IMF*: State The Obvious - Still Large Uncertainty In Greece


Telegraph: The Institutionalized Monetary Fraudsters (IMF*) believe considerable uncertainly still hangs over the Greek economy, despite the country announcing it will exit an IMF-EU bailout this year as scheduled.
IMF slime-bag William Murray told reporters there has been renewed investor interest in some parts of the Greek economy, locked in a sharp contraction since 2008.
But he added: "There are a lot of challenges ahead. The uncertainty is still large. But our experience suggests that once a virtuous circle is under way, confidence can return quite fast."
He declined to speculate just when such a turnaround will happen.
On December 30, Prime Minister Antonis Samaras said Greece was on track to exit the IMF and European Union pillage plan this year and to fund its needs from the commercial rip-off market.

Socialism, Capitalism, and The Woman Question

By The following article by Ernest Belfort Bax appeared in To-Day in July 1887 under the title ‘Some Heterodox Notes on the Women Question.’ – PW
The above is one of those questions on which a particular species of traditional nonsense is expected of one. The “advanced” writer starts from certain dogmas, which the “advanced” reader has had handed down to him in the apostolical succession of “advanced” thought for a century past. These dogmas of “advanced” faith in the Woman Question are (1) that a natural equality of the sexes obtains in all respects save that of physical strength; (2) that women have always formed an oppressed class, but that the advance of civilization may be measured by the lightening of this oppression (here, of course, we get into the tail of the great bourgeois Panegyric of Civilization); (3) the convenient corollary from the first position, namely, that women ought to have all the rights of intellectual capacity with all the privileges of physical weakness, otherwise expressed, all the rights of men, and none of the duties or hardships of men. For it is a significant and amusing fact that no mention is ever made by the advocate of women’s claims of the privileges which have always been accorded the “weaker sex.” These privileges are quietly pocketed as a matter of course, without any sort of acknowledgment, much less any suggestion of surrender.

The Menacing Feminist Schism In The Mormon Church

boyd k packerBoyd K. Packer
AnonOn May 18, 1993, Elder Boyd K. Packer, a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (colloquially known as the Mormon Church), gave a talk to the All-Church Coordinating Council. Elder Packer spoke about, among other things, the vanishing of values in society and church members being led astray by political and social unrest. He then illustrated the crux of his argument with three dangers that confronted contemporary Mormons: the gay and lesbian movement, the feminist movement, and scholars and intellectuals.
Said he:

Our local leaders must deal with all three of them with ever-increasing frequency. In each case, the members who are hurting have the conviction that the Church somehow is doing something wrong to members or that the Church is not doing enough for them.

Sales Of Hitler’s Mein Kampf Are Surging…

How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don’t think.
- Adolf Hitler
By Michael Krieger: The headline of this post is one that I am not sure how to interpret, but undoubtably marks something of significance. Personally, there have been many occasions throughout my youth, as well as my adult life, where I had a desire to read Mein Kampf. I was always curious to get into the mind of one of humanity’s greatest sociopaths. To get a glimpse of the thought process of a man capable of such cruelty and evil. To understand the types of words he used and the various psychological tactics he employed to manipulate an economically destitute and politically demoralized German population.
These feelings welled up inside of me once again back in 2008, when I feared that a financial and economic meltdown could cause the U.S. population to be thrust into the arms of a demagogue. I wanted to be able to more accurately identify the rhetoric of one of history’s more “successful” demagogue dictators in order to be able to spot similar trends should they arise in my time.
While I never got around to reading it, I did read part of one of Hitler’s speeches from before the war. It was interesting to not how he did not openly speak as a raging psychopath on his way to destroying much of Europe. Rather, he attempted to appeal to his audience as rational, passionate leader there to protect and exalt the German people back to greatness.

Omidyar's $250 Million Dollar Media Venture And The Greenwald / Paypal / NSA Saga - First Look

corbettreport: Of the many intriguing aspects of the Snowden story, by far one of the most frustrating is that, other than a few interviews and press conferences, almost everything we know about Snowden, his motivations, and the documents themselves come from intermediaries who have found themselves in the position of spokespeople on the case.

"Separation and Independence" - The Time And What Must Be Done by Louis Farrakhan

"There are some white militia that are saying that Obama's agreement with Iran justifies president Obama being assassinated. I respectfully warn you America that if president Obama is harmed, our people along with many other people will rise up in reaction more than those who rose when Dr King was assassinated!"

bojosmilefinallastThe simple truth: we don’t know who to believe any more
By John Ward: Most bloggers, threaders, mob orchestrators, Loony Left and Risible Right would like to convince you that every issue is over-complicated by the other side, and in fact quite easy to understand….if you just believe their version. Which is why almost everything they write is unconvincing tosh.
Suggest that the truth might be different again or somewhere inbetween – or even worse, disappointingly absent – and you can become anything from smeared and ostracised to pilloried as “sitting on the fence”. The whole world loves being in a lynch mob: it’s so much more in keeping with our wired hunting instinct than quietly letting the left cortex be dominant for just a few hours.

2014 The End Of The Beginning

The economic crisis has entered a new stage; and when it ends, the bankers’ world - a paper edifice composed of credit and debt - will be in flames.

Darryl Robert Schoon: In Time of the Vulture: How to Survive the Crisis and Prosper in the Process (2007), I predicted a cataclysmic economic crisis was about to occur. At the time, few believed a severe financial crisis likely. It had been seven years since the 2000 dot.com bubble collapse and signs of recovery were everywhere.

But, in 2006, Bill Bonner in his commentary, Ponzi Economy, explained why a crisis was coming. The US economy, fueled by a two-decade credit boom, had become a “ponzi economy”, a gigantic speculative bubble, about to burst.

PONZI ECONOMY

…Everybody likes a credit boom. They all believe they have more money. This is the dirty little secret of modern central banking. It only works by stealth and fraud – silently debauching the currency so that people make mistakes.

Why do you people homeschool their kids? Is the government doing a poor job of providing education? What are the advantages of homeschooling? Will kids become better and more well-rounded individuals? What types of harmful social movements are kids exposed to in public/private schools?

If You Are Waiting For An “Economic Collapse”, Just Look At What Is Happening To Europe


European UnionBy Michael Snyder: If you are anxiously awaiting the arrival of the "economic collapse", just open up your eyes and look at what is happening in Europe.  The entire continent is a giant economic mess right now.  Unemployment and poverty levels are setting record highs, car sales are setting record lows, and there is an ocean of bad loans and red ink everywhere you look.  Over the past several years, most of the attention has been on the economic struggles of Greece, Spain and Portugal and without a doubt things continue to get even worse in those nations.  But in 2014 and 2015, Italy and France will start to take center stage.  France has the 5th largest economy on the planet, and Italy has the 9th largest economy on the planet, and at this point both of those economies are rapidly falling to pieces.  Expect both France and Italy to make major headlines throughout the rest of 2014.  I have always maintained that the next major wave of the economic collapse would begin in Europe, and that is exactly what is happening.  The following are just a few of the statistics that show that an "economic collapse" is happening in Europe right now...
