OECD Warns Fed, BOJ, ECB of Asset Bubbles, “Risks to Financial Stability,” Pinpoints US Stocks & Real Estate

http://wolfstreet.com/2016/09/21/oecd-warns-fed-boj-ecb-of-asset-bubbles-risks-to-financial-stability-pinpoints-us-stocks-real-estate/

Financial instability risks are rising, including from exceptionally low interest rates and their effects on financial assets and real estate prices.”

Low interest rates underpin widespread and substantial increases in asset prices, both internationally and across asset classes, which increases the likelihood and vulnerability of a sharp correction in asset prices.

A reassessment in financial markets of interest rates could result in substantial re-pricing of assets and heighten financial volatility even if interest rates were to remain below long-term averages.

This is as close to code speak by financial authorities that markets are about to crash.

Secret Pentagon Report Reveals US "Created" ISIS As A "Tool" To Overthrow Syria's President Assad

Any and all wars are about a land and sea grab of resources, and with the USDollar as the global reserve currency--it's all about the dollar.

Negative interest rates in the US? Just ask the FDIC.

When I was giving presentations on imminent bank bail-ins in 2013, I specifically pointed out inadequate FDIC funds.  Simon Black confirms the numbers today.

Hillary emails confirm US and NATO destroyed Libya over gold-backed currency

In the "I told you so" category, Gaddafi did perish as he tried to start a gold-backed African-centric currency.  This was the true "Arab spring."

http://www.hangthebankers.com/hillary-emails-us-nato-libya-gold-backed-currency/

Though the French-proposed U.N. Security Council Resolution 1973 claimed the no-fly zone implemented over Libya was to protect civilians, an April 2011 email sent to Hillary with the subject line “France’s client and Qaddafi’s gold” tells of less noble ambitions.

The email identifies French President Nicholas Sarkozy as leading the attack on Libya with five specific purposes in mind: to obtain Libyan oil, ensure French influence in the region, increase Sarkozy’s reputation domestically, assert French military power, and to prevent Gaddafi’s influence in what is considered “Francophone Africa.”

Most astounding is the lengthy section delineating the huge threat that Gaddafi’s gold and silver reserves, estimated at “143 tons of gold, and a similar amount in silver,” posed to the French franc (CFA) circulating as a prime African currency. In place of the noble sounding “Responsibility to Protect” (R2P) doctrine fed to the public, there is this “confidential” explanation of what was really driving the war [emphasis mine]: 

This gold was accumulated prior to the current rebellion and was intended to be used to establish a pan-African currency based on the Libyan golden Dinar. This plan was designed to provide the Francophone African Countries with an alternative to the French franc (CFA).

(Source Comment: According to knowledgeable individuals this quantity of gold and silver is valued at more than $7 billion. French intelligence officers discovered this plan shortly after the current rebellion began, and this was one of the factors that influenced President Nicolas Sarkozy’s decision to commit France to the attack on Libya.)

Greenspan: US 'Way Underestimating' the National Debt

Don't listen to me, but absolutely hear out Alan Greenspan.  Not because he was the former Fed Chairman, but precisely because he is no longer the Fed Chairman and can now speak the truth.

Reuters Objectively See’s Russia’s Options as Losing or… Losing Badly

This is one of the most important articles I've read on the geopolitical struggles encountering the US.  NATO, the US, and the global banking cartels are at war with Russia, but the true battle is against China's growing presence as a superpower.  King Dollar is about to topple, and the western powers are doing everything to preserve its reserve currency status.

Clinging on to ultimate superpower status never works.  It can be extended, but it cannot be reversed.

It’s official (finally): The US is no longer the world’s #1 economy

http://www.sovereignman.com/trends/its-official-finally-the-us-is-no-longer-the-worlds-1-economy-15689/

The West, and the US in particular, is plagued by:

Insane debt levels, which the government has been accumulating at faster and faster rates, hitting an unprecedented $18 trillion in debt this past week.

Short-sighted monetary policy, from quantitative easing that has debased the currency to negative interest rates that have wiped out any reason to be smart with money.

A crippled economy, as Western nations’ oppressive taxation frightens away the productive, and handouts have created a society of dependency.

Global bullying, as the US spies on its own citizens and allies, compelling businesses and governments to terminate their relationships with the Land of the Free.

Waging endless wars, whether against nouns (‘terrorism’), plants (‘drugs’), and brown people on the other side of the planet who supposedly hate us for our freedom. If they only knew…

A population that lives in fear, as you are more likely to get shot by your own police in the United States today than to ever even see a terrorist.

It’s pretty hard to maintain the top spot when that’s what you stand for.
