Filling the FATCA void

Posted on by

“The overwhelming consensus back in the early days of the last century, was, ‘Why would an American want to leave their country?’  Yet out of today’s seven million US expats who are abroad, over one thousand this year alone have also chucked away their national identity. They have done so due to the impending FATCA rules which threaten their own financial planning continuity, cutting off access to channels of advice and financial management. The reporting restrictions to the American taxman – the IRS – that FATCA places on all non-US companies dealing with US clients are now deemed far too complex and costly for large institutions to comply with.”

UN seeks Syria peace talks amid military strike threat

Posted on by

“”The United Nations is making a desperate new push for a Syria peace conference even as the United States prepares a possible military strike, according to diplomats. UN Under Secretary General Jeffrey Feltman discussed a possible conference during a landmark visit last week to Iran, a key backer of President Bashar al-Assad, UN officials and diplomats said. The prospect of a military strike and Syria’s divided opposition, which has demanded that Assad be kept out of any transitional government, bears heavily on the prospects for talks however.  Some western leaders believe there can be no conference until Assad has been punished for his alleged use of chemical weapons.”

British government says big change needed before new Syria vote

Posted on by

“The careful wording of the government’s statements left room for supporters of military action against Syria to keep pressing for a new vote once US lawmakers have decided. Former international development minister Andrew Mitchell, a member of Cameron’s Conservative party, said nothing should be ruled out. ‘It may be, after lengthy and careful consideration, (that) Congress affirms its support for the president’s plans and, in the light of that, our parliament may want to consider this matter further,’ he told BBC radio.  Cameron suffered the most humiliating defeat of his three years in power when Conservative rebels joined Labour in voting against military action by 285 to 272.”

Who Stands Where in the Debate Over Taking Action Against Syria

Posted on by

“While Congress, yawning and stretching its arms after the August recess, is just starting to figure out how it wants to respond to President Obama’s call on Saturday for a vote on punitive strikes on Syria, several distinct contingents have emerged in the Congressional debate, each represented by a familiar face on Capitol Hill: 1. The Administration contingent;  2. The Amash-Paul ‘no strikes’ contingent;  3. The Reid-Menendez-Leahy ‘limited strikes’ contingent;  4.  The Graham-McCain ‘more than strikes’ contingent;  5. The ‘I’m Running in 2016’ contingent.”

What To Expect During The Next Stage Of Collapse

Posted on by

“The goal, I believe, is to utterly transform the world’s political, economic, and social systems.  The goal is to generate intense fear; fear that can be used as capital to buy, as the globalists call it, a ‘new world order’.  Syria is the first domino in a long chain of calamities; what the Rand Corporation sometimes refers to as a ‘linchpin’.  As I write this, the Obama Administration is moving naval and ground forces into position and clamoring in a painfully pathetic fashion to convince the American public that 90% of us are ‘wrong’ and that a strike on Syria is, in fact, necessary.  It appears that the establishment is dead set on starting this chain reaction and accelerating the global collapse.”

How Will You Deal With $10 a Gallon Gas?

Posted on by

“If nahhnlevven was sufficient to get most Americans to accept a government that accepts virtually no limits on its authoritay, just imagine – if you can – what $10 a gallon gas would accomplish. Our world – as we have known it – would come to an end. But a new world – the world being readied for us – will be there to take its place.  Better get ready. Better enjoy being able to go for a drive just for the hell of it while you still can. And, better stock up. There have been all-too-many false alarms; too much in the way of glib doomsaying. But this one’s potentially the real deal. Whatever’s truly going on behind the scenes, you can rest assured it’s not being done with your interests or mine in mind.”

How to Start a War by the Bootstrap Method

Posted on by

google-search-header2

“The U.S. need never again be at peace, because it has so many ways to get war going.  There is now a new way to create a war. Obama has invented it.  At this point in its history, the empire no longer needs to be attacked, by an actual or fabricated attack. It no longer needs to manufacture a pretext. It no longer needs to say that there is a threat of a threat. It no longer needs to suspect weapons of mass destruction. It no longer needs to point to an humanitarian concern. It no longer needs to mention national security.  Obama’s method is simple. Make a threat by drawing a red line. There need be no relation of that line to any U.S. interest or to national defense or an attack on America.”

Ron Paul: Will Congress Endorse Obama’s War Plans? Does it Matter?

Posted on by

“According to recent media reports, the military does not have enough money to attack Syria and would have to go to Congress for a supplemental appropriation to carry out the strikes. It seems our empire is at the end of its financial rope. The limited strikes that the president has called for in Syria would cost the US in the hundreds of millions of dollars. Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey wrote to Congress last month that just the training of Syrian rebels and ‘limited’ missile and air strikes would cost ‘in the billions’ of dollars. We should clearly understand what another war will do to the US economy, not to mention the effects of additional unknown costs such as a spike in fuel costs as oil skyrockets.”

Deadly Cyberattacks Highlight the Need for a Cybersecurity Upgrade

Posted on by

“The Sayano-Shushenskaya hydro-dam disaster was a cyberattack. You can characterize it as an accident in the nature of ‘friendly fire.’ But overall, this cascading wave of destruction was triggered by a bad computer command.  Sayano-Shushenskaya demonstrates the immense scope of destruction that can come from cyberattacks. Indeed, per Gen. Alexander, only nuclear bombs and other weapons of mass destruction can cause more damage, faster, over wider areas. [..] In a speech at the National Press Club, Napolitano stated that the U.S. ‘will, at some point, face a major cyber event that will have a serious effect on our lives, our economy and the everyday functioning of our society.'”

Holder promises to ease marijuana law enforcement in states with legal pot

Posted on by

“The United States Department of Justice announced Thursday that for the time being it will cease pursuing actions against Colorado and Washington over discrepancies in state and federal marijuana policies. The federal government did reserve the right to enact new laws in the future, however, adding in its memo that ‘if any of the stated harms do materialize — either despite a strict regulatory scheme or because of the lack of one — federal prosecutors will act aggressively to bring individual prosecutions focused on federal enforcement priorities and the Department may challenge the regulatory scheme themselves in these states.'”
