Draghi Promises Hyperinflation, Sets Up Potential for Financial Chaos Late Next Week !

  • Draghi Promises Hyperinflation, Sets Up Potential for Financial Chaos Late Next Week! 
    by http://larouchepac.com/ 
    European Central Bank head Mario Draghi announced a policy of resuming the mass printing of euros, in a speech to a European Parliament committee on July 26. Draghi promised to start buying Eurozone countries’ bonds en masse again, appearing to reverse his own policy statement of only three weeks ago after the ECB’s last meeting. The reversal was provoked by spreading panic among European financial markets as the interest rate on Spain’s 10-year bonds had been starting to approach 8%, with Italy’s following.
    -
    Draghi’s announcement of another hyperinflationary attempt came with bluster: “Within our mandate, the ECB is ready to do whatever it takes to preserve the euro. And believe me, it will be enough,” he said, undoubtedly realizing that any sensible audience would not believe him. The ECB’s balance sheet is already $4 trillion, larger than that of the Federal Reserve, and that has only slowed the banking collapse. It bought 50 billion euros in Greek sovereign debt, to little effect on that crisis.
    -
    Now, by promising hyperinflation, Draghi sent the stock markets into a day’s euphoria, and Spain’s 10-year rate briefly sank down to about 7% again. But Draghi has put those same markets on the line when the ECB meets Aug. 2, with German board members likely strongly opposed. If it does not deliver a big sovereign-bond buying binge, “financial markets would likely be thrown back into chaos,” warned the Wall Street Journal. “By using strong words, he is inviting creativity and fantasy in financial markets on what they can put on their wish list” for ECB action, said Carsten Brzeski, economist at ING Bank, to the Journal. If disappointed next Thursday, “markets might go wild.”
    -
    “Super Mario” concocted a super-slick reinterpretation of the ECB’s mandate to cover his panicked reversal. He decided the Bank could buy sovereign bonds to narrow interest-rate spreads among countries and thus improve the Bank’s “channels for monetary transmission.” “To the extent that the size of the sovereign premia [inter-country spreads] hamper the functioning of the monetary policy transmission channels, they come within our mandate”, he told the EP commmittee.
    -
    On the same day, Austrian central bank head Ewald Nowotny re-floated the ultimate super-inflationary (Geithner) idea of the “leveraged ESM”, in which the ESM bailout fund is given a banking license and proceeds to borrow trillions from the ECB and the Fed, making it a $5 trillion “bailout bazooka”.

Collapse of Al Saud (Saudi Arabia) Becomes Imminent?

  • 2002 Iraqi Intel Reported Wahhabis Are of Jewish Origin! House of Saud is Jewish!?
    Is the Saudi Royal Family Jewish?
    ‘In the 1960′s the “Sawt Al Arab” Broadcasting Station in Cairo, Egypt, and the Yemen Broadcasting Station in Sana’a confirmed the Jewish Ancestry of the Saudi Family.
    -
    King Faisal Al-Saud at that time could not deny his family’s kindred with the Jews when he declared to the Washington Post on Sept. 17, 1969 stating: “We, The Saudi family, are cousins of the Jews: we entirely disagree with any Arab or Muslem Authority which shows any antagonism to the Jews; but we must live together with them in peace. Our country (Arabia) is the Fountain head from where the first Jew sprang, and his descendants spread out all over the world.” That was the declaration of King Faisal AL-Saud Bin Abdul Aziz! ‘
    …..
    The U.S. Department of Defense has released translations of a number of Iraqi intelligence documents dating from Saddam’s rule. One, a General Military Intelligence Directorate report from September 2002, entitled “The Emergence of Wahhabism and its Historical Roots”, shows the Iraqi government was aware of the nefarious purposes of the Wahhabis of Saudi Arabia, often known as Salafis, in serving Western interests to undermine Islam.
    ….
    As the report recounts, both Abdul Wahhab, and his sponsor, ibn Saud, who founded the Saudi dynasty, were of Jewish origin.
    -
    For example, D. Mustafa Turan wrote, in The Donmeh Jews, that Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahhab was a descendant of a family of Donmeh Jews from Turkey. The Donmeh were descendants of followers of the infamous false-messiah of Judaism, Shabbetai Zevi, who shocked the Jewish world in 1666 by converting to Islam.
    -
  • Why is there the genealogy/descendents of Abdul Aziz bin Abdul Rahman ibn Faisal Al Saud in the Jewish Virtual Library? Draw your own conclusions!

The US-NATO War on Syria: Western Naval Forces Confront Russia Off The Syrian Coastline?

Russian warships enter the Med, bound for Syria – timesofmalta.com, July 24, 2012

  • The US-NATO War on Syria: Western Naval Forces Confront Russia Off the Syrian Coastline? 
    by Michel Chossudovsky, http://globalresearch.org/
    “As I went back through the Pentagon in November 2001, one of the senior military staff officers had time for a chat. Yes, we were still on track for going against Iraq, he said. But there was more. This was being discussed as part of a five-year campaign plan, he said, and there were a total of seven countries, beginning with Iraq, then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Iran, Somalia, and Sudan.”  – Former Nato Commander General Wesley Clark
    -
    “Let me say to the soldiers and officials still supporting the Syrian regime — the Syrian people will remember the choices you make in the coming days….” – Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Friends of Syria conference in Paris’ July 7, 2012
    -
    While confrontation between Russia and the West was, until recently, confined to the polite ambit of international diplomacy, within the confines of the UN Nations Security Council, an uncertain and perilous situation is now unfolding in the Eastern Mediterranean.
    -
    Allied forces including intelligence operatives and special forces have reinforced their presence on the ground in Syria following the UN stalemate. Meanwhile, coinciding with the UN Security Council deadlock, Moscow has dispatched to the Mediterranean a flotilla of ten Russian warships and escort vessels led by the Admiral Chabanenko anti-submarine destroyer. Russia’s flotilla is currently stationed off the Southern Syrian coastline.
    -
    Back in August of last year, Russia’s Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin warned that “NATO is planning a military campaign against Syria to help overthrow the regime of President Bashar al-Assad with a long-reaching goal of preparing a beachhead for an attack on Iran,…”  In relation to the current naval deployment, Russia’s navy chief, Vice Admiral Viktor Chirkov, confirmed, however, that while the [Russian] flotilla was carrying marines, the warships would “not be engaged in Syria Tasks”. “The ships will perform “planned military manoeuvres”, said the [Russian Defense] ministry”
    -
    The US-NATO alliance has retorted to Russia’s naval initiative, with a much larger naval deployment, a formidable Western armada, consisting of British, French and American warships, slated to be deployed later this Summer in the Eastern Mediterranean, leading to a potential “Cold War style confrontation” between Russian and Western naval forces.
    -
    Meanwhile, US-NATO military planners have announced that various “military options” and “intervention scenarios” are being contemplated in the wake of the Russian-Chinese veto in the UN Security Council.
    The planned naval deployment is coordinated with allied ground operations in support of the US-NATO sponsored “Free Syrian Army”(FSA). In this regard, US-NATO has speeded up the recruitment of foreign fighters trained in Turkey, Iraq, Saudi Arabia and Qatar.

Al-Qaeda Gaining Experience in Syria, Eyes ‘Islamic State To Fight Israel And Iran’!

“Al Qaeda is a creation of the US intelligence apparatus! It is extremely well documented ! Many of the terrorist attacks are in fact orchestrated by the US intelligence and military!” - Michel Chossudovsky, 7:40 onwards

  • Albert Pike’s Satanic World War 3 Plan
    The Third World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences caused by the “agentur” of the “Illuminati” between the political Zionists and the leaders of Islamic World. The war must be conducted in such a way that Islam (the Moslem Arabic World) and political Zionism (the State of Israel) mutually destroy each other. Meanwhile the other nations, once more divided on this issue will be constrained to fight to the point of complete physical, moral, spiritual and economical exhaustion…
    -
  • Al CIAda is a terrorist arm of the Anglo-American Illuminati. These are mercenaries trained, equipped, financed, managed, organized …. by western Illuminist intelligence agencies: CIA, MI6, Mossad … etc. The endgame is the Satanic World War 3 !
    -
  • Muslim Brotherhood created by British Intelligence
    By fabricating a bogus war between Islamic fundamentalism and the West, the globalists are able to attack their real enemy, humanity. Pulling the strings, they will ensure that both Western and Muslim states are degraded and finally completely subjugated to their odious rule.

    Al-Qaeda gaining experience in Syria, eyes ‘Islamic state to fight Israel and Iran’! 
    by http://www.rt.com/ 
    An Iraqi Al-Qaeda operative has admitted that his organization is taking part in the Syrian uprising against President Assad. The revelation comes amidst increasing evidence that Al-Qaeda is gaining a foothold in Syria.
    -
    Abu Thuha, a 56-year-old Al-Qaeda operative living near Kirkuk in northern Iraq, described the Islamist organization’s grand plans to an Iraqi reporter for The New York Times.
    -
    “We have experience now fighting the Americans, and more experience now with the Syrian revolution,” he noted. “Our big hope is to form a Syrian-Iraqi Islamic state for all Muslims, and then announce our war against Iran and Israel, and free Palestine.”
    -
    Similar revelations that “around 90 terror attacks that can be attributed to organizations that are close to Al-Qaeda or jihadist groups were carried out in Syria between the end of December and the beginning of July” have been made by the German foreign intelligence service, the BND.

    -
    The information was revealed by the German government in a response to a parliamentary question. The German government admitted that it had received several reports from the German foreign intelligence service, but noted that the content of these reports was to remain classified “by reason of national interest,” in light of Germany’s support for the rebellion and its political arm, the Syrian National Council (SNC).
    -
    At least three major German newspapers – Die Welt, the FAZ (Die Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung), and the tabloid Bild – have published reports attributing responsibility for the May 25 massacre in the Syrian town of Houla to anti-government rebel forces or treating this as the most likely scenario.
    -
    Writing in Bild, longtime German war correspondent Jurgen Todenhofer accused the rebels of “deliberately killing civilians and then presenting them as victims of the government”. He described this “massacre-marketing strategy” as being “among the most disgusting things that I have ever experienced in an armed conflict.”
    -
    In Iraq, the number of Al-Qaeda attacks has been on the rise, with over 400 people killed since the start of June. On Monday, a series of bombings and shootings took the lives of over 110 people, an attack that has been claimed by the self-proclaimed Islamic State of Iraq, Al-Qaeda’s front in the country. As for Syria, Iraqi officials have pointed to the fact that both governments face a common enemy: Al-Qaeda.

    -
    “We are 100-per-cent sure from security coordination with Syrian authorities that the wanted names that we have are the same wanted names that the Syrian authorities have, especially within the last three months,” Izzat al-Shahbandar, a close aide to the Iraqi prime minister, said. “The Al-Qaeda that is operating in Iraq is the same as that which is operating in Syria.”
    -
    Iraqi foreign minister Hoshyar Zebari also noted that while in the past decade his country suffered from an influx of Al-Qaeda operatives coming in from Syria, the direction of their flow has now reversed.

    -
    “We have solid information and intelligence that members of Al-Qaeda’s terrorist network have gone to Syria,” he told reporters in Baghdad on July 5. “Our main concern, to be honest with you, is about the spill over – about extremist, terrorist groups taking root in neighboring countries.”
    -
    Another piece of evidence pointing to Al-Qaeda’s growing presence in Syria is the increasing number of Al-Qaeda-style suicide bombings, most of them targeting government facilities.

    -
    Last week, at least four senior government ministers were killed in an explosion in Damascus, as fighting between troops and rebels raged on in the outskirts of the city. Both the Free Syrian Army and the Islamist Liva al-Islam claimed responsibility for the bombing.
    -
    Last month, seven people were killed and 11 were kidnapped in an attack on the state-run Al-Ikhbariya TV station. The Al-Qaeda-linked Al-Nusra Front for the People of the Levant claimed responsibility for the attack.
    -
    In May, two car bombs detonated by suicide bombers went off next to a military intelligence complex in Damascus, killing at least 55 soldiers. All in all, at least 35 car bombings and 10 suicide bombings have taken place in Syria this year, data compiled by the Institute for the Study of War shows. Four of these attacks were claimed by the Al-Nusra Front. Many more were alleged to have been perpetrated by the Islamist group, as well as other militant Sunni organizations connected to Al-Qaeda: the Abdullah Azzam Shaheed Brigades and the al-Baraa ibn Malik Martyrdom Brigade.
    -
    Al-Qaeda has repeatedly been voicing its support for the Syrian uprising against President Bashar al-Assad. Last week, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the pseudonymous new leader of Al-Qaeda’s branch in Iraq, issued his first audio statement in which he devoted 30 minutes to praising the Sunni struggle against President Assad, a member of the offshoot Shiite Alawite sect. The statement also served as a harbinger for the deadly Monday attacks in Iraq.
    -
    “I bring you good news: we are starting a new phase in our struggle with a plan we named `Breaking the walls,’ and we remind you of your priority to free the Muslim prisoners,” he said. “At the top of your priorities regarding targets is to chase and liquidate the judges, the investigators and the guards.”
    -
    Al-Qaeda leader Ayman Al-Zawahari has also been voicing his support for the Syrian uprising against President Bashar al-Assad. In February he released an audio recording lauding the rebels and calling them “the lions of the Levant.”

    -
    Nevertheless, the Syrian National Council (SNC), the Free Syrian Army (FSA) and the Syrian Revolution General Commission (SRGC) “are all united in rejecting the message of Al-Qaeda,” a February statement of the SNC read.
    -
    The Syrian government has maintained that it has been fighting terrorists since last year. This claim has repeatedly been shunned by a number of high-ranking Western officials. US State Department spokesperson Victoria Nuland said the recent attacks against senior government officials in Damascus were “not surprising.”
    -
    Her position, as well as that of Susan Rice, the US ambassador in the UN, led Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov to condemn America’s stance and suggest that it was directly endorsing terrorism. The anti-Assad rhetoric of top American officials is not being backed by evidence presented by the country’s own military and intelligence.

    -
    In February, US director of national intelligence James Clapper told Congress that a series of bombings against Syrian security targets last year bore “all the earmarks of an Al-Qaeda-like attack.”
    -
    General Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff, also suggested that Islamist militant organizations such as Al-Qaeda were trying to stir the conflict in Syria their way.

    -
    “Those who would like to foment a Sunni-Shia standoff – and you know who they are – are all weighing in in Syria,” he noted during a Senate testimony in February.
    -
  • The Masonic Origins of the Muslim Brotherhood (emphasis mine)
    The Masonic origins of the Islamists movements, and their true goal to undermine Islam and fight for Western Zionist Powers such as Britain and the United States of America. The Muslim Brotherhood has acted as a clever technique to recruit agent-provocateurs for the Illuminati. The lowest ranks may sincerely believe they are defending Islam, and confronting “Western imperialism”. However, these various terrorist groups, through representing different factions, are part of a single network serving the same Illuminati cause.
    -
    When we explore the political and financial connections of the terrorists, we find that these are not merely wayward fanatics, operating in isolation, but that their channels penetrate to the upper reaches of power, in the British and American governments, and outward into the nether regions of the occult and criminal underworlds.

Hey, Mr. Obama: Prescription Drugs Kill 6200% More Americans Than Homicidal Shootings!

  • Hey, Mr. Obama: Prescription drugs kill 6200% more Americans than homicidal  shootings! 
    by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, Editor of NaturalNews.com
    (NaturalNews) In the aftermath of the Aurora, Colorado Batman movie theater  shooting, President Obama chimed in on the gun control debate yesterday, saying,  “Every day, the number of young people we lose to violence is about the same as  the number of people we lost in that movie theater. For every Columbine or  Virginia Tech, there are dozens gunned down on the streets of Chicago or  Atlanta…” (http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/jul/25/obama-calls-measures-…)
    -
    What  he didn’t say, however, is that every day 290 people are killed by  FDA-approved prescription drugs, and that’s the conservative number  published by the Journal of the American Medical Association.
    -
    As no one  seems to believe these numbers are real, I’ll quote the source: The Journal  of the American Medical Association (JAMA) Vol 284, No 4, July 26th 2000,  authored by Dr Barbara Starfield, MD, MPH, of the Johns Hopkins School of  Hygiene and Public Health.
    -
    That study, which is twelve years old — and  drug deaths have risen considerably since then — documents 106,000 deaths  per year from the “adverse effects” of FDA-approved prescription  medications.
    -
    To reach this number from outbreaks of violent shootings,  you’d have to see an Aurora Colorado Batman movie massacre take place every  HOUR of every day, 365 days a year.
    -
    If a massacre of people using  slugs of lead is bad, why is a massacre of people using deadly chemicals  perfectly acceptable?
    -
    A medical massacre that dwarfs the number of deaths from shootings
    No  one in Washington talks about prescription drug deaths. There are no sobbing  victims shown on the evening news. This “chemical massacre” happens quietly,  behind closed doors. Yet to achieve this level of mass death in the world of  plane crashes, for example, you’d have to see a jumbo jet airliner crashing  into the ground once a day, every day of the year.
    -
    But that’s only  the beginning of the mass death caused by modern medicine, where greed-driven  doctors are routinely bribed by the drug giants (http://www.naturalnews.com/036510_doctors_bribes_drug_companies.html)  and thereby make the “Joker” James Holmes look like a boy scout by comparison.  As NaturalNews previously revealed, just one company — GlaxoSmithKline — had a  bribery network of 49,000 doctors who received financial kickbacks to  prescribe more Glaxo pharmaceuticals to patients.

NATO Terrorists Execute Civilians While Waiting for Syrian Army!

Image: From BBC’s Ian Pannell – young men “suspected” of being “Shabiha” are rounded up as the FSA “seeks revenge.” BBC fails categorically to explain how NATO-backed terrorists can “liberate” a city that is admittedly pro-government – but it appears it will be done through terrorism, brutality, mass murder, and intimidation.

  • NATO Terrorists Execute Civilians While Waiting for Syrian Army
    by Tony Cartalucci, www.Infowars.com
    For many months, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has depicted the militants creating havoc across his nation as “armed gangs,” “foreign terrorists,” and simply just, “terrorists.” During a 2011 interview in Damascus with Barbra Walters, Walters feigned indignation when hearing these labels, insisting that these were people simply seeking “democracy” and “freedom.”
    -
    It turns out months later, it was President Assad who has been vindicated, and Walters’ disrespectful, curt condemnation exposed as the same brand of war propaganda that has mired the West in over a decade of ceaseless, bloody, bankrupting wars and interventions.
    -
    The FSA are Terrorists
    AFP now reports that the so-called “Free Syrian Army” (FSA) militants who had attempted to overrun the city of Aleppo in Syria’s north on July 17, in coordination with an assassination bombing and a similar militant attack on Damascus, are now trapped in the city center, awaiting Syrian Army reinforcements expected to close in and neutralize them. An AFP correspondent embedded with the terrorists reported that, “two men, accused of belonging to pro-government “shabiha” militia, were summarily dispatched in the street, each with a bullet to the head.”
    -
    By this of course AFP means, two civilians were rounded up and shot in the head – killed in cold blood in the streets.
    -
    BBC’s Ian Pannell also rode in with FSA terrorists during the initial attack on Aleppo, which is by all accounts a pro-Army, pro-Syrian city. Pannell described scenes of FSA militants “seeking revenge” as they too rounded up men “suspected” of being “shabiha.” The men were unarmed, terrified, and had weapons discharged at their feet as they knelt on the ground. Pannell doesn’t tell us if this group of men were “dispatched” as well, preferring to paper over what appeared to be an atrocity in the making by stating, “there is little justice on either side.”
    -
    It would later turn out these black Africans were not mercenaries, but citizens who had lived in Libya for generations fighting desperately for their lives against sectarian extremists intolerant of their complexion and creed. Likewise, suspected “shabiha” are Syrians unwilling or unable, because of their ethnicity or creed, to capitulate to roving bands of foreign-armed sectarian extremists.
    -
    The FSA Include Foreign-Fighters
    CNN, whose Ivan Watson also accompanied FSA terrorists over the Turkish-Syrian border and into Aleppo revealed that indeed foreign fighters were amongst the militants. It was admitted that:
    -
    Meanwhile, residents of the village where the Syrian Falcons were headquartered said there were fighters of several North African nationalities also serving with the brigade’s ranks. A volunteer Libyan fighter has also told CNN he intends to travel from Turkey to Syria within days to add a “platoon” of Libyan fighters to armed movement.
    -
    CNN also added:
    On Wednesday, CNN’s crew met a Libyan fighter who had crossed into Syria from Turkey with four other Libyans. The fighter wore full camouflage and was carrying a Kalashnikov rifle. He said more Libyan fighters were on the way. The foreign fighters, some of them are clearly drawn because they see this as … a jihad. So this is a magnet for jihadists who see this as a fight for Sunni Muslims.
    -
    CNN’s reports provide bookends to earlier admissions that large numbers of Libyan terroristsflush with NATO cash and weapons had headed to Syria with known terrorist commanders making the arrangements.

Art Cashin: Current Liquidity In System Risks Hyperinflation!

We will all be trillionaires but can’t afford breakfast !

  • Art Cashin – Current Liquidity In System Risks Hyperinflation! 
    by www.kingworldnews.com
    Today 50 year veteran Art Cashin stunned King World News when he said, “… the amount of liquidity that’s around the globe should be hyperinflationary.”  Cashin, who is Director of Floor Operations for UBS, which has $612 billion under management, also warned, “… the fall of Syria can destabilize the entire Middle-East.”
    -
    Cashin also discussed gold, but first, when asked if we were getting close a tipping point in reference to the Fed and other central banks trying to encourage lending and spending, Cashin responded, “You are.  They talk about a lot of things they may do, including stop paying on reserves.  None of that matters, Eric.  There is plenty of money around but it’s not finding its way into the system.”
    -
    “By standards, the amount of liquidity that’s around the globe should be hyperinflationary.  It is not.  It is because when Bernanke flies over your house and drops millions of dollars in fresh cash on your lawn, you are so terrified you pick it up and store it in the garage.  They’ve got to find a way to unlock all of that liquidity in the garages around the globe. This is a very, very different time than virtually anything we’ve seen before.”

Von Greyerz: Expect Frightening Wealth Destruction As Gold Soars!

  • Greyerz – Expect Frightening Wealth Destruction As Gold Soars! 
    by www.kingworldnews.com
    Today Egon von Greyerz told King World News that going forward the world is going to witness, “…unprecedented wealth destruction.”  Greyerz, who is founder and managing partner at Matterhorn Asset Management out of Switzerland, also said to KWN that gold will soar, but in the midst of the rise, “There will be failing economies, higher unemployment, more QE, and extraordinary levels of social unrest.”
    -
    Here is what Greyerz had to say about the ongoing financial crisis and where we are headed:  “Right now the world is on the edge.  When Draghi says something it hits the wire and gold goes up and the dollar goes down.  Market participants are sloshing money around from currency to currency, but, in the end, all of the currencies will experience a massive decline.”
    -
    “Virtually every economic figure published worldwide shows there is a rapidly declining global economy.  We all know that Southern Europe is a basket case, but Germany is starting to suffer now.  Then we go to the UK and that’s a disaster waiting to happen. I believe the UK is already in a depression….
