Market Recap – US Shares
The share market has peaked often in July but the real crisis seems to hit come September. This was the similar pattern at the July 20th, 1998 peak in the Economic Confidence Model. The share market made the peak precisely on the day of the ECM, but the crisis that unfold with the collapse of Russia followed and then the collapse in Long-Term Capital Market debacle.
This seems to be a similar set up. The volatility should rise and the key appears to be set up for the first week in September. So stay alert and on your toes.
Police Shoot First – Ask Questions Later?
The reason police should NOT be armed is very clear. TheyALWAYS shoot to kill and their victims end up dead with multiple shots. They never shoot just to disarm a person and far too often they kill people who are unarmed. The traffic stop where police start shooting at a woman and a minivan with children in it demonstrates the problem. They shoot first and do not even think what they are doing. This incident that made international newsillustrates the point. When people from Ukraine visited the offices here and even saw a policeman, they immediately tensed up and sought to move away. The idea that police in Eastern Europe and Russia were there to protect you has vanished. The police is so many countries are viewed as the adversary and this is how the very same trend is unfolding in the United States.
Yahoo Fighting Back – Moving Out of London to Preserve Security
Theresa Mary May PC MP (born October 1st, 1956) is a British Conservative politician, and the current UK Home Secretary. She was first elected to Parliament in 1997 as Member of Parliament for Maidenhead. She went on to be appointed Chairman of the Conservative Party and was sworn of Her Majesty’s Most Honourable Privy Council in 2002. She has served in a number of roles in the Shadow Cabinets, but she is no Margaret Thatcher. When Cameron became Prime Minister in May 2010, May was appointed Home Secretary
It is May who has summoned the internet giant Yahoo for an urgent meeting to raise security concerns after the company announced plans to move to Dublin where it is beyond the reach of Britain’s surveillance laws. Yahoo is moving to Dublin exiting London as its center for European, Middle East and Africa operations. In Dublin, Yahoo cannot be forced to hand over information demanded by Scotland Yard and the intelligence agencies through “warrants” issued under Britain’s controversial anti-terror laws.
Anyone who is really into terrorism knows what security they need to communicate. Ironically, even some places within the German government have reverted to the good old fashion typewriter that offers absolute security for real top-secret stuff.
Consequently, this gathering of information that is limitless is to track each and every person. This is not about terrorists. If you want to be secure, write a letter by hand. Forget emails, SMS, telephones – just buy some pigeons.
Yahoo may be the only company trying to fight back and they may be the better bet compared to everyone else these days. Yahoo is also planning to also exist Switzerland. The Swiss have basically surrender all sovereignty to just about everyone that comes calling. All they will be left with at the end of the day is chocolate and watches. They have been trying to remake themselves as THEplace for security in servers. But quite frankly, they gave everyone up in banking destroying their own industry will they be any better at providing secrecy for data against the aggressiveness of people like Theresa May who thinks she needs to know the thoughts of every person on the planet?
A Report Reveals Intelligence Agencies Have Access to Entire Internet
Documents have been surfacing illustrating that the American, British and Canadian intelligence agencies are violating civil liberties and the right top privacy on an alarming global scale. Such espionage work of entire countries has set democracy back decades. A team of scientists and journalists have now finally evaluated how the spies systematically map out and manipulate the Internet.
The British intelligence agencyGCHQ has to completely monitored the entire Internet mapping everything to its destination. Using a program calledHACIENDA, these paranoid spies have already accomplished full complete scans of 27 countries. There is no legislation to limit these people nor are there any justifications for such capabilities other than they are acting like Joseph Stalin and just have to know what everyone is saying and thinking not just planning and doing.
Now a team of scientists and journalists on have published and evaluated what has been going on behind the curtain. Among the authors are award-winning international journalists Revelation as Jacob Appelbaum and Laura Poitras and Henrik Moltke, as well as researchers for Internet security and espionage fields. According to this expert team, there is a massive and virtually complete utilization of illegal surveillance of the internet. The documents have shown how the spies systematically map out and manipulate the Internet. The intelligence agencies are at war not just against civil liberties on the street, but with the entire internet and nobody will defend the people. They seek to “dominate” the Internet and the experts speak of a “colonization of the network.”
“The broad spying wide variety of services, including the available service information across the entire network, indicates that the target the active mapping and collection of vulnerable systems in the world and not about education to specific target systems or persons.”
All systems and people would, according to the report, be targeted victims of attacks, only to obtain credentials that would also be useful only indirectly:
“The secret attack every possible system,probably only because it may provide access to other systems. Because potentially opens yes there somewhere the path to a valuable target. “
Their infiltration of everything everywhere is so alarming and abusive, such methods with the goal of monitoring at this level internationally amounts to a global totalitarianism. The report has noted that these agencies have used taxpayer’s money to secretly build systems to monitor the very taxpayers and allowing them to take over systems on the Internet is really no different from “the typical patterns of cyber criminals who use port scans to identify potential victims.”
“Scanning the server of entire countries and search for vulnerable sites in the infrastructure of networks, ultimately consequently follows the aim of” mastery of the Internet “, a program coordinated by the GCHQ interception of network connections.”
The scary part is such data being gathered from the scans a database which would be distributed in the Club Five-Eyes-spies, to which the United Kingdom, the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand belong, can also be tapped into by others who could then bribe their way into such data. This seems to be the Anglo-Saxon nations that are the most paranoid. Nonetheless, all such agencies are absolutely immunized from a prosecution of such attacks.
The Obama Dark Age
The arrogant President Obama suggested in an interview published in the New York Times on Saturday that you need to be a lawyer to understand the U.S. Constitution. This is precisely what I mean about law. It is always someone’s interpretation because it is impossible to ever write anything and have it mean a single thing.
Obama made the outrageous suggestion that only lawyers understand the Constitution that is reminiscent of the Dark Ages when that very same proposition was argued as to when the Bible could only be read by priest – never the average person.This was the Dark Age when people could not read and Obama has done everything possible to destroy the foundation of law and the Constitution clearly in his mind because it means only whatever he says it does.
Obama’s outlandish statement was made when talking about members of Congress who have argued he does not have the constitutional authority to unilaterally suspend enforcement of parts of the Obamacare law. To set the record ABSOLUTELY STRAIGHT, Obama is without question WRONG!!!!!! He has the power to veto a law, but to suspend a law. The Constitution provides no such discretion whatsoever.
The New York Times even asked Obama if he “consulted” with“his” lawyer when making that outrageous decision to suspend the employer mandate, which would require businesses with more than 50 employees to buy them health insurance, and which was supposed to take effect on Jan. 1, 2014. Obama’s arrogant dodging of the question illustrates the dangerous position he has place the country in.
“[I]f you heard me on stage today, what I said was that I will seize any opportunity I can find to work with Congress to strengthen the middle class, improve their prospects, improve their security,”
“But where Congress is unwilling to act, I will take whatever administrative steps that I can in order to do right by the American people.”
“And if Congress thinks that what I’ve done is inappropriate or wrong in some fashion, they’re free to make that case,” Obama added. “But there’s not an action that I take that you don’t have some folks in Congress who say that I’m usurping my authority. Some of those folks think I usurp my authority by having the gall to win the presidency. And I don’t think that’s a secret.”
“But, ultimately, I’m not concerned about their opinions–very few of them, by the way, are lawyers, much less constitutional lawyers.”
Obama was merely a lecturer on constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School from 1992 to 1996, and a senior lecturer from 1996 to 2004. He is by no means a specialist in Constitutional Law. There is no question that he does not have the power to pick and choose when mandates are enforced, contrary to the law. As President, he has sworn to faithfully execute the law of the land – not enforce whatever he like or not. That very position would nullify the entire Congress and mean that the United States is a dictatorship, not a Republic. There would be no purpose to elections whatsoever if the President is exempt from the law and the Executive branch has the duty to enforce the laws that only the people can introduce through their pretend representatives in Congress,
Suspending the deadline for the Obamacare mandate that requires large employers to provide health insurance for their workers that was supposed to begin on Dec. 31, 2013 was a political decision that he does not want to take effect until he leaves office for it will cause serious rise in unemployment. Any company with even slightly more than 50 employees will fire all excessive to avoid such expenses. Others will split companies and still others will hire temp employees if not move to contract status rather than employee status. This will also set in motion the end of pensions.
Obama’s argument that only LAWYERS can understand the Constitution is so arrogant it is just unbelievable. George Washington presided over the convention that drafted the Constitution and established the presidency and he was not a lawyer. Therefore, how can there be a Constitution if those who drafted and voted on the Constitution were not lawyers? Is the entire thing just babble?
This is yet another example of the arrogance of Obama and the very wrong path this man has taken the country down and this is not even about left and right politics. This is the great expanded power of Stalinistic surveillance he has supported and endorsed that is inconsistent with criticism the actions in Ferguson, and his Dark Age view of the Constitution illustrates he sees himself with the power of dictator and does not respect the separation of powers of the idea that the people have any role in government.
