Captured ISIS fighter says ‘trained in Turkey, ISIS thinks it’s safer here than Syria’

– Captured ISIS fighter says ‘trained in Turkey, ISIS thinks it’s safer here than Syria’:

Turkey is training Islamic State terrorists in a camp disguised as a training ground for the Free Syrian Army, a 20-year-old jihadist captured by the Kurdish YPG told Sputnik. The prisoner said Ankara’s help to the “moderate” Syrian opposition is not as innocent as portrayed.

Captured by the Kurdish People’s Protection Unit (YPG) fighters in Northern Syria in November, Abdurrahman Abdulhadi, a Syrian national-turned Daesh (Islamic State) fighter, says he was trained in Turkey before receiving his first assignment with Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL).

Obamacare Is Sucking Up To 10% Of Americans’ Incomes

– Obamacare Is Sucking Up To 10% Of Americans’ Incomes:

The latest dilemma facing economists is why “unequivocally good” low oil prices haven’t sparked excuberant consumer spending across America. We have discussed the simple (though awkward for the establishment) answer many times – soaring costs for ‘shelter’ and healthcare have hoovered up every penny saved (and more); and now, a new study proves it– exposing the reality that many Obamacare customers pay more than 10 percent of their incomes toward coverage (and some paying considerably more).

Christmas Day Condom Catastrophe

by

– Monday Humor? Christmas Day Condom Catastrophe:

As Americans stuffed their faces with food and stuffed their sacks with gifts, three young German men had another ‘stuffing’ on their mind. As The Guardian reports, a man died on Christmas Day in Germany after he was hit in the head by a flying piece of metal from a condom machine that he and two accomplices blew up in an apparent robbery attempt.

The 29-year-old man was taken to hospital in the western town of Schöppingen, near the Dutch border, by the two other men who fled the scene of the explosion in a car, leaving behind condoms and money scattered around the gutted vending machine.

European Nations Such As Sweden And Denmark Are ‘Eradicating Cash’

by

… “eradicating cash” by the year 2030?

That’s then after the greatest economic collapse in world history, civil war and WW3.

Cashless-Society

– European Nations Such As Sweden And Denmark Are “Eradicating Cash”:

Did you know that 95 percent of all retail sales in Sweden are cashless?  And did you know that the government of Denmark has a stated goal of “eradicating cash” by the year 2030?  All over the world, we are seeing a relentless march toward a cashless society, and nowhere is this more true than in northern Europe.  In Sweden, hundreds of bank branches no longer accept or dispense cash, and thousands of ATM machines have been permanently removed.  At this point, bills and coins only account for just 2 percent of the Swedish economy, and many stores no longer take cash at all.  The notion of a truly “cashless society” was once considered to be science fiction, but now we are being told that it is “inevitable”, and authorities insist that it will enable them to thwart criminals, terrorists, drug runners, money launderers and tax evaders.  But what will we give up in the process?

Along with the currencies of most other commodity-exporting countries, the Canadian dollar has been in near-freefall lately.

Gold, meanwhile, has been sucked down with the rest of the commodities complex, falling hard since 2013. But only in US dollars. For Canadians, with their weak domestic currency, gold has been behaving just fine. It’s up 17% in C$ terms over the past two years and looks ready to rally from here:

Protection from currency trouble is why people own it, and why in the vast majority of places it’s owners are very happy.

Amla (Indian Gooseberry) Works As Well As Leading Diabetes Drug Without Side Effects (Video)

by

I recommend you get yourself some raw (dried below 42°C) organic Amla powder, still containing all those enzymes and a very high amount of vitamin C.

Berries, like blueberries, cranberries and raspberries, are also very good in helping to cure diabetes.

They are the perfect cell & pipe cleaners for the entire body, removing plaque from veins & arteries and inner organs.

Chokeberry (Aronia) is good too.

Well, there is more, actually a lot more out there, that that does help to cure diabetes.

Warmongering Pays: US Foreign Arms Sales Soar 35%

– Warmongering Pays – US Foreign Arms Sales Soar 35%:

If ever there was a clearer indication of America’s “need for war” it was the latest Durable Goods orders data, which confirmed, absent defense spending, the US economy is in a tail-spin. However, as NYTimes reports, foreign arms sales by the United States jumped by almost $10 billion in 2014, about 35 percent, even as the global weapons market remained flat and competition among suppliers increased, thanks to multibillion-dollar agreements with Qatar, Saudi Arabia and South Korea.

Defense Spending New Orders has soared 148% in the last 3 months… the biggest rise since 2007

But it is the US arms sales to foreigners that is really flourising. Despite a stagnant international weapons market and increased competition among suppliers, American foreign weapons receipts rose from $26.7 billion to $36.2 billion last year. According to a new congressional report, as The NY Times reports…

– Slumlord – How Warren Buffet’s Clayton Homes Intentionally Targets & Preys Upon Minorities and Poor People:

It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you’ll do things differently.

– Warren Buffett

He walked them through Clayton-built homes on the lot, then into the sales center, passing a banner and posters promoting one subprime lender: Vanderbilt Mortgage, a Clayton subsidiary. Inside, he handed them a Vanderbilt sales pamphlet.

“Vanderbilt is the only one that finances on the reservation,” he told the women.

His claim, which the women caught on tape, was a lie. And it was illegal.

In minority communities, Clayton’s grip on the lending market verges on monopolistic: Last year, according to federal data, Clayton made 72% of the loans to black people who financed mobile homes.

– The Mystery Of Dubai’s Vaporized Gold: The Plot Thickens:

Earlier this week, we told a fascinating story about an unprecedented, multi-year smuggling ring involving Turkey, Iran, and Dubai (as well as China, Russia and countless other nations) which saw corruption reaching to the very top of the political and financial establishment: from president Erdogan in Turkey, to one of Turkey’s richest people, Iran-born Riza Sarraf, to Sheikh Sultan Bin Khalifa Al Nahyan, the son of the ruler of Abu Dhabi and one of the world’s richest people. The smuggled object in question was gold, billions of dollars worth of gold.
