of the political system.
Like in chess, the first
stage is a positional-tactical struggle
that has to be won.
The UNITED FRONT however must
have a clear strategic objective : take
control of whole states and the Federal power (it means destroying the power of
current financial & political oligarchy). This plan means to organize the post-election resistance in
order to make the elected in 2016 to listen and respect the electorate decision
from referendum on major issues. Referendums
or direct consult to masses is
the mean to radical change or revolution.
That is the strategic line to be followed from the
first stage to the 2nd one. If
we don’t built now the alliances and consistency of the UNITED FRONT we can’t
go from the first stage to the 2nd one.
The fact is that the corporate
power is partially winning the first stage .. the dirty couple still have
control of the electorate, black american are still pro-democratic party and
entire town in small state are pro-necons.. Their leaders has been discredited
but we have to push harder with facts .. The worse thing is that the corporate
power is already preparing the crackdown of post electoral resistance. .. We
should uncover and denounced so.. more consistently.]

Genuine economic

the Dow at 18,000 looks vulnerable. It wouldn’t be at all surprising to see a

PERU: PELIGROSA
MILITARIZACION EN EL PERU PRELUDIA UN AUTOGOLPE
Mauricio
Quiroz Torres <limaprovincias3@yahoo.es>
To: Zegarra,
Hugo;
PUEBLO DEBE QUEBRAR PLAN HUMALISTA DE AUTOGOLPE
Resulta grave que se autorice a las Fuerzas Armadas a intervenir en 7 Regiones del paÃs para dizque ayudar en el orden interno que se suma al recientemente declarado en la Provincia de Islay-Arequipa, donde en forma desenfrenada se viene realizando detenciones de ciudadanos que protestan contra el asesinato de 15,000 hectáreas agrÃcolas del Vallle de Tambo, en riesgo por el Proyecto minero Tia Maria.
Esta militarización del paÃses un un virtual reconocimiento de la quiebra de la democracia burguesa peruana que no sirve para contener la lucha popular contra Tia Maria y los otros proyectos del capitalismo burocrático, los neoterratenientes y el imperialismo.
Asimismo, esta militarización el humalismo genocida busca enfrentar mejor la creciente crisis económica que está llevando a insospechados niveles de decrecimiento del Producto Bruto Interno y el déficit fiscal que solo entre Enero a Abril llegó a 7 mil millones de soles.
Y la militarización se presenta mientras los Congresistas andan pescando a rio revuelto con la fuga concertada de Belaunde Lossio que ni siquiera representa el 1% de la corrupción peruana, en vez de salir a defender el estado de derecho.
El proletariado peruano junto con el campesinado y los sectores democráticos del paÃs deben quebrar este plan humalista de virtual autogolpe que acaba de dar Ollanta Humala, cabecilla del nacionalismo burgués peruano.
A movilizarnos mas en el paÃs y en el extranjero.
