[ I wanted to buy a new computer last week.. but on Monday the
prices were doubled. I decided not to buy.. What choices I have? First, get in amazon a used one with warrantee
for 2 years with return label attached; and/ or go to a repair center or warehouse to buy one, same warrantee. 2nd choice: wait until prices
collapse and store offer 75% discount because of getting out of business ..

"What can we do?"
The Road to Peace is Difficult
The implication of the Wolfowitz Doctrine is that Russia
must be destroyed.
This implies our own
destruction.
What can be done to restore peace? Obviously, the EU must abandon NATO
and declare that Washington is a greater threat than Russia. Without NATO
Washington has no cover for its aggression and no military bases with which to
surround Russia.
In order to restore peace, the neoconservatives must be
removed from foreign policy positions in the government and media. This
means that Victoria Nuland must be removed as Assistant Secretary of State,
that Susan Rice must be removed as National Security Adviser, that Samantha
Power must be removed as US UN ambassador.
The warmonger neoconservatives must be removed from Fox
‘News,’ CNN, the New York Times, Washington Post, and Wall Street Journal, and
in their places independent voices must replace propagandists for war.
Clearly, none
of this is going to happen, but it must if we are to escape armageddon.
The prescription for
peace and prosperity is sound. The question is: Can we implement it?

Iran
Refuses UN Inspector Access To Scientists, Caught Trying To "Clean
Up" Suspected Nuclear Site. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 08/05/2015
Surprise! In what must be the most predictable
geopolitical event in recent days, WSJ
reports that Iran has refused to let United Nations inspectors interview
key scientists and military officers to investigate allegations Tehran maintained
a covert nuclear-weapons program.
[ Not surprise at all: the hidden agenda in the US plan was to neutralize Iran
with the diplomatic bla bla. Get info about their capacity to respond to the
current attack on Syria and in this way, to facilitate their next attack on Iran .. So,
everything goes according to plan= no surprise .. US
& NATO allies are now destroying Syria.. Does Iran have the right to say
that such inspection violates the Pact? YES .. eso
es lo que los latinos llamamos derecho al pataleo .. cuando al reo lo cuelgan
de un árbol.. el reo tiene derecho a patalear, a mover la patas .. NO a defender
su vida ni a romper la cuerda.. In my view, Iran has this right to get out from
the rope & defend their life under threat, .. a menos que siga creyendo que
el imperio es su amigo, su aliado, su partner.. in such case, it deserves its “destiny” ]

Japan's
Dire Message To Yellen: "Don't Raise Rates Soon". Submitted
by Tyler Durden on 08/05/2015
There are so many parallels between the current
period since 2007 in the U.S. (The Great Recession), the period since 1990 in
Japan (Japan’s 2+ lost decades), and the period after 1929 in the US (The Great
Depression) because they are all periods of a ‘balance-sheet recession’ (or
similarly, ‘secular stagnation'; that it is next to impossible to dismiss the
comparison. Using this, there is an important lesson for the Fed to
consider now in weighing whether to raise rates.

Police
Officer Caught On Tape Discussing "Ways To Kill A Black Man And Cover It
Up". Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 08/05/2015
In many instances, the killings took place in "less
than ordinary course", usually involving the police officer making a rash
judgment that cost the victim their life, and in many cases shooting without a
clear cause. But the worst example of what is increasingly, and broadly,
referred to as "police brutality", are cases such as that of
Alexander City officer Troy Middlebrooks, was, as NBC reports, was "caught
on a secret recording discussing ways to kill a black man and cover it up."

"The United States is on the brink of making

will be known for being a cyber bully and will have to shoulder
responsibility for escalating confrontation and disrupting the peaceful order

Six Warning Signs That The Economy Is In Trouble. by Tony Sagami via MauldinEconomics.com, Submitted by Tyler Durden on 08/05/2015
[The neoliberal system cannot increase more.. this is a cul d’sac ]
The best time to prepare for trouble... is before trouble
arrives.
On July 14, I wrote
about the danger developing in the transportation sector, and things are
looking even worse today. Here’s what I mean:
Look Out Below #1: Royal Dutch Shell reported its quarterly results last week—$3.4 billion,
down from $5.1 billion for the same quarter a year ago—and warned that “today’s
oil price downturn could last for several years.”
Look Out Below #2: UPS is a very good barometer of the consumer end of our economy: It’s
the largest component of the Dow Jones Transportation Average both by sales and
market valuation.
Look Out Below #3: Rolls Royce may be best known for its luxury limousines, but the heart
of its business is making engines for jet airplanes. Along with General
Electric, the company dominates the aerospace engine business.
Look Out Below #4: The reason Rolls Royce is suffering is that the airborne freight market
is shrinking. While the passenger cabins you and I sit in may be full, the
belly of the plane where the cargo freight is held is growing increasingly
empty.
Look Out Below #5: The trans-ocean freight business isn’t doing any better; the number of
idle container ships has increased two months in a row.
Look Out Below #6: The reason why all these transportation companies are struggling is that
global trade is simply shrinking.

Ex-Im Casualty: Boeing Loses Deal Due To "Credit Woes". by Tyler
Durden on 08/05/2015
Boeing, whose
Chairman Jim McNerney says the demise of the Export Import bank amounts to
"craziness", lost a contract worth several hundred million dollars
last month, after the buyer backed out citing credit concers related to the
expiration of the Depression-era institution's charter. Now, Boeing and GE
alike are threatening to move American jobs overseas if Congress fails to renew
the authorization for what some commentators call "a vast, well-funded
network of consultants, lobbyists and big-government interest groups."

June Trade Deficit Surges 7% To $43.8 Billion As Strong Dollar Slams Exports,
Imports Rise. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 08/05/2015
Dear Fed: behold
another example of why your ludicrous rate hike ideas will crush the economy.
Moments ago the BEA reported that the June international trade deficit spiked
by 7.1% from $40.9 billion in May (revised) to $43.8 billion in June, as
exports decreased and imports increased. The previously published May
deficit was $41.9 billion. The goods deficit increased $2.9 billion from May to
$63.5 billion in June. The services surplus decreased less than $0.1 billion
from May to $19.7 billion in June.

Why
Apple Is Falling Again: Bank of America Cuts AAPL From Buy To Neutral, Lowers
Price Target. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 08/05/2015
Curious why after
its massive drubbing yesterday, which led to the second highest volume day for
AAPL stock in 2015, the phone market is down another 1.3% this morning? The
reason: Wall Street's momentum chasing penguins have re-emerged, and moments
ago Bank of America, right on time as in just after the stock broke its 200 DMA
and entered a correction, decided to downgrade AAPL from Buy to Neutral,
lowering its price target from $142 to $130.
