Here’s Who NATO Will Probably Be Fighting If There’s a World War III – #WW3

Here’s Who NATO Will Probably Be Fighting If There’s a World War III:

Russia recently said it would support Iran’s bid to join the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, an emerging economic and political alliance led by China. This Shanghai Bloc was originally formed in 1996 before it was rebranded in 2001. Its membership includes Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan. Last year, India and Pakistan also signed the memorandum of obligations and are expected to become full members sometime this year. The bloc has expanded into a military organization over the last few years and has run joint military exercises in the past.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Iran now fully fits the criteria for membership and that discussions on its bid to join will take place this summer.

“Next in line [for membership]…is Iran, which has resolved issues related to sanctions from the U.N. Security Council,” Lavrov told Russian state news agency Itar-Tass, as reported by Newsweek.

Currency Wars Continue As Kazakh Currency Crashes 25% After Peg Abandoned

Physical gold and silver protect nicely against a crashing currency.

And the people in Kazakhstan, who think they are protected by having their money in dollar accounts, will one day be wiped out.


Currency Wars Continue As Kazakh Currency Crashes 25% After Peg Abandoned (ZeroHedge, Aug 20, 2015):

On Tuesday we remarked on the increasingly perilous plight of yet another country whose economy has come under increased pressure from plunging oil prices and China’s move to devalue the yuan: Kazakhstan.

Just one day after allowing the tenge to fall sharply in the interbank market and no longer able to take the pain from falling crude prices, the country moved to a free float for the tenge overnight, causing the currency to plunge by a quarter.

20150820_KZT

 The move is clearly a desperate attempt to preserve export competitiveness in the face of a falling rouble and a devalued yuan. This is the third time the country’s central bank has devalued the currency since 1999 – the last time was in February of 2014.

The End Game Continues: Austria Repatriates Gold

The End Game Continues: Austria Repatriates Gold (ZeroHedge, May 27, 2015):

After Germany and the Netherlands decided to repatriate a substantial amount of gold from vaults abroad to the vaults in respectively Amsterdam and Frankfurt, now Austria is joining the ‘bring our gold home’ movement.

After increasing pressure from the Austrian people on the government and the central bank to increase the ratio of the gold effectively held in the Austrian Central Bank in Vienna, the central bank has finally made the decision to effectively do so. Less than 20% of Austria’s (relatively) sizeable gold reserves were held in its own vaults with the remainder being stored in Switzerland and London. Austria will now remove 63% of the gold from London and transport it to both Switzerland and Austria. This will be an interesting test case to see how long it will take the Bank of England to ship the 140 tonnes of gold (4.5 million ounces) to Vienna, and we dare to bet this will either take much longer than anticipated, or we’ll suddenly see another gold withdrawal from the Federal Reserve which will very likely be the magical 125-150 tonnes number.

Vladimir Putin Proposes “Eurasian” Currency Union

Vladimir Putin Proposes “Eurasian” Currency Union (ZeroHedge, March 20, 2015):

While the distraction that is the stock market continues to enthrall most Americans, the big shots in the global monetary which for now are taking place behind the scenes, are getting ever louder. Several recent cases in point:

One person who is paying attention to the failure of the US to grasp that the unipolar world of the 1980s is long gone, is Russia’s Vladimir Putin, who earlier today proposed creating a “Eurasian” currency union which would have Belarus and Kazakhstan as its first members, which already are Russia’s partners in a political and economic union made up of former Soviet republics.

Sinister Sites – Astana, Khazakhstan

topastan

Sinister Sites – Astana, Khazakhstan (Vigilant Citizen, March 7, 2009):

Astana is the first capital being built in the 21st century and it perfectly represents  where the world is headed. It is truly one man’s vision: Nursultan Nazarbayev, the president of Kazakhstan (yes Borat’s country, I know). Backed by billions of petrodollars, the city is being built from scratch in a remote and deserted area of  the Asian steppes. The result is astonishing: a futuristic occult capital, embracing the New World Order while celebrating the most ancient religion known to man: Sun Worship. The city is still a huge construction site, but the buildings that are already completed already sum up Nazarbayev’s occult vision.

Who’s Isolated Now? Kazakhstan Authorities Announce Plans To De-Dollarize Economy

Who’s Isolated Now? Kazakhstan Authorities Announce Plans To De-Dollarize Economy (ZeroHedge, March 5, 2015):

Following the approval of the government, Kazakhstan’s Central Bank has announced it plans to de-dollarize its economy by the end of 2016. The goal is to avoid the macroeconomic instability that the USD creates and to give priority to Tenge in trade agreements (banning price designations in foreign exchange). Coming just 2 weeks after the ratification of the $100 billion BRICS bank, and Russia’s creation of a SWIFT-alternative, one wonders – as one by one foreign nations agree non-dollar trade and swap agreements – who is becoming ‘isolated’ now?

China Proposing To Establish Free Trade Zone With Eurasian Economic Union

China Proposing to Establish Free Trade Zone With Eurasian Economic Union (Sputnik, Feb 9, 2015):

China proposed to the Eurasian Economic Union to think about creation of a free trade zone in the future, according to Russian Ambassador to China Andrei Denisov.

 BEIJING, (Sputnik) — China offered to establish a free trade zone with the Eurasian Economic Union in the future, Russian Ambassador to China Andrei Denisov told RIA Novosti.
“Chinese partners were very careful in regard to this integration in the beginning. They simply needed to make sure that it works. Now they show interest in increasing cooperation not only with the separate countries – Kazakhstan, Belarus, Russia, Armenia and Kyrgyzstan in the future, but with the union as such. And as far as I know they even proposed to us, the members of the union, to think about creation of a free trade zone in the future,” Denisov said.

Kazakhstan Prepares For $40 Oil, Gary Schilling Says “Oil Going To $20”

Dont-worry-be-happy

– Kazakhstan Prepares For $40 Oil, Gary Schilling Says “Oil Going To $20” (ZeroHedge, Dec 22, 2014):

“People should not be worried,” explained Kazakhstan President Nursultan Nazarbayev in a TV address over the weekend, “we have a plan in place if oil prices are $40 per barrel.” Kazakhstan, the second largest ex-Soviet oil producer after Russia, explains “there are reserves which could support people, preventing living conditions from worsening.” However, if A. Gary Schilling’s reality check of $20 oil being possible comes to fruition, as he explains, what matters are marginal costs – the expense of retrieving oil once the holes have been drilled and pipelines laid. That number is more like $10 to $20 a barrel in the Persian Gulf… We wonder who has a plan for that?

Sleepy Hollow in Kazakhstan: Villagers suffer from unknown brain-affecting disease

Sleepy Hollow in Kazakhstan: Villagers suffer from unknown brain-affecting disease (RT, Dec 14, 2014):

Every tenth villager of Kazakhstan’s Kalachi has unexpectedly fallen asleep in broad daylight – some unable to wake up for several days. Despite numerous attempts to find the cause of the inexplicable disorder, the Sleepy Hollow riddle remains unsolved.

Over 600 residents of Kalachi village in Kazakhstan’s north may have never read Washington Irving’s Legend of Sleepy Hollow, or watched the popular American TV series or film – but they do refer to their homeland as “Sleepy Hollow,” as everyone here is scared of an indiscriminate illness that has no cure.

People in Kalachi have been suffering from the “sleep epidemic” – as they call it – for the past couple of years. Everyone in the village has a family member or a friend who’s fallen asleep for no apparent reason, with over 100 people having experienced it by now – some more than once – according to locals.

Putin Signs Secret Pact To Crush NATO

Putin Signs Secret Pact To Crush NATO (Casey Research, Nov 6, 2014):

Back on September 11 and 12, there was a summit meeting in a city that involved an organization that most Americans have never heard of. Mainstream media coverage was all but nonexistent.

The place was Dushanbe, the capital of Tajikistan, a country few Westerners could correctly place on a map.

But you can bet your last ruble that Vladimir Putin knows exactly where Tajikistan is. Because the group that met there is the Russian president’s baby. It’s the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), consisting of six member states: Russia, China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan.
