How come I get a haircut?? I'm not Russian!

How about a Mullet labelled "The Banker". (Short on the front.... long on the back where you aren't supposed to notice it).
Or maybe a wig made of everyone else's hair.
Here Is Greg Hunter's view:

It is not all doom&gloom folks those formerly shy maidens in portugal are riding with the same neccessary zeal as their brazillian counterparts and in pairs! The catholic church will never be the same (or maybe it has always been the same ) as witness even the black widows in italy are being sent out by their husbands to the brothels most nights!
What's gonna hurt this new breed of student hookers in portugal is not only the rise in tuition fees ( punter overtime ) but now shafted by an imminent bank tax on their hard earned ( double dipped ).
Izz an Injusteeez it izz!
simply brilliant WB,
checking in is easy....
checking out is Hell.

Hot money: Those of you who are familiar with the Asian financial crisis know what "hot money" means. And right now, the Euro is a hot skillet.
They should be hiring Indonesian, Malaysian and Thai lawyers in Europe right now.
The IMF and Wall Street put Asean through the wringer and now what goes around is coming back around.
Awesome! Good stuff as always, i'm a bit partial to the Bruce Krasting
Russkaya Mafiya and the Oligarch gets the girls.
"Checking in is easy, Checking out is hell"
The South found that out when they tried to check out (secede) from the Union.
Stinken Lincoln sent troops to kill their asses and rape their land. Fuck Lincoln.
It's de ja vu all over again in the Euro Zone. It is like the Hotel California...
You can check in but you can't check out.
That wasn't because they seceded. Nobody minded that. The war started when the Confederacy attacked Fort Sumter.
The United States is funny like that. When you attack them, they defend themselves.

"Well, let's say this Twinkie represents the normal amount of banking fraud in the New York area. Based on this morning's sample, it would be a Twinkie... thirty-five feet long, weighing approximately six hundred pounds."
Now that's funny....i don't care who you are.
The huge investment over the years, including in the brand new shiny ( highly securitised ) NWO Bank in Frankfurt by the Elite for the Elite is depicted in WB7's Visual yet Talk to Me Art as the New Soup Kitchens in anticipation of the just around the corner Deeeeeep depression!

Crisis in Cyprus shows collapse of the West:

don't bulldoze me bro!
[attempting to reply to CarelessWhisper]
It makes me wonder, too. I think it's a multi-part tactical move and do si do between the EU and Russia over a number of issues concerning how they use Cyprus. The issues include dirty banking/laundering, funneling dough for their spy-ops in the middle east and also into europe, given Cyprus membership, how Russia is playing Syria to keep the port of Tartus so they don't only have Cyprus left to play cards with (frsutrating the West's goals), and yes as Krasting notes there are wealthy tax cheats that use Cyprus secure accounts for spending. And the argument that Russia is playing this well by instigating over-reach by the EU which could put Cyprus more fully in their hands and on the cheap, is something to consider. Other layers probably involved too, including perhaps Cyprus-linked aspects of control over energy resources into Europe, which Russia would like to control. Psy-optics are murky on this one, indeed..
I'm calling bullshit on this whole Cyprus thing. The numbers thrown around are relatively small. $8 Billion for a bailout? Puhleeze. That's not even a rounding error for an NYU intern at the Fed Reserve. I think this is just an experiment for the criminals at the IMF and Euro Central Banker to see what they can get away with. Macy's has more in annual sales than the GDP of Cyprus. Something is very wrong with this picture.
Geopolitical finance. I have not seen anything decent written about what is really happening here.
That's right. For $8 billion you can't even raise the Costa Concordia. The lawyers doing the Enron bankruptcy racked up more than $1 billion.
One has to look at this from two coordinate origins, west and easern Europe (Russia). From the western perspetive, Cyprus was a little test case. You know - try to walk all over the Cypriots and see if you get away with it. If not, it isn't so big a problem becasue Cyprus is tiny and nobody cares. The IMF was way wrong on the latter part. Chalk it up to the interneet. The whole world saw this grab and bit the IMF's hand off.
Everybody should read Jim Sinclair. He jumped right in to point out that this is a further guarantee of QE to infinity (and beyond).
Now as for Russia....of course the Russians bit the IMF's arm off at the elbow. I didn't know that Russia and Cyprus were joind at the hip when it came to banking. The IMF sure should have. So what is surprising is that the IMF was surprised. Take away.......the IMF really is a stooooopid as they have been acting these last ten years. Question is how to cash in on that - or keep from getting toasted. I hate stupid. It is totally unpredicatble.
Remember what George Carlin said: 'Just think how stupid the average person is, and then realize that half the world is dumber than that.'
Was Christine LeGard as inbred as the Keiser? Does she have Hapsburg blood coursing through her veins. Don't let's be driving arround in any open motorcars in any of the PIIGS. And make sure that you don't put the gasoline hose in the hole made for diesel.
There is real merit to your call. I thought Greece with its city sized 11 million population might be a giant focus group to test the new troika horror film scripts at one time. Cyprus makes better sense in that regard.
When the IMF pulled the same shit in South Korea just over a decade ago, it resulted in gold confiscation, break up of the "Chaebol", the highly profitable heavy and light industries to foreign ownership, and easy access to the SK market. Everyone in SK really got pounded and only succeeded in getting the IMF off their back by paying off the loan early even though that strangely incurred penalties.
I think the days when such wholesale thefts can be done by the IMF/TROIKA are numbered because of the information available on the web. People are much more likely to fight powerful financial organizations they see as unjust and immoral. Besides, we're all learning that in a world where debt is an asset, the debtors hold all the cards.
I think we're seeing a poison pill in action. The "offer" of rescue to Cyprus was so tainted as to be deliberately offensive, I don't think it was ever intended to be accepted. The murky details are who exactly made the call to do this (EU? IMF? US? Germany? a mix?), did they realize the nature of their insult might spread into a bank-run contagion (likely), how do they intend to ride out the crisis they've created, what really was the cause that forced their hand (boredom? attention on Jamie Dimon? pending exposure of PM shortfall?), and are things still moving to plan or is it going down in a fashion they didn't foresee?
Interesting times.
Good questions SWC.
What if, they were seeing this bitcoin thing take off faster than they thought, and before too many more people could get involved in bigger ways, they had to "trigger" something to cause the inevitable, and that which is evil this way comes?
Pretty dang hard on The Heart to actually witness the and see these dimomnoes that have been set up like this for so many years now getting closer to manifest. We all should really be talking about our gardens, flowers, and how good the world is, not all the hardships today. What happened?
Please do not answer that. We all know how the money god has played well the hearts of every "useless idiot" in this giant ponzi-god scam.
Pray for peace to prevail in Cyprus.
Yep, that's it, it was all about Bitcoin./sarc(fucking really, you believe that??)
Tomorrow, I gotta pick up some seeds and more potting soil...
Many of the above. If this turns out to be a trigger to tank everything we wilkl see the PMs get creamed on margin call liquidations, already we have "Jamie who?" and Germany will get to try to be head of the United Federation of Europe. And don't forget all those hedge funds that will go belly up, blood for the squid.
I thinking along the same lines! Why did LeGarde's flat get raided at the same time this whole things starts to unfold? Distration from the real issues at hand? Apple stashes more cash in a month than the whole Cyprus banking strong-armed robbery. It is looking more and more like a bungled attempt to test the waters for much larger jobs down the road.
DaddyO
One for each day of the week and twice on Sunday, just like bank bailout plans.
I see the flat tops are a 100k each... only mafia and oligarchs can afford it.
I feel for the people and their savings but I am laughing at how well fractional reserve banking works when you are lending but how miserably it does when money had to be given back.
I am wondering if Frau Merkel has modelled herself on being the witch in the Hansel and Gretel story.
That Krasting cut has kind of an "Amish Electrician" look to it. HAWT!!!!
Bruce secretly heads west on Route 80, crosses the Deleware River into PA, and moonlights as an "Amish Electrician". Shocking and very haaawt!
Bruce tells me that if you stick a hot wire in one ear, a neutral in the other, and stand barefoot in a puddle, you can do your own electroshock therapy.
Worked for him (so he says).
Hasn't done the trick yet. He still believes there is a difference between Democrats and Republicans.
He needs to increase the voltage and use a larger puddle.

That is one scary ATM. I would consider making a "bulldozer withdrawal" if that WB7 masterpiece appeared on the screen.
Nice.
Iceland bitchez.
I guess this is what Max Keiser means when he talks about Stockholm Syndrome. One begins to sympathize (and adore) one's captors. Greece, Ireland, Cyprus(?), Patty Hearst, etc have all decided to love their captors. Iceland didn't have those psychological fetters.
It is easy. Repeat after me. "Yes I see that piece of paper which says I owe you trillions. I am not going to pay you. Bugger off. Nothing personal - just business."
Remember about 20 bailouts ago when the Greek PM - the one immediately preceeding the Goldman installed puppet - threatened to do a referandum on staying in the Euro aka telling the holders of Greek sovereign paper to shove it? The market had to colletively reach for the Immodium. What is your favorite bubble stock....NFLX, JPM, AMZN, APPL? Get the popcorn out.
"check out any time you want, but you can never leave ..."
Sublime. :)
