Debt Swaps and Quota Reforms
In order to have a full and broad understanding of the information we have been discussing in this series, we will need to understand something called Sovereign Debt Restructuring Mechanism (SDRM).
"The objective of an SDRM is to facilitate the orderly, predictable, and rapid restructuring of unsustainable sovereign debt, while protecting asset values and creditors' rights. If appropriately designed and implemented, such a mechanism could help to reduce the costs of a restructuring for sovereign debtors and their creditors, and contribute to the efficiency of international capital markets more generally."
The above quote is taken from a 2002 publication by the International Monetary Fund titled "A New Approach to Sovereign Debt Restructuring".
When previous attempts at sovereign debt restructuring have taken place it was quickly realized that the public sector funds which were allocated for the sovereign debt restructuring did not stay in the country and in fact became something akin to a transfer of wealth. We have covered this in previous posts with the explanations about rent seeking elites and the importance of putting self-limiting legislation in place to prevent the transfer of wealth from the large disorganized masses to the small organized rent seeking elite. See What Are Conspiracy Theories?.
As the International Monetary Fund plans and implements a new and improved SDRM, the sovereign debt crisis in the world gets worse by the day.
It's interesting that the media will do anything to avoid mentioning or admitting that the US has a sovereign debt issue. Maybe that's because the US dollar is the reserve currency of the world and the debt itself, as well as associated inflation, can be exported around the world. With QE the US began to monetize its own debt.
When the IMF 2010 Code of Reforms eventually get passed and the inevitable debt restructuring begins, the US will have no choice but to go along and allow its currency to be downgraded and its debt restructured.
This is where the concept of debt swaps come in. Debt and/or equity swaps are when a debt holder, being China holding US debt, can get an equity position in exchange for a cancellation of the debt. When we think of the low price which China paid for the JP Morgan building, can we safely assume that this was a part of a larger debt/equity swap agreement?
There is also another form of debt swap agreement which entails an exchange of debt holdings for new bonds which have been restructured from the original bond debt. These types of bond debt swap agreements are meant to take advantage of interest rate differences and conclusively, currency exchange rate difference.
In a previous post we discussed the importance of arbitrage and purchasing power parity. As a lesson from the original attempts at SDRM, purchasing power parity will be an important and functioning aspect of any debt swap agreement, as arbitrage was the main culprit of why the SDRM failed.
It's within this larger bond debt swap arrangement where I see sovereign debt being restructured through an SDR (Special Drawing Right) system.
Say China exchanges so much of their US debt (in the form of treasury bonds) for equity in the Federal Reserve System itself, controlling a proportionate amount of internal equity within the American system. This would explain the JP Morgan purchase and other bank purchases, along with industry and real estate which China has been gobbling up within the United States.
The rest of the treasury bonds which China holds as US debt will be allocated as a bond debt swap within the SDR system. This debt swap will allow China to retain its investment value of US debt while receiving new SDR bonds which can then be allocated within its new renminbi composition at a new exchange rate which more realistically reflects the economic sustainability of its currency. This bond debt swap can be completed through a substitution account as stated in previous posts. This substitution account will be denominated in SDR's.
Many rumors have come out over the last few years about an impending Global Currency Reset. It is stated that countries hold large foreign reserves of specific currencies, or the sovereign debt of other countries, within their foreign currency accounts. As do banks. When these currencies revalue upward, the money creation will be injected into the world economy and help alleviate some of the pressure of the sovereign debts.
In essence this premise is correct. The SDRM will take into account the M1 money supply of not only the US dollar, but other currencies of the world as well. Through this process of debt bond swap or restructuring, we will witness something not unlike a Global Currency Reset, though the mechanics of it will be challenging to understand.
As the world financial system makes its transition to the multilateral system as defined by the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, the Bank for International Settlements, and all the countries of the world, represented by the G20, no old sovereign debts can be carried over to the new paradigm. This means the bonds of all countries, including select historical bonds which were issued in such volume and value that their omittance in the new system would create large imbalances in each respective countries SDR composition.
A reader sent the following link which explains in more detail the IMF 2010 Code of Reforms and how the Executive Board would be redesigned with the US retaining its veto power over votes. This document is a perfect example of the convoluted processes and procedures involved in understanding the transition to the new multilateral financial system.
At first the US retaining its veto power on the Executive Board of the IMF seems like a contradiction to what is meant as reforms. It's important to recognize that the US needs to approve the reforms of the Executive Board because the 85% vote required can only be met if the US votes for it. But once the reforms to the Executive Board are accepted, the emerging markets will have equal say over the quota reforms, which only require 70% of the vote.
Major policy changes to the Executive Board will still require the 85% vote which the US will have veto power over. But in essence, it's a wet paper veto as most of the multilateral financial system processes and procedures will be completed through the use and continued reforms of the IMF quotas.
We will get into the quotas themselves in a future post, but they are directly related to the transition to an SDR bond debt swap system.
For the US, the quota reforms are of vital importance because it will allow for the increase of quota injections from the emerging markets, including China, which as we discussed above, will be instrumental in restructuring the sovereign debt of the United States.
We have touched on so many aspects of this new multilateral system in our series titled SDR's and the New Bretton Woods. Many of these components have been connected within the overall picture in this post itself. If any are finding it difficult to understand, I would suggest rereading the main instalments of the series. As hard as it may be to understand, it is even harder to write about it for the purpose of creating clarity. It hurts my head and I'm sure there will be mistakes or misinterpretations in how I both understand and explain certain aspects.
Before closing this essay, I'd like to remind everyone of the Hegelian Dialectic component in the overall picture. In previous posts we have explained how this process of problem/reaction/solution will be used to drive the sovereign debt and currency crisis around the world to extreme levels. We will see revolutions, like in the Ukraine and elsewhere, and debt defaults and threats of defaults, which will stir the solution offered up by the International Monetary Fund, Bank for International Settlements, World Bank, G20, and other NGO organizations.
As revealed in The Great Work of the Ages, an alchemical process is taking place on the world stage. From the ashes of the old fiat currencies will rise the phoenix, by way of SDR's as the new world currency. It is obvious when deciphered from the documentation of the rent seeking elite themselves. What we can only hope for is that the components of the new system which are intended to self-limit the wealth transfer activities of the elite will remain in place long enough for the system to transition once again before it corrupts back into itself. Everything in this world is a corruption of the one true process. – JC

Adik-adik sekalian. Today, Uncle Michael would like to teach you this useful phrase – 'Non-debatable point'.
Now… what is a 'non-debatable point'? A 'non-debatable point' is an argument or opinion that you have (in a discussion, argument or debate), that is hands down gonna win everything there is in the discussion/argument/debate. It's non-debatable. Anyone who attempts to debate about it (the 'non-debatable point') will look/sound downright stupid(der) than he/she already is for being in the discussion in the first place.
Do note that a 'non-debatable point' doesn't have to be a truth, it can be a lie. It's just so fucking awesome that it's non-debatable.
Let me quote you an example of a 'non-debatable point' with a truth – this is a true story that happened at my workplace:
A few managers called for a meeting to sync up with some rules that they didn't like getting violated by the engineers. One of the concerns raised, was this habit of keeping ICs (integrated circuits) in personal office drawers. That is not allowed according to rule book number XXVII Chapter Twelve point Seven. The correct way to store those ICs is – in a special storage cabinet (that looked – oddly – like a niche for a dead person's cremated remains). Now the problem is, there isn't any special storage cabinet provided to the engineers, i.e. the engineers would have no such option of storing the ICs into the said special storage cabinet. If this were to be expressed actively by a person, it would sound like this "How the fuck do I store my ICs into a special storage cabinet if I don't have one?? Are you fucking stupid or something??". So, basically those managers are talking about doing something with a non-existent object, and this sorta made the whole discussion a non-value added event. So the appropriate respond to this would be to repeat this – "Hello guys, there isn't a special storage cabinet provided to us" – for every sentence spoken about the topic. It will be automatically understood as a non-debatable point.
Example of a 'non-debatable point' with a lie – Your pregnant wife asking you to buy a pack of spicy noodles in the middle of the night else she'll starve to death. It's obviously a lie, because she ain't gonna die over a pack of noodles. But that's a 'non-debatable point' because you are in no position to argue that point. The outrageous lie is said to illustrate how dire the consequences would be if she doesn't get what she wants. You can bitch about it, but you still need to buy her a pack of fucking noodles. It's a 'non-debatable point'.
Learn how to spot it, and use it to your advantage, adik-adik.

Today's post is a bit of a departure from my regular posts. I'm writing this post to bring awareness of the devastation that can occur as the result of distracted driving. Most of us, myself included, are guilty of distracted driving at one time or another. We often become complacent and are so busy multitasking these days, constantly reaching for our smartphones, or maybe we are distracted for other reasons.
Did you know that distracted driving is the #1 cause of deaths on Ontario roads!?
Last week, my uncle was struck by a car. He was out for his daily walk and the driver wasn't paying attention, ran a stop sign and hit him. My uncle incurred a traumatic brain injury, 6 skull fractures, and remained in a coma until the other day. He is now somewhat awake but we have no idea what the outcome will be, as the doctors say things can go anyway. My Uncle is hooked up to about 20 various tubes and also has tubes draining the blood and fluid from his brain (among other things) to keep him alive. At this time, all we can do is wait on pins and needles, pray, hope for the best, and wait and see what happens while the Doctors do their best to help him recover.
Distracted driving statistics: (source: https://www.ontario.ca/page/distracted-driving#!%2F12)
In Ontario, deaths from collisions caused by distracted driving have doubled since 2000.
Ontario data on collisions from 2013 show:
- one person is injured in a distracted-driving collision every half hour
- a driver using a phone is four times more likely to crash than a driver focusing on the road (8X per CAA, linked here.)
- Simply holding an electronic device in your hands (hand-held communication during driving is against the law)
- Using a cellular phone to talk, text, check maps or switch playlists
- Eating (there may not be a licence suspension, but the RCMP warn you could be fined or given six demerits depending on the food)
- Reading books or documents
- Typing a destination into the GPS
With it becoming darker much earlier, we have to be even more vigilant while driving. It can be very difficult to see pedestrians, especially if they are wearing darker clothing. I have to admit, that I no longer take walk outdoors, with the exception of trails out in nature. There are just too many people getting hit by distracted drivers.
December 4th, 2018- Update- My Uncle remains in a coma.

Hands off our players is clear warning from Hammers boss Sam
PUBLISHED: 11:44 17 January 2013 | UPDATED: 11:44 17 January 2013
PA Wire/Press Association Images
West Ham boss Sam Allardyce has always described the January transfer window as 'total lunacy' and it seems this year's version is following along those lines.
The boss was greeted on Saturday morning by a story suggesting that Carlton Cole would be allowed to leave the club, while there have been rumours brewing since the end of last year that Mo Diame may be on his way.
Added to that, Newcastle United are said to be interested in bringing defender James Tomkins to St James' Park as they look to bolster their own squad.
Cole is currently the number one choice striker at the club with Andy Carroll out injured, but with Marouane Chamakh and Wellington Paulista coming into the club, that place could be under threat.
Carroll too is slowly returning to fitness, but Allardyce has always insisted that he is looking to recruit rather than sell his players.
"I'm not looking for anyone to go out during this month," said Allardyce. "We need to strengthen our squad, especially with so many injuries. So unless we get a silly bid of £15 million for Tomkins then we are not planning to sell."
Tomkins has been in and out of the team this season, but with James Collins currently injured, he is likely to play an important part over the next few weeks.
Diame, meanwhile has a clause in his contract that would allow him to leave for £3.5m, but despite rumours of interest from Arsenal, the manager has denied that there has been any offers.
"We have had no official bid at all from Arsenal for Mo Diame, and I can't see where he would fit in there," insisted Allardyce, who admitted that he was worried at the prospect of him going.
"I can't see who he's going to replace. There wouldn't be any point in him going unless he's playing, would there?"
Diame himself is said to be keen to stay, but if an attractive offer finally arrives then the temptation may be too much.

A need for grass may have driven much of the frantic property sale activity that has taken place in the Winton-Longreach district in the first few months of the year but agents say the purchases have the dual purpose of a long-term investment.
Among those to sell are Pat and Sue Hegarty at Colanya, north west of Longreach.
Their well-grassed property changed hands for $259.46/ha ($105/acre) to a buyer from Narrabri who plans on backgrounding cattle, according to selling agent Ben Forrest, Colliers International.
Mr Forrest, who has just listed the 26,626 hectare (65,794 acre) Hereward property 70km north of Longreach, said there was a window open for buyers and sellers in terms of grass.
"In terms of values, the far west has not caught up with eastern parts," he said.
Longreach agent Richard Simpson agreed.
"People say it's grass money. I say the Longreach area has languished because of the severe drought; it hasn't had a lift.
"The better positioned country is still of value. I think the market will just get stronger now, for any property of position."
He recently sold Tandara, on the Silsoe Road, on behalf of Don and Jar Milne for $125/acre to the owners of Ringwood Station, Alice Springs.
Bucking the trend on that road was the auction of Marmboo, which adjoins Colanya. According to Peter McPherson, representing Queensland Rural Ruralco Property, it was passed in without a bid at auction on April 11.
The 38,558ha (95,238 acre) property received solid rainfall in December and February and again in March.
Mr McPherson speculated that rain in more areas meant the urgency had gone out of needing grass for the moment, but said he had two parties negotiating.
He said the property, offered by North Queensland graziers Brendan and Debbie McAuliffe, was available for $220/ha ($90/acre).
On the Landsborough Highway 80km south of Winton, Wayne and Gayle Sharp have sold Pauralos Park to Clermont graziers Alan and Jane Foot.
It was listed for $3m walk in walk out and is understood to have sold for that price. That price is equivalent to $292/ha or $118/acre.
Further north, Mark and Kate Bradshaw have sold Luckham, 80 km north east of Winton, to the McDonald family from Albeni, Springsure. It's understood the price paid was $130/ha or $52.61/acre.
Scott and Sarnia Walker will manage the improved downs country property.
Joining that on a corner post is Enryb, which has been sold by PJ Elliott to Greg and Megan Warren and family from Surat for an undisclosed price.
According to Tom Brodie, their son Dean and his partner Jody will manage it.
"The Warrens always wanted to invest up here so this purchase is a long-term investment for them," Tom said.
Mike, Patrice, Scott and Jenna Elliott have sold the 189,000ha (466,830 acre) Boolbie, 125km west of Winton, bare of stock to Rob and Lois Grummitt, South Belle, Augathella, while their daughter and son-in-law Kirra and Stuart Reddan, Boggarella, Augathella, have purchased the adjoining Archervale, which is 14,174ha (35,010 acres).
The family are well-known organic producers and Tom said they intended to operate their Winton country as an organic enterprise.
The country is described as very diverse, ranging from undulating pebbly gidyea and light mulga to creek channel systems, Mitchell grass downs, and hard range country.
The price was undisclosed.
Also at Winton, Richard Simpson said he had sold the 20,234ha (49,998 acre) Goomeda, a mulga block 95km south of the town, on behalf of Clarrie Hermann, to Tambo's Chris Skelton for around $84/ha or $30/acre.
A number of Winton and Longreach properties are still for sale, including Carisbrooke, Suvla, Tranbie and Tulmur at Winton, and Alroy and Eureka, west of Longreach.
Two others between Longreach and Winton are under contract.

The pencil lurking in the darkness of my satchel does its work quickly, and I almost hear the little "pop" as it pierces my thumb like a needle. I jerk my hand back and watch a bubble of blood well on the tip of my thumb, remembering the time in junior high when I accidentally stabbed myself in the knee with a pencil, and wonder if this time, like then, will leave a mark that lasts years.

Karma Leaves a Mark
I reach into the bag blindly, groping for my comb to tame the disaster that's become of my hair during the morning commute. This is, of course, in direct violation of all of my recent attempts to "do easy."

If the simple aspect of the heels is no longer your preference, then giving them a new look is a good thing. Your high-heel sandals should be taken and floral hair pins/clips should be used in making them to be sophisticated.
See More: WHAT IS NO CARBS DIET?
The flower should be clipped on where you would like to see them and the shoes should be worn for a few steps to ensure that the pins are not hurting.
Image Source: cocorosa
If they are hurting, the pins/clips should be taken out and the flower should be glued on the shoe. That's it! You can always look gorgeous when attending any formal or casual event with your new heels!

text: Have you ever wondered why you don't physically act out your dreams? It's because a biochemical switch, tripped as you enter the REM phase, literally blocks the brain's ability to consciously order your muscles to move. If this switch fails to work, all sorts of REM-related oddities can ensue: People might walk, talk, eat or do violence while sleeping. Victims of a condition known as night terrors literally live out their nightmares. And remember my own story about waking up paralyzed? That's what happens when the switch does its work too well, and the mind wakes up before the body regains its ability to move.

This week Judge Fallon has commented that he may stop (before he has even begun in earnest) trying any cases in New Orleans. During this week's monthly hearing Fallon
said he may ``shut down'' the consolidation if all the cases are being tried in state court before we get one tried in federal court.'
Fallon had said before Katrina struck that he wanted to try some Vioxx claims before starting settlement talks. By my count, at least six Vioxx suits are set for trial in state courts in New Jersey, Texas, Florida and California.
How to try them? The Judge commented from the bench that witnesses could not be located, lawyers were not available, and records and doctors could not be located. That is to say nothing of seating a jury in NOLA.
What will happen? IMHO they either get sent back to the state where the suit was filed (and tried in USDCT there), the MDL is moved permanently elsewhere, it is kept there but Judge Fallon sits by designation in other states (not likely), or the MDL is dismantled (not likely). Would the PSC and Merck Counsel agree to some sort of abeyance? With the two (2) year anniversary of the market withdrawal coming up, the closer that date is, the better idea Merck will have (in 2 year SOL states) how many claims are out there. My best guess is that the another trial will be held in NOLA but it may have to be set closer to late summer.
Merck should want them in one place, but given the strategy so far, the company may wish to have them splintered off, and it will result the death of the company by a thousand cuts.

What distinguishes you from your competition?
For InterNACHI's Marketing Team (at nachi.org/marketing) to create the most effective marketing materials for you, we'd like you to take some time to think carefully about how your business differs from your competitors'.
Read all of the following questions. It's possible that you've come to take for granted even the most basic tools and services in your arsenal, but they may be the very things that your competitors don't offer. So, think in as much detail as possible about the different things you believe distinguish you from your competition, including tools, inspection services, report features, customer service conveniences, ancillary services, etc.
For example, do you have a work background and/or formal education or training in a field related to home inspections, such as construction, engineering, code compliance, etc.? Do you have multiple certifications and/or licenses? Do you provide thermal imaging as part of your standard home inspection? Do you carry special tools and equipment, such as an extra-tall ladder or a Spectoscope for inspecting roofs? Do you perform inspections on green/alternative housing? Does your company employ more than one inspector? Do you use certain technology while performing your inspections, such as an iPad? Try to think outside the box!

The 100th anniversary World Series gets under way Saturday night in New York where the Yankees host the Florida Marlins in the opening game of U.S. major-league baseball's October classic.
The Yankees have dominated the last century of baseball, and are looking for their 27th world title. New York had the best record in the American League this season, and has baseball's highest payroll by far, at $157 million.
By contrast, the Marlins are in the 11th year of their existence, and have earned one championship in 1997. Florida won the National League championship this year as the wildcard entry, and is ranked 20th of the 30 teams in total annual salaries at $53 million.
Forty-year-old veteran David Wells will be on the mound for the Yankees in the opening game of the best-of-seven series, while 25-year-old Brad Penny will pitch for the Marlins. Florida's Jack McKeon, at the age of 72, is the oldest manager to lead his team into a World Series.
The Marlins won the National League championship Wednesday, finishing off the Chicago Cubs with their third straight win to take the league series, four games to three.
The Yankees' series with the Boston Red Sox also went to the limit (seven games). The New Yorkers were four runs down but rallied to tie the game in the eighth inning, and they hung on to end Boston's hopes with a home run in the 11th. The Yankees were the first team since 1925 to win a post-season series by coming back from such a large deficit in the final game.
The Marlins also came from behind in their final game. They and the Yankees both turned their games around when they were just five outs away from losing the league championship.

The Central Connecticut baseball team won its seventh straight Northeast Conference game with a comfortable 17-3 win over Fairleigh Dickinson on Friday at CCSU Baseball Field. The Blue Devils tied a season-high for runs scored, while banging out 16 hits. CCSU improves to 22-19 overall and 12-7 in the NEC with the win.
The Blue Devils and Knights will play a doubleheader on Saturday beginning at 12:00 p.m. Central will honor its four seniors before the first game of the day.
Central scored three runs in the bottom of the first inning to take the lead. Junior Dave Matthews and sophomore Jake Siracusa each knocked in a run to help the Blue Devils take advantage of two FDU errors and build a 3-0 lead.
After an FDU run in the top of the inning, CCSU would break the game open in the bottom of the fourth when it batted around and sent 16 batters to the plate in the frame and scored 10 runs on nine hits. After a groundout to open the inning, Siracusa would triple to right-center to begin a stretch of eight straight hits for Central. Sophomores Peyton Stephens, Jay Devito and Matt Bertochi would follow with three straight RBI-doubles. After a bunt single, sophomore Sam Loda hit the Blue Devils' second triple of the inning to drive in two runs. Sophomore TT Bowens would hit a double to plate a run and Matthews followed with a single to score a run.
A pair of walks would load the bases for Devito who collected his second hit of the inning and drove in two more runs. After a walk loaded the bases, junior Chris Kanios was hit by a pitch to bring home another run to make it 13-1.
A two-run homerun by FDU in the top of the sixth was followed by another CCSU run in the bottom of the inning after junior Buddy Dewaine was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded to force in a run.
In the Central seventh, Stephens led off with a solo homerun off the scoreboard in left field. Loda would double home a run and Bowens followed with a single to drive in a run and close out the Blue Devils' scoring.
Senior Tom Curtin started for Central and tossed 7.0 innings to get the win. He allowed three runs on nine hits and struck out two. Junior Andrew Braun and freshman Dylan Benton each threw a shutout inning in relief.
Loda finished 3-for-5 with three runs and three runs batted in. Bowens had three hits, while scoring two runs with two RBIs. Devito added two hits, three RBIs and a run scored. All nine CCSU starters scored at least a run in the win and six batters had at least two hits.
The Blue Devils and Knights will wrap the three-game series with a doubleheader on Saturday beginning at 12:00 p.m.

PAUL Hopkins may be blind, but that's not going to stop him cycling more than 200 miles to Amsterdam and raising hundreds of pounds.
The 39-year-old from Chatham Road, Northfield, Birmingham. is relying on pal Paul Obrey to lead when they make the gruelling journey to Holland on their tandem.
They hope to raise at least #1,000 each for the Motor Neurone Disease Association with the ride in June.
As well as a busy training schedule, the friends are preparing to negotiate the roads, with Paul Obrey steering and Paul Hopkins signalling, from Stansted Airport, in Essex, to Amsterdam.
The first night will be spent on an overnight ferry from Harwich, Essex, to the Hook of Holland, and the following two nights will be spent in Dutch youth hostels.
Paul Hopkins, who works for a company that makes Braille, said: "Paul and I have a long-term friendship going back over 15 years or so and you build a trust with somebody over that period of time."
Social worker Paul Obrey, aged 36, of Gibbins Road, Selly Oak, said: "I ride anyway, but Paul hasn't been on a bike for a long time.
"He's registered blind and has only got a tiny bit of sight - he can just see odd shapes and shadows.
"We've been out training together in the mornings and we're trying to go out every weekend for two or three hours at a time."
The friends decided to raise money for the charity because a family they know had lost relatives to the wasting disease.
Paul Hopkins said: "This is definitely a team effort and we're hoping to raise as much money as possible for the charity.
"We both have personal experience of friends and their family who have been affected by the condition, and Paul's work brings him into contact with people who have the disease on a regular basis."
Blogs of their progress can be found at www.vipod casting.libsyn.com .
Anyone who wants to sponsor them can e-mail http://Amstertandem @gmail.com.

What sorts of questions will be asked? In addition to questions about satisfaction with services they receive, people will be asked how often they carry out various activities (such as go out for entertainment) and whether they would like to do these activities more or less often. There are also questions about how easy or difficult it is to access local services and amenities. Some questions are just for carers so we can also understand their experiences.
When will the survey be conducted? The survey will be conducted between 12 February and 31 March 2019.
How will the survey be conducted? The survey will be conducted over the phone and take about 15 minutes. Where a person is unable to use a phone, the interview will be conducted in a format that suits them.

A 15-second preview of the new KORN song "Insane" is available below. The full track will be premiered this Sunday, August 21 on the BBC Radio 1 "Rock Show" with Daniel P. Carter.
"Insane" is taken from KORN's new album, "The Serenity Of Suffering", which will be released on October 21. The follow-up to 2013's "The Paradigm Shift" was helmed by Grammy Award-winning producer Nick Raskulinecz, who has previously worked with FOO FIGHTERS, DEFTONES, MASTODON and RUSH, among others. The CD features a guest appearance by SLIPKNOT frontman Corey Taylor on the song "A Different World".
"The Serenity Of Suffering" marks the band's return to Roadrunner, which previously released 2010's "Korn III - Remember Who You Are" and 2011's "The Path Of Totality".
"The Serenity Of Suffering" track listing:
01. Insane
02. Rotting In Vain
03. Black Is The Soul
04. The Hating
05. A Different World (feat. Corey Taylor)
06. Take Me
07. Everything Falls Apart
08. Die Yet Another Night
09. When You're Not There
10. Next In Line
11. Please Come For Me
The official video for the song "Rotting In Vain", which stars actor Tommy Flanagan ("Sons Of Anarchy", "Gladiator"), can be seen below. The clip, which taps into the dark underbelly of a bizarre world, was lensed by famed rock video director Dean Karr.
The cover art for "The Serenity Of Suffering" was created by acclaimed artist Ron English. It depicts a teenage KORN fan at a dystopian acid-nightmare funfair who is clutching a disembowelled and skeletal version of the doll who adorned 1999's "Issues".
KORN frontman Jonathan Davis told Rolling Stone about the track: "'Rotting In Vain' was written about being in that black place, being in situations that I don't like in life — be it relationships, or feeling when you're stuck and you're just being abused or you don't like where you're at, and you just sit there and rot. It takes you years and years to figure out how to claw your way out. That's where 'Rotting In Vain' came from. I'm just sitting there, fucking dying and letting it happen for years and years and not helping myself to get out of that place. That's the vibe that inspired the song."
"The Serenity Of Suffering" marks the second KORN album since the return of guitarist Brian "Head" Welch, who said, "This is a record to me that the intensity of KORN is back, and the live energy. Raw energy is there."
KORN's co-headlining tour with ROB ZOMBIE, "Return Of The Dreads", kicked off on July 19 in Englewood, Colorado. That trek winds down on September 3 in Bristow, Virginia.
KORN will also hit the road this fall with co-headliners BREAKING BENJAMIN for the "Nocturnal Underground Tour", which will kick off on September 24 in Fargo, North Dakota and run through late October.

Indianola fire that sent man to Harborview started in garage
Fire officials believe a fire that seriously injured a 49-year-old Indianola man Tuesday night started when a speed boat parked in the garage caught on fire.
Its proximity to the house quickly caused the house to catch on fire because of the intense heat, according to information from the Poulsbo Fire Department.
The 49-year-old was flown to Seattle's Harborview Medical Center with serious burns after his house along the 21000 block of Sister Sky Lane, east of Miller Bay, caught fire. On Wednesday, he was listed in satisfactory condition, hospital officials reported.
The garage of the two-story home was fully ablaze, and the flames spread quickly to the main home as firefighters from three Kitsap departments responded at about 9 p.m. Tuesday.
Medics treated the injured man on the scene, then took him to a Bainbridge Island fire station where he was later flown to Seattle. The other residents of the house, a 49-year-old woman and her 16-year-old daughter, and visiting family members including two women, 27 and 24, and a 1-year-old grandchild were all able to get out of the house without injury. The family's three dogs also safely escaped.
It took firefighters 20 minutes and more than 10,000 gallons of water to get control of the fire. Crews also doused neighboring homes to keep them safe from the fire if it spread.
Neighbors told fire officials the family said they were in their living room when they heard noises. The 49-year-old man went to the garage to investigate and when he opened the door was overwhelmed by the flames, according to reports.
Total damage estimates were not known early Wednesday morning, but the garage was destroyed along with a truck parked in the garage, the boat and about half of the home.
The Kitsap County Fire Marshal is investigating. The Suquamish Tribe and family members are helping the family.
The Bainbridge Island Fire Department and North Kitsap Fire and Rescue also responded, as did the Suquamish Police.
