Re: Financial topics

When I came across abandoned settlements, I searched houses for commodities. Salt was gold. You need seasoning when you’re eating what you find in the bush: leaves, roots, fish, opossums. I took matches to cook with and tobacco to trade. Money was worthless.
When I found my mother and sister, we fled to Liberian border towns where the fighting had paused and thousands of Sierra Leoneans had set up tents. We stayed for 10 months, but we’d flee into the jungle when fighting flared. We’d farm small plots of land we’d cleared, make traps to catch bushmeat, and teach one another which roots and fruit to eat.
We got rashes, and flies landed on the bushmeat we set out to dry, so we got worms. We learned which types of bark could be ground up to soothe wounds, and we’d collect bitter roots to treat the worms. Certain birds made a particular kind of call when humans approached, and we’d listen for that so we could tell one another when we heard those sounds. Eventually we ran more than 70 miles in 24 hours, wearing flip-flops, to a United Nations refugee camp in Monrovia. I lived in tents at that camp for nearly four years until I finally got a visa to the United States.

Re: Financial topics

Rep. Suzan DelBene (D-Wash.) on Friday slammed Republicans' plan to overhaul the nation's tax code as a "partisan disaster," casting it as a massive windfall to the wealthiest Americans that places an undue burden on the working class.

Additionally, DelBene gave a statement on the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold the Affordable Care Act. She espouses that “The Affordable Care Act upheld today is already helping millions in Washington state by allowing children to be covered on their parent’s plans until age 26, preventing insurance companies from denying coverage because of pre-existing conditions and reducing costs of prescription drugs for seniors on Medicare”

Delbene’s earning of a spot on the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC)’s “Red-to-Blue” program on August 8, 2012, is due to the fact that, as Chairman Steve Israel stated, “There is strong grassroots energy behind Suzan DelBene’s campaign because she knows how to create jobs. Her successful career in both the public and private sector gives her the tools and background to be a thoughtful leader who can stand up to a dysfunctional Congress and bring results for Washington’s middle class.”

The Sierra Club, one of the largest grassroots environmental organizations in the U.S., endorsed DelBene on July 20, 2012. This endorsement reflects DelBene’s policy position on environmental and economic issues. She articulates that she “will work tirelessly to ensure our nation takes meaningful steps to build a new economy based on clean and renewable energy sources and reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and foreign oil.” DelBene relays that the 1st Congressional district will fight to promote research and innovation in the field of renewable energy.

As the Washington Post points out this morning, the Dixons, a family of 4 in Virginia, were shocked earlier this month to find that their Obamacare premiums were going to surge from roughly $900 per month in 2017 to over $3,000 per month in 2018.

Sometimes it’s striking how quickly the technical picture can shift in an aging bull market.

Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act (GLBA) of 1999 signed November 12, 1999 was signaled
the end of the rest of protective measures as the law also repealed Glass–Steagall's conflict of interest prohibitions
"against simultaneous service by any officer, director, or employee of a securities firm as an officer, director, or employee of any member bank".

Currently oil prices are at $56.72 and if this continues till 2021, Saudi Arabia’s financial reserves will become bankrupt.

These days we see visions. For Turkey its 2021. Nations like Norway, for example, plans to ban the sale of fossil fuel-burning cars by 2025, and the UK and France are starting bans in 2040. This is why Saudi Arabia has a 2030 dream to not be dependent on oil.
But OPEC no longer hold the keys, the Saudi-Russian attempt to raise oil prices failed. The price of oil is now subject to market forces rather than any concerted action by oil exporters.

Locally, there’s a current shortfall of $18,176 between the standard of living and real disposable incomes. In other words, no matter how much people are borrowing, their standard of living is in decline. lance

The future will call it ACA Obama Depression as the Rubin partnership program looting of the Transitory holdings from the 1983 thesis of intent to the CCI program policy framework only to decimate deeper than they are aware on the mid demographic age groups as we covered as the "wasting". It has not permeated yet to the taxpayer what is.
Human history is divided into three phases: (1)pre-industrial, (2)industrial, and (3)de-industrial.

Eco-Communalism movements add up to a sustainable world or globally coordinated efforts and initiatives result in a new sustainability paradigm.

We just seen it early as family's are "wasted" out to fuel the NWO corrupted dialectic over lords.

Rep. Suzan DelBene is relegated to local affairs as we warned in 1990.

Both sides that eat the middle is no accident. "if you dance with the devil, remember it's he that calls the tune."

As we noted earlier concepts adapt to the same results...

"higher social values" as we discussed earlier and the date on that program....

Now here is the other side of the coin and the current press release today from the sierra club.
To punish all for the one. This was in direct context for a CO2 pipe to be constructed since we have already been the crash test dummy on
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-03-0 ... hes-limits
over 680000 drill sites filled with toxic frack materials.

Gas industry funding highlights Sierra Club hypocrisy:
For immediate release: [TRIANGLE, VA.] United Mine Workers of America International President Cecil E. Roberts issued the following statement today: “The admission by the Sierra Club that it took $26 million from the natural gas industry to fund its long running anti-coal campaign explains a lot. Now we know why this so-called ‘independent’ organization has been such an advocate for another form of fossil fuel and against using cutting-edge technology that would make using coal to generate electricity just as clean as natural gas. “The Sierra Club used secret gas industry funding to actively work to suppress the building of hundreds of next-generation coal-fired power plants across the country, plants which would significantly reduce emissions of mercury and other harmful substances. “By doing so, the Sierra Club was able to continue to point to the higher emissions levels from aging plants that were not being replaced like they were supposed to be, which played into the false notion that coal can’t be used cleanly. “But this campaign also means that the very people the Sierra Club says it wants to help will continue to be exposed to higher levels of mercury and other emissions – levels that would not occur if the new generation of coal-fired plants are built. “They’ve cynically put people at risk for years to come with this campaign, and made themselves little more than tools of an energy industry competitor in the bargain. Let’s get real here: Just like any business, the gas companies are about selling gas, period. And they will gladly funnel cash to any organization that will help them do it. “If the Sierra Club really wanted to make a long-term, positive impact for our nation’s energy future, it would support all potential ways to generate electricity cleanly and in a carbon-neutral way. The next generation of clean-burning coal-fired power plants, combined with the wide-spread deployment of carbon capture and storage technology, is one of those. “Instead of merely being a knee-jerk shill for a competing industry, the Sierra Club would do well to take a step toward joining with those of us who seek not just a cleaner, but also a more stable and secure long-term energy future for our children and grandchildren.”

Let us not be naive on the preference .gov exports list.

http://www.hellenicshippingnews.com/che ... ot-prices/

U.S. electric power generators consumed 740 million tons of coal in 2015, fueling about one-third of total electric power generation and accounting for 92% of all coal consumed in the United States. Nearly 70% of all coal used by power plants to generate electricity was shipped either completely or in part by rail. The rest was transported by waterway, truck, or—for power plants located near a coal mine—by conveyor.

The distribution of coal transit modes varies from year to year. Factors that can affect both the amount and type of coal used by power plants include the adjustment of coal requirements by plant operators, the installation of flue gas desulfurization units that widens the range of coals a plant is able to burn, and changes in regional coal prices.
Although coal consumption in the electric power sector decreased 18% from 2008 (when U.S. coal production peaked) to 2014, the share of coal shipments made either exclusively or in part by rail has remained near 70%. Over this same period, the share of coal shipments made by river barge increased from 7% to 12%. This increase in barge traffic coincides with the growth of coal produced in the Illinois Basin, which relies on shipments along the Ohio River and its tributaries for a significant portion of its production. Shipments made by nonriver barge waterways, slurry pipeline, tidewater piers, and coastal ports (labeled as other modes in the graph above) fell from 7% to 1%. Decreases in coal transportation by these modes can be attributed to increases in the transport costs of these methods, as well as the retirement of many generating facilities that received coal by these methods.

Gazprom calculated its prices using a formula the Lithuanians said was unintelligible. A copy reviewed by The Wall Street Journal showed a 773-word formula with multiple sub-clauses.
The result, according to Lithuanian officials, was one of the highest gas bills in Europe. In the first half of 2013, industrial buyers paid an average of 44 euro cents, or $0.47, per kilowatt-hour for Gazprom gas. Businesses in the U.K., which has its own gas reserves, paid 35 euro cents, EU data show.

Mantas Bartuska awaits a tanker to pass a narrow inlet on the Baltic Sea with the first natural gas shipments from the Gulf Coast that many hope will transform Europe’s energy market.

The US was or still is the largest consumer market in the world, but when the globalists hit the US in the knees with a sledge hammer repeatedly for decades by moving jobs to other countries...well, you know the rest.
"Those jobs aren't coming back." turned into "Those consumers aren't coming back."

And why we have some can assets --- No, I am not confused. Total Tier 1 Capital for all Canadian banks combined is 600 Billion. You see, while you have been busy printing money, screwing your neighbors, snorting lines and generally making pigs of yourselves we have been busy doing what we always do, saving and making sure we still have a roof over our heads and food to eat.

Canadian banks have always said their total exposure to oil and gas loans was 100 Billion so that isn't any big surprise. Next, the total capitalization of all 5 big banks exceeds 5 Trillion CAD so 100B is what, 2% of capital? This is a non-story.

What the Settling of Old Scores May Look Like During the Coming Breakdown
From The Phoenix Principle and The Coming Dark Age by Marc Widdowson, 2001
Marc Widdowson wrote:The western nations have spread an enormous amount of bad blood around the world in the present era, interfering everywhere and imposing their values with a degree of insensitivity that future historians will truly wonder at. The dark age may see the opportunity for old scores to be settled and to be paid back not once but three times over, as centuries of resentment are relieved in a few intense years. When the plunderers arrive, they will head first for the big cities, where the pickings are richest and thickest on the ground. They will be looking for everything from petrol to slaves and precious metals. Unplanned migration is already a problem in the west. The number of people seeking political asylum has increased dramatically in the last few years. Between a third and a half have their applications refused, but in Britain that still means thousands being admitted every year.2890 In an increasingly disordered world, one might expect that the proportion of admissions should rise, since claims of fleeing oppression will seem increasingly just. Besides which, large numbers of asylum seekers lose patience with the bureaucratic process and go underground as illegal immigrants. In Britain, at least 60,000 have thus evaded the authorities in the past decade. Smuggling third worlders into the rich countries is now a multibillion, dollar criminal business.2891 Fishing vessels carry them across the Mediterranean and truckers speed them overland.2892 Bangladeshis, Iraqis and Indians were recently found to be riding in to Britain on freight trains going through the Channel tunnel.2893 New laws, tougher rules and more vigilant border controls may slow this tide, but they will not halt it. The would-be immigrants are extraordinarily determined. Five Ukrainian men were recently intercepted trying to row across the English Channel in a child’s inflatable dinghy.2894 Today, third worlders come surreptitiously rather than bearing down on the rich countries in their hordes because they perceive that the latter, who not so long ago directly ruled the third world, are well able to defend themselves. Today, they are probably correct. However, with every decade, the reality is changing and so eventually will the perception. In Sierra Leone’s recent civil war, teenage soldiers, both girls and boys, were required to eat the organs and drink the blood of their victims as a military initiation rite.2895 By contrast, trainees at Britain’s school of naval gunnery were being asked to shout ‘bang’ rather than fire real ammunition, in a bid to contain costs.2896 It is increasingly doubtful whether these western youths, whose only taste of violence is in computer games, will really be any match for the blooddrinking, machete-wielding Africans in a serious, face-to-face fight. The Sierra Leone teenagers conduct military actions that they call Operation No Living Thing and Operation Pay Yourself (i.e. looting). How long can it be before they start bringing these ‘operations’ to feebler and far more lucrative Europe? Although they are seldom in western thoughts, today’s underprivileged peoples are well informed of the richness of northern lands, of the vulnerabilities of those lands, and of the existence of others dissatisfied like themselves. They are fully engaged in the world and they show an astute understanding of how to operate within it. Ugandan conmen posing as underprivileged schoolchildren were recently found to be raking it in with begging letters sent to prominent Britons.2897 Other scams have originated in Nigeria. In 1999, refugees in Tanzania were rioting because fleeing Kosovans seemed to be receiving better rations than they were.2898 Clearly these people know exactly what is going on elsewhere – and they are not happy about it. In August 1998, Moroccan and Tunisian asylum seekers who were being held on the Italian island of Lampedusa destroyed their detention centre in a night-long orgy of violence. For fifteen days they had watched through barbed wire fencing as western tourists sunned themselves on a nearby beach, laughing and joking, enjoying good food and copious quantities of wine and beer. Eventually they could take no more and, with temperatures touching 40 degrees, erupted in a spasm of riot and arson.2899 This is a microcosm and a warning of what the future holds in a world where large numbers of hungry, brutalised, third world youths are daily being televised the image of fat, spoilt white people living it up at a party from which they have been thoroughly excluded. The west’s present insouciance may be thought breathtaking. The neo-barbarian invaders of 2050 will leave little clear record of their activity, for they will destroy as they go. Future archaeologists will have to guess at the horrors that might have occurred. They will have to judge from the rubble, the signs of burning, the apparent changes in racial mix of local populations, and the abrupt silencing of a once articulate and exuberant civilisation.

Re: Financial topics

After Guatemala’s ordeal with the U.S. government who deliberately infected people with syphilis, West African nations should be extremely skeptical about the U.S. government’s actions combating Ebola. Professor Francis Boyle of the University of Illinois, College of Law questions the Obama administration’s actions in West Africa. RIA Novosti recently interviewed Boyle and he said the following:

US government agencies have a long history of carrying out allegedly defensive biological warfare research at labs in Liberia and Sierra Leone. This includes the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which is now the point agency for managing the Ebola spill-over into the US,” Prof. Francis Boyle said.

Why has the Obama administration dispatched troops to Liberia when they have no training to provide medical treatment to dying Africans? How did Zaire/Ebola get to West Africa from about 3,500km away from where it was first identified in 1976?”

That’s a good question for Washington, but would the public get any answers? Not anytime soon, since it took more than 62 years for the Guatemala syphilis experiments to be exposed to the public, not by the US government, by a medical historian.

There back at it again.

These records come in a series of productions in litigation spawned by two specific FOIA requests — a lawsuit filed after an EPA FOIA specialist admitted she and her colleague were instructed to do no work on the requests, as EELI counsel Chris Horner attested in a sworn affidavit. Mostly e-mails between EPA top officials and the Sierra Club, the records illustrate how certain EPA employees with backgrounds working for green pressure groups serve as liaisons to those groups in advancing a shared agenda. Other documents affirm the close advisory role the pressure groups play in key EPA actions, like EPA’s recently published New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for new coal-fired plants.

Sierra Club Took $26 Million in Gas Industry Contributions:
According to a blog post from Sierra Club Executive Director Michael Brune, the environmentalist organization accepted millions of donated dollars from the natural gas industry to fight against coal-fired plants nationwide. Here are the details. Brune stated he became aware of the $26 million in donations from individuals and subsidiaries of Chesapeake Energy, one of the largest natural gas companies in the U.S., shortly after he became executive director in 2010. The funding began in 2007, he said.

Brune posted the Sierra Club opposes natural gas development that poses a risk to the environment and the organization is now insisting the recipes of fracking fluid be disclosed and toxics eliminated from the mix. In spite of the decision by Sierra Club to withdraw from its funding agreement with Chesapeake in 2010, the United Mine Workers of America -- which just found out about the funding -- called foul, with union President Cecil E.

Money pits at tax payers expense will overcome us before mother nature does, or both as the script runs it course. I am in the reference of thought again, as we conveyed before, that we are in GD context to be assailed from the right and the left since between the two we are running to event horizons.
I have more regard for underwater volcanoes being found as encyclical drivers also of weather activity's and ph ocean issues other than the usual suspects to obscene amount of chemical weapons dumped in the oceans and now nuclear wastes from reported and unreported on some sources of regard to acurracy's. Finite resource management issues and proposed dependant varable drivers are being used as leverage against reality. This is cost factoring upwards and will finish off the rest of consumers already and hopelessly unable to recover and in truth never will.
