al-Murabitoun and al-Qaeda on a Mali hotel in November. Al-Qaeda in the Islamic
Maghreb (AQIM) claimed it was behind the attack. Last month, the group
announced it had merged with AQIM & the veteran Algerian militant Mokhtar Belmokhtar, the
commander who fought Soviet forces in Afghanistan in the 1980s. AQIM and
al-Murabitoun said they were behind an attack on a hotel in Burkina Faso's
neighbour Mali in November, that left 20 people dead. (http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-35330169

based in the Sahara desert in northern Mali and contains fighters loyal to the

The
World’s Most Famous Case Of Hyperinflation (Part 1). Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/15/16:
[ There are chances of hyper-inflation in the US, it could
happens if a sudden cut of the current
US cycle of wars is set (if war-manufacture-machinery stops), that could lead to hyperinflation. So peace has its costs and past history
have its lessons to consider. Hyperinflation is set when prices increases 50% per month.
Such rapid inflation not merely makes money useless as a store of value, but
seriously affects its use “as a medium of exchange” and greatly disrupts
productive economic activity. It happens after periods of war, like the WW1 in
Germany.
“Just two calendar years after the
end of the war, the Papiermark was worth 10% of its original value. By the end
of 1923, it took 1 trillion Papiermarks to buy a single Goldmark. Just two
calendar years after the end of the war, the Papiermark was worth 10% of its
original value. By the end of 1923, it took 1 trillion Papiermarks to buy a
single Goldmark. All cash savings had lost their value, and the prudent
German middleclass savers were inexplicably punished.” http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-01-15/world%E2%80%99s-most-famous-case-hyperinflation-part-1
..
..
I repeat: It is expected a
sudden cut of the current US cycle of wars (if war-manufacture-machinery stops),
that could lead to hyperinflation. So peace has its costs and past history have its lessons: Germany curtailed hyper-inflation successfully.

Oil, War,
& Drastic Global Change. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 01/15/2016: The consequences of all this will be felt all over
the world, and for a long time to come. All of our economic systems run on
oil, so many jobs are related to it, so many ‘fields’ in the economy, and no,
things won’t get easier when oil is at $20 or $10, it’ll be a disaster of
biblical proportions, like a swarm of locusts that leaves precious little
behind. Squeeze oil and you squeeze the entire economic system. That’s
what all the ‘low oil prices are great for the economy’ analysts missed (many
still do). Entire nations will
undergo drastic changes in leadership and prosperity.
[ This “disaster of biblical proportions” remains me THE ARC OF
NOAH. Before the disaster he manage to save all the animals that could suffer
the effects of a flood or diluvium coming .. What should be saved from the
collapse in process of our neoliberal systems? .. FDR did it but his work was
betrayed in the 1985 with Washington consensus and by Clinton when he
suppressed the Glass-Steagal Act .. How to restored and preserve productive capitalism & State own enterprises who serve the
working classes and common people?. How
to eliminate the parasites of the system, the bankers and mafia speculators,
and preserve all that count as State social responsibility with the nation? ]

the whole liberal system into the chaos and collapse we are experiencing now.
Those evil individuals planned twice this collapse (Washington Consensus and
PNAC) and we got now the chaos we are in. The story tells of Misses and Hayek
only served to kill the middle classes in America & to ruin the future of
emerging economies since they start their experiment in Chile (1970) with
Pinochet under the supervision of Milton Friedman and the School of Chicago (experiment
blessed by the IMF and WB). This failed neo-liberal experiment is over and
their theoretical mentors Misses & Hayek are only story-tellers, liars and
deceptive scholars. Read Joseph

Weekend
Reading: Breaking Markets - Season II. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/15/2016.: “Fed Chair Janet Yellen will be forced to
either acknowledge labor market tightening .. or sounds of warning about the
risks of lower oil prices and cheap gasoline (sacrilege to regular Americans)
by slowing the hiking pace after a single 0.25 percent increase last month. If
she gets it wrong, things could get ugly fast."
..
..
[ Yellen don’t need to read the neocons (in
favor of beneficiaries of her current policy) to fix current ugly results of
the hike-rate (0.25%) .. all she has to do is check its effects in emerging
economies & go back to the zero rate before things get uglier in the coming
days. Just slow the roller coaster. If she consider that there is no way out
from this cul-de-sac , just renounce, you get out. We need people of strong
convictions like FDR in the drive of the US Economy.]

an illusion.. for us neo-liberal economics was and is an ugly nightmare .. a torture.

What
If There Is No "Fed Put" - Paul Brodsky Thinks Yellen Will Not
Bailout Markets This Time. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 01/15/2016: Earlier today, Art
Cashin summarized most (very desperate) traders' thoughts when he said that
as a result of today's market crash, "the Fed will try anything" to
prop up the wealth effect it had so carefully engineered with seven years of central
planning in the aftermath of the financial crisis. Yet one person who is
far less sanguine abou the latest in a long series of central bank bailouts of
the stock market is Macro-Allocation's
Paul Brodsky, who believes that instead of the Fed Put, the time of the Fed
Call has come.
[ So, is this the end of the illusion for big crooks? .. She is
a servant of them.. she may do it again. Art Cashin is more realistic: Art
Cashin Comments On Today's Crash: "The Fed Will Try Anything"
.. "it doesn't matter that it
hasn't worked in the past," The Fed will unleash moar QE to save the world.” .. “save the world??”
.. that is a lie not artistically set.
.. He should’ve said “to save us” .. more realistic.]

Empire
Fed Crashes At Fastest Pace "Since Lehman". Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 01/15/2016: Against hope-strewnm expectations of a bounce from
-4.6 to -4, Empire Fed printed a disastrous -19.37 - the largest miss on
record. New orders collapsed, shipments plunged, and employees and workweek
continue to contract. Forward-looking employment expectations also plunged.
The last time Empire Fed crashed to these levels was the immediate aftermath
of the Lehman bankuptcy and the global financial crisis and the peak of the
recession in 2001... but we
are sure this is just transitory.

A
Loophole Allows Banks – But Not Other Companies – to Create Money Out of Thin
Air. Posted on January 15, 2016 by WashingtonsBlog
One of the Main Causes of Our Economic Problems. The central banks of the United States,
England, and German – as well as 2 Nobel-prize winning economists – have all
shown that banks
create money out of thin air … even if they have no deposits on hand.
Economics professor Richard
Werner – the creator of quantitative easing – noted in September that the field
of economics has been lost
in the woods for an entire century because it has failed to understand
how banks actually create money. Professor wrote
an academic paper in 2014 concluding: “What banks do is to simply reclassify
their accounts payable items arising from the act of lending as ‘customer
deposits’, and the general public, when receiving payment in the form of a
transfer of bank deposits, believes that a form of money had been paid into the
bank.” ⇒
