– Federal Reserve Confirms Biggest Foreign Gold Withdrawal In Over Ten Years (ZeroHedge):
A week ago, when we reported that in a stunning move, the “Dutch Central Bank Secretly Withdrew 122 Tons Of Gold From The New York Fed“, and when looking at the NY Fed’s monthly reports of gold deposits by foreign entities, we observed that “we can see that while the 5 tons outflow in 2013 was most likely Germany, the recent surge in gold repatriation from Liberty 33 was the Netherlands. That said, only 77.5 tons of NY deposits gold has been officially repatriated through September, which means the October update, when it comes out, will be a doozy.” Yesterday, the long anticipated October update of “earmarked gold” held on deposit at the NY Fed was released, and sure enough it did not disappoint. Declining in dollar value from $8.305 billion to $8.248 billion, this was the equivalent of 42 tonnes of gold being withdrawn, in the process reducing net gold located in the vault of JPMorgan the NY Fed to 6,076 tonnes. The 42 tonnes withdrawal was also the biggest single monthly redemption from the NY Fed since 2001.
So with the 119 tonnes of gold withdrawn so far in 2014, it is now abundantly clear that the “logistical complications” excuse used by Germany to halt its own gold repatriation program was nothing but a lie to cover up what, as Deutsche Bank explained earlier this month, was an escalation of “diplomatic difficulties” between the US and Germany, one in which Germany has folded, if only for now.

– ‘Star Trek-like shields’: New radiation belt protects Earth from ‘killer electrons’ (RT):
Surrounded by radiation belts, Earth is being protected by an invisible shield that stops high-speed “killer electrons,” scientists have found after taking a closer look at the Van Allen belt 7,200 miles above our planet.
“Somewhat like the shields created by force fields on Star Trek that were used to repel alien weapons, we are seeing an invisible shield blocking these electrons,” the study’s lead author, Daniel Baker of the University of Colorado’s Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics explained. “It’s an extremely puzzling phenomenon.”
This previously unknown phenomenon has been discovered by probes aimed at examining the so-called Van Allen belts, zones of donut-shaped rings around our planet.
Until March 2013, scientists assumed there were only two belts, filled with high-energy electrons and protons, surrounding Earth.

The Internal Revenue Service may have given thousands of confidential filings from private taxpayers to the White House to review, a lawsuit against the Treasury Department just revealed.
The suit, filed against Treasury’s inspector general by Cause of Action, a legal advocacy outfit, reveals a steady stream of communication went on between the White House and the IRS — a potentially “improper” stream, the group alleged, The Daily Caller reported.

– Anonymous posts KKK leader’s personal data online in ongoing war over Ferguson (RT):
Hacktivists aligned with the Anonymous movement have published credit card numbers and other personal information allegedly belonging to a leading Ku Klux Klan member amidst a grudge between the groups fueled by recent protests in Ferguson, Missouri.
Members of the loose-knit hacktivist collective have taken aim at the Klan in recent weeks after the KKK threatened to use lethal force against demonstrations descending on Ferguson to protest the August 9 killing of unarmed teenager Michael Brown by local police officer Darren Wilson. The feud between the groups has only escalated in the days since, though, and now Anons are circulating what they claim to be sensitive details about a powerful Klansman and his family.
Through a Twitter account formerly associated with the KKK but compromised by Anons earlier this month, hacktivists posted on Wednesday this week a trove of data purported to pertain to Frank Ancona, the self-described Imperial Wizard of the Missouri-based Traditionalist American Knights of the Ku Klux Klan.

– Ferguson: Army National Guard troops taunt, arrest dozens of protesters with force (Video) (Intellihub):
Scores of Army National Guard and troops and police gang up to arrest protesters in street
(Video Source: DAHBOO7/YouTube)
FERGUSON, Mo. (INTELLIHUB.COM) — Youtuber DAHBOO7 managed to capture priceless video footage, on scene, as hundreds gathered on a city street, protesting the non-indictment of officer Darren Wilson, the cop who shot and killed 18-year-old Michael Brown.
“Oh crap, here they come”, DAHBOO7 said, referring to the military and police gathering in an adjacent parking lot.
“They thinks it’s a game”, yelled protesters loudly in the street.
“Who’s streets. Our streets”, they chanted. “Not the police streets”.
Then, about 4-minutes into the video, the protest suddenly takes a turn for the worst.
“Oh they’re chasing em’. Oh Shit!” DAHBOO7 says.
At this point, the military and police call out on a loud-speaker, “You are in violation of state law. […] You are subject to arrest.”, before charging peaceful protesters in two and three-man groups.
“On your knees. Let’s see your hands”, Guard members call out, detaining members of the public in a true ’1984? fashion.
Soon dozens were arrested, tied, and carried off by both the police and Army National Guard troops.

– Flying robots to start serving in restaurants by end-2015 (Channel NewsAsia):
SINGAPORE: Restaurant-goers in Singapore can expect to be served by autonomous flying robots – the world’s first commercial attempt – by the end of next year.
Infinium-Serve, the autonomous flying robotic waiters, will be first launched at one of Timbre Group’s five outlets in Singapore. Infinium Robotics CEO Woon Junyang estimated the project to cost a “low seven-figure sum” for the five outlets, subject to final negotiations and certain variables of the actual deployment of the robots.
Infinium Robotics signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Timbre Group on Oct 31. Both companies are seeking productivity-related government grants to help offset deployment costs.

– The Yellow Cab Bubble Pops: Taxi Medallion Prices Tumble 17% From Last Year’s Record Highs (ZeroHedge):
A little over a year ago, we presented a “Yellow” asset, which was “the best performer of the past year.” It wasn’t gold: it was yellow cab medallions. As we wrote then, “the best returning asset class traded in the NY Metro area is yellow but doesn’t change hands on Wall Street…. over the last 12 months New York City taxi medallions have risen 49% in price, besting the relatively humdrum returns of the S&P 500 (up 21%), the NASDAQ (22%) and the Dow (18%). Medallions – essentially the right to operate a for-hail taxi in New York City – now trade for as much as $1.3 million, an all-time record.” In retrospect it was also the perfect time to cash out on the “yellow” euphoria. According to the NYT, “the average price of an individual New York City taxi medallion fell to $872,000 in October, down 17 percent from a peak reached in the spring of 2013, according to an analysis of sales data. Previous figures published by the city’s Taxi and Limousine Commission — showing flat prices — appear to have been incorrect, and the commission removed them from its website after an inquiry from The New York Times.”

– Egypt: Ex-ruler Hosni Mubarak, accused in deaths of hundreds, cleared of charges (CNN):
Egypt’s former longtime ruler Hosni Mubarak was cleared of charges in a retrial Saturday and could soon be released — a stunning reversal for a man who faced life imprisonment or worse after a revolution toppled him in 2011.
A Cairo judge dismissed charges linking Mubarak to the deaths of hundreds of protesters during the 2011 revolt and found him not guilty of corruption.
Mubarak, who ruled Egypt as president for 29 years, was stoic as his supporters in the courtroom cheered the decision that capped a months-long retrial. The 86-year-old, reclining on a hospital gurney in a defendants’ cage, nodded while fellow defendants kissed him on the head.

– Egyptian police fire tear gas at Mubarak verdict protest in Tahrir Square (RT):
Egyptian police in Cairo have used water cannon and tear gas against hundreds of demonstrators protesting against the acquittal of former president Hosni Mubarak by the local court.
According to Reuters, security officers also used birdshot to disperse the crowd.
RT’s Bel Trew reports from the Egyptian capital that live fire was allegedly applied by the police.
There are also unconfirmed reports that one person was killed in the clashes.
The police, who earlier promised to refrain from violence, released a statement saying that the use of force was justified, as members of the banned Muslim Brotherhood organization have infiltrated the ranks of the demonstrators.

– We Have Some Questions For The “Good Cops” Out There (The Anti Media):
Over the years, I’ve heard dozens and dozens of officers state that they will come to the people’s aid “when the time is right.” Until that unspecified time, the officers will just simply follow the orders of their betters. What exactly constitutes the right time?
Is it when departments are simply too busy to investigate thousands of rape cases?
Is it when the bodies of unarmed men, women, and children are piling up faster than we can report on all of them?
Is it when cops are arresting pastors and taking food from the mouths of the poor?
Is it when law enforcement opens fire on unarmed protesters?
Is it when it becomes common practice for officers to engage in blatantly unconstitutional activities?
Is it when officers enforce a soft form of martial law?
Is it when officers beat children in schools?
Is it when American citizens are getting locked up faster than people in Stalin’s Soviet Union?
Is it when every department in America is turned into a goon squad, even those at our children’s schools?…

I know of so many substances that send cancer cells into apoptosis or help them to change themselves back into normal cells.
These scientists are just looking for a substance that can be patented, … earning billions for Big Pharma.
But don’t ‘worry’ it will never be sold to normal people, because operation, chemo and radiation are so much more profitable … and deadly.
So you are on your own … and believe me … you are much better off that way:

– New research: fruit extract may cause cancer cells to kill themselves (The Windsor Star):
A University of Windsor anti-cancer crusader may have discovered his most effective agent yet — a fruit that causes evil cells to commit suicide.
Dr. Siyaram Pandey, known for promising work on dandelion root extract, is thrilled with results from his initial research on long pepper fruit.
“It is very potent, which is surprising, actually,” said Pandey. “I wouldn’t be exaggerating to say it’s a little bit better than dandelion root extract.”
…
A compound from the long pepper fruit was first identified in the 1960s, but was then forgotten for decades until researchers at Howard University in Boston published a paper in 2011. The Bostonians screened 25,000 compounds for possible cancer-fighting properties and listed piper longum — or long pepper — at the top.

“I, Darren Wilson, hereby resign my commission as a police officer with the City of Ferguson effective immediately. I have been told that my continued employment may put the residents and police officers of the City of Ferguson at risk, which is a circumstance that I cannot allow. For obvious reasons, I wanted to wait until the grand jury made their decision before I officially made my decision to resign. It was my hope to continue in police work, but the safety of other police officers and the community are of paramount importance to me. It is my hope that my resignation will allow the community to heal. I would like to thank all of my supporters and fellow officers throughout this process.”
