Pai acum v-ati dat seama? Se stie deja de ce avanseaza lucrurile atat de rapid.
Eu nu spun ca orice e tehnologie e nociv. Pana la un punct ea este utila pentru ca usureaza munca. Insa tehnologia asta ultraavansata este indreptata impotriva omului.
aniush,
nici o tehnologie nu e buna! „în sudoarea feţei tale îţi vei căştiga pâinea”, prin munca pământului, iar pamantul va da de-acum palamida. Atunci cand lucrezi fara masinarie e mult mai greu, pentru ca Dumnezeu asta vrea sa te trudesti tu si sa te rogi, stii de pilda de ce pe vremea lui Avraam nu erau asa multe materiale sau bogatii ca acum sau lux? Pentru ca pentru Avraam nimic nu contat si pentru el nu era vrednic nimic de pe pamant, el insusi era VREDNIC DE IMPARATIA LUI DUMNEZEU pentru ca era drept inaintea lui Dumnezeu, dar astazi de aceea sunt atatea luxuri si materiale si bogatii, pentru ca omul nu mai e vrednic de Dumnezeu, pentru ca el deja isi cauta alinare in materie si nu isi mai pune nadejdea in Dumnezeu! Cu cat iti ‘usurezi’ munca prin materie (masinarii) si nu prin rugaciune (muncind pamantul „pana te vei intoarce in pamantul de unde ai fost luat”) cu atat te departezi de Dumnezeu, zici: „ce-mi mai trebuie Dumnezeu, am tehnologie, mi-e usor acum sa fac orice!” ba unii vor sa ajunga dumnezei prin tehnologie, clonând! Vai ce ticalosie, am intrecut orice limita. Oare daca aveau nevoie de ‘usurarea muncii’ Dumnezeu nu le-ar fi dat si lui Adam si Evei masinarii? Doar erau cei mai luminati oameni si Adam stim ca a fost cel care a dat nume tuturor animalelor etc.etc.! Dar nu s-ar mai fi pocait daca aveau lux! Si nici nu si-ar mai fi pus nadejdea in Dumnezeu, de aceea nu aveau nimic din ce avem noi decat LACRIMI DE POCAINTA! De atat ai nevoie. Avraam nu ere vrednic de nimic de pe pamant, insa noi suntem total opusi lui, de aceea vremurile astea!
Help defend Ukraine? Nein, Danke, say East Germans
Germans who were repressed when they lived under communist rule in East Germany are wary of Germany providing cash or weapons to help Ukraine in its effort to turn to the West.
Analyst of the Peoples’ Militia Prokhorov informed about the possible offensive of Ukrainian troops, the counteroffensive of the Army of Novorossiya and expected liberation of Avdeyevka from Ukrainian occupational troops.
As far as the liberation of Avdeyevka is concerned:
“People’s Militia does not have enough forces to storm Avdeyevka, but it can squeeze the Ukies out of the town.
The Ukies are being beaten near Avdeyevka, in the area of Peski and Krasnogorovka.
Right now the Ukies are withdrawing their battered units from the. However, it looks like the reinforcements are arriving there as well. We will learn more in the morning”.
Concerning the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the counteroffensive of the Army of Novorossiya:
“We should not fear today’s fighting: the Ukies are getting ready for an offensive in the nearest future and today’s fighting will annihilate (or weaken) their offensive potential.
I recently spoke with Russian blogger Rozhin Boris, otherwise known as Colonel Cassad, whose indepth reports from the front lines of Novorossia shed a lot of light on military/political developments in this war torn region.
The United Nations has recently estimated that over 3,660 people have been killed in the fighting in Eastern Ukraine. Could you describe the extent of the humanitarian crisis facing ordinary people in Novorossia?
This assessment is very far from the reality. The armed forces of the Kiev junta have lost 12 to 18 thousand dead. They are responsible for the deaths of thousands of civilians. The militias of Novorossia have lost 5-6,000 dead. The total number of deaths is approximately 25-30 thousand with of tens of thousands of wounded militia members, civilians and junta soldiers. Officially more than 250,000 civilians have fled the Donbass, unofficially its over a million. The Donbass is facing a humanitarian catastrophe.
Should the people of Donetsk and Lugansk regions be allowed to decide their own fate? The right of nations to self-determination has a long history in the region. When the Bolsheviks came to power in 1917 Lenin proclaimed this right for national groups living within the Russian Empire, and Finland gained its independence. Why do you think the US and it’s European allies steadfastly refuse to recognise the national aspirations of the people of Lugansk and Donetsk?
Soros’s statement in the above article is the usual BS propaganda and lies issued by Soros’s „Ministry of Truth” propaganda industry and media outlets upon which he spends hundreds of millions of dollars a year on keeping the American people deceived and misinformed on behalf of the CFR, Wall Street, Neocons and for his own private profits.

ROMA, 1 sep – RIA Novosti. Ministrul afacerilor externe din Italia Federica Morenini, care, sâmbătă, a fost ales noul șef al diplomației UE și va intra în funcție la 1 noiembrie, este de părere că Rusia nu mai este un partener strategic al Europei.
Pentru adeptii fracturarii hidraulice:pe linga faptul ca este si toxica este si nesustenabila fiind o bulasau o schema Ponzi – http://ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schem%C4%83_Ponzi…sau mai bine o schema Caritas…
drop in the prices of oil [..] is very pricey, especially for the US shale gas industry.
A low oil price certainly is bad for all oil exporting countries.
When it comes to US shale, however, the industry has never been profitable, and is probably best described as a bubble or ponzi scheme.
In other words, popping the shale bubble this way might actually prove beneficial for the US economically, as an earlier pop means popping a smaller (debt) balloon. It might even be convenient for some of those early shale evangelists, who can now declare the looming shale failure in North America collateral damage of the energy war against Russia and Iran (if that is what’s going on).
Shale Fracking Is a “Ponzi Scheme” … “This Decade’s Version of The Dotcom Bubble” … “A Lot In Common With the Subprime Mortgage Market Just Before It Melted Down”
The Big Fracking Bubble: The Scam Behind Aubrey McClendon’s Gas Boom
It’s not only toxic – it’s driven by a right-wing billionaire who profits more from flipping land than drilling for gas
The collapse in US oil prices since September may very soon collapse the US shale oil bubble and tear away the illusion that the United States will surpass Saudi Arabia and Russia as the world’s largest oil producer. That illusion, fostered by faked resource estimates issued by the US Department of Energy, has been a lynchpin of Obama geopolitical strategy.
Now the financial Ponzi scheme behind the increase of US domestic oil output the past several years is about to evaporate in a cloud of fictitious smoke. The basic economics of shale oil production are being ravaged by the 23% oil price drop since John Kerry and Saudi King Abdullah had their secret meeting near the Red Sea in early September to agree on the Saudi oil price war against Russia.
The world is in a dangerous place now. A large share of oil sellers need the revenue from oil sales. They have to continue producing, regardless of how low oil prices go unless they are stopped by bankruptcy, revolution, or something else that gives them a very clear signal to stop. Producers of oil from US shale are in this category, as are most oil exporters, including many of the OPEC countries and Russia.
Some large oil companies, such as Shell and ExxonMobil, decided even before the recent drop in prices that they couldn’t make money by developing available producible resources at then-available prices, likely around $100 barrel. See my post, Beginning of the End? Oil Companies Cut Back on Spending. These large companies are in the process of trying to sell off acreage, if they can find someone to buy it. Their actions will eventually lead to a drop in oil production, but not very quickly–maybe in a couple of years.
So there is a definite time lag in slowing production–even with very low prices. In fact, if US shale production keeps rising, and Libya and Iraq keep work at getting oil production on line, we may even see an increase in world oil production, at a time when world oil production needs to decline.
A Decrease in Oil Prices May Not Fix Oil Demand
At the same time, demand doesn’t pick up quickly as prices drop. We are dealing with a world that has a huge amount of debt. China in particular has been on a debt binge that cannot continue at the same pace. A reduction in China’s debt, or even slower growth in its debt, reduces growth in the demand for oil, and thus its price. The same situation holds for other countries that are now saturated with debt, and trying to come closer to balancing their budgets.

Russia, too, is constrained by interdependence, although less so than China given its energy-concentrated economy and more modest levels of external trade and investment. That means sanctions have a chance of influencing its behavior over time. Putin’s foreign policy may be revanchist, but Russia’s hard- and soft-power resources are both limited. Russia no longer represents anything that appeals to anyone other than ethnic Russians, and as a result, the geopolitical troubles it can cause will remain on Europe’s periphery, without touching the continent’s core. Indeed, the critical elements of Europe’s transformation over the past 70 years – the democratization of Germany, Franco-German reconciliation, economic integration – are so robust that they can reasonably be taken for granted. Europe’s parochialism and military weakness may make the region a poor partner for the United States in global affairs, but the continent itself is no longer a security problem, which is a huge advance on the past.

North America could once again become the world’s economic engine, given its stable, prosperous, and open economy; its 470 million people; and its emerging energy self-sufficiency. Latin America is, for the most part, at peace. Mexico is a far more stable and successful country than it was a decade ago, as is Colombia. Questions hovering over the futures of such countries as Brazil, Chile, Cuba, and Venezuela do not alter the fundamental narrative of a region heading in the right direction. And Africa, too, has a growing number of countries in which better governance and economic performance are becoming the norm rather than the exception.
„The Ukrainians are manipulating the EU,” a senior EU official involved in negotiations told Reuters, saying the bloc was „waking up” to a need to better defend its own interests.
„There may be, in certain sections of the Ukrainian government, an interest in colluding with the Russians and instrumentalizing to a certain extent the EU,” he added.
Today churches of Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Moscow Patriarchate in the Western Ukraine are being seized by schismatics of the so called „Kievan Patriarchate” (with the help of Right Sector and other neo-Nazi thugs), priests of UOCMP are beaten and tortured.
They call it the Ulfkotte-effect. And it’s beginning to resemble an avalanche.
Since the publication of Udo Ulfkotte’s “Gekaufte Journalisten“ in September – now a #1 Amazon bestseller, in which he charges that the CIA regularly bribes top German journalists, himself included, – German readers’ disaffection towards their mainstream media appears to have crossed a point of no return.
Granted, sales of newspapers and magazines have fallen everywhere, not just in Germany. But this is different. This is a boycott that is affecting web traffic. Germans are steering clear of mainstream media websites.
Many Germans have not been too shy to announce their intention on social networks. Some have uploaded videos calling for a boycott on YouTube. Others have created groups calling for the same on Facebook.
The other visible result of reader disaffection has been that throughout September the number of unique visitors to six major German newspapers and magazines was falling steadily.
Putin Defies The West, Leads BRICS Alliance Away From NWO Reservation Vladimir Putin’s Russia: Perfect Foil To The Anglo-American Axis And Their New World ‘Order’ Secret History Revealed — Putin Played Critical Role After The Pre-Planned Collapse Of The USSR
Ed Snowden’s latest leaked documents open the lid on what is perhaps the most vindictive and disgusting aspect of the government-corporate joint surveillance state seen yet…
This is Britain’s GCHQ how-to guide for Online Covert Action which, according to Glenn Greenwald (see links below) has been shared with US agencies like the NSA. Upon review, it can only be described as government-sponsored subterfuge of domestic society.
According to these latest documents, there are paid government agent/contractor persons on social media posing as someone they are not, whilst on the payroll of the government. Their job is to befriend members of the alternative media, embed themselves in the ebb and flow of day-to-day communications, and then to engage in elaborate subterfuge – by any means necessary. The training exercise below uses terms like “befriend”, “infiltrate”, “mask/mimic”, “ruse”, “set-up”, “disrupt”, “create cognitive stress”, “use deception”, “ruin business relationships”, and “post negative information on appropriate forums” – all of which is not only illegal and morally bankrupt, but also runs completely contrary to the very fundamental ‘values’ and indeed founding principles, of a modern free democratic society or constitutional republic.
On Friday, the Ukrainian military’s PR machine spun-up its latest episode of the illusive “Russian Invasion”, this time accusing Moscow of dispatching a column of 32 tanks and “truckloads of Russian troops” into the country’s eastern region.
The West are being very choosy with their language – in case they have to deny they ever said it later. Presently, the West and Kiev are stopping short of labeling the non-event as an invasion, instead calling it “Russian aggression”, and a “cross-border incursion” to aid separatists, with the all-important caveat of “unconfirmed report”, a PR system standardized by CIA media handlers currently in residence inside the US-backed Kiev regime.
Snowpiercer stands out as a recent example of a trend fans of film are witnessing more of: philosophically-focused science fiction and fantasy.
While it could be argued that many science fiction classics deal with some philosophical themes, the trend has become far more common than in previous decades. In the last several years, films such as, After the Dark, The Double, Enemy, Another Earth, as well as many others, ask audiences to grapple with complex conundrums such as globalism, meaning and the self, morality and death, and even deeper esoteric questions, like alternate worlds and mystical symbology.
While Hollywood is busy with found-footage horror, cynical raunchy comedies and comic book blockbusters (the latter of which do incorporate conspiriana), lesser-known independent films are touching on far more abtruse matters that extend beyond the realm of the political. Seeing new films clearly influenced by Terry Gilliam, for example, is a welcomed beacon of hope. A rebellion in the arts – towards asking meaningful questions that challenge social engineering and prepackaged think-tank paradigms is precisely what is needed, and that is partly my intention with my work at Jay’s Analysis.
“The world is on the brink of a new Cold War. Some say it has already begun, “ said the 83-year-old former Kremlin chief in a sombre speech delivered in Berlin at an event to mark the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall this weekend.
He was speaking as reports from eastern Ukraine suggested that Kiev’s troops and the Russia-backed rebels may be preparing for renewed fighting. Agency reporters in eastern Ukraine said they saw more than 80 unmarked military vehicles on the move on Saturday in rebel-controlled areas of eastern Ukraine.
The apparent escalation threatens the fragile ceasefire agreed in Minsk in early September and increases the danger of further pressure on east-west relations.
DONETSK, November 7 (TASS) – The Ukrainian Army’s artillery targeted two kindergartens and a university over the past 24 hours in Donetsk, the Interior Ministry of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic said on Friday.
Three districts in Donetsk came under intense fire on Thursday in which three people were killed and at least ten others were injured, the ministry said in a statement.
The shell hit a lecture hall of a railways university in the Kiev district in northern Donetsk, injuring a young man aged 20 and other men who were working there, the statement reads.
Another man was wounded as shells hit a kindergarten in the city.

Neocon claims of East European „betrayal” miss the point: East European states are sovereign nations and have the right to pursue good relations with Russia

The Russian Air Force Khibiny is an advanced aircraft-mounted electronic warfare (EW) system capable of jamming state-of-the-art air defense radar systems. The Khibiny jamming was tested successfully for some time on the ground in Buryatia, Russian Federation. On April 17, 2014, two Russian Air Force Su-24 bombers with no weapons loaded were sent to intercept the US Navy’s AEGIS-equipped destroyer USS Donald Cook in the Black Sea. One of them flied around the destroyer up to 12 times while the other one remained away as done usually by both sides during the Cold War period. Unconfirmed reports suggest that the Su-24s were equipped with the Khibiny EW system and were able to neutralize the AEGIS phased array radar target tracking capabilities while the ship’s crew was unable to re-boot the system. It is not clear whether the jammer affected the radar system itself or only the computer-based component or either both at the same time. The Russian Air Force plans call for the installation of the Khibiny jammer on all its advanced jets.
What frightened the USS Donald Cook so much in the Black Sea?
On 10 April 2014, the USS Donald Cook entered the waters of the Black Sea and on 12 April a Russian Su-24 tactical bomber flew over the vessel triggering an incident that, according to several media reports, completely demoralized its crew, so much so that the Pentagon issued a protest [1].
The USS Donald Cook (DDG-75) is a 4th generation guided missile destroyer whose key weapons are Tomahawk cruise missiles with a range of up to 2,500 kilometers, and capable of carrying nuclear explosives. This ship carries 56 Tomahawk missiles in standard mode, and 96 missiles in attack mode.
The US destroyer is equipped with the most recent Aegis Combat System. It is an integrated naval weapons systems which can link together the missile defense systems of all vessels embedded within the same network, so as to ensure the detection, tracking and destruction of hundreds of targets at the same time. In addition, the USS Donald Cook is equipped with 4 large radars, whose power is comparable to that of several stations. For protection, it carries more than fifty anti-aircraft missiles of various types.
Meanwhile, the Russian Su-24 that buzzed the USS Donald Cook carried neither bombs nor missiles but only a basket mounted under the fuselage, which, according to the Russian newspaper Rossiyskaya Gazeta [2], contained a Russian electronic warfare device called Khibiny.
…
The Russian Su-24 then simulated a missile attack against the USS Donald Cook, which was left literally deaf and blind. As if carrying out a training exercise, the Russian aircraft – unarmed – repeated the same maneuver 12 times before flying away.
…
According to some specialized media, 27 sailors from the USS Donald Cook requested to be relieved from active service.
Russian Vulnerabilities: The Limits of Putin’s Restoration of Russian Sovereignty
In the aftermath of the Western and Russian oligarch’s pillage of the Russian economy and the savage degradation of Russian society, President Putin pursued a complex strategy.
First, he sought to differentiate between ‘political’ and ‘economic’ oligarchs: the latter included oligarchs willing to co-operate with the government in rebuilding the economy and willing to confine their activity to the generous guidelines set forth by President Putin. They retained enormous economic power and profits, but not political power. In exchange, Putin allowed the ‘economic’ oligarchs to maintain their dubiously-acquired business empires. In contrast, those oligarchs who sought political power and financed Yeltsin-era politicians were targeted – some were stripped of their fortunes and others were prosecuted for crimes, ranging from money laundering, tax evasion, swindles and illegal transfer of funds overseas up to financing the murder of their rivals.
The second focus of President Putin’s early political strategy was to deepen Russian cooperation with Western states and economies but on the basis of reciprocal market exchanges rather than one-sided, Western appropriation of Russian resources prevalent under Yeltsin. Putin sought to secure greater political-military integration with the US and EU to ensure Russian borders and spheres of influence. To that end, President Putin opened Russian military bases and supply lines for the US-EU military forces engaged in the invasion and occupation of Afghanistan and he did not oppose the EU-US sanctions against Iran. Putin acquiesced to the US invasion and occupation of Iraq, despite Russia’s long standing economic ties with Baghdad. He joined the five powers ‘overseeing” the Palestine – Israeli ‘peace’ talks and went along with Washington’s one-sided support of Israel. He even gave the ‘green light’ to the NATO bombing of Libya, naively assuming it would be a limited affair – a ‘humanitarian’ intervention.
As a result of Putin’s political and diplomatic collusion with the Washington-NATO military expansion, Russian trade, investment and finance with the West prospered. Russian firms raised loans in Western capital markets; foreign investors flocked to the Russian stock market and multi-nationals formed joint ventures. Major oil and gas ventures flourished. The Russian economy recovered the living standards of the Soviet era; consumer spending boomed; unemployment fell from double to single digit; salaries and back wages were paid and research centers, universities, schools and cultural institutions began to recover.
The third component of Putin’s strategy was the state recovery (re-nationalization) of the strategic oil and gas sector. By outright purchase and buy-outs, through financial audits and the confiscation of the assets of gangster oligarchs, the Russian state takeover of oil and gas was successful. These re-nationalized sectors formed joint ventures with Western oil giants and led Russian exports during a period of peak energy demand. With the rise in oil prices over the Putin decade, Russia experienced a consumer-driven import boom – from agricultural commodities to luxury jewelry and autos… Putin consolidated his electoral support and deepened Russia’s ‘integration’ in Western markets.
Putin’s expansion and growth strategy looked exclusively westward to the EU and US, and not east to Asia/China or south to Latin America.
With this focus on the West, Putin’s initial tactical success began to expose Russia’s strategic vulnerabilities. The first signs were evident in the Western support for the corrupt oligarchs’ anti-Putin campaign and the media’s demonization of the Russian judicial system which prosecuted and convicted gangster oligarchs, like Mikhail Khodorkovsky . The second sign was the West’s financial and political support of the Yeltsin-era neo-liberals competing against Putin’s United Russia Party and candidates…It became clear that Putin’s effort to restore Russian sovereignty conflicted with the West’s plans to maintain Russia as a vassal state. The West favorably counterpoised the Golden Years of unrestrained pillage and domination of the Yeltsin period to the Putin era of an independent and dynamic Russia – by constantly tying the Russian president to the defunct Soviet Union and the KGB.
In 2010, the US encouraged its client, President Saakashvili of Georgia to invade Russia’s protectorate in South Ossetia. This was the first major indication that Putin’s accommodation with the West was counter-productive. Russian territorial borders, its allies and spheres of influence became Western targets. The US and EU condemned Russia’s defensive response even as Moscow withdrew its troops from Georgia after applying a sound beating.
Georgia was a militarist dress rehearsal; one of several western planned and financed coups – some dubbed ‘color revolutions’ other’s NATO ‘humanitarian interventions’. Yugoslavia in the Balkans was fragmented by NATO bombing and Ukraine had several ‘color’ uprisings up to the present bloody ‘civil war’. Washington and Brussels interpreted Putin’s series of conciliatory measures as weakness and felt free to encroach further on Russia’s frontier and to knock off regimes friendly to Russia.
By the middle of the second decade of the new century, the US and EU made a major strategic decision to weaken Russia’s security and its economy sovereignty: to seize control over Ukraine, expel Russia from its Black Sea military base in Crimea, convert the Ukraine into an advanced NATO outpost and cut Eastern Ukraine’s economic ties with Russia – especially the Russian market for the strategic Ukrainian military weaponry. The coup was financed by the West, while far-right and neo-Nazi Ukraine gangs provided the shock troops .The Kiev junta organized a war of conquest directed at purging the anti-coup, pro-democracy forces in the southeast Donbas region with its Russian ethnic majority and heavy industrial ties to Russia.
When Putin finally recognized the clear danger to Russia’s national security, his government responded by annexing Crimea after a popular referendum and started to provide sanctuary and supply lines for the embattled anti-Kiev federalists in eastern Ukraine. The West exploited the vulnerabilities in the Russian economy, which had resulted from Putin’s development model, and imposed wide-reaching economic sanctions designed to cripple Russia’s economy.
A secret memo from the FBI’s archives has revealed that Britain’s Winston Churchill once urged the US to drop an atomic bomb to „wipe out” the Kremlin. He reportedly thought it was the only remedy against the spread of communism to the west.
Churchill, Britain’s prime minister during World War II and again during the Cold War 1950s, made his views known to a visiting American politician in 1947, The Daily Mail reported in a preview of a new book, “When Lions Roar: The Churchills and The Kennedys” by investigative journalist Thomas Maier. The book containing the secret FBI memo is to be published next month.
Britain and the Soviet Union had been allies during WW2. However, according to the memo written by an FBI agent, Churchill asked a Right-wing Republican senator, Styles Bridges, to help persuade then-President Harry Truman to launch a nuclear attack which would make the former USSR easy to deal with.
The FBI memo claims Churchill insisted that the „only salvation for the civilization of the world would be if the President of the United States would declare Russia to be imperiling world peace and attack Russia.”
The Soviet Union tested its first atomic bomb in 1949, much to the surprise to the United States, which was apparently unaware that the Soviet Union possessed nuclear weapons.
Roman Gnatyuk is a real reporter for Ukrainian TV, who actually reported on the situation in Donbass as he saw it! This did not please, Anton Herashchenko, the adviser of President Poroshenko on the issues of the so-called Anti-Terrorist Operations .
End result; a swift movement of a mouse and the end of the live broadcast. Live Censorship.
Finian Cunningham (SCF) : Kiev’s President Petro Poroshenko this week called on his fawning Uncle Sam to resuscitate the Geneva format of peace talks. This forum was first convoked back in April between the US, European Union, Russia and the Kiev regime, with the latter arrogating the title of «Ukraine».
Then only two days after this sudden nostalgia for Geneva, the Kiev regime was accusing Russia of a major cross-border military invasion into eastern Ukraine.
So, what is it? Peace talks, or war? Or maybe both at the same time? The trouble is the Western-backed Kiev regime doesn’t know what it wants, vacillating from one polar opposite to another. The mercurial mendacious logic belies ulterior motives, as always.
How US Rabbis & Israel Traffic In Human Organs & Money Laundering
How US Rabbis & Israel Traffic In Human Organs, Jews Murder & Sell Arab Organs!
“A KIDNEY BY ANY OTHER NAME WOULD SMELL AS SOUR,” can be said of the organ-trafficking and money-laundering FBI sting operation which implicated five Talmudic rabbis from New York and neighboring New Jersey.
This international rabbinical operation spanned from Jewish-entrenched New York to the Jewish state of Israel.
The FBI used an informant, a Talmudic Jew named Solomon Dwek, to approach the rabbis — who were from the Syrian Jewish community in Brooklyn NY and Deal NJ — to help hide his assets. Deal is a wealthy oceanfront borough of New Jersey where the rabbis and their Jewish accomplices have posh summer homes.
Solomon Dwek, a bankrupt real-estate developer was charged in 2006 with scheming to defraud PNC Bank out of $50 million. The FBI enlisted Dwek in 2007 in a plea-bargaining arrangement due to Dwek facing a penalty of 30 years in prison. As a co-operating witness, Dwek was used to expose illicit charity operations run by the rabbis.
Over the course of two years, Dwek arranged to buy a kidney from the rabbis and hid $3 million in assets from creditors through the rabbis’ tax-exempt charitable organizations — all with the blessing of the FBI.

We, CyberBerkut, continue to make known to public junta accomplices’ crimes against their fellow citizens.
Today we publish the Ukrainian Prosecutor-General’s statement prepared for an interdepartmental conference which we found on the official’s PC.
In his statement Vitaliy Yarema tries to reach out the punishers indicating the facts of multiple crimes committed by them:
„Military prosecutions opened 65 criminal cases on the facts of committed crimes which are related to arms or their exercise during only the period of September-October, 2014 (after of truce announcement) in the area of the anti-terror operation”.
The Ukrainian Prosecutor-General makes examples of the cruel crimes against civilians committed by the voluntary subdivisions’ fighters:
„The soldiers of the 24th regional defense battalion Bespaly S.F. and Khelemendrik S.L. at about 9 pm broke in a private house of Shevchenko I.V. in Peschanoe village. These soldiers, threatening with a gun, tied Shevchenko I.V., put a sack on his head and took him out at unknown direction. Moreover, they poured him by petrol, set him on fire and hit his left leg by a knife as well. As result of soldiers’ wrongful acts, Shevchenko got burns on the body and bodily injuries of different severities”.
The junta’s representatives are surprised to know that mad „ATO heroes” are killing civil citizens instead of protecting them from mythical „terrorists”:
„October 22, 2014, two soldiers of the B0095 troops body being in a state of alcoholic intoxication mocked and then killed two civilians”.
According to Yarema’s facts ATO participants first of all should be protected from themselves:
„October 18, 2014, 9 pm, a serviceman of the B2317 troops body being in a state of alcoholic intoxication opened fire by a rifle AK-74, 4 servicemen died and 1 got bullet wound as a result”.
As the Prosecutor-General notices mentioned crimes are not singular.
BEIJING, November 9 (RIA Novosti) – Russian natural gas supplies to China via the „western route” pipeline could exceed deliveries to Europe in the mid-term perspective, Gazprom CEO Alexei Miller said Sunday in Beijing.
Miller, who heads Russia’s state-run energy giant, told reporters that „taking into account the increase in deliveries via ‘western route,’ the volume of supplied [natural gas] to China could exceed European exports in the mid-term perspective.”
BEIJING, November 9 (RIA Novosti) – Russia’s President Vladimir Putin and China’s President Xi Jinping have discussed the possibility of using the yuan in mutual transactions in different fields of cooperation, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Sunday.
„Much attention has been paid to the topic of mutual payments in diverse fields … in yuans which will help to strengthen the yuan as the region’s reserve currency,” Peskov said commenting on the meeting held between Putin and Xi on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Beijing.

The West is using the spectre of a big Russian naval base in Ochamchire to run away from acting according to its own principles and justify its many previous instances of doing so. Protesting about it, and telling unsubstantiated stories about it, are meant to cover the fact that if the West really objected to Russia’s actions it would try to remove Russia from Abkhazia, but has no intention of doing so, and therefore has no real objection to the things it says are going on.
Pragmatists may argue that principles have to be sacrificed in real, practical situations. But as we have seen in Afghanistan, the West’s own friends have to pay a high price for such hypocrisy. The West has never repudiated its refusal to counter the Soviet invasion with anything real. It is continuing to pursue the line that protesting with words, but not actually doing anything, is justified, and the destruction and misery inflicted on others in consequence is merely acceptable collateral damage.
As long as the West objects to the Russian presence in Abkhazia but doesn’t believe in its own principles we will hear story after story to justify previous unprincipled inactions. Pragmatists themselves are well aware that you cannot resolve any problem by refusing to address the real issue. But the hard, practical consequences of the West’s actions, not Russia’s, are always the last thing the West actually wants us to see.

Aid from the International Monetary Fund will enable Ukraine to pay billions in debt to Russia’s primary gas company and allow Ukraine to buy fuel through the winter. But the IMF deal entails major reforms to the country’s energy industry.
The details of those reforms were not disclosed in an article published in the Financial Times on Oct. 30. But it seems safe to assume they would involve regulations that are beneficial to Western financial interests.
The US mass media and the country’s political officials have shown a remarkable lack of interest in what the Pentagon acknowledged earlier this week was the unprecedented simultaneous firing of two senior commanders at two separate Air Force Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) bases and the administrative disciplining of a third.
Major news outlets, to the extent that they carried the story at all, relied solely on the item prepared by the Associated Press, and for the most part buried even that. The AP got the story by calling the Air Force public information office. No follow-up was done by the New York Times, the Washington Post or any other major newspaper or television network to probe the significance of these disciplinary actions in terms of the extreme state of crisis that has pervaded Washington’s nuclear strike force for well over a year.
Why the silence? By tacit agreement, clearly secrets are being kept about the real state of affairs within a military command whose nuclear war-fighting mission constitutes one of the single greatest threats to the survival of humanity.
The Pentagon has fired two commanders in its highly troubled nuclear missile force and taken administrative disciplinary measures against a third, the Associated Press confirmed on Tuesday.
The actions were taken against senior officers in both the 90th Missile Wing at F.E. Warren Air Force Base in Wyoming and the 91st Missile Wing at Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota.
Each of these commands is responsible for 150 Minuteman 3 Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs). These missiles carry payloads with 27 times the destructive power of the nuclear bomb dropped on Hiroshima in 1945. They are capable of striking targets some 8,000 miles away within half an hour of their launch and vaporizing everything within a 50-mile radius, killing millions of human beings.
Carrying out simultaneous disciplinary actions against senior officers at two of the Air Force’s three ICBM bases is unprecedented. An Air Force spokesman told the AP that it was merely a “coincidence.”

“Strange” events in Moldova
Today, Moldova is experiencing a number of strange (and obscure to some) political, economic and socio-cultural events that are directly linked to official statements by Romanian leadership (specifically the Prime Minister Victor Ponta) declaring that “in the near future Moldova will cease to exist as a sovereign state” and will be transformed into a “Romanian province”.
In other words, Romania – a NATO and EU member – is officially declaring its intention to annex the sovereign state of Moldova, a country that is a member of UN and many other international organizations. This is not the first attempt, Hitler and dictator Antonesku already tried to carry out an Anschluss of Moldova a while back.
Romanian Prime Minister has a lot of support from leaders and members of the pro-Romanian Liberal and Liberal-Democratic parties in Moldova who are openly advocating unification with Romania, while pushing for suspension of Moldova’s membership in CIS and other organizations tying the country to the East.
Oddly enough, the Information and Security Service of the Republic of Moldova, as well as the Attorney General’s Office have been silent on the issue despite the fact that the statements by Anna Gutsu, a member of the ruling parliamentary coalition, clearly call for a breach of territorial unity and constitutional order of Moldova. This can only be interpreted as their approval of such statements by representatives of Moldovan leadership.
It looks like the entire world is spitting out gold and silver as an investment or hedge, as the prices of both precious metals were tumbling in the past few weeks. Well, at least the demand for gold and silver ‘paper’ isn’t anymore what it used to be, but the demand for physical silver is really booming.
Reports have reached us from Germany that the demand for silver is really surging, and this is an interesting sentiment meter because Germany usually acts as one of the main distribution centers for the European Union. Several large bullion dealers have seen the demand for silver increase, and in just the next few days after last week’s crash, almost all dealers sold as many silver coins in just three days as they usually do in an entire month.
Now you can try to dismiss this easily by saying that the Germans and the rest of the European Union are simply preparing for an upcoming implosion of the Eurozone, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. The US Mint recently had to announce that there were no more silver Eagles in inventory, and that it would have to suspend deliveries for new orders. This announcement hasn’t been made public (why not, US Mint? Are you trying to keep the people dumb?) but was only sent to larger bullion dealers in the USA.
Under FOIA, there are three categories of requesters: media, which has the lowest level of fees; all others, which are assessed a moderate levels of fees for covering search and duplication costs; and commercial, which has high fees to cover legal review. A Coast Guard lawyer has ruled that, because MuckRock has readers, it’s commercial, not media.
This has come after months of appeals, phone calls, a brief in-person meeting, an open question-and-answer session with hundreds of FOIA officers – including individuals from Homeland Security – and a 2007 FOIA amendment that encourages federal agencies to broadly interpret new and alternative media:
Moreover, as methods of news delivery evolve (for example, the adoption of the electronic dissemination of newspapers through telecommunications services), such alternative media shall be considered to be news-media entities.
Contrast this with what Homeland Security provided as a final response to our request, emphasis mine:
Regarding the „commercial requester” classification, the Agency has also properly determined that the requested records would be used for commercial purposes. Although you assert that any responsive documents would be made available to the public for free on MuckRock’s website, the Agency must balance the commercial interest against the public interest. Making documents available on MuckRock’s website, even at no charge, drives traffic to the website and furthers its commercial purposes. Your request does not provide any information that would allow the Agency to determine that the public interest outweighs this commercial interest.
BENGHAZI, Libya: Libyan state security guards have started a protest at the 120,000 barrels a day Hariga oil port in the east, halting any oil exports, a Libyan oil official said on Saturday.
The port closure is the second blow to Libya’s oil industry within days after gunmen forced the closure of the southern Al-Sharara oilfield which used the pump at least 200,000 bpd.
A tanker had been waiting for three days to lift oil Hariga, located in Tobruk, but the guards did not allow it to, the official said, asking not to be named. The port was only open for fuel imports, he added.
The closure will lower Libya’s output to around 500,000 bpd, based on previous published figures. State firm National Oil Corp (NOC) has not given a production update for a month.
COTTBUS Germany (Reuters) – Sunday marks 25 years since the collapse of the regime that imprisoned and persecuted them, but many victims of former communist East Germany are still so traumatized that celebrating the unification of their country may forever be a challenge.
Thousands who were locked up for their political views, or had their children seized because the State did not consider them to be fit parents, are still deeply distressed – their condition aggravated by the fact that justice and recognition is yet to be granted, says a group lobbying for change.
„Of course anniversaries are a chance to examine the past and commemorate the change from dictatorship to democracy,” said Rainer Wagner, head of the UOKG Umbrella Group for the Victims of Communist Tyranny.
„But it is chilling to see all these speeches on the one hand, and on the other a state and society which is hesitant to pay compensation or bring former aggressors to justice.”
Some 250,000 people were held and interrogated on political grounds from 1945-1989, often simply for expressing the desire to leave. Millions fled before the border was sealed; thousands of those who could not were prevented from ever achieving their potential because of their backgrounds or political beliefs.
(Reuters) – When JPMorgan Chase & Co (JPM.N) agreed to lead a $700 million bond offering for Russian gas producer Gazprom OAO, (GAZP.MM) it was doing business that some U.S. banks are afraid to do, several lawyers and a banker said.
Gazprom faces U.S. sanctions after the U.S. government widened its restrictions against Russia in September. U.S. companies are prohibited from providing goods or technology to Gazprom and others, although they can provide financial services to the companies, meaning JPMorgan obeyed the law in underwriting bonds for the company. Gazprom announced pricing for the deal on Thursday.
Canada and China have signed a reciprocal currency deal that’s expected to dramatically boost exports.
The hub will foster far easier trade between the Canadian dollar and the Chinese yuan, also known as the renminbi. It makes Canada the first country in the Americas to have a deal to trade in the renminbi.
The signing of the deal was announced in Beijing today by Premier Li Keqiang and Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
„It’s a great boon for the Canadian business community, both importers and exporters, because they can now do business in China with the currency and not have to go through multiple financial exchange transactions,” Stewart Beck, president and CEO of the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada, told CBC News.
„So the pundits are saying it could double maybe even triple the level of Canadian trade between Canada and China,” he said.
CAMBRIDGE, England — Late last month, attorneys argued before the US Federal District Court in Manhattan that the United Nations is not immune from liability for the spread of cholera throughout Haiti. The medical science is clear on this point, and none but the UN itself disputes this conclusion.
Yet in denying its role in the Haitian cholera epidemic that has killed more than 8,500 and sickened hundreds of thousands more, the UN jeopardizes its own future.
This much is true: the UN introduced cholera into Haiti in 2010 when it sent peacekeepers from Nepal to the country without constructing adequate sanitation facilities. When they arrived in Haiti, these peacekeepers, assigned to the United Nations Stabilization Mission, were infected with cholera. Until then, Haiti had not experienced a cholera outbreak in more than 200 years.
Despite testifying that she wasn’t informed of the deadly ignition-switch problem until late December 2013, The Wall Street Journal reports that, according to emails it has obtained, GM ordered a half-million replacement ignition switches almost two months before it alerted federal safety regulators to any problems. Who was in charge of GM purchasing at this time? Mary Barra. As WSJ concludes, the switch order, nearly two months before GM told NHTSA of the need for recall in early February, suggests the company took initial concrete action to address the defect, but outside of scrutiny by regulators and vehicle owners.
As The Wall Street Journal reports,
General Motors Co. ordered a half-million replacement ignition switches to fix Chevrolet Cobalts and other small cars almost two months before it alerted federal safety regulators to the problem, according to emails viewed by The Wall Street Journal.
The emails indicate GM placed a Dec. 18 “urgent” order for 500,000 replacement switches one day after a meeting of senior executives. GM and an outside report it commissioned have said the executives discussed the Cobalt at the Dec. 17 meeting but didn’t decide on a recall.
Ms. Barra has said she wasn’t informed of the ignition-switch problem until late December. At the time she was head of global product development and purchasing and supply and had been picked to be the next CEO.

The referendum for the Swiss Gold Initiative is scheduled for November 30th and the propaganda war – between the Swiss National Bank (SNB) and the Swiss Parliament on one side and the Swiss People’s Party (SVP) on the other – has begun and we expect it to escalate as the day draws ever nearer. Having already questioned the ‘location, location, location’ of Switzerland’s current gold stash, and examined the initiative in great depth here, JPMorgan notes that not only might the forthcoming Swiss gold referendum stabilize gold prices at a time when Gold ETF demand continues to decline, but warns, it also appears that markets under-appreciate this event.
As JPMorgan explains,
Gold ETF flows continued to bleed losing $4bn or 6% of AUM cumulatively since the end of August.
U.S.D.A. Approves Modified Potato. Next Up: French Fry Fans
A potato genetically engineered to reduce the amounts of a potentially harmful ingredient in French fries and potato chips has been approved for commercial planting, the Department of Agriculture announced on Friday.
The potato’s DNA has been altered so that less of a chemical called acrylamide, which is suspected of causing cancer in people, is produced when the potato is fried.
The new potato also resists bruising, a characteristic long sought by potato growers and processors for financial reasons. Potatoes bruised during harvesting, shipping or storage can lose value or become unusable.
The biotech tubers were developed by the J. R. Simplot Company, a privately held company based in Boise, Idaho, which was the initial supplier of frozen French fries to McDonald’s in the 1960s and is still a major supplier. The company’s founder, Mr. Simplot, who died in 2008, became a billionaire.
The potato is one of a new wave of genetically modified crops that aim to provide benefits to consumers, not just to farmers as the widely grown biotech crops like herbicide-tolerant soybeans and corn do. The nonbruising aspect of the potato is similar to that of genetically engineered nonbrowning apples, developed by Okanagan Specialty Fruits, which are awaiting regulatory approval.
Western policies toward Russia championed by Washington have led to the current crisis, and if the confrontation continues, Europe will be weakened and become irrelevant, former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev warns.
Speaking to a forum in Berlin amid the celebration of the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, he called on western leaders to de-escalate tensions and meet Russia halfway to mend the current rift.
Is the Maoist Communist China becoming a partner of U.S. imperialism in Afghanistan? U.S. Is Again Interfering in Afghanistan’s Internal Affairs. Ashraf Ghani Was Not Elected by the Afghan Majority
The puppet Ashrarf Ghani was not elected by the Afghan majority, but “selected” by the U.S. government by Secretary John Kerry. Ghani has no legal authority to execute any bilateral security agreement on behalf of the Afghan people with any country . The majority of the Afghan people do not want any foreign military bases and foreign troops on their soil.
I strongly believe that the United States and China are going to cooperate in Afghanistan to achieve their main goal there of controlling and taking Afghanistan’s natural resources, its vast untapped deposits of Rare Earth Elements (REEs) like lithium, which is worth trillions and vital to technology and defense systems. The United States is indebted to China and needs money to mine and control the Afghan people’s resources. The U.S. is now in a financial mess because of the cost of its long war and occupation of Afghanistan. It needs China’s help. Whereas, the United States already occupies Afghanistan with its U.S. “selected” Afghan puppets governments in place and plans to keep its military bases and troops there and to stop the majority of the Afghan people from resisting foreign occupation and plundering their natural resources
A terrorist bombing targets Masjid al-Aqsa (like the 1980 Israeli government bomb plot that almost happened). Worldwide outrage, especially in Muslim countries, leads to retaliatory attacks on Israel and Israeli interests.
The Israelis insist ISIL was behind the al-Aqsa bombing. They say the bombing illustrates the dangers of “radical Islam.”
When rockets are fired against Israel from Syria and Lebanon, Israel bombs and invades those countries. But as in the 34-day war of 2006, Israeli troops suffer defeat on the ground, and Israeli cities take ever-bigger hits from Resistance rockets. While Israel calls on the West for help, Russia gives Israel 24 hours to cease all operations in Syria or face “extremely serious consequences” – a euphemism for possible Russian military action in defense of Syria.
Then, in a televised address that shocks the world, Netanyahu announces that in order to help eradicate the “Islamic menace,” Masjid al-Aqsa will not be rebuilt. In its place, he says, a new Zionist Temple will rise.
Radical Zionists – including the tens of millions of apocalypse-wishing Christian Zionists in the USA – celebrate wildly in the streets. Pakistan puts its nuclear missiles on high alert and targets Tel Aviv. India, Israel’s ally, raises the alert level on missiles targeting Pakistan. Israel, following its Samson Option doctrine, puts its missiles targeting the capitals of Europe, the Middle East, and North America on hair trigger alert.
The world stands on the brink.
Is this scenario plausible? Unfortunately, yes.
But would Israel really bomb Masjid al-Aqsa? And could they realistically try to blame ISIL?
A federal judge has ruled that the FBI’s futuristic facial-recognition database is deserving of scrutiny from open-government advocates because of the size and scope of the surveillance technology.
U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan said the bureau’s Next Generation Identification program represents a „significant public interest” due to concerns regarding its potential impact on privacy rights and should be subject to rigorous transparency oversight.
„There can be little dispute that the general public has a genuine, tangible interest in a system designed to store and manipulate significant quantities of its own biometric data, particularly given the great numbers of people from whom such data will be gathered,” Chutkan wrote in an opinion released late Wednesday.
Her ruling validated a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed by the Electronic Privacy Information Center that last year made a 2010 government report on the database public and awarded the group nearly $20,000 in attorneys’ fees. That government report revealed the FBI’s facial-recognition technology could fail up to 20 percent of the time. Privacy groups believe that failure rate may be even higher, as a search can be considered successful if the correct suspect is listed within the top 50 candidates.
„The opinion strongly supports the work of open-government organizations and validates their focus on trying to inform the public about government surveillance programs,” said Jeramie Scott, national security counsel with EPIC.

Remember when everyone decried wholesale Libor manipulation as a crazy conspiracy theory (Zero Hedge: January 2009: „This Makes No Sense: LIBOR By Bank”) because after all, it was impossible for so many people to keep their mouth shut or whatever the generic justification is for disproving such „conspiracy theories”? Why, none other than ICAP chief Michael Spencer says they all though Libor was „unmanipulable.” As it turns out, not only is Libor manipulable(sic), and a vast rate-rigging „conspiracy theory” is quite possible when everyone’s interests are aligned, but it also was massively profitable.
Then it was the turn of the even more massive, multi-trillion FX market, when first UBS squealed like a pig and soon ratted out every other bank in the criminal „Cartel” (or was it „Bandits”?) syndicate (see: „Meet The (First) Seven Banks Who Rigged The FX Market”). End result: banks such as JPM, Citi and BofA forced to review their criminal ways and adjusting their third quarter results a month into Q4. Many more legal fees, charges and settlement coming however for those who lost money on the other side of such long-running manipulation, please accept our condolences: you won’t see a penny.
And finally, there was the precious metals market: a market which all the Keynesian fanatic paper bugs said was immune from manipulation, be it of the central or commercial bank kind, even with every other market clearly exposed for perpetual rigging either by hedge funds, by prop desks, by HFTs, or central banks themselves.
Sadly this too conspiracy theory just was crushed into the reality of conspiracy fact, when moments ago the FT reported that alongside admissions of rigging every other market, UBS – always the proverbial first rat in the coalmine, to mix and match metaphors- is about to „settle” allegations of gold and silver rigging. In other words: it admits it had rigged the gold and silver markets, without of course „admitting or denying” it did so.
Imagine this scenario: You’re on an important trip miles from home and stopped in traffic, but before you can continue on your way, your car shuts down. You’ve got enough gas in the tank and no mechanical problems. But you’re stranded far from home because you’re a few days late on your car payment and the lender won’t let you drive until the debt is paid.
If this sounds like part of a dystopian future in which repo men are now cyborgs, it’s not. It’s happening today and becoming a big part of the new automotive landscape. Car dealers and automotive lenders are targeting those with poor credit by installing GPS-based kill switches, or starter-interrupt devices, on the cars that they sell.
The New York Times recently reported that about 2 million cars are now outfitted with such kill switches in the U.S., which is about one-quarter of subprime car loans, and creditors are not shy when it comes to remotely disabling cars whose owners are behind on their payments:
„Some borrowers say their cars were disabled when they were only a few days behind on their payments, leaving them stranded in dangerous neighborhoods. Others said their cars were shut down while idling at stoplights. Some described how they could not take their children to school or to doctor’s appointments. One woman in Nevada said her car was shut down while she was driving on the freeway.
„Beyond the ability to disable a vehicle, the devices have tracking capabilities that allow lenders and others to know the movements of borrowers, a major concern for privacy advocates. And the warnings the devices emit — beeps that become more persistent as the due date for the loan payment approaches — are seen by some borrowers as more degrading than helpful.”
Luxembourg Takes the Heat, but the World’s Worst Tax Haven – the City of London – Remains Unscathed
There are a lot of tax havens in Europe. But they pale against the power of the City of London.
By Don Quijones, freelance writer, translator in Barcelona, Spain. Editor at WOLF STREET. Mexico is his country-in-law. Raging Bull-Shit is his modest attempt to scrub away the lathers of soft soap peddled by political and business leaders and their loyal mainstream media. This article is a Wolf Street exclusive.
For a tiny country of just 500,000 inhabitants, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is getting a heck of a lot of international attention these days. And certainly not of the welcome kind. At the beginning of this week, the Washington-based International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) published tens of thousands of documents that finally shed light on one of the world’s most important and most secretive tax havens – at least until now.
The picture that emerges is one of endemic tax avoidance and evasion that has helped transform Luxembourg into the world’s richest country on a per capita basis. The country also boasts the world’s highest ratio of bankers to inhabitants – a staggering 1:21.
Thanks to the revelations, we have learned that:
Hundreds of European and global transnationals, including Accenture (the former auditing arm of Arthur Andersen), IKEA, Burberry, FedEx, Blackstone, Deutsche Bank, H.J. Heinz, JP Morgan Chase, Procter & Gamble and HSBC, have signed sweetheart deals (endearingly titled comfort letters) with Luxembourg’s tax authorities that effectively allow them to avoid taxes in the countries where they rack up their profits. In some cases they have paid tax on profits of just 1%.
The “Big Four” accountancy firms – PwC, Ernst & Young, Deloitte and KPMG – served as the frontline architects of Luxembourg’s tax avoidance system. According to PwC, which is alleged to have helped corporations like Pepsi and IKEA reduce their tax bills by billions of euros, ICIJ’s reporting is based on “outdated” and “stolen” information, “the theft of which is in the hands of the relevant authorities.” It said its tax advice and assistance are “given in accordance with applicable local, European and international tax laws and agreements and is guided by a PwC Global Tax Code of Conduct.”
U.S. and U.K. companies appeared more frequently in the leaked files than companies from any other country, followed by firms from Germany, Netherlands and Switzerland. The companies implicated used Luxembourg in combination with other tax havens such as Gibraltar, and Ireland.
A “Magical Fairyland” – How Global Multi-National Corporations Avoid Taxes in Luxembourg
Screen Shot 2014-11-08 at 11.10.20 AM“A Luxembourg structure is a way of stripping income from whatever country it comes from,’’ said Stephen E. Shay, a professor of international taxation at Harvard Law School and a former tax official in the U.S. Treasury Department. The Grand Duchy, he said, “combines enormous flexibility to set up tax reduction schemes, along with binding tax rulings that are unique. It’s like a magical fairyland.”
The deals can be so complex that PwC accountants frequently include “before” and “after” diagrams to illustrate how money flows from subsidiary to subsidiary and across different countries and tax havens. The leaked records show that Luxembourg’s 2009 tax deal for Illinois-based Abbott Laboratories – which makes arthritis drugs and Ensure meal replacement shakes –features 79 steps including companies in Cyprus and Gibraltar. Abbott projected it would invest as much as $50 billion via Luxembourg.
More than 170 of the Fortune 500 companies have a Luxembourg branch, according to Citizens for Tax Justice, a nonprofit research and advocacy group. A total of $95 billion in profits from American corporations’ overseas operations flowed through Luxembourg in 2012, the most current statistics from the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis show. On those profits, corporations paid $1.04 billion in taxes to Luxembourg – just 1.1 percent.
Having promised that he would not run again if unemployment rates remain high, French President Francois Hollande faces not just record low approval ratings but feces-flinging-farmers. In a show of protest against expressing their anger at collapsing prices (due in part to sanctions against Russia), increased environmental regulations, cheap imports, and high costs, thousands took to the streets, dumping pumpkins, potatoes, and carrots, burning cars, flinging apples, and spraying shit all over a government building in Toulouse. The French are not amused…

Pentagon names military bases as Ebola troop quarantine sites
WASHINGTON — The Pentagon said Friday it has designated five military bases inside the U.S. and two in Europe as quarantine areas for troops returning from the Ebola-response mission in West Africa.
Servicemembers will be isolated for 21 days at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington; Fort Bragg, North Carolina; Fort Hood and Fort Bliss, Texas; and Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Virginia to check for symptoms of the deadly virus, Pentagon press secretary Rear Adm. John Kirby said. Army garrisons in Baumholder, Germany, and Vicenza, Italy, will also be quarantine sites.
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel ordered the three-week quarantines late last month for troops who spend time on the ground as part of the military’s Operation United Assistance, which is supporting U.S. humanitarian aid efforts in hard-hit East Africa countries where nearly 5,000 have died.
Globalist Gorbachev Defends Putin; USSR Role in EU Revisited
Buried deep within an article by Agence France-Presse about former Soviet dictator Mikhail Gorbachev standing up for Russian strongman Vladimir Putin is an absolutely astounding admission: Former top diplomats for the Soviet Union told the French news agency that “the reunification of Germany was allowed on the condition that the USSR would participate in the new European order.”
The revelation is especially explosive considering Gorbachev’s past celebrations of what he publicly called the “new European soviet” — also known as the European Union — as well as the fact that the EU’s leadership isliterally packed with “former” communists, many of them from the former Soviet Union. In light of the predictions and arguments made by Soviet defectors and more recent developments surrounding Russia and Europe, the claims make perfect sense, too.
If There Aren’t Any Ebola Cases in the US, Why is the CDC Doing THIS?
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) made an interesting announcement today via a press release:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has ordered $2.7 million in personal protective equipment (PPE) to increase Strategic National Stockpile (SNS) supplies to assist U.S. hospitals caring for Ebola patients. Products are being configured into 50 kits that can be rapidly delivered to hospitals. Each kit can provide the PPE needed by clinical teams to manage the care of one Ebola patient for up to five days.
The number of kits is limited, but the CDC said they will “help address short-term PPE needs.” They will be “rapidly delivered” from the SNS as requested to hospitals that have suspected or confirmed Ebola cases.
Items included in the kits are impermeable gowns, coveralls, and aprons; boot covers; gloves; face shields and hoods; N95 respirators; powered-air purifying respirator systems and ancillaries; and disinfecting wipes.
Following the announcement of the new Star Wars Episode VII title (The Force Awakens), Infowars.com reporter Rob Dew examines the fact that even though the prequels left a lot to be desired in style, acting and character, they did expose a common tactic used by governments through history – the false flag attack.
They say a picture is worth one thousand words. And so here’s a twelve thousand word equivalent essay that quite clearly depicts how the policies of the new millennium are shaping the new world order. The powers that be have looked at these same charts, understand their implications and yet continue on the current path. The objective then is clear. The death of the working class.
With almost 100% of ‘savings’ having been forced into the stock market we are getting ever closer to what will be described as an epic collapse of wealth. However, the more fitting description will be an epic and final transfer of wealth from the working class to the burgeoning aristocracy as assets are picked up for pennies on the dollar. Pay particular attention to data from the end of the 1990′s through the new millennium.
DARPA biotech division seeks ideas to solve Ebola crisis, prepare for ‘next thing’
Pentagon’s main innovation unit is looking for promising ideas that would help thwart infectious disease outbreaks, including Ebola epidemic that already claimed almost 5,000 lives out of 13,241 officially confirmed cases worldwide.
Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), Pentagon’s research organization tasked with developing advanced military technology has announced a tender for innovative research proposals of interest to the Biological Technologies Office (BTO).
“BTO is interested in a range of emerging technical areas, including but not limited to human-machine interfaces, human performance, infectious disease, and synthetic biology. The overarching goal is to develop, demonstrate, and transition biologically-based technologies as part of the national security toolkit,” the solicitation reads.
The Pentagon’s technology arm is prepared to invest up to $700,000 in a promising idea that shows potential in “revolutionary advances in science, technologies, or systems.” It calls on scientists to“radically change established practice.”
“DARPA’s Biological Technologies Office, which launched earlier this year, looks at biology as a technology, with a focus on harnessing living systems or integrating those systems with nonliving systems,”said Alicia Jackson, deputy director of DARPA’s biological technologies office.
Beijing $40 billion offer to revive the historic Silk Road, starts Central-Asia geostrategic competition
Beijing says it will spend $40 billion to revive the historic Silk Road and connect China with Central Asia, the Middle East and Europe. Chinese President Xi Jinping said the ambitious project is designed to „break the connectivity bottleneck” in Asia.
The „Silk Road Economic Belt” initiative, announced by Xi Jinping in 2013, is designed to allow capabilities of Chinese state-controlled construction companies to further expand its already booming trade with central Asia and Europe by diversification of Chinese trade routes, lowering transportation costs, opening up new markets, and an expansion of the Chinese sphere of influence beyond Asia. It will also secure the supply of Uranium and rare metals from Central Asia.
Les Suisses se prononceront le 30 novembre sur l’initiative de l’UDC «Sauvez l’or de la Suisse». Le texte demande d’augmenter massivement la part de métal jaune dans les coffres de la BNS.
the Swiss gold referendum is simply whether the Swiss people want to repatriate their gold that is stocked in other countries, namely in the Bank of England (20% of the Swiss gold) and in the Bank of Canada (10% of the Swiss gold). The rest of the Swiss gold (70%) is stocked in Switzerland. If you understand French, you can read about this initiative here. If it is accepted by the Swiss people, it won’t strike a blow at the USD/Euro/Yen Fiat Money.
Yes – that is part of it – the other part is that the SNB must hold at least 20% of its assets in Switzerland. Currently this figure is around 8% I believe.
i) keeping the Swiss gold physically in Switzerland; ii) forbidding the SNB from selling any more of its gold reserves, and iii) the SNB has to hold at least 20% of its assets in gold.

Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has signed amendments to Ukraine’s state budget for 2014, which allows financing the purchase of prostheses for participants in the anti-terrorist operation (ATO) who sustained severe injuries, the presidential press service has reported.
In particular, law No. 1705-VII on the introduction of amendments to Annex No. 3 of the law on Ukraine’s state budget for 2014 introduces a new budget program worth UAH 7 million on the provision of certain categories of citizens who were involved in the anti-terrorist operation and/or ensured its organization and sustained limb injuries with prosthetics and prosthetic products of the higher functionality that are absent in Ukraine. In addition, under the law, spending on financing in 2014 the newly created State Service for War Veterans and members Participants in the Anti-Terrorist Operation was increased by UAH 2.2 million.
On the Novorussian side the recent elections did not solve the constant infighting between the various commanders. To my great regret, this nonsense is still going on.
…
There have been numerous concerns raised by various analysts about the ‘divisions’ in the Novorossiyan leadership. The chatter from the Novorossiya side seems to indicate that there exists a serious problem in this. Because these involve people under strenuous conditions, and ambitions and ideologies, as well as trust issues, lead to clashes of sorts, we are confronted with another factor.
Because much of the Novorossiyan reporting on these conflicts is promulgated in official or quasi-official sources; then consider what that means. Novorossiyan leadership’s job is to dissemble the reality of a highly organized hierarchy with clearly defined short, middle, and long terms goals, along with the strategies needed to get them, and the various tactics that will be used along the way. In our past work, we already described the numerous times that the various Novorossiyan militias were able to conceal their strength and compel the enemy to attack prematurely, haphazardly, and in manner leaving their supply lines and rearguards over-stretched. This resulted in the now infamous cauldrons.
Still, further clarity on the subject is needed. What is distorted, using new media in the information war, on the receiving end for the media consumer, is not the same as what is understood within the leadership itself. They are acting out their ‘confusion’ script. It cannot be forgotten that nearly every person on both the political and military side was placed there by the Russians. There is only one chain of command and there is only one grand strategy. It follows from this, that with a high degree of certitude we can say: they are on the same page. Each major event of real significance confirms this thesis. Our work has centered around this thesis and has allowed us to explain and forecast the events with a considerable degree of accuracy, since January.
Calls to better centralize the command are very important to make, because they create the impression of a decentralized command. But the new methods of centralization, and this is critical, in 4GW which mirrors the technology used, allows for a greater degree of autonomy and decision making at the ground level. Communication technologies and the dissemination of broader ranges of knowledge, an increase in generalists with specializations, as opposed to the older model which saw a clear separation of these two, are features of modern organization in all spheres of life including war. In many ways, the new ‘centralization’ has many similar features with what would be called ‘chaos’ or disorganization in 2GW models.
So while it is true that there is significant decentralization among the NM fighters when compared to the Russian Army, it is actually the NM that is creating a new model for the Russian Army and not the Russian Army that is setting a standard for the NM that it cannot yet achieve. Talk to the contrary serves a propaganda purpose, and not much else.

Scientists discover gene that predisposes Ashkenazi Jews to schizophrenia Variations of the DNST3 gene make Ashkenazi Jews 40 percent more likely to develop schizophrenia and similar diseases.
Israeli and American scientists have discovered a gene among Ashkenazi Jews that increases their chances of developing the mental disorder schizophrenia, as well schizoaffective disorder and manic depression. According to a study recently published in Nature Communications, the gene in question raises…
A study published in New Communications has found the gene that predisposes Ashkenazi Jews to various mental illnesses, including schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, and bipolar disorder, according to an article in Haaretz.
The study, which saw over 25 000 Ashkenazi Jews submit DNA samples for testing, has located a variation on the DNST3 gene that raises the likelihood of suffering from these illnesses to 40%, compared to the general average of 15%.
The study was conducted as a joint effort between the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and Dr. Todd Lencz from The Feinstein Institute for Medical Research in New York, reports the Algemeiner.
Dr. Todd Lencz from the Feinstein Institute and the associate dean of Life Sciences at Hebrew University, Ariel Darvasi, performed the experiment and wrote the paper together.
Schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, and bipolar disorder are all debilitating illnesses that can result in severe symptoms for those suffering, including paranoia, uncontrolled mood changes, and even hallucinations. While each has a pharmaceutical regime that can help alleviate symptoms, patients also benefit from long-term psychological support and community support programs.
Hopefully research like this can help locate and discover new ways to help those suffering from these mental illnesses.
One of the most important questions facing anyone who studies the psychology behind Jewish Supremacism is “why” – why do Jewish Supremacists behave the way they do?
What motivates such a cohesive, strongly-motivated, genetically-isolated, supremacist group of people, who actually appear to believe that they have been appointed by God to rule over all other people on earth?
Part of the answer, at least, may have been provided by a new study conducted by geneticists at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. This ground-breaking study has shown that variations of the DNST3 gene make Ashkenazi Jews 40 percent more likely to develop schizophrenia and similar diseases than non-Jews.
According to the Concise Medical Dictionary issued by the Oxford University Press, 2010, schizophrenia is officially defined as a “mental disorder characterized by a breakdown of thought processes and by impaired emotional responses. Common symptoms include delusions, such as paranoid beliefs and hallucinations.”
If ever there was a “delusion”, “paranoid belief” and a “hallucination” on a massive scale, then it has to be the Jewish Supremacist belief that they have been appointed by God to bring “Tikkun olam” (a Hebrew phrase that means “repairing the world”, commonly used by Jewish extremists in explain their mission to earth) to rule over all other people.
According to an article in the Israeli newspaper Haaretz titled “Scientists Discover Gene that Predisposes Ashkenazi Jews to Schizophrenia” the story found that “Variations of the DNST3 gene make Ashkenazi Jews 40 percent more likely to develop schizophrenia and similar diseases.”

aniush,
nici o tehnologie nu e buna! „în sudoarea feţei tale îţi vei căştiga pâinea”, prin munca pământului, iar pamantul va da de-acum palamida. Atunci cand lucrezi fara masinarie e mult mai greu, pentru ca Dumnezeu asta vrea sa te trudesti tu si sa te rogi, stii de pilda de ce pe vremea lui Avraam nu erau asa multe materiale sau bogatii ca acum sau lux? Pentru ca pentru Avraam nimic nu contat si pentru el nu era vrednic nimic de pe pamant, el insusi era VREDNIC DE IMPARATIA LUI DUMNEZEU pentru ca era drept inaintea lui Dumnezeu, dar astazi de aceea sunt atatea luxuri si materiale si bogatii, pentru ca omul nu mai e vrednic de Dumnezeu, pentru ca el deja isi cauta alinare in materie si nu isi mai pune nadejdea in Dumnezeu! Cu cat iti ‘usurezi’ munca prin materie (masinarii) si nu prin rugaciune (muncind pamantul „pana te vei intoarce in pamantul de unde ai fost luat”) cu atat te departezi de Dumnezeu, zici: „ce-mi mai trebuie Dumnezeu, am tehnologie, mi-e usor acum sa fac orice!” ba unii vor sa ajunga dumnezei prin tehnologie, clonând! Vai ce ticalosie, am intrecut orice limita. Oare daca aveau nevoie de ‘usurarea muncii’ Dumnezeu nu le-ar fi dat si lui Adam si Evei masinarii? Doar erau cei mai luminati oameni si Adam stim ca a fost cel care a dat nume tuturor animalelor etc.etc.! Dar nu s-ar mai fi pocait daca aveau lux! Si nici nu si-ar mai fi pus nadejdea in Dumnezeu, de aceea nu aveau nimic din ce avem noi decat LACRIMI DE POCAINTA! De atat ai nevoie. Avraam nu ere vrednic de nimic de pe pamant, insa noi suntem total opusi lui, de aceea vremurile astea!

Help defend Ukraine? Nein, Danke, say East Germans
Germans who were repressed when they lived under communist rule in East Germany are wary of Germany providing cash or weapons to help Ukraine in its effort to turn to the West.

Analyst of the Peoples’ Militia Prokhorov informed about the possible offensive of Ukrainian troops, the counteroffensive of the Army of Novorossiya and expected liberation of Avdeyevka from Ukrainian occupational troops.
As far as the liberation of Avdeyevka is concerned:
“People’s Militia does not have enough forces to storm Avdeyevka, but it can squeeze the Ukies out of the town.
The Ukies are being beaten near Avdeyevka, in the area of Peski and Krasnogorovka.
Right now the Ukies are withdrawing their battered units from the. However, it looks like the reinforcements are arriving there as well. We will learn more in the morning”.
Concerning the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the counteroffensive of the Army of Novorossiya:
“We should not fear today’s fighting: the Ukies are getting ready for an offensive in the nearest future and today’s fighting will annihilate (or weaken) their offensive potential.
http://novorossia.today/novorossia-news/summary-the-junta-is-getting-ready-for-t.html
I recently spoke with Russian blogger Rozhin Boris, otherwise known as Colonel Cassad, whose indepth reports from the front lines of Novorossia shed a lot of light on military/political developments in this war torn region.
The United Nations has recently estimated that over 3,660 people have been killed in the fighting in Eastern Ukraine. Could you describe the extent of the humanitarian crisis facing ordinary people in Novorossia?
This assessment is very far from the reality. The armed forces of the Kiev junta have lost 12 to 18 thousand dead. They are responsible for the deaths of thousands of civilians. The militias of Novorossia have lost 5-6,000 dead. The total number of deaths is approximately 25-30 thousand with of tens of thousands of wounded militia members, civilians and junta soldiers. Officially more than 250,000 civilians have fled the Donbass, unofficially its over a million. The Donbass is facing a humanitarian catastrophe.
Should the people of Donetsk and Lugansk regions be allowed to decide their own fate? The right of nations to self-determination has a long history in the region. When the Bolsheviks came to power in 1917 Lenin proclaimed this right for national groups living within the Russian Empire, and Finland gained its independence. Why do you think the US and it’s European allies steadfastly refuse to recognise the national aspirations of the people of Lugansk and Donetsk?

drop in the prices of oil [..] is very pricey, especially for the US shale gas industry.
A low oil price certainly is bad for all oil exporting countries.
When it comes to US shale, however, the industry has never been profitable, and is probably best described as a bubble or ponzi scheme.
In other words, popping the shale bubble this way might actually prove beneficial for the US economically, as an earlier pop means popping a smaller (debt) balloon. It might even be convenient for some of those early shale evangelists, who can now declare the looming shale failure in North America collateral damage of the energy war against Russia and Iran (if that is what’s going on).

About that Shale Oil ‘Miracle’…Unpacking the propaganda
http://www.peakprosperity.com/blog/88437/about-shale-oil-miracle%E2%80%A6
The collapse in US oil prices since September may very soon collapse the US shale oil bubble and tear away the illusion that the United States will surpass Saudi Arabia and Russia as the world’s largest oil producer. That illusion, fostered by faked resource estimates issued by the US Department of Energy, has been a lynchpin of Obama geopolitical strategy.
Now the financial Ponzi scheme behind the increase of US domestic oil output the past several years is about to evaporate in a cloud of fictitious smoke. The basic economics of shale oil production are being ravaged by the 23% oil price drop since John Kerry and Saudi King Abdullah had their secret meeting near the Red Sea in early September to agree on the Saudi oil price war against Russia.
http://www.globalresearch.ca/the-collapse-of-oil-prices-has-washington-just-shot-itself-in-the-oily-foot/5412265
The world is in a dangerous place now. A large share of oil sellers need the revenue from oil sales. They have to continue producing, regardless of how low oil prices go unless they are stopped by bankruptcy, revolution, or something else that gives them a very clear signal to stop. Producers of oil from US shale are in this category, as are most oil exporters, including many of the OPEC countries and Russia.
Some large oil companies, such as Shell and ExxonMobil, decided even before the recent drop in prices that they couldn’t make money by developing available producible resources at then-available prices, likely around $100 barrel. See my post, Beginning of the End? Oil Companies Cut Back on Spending. These large companies are in the process of trying to sell off acreage, if they can find someone to buy it. Their actions will eventually lead to a drop in oil production, but not very quickly–maybe in a couple of years.
So there is a definite time lag in slowing production–even with very low prices. In fact, if US shale production keeps rising, and Libya and Iraq keep work at getting oil production on line, we may even see an increase in world oil production, at a time when world oil production needs to decline.
A Decrease in Oil Prices May Not Fix Oil Demand
At the same time, demand doesn’t pick up quickly as prices drop. We are dealing with a world that has a huge amount of debt. China in particular has been on a debt binge that cannot continue at the same pace. A reduction in China’s debt, or even slower growth in its debt, reduces growth in the demand for oil, and thus its price. The same situation holds for other countries that are now saturated with debt, and trying to come closer to balancing their budgets.

Hmmm…
Russia, too, is constrained by interdependence, although less so than China given its energy-concentrated economy and more modest levels of external trade and investment. That means sanctions have a chance of influencing its behavior over time. Putin’s foreign policy may be revanchist, but Russia’s hard- and soft-power resources are both limited. Russia no longer represents anything that appeals to anyone other than ethnic Russians, and as a result, the geopolitical troubles it can cause will remain on Europe’s periphery, without touching the continent’s core. Indeed, the critical elements of Europe’s transformation over the past 70 years – the democratization of Germany, Franco-German reconciliation, economic integration – are so robust that they can reasonably be taken for granted. Europe’s parochialism and military weakness may make the region a poor partner for the United States in global affairs, but the continent itself is no longer a security problem, which is a huge advance on the past.
…
North America could once again become the world’s economic engine, given its stable, prosperous, and open economy; its 470 million people; and its emerging energy self-sufficiency. Latin America is, for the most part, at peace. Mexico is a far more stable and successful country than it was a decade ago, as is Colombia. Questions hovering over the futures of such countries as Brazil, Chile, Cuba, and Venezuela do not alter the fundamental narrative of a region heading in the right direction. And Africa, too, has a growing number of countries in which better governance and economic performance are becoming the norm rather than the exception.

They call it the Ulfkotte-effect. And it’s beginning to resemble an avalanche.
Since the publication of Udo Ulfkotte’s “Gekaufte Journalisten“ in September – now a #1 Amazon bestseller, in which he charges that the CIA regularly bribes top German journalists, himself included, – German readers’ disaffection towards their mainstream media appears to have crossed a point of no return.
Granted, sales of newspapers and magazines have fallen everywhere, not just in Germany. But this is different. This is a boycott that is affecting web traffic. Germans are steering clear of mainstream media websites.
Many Germans have not been too shy to announce their intention on social networks. Some have uploaded videos calling for a boycott on YouTube. Others have created groups calling for the same on Facebook.
The other visible result of reader disaffection has been that throughout September the number of unique visitors to six major German newspapers and magazines was falling steadily.

Ed Snowden’s latest leaked documents open the lid on what is perhaps the most vindictive and disgusting aspect of the government-corporate joint surveillance state seen yet…
This is Britain’s GCHQ how-to guide for Online Covert Action which, according to Glenn Greenwald (see links below) has been shared with US agencies like the NSA. Upon review, it can only be described as government-sponsored subterfuge of domestic society.
According to these latest documents, there are paid government agent/contractor persons on social media posing as someone they are not, whilst on the payroll of the government. Their job is to befriend members of the alternative media, embed themselves in the ebb and flow of day-to-day communications, and then to engage in elaborate subterfuge – by any means necessary. The training exercise below uses terms like “befriend”, “infiltrate”, “mask/mimic”, “ruse”, “set-up”, “disrupt”, “create cognitive stress”, “use deception”, “ruin business relationships”, and “post negative information on appropriate forums” – all of which is not only illegal and morally bankrupt, but also runs completely contrary to the very fundamental ‘values’ and indeed founding principles, of a modern free democratic society or constitutional republic.

On Friday, the Ukrainian military’s PR machine spun-up its latest episode of the illusive “Russian Invasion”, this time accusing Moscow of dispatching a column of 32 tanks and “truckloads of Russian troops” into the country’s eastern region.
The West are being very choosy with their language – in case they have to deny they ever said it later. Presently, the West and Kiev are stopping short of labeling the non-event as an invasion, instead calling it “Russian aggression”, and a “cross-border incursion” to aid separatists, with the all-important caveat of “unconfirmed report”, a PR system standardized by CIA media handlers currently in residence inside the US-backed Kiev regime.

Snowpiercer stands out as a recent example of a trend fans of film are witnessing more of: philosophically-focused science fiction and fantasy.
While it could be argued that many science fiction classics deal with some philosophical themes, the trend has become far more common than in previous decades. In the last several years, films such as, After the Dark, The Double, Enemy, Another Earth, as well as many others, ask audiences to grapple with complex conundrums such as globalism, meaning and the self, morality and death, and even deeper esoteric questions, like alternate worlds and mystical symbology.
While Hollywood is busy with found-footage horror, cynical raunchy comedies and comic book blockbusters (the latter of which do incorporate conspiriana), lesser-known independent films are touching on far more abtruse matters that extend beyond the realm of the political. Seeing new films clearly influenced by Terry Gilliam, for example, is a welcomed beacon of hope. A rebellion in the arts – towards asking meaningful questions that challenge social engineering and prepackaged think-tank paradigms is precisely what is needed, and that is partly my intention with my work at Jay’s Analysis.

“The world is on the brink of a new Cold War. Some say it has already begun, “ said the 83-year-old former Kremlin chief in a sombre speech delivered in Berlin at an event to mark the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall this weekend.
He was speaking as reports from eastern Ukraine suggested that Kiev’s troops and the Russia-backed rebels may be preparing for renewed fighting. Agency reporters in eastern Ukraine said they saw more than 80 unmarked military vehicles on the move on Saturday in rebel-controlled areas of eastern Ukraine.
The apparent escalation threatens the fragile ceasefire agreed in Minsk in early September and increases the danger of further pressure on east-west relations.

East Europeans Don’t Want a Cold War and Washington Should Respect That
Neocon claims of East European „betrayal” miss the point: East European states are sovereign nations and have the right to pursue good relations with Russia
Both Brussels and Washington should learn to respect the diversity of East-Central Europe and stop trying to force the former Warsaw Pact countries to toe the line when it comes to Russia This article provides an excellent description of Russia’s relations with Eastern Europe. Forget the scare stories of the Neocons. Russia is not about to attack or conquer Eastern Europe and East Europeans are not surrendering to Moscow. Russians and East Europeans want good relations with each other. This article was originally published by Foreign Policy In Focus

The Russian Air Force Khibiny is an advanced aircraft-mounted electronic warfare (EW) system capable of jamming state-of-the-art air defense radar systems. The Khibiny jamming was tested successfully for some time on the ground in Buryatia, Russian Federation. On April 17, 2014, two Russian Air Force Su-24 bombers with no weapons loaded were sent to intercept the US Navy’s AEGIS-equipped destroyer USS Donald Cook in the Black Sea. One of them flied around the destroyer up to 12 times while the other one remained away as done usually by both sides during the Cold War period. Unconfirmed reports suggest that the Su-24s were equipped with the Khibiny EW system and were able to neutralize the AEGIS phased array radar target tracking capabilities while the ship’s crew was unable to re-boot the system. It is not clear whether the jammer affected the radar system itself or only the computer-based component or either both at the same time. The Russian Air Force plans call for the installation of the Khibiny jammer on all its advanced jets.

What frightened the USS Donald Cook so much in the Black Sea?
On 10 April 2014, the USS Donald Cook entered the waters of the Black Sea and on 12 April a Russian Su-24 tactical bomber flew over the vessel triggering an incident that, according to several media reports, completely demoralized its crew, so much so that the Pentagon issued a protest [1].
The USS Donald Cook (DDG-75) is a 4th generation guided missile destroyer whose key weapons are Tomahawk cruise missiles with a range of up to 2,500 kilometers, and capable of carrying nuclear explosives. This ship carries 56 Tomahawk missiles in standard mode, and 96 missiles in attack mode.
The US destroyer is equipped with the most recent Aegis Combat System. It is an integrated naval weapons systems which can link together the missile defense systems of all vessels embedded within the same network, so as to ensure the detection, tracking and destruction of hundreds of targets at the same time. In addition, the USS Donald Cook is equipped with 4 large radars, whose power is comparable to that of several stations. For protection, it carries more than fifty anti-aircraft missiles of various types.
Meanwhile, the Russian Su-24 that buzzed the USS Donald Cook carried neither bombs nor missiles but only a basket mounted under the fuselage, which, according to the Russian newspaper Rossiyskaya Gazeta [2], contained a Russian electronic warfare device called Khibiny.
…
The Russian Su-24 then simulated a missile attack against the USS Donald Cook, which was left literally deaf and blind. As if carrying out a training exercise, the Russian aircraft – unarmed – repeated the same maneuver 12 times before flying away.
…
According to some specialized media, 27 sailors from the USS Donald Cook requested to be relieved from active service.

Russian Vulnerabilities: The Limits of Putin’s Restoration of Russian Sovereignty
In the aftermath of the Western and Russian oligarch’s pillage of the Russian economy and the savage degradation of Russian society, President Putin pursued a complex strategy.
First, he sought to differentiate between ‘political’ and ‘economic’ oligarchs: the latter included oligarchs willing to co-operate with the government in rebuilding the economy and willing to confine their activity to the generous guidelines set forth by President Putin. They retained enormous economic power and profits, but not political power. In exchange, Putin allowed the ‘economic’ oligarchs to maintain their dubiously-acquired business empires. In contrast, those oligarchs who sought political power and financed Yeltsin-era politicians were targeted – some were stripped of their fortunes and others were prosecuted for crimes, ranging from money laundering, tax evasion, swindles and illegal transfer of funds overseas up to financing the murder of their rivals.
The second focus of President Putin’s early political strategy was to deepen Russian cooperation with Western states and economies but on the basis of reciprocal market exchanges rather than one-sided, Western appropriation of Russian resources prevalent under Yeltsin. Putin sought to secure greater political-military integration with the US and EU to ensure Russian borders and spheres of influence. To that end, President Putin opened Russian military bases and supply lines for the US-EU military forces engaged in the invasion and occupation of Afghanistan and he did not oppose the EU-US sanctions against Iran. Putin acquiesced to the US invasion and occupation of Iraq, despite Russia’s long standing economic ties with Baghdad. He joined the five powers ‘overseeing” the Palestine – Israeli ‘peace’ talks and went along with Washington’s one-sided support of Israel. He even gave the ‘green light’ to the NATO bombing of Libya, naively assuming it would be a limited affair – a ‘humanitarian’ intervention.
As a result of Putin’s political and diplomatic collusion with the Washington-NATO military expansion, Russian trade, investment and finance with the West prospered. Russian firms raised loans in Western capital markets; foreign investors flocked to the Russian stock market and multi-nationals formed joint ventures. Major oil and gas ventures flourished. The Russian economy recovered the living standards of the Soviet era; consumer spending boomed; unemployment fell from double to single digit; salaries and back wages were paid and research centers, universities, schools and cultural institutions began to recover.
The third component of Putin’s strategy was the state recovery (re-nationalization) of the strategic oil and gas sector. By outright purchase and buy-outs, through financial audits and the confiscation of the assets of gangster oligarchs, the Russian state takeover of oil and gas was successful. These re-nationalized sectors formed joint ventures with Western oil giants and led Russian exports during a period of peak energy demand. With the rise in oil prices over the Putin decade, Russia experienced a consumer-driven import boom – from agricultural commodities to luxury jewelry and autos… Putin consolidated his electoral support and deepened Russia’s ‘integration’ in Western markets.
Putin’s expansion and growth strategy looked exclusively westward to the EU and US, and not east to Asia/China or south to Latin America.
With this focus on the West, Putin’s initial tactical success began to expose Russia’s strategic vulnerabilities. The first signs were evident in the Western support for the corrupt oligarchs’ anti-Putin campaign and the media’s demonization of the Russian judicial system which prosecuted and convicted gangster oligarchs, like Mikhail Khodorkovsky . The second sign was the West’s financial and political support of the Yeltsin-era neo-liberals competing against Putin’s United Russia Party and candidates…It became clear that Putin’s effort to restore Russian sovereignty conflicted with the West’s plans to maintain Russia as a vassal state. The West favorably counterpoised the Golden Years of unrestrained pillage and domination of the Yeltsin period to the Putin era of an independent and dynamic Russia – by constantly tying the Russian president to the defunct Soviet Union and the KGB.
In 2010, the US encouraged its client, President Saakashvili of Georgia to invade Russia’s protectorate in South Ossetia. This was the first major indication that Putin’s accommodation with the West was counter-productive. Russian territorial borders, its allies and spheres of influence became Western targets. The US and EU condemned Russia’s defensive response even as Moscow withdrew its troops from Georgia after applying a sound beating.
Georgia was a militarist dress rehearsal; one of several western planned and financed coups – some dubbed ‘color revolutions’ other’s NATO ‘humanitarian interventions’. Yugoslavia in the Balkans was fragmented by NATO bombing and Ukraine had several ‘color’ uprisings up to the present bloody ‘civil war’. Washington and Brussels interpreted Putin’s series of conciliatory measures as weakness and felt free to encroach further on Russia’s frontier and to knock off regimes friendly to Russia.
By the middle of the second decade of the new century, the US and EU made a major strategic decision to weaken Russia’s security and its economy sovereignty: to seize control over Ukraine, expel Russia from its Black Sea military base in Crimea, convert the Ukraine into an advanced NATO outpost and cut Eastern Ukraine’s economic ties with Russia – especially the Russian market for the strategic Ukrainian military weaponry. The coup was financed by the West, while far-right and neo-Nazi Ukraine gangs provided the shock troops .The Kiev junta organized a war of conquest directed at purging the anti-coup, pro-democracy forces in the southeast Donbas region with its Russian ethnic majority and heavy industrial ties to Russia.
When Putin finally recognized the clear danger to Russia’s national security, his government responded by annexing Crimea after a popular referendum and started to provide sanctuary and supply lines for the embattled anti-Kiev federalists in eastern Ukraine. The West exploited the vulnerabilities in the Russian economy, which had resulted from Putin’s development model, and imposed wide-reaching economic sanctions designed to cripple Russia’s economy.

A secret memo from the FBI’s archives has revealed that Britain’s Winston Churchill once urged the US to drop an atomic bomb to „wipe out” the Kremlin. He reportedly thought it was the only remedy against the spread of communism to the west.
Churchill, Britain’s prime minister during World War II and again during the Cold War 1950s, made his views known to a visiting American politician in 1947, The Daily Mail reported in a preview of a new book, “When Lions Roar: The Churchills and The Kennedys” by investigative journalist Thomas Maier. The book containing the secret FBI memo is to be published next month.
Britain and the Soviet Union had been allies during WW2. However, according to the memo written by an FBI agent, Churchill asked a Right-wing Republican senator, Styles Bridges, to help persuade then-President Harry Truman to launch a nuclear attack which would make the former USSR easy to deal with.
The FBI memo claims Churchill insisted that the „only salvation for the civilization of the world would be if the President of the United States would declare Russia to be imperiling world peace and attack Russia.”
The Soviet Union tested its first atomic bomb in 1949, much to the surprise to the United States, which was apparently unaware that the Soviet Union possessed nuclear weapons.

Kiev Recalls Geneva to Erase Minsk
Finian Cunningham (SCF) : Kiev’s President Petro Poroshenko this week called on his fawning Uncle Sam to resuscitate the Geneva format of peace talks. This forum was first convoked back in April between the US, European Union, Russia and the Kiev regime, with the latter arrogating the title of «Ukraine».
Then only two days after this sudden nostalgia for Geneva, the Kiev regime was accusing Russia of a major cross-border military invasion into eastern Ukraine.
So, what is it? Peace talks, or war? Or maybe both at the same time? The trouble is the Western-backed Kiev regime doesn’t know what it wants, vacillating from one polar opposite to another. The mercurial mendacious logic belies ulterior motives, as always.

How US Rabbis & Israel Traffic In Human Organs & Money Laundering
How US Rabbis & Israel Traffic In Human Organs, Jews Murder & Sell Arab Organs!
“A KIDNEY BY ANY OTHER NAME WOULD SMELL AS SOUR,” can be said of the organ-trafficking and money-laundering FBI sting operation which implicated five Talmudic rabbis from New York and neighboring New Jersey.
This international rabbinical operation spanned from Jewish-entrenched New York to the Jewish state of Israel.
The FBI used an informant, a Talmudic Jew named Solomon Dwek, to approach the rabbis — who were from the Syrian Jewish community in Brooklyn NY and Deal NJ — to help hide his assets. Deal is a wealthy oceanfront borough of New Jersey where the rabbis and their Jewish accomplices have posh summer homes.
Solomon Dwek, a bankrupt real-estate developer was charged in 2006 with scheming to defraud PNC Bank out of $50 million. The FBI enlisted Dwek in 2007 in a plea-bargaining arrangement due to Dwek facing a penalty of 30 years in prison. As a co-operating witness, Dwek was used to expose illicit charity operations run by the rabbis.
Over the course of two years, Dwek arranged to buy a kidney from the rabbis and hid $3 million in assets from creditors through the rabbis’ tax-exempt charitable organizations — all with the blessing of the FBI.

We, CyberBerkut, continue to make known to public junta accomplices’ crimes against their fellow citizens.
Today we publish the Ukrainian Prosecutor-General’s statement prepared for an interdepartmental conference which we found on the official’s PC.
In his statement Vitaliy Yarema tries to reach out the punishers indicating the facts of multiple crimes committed by them:
„Military prosecutions opened 65 criminal cases on the facts of committed crimes which are related to arms or their exercise during only the period of September-October, 2014 (after of truce announcement) in the area of the anti-terror operation”.
The Ukrainian Prosecutor-General makes examples of the cruel crimes against civilians committed by the voluntary subdivisions’ fighters:
„The soldiers of the 24th regional defense battalion Bespaly S.F. and Khelemendrik S.L. at about 9 pm broke in a private house of Shevchenko I.V. in Peschanoe village. These soldiers, threatening with a gun, tied Shevchenko I.V., put a sack on his head and took him out at unknown direction. Moreover, they poured him by petrol, set him on fire and hit his left leg by a knife as well. As result of soldiers’ wrongful acts, Shevchenko got burns on the body and bodily injuries of different severities”.
The junta’s representatives are surprised to know that mad „ATO heroes” are killing civil citizens instead of protecting them from mythical „terrorists”:
„October 22, 2014, two soldiers of the B0095 troops body being in a state of alcoholic intoxication mocked and then killed two civilians”.
According to Yarema’s facts ATO participants first of all should be protected from themselves:
„October 18, 2014, 9 pm, a serviceman of the B2317 troops body being in a state of alcoholic intoxication opened fire by a rifle AK-74, 4 servicemen died and 1 got bullet wound as a result”.
As the Prosecutor-General notices mentioned crimes are not singular.

BEIJING, November 9 (RIA Novosti) – Russian natural gas supplies to China via the „western route” pipeline could exceed deliveries to Europe in the mid-term perspective, Gazprom CEO Alexei Miller said Sunday in Beijing.
Miller, who heads Russia’s state-run energy giant, told reporters that „taking into account the increase in deliveries via ‘western route,’ the volume of supplied [natural gas] to China could exceed European exports in the mid-term perspective.”

BEIJING, November 9 (RIA Novosti) – Russia’s President Vladimir Putin and China’s President Xi Jinping have discussed the possibility of using the yuan in mutual transactions in different fields of cooperation, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Sunday.
„Much attention has been paid to the topic of mutual payments in diverse fields … in yuans which will help to strengthen the yuan as the region’s reserve currency,” Peskov said commenting on the meeting held between Putin and Xi on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Beijing.

For Ochamchire read Afghanistan: Old Tricks from Old Dogs
…
The West is using the spectre of a big Russian naval base in Ochamchire to run away from acting according to its own principles and justify its many previous instances of doing so. Protesting about it, and telling unsubstantiated stories about it, are meant to cover the fact that if the West really objected to Russia’s actions it would try to remove Russia from Abkhazia, but has no intention of doing so, and therefore has no real objection to the things it says are going on.
Pragmatists may argue that principles have to be sacrificed in real, practical situations. But as we have seen in Afghanistan, the West’s own friends have to pay a high price for such hypocrisy. The West has never repudiated its refusal to counter the Soviet invasion with anything real. It is continuing to pursue the line that protesting with words, but not actually doing anything, is justified, and the destruction and misery inflicted on others in consequence is merely acceptable collateral damage.
As long as the West objects to the Russian presence in Abkhazia but doesn’t believe in its own principles we will hear story after story to justify previous unprincipled inactions. Pragmatists themselves are well aware that you cannot resolve any problem by refusing to address the real issue. But the hard, practical consequences of the West’s actions, not Russia’s, are always the last thing the West actually wants us to see.

Aid from the International Monetary Fund will enable Ukraine to pay billions in debt to Russia’s primary gas company and allow Ukraine to buy fuel through the winter. But the IMF deal entails major reforms to the country’s energy industry.
The details of those reforms were not disclosed in an article published in the Financial Times on Oct. 30. But it seems safe to assume they would involve regulations that are beneficial to Western financial interests.

The US mass media and the country’s political officials have shown a remarkable lack of interest in what the Pentagon acknowledged earlier this week was the unprecedented simultaneous firing of two senior commanders at two separate Air Force Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) bases and the administrative disciplining of a third.
Major news outlets, to the extent that they carried the story at all, relied solely on the item prepared by the Associated Press, and for the most part buried even that. The AP got the story by calling the Air Force public information office. No follow-up was done by the New York Times, the Washington Post or any other major newspaper or television network to probe the significance of these disciplinary actions in terms of the extreme state of crisis that has pervaded Washington’s nuclear strike force for well over a year.
Why the silence? By tacit agreement, clearly secrets are being kept about the real state of affairs within a military command whose nuclear war-fighting mission constitutes one of the single greatest threats to the survival of humanity.
http://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2014/11/08/nuke-n08.html
The Pentagon has fired two commanders in its highly troubled nuclear missile force and taken administrative disciplinary measures against a third, the Associated Press confirmed on Tuesday.
The actions were taken against senior officers in both the 90th Missile Wing at F.E. Warren Air Force Base in Wyoming and the 91st Missile Wing at Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota.
Each of these commands is responsible for 150 Minuteman 3 Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs). These missiles carry payloads with 27 times the destructive power of the nuclear bomb dropped on Hiroshima in 1945. They are capable of striking targets some 8,000 miles away within half an hour of their launch and vaporizing everything within a 50-mile radius, killing millions of human beings.
Carrying out simultaneous disciplinary actions against senior officers at two of the Air Force’s three ICBM bases is unprecedented. An Air Force spokesman told the AP that it was merely a “coincidence.”

“Strange” events in Moldova
Today, Moldova is experiencing a number of strange (and obscure to some) political, economic and socio-cultural events that are directly linked to official statements by Romanian leadership (specifically the Prime Minister Victor Ponta) declaring that “in the near future Moldova will cease to exist as a sovereign state” and will be transformed into a “Romanian province”.
In other words, Romania – a NATO and EU member – is officially declaring its intention to annex the sovereign state of Moldova, a country that is a member of UN and many other international organizations. This is not the first attempt, Hitler and dictator Antonesku already tried to carry out an Anschluss of Moldova a while back.
Romanian Prime Minister has a lot of support from leaders and members of the pro-Romanian Liberal and Liberal-Democratic parties in Moldova who are openly advocating unification with Romania, while pushing for suspension of Moldova’s membership in CIS and other organizations tying the country to the East.
The Chair of the Foreign Policy Parliamentary Commission of Moldova Anna Gutsu went even further. She announced that it would be feasible to give up Transnistria (Pridnestrovie) and join the rest of Moldova with Romania. Gutsu stated this in an interview for a Romanian news agency (http://www.ziare.com/europa/moldova/neutralitatea-republicii-moldova-e-o-prostie-scenariul-reunirii-discutat-deja-cu-occidentul-interviu-1329402), where she also expressed her views on a number of issues that are compromising the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Moldova. (http://www.newscom.md/rus/ssha-i-es-dali-dobro-na-prisoedinenie-moldovi-k-ruminii.html)
Oddly enough, the Information and Security Service of the Republic of Moldova, as well as the Attorney General’s Office have been silent on the issue despite the fact that the statements by Anna Gutsu, a member of the ruling parliamentary coalition, clearly call for a breach of territorial unity and constitutional order of Moldova. This can only be interpreted as their approval of such statements by representatives of Moldovan leadership.
As they say – “silence means consent”.

It looks like the entire world is spitting out gold and silver as an investment or hedge, as the prices of both precious metals were tumbling in the past few weeks. Well, at least the demand for gold and silver ‘paper’ isn’t anymore what it used to be, but the demand for physical silver is really booming.
Reports have reached us from Germany that the demand for silver is really surging, and this is an interesting sentiment meter because Germany usually acts as one of the main distribution centers for the European Union. Several large bullion dealers have seen the demand for silver increase, and in just the next few days after last week’s crash, almost all dealers sold as many silver coins in just three days as they usually do in an entire month.
Now you can try to dismiss this easily by saying that the Germans and the rest of the European Union are simply preparing for an upcoming implosion of the Eurozone, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. The US Mint recently had to announce that there were no more silver Eagles in inventory, and that it would have to suspend deliveries for new orders. This announcement hasn’t been made public (why not, US Mint? Are you trying to keep the people dumb?) but was only sent to larger bullion dealers in the USA.

FOI Requests:
DHS Watchlist Analyst Course materials
Under FOIA, there are three categories of requesters: media, which has the lowest level of fees; all others, which are assessed a moderate levels of fees for covering search and duplication costs; and commercial, which has high fees to cover legal review. A Coast Guard lawyer has ruled that, because MuckRock has readers, it’s commercial, not media.
This has come after months of appeals, phone calls, a brief in-person meeting, an open question-and-answer session with hundreds of FOIA officers – including individuals from Homeland Security – and a 2007 FOIA amendment that encourages federal agencies to broadly interpret new and alternative media:
Moreover, as methods of news delivery evolve (for example, the adoption of the electronic dissemination of newspapers through telecommunications services), such alternative media shall be considered to be news-media entities.
Contrast this with what Homeland Security provided as a final response to our request, emphasis mine:
Regarding the „commercial requester” classification, the Agency has also properly determined that the requested records would be used for commercial purposes. Although you assert that any responsive documents would be made available to the public for free on MuckRock’s website, the Agency must balance the commercial interest against the public interest. Making documents available on MuckRock’s website, even at no charge, drives traffic to the website and furthers its commercial purposes. Your request does not provide any information that would allow the Agency to determine that the public interest outweighs this commercial interest.

BENGHAZI, Libya: Libyan state security guards have started a protest at the 120,000 barrels a day Hariga oil port in the east, halting any oil exports, a Libyan oil official said on Saturday.
The port closure is the second blow to Libya’s oil industry within days after gunmen forced the closure of the southern Al-Sharara oilfield which used the pump at least 200,000 bpd.
A tanker had been waiting for three days to lift oil Hariga, located in Tobruk, but the guards did not allow it to, the official said, asking not to be named. The port was only open for fuel imports, he added.
The closure will lower Libya’s output to around 500,000 bpd, based on previous published figures. State firm National Oil Corp (NOC) has not given a production update for a month.

COTTBUS Germany (Reuters) – Sunday marks 25 years since the collapse of the regime that imprisoned and persecuted them, but many victims of former communist East Germany are still so traumatized that celebrating the unification of their country may forever be a challenge.
Thousands who were locked up for their political views, or had their children seized because the State did not consider them to be fit parents, are still deeply distressed – their condition aggravated by the fact that justice and recognition is yet to be granted, says a group lobbying for change.
„Of course anniversaries are a chance to examine the past and commemorate the change from dictatorship to democracy,” said Rainer Wagner, head of the UOKG Umbrella Group for the Victims of Communist Tyranny.
„But it is chilling to see all these speeches on the one hand, and on the other a state and society which is hesitant to pay compensation or bring former aggressors to justice.”
Some 250,000 people were held and interrogated on political grounds from 1945-1989, often simply for expressing the desire to leave. Millions fled before the border was sealed; thousands of those who could not were prevented from ever achieving their potential because of their backgrounds or political beliefs.

(Reuters) – When JPMorgan Chase & Co (JPM.N) agreed to lead a $700 million bond offering for Russian gas producer Gazprom OAO, (GAZP.MM) it was doing business that some U.S. banks are afraid to do, several lawyers and a banker said.
Gazprom faces U.S. sanctions after the U.S. government widened its restrictions against Russia in September. U.S. companies are prohibited from providing goods or technology to Gazprom and others, although they can provide financial services to the companies, meaning JPMorgan obeyed the law in underwriting bonds for the company. Gazprom announced pricing for the deal on Thursday.

Canada and China have signed a reciprocal currency deal that’s expected to dramatically boost exports.
The hub will foster far easier trade between the Canadian dollar and the Chinese yuan, also known as the renminbi. It makes Canada the first country in the Americas to have a deal to trade in the renminbi.
The signing of the deal was announced in Beijing today by Premier Li Keqiang and Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
„It’s a great boon for the Canadian business community, both importers and exporters, because they can now do business in China with the currency and not have to go through multiple financial exchange transactions,” Stewart Beck, president and CEO of the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada, told CBC News.
„So the pundits are saying it could double maybe even triple the level of Canadian trade between Canada and China,” he said.

CAMBRIDGE, England — Late last month, attorneys argued before the US Federal District Court in Manhattan that the United Nations is not immune from liability for the spread of cholera throughout Haiti. The medical science is clear on this point, and none but the UN itself disputes this conclusion.
Yet in denying its role in the Haitian cholera epidemic that has killed more than 8,500 and sickened hundreds of thousands more, the UN jeopardizes its own future.
This much is true: the UN introduced cholera into Haiti in 2010 when it sent peacekeepers from Nepal to the country without constructing adequate sanitation facilities. When they arrived in Haiti, these peacekeepers, assigned to the United Nations Stabilization Mission, were infected with cholera. Until then, Haiti had not experienced a cholera outbreak in more than 200 years.

Despite testifying that she wasn’t informed of the deadly ignition-switch problem until late December 2013, The Wall Street Journal reports that, according to emails it has obtained, GM ordered a half-million replacement ignition switches almost two months before it alerted federal safety regulators to any problems. Who was in charge of GM purchasing at this time? Mary Barra. As WSJ concludes, the switch order, nearly two months before GM told NHTSA of the need for recall in early February, suggests the company took initial concrete action to address the defect, but outside of scrutiny by regulators and vehicle owners.
As The Wall Street Journal reports,
General Motors Co. ordered a half-million replacement ignition switches to fix Chevrolet Cobalts and other small cars almost two months before it alerted federal safety regulators to the problem, according to emails viewed by The Wall Street Journal.
The emails indicate GM placed a Dec. 18 “urgent” order for 500,000 replacement switches one day after a meeting of senior executives. GM and an outside report it commissioned have said the executives discussed the Cobalt at the Dec. 17 meeting but didn’t decide on a recall.
Ms. Barra has said she wasn’t informed of the ignition-switch problem until late December. At the time she was head of global product development and purchasing and supply and had been picked to be the next CEO.

The referendum for the Swiss Gold Initiative is scheduled for November 30th and the propaganda war – between the Swiss National Bank (SNB) and the Swiss Parliament on one side and the Swiss People’s Party (SVP) on the other – has begun and we expect it to escalate as the day draws ever nearer. Having already questioned the ‘location, location, location’ of Switzerland’s current gold stash, and examined the initiative in great depth here, JPMorgan notes that not only might the forthcoming Swiss gold referendum stabilize gold prices at a time when Gold ETF demand continues to decline, but warns, it also appears that markets under-appreciate this event.
As JPMorgan explains,
Gold ETF flows continued to bleed losing $4bn or 6% of AUM cumulatively since the end of August.

U.S.D.A. Approves Modified Potato. Next Up: French Fry Fans
A potato genetically engineered to reduce the amounts of a potentially harmful ingredient in French fries and potato chips has been approved for commercial planting, the Department of Agriculture announced on Friday.
The potato’s DNA has been altered so that less of a chemical called acrylamide, which is suspected of causing cancer in people, is produced when the potato is fried.
The new potato also resists bruising, a characteristic long sought by potato growers and processors for financial reasons. Potatoes bruised during harvesting, shipping or storage can lose value or become unusable.
The biotech tubers were developed by the J. R. Simplot Company, a privately held company based in Boise, Idaho, which was the initial supplier of frozen French fries to McDonald’s in the 1960s and is still a major supplier. The company’s founder, Mr. Simplot, who died in 2008, became a billionaire.
The potato is one of a new wave of genetically modified crops that aim to provide benefits to consumers, not just to farmers as the widely grown biotech crops like herbicide-tolerant soybeans and corn do. The nonbruising aspect of the potato is similar to that of genetically engineered nonbrowning apples, developed by Okanagan Specialty Fruits, which are awaiting regulatory approval.

Western policies toward Russia championed by Washington have led to the current crisis, and if the confrontation continues, Europe will be weakened and become irrelevant, former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev warns.
Speaking to a forum in Berlin amid the celebration of the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, he called on western leaders to de-escalate tensions and meet Russia halfway to mend the current rift.

Is the Maoist Communist China becoming a partner of U.S. imperialism in Afghanistan? U.S. Is Again Interfering in Afghanistan’s Internal Affairs. Ashraf Ghani Was Not Elected by the Afghan Majority
The puppet Ashrarf Ghani was not elected by the Afghan majority, but “selected” by the U.S. government by Secretary John Kerry. Ghani has no legal authority to execute any bilateral security agreement on behalf of the Afghan people with any country . The majority of the Afghan people do not want any foreign military bases and foreign troops on their soil.
I strongly believe that the United States and China are going to cooperate in Afghanistan to achieve their main goal there of controlling and taking Afghanistan’s natural resources, its vast untapped deposits of Rare Earth Elements (REEs) like lithium, which is worth trillions and vital to technology and defense systems. The United States is indebted to China and needs money to mine and control the Afghan people’s resources. The U.S. is now in a financial mess because of the cost of its long war and occupation of Afghanistan. It needs China’s help. Whereas, the United States already occupies Afghanistan with its U.S. “selected” Afghan puppets governments in place and plans to keep its military bases and troops there and to stop the majority of the Afghan people from resisting foreign occupation and plundering their natural resources

It is the perfect World War III scenario.
A terrorist bombing targets Masjid al-Aqsa (like the 1980 Israeli government bomb plot that almost happened). Worldwide outrage, especially in Muslim countries, leads to retaliatory attacks on Israel and Israeli interests.
The Israelis insist ISIL was behind the al-Aqsa bombing. They say the bombing illustrates the dangers of “radical Islam.”
When rockets are fired against Israel from Syria and Lebanon, Israel bombs and invades those countries. But as in the 34-day war of 2006, Israeli troops suffer defeat on the ground, and Israeli cities take ever-bigger hits from Resistance rockets. While Israel calls on the West for help, Russia gives Israel 24 hours to cease all operations in Syria or face “extremely serious consequences” – a euphemism for possible Russian military action in defense of Syria.
Then, in a televised address that shocks the world, Netanyahu announces that in order to help eradicate the “Islamic menace,” Masjid al-Aqsa will not be rebuilt. In its place, he says, a new Zionist Temple will rise.
Radical Zionists – including the tens of millions of apocalypse-wishing Christian Zionists in the USA – celebrate wildly in the streets. Pakistan puts its nuclear missiles on high alert and targets Tel Aviv. India, Israel’s ally, raises the alert level on missiles targeting Pakistan. Israel, following its Samson Option doctrine, puts its missiles targeting the capitals of Europe, the Middle East, and North America on hair trigger alert.
The world stands on the brink.
Is this scenario plausible? Unfortunately, yes.
But would Israel really bomb Masjid al-Aqsa? And could they realistically try to blame ISIL?

A federal judge has ruled that the FBI’s futuristic facial-recognition database is deserving of scrutiny from open-government advocates because of the size and scope of the surveillance technology.
U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan said the bureau’s Next Generation Identification program represents a „significant public interest” due to concerns regarding its potential impact on privacy rights and should be subject to rigorous transparency oversight.
„There can be little dispute that the general public has a genuine, tangible interest in a system designed to store and manipulate significant quantities of its own biometric data, particularly given the great numbers of people from whom such data will be gathered,” Chutkan wrote in an opinion released late Wednesday.
Her ruling validated a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed by the Electronic Privacy Information Center that last year made a 2010 government report on the database public and awarded the group nearly $20,000 in attorneys’ fees. That government report revealed the FBI’s facial-recognition technology could fail up to 20 percent of the time. Privacy groups believe that failure rate may be even higher, as a search can be considered successful if the correct suspect is listed within the top 50 candidates.
„The opinion strongly supports the work of open-government organizations and validates their focus on trying to inform the public about government surveillance programs,” said Jeramie Scott, national security counsel with EPIC.

Remember when everyone decried wholesale Libor manipulation as a crazy conspiracy theory (Zero Hedge: January 2009: „This Makes No Sense: LIBOR By Bank”) because after all, it was impossible for so many people to keep their mouth shut or whatever the generic justification is for disproving such „conspiracy theories”? Why, none other than ICAP chief Michael Spencer says they all though Libor was „unmanipulable.” As it turns out, not only is Libor manipulable(sic), and a vast rate-rigging „conspiracy theory” is quite possible when everyone’s interests are aligned, but it also was massively profitable.
Then it was the turn of the even more massive, multi-trillion FX market, when first UBS squealed like a pig and soon ratted out every other bank in the criminal „Cartel” (or was it „Bandits”?) syndicate (see: „Meet The (First) Seven Banks Who Rigged The FX Market”). End result: banks such as JPM, Citi and BofA forced to review their criminal ways and adjusting their third quarter results a month into Q4. Many more legal fees, charges and settlement coming however for those who lost money on the other side of such long-running manipulation, please accept our condolences: you won’t see a penny.
And finally, there was the precious metals market: a market which all the Keynesian fanatic paper bugs said was immune from manipulation, be it of the central or commercial bank kind, even with every other market clearly exposed for perpetual rigging either by hedge funds, by prop desks, by HFTs, or central banks themselves.
Sadly this too conspiracy theory just was crushed into the reality of conspiracy fact, when moments ago the FT reported that alongside admissions of rigging every other market, UBS – always the proverbial first rat in the coalmine, to mix and match metaphors- is about to „settle” allegations of gold and silver rigging. In other words: it admits it had rigged the gold and silver markets, without of course „admitting or denying” it did so.

Imagine this scenario: You’re on an important trip miles from home and stopped in traffic, but before you can continue on your way, your car shuts down. You’ve got enough gas in the tank and no mechanical problems. But you’re stranded far from home because you’re a few days late on your car payment and the lender won’t let you drive until the debt is paid.
If this sounds like part of a dystopian future in which repo men are now cyborgs, it’s not. It’s happening today and becoming a big part of the new automotive landscape. Car dealers and automotive lenders are targeting those with poor credit by installing GPS-based kill switches, or starter-interrupt devices, on the cars that they sell.
The New York Times recently reported that about 2 million cars are now outfitted with such kill switches in the U.S., which is about one-quarter of subprime car loans, and creditors are not shy when it comes to remotely disabling cars whose owners are behind on their payments:
„Some borrowers say their cars were disabled when they were only a few days behind on their payments, leaving them stranded in dangerous neighborhoods. Others said their cars were shut down while idling at stoplights. Some described how they could not take their children to school or to doctor’s appointments. One woman in Nevada said her car was shut down while she was driving on the freeway.
„Beyond the ability to disable a vehicle, the devices have tracking capabilities that allow lenders and others to know the movements of borrowers, a major concern for privacy advocates. And the warnings the devices emit — beeps that become more persistent as the due date for the loan payment approaches — are seen by some borrowers as more degrading than helpful.”

Luxembourg Takes the Heat, but the World’s Worst Tax Haven – the City of London – Remains Unscathed
There are a lot of tax havens in Europe. But they pale against the power of the City of London.
By Don Quijones, freelance writer, translator in Barcelona, Spain. Editor at WOLF STREET. Mexico is his country-in-law. Raging Bull-Shit is his modest attempt to scrub away the lathers of soft soap peddled by political and business leaders and their loyal mainstream media. This article is a Wolf Street exclusive.
For a tiny country of just 500,000 inhabitants, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is getting a heck of a lot of international attention these days. And certainly not of the welcome kind. At the beginning of this week, the Washington-based International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) published tens of thousands of documents that finally shed light on one of the world’s most important and most secretive tax havens – at least until now.
The picture that emerges is one of endemic tax avoidance and evasion that has helped transform Luxembourg into the world’s richest country on a per capita basis. The country also boasts the world’s highest ratio of bankers to inhabitants – a staggering 1:21.
Thanks to the revelations, we have learned that:
Hundreds of European and global transnationals, including Accenture (the former auditing arm of Arthur Andersen), IKEA, Burberry, FedEx, Blackstone, Deutsche Bank, H.J. Heinz, JP Morgan Chase, Procter & Gamble and HSBC, have signed sweetheart deals (endearingly titled comfort letters) with Luxembourg’s tax authorities that effectively allow them to avoid taxes in the countries where they rack up their profits. In some cases they have paid tax on profits of just 1%.
The “Big Four” accountancy firms – PwC, Ernst & Young, Deloitte and KPMG – served as the frontline architects of Luxembourg’s tax avoidance system. According to PwC, which is alleged to have helped corporations like Pepsi and IKEA reduce their tax bills by billions of euros, ICIJ’s reporting is based on “outdated” and “stolen” information, “the theft of which is in the hands of the relevant authorities.” It said its tax advice and assistance are “given in accordance with applicable local, European and international tax laws and agreements and is guided by a PwC Global Tax Code of Conduct.”
U.S. and U.K. companies appeared more frequently in the leaked files than companies from any other country, followed by firms from Germany, Netherlands and Switzerland. The companies implicated used Luxembourg in combination with other tax havens such as Gibraltar, and Ireland.

A “Magical Fairyland” – How Global Multi-National Corporations Avoid Taxes in Luxembourg
Screen Shot 2014-11-08 at 11.10.20 AM“A Luxembourg structure is a way of stripping income from whatever country it comes from,’’ said Stephen E. Shay, a professor of international taxation at Harvard Law School and a former tax official in the U.S. Treasury Department. The Grand Duchy, he said, “combines enormous flexibility to set up tax reduction schemes, along with binding tax rulings that are unique. It’s like a magical fairyland.”
The deals can be so complex that PwC accountants frequently include “before” and “after” diagrams to illustrate how money flows from subsidiary to subsidiary and across different countries and tax havens. The leaked records show that Luxembourg’s 2009 tax deal for Illinois-based Abbott Laboratories – which makes arthritis drugs and Ensure meal replacement shakes –features 79 steps including companies in Cyprus and Gibraltar. Abbott projected it would invest as much as $50 billion via Luxembourg.
More than 170 of the Fortune 500 companies have a Luxembourg branch, according to Citizens for Tax Justice, a nonprofit research and advocacy group. A total of $95 billion in profits from American corporations’ overseas operations flowed through Luxembourg in 2012, the most current statistics from the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis show. On those profits, corporations paid $1.04 billion in taxes to Luxembourg – just 1.1 percent.

In a show of protest against expressing their anger at collapsing prices (due in part to sanctions against Russia), increased environmental regulations, cheap imports, and high costs, thousands took to the streets, dumping pumpkins, potatoes, and carrots, burning cars, flinging apples, and spraying shit all over a government building in Toulouse. The French are not amused…

Pentagon names military bases as Ebola troop quarantine sites
WASHINGTON — The Pentagon said Friday it has designated five military bases inside the U.S. and two in Europe as quarantine areas for troops returning from the Ebola-response mission in West Africa.
Servicemembers will be isolated for 21 days at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington; Fort Bragg, North Carolina; Fort Hood and Fort Bliss, Texas; and Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Virginia to check for symptoms of the deadly virus, Pentagon press secretary Rear Adm. John Kirby said. Army garrisons in Baumholder, Germany, and Vicenza, Italy, will also be quarantine sites.
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel ordered the three-week quarantines late last month for troops who spend time on the ground as part of the military’s Operation United Assistance, which is supporting U.S. humanitarian aid efforts in hard-hit East Africa countries where nearly 5,000 have died.

Globalist Gorbachev Defends Putin; USSR Role in EU Revisited
Buried deep within an article by Agence France-Presse about former Soviet dictator Mikhail Gorbachev standing up for Russian strongman Vladimir Putin is an absolutely astounding admission: Former top diplomats for the Soviet Union told the French news agency that “the reunification of Germany was allowed on the condition that the USSR would participate in the new European order.”
The revelation is especially explosive considering Gorbachev’s past celebrations of what he publicly called the “new European soviet” — also known as the European Union — as well as the fact that the EU’s leadership isliterally packed with “former” communists, many of them from the former Soviet Union. In light of the predictions and arguments made by Soviet defectors and more recent developments surrounding Russia and Europe, the claims make perfect sense, too.

If There Aren’t Any Ebola Cases in the US, Why is the CDC Doing THIS?
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) made an interesting announcement today via a press release:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has ordered $2.7 million in personal protective equipment (PPE) to increase Strategic National Stockpile (SNS) supplies to assist U.S. hospitals caring for Ebola patients. Products are being configured into 50 kits that can be rapidly delivered to hospitals. Each kit can provide the PPE needed by clinical teams to manage the care of one Ebola patient for up to five days.
The number of kits is limited, but the CDC said they will “help address short-term PPE needs.” They will be “rapidly delivered” from the SNS as requested to hospitals that have suspected or confirmed Ebola cases.
Items included in the kits are impermeable gowns, coveralls, and aprons; boot covers; gloves; face shields and hoods; N95 respirators; powered-air purifying respirator systems and ancillaries; and disinfecting wipes.

Death Of The Working Class In 12 Charts
They say a picture is worth one thousand words. And so here’s a twelve thousand word equivalent essay that quite clearly depicts how the policies of the new millennium are shaping the new world order. The powers that be have looked at these same charts, understand their implications and yet continue on the current path. The objective then is clear. The death of the working class.
With almost 100% of ‘savings’ having been forced into the stock market we are getting ever closer to what will be described as an epic collapse of wealth. However, the more fitting description will be an epic and final transfer of wealth from the working class to the burgeoning aristocracy as assets are picked up for pennies on the dollar. Pay particular attention to data from the end of the 1990′s through the new millennium.

DARPA biotech division seeks ideas to solve Ebola crisis, prepare for ‘next thing’
Pentagon’s main innovation unit is looking for promising ideas that would help thwart infectious disease outbreaks, including Ebola epidemic that already claimed almost 5,000 lives out of 13,241 officially confirmed cases worldwide.
Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), Pentagon’s research organization tasked with developing advanced military technology has announced a tender for innovative research proposals of interest to the Biological Technologies Office (BTO).
“BTO is interested in a range of emerging technical areas, including but not limited to human-machine interfaces, human performance, infectious disease, and synthetic biology. The overarching goal is to develop, demonstrate, and transition biologically-based technologies as part of the national security toolkit,” the solicitation reads.
The Pentagon’s technology arm is prepared to invest up to $700,000 in a promising idea that shows potential in “revolutionary advances in science, technologies, or systems.” It calls on scientists to“radically change established practice.”
“DARPA’s Biological Technologies Office, which launched earlier this year, looks at biology as a technology, with a focus on harnessing living systems or integrating those systems with nonliving systems,”said Alicia Jackson, deputy director of DARPA’s biological technologies office.

Beijing $40 billion offer to revive the historic Silk Road, starts Central-Asia geostrategic competition
Beijing says it will spend $40 billion to revive the historic Silk Road and connect China with Central Asia, the Middle East and Europe. Chinese President Xi Jinping said the ambitious project is designed to „break the connectivity bottleneck” in Asia.
The „Silk Road Economic Belt” initiative, announced by Xi Jinping in 2013, is designed to allow capabilities of Chinese state-controlled construction companies to further expand its already booming trade with central Asia and Europe by diversification of Chinese trade routes, lowering transportation costs, opening up new markets, and an expansion of the Chinese sphere of influence beyond Asia. It will also secure the supply of Uranium and rare metals from Central Asia.

Les Suisses se prononceront le 30 novembre sur l’initiative de l’UDC «Sauvez l’or de la Suisse». Le texte demande d’augmenter massivement la part de métal jaune dans les coffres de la BNS.

the Swiss gold referendum is simply whether the Swiss people want to repatriate their gold that is stocked in other countries, namely in the Bank of England (20% of the Swiss gold) and in the Bank of Canada (10% of the Swiss gold). The rest of the Swiss gold (70%) is stocked in Switzerland. If you understand French, you can read about this initiative here. If it is accepted by the Swiss people, it won’t strike a blow at the USD/Euro/Yen Fiat Money.
Yes – that is part of it – the other part is that the SNB must hold at least 20% of its assets in Switzerland. Currently this figure is around 8% I believe.
i) keeping the Swiss gold physically in Switzerland; ii) forbidding the SNB from selling any more of its gold reserves, and iii) the SNB has to hold at least 20% of its assets in gold.

On the Novorussian side the recent elections did not solve the constant infighting between the various commanders. To my great regret, this nonsense is still going on.
…
There have been numerous concerns raised by various analysts about the ‘divisions’ in the Novorossiyan leadership. The chatter from the Novorossiya side seems to indicate that there exists a serious problem in this. Because these involve people under strenuous conditions, and ambitions and ideologies, as well as trust issues, lead to clashes of sorts, we are confronted with another factor.
Because much of the Novorossiyan reporting on these conflicts is promulgated in official or quasi-official sources; then consider what that means. Novorossiyan leadership’s job is to dissemble the reality of a highly organized hierarchy with clearly defined short, middle, and long terms goals, along with the strategies needed to get them, and the various tactics that will be used along the way. In our past work, we already described the numerous times that the various Novorossiyan militias were able to conceal their strength and compel the enemy to attack prematurely, haphazardly, and in manner leaving their supply lines and rearguards over-stretched. This resulted in the now infamous cauldrons.
Still, further clarity on the subject is needed. What is distorted, using new media in the information war, on the receiving end for the media consumer, is not the same as what is understood within the leadership itself. They are acting out their ‘confusion’ script. It cannot be forgotten that nearly every person on both the political and military side was placed there by the Russians. There is only one chain of command and there is only one grand strategy. It follows from this, that with a high degree of certitude we can say: they are on the same page. Each major event of real significance confirms this thesis. Our work has centered around this thesis and has allowed us to explain and forecast the events with a considerable degree of accuracy, since January.
Calls to better centralize the command are very important to make, because they create the impression of a decentralized command. But the new methods of centralization, and this is critical, in 4GW which mirrors the technology used, allows for a greater degree of autonomy and decision making at the ground level. Communication technologies and the dissemination of broader ranges of knowledge, an increase in generalists with specializations, as opposed to the older model which saw a clear separation of these two, are features of modern organization in all spheres of life including war. In many ways, the new ‘centralization’ has many similar features with what would be called ‘chaos’ or disorganization in 2GW models.
So while it is true that there is significant decentralization among the NM fighters when compared to the Russian Army, it is actually the NM that is creating a new model for the Russian Army and not the Russian Army that is setting a standard for the NM that it cannot yet achieve. Talk to the contrary serves a propaganda purpose, and not much else.

Scientists discover gene that predisposes Ashkenazi Jews to schizophrenia Variations of the DNST3 gene make Ashkenazi Jews 40 percent more likely to develop schizophrenia and similar diseases.
Israeli and American scientists have discovered a gene among Ashkenazi Jews that increases their chances of developing the mental disorder schizophrenia, as well schizoaffective disorder and manic depression. According to a study recently published in Nature Communications, the gene in question raises…
A study published in New Communications has found the gene that predisposes Ashkenazi Jews to various mental illnesses, including schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, and bipolar disorder, according to an article in Haaretz.
The study, which saw over 25 000 Ashkenazi Jews submit DNA samples for testing, has located a variation on the DNST3 gene that raises the likelihood of suffering from these illnesses to 40%, compared to the general average of 15%.
The study was conducted as a joint effort between the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and Dr. Todd Lencz from The Feinstein Institute for Medical Research in New York, reports the Algemeiner.
Dr. Todd Lencz from the Feinstein Institute and the associate dean of Life Sciences at Hebrew University, Ariel Darvasi, performed the experiment and wrote the paper together.
Schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, and bipolar disorder are all debilitating illnesses that can result in severe symptoms for those suffering, including paranoia, uncontrolled mood changes, and even hallucinations. While each has a pharmaceutical regime that can help alleviate symptoms, patients also benefit from long-term psychological support and community support programs.
Hopefully research like this can help locate and discover new ways to help those suffering from these mental illnesses.

One of the most important questions facing anyone who studies the psychology behind Jewish Supremacism is “why” – why do Jewish Supremacists behave the way they do?
What motivates such a cohesive, strongly-motivated, genetically-isolated, supremacist group of people, who actually appear to believe that they have been appointed by God to rule over all other people on earth?
Part of the answer, at least, may have been provided by a new study conducted by geneticists at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. This ground-breaking study has shown that variations of the DNST3 gene make Ashkenazi Jews 40 percent more likely to develop schizophrenia and similar diseases than non-Jews.
According to the Concise Medical Dictionary issued by the Oxford University Press, 2010, schizophrenia is officially defined as a “mental disorder characterized by a breakdown of thought processes and by impaired emotional responses. Common symptoms include delusions, such as paranoid beliefs and hallucinations.”
If ever there was a “delusion”, “paranoid belief” and a “hallucination” on a massive scale, then it has to be the Jewish Supremacist belief that they have been appointed by God to bring “Tikkun olam” (a Hebrew phrase that means “repairing the world”, commonly used by Jewish extremists in explain their mission to earth) to rule over all other people.
According to an article in the Israeli newspaper Haaretz titled “Scientists Discover Gene that Predisposes Ashkenazi Jews to Schizophrenia” the story found that “Variations of the DNST3 gene make Ashkenazi Jews 40 percent more likely to develop schizophrenia and similar diseases.”
