Is Upon Us - "Schools Assess Students' Threat Level" From
Kindergarten Up. by

Minority Report, eat your heart out. The real system
is worse than anyone could have imagined.
By now, everybody knows that the NSA and a host of other
alphabet agencies are spying on Americans, collecting virtually every piece of
communications data they exchange, regardless of whether or not they are “doing
anything wrong.”
But what are they doing with it?
Apart from its value in consumer and marketing fields, the data is used to create “threat assessments” and put a black
mark on the record of anyone who the authorities deem troublesome that will
follow them throughout their career, and make it harder for individuals to get
a job, qualify for a loan, travel, or enjoy the rights of a (now once) free
society.
The idea, unfortunately, is to implement this
watch-and-flag surveillance grid across the system at every level, and with
every institution that people must participate in.
… And by treating everyone as a criminal before they even
do anything, it probably creates a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Every student is being PROFILED and given a risk
assessment rating, according to the
Secret Services article titled “Evaluating Risk For Targeted Violence In
Schools: Comparing Risk Assessment, Threat Assessment and Other Approaches.”
What’s really being
said is police and school administrators can put your kid(s) into mental health
counseling which will follow them throughout their adult lives! Oddly there
isn’t any mention of the school-to-prison pipeline!
In adulthood, police departments and private employers are now also using
threat assessment scores to profile
and target against individuals who have raised red flags.
This system will create a society of compliance and
fearful people, not a free society free of crime and trouble.
Whether or not this
system can actually prevent crime remains unproven, but its ability to tarnish
the record of individuals and place entire populations under preemptive
suspicion is certain… and likely dangerous.

Now that the AIIB and the BRICS bank have officially

will the yuan play a key role for both institutions, but in fact, the two
development banks will collaborate on their lending activities.

Venezuela’s hyperinflation is reaching its final stages.
It is probably already far too late for the government to stop the complete
collapse of its currency. The bolivar is in the process of transforming from a
medium of exchange to tinder for wood-stoves. Venezuelans who had the
presence of mind to convert their savings into gold or foreign currency in good
time are likely to survive the conflagration intact. Governments never seem
to learn. They all believe they can somehow overrule economic laws by diktat.
This is not only true of Venezuela’s government, but of practically every
government in today’s world. Central planning of money has been adopted
everywhere. Venezuela merely shows us what the end game for every
fiat money system looks like.

Hillary
Agrees To Testify Publicly Over Benghazi Deaths. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 07/25/2015
With
the FBI and DoJ now involved in yet another Hillary Clinton scandal - that
she sent confidential emails from her personal email server - it seems the
'presidential' former Secretary of State has felt pressured to come somewhat
clean. While some might argue "what difference does it make?" The
Washington Post reports that Hillary Rodham Clinton will testify on Oct.
22 before the House select committee investigating her role in connection with
the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi, Libya. The testimony - before the
committee formed last year - will be in a open setting (apparently against the
wishes for privacy that committee chairman, Rep. Trey Gowdy initially
requested).

The US Syrian policy forces Ankara to walk a fine line
between ISIS, Assad’s regime, Kurds, the US and its own interest. We will not
rule out that Erdo?an could declare a state of emergency and postpone
new elections. Whatever the result of the power struggle in Ankara may be,
Turkey’s military will not accept the YPG and PKK armed to the teeth by
the US.

Banks Rig Currency Markets
It has long been known that currency markets are massively rigged. And see this, this, and this. Indeed, not only do the banks share
confidential information with each other … they also shared it with a giant oil company.
A number of giant banks pleaded guilty to manipulating
currency markets, and agreed to pay a $7.5 billion dollar fine. New York’s
state financial regulator called it “a brazen ‘heads I win, tails
you lose’ scheme to rip off their clients.”
The formal admissions by the banks include a trader saying, “We trying to
manipulate it a bit more in ny now . . . a coupld buddies of mine and I.” And a
vice president of a big bank said:
- “If you aint cheating, you aint trying.”
Derivatives Are Manipulated
Runaway derivatives – especially credit default swaps (CDS) – were one of the main causes of the 2008 financial crisis. Congress never fixed the problem, and actually made it worse.The big banks have long manipulated derivatives … a $1,200 Trillion Dollar market.
Indeed, many trillions of dollars of derivatives are being manipulated in the exact same same way that interest rates are fixed (see below) … through gamed self-reporting.
Energy Prices Manipulated
Energy markets are manipulated as well …
For example, oil prices have been manipulated for many years.
And the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission says that
JP Morgan has massively
manipulated energy markets in California and the Midwest, obtaining tens of
millions of dollars in overpayments from grid operators between September 2010
and June 2011.
Commodities Are Manipulated
The big banks and government agencies have been conspiring to
manipulate commodities prices for decades.
The big banks are taking over
important aspects of the physical economy – including uranium
mining, petroleum products, aluminum, ownership and operation of airports, toll
roads, ports, and electricity – to manipulate market prices.
And they are using these physical assets to massively
manipulate commodities prices … scalping consumers of many billions of dollars each
year. (More from Matt Taibbi, FDL and Elizabeth Warren.)
Gold and Silver Are Manipulated
Reuters reports:
Swiss regulator FINMA said on
Wednesday that it found a “clear attempt” to manipulate precious metals
benchmarks during its investigation into precious metals and foreign
exchange trading at UBS …
Interest Rates Are Manipulated
Bloomberg reported
Everything Can Be Manipulated through High-Frequency
Trading
Traders with high-tech computers can manipulate stocks, bonds, options, currencies
and commodities. And see this.
Manipulating Numerous Markets In Myriad Ways
The big banks and other giants manipulate numerous markets in myriad ways,
The Big Picture
The experts say that big
banks will keep manipulating markets unless and until their executives are
thrown in jail for fraud.
