The Final Wakeup Call

Corrupt Bank Cartel


All markets except Cryptos are manipulated:
Misconduct of Bankers:

The manipulation seen in Libor, Euribor, securitised mortgage-backed investments, metal warehousing, silver and gold, and virtually everything else of value, has paid off handsomely. HSBC’s nearly $700 billion of money laundering for terrorists and drug cartels was extremely profitable.

 

“The six largest banks in the United States — JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs, and Morgan Stanley — have collectively become 37% larger since the 2007 recession which they themselves have fuelled, started. The U.S. banking system has $14.4 trillion in total assets. These six largest banks own 67% of those assets.”

 

The truth is these institutions are hardly banks anymore. Right now, four of the “too big to fail” banks each have total exposure to derivatives well over $60 trillion. Goldman Sachs’ exposure to derivatives is over 281 times more than their total assets. These banks own oil pipelines, power plants, metal and commodity warehouses and distribution networks, and ocean-based shipping companies. The list goes on, and it grows more disturbing by the day.

Even selling securities designed by those who know at the outset that they will fail and who hence bet against them, has been justified by these perpetrators. For higher profits, these “banks” use taxpayers’ money and people’s deposits – virtually interest-free tax-dollar loans. The only people who aren’t profiting from the use of this wealth and accumulated capital are the very people that inject anything of value into the system.

 

There are 6,885 other banks, the lowest level since the Great Depression. These small players are being ravaged by rules that squelch competition and reward risk. Banks with $10 billion or less in assets control under 20% of all bank assets, yet account for just under 60% of small business and personal loans. But the rules are stacked against them and in favour of the massive, global financial institutions that pretend to be banks as they push up leverage and risk in industrial companies and exotic derivatives.

The first financial lie of this century was:

“The Committee continues to believe that an accommodative stance of monetary policy, coupled with robust underlying growth in productivity, is providing important ongoing support to economic activity.” Said Greenspan in 2000.

Eighteen years later there is meagre or no result at all.

“One would think,” Ron Paul laments, “this (105 years FED) anniversary would elicit some sort of public recognition of the Fed’s growth from a quasi-agent of the Treasury Department intended to provide an elastic currency to a de facto independent institution that has taken complete control of the economy through its central monetary planning.”

 

“We are embarked on a unique experiment in monetary manipulation,” Jim Grant tells the German business weekly Finanz und Wirtschaft. “This kind of central banking might be more accurately called central planning.”

 

“If you ask economists, they will tell you that price controls are a very bad idea.” – “But that’s exactly what these mandarins at the Fed are doing,” says Jim Grant. That is, the Fed is manipulating the most important prices of all — interest rates. Only recently, the Fed declared that the fed funds rate would remain near zero “well past” the time the unemployment rate fell below their earlier set mark of 6.5%.

 

The result is a profound drag on progress. “Interest rates are so low that companies, albeit in a very bad way, can survive,” Grant says by way of example. “This reduces, as an unintended consequence, the dynamism of our economy. “In a dynamic society, entrepreneurs start things and other entrepreneurs finish them or bankers finish them for the entrepreneurs because the entrepreneurs have failed. Without failure, there really can’t be any true success. Otherwise, you have a futile system of permanent state-sponsored enterprises.” But it’s even worse than that: There’s the Fed’s absurd operations due to their pathological fear of deflation.

 

Central Banksters have changed the markets:

The Central Bankers have become a cartel with membership privileges to steal your wealth into the hands of their very rich friends. Quantitative easing has re-inflated the entire banking system. The Fed assets have ballooned from around $900 billion in 2008 to over $4 trillion in less than 5 years. The Federal Reserve manipulation of the dollar has undermined the lives of millions of people. It has driven down the standard of living for the average person in two key ways. First, the average household is earning less money in real terms at a time when prices are increasing. Second, it’s nearly impossible for people to protect the value of any extra cash they can save. The cash that is left in bank accounts will buy less next year than it does today.

 

In short, the Central Banksters have changed the markets. It has also changed how to invest. There are considerations today that would never have been imagined 20 years ago. It is no longer enough to study business cycles and company fundamentals. Investors have to consider the unintended consequences of quantitative easing; Contrary to its mandate of “stable prices” – assigned in 1978, actually the Central Banks have an official inflation target of 2%, while unofficially trying to achieve 4% inflation, according to Currency Wars author Jim Rickards.

 

Central bankers “never make a distinction between deflation and progress,” Grant says.

 

“In the last quarter of the 19th century, thanks to everything from the invention of the electric light bulb, to progress in the process of steelmaking, to the invention of the telephone, prices and costs have fallen for the better part of 30 years. Real wages went up, some people suffered, many didn’t, society progressed and people got richer. By persistently trying to raise price levels, the Fed is in effect resisting the progress of our time.”

 

“We are reaping the noxious effects of a century of loose monetary policy,” sums up Ron Paul, “as our economy remains mired in mediocrity and utterly dependent on a stream of easy money from the central bank.”

Paul is inclined to give the lawmakers of 1913 the benefit of the doubt. “Had legislators known then what we know now, we can only hope that they never would have established the Federal Reserve System.” Today, however, we do know better.” We know that the Federal Reserve continues to strengthen the collusion between banks and politicians.

We know that the Fed’s inflationary monetary policy continues to reap profits for Wall Street while impoverishing Main Street. And we know that the current monetary regime is teetering on a precipice.”

 

That’s the dreadful truth. So what can you on Main Street do? Tell your friends, and they in turn, should tell their friends how the world is being manipulated to the detriment of all the people. Wake Up Everyone, and make it known that we, the people don’t accept these lies and tricks anymore!

 

The Central Banks cannot really control the economy. They can only influence it. Fixing interest rates at any level, other than that which is derived by willing borrowers and lenders, they distort the price of credit – and the price of just about every other financial asset that is priced off interest rates.

Distortion of prices always leads to problems – either shortages or surpluses. By fixing rates at ultra-low levels, Central Banks are stealing from one group and giving it to another. The middle class, savers and working class lose wealth. Hedge fund managers, bankers, zombies – and of course, Central Bankers, gain.

That’s why the rich are getting richer while everyone else is losing ground. They call it a “stimulus” program. And they’re right: It’s very stimulating for those who get the money.

 

Then, there’s always gold. “When the world gets a full-on glance of the new Fed Chairman Yellen and understands the measure of the policies that central bankers will likely continue to implement,” Grant says, “the gold price will go up a lot against the Dollar.”

 

The value of gold goes never down:

Always remember: The price of gold may well fall – even significantly. But the value of gold won’t change at all for gold investors who understand gold’s most valuable feature – its timeless and unchanging utility – a bear market in the nominal price is a wonderful gift. But for most part, it brings heartache and disbelief.

This is an informative and coherent documentary that exposes the hidden truth that you will never or very rarely get to see in the mainstream media. It has to do with the rule of secrecy behind the scenes of world politics, that has been steadily working on a covert plan to dominate the world and rule over us all without our consent. The world needs to wake up to this reality before it’s too late.

Five (serious) symptoms of Facebook addiction

*I didn't have a problem with cutting Facebook back to simply posting from here but then again I have a very low tolerance for the mindless and ignorant forms of expression.
Hi, I'm Zack, and I'm a Facebook addict.
Addiction is partly in the mind, and we can all be gripped by something that throttles everything else in our life. From social media to hardcore broadband connections; even knitting. Well, maybe not knitting as the core Generation Y activity of choice, but you can see where I'm going with this.

My relationship with Facebook is on a rocky edge at the moment. Though I accept I spend a great amount of time on the mobile application and site as so many of us do, I have taken a break for my own sense of sanity.
While I argue that Facebook has become so intrinsic to our social relationships, we have yet to develop the filtering skills to take away the emotionless, draining energies from the site that we do not get in real life. Facing social exclusion, the need to detach myself from the overly sensitive minutiae that comes with over-use, it's important to highlight the genuine symptoms of Facebook addiction.

1. You become paranoid: "Why hasn't this person messaged me back?"

A common symptom, it seems, paranoia can grip anyone from a small amount to a dangerous level.

The problem is that Facebook only tells you a little amount, rather than everything. Idle times are displayed with a sleep icon, but Facebook mobile users are always 'online', but may not have their phone with them. Though Facebook has chat presence, it does not guarantee that the person will respond, let alone see the message in the first place.
Also, what is the maximum time to respond to someone? Sites like Facebook do not take into account individual patterns of usage, and all but expects others to be online all the time too.
For those waiting for a response, the temptation is to call or to text, or to follow up with another Wall post or message. "Why haven't they responded?"; logical processes go out the window and paranoia sets in, questioning why they haven't replied. Who hasn't been there?

2. You spend more than an hour or five on the site.

Excessive use of anything is all-relative. I, personally, have a massive oxygen addiction. I love to breathe, and have no plans to kick the habit just yet.
But spending more than an hour or two on Facebook per day is probably too much, for an ordinary 'consumer' user. Granted, many use Facebook for work or in some corporate setting, but most should not spend more than an hour on the social network.
Running through the day, we spend about half an hour in the bathroom per day, excluding showering and whatnot. We take an hour for lunch. We often spend an hour or so travelling to and from work or campus. Relatively speaking, if you are spending more time on Facebook than you do "on the john" -- or using Facebook whilst you are on the toilet -- please seek help.

3. A confusion of the divergence of real life and Facebook

There have been times -- no doubt you will have to -- where you have seen something posted on Facebook as a status update, and later on it has been rekindled as an actual memory.
It's not uncommon, as often statuses are updated of what people are doing, thinking or going to do. But to actively forget when something has not happened in person but 'remembered' through a passing update, is somewhat worrying.
It's indicative that you've spent a great deal of time on the site too, which again goes as a strike against the addiction from the second point.

4. Excessive friend building and Wall posts

Sometimes people find that Facebook is an ego-related thing, and the need to build up an online 'portfolio' is a social need, in order to fully represent whom they want to be in real life.
To add a constant stream of statuses and photos, videos and application updates may be one way of filling up time -- time that could be better spent elsewhere.
It can be an addiction in itself; the need to constantly update people on what you are doing, where and why you are doing it; something that could be construed as 'showing off' or boasting.

5. Depression sets in during downtime, and other withdrawal symptoms

Often, addictions are formed around a lacking something. It would not be amiss to suggest that those who spend a lot of time on Facebook do so because of a lack of other engagements.
When that void is not filled but the addictive matter is taken away, withdrawal symptoms set in -- such as anger, anxiety, depression and other similar feelings. It's not quite as though you have been deprived from coffee all day, but does share some similarities.
When depression or other hidden, mind-orientated symptoms set in, such as frustration or as though you are missing out on something, then this again should be a cause for concern. Breaking up with an addiction is incredibly hard to do, but to do it in stages makes the arduous task easier.

To begin another day

Your mind & your body are the same, feed either garbage today & pay tomorrow


There are no positive or negative words including phrases, believe it or not



So,  three women are talking about one having a baby, positive right? Perhaps not so positive to the father who doesn't want the baby.

 There are a group of guys talking about blowing up a building in New York, negative right? Not to them.

 This blog attempts to show you various ways to be yourself and not follow the status quo, here's a few more.

 There's a naval ship headed to destroy a country, is this positive or negative? Step away from your mental box. Is your family invested in warheads? Is your son aboard this vessel? Is the country to be destroyed America or Iran? I bet your emotions about positive and negative are all over the map.

 Here's a great one.

 I man stands up in a crowded room, put's a gun to his head and says, "I'm sick of life, I'm going to kill myself"! Positive or negative? The coroner has a family, someone must do the forensics and an autopsy. Maybe he had been beating his wife and it got to him? Maybe he's from Japan and this is a modern day Hari-kari?
Many will draw upon their indoctrinated values to answer these simple questions while also drawing on past experiences yadda yadda yadda.

 The point of what I'm saying is that whether you're the minority or the majority, no one has to agree with or see it your way. That's your ego on full blast.
 There are people who are offended by discussions of Trump while others are enriched, no matter what crosses their lips "it's only positive or negative to you" and whoever agrees or disagrees.

 I, personally, did battle with very much the same as I have illustrated here.  Life taught me that "I am NOT the center of the universe", my feelings are my own.
As far as fitting in, ask yourself, "What am I fitting in to"?

In conclusion, there are a group of individuals that always stuck out like a sore thumb. Their statements were labeled harshly positive and or negative and they always stood alone *for the most part. Who are they?
They're the greatest inventors, researchers, studiers and discover's of all time! I wonder what the positive/negative ratio was in the room when someone decided to invent the condom or tampon?

7 sure-fire ways to drastically improve your vocabulary

 No one can exceed their vocabulary and you'll look quite the buffoon in your attempts.


 Words are the basic blocks of the language, and one of the key predictors of someone’s education level, profession and social status. Yet most students struggle to increase their vocabulary effectively, as new words go one into one ear and out the other.
It’s not that we have difficulties grasping the vocabulary when we see it. Rather, we struggle to recall when we get the opportunity to use it, or worse yet, forget to use frequently enough only to end up back where we begun.
Below I describe ten proven tactics to overcome this struggle and learn new words faster, recall them more effectively, and remember them forever.

How to improve your vocabulary

1. Make use of spaced repetition algorithms (SRSs)

Although the scientific community is still debating some aspects of learning, there is consensus on how memories form, and solidify in our brains.
You can read more about spaced repetition in my earlier blog post, but the basic concept is that memories begin to fade shortly after they’re formed, and disappear into oblivion lest we are exposed to the information again.
With each exposure, the ‘forgetting curve’ of the memory becomes longer, and longer until it eventually outlasts your lifetime. This is why reviewing what you’ve learned regularly is so important to effective learning.
The biggest benefit of using a spaced repetition approach to learning, whether you follow the Leitner system with your old paper flashcards, or go for spaced repetition software on your phone or computer (have you tried LinguaLift yet?), is that it prevents you from wasting time on vocabulary that is still fresh in your memory.
The way most students use flashcards is by adding more and more cards to the deck, and then reviewing them all together every day, or every week, or eventually never at all. No surprise, given how unmanageable the pile becomes after a few learning sessions.
SRS goes beyond regular flashcards by predicting the point when the memory is about to fade based on your past performance, and then reminding you at this optimal moment. In theory, if you review regularly every day, you shouldn’t see the word more than 4-5 times before it enters your long term memory!

2. Study vocabulary in context

Research shows that the vast majority of words are learned from context. I can’t emphasize this enough, as learning in context of situations and sentences has huge benefits for all three aspects of vocabulary acquisition: learning, recall and retention.
This means that you should never learn vocabulary from isolated lists of unrelated vocabulary, without seeing them as part of a wider picture.
Think of words as puzzle pieces--when they’re scattered around the table, it’s almost impossible to remember or use them for anything useful. But once you combine even just a couple of the pieces together, a more meaningful context begins to appear, and the end result no longer appears unattainable.
There are many ways of introducing context into your vocabulary learning, the simplest being to learn vocabulary in sentences. This has additional benefits of introducing you to several words at a time, and clarifying their meaning, which may not always be obvious from a simple dictionary translation.
Beyond sentences, you can experiment with learning words with stories, songs or just everyday situations. For example, rather than learning weather related words on their own, look up a weather forecast online, and try to imagine a conversation about weather next week, and how it’ll affect the fishing trip you’ve been looking forward to so much.
Finally, you can also embed the vocabulary right into your surroundings with post-it notes. You’ve probably tried this method with nouns, but there’s no reason to stop there! Simply prepend the label on the fridge with ‘white,’ the clock with ‘wall,’ and the notebook with ‘my.’

3. Make the vocabulary personal, and emotional

You’ve probably heard stories of car crash survivors who can remember every little detail before the accident. We’ve also all experienced how difficult it can be to forget something we’ve been told that touched us to the heart.
Neuroscientists have flashed different words and sentences in front of subjects, scanning their brain activity. Unsurprisingly, the heatmaps lit up like a christmas tree whenever the subjects were exposed to personally relevant and emotionally notable information.
This effect can be put to great effect in vocabulary learning when combined with the previous tip. Rather than settling for a boring sentence like “The photo is on the table,” try something like “The photo of my wife fell of the desk just when I got the call.”
The benefit is three-fold. There’s now a very visual story forming around the vocab, it is emotionally impactful, and assuming you keep a photo of your significant other on your desk, also immediately relatable!
Throw that sentence into your SRS, and I can guarantee that you’ll never forget the words photo, desk, or wife ever again!
Try to think of new vocabulary in context of the people you know, places you’re familiar with or important events in your life. Just make sure not to go overboard with the imagery, lest you get traumatized every time you need to use one of the words...

4. Read regularly, and from a variety of sources

Reading exposes you to the same vocabulary at regular intervals, integrated it into the context of a longer story, personally relatable once you identify with the main protagonist... all central characteristics of effective vocabulary learning.
This makes reading one of the most effective ways to increase your vocabulary. The stereotype might portray bookworms as boring and asocial, but studies have in fact confirmed repeatedly that regular readers are much more expressive if you give them a chance to speak.
While you read, pay close attention to words you don't know, but don’t try to look up everything right away or you’ll fail to appreciate the narrative and eventually burn out. Instead, highlight words that appear to be particularly useful or central to the story, then try to figure out their meanings from context before checking the official definition.
Make sure to engage with material on many different subjects, and in different formats. The language will be very different depending on whether you’re reading pulp fiction, a glamour magazine, or daily newspaper.
If you the book you’re reading is also available in audio form, you should also consider listening to each chapter before or after you read it. If the text and the audio match accurately, also make sure to try shadowing, an extremely effective learning method I’ve covered before.

"There Is No Such Thing As Time"

The "rebels" who fight the Big Bang theory are mostly attempting to grapple with the concept of time. They are philosophers as much as cosmologists, unsatisfied with the Big Bang, unimpressed with string theory and unconvinced of the multiverse. Julian Barbour, British physicist, author, and major proponent of the idea of timeless physics, is one of those rebels--so thoroughly a rebel that he has spurned the world of academics.


Julian Barbour's solution to the problem of time in physics and cosmology is as simply stated as it is radical: there is no such thing as time.
"If you try to get your hands on time, it's always slipping through your fingers," says Barbour. "People are sure time is there, but they can't get hold of it. My feeling is that they can't get hold of it because it isn't there at all." Barbour speaks with a disarming English charm that belies an iron resolve and confidence in his science. His extreme perspective comes from years of looking into the heart of both classical and quantum physics. Isaac Newton thought of time as a river flowing at the same rate everywhere. Einstein changed this picture by unifying space and time into a single 4-D entity. But even Einstein failed to challenge the concept of time as a measure of change. In Barbour's view, the question must be turned on its head. It is change that provides the illusion of time. Channeling the ghost of Parmenides, Barbour sees each individual moment as a whole, complete and existing in its own right. He calls these moments "Nows."
"As we live, we seem to move through a succession of Nows," says Barbour, "and the question is, what are they?" For Barbour each Now is an arrangement of everything in the universe. "We have the strong impression that things have definite positions relative to each other. I aim to abstract away everything we cannot see (directly or indirectly) and simply keep this idea of many different things coexisting at once. There are simply the Nows, nothing more, nothing less."
Barbour's Nows can be imagined as pages of a novel ripped from the book's spine and tossed randomly onto the floor. Each page is a separate entity existing without time, existing outside of time. Arranging the pages in some special order and moving through them in a step-by-step fashion makes a story unfold. Still, no matter how we arrange the sheets, each page is complete and independent. As Barbour says, "The cat that jumps is not the same cat that lands." The physics of reality for Barbour is the physics of these Nows taken together as a whole. There is no past moment that flows into a future moment. Instead all the different possible configurations of the universe, every possible location of every atom throughout all of creation, exist simultaneously. Barbour's Nows all exist at once in a vast Platonic realm that stands completely and absolutely without time.
"What really intrigues me," says Barbour, "is that the totality of all possible Nows has a very special structure. You can think of it as a landscape or country. Each point in this country is a Now and I call the country Platonia, because it is timeless and created by perfect mathematical
rules." The question of "before" the Big Bang never arises for Barbour because his cosmology has no time. All that exists is a landscape of configurations, the landscape of Nows. "Platonia is the true arena of the universe," he says, "and its structure has a deep influence on whatever
physics, classical or quantum, is played out in it." For Barbour, the Big Bang is not an explosion in the distant past. It's just a special place in Platonia, his terrain of independent Nows.
Our illusion of the past arises because each Now in Platonia contains objects that appear as "records" in Barbour's language. "The only evidence you have of last week is your memory. But memory comes from a stable structure of neurons in your brain now. The only evidence we have of the Earth's past is rocks and fossils. But these are just stable structures in the form of an arrangement of minerals we examine in the present. The point is, all we have are these records and you only have them in this Now." Barbour's theory explains the existence of these records through relationships between the Nows in Platonia. Some Nows are linked to others in Platonia's landscape even though they all exist simultaneously. Those links give the appearance of records lining up in sequence from past to future. In spite of that appearance, the actual flow of time from one Now to another is nowhere to be found.

This is a box.



 Your professors most likely suggested you think outside the box, wrong! (Thinking outside the box still keeps you in proximity to the box, but nice try)



 This is a box but nice try, I'll give you an "E" for effort.



 You aren't doing jack shit until you think with no box at all! Cut your ties with the status quo.



  You may wish to think about who the owner of this blog is.

You're going to have to think to get this

 I see people all in an uproar about this and that, attempting to achieve this way and that way and it's because you live by laws while others live by loopholes.

 This by no means suggests breaking laws but for the "few", this was a mute statement.

Colin Kaepernick Kicked the Status Quo Straight Up the Ass

Colin Kaepernick’s Nike Campaign Keeps N.F.L. Anthem Kneeling in Spotlight


Colin Kaepernick, the former N.F.L. quarterback who inspired a player protest movement but who has been out of a job for more than a year, has signed a new, multiyear deal with Nike that makes him a face of the 30th anniversary of the sports apparel company’s “Just Do It” campaign, Nike confirmed on Monday.
The first advertisement from Nike, one of the league’s top partners, debuted Monday afternoon, when Kaepernick tweeted it, assuring that his activism and the protest movement against racism and social injustice he started would continue to loom over one of the country’s most powerful sports leagues.
Nike will produce new Kaepernick apparel, including a shoe and a T-shirt, and if the merchandise sells well, the value of the deal will rival those of other top N.F.L. players, according to people close to the negotiations who spoke on condition of anonymity because Nike had not formally announced it. Nike will also donate money to Kaepernick’s “Know Your Rights” campaign.

The N.F.L. did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The ad and the campaign, coming a few days before the start of the N.F.L. season on Thursday, is likely to annoy the league’s top executives and its owners. On Thursday, Kaepernick won a victory in his grievance against the league when an arbitrator let his case, in which he accuses the league of conspiring to keep him off the field because of his activism, advance.
