Is Confused: If The Economy Is Recovering, Then How Is This Possible. Submitted
by Tyler Durden on 08/04/2015
"The share of young people living with their
parents--which rose sharply during the recession and its aftermath--finally
began to decline in 2014. But over the last six months, this decline seems
to have stalled. We find that the share of young people living with their
parents has increased relative to pre-recession rates for all labor force
status groups, not just the unemployed and underemployed." - Goldman
Sachs
[ The crisis of the neoliberal system is undeniable .. As in “TheGrapesofWrath” from John
Steinbeck , any crisis brings up two contradictory feelings, strong humanism
in one side and evilness or total disrespect for humanity, in the other
side. .. The human part of this crisis is that families that use to live in a
nuclear system, start going back to the extend family system where parents and
children live together in a house.. this family system has many positive sides
.. among them, in education & binding the nation together. The evil side doesn’t deserve comments .. We see it every day .. in
rampant speculation and frauds at the
level of economic and total disrespect
for human rights at socio-political level ]

Farrakhan Urges Black Community To "Rise Up And Kill Those Who Kill

convert America in other Iraq .. Old dogmas are obsolete]
"The Koran teaches persecution is worse than slaughter.
Then it says, retaliation is prescribed in matters of the slain. Retaliation is
a prescription from God to calm the breaths of those whose children have been
slain. So if the federal government will not intercede in our affairs, then
we must rise up and kill those who kill us. Stalk them and kill them and let
them feel the pain of death that we are feeling."

Live, We Sleep: A Dictatorship Disguised As A Democracy. S- by Tyler
Durden on 08/04/2015
We’re living in two worlds, you and I. There’s the
world we see (or are made to see) and then there’s the one we sense (and
occasionally catch a glimpse of), the latter of which is a far cry from the
propaganda-driven reality manufactured by the government and its corporate
sponsors, including the media. Indeed, what most Americans perceive as life
in America - privileged, progressive and free - is a far cry from reality,
where economic inequality is growing, real agendas and real power are buried
beneath layers of Orwellian doublespeak and corporate obfuscation, and
“freedom,” such that it is, is meted out in small, legalistic doses by
militarized police armed to the teeth. All is not as it seems.

Chinese
Stock Short Squeeze Stalls After IMF Delays Decision On Yuan SDR Inclusion.
S by Tyler Durden on 08/04/15.
The IMF's decision to delay inclusion of Yuan in the SDR
pending a review in September 2016. Though this will be a disappointment to
the Chinese, the door is still open though given waringse from BMW and Toyota
over "normalizing" auto sales, the market problems may be morphing
quickly into economic problems.
[All lies we have being
listening on China has this purpose: to create a new dollar as SDR (IMF)

Russia
Ready To Send Paratroopers To Syria. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 08/04/2015
There is indeed a geopolitical chess match going on here
that will have far-reaching consequences when the blood and dust settle, but it
has nothing to do with ISIS’ far-fetched quest to establish a Medieval
caliphate and everything to do with installing a government in Syria that will
be more friendly to the interests of the West and its Middle Eastern allies.
Not wanting to miss an opportunity to justify what would
otherwise be a rather brash declaration, Russia is reportedly ready to send in
the paratroopers should Syria request Moscow’s help in battling terrorist
elements. Here’s more via
Tass:
The Russian Airborne Troops
are ready to assist Syria in countering terrorists, if such a task is set by
Russia’s leaders, commander of the Airborne Troops Colonel-General Vladimir
Shamanov told reporters on Tuesday.
It’s now only a question of political will and as we’ve
outlined on a few occasions recently, it’s not entirely clear how much
longer Vladimir Putin is willing to support Bashar al-Assad in the face of the
debilitating, Saudi-engineered slump in crude prices and the biting economic
sanctions imposed on the Kremlin by Europe.
[ At least this speculation destroy the myth that Russia is abandoning
the Assad regimen, BUT .. it feed the US war mongerism based on the idea that everything will be solved via nuclear confrontation
between RU-China.. vs the US and NATO allies

"You're

The reality might just be that the collective
"we," and quite possibly sooner than we think, really will need a
bigger boat. That is, as it pertains to the global debt markets, which have
swollen past the $200 trillion mark this year rendering the great white featured
in Jaws which can be equated with past debt markets as defenseless and small as
a small, striped Nemo by comparison. The question for the ages will be
whether size really does matter when it comes to the debt markets...

The truly incredible thing about US foreign policy outcomes

Washington’s uncanny ability to paint itself into policy corners and create the

knows absolutely no bounds.

Just
days after China bans Citadel (and its high frequency trading) from trading
Chinese markets, US Treasury and Federal Reserve officials have been forced
to admit they "need to consider whether the race for speed, at this
already advanced stage, helps or hurts market functioning." As WSJ
reports, Fed governor Jerome Powell and Antonio Weiss, a senior counselor to
U.S. Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew, said Monday that the government should
re-evaluate the structure of U.S. markets in light of recent events. They are
growing more concerned about signs that financial markets have grown more
volatile with the growth of fast trading. As
Weiss concludes, "the constant pursuit to save one more
millisecond not only consumes resources potentially better invested elsewhere,
but increases the pressure on the plumbing of the system to handle
ever-increasing speeds and messaging traffic." The pre-emptive
blame-mongery is beginning...

The American system of government is nothing like what we
are told in school and via the oligarch-owned mainstream media. The country
has become so captured and corrupted by sociopathic oligarchs, that a neo-feudal
modern serfdom is emerging where the opportunities to enjoy rising standards of
living for the vast majority of people was rapidly becoming a pipe dream. The
Dark Ages almost look democratic by comparison.

Consumer Spending Declines For Third Consecutive Month, Down 5 Of Past 7 Months.

For those who prefer unbiased, accurately reported data, it
should come as no surprise to those who have been observing the recent swoon in
the economy, that
according to Gallup data, July was the third month in a row in which the
average American spent less than they did in the same month a year ago, confirming
that the US economy is if not in a recession then certainly no longer growing. Furthermore,
as the chart below shows and confirms the already week retail spending data, of
the 7 months in 2015, 5 have seen a decline in consumer spending year over year.

After trading limit-down on Monday when Greek stocks opened
for trading for the first time since PM Alexis Tsipras called a referendum,
shares of Greek banks once again flirted with the daily 30% loss limit on
Tuesday as there were simply no bids for a set of institutions that everyone
knows is insolvent. Meanwhile, Kathimerini reports that "the state’s
losses from indirect taxes alone in the first couple of weeks of capital controls
and the shuttering of banks [amounted to] more than half a billion euros."

Durden on 08/04/2015
After a lukewarm start by the Chinese "market",
which had dropped for the past 6 out of 7 days despite ever escalating measures
by Beijing to manipulate stocks higher, finally the Shanghai Composite reacted
favorably to Chinese micromanagement of stock prices and closed 3.7% higher as
Chinese regulators stepped up their latest measures by adjusting rules on short-selling
in order to reduce trading frequency and price volatility, resulting in
several large brokerages suspending short sell operations. At this pace
only buy orders will soon be legal which just may send the farce of what was
once a "market" limit up.
