Bankster Mario Draghi "Technically Ready" For Negative Interest Rates!

ECB may make banks pay for overnight deposits - report
RTE News: The European Central Bank is considering making banks pay to deposit cash with it overnight, according to news agency Bloomberg, which cited unnamed sources.
With euro zone inflation well below target, the ECB cut interest rates to a new record low and has made clear it is open to the possibility of taking other steps to bring inflation closer to its desired level.
Bloomberg said that were the ECB to decide to take the deposit rate into negative territory from the current level of zero, it would consider an interest rate of -0.1%.
"We decline to comment," an ECB spokeswoman said when contacted by Reuters about the story, in which Bloomberg cited two people with knowledge of the debate within the bank.
Another central bank official told Reuters the ECB, euro zone countries' national central banks, and corporate lenders have adjusted their internal systems to cope with negative deposit rates should they come.

Feminism And The Collapsing Western Middle Class + Love, Hope, And MTGOW Men: You Are The Party

By : Elizabeth Warren is an outspoken Democratic Senator from Massachusetts formerly occupied teaching and researching commercial law and bankruptcy. In a 2007 lecture entitled The Coming Collapse of the Middle Class, Warren provided a detailed look at the newly dysfunctional reality of life for those who comprise the meat in America’s class sandwich. Today’s social, political and economic landscape reflects the trends she presciently identified which continue to bear their bitter fruit, that of a downward financial and aspirational spiral for families, for America, and in all likelihood for much of Western civilization.
Warren herself avoided any serious discussion of root causes, largely limiting her discussion to economic and class issues, but the interrelated impacts of feminism, no-fault (read male-fault) divorce and the steady move by women into the work force are obvious throughout her narrative.
The image of heavily indebted consumers racking up their credit cards with unpayable debt while splurging foolishly on iPads, Nikes and Cadillacs is a popular one, but inaccurate, according to Warren. Her research, using inflation-adjusted figures, compared costs for a traditional family (mom, dad, two kids) in 1971 to that same family in 2003.
Surprisingly, food, appliances, baby food, clothing, cigarettes, furniture and per-car expenses dropped, some by significant amounts, when considered as a proportion of household income. Electronics, dog food and liquor went up, but not significantly. The real increase in costs for families occurred in the five largest areas of consumer spending, items which are mandatory fixed costs for any family.

Jim Rogers On Why Gold Could Go Lower

By : The Indian politicians are now trying to do their best to destroy the gold market. They’ve put on huge controls and taxes on the Indian gold market. India’s the largest buyer of gold in the world, and it’s already having an effect. So the Indians are now trying to figure out a way to make the Indians sell their gold. Now if India goes from being the largest buyer of gold, to a seller of gold—who knows how low the price of gold will go? I know it will go a lot lower. So I’m not buying gold…. yet.
Tekoa Da Silva: Jim, you mentioned in Street Smarts a very interesting quote, that when selling during bull markets and a bull market top, “What you want is a kid with very little experience, and just enough brains to be dangerous.” What did you mean by that statement, and are there markets in the world today that you see dominated by kids with just enough brains to be very dangerous?
JR: Well, I suspect the United States stock market at the moment, is one of those markets. It’s artificial what’s going on, you have this lady in Washington printing a lot of money, and it’s a very artificial kind of scenario. Now unfortunately—I know that. But a 25 year old will think this is the way the world is; stocks are going up, everything she buys works, and she has nothing to worry about, she thinks this is the best thing ever.

MLK and his love of αγάπη: How the civil rights leader embraced the Greek concept of love

By : Fifty-six years ago today, Martin Luther King Jr. stood at the podium in Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama and spoke about αγάπη, the Greek concept of love.
As The Martin Luther King, Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change explains, King was deeply interested in this Greek approach to love and made agape a core tenet of his philosophy:

“Agape, a Greek word for love, was central to Dr. King’s theology and philosophy of nonviolent social change. He spoke of three kinds of love: philia, affection between friends; eros, romantic love; and agape, a universal, all-embracing love for others for their sake.”
When King would take the podium at Dexter Avenue Baptist Church on November 17, 1957, it wasn’t the first time he would speak about why the concept of agape was so important to the civil rights movement. King frequently laid out the various ideas of love in Greek culture in letters and speeches. However, it was his speech that day, titled “Loving your enemies,” that perhaps best laid out why King believed agape was so important to the civil rights movement:

Fake US Employment Numbers And 5 More Massive Economic Lies The US Government Is Telling You + One US Lawmaker Is Literally Smashing The Belongings Of The Homeless With A Sledgehammer


Lies - Photo by Rob KosterBy Michael Snyder: According to a whistleblower that has recently come forward, Census employees have been faking and manipulating U.S. employment numbers for years.  In fact, it is being alleged that this manipulation was a significant reason for why the official unemployment rate dipped sharply just before the last presidential election.  What you are about to read is incredibly disturbing.  The numbers that the American people depend upon to make important decisions are being faked.  But should we be surprised by this?  After all, Barack Obama has been caught telling dozens of major lies over the past five years.  At this point it is incredible that there are any Americans that still trust anything that comes out of his mouth.  And of course it is not just Obama that has been lying to us.  Corruption and deception are rampant throughout the entire federal government, and this has been the case for years.  Now that some light is being shed on this, hopefully the American people will respond with overwhelming outrage and disgust.
The whistleblower that I mentioned above has been speaking to John Crudele of the New York Post.  In his new article entitled "Census ‘faked’ 2012 election jobs report", he says that the huge decline in the unemployment rate in September 2012 was "manipulated"...

US Congressional Hearings On BitCoin


bitcoinBy Martin Armstrong: On Monday, US Congress held its first congressional hearing on virtual currencies focusing on bitcoin. As Congress discussed bitcoin, the price of one bitcoin soared to more than $750 apiece. Overlooked was the concern focused on anonymity and lack of regulation.
Personally, it is hard to imagine a world where they will allow bitcoin to survive when they are doing everything in their power to hunt down money. Canada is already looking at taxing it and the concerns expressed by Congress clearly place this within the legal definition of what they call money laundering. What once was real washing of illegal money for legal use like the mob buying old 1930s roadside motels and pretending they were fully booked every night to get illegal cash into the system, is now applied to even storing gold or cash in a safe deposit box. Having an account outside the USA is money laundering hiding untaxed money from the government. So bitcoin can fit into that category and what federal judge would rule against the government? NONE!

Apartheid Israel's Airstrikes Bombard Gaza Strip At Least Seven Times

UK BANNED Press TV: The Israeli regime has carried out several airstrikes on the besieged Gaza Strip, but there have been no immediate reports of casualties.

According to Palestinian sources, Israeli warplanes launched at least seven airstrikes in the north and south of the coastal enclave on Tuesday.

They were the second such attacks in recent weeks.

A spokesman for the Israeli army claimed that the airstrikes were conducted in retaliation for one rocket that had been fired from Gaza into the occupied Palestinian territories earlier in the day.

Last week, the Tel Aviv regime carried out two airstrikes on the Gaza Strip.

The Israeli military frequently bombs the besieged Gaza Strip, claiming the attacks are being conducted for defensive purposes. However, disproportionate force is always used, in violation of international law, and civilians are often killed or injured.

The 1.7 million Palestinians of the Gaza Strip are living in what is called the world's largest open-air prison
