Earlier this week, we verified the first case of pneumonic plague to hit America’s shores in 100 years.  Now, just four days later, three new cases, also from the state of Colorado, have suddenly appeared and are raising fears that an epidemic could very well be on our horizon for citizens within the U.S..

Three more plague cases were found in Colorado, a week after the first infection of the deadliest form of the disease was reported in the state in a decade.

The man initially reported with pneumonic plague on July 11 is hospitalized. Two of the new cases also had pneumonic plague, while the third had a milder form. All four cases may be linked to the original man’s dog, which died from the illness, state health officials said. - Bloomberg

BRICS economic alliance creates plan for new political alliance

2:23 PM brics, brics bank, currency war, dollar, economic alliance, political alliance No Comments

Global geo-politics are controlled today by a combination of the American empire, and a conglomeration of nation states that make up the European Union.  For more than 400 years, these Western powers have been instrumental in determining the destiny’s of 90% of the world, whether through colonialism, militarism, or economic dominion and trade.

But as the world has grown smaller thanks to technology and the ability to communicate information at the speed of light, former second world countries are finding the yoke of Western servitude to be not just stifling, but quite often, life threatening.  And in the midst of an era where the national interests of the U.S. and the EU quite often lead to political change and economic destruction within sovereign countries (Libya, Egypt, Iraq, Afghanistan, Ukraine, Cyprus, Greece, etc…), these lesser nations are recognizing, and even hailing the advent of a new economic and political order, which would allow them to perform their sovereign duties as they see fit, and not through the compulsory demands of nations which see them simply as means for their own political ends.

U.S. accuses Russian rebels of taking down aircraft despite no proof

2:21 PM brics, brics bank, crash, Malaysian air liner, russia, shot down, takedown No Comments

While the wild and confusing news reports coming out from both sides after the firing upon, and subsequent crash of a Malaysian Airlines plane have been politically motivated at best, the real question that has to be asked to get to the underlying truth of this horrific tragedy is…

Who benefits the most from the take down of an innocent civilian airliner over a war torn country?

To answer this question we first must look at all the other events that took place this week leading up to the Thursday downing of the Malaysian flight.  On July 14, opposing forces to U.S. and dollar hegemony took a bold step towards disintegrating America’s stronghold over the global financial system by finalizing an agreement to create a BRICS Bank, which would be a counterpart to the IMF and World Banks, and offer sovereign nations an alternative to the draconian strictures that had dominated sovereign borrowing for decades.

Obama administration continues assault on financial companies that challenge the State

Two weeks ago, the Department of Justice finalized an agreement with French Bank BNP Paribas to admit guilt, and pay $8.9 Billion in what is the largest settlement ever tied to violations of ‘U.S. decreed sanctions’.  According to the DOJ, BNP Paribas conspired to ignore sanctions imposed on Sudan from 2002-2009, but the real story is that this indictment and fine were sent as a warning to France, and other Eurozone nations to not do business with Russia, as the charges occurred at the same time French authorities were completing a new naval deal with Vladimir Putin.

However, foreign countries are not the only ones to receive the financial hammer from Washington for daring to go against the State’s agenda.  On July 16, the same Department of Justice issued a $1 billion fine against Standard & Poor’s (S&P), for spurious claims that they inflated bond ratings for banks leading up to the 2008 credit crisis.  The truth of the matter is, the Obama Administration used these fake charges as leverage, just as they did with BNP Paribas to punish S&P for their downgrading of America’s AAA rating back in 2011.

On cusp of German bail-in vote, 50% of cities stand on verge of insolvency

2:11 PM bankruptcy, germany, insolvency, municipalities, pensions, roads, schools No Comments

On July 9, German legislators voted to approve bank bail-ins as the primary solution for re-capitalization the next time their financial system experiences a collapse or major crisis.  Thus following in the footsteps of the Cyprus Experiment, which saw depositors lose upwards of 60% of the money they thought was safely protected in their banks and financial institutions, German depositors, not the taxpayers, are now on the hook to pay for a bank’s corruptness, risky bets, or bad decisions.

However, even this egregious new policy may pale in comparison to what is coming for the German state as it is now estimated that 50% of all municipal governments within the chief Eurozone nation are underwater, and on the brink of insolvency and bankruptcy.
