TPP PASSES: OBAMA NOW A DICTATOR
Foundation of global government cemented with passage of secretive bill
by ALEX JONES | INFOWARS.COM | JUNE 24, 2015
One of the most devastating blows to US sovereignty since the country’s founding was dealt today as the Senate handed President Obama his Trans-Pacific Partnership victory.
Despite massive opposition from the American people, Tea Party Republicans and a majority of Democrats, Obama was granted fast-track authority by a 60-38 vote.
Sections of the TPP published by Wikileaks have revealed the treaty’s vast influence over multiple areas including individual rights, internet freedom and even the rule of law itself. Unelected corporate boards and the President can now wield unprecedented control over almost every aspect of human activity.
“If you read, write, publish, think, listen, dance, sing or invent; if you farm or consume food; if you’re ill now or might one day be ill, the TPP has you in its crosshairs,” Wikileaks’ Julian Assange wrote.
Secret TPP chapters regarding immigration also grant President Obama an even greater ability to erode the country’s Southern border.
“Obama will be able to finalize all three of the Obamatrade deals, without any Congressional input…” notesBreitbart.
The TPP, which covers 12 countries and more than 40% of the world’s economy, will place North America under the same global government structure as the European Union, where laws are increasingly crafted outside of public influence.
Amazon Bans Sale of Confederate Gear, But Nazi Memorabilia Freely Available

Amazon.com has banned sales of products featuring the Confederate flag in response to last week’s Charleston massacre, but items featuring the Nazi swastika and the Communist hammer and sickle remain freely available.
The retailer moved to satiate the demands of perpetually offended leftist mobs by removing Confederate gear from its online inventory, but you’ll have no problem purchasing symbols that are intrinsically linked with the slaughter of tens of millions of people.
Here’s just a sample of what is available to purchase right now on Amazon.com;
Swastika-emblazoned knifes.
Nazi SS-emblazoned swords.
Swastika-themed phone cases.
Nazi Eagle necklaces.
Nazi-themed metal signs.
Swastika pendants.
Hammer & Sickle t-shirts.
Hammer & Sickle flags.
Lenin Hammer & Sickle propaganda posters.
“Helpful reminder — Communism led to the deaths of 94 million people world-wide within a hundred years. That’s approximately 93,999,991 more murders than a drug-addled, fatherless loser committed in Charleston,” points out Breitbart’s Katie McHugh.
This once again reminds us that efforts to ban the Confederate flag have little to do with racial sensitivity and everything to do with cynical political opportunism.
As Rush Limbaugh highlighted on his show yesterday, censorship of the Confederate flag is about undermining “the last remaining Republican electoral stronghold in terms of presidential politics” in the south.
As we reported earlier, some on the left are even suggesting that statues of America’s founding fathers should be torn down because people like Thomas Jefferson owned slaves.

Video: This is How Monsanto’s GMOs Could Be Banned
Anthony Gucciardi
Prison Planet.com
June 23, 2015
Will GMOs ever be banned? And if so, how will it happen? These are the questions that I am asked by thousands of concerned eaters on a routine basis. They are great questions, and ones that require a bit of explanation to truly ‘answer.’ As part of a new Q&A video series, I delve into the question and detail the factors that are required for Monsanto’s GMOs to hit the ‘ban’ list in the United States.
In order to delve into the possibility of a full-fledged ‘ban’ on GMOs, of which biotech juggernaut owns 90% of the GMO seed market, we first need to establish a limit or ban on Monsanto’s Roundup — a glyphosate-based herbicide that we already know is linked to cancer. Even the World Health Organization has now joined us in declaring that Roundup is, in fact, generating disease through the contamination of the water supply and general use.
Already, other countries and international retailers have begun limiting the sale of Roundup amid the reports. One of the most recent and most notable bans was just announced by the French government, which has banned the weedkiller from its garden centers. As The Independent tells us:
“France has announced a ban on over the counter sales of a brand of weedkiller from garden centres after the active ingredient was classified as “probably carcinogenic to humans” by the UN.
The UN’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified glyphosate in March as “probably carcinogenic to humans,” and is the active ingredient in Roundup.”
Truly, the precedent has now been set. Now, if we can take this action inside the borders of the United States, we can set a precedent. A precedent that Monsanto’s creations are in fact inflicting disease upon the public. Then, we go further, and prove that the company knew of these effects before or during the sale of Roundup. Then, we have something to really help make way for the ban of Monsanto’s GMO seeds.
Because if we can show that Monsanto has no problem launching a product that has been linked to cancer by an independent scientific agency, then we can demonstrate that its GMOs and other products should certainly not be trusted. Then, maybe the USDA won’t be able to give them special ‘speedy approval‘ and dismiss its safety testing.

Bankrupt Governments and Negative Interest Rates
Gigantic, logical disconnect mixed in with economic dogma
Image Credits: 401(K) 2012, Flickr.
by ZERO HEDGE | JUNE 24, 2015
The United States is bankrupt. Even officially, its debt-to-GDP ratio is well above 100%, the economic/financial point-of-no-return. Unofficially, its total debts-and-liabilities now exceed $200 trillion – ten times as much as this (relatively) puny economy can service, over even the medium term. The U.S. is not merelybankrupt, it is in a financial state unique to the Western governments of the 21stcentury: “ridiculously bankrupt”.
The United States government has never, in its entire history, paid less interest on its debts. Consider the absurd perversity here. Back when we had a rational/legitimate (and solvent) economic system, financing operated on a very basic principle of risk: the greater the risk of default, the higher the interest rate demanded by lenders. Obviously the highest rates of interest would be required with respect to any insolvent/near-insolvent debtors.
This principle is merely elementary common sense, and used to be an automatic reality of lending/borrowing. The fact that readers even need to be reminded of this basic principle indicates how far divorced from such rationality our criminal/fraudulent system has become. In the Wonderland Matrix, themore-bankrupt that a (Western) government gets, the less interest it pays on its debts (unless that nation’s name is “Greece”).
The nations of the Eurozone were also rendered hopelessly insolvent after the Crash of ’08, following the fraudulent “bail-outs” of our ultra-criminalized Big Banks. Shortly after that (i.e. shortly after these puppet governments surrendered their sovereignty), they were allowed – by their Masters, the bankers — to pay the lowest-rates-in-history on their debts, too.
Roughly seven years have transpired since then, seven years of piling more and more debt onto already-bankrupt regimes, and in which direction have Euro interest rates gone? Down. Lower and lower, first matching the insane/criminal “0%” level originally instituted by the U.S., and now even lower than that – into “negative territory”.
So-called “negative interest rates” are nothing less than open fraud/crime: borrowers literally stealing the money of lenders, rather than paying them interest on their debts. How does the equally criminal Corporate media characterize this naked theft? This from “The Economist”:
The boldness of the move to negative interest rates…
Indeed, it is certainly “bold” when the (supposedly) sovereign governments of once-legitimate Western regimes proclaim they are going to start stealing money from any/all who lend to them. How is it even possible for these governments to engage in such crime and perversity? Who would ever willingly lend to an avowed Thief?
The answer (of course) is that no one would ever lend to such a Thief, and it’s been several years since these economically (and morally) bankrupt regimes have had any bona fide “lenders”. What (they) we have instead is an openly fraudulent Ponzi-scheme where these bankrupt regimes claim to be “buying” each other’s debt.
None of these Deadbeat Debtors ever “pays” its debts, in terms of ever retiring one penny of the actual debt itself. Rather, these corrupt, Ponzi-scheme regimes simply continue to issue more and more and more of their worthless IOU’s, and then use these worthless IOU’s to “buy” each other’s debts, just to continuepaying interest on these ever-increasing mountains of debt. Try such a cheque-kiting scam with respect to your own finances, and then see how many minutes elapse before someone shows up at your door to arrest you.
However, the paradigm of ultra-bankrupt governments pretending to remain solvent by serially borrowing/lending, to/from each other is only the tip-of-the-iceberg in this surreal, sovereign fraud. What cannot be overlooked is how this insanity factors into the One Bank’s overall scheme of economic rape – i.e. stealing any and every penny of wealth possessed by the Little People.
While the borrowing/lending by our governments is now nothing but a perverse, financial sham, near-zero (and now “negative”) interest rates are a very real economic crime-against-humanity with respect to ourselves. To understand this, we must first wade through more of the perversion of economics from the Corporate media. More from The Economist on low/negative interest rates:
When an economy is struggling, it is standard practice for a central bank to cut interest rates. That makes saving less attractive and borrowing more so, boosting the amount of money being spent and kick-starting an economic recovery. But very low inflation can make a central bank’s life harder…
Most readers will not have noticed the gigantic, logical disconnect mixed in with this economic dogma. This is because illustrating (and understanding) the disconnect requires journeying to the now-distant past, back to when we had legitimate economies.
Back then, nothing was (is) more inflationary than low interest rates, themselves. Indeed, back when our economies were legitimate (and healthy) the interest rates of Western governments never, ever even approached 0%. Why not? Because before they ever got close to zero, inflation would begin spiraling higher at such an extreme pace that these governments would be required to immediately (and dramatically) raise interest rates.
Yet, in the Wonderland Matrix, we have these criminal governments imposing their near-zero/zero/negative interest rates upon us, while trying to tell us that inflation is “very low” (even “too low”). This is not remotely possible, so we would know that these governments (and Corporate media sycophants) were lying about inflation, even if we (somehow) failed to notice food and housing costs soaring higher at the most-rapid pace in our lifetime.
This brings us to the economic rape: the rape of savers – the biggest crime of these criminalized interest rates. With inflation (in the real world) at an approximate double-digit pace, but the interest paid to savers now nil (or even negative) this means that savers are raped by the full rate of this punishing inflation. This is an economic crime to which none of us have ever previously been subjected.
In any/every previous era in our history, when we had legitimate governments/economies, any time that inflation was high, interest rates were also high, to bring-down that (punishing) inflation rate. Indeed, this is what we still see all around us, in the (relatively) legitimate regimes of the Rest of the World.
What is the approach of the Traitor Governments of the “free and democratic” West? Lie about the rate of inflation, make no attempt at all to reduce it, freeze interest (savings) rates at zero, and thus allow the bankers to rape our populations for this full-percentage differential. That differential is the difference between what we lose on our money (every day) to inflation, and what we (now) fail to recover, in terms of interest on our savings.
With a “savings rate” of 0%, the annual theft-rate from savers by the banking crime syndicate is already at least 10% of our wealth per year. As savings rates now move into totally criminal, “negative” territory, and inflation (inevitably) continues to worsen, this rape-rate will continue to soar higher.
This extreme and rapid cannibalization of all savings/wealth held by Western populations is already intolerable, already an economic crime-against-humanity, and already absolute proof of the treasonous criminality of our own governments. But it gets worse.
As most readers (who are actually paying attention) are already aware, these irredeemable regimes are already rapidly moving to an even more-heinous crime – particularly when considered in conjunction with the current economic rape they are perpetrating (on behalf of their banker Masters). They are preparing to“ban cash”.
Even considered in isolation, no legitimate government (which respected the Rule of Law) would/could ever engage in such a barbaric infringement on the economic liberty of their own population. However, it is when we consider this fascist act along-side our negative interest rates/high inflation paradigm that we see this is nothing less than the worst form of treason by our governments (so far).
Currently, the Little People can choose to at least partially protect themselves from this economic rape. They can avoid having the banks steal their savings (via negative interest rates) by simply refusing to keep their “money” in one of these criminal financial institutions.
Of course this still leaves those people subject to the full ravages of our double-digit inflation. But even here, the most-astute of the Little People can protect themselves from this deliberate, criminal inflation – through converting the wealth they hold in rapidly-depreciating paper currencies into gold/silver, instead.
Gold and silver have perfectly preserved the wealth of their holders for thousands of years (i.e. they are immune to inflation). Conversely, in the thousand-year history of these dubious/fraudulent paper currencies, none have ever managed to maintain more than a tiny fraction of their value (i.e. preserve the wealth of their holders), for even a single century.
As readers were already warned previously, any “ban on cash” would be immediately followed by some form of bullion confiscation. Obviously (corrupt) governments doing everything they could to facilitate the theft of our wealth by the One Bank are not going to allow the Little People to avoid the crime of inflation, avoid the crime of negative interest rates, and maintain possession of their own wealth, simply by seeking shelterin precious metals. Such “shelter” will undoubtedly be yanked out from under us by these lawless, fascist regimes.
These are merely some of the horrific, financial consequences, from the latest (and upcoming) acts of treason…perpetrated by the worst governments that (big) money can buy.

REVOLT: MILLIONS OF N.Y. GUN OWNERS REFUSE TO REGISTER FIREARMS
Only around 24,000 New Yorkers, many of them cops, complied with gun control law
by KIT DANIELS | INFOWARS.COM | JUNE 24, 2015
Millions of New York gun owners refused to register their firearms to comply with the draconian N.Y. SAFE Act.
So far only around 24,000 gun owners, many of them cops, registered their semiautomatic rifles with the state, meaning that the law has effectively been repealed through civil disobedience.
“I am amused at the pathetically low numbers of New Yorkers who registered their so-called assault rifles,” New York State Rifle & Pistol Association President Tom King said. “The number of individuals who registered their guns is 24,000 and many of these are law-enforcement officials mandated to comply by their department.”
“New York gun owners know it is flawed and they are not complying with it. I am confident that we will ultimately prevail in getting significant portions of the law overturned in the courts.”
The SAFE Act, which created a gun registry for semiautomatic weapons using detachable magazines, was practically ignored by both gun owners and sheriffs since it was signed into law by Gov. Andrew Cuomo in 2013.
Protestors against the law marked the April 15 registration deadline by destroying state registration cards.
“They have been shredding the Constitution for years,” gun owner Rus Thompson said. “You shred the Constitution, we’ll shred any form you want us to fill out.”
“They can’t arrest a million people. What are they going to do?”
Erie Co. Sheriff Timothy B. Howard publicly said he wouldn’t enforce the SAFE Act.
“The Constitution is the law of the land,” he stated. “If you know it’s a violation of the Constitution, how can you enforce it?”
Howard described the SAFE Act as one of the strongest examples of the government not listening to the people.
“It’s an unenforceable law and I believe it will ultimately be declared unconstitutional,” he said. “Do you want law enforcement people that will say ‘I will do this because I’m told to do this, even if I know it’s wrong?’”

$140 Billion Bond Fund Goes To Cash As It “Braces For Bond-Market Collapse”
Zero Hedge
June 23, 2015
Recently, it’s become readily apparent that some of the world’s top money managers are getting concerned about what might happen when a mass exodus from bond funds collides head on with a completely illiquid secondary market for corporate credit.
Indeed, bond market illiquidity is the topic du jour and has almost become something of a cliche among pundits and mainstream financial media outlets years after we first raised the issue in these pages. But just because something has become fashionable to discuss doesn’t mean it’s not worth discussing and indeed, we’re at least pleased to see that the world is suddenly awake to the fact that a primary market supply bonanza catalyzed by rock-bottom borrowing costs and yield-starved investors could spell disaster when paired with shrinking dealer inventories.
For illustrative purposes, here’s a look at turnover in corporate credit…
Chart: Barclays
…and a snapshot of shrinking dealer inventories and ballooning bond funds…
Chart: Citi
…and finally, here’s UST market depth…
What all of these charts show is that whether you’re talking about corporate credit or “risk free” government debt, liquidity simply isn’t there and as was on full display last October, wild swings in illiquid markets will be exacerbated by the presence of parasitic HFTs.
Meanwhile, Treasury market participants are shifting to futures and corporate bond fund managers are using ETFs to offset “diversifiable” outflows, phenomena which prove investors are actively avoiding credit markets by resorting to derivatives, a practice which only serves to make the underlying markets still more illiquid.
Of course one way to mitigate risk is simply to move to cash (as we noted over the weekend, some managers are even moving to physical cash), a strategy TCW’s Jerry Cudzil is currently implementing in order to ensure he’s not one of the ones “looking silly” after the crash. Bloomberg has more:
TCW Group Inc. is taking the possibility of a bond-market selloff seriously.
So seriously that the Los Angeles-based money manager, which oversees almost $140 billion of U.S. debt, has been accumulating more and more cash in its credit funds, with the proportion rising to the highest since the 2008 crisis.
“We never realize what the tipping point is until after it happens,” said Jerry Cudzil, TCW Group’s head of U.S. credit trading. “We’re as defensive as we’ve been since pre-crisis.”
TCW isn’t alone: Bond funds are holding about 8 percent of their assets as cash-like securities, the highest proportion since at least 1999, according to FTN Financial, citing Investment Company Institute data.
Cudzil’s reasoning is that the Federal Reserve is moving toward its first interest-rate increase since 2006, and the end of record monetary stimulus will rattle the herds of investors who poured cash into risky debt to try and get some yield.
Of course, U.S. central bankers are aiming to gently wean markets and companies off zero interest-rate policies. In their ideal scenario, borrowing costs would rise slowly and steadily, debt investors would calmly absorb losses and corporate America would easily adjust to debt that’s a little less cheap amid an improving economy.
That outcome seems less and less likely to Cudzil, as volatility in the bond market climbs.
“If you distort markets for long periods of time and then you remove those distortions, you’re subject to unanticipated volatility,”said Cudzil, who traded high-yield bonds at Morgan Stanley and Deutsche Bank AG before joining TCW in 2012. He declined to specify the exact amount of cash he’s holding in the funds he runs.
Price swings will also likely be magnified by investors’ inability to quickly trade bonds, he said. New regulations have made it less profitable for banks to grease the wheels of markets that are traded over the counter and, as a result, they’re devoting fewer traders and money to the operations.
To boot, record-low yields have prompted investors to pile into the same types of risky investors — so it may be even more painful to get out with few potential buyers able to absorb mass selling.
“We think the market’s telling you to upgrade your portfolio,” Cudzil said. “Whether it happens tomorrow or in six months, do you want look silly before the market sells off or after?”
Well, preferably neither, but point taken and we would have to agree that if ever there were a time to take one’s money and run — before the realities of a dealer-less corporate credit market and/or an HTF-infested, VaR shock-prone government bond market conspire to prove, once and for all, that in today’s world, the idea that bonds are any safer than other asset classes is completely and utterly false — this is it.

#ShameOnThePontiff for trying to shame you into submission and slavery. POPE FRANCIS SAYS YOU’RE NOT CHRISTIAN IF YOU OWN A GUN
Let's not forget the Marxist pope has plenty of armed guards
Pope Francis spoke with a group of young people at a rally of thousands at the end of the first day of his trip to the Italian city of Turin.
Francis started by attacking the Right to Keep and Bear Arms as well as accusing the allies during World War Two of being complicit in the killing of Jews, Christians and homosexuals.
Francis issued his toughest condemnation to date of the weapons industry, saying.
“If you trust only men you have lost,” he told the young people in a long, rambling talk about war, trust and politics after putting aside his prepared address.
“It makes me think of … people, managers, businessmen who call themselves Christian and they manufacture weapons. That leads to a bit a distrust, doesn’t it?” he said to applause.
He also criticized those who invest in weapons industries (gun owners), saying “duplicity is the currency of today … they say one thing and do another.”
Francis also built on comments he has made in the past about events during the first and second world wars.
He spoke of the “tragedy of the Shoah,” using the Hebrew term for the Holocaust.
“The great powers had the pictures of the railway lines that brought the trains to the concentration camps like Auschwitz to kill Jews, Christians, homosexuals, everybody. Why didn’t they bomb (the railway lines)?”
It is surely an upside down world when the representative of G* on earth disparages the right to self defense and accuses the Greatest Generation of being complicit in Hitler’s genocide and the destruction of Europe and Russia.
