Do not believe in anything because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders.” - Buddha

Update: Emergency: UNC issues 'All Clear'

“It is not in doubt. ISIS is almost finished. They are weak. If only America would stop supporting them, we could defeat them in days.”

The EU is warning Greece it faces suspension from the Schengen passport-free travel zone unless it overhauls its response to the migration crisis by mid-December, as frustration mounts over Athens’ reluctance to accept outside support. Meanwhile non-EU member Turkey gloats as it gets a soon to be embezzled wire transfer of €3.0 billion for its "proactive" refugee response.

The catch-22 for ownership is once they are in this position is that they cannot fire the players, so the coach must always be the one to get fired.

So what do you do when you’re a barbaric monarchy with a justice system remarkably similar to ISIS, but at the same time want to remain very close ally of the U.S. government? You create a sophisticated propaganda network, naturally.

Update: MAYOR OF ISTANBUL'S BAYRAMPASA DISTRICT SAYS EXPLOSION NEAR  METRO STATION CAUSED BY BOMB, FIVE INJURED: RTRS

One person has been killed and at least six more injured as Turkey's Haberturk TV reports an explosion occurred at an Istanbul Metro station. The trains have been halted, passengers evacuated, and ambulances are on their way.

While gold prices continue to languish in the doldrums and are on course for their worst month since 2013, global demand and especially Chinese retail, investor and official demand continues to remain very robust.

Apparently taking a page out of the Spanish government's playbook, Argentines in the Santa Cruz region were surprised yesterday afternoon when at least five bright yellow armored trucks accompanied by heavily armed police paraded through the city. Just weeks after Kirchner's Peroniost government lost the election, and coming after five office fires (destroying banking and economic files from the current regime), local press reports the trucks loaded up with $130 million of banknotes at the airport and driven to banks in the region where outgoing President Kirchner's sister-in-law is governor. Amid comments by the central bank that there are no reserves left, and ongoing discussions of larger banknote denominations and (implied 50% devaluations), one could only speculate where the officially "business-as-usual" transfer of $100s of millions of banknotes will end up.

The latest deranged idea floated by US 'ally and friend' Saudi Arabia’s monarchs is to sue Twitter users comparing the barbaric kingdom to ISIS. The following table demonstrates precisely why the Saudis are so sensitive about the topic. Namely, because the accusations are true.
