Von Greyerz: Global Debt Over $200 Trillion, Gold Demand Surges!

  • Greyerz: Global Debt Over $200 Trillion, Gold Demand Surges! 
    by www.kingworldnews.com
    Today Egon von Greyerz spoke with King World News about the, “… most massive Ponzi scheme the world has ever seen.”  He also stated, “… this will clearly end in total disaster.” Greyerz, who is founder and managing partner at Matterhorn Asset Management, also warned about a developing situation which, when it becomes apparent, will create, “… panic in the gold market because nobody will hold paper gold anymore.”
    -
    Here is what Greyerz had to say:  “US deficits are set to continue to rise, no matter who wins the election.  This means a great deal more money printing.  Right now the US has $40 billion per month of QE in the form of buying mortgage-backed securities, and with ‘Twist’ another $45 billion.  But you have to also add the $145 billion monthly budget deficit.”
    -
    “Right now the US deficit is running at roughly $1.5 trillion per year.  So in total, the US is already printing $200 billion each month, and that will of course increase.  The US debt is up $10 trillion in ten years.  As revenues decline and expenditures increase, the pressures on the US economy will be enormous, and the deficit will increase substantially. In a couple of years time, we will have $20 trillion, at least, of US debt….

NATO Designed Mortar Used in Attack Blamed on Syria!

FSA Terrorists in Syria are firing NATO 120mm mortar shells into Turkey!

  • NATO Designed Mortar Used in Attack Blamed on Syria
    by www.Infowars.com 
    October Turkey’s Yurt newspaper reports that the mortar used to attack the Turkish town of Akcakale is of NATO design. According to the newspaper’s Editor-in-Chief, Merdan Yanardag, the mortars were sent to the CIA-backed Free Syria Army. Yanardag cites reliable sources, Russia Today reports.
    -
    “Turkey is a longtime member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and they’re going to act in conjunction with other NATO powers, so it’s unsurprising that this has happened,” editor of the Pan-African news wire, Abayomi Azikiwe, told RT.
    -
    The establishment media in the United States has not carried the story and continues to blame Syria for the incident. The New York Times, however, reported last week that it was not certain who was responsible for the shell landing inside on Turkey’s side of the border.
    -
    “It was unknown whether the mortar shells were fired by Syrian government forces or rebels fighting to topple the government of President Bashar al-Assad. The Turkish response seemed to assume that the Syrian government was responsible,” the newspaper reported on October 3.

Revelation 2:9 – …. and I know the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.

“ … it turns out the creation of Israel had not, after all, been a haphazard fight in which the Arabs fled their homes at the directives of their own leaders, but it had been an unprovoked, systematic campaign of ethnic cleansing by the Jewish militia involving massacres, terrorism and the wholesale looting of an entire nation.” - from 4:22 onwards

What’s Up With Israel’s Nukes Program?

  • Emphasis mine:
    -
    What’s Up With Israel’s Nukes Program? 
    by Eric Niiler, http://news.discovery.com/ 
    The United States and Israel won’t discuss it or even admit it exists. But experts say Israel has had nuclear weapons since the late 1950s.
    When Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu drew a red line across a cartoon image of an Iranian nuclear bomb at the United Nations last week, his goal was to prod the United States and other countries to take possible military action against what he sees as an imminent threat. Left unsaid is the fact that Israel possesses the Middle East’s biggest nuclear weapons program, even though it denies its very existence.
    -
    “It’s one of the best-known secrets,” said Hans Kristensen, director of the Nuclear Information Project at the Federation of American Scientists. “We know that Iran does not have nuclear weapons. We know that Israel has nuclear weapons.”
    -
    Netanhayu warned that Iran would be close to having enough weapons-grade nuclear material by next spring or summer. President Barack Obama has said he wants more time for economic sanctions to take effect, and for diplomacy to work.
    -
    Neighbors Syria, Iraq and Iran are signatories to the nuclear non-proliferation treaty, but Israel is not. The only other nuclear nations that haven’t signed on are Pakistan, India and North Korea. That means inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) are not allowed to visit Israel to determine whether nuclear material is entering or exiting the country, or any other aspects of weapons development. The only exception is for a small research reactor.
    -
    IAEA officials in Vienna refused to comment about any aspect of Israel’s nuclear weapons program. But according to Kristensen, the U.S. intelligence community estimates that Israel has 80 to 90 nuclear warheads. Israel has the capability of launching these warheads via ballistic missiles (called the Jericho 2) that have a range of about 1,500 kilometers, or 930 miles, on missiles on U.S. supplied F-15s and F-16 fighter jets and on Cruise missiles aboard diesel-powered submarines supplied by Germany.
    -
    Why the secrecy? Kristensen and other experts say the program has been kept quiet since Israel began it in the late 1950s. Documents from the Nixon Administration declassified in 2006 revealed that President Richard Nixon agreed to allow Israel’s leader Golda Meier to continue developing nuclear weapons as long as Israel didn’t acknowledge it or conduct public weapons tests, according to Avner Cohen, senior fellow at the Monterey Institute for International Studies and author of several books on Israel’s nuclear program.

Stephen Lendman: No More Israel in 10 Years!

  • No More Israel in 10 Years! 
    by Stephen Lendman(Jew), http://sjlendman.blogspot.com/
    On September 17, the New York Post quoted Henry Kissinger saying:
    -
    “In 10 years, there will be no more Israel. I repeat: In 10 years, there will be no more Israel.”
    -
    He didn’t mean Israel will self-destruct or collapse. His view mirrors the combined assessment of 16 US intelligence agencies. Months earlier, its report headlined “Preparing For A Post Israel Middle East.” It wasn’t released publicly so no link.
    -
    It concluded that Washington’s national interest is at odds with Israel. The so-called special relationship is counterproductive. What benefits Israel geopolitically often harms America. It’s time to stop letting the tail wag the dog. America loses more than it gains. Serious reassessment is long overdue.
    -
    In their book titled “The Israel Lobby and US Foreign Policy,” John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt argue that Israel is “increasingly a strategic liability….It is time for the United States to treat Israel not as a special case but as a normal state, and to deal with it much as it deals with any other country.”
    -
    Doing so “means no longer pretending that Israel and America’s interests are identical, or acting as if Israel deserves steadfast US support no matter what it does.”
    -
    James Petras said “(t)he US-Israeli relationship is the first in modern history in which the imperial country covers up a deliberate major military assault by a supposed ally.”
    -
    He referred to the 1967 USS Liberty attack. Israel bombed and strafed it. Dozens of US seamen were killed. Around 170 were wounded. The vessel was heavily damaged. Israel got away with murder. It wasn’t the first or last time.
    -
    It’s time to cut ties and move on. In May 2008, former US official Richard Holbrooke headlined a Washington Post op-ed “Washington’s Battle Over Israel’s Birth,” saying:
    -
    In early 1948, Washington witnessed an “epic struggle.” Behind the scenes, policy makers wrangled over how to respond to Israel’s May 14 declaration of independence. Influential Truman officials shared opposing views. Lesser ones favored recognition.
    -
    Notable ones against included Defense Secretary James Forrestal, diplomat George Kennan, Defense Secretary Robert Lovett, presidential advisor John J. McCloy, defense strategist Paul Nitze, Secretary of State Dean Acheson, and General George Marshall, whom Truman called “the greatest living American.”
    -
    On May 12, Truman held an Oval Office meeting. Supposedly it was to resolve things. Marshall, Lovett, and others made the case for delaying recognition. By “delay,” they meant “deny.”

Karl Denninger: Fix Health Care or Government Collapses!

  • Fix Health Care or Government Collapses-Karl Denninger! 
    by Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com
    Karl Denninger of Market-Ticker.Org says both Romney and Obama are lying about health care reform.  Denninger says drastic changes are coming no matter what, “. . . because the amount of money the federal government spends doubles every seven years . . . this is mathematically impossible.”  Denninger says, “We either fix this or the government collapses along with society.”  Denninger contends, “You have to kill the monopoly protections that the medical system has that prevent the free market from working.”
    -
    Think we can fix the economy of health care with Federal Reserve money printing or QE?  Forget it!  Denninger warns, “It is a huge tax increase. . . . It acts by devaluing your purchasing power, and it falls disproportionately on the poor and lower middle class.”  Join Greg Hunter as he goes One-on-One with Karl Denninger of Market-Ticker.org.

Iran Low on Options as Hyperinflation Concerns Spark Gold Dash!

Remember the Golden Rule: He who has the gold makes the rules!

  • What is happening in Iran will be repeated throughout the world when the global currency meltdown strikes!
    -
    Iran Low on Options as Hyperinflation Concerns Spark Gold Dash! 
    by Dana El Baltaji, http://www.businessweek.com/ 
    Iran has few policy options to end turmoil in its currency markets, as the U.S. and allies seek to inflict enough economic pain to force the Islamic republic into concessions over its nuclear plans, analysts said.
    -
    The rial has depreciated as much as 40 percent against the dollar in street markets since August and gold purchases have surged as residents seek to shield savings. The currency plunge led to unrest in Tehran’s markets last week as police used tear gas to end protests. Iran has raised interest rates on deposits and opened an exchange center to stabilize the currency market.
    -
    The U.S. and European Union are starving Iran of foreign currency by blocking sales of oil, its main export, and other transactions in dollars and euros. Israel has threatened to attack to stop Iran’s nuclear program if the sanctions don’t succeed in curbing it. Iranian leaders say they won’t bow to the pressure, even as the country’s crude output plunges to the lowest in more than two decades.
    -
    “I don’t see what Iran can do on the economic front other than try to avoid sanctions by exporting to countries that are prepared to use their currency as payment,” said John Williamson, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics in Washington. “I don’t think monetary policy changes will make any difference. People aren’t going to examine interest rates when their savings are being confiscated.”
    -
    ‘Hyper-Inflation’
    The run on the rial has exacerbated inflation that had already been pushed up by the removal of subsidies on energy and food. The official rate rose to 23.5 percent in August. The real rate, which adjusts for the currency depreciation, is three times that, according to Steve Hanke, a professor of applied economics at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore.
    -
    “We’re getting into what is technically hyper-inflation,”with an “implied inflation rate” of about 70 percent a month, Hanke said. Concern that savings are being eroded is leading Iranians to other assets, including gold and property.
    -
    Turkish sales of precious metals to Iran jumped to $6.2 billion through July from $21.9 million in the same period last year. Wealthy Iranians in Turkey are collecting gold and exporting it to Iran, the Istanbul-based Zaman newspaper said July 11. Iranians in Dubai and India are also collecting gold and sending it to the central bank, Zaman said, citing a Turkish economy administration official it didn’t name.

Leading World Bank Demographer: Vaccination Campaigns Part Of Population Reduction Policy!

Death by Vaccines!

  • Who owns Big Pharma and Big Agri (big food companies)? When you look at their shareholders, trace all the controllers/owners of the ‘charitable’ foundations, big funds …. they are the 13 Satanic bloodlines! Keep in mind that the World Bank, IMF, FedRes, BIS, ECB, BOE …. and practically all central banks are Illuminist privately owned corporations! Emphasis mine:
    -
    Leading World Bank Demographer: Vaccination Campaigns Part Of Population Reduction Policy! 
    by Jurriaan Maessen, www.ExplosiveReports.Com, October 4, 2012
    On October 2nd a retired demographer at the World Bank admitted that vaccination campaigns are an  integral part of the World Bank’s population policies.  John F. May, the Bank’s leading demographer from 1992 to 2012, told the French web journal Sens Public (and in turn transcribed by the think-tank May works for) that vaccination campaigns, especially in so-called “high-fertility countries”, are means to achieve population reduction in those countries. May:
    -
    “The means used to implement population policies are “policy levers” or targeted actions such as vaccination campaigns or family planning to change certain key variables.”
    -
    Defining “population policy” as “a set of interventions implemented by government officials to better manage demographic variables and to try to attune population changes (number, structure by age and breakdown) to the country’s development aspirations”, May continues to explain that the World Bank is taking up the lead role in achieving general population reduction.
    -
    It is not the first time that World Bank officials boast about their willingness to implement strict population control policies in the Third World. In its 1984 World Development Report, the World Bank suggests using “sterilization vans” and “camps” to facilitate its sterilization policies for the third world. The report also threatens nations who are slow in implementing the bank’s population policies with “drastic steps, less compatible with individual choice and freedom.”:
    -
    “Population policy has a long lead time; other development policies must adapt in the meantime. Inaction today forecloses options tomorrow, in overall development strategy and in future population policy. Worst of all, inaction today could mean that more drastic steps, less compatible with individual choice and freedom, will seem necessary tomorrow to slow population growth.”, the report states. Some of those steps are now being taken.
    -
    A study published in Human and Experimental Toxicology in May of 2011 concluded that “nations that require more vaccine doses tend to have higher infant mortality rates.” (page 8).
    -
    After an in-depth study into the effects of vaccine-coverage in relation to mortality rates among infants, the authors Neil Z. Miller and Gary S. Goldman came to this disturbing conclusion and advised that “a closer inspection of correlations between vaccine doses, biochemical or synergistic toxicity, and IMRs, is essential.”- but naively concluded that “All nations—rich and poor, advanced and developing—have an obligation to determine whether their immunization schedules are achieving their desired goals.”
    -
    The authors cannot be expected to know that, actually, that the desired goals are exactly being achieved. Their final point is significant in this regard, that they obviously were not working on the notion that vaccines were harmful and obviously drew their final conclusions on the basis of the idea that the increase in high mortality rates among infants were unintended. The opposite is the case. The World Health Organization, the World Bank, The UN environmental department, the UN Population Fund, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and all the other arms of the creature we call the scientific dictatorship are closing in on all of humanity with mass-scale vaccination programmes and genetically engineered food.

Gordon Duff & Press TV: Hollywood Masters Propaganda War on Iran!

  • Press TV – Hollywood Masters Propaganda War on Iran! 
    by Gordon Duff and Press TV, http://www.veteranstoday.com/ 
    American “Entertainment” Declares War on Iran 
    America’s new fall TV shows are back at it.  Last year the Israeli propaganda and Islamophobia had begun to dissipate but, this year, it is easy to see, the “Masters of Hollywood” are engaged in war mongering on behalf of their own masters in Tel Aviv.
    -
    We have decades of the same actors, oddly enough, most are actually Israeli, perhaps mirroring the not so “secret” that Israelis have been passing themselves off as Islamic terrorists, including blowing things up, for over 6 decades, playing the parts.
    -
    All are snarling comic book characters, reminiscent of Netanyahu’s performance in front of the United Nations last week.  His “bomb” graphic, using the movie industry term “bombed” totally with references to the Israeli leader’s uncanny resemblance to a certain cartoon character, “Wylie Coyote” making him a laughing stock.
    -
    With TV, however, it has been going on so long, so “ham handedly” and with such insidious intent.  The word Palestinian is never used without “terrorist” being added and mentions of there being two sides to an issue, much less damning Israel for genocide and apartheid, has ended more than one career, not just in entertainment but in “infotainment” or “news.”
    -
    Anyone caught representing reality is either “blackballed” from all work by the Israeli lobby or quickly makes a trip to Israel to “kiss backsides” and grovel as with Glenn Beck of Fox and more than a few others.
    -
    150 years ago in America, it was a crime to teach slaves to read.  Little has changed since, teaching Americans to think, more literally, teaching Americans they are, in actuality, slaves, has ended more than a few thousand academic careers.
    -
    Putting academia in with the entertainment industry might seem confusing to some unless one were to examine an American text book or, worse yet, the curriculum of an American school or college, all with new classes in law enforcement and “counter-terrorism.”
    -
    One university offered me a “department chair” in counter-terrorism.  I am one of the few remaining that fought in Vietnam, our war against poor farmers, killing 2 million of them because those who couldn’t read by our estimation deserved death because they were dangerously steeped in Marxist dialectic.
    -
    To me, they seem mostly to grow rice and try to live while under the control of a foreign dominated and corrupt government.  Wait, I think more generations have heard similar stories about other wars.
    -
    Thus, I list some areas of academic endeavor as no better than “Wylie Coyote” cartoons, the endless schools of “counter-terrorism” and their mindless “degrees” that indoctrinate future Department of Homeland Security employees into a mindset of racial bigotry, inherent incompetence and uselessness.
    -
    Even the New York Times has noticed this as it seems:

German State TV Reports: Syrian Rebels Claim Responsibility for Attack on Turkey!

  • German state TV reports: Syrian rebels claim responsibility for attack on Turkey! 
    by R. Teichmann, Global Research News, news-beacon-ireland.info 
    On Oct. 4th, the German state TV channel ZDF reported on the attack on Turkey several times.
    -
    In its “Mittagsmagazin” at 1300 hours it reports as follows:
    02:06 – 02:32 German:
    “Raketen- und Granatfeuer. Die Türkei übt Vergeltung für einen Angriff von syrischer Seite. Gestern Nachmittag hatten syrische Rebellen einen türkischen Ort in Grenznähe beschossen. Seit Wochen schon warnt Ankara davor, die Türkei zu provozieren. Inzwischen haben sich die syrischen Rebellen ganz offiziell zu der Provokation bekannt.“
    -
    Translation: (emphasis added)
    “Rocket and mortar fire. Turkey takes revenge after an attack from the Syrian side. Yesterday afternoon Syrian rebels fired on a Turkish village close to the border. For weeks Ankara had warned against provoking Turkey. Meanwhile Syrian rebels officially claimed responsibility for the provocation.”
    -
    Only 3 hours later in its “Heute in Europa” at 1600 hours it reports:
    01:40 – 01:52 German:
    “Raketen und Granatfeuer. Vergangene Nacht übte die Türkei Vergeltung für einen Angriff von syrischer Seite. Gestern Nachmittag hatten Rebellen einen türkischen Ort in Grenznähe beschossen.“
    -
    Translation:
    “Rocket and mortar fire. Last night Turkey took revenge for an attack from the Syrian side. Yesterday afternoon rebels fired on a Turkish village close to the border.
    -
    0220 – 0227 German:
    Aussage eines Einheimischen (Türke): „Die syrischen Rebellen versuchen, uns in ihren Konflikt zu verwickeln. Wir müssen da sehr vorsichtig sein.“
    -
    Translation:
    Testimony of a local Turk: “The Syrian rebels try to draw us into their  conflict. We have to be very careful here.”
    -
    In their main evening news  “Heute” at 1900 hours they report:
    -
    01:40 – 01:53 German:
    “Raketen- und Granatfeuer. Vergangene Nacht übte die Türkei Vergeltung. Gestern Nachmittag hatten die Syrer einen Ort in Grenznähe beschossen. Die Spannungen zwischen den Nachbarn waren eskaliert – Ankara schlug zurück.“
    -
    Translation:
    “Rocket and mortar fire. Last night Turkey took revenge. Yesterday afternoon the Syrians fired on a Turkish village close to the border. The tensions between the neighbours had escalated – Ankara retaliated.”
    -
    In the late evening news “Heute Journal” at 2300 hours they reported:
    -
    0154 – 0205 German:
    “Raketen und Granatfeuer. Vergangene Nacht übte die Türkei Vergeltung. Gestern Nachmittag war von syrischer Seite ein Ort in Grenznähe beschossen worden. Die Spannung eskalierte. Ankara schlug zurück.”
    -
    Translation:
    “Rocket and mortar fire. Last night Turkey took revenge. Yesterday afternoon a village close to the border had been fired upon from the Syrian side. The tension escalated – Ankara retaliated.”
    -
    0235 – 0242 German:
    “Zerschossene Häuser und menschenleere Straßen. Noch ist nicht einmal klar, wer eigentlich geschossen hat, die syrische Armee oder die Rebellen.”
    -
    Translation:
    “Houses shot to pieces and streets devoid of people. It is not even clear yet who really fired, the Syrian army or the rebels.”
    -
    The first victim of war is the truth
    The first report clearly states that the rebels officially claimed responsibility for the attack on Turkey. It is telling to see how the pressure on this TV station worked. They had to back-paddle:
    -
    At 1300 it was the Syrian Rebels officially claiming responsibility.
