21215 Gleaning Damascus Prophecy 2015 Ticking Regulus 911 Time Bomb

According to Amber Lyon, a three-time Emmy award winning journalist, CNN is routinely paid by the US government and foreign governments to selectively report on certain events. Furthermore, the Antichrist NWO 666 Obozo 911 PetroDebtDollar administration pay CNN for editorial control over some of their content.
CNN Journalist 'Governments Pay Us To Fake Stories', Shocking Exposé
Back in March 2011, CNN sent a four person team to Bahrain to cover the Arab Spring. Once there, the crew was the subject of extreme intimidation amongst other things, but they were able to record some fantastic footage. As Glenn Greenwald of the UK's Guardian writes in his blockbuster article from September 4th 2012:
"In the segment, Lyon interviewed activists as they explicitly described their torture at the hands of government forces, while family members recounted their relatives' abrupt disappearances. She spoke with government officials justifying the imprisonment of activists. And the segment featured harrowing video footage of regime forces shooting unarmed demonstrators, along with the mass arrests of peaceful protesters. In sum, the early 2011 CNN segment on Bahrain presented one of the starkest reports to date of the brutal repression embraced by the US-backed regime.
Despite these accolades, and despite the dangers their own journalists and their sources endured to produce it, CNN International (CNNi) never broadcast the documentary. Even in the face of numerous inquiries and complaints from their own employees inside CNN, it continued to refuse to broadcast the program or even provide any explanation for the decision. To date, this documentary has never aired on CNNi.
Having just returned from Bahrain, Lyon says she "saw first-hand that these regime claims were lies, and I couldn't believe CNN was making me put what I knew to be government lies into my reporting."
Here is a segment of the Bahrain report that Amber Lyon and her team put together. CNNi refused to allow it to air because the Bahrain Government had paid them not to show it.
When Amber Lyon recognized the extent of the reasoning, she challenged CNN. CNN told her to be quiet, and began to view her as a risk. She knew, and found out, too much.
Amber is now trying to tell the story, the real story, of what is going on behind the closed doors of US Media entities. Amber has created her own website, and additionally as noted in the Guardian Article she is trying to share the truth of the deceptions.
What Amber Lyon describes is exactly the reason why CNN never aired the Nick Robertson interview with Muhammed Al Zawahiri in Egypt.
Amber recently did a web interview with Alex Jones on InfoWars. Generally the TreeHouse does not appreciate Alex Jones. He is wound up tighter than piano wire, and unfortunately much of his truth is diminished because of the hype he places upon it.
Alex Jones is easy to disregard as a "conspiracy theorist", not because of what he says, but because of how he says it. Everything is desperate and dangerous with him.
That said, the words and explanations of Ms. Lyon in the discussion/interview are poignant and vastly informative. So I share the video with you so you can hear from Amber herself exactly what is being described and articulated.
It is critical to listen to what she says, not just about Bahrain but also about what the Antichrist NWO 666 Obozo 911 administration is specifically doing.
For the last few years, the mantra of central planners around the world has been "if at first you don't succeed… buy a bigger printing press." However, as Citi's Matt King notes, the following four charts show the monetary experiments are having less and less impact (on the real economy and the pretend stock-market-based one) as peak debt overhangs swamp anything but financial asset inflation.
And as far as The Fed's Legacy… Simply put – King concludes, Most of the economic benefit accrued during QE1.. Because there are structural things that you can't fix with liquidity…
The BoJ has lost it…
The PBOC is losing it…
The Antichrist NWO 666 Central Planners Are Failing Fast
As Steve Ricchiuto explained to a stunned CNBC audience, the US economy is not as awesome as the narrative would proclaim. In fact, based on the underlying data (as opposed to anecdotal perspectives like Jim Cramer this morning dismissing hard data – "I am no longer using these aggregate retail sales reports" – in favor of rose-colored glass half-full CEO expectations from earnings calls) 2015 has seen US macro data deteriorate and disappoint the most since 2006… and weakest absolute start to the year since 2009.
Umm, Yellen we have a problem… worst relative start to a year since 2006
Not decoupled at all…. worst absolute start to the year since 2009
2015 US Economic Data Is Worst Since 2009
In 2014, the price of gold, expressed in US Dollars, went absolutely nowhere (even if its increase in RUB – not to mention many other rapidly devaluing currencies – was a stark surge of 83%). The reason: for the second year in a row, concentrated selling of "paper" gold which saw some 159 tonnes of outflows from gold-backed ETFs, primarily in the US. This however, is a substantial slowdown from the 880 tonnes of gold ETF outflows in 2013, selling which started in earnest when the price of gold peaked just shy of $2000 on September 6, 2011… the day the SNB instituted its now failed currency control attempt to set a 1.20 EURCHF floor.
Furthermore, ever since the SNB's stunning defeat in the currency wars one months ago (as noted above, the price of gold peaked hours before the SNB instituted its now defunct EURCHF floor in September 2011, and the result was an epic selling of gold-backed ETFs), sentiment expressed via paper gold has turned "tentatively positive" in the words of the World Gold Council, and so far in 2015, ETFs have seen inflows of around 60 tonnes, the vast majority (over 90%) of which has been into US-based funds.
And while one can debate just what was the net demand/supply for various other sectors such as jewelry, technology, and physical (not paper) gold investment, one thing is clear: central banks went on a shopping spree. According to the latest World Gold Council data, in 2014 the world's central banks went on a golden shopping binge to take advantage of the ongoing dumping in paper ETF gold, resulting in bank net purchases amounted to 477 tonnes over the past year, a 17% above 2013's 409 tonnes. This was the second highest year of central bank net purchases for 50 years, coming second only to the 544 tonnes added to global gold reserves in 2012.
Who took the biggest advantage of the depressed gold price? One name sticks out: spot it on the chart
Who sold? Why the latest foreign-policy debacle for the Antichrist NWO 666 Obozo 911 US state department of killer clowns, of course: Ukraine.
If that was all there was, Russia could actually be thankful to Ukraine for essentially transferring over its gold from Kiev to Moscow. But there is much more here than meets the eye, and the biggest wildcard remains as usual China. Because after its gold-buying splurge, Russia currently has – according to official data – more gold, 1,208.2 tonnes in its, and certainly not the NY Fed's vault – than China. The problem, is that China's gold holdings were last updated officially in early 2009.
And as everyone following the physical gold space knows, there are really just two key, outstanding questions:
What is the updated total inventory of Chinese gold holdings (estimated to be somewhere between 3,000 and 6,000 or more tonnes), and Just what is the PBOC waiting for and when will it reveal this number
With global geopolitical events moving ever faster, and with "developed world" central banks increasingly losing control almost on a daily basis, China may have to answer both questions relatively soon.
Antichrist 666 Central Banks Buy The Second Most Gold In 50 Years: A Look At Who's Buying
Those who understand the course of history when it comes to empires such as that which the US has constructed will surely plan ahead for worse to come.
TSA to Arrest Anyone Charged with any Crime trying to Come or Leave – including taxes … The border is closing rapidly. First it was FATCA hunting Americans with any assets overseas whatsoever. Now just two days after taking charge of the committee chairing the House Homeland Security subcommittee hearing, U.S. Rep. John Katko introduced two bills. He is looking to effectively close the borders using terrorism as the excuse as always to hunt down Americans. Katko is a former federal prosecutor. So he knows precisely what he is doing writing a law that is so broad, that anyone suspected of a crime cannot leave the country.
This is any crime. Keeping gold in a safe deposit box is money laundering carrying up to 25 years in prison. – Martin Armstrong
Dominant Social Theme: Terrorism has to be fought. Broad laws are better. Free-Market Analysis: This article from Martin Armstrong is a timely reminder that cross-border protections are getting stronger not weaker. We've estimated in the past that within two years time it will be significantly more difficult to get funds in and out of the US. Armstrong has come to the same conclusion. Most of the terrorism legislation and military and civilian terrorism measures are not aimed so much at terrorists, from our point of view, as they are at citizens.
Antichrist NWO 666 Mark Of The Beast Dragnet Closing in on US Citizens and Their Assets
Precedents exist for requiring citizens to produce special ID for domestic travel; they include Nazi Germany, apartheid South Africa and Russia (both Imperial and Soviet).
Over the Christmas season, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) quietly announced that America was walking down that path. By 2016, all domestic air travel will require either a traditional passport or a federally-compliant ID card called "Real ID." State driver's licenses will no longer allow Americans access to domestic flights, as they do now. Real ID will constitute an internal passport. (The drop-date date is commonly reported as January.)
An internal passport refers to an identity document that people must produce to move from place to place within national borders. It allows a government to monitor the movement of its own people and to control that movement by granting or denying ID. In the past, governments have used internal passports to isolate 'undesirables', to regulate economic opportunities, to reap personal data, to intimidate and command obedience, and to segregate categories of people (like Jews BUT NOW "CHRISTIAN IS THE NEW "NWO VERSION") for political purposes. It allows a government to bind anyone it chooses to his or her place of birth.
The upcoming Real ID requirement targets only air travel. But that's how it begins – with airports.
TSA Demands Internal Passport for Domestic Travel
After people became numb to years of ID demands, questioning and searches at airports, those tactics spread to train stations and subways. Then highway check-points were established in areas that lay within 100 miles from an "external boundary," including coasts. U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents now have the authority to stop a traveller if they have "reasonable suspicion" of an immigration violation or other crime. Although the agents do not currently have authority to demand ID from American citizens, they often do so.
The ACLU has repeatedly cautioned that "[i]n practice, Border Patrol agents routinely ignore or misunderstand the limits of their legal authority in the course of individual stops, resulting in violations of the constitutional rights of innocent people….These problems are compounded by…the consistent failure of CBP to hold agents accountable for abuse. Thus, although the 100-mile border zone is not literally 'Constitution free', the U.S. government frequently acts like it is."
Many states and, so, many individuals will not make TSA's January 2016 deadline for Real ID. Some hope the humanitarian TSA will push back the deadline as it did last year. And a delay may happen…for logistical reasons. If it does, those who wish to escape a nation with internal passports may have another year to do so.
But the main hope of delaying Real ID is a confrontation between the federal and state governments. In 2012, the governor of Montana declared,
"Montana will not agree to share its citizens' personal and private information through a national database, nor bear the exorbitant cost [of] building such a database. Furthermore, the Act tramples on our state's right to determine our own licensing procedures and protocols, and would interfere with our state's work to improve drivers' license security. Montana is in no mood at all for another heavy-handed play by the federal government, such as what transpired in 2008 when the homeland security director threatened to prevent Montanans from boarding an airplane unless we complied with the REAL ID act. We refused, and will refuse again."
Brave words. But Real ID is coming. When it arrives with both feet, Real ID will make it much more difficult for freedom-loving people to avoid the federal behemoth. Of course, that is its purpose. FATCA and related global measures gave the feds access to every cent that any American possessed in the world. Now Real ID wants to ensure that no American can avoid federal detection within domestic borders..
"What difference does it make?" ..the American Ambassador was left to be slaughtered, like; every Christian is an Obozo 911 Marine behind the wall of Babylon. Have another drink, Mr. Joe 666 Pak I Stan'd, and watch the football game on "SmartTV". LIKE A GOOD LITTLE MEATHEAD! Don't forget to throw another pound of flesh on the altar of Moloch you call a grill. Asshole.
ANTICHRIST ISIS SEIZES RAMADI CITY – 300 Antichrist NWO 666 Homosexual Pride Obozo 911 US Marines Trapped at Base – Iraq Loses Contact With Base
Syrian rebels, whose forces are fighting against a new offensive in the South by the axis of the Syrian Army, Hezbollah, and Iran, is calling on Israel to attack their positions.
An Israeli Druse who is in frequent contact with the Syrian opposition said that the warning came to alert the IDF, before the axis is able to take the Syrian Golan that borders Israel.
A Syrian rebel commander in the South vowed to wage guerrilla war against the Lebanese group Hezbollah and Syrian government forces, which have launched a major offensive against insurgents in the sensitive border region near Israel and Jordan.
The offensive that got under way this week is focused in an area south of >>Damascus<< that is the last notable foothold of the mainstream armed opposition to President Bashar Assad, who has consolidated control over much of western Syria.

Antichrist NWO 666 President Barack Obozo The 911 Clown Homosexual Pride Commander In Chief Of The Most Powerful American Banker Military Force That Shall Ever Exist would likely veto a Antichrist 666 Mark Of The Beast Fed audit but there is also a chance it could be added as an amendment to "must-pass" legislation, such as with the bill to fund the (HOW "IRONIC CAN YOU GET") Department of Homeland Security.

Question: When do you know that you live in a tyranny?
Answer: When the citizens vote to ban red light cameras and the city reacts by suing them.
St. Charles County, MO — St. Peters, O'Fallon, Lake St. Louis, and a councilman from O'Fallon have filed a lawsuit against their OWN CITIZENS.
In November of last year, the citizens of St. Charles County democratically expressed their anger with the use of red light cameras in their town. Seventy-three percent of those who went to the polls approved a measure to ban red light cameras.
However, the fat cat bureaucrats, apparently afraid of losing the money generated from the rights-violating red light cameras, don't like that vote. They are now taking action to punish the citizens for trying to undermine their perceived authority.
Officials in Missouri are SUING THEIR OWN RESIDENTS for Voting Against the Police State
In true Orwellian fashion, the cities are claiming that the measure, which was passed by voters, is unconstitutional.
The attorney representing the cities in the lawsuit said the county's legal authority is cut and dry.
The state can dictate what cities are authorized to do or prohibit the cities from doing things. There's nothing in the Missouri Constitution that provides the county to do the same thing," said attorney John Young.
In other words, politicians can mandate that the citizens be extorted by removing due process and sending them tickets in the mail. However, if the citizens try and stop this act of extortion, it is "unconstitutional" and their consent is no longer needed.
On Tuesday, FOX 2 News in St. Louis, looked into the cost of this ridiculous suit. They reported that St. Peters could pay between $500,000 and $750,000 and the cost to St. Charles County government could be up to $150,000.
But where would this money come from? Simple, it would come from the very people they are attempting to sue!
It is estimated that the lawsuit could take years to resolve in the courts. And so continues the ridiculous and vicious cycle of the state.
^^^At this point, hanging all the bankers and the politicians is not an option. If they are not hung at this point then everything that is described in the Bible regarding the tribulation of this terminal generation shall play out now. The Antichrist NWO 666 "government" did not militarize the police that serve and protect the "government", the "Antichrist 666 Mark Of The Beast Government" that gave bonus checks to the criminal bankers, for nothing. YOU ARE IN A PRISON NOW. EVERY DAY YOU ARE STUPID ENOUGH TO PROVIDE YOUR LABOR IS NOW A MARK OF A HELL-BOUND FOOL. THAT IS A FACT NOBODY CAN CLAIM IS FALSE AT THIS POINT.
The sad prophetic "FACT" is, the prophetic "strong delusion" and "lukewarm Laodicean" reality of this terminal generation is proving it's self as The Whore and The Beast. No bankers have been put in prison and every passing day the nations are coming undone to the breaking point of the new world order modern age of war.
Hanging bankers and their political hosts at this point is an act of futility because the general public has proven to be not only brainless but heartless to the point where they can kiss their own children off to a "public school based on debt" and smile at the very foundation they have sacrificed for the sake of their own delusion, and then go back to work so they can "save" up at NIRP for their kids future as a 666 sealed hotdog on a grill …IN HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Principal to contact FBI after student throws U.S. flag
Archuleta said four students started throwing grammar workbooks and erasers out a classroom window last month. One of the eighth grader students took it a step farther by tossing an American flag out into the snow.
"He says, 'Because I was just messing around,' and he started to laugh," Archuleta said. "Then the other kids were laughing, the kids that were with him. 'There goes the flag.' That was his last statement."
The principal is a veteran. His father is also a veteran who fought in World War II.
"A lot of men have died over [the flag], men and women," Archuleta said. "We fought to keep our country safe and to keep it free."
While the United States Supreme Court has ruled that the desecration of the flag is protected free speech, the principal cites federal law that prevents disgracing the Stars and Stripes.
The principal called the school resource officer with Rio Arriba County, but because it is a federal offense they referred him to the FBI.
"I want to report it to them because it is a federal law, so it's in their hands," Archuleta said.
Last week, he suspended the 14-year-old last week for 10 days, but he is recommending long-term suspension or expulsion.
"I am a firm believer in citizenship and U.S. history and our history, and these are going to be our future leaders," Archuleta said of his students. "I want them to understand they have to take responsibility."
Bill Would Require Schools To Teach Students 'Appropriate' Way To Interact With Antichrist NWO 666 Police
Once again, the onus is put on the unarmed children, rather than on the armed men and women patrolling, initiating contact with teenagers and others. Is this anything other than victim-blaming?
The bill says that the curriculum would be required from elementary through high school, and must be characterized by "mutual cooperation and respect."
Ari Rosmarin, the public policy director for the New Jersey ACLU, disagreed with these politicians, saying that the bill misses the point and lacks a critical component.
"The bill calls for education on young peoples' roles and responsibilities, but it's missing the third R: rights. The classroom is the appropriate place for a know-your-rights education," Rosmarin explained.
"Recent events make a strong case for New Jersey's young people being made aware of their rights and how to protect them when interacting with the police."
Rosmarin added that "we hope to see officers receive equally robust training about interacting with young people in New Jersey's community."

Russia is not a debtor nation. At this writing in January, Russia's debt to GDP ratio is low and most of its external debt is private. Physical gold accounts for 10 percent of Russia's foreign currency reserves. The budget deficit, as of a November 2014 projection, is likely to be around $10 billion, much less than 1 percent of GDP. The poverty rate fell from 35 percent in 2001 to 10 percent in 2010, while the middle class was projected in 2013 to reach 86 percent of the population by 2020.
Is Russia Planning A Gold-Based Currency?
Collapsing oil prices serve only to intensify the monetary attractiveness of gold. Given that oil exports, along with the rest of the energy sector, account for 45 percent of GDP, the depreciation of the ruble will continue; newly unstable fiscal conditions have devastated banks, and higher inflation looms, expected to reach 10 percent by the end of 2015. As Russia remains (for the foreseeable future) mainly a resource-based economy, only a move to gold, arguably, can make the currency stronger, even if it does limit Russia's available currency.
In buying as much gold as it has, the country is, in part, ensuring that it will have enough money in circulation in the event of such fundamental transformation. In terms of re-establishing post-oil shock international prestige, a move to gold will allow the country to be seen as a more reliable and trustworthy trading partner.
The repercussions of Russia on a gold-exchange standard would be immense. Above all, it would mean the first major schism in the world's monetary order. China would quite likely follow suit. It could mean the threat of a severe inflation in the United States should rafts of unwanted dollars make their way back across the Atlantic — the Fed's ultimate nightmare. Above all, the country will avoid the extreme debt leverages which would not have happened had Western capitals remained on gold.
As Alisdair MacLeod, a two-decade veteran of off-shore banking consulting based in the UK, recently wrote, Russia (and China) will "hold all the aces" by moving away from any possible currency wars of the future into the physical gold market. In his article, he adds that there is currently a low appetite for physical gold in Western capital markets and longer-term foreign holders of rubles would be unlikely to exchange them for gold, preferring to sell them for other fiat currencies.
Mr. Macleod cites John Butler, CIO at Atom Capital in London, who sees great potential in a gold-exchange standard for Russia. With the establishment of a sound gold-exchange rate, he argues, the Central Bank of Russia would no longer be confined to buying and selling gold to maintain the rate of exchange. The bank could freely manage the liquidity of the ruble and be able to issue coupon-bearing bonds to the Russian public, allowing it a yield linked to gold rates. As the ruble stabilizes, the rate of the cost of living would drop; savings would grow, spurred on by long term stability and lower taxes.
Foreign exchange also would be favorable, Mr. Butler maintains. Owing to the Ukraine crises and commodities crises, rubles have been dumped for dollar/euro currencies. Upon the announcement of a gold-exchange, demand for the ruble would increase. London and New York markets would in turn be countered by provisions restricting gold-to-ruble exchanges of imports and exports.
The geopolitics of gold also figure into Russia's increasingly close relations with China, a country that also has made clear its preference for gold over the dollar. (Russia recently edged out China as the world's top buyer of the metal.) In the aftermath of the $400 billion, 30-year deal signed between Russian gas giant Gazprom and the China National Petroleum Company in November 2014, China turned its focus to the internationalization of its own gold market. On January 15, 2015, the Shanghai Gold Exchange, the largest physical gold exchange worldwide, and the World Gold Council, concluded a strategic cooperation deal to expand the Chinese gold market through the new Shanghai Free Trade Zone.
This is not the first time the gold standard has been seen as the ultimate cure for Russia's economic problems. In September 1998, the noted economist Jude Wanninski predicted in a far-sighted essay for The Wall Street Journal that only a gold ruble would get the the country out of its then-debt crises. It was upon taking office about two years later, in May 2000, that President Putin embarked upon the country's massive gold-buying campaign. At the time, it took twenty-eight barrels of crude just to buy an ounce of gold. The gold-backed ruble policy of those years was adopted to successfully pay down the country's external debt.
As a pro-gold stance is, essentially, anti-dollar, speculation about how the US would react raises the question of whether an all-out currency war would follow. The West would have to keep Russia regionally and militarily marginalized, not to mention kept within the confines of the Fed, the ECB, and the Bank of England (BOE).
Nor is that prospect too far-fetched. As Dutch author Willem Middelkoop has written in his 2014 book The Big Reset: War on Gold and the Financial Endgame,
A system reset is imminent. Even before 2020 the world's financial system will need to find a different anchor. … In a desperate attempt to maintain this dollar system, the United States waged a secret war on gold since the 1960s. China and Russia have pierced through the American smokescreen around gold and the dollar and are no longer willing to continue lending to the United States. Both countries have been accumulating enormous amounts of gold, positioning themselves for the next phase of the global financial system.
So Crimea, which was not mentioned, and whose "annexation" by Russia so infuriated the western leaders, is Vlad's to keep?
Did The US just blink? Perhaps under pressure from Merkel having enough of Obozo's "costs", Secretary of State John Kerry just released the following statement…
US Blinks: Kerry Says Prepared To Roll Back Sanctions On Russia
The signing of the new Minsk agreement, as well as Russian President Vladimir Putin's direct participation in the negotiations, points to the Kremlin's willingness to at least partially de-escalate the conflict at this time. The agreement includes some vague measures and conditions that all sides may ultimately chose not to implement. Several key points of contention remain unaddressed, and there are still many opportunities for the agreement to break down if they are not resolved. Therefore, political will, rather than the actual terms of the agreement, will determine whether a significant de-escalation is to take place.
Because both sides will have to withdraw their artillery systems, the result will be a very deep area without artillery cover in the center of the demarcation line.
The Terms Of The Ukraine Cease-Fire: Presenting "East Ukraine"
Why Does Syria Have to Be Occupied Before Attacking Iran?
Putin threatened to nuke the United States if it invaded Syria in violation of international law. Syria is critical to the Russians on a number of fronts. However, the most compelling reason for Putin to defend Syria is because if the U.S. is able to successfully occupy Syria, the U.S. will be able to install their short and medium range missile batteries which would prevent the Russians from moving into Syria, thus preventing anAmerican ground invasion of Iran. Once Syria is occupied by the U.S. it is just a matter of time until the U.S. can find a reason to invade Iran. Once Iran is conquered, the Petrodollar is preserved, at least for the time being. Invading Syria has been Obozo's top foreign policy goal since 2013. Obozo is now on his second Reichstag moment with regard to putting boots on the ground in Syria.
President Obozo previously tried to invoke his "Reichstag" pretext for war with Syria as Obozo had accused Syrian leader, Assad, of using chemical weapons against the rebels in 2013, despite the fact that it appears likely that the al-Qaeda run rebels were the ones using chemical weapons. Obozo was unable to get Congress or the American people to believe that this chemical attack was a justified reason to go to war, and in the fall of 2013, Obozo failed to get the war with Syria that he desired.
Obozo's Second Reichstag Moment
Ask the average American, "Who is ISIS?", they will pause and give you a blank stare. ISIS came from nowhere. is well armed and acts like a well-trained army. Abracadabra, poof, ISIS appears at the very time we pull out of Iraq. This is no coincidence. What we now know is that the U.S. military left behind key combat equipment in Iraq. By law, the U.S. military was to destroy these weapons upon vacating a war zone. Why wasn't this done? Someone had to give the order to not destroy the equipment. And just who comprises ISIS? We are now told that it is a conglomeration of terrorist interests ranging from al Qaeda to Hamas to the Muslim Brotherhood. And this loose confederation of terrorists are armed to the teeth in the latest in American military technology. Even the most ardent supporter of the Obozo administration would have to suspect that ISIS is a CIA creation and that is exactly what my military sources have been telling me.
The goal for ISIS is to spread terror and havoc across Iraq and have this spread into Syria. I wrote in 2013, that there will be a provoking event which will invite American military intervention into Syria against ISIS as an excuse to remove Assad and occupy Syria. Kayla Jean Mueller's death has provided that provocation. Kayla's noble character and devotion to humanity makes her an ideal martyr for Obama to be doing what he is doing which is commence a "three year ground war" against ISIS.
My military sources are laughing in amazement that anyone would believe that it would take the full force of the U.S. military three years to take down ISIS. What a joke! Because of air superiority, our military could eliminate ISIS as an effective battlefield force in three days, not three years! However, what ISIS does provide is an impetus to boots on the ground in Syria. The following is a map of ISIS territorial gains.
Obozo Has Finally Found His Excuse to Invade Syria
Yemeni military officials say al-Qaida militants have seized control of an important army base in the south following clashes with soldiers.
Antichrist Al-Qaeda militants seize Yemeni military base in south
The officials say at least four troops and four militants died in the fighting and that at least 15 soldiers were taken hostage. The base is home to Yemen's 19th Infantry Brigade and is located in the Baihan area in southern Shabwa province..
Iranian backed rebels, otherwise known as Islamic terrorist Houthis, reportedly took over diplomatic vehicles as personnel fled the country.
Yemen rebels seized U.S. Embassy vehicles in the capital of Sanaa on Wednesday as diplomats fled the country and several foreign embassies closed amid deteriorating security conditions.
More than 25 vehicles were taken by Houthi rebels after Americans departed the city's airport, airport officials told the Associated Press.
The Marine Corps said security personnel destroyed their personal weapons before boarding a commercial flight out of Yemen.
Yemen Falls Apart: Marines Forced to Destroy Weapons, U.S. Embassy Evacuated, Al Qaeda Seizes Military Base
President of Concerned Veterans of America Pete Hegseth discussed the situation last night on The Kelly File.
"We're surrendering around the world, we're surrendering our embassy, and now we're asking U.S. Marines to surrender their dignity, give up oaths that they made, creeds that they live by, and surrender their rifle," Hegseth said.
Despite President Obozo claiming in September that U.S. strategy used to combat terrorism in Yemen has been a "success," so successful in fact that it should be used to defeat Antichrist ISIS, the country continues to fall apart. Late yesterday the United States evacuated the U.S. embassy in Yemen and Marines were bizarrely ordered by the State Department to destroy issued weapons on their way out.
Secret Iranian unit fueling Mideast bloodshed with illicit arms shipments
As conflicts and civil wars rage across the Middle East and North Africa, a shadowy covert cell operating under the Iranian government is fueling the bloodshed.
Unit 190, a secret arm of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard's Quds Force made up of about two-dozen employees, has for years smuggled arms to these conflict zones.
After an extensive investigation tracing the land, air and sea routes used by the Quds Force to move weapons to Hezbollah, Hamas and now the Houthis in Yemen, Fox News has also learned from western intelligence sources the name of the Iranian man who is a key player in Unit 190: Behnam Shahariyari, born in 1968 in Ardabil, northwest Iran.
According to western intelligence sources, Shahariyari runs a network of straw companies — which skirt sanctions packing RPG's, night-vision equipment and long-range rockets in powdered milk, cement and spare vehicle parts.
Iranian fingerprints have been noticed on illicit shipments across the region.
Could soon control Syrian side of armistice line
Iranian officers working with the Iranian-backed Hezbollah terrorist organization are fighting their way closer to Israel's northern border with Syria and could soon be in control of the Syrian side of the armistice line.
"Fed" Or "Fundamentals" – You Decide
Regardless of who is at fault for the (partial) shut down, one can't blame dockworkers for doing what Greece is actively doing at the same time in its own negotiations with Europe: maximizing its leverage. Because as Bank of America showed yesterday, in a piece dedicated precisely to this topic, nothing short of 3.5% of marginal US GDP is at steak, which translated into CAGR terms, means that the fate of America's estimated 3% growth in 2015 is suddenly in the hands of a few thousand port workers, and with that, whether or not the US has a recession.
keep in mind that to many economists, or at least those who realize that the US economy is in a far worse shape than what official government data represents, an "exogenous" event like a West Coast port strike, just like a "Polar Vortex" is precisely what the doctor ordered. After all, what better scapegoat for the lack of growth than a few thousand dockworkers who are merely leveraging capitalism as much as they can… even if it means shutting down key US economic supply-chains in the process
The "Catastrophic Shutdown Of America's Supply Chain" Begins: Stunning Photos Of West Coast Port Congestion
Meanwhile, the S&P is under 1% from its all time high.
When not even Tesla's non-GAAP adjustment magic, shown previously in the following "bridge", can boost sales or earnings any more to beat Wall Street expectations, one things is clear: as SocGen's Albert Edwards puts it "US corporate profits and sales are crumbling."
It's not just his opinion: it's the truth
Chart Of The Day: "Profits And Sales Are Crumbling"
"Give me control of a nation's money and I care not who makes the laws." —Mayer Rothschild.
For most people, facing the truth is a hard thing to do. It is so much easier to simply ignore the obvious than it is to make the necessary, hard decisions that are required once we know the truth.
Facing the truth takes courage. Dealing with the truth demands courage. But ignoring harsh reality is cowardly. As I often say, "Silence isn't golden, it's yellow."
As any "therapist" will tell you, the first step to healing is admitting the truth about your condition. An alcoholic will never seek treatment until he admits he has a problem. A gambler will never seek help until he admits that he is hooked on gambling. And a woman can never receive healing and forgiveness for a past abortion until she admits that what she did was wrong.
So, too, America is in a mess because we will not admit the obvious. We have failed to deal with what we know to be true. As in 'The Wizard of Oz', there really are 'men behind the curtain.'
with remarkably few exceptions, the global Status Quo is a vast Empire of Lies.
the phrase perfectly captures the total dependence of the Status Quo on a constant spew of lies. The complete and total dependence on lies was cemented on December 5, 1996, when Alan Greenspan's injudicious tidbit of truthtelling–Greenspan hinted that the stock market might be manifesting irrational exuberance–caused the stock market to plummet sharply.
Does any political or financial leader dare speak this truth in public? What would happen if someone did declare that the monetary Emperor had no clothing?
Mysterious Murder: DC Lawyer Found Dead Had Ties To Greece And International Banking World
They see themselves, their positions, as being under attack. And they blame Greece's new Syriza government for that. Which may seem logical at first blush, but that doesn't make it true. The people sitting on the other side from Varoufakis have dug themselves into these positions.
Which, as they rightfully fear, are now threatened. Not because Syriza means to do so, but because they come to the table with that mandate, to put an end to what has caused Greece to sink as deep as it has. There's nothing personal about that, it's democracy at work, it's politics. Still, it's perceived as personal, because it makes the 'old' leadership uncomfortable. They haven't seen it coming, they were convinced, all the way, that they would prevail. They mostly still are, but in a now much more nervous fashion.
It's started to dawn on them that perhaps Syriza will not back down on its demands, that yet another – mostly superficial – political deal is not in the cards. CNBC reported last night that a deal on an extension of the existing bailout was near, and markets reacted quite strongly. It would appear, therefore, that both media and investors have been as deaf as the EU to what Syriza has been consistently saying, that it's not interested in such an extension. It was never on the table, not from the Greek point of view.
There is of course a fear within the EU that what is granted to Greece will eventually also have to be handed to other countries. Interestingly, though, the incumbent governments of the countries involved, Spain, Portugal, Italy, have a vested interest in Syriza failing. Because if it doesn't, their powers are set to dwindle. This is most urgently obvious in Spain, where PM Rajoy's ruling party is already way behind Podemos in the polls.
Maybe for the reigning 'kings and queens' of the EU and its member states it's inevitable that all this should become personal at some point. They've certainly tried hard enough to trivialize Grillo as some kind of clown through the years. Perhaps, also, it's the demeanor, the popularity and the person of Varoufakis, the 'new heart-throb of the thinking German woman', as Ambrose characterized him. And I don't think he meant Angela Merkel. Christine Lagarde, perhaps, who showed up yesterday in the sort of attire that seemed designed to blend in with Yanis.
But I still think the main reason things got personal is that with the arrival of Syriza on the scene, the 'kings and queens' can just 'intuitively smell' the changes that are afoot, and that don't spell anything good for their own plush seats. For a while they could pretend it was all only – mostly right-wing – extremists that expressed feelings critical of the EU. And of course, Syriza is still habitually labeled 'extreme left wing' and 'Marxist', but Varoufakis clearly isn't seen by people in Germany et al as some extremist nutcase.
The usual bag of tricks no longer works. And the subject Varoufakis brings to the table, that the EU and ECB economical policies have been an abject failure – at least for the people in Greece' Main Street – is not some extreme notion either. Schäuble and Dijsselbloem can try and cling to the idea that Greece seeks to swindle German and Dutch voters out of even more money than they already have, and that still works to an extent, but it is wearing thin.
The contagion from Syriza success can be considerable, and though it pretends otherwise, the EU has no idea what it would mean down the line. Every single option they look at that is NOT Varoufakis surrendering, must scare them out of their socks. Anything they give up will be seen as a sign of weakness, and it will encourage parties for which Syriza 'carries the torch', and likely raise their support and votes.
However, if the Eurogroup don't give up anything at all in the negotiations, there may be a Grexit, even with Russia and/or China stepping in to fund Athens. While there are all sorts of reports claiming that Grexit is manageable for the EU, don't believe a word of them: nobody knows. And none of the present big shots wants to be held responsible for blowing up the common currency.
They have come to the realization over the past week that Syriza can be a ground-breaking force in Europe, not just a minor nuisance. They will have to adapt their attitude and their way of thinking, real fast. Monday February 16 comes to mind. Because Syriza will not back down and go for a bailout extension. For the simple reason that it is not what they see as their mandate. The Eurogroup had better be prepared for that, or it might become irrelevant in no time.
And no, no matter what they think, it's not personal. Not for Varoufakis it isn't. He merely represents the Greeks without access to health care who line up at soup kitchens. But you're right, for those people, living in the third world that Europe has created within its borders, it's very personal.
The reason to be fearful about the economic and financial future is that we are in the thrall of a mainstream consensus that is downright meretricious. In attacking Rand Paul's audit legislation, for instance, one of the time-servers on the Fed Board of Governors, Jerome H. Powell, let loose the following gem:
"As recent U.S. history has shown, elected officials have often pushed for easier policies that serve short-term political interests….."
Perhaps Mr. Powell is a descendent of Rip Van Winkle—–and missed the last 20 years of history while doing LBOs at the Carlyle Group and helping Congress improve upon its enviable record of fiscal management while at the Bipartisan Policy Center. But whatever he was doing—snoozing or otherwise distracted—- it most assuredly was not gathering evidence that "elected officials" were putting undue pressure on the Fed for "easier policies".
For crying out loud there is exactly zero evidence that "politicians" had anything to do with zero interest rates. And ZIRP defines the ultimate level of "ease" according to Bernanke himself, who famously described his policies as positioned at the "zero bound".
Indeed, given the very earliest expected date for "lift-off" in June, the Fed will have pinned the money market rate at zero for 80 months running. This unprecedented tsunami of "easy money", of course, happened with nary a Congressman or Senator darkening the door at the Eccles Building.
Folks, this whole chorus of Fed governors—–yesterday's lineup included Richard Fisher and Charles Plossner—-defending the sacred "independence" of the Federal Reserve is downright Kafkaesque. Rather than protecting the Fed from meddling politicians, it is the American public that desperately needs protection from the depredations of an unelected monetary politburo that runs the entire financial system.
Audit The Fed – And Shackle It, Too
Let's say you have saved a quarter million bucks over a lifetime of working and scrimping, but wish to keep it safe and liquid in your retirement years. Well thank you "independent" governors of the Fed for the privilege of owning a bank CD that generates 40 bps or the grand sum $2.75 per day. That's one visit to Starbucks each morning, but forget the cappuccino. It's just black coffee for you!
In fact, the last time there was any significant agitation on Capitol Hill about the Fed being too tight was in the early 1990s. Back then, that same quarter million dollar nest egg would have earned about $12,000 per year, not $1,000 as it present, or a whole lot of Starbucks and other living expenses, too.
Stated differently, in their madcap pursuit of monetary "ease" our unelected financial suzerains at the Fed have implemented the most sweeping income transfer in history. By chopping upwards of 300 basis points off the historic after-tax and after-inflation return on liquid savings, the Fed annually pilfers $250 billion from the nation's $8 trillion of depositors and savers.
Needless to say, the money extracted from the hides of savers ends up in the income statements of the US banking system. There it gets booked as retained earnings and proffered as evidence that the Fed has put bank balance sheets back into the pink of health; or with increasing frequency it is allocated to dividends and buybacks, thereby fueling the Fed's so-called "wealth effects" levitation of the financial markets, and the net worth at the very top of the wealth and income ladder.
But however these extractions from the nation's savers are channeled, they amount to nothing less than a giant fiscal policy maneuver; and one so repugnant to any sense of fairness and private property rights that it would otherwise have been laughed out of any standing committee on either side of the Capitol. So there is an easy money problem all right, but it originates in the Keynesian groupthink resident in the Eccles Building, not populist legislators attempting to one-up William Jennings Bryan or Wright Patman.
Come to think of it, we have actually not had a single Federal funds rate increase in 9 years. Not even once, not even 25 basis points. In fact, during the 121 meetings the Fed has held during this century it has either cut interest rates or held them constant 100 times.
But do not attribute that chronic, massive bias toward "ease" to untoward pressures from Capitol Hill. That outcome is the product of doctrine, not politics. It flows from utterly misguided and self-serving ideology of a handful of central bankers and their amen chorus on Wall Street that claims economic growth, jobs and improving living standards can be delivered by hitting the send button on the Fed's printing press.
Back in the day, there was always a corporal's guard of populists on Capitol Hill who pilloried the Fed for being too "tight". Even the redoubtable Republican Senate Leader, Howard Baker, once braced Paul Volcker with a demand to "get your foot off the necks" of American business. But that was long ago, and by the end of the century not a peep emanated from Capitol Hill on the subject of tight money.
Nevertheless, it was actually after Congress went radio silent on the matter of monetary policy that the Fed's balance sheet exploded. Indeed, during the first 86 years of its existence, the Fed's balance sheet resembled the fabled Ohio State offense. About $5 billion and a cloud of dust—–year after year for decades running.
So by the year 2000, it had printed from thin air enough money to buy $500 billion of assets. By contrast, during the 13 weeks after the Lehman event, Bernanke printed $1.3 trillion—-and that was not owing to any Congressional mandate or gun to his head.
Indeed, it was Bernanke and his Wall Street sidekick, Hank Paulson, who went up to Capitol Hill and put a gun to their heads. It was these demagogues who scared the "politicians" witless with a phony alarm that Great Depression 2.0 was just around the corner unless the Fed opened the monetary spigots, and Congress added $700 billion of TARP on top.
In all, the Fed's balance sheet has expanded by 9X since the time at the eve of the dotcom bust when the last disciple of Wright Patman was carried out of the House chambers. So you have to think there must be something else behind all this sudden gumming from the Eccles Building about preserving the Fed's "independence".
Actually, there is. What our monetary politburo is really worried about is that Rand Paul is on to something that is fundamentally threatening to their very regime. Namely, that ZIRP has crushed savers and rewarded Wall Street gamblers with free money to harvest the stupendous riches obtained from their carry trades; and that QE has been a bonanza for the fast money traders who front run the Fed but has done virtually nothing for the main street economy.
And here's their even bigger fear. When this current massive financial bubble comes crashing down for the third time this century—-and that may happen any time soon—the torches and pitchforks are sure to come out.
At length, there will be legislation, but not merely an audit. In the fullness of time it will become evident that the problem is, in fact, undue influence and "capture". That is, capture by Wall Street and the subordination of monetary policy to the palpable fear in the Eccles Building of a hissy fit in the casino.
And that goes to the heart of the matter. Congress not only needs to audit the Fed; it should shackle it entirely by abolishing the FOMC and eliminating its discretion to peg interest rates, expand its balance sheet and intervene proactively in the financial markets.
Stated differently, there is no need to replace the 12-member FOMC cum monetary politburo with a gaggle of 535 legislators on Capitol Hill. We have something called the free market, and that is the place where the right money market rate should be set by the interaction of users and suppliers of cash; where the yield curve should find its appropriate shape based on the interaction of savers and borrowers and the continuous flow of new information about the real world; and where honest capital markets can perform god's work of allocating debt and equity at prices which are diligently "discovered" by at-risk investors and issuers.
At the end of the day, American capitalism does not need recycled political hacks like Jerome H. Powell or clueless school marms like Janet Yellen to thrive. If we need a Fed at all, it is the one designed by Carter Glass 100 years ago. That is, a "bankers bank" that was intended to provide standby liquidity at a penalty spread above the free market interest rate in consideration for good collateral originating from inventory and receivables in the real economy.
Under that arrangement, there would be no monetary central planning or pointless attempts to manage the level of GDP, the number of new jobs, the rate of housing starts, the fluctuations of the CPI or the amplitudes of the business cycle. There would also be no pegging of the money market rate, no helping hand for Wall Street gamblers, no cheap debt to enable profligate politicians to kick-the-can down the road indefinitely.
In short, what the nation really needs is not an "independent" Fed, but one that is shackled to a narrow and market-driven liquidity function. The rest of its current remit is nothing more than the self-serving aggrandizement of the apparatchiks who run it; and who have now managed to turn the nation's vital money and capital markets into dangerous, unstable casinos, and the nations savers into indentured servants of a bloated and wasteful banking system.
Yes, the monetary politburo has every reason to fear Rand Paul's demand for a "policy audit" of the Fed. An honest one would show that its so-called "independence" has been monumentally abused in a manner which is deeply threatening to both political democracy and capitalist prosperity.
Needless to say, we can't have that audit soon enough.
Sweden Central Joins The NIRP Club: Lowers Interest Rate To -0.1%, Launches QE
It's a NIRP world and you are either in it, or are determined to lose the currency wars. And hours ago, the world's oldest central bank, that of Sweden, announced that it too would join its NIRP peers in an attempt to preserve its currency's fighting power in the global currency wars which make a mockery of what is going on in Ukraine, by lowering the benchmark interest rate to -0.1%, but also launch QE by buying SEK 10 billion of government bonds, thereby making sure that the stock of available debt in private hands is even lower and that central banks monetize even more than merely "all" of all net issuance in 2015.
While it is unclear if NIRP is the missing link that will fix all that ails the deflating Swedish economy, one thing is clear: the Riskbank has just given the all clear to BTFATH:
Stealth Greek Bank Run Continues: ECB Hikes Emergency Lending To EUR 65 Billion
t would appear the un-sourced rumors of Greek banks having used up their Emergency line of credit with the ECB are true. Following a hastily put together conference calls this morning:
Up from the previous EUR59.5 Billion. It appears the stealth bank run in Greece is showing no signs of slowing.
As Reuters repiorted yesterday,
The ECB moved Greek banks onto ELA last week after it ended a waiver on the quality of the nation's debt it acceptsas collateral amid doubts that the newly elected government will conclude its aid program.
Greek banks have almost exhausted the 59.5 billion euros granted by the ECB, Skai Television reported yesterday, without saying how it got the information.
And so today, as Bloomberg reports,
The ECB's Governing Council held a phone conference Thursday to raise the allowance for the Greek central bank to provide Emergency Liquidity Assistance by 5 billion euros, FAZ reports, without saying where it got the information.
t would have simply been too much to handle for Europe and the risk off algos if hours after the embarrassing failure of the emergency Eurogroup meeting in Brussels failed to reach any deal involving Greece, the Ukraine ceasefire negotiations in Minsk were also to fall apart. Again. Which is probably why after a marathon session lasting 17 hours, and following repeated trial balloons that a deal had and/or had not been reached, a short while ago all major media outlets were delighted to finally blast some Risk On news namely that leaders of France and Germany brokered a renewed deal to end Ukraine's 10-month civil war in the separatist eastern region, which means that we have a Minsk-signed Ukraine ceasefire. Again.
Ukraine Ceasefire Deal Agreed After Negotiations All-Nighter; Doubts Remain About Its Implementation
Alas, with Ukraine having no gold left, the probability of the IMF staying to implement a long-term structural reform in the country is slim to none which means hyperinflation is almost certainly inevitable, but while Ukraine may or may not have reached a (temporary) ceasefire, it will at least have the cash to pay for its external obligations. Mostly to Russia.
Finally, as a reminder, this is the second time Ukraine peace has been signed on paper in Minsk, only for hopes to crash and burn in the days that followed. Many are skeptical this time will not be different, most certainly if headlines such as the following continue to appear in the coming hours and days, until the actual ceasefire is implemented on Sunday.

After Syndil stopped breathing and turned blue, we saw her pediatrician. He agreed with the ER doctors. Probably her reflux. Which confused me. How could heartburn kill a baby?
He explained that babies have a reflex, and when acid washes into their throats, their vocal cords slam shut. That way they don't aspirate acid into their lungs. Sometimes it subsides in time, and they start breathing again on their own. Sometimes you need to jiggle them a little, to get things started again. And sometimes they die.
So now we have her on Zantac. Its an antacid, so even though she spits up just as much (more than ever, really), it isn't acidic, so it shouldn't cause a "blue spell."
She has been fine ever since. Great, really. Happy and healthy and growing way too fast.
I, on the other have, have never had so much anxiety in my life. If your baby can stop breathing in your arms, when will she ever be safe?
For a while I could do nothing but stare at her. What if I put her down in her bouncer, and walked away for 5 minutes? When I came back, it could be 2 minutes too late.
I wasn't sleeping. Even with her Angelcare monitor.
I just couldn't trust her to keep breathing.
My good friend McCall came over to hold her for a few hours one day, just so I could sleep. It was the first time I had slept for more than a 20 minute stretch in a long time.
Slowly, after days and days, I started to relax. I got a cosleeper, so I could sleep with my hand on her chest. I started showering while she sat cooing in her bouncer or swing. Fastest showers of my life, and sometimes I didn't get all the shampoo washed off before I jumped out and ran to check. But still, progress.
And then I got a Snuza.
This little thing clips onto her diaper, and alarms if it doesn't feel movement for more than 20 seconds.
And I felt a million times better.
(that orange thing on her chubby belly is the Snuza)
I still have anxiety attacks. There are nights when I can't put her down because I KNOW that she is going to die. I know that it is her last night with me, and she won't be here in the morning. And it hurts so bad, because I love her so much. I wake Kurt up with my sobbing, and he holds me while I explain that this is definitely my anxiety, but what if it isn't? And then I stare at her for hours, just praying that she will live.
This is happening less and less. And little by little I'm starting to trust her again.
I still can't leave her with her daddy for more than an hour before I start crying. I know they are having fun, and she is ok. I'm just not. Baby steps for momma.
This little girl will be wearing her Snuza for the rest is her life.
Or maybe just until her first birthday.
(But probably until she leaves for college.)
So that's it. I am ok. We are ok.
Most of the time.

Max Miller
Max Miller is a savage…simple as that! Miller makes a lot of noise on the race track, blitzing sections and sticking a wheel in on the competition any time he gets a chance. As usual, Miller entered a lot of classes at the 2015 Thor Winter Olympics. Miller made the Mini O's his own, stealing eight moto wins and four overall championships. Max put the #604 machine in the front of the pack in the 85 (12-13) and Mini Sr. classes on several different occasions and proved to be one of the faster 85cc riders on the scene right now. Earning titles and wins in both Supercross and Motocross, it's apparent that Miller is going to be a problem as he continues to get older. With great speed and versatility, Max's performances on the race track in recent months are slowly but surely making him a household name in the moto world! Keep your eyes peeled for the Springfield, Oregon representative in 2016…big things are on the horizon!
Moto 2
Mini Sr (12-15)
Max Miller stole the show taking the lead once the gate dropped for the Mini Sr (12-15) class. Miller pushed the #604 machine to it's limits, keeping his nearest competitors distant for the majority of the main event. Miller has been amazing on the Supercross track, waiting for the perfect chance to stick it all together. Max was faced with an intense battle as the white flag waved, even losing the lead for a about half of the lap. Never giving up, Max Miller remained persistent and was able to secure the lead just before crossing the finish line earning himself the Mini Sr (12-15) national championship.
Moto 1
85 (12-13) Limited Division 2
Max Miller has been absolutely shredding this week! Miller has been burning the wheels off of the #604 machine this week showing the 85 (12-13) class no mercy what so ever, especially in during today's Division 2 battle. Max looked strong all moto long, never losing his stylish perfect form as he hung it out to take the opening moto win. His performances when the pressure is on have solidified his spot as one of the front runners of the stacked 85cc class.
Moto 1
Mini Sr. (12-15) Division 1
The #604 KTM ride of Max Miller has been flying lately. The Motorsport backed racer appears to be a top the elite of the class right now, mixing it up with the best of the best on a regular basis and coming out on top time and time again. Miller was scary fast as the Mini Sr. (12-15) class took to the track for battle, aggressively slinging the SX85 around the track preparing for the next day's final motos. If Max can come out and repeat his riding today, the championship could very well be his!
Moto 1
85 (12-13) Division 2
In 85 (12-13) action, Max Miller was on a mission, Refusing to lose, Miller was pushing the track and pushing it hard, nearly blowing over a few corners on his way to the front of the pack. Miller had it held wide open, working around Jack Rogers and stealing the Division 2 victory. Miller never let up once he made it to the front, fending off a pretty valiant effort from fellow KTM rider Pierce Brown. Miller has been on rails and if he can get near the front again in the second moto run off then expect the #604 to put up a good fight for the win.
Moto 2
Mini Sr. (12-15) Limited
Max Miller and the #604 KTM ride were impressive all week long, during both Supercross and motocross. After taking second place in the first moto, Max was hungry for the win in the second. Miller went out on a mission and got just that, the Mini Sr. (12-15) Limited moto win and overall victory. Max's 2-1 moto scores were just enough to stick him on the top of the podium with first overall for the week.
Moto 2
Mini Sr. (12-15)
Max Miller is slowly but surely chalking his name up on the list of top Mini riders adding Mini Sr. (12-15) national AMA champion to his resume. Miller was fierce in the Mini Sr final, edging out a pack of blazing fast and angry 85 riders. Miller's action on the track got the #604 burned into the minds of everyone as he lit the track on fire moto after moto. Expect big things from Max when things heat back up this spring and the nationals are back underway.
Moto 2
85 (12-13)
Max Miller is a savage…just as his pit board read on the last lap of the 85 (12-13) class. As if Max's riding on the track wasn't crazy enough, he managed to steal a kiss from Miss Mini O's to make the whole deal a little bit sweeter. Miller is full of personality both on and off the bike and this kid is definitely going somewhere in 2016 and beyond. After the ruckus he has caused this year at tracks nationwide you can bet on the #604 ride to keep it up as soon as gates begin to drop this spring.

So a certain Wall Street trader released a bogus report Tuesday afternoon claiming Apple shareholders were prepared to approve a stock split at Wednesday's meeting. As you might expect, it never happened, it wasn't going to happen. But the stock price soared for a bit, which likely gave the trader in question a decent profit, but it's not likely he'll face any consequences for pulling that stunt.
In any case, not much of significance actually occurred at the shareholder's meeting. With a certain measure off the table after last week's court action, the rest of the proceedings were predictably boring for anyone who doesn't own Apple's stock.
And so, perhaps because nothing changed, Apple's stock price drifted somewhat lower during Wednesday's trading day, even though the market, overall, soared over positive economic news.
Not much of note came out of the question and answer session with CEO Tim Cook either. He said he realized shareholders were disappointed over the stock price, but said that they should look at the long term first, and revenue and profits next. All right, nothing surprising there. He also said that Apple was working on "new categories" of products, but, as usual, that was as far as the statement went. Whether Apple means a smart TV set, or a smartwatch, or both or neither, can only be guessed.
In response to a question about Apple placing second best compared to Android in market share, Cook replied that "success is not making the most." And certainly, with 69% of handset industry profits last year, he has a point in making that argument. Unfortunately, far too many members of the media, who should know better, keep demanding that Apple enter this or that product space, or add new iPhone or iPad models to better compete with all the varieties the competition offers. Somehow these so-called journalists don't realize that having too many models may actually dilute the prospects for success. It certainly confuses customers, who wonder which of twelve dozen similar and not-so-similar models should be considered. If you want an iPhone, choose among three, pick the storage you want, select the carrier, buy and enjoy.
The only other announcement of note was that Apple's plans to move to the new spaceship-style campus was delayed slightly until some time in 2016, and that the company is "seriously considering" returning more cash to shareholders.
Otherwise, the situation on the Apple front is surprisingly quiet so far this year, although the media has been polluted with stories about whether or not the company is in deep trouble and suffering badly compared to Samsung in the mobile platform business. Aside from that slight MacBook Pro refresh on February 13, which surprisingly merited a press release, there's no indication when Apple will deliver the big product introductions.
Will there, for example, be another set of iPad upgrades this spring, or, having taken care of business last October, will Apple wait until the fall to deliver the next round of upgrades? Will there soon be an iPad mini with Retina display, or are the prices of LCD panels and accompanying components still too high? What about the next iPhone? Will there be a cheaper version? Will Apple wait until September once again, or will it happen by summer? If the latter, you'd expect iOS 7 to be introduced in the next few weeks, ahead of the developer's conference. The same ought to be true for the next revision of OS X, assuming Apple will continue to follow an annual release schedule.
When it comes to hardware, you have to wonder whether Apple hopes to soon install a Retina display in the MacBook Air, or will there be a separate, costlier lineup with that enhancement? It all depends on how quickly Apple can bring down the cost of raw materials, which means you shouldn't expect an iMac with Retina display for a while. Indeed, since that model has already had a major upgrade, any changes this year would likely be confined to the usual performance refreshes.
When it comes to the Mac Pro workstation, I'll accept Tim Cook's statement last year, in a letter to a Mac user, that there will be an upgrade this year. What form it'll take is still open to argument, but I'd think that Apple will use the time to streamline the design, making it not just smaller but a whole lot lighter. I expect Apple could incorporate the very same expansion capabilities in a box half the size, and half the weight. Maybe it would have to be thin and long, or square overall, but such a configuration ought to work. The Mac Pro is largely based on an aging form factor, the tower, which has been used in the PC business for ages, and it's time for something better.
And, no, I do not expect Apple to ditch the optical drive on a Mac Pro, although it may be an option on the next model. Yes, I understand that Apple wants to wean us from optical drives, but there have to be limits, and I expect Apple will demonstrate a common sense approach with this model.

Ypsilanti Restaurant Hosts MILegalize Fundraiser October 25
The Sidetrack Bar and Grill will feature a fundraiser for the effort to legalize marijuana for adult use in Michigan on Sunday, October 25.
The event is the latest in a series of fundraisers designed to take advantage of a matching funds offer during the month of October. Events in Detroit on the 28, Grand Rapids on the 29th and Ann Arbor on the 24th- and a special dinner held at the private Flint Golf Club on the 16th- are building funds for the MILegalize petition campaign's final push to achieve their goal of gathering 253,000 valid signatures.
MIlegalize has employed a volunteer army and is "on track" to complete the goal, according to MILegalize Board member Jamie Lowell. Each signature submitted through the campaign has to be checked against previous signatures, must be verified through a state voter registry database and is recorded to avoid duplication. Each of these steps is crucial to the accuracy of the campaign, and each costs money, Lowell points out.
The competing ballot petition proposal, the MCC, whose big government approach to legalization of marijuana was poorly received by media and the public, seems to have abandoned their signature campaign without much fanfare.
The event asks attendees for a donation to MILegalize but does not set a minimum and there is no cover charge. Donations made by personal check are the easiest for the campaign to accept.
The Sidetrack is located at 56 E Cross Street in Ypsilanti. The event begins at 6:30. Contact Jamie Lowell for information on the event; per the event flyer he can be reached at 734 276-6318.

Discover the Real Reason Most Australians Are Retiring Poor. (Hint: It Has Nothing to Do With Your Salary!)
In fact, we believe most Australians could retire with passive income from investment properties if they make just 1 important tweak to their approach.
Nearly every person I've ever spoken to has the same dream in life:
To make money passively, enjoy more free time with their families, and live every day exactly how they want, with no boss telling them what to do.
With investment properties, I've been fortunate enough to enjoy that exact lifestyle.
And I believe that every hard-working Australian can do the same thing. More importantly, you deserve it.
Here's the thing:
You don't need to make a lot of money from your day job.
In fact, in my lifetime, I never earned more than $80,000 a year from my 9-to-5.
That hasn't stopped me from building a massive investment property portfolio of up to 30 different properties at one time.
And today, I'm going to tell you exactly how I did it.
But first…
Let me tell you why I struggled for so long, just like you.
You see, investing in property and enjoying financial freedom is actually quite simple.
It's not rocket science. Anyone with the right strategies and good bit of patience can achieve the same incredible results that I've enjoyed.
So why are so many Australians retiring poor?
I was shocked to find out that more than 1 in 3 Australians will retire in poverty.
I was also haunted by the idea that 23% of Australians plan to continue working after their 70th birthday.
I can't imagine being a 70-year-old woman stuck in the labor force, but that's exactly the dreadful fate that many Australians have come to accept.
Fortunately, you don't have to live with that kind of "retirement."
More importantly, building a successful investment property portfolio is probably a lot easier and simpler than you think.
You see, the real reason Australians are retiring poor isn't that they need better-paying jobs. After all, I had a pretty average salary myself.
Instead, Australians are retiring poor because they don't realise how simple it is to build a successful portfolio of investment properties. They're waiting for a big promotion or a big raise instead of using the resources they already have to create a luxurious retirement.
Here's what I did differently:
1. I learned from mentors who had the tools I needed to be successful.
2. I followed a disciplined strategy to build a million-dollar portfolio of investment properties.
3. I leveraged the money and resources I already had instead of waiting for a big raise. I took action.
If you do exactly what I've done, I have no doubt that you can achieve these goals!
Learn How the Tools and Tricks of a Successful Investment Property Mentor Can Transform Your Future and Your Retirement, Even If You Have a Low-Paying Job.
You don't have to start off with a ton of money to end up with a luxurious retirement.
In fact, more than 2 out of 3 Australian billionaires are self-made. Contrary to popular belief, you don't have to be born rich to retire rich.
All you need is the right strategies and a few resources to get started!
Best of all, you're probably in a great spot to get started, even if you're worried that you don't "fit the bill."
You Can Get the Tools and Tricks You Need Now, Even If You Don't Have a Ton of Money… Even If You Think You're Too Old!
You're never too old to start living a financially smarter life.
And we have tools, tricks, and unique training programs that will help you no matter what position you're in.
When I first started investing in property, I had a mountain of credit card debt.
Since then, I've built an investment property portfolio worth millions of dollars.
I'm living proof that just about anyone can transform their lives with the right property investment techniques, and my students all agree.

The winner of this award is the Fairy Trail at the Woodland Experience in Balfron. It was such good fun we went there twice and I am already planning on going back again when they re-open next Spring. There are LOTS of fairy doors to find, a wishing chair, worry tree and LOTS more.
|Fairy Trail Fun
This was a hard choice and we have reviewed lots of amazing things this year. My pick is not cheap but it's worth the money as it's such great quality, very practical and we will use it for years. It's the Twigz wheelbarrow! It's so sturdy that it makes wheeling Tilda about super easy!
|The Twigz wheelbarrow is great quality
We LOVE a craft project at Vialii Towers so we had plenty to consider for this award. My choice is this super cute glittery acorn.
|Glittery acorns - gorgeous!
Top Tip of the Year
We are always looking for cheap and easy ways to have fun outdoors. We had lots of fun playing noughts and crosses with some twigs and pebbles on an old tree stump.Free fun is the best!
|Free fun!

Happy New Year from me, Tilda and all at Vialii.

Four years on: Modi lays down building blocks for growth in India
Four years on: Modi lays down building blocks for growth in India
Four years after Narendra Modi became Prime Minister of India, there are good reasons to be optimistic about his reform programme and the impact it may have on economic growth in the medium term. We have identified six key areas of significant positive change.
An important theme within Asia is the progress of reform in India. Under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India has the best reform momentum amongst the Asian countries we invest in. Several structural reforms have already been undertaken: the implementation of the Goods & Services Tax (GST) is progressing well, the high-value currency demonetization is shrinking the black market, the approval of the Insolvency & Bankruptcy Code has been a significant step towards cleaning up bank's balance sheets, the state-owned banks' recapitalization should enable the stronger banks to grow their loan books more aggressively, the affordable housing buildout is likely to help revive growth and, finally, the digital transformation is reducing costs and increasing efficiency. Ultimately, investors have remained confident that Modi's reforms will increase the economy's potential growth rate and therefore support higher corporate earnings in the longer term. We concur with this view. But if these reforms do not actually produce improved growth in 2018, then investors may start to question whether the valuation premium attached to Indian companies is deserved.

Why Focus on Advance Care Planning?
A better health care system would help patients make the hard decisions early and ensure their wishes are fulfilled.
Advance Care Planning (ACP) allows individuals to share and document their wishes surrounding serious illness, incapacitation, and end of life. One of the most prevalent misconceptions is that ACP is only necessary for those with a life limiting condition. ACP is available to everyone, regardless of their condition.
Today, many individuals with advanced illness receive care that is fragmented, uncoordinated, or inadequate to meet their growing needs and personal wishes. Ensuring that care plans align with patient needs and wishes is the purpose of ACP.
CIVHC convenes a monthly Workgroup designed to help providers, clinicians, social workers, and others to increase awareness of ACP and share best practices across sectors.
Involvement in the ACP Workgroup includes:
- Sharing community and organizational ACP work that highlights project experiences, lessons learned, and potential opportunities for best practice replication across the state.
- Identifying and engaging key stakeholders and organizations not currently active in ACP, disseminating shared objectives and enabling education.
- Partnering with the Reimbursement and Policy Workgroup and the Provider Training and Skill Building Workgroup to optimize the goals of each.
CIVHC's ACP Workgroup meets bi-monthly from 2:30-4 pm. Contact Kari Degerness at email@example.com for more information.

Far-Left Daily Kos Founder Says a "Public Option" is their "Waterloo" - Video 9/8/09
Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy
Here is video of far-left Daily Kos founder Markos Moulitsas on The Ed Schultz Show saying the "Public Option" is the "Waterloo" for them.
Ed Schultz seems totally put out with Obama, as does Markos Moulitsas. Kos admits that what they really want is a "Single-Payer system" - which is code for a Total Government take over of Health Care. So, he says, they have "already compromised," and at least a "Public Option" is a must for them.

Hi All,
I have a build an application which uses file names from a directory.
to get these file names I used the following code from MSDN.
FILE * fp;
String *extension;
// Create a reference to the current directory.
DirectoryInfo* di = new DirectoryInfo("C:\Sachin");
// Create an array representing the files in the current directory.
FileInfo* fi[] = di->GetFiles();
//Console::WriteLine(S"The following files exist in the current directory:");
// write the names of the files in the current directory.
Collections::IEnumerator* myEnum = fi->GetEnumerator();
fp = fopen("nest.lst","w+");
while (myEnum->MoveNext())
FileInfo* fiTemp = __try_cast<FileInfo*>(myEnum->Current);
extension = Path::GetExtension(fiTemp->Name);
this code works using
#using <mscorlib.dll> with /clr option.
but i fail to run this application on another machine that doesnt have visual studio installed. As i dont how to specify this dll at run time.
thanks in advance for any help

Media Contact: Mark E. Brady, Chief Spokesperson, 240-508-7930
A video of the ceremony can be seen here.
Fire Chief Bashoor's comments included the following; One of the time honored traditions of the Fire Service is called a "housing" or dedication of new fire trucks. This tradition began over 100 years ago - providing a seamless transition between old and new. Today we move to dedicate the first of a historic investment for the Prince George's County Fire/EMS Department.
Thanks to the County Executive and County Council, for the first time in PGFD's history, we have been blessed with 3 budget cycles of significant apparatus investment. When we have finished the 3rd cycle this coming fiscal year, we will have added at least 20 ambulances, 11 engines, 5 ladder trucks, 1 rescue squad, 20 command vehicles, and additional specialty vehicles each year.
Additionally, the apparatus maintenance replacement plan we submitted has been accepted, which sets the course for a programmed strategic replacement of our fleet with annual investments, and potential contractual buy-back provisions with industry partners.
In addition to all of the up to date safety and technological advancements, we have included a tech-savvy QR code label on each piece of apparatus - allowing citizens to have quick access to our web-connectivity, using readily available smart phone scanning software. When fully functional, citizens will be able to scan the QR code and provide tips or feedback, on-the-spot of an incident scene.
All of the pumpers incorporate security and temperature controls to provide safe and secure access for paramedic supplies. The hose beds are some of the lowest height available in the industry, minimizing injuries to our members pulling hose lines on fire scenes. The 750 gallons of water on each pumper provides more water than our past fleet, in the event of water supply or hydrant problems – which also helps us work towards improvement in our Insurance Service Organization (ISO) rating.
The ladder trucks provide 105' of climbing height, with technological stabilization controls allowing us to affect operations at as much as 7 degrees below grade. Both trucks have pre-piped waterways, allowing for safe, instant pressurization of an elevated water stream. As a pilot test, one of the ladder trucks has a small water tank and pump, allowing that truck to potentially pump and supply itself at operations near hydrants where elevated water streams are needed. We'll be evaluating the effectiveness of that as we make additional purchases.
Those familiar with PGFD, also recognize that we are returning to some of the core historical roots of the fire service, with a change in apparatus color, from white to red. Functionally, fires go out, no matter what the color of the fire engine. Strategically, research has shown our future potential buyback is maximized with red apparatus over that of white. As soon as the first fleet of ambulances arrive – they too will be red, with a very distinctively visible marking pattern.
And lastly - while our firefighters and paramedics will drive these rigs, it is important to recognize, that these engines, trucks, and other vehicles belong to the people of Prince Georges County. As both your Fire Chief and a county resident, I am proud to accept these units on behalf of all of Prince Georges County. Not only will our customers be safer because of this investment, but our firefighters and paramedics will have the safest most up to date equipment available. Whether they're driving or parked on the scene of an incident, the conspicuous DOT striping and lighting provide the highest levels of visibility, of any equipment we have ever had.
Fire Chief to Communications:
"Place paramedic-engines 830, 841, 842, 844, and 846; trucks 812 and 832; brush 831, technical rescue 806, fire investigations unit 815, cart 858, Battalion Chiefs buggies 881 thru 887, and Safety Officer and EMS Supervisor buggies available for service."
Fire Chief "Ladies and Gentlemen – START YOUR ENGINES!
Fire photographers, fire buffs and media were invited to the event and the event was well documented. I had positioned photographers in a bucket truck, a helicopter and on the ground. With so many photographers taking pictures of the apparatus, I decided to take pictures of people taking pictures. All photos by Mark E. Brady, PGFD PIO.
