Russia Backs Bitcoin Curbs as Central Bank Snubs Sberbank Plan

Posted on by

“Bitcoin deals in Russia may fall afoul of anti-terrorism laws, the central bank warned after virtual currencies were championed last week by the head of state-controlled OAO Sberbank.  Transactions such as purchasing rubles or goods and services with virtual currencies may be treated as ‘dubious’ operations under laws against money laundering and financial terrorism, the central bank said today in a website statement.  Issuing ‘money surrogates’ is illegal in Russia, the regulator said.  Sberbank Chief Executive Officer Herman Gref said last week that he’d urged the Kremlin, Bank Rossii and the Finance Ministry to stop lawmakers from barring cryptocurrencies.”

The end of the mortgage party? Home lending plummets at big banks

Posted on by

“Rising mortgage rates mean that fewer people are refinancing their homes, which bludgeoned fourth-quarter mortgage results at Wells Fargo & Co. and J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., the country’s leading residential lenders, according to earnings reports released Tuesday.  It’s all quite a change from a year ago, when mortgage revenue was still propelling results at both Wells and J.P. Morgan. Fifteen months ago, J.P. Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon declared that the housing market ‘has turned a corner,’ and Wells Fargo CEO John Stumpf added, ‘Every quarter, we have more confidence.'”

Tobacco, booze, now sugar: the control freaks happily ban everything

Posted on by

“Can you imagine campaigns as ludicrous as this being launched, say, in the 1970s or 1980s? No you can’t because not even the most extreme killjoy zealot would have dared. With bans, as with so many of the fascistic gestures you associate with the authoritarian left, it’s a Pastor Niemoller thing.  Left-liberals often deny that slippery slope exists. ‘Well of course we’re not interested in banning everything. Just the really dangerous stuff. Tobacco.’ Then, of course, when they’ve pretty much regulated tobacco out of existence their locust eyes turn to new territory. Mm: alcohol. Mm: sugar. Mm. salt… etc.”

Dangerous Organizations of the National Security State

Posted on by

google-search-header2

“Predictably, President Obama has done nothing significant to diminish the National Security State. He presided over its expansion. Why should he want to undo it?  It’s a big mistake, however, in understanding the National Security State (NSS) and what to do about it to focus on Obama. The issue concerning the NSS is much deeper than one man, one president and a few terms of office.  Once we understand the NSS, we will see that it will only disappear in two cases. Either it falls when the American Empire falls, or it falls if Americans fundamentally rethink and change their entire government.”

Obama’s Lies, NSA Spies, and the Sons of Liberty

Posted on by

AGOW_WebAD_Small2

“When it comes to the NSA, Obama has been lying to the American people for quite some time now. There was the time he claimed the secret FISA court is ‘transparent.’ Then he insisted that ‘we don’t have a domestic spying program.’ And then, to top it all off, he actually insisted there was no evidence the NSA was ‘actually abusing’ its power. As David Sirota writes: ‘it has now become almost silly to insinuate or assume that the president hasn’t also been lying. Why? Because if that’s true — if indeed he hasn’t been deliberately lying — then it means he has been dangerously, irresponsibly and negligently ignorant of not only the government he runs, but also of the news breaking around him.'”

Sheldon Richman: The Surveillance State Lives

Posted on by

“President Obama has some nerve. He opened his speech on NSA spying by likening his surveillance regime to Paul Revere and the Sons of Liberty. How insulting! They were helping people resist government tyranny, and the British spied on them to put down the coming rebellion.  To the extent Obama has become more favorable to surveillance since the Bush years it’s apparently because, as a former aide told the New York Times, ‘he trusts himself to use these powers more than he did the Bush administration.’  In light of this flagrant disregard for the truth and willingness to bamboozle the people, why should anyone take Obama’s ‘reforms’ seriously?”

Obama reveals himself as a champion of the surveillance state

Posted on by

“The president is at least as fond of passive constructions as Chris ‘Mistakes Were Made’ Christie. ‘Too often,’ Obama said, ‘new authorities were instituted without adequate public debate.’ But before the Snowden revelations, the American public didn’t know that the administration considered all Americans’ call records ‘relevant’ to terrorism investigations under section 215 of the Patriot Act–and Obama liked it that way.  Still, Obama pointed out, his review group on NSA surveillance found ‘no indication that this database has been intentionally abused.’ In the speech, Obama congratulated himself for maintaining a ‘healthy skepticism towards our surveillance programs.'”

No Place to Hide: We’re All Suspects in Barack Obama’s America

Posted on by

“Instead of crediting Snowden for forcing what the president concedes is a much-needed debate, Obama bizarrely cited the example of Paul Revere and the other early American rebels in the Sons of Liberty to denounce their modern equivalent. But the ‘secret surveillance committee’ Obama referenced that Revere and his fellow underground conspirators established was intended to subvert rather than celebrate the crimes of the British controlled government in power.  While modern town crier Snowden is judged guilty of a crime without trial, the folks in the NSA who have been spying on us are all depicted as honorable people to be presumed innocent, no matter evidence to the contrary.”

Cameron, While Trying to Ban Internet, Praises Lapdog Press

Posted on by

the-daily-bell-top-logo61

“Cameron has been especially active in attempting to squash British press freedoms in the arena of the alternative media. He is currently trying to ensure that alternative media websites are not distributed in Britain under the guise of attacking the dissemination of pornography.  For Cameron to pretend that the British mainstream press is in any sense energetic or uncontrolled is an almost laughable position. He presents himself in some ways as a defender of the British press – and this is equally ludicrous. He gives this speech while engaged in an active effort to retard the alternative ‘Net media – a stance that is hypocritical, indeed.”
