An
Xmas Message From Satan - "Ignorance, My Poor Dear Americans, Will Not
Save You" by Charles Hugh-Smith of OfTwoMind
blog,. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/20/2015
[ IT IS NOT GOD BUT SATAN WHO BLESS AMERICAN in this XMAS !!
] Read this
"My minions in the Federal Reserve - such loyal
servants! - continue feeding an orgy of leverage and debt, spreading ruination
under the false guise of prosperity. What a delicious irony, that the fools
doomed to eternal damnation in my Empire believe themselves prosperous as they
absorb the poison of exponentially rising leverage and debt." www.zerohedge.com
EXTRACTS
Through means I am unable to disclose, I have obtained a
copy of the Devil's Christmas letter. Yes, Satan too sends a Yule letter,
and no, I was not on his mailing list. I think Satan's Holiday cheer should
give us all pause.
..
"To my fallen angels Beelzebub, Lucifer and
Leviathan, princes of Hell's demons, and to my minions, lackeys, toadies and
sycophants on Earth:
..
Due to the high cost of postage, please accept this miserly
digital version of my holiday missive.
My minions in the Federal Reserve - such loyal servants!
- continue feeding an orgy of leverage and debt, spreading ruination under the
false guise of prosperity. What a delicious irony, that the fools doomed to
eternal damnation in my Empire believe themselves prosperous as they absorb the
poison of exponentially rising leverage and debt.
..
One of my favorite sins, gluttony, is running amok, with
half of the people groaning under their own weight, sickened and weakened. My
loyal minions in the fast-food and packaged food industries have followed my
plans to perfection, and my lackeys in the marketing and media have fueled the
instant gratification and ignorance which insidiously undermine even the
greatest empires.
..
Anger is now overflowing everywhere, building my empire
with every thoughtless word. Politicians rage against each other, the
people rage against the politicians, and behind the scenes my servants in the
political action committees feed the anger with billions of dollars in campaign
donations. How amusing to see the politicos lay claim to noble ideals even as
they scramble on their knees to collect the millions tossed at their feet to do
my bidding.
..
Oh yes, my bidding, for their greed, pride and anger are my
bidding. By all means, politicians, do my work: give tax breaks to the
ultra-wealthy, let financial crimes go unpunished, allow the financial Elites'
looting to go unhindered, transfer the wealth earned by the citizens' sweat to
the financial Elites when their trillion-dollar bets go bad--fuel the anger
which will tear you from power, and tear the country apart.
This chart of rising wealth inequality warms my heart,
for it will foment revolution as night follows day.
..
The nation bleeds itself with unwinnable wars,
sacrificing its youth on the altar of endless war--how can I not rejoice at
this orgy of death, destruction and sowing of hate? The feeble liars at the
nation's helm print endless sums to fund war and to prop up vile tyrants, but
offer nothing for libraries or literacy or the curing of malaria. How can I not
rejoice at a nation which finds trillions for war and next to nothing to fight
the diseases of the poor residents of former colonies, including that Prince of
Disease, ignorance.
If ignorance were treasure, the American political class
must be declared wealthier than Midas, for its ignorance and hubris have
reached a pinnacle I can truly admire.
..
The people cry out to be saved by the government, as if
it was a Savior instead of a vast machine consolidating the wealth of the
nation in the hands of the few at the expense of the many,
"investing" it in corruption, parasitic financial schemes, military
misadventures, Homeland "Security"--ha, isn't that a jewel, as the
nation withers from within--and the unyielding oppression of the remaining
productive members of society.
..
The leaders are themselves leaderless, blank,
hollowed-out souls doing the bidding of their parasitic masters, focused
only on keeping the corrupt and venal status quo together for a few more
months, never looking out ten years. Political expediency is my favored tool,
and it is now the default mode of the nation's corrupted political class.
..
For the U.S.A. is now an Empire of Debt and Lies, its
fraudulent financial system built on misrepresentations of risk and value, and
its economy a con game based on illusory wealth, parasitic skimming, and
government protection of privilege.
..
And here is the beautifully evil part, my minions--no
external enemy is required. The Americans are destroying themselves with
their reliance on leverage, debt, denial, half-truths and overflowing servings
of the Seven Deadly Sins, all of which they have elevated to "assets"
in their hopelessly twisted values. To be supremely unproductive, a churner of
lies and financial trickery, is now the most rewarded and admired state in
America.
..
The spiritual rot is now so deep and pervasive that the
people no longer even recognize the decay--they have been lulled into a
false belief that this culture of fraud, embezzlement, manipulations,
propaganda and parasitic financial Elites has always held sway. This is
precisely how a people act when they have lost their way, spiritually and
morally: they elevate sins to virtues, and forget the lessons of their past.
..
Ignorance, my poor dear Americans, will not save you,
nor will your endless parade of excuses, justifications and rationalizations.
Indeed, they are my weapons which you drive deeper into your nation's heart
with every lie, every excuse, every frantic justification for your own
entitlement.
..
I await 2016 with high expectations.
Most sincerely yours,
Satan

Wait
A Minute... Why Is The Fed Continuing QE? Posted by : Secular Investor
. Post date: 12/20/2015 –
“So, everything is going great in the US economy, uh?! “
Brief extract:
“It wasn’t a big surprise for the financial markets to see
the Federal Reserve hike the interest rate by 0.25% last week, and the stock
market moved swiftly higher on the back of this announcement which has removed
some uncertainty.
..
The first step to try to convince the world (and probably
themselves as well) the American economy is doing just fine has been made, but
we aren’t confident to see additional steps anytime soon.” www.zerohedge
…
Will Real Estate take a whack as we move into higher
interest rates?
·
Higher interest rates will put pressure on Real
Estate buyers by making mortgages more expensive.
- How
much more expensive will a mortgage be?
- How did Real Estate prices fair with previous regimes of higher interest rates.
Why would the Real
Estate market take a hit?
..
The fear now is that higher interest rates will stifle the
property market. Well that is indeed a risk, which also means it might not
happen. It would certainly be the case if interest rates rise faster than the
market can assimilate. If the Fed keeps raising interest rates and the economy
cannot keep up at the same pace then we could see a large slowdown in the
demand for houses from individuals and institutions.
..
[ Summing up..]
We are not bound to see prices fall rapidly or even stall
for sure. But what will be necessary for the property market to continue its
buoyant price levels, is an economy strong enough to adjust to the higher
interest rate regime.
..
If the economy is expanding rapidly it will be absolutely
necessary to raise interest rates, and it will be easily absorbed. If the Fed
decides however that the transition back to more typical interest rates is to
be made despite an economy that is not expanding fast enough, then we might see
prices falter.

Abruptly Waives 1980 Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act. by
Gordon T. Long of the Financial Repression Authority.
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/20/2015
“FIRPTA was implemented during a better era for
Americans in response to international investors in the late 1980s
and early 1990s buying U.S. farmland, as well as the more publicly visible
buying of trophy U.S. property by the Japanese. The US government has now
expediently waived FIRPTA.” www.zerohedge
EXTRACTS:
President Barack Obama signed into law a measure easing a
35-year-old tax on foreign investment in U.S. real estate, potentially opening
the door to greater purchases by overseas investors, a major source of capital
since the financial crisis.
..
..
Contained in the $1.1 trillion spending measure that was
passed to avoid a government shutdown is a provision that treats
foreign pension funds the same as their U.S. counterparts for real estate
investments.
..
The provision waives the
tax imposed on such investors under the 1980 Foreign Investment in Real
Property Tax Act, known as FIRPTA.
..
Warning
..
The FRA predicts that Americans will face significant
increases in US property taxes over the next five years starting in 2016. With
the change in FIRPTA Americans should additionally expect property
values to increase in 2016-2017.
..
Clearly, foreigners, the “1%” and property owners will all
gain from this, but most Americans will simply face significantly increasing
property taxes on elevated asset values to fund the ever increasing government
debt burden.
..
Americans owning a house can be expected to initially
focus on their net worth being higher, and not that they once again
will have even less disposable income. Some will learn painfully why the
number one killer of small business is cash flow, not profits..

Saudi
Arabia: The Source Of Islamic Radicalism. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 12/20/2015
Al-Qaeda inspired terrorism is a threat to the Western
countries but the Islamic countries are encountering a much bigger threat of
inter-sectarian conflict. For centuries the Sunni and Shi’a Muslims have
coexisted in relative peace throughout the Islamic World but now certain
vested interests are deliberately stoking the fire of inter-sectarian strife to
distract attention away from the Home Front: that is, the popular movements for
democracy and enfranchisement in the Arab World.

Obama
Finally Commits To Putin's Syrian Policy - Yet Continues Violating It.
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/19/2015
The basic policy-difference on Syria has been between U.S.
President Barack Obama’s insistence that Syria’s legal President must be ousted
before any peace-process starts, versus Russian President Vladimir Putin’s
insistence that no foreign power possesses the right to determine whom the
leader of Syria or any other country will or won’t be - only the residents
there do, via free and fair democratic elections. Putin proposes an
internationally monitored and verified election in Syria to determine the
identity of Syria’s President; Obama has rejected that proposal - until now.

CISA: “JUST
ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF CORRUPTION”. Posted
on December 20, 2015 by WashingtonsBlog
. Last week, Congress passed CISA by hiding
it in the middle of a sure-to-pass spending bill, and Obama signed it
into law … even though the Department of Homeland Security had previously said
that the bill will HURT
national security and destroy privacy (numerous experts agreed).
And – just like with previous spying laws – the government has a secret
interpretation of CISA which will make it even worse.
So why was the bill passed?
As the American
public is starting to learn – and politicians
from both side of the aisle admit – corruption
has thoroughly destroyed America.
