Greek Police Fire Tear Gas, Use Pepper Spray on Protesting Pensioners
Familiar scenes returned to Athens today, when Greek police fired teargas at a demonstration of pensioners protesting over cutbacks to their benefits, part of an austerity drive dictated by the Troika (or was it Quadriga). Between 1,500 and 2,0000 pensioners attempted to march to Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras’s office, however they were blocked when riot police blocked their path, intercepting them with pepper spray and tear gas.

Industry Insider Warns: America is a Tinderbox and Multiple Matches Could Set it on Fire
“We’ve Obviously Got A Major Financial Crisis Brewing”
Over the last month we’ve seen financial markets around the world rattled. Just this past week a bank that is considered to be one of the pillars of the global financial system was revealed to be in dire straights and so deep in debt that it is likely insolvent. Billionaires that include legendary investor Warren Buffet have existed broader stocks and are now sitting on the sidelines waiting for the next leg down. And even U.S. Presidential candidate Donald Trump, in a debate with rival Hillary Clinton, warned that a single misstep by America’s central bank could lead to a devastating crash.
In the following interview K92 Mining President Bryan Slusarchuk echoes these sentiments and explains that a confluence of economic, financial, monetary and geo-political events have left us in a position that is significantly more dangerous than at any time in recent history.
“We’ve obviously got a major financial crisis brewing… And people are now putting Deutsche Bank in the same sentence as Lehman Brothers… People are starting to realize that we might be in trouble like we were in 2008. However, the central bankers and the big national governments don’t have the same ammunition now that they had then to deal with the financial crisis…
“At the same time we’ve got a confluence of negative events… Not only are things downright scary in terms of the financial crisis that’s on our doorstep, but we’ve also got these huge geo-political tensions all over the world… “

Why Governments and Banks Want to Eliminate Your Cash
[M]onetary policymakers [have begun] to think about a policy of negative interest on bank reserves… But one thing was standing in the way — cash [because customers would move thier funds from banks and hold them as cash if interest rates were significantly negative.]. The zero lower bound, which might in fact be closer to negative 1%, is the second reason why economists like Ken Rogoff have suggested moving away from cash. In a cashless economy, the Fed could push interest rates as far negative as they wish.

ObamaCare Losses So Bad There’s No Money to Bail Out the Insurers
A few days ago, we talked about the continued disaster that is ObamaCare. But I thought it would be worth taking a close look at one specific aspect of this disaster, because if President Obama gets his way, it will cost you. Dearly. You might remember that, back in the days when the Obama Administration was trying to ram ObamaCare through Congress, health insurers were strangely on board supporting the bill. Why would they do that? Well, they would do it because — when you dug down deep into the bill — you saw that ObamaCare built in certain guarantees that seemed to offer big rewards and little risks for insurers. One, of course, was the individual mandate. What could be better than a law that requires everyone to become your customers?

If we are to stave off and reverse freedom’s self-destruction, we will have to go back to the source of that destruction. We will have to go back to 1913 and purge our country of the two institutions established in that year that gave the federal government the power to take over our lives — the progressive income tax and the Federal Reserve.
Only when these two Marxian tools have been abolished can we stem the tide of government aggrandizement that is destroying freedom and sanity in America. All political causes that ignore these two sources of government expansion are futile. Only by denying the bureaucratic Dracula in Washington its life blood can we hope to restore what the Founding Fathers bequeathed to us. The bureaucracy monster cannot grow without an income tax and inflationary monetary policy. End these two powers so ignorantly granted to Washington in 1913, and the Republic is saved. Ignore these two powers, and a horrific World Government will be our fate.

Why Do NWO Conspirators Fear Guns in the Hands of the People?
NWO globalist conspirators & their agents keep churning out anti- gun propaganda books
Now, why does the conspirators’-bankrolled “progressive Left” fear guns in the hands of law-abiding, peaceful NRA members but not in the hands of criminals? In the first place, because there is a symbiotic relationship between criminals and the government. Criminals, and now terrorists, give the U.S. government the justification they need for the growing police state in America. Secondly, because while criminals have never rebelled against a tyrannical government, armed citizens are capable of doing so.
Moreover, there has always been a symbiotic relationship between criminals and tyrannical governments. Higher levels of criminality give the government needed pretext for a growing militarized police force…
Now, why does the U.S. Government not want guns in the hands of the American people? Because guns don’t kill people, governments do, and the U.S. Government, hijacked by and fully under the control of the CFR globalist monopolists, hates competition.
The bottom line is that American love guns not because of NRA lobbying but because they love freedom and don’t trust the greatest potential enemy of their freedom: the armed to the teeth, CFR-controlled U.S. Government.

Journalist Says Anyone Who Doesn’t Support Islam or Muslims… Deserves to be Exterminated Like Rats!
Major Swedish journalist Cecilia Hagen wrote in a recent column about how much she detests rats. However, there was a political connotation. Hagen said called anyone that did not support what is, in effect, an Islamic invasion of Europe, is a “brown rat” and deserves to be exterminated.
Apparently, Ms. Hagen is one of the many voices that will not expose the corruption of her own government as it has covered up gang rape that is directly caused by a program that paid children to spend time with Muslims. Also, no one heard a peep from her when the biggest child sex exploitation in the country’s history, involving Muslims, was reported in 2015. And should we even bring up the rioting that took place in 2013? Yep, Islamists were at the core of that too.
However, this woman wants to blame her countrymen for the crimes of the Muslim invaders. It’s sick!

Secretary of State Kerry Admits War on ‘Legitimate’ Syrian Government is Illegal
Speaking on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York, the top US diplomat admitted that the administration’s lawyers had determined that any and all American intervention in Syria is illegal.
Experts have long criticized the legality of the US intervention in Syria under the tenets of international law given that the legitimate government of Bashar al-Assad has patently refused to welcome American intervention and has, in fact, repeatedly called on the United States to stop meddling in the ongoing civil war to which Washington is not a party to.
The State Department has long countered that their position is that the alleged attacks by the Assad regime on civilians, particularly in rebel-held East Aleppo, invalidates the Syrian leader’s legitimacy under international law under a doctrine known as “right to protect.”

Fukushima Radiation Has Contaminated the Entire Pacific Ocean (And it’s Going to Get Worse)
The nuclear disaster has contaminated the world’s largest ocean in only five years and it’s still leaking 300 tons of radioactive waste every day.
What was the most dangerous nuclear disaster in world history? Most people would say the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in Ukraine, but they’d be wrong. In 2011, an earthquake, believed to be an aftershock of the 2010 earthquake in Chile, created a tsunami that caused a meltdown at the TEPCO nuclear power plant in Fukushima, Japan. Three nuclear reactors melted down and what happened next was the largest release of radiation into the water in the history of the world. Over the next three months, radioactive chemicals, some in even greater quantities than Chernobyl, leaked into the Pacific Ocean. However, the numbers may actually be much higher as Japanese official estimates have been proven by several scientists to be flawed in recent years.
If that weren’t bad enough, Fukushima continues to leak an astounding 300 tons of radioactive waste into the Pacific Ocean every day. It will continue do so indefinitely as the source of the leak cannot be sealed as it is inaccessible to both humans and robots due to extremely high temperatures.
It should come as no surprise, then, that Fukushima has contaminated the entire Pacific Ocean in just five years. This could easily be the worst environmental disaster in human history and it is almost never talked about by politicians, establishment scientists, or the news. It is interesting to note that TEPCO is a subsidiary partner with General Electric (also known as GE), one of the largest companies in the world, which has considerable control over numerous news corporations and politicians alike. Could this possibly explain the lack of news coverage Fukushima has received in the last five years? There is also evidence that GE knew about the poor condition of the Fukushima reactors for decades and did nothing. This led 1,400 Japanese citizens to sue GE for their role in the Fukushima nuclear disaster.
Even if we can’t see the radiation itself, some parts of North America’s western coast have been feeling the effects for years. Not long after Fukushima, fish in Canada began bleeding from their gills, mouths, and eyeballs. This “disease” has been ignored by the government and has decimated native fish populations, including the North Pacific herring. Elsewhere in Western Canada, independent scientists have measured a 300% increase in the level of radiation. According to them, the amount of radiation in the Pacific Ocean is increasing every year. Why is this being ignored by the mainstream media? It might have something to do with the fact that the US and Canadian governments have banned their citizens from talking about Fukushima so “people don’t panic.”
[Comment: Check out the NOAA map of the radiation.]

Author’s Note: There’s a lot of information to cover here in one article. There are tremendous amounts of cross-references and sources. Some of these items you are undoubtedly familiar with; the report’s objective is to compile important details, dates, statements, and actions to present an overall view. This is to provide you with a “compendium” of actions taken and information gathered to refer to this real and imminent threat of a North Korean (or other nation’s) capabilities to strike the U.S. with an EMP (Electromagnetic Pulse) weapon.
For many years, now, the U.S. has been initiating actions with nations through its aggressive policies and military buildups and creating a “Second Cold War.” This is not the topic of this article. The U.S. military is spread thin: the number of forces on active duty have been reduced significantly, and our defenses are showing deeply-disturbing signs of wear, neglect, and loss of readiness. This too is a topic of discussion for another article, but some pertinent facts on U.S. reductions will be mentioned later in the article.
I wish to present the caveat that I have been mentioning in other articles:
The next world war will be initiated by an EMP weapon detonated over the continental United States, followed by a limited nuclear exchange and conventional warfare.
North Korea is going to be either the key player or the key “puppet” used by one of the other nations, and one of those nations may very well be the United States, a false flag operation surreptitiously commenced by the Obama administration. Obama may either provoke North Korea into starting it, or carry it out with an American missile and blame it on them. North Korea does have the ability to strike the U.S. with an EMP weapon. This excerpt was taken from a press briefing at the Pentagon:
“I believe they [the North Koreans] have the capability to have miniaturized the [nuclear] device at this point, and they have the technology to potentially, actually deliver what they say they have.”
(General Curtis Scaparrotti, U.S. Military Commander, S. Korea, 10/24/2014)

Kurz Says EU Should Drop Plan to Share Out Refugees
Austria’s foreign minister says the EU should drop its “unrealistic” proposal to share out refugees across the bloc, as voters in neighbouring Hungary rejected the plan in a closely-watched referendum.
Speaking to German daily Welt am Sonntag, Sebastian Kurz said the European Union should stop clinging to its troubled plan to distribute 160,000 refugees throughout member states, only a fraction of whom have been resettled so far.
Hungary has not accepted a single refugee of the 1,300 allocated under the scheme and instead joined Slovakia in filing a legal challenge against it.
“The target is totally unrealistic,” Kurz said, warning that countries’ disagreements over the plan could threaten “the cohesion of the entire European Union”. Another problem, he added, was that “many refugees refuse to go to certain EU countries such as Romania, Hungary and Poland — they want to go to Austria, Germany or Sweden.”
In another interview with German television network ARD on Sunday evening, he strongly criticized German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s open-door asylum policy: “Germany is forcing other countries to follow a policy that they do not want.”…

NOS reported that junior justice minister Klaas Dijkhoff attributed the increase to the strain placed on asylum seekers’ accommodation by the rapid increase in numbers over the last 12 months. Over the last six months the total population of accommodation centres has averaged 43,000.

Texas Officially Withdraws From Refugee Resettlement Program
Texas has officially withdrawn from the nation’s refugee resettlement program, Gov.Greg Abbott’s office said Friday. But that won’t stop the federal government from continuing to help refugees relocate here.
Citing security concerns, Abbott’s office said Texas will no longer participate in the federal program, which helps thousands of refugees from around the world resettle in the state. State officials threatened last week to withdraw from the resettlement program if the federal government did not “unconditionally approve” its amended state plan to only accept refugees who “are fully vetted and do not present a security threat” — part of Texas’ efforts to keep Syrian refugees out of the state.
“Texas has repeatedly requested that the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the director of national intelligence provide assurances that refugees resettled in Texas will not pose a security threat, and that the number of refugees resettled in Texas would not exceed the state’s original allocation in fiscal year 2016 — both of which have been denied by the federal government,” Abbott said in a statement.
