War on Democracy: Spain and Japan Move to Criminalize Protests

By Michael Krieger: As might be expected as political and economic policy failures pile up and citizens become increasingly mad, the status quo is becoming increasingly authoritarian (recall blogger “Mish” was just fined 8,000 euros for a blog post).
In the latest disturbing news from a desperate power structure, the conservative government in Spain has passed an Orwellian bill titled the Citizens’ Security Law, which allows for fines of up to 600,000 euros ($816,000) for “unauthorized” street protests, and a 30,000 fine for merely having signs with “offensive” slogans against Spain or for wearing a mask.
This law is a perfect example of the increasing neo-feudalism being implemented across the globe by a corrupt, decadent and depraved status quo. Such laws must be immediately resisted or they will only get worse, much worse. It is quite obvious what the power structure in Spain in trying to do. It is putting into place an egregious punishment framework that could bankrupt a person by merely protesting. Such a threat is intended to make people not even consider their rights as human beings to express grievances to a crony government.
Instead of eye for an eye, it is like 25 eyes and a limb for an eye. If this does’t tell the Spanish people all they need to know about their government I don’t know what will.

Amazon CEO says plans to deliver small packages via drones ‘will happen’ despite massive hurdles

By Madison Ruppert: Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos revealed Amazon “Prime Air” on Sunday, which is his company’s plan to deliver small packages to consumers via drones.
Bezos expressed his confidence on “60 Minutes” on Sunday, telling Charlie Rose that it “will work, and it will happen,” even though many legal obstacles remain in the way.
Yet many commercial drone operators flout the law and use drones despite the federal regulations restricting their use. Currently, domestic drones are flown mostly by federal agencies, National Guard units, the military, police departments, colleges and many more that remain secret.
However, many states have begun to push back against domestic drone use. Cities ranging in size have taken steps to limit drone use and some have passed quite strong anti-drone legislation.
Thus it seems that Amazon has many obstacles it will have to conquer in its effort to roll out drone deliveries nationwide and some say that the whole thing is nothing more than a publicity stunt.

Banksters: The Biggest Bullies, Big Central Banks and Their Big Central Governments

By Szandor Blestman: I've been seeing a lot on bullying lately in the news and on social networking sites. It seems that no one really seems to like bullying much and everyone loves to see the little guy stand up to the bully. And yet there seems to be a disconnect when it comes to those who stand up to the biggest bullies of all. There seems to be some kind of cognitive dissonance that takes place when someone feels the bully is doing the bullying for your own good, or for the right reasons. I don't think bullying is ever good, no matter the reasons one might dream up for engaging in the practice. No matter how well intentioned, the ends never justifies the means when the means is immoral, and an immoral means always taints and corrupts a moral intention.

When we think of bullying, we often think of kids. We think of playground antics. We think of stealing milk money, or a cry for attention, or acceptance, or acting superior due to an inferiority complex, or of insecurity issues, or someone picking on someone else because they're different, or someone picking on someone else simply for the perverse pleasure they might get from instilling fear in another human being, from watching them squirm in fright. Mostly one thinks about the strong picking on the weak. It's especially about the strong picking on the weak.

But why think that these types of behaviors are limited to children?

By Greg Hunter: Ellen Brown, founder of WebofDebt.com, thinks so-called 'bail-ins' are coming. Depositors' money will be legally taken. Brown says, "That's the big disaster that's coming. Probably one of these big derivative banks will go bankrupt . . . the derivative players will get first dibs. They'll grab all the deposits, and there won't be anything left."

UK Royal Mint Working On Plans To Issue Gold-Backed Physical Bitcoins

Submitted by Tyler Durden: The implicit, and ever more explicit, institutional acceptance of the dominant cryptocurrency Bitcoin (we say dominant because as we pointed out last week, there has been an unprecedented spike of digital currencies one can pick and choose from) continues when following the surge in vendors willing to transact in BTC over Thanksgiving, the latest news comes from the birthplace of the modern central bank, the UK, where we learn that none other than the UK Royal Mint has been working on plans since this summer to issue physical Bitcoins in collaboration with the Channel Island of Alderney.

But where the story gets downright surreal is that as the FT reports, the same symbolic Bitcoin token issued by the Royal Mint "would have a gold content – a figure of £500-worth has been proposed – so that holders could conceivably melt and sell the metal if the exchange value of the currency were to collapse." In brief: a perfect, and utterly incomprehensible, fusion of (opposing) hard, soft and digital currencies all rolled into one...
From the FT:

The tiny Channel Island of Alderney is launching an audacious bid to become the first jurisdiction to mint physical Bitcoins, amid a global race to capitalise on the booming virtual currency.

"Why We Need To Fuck Their Shit Up" - The COCK Fairy

By Diana Davison: So, who defines what words are dangerous? Why are Men’s Rights Advocates being silenced? What we are saying is not particularly new. The threat is that more people are starting to listen. In part that’s because the evidence that we are right has been accumulating. The other part is that you can only abuse people for so long before they all start getting fed up.
Having a bigger audience has made us dangerous, and feminists don’t like competing for attention. Since the point of speaking is to be heard, it seems crass for feminists to use that as an excuse to silence us.

MHRA: Dean Esmay Interview with Chill Magazine

Is a return to traditional masculinity needed to pull men out of the widely observed "crisis" they are facing?

For the past month, we've been inundated with images of the indestructable Alpha male that is Ron Swanson. The quintessential man's man from NBC's Parks and Recreation, played by Nick Offerman, has acted as the de facto ambassador of Movember. His gruff, moustachioed mug—as seen in several viral videos for the campaign—harkens back to a traditional archetype of masculinity. One where hunting, oiling your gun and never crying are all a guy needs to get by.

It’s a prototype of a man some believe doesn’t exist anymore, but one that nevertheless still offends people. In a recent column published in the McGill Daily, Ralph Haddad argues Movember is sexist because it's characterized by “an archaic view of gender,” as well as “overarching shows of masculinity, and a general overload of testosterone.” An article in The Link, Concordia University's independent newspaper, takes it even further, arguing the movement sees men “raise money towards saving a group of extremely privileged people—themselves.”

15 Signs That We Are Near The Peak Of An Absolutely Massive Stock Market Bubble

By Michael Snyder: One of the men that won the Nobel Prize for economics this year says that "bubbles look like this" and that he is "most worried about the boom in the U.S. stock market."  But you don't have to be a Nobel Prize winner to see what is happening.  It should be glaringly apparent to anyone with half a brain.  The financial markets have been soaring while the overall economy has been stagnating.  Reckless injections of liquidity into the financial system by the Federal Reserve have pumped up stock prices to ridiculous extremes, and people are becoming concerned.  In fact, Google searches for the term "stock bubble" are now at the highest level that we have seen since November 2007.  Despite assurances from the mainstream media and the Federal Reserve that everything is just fine, many Americans are beginning to realize that we have seen this movie before.  We saw it during the dotcom bubble, and we saw it during the lead up to the horrible financial crisis of 2008.  So precisely when will the bubble burst this time?  Nobody knows for sure, but without a doubt this irrational financial bubble will burst at some point.  Remember, a bubble is always the biggest right before it bursts, and the following are 15 signs that we are near the peak of an absolutely massive stock market bubble...
