The Germans React To Draghi’s Monetary “Tidal Wave”
– The Germans React To Draghi’s Monetary “Tidal Wave”:
Having discussed the market’s disturbing reaction to Mario Draghi’s desperate “all in” monetary gamble – one which saw an early bout of euphoria followed by one of the most aggressive Euro spikes in history, second only to the “December debacle” and the Fed’s March 2009 announcement of QE1, we were waiting for the just as important reaction by the ECB’s nemesis: the one country that not only has seen hyperinflation first hand (and appears to recall it vividly), but is just as aware where the ECB’s monetary lunacy ends: the Germans.
We got it from Germany’s Handelsblatt, when in an article titled “The dangerous game with the money of the German savers”, the authors provide a metaphorical rendering of what is happening in Europe as follows:
They also paint an oddly accurate caricature of the man behind this last ditch monetary policy:
And write the following:
A determined ECB chief Mario Draghi plows ahead with his negative interest rate policy. The positive effects on the economy are low. Great, however, are the risks: this is the greatest redistribution of wealth in Europe since World War II.

Rothschild Bank Now Under Criminal Investigation After Baron David De Rothschild Indictment
– Rothschild Bank Now Under Criminal Investigation After Baron David De Rothschild Indictment:
Last year, Baron David de Rothschild was indicted by the French government after he was accused of fraud in a scheme that allegedly embezzled large sums of money from British pensioners.
It has taken many years to bring this case against Rothschild and his company the Rothschild Financial Services Group, which trapped hundreds of pensioners in a bogus loan scheme between the years of 2005 and 2008.
One by one the pensioners lost their money and pressed charges against the notorious banker, beginning a case that would take many years to get even an indictment.

Are You Kidding Me? Chinese Exports Plunge 25.4 Percent Compared To Last Year
– Are You Kidding Me? Chinese Exports Plunge 25.4 Percent Compared To Last Year:
We just got more evidence that global trade is absolutely imploding. Chinese exports dropped 25.4 percent during the month of February compared to a year ago, and Chinese imports fell 13.8 percent compared to a year ago. For Chinese exports, that was the worst decline that we have seen since 2009, and Chinese imports have now fallen for 16 months in a row on a year over year basis. The last time we saw numbers like this, we were in the depths of the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression of the 1930s. China accounts for more global trade than any other nation (including the United States), and so this is a major red flag. Anyone that is saying that the global economy is in “good shape” is clearly not paying attention.

Obama To Push Passage Of TPP Trade Deal Despite Rising Public Opposition
– Obama to Push Passage of TPP Trade Deal Despite Rising Public Opposition:
The United States is in the final stages of negotiating the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), a massive free-trade agreement with Mexico, Canada, Japan, Singapore and seven other countries. Who will benefit from the TPP? American workers? Consumers? Small businesses? Taxpayers? Or the biggest multinational corporations in the world?
One strong hint is buried in the fine print of the closely guarded draft. The provision, an increasingly common feature of trade agreements, is called “Investor-State Dispute Settlement,” or ISDS. The name may sound mild, but don’t be fooled. Agreeing to ISDS in this enormous new treaty would tilt the playing field in the United States further in favor of big multinational corporations. Worse, it would undermine U.S. sovereignty.

China Proposes Unprecedented Nationalization Of Insolvent Companies: Banks Will Equitize Non-Performing Loans
“While this is surely good news for the very short run, as it allows the worst of the worst in China’s insolvent corporate sector to issue even more debt, in the longer run it means that China’s total debt to GDP, which is already at 350% is about to surpass Japan’s gargantuan 400% within a year if not sooner.”
In what may be the biggest news of the day, and certainly with far greater implications than whatever Mario Draghi will announce in a few hours when we will again witness the ECB doing not “whatever it takes” but “whatever it can do”, moments ago Reuters reported that China is preparing for an unprecedented overhaul in how it treats it trillions in non-performing loans.
Recall that as we first wrote last summer, and as subsequently Kyle Bass made it the centerpiece of his “short Yuan” investment thesis, the “neutron bomb” in the heart of China’s impaired financial system is the trillions – officially at $614 billion but realistically anywhere between 8% and 20% of China’s total $35 trillion in bank assets – in non-performing loans. It is the unknown treatment of these NPLs that has been the greatest threat to China’s just as vast deposit base amounting to well over $20 trillion, which has been the fundamental catalyst behind China’s record capital flight as depositors have been eager to move their savings as far from China’s domestic banks as possible.
Guards Knew About Paris Shooting in Advance
– Eagles of Death Metal Frontman says Guards Knew About Paris Shooting in Advance:
Eagles of Death Metal lead singer, Jessie Hughes, made a stunning statement in an interview with Fox Business Network: He believes it’s possible security guards at the Bataclan Theater knew about the Paris terror attacks in advance.
As a veteran performer, Hughes realized something was odd the night leading up to the attack, when the security guard for the backstage area didn’t make eye contact with him.
“When I first got to the venue and walked in, I walked past the dude who was supposed to be the security guard for the backstage,” Hughes recalled, noting the guard’s odd demeanor.
“I immediately went to the promoter and said, ‘Who’s that guy? I want to put another dude on,’ and he goes, ‘Well, some of the other guards aren’t here yet,’ and eventually I found out that six or so wouldn’t show up at all.”

United Kingdom — A local council has become the subject of ridicule after introducing a ban on swearing in an upmarket docklands development. Those caught breaching the new rules and turning the air blue at Manchester’s The Quays will be issued an instant, on-the-spot fine of £90 under a Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) — brought in by Salford City Council — after complaints of anti-social behaviour in the area. In another example of the gentrification of Britain run wild, the council has declared that it will be a criminal offence to use “foul or abusive language”in the trendy area.

(ANTIWAR) Pentagon officials have confirmed that US ground troops were involved in a raid against an al-Shabaab-held town in Somalia, arriving by helicopter in a raid which also involved Somali forces, and which they say killed “more than 10? fighters.
The US rarely discusses its troops in Somalia, which are nominally “advisers,” Officials suggested today that the troops were again in an “advisory” role and that they didn’t go “all the way” in the raid. They were involved enough that al-Shabaab confirmed their presence.

UN Begged to Intervene After Refugees Sew Mouths Shut
FYI.
“They say they are prepared to die for this cause. It won’t be long before they do.”
– UN Begged to Intervene After Refugees Sew Mouths Shut:
Calais, France — Desperate volunteers in a Calais refugee camp have issued an urgent plea to the U.N. to recognise the plight of a group of Iranians who sewed their mouths shut a week ago. The extreme protest — joined in solidarity by a British volunteer — was initiated to draw attention to the atrocities being carried out by the French government.
The latest shocking tale to unfold from the Calais camp — known as The Jungle — began on March 1st to raise awareness of the human rights violations taking place. Homeless, jobless, and now hopeless, eight Iranian men aged between 17 and 46 sewed each other’s lips shut in the extreme form of protest against the forced evictions of the southern side of the squalid camp. Their bold move has been supported by British volunteer, Tom Radcliffe, who has joined in solidarity.

Watch Woman Confront the Undercover Cop Who Tricked Her Into a 2 Year Relationship
– Watch Woman Confront the Undercover Cop Who Tricked Her Into a 2 Year Relationship:
United Kingdom — British activist Helen Steel, who was duped into a relationship with an undercover spy, has confronted the former Metropolitan police officer at Sydney airport. Social justice campaigner Steel flew from London to Australia to meet John Dines, with whom she had a two year relationship before realising she was a victim of state-backed deception.Steel met Dines in 1987 when she was a Greenpeace activist. Within six months of beginning a relationship, they moved in together, planned to buy a house, and talked of starting a family — before he had a supposed breakdown and completely disappeared.
Heartbroken and distraught, Steel started a painstaking search for the man she thought she would spend the rest of her life with, and spent years attempting to piece together his identity. Her search for truth finally led to the discovery that the man she knew as John Barker was actually John Dines — a member of the special demonstration squad — who had even used the name of a dead child in his state-backed identity forging.

Leaking Beachfront Nuclear Reactor Near Miami Threatening Florida Everglades
– Leaking Beachfront Nuclear Reactor Near Miami Threatening Florida Everglades:
According to a study released by Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez on Monday, the waters of Biscayne Bay measured 215 times the level of radioactive tritium as is found in normal ocean water.
Tritium is a radioactive isotope traceable to nuclear plant cooling tower operations. In this case, the leak appears to be emanating from the aging canals in the Turkey Point Nuclear Generating Station located nearby.

The Incredible Story Of How Hackers Stole $100 Million From The New York Fed
– The Incredible Story Of How Hackers Stole $100 Million From The New York Fed:
The story of the theft of $100 million from the Bangladesh central bank – by way of the New York Federal Reserve – is getting more fascinating by the day.
As we reported previously, on February 5, Bill Dudley’s New York Fed was allegedly “penetrated” when “hackers” (of supposed Chinese origin) stole $100 million from accounts belonging to the Bangladesh central bank. The money was then channeled to the Philippines where it was sold on the black market and funneled to “local casinos” (to quote AFP). After the casino laundering, it was sent back to the same black market FX broker who promptly moved it to “overseas accounts within days.”
That was the fund flow in a nutshell.

Draghi Delivers The Bazooka: ECB Announces Surprise Refi, Marginal Rate Cuts; Boosts QE To €80BN, Adds IG Bonds
Well, the people wanted a “bazooka-sized” surprise from Draghi, and they got it.
Moments ago the ECB announced not only a 10 bps cut to the deposit rate expected pushing it to -40%, but also announced a 5 bp rate cut to the refinance (pushing it to 0.00%) and the marginal lending rate (now at 0.25%), and also boosted QE by €20bn to €80 billion per month, the addition of afour new targeted TLTROs each with a maturity of 4 years, but the most surprising announcement was that the ECB would also for the first time include investment grade euro-denominated bonds issued by non-bank corporations along the list of assets that are eligible for regular purchases.
In other words, Draghi finally delivered his bazooka.

Here you can look at all entries I’ve tagged under “vacination”:
http://www.infiniteunknown.net/tag/vaccination/
An Australian Health Minister named Jill Hennessy has just uttered the most insanely stupid, anti-science quackery ever recorded on the subject of vaccines. As part of her imperial push to poison and cripple as many Australian children (including Aborigine children) as possible, she has publicly insisted that there are “no risks in vaccinating children.”
Australia is a vaccine police state run by pro-vaccine terrorists who threaten, intimidate and engage in the physical assault of people who speak out against the false narratives of so-called “vaccine safety.” Jill Hennessy empowers these vaccine terrorists when she utters such insanely stupid statements, and she puts the lives of tens of millions of children at risk.
Who Is To Blame For The Rape Epidemic That Is Sweeping Across Europe?
– Who Is To Blame For The Rape Epidemic That Is Sweeping Across Europe?:
Millions of women in Europe are now deathly afraid to walk outside their own homes at night, and with each passing day more news reports of absolutely horrific rapes and sexual assaults come pouring in from all over the continent. So who is to blame for this epidemic of rape? I think that the answer might surprise you, because a very famous politician in the United States is at least partially responsible. But first, let’s examine why women all over Europe are living in such fear right now. I have written previously about this rape epidemic, but since that time it has gotten even worse. At this point, this plague is even affecting small towns in the far northern portions of the continent. For example, just consider what is happening in a small town in northern Sweden known as Ostersund…

10/03/2016 – UPPSALA, Sweden – No candy bars, so migrant torched home
A 16 year old Afghan migrant to Sweden has been sentenced to juvenile detention after he burned down his migrant accommodation, which had dozens of other minors and government staff in at the time. The young man had told staff there if they didn’t buy him candy, he’d “destroy everything”, yet despite the threat was still allowed to carry a cigarette lighter, reports Aftonbladet. Days later, he building was razed to the ground.
The court heard how the boy had been extremely violent toward staff, throwing plant pots at them and attempting to extort money. It is reported that before he set the fire, the migrant also cut the cables to the smoke detector, and the building was completely destroyed.

10/03/2016 – SVEAVAGEN, Sweden – Violent rapist charged
An “African” man who violently assaulted a woman in Sweden in December is being prosecuted for attempted rape and aggravated robbery. The 27 year old reportedly struck his female victim from behind and beat her “excessively” around the head and face, leaving her with skin abrasions and a shattered nose.
The woman passed out due to the beating she received, but that didn’t stop the man continuing to punch and kick her, and attempting to rape her. It isn’t clear whether he succeeded but the woman was admitted to hospital with “semen on her underwear”, reports Aftonbladet. The man was arrested when, two days later, he used his victim’s bus pass and was caught on security camera.
