“The dialogue that Snowden has started can now be used to create a dialectic that will result in the rationalization of mass spying. Gradually, the idea that there is no privacy left – if Anglosphere elites have their way – is going to be enshrined into law. This will take a number of years. In the meantime … We will be bombarded over the next few years with constant reminders of how efficient government Intel is at spying and how much they know. This is actually a further meme aimed at terrorizing people who want to resist the encroaching Leviathan. This Reuters article advances both these points in an almost mechanical way.”

Farce of Globalism: World Bank Becomes Top Cop?
“The World Bank has a new mission. The Economic Times tells us that the World Bank has a new enemy to confront. It is not poverty but ‘corruption.’ The reason that these enormous global facilities are receiving more and more power and authority is not because they work well or even work at all. It is because the internationalists who set them up want them to expand as a way of building world government. Call it directed history. These agents of globalism will continually acquire power no matter the reality of their missions. They were never what they appeared to be. In the 21st century, it becomes increasingly apparent as the Internet Reformation era advances.”

Angela Merkel: Let Us Deepen the Union to Raid It
“The main point of this campaign will be to rewrite the Lisbon Treaty so that Brussels can basically raise taxes at will as part of an EU ‘coordination’ effort while imagining much more in the way of ‘modernizing’ that the EU can undertake. This is actually the recipe for further EU disasters, as additional taxation combined with further expansive public works will unbalance federal Europe in much the same way as its nation-states. What Merkel and the rest have in mind is a naked power grab that will allow Brussels to do the taxing and spending that is now occurring at a national level.”

Saving Europe’s banks: EU gets landmark deal

“Europe has agreed the core elements of a banking union that mark the most significant pooling of national power since the birth of the euro. European Union leaders meeting in Brussels Thursday will sign off a compromise deal hammered out overnight by their finance ministers after months of difficult negotiations. It will then go to European lawmakers for final approval before May 2014. The banking union is central to the eurozone’s response to future financial crises. The aim is to stop bank collapses from trashing national economies — a fate Ireland suffered in 2010 — and destabilizing the euro.”

United Nations Approves Internet Privacy Resolution

“The United Nations’ human rights committee passed a ‘right to privacy’ resolution that was sponsored by Germany and Brazil. The new document protects the right to privacy against illegal surveillance even in the online world. The resolution states specifically that governments and companies who deal with surveillance or data interception ‘may violate or abuse human rights.’ Despite the already-long history of the Internet, this is the first time that human rights in the online medium are mentioned, pointing out that these should prevail, everywhere. Fifty-five countries co-sponsored the resolution, including nations such as France, Russia and North Korea.”

OECD seeks inspiration from FATCA model

“A new standard of exchanging information on tax is expected to be introduced in countries belonging to the OECD. The new system will probably by based on US anti-tax evasion legislation known as FATCA, according to Pascal Saint-Amans, director of the OECD’s Centre for Tax Policy and Administration. Saint-Amans spoke to swissinfo.ch about the plans to introduce automatic exchange of tax information which the OECD intends to present for scrutiny next February. This future international standard is considered to be much more exacting than the current model and incompatible with the present system in Switzerland.”

G. Edward Griffin on Globalism, Collectivism and the ‘Right Principles’

“I think the most important thing we can do today is to recognize that our opponents are not evil because of their political party affiliation. They’re not our opponents because they’re evil or because they have this, that or the other thing. It’s because they have an ideal, a philosophy that they’re following. People mistakenly often just attack them because of the party labels – ‘Get rid of him. He’s a Democrat!’ or ‘He’s a Republican. Get rid of him!’ Who’s going to replace him? Somebody just exactly the same, with the same mindset. So it does no good to focus on personalities and names. We have to rise above that and focus on the ideas these individuals are pursuing.”
Barbados Debt Higher Than Cyprus Prompts Firing of 3,000
“Barbados will fire 3,000 public sector workers by March and freeze wages as the eastern Caribbean island’s debt burden soars and the International Monetary Fund says ‘urgent adjustments’ are needed. Barbados’s ratio of debt to gross domestic product reached 94 percent in September, the IMF said today, more than the 93 percent that forced Cyprus to seek a European Union-brokered bailout in March. Finance Minister Chris Sinckler told lawmakers yesterday that the government risks ‘further hemorrhaging’ of its reserves and the local currency’s peg to the dollar if nothing is done. Barbados’s financial struggles are mirrored across much of the Caribbean, which has seen eight debt defaults since 2003.”
European Union Warns on Bitcoin
“The European Union on Friday added to a string of recent warnings about the safety of using and investing in Bitcoin, the virtual currency that is not issued by any government. The union’s banking authority said consumers needed to be aware that they were not protected through regulation when paying with Bitcoins. The digital currency is vulnerable to hackers, might lose its value and any misuse could prompt law enforcement agencies to close Bitcoin exchange platforms and keep consumers from accessing their investment, the European regulator said, adding that it was looking into whether such currencies could and should be regulated.”

FT ‘Explains’ the Decline and Fall of the West
“The FT article contains a threat. Here it is: ‘Another decade of western economic malaise – or, God forbid, another financial crisis – is likely to see more radical solutions and politicians emerging.’ That’s how the article ends, and in our estimation the article was written to provide this conclusion. The whole idea of destabilizing the West is quite possibly to create enough chaos to offer globalist solutions. Part of the destabilization will be the implementation of false-flag political organizations and ‘fascist’ sociopolitical solutions that will be used to justify aggressive internationalism. This is the same playbook that was used – on a trial basis – in the 1930s and 1940s.”
