For Greeks The Nightmare Is Just Beginning: Here Come The Depositor Haircuts

July 1, 2015 by Infinite

– For Greeks The Nightmare Is Just Beginning: Here Come The Depositor Haircuts (ZeroHedge, June 30, 2015):

With capital controls already imposed on Greece, some have wondered if this is as bad as it gets. Unfortunately, as the Cyprus “template” has already shown us, for Greece the nightmare on Eurozone street is just beginning.

As a reminder, over the past few months there have been recurring rumors that as part of its strong-arming tactics the ECB may eventually move to raise the haircuts the Bank of Greece is required to apply to assets pledged by Greek banks as collateral for ELA. The idea is to ensure the haircuts are representative of both the deteriorating condition of Greece’s banking sector and the decreased likelihood that Athens will reach a deal with its creditors.

Flashback to April when, on the heels of a decree by the Greek government that mandated the sweep of “excess” cash balances from local governments to the Bank of Greece’s coffers, Bloomberg reported that the ECB was considering three options for haircuts on ELA collateral posted by Greek banks. “Haircuts could be returned to the level of late last year, before the ECB eased its Greek collateral requirements; set at 75 percent; or set at 90 percent,” Bloomberg wrote, adding that “the latter two options could be applied if Greece is in an ‘orderly default’ under a formal ECB program or a ‘disorderly default.’”

Oklahoma Residents can now SUE Fracking companies for damages — Supreme Court Rules (7/01/2015)

– 7/01/2015 — Oklahoma Residents can now SUE Fracking companies for damages — Supreme Court Rules (Dutchsinse, July 1, 2015):

Huge victory against oil / gas companies causing damage via fracking/injection earthquakes !

After a series of dark moments for freedom in Oklahoma, and Texas (when state legislators passed laws which PREVENT locals from being able to stop fracking in their own towns) now the Oklahoma Supreme Court has issued a ruling which could be a game changer for the entire fracking industry.

Residents can now sue fracking companies for damages to their property , and personal health caused by fracking earthquakes.

This all stems from a case where a woman had her house chimney collapse in upon her during the large M5.7 2011 fracking earthquake in Oklahoma.

At the time, professionals tried to DENY there was any relation between the huge swarm of earthquakes, and the fracking operations.

Not trusting anything on face value, I actually pulled satellite images to see what was at the location, what I found was shocking.

When researchers such as myself have reported that the United States is funding al-Qaeda, Nusra, ISIS and other related terror organizations in Syria, we were not kidding. Still, despite the fact that even the U.S. government itself hasadmitted that it was funding terrorists– directly and indirectly through Saudi Arabia, the suggestion was met with disbelief, ridicule, or either entirely ignored.

Now, however, the United States government has admitted that it funds terrorists on the ground in Syria yet again, this time placing an individual dollar amount on the assistance provided.

I have plenty to say on the topic of this essay. But the most important thing I think is that I know the EU is blowing up itself by trying to exert far too much influence on the very member nations that made its existence possible. Brussels is a blind city. To see it blowing itself to smithereens makes me very happy.

The flipside is that it will take a lot of pain, and probably even the very wars the EU was originally founded to prevent, to figuratively burn it to the ground. But that, if you’ll allow me, is for another day:

The new bank will provide money for infrastructure and development projects in BRICS countries, that is Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. Each nation will have an equal say in the bank’s management, regardless of GDP size.

Each BRICS member is expected to contribute an equal share in establishing a startup capital of $50 billion, with a goal of reaching $100 billion in capitalization. The BRICS bank will be headquartered in Shanghai, with India presiding as president during the first year, and Russia serving as the chairman of the representatives.

Libbe HaLevy, host: This is once they have left Japan? In other words, it is the lack of the radiation that allows them to then have these reactions?

I find blood, and they don’t want to tell me that they have these reactions, they’re embarrassed. Tokiko’s son [from Koriyama, Fukushima] vomited the whole first week practically, and diarrhea. We actually took him to the hospital because we felt that he was dehydrated. They did run tests, and they said yes he was dehydrated. So he was kept overnight at the Hilo hospital on the big island and cared for.

Mysterious crop patterns appear near Stonehenge (VIDEO)

FYI.

– Mysterious crop patterns appear near Stonehenge (VIDEO) (RT, June 30, 2015):

Drone footage has revealed two elaborate new crop patterns in the English county of Wiltshire, home of the iconic Stonehenge circle. The images were captured by MrGro, a website that publishes drone videos of the mysterious shapes.

Since the 1960s, the phenomena have been cited as evidence of the existence of extra-terrestrials, but sightings of irregular crop patterns date back to as early as the 1600s.

The team at MrGro, however, have an alternative theory about these particular curved crop shapes.

“Are these circles mysterious? In our opinion, no they’re not,” they say in a blog post linked to the video. While the patterns are distinctly “alien looking” there are a few sound reasons why they probably aren’t.

The autocratic leader spent the weekend with his guest at a vacation home amid the peaks of southern Siberia, according to local reports.

Although a spokesman for Putin confirmed the reports – so far no pictures have been released.

However the leader of a dance troop claimed she performed for Putin and Berlusconi at the remote retreat in the Altai Mountains.

Berlusconi, known to be a close friend of Putin’s, has previously hosted the Russian leader’s family at his villa on the Italian island of Sardinia.

(Questa pagina verrà presto tradotta in Italiano)

– Silvio Berlusconi:

Dear all,

I want to tell you a story that probably you haven’t heard before. Never mind: the majority of Italians didn’t hear it either. It’s about our Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, a very important person, you might say.

You probably know of his inappropriate behavior at international meetings or his sex scandals. Maybe you already know about his corruption allegations or his trials for financial crimes.

But there’s more, much more, and you are not going to believe it.

Current investigations are uncovering a dreadful picture: there are witnesses, written documents and even phone tapings that show tight and long-lasting ties between Mr. Berlusconi and the sicilian Mafia.

The story begins in the seventies, when Mr. B started as an house-builder. The source of the conspicuous financial support needed to run his company is still a mystery: Berlusconi formally refuses to disclose where he took the money. Massimo Ciancimino, son of Vito Ciancimino, an influential politician and a member of the mafia deceased in 2002, reveals that his father invested lots of money in Berlusconi’s companies. There are documents recapitulating the details of the investments and there is the testimony of Ciancimino’s widow saying that Mr B and Vito Ciancimino met several times in Milan.

In the seventies, Berlusconi hosted in his house a mafia killer, Vittorio Mangano, probably to protect his family from threats of kidnapping. Mangano was later judged guilty of man slaughter and drug smuggling.

Moreover, Berlusconi’s right-hand man, Marcello Dell’Utri, has been recently found guilty of connection with mafia by the court of appeal of Palermo. Dell’Utri is considered to be the link between Berlusconi and the mafia bosses.

There are many evidences of money going from Berlusconi to the sicilian mafia: one cheque of 25 million lire (in 1980); a letter written by Ciancimino to the boss Bernardo Provenzano, talking about how to allocate Berlusconi’s money; a ledger accounting of a “gift” of 5 million lire to a clan of mafia by “Canale 5”, one of Berlusconi’s television stations.

There is such a wealth of evidences linking Berlusconi to the mafia that listing all of them becomes a boring exercise…

In order to increase his business and his power, Berlusconi joined the secret masonic lodge “P2”, an organization who’s goal was to take control of all the institutions of the Italian Republic, making a silent coup. When this scheme was discovered, Mr. B. returned to the good old methods: funding political parties and bribing politicians. He was a great friend of Bettino Craxi, former prime minister of the socialist party, whom he bribed with 24 billion lire in order to keep his television companies in business. Berlusconi was busy in many other great activities, such as: false accounting, bribing tax police officers, bribing judges, bribing witnesses.

But the most important part of this story starts in 1992, when the mafia was seriously hit by the confirmation of the verdicts of the Maxi Trial: several bosses were sent to serve life sentences. The mafia reacted killing the politician Salvo Lima in march, as punishment for not being able to “adjust” the Maxi Trial and as a warning for Giulio Andreotti (in 2003 Andreotti was found guilty of mafia, but the crime ceased to be valid as a result of the statute of limitations). The mafia later understood that in order to achieve their goals and to get the politicians to do what they wanted, a terroristic campaign was needed.

So they gave up killing people with guns and they started using bombs, causing numerous victims, remarkable damages and, above all, a huge impact in the public opinion. The first target was Giovanni Falcone, one of the magistrates that prepared the Maxi Trial. The second target was Paolo Borsellino, colleague and friend of Falcone, another implacable enemy of the mafia.

At that point, a negotiation started between the mafia and the State: the mafia would cease it’s terroristic attacks in exchange for the State’s indulgence.

But in 1992 another remarkable transition was going on: the old political system started collapsing under the weight of the corruption scandals. This meant that the old politicians couldn’t guarantee any agreement.

The mafia lost the connection with political leaders and had to establish new connections. But the situation was not clear yet: they even thought to make their own separatist party. But regadless of their next political interlocutor, in order to make a better deal they continued their terroristic strategy: in 1993 they put bombs in Florence, Milan and Rome and they planned a massacre of carabinieri at the Olympic stadium of Rome, but luckily this plan was called off.

It was in this scenery that Marcello Dell’Utri convinced Berlusconi to found a new party and to run for elections. The mafia promptly decided to entrust Berlusconi as the new political reference. Indeed, it is believed that the mafia interrupted it’s terroristic strategy because it reached an agreement with Berlusconi and Dell’Utri. In the summer of 2009 the witness Salvatore Spatuzza, confirmed this hypothesis by declaring that his boss, Filippo Graviano, the organizer of the slaughterings of Florence, Milan and Rome, said that those slaughterings convinced Berlusconi to: “[…] put the Country in their hands“.

Since then, Berlusconi and Dell’Utri are under investigation for slaughtering and recently the prosecutors had an extension of one year for further investigations: this means that they found something worth delving into.

Of course, nobody* writes about that in Italy.

(*except few couragious giournalists like Marco Travaglio and I l Fatto Quotidiano)

And probably, sadly enough, nobody would care…

It is the Rothschilds who play and control all sides and are behind the French revolution, the Russian revolution, WWI, WWII (And yes, they have funded Hitler and Stalin!) and NOW WWIII:

Greece Becomes First Developed Country To Default To The IMF

Faced with almost impossible choices…

And just as promised earlier in the week, Greece has now passed the midnight deadline for repayment of the €1.6 billion bundled loans due to the IMF and in thus in default.

Yes we are fully aware that using the pejorative term ‘default’ makes us members of the ignorati, but what else do you call it when you fail to pay back a contracted debt in a timely fashion? (and don’t say ‘arrears’) Anything else is semantics.

*IMF SAYS GREECE FAILED TO MAKE PAYMENT DUE TUESDAY

*IMF TO CONSIDER GREEK REQUEST FOR PAYMENT DELAY IN DUE COURSE

*IMF BOARD INFORMED THAT GREECE IS NOW IN ARREARS

“I can also confirm that the IMF received a request today from the Greek authorities for an extension of Greece’s repayment obligation that fell due today, which will go to the IMF’s Executive Board in due course,” IMF spokesman Gerry Rice says in e-mailed statement.

This is the first time an advanced economy has defaulted to The IMF and is by far the largest default The IMF has ever faced.

June 30, 2015 by Infinite

– The Mood On The Ground In Greece: “Some Have Raised The Prospect Of Civil War” (ZeroHedge, June 29, 2015):

Earlier today, John O’Connell, CEO of Davis Rea, spoke to Canada’s BNN from what may be Greece’s top tourist attraction, the island of Santorini, to give a sense of the “mood on the ground.” Not surprisingly, his feedback was that, at least as far as tourists are concerned, nobody is worried. After all, it is not their funds that are capital constrained plus should the Drachma return as the local currency, the purchasing power of foreigners will skyrocket.

What he did point out, however, that was quite notable is the diametrically opposing views between old and young Greeks when it comes to Grexit. According to O’Connell, “the old people want to vote for Europe cause they have a lot to lose, they have their pensions, but the younger population – they are already poor, they are already unemployed – and they don’t have much to lose. Their attitude is it’s going to be tough, it’s already tough, and so why not just move on go back to the Drachma, and they’re ok with that. Their attitude is in 5 to 10 years I’ll be better off. They believe there’s a lot of misinformation. They believe they’re being pressured by European countries particularly Germany that are holding them to very difficult terms.”

The Emergence Of Orwellian Newspeak And The Death Of Free Speech

June 30, 2015 by Infinite

– The Emergence of Orwellian Newspeak and the Death of Free Speech (Rutherford Institute, June 29, 2015):

“If you don’t want a man unhappy politically, don’t give him two sides to a question to worry him; give him one. Better yet, give him none. Let him forget there is such a thing as war. If the government is inefficient, top-heavy, and tax-mad, better it be all those than that people worry over it…. Give the people contests they win by remembering the words to more popular songs or the names of state capitals or how much corn Iowa grew last year. Cram them full of noncombustible data, chock them so damned full of ‘facts’ they feel stuffed, but absolutely ‘brilliant’ with information. Then they’ll feel they’re thinking, they’ll get a sense of motion without moving. And they’ll be happy, because facts of that sort don’t change.” ? Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451

How do you change the way people think? You start by changing the words they use.

In totalitarian regimes—a.k.a. police states—where conformity and compliance are enforced at the end of a loaded gun, the government dictates what words can and cannot be used. In countries where the police state hides behind a benevolent mask and disguises itself as tolerance, the citizens censor themselves, policing their words and thoughts to conform to the dictates of the mass mind.
