The former acting director of the CIA, in his first public testimony on Benghazi, confirmed that he ignored guidance from the top CIA officer on the ground in favor of reporting from analysts far removed from the scene, in shaping the flawed “talking points” which said the attack sprung from a protest.

Mike Morell, who served as both deputy and acting director of the agency, is under increasing scrutiny over his role in forming the administration’s public narrative about the attack — a narrative which inaccurately blamed a protest from the outset. Morell is accused of heavily editing the so-called “talking points,” which were the basis for then-U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice’s controversial comments on several Sunday shows after the attacks that also blamed a protest.    Continue reading “Ex-CIA chief confirms he ignored Benghazi guidance from top officer on ground”

Russia “forced” by the sanctions to create a currency system which is independent from the US dollar.  

Russia announces that it will sell (and buy) products and commodities – including oil – in rubles rather than in dollars. The move is towards the development of bilateral.

Putin has been preparing this move — the creation of a payment system in rubles completely independent and protected from the Dollar and the “killer speculations” (e.g. short-selling) of the big Western financial institutions — for a long time.   Continue reading “Putin Flushes the US Dollar: Russia’s Gold Ruble Payments System Delinked from Dollar?”

The surprise departure of a top JPMorgan Chase executive for a giant private equity firm underscores how financial regulations are forcing a shift in the balance of power on Wall Street.

Considered a likely heir to Jamie Dimon, the bank’s 58-year-old chief executive, Michael J. Cavanagh announced on Tuesday that he would resign as JPMorgan’s co-head of investment banking to take on the role of co-chief operating officer of the Carlyle Group. Mr. Cavanagh’s decision to give up a chance at eventually running JPMorgan signals how running a large bank has become less attractive, considering the regulatory hurdles and heightened scrutiny that have dogged Wall Street since the aftermath of the financial crisis.   Continue reading “A Likely Heir Is Leaving JPMorgan Chase”

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Charlotte Mayor Patrick Cannon, who has been in office less than six months, resigned Wednesday, just hours after he was arrested and accused of taking more than $48,000 in bribes from undercover FBI agents posing as businessmen who wanted to do work with North Carolina’s largest city.

Cannon submitted his resignation letter to city manager Ron Carlee and city attorney Bob Hagemann, Charlotte spokesman Keith Richardson said in an email. The 47-year-old Cannon is charged with bribery and public corruption. The Democrat took cash, airline tickets, a hotel room and the use of a luxury apartment as bribes and solicited more than $1 million more, according to a criminal complaint from the U.S. Attorney’s office.   Continue reading “Charlotte, NC, mayor resigns after being accused of taking bribes, charged with corruption”

Farmers in California may be the first citizens to totally lose their private property rights in the State.  Sacramento and Washington already control the water projects—and neither are giving a drop of water to farmers this year.  Some counties are studying the issue of groundwater, with the purpose of considering county control of the groundwater, for the “benefit” of the county.

Now the State of California is about consider taking over all groundwater and its use.  Should they do so, government will be able to control the mix of crops, row and tree, that are grown, where farming is allowed and the size of the farm.  Use of private property, through control of water, will be controlled by government.  Private property is gone.   Continue reading “Gov. Brown, Legislature push groundwater regulation–government control”

WASHINGTON (AP) — Twenty-five pharmaceutical companies are voluntarily phasing out the use of antibiotics for growth promotion in animals processed for meat, the Food and Drug Administration said Wednesday.
