"Here's a quote from Ambrose Evans-Pritchard (more on that below as well):
The Troika originally said that Greece' economy would contract by 2.6% in 2010 under the austerity regime, before recovering with growth of 1.1% in 2011, and 2.1% in 2012.
Time for new emergency meetings once more?! Round 826?! In light of the Spiegel quote, Samaras' suggestion this morning that Greece may return to growth by 2014 is the boldest lie of the day, and friend Antonios faces some stiff competition for that prize any day of the week."
The decision to go to war with Syria was made by President George W. Bush at a Camp David meeting on September 15, 2001, just after the spectacular attacks in New York and Washington. Simultaneously attacks were planned in Libya to demonstrate the ability to act in two theaters at once. This decision was corroborated by the testimony of General Wesley Clark, former NATO supreme commander, who was opposed to it.

"Longtime readers may recall a comment of mine late last year to the effect that ordinary investors would surely find some way to pile into the shale gas bubble before the next year was out. Thanks to an anonymous reader and the August 2012 edition of SmartMoney Magazine, which arrived from said reader in yesterdays mail, that comment can now be moved over into the "confirmed" category.
Thus its as certain as anything can be that at some point in the fairly near future, probably though not certainly within a year or two, the shale gas bubble is going to pop, major names in the industry are going to go the way of Countrywide Mortgage and Washington Mutual, and gas drilling is going to slump until rising gas prices and declining budgets for exploration and drilling come back into a relationship that makes sense. Mind you, its equally certain that the closer we get to the bubbles end, the more extravagant will be the claims made for the permanence and game-changing nature of the so-called shale gas revolution, and the more abusive will be the responses of those whose jobs depend on the bubble to any suggestion that a bubble is in fact whats going on."
A problem for you, stone, is that I've been using you as a marker for the Top 400.

"What's Greek for "bite me"?
And who's going to force them out of the eurozone to begin with? There are no rules or regulations anywhere regarding the procedure for leaving. You can't leave, and you can't be forced out. If the IMF and/or the rest of the troika wants to stop payments, Greece will probably default on its debt, but it will still be in the eurozone. Sort of whether it likes it or not. Interesting matter for international and constitutional lawyers, for sure, but they don't tend to work very fast (for good reasons).
The bailouts and austerity schemes don't work (that is: not for the people; bankers are elated). The Greeks get miserable without having anything to show for it, the Germans and Dutch pay and pay and pay and never see anything improve. End of exercise. Once everyone sees the blinding light, that is. So please let it sink in: we're in the process of passing a watershed moment, slowed down as we are by the mental sloths among us.

the August 2012 issue of SmartMoney is "The Return of Fossil Fuels," and that it rehashes the latest clichés about vast new gas and oil reserves without raising any of the the inconvenient questions that a competent practitioner of the lost art of journalism, should one be wakened from enchanted sleep by the touch of a 1940s radio microphone, would ask as a matter of course. The article trumpets the fact that America is importing less oil than last year,
for example, without mentioning that this is because Americans are using less oilunemployed people whove exhausted their 99 weeks of benefits dont take many Sunday drivesand it babbles about natural gas for two largely fact-free pages without mentioning that claims about vast supplies far into the future
rely on assumptions about the production decline rate from fracked shale gas wells that make professionals in the gas drilling industry snort beer out their noses. "
A problem for you is that you add zero value to a site.
Endless, mindless babbling.

For anyone in two minds about what is really going on in Syria, and whether President Assad, hailed a decade ago as A Modern Day Attaturk, has become the latest megalomaniacal despot, to whose people a US-led posse of nations, must deliver freedom, with weapons of mass, home, people, nation and livelihood destruction, here is a salutary tale from modern history.
Have the more recent sabre rattlings against Syria* been based on US-UK government papers, only discovered in 2003 - and since air brushed (or erroneously omitted) from even BBC timelines, on that country?(i)
In late 2003, the year of the Iraq invasion, Matthew Jones, a Reader in International History, at Londons Royal Holloway College, discovered frighteningly frank documents:1957 plans between then UK Prime Minister, Harold Macmillan, and then President, Dwight Eisenhower, endorsing: a CIA-MI6 plan to stage fake border incidents as an excuse for an invasion (of Syria) by Syrias pro-western neighbours. (ii)
Greater emphasis on interpreting the historical record in terms of cycles, whether or not they can be quantified in market terms, makes greater sense of the rise and fall of imperial structures as well as the smaller scale cycles within cycles that these examples represent. Ponzi dynamics are the underlying commonality at all degrees of trend for a fractal system based on swings of positive feedback in both directions:
From the Top of the Great Pyramid (2008)
At the largest scale, empires are also grounded in pyramid dynamics, which is why they too have a limited lifespan. They grow by assuming control, either politically or economically, of new territories, positioning themselves to cream off surpluses from an ever-expanding geographical area in a form of involuntary buy-in ...
"We have seen loans made to people, companies and governments that could not possibly repay them, because the sellers were able to collect their fees upfront, while selling the huge risk on to investors through securitization. Due diligence was virtually non-existent for many years, while systemic risk grew unchecked. In the USA, the mortgage securitization process broke the chain of title for property, and the banking system attempted to cover this up through fraudulent reconstruction of paperwork after the fact. Naked shorting has been used to create artificial selling pressure.
The benchmark LIBOR rate has been fiddled since its inception, creating enormous private profits at public expense. As crisis has developed as a result of these, and many other, abuses, the response has been austerity for the masses while the insiders, who should have know better, have been able to walk away from the consequences of their recklessness. The public sector is being asset-stripped as the great collateral grab gets underway.
The formal 'control' mechanisms have done nothing of substance to reign in the development of a global Ponzi structure, in fact they have more often acted to facilitate it. "

Hey its Mark. It seems like just yesterday that Facebook had its historic I.P.O. and, thanks to you, my net worth soared to a staggering $20 billion. What an awesome day that was for both of us. Today was a different kind of day. Facebook shares are plunging because the geniuses on Wall Street expect us to, and I quote, make money. Thats why your Facebook friend Mark needs your help.
Facebook only makes money if people click on its ads. Do you know what Facebook ads are? Theyre those things on your Facebook page that you have never clicked on even once. But at Facebook were looking to change that. After doing extensive market research, we learned that there is one time when people actually do click on Facebook ads: when theyre drunk. This is the same business model that iTunes is based on. Im sure a few of you have had the experience of using Facebook late at night, only to wake up and find that youve gotten seven auto-insurance quotes or enrolled as a criminal-justice major at the University of Phoenix.

yep. Wonder no more.
This Is the USSA....;}
As CNN spent over 5 min Top of the Hour (I stopped tracking after that;) on Romney and the Plight of Israel.
"That means that the European debts are essentially unpayable. Without real growth they are bound to become even more so with every passing year, concentrating resources ever more in the hands of an ever smaller number of people. And of course, this will even worsen when oil production ceases to stagnate and begins to decline.
At some point somebody will have to emulate Valdemar IV (king of Denmark (.....Those familiar with the history of Denmark will remember, for instance, that Christopher II of Denmark pawned nearly his entire kingdom to German magnates between 1320 and 1332. Yet Denmark still exists and is still a kingdom. You see, states have an enormous advantage over corporations : they generally command the loyalty of their subjects and can therefore tax and draft them. That is what Christophers successor, Valdemar IV, did.")........ , default on his debt or leave the Euro to inflate his way out of it. Bankers and traders wont be amused but will quickly learn that money doesnt command loyalty. Those who wont be able to run will then have an interesting discussion with a court... or a lynch mob.
The problem is that the European administration cannot take this decision. It is not a political body, it cannot change its policies, and those are liberal in nature. The first rule of a free market is that debts must be paid, no mater the costs and the consequences, and it is a rule it cannot break.
Nations states will have to do it, therefore, either together in some grand conference, or more probably alone, after the crisis has put some radical into power. When this will happen, the European Union will simply vanish as the USSR did after the August Coup and the Belavezha Accords. Those who still nurture the dream of a political Europe, whether it be the Europe of Regions of my own political family or the Europe as civilization of the volkish far right will have to accept, as I did, that Europe has become an hollow shell and that time has run out. It is around nation states, not necessarily the ones we know by the way, that Europe will have to face the long descent, until they too dissolve."
"On an historical basis, those who cling to the exhausted verities of this fading epoch will be viewed in a comparable light to those obtuse denizens of the 16th Century who refused to let go (and ruthlessly strove to make miserable or worse those who challenged prevailing cultural illusions) of the fallacy of the Geocentric model of the universe. Like their Flat-Earther forbearers, our present day virtuosos of denial (e.g., climate change skeptics and capitalist rah-rahs) their names and their demented dogmas will, in years to come, become axiomatic of hubris, denial, and catastrophic conceit.
When an individual clings to pride-petrified notions about himself, he is being held in the thrall of the viewpoint of a person who no longer exists; in the same way, when one parrots nationalistic platitudes, one dwells on a mental basis in a country that does not exist, and, in fact, never did."
" Now, it appears that the West's Arab "foreign legion," Al Qaeda, is about to suffer an unprecedented defeat - not at the hands of Western anti-terrorism forces, but at the hands of Syrian troops in the city of Aleppo. In a desperate effort to prevent this, the West is employing a series of desperate strategies ranging from portraying the trapped foreign-fighters committing atrocities inside Aleppo as "pending a certain massacre," to using the very presence of these foreign-fighters as evidence "Al Qaeada" is operating in Syria and must be "stopped" by Western intervention.
It is essential to understand that, as empires have always done, the monolithic corporate-financier interests of the West seek regional hegemony as a step toward global domination, and will say and do anything in order to achieve it. As resistance increases, the West's lies become more difficult to sell, the consistency of their propaganda overtly crumbling. The West, in nearly a single breath, has now claimed FSA fighters are both "Al Qaeda" that need to be eliminated, while also impeding a "massacre" by Syrian forces if something isn't done to save them. "

"We had the Reuters news agency 24 to 36 hours ago publishing the report that you referred to about the Adana base supported actively by Saudi Arabia, Qatar and of course on Turkish territory.
This base was actually made to order during a visit by Saudi Prince Abdulaziz, the Deputy Foreign Minister who demanded that the Turks open up such a base. The trick with that base is Adana is right next to the Incirlik NATO air force base. It is Incirlik AFB and the account in Reuters is not certain whether the Adana logistical base for the death squads in Syria is actually on the NATO base. So at that point it is getting very hard to deny anything. "
Welcome to the Kurdish Spring ~ link ~ This could prove to be a massive 'wild card' event, on a par with the Kaiser sending Lenin to Russia in a sealed train. It ended up bringing not only the Emperor of Russia down but the Kaiser and many others as well. Stirling
Turkish foreign policy, codified by Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, used to be known in shorthand as "zero problems with our neighbors". When Turkey started calling for regime change in Syria, it turned into "a major problem with one of our neighbors" (even tough Davutoglu himself admitted on the record the policy change failed).
Now, in yet another twist, it's becoming "all sorts of problems with two of our neighbors". Enter - inevitably - Ankara's ultimate taboo; the Kurdish question.

".... money will be found to "rescue" Spain and Italy, even if it comes from the Fed,..... and September will come and go just like all the other crunch times which were trumpeted up to this point."
Nope. The only thing holding the USSA's colonies is certain payment.
As in:
$4 Geo Washingtons will get you a gal of petrol anywhere in the world.
Once this no longer holds, neither will the Empire's colonies.
As I keep asking myself what Turkey gets for destabilizing Syria and going against Russia/China.
Though not yet announced by the Saudi authorities, the death of Prince Bandar bin Sultan bin Abdulaziz Al Saud has been confirmed to Voltaire Network unofficially.
Prince Bandar had just been appointed head of Saudi intelligence on July 22: a promotion which was interpreted as a reward for having organized the attack in Damascus on July 18. The Saudi services, with logistical support from the CIA, had managed to blow up the headquarters of the Syrian National Security during a Crisis Cell meeting: Generals Assef Chaoukat, Daoud Rajha and Hassan Tourkmani were killed instantly. Generals Amin Charabeh and Hicham Ikhtiar died soon after from their wounds. This operation, called "Damascus Volcano" was the signal for the attack on the capital by a swarm of mercenaries, mainly coming from Jordan.
Prince Bandar bin Sultan bin Abdulaziz Al Saud was hand in glove with the bush family.
IF the above is true, Turki al Faisal is all the USSA has left. Worse for the Saudi's than the drone attack on Syria's Defense Minister.
''Turkish foreign policy, codified by Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, used to be known in shorthand as "zero problems with our neighbors". When Turkey started calling for regime change in Syria, it turned into "a major problem with one of our neighbors" (even tough Davutoglu himself admitted on the record the policy change failed).
" >My comment would be that if AND I MEAN IF there was a valid deal offered to Iran by the US, it would be to have Syria removed, then it would follow the same path and destroy Iran.
You still don't understand why they want a regime change in Iran. They want to remove the ideology, eventually break the country into two parts: Balunchistan and Iran proper, and parts of in near the Caspian sea to go to form a new country for the Azeri population.
Now there's no need to say IF, the deal was at P5+1:
- Syria renounces resistance to israel - Syrian army is reduced in size to half then a quarter of its size, mainly used to police the country - Public betrayal of Hezbollah required to prove the deal is sealed
Syria REFUSED, furthermore, many were betting that Russia would give up at that point, but were wrong. The failure to kill Assad and the failure to take Damascus and Aleppo will be their undoing, they're going to make a big mistake soon and involve Turkey overtly.
The leaders don't want to engulf the world in a nuclear war for nothing, they're careful and have a long term plan.
3 Chinese vessels entered the Mediterranean, joining 8 Russian vessels off the coast of Syria. Can you finally put the pieces together and see your "5 Kings" split in the middle between the FUKUS axis and China/Russia?
China cannot lose Iran, it's not possible for them to survive long-term without this secure point of oil and leverage over the gulf. Do you not agree with this? Of course because of your 5 kings bullshit, you think China will just lower its head to be sliced clean off by America.
Do you understand what double vetoes, 3 times in a row, means? Do you understand what would happen to Russia's reputation if they allow a violation of their veto? Do you understand what is at stake here?
They've been trying to take down Syria in the most ferocious way, they've killed thousands of soldiers, wounded countless more, they've destroyed hundreds of armored vehicles, they've killed scientists, sanctioned literally EVERYTHING (I cannot even get a flight back home without going through Lebanon), destroyed infrastructure everywhere they've laid their hand on. They're calling this the dirtiest war in written history.
The country is still here and it's still fighting.
Russia, China, Iran, Syria and the resistance. If any one of them falls, all of them fall. There was great pressure on Iran to first accept the deal by America and betray Russia (who would then be engulfed by Islamists via destroyed Syria, Turkey). Then there was great pressure on Syria to make a deal, we all assumed that Russia would not veto the third time and would have to fight alone. Mistaken, even moving the "missile shield" out of Turkey wasn't a good enough deal for them. They knew that taking down Syria was multipurpose.
YOUR BIGGEST MISTAKE is assuming they just want to tie things up with Iran and then that's it. WRONG, their target is Russia (biggest landmass, most of the world's untapped resources) and China (industrial power house, huge untapped resources). They want to swallow the world.
Syria is the knot holding the rope together for the opposition to the US, if it's undone, it's over, there's no point resisting them anymore. I hope people understand the gravity of the situation."
