DB ecoonomic heat map of US 11-2013................from Rico
Deutsche Bank has generated a pretty good economic 'heat map' of the US. A lot of the annotations are blah-blah-blah, pc-speak about 'recovery' and other nonsense, but the map itself is pretty good...there are only three colors.
- Red: not good
- Yellow: meh
- Green: better than the other two colors
You want more?
- You haven't seen anything even remotely this useful from the teleprompter readers of the FTV wing of the Ministry of Truth (MSM), nor will you.

Obama's Strange Behavior..........................from Dan Friedman

The Obama administration has decided that the free-standing American embassy to the Holy See will soon be closed, and the offices for the Ambassador to the Vatican will be moved inside of our Italian Embassy.
The Prospect of World War Three
The Prospect of World War Three
By Alan Caruba
Let me begin by saying that the deal the U.S. struck with Iran on November 24 is so criminally stupid that mobs with torches and pitchforks should be surrounding the White House and Department of State demanding that the President and Secretary of State resign.
How many times does the United States have to make really bad deals with really bad nations? And then call it progress!
In 1994, former President Clinton announced that a deal with North Korea had agreed to “freeze the major elements of its nuclear program.” A new round of talks was scheduled—in Geneva—to dot the i’s and cross the t’s. Virtually the same language was used by President Obama in his late evening announcement of a fundamentally useless, but extremely dangerous agreement with Iran.
Worse than accepting Iran’s deception, it is as if Obama knew nothing of the North Korean deal that subsequently resulted in its development of a nuclear weapon despite some costly bribery exacted for promises it never intended to keep. The worst part of this is Obama’s deception of Congress and the American people. Efforts to grant Iran the status of a new nuclear power had been secretly going on for a year behind the back of Congress.
On hearing of the deal, Rep. Mike Rogers said “That’s the one thing the whole world was trying to stop them from doing,” referring to the permission granted to continue enriching uranium. “We made this mistake in Pakistan. We made this mistake in North Korea. History is a great judge here and great teacher. Why would you make the same mistake to a nation that will proliferate a nuclear arms race in the Middle East if they are successful at getting a nuclear weapon?”
It is important to keep in mind that not just the U.S. is a signatory to this agreement, but also the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Russia and China. It was facilitated by the European Union. The lessons of history were totally ignored. The sanctions imposed by the United Nations on Iran were ignored.
For years many have taken comfort in the knowledge that, in the past, Israel destroyed the nuclear reactors that were being built in Iraq and more recently in Syria. An attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities was assumed to have the support of U.S. military power in the event that Iran would retaliate either directly or through its terrorist proxies, Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza.
It is clear now that Obama has abandoned Israel as well as Saudi Arabia which also regards Iran as its enemy. Obama has embraced America’s enemy since the Islamic revolution in 1979. He has not brought us closer to peace. He has brought the world closer to World War Three.
I am not a military strategist, but one need not be to understand Israel’s peril or the limits on its ability to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities, many of which are underground or heavily defended.
Here are some comparisons:
Iran has a population of 78,868,711. Israel has a population of 7,765,700.
Of these, those fit for military service are 39,556,497 in Iran and 2,511,190 in Israel.
Comparing active military personnel, Iran has 545,000 and Israel has 187,000.
Iran has 650,000 in military reserves. Israel has 565,000.
Iran’s annual defense budget (in USD) is $10,687,000,000 and Israel’s is $15,209,000,000.
The comparison of their military capabilities is equally daunting. A sobering analysis is offered on the website of the Jewish Virtual Library.
Even if Israel were to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities, it would also have to fend off massive rocket attacks from Hezbollah and Hamas.
What defies Obama’s reasoning is Iran’s long history of attacks on the West. It has specialized in taking hostages, initially in Lebanon from 1984 through 1992. It seized the American embassy in 1979 and held American diplomats for 444 days. It holds an American cleric as this is being written.
In 2011, the U.S. discovered that Iran had conceived and funded a plot to assassinate Saudi Arabia’s ambassador to the U.S. in Washington, D.C. At the time, the State Department said that the thwarted plot “underscored anew Iran’s interest in using international terrorism—including the United States—to further its foreign policy goals.”
Obama’s ability to thwart Iran’s nuclear ambitions and its intent to become a Middle East hegemon through diplomacy does not exist.
A race to acquire nuclear arms has begun in the region where Israel and Pakistan already have them, as does India and China. Saudi Arabia has announced its intent to secure nuclear weapons.
One can only conclude that this interim agreement is a repeat of the appeasement that occurred in Munich when European nations sought a similar agreement with the Nazi regime. The lessons of history are unforgiving.

But to put it in twenty-five words or less, we are knowingly repeating the same mistakes of the 1930’s - and we can expect similar results (G-d forbid!). Now that the wheels have been set in motion, there is only one thing standing in the way of the return of familiar evils, fiends and monsters, and that’s the Jewish state's willingness to throw a wrench into the works.

History NOT repeating, nor rhyming, but saying....................from Rico
It's often misquoted as "peace in our time" but Neville "numb nuts" Chamberlain's words were actually "peace for our time" after making that famous 'deal' with Adolf Hitler.
- Yeah, we all know just how well THAT worked out here on planet reality, don't we?
This segues nicely to a modern PAIR of numb nuts. John "like Genghis Khan" Kerry, and Barry "if Michelle ever opens her purse and lets him see them" Soetoro.
- Jon 'help us' Carry has a long history of hating America, in fact made a life's career out of it building upon his VVAW testimony in front of Congress accusing American troops in the (now former, thank you very much Walter, Jane, John & company) Republic of South Vietnam of criminal acts that would make 'Genghis' Khan (as the condescending and pompous bastard actually pronounced it) simply wet himself in envy, and by throwing someone else's Vietnam decorations over the White House fence.
- Barry son-of-Frank Davis Marshall (the noted card-carrying Communist party USA radical) has done nothing in his breathing existence that is good or beneficial FOR the USA, but instead devotes every lazy fiber in his half-a-fag, dope-smoking, body to HARM America, freedom, and anything even tangentially related to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness or 'we the people.'
So this 'brilliant deal' just made with Iran has (a) Iran doing victory laps, (b) Israel and Saudi Arabia alternately saying 'WTF?' and 'now what do WE do about this?'...but at least they're talking, (c) most of the rest of the world laughing yet again at what total dumbasses are running America, and (d) anyone with two wits to rub together thinking 'oh shit, this really tears it.'
And it is a classic example of history NOT repeating, and NOT rhyming, but preparing to go full-on BOHICA (bend over, here it comes again).

The UN Global Warming Hoax is Slowly Dying
By Alan Caruba
In 2007 Dr. Nils-Axel Mörner was interviewed on the subject of sea levels. He is the head of the Paleogeophysics and Geodynamics department at Stockholm University in Sweden. He is past president (1999-2003) of the INQUA Commission on Sea Level Changes and Coastal Evolution, and leader of the Maldives Sea Level Project. Dr. Mörner has been studying the sea level and its effects on coastal areas for some 35 years.
“You have Vanuatu, and also in the Pacific, north of New Zealand and Fiji— there is the island Tegua. They said they had to evacuate it, because the sea level was rising. But again, you look at the tide-gauge record: There is absolutely no signal that the sea level is rising. If anything, you could say that maybe the tide is lowering a little bit, but absolutely no rising.”
The most recent edition of Bloomberg Businessweek features a cover that says “This entire country is about to be wiped out by climate change. It won’t last.” It is devoted to Kribati, a Pacific island chain, and it is a total lie.
The media has been a co-conspirator to the global warming hoax and I take this latest example as one that reveals its utter desperation to maintain the greatest hoax of the modern era. The facts mean nothing to them. Real science means nothing to them. But reality is intruding on theirs and the United Nations environmental program just wrapped up Conference of Parties-19 in Warsaw, where more nations are now in open revolt.
Writing from the conference was Craig Rucker, the Executive Director of the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT), a think tank that has helped organize the Poles to protest this travesty. “Poland has been bullied for decades and they are not about to cede their energy independence to Russia, the UN or anyone. Nor should they.”
On November 21, Rucker reported that “COP-19 was shocked when China led a block of 132 nations in a walkout over ‘loss and damage.’ Loss and damage is a completely bogus concept that developed nations should be legally liable when natural disasters strike developing nations. There is of course no meaningful scientific or historical link that Typhoon Haiyan/Yolanda was abnormal and with no global warming link.”
We owe a debt of gratitude as well to The Heartland Institute, a Chicago-based free market think tank, that has sponsored eight international conferences on global warming since 2008 and recently released a report,“Global Warming Reconsidered II.” Like CFACT it has been on the forefront of those seeking to educate the public regarding the phony science claims put forth.
COP-19 was one more UN conference leading up to a new version of the Kyoto Protocol that required nations that signed onto it to reduce their so-called greenhouse gas emissions. The final push will come in 2015 in Paris.
Nations that did sign on—the U.S. Senate unanimously refused to ratify the treaty when the Protocol was initially introduced in 1997—are realizing the economic harm that it imposed on them. The same afternoon of the China-led walkout, Poland announced that it had fired its environmental minister who is also the president of the UN conference, two days before the conference was supposed to end!
The Protocol, as is the entire global warming aka climate change hoax, is based on the lie that carbon dioxide (CO2) in the Earth’s atmosphere is causing it to warm. In recent years CO2 has increased in the atmosphere and the Earth, some fifteen or more years ago, entered a cooling cycle. It is getting colder.
“Never underestimate what a gathering of bureaucrats and carbon profiteers might accomplish when after your money”, warned Rucker.
A November 20 article in The Daily Caller reported that “It’s worth noting that U.S. diplomats were specifically instructed by the Obama administration to oppose any attempts to create an independent fund for climate reparations from rich countries to poor countries.” Three days later the administration announced that it now supports all nations declaring their targets for reducing CO2 emissions before 2015. Rucker warns that this now clears “the path for the UN to adopt a full climate treaty and successor to the Kyoto Protocol in 2015.” If the Senate is not controlled by Republicans at that point, it would permit the administration to sign onto a treaty. The harm to the economy would be incalculable.
Australia’s Prime Minister Tony Abbott, elected recently to undo the damage of a carbon tax, told the Washington Post “Despite a carbon tax of $37 a ton by 2020, Australia’s domestic emissions were going up, not down. The carbon tax was basically socialism masquerading as environmentalism and that’s why it’s going to get abolished.” Australia did not send a representative to COP-19. Canada dropped out of the Protocol in recent years. Japan is abandoning the UN’s greenhouse gas emission reduction levels by allowing them to grow by three percent.
Nation by nation the UN global warming hoax is being abandoned for the obvious reason that it is a lie perpetrated to transfer wealth from the developed nations to those less developed. It was never about saving the Earth from a global warming; that was a lie from start to finish.
Some journalists are trying to tell the truth, but magazines like BusinessWeek and newspapers like The New York Times continue to keep the hoax alive. An informed population, not just in the United States, but increasingly worldwide, will ensure that it dies a long overdue death.

"Israel is not bound by this agreement".........................from Dan Friedman
(Communicated by the Prime Minister Media Adviser)
Following is an excerpt from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's remarks at the start of the weekly Cabinet meeting today (Sunday, 24 November 2013):
"What was achieved last night in Geneva is not an historic agreement; it is an historic mistake. Today the world has become a much more dangerous place because the most dangerous regime in the world has taken a significant step toward attaining the most dangerous weapon in the world. For the first time, the world's leading powers have agreed to uranium enrichment in Iran while ignoring the UN Security Council decisions that they themselves led. Sanctions that required many years to put in place contain the best chance for a peaceful solution. These sanctions have been given up in exchange for cosmetic Iranian concessions that can be cancelled in weeks. This agreement and what it means endanger many countries including, of course, Israel. Israel is not bound by this agreement. The Iranian regime is committed to the destruction of Israel and Israel has the right and the obligation to defend itself, by itself, against any threat. As Prime Minister of Israel, I would like to make it clear: Israel will not allow Iran to develop a military nuclear capability."

China! China! China!
By Alan Caruba
“Doom is one of the
oldest stories of mankind,” says Josef Joffe in his excellent new book, “The
Myth of America’s Decline: Politics, Economics, and a Half Century of False
Prophesies.”
As long as I can
remember I have read and heard that America is in decline beginning when
Sputnik was launched in the 1950s. We were all told that the Soviet Union was
to be the next great superpower. It collapsed in 1991. The Federation that
replaced it was the shrunken loss of many of its former captive satellite
states. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, we were told a resurgent Europe would
overtake the U.S. and in the 1980s that Japan would become an economic
superpower.
Now we are being told
that the future belongs to China and the emerging economies there and in
India. Joffe, a Fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution,
publisher-editor of Die Ziet, and
frequent contributor to Foreign Affairs
and Foreign Affairs, has gathered
together the facts of America’s economic ups and downs to present a realistic
and optimistic view of the future.
The news is filled
with reports on China’s 18th Central Committee’s Third Plenum, citing
promises of expanded property rights, transparent market regulation, and prices
set by the market. The Wall Street Journal, however, noted that “China’s new
leaders are tightening political repression”, the mark of every Communist
state. There was also news of China’s loosening of its “one-child” policy that
restricted couples from adding too much to its population of 1.3 billion.
Joffe demonstrates why
China has many problems that will keep it from overtaking America’s economic
dynamism and before you fall the latest version of America’s decline, you
should definitely read his book. He asks, “Who would actually want to live in a
world dominated by China, India, Japan, Russia, or even Europe, which for all
its enormous appeal, cannot take care of its own backyard? Not even those who
have been trading in glee and gloom decade after decade would prefer…to take
over as housekeeper of the world.”
As for China, Joffe
notes that it “has the largest population on earth, half of which is still
living in the countryside.” Half the population “remains poised to go urban and
sell its labor at low wages”, but he also points out that, in terms of its
demographics, “China is getting older and America is getting younger.” Its
fertility rate has dropped and “Aging is not good for growth and so China will
inevitably slow down, with rapid aging adding pressure to all the other growth
brakes embedded in an economy that remains resolutely statist.”
And that is China’s
problem. While introducing reforms, China is still a nation where the state
owns and operates much of its economy. This is an object lesson and warning to
Americans who are now rising up to demand that Obamacare, the takeover of one
sixth of the U.S. economy, be repealed. Governments cannot and should not run
various elements of a nation’s economy because decisions are based in politics,
not the marketplace.
“China’s working-age
population will reach its peak at the end of this decade and decades before the
People’s Republic is supposed to overtake the United States.” Meanwhile, thanks
to our fertility rates and immigration, the U.S. will have a population of
younger workers. It has not escaped the attention of observers that, by 2025,
China would account for less than a fifth of the world’s population, but almost
a fourth of the world’s senior citizens.”
“A burgeoning army of
pensioners and infirm will eat up investment funds as a fire will consume
oxygen,” says Joffe. Aging populations worldwide, including our own, put
enormous strains on growth and, as we have seen here, social programs such as
Social Security and Medicare are threatened with insolvency unless reformed.
Nothing scares the political class more as the aging citizens
who represent a major voting bloc.
“Economic growth could
soar or falter tomorrow, but populations change slowly because they are rooted
in long-term trends and culture,’ says Joffe.
Joffe also cited
China’s educational system that places its emphasis on learning the answers to
tests as opposed to the ability to think creatively and question government
dictates. This reflects in part our own educational system that has been
tending toward “teaching to the test” and a national curriculum such as is
being imposed in the current “Common Core” program that the Obama
administration has introduced.
“In a one-party state
that is China, the government is the ultimate guardian over what students and
scholars may read, say, and even write, in schools for the elite.”
Education is the basis
of “human capital” because an educated population is a major contributor to
economic growth. “One quick, but effective, way is to look at education
expenditures as a share of GDP, where the United States beats China and India
hands down.” They spend around 3.5 percent while the U.S. spends 7 percent. And
this on a population one-quarter the size of China’s and one-third the size of
India’s, and with a GDP that dwarf the economies of China and India by factors
of 2.5 and 10, respectfully.
Militarily China may
pose a problem for Asian nations; it is unlikely to pose a threat to the
United States whose military power, though being reduced by expenditures and
other factors, is still the greatest in the world.
“In his Rise and Decline of Nations, Mancur
Olson argues that closed societies freeze up-victims of rent-seeking elites who
capture political power to cement economic privilege and stifle the competition
that fuels rejuvenation.”
America’s problem is
not so much China as it our out-of-control spending and the dangerous increase
in our indebtedness. Until this is gotten under control we will be borrowing
too much and, China, that purchases much of our debt will do its best to
compete economically with a system that does little for its own and which
depends on our financial stability.
All of this argues for
an America, for all its current problems from an administration trying to
“transform” America into a Communist worker’s paradise, that will replace the
backward steps that have been taken and make the changes necessary to remain
the world’s only true superpower.
That is the payoff of capitalism and freedom.
That is the payoff of capitalism and freedom.

Getting ready to.................from Rico
To paraphrase William Faulkner, this week looked very much like paper was 'getting ready to stay dead for a long time.'
- The Dollar, and paper Gold, can be created in limitless quantities. And while talk is cheap, and paper even cheaper, this will turn out to be a very EXPENSIVE lesson for the West once 'promises' to repay debt are no longer accepted.
Watching the relentless "beating" of Gold (and Silver) prices on the COMEX again this week, many have 'missed' the point that (a) the same banks involved in the CRIMEX are also involved with the LBMA, and (b) as the registered vaults at GLD see huge amounts of physical Gold bullion heading to Asia (China) all that is being left behind for shareholders are paper Gold obligations.
Here is how the week looked at GLD's vaults in London:
- 18 Nov <1.2 tons>
- 19 Nov <1.5 tons>
- 20 Nov <2.7 tons>
- 21 Nov <3.6 tons>
- 22 Nov <4.5 tons>
As the paper 'spot' price was battered daily on the COMEX, a LOT of physical Gold was leaving London daily for the sunny climes of China.
- Have no doubt that China intends the Yuan to replace the Dollar as the world's global reserve currency eventually (at a time of their choosing), and having the physical Gold to back up their effort....well, remember the old saying "He who has the Gold, makes the rules?" This will carry much more weight that the West's Wimpy-esque promise to 'gladly pay you Tuesday, for a hamburger today' (while HOPING that Tuesday never comes).
