The Paradigm Shift has reached a higher gear. The
danger and risk levels have gone to critical levels. The risk of economic
destruction has gone into recognizable critical levels. The source of the
problem has become more easily identified. The typical tactics not only do not
work, but expose the bully, the warmonger, the hegemony advocate, the wizard of
violence, the imposer of self-serving rules, the crime syndicate bosses, the
masters of espionage, the man with killer drone toys. The US Dollar is defended
by war, market interference (see LIBOR, FOREX, debt ratings), accounting rules
gimmicks, rigged detonation of banking systems, pointed assassinations for
heads of state, even fabricated natural events (see HAARP in
Philippines).
.
.
The entire system is supported by Zero Interest
Rate Policy (ZIRP) which distorts asset values and discourages savings. The
misallocation of resources matches the wet blanket effect (see Money Velocity
shutdown). The entire system is supported by Quantitative Easing (QE) which has
monetized the US Govt bond market, the US property market, the US stock market,
and soon possibly the US municipal bond market. The capital destruction is
rampant, severe, and entering vicious feedback loops.
The entire financial and economic system was held together in 2013 by cables and ropes in grand lashing style. The entire financial and economic system is now held together in 2014 by strings and howitzers, not to mention the endless sanctions and destructive rules, even punitive bank fines.
The United States seeks to remain Lord of the
Flies, its domain extended over a wrecked European continent. The main question
is whether Europe will sign on to make a perverse corporatist trade union with
a sinking millstone.
.
The United States seeks to pursue the Western totalitarian
state by means of pulling down the European Economy, from the broken system to
emerge the reconstruction of oppressive fascism. A wrecked Western Economy is
pre-requisite. The small ray of light slips through, as the Fascist Business
Model has a crack in it.
Usually the big powerful corporations support the government fascist dictums. However, Exxon Mobil, Dutch Shell, British Petroleum, and Boeing stand in opposition to sanctions against Russia.
The game is fast changing. The Emperor’s court is
showing critical internal defections. The bigger ray of light comes from
Germany, which shows important signs of refusal to permit its economic
destruction in order to suit the elite plans of a grander fascist state. The
Germans have suffered hyper inflation before, and will not again. The Germans
have suffered a national calamity from an integrated fascist state, and will
not again.
It is becoming excruciatingly clear that the Global Axis of Fascism is the US, UK, and its leash holder in the SouthEast Mediterranean. The entire global system has reached the critical phase. The breakdown phase is accelerating.
Recent events point to two important phenomena
having occurred.
NATO is undermined.The USDollar military plank is being opposed by its own US allies.
This is unprecedented. The Jackass pays almost no
attention to the COMEX gold price, the FOREX currency exchange rates, or the US
Treasury Bond yields, all controlled corrupted and incontrovertibly
wrong-footed.
.
The entire Ukraine War has subjected Europe to severe
economic damage. It will not stand. The Russian sanctions have an obvious
whiplash of severe impact to the US and Europe. The whiplash impact to the US
is to expose the US Dollar as a corrupted cancerous currency, for which coerced
war and economic suicide are the high cost of continued support.
.
.
The effect is to force structural change. The
whiplash impact to Europe is to cause sudden crippling economic effects,
industrial output decline, job cuts, and severed business ties with a
longstanding neighbour and partner.
.
.
The effect is to force structural change. Witness
Paradigm Shift on a global scale, the isolated party being the United States.
Their NWO armbands fit side by side with the nazi symbols so easily recognized.
The big victim is the King Dollar, which has been knocked off its throne. It
might have been decapitated, but it surely has been wrecked. Its dying breath
is venomous. Its last will is a testament to fascism and destruction, not
equitable trade and fair commerce. Its last words are ugly lies.
.
.
IRONY THICK
The irony is unusually thick, but hardly noticed by the masses, as the US marches to Marxist fascism.

.
The Europeans resist fascism and isolation.
.
.
The Russians seek commerce, partnerships, and
constructive engagement.
.
.
The Chinese seek trade and commerce, while opening
gates for a sort of colonization.
.
.
The British seeks a new fence on which to sit, and
possibly continue to capture the finance trade (while Frankfurt cleans up in
the new great RMB Hub game).
.
.
The entire British Commonwealth of nations kowtows
to the American self-proclaimed global lords and rule makers. Witness the
friction to prevent Eurasia from forming, as the insolvent Oceania fades in
power, importance, and integrity. Orwell just winked
.
UKRAINE JUMP SHIFT
The motives for the Ukraine War are murky. Clearly to the cynic with a watchful eye on fascism spread, the motive seems to be designed to cut off Russian Gazprom influence, even to halt its conversion of Europe to an energy vassal client. The US-EU intentions seem to be scorched earth with a genocide twist, stirred by asset thefts (see Kiev Central Bank raid).

.
The Ukraine situation has changed the entire game,
put Europe on alert, and set traps left and right. The Europeans can no longer
sit quietly and follow American Fascist orders. The Europeans are forced to
take action, to choose sides.
The big new twist which took the Jackass out of his chair was the professional hardened soldiers who have joined the Ukraine Liberation Movement (or whatever it is called), taking up positions against the NATO troops, against the Langley-Soros mercenaries. They are fighting against the Ukraine Regime in Kiev, against the fascists. These professional volunteer soldiers have captured some American Blackwater mercenaries, and are conducting interrogations. Later come the perp walks and criminal parades with photo ops.
The US should never force its allies to choose sides, since the US camp is so detrimental and deeply damaging. Joining the US camp means injecting cancer in finance, undermining capital in industry, and enlisting war for its destruction.SPECIAL FORCES IN EQUATION

.
For these Special Forces from Germany, France,
Netherlands, and Britain to show such extreme defiance is testimony to the
broken nature of NATO. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization in my opinion is
dead, as in dead kaput dead.
.
.
The United States violated the treaty long ago in
two key ways. The US placed ballistic missiles on the Russian borders, calling
them defensive.
.
.
The US has used NATO bases to distribute heroin for
over 20 years, with the last ten years being accelerated from the Afghan
source. Since the US Military invasion of Afghanistan, at the time under the
stated purpose of building a Chevron oil pipeline in a land without oil
resources, the heroin production has risen 14-fold. But the Jackass digresses.
.
.
NATO is dead, and the big new questions are whether
Germany will tolerate US Military soldiers in occupation of its land at
Ramstein AFBase, and whether Germany will permit further usage of the NATO base
to distribute heroin to its population. Broken treaties are not new for the US Govt,
which for two centuries has broken them at will, whenever it serves a greater
purpose, like to manifest destiny.
Atrocities and genocide are part of the American fabric at its highest offices.
FASCIST AXIS EXPOSED MORE FULLY
The basis of fascism, that seedy vile merger of state with corporation, is being more clearly seen as having its firm footing in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Israel. One should never leave out the Holy See of Rome in such identifications.
The control rooms are more visible. The
perpetrators of violence, terrorism, and false flag attacks (a fascist
specialty for decades) have been enduring the spotlight in recent years,
especially recent months.
.
The string of executive decrees in the US Govt
house with white paint testify to fascism emerging like a Washington Wailing
Wall pasted with documents in pinups, not prayers. The US Govt reserves the
right to kill any citizen, to arrest any citizen, to seize any citizen assets,
to force any citizen into labour without pay, to obstruct citizen meetings, and
to confiscate citizen firearms. Such is fascism in full glory.
.
The Patriot Act (hardly patriotic) was a Fascist
Manifesto which was imposed next to the formation of the American Gestapo.
.
The British share the same fascist tendencies, the
list long in unison.
Tel Aviv struggles in the open with such fascist confrontations. By the way, the huge off-shore oil discovery preceded the Gaza violence, and Hamas has been benefiting from Langley supply routes since they were exposed in Egypt, the brotherhood being the link.
911 DATA COMING TO TABLE
The major wild card coming into view is detailed evidence on the inside job of 911 at both the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. The Jackass chooses to cite this factor in passing. Let the Snowden Files and Veterans Today state the case, after the battle was waged by AE1000 and Architects & Engineers for Truth. Imagine inside the United States that people pursuing truth are labelled as subversive, another plank in the fascist platform.

.The full story will come out on the US, UK, and Med Sea leash holder involvement. The biggest decisions are where to post the information.

.
The other question is whether the US citizens will
be able to comprehend the sometimes complex data, given their ignorance and
refusal to open eyes. The Jackass view is that when wearing red white &
blue boxer shorts, the brain does not function well.
.
.
Lastly, a question: Why was no information ever
disclosed on the World Trade Center acting as the site of the largest private
bank in the world?
The event on that fateful day was a bank heist, the largest in humankind history. The loot was $100 billion in gold bullion, $100 billion in bearer bonds, and $100 billion in diamonds. Air travel restrictions against water bottles are to prevent the movement of diamonds, as the shoe restriction is a laughable accompaniment in distraction.
US DOLLAR WAR DEFENSE LAID BARE
During the 1990 decade, a few instances can be identified where the US Dollar defense was felt with US Military activity. In the 1980 decade, the brief Panama War was to defend the US Dollar, where their economy and banks still use the USD currency. In the early 2000 decade, examples were seen like after South Korea announced US Treasury’s diversification plans. The US treated them to military exercises off their coastline. Recall S Korea is effectively an occupied nation (see US Military presence with 28,500 troops).

Recall S Korea is effectively an occupied nation (see US Military presence with 28,500 troops).
.
In the 2000 decade, the starkest example of US Dollar
war defense was seen in the Iraq War. The tyrant Saddam Hussein openly boasted
oil trade in Euros, and cited its advantages over a few year period. He did not
expect the disadvantage of war attack, annexation, and his capture with hanging
by the neck after his statue was toppled and the image of his head smacked with
sandals.
.
.
The Iran sanctions were founded in non-USD usage in
their energy trade, the same Hussein crime. Thus Iran was painted by the
dutiful Israelis as a nuclear threat. That card has been played way too often.
Tehran still lacks both adequate nuclear material and missile delivery systems.
No need to be factual, when propaganda is the name of the CFR game.
.
.
The attack on Cyprus was not really about insolvent
banks and Bank Bail-in models being arranged. The Cyprus operation was to cut
off Russian usage of their banks as a window to the West for their banking
system.
The Cyprus operation was to cut off Russian usage of their banks in conversion of US T-Bonds to Gold bullion. The Cyprus operation was to cut off Gazprom at the pass, and to provide a prelude of the upcoming Ukraine War.
No mask can cover the fact that the Ukraine War is
to protect the US Dollar, to ensure Europe is kept within the USD Corral, to
prevent Europe from sitting at the Gold Standard table. The only trouble is
that the Kiev Fascist Regime is going to fall very soon, and the Kiev leaders
will be exposed for their Langley roots,
their Soros roots, and the Mashwodd roots (which fills most
ministry posts).
The Europeans will not let their nations be wrecked in order to defend the violent corrupted cancerous US Dollar. They will choose the Gold Standard, promoted by Russia & China. They will choose to preserve their economies and their national livelihoods.
DEAD PETRO-DOLLAR
The two leading oil producer nations Saudi Arabia and Russia will no longer exclusively trade crude oil in US Dollar terms. The Saudis are slower at the draw, but obvious in their monthly lovefest conferences with Chinese officials, ministers, and heads of state, even corporate leaders. When the Saudis announce acceptance of other non-USD currency for oil payments, the game will reach a higher pitch.

Last week the Russian Gazprom Neft (oil division within Gazprom Corp) announced acceptance of Chinese Yuan and Russian Rubles for crude oil sold to Europe and to China. The news was another correct Jackass forecast, made back in March & April timeframe.
.
The game is on, as the King Dollar is being kicked to the curb, its throne broken and toppled.
.Too much war, too many sanctions, too many hidden violent games, too much market rigging.
The Petro-Dollar is effectively dead, the funeral
yet to occur. The next standard will be the Energy for Gold and Energy for Yuan
(aka RMB). The name Gaso-Yuan defacto standard has been heard, an awkward
moniker indeed.
.
.
This important step will be the practical step
toward reinstallation of the Gold Standard. The Jackass is on record stating
that the global trade settlement in Chinese RMB will be soon made equivalent in
Gold Trade Notes as Letters of Credit. Time will tell.
.

GERMANS ARE FED UP WITH AMERICAN
STRONGARMS
So word is coming out slowly that German caught wind in 2011 of the US Govt plan to create a scorched earth firewall in Ukraine, and to disrupt European energy supply. The German reaction was to demand its gold account repatriation, in direct response to the ugly Ukraine plan. Motive and action, in clear terms. So word is coming out that the US Govt and UK Govt pressured the German Govt to suppress the data that demonstrated how the Kiev Regime shot down the Malaysian airliner, the orders coming from the Kiev ministry offices.

.
The outraged Germans responded with a special FU,
followed by more direct indications of working with Russia & China on
non-USD alternatives. The German corporate interests are at odds with the
banker & political fortress. The corporate interests will prevail. The
Jackass scoffs at the shallow fallacious fecal flow from Skousen who argues as
if Germany is a homogeneous entity. The shallow basis of such thought is
laughable. Germany is divided between the banker & politician offices they
control, versus the corporate chieftains who will defy the fascists on the
other side of the wall.
.
.
Corporate interests will work against policies that
would render great harm to the German Economy. The Germans have already decided to endure heavy bank system damage
(even derivative events), as they turn their backs on the King Dollar Throne.
They will trigger a banking collapse, probably after the US Govt makes a
dreadful error in prosecuting Deutsche Bank in purely hypocritical fashion.
.
.
The Germans will instead defend their economy,
defend their industry, and defend their labourers, as they work constructively
with the BRICS nations in the non-USD alternative. That term (non-USD
alternative) is the catch phrase that means Gold Standard Return, which will
happen on the trade side. The banking system side will follow like from a
vicious trade tug on the choker leash around the dog’s financial neck.
.
.
As footnote, the Chinese Yuan full convertibility
delay is just another signal that other events might be more important, like
Yuan conversion to Gold bullion. When it comes to priority, the conversion to
Thai Bhat, Kiwi Dollar, Colombia Peso, and Indian Rupee for the Chinese Yuan
(aka RMB) takes a back seat to conversion to Gold bullion. The Shanghai Free
Trade Zone will fortify its several hundred corporate and industrial
connections, and deal with the convertible Yuan over time. Another higher
priority is the marriage (more like living together out of wedlock) between the
Russian Ruble and Chinese Yuan. They will fortify their bond with vows during
the construction of energy pipelines, laying of hands over the Holy Grail,
despite marital arguments along the way kept private and out of view.
.
.
ANTI-USD MOVEMENT GLOBAL
The entire world is moving in the direction of firm position against the corrupted cancerous US Dollar. The emerging market nations no longer wish to have their FOREX reserves undermined by QE activity that serves Wall Street with backdoor bond bailouts. The panorama of global economy players no longer wish to have their economies subjected to rising costs as a result of QE activity. The capital destruction is both predictable and palpable.

.
In a sense the entire world is becoming BRICS
Associate nations. Their cause is in common with preservation of savings and of
capital structures. With each new assassination (see the Brazilian free
commerce candidate murder probably done by Langley agents), the BRICS gain
momentum and support.
.
.
The entire world has a common set of motives to
remove the King Dollar from its throne, and to install the Gold Standard for fairness,
equitability, and stability. The refusal by US bankers, UK bankers, and EU
bankers to liquidate the big insolvent banks after the 2008 shock wave has
resulted in a grotesque wreckage of the global economy and massive destruction
of capital structures.
.
.
Either the pinhead economists cannot notice the
capital destruction and lack of stimulus, or else they are brainwashed at the
Keynes Car Wash. The reality will strike hard and fast, as the Petro-Dollar is
dead and NATO is dead. Isolation comes to the United States, worse than the
Jackass imagined back in 2012 when first described.
.
.
GOLD & BONDS & BANKS AS WEAK
LINKS
Many strong competent analysts are openly engaged in speculation as to where the ultimate systemic breakdown will occur. It is very difficult to say.
Many strong competent analysts are openly engaged in speculation as to where the ultimate systemic breakdown will occur. It is very difficult to say.
The three areas of extreme vulnerability are:gold market,bond market, andbanking system.
Take your pick for initial open bust evidence. In
the Jackass opinion, as soon as any one of the three sectors experiences a mild
calamity, all three will suffer a quick contagion event. To be sure, the COMEX
gold arena is hardly a market. To qualify as a market, they must deliver on
gold & silver futures contracts. To qualify as a market, they must contain
gold in inventory, rather than in spurious data and sudden GLD/SLV raids.
Notice the regrettable depletion of the Scotia Mocatta gold hoard in Satan’s
service with genuflection and kissing of the blood ring. The US Treasury Bond
market is held together by QE brute force (almost no valid buyers) and the Interest
Rate Swap derivative (to create phony bond demand).
.
.
The evidence of broken market is the Failures to
Deliver in US T-Bonds. The financial press prefers to mention it like part of a
rabid demand for the US Govt debt securities (of Third World type), a certain
contradiction. The reality is that Interest Rate Swap devices create artificial
demand for US T-Bonds, which the big US banks scurry to meet in forced
purchases, thus the observed Failures to Deliver. The only problem is that not
bond supply enough exist, floating about in the traded open market. So a
shortage is exposed, an embarrassment to the informed who observe the IRSwap
machinery. Fortunately for the US Dept Treasury crime bosses, the majority of
financial professionals, fund managers, and bank analysts are morons to the
derivative world.
.
.
.The big banks are nothing but tall hollow reeds which stand as banners to a past robustness that has long ago faded away. The natural consequence to outsourcing industry is for banks to lose equity.
Nowadays, the big banks are derivative casinos. They are bond carry trade arenas. They are narco money laundering houses. They are hollow pillars of corruption. They are political control centers, along with some energy firms.
ISOLATE THE WORLD
A sick almost comedy is in progress. The US Govt plans to impose sanctions on any nation which intends to diversify away from US Treasury Bonds, or which intends to work toward a non-USD alternative, or which actively strives to install the Gold Standard, or which stands in the way of putting a ring fence around Russia (despite its 12 time zones, and dominant commodity supply chain).

Any and every US Govt sanction initiative has backfired, blowing a hole in the chest of Uncle Sam, even blowing off his testicalia.
The new Reformed Rubin Doctrine should read: if it
does not work, double the volume. The original Rubin Doctrine still reads:
wreck the future to win another year of status quo. No sanctions have succeeded
as intended by design. All have resulted in the United States being painted as
a nasty partner, identified as a warmonger, exposed for deep criminality, and
seen as a fascist operator.
The US Govt will succeed with a series of new sanctions in isolating the majority of world nations. In doing so, it will isolate itself.
The Fascists attack their enemies, defraud their
allies, protect their players, enslave their subjects, and wreck their
economies, while waving the flag and intensifying controls. They wage war as a
business plan, while raiding banks and stealing gold. They are the global
criminal elite class. They must be ring fenced and expunged.
.
.
CLIMAX NEAR WITH NEW AXIS EMERGENCE
A climax is fast approaching. The US Dollar is stuck in the implosion stage. Its many supporting structures are in simultaneous collapse. The paradox worth repeating is that the US Dollar will rise and rise and rise, then vanish, as the United States must take its rightful place in the Third World.

The US Dollar will be rejected, the climax of its
dismissal to come from the pain it causes. No nation can compete with the US Dollar,
as it is printed off the Weimar press by the US Federal Reserve, the oil
burning, the screech audible from afar.
The US Govt is left with no more options than war, since the financial front has been lost to insolvency, market interference, bond fraud, and leveraged corruption.
.The King Dollar has been wrecked, knocked off its throne, never to return to prestige.
.Emerging is the new Eastern Alliance based upon the three centers of Russia, China, and Germany.
The Eurasian Trade Zone is coming into view. The
SCO challenge is also becoming more visible, extending invitations to
additional nations. Its original purpose of shared security and culture
exchange have been made more broad.
.
.
The difficult decisions must be made by Germany. It
seems clear that a certain lip service is given by Berlin leaders to pacify and
mollify the American Fascists, even the Brussels Fascists. They will continue
to say the right words to Washington DC, Brussels, and London, while the
corporate chieftains of Germany continue to spread commerce and the win/win
formula to the Kremlin and Beijing. The arbiter of change must be the
Bundesbank, the traditionally reliable, capable, respected manager of money.
They are at odds with the despicable Draghi Euro Central Bank. The winner will
be Gold & Silver, which will form the monetary basis of the BRICS
alternative currency slowly taking shape. The winners will be Gold & Silver
investors in bars & coins.
.
.
The United States faces liquidation in the near
future, not the distant future. The US isolation will be incredibly painful,
much like a viral quarantine. Its leaders seem busily importing viruses from
Soros and Gates Labs in Africa. These are not investment labs or software labs.
The Atlanta Center for Disease Control owns an Ebola patent, strangely, as
though it might have a new improved fabricated version. Ugly times indeed.
.
.
The United States will not host any RMB Hub site,
and will not embrace any legitimate gold currency.
What comes is the American Tragedy, a great leap
from what Dreiser wrote about.
Hi
ReplyDeleteWhen I last took a look at this website there was a picture of a very beautiful and very modest lady so why can't I find it again just now?
Anyways, I have copied and pasted the contents of this particular webpage and filed it under my "Gold Pusher" files.
The nationalist Socialist Germans of the 1930's manage quite well without possessing the very pretty but very useless asset which is commonly known by the name of "Gold".
I am now very suspicious that Mr Willie is yet another gold pusher Jewish person.
IRMC (for now :-))
