KEYNESIANISM'S
LONG MARCH TO THE DUSTBIN OF HISTORY. by Gary North via GaryNorth.com, Submitted by Tyler Durden on 02/16/2016 : The whole
Keynesian regulatory structure is going to collapse. Why? Because we are
reaching an inflection point. We are reaching the point at which the
exponential curve turns sharply upward. This is good news for liberty,
and it is bad news for the arrogant theorists of Keynesian central planning,
the arrogant tenured bureaucrats of central banks, and the protected employees
of virtually every other government-regulated industry or profession. They
are presiding over the final stages of the illusion of central planning..
CHECK
THESE SUBTITLES:
It is now the Keynesians' turn to join the losers of history.
..
The handwriting is on the wall for Keynesianism: THE POWER OF COMPOUNDING
..
George Orwell was correct: we find it difficult to see
what is under our noses.
UNDER THE NOSES
OF INSIDERS
..
I used Alta Vista from 1996 until about 2002. It may have
been 2001. Then I switched to Google.
New technologies can transform societies in short periods
of time. Not many of them ever do this, but a handful can.
..
STEADY GROWTH,
RADICAL CHANGE.
..
CONCLUSION.
..
Keynesians today are like the dinner guests on
Babylon's last night. They are the silent film producers in 1928. They are Alta
Vista's owners in 2001. They are headed for the ashcan of history.
..
The steady decline in the cost of information, especially
communications, has undermined every establishment on the face of the earth --
North Korea excepted.

"Truck-ocalypse"
Hits Main Street As Daimler Fires 1,250 Amid Collapsing Demand. Submitted
by Tyler Durden on 02/16/2016 : If you were looking
for signs that US trade may be collapsing on itself, a good place to start
would be Class 8 truck orders which, as we first documented in early December,
have posted sharp y/y declines of late. Now, slowing demand for heavy vehicles
is hitting home in North Carolina, where Daimler has laid off more than
2,000 people in the past two months alone.

Will
Gold Be The World's Best Currency, Again?. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 02/16/2016 : If you are an investor, this may be the time to have
a serious talk with the face you see in the mirror and ask: Have we really
moved on from the ‘barbarous relic’? Can paper money keep its value when all
the Central Bankers and planners in the world are intent upon printing as much
of it as they possibly can? Is it different this time?

China
Imported At Least 217 Tonnes Of Gold In December As London Dumped Precious
Metals. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 02/16/2016. When there is
no more gold left in London to export the gold price is likely to go higher on
strong global demand induced by economic headwind.

Why
Negative Interest Rates Will Fail. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 02/16/2016. As with Japan, Western economies that pursue a
long-term policy of low or negative interest rates can expect decades of low
growth unless these “unorthodox” monetary policies are rapidly abandoned.
Recessions are not a problem of insufficient demand. They are a problem of
supply being misaligned with demand.

Empire
Fed Contracts For 7th Straight Month, Hovers At 7-Year Lows. Submitted
by Tyler Durden on 02/16/2016 : The Empire Fed
Manufacturing survey has been in contraction (below 0) since July 2015 and
while February's -16.64 print was above January's -19.37, it was dramatically
worse than the expected -10.0. New Orders and Shipments remain in contraction
as both prices paid and recived tumbled. Hope improved modestly but remains
markedly below December levels, as CapEx spending expectations weakened
once again.

Russia's
Trap: Luring Sunnis Into War. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 02/16/2016. Washington should think more than twice about
allowing Turkey and Saudi Arabia, its Sunni allies, militarily to engage their
Shiite enemies in Syria. Allowing Sunni supremacists into a deeper
sectarian war is not a rational way to block Russian expansion in the eastern
Mediterranean. And it certainly will not serve America's interests.

WASHINGTON BLOG
How
a Candidate’s Mega-Donors Get Served After the Election. Posted on February 16, 2016 by Eric Zuesse.
. The
Nation magazine recently headlined “This
Man Will Almost Certainly Die,” and
documented that, “Contractors operating immigrant-only prisons are rarely
forced to follow the rules that govern regular BOP [Bureau of Prisons]
facilities.” In other words, they documented (and the
ACLU has
documented far more) that one way the imprisonment corporations
increase their executive compensation, corporate dividends, stock-performance,
and attractiveness to investors, is by their not being required, in practice,
to treat prisoners as well as the government-owned prisons are Constitutionally
required to treat prisoners. Not all of a person’s Constitutionally protected
rights are lost when the given individual becomes charged, nor even if the
person becomes convicted, of a violation of law. Government-owned prisons are
required by the courts to maintain certain minimal standards. Privately owned
prisons simply aren’t (as The Nation explained, and the ACLU
further documented). [Where is the
answer to the HOW.. in the title? .. by running private prisons? ..When you
will learn to go directly to the point you said to address? . This title is
very deceptive.. ]

The
Syria Proxy War against the Islamic State (ISIS) Has Reached its Climax.
Military Escalation, Towards a US-NATO Sponsored Ground Invasion?. Posted
on February
16, 2016 by WashingtonsBlog : By Prof Michel
Chossudovsky. . Until recently, Syrian
Government Forces together with their allies (Russia, Iran, Hezbollah) have
been confronting so-called “opposition rebels” largely composed of “moderate”
terrorists and mercenaries, with US-NATO intelligence and special forces forces
operating covertly within their ranks.
The Al Qaeda affiliated terrorists and the Islamic State
(ISIS) forces are supported by US-NATO-Israel and their Persian Gulf GCC
allies. Turkey and Saudi Arabia, in close liaison with Washington have played a
central role in the recruitment, training and financing of the terrorists.
Sofar, this proxy war has unfolded without a direct
confrontation between US-NATO allied forces and Syrian government forces, which
are supported militarily by Russia and Iran.

[[ El circo electoral oculta los peligros de guerra
nuclear que acechan, para lo que el pueblo no está preparado. Sanders aun no
lanza el plan pacifista por temor a que lo saquen de la contienda electoral ..
de ganar las primarias lo haría porque tendría que diferenciarse del neo-nazi
Repub Trump que todos los días alienta la guerra. Lo mismo hace Hillari no hay
diferencia entre ellos .. Si Sanders no gana las primarias del Pdo Democrata es
porque gano el fraude que el pueblo no pudo desmontar .. Sanders gano por 20
puintos de diferencia el reciente evento NH y una mafia de “super-delegados” le
entregó la victoria a ella .. La derecha (incluyo a Hillary esta jugando con
los dados cargados y el MOV de masas lo sabe y esta contra el fraude .. en
cualquier momento puede estallar una rebelión social contra el fraude .. y la
represión policial daría mas gasolina al evento
… eso seria suficiente para que Sanders abandone el Pdo Dem y se lance
como independiente .. entonces si ganaría las elecciones tanto contra Hillary y
contra Trump .. peor aun si ingresa al
evento electoral el super-billonario Bloomberg. Lo quieren en NY y tiene consigo
el mas grande electorado del US. Esto dejaría a Hillary sin votos. .. Bloomberg
podría comprarle su puesto a Trump (pagar lo que invirtió hasta hoy) y sacarlo
del mapa .. Bien sabido es que esta es una democracia de millonarios .. aquí
todo se negocia arriba .. Sanders es un desafío abierto a este esquema
electoral, lo que solo es posible con el apoyo de gremios trabajadores y del
pueblo .. ese desafio en si un atrevimiento REV jamas visto en la historia USA.
Por esto la juventud esta con el y el FRENTE POPULAR de Sanders puede ganar las
elecciones en las ánforas y/o desatar un proceso REV de de impredecibles
consequencias .. es lo que temen los de arriba y quizá prefieran que gane
Sanders para intentar controlarlo con las instituciones que el “deep-state” tiene
en Washington. Asi están las cosas. El fenómeno guerra no ha entrado al debate
electoral ni creo que ingrese hasta que terminen las primarias al interior de
los dos partidos. .. En la 2da etapa eso entraría y Sanders tendría entonces
real base social para desafiar el sistema político actual.]] Hugo Adan. 2/16/16
