    Greetings
    Referring to Bluegreen post above...headlines would have you believe EVERYBODY 's economies are collapsing ....but I was taught (investing 101 )...someone goes up...someone else goes down...one gives..one receives...why would everyone's economies all be melting down at once...who is the beneficiary ? cui bono...
    These days...somethings just don't compute !!! I stopped daytrading over 10 years ago...when something took control of our stock markets...and they all started trading alike...all charts matched...and that just flew in the face of everything I'd been taught about market greed and market fear...I was a Templeton type trader...now days I read books, and stay out of the line of fire...it sucks...but it's safe !!!
    Blessings

    Not that it has anything to do with this thread, but just out of curiosity, I went to PA's own Global Financial News section and took a few minutes to jot down the headlines that run at the top of the page. Yes, the MSM is a controlled propaganda machine, and yes, Mr. Fulford's reporting and/or motives have been debated, but here's what was running at that particular time (unedited):
    This is one of the biggest reasons I like reading Fulford's articles so much. He doesn't live in a vacuum and just make stuff up. What he points out is really keen information and he often throws it out there 1 or 2 weeks or more before it leaks, in a twisted version, into MSM.

    Not too long ago he predicted that western governments would grow cold and increasingly critical of the Saudi royal family, and a week later the Saudi king was dead. Coincidence? Just one of many "synchronicities" (or just evidence of insider information) I've noticed reading his work.

    as for a World Government, it needs to start with a world Military...

    "Former US defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld has said that George W. Bush was wrong to try and push democracy on Iraq and that NATO has become unfit to deal with modern threats and should be replaced by a more global alliance to fight Islamist extremism..."


    response to that article is a finger pointed at Russia...

    "Putin intends to undermine NATO - Jt. Chiefs Chairman Dempsey
    Russia is seeking to “discredit and eventually undermine” NATO, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Martin Dempsey said in an interview published shortly after President Vladimir Putin said only a madman would think of Russia as a threat to NATO..." link

    seriously now, when Rumsfeld starts talking a lay down, doesn't that mean more to the world population than anything Putin might say?

    Obama just went against all Constituents in a global trade agreement...

    Fulford had told us this was happening, now it's coming out in black and white...

    G7 helpless in the face of mathematically certain bankruptcy

    The leaders of the Group of Seven Industrialized Nations or G7 are holding an emergency meeting in Germany in a futile attempt to avoid their inevitable bankruptcy. The leaders talk about Greece, the Ukraine, China, the Middle East and other matters as if somehow they are still in control. The leaders need to understand that there is a thing out there called reality and, no matter how long you try to avoid it, it has a way of catching up to you. The fact is that, with the exceptions of Canada, Japan and Germany, the G7 nations and their allied Western states have been running a deficit with the rest of the world for the past 40 years. The elephant in the room that nobody talks about is the fact the biggest debtor of all is the Corporate United States.

    The rest of the world has made a collective decision to stop financing these Western governments until they stop their constant war-mongering and resource stealing. Since the rest of the world controls most of the real money (i.e. money connected to physical objects) they control the underlying reality. You can eat bread but you cannot eat derivatives or dollar bills. You can trade real things like cars or oil for rice or wheat but if you lose trust, nobody will trade your IOUs for real things. The G7 countries, especially the Corporate United States (as opposed to the Republic of the United States), have managed to postpone the inevitable with fraudulent economic data, offshore slush funds, and derivatives theoretically worth astronomical amounts.

    However, no amount of zeroes added to astronomical numbers inside Western banks will make any difference so long as these zeroes have no connection to the real world.

    The Chinese have insisted on payment in things, like gold, that actually exist. The American corporate government has, like a once rich junky fallen on hard times, pawned family heirlooms, borrowed from friends, stolen and lied so far to get its next fix of debt. They have stolen Iraqi oil, African gold, Japanese savings and everything else they could get their hands on. However, since real US GDP has shrunk by 21.4% since 2011, it is becoming impossible for the US Corporate government to keep paying its snowballing debts. The obvious answer is to declare bankruptcy.
    The problem is.......

    Will it be chaos or controlled implosion as the Western bubble bursts?

    The signs are undeniable that some sort of historic event is imminent. The latest economic news makes it certain that the Western financial system as we know it is about to end. The question is, will there be a controlled implosion followed by a phoenix like revival or, will there be revolution, chaos, anarchy, bloodshed and misery. The answer now lies in the hands of the military forces of the West because the political world, especially in the United States, is dysfunctional.

    To understand how serious the situation is, please look at the following chart.

    http://davidstockmanscontracorner.co...alization3.png

    It shows there is about $80 trillion worth of financial products in the United States that has no basis in the real world. During the Japanese bubble I used a similar chart to show the bad debt in the banking system was worth 200 trillion yen at a time when the Japanese government was saying there was only 3 trillion yen worth of bad debt. Another way of putting it is that US asset prices will have to fall by about 80% before they hit the ground of reality. Japanese real estate prices fell 90% after the bubble burst there. The American bubble is 49 times larger than the Japanese bubble was. It is not a question of if it will burst but when. Denying reality does not make it go away.

    There is also evidence coming from indexes based in real world transactions that cannot be manipulated by financial trickery. One is the Baltic Dry Index, the price of shipping goods, mostly raw materials like oil, metals, grains etc. It is at a record low now.

    http://thedailycoin.org/wp-content/u...2.56.50-PM.png

    Another is the China Containerized Freight index, which measures the cost of shipping finished industrial goods out of China. It is also at a record low.

    http://thedailycoin.org/wp-content/u...2015-06-05.png

    Perhaps you have noticed your e-mail spam filter is now featuring more Chinese enterprises desperately seeking customers than Viagra ads or Nigerian scams. Clearly something big is about to happen in the worlds’ markets.

    There are a lot of people figuring this out now. The American Association of Individual Investors survey shows that in May of this year individual investors dropped the percentage of money they invest in shares to 57.8% from 67.9%. This is an astounding dumping of over 10% of their shares in exchange for cash in just one month. The Greeks are also bailing out of the Greek banking system at a rate of over 500 million Euros per day. This sort of thing is usually referred to as a bank run or as rats deserting a sinking ship.

    Insiders say the most likely candidate to play role of Lehman Brothers in the upcoming crisis is........

    this is by far the most important report Ben has delivered in a long time...

    "The attempt to start World War 3 in the Ukraine has blown up in the face of the Khazarain mob because it prompted a Russian intelligence dump. Here is some more of the information sent to us by Russian Intelligence in response to the recent Khazarian mafia attempt to portray Russia as a menace:

    “We did not blow up the WTC on 9/11/2001 with W-54 Davy Crockett Nuclear Pitts. We did not steal 350 decommissioned W-54 Davy Crockett US Nuclear Pitts from the backdoor of Pantex, Texas, USA, which were manufactured at the Hanford Nuclear Plant. We did not bring these stolen W-54 Pitts to Israel. We did not recondition them in Israel, and it was NOT US who brought these nuclear Pitts back through Houston, Texas to be stored in various Israeli Embassies, including the Israeli Embassy in New York, and we DID NOT take these nukes to the Twin Towers by using Israeli Urban Moving Systems.”

    In other words, the Russians are giving the Pentagon white hats detailed, actionable intelligence about Khazarian mass murder inside the United States..."


    "one of the leaders of Khazarian mafia, Henry Kissinger, became extremely angry, saying that “beautiful France can expect a regime overthrow!”"

    "The Russians also provided detailed intelligence on exactly how Vanguard subsidiary Raytheon, and two other companies, manufactured and used equipment to remotely hijack airplanes.

    Furthermore, the Russians have provided the Pentagon white hats with a detailed list of the Khazarian agents involved in the destruction of the World Trade Center Buildings on September 11th, 2001."


    "The other thing they said was that US Secretary of State John Kerry was shot by Khazarians because of his peace-making efforts with Iran and in the Ukraine. The bullet missed his heart by two inches, the sources say. They now expect payback against Israel, Victoria Nuland and her Khazarian bosses."


    "There is also increased military action against Israel and her ISIS proxy in the Middle-East, the sources say. The Russians have been selling advanced missiles to anti-Khazarian forces in the Middle-East while the pentagon has been supplying anti-tank weapons to Iran and its allies in the region.

    Also, Russia has been engaged in military maneuvers with Egypt that featured US F-16 fighter jets coordinating with the Russian navy.

    http://tass.ru/en/russia/800380

    Also, the death of the head of the Saudi Air-force, plus the missile attacks against Saudi Arabia have weakened Khazarian King Salman, who may soon be forced to resign “because of dementia,” the Pentagon sources say..."





    It is now known beyond any reasonable question that the 9-11-01 nuclear attack on America was an “Inside-job”, a Gladio-style false-Flag attack on America.

    What this means is that this attack was no surprise attack at all and was done with the help of some high ranking US Officials in the Administration, JCS, USAF, NORAD, the FAA and the local NYC government officials. link



    who says the news has no power, they just had to announce a building had collapsed, and wam bam thank ya maam, it did...

    Sorcha says Putin is going to demonstrate one of their advanced weapons tomorrow...

    "Most astounding to read in this MoD report is that not only has President Putin ordered the deployment of these much feared weapons, he has further authorized that one of them, a super-high-frequency (SHF) cannon, be demonstrated tomorrow “to certain Western powers” during the closed part of the international event Army-2015 organized by the Defense Ministry, the Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos) and state technology corporation Rostec."



    To the capabilities of the SHF weapon to be demonstrated to the West, a Kremlin authorized public report states that it creates an air-exclusion zone within a reported radius of over 10 kilometers around the defended object or installation, though the system’s exact characteristics are classified.

    “This mobile microwave irradiation complex performs off-frequency rejection of electronics aboard low-altitude aerial targets and warheads of high precision weapons,” a source in Rostec told TASS, adding this system puts close range air defenses on a whole new level. “In terms of performance capabilities, the complex has no competitors in the world,” the source said. All the equipment is mounted on a tracked Buk missile air defense transportation platform. [see photo above] link


    do you think Israel has noticed America has used Isis to completely surround Israel with military forces?

    if they set off a nuke in their new york embassy, let's direct it into wall street...

    bring down the computers with the bankers...

    when lights come back on it will be a new world...

    watch Greece, folks; Greece continues to be given one ultimatum after another in order clean up its financial household (next ultimatum runs out in 2 weeks "ho-hum") as if Greece is capable of somehow presenting all the money it's lost (thanks to international corruption) and cleaning up its financially ransacked kitchen; as soon as Greece defaults the floodgates of the Euro will spill and the waves will take the US dollar (backed by nothing) into its wake; we are most definitely living in "interesting times"-

    Bush, Rothschild prosecutions, new disclosures, Greece, all signs of accelerating cabal take down

    There are rapidly accelerating indications the Khazarian crime syndicate that illegally seized power in the United States and many European countries is being systematically dismantled. A New York appeals court, for example, has ruled that officials who served during the George Bush Jr. regime can be sued and can face criminal charges. That opens the way for the mass jailing of the perpetrators of the 911 mass murder incident.

    http://www.nydailynews.com/news/poli...icle-1.2262084

    Another sign is that a French judge has ordered one of the most senior members of the Rothschild family, Baron David de Rothschild, to be questioned by police on fraud charges.

    http://www.theolivepress.es/spain-ne...er-fraud-case/

    Also, the killing of J.P Morgan (Bush) bankers has reached a new height with the “sudden death” of their Vice Chairman and high powered deal maker Jimmy Lee. More than a dozen JP Morgan bankers have died suddenly recently and it is clear somebody is following a trail. Rest assured that trail leads to the Bush/Clinton crime family.

    Meanwhile, there is a growing consensus the Greek crisis is coming to a head soon and massive withdrawals of Euros from Greek banks show that at the street level people know a Greek default is inevitable. However, a formal Greek default would start a domino effect that would topple Germany, France and the rest of the Euro zone before eventually reaching the United States. For that reason the Greek government knows that the EU central bank, the IMF and their Fed bosses will not pull the plug on them but will instead buy time with various accounting tricks. That is why Greece’s Economy Minister made confident predictions about the Greek debt crisis in Moscow last week after meeting with Russian officials.

    http://tass.ru/en/world/802620

    Despite all the fudged numbers and smoke and mirrors coming out of Western governments, the Western financial system (the Federal Reserve Board) is already bankrupt. The Fed’s corporate subsidiary, the United States of America Corporation headed by “acting president” Barack Obama has been issuing fake financial data for years now to create the appearance all is well. Recently, for example, their total debt numbers have stayed frozen at $18.11 trillion since March 16th, over 100 days.

    The White Dragon Foundation also received new confirmation the Fed has been bankrupt for a lot longer than that. Some senior Asian bankers who met with Alan Greenspan (when he was head of the Fed) and with then US president Al Gore to ask about Manchurian gold the Fed was obligated to return to them were told by Greenspan........

    Nice crunchy report for a change... or at least what he has written here... that smacks pretty solid with my own interpretation of what I see financially in the global market... And Greece is the best player for this position... lol... (they may have underestimated those Greeks after all ...LoL! ) Putin has given them all the negotiation leverage they need, whatever they end up doing... Russia is looking more and more like the "Rebel Forces" to the US's "Imperial Stormtroopers".

    One more reason and perfect example why we DON'T want to live under a ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT... Because IF that was the case, Greece would be on it's knees getting raped right now (even worse then what they already got suckered into...) they may have just figured it out... in any event they know they can flip over to the BRICS and the new Eastern Commerce Markets in a heartbeat and be a key player in that economic train which is clearly leaving the station...

    All aboaaarrrrrddd! next stop global economic shifts on the horizon...

    Crisis Report from a Greek Island

    http://henrymakow.com/

    It feels like any other summer, people are strolling in the plateia, yachts in the harbour, restaurants opening. All is calm on the surface, but this past week Greeks were finding new places to invest their money: flower pots, mattresses. My Greek friend "Zorba" was in the port and spoke to a woman who said 'Haven't you taken all your money out of the bank yet?"

    Crisis: a greek word meaning "decision".

    The far-left government of Alexis Tsipras had just declared the Greek debt to the IMF Troika 'odious' and 'illegal' meaning the country was headed for default. So last Friday 'Zorba' stood in line to withdraw his paltry savings, and now they're in an empty dog-food can in our kitchen.

    Rumours were flying that when (or if) the banks reopen on Monday, there will be no more Euros, and the country will be back on the drachma. The European bankers were sharpening their fangs. Monday came - that was this morning -- with news of a reprieve. A late-night, last minute, €18 billion bailout offer could postpone disaster for another six months.

    After 6 years of dire news, there is little panic, just a country sailing slowly into the sunset.How many more cruise ships - or last-minute bailouts - will appear on the horizon before Greece sinks?

    lemnosmap.jpeg
    We live on an acre of land next to an ancient fortress known as the Castro, on a northern island called Lemnos which is opposite Troy, 50 km east on the Turkish Coast. Getting here this time was a problem as the ferries keep breaking down. Lemnos has been a strategic island ever since the Trojan War and more recently was a stepping off point for the Gallipoli campaign, with troops stationed here en route to the battlefields of the Crimea.

    Now the island is also reputed to be the centre for electronic warfare in the Aegean, and 'Zorba' tells me he has seen one of the main underground facilities near the mountain village where he owns land on the slopes of an extinct volcano.

    'Zorba' says Alexis Tsipras (the new PM) is just another Zionist agent destroying the country.

    People are suffering -- shops are closing. Two years ago, the owner of a cyber café (whose Russian waitresses moonlighted as prostitutes) shot himself because he could no longer face his debts.

    The local grocer can't pay his electricity bill and has installed a noisy generator. He owed so much money to creditors, they came around to his store and forced him and his elderly brother to take off their trousers and be paraded around the port with ropes around their necks in broad daylight, in front of the men in the cafe neon.

    The old-line Communists no longer stage many rallies with speeches and playing of old Theodorakis tapes on the loudspeaker -- they have been replaced by the new, far-left Syriza party which won the election back in January. Many new cars speed on the roads, allowing people to shop at a new chain supermarket that offers cheap prices.

    Not long ago, the baker shut down his oven in the market because he couldn't afford the gas bill. We can no longer use his oven for our household baking - which used to be a tradition in Greek villages and towns.

    Because the electric bill in Greece often arrives with a property tax notice, 'Zorba' cancelled his account three years ago, and installed a basic solar system - enough to run a refrigerator in summer for 8 hours a day. At night we switch it off. Much of our food comes from our garden, including edible weeds (purslane and amaranth).

    NATURE

    Nature used to be our friend, but Greeks can no longer even count on their weather.This year has been much wetter than usual. Destructive windstorms are also more common. 'Zorba' says this is because the Zionists are trying to destroy this year's food crop and further impoverish Greece. He sees geo-engeering and GMOS as part of that same agenda. Unlike North Americans, Greek TV and radio sometimes discuss chemtrails and other conspiracy theories.

    We have also seen the effects in our garden of GM seeds which produce food for one year only, then become sterile. Traditionally, on this island, people save (and share) seeds but that has become risky with the invasion of hybrid plants and Terminator seeds.

    Lemnos (which used to be self-sufficient in agriculture) is far enough from Athens that it remains a laid-back easy-going place. There are still shepherds here: one told us he can't pay his mortgage. A few years back, he made the mistake of taking out a loan. "What will happen? Will the police come and take away my house?"

    The island also has its drug traffickers - not surprising since young people have no jobs, and the police are corrupt. We know a photographer and citizen journalist whose store front was attacked by unemployed kids. The police did nothing, and the kids involved turned out to be a gang of police informers. For complaining, he was place in a psych ward. drugged and held for a month.

    I spoke to an American friend who has been living on another island for several decades. When she arrived in 1972, the drachma was worth almost nothing, and life was incredibly cheap. At 76, she has no pension, and a house but the rent consumes almost all her tiny income. She told me she got through last week by fasting for three days.

    As for Zorba and me, (left) we have a garden. Monsanto has made inroads here and you can't depend on other plants -- we have seen strange hybrids etc. and even though we have honey bees, we're still not sure about this year's cucumbers. This week I made purslane pesto, purslane stir fry, purslane with rice. And dolmades, from leaves from our grapevine. We are also growing lots of beans this year because you never know when supplies might run out. Today I'll probably make potato salad with beans and purslane, which we'll wash down with retsina and ouzo.

    Forty years ago, when people were poor and the drachma worth little, there was the consolation of a way of life that had existed for centuries." Now they ask" "How are things in Canada?" I say our banks are strong, and we are living on dirty oil.

    "The party is over" is a phrase you heard often a few years back, when new taxes were announced every week. Greeks would be taxed for having children, making their own olive oil, or growing vegetables, in addition to the new property taxes which could double if left unpaid. There was no end to the Draconian measures the right wing government introduced to please its European lenders.

    I was here the night Syriza won the election back in January. As the votes were being tallied on TV, a fisherman walked into the harbour side restaurant with a basket of sardines and called out "These are for Alexis Tsipras!" - people laughed. It made the results seem all the more heartwarming. Later I saw the €60,000 sonar device that locates schools of fish so he can eke out a living in the depleted sea.

    If Greece returns to the drachma, will it go back to being the way it was when I first came here 35 years ago? Not likely. It isn't only Greece that has changed -- the global pursuit of wealth has eliminated the earthly paradises by devastating the eco-systems that made them possible.

    Greece would be a great country to "refurbish" with alternative energy... they have tons of sunlight, and could easily become hyper efficient energy users... even with today's technology... Someone wants to buy them out, on the cheap...

    And why the hell is ANYONE on this planet using GMO seeds!!!!!!!!!!!!??????????

    From my European relative:
    I know three young people in their late twenties one American grad from IT grad/management Columbia Univ., her husband Belgian IT tech guy, and my Czech friend....all have been recently hired by huge companies to do testing and IT support for all the banks here who are getting 'standardized'. The companies have TONS of openings and the contracts are luring all the young people in to get started at ground level. They are giving cars away and everything! Some of the companies asked only for High School diploma!

    you could pick out one thing from Ben's report...

    "Supreme Court is expected to take a decisive role in curbing Khazarian power over the coming months, the sources say. They expect rulings against Obamacare, gay marriage and many other issues being pushed by the Khazarians. The Supreme Court is now apparently under the influence of the pentagon, the P2 freemason lodge and Pope Francis."

    US Supreme court approves Nationwide same sex marriages, and Locked Obamacare in stone...

    do you discredit the whole report finding one piece that isn't right?

    or did this decision happen this week as a reply to one of the other sides demands...
