How the thugs killed Odessa inhabitants in the Trade Unions House - the details of bloody scenario

Note: Great tragedy happened to the port city of Odessa at Friday, May 2nd, 2014. Supporters of federalism were chased to the Trade Unions House by Right Sector mob. The building caught fire soon afterwards, which resulted (by official reports) in 42 deaths. It’s clear that the number of casualties in the Trade Unions House is far greater. Provocateurs captivated people into the building where it was possible to kill them with impunity, with great relish, and without witnesses. Fire inside the building was directed in order to hide mass murdering of Ukrainian citizens.

Speculation on Greek default mounts as EU demands still more cuts

By Robert Stevens 

11 February 2012

Following days of talks in which Greece’s governing parties finally agreed to a massive programme of spending cuts, euro zone finance ministers on Thursday upped the ante, demanding an additional €325 million in cuts in exchange for a loan of €130 billion ($170 billion). Without the new loan from the “troika”—the European Commission, European Central Bank (ECB) and International Monetary Fund (IMF)—Greece will default on its debts of more than €350 billion on March 20. On that date it is required to repay bonds of €14.5 billion it previously sold.

With speculation mounting of a possible forced exit from the euro, the unelected governing coalition led by Prime Minister Lucas Papademos is pledging to meet whatever requirements are demanded of it in a parliamentary vote expected to be held Sunday.

Peter Schiff Speaks to James Rickards, Author of Currency Wars

Though much has happened in the gold market this month – notably, a Fed pledge that has awakened the sleeping bull – we wanted to take a step back and shed some light on what is fundamentally driving the precious metals market today.

A Wall Street pro named James Rickards recently released his first book, Currency Wars: The Making of the Next Global Crisis, and it's creating a buzz. Euro Pacific Precious Metals' CEO Peter Schiff often talks about competitive devaluation of currencies as the main driver behind our gold and silver investments. Recently, Peter sat down with James to get his perspective on what's behind these currency wars, and find out what he recommends investors do to preserve their wealth through this tumultuous time.

Peter Schiff: You portray recent monetary history as a series of currency wars – the first being 1921-1936, the second being 1967-1987, and the third going on right now. This seems accurate to me. In fact, my father got involved in economics because he saw the fallout of what you would call Currency War II, back in the '60s. What differentiates each of these wars, and what is most significant about the current one?

James Rickards: Currency wars are characterized by successive competitive devaluations by major

20 Signs That Europe Is Plunging Into A Full-Blown Economic Depression

An economic nightmare is descending on Europe.  With each passing month, the economic numbers across Europe get even worse.  At this point it is becoming extremely difficult for anyone to deny that Europe is plunging into a full-blown economic depression.  In fact, some parts of Europe are already there.  In Spain the overall unemployment rate is over 22 percent, and in Greece one out of every five retail establishments has already been closed down.  All over Europe, economic activity is rapidly slowing down, unemployment is skyrocketing and bad debts are unraveling.  It isn't even going to take a default by a nation such as Greece or a collapse of the euro to push Europe into an economic depression.  All Europe has to do is to stay on the exact path that it is on right now and it will get there.  Normally, European governments would respond to an economic slowdown by increasing government spending.  But this time most of them are already drowning in debt.  Instead of increasing government spending, most governments in Europe are actually cutting back.  All over Europe, national governments are being encouraged to implement even more tax increases and even more budget cuts.  The hope is that all of this austerity will help solve the nightmarish sovereign debt crisis that Europe is facing.  But unfortunately, all of these tax increases and budget cuts are also going to involve a tremendous amount of economic pain.

The frightening thing is that we are just at the beginning of the process for most European nations.  If you want to see where nations such as Portugal, Italy and Spain are headed, just take a look at Greece.  Greece has been going down this road for several years, and there is still no light at the end of the tunnel for them.

Currency Warfare: What are the Real Targets of the E.U. Oil Embargo against Iran?

Who is the European Union’s so-called “oil embargo on Iran” really aimed at? This is an important geo-strategic question. Aside from rejecting the new E.U. measures against Iran as counter-productive, Tehran has warned the member states of the European Union that the E.U. oil embargo against Iran will hurt them and their economies far more than Iran. Tehran has thus warned the leaders of the E.U. countries that the new sanctions are foolish and against their national and bloc interests, but is this correct? At the end of the day, who will benefit from the chain of events that are being set into motion? 

Are Oil Embargos against Iran New?

Oil embargos against Iran are not new. In 1951, the Iranian administration of Prime Minister Mohammed Mossadegh with the support of the Iranian Parliament nationalized the Iranian oil industry. As a result of Dr. Mossadegh’s nationalization program the British militarily blockaded the territorial waters and national ports of Iran with the British Royal Navy and prevented Iran from exporting its oil. They also militarily prevented Iranian trade. London also froze Iranian assets and started a campaign to isolate Iran with sanctions. The government of Dr. Mossadegh was democratic and could not be vilified easily domestically by the British, so they began to portray Mossadegh as a pawn of the Soviet Union who would turn Iran into a communist country with his Marxist political allies.

Europe: The Liars Club, Who Really Owes the Money

The EU is a Financial Shell Game

by  Gordon Duff,  Senior Editor

You have been hearing Europe is broke but what you have heard has been filtered through newspapers and TV stations owned by “certain groups” paid to lie to you. 

Your information is useless, as usual, like everything else you think you know. 

Let me tell you a short story and then drop some minor facts any 2 year old could check that will, we hope, make you question other things.

Other than peddling lies on the internet, correct that, “information” that contradicts the harmful mythology peddled by media with an agenda quite directly orchestrated by organized crime syndicates, I work in murders and executions, tied to the defense industry.

Euroschizophrenia 2011

The year 2011 will be remembered as a period of unprecedented uncertainty in the history of modern Europe. On the one hand, contrary to widespread apocalyptic expectations, the EU did not crumble and the amplitude of the oscillations in the value of the relatively young European currency did stay within tolerable limits. On the other, it is clear that the integrated Europe's worst crash tests are still ahead and that the difficulties confronting the EU are a lot more systemic than circumstantial.

The controversial resolutions produced by the December, 2011 EU summit reflected the new reality of the alliance which in its better days used to function in an automatic regime but from now on will require “manual control”. The fundamental reason why tough measures like the establishment of the European stability fund or the promulgation of a fairly intrusive fiscal pact for the EU member-countries have to be taken - and why clashes multiply within the EU over the economy, foreign policies, etc. -  is the epic failure of the European integration principles adopted in the 1990ies. Assessing the severity of the situation, French minister for European affairs Jean Leonetti bluntly warned last December that “the Euro and the entire Europe could break up if the leaders of the European Union fail to tackle
