Russian
Military Forces Arrive In Syria, Set Forward Operating Base Near Damascus.
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 08/31/2015
According to Western diplomats (sick..), a RUSSIAN
expeditionary force has already ARRIVED in Syria and set up camp in an
Assad-controlled airbase. The base is said to be in area surrounding
Damascus, and will serve, for all intents and purposes, as a Russian
forward operating base. In the coming weeks thousands of Russian military
personnel are set to touch down in Syria, including advisors, instructors,
logistics personnel, technical personnel, members of the aerial protection
division, and the pilots who will operate the aircraft.
[ To feed de army & foster military-patriotism & war
mogerism in the US we use to say “Russian are coming” .. since the launching of
the Sputnik Russians were coming and we had to be armed against them … today
this xenophobic anti-Russian attitude got its highest point & RUSSIAN ARRIVED
is the sick mentality … so the US must send more military to Syria and continue
killing innocent people to get the aim of “regime change” .. If the Russians really
sent Lavrov’s assistant to Syria then we are in the road not to foster
diplomatic talk .. but confrontation with the US.. will Russia eat this crap? .. We do. ]

… the Federal Reserve has become, not an organ of stability or even expertise
but a public relations effort aimed squarely at trying to convince everyone
possible that it is. Given the unique circumstances at the
moment, the real issue is not
whether they might raise rates but just how much systemic misdirection has
already been revealed even to the least attentive of people.

There’s no question
that the world economy has been shaky at best since the crash of 2008. Yet,
politicians, central banks, et al., have, since then, regularly announced that “things
are picking up.” One year, we hear an announcement of “green
shoots.” The next year, we hear an announcement of “shovel-ready jobs.” And
yet, year after year, we witness the continued economic slump. Few
dare call it a depression, but, if a depression can be defined as “a period of
time in which most people’s standard of living drops significantly,” a
depression it is.

When
Every Option In The Financial System Is Grounded In Absurdity, It's Time To
Look Elsewhere. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 08/31/2015
The fundamentals for the US dollar are terrible, but
people keep dumping money into it like trained monkeys simply because nothing
else in financial markets makes any sense. This perception of 'safety' is based on a complete myth - every
credible fundamental suggests that the dollar is dangerously overvalued; but if
not the US dollar, then which currency is the safe haven? The euro is garbage,
the Chinese are fighting a depression, Japan is a disaster. And that’s
precisely the point. When every option in the financial system is
grounded in absurdity, the only solution is to start looking for safety outside
of it.

Say
Goodbye To Normal - We're Going Medieval, Submitted by Tyler Durden on 08/31/2015
The tremors
rattling markets are not exactly what they seem to be. A meme prevails
that these movements represent a kind of financial peristalsis - regular
wavelike workings of eternal progress toward an epic more of
everything, especially profits! You can forget the supposedly
“normal” cycles of the techno-industrial arrangement, which means,
in particular, the business cycle of the standard economics textbooks. Those
cycle are dying. They’re dying because there really are Limits to
Growth and we are now solidly in grips of those limits. READ ALSO: Economics

… the globe,

seeing budgets go deeply in the red, Greece and the other insolvent southern
European countries nearing collapse and tensions rising between Russia, Europe

bubblevision assertions that the worst is behind us is false. They will insist
all is well until you’ve lost half your net worth. When fear overtakes

"It is estimated that sub-Saharan Africa will have
900 million more inhabitants in the next twenty years. Of these, at
least 200 million are young people looking for work. The chaos of their
countries of origin will push them further north." That is
the future. It will no more go away by itself, and by ignoring it, than the
present crisis, which, devastating as it may be, pales in comparison. Europe
risks being overrun in the next two decades.

World oil production
is about 90 million barrels a day, representing a cash flow of about nine
billion dollars a day which comes down to three trillion dollars a year. With
the oil price 40 to 50% lower, this flow is also cut by 40 to 50%. This amounts
to 10% US GDP. Compare it with the 0.5% growth we are now missing in
China, we prefer to keep our eyes on the oil price.These extreme moves
can not be without consequence.

Citi
Admits The Truth: "If The Market Drops 10%, The Fed Will Most Likely Not
Hike". Submitted by Tyler Durden on 08/31/2015 [ .. Because of Circular
Logic works
]
The market has already delivered its verdict swiftly in the
face of the global equity market correction– reducing substantially the
probability of a rate hike in September, and pricing in a full rate hike only
by March next year. We assign a higher probability than the market for a lift
off in September but acknowledge that the risk has shifted towards later… we
hold on.. that we initiated two weeks ago. "Data dependency” over
the next couple of weeks might really mean “equity market dependency”. If the
equity market drops 10%, the Fed will most likely not hike, no matter what the
payrolls data is.

China
Dramatically Intervenes To Boost Stocks Despite Reports It Won't; US Futtures
Slump On J-Hole. Submitted
by Tyler Durden on 08/31/2015
Yesterday, the FT triumphantly proclaimed: "Beijing
abandons large-scale share purchases", and that instead of
manipulating stocks directly as China did last week on Thursday and Friday,
China would instead focus on punishing sellers, shorters, and various other
entities. We snickered, especially after the Shanghai Composite opened down 2%
and dropped as low as 4% overnight. Just a few hours later we found out that
our cynical skepticism was again spot on: the moment the afternoon trading
session opened, the "National Team's" favorite plunge protection
trade, the SSE 50 index of biggest companies, went super-bid and ramped from a
low of 2071 to close 140 points higher, ending trading with a last minute
government-facilitated surge, and pushing the Composite just 0.8% lower after
trading down as much as -4.0%.
