Things We Had To Unlearn That Our Children Won't. by
The Dissident Dad, via Mike Krieger's Liberty Blitzkrieg blog. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/29/2015.
HE AQUI ALGUNAS FASEDADES,
DOGMAS o MENTIRASQUE NO HAY QUE ENSEÑAR
A LOS NIÑOS
As a millennial myself, I’ve noticed my peers seem to accept
most of these as conventional wisdom. Hook, line, and sinker. Here are some
ideas I was propagandized with that I hope my children will never have to
“unlearn.”
1. Violence is normal.
2. Political parties govern differently.
3. Patriotism is a virtue.
4. Illegal aliens are evil criminals who desire to
collect welfare from taxpayers.
5. Taxes are justified at gunpoint.
6. War is good for the economy.
7. Terrorists hate our freedom and culture.
8. The U.S. has a free market economy.
9. U.S. troops are dying for my freedom.
10. My vote matters.
Summary: The good news is that because of the
communications revolution we are in right now, I truly feel like there is a
great awakening happening. We see it in the alternative media boom, blogs like Liberty Blitzkrieg, ZeroHedge, and others are currently
challenging conventional wisdom with ferocity and success.
We need to keep fighting.

How
US And China Can Avoid A War (Spoiler Alert: The US Won't Like It). Submitted
by Tyler Durden on 05/29/2015
To avoid a violent militaristic clash with China, or another
cold war rivalry, the United States should pursue a simple solution: give
up its empire.
Harvard Professor Graham Allison has found:
“in 12 of 16 cases in the past 500 years when a rising power challenged a
ruling power, the outcome was war.” Chicago University scholar John
Mearsheimer has
bluntly argued: “China cannot rise peacefully.”
But the apparently looming conflict between the US and China
is not because of China’s rise per se, but rather because the US insists on
maintaining military and economic dominance among China’s neighbors.
According to political scientists Andrew
Nathan and Andrew Scobell, Beijing sees America as “the most intrusive
outside actor in China’s internal affairs, the guarantor of the status quo in
Taiwan, the largest naval presence in the East China and South China seas,
[and] the formal or informal military ally of many of China’s neighbors.”
(All of which is true.) They think that the US “seeks to curtail China’s
political influence and harm China’s interests” with a “militaristic,
offense-minded, expansionist, and selfish” foreign policy.
It is worth asking
whether having 50,000 US troops permanently stationed in Japan actually serves
US interests and what benefits we derive from keeping almost 30,000 US troops
in South Korea and whether Americans will be any safer if the Obama
administration manages to reestablish a US military presence in the Philippines
to counter China’s maritime territorial claims in the South China Sea.
International relations theorist Robert Jervis has written
that “the pursuit of primacy was what great power politics was all about in the
past” but that, in a world of nuclear weapons with “low security threats and
great common interests among the developed countries”, primacy does not have
the strategic or economic benefits it once had.
Nor does US dominance reap much in the way of tangible
rewards for most Americans: international relations theorist Daniel Drezner
contends
that “the economic benefits from military predominance alone seem, at a minimum,
to have been exaggerated”; that “There is little evidence that military primacy
yields appreciable geoeconomic gains”; and that, therefore, “an overreliance on
military preponderance is badly misguided.”
The struggle for
military and economic primacy in Asia is not really about our core national
security interests; rather, it’s about preserving status, prestige and
America’s neurotic image of itself. Those are pretty dumb reasons to risk war.
FACT: both countries are armed with nuclear
weapons. And there’s little reason to think the mutually assured destruction
paradigm that characterized the Cold War between the US and the USSR wouldn’t
dominate this shift in power as well.
But why take the risk, when maintaining US primacy just
isn’t that important to the safety or prosperity of Americans? Knowing that
should at least make the idea of giving up empire a little easier.

Europe
Has A Solution For The Unemployment Problem: Fake Jobs. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 05/29/2015
Candelia is one of a number of so-called “Potemkin”
companies operating in France. Everything about these entities is imaginary
from the customers, to the supply chain, to the banks, to the “wages” employees
receive and while the idea used to be that the creation of a “parallel
economic universe” would help to train the jobless and prepare them for real
employment sometime in the future, these “occupations” are now serving simply
as way for the out-of-work to suspend reality for eight hours a day.
[ Europa propuso
muchas soluciones que jamás funcionaron. Y no funcionaron porque permitieron la
interferencia abierta del USA dentro de sus fronteras al nivel político-económico
y militar. Y eso ocurrió desde que el imperio implemento y/o obligo a implementar en Europa los fraudes
neoliberales que asfixiaron sus finanzas (con los sub prime mortgages el US les
infesto su sistema bancario. US les vendió chocolates en platina dorada que
contenían mierda dentro ) y jamas los encausaron legalmente por ello. Lo peor
fue aceptar la política “anti-terrorista” del Patriot Act: los terroristas de
Bush & aliados (los del Mossad, Saudis,
Pakis y Qatar, los mismos que ayudaron a implementar el “inside job” del
terrorismo Sept 11, según analistas
amerianos, puedo citar varios de ellos) implementaron también ataques terroristas directos en varios paises
de Europa, lo que jamas la UE investigo por cuenta propia ni se atrevió a
denunciar. Se sometieron asi a la CIA, Pentagon y su NATO, mientras se
implementó el plan Bolton de capturo la ONU
y su International Criminal Court- ICC.
Hoy Europa enfrenta la crisis
migratoria y en su agencia de noticias EURONews.com acaban de reconocer que hay 4,000 mercenarios
europeos posible de ser movilizados dentro de Europa para seguir sembrando el
terrorismo del US y su NATO. En el EUROnews.com una dama conectada a la
agencias de seguridad de la UE dijo que jamás la libertad y la seguridad
estuvieron tan protegidas como hoy, en referencia a la crisis migratoria. Los migrantes
que huyen de la guerra, la pobreza y las enfermedades son una amenaza a la
seguridad interna pero transitoria y sin importancia, se deduce de lo dicho.
Están bajo control y jamás tendrán futuro dentro del país, sugirió. Ellos son
un problema externo y jamás lo serán dentro, es lo que dejo a entender. La
apertura de fronteras ha hecho posible coordinar las agencias de seguridad de
cada país y podemos cerrar esas fronteras cuando nos dé la gana, sugirió.
Pero uno de los entrevistados indico
que hay 4,000 mercenarios islámicos que NATO tiene ya dentro de Europa?.. Si es
cierto que hay 4,000 islamicos pro ISIL en Europa.. no hay peligro de que ellos organizen a los
migrantes “sin futuro” para aterrorizar Europa y asi someter a los gobierno de la Union como ya ocurre?. Cual es
la política para asimilar a los migrantes al sistema? Si se sabe bien que el ISIL es un aparato
para-militar financiado, entrenado y armado por el USA y sus socios en NATO .. Cuale
es la política de Europa para desmontar el terror de NATO? … seguirán
coordinando sus acciones desde su estación en Frankfurt?. Como mejorar el trato
a los emigrados? .. seguirán siendo tratados como potenciales terroristas, como
ya viene ocurriendo? Dejará eso espacio
alguno para que Europa pueda hablar de humanismo? O es que se adhieren
abiertamente a la política neo-nazi del imperio
Sin duda la apertura de fronteras ha
sido lo mejor solución de la UE a sus problemas internos y el esquema de
gobierno interno que reconoce la 3ra opción y la cifra repartidora como válida,
son avances indiscutibles que hoy los latinos estudian para implementarlos en
el SUR .. pero Europa a la vez indica que eso no será solución si no se logra
autonomía plena frente al imperio decadente, autonomía frente a los guerreristas
de NATO y los banqueros y grupos de poder que lucran con las guerras y con los
saqueos del fraude financiero neoliberal. Mientras los neo-nazis o neo-cons
controlen la política exterior del imperio no habrá solución a problemas candentes
del mundo actual. ]

Denial: We Pursue Endless Growth At Our Peril. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 05/29/2015.
Humans desperately need a new story to live by. The
old one is increasingly dysfunctional and rather obviously headed for either a
quite dismal or possibly disastrous future. One of the chief impediments to
recognizing the dysfunction of the old story and adopting a new one is the most
powerful of all human emotional states: Denial. But here we are, 40
years after the Club of Rome and 7 years after the Great Financial Accident of
2008, collectively pretending that neither was a sign warning of the dangers
we face -- as a global society -- if we continue our unsustainable policies and
practices that assume perpetual growth.

5 Things To Ponder: Is The Stock Market Rational Or Nuts? Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/29/2015.
Like Houston, the financial system has been flooded with
liquidity over recent years which has ultimately only had one place to flow -
the financial markets. That excess liquidity has sent prices soaring to
record highs despite weakting macro economic data. While many hope that the
Central Banks can somehow figure out how to keeps the rivers of liquidity from
overflowing their banks, history suggests that eventually bad things will
happen. Of course, for investors, that translates into a significant and
irreperable loss of capital.

US-Trained
Special Forces Chief Joins ISIS, Vows To Bring Jihad To Russia & America.
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/29/2015
Meet Gulmurod Khalimov, the US-trained and funded former
commander of Tajikistan's special forces, who, as
Reuters reports, has now gone to Syria to fight with ISIS. He has a
message: "Listen, you American pigs, I’ve been three times to
America, and I saw how you train fighters to kill Muslims...God willing, I
will come with this weapon to your cities, your homes, and we will kill you."
The big question is - was he 'recorded' as a moderate when
America considered funding and training his elite special forces unit?
[Los moderados que
ayer entrenamos y armamos empiezan a
rebelarse .. la pregunta es cuándo se rebelaran los que los entrenaron..

Admits Refunding Billions On Fake Tax Returns. Submitted by Tyler

Just
hours after being force to admit that they were hacked (by Russians apparently),
an
inspector general's report shows that The IRS has rather remarkably
continued to pay refunds on hundreds of thousands of fraudulent tax returns in
recent years, and sent dozens of checks to the same addresses, including in
Eastern Europe and elsewhere. While some progress has been made, $2.3
billion of real US taxpayer's money was wrongfully refunded to fake US
taxpayers... but with this new cyber-attack, we suspect that number will
soar.

3 Things:
Oil Trouble. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 05/29/2015
While it is likely oil prices could get a bit of a bump from
a decline in the U.S. dollar, ultimately it will come down to the fundamentals
longer term. It is quite clear that the speculative rise in oil prices due to
the "fracking miracle" has come to its inglorious, but
expected conclusion. What is interesting is that most have not figured
out that the same thing will occur with the artificially driven surge in
financial markets as well. It is quite apparent the some lessons are simply
never learned.

"Welcome To The Contraction": Q1 GDP Drops By 0.7%, Corporate Profits Crash. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/29/2015
And you thought the preliminary 0.2%
Q1 GDP print from last month was bad. Moments ago, just as we warned, the

adjustments of course), and we just got confirmation that for the third time in
the past four years, the US economy suffered a quarterly contraction, with
the Q1 GDP revised drastically from a 0.2% growth to a drop of -0.7%: the worst
print since snow struck, so very unexpectedly, last winter.

Another day, another stock market dump saved by another
Greece headline...
GREECE WILL MAKE JUNE 5 PAYMENT DUE TO IMF, GREEK ECONOMY
MINISTER STATHAKIS: REAL
The question is, what money will Greece use this time? They
already "borrowed" their IMF reserves to make the May 12 €750MM
payment to the IMF...
[ It is not agony, it is a game that no one wants to finish
because of its effects on the whole macro-system. Greece is one of the smallest box in
a big chinese box, the neo-liberal one .. Greece is the one that if smashed
make the whole macro system to collapse down .. IMF is one of the big boxes
that can be disintegrated if Greece is not kept inside the system .. above them
are other big boxes, the RU-China one vs the US-NATO .. they are ready to replace the IMF and its
whole macro box. .. Nobody can predict now
and with 100% certainty the effects of the Grexit .. but everybody know that it Greece remain in
the current Chinese box, their life as slavers won’t last longer, either chaos
or revolution will happens .. So, time and correlacion of forces in the current
financial & trade war are the critical factors that will decide the fate of
Greece.. The leaders of the Greece MOv have decided to wait and IMF is condemned
to wait too. .. Otherwise the whole Mediterranean, middle east and Europe will
be involved in the WW3 .. that is that NATO wanted. .. but the surprise could
come at the level of economics: a sudden crash of the neo-liberal market could
happen… at that time the US-NATO won’t be able to sustain one week of war ..
Germans & some EU countries may not want this scenery … but they cannot do much
to prevent it. … The other surprise
could be a pact between RU-China and Europe to assimilate Greece and Europe to
the new Chinese project .. The new Chinese box is being assembled fast at worldwide level. ..
So the pact of Europe with NATO will be dissolved & they have to abandon
Frankfurt station … Let’s wait and see what happens .. To me the best option is the new chinese box
with Europe and Greece in it. Inside, all of them have chances to rebuild their
countries.]

We did not actually need confirmation that global trade is

it was net trade (exports less imports) that subtracted -1.9% from the final
GDP print, driven by a -1.03% annualized drop in exports. This was the biggest
hit to US trade since thegreat financial crisis.

Consumer Sentiment Slumps To 6-Month Lows, Current Conditions Tumble. Submitted

Following
the collapse in Gallup's consumer confidence and Bloomberg's Consumer Comfort,
UMich Consumer Senitment printed 90.7 (against expectations of a rise to 89.5
from 95.9). With May's preliminary print the biggest miss in 17 months, this
final drop leaves Consumer Sentiment at its lowest since November 2014. Hope
dropped from 88.8 to 84.2 but it was the collapse in Current conditions - which
fell from 107 to 100.8 - that crushed the headline. This is the biggest
plunge in current conditions since Summer 2011 (the US debt downgrade).
Business expectations plunged to 8-month lows, employment expectations
tumbled... but the number who think it's a good time to buy a house rose.

month's modest (dead-cat) bounce back from winter's collapse to 6 year lows,
this re-collapse is hardly the kind of Q2-recovery-reinforcing data the
mainstream wants. With the level now back at the same when Lehman hit,

Is The Oil Glut
Real?. Submitted by Tyler

The age of propaganda is now upon us; where perception
trumps the truth, until that is, the house of cards burns and falls, which it
always does. With such blatant data manipulation going on, why shouldn’t we
question the extent of stated “glut” in oil? The longer perception is distorted
to create a false reality, the worse things will get in the end. We saw this
before in 1999/2000 with the internet bubble and in 2008/2009 with the housing
bubble, and it will not end well. If producers are dumb enough to get roped
in to turning the spigot on when oil does rise (just as they appear to have
done this morning) then, once again, prices won’t hold.

Europe’s Schengen zone celebrates its 30th anniversary this year. It allows citizens
of 26 European Union countries to travel and
go through immigration or border controls without passports or visa checks.
For many, it is one of the EU’s greatest achievements. Long
queues are now a thing of the past for millions of travellers as they can drive
or fly through customs unrestricted. That ease of passage, however, has also
allowed criminals to boost their activities, and the very real threat of
attacks by extremists has forced governments to act.
The migration crisis in the Mediterranean also highlights
the difficulties of policing the EU’s external borders. This week On the Frontline examines
whether Schengen is still a good deal for Europe.
