A single move by Bernie that could make banksters lose their sleep

by system failure On December 23, 1913, the then US President Woodrow Wilson puts the final signature for the so-called Federal Reserve Act. Big private banks take control of the US money supply. In 1971, Richard Nixon ended the direct convertibility of the US dollar to gold, and as dollar became the global reserve currency, the absolute dominance of the banksters became definite. Since then, the progress of the technology permitted the banking elite to strengthen its power through virtual circulation of huge amounts of capital at zero time. The paper/digital money is used now as a tool for dirty wars, buying governments, directing more and more money and power to the top. Just remember the cash that had been transferred by US army helicopters to Iraq. Or, observe how Greece is destroyed through the evil mechanism: for five years now, the economy has been destroyed by the IMF mafia policies, but the debt has risen enormously. The loans are coming to the countr

Western media ignores Putin’s progress in Syria

by Mike Whitney The UN-sponsored Syrian peace talks, which began on Friday in Geneva, will be boycotted by the main Syrian opposition group which has insisted that Russia stop bombing its positions while negotiations are conducted. To appreciate how ridiculous these demands are, one would have to imagine a similar scenario taking place in the United States. Let’s say, for example, that Ammon Bundy, the crackpot leader of the armed militia that seized the federal wildlife refuge in eastern Oregon, demanded that the FBI and all other federal agents vamoose while the UN convened negotiations between his representatives and the Obama administration for the establishment of a transitional government that would remove Obama from power after 18 months while rewriting the constitution so it better reflected the far-right political and religious convictions of Bundy and his gaggle of ne’er-do-well followers. Does that seem like a reasonable proposition to you? Th

Swedish fascists claim responsibility for anti-refugee mob

Swedish police have made at least four arrests after a mob stormed the country's capital Stockholm in a spree of anti-refugee violence. As many as 100 masked people marched through the city handing out fliers threatening to target “North African street children” and give them the “punishment they deserve,” according to local tabloid Aftonbladet. The fascist group Swedish Resistance Movement has claimed responsibility for the demonstration. According to RT, the group has issued a statement claiming it “cleaned up criminal immigrants from North Africa” in central Stockholm. The mob has been accused of attacking anyone on the street that didn't appear white. According to The Local, witnesses said at least three people were assaulted by the mob.

Draghi and ECB now even closer to lobbyists from megabanks

In 2015 the European Central Bank tightened its ethics rules in the wake of a major scandal over privileged information it gave to select financiers. In the future there will be more restrictions on the way the leadership associates with representatives of financial corporations. But the discoveries from the scandal seems to have no bearing on the way the ECB's top brass deals with the quasi-lobby Group of Thirty. In May 2015, a member of the powerful Governing Council of the European Central Bank (ECB) gave confidential information about quantitative easing to a meeting of bankers and academics, with the former seemingly responding swiftly, securing an advantage over competitors. Only a few months later, the ECB adopted new rules on how and when to associate with financial lobbyists and representatives of financial corporations. It seems a new awareness was borne out of the scandal. Yet, at the same time the ECB involvement with the powerful financial in
