It ended in 2010 and the Calvary is not coming to save you.

This buy is predicting intentional hyperinflation ( relative to the dollar ) and the U.S. voluntarily replacing the U.S. controlled FED with an internationally controlled IMF board where the countries of Russia and China having a veto.

Where is Vince to weigh in on this one?

I would differentiate the interest carry and swaps for a change and Cramer was indeed spot on and coy obvious reasons. http://www.cnbc.com/id/101514366

Departments in our Government have been internalized so the 2014 into 2016 will focus the obvious white flags
serving the same FAILURES.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Basic real world definitions.

Private equity buys an established firm that has run into financial trouble, strips out the good assets, then either drives the firm into bankruptcy or into a much reduced state of existence. This can also apply to something like real estate foreclosures where private equity buys foreclosed properties, milks them, and ruins the properties and the neighborhoods in the process.

Venture capital takes a new venture that is sound but has run into cash flow problems due to its early success, and provides the needed cash at an exorbitant price that only a loan shark would otherwise extract.

Linear Psychopaths run this country as within the last month, the Defense Department death cult who matched the Russ decade of our turn now politics from we need to kill the poppy drug trade rhetoric announced that it would be purchasing over $700 million dollars worth of aircraft for the Afghan armed forces. Red or Blue crayons makes no difference since they are simply employed water carrying white flags with a fan base of sixty million right and left deceived wingbats. Many forget we where warned one path only existed with a culture that shoots little girls in the head as they provided vaccine shots which target brains cells.

You know as well I do what is going on to the alleged damage control and business plans integration after this period.
The consolidations processes ongoing exposes facts who they wanted removed.
We will do what we can after we pick up the pieces of this induced back wall which took longer than we assumed.
Anyways, I think the Doctor has a better view on what is the problem.

Some are drawing on Russia going the Alexander Solzhenitsyn path free market path we know well here and the Fiat paper tiger maniacs cannot control that.
Interesting theme of rhetoric. To be blunt another minor redaction updated to the Silent War many indeed missed and another fact few consider linked below.

Meanwhile back at the ranch when protesters get four years to start: http://english.pravda.ru/opinion/column ... zplatno-0/

After Libya, another criminal and murderous campaign by NATO, after Syria, where the FUKUS Axis (France, UK, US) bared their ugly teeth arming terrorists, cannibals, rapists, torturers and murderers (NATO's demonic bedpals), we now have Ukraine, where a part of the population, blinded by youthful zeal, along with groups of thugs, bandits and terrorists and agents provocateurs from abroad (Libya, yes Libya, Syria, Moldova among them, including Islamist Fundamentalist terrorists), have brought havoc, mayhem and chaos to a country led by its democratically elected President.

We will see no sense from either side for some time. Bad neighborhood and they want to play in the sandbox there?
Simply put the election will be remove the MIC Morons. Defense is a separate issue with these maniacs.

A democrat in Maidan is a terrorist in the US. It's a hypocrisy, greed, megalomania and narcissism thing. m

As early as 1917, Washington and Britain wanted the new Soviet state destroyed. Three months before WW I ended, Britain led a multi-nation force.
At the time, Lloyd George was Prime Minister. Churchill was UK Minister of War and Air. Woodrow Wilson was US president.
Thousands of US marines were involved. They invaded Russia. They intervened against Bolshevik forces. They remained until April 1920.
So-called "preventive war" failed. At the same time, "Red Scare" propaganda was intense.
Political scientist Murray Levin called it "a nation-wide anti-radical hysteria provoked by a mounting fear and anxiety that a Bolshevik revolution in America was
imminent - a revolution that would change church, home, marriage, civility, and the American way of Life."

snip - In 1918, the abusive Palmer raids followed. They continued into 1921. Wilson's Attorney General Mitchell Palmer ordered them. He targeted Wobbly members and other left-wing groups.
He launched J. Edgar Hoover's FBI career. It began in the Department of Justice Bureau of Investigation's newly created General Intelligence Division. In 1935, it became the FBI.
A year earlier, the Special Committee on Un-American Activities was established. The House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) succeeded it.
From the mid-1950s through the early 1970s, Hoover's infamous COINTELPRO (counterintelligence) program targeted political dissidents, alleged communists, anti-war, human and civil rights activists, American Indian Movement members, and Black Panther Party ones, among others.
In their book, "Agents of Repression," Ward Churchill and Jim Vander Wall said:
"(T)he term came to signify the whole context of clandestine (usually illegal) political repression activities…"

I cannot wait for the updated DLC dimmcrats and GOP replizards story line.

If Successful, Fukushima Class Actions Could Wipe Out GE

US: Japan should accept liability to receive international help at Fukushima Daiichi

As reported last week, United States Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz requested that Japan join a treaty called the Convention on Supplementary Compensation for Nuclear Damages. This treaty collects funds from participating nations to assist with payments for damages resulting from nuclear disasters.

What most mainstream media sources failed to relate, was that the treaty also assigns accident liability to the operators of the nuclear power plant, rather than the vendors which develop the technology or construct the equipment.

As early as 1917, Washington and Britain wanted the new Soviet state destroyed. Three months before WW I ended, Britain led a multi-nation force. At the time, Lloyd George was Prime Minister. Churchill was UK Minister of War and Air. Woodrow Wilson was US president. Thousands of US marines were involved. They invaded Russia. They intervened against Bolshevik forces. They remained until April 1920. So-called "preventive war" failed.

Behind all the forces arraigned against them, the Bolshevik leaders saw a vast conspiracy orchestrated by Western capitalism. "What we are facing," declared Lenin in July, "is a systematic, methodical and evidently long-planned military and financial counter-revolutionary campaign against the Soviet Republic, which all the representatives of Anglo-French imperialism have been preparing for months."8 In reality, though the young Soviet regime had many enemies both at home and abroad, there was no carefully planned, well coordinated imperialist plot to bring it down. The illusion that such a plot existed, however, helped to shape the Cheka's early operations against its imperialist foes.

In the course of the civil war, the Cheka claimed to have uncovered and defeated a series of major conspiracies by Western governments and their intelligence agencies to overthrow the Bolshevik regime.

Throughout Mitrokhin's career, KGB historians continued to interpret all plots and attacks against the young Soviet regime as "manifestations of a unified conspiracy" by its class enemies at home and the "imperialist powers" abroad.21 The reality was very different. Had there been "a unified conspiracy," the regime would surely have lost the civil war. If two or three divisions of Western troops had landed in the Gulf of Finland in 1919, they could probably have forced their way to Moscow and overthrown the Bolsheviks. But in the aftermath of the First World War not even two or three divisions could be found. Those American, British, French and Japanese troops who intervened against the Red Army served mainly to discredit the White cause and thus actually to assist the Bolsheviks. They were too few to affect the military outcome of the civil war but quite sufficient to allow the Bolsheviks to brand their opponents as the tools of Western imperialism. Most Bolsheviks were, in any case, sincerely convinced that during the civil war they had faced a determined onslaught from the full might of Western capitalism. That illusion continued to color Soviet attitudes to the West throughout, and even beyond, the Stalin era.

Wal-Mart makes official its reliance on food-stamp recipients for profits
March 24, 2014, 10:28 AM
Steve Goldstein

Wal-Mart Stores filed its 10-K late on Friday after the market closed, and the world’s largest retailer added some new language to the list of factors that could hurt the company.

There are oodles of things Wal-Mart is fearful of, from Fed interest-rate policy to climate change, but here’s the specific language on benefits: “changes in the amount of payments made under the Supplement Nutrition Assistance Plan and other public assistance plans (and) changes in the eligibility requirements of public assistance plans.” (Yes, Wal-Mart’s lawyers got the name of the program wrong — it’s the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.)

The latter language could reflect both the change in the food-stamp program as well as the ongoing debate over whether Congress should renew extended jobless benefits that lapsed at the end of December.

This isn’t the first time Wal-Mart has commented on the business impact of the food-stamp program. On Jan. 31, Wal-Mart said the reduction in food-stamp benefits by as much 5.5% in November hurt its profits last quarter and were the reason the company’s comparable-store sales were negative (-0.4%) rather than flat at its Walmart stores.

Wal-Mart’s risk factors also reflect worries about a skills shortage, both to operate their new stores as well as to build them. The latter is an issue that the building industry is more broadly worried about as well.
