Zero Hedge – by Tyler Durden

Between escalating Grexit concerns and Podemos ‘victory’ in Spain, European bond and stock markets shuddered somewhat today. EURUSD continues to close lower – back below 1.1000. All major bourses across Europe are in the red with Greece and Spain worst (ASE -3%) but the most notable shift is a collapse in Poruguese bonds. Illiquidity has always been an issue for PORTUG bonds but today’s near 4 point collapse in 10Y bond prices (and 48bps spike in spreads) is dramatic to say the least. Spain also saw bond risk jump 10bps. Bond yields and spreads are now higher than before Draghi announced Q€ in January and dramatically higher since bond-buying began. If EU leaders proclaim they can see no contagion from Greece, show them these charts. Finally, despite cash markets being closed, US equity futures also suffered (despite an exuberant BTFD rip higher in China overnight).   Continue reading “China Stocks Surge, Europe/US Purge, & Portuguese Bonds Are Crashing”

If you want to work with children in California – it is very likely that soon you will “need your shots” or be guilty of committing a crime. Daycare or childcare workers operating from the state, private/commercial or from the home will be required to get the CDC recommended shots – that’s essentially anyone who works in childcare.

Sen. Tony Mendoza (D-Artesia) introduced SB 792 in late February. If passed, it would make California the first state in history to require compulsory vaccinations for childcare workers. Predictably, it was quietly introduced during the Disneyland measles outbreak that was virtually over with by the time the bill started moving. The outbreak is the foremost reason given for the law.   Continue reading “California Moves to Force Childcare Workers to Vaccinate or Be Criminals”

Anti-War – by Ray McGovern

How best to show respect for the U.S. troops killed in Iraq and Afghanistan and for their families on Memorial Day? Simple: Avoid euphemisms like “the fallen” and expose the lies about what a great idea it was to start those wars and then to “surge” tens of thousands of more troops into those fools’ errands.

First, let’s be clear on at least this much: the 4,500 U.S. troops killed in Iraq – so far – and the 2,350 killed in Afghanistan – so far – did not “fall.” They were wasted on no-win battlefields by politicians and generals – cheered on by neocon pundits and mainstream “journalists” – almost none of whom gave a rat’s patootie about the real-life-and-death troops. They were throwaway soldiers.   Continue reading “How To Honor Memorial Day”

Washington D.C. – With states all across the country lowering their penalties in marijuana cases, the incoming DEA chief says that the agency will no longer focus on marijuana. Chuck Rosenberg, a former administrator at the FBI, claimed that instead of attacking marijuana users and sellers, that he wants to “improve the DEA’s procedures on classifying, declassifying and reclassifying drugs,” as the new chief of the DEA.

Rosenberg “has proven himself as an exceptional leader, a skilled problem-solver, and a consummate public servant of unshakable integrity,” Att. Gen. Loretta Lynch said in a statement.   Continue reading “New DEA Chief Retreats On War Against Weed, Says DEA Will No Longer Focus On Marijuana”

Anonymity’s toughest adversaries are hackers with the full-force and backing of Beijing, London, and Washington, D.C.

With the threat of powerful intelligence agencies, like the NSA, looming large, researchers have built a new Tor client called Astoria designed specifically to make eavesdropping harder for the world’s richest, most aggressive, and most capable spies.   Continue reading “Hackers build a new Tor client designed to beat the NSA”

Western Rifle Shooters – by Matthew Bracken, July 30, 2010

A second civil war in the United States would be an unparalleled disaster. Nobody who is sane and who has studied modern civil wars from Spain to Lebanon to the Balkans and beyond would ever wish to see one occur. But if political, cultural and demographic trends are sweeping us toward that unhappy destiny, it would be wise to at least cast a weather eye over the possible terrain.

First, a caveat. I am not going to waste our time making politically-correct genuflections after every controversial sentence, because this essay is intended to be read by mature and rational adults.   Continue reading “The CW2 Cube — Mapping The Meta-Terrain Of Civil War Two”

Netanyahu heads Israel’s most extremist government in history. He deplores peace and stability.

Permanent war on Palestine is official policy. So is treating Arabs the way Hitler treated Jews.

Nothing Netanyahu says is credible. He agrees to one thing. He does another. How anyone stands him, they’ll have to explain. Some past and present Israeli officials don’t trust him.    Continue reading “Bibi – Hate-Mongering Racist, Mass Murderer, Serial Liar”

We should never forget those who died in the wars the Bankers and Israel started. Nor should we forget the hundreds of millions of human beings who starved to death because Bankers are allowed to charge us interest on money they created out of nothing. We do know that Foundations say billions of lives will be lost when the dollar, the pound, the yen and the euro collapse.

Human beings are social animals and we ought never to lose sight of the afflictions visited upon us by the greed and the insanity of those who have a license to print our money and the ability to re-write our history.   Continue reading “In Memoriam For Those Who Have Died And Will Die in Wars for The Bankers And For Israel.”

Many accounts will praise the sacrifices and deeds of those who fought in the American wars. Some versions will emotionally express their thanks and respect, while others will list their heroic actions. There is another viewpoint that seldom gets the attention that it deserves. Simply put, what is the true reason that all this blood was shed and the meaning of continued torment that follows, when the guns are silenced? Some will say, we just need to revere those who served. Others may dare to ask, why and what for?   Continue reading “What Memorial Day Do You Honor?”
