Merkel Slams US Hegemony? "America Can't Solve All The World's Problems Anymore"
First Russia and China, then UAE, Egypt, and Turkey... and now it appears Germany (following a phone call with Putin) is pulling the rug out from under US hegemony - just as Obama's warmongery ramps up...
- *MERKEL SAYS U.S. CAN'T SOLVE ALL THE WORLD'S PROBLEMS ANYMORE
Which is odd because just yesterday, President Obama (who never lies) stated "The United States is and will remain the one indispensable nation in the world..." adding that "no other nation can do what we do." Perhaps he is wrong?
“Even a superpower can’t solve all of the problems alone anymore,” German Chancellor Angela Merkel says.
Merkel did not stop there...
- *PUTIN, MERKEL URGE DE-ESCALATION IN UKRAINE, KREMLIN SAYS
- *PUTIN, MERKEL DISCUSSED GAS TRANSIT VIA UKRAINE, KREMLIN SAYS
- *PUTIN INFORMED MERKEL OF NEW EAST UKRAINE AID PLAN: KREMLIN
- *MERKEL URGES HOLLANDE TO CONTINUE REFORMS IN FRANCE
- *MERKEL SAYS HOLLANDE HAS CHANCE TO REVIVE FRENCH ECONOMIC POWER
Seems like she is returning to the offensive from the defensive...

Duuuhhhh!!!!! Merkel is a bit of a slow learner is see.
America makes most of the world's problems. It's never solved any. Solving problems doesn't make money.
Wow! Let's hope that Merkel has secure communications, that she doesn't plan on taking any commerical flights like MH17 or flying over the Ukraine, and that her bodyguards are extra vigilant.
At the top, it's all ruled by those who own the BIS. However, the CEO's of their state corporations are free to battle it out and borrow as much debt money as possible in the process.
That's how it works... Enjoy the show.
*MERKEL SAYS U.S. CAN'T SOLVE ALL THE WORLD'S PROBLEMS ANYMORE
Umm,... did I miss something? When did the US actually solve any of the world's problems?
The world's problems are solved when you emigrate from whatever shithole you were born to and move to the US.
Problems solved.
There was an article the other day that the sanctions are going to cost 50,000 German jobs. And as summer wains, it starts to get a little chilly in parts of Germany and there may not be any nat gas coming from Russion.
amerika doesn't solve problems. it creates them
Ouch, Barry be getting the Merkel strap-on.....
All going down on Obombas watch.
Wow, what a legacy.
(btw, when's tee-time?)
Somehow, it will still all be Bush's fault.
Always.
I gave you the greenie because of the hypersensitivity elicited here at ZH to the "B" word.
That, and somebody dropped off a box of rocks.
Thanks.
I probably should have put a <sarc> tag on that one.
It's a lesson not to be soon forgot, not around here anyway.
When you are a weak spineless lying pos even fat ugly women enjoy beating you up. When you voted him in what were you expecting America? You got just what you asked for. Enjoy
"...when you emigrate from whatever shithole you were born".
As clearly illustrated by Edward Snowden.
Thank you for one example. Please instead of rhetoric, post immigration statistics. Feel feel to try to prove your point with facts.
Also, everyone please note that anti-american posts get up votes. And pro-american posts get downvotes...therefore...
FUCK AMERIKA!!! Putin will show these USSA PUSSY(riots) how to play chess instead of checkers!!!
You crazy? I love America! I want it to be what it was as oppose to the shithole it's become! Putin will teach Obama nothing. It if worked, it would've happened already. I don't want Putin to replace Obama.
I want Ron Paul or someone puting an equal respect for the Constitution being in charge. I don't want wars. I don't want destruction. I don't want death.
We are blessed with a prime piece of land, peaceful neighbors and oceans everywhere else. God damnit! We have a good thing here. Let's not piss it away like this with sociopaths hitting buttons bringing about complete anihilation.
Let's not wait for Putin to fix our shit! That's our fucking job!
They are increasing the cost to renounce US citizenship to $2,350 after record renunciations.
isaacbrocksociety.ca/2014/08/27/state-department-to-hike-renunciation-fees-to-us2350-says-no-public-benefit-in-respecting-human-right-to-change-nationality/
The amount of people renouncing are undercounted. Waiting times around the world do not add up as they can process many per day. In Toronto, Canada, the amount they can process in a year is just about the same as the official number of renunciants and relinquishments for the wolrd per year.
I strongly disagree. America can solve all the world's problems. We can't leave it to the French. America is the world's best hope.
Agree, but other countries exist too. So do individuals. A country not ready to defend itself/prove abilities will be taken advantage of. Economically, militarily, psychologically. There are always military, religious, and economic powers that will feed on anything where the cost/benefit analysis proves in their favor.
I don't think anyone is truly naive enough to think we can just stay out of the world's affairs and be our own country.
We can either accept being taken advantage of, fight to stay in the middle, or fight to take advantage of others.
I don't know what is right. Rightness depends on the perspective. The perspective depends of psychology. Psychology changes. You can either fight for a "greater good" or fight to prevent others from fighting for a "greater good". Either way, you are both right and wrong, depending on perspective.
Well, that's right, we can't stay out of the world's affairs and be our own country. Our currency is backed by aircraft carriers.
"I don't think anyone is truly naive enough to think we can just stay out of the world's affairs and be our own country."
1. The swiss do it fairly well.
2. Crap, just stop bombing folks.
3. So the choice is to be a bully or to be bullied. I reject that those are the only options.
4. There's this thing other countries do, it's called getting along. From every perspective, it's right.
Sleepingbeauty - of course you are correct. I just want to point out that you are arguing America's fate with bunzbunz who plays for the Hebrew National team.
I'm not american nor anti-america. I upvote because americain government has never solved any problems. Plain and simple.In WWII they dropped a nuclear bomb on civilians in Japan after Germany had already surrender. The bomb was not needed. Vietnam, and every war since has always been about profits and never started by citizans of the USA.
OMG, did Brzezinski ok this?
Their German puppet just can't run around spouting any old shit that crosses her mind?
Part of the negotiated settlement was Putin's insistence that Lagarde has to work off her corruption fine as a Ukrainian truckstop waitress.
Bush is a scumbag globalist puppet, just like his father and grandfather. I'll give you even odds that Obama doesn't make it to the end of his term. He'll either be hospitalized or maybe fake his death, like Ken Lay, just to get away from DC. At least Bush had a goal and a dream - to take over the world along with his Nazi pals at the CFR and PNAC. Obama hasn't got a clue, doesn't know what to do, and is scared shitless.
The USA has been the biggest troublemaker in the world since WWII ended. The CIA has managed to fuck things up beyond all recognition. They've toppled governments, assassinated anyone who stood in their way, and have served bankers and corporations since the day they were born (sired by Wall St. bankers and lawyers). And they're not going to stop. Sure, we've given away aid to developing nations and have bases all over the world, but it wasn't to 'protect freedom.' It was to control everything. There's always a price (and the money always goes to the bankers). The truly sad part of the story is that all the proof is out there. All it takes is some curiosity and a wish to know the truth. That is definitely not a priority for Americans.
But, what about baseball, what about APPLE PIE for God's sake?
Oh, yeah, and Mom!
SuperRay hates Mom's everywhere.
(SR I upvoted you)
Don't be a little girl. Argue with him even if you think he is right. Quit sucking eachother's dicks and debate.
I tried to find something wrong with what you wrote, but couldn't find much... sorry. Oh but scumbama will make it to the end of his term. Then he'll ride off into the sunset collecting his payola for national betrayal like the last 8 presidents.
Actually, the only positive component of the Obama Legacy will be the collapse of Team America's World Police function.
The big follow-on negative for 'Murcans will be the USD's loss of reserve status; however, this will happen sooner or later anyway, and I'm of the opinion that sooner is better: it will likely precipitate some (much needed) serious shit on the domestic front.
When decoded, she was clearly referring to Einstein that "Problems cannot be solved at the same level they were created".
IOW... "The level at which the problems are created (by the US) are rather basic, and at some point the real Adults in Geopolitics need to step in an take over."
The Kirk avatar kinda ruined the whole adults need to take over for me. ;-)
LOL.
Daily lurker and first time commenting:
I couldn't agree more!
Could someone list the global problems solved by the US in the last 25 years?
Well, uh, think of how much WORSE it could have been if we weren't out there try to spread freedom-n-democracy.
Not yet solved, but the USA is working hard on the overpopulation problem:
Earth: 248 armed conflicts after WW2; US started 201 (81%), killing 30 million
I'm afraid it's the ONLY "problem" we are going to solve before the end of this century.
Even there they do a shitty job: Off by 50x too low in results, and 50x too expensive.
That's 50x50, or off by thousands of times in Combined Effectiveness.
Turned the scientific certainty of a "second ice age" when I was a wee lad and completely turned it into an oncoming scientific "burning in hell" known as global warming. Good ole American know how and ingenuity right there. Plus the US has even learned how to monetize the situaition allowing the offending acts to still occur if you can afford to pay for the rights to burn the planet all to hell.
They never want to "solve" problems, instead they incite them. Then by "trying" to fix the problems, they come a step closer to NWO. Example: "War on Terror"
Could someone list the global problems solved by the US in the last 25 years?
lol
The election of Obama caused the oceans to recede.
You're welcome ;-)
You don't have to have any higher education.., or have had to hold down any kind of job..., or even have to be of any proven particular nationality..., to get elected President. If that ain't contributing, I don't know what is.
(having a degree and having been educated are two different things entirely, for those of you who will surely down me)
We solved the problem of turning billionaires into trillionaires....
Hollywood solved the problem of how we are supposed to think and feel.
Hollywood solved the problem of how people are supposed to think and feel.
Replace "Solved" with "Created" and then you have a host of answers!
Could someone list the global problems solved by any country in the last 1000 years?
Seems you have an 'inflated expectations' problem.

There will be no sanctions on gas and oil, who are you kidding? Russia has no ammo left.
Welp, when you get linked from Drudge, this is what happens...a drone with an opinion.
Hey SuckMyDyke,
When Americans start crossing the border into other people's countries than I'll take back what I said.
As it stands, I'm 100% correct and the rest of you guys are fucking full-retard American-hating jackass libtards who think food, medicine, and shelter should be handed to you on the backs of people who earn them for you.
To one and all, America has faults but it shines sunlight out of its own asshole compared to timid Europeans, cannibalistic Africans, psychotic Middle Easterners, and soul crushing commie Asians.
If you don't like it here, leave. just get the fuck out. I won't stop you and I'll pay for it with my taxes, but just go and take your shitty idiotologies with you.
...and use deodorant.
Love, Raymond K Hessel, DVM
And yes I up arrowed myself, motherfucker!
DVM? WTFIT? anyone got the answer?
Clearly he's a child so it doesn't matter.
I mean links to video games wtf...must be some 17 year old who is still fucked from many years of conditioning.
DVM = Dr of Veter. Med.
Large animal, or small animal?
This is the key.
He's sort of a veterinarian. He's a psychiatrist for dogs and a lifeguard in a car wash when things are slow.
You talking about me or the linked article? I've been here longer than you by a few years....
Raymond K Hessel
You wrote: “The world's problems are solved when you emigrate to the US.”
How so?
Do you mean by sending dollars abroad?
Aren’t immigrants that send money back home a form of 'contributor to' imperialism?
If you lived in America you would know exactly what I meant.
Instead you are either chained to your computer in some Chinese Army base or working for Igor at the Internet Research Agency.
You would know why people leave their homes for America and experience for yourself an increase in your standard of living.
Hessel,
First, I live in DC.
Second, isn’t that increase because of the dollar being the reserve currency?
Or do you mean something else?
I live in Denmark. If I were to move to USA that would mean:
1. Lower wages (for the same work) – even after tax
2. Lesser and more expensive access (in Denmark ALL health-care is free – for the person who unfortunately needs it) to inferior health-care
3. An expensive, indoctrinating and (to secular minds) over-religious education system (in Denmark it’s only your skill that determines if you can get an education or not – there’s no tuition)
4. Risk of being arbitrarily thrown in jail for minor offences (many not being offences in Denmark) – or arbitrarily shot down by your ‘police/domestic military’-force
5. Being excessively monitored and spied on
6. No independent medias (all owned by or serving the fascist state and its cohorts)
7. Risk of being a (justifiable) victim of terrorism (false-flags and logical responses to USA’s aggressive foreign policies – its many wars (both covert and those in the open)
8. Living in a dystopian scene of what hyper-capitalism does to a society – the ‘aesthetics’ (or lack of) of capitalism (the sea of billboards advertising junk, chains of junk-food vendors, concrete oceans/roads (no relevant public alternatives in most areas) and so on)
9. No democratic alternatives and a broken down political system (= a political system subjugated by the financial elite/the oligarchs). And no left-wing parties or organizations (all have been – alt the way back in the 50’s, which might explain why so few US-based ZH’ers understand what left-wing politics is about) dismantled as part of the corporate coup
10. Debt enough for the next 100+ generations to be enslaved by
11. Less social mobility (being born poor in USA is almost certain a guarantee to die poor too – in Denmark there’s much more social mobility because there’re many more possibilities for the poor – se ad 1, 2 and 3 above). Quite a paradox that ‘the American dream’ is more alive in a (semi)social-democratic society like Denmark than in USA itself.
The list of the ‘merits’ connected with moving to USA could go on and on…
Memedada,
You did a great job, I believe, exposing some of the truths about America.
Not that I need to remind you, but it’s very hard to break through when the prevailing assumptions are based in meaningless clichés and downright repeated stupidity.
Anyway, thanks for the post. And I think you should repost it, when necessary.
+++
"should repost it..."
ditto X 3.
Don't travel much, do you?
True. Some problems just can't be solved, as she knows herself. E.g. Merkel's Greek dance Koulouri
Seriously though, this BBC documentary does a decent job of telling us the story of Angela Merkel.
"Latina Lover", What do you think has made her flip? She is coming around to seeing the damage the US is doing to Europe in the name of containment of Russia and Kiev's revolution. What may have made her see the light now? I am not sure what has moved her to become sane all of a sudden?
Jack Burton, I am not sure but per certain russian blogs it seems that Putin gave Merkel the choice of pulling back their Ukrainian cur or facing even greater european destabilization due to risks of energy shortages, ongoing sanctions etc. The EU economy is in deep trouble, and if Germany falters, then it is game over. Germany is a client state of the USSA, but owes its ultimate loyalty to the EU. And without russian gas, Germany grinds to a halt.
Further, as you already know, the Ukies have been stealing Russian gas for decades, estimated in the tens of billions, and the Russians are frankly sick of it.
Moreover, violence directed against the Donbass, coupled with threats, insults, the MH17 false flag have so infuriated the Russian nationalists, that they are demanding that the Ukraine govenrnment be choked to death via denial of Nat Gas, Coal etc. Putin may have to do this to placate his nationalists opponents, who would happily turn Kiev into a parking lot.
Porkyshenko overplayed a bad hand at the behest of the USSA, and he is about to be dealt out of the game, and sent to his spiritual home, Israel.
Lots of history here. Predates the US even. EU is at the edge of the cliff. Merkel has her tits in the wringer. She is going to walk the line here as best as possible. No other option really. Someone else has to be the first to shit the bed.
Germany is a client state of the USSA, but owes its ultimate loyalty to the EU. And without russian gas, Germany grinds to a halt.
No not really I don't think. Europe is ultimately a competitor of the USSA and their relationship for the past couple decades has mostly been as frenemies. Not to mention US&A stuffing europe with a whole shittonne of toxic debt.
Germany (and a lot of europe) has tended lately to have more common interests with russia than US.
US&A is almost an afterthought on much of german tv coverage too.
By controling the flow of spice Putin essentially gets to call elections across the EU. He can remove a politician simply by stepping on a hose and creating unfavorable economic conditions. Merkel has been on shaky ground more than once. Could've lost her spot already if it weren't for Russian selective generosity. All Putin had to do was remind her of that.
And as it's been repeated many times - winter is slowly approaching. You'll find many more Western politicians loosen up as things progress, else next time around they won't be lying about cold snaps affecting the GDP.
Julia,
Merkel grew up in East German. Speaks Russian.
Germany is an industrial power. US is a financial power. Both deals are about to collapse.
Ukraine is small rent for the West, but major distraction and expense for Russia, especial in a war.
Iran is the real deal. US has some Saudi oil and its oil-rent income.
US has Iraq oil stored underground for later on (when TSHTF).
US has lots of leverage, but lives way beyond its means. Not an easy problem to solve without igniting a civil war.
The saddest thing in this conflict is that Ukraine is broken beyond repair and even if all hypothetical paths are explored - nobody wants it. EU does not want the west where NATO trained Junta is segregated. They don't want Nazi's spilling over into their lands, like ISIS out of Syria. Those are real terrorists that will set fire to buildings and shoot people simply because they're pissed.
Russia wouldn't want to have any presense there either - not after Odessa. Ukraine cleansed itself of all the reminders of former association with USSR? Fine! You can keep your concrete pieces of Lenin's statures. Eat them if you like!
Russia will not do business with those people. Whatever land comes into Russian possession after the crisis will be used to rout shorter gas pipelines around the rest of Ukraine towards EU states the oligarchs still buy things from. Western Ukraine will get to keep its agriculture and its currency to barely remain afloat.
But when you unravel all the things like that, you understand why a new world war is almost inevitable. You see the certain disintegration of NATO, EU, IMF, the petrodollar. You see Russia taking over and that will not be allowed to happen. Germany was in a position to establish direct, no middle-men trade with Saudi Arabia. It united the entire world against it. Everyone rushed in to prevent the outcome and Germany lost.
Germany had a major weekness - no access to oil required to run the industrial machine. Russia has everything it needs and then some. So, only a direct invasion will do. An actual attack. Do now, find excuses and tweak history books later.
China's being coordinated into a controlled economic implosion also. It's being timed, as it would otherwise provide a critical ally to the neighbor. The West is waiting for China to go out of commission even if only temporarily. Just long enough to have a chance wrestling the bear to the gound. China wants land. The West hopes it can maybe persuade them to take chunks out of Russia East of Ural - open an 2nd front, but under no condition allow China to keep the gainst. The plan, most likely, is to wait for China to cough, poke Russia, persuade China to switch sides, open a second front, move in wiping out Western resistance and then neuter China by perhaps dropping a few nukes Chengdu to Beijing. It worked in Japan, didn't it?!
US hopes entire action will be segregated in Eurasia just like the last time. It made a huge mistake reveaing its hand - highlighting its involvement and making itself a primary target. At this point it's panic mode. They don't give an ass about secrecy, about hypocricy. They know what they want and it's now or never moment. Their hate glows with the power of thousand suns. If they drop bombs, the first dozen will be aimed straight for Putin's shiny head. They will not care about it being justified. The state department will not go on television with a hour-long press release. Obama will not read a passage out of a teleprompter. He will tweet: "Fuck it!" and off we go into chaos, moving another step closer to Einstein's sticks and stones prophecy.
Meanwhile, Germany will express its one remaining regret - dismantling the Berin Wall that could've perhaps shielded at least a dozen people from a nuclear blast.
I have felt for quite some time that Germany will simply partner up with Russia. In many ways, they are a strong match (e.g. German industrial base and Russian natural resources). Folks quickly forget the deep history between Germany and Russia.
Germany has already done financially what it tried twice to do militarily; subjigate Europe.
If Russia steps in and partners, Germany might hold onto what they have and Europe will pivot East.
THAT Is what the white house and its handlers are in a panic about.
I do agree it ends a big war, but I have a hard time figuring out who the teams are...
Regards,
Cooter
"Folks quickly forget the deep history between Germany and Russia."
Do you mean Koenigsberg... ahem... Kaliningrad? Where almost the entire population of a German city was butchered, and then displaced by imported Russians?
But of course that is too recent to be 'deep history'.
Maybe you mean the 'Triple Alliance' Germany made specifically against Russia during WWI?
Or do you mean the mennonites in Danzig and Vistula? The ones that were forcibly, violently, driven out from 1860 to 1914...and ended up in Pennsylvania?
Or do you mean the 'Dual Alliance' of Germany and Austro-Hungary against Russia of 1879?
Or do you mean the strategic exclusion of Prussia (which became Germany) from the 'Concert of Europe' at Russian request in 1815?
Or do you mean the 'Seven-Years War' between Prussia (which became Germany) and Russia in the 1760's?
Or do you mean the 'War of Austrian Succession' where Prussia and Russia fought during the 1740's?
There is a 'deep history between German and Russia'.
But it seems to be the opposite of what you imply.
On the other hand, the majority of white Americans are the descendants of Germans.
If you take a whole bunch of Englishmen and Germans and put then in a wild continent, without its own governance or laws, and with few permanent native settlements - what you get is America.
Julia,
Wish I had time to go into what you wrote.
Anyway, love when you said "China's being coordinated into a controlled economic implosion also. It's being timed,..."
Not sure about timed.
The (world) Titanic is taking water, the dollars (US military) thinks it has a lifesaver by controlling Middle East and Pacific Ocean traffic.
However, US population is fucked beyond any chance, besides taking from Canada.
Interesting 'horrible' times ahead.
EU Weather Forecast: Vlad Weather coming...
How about a Breaking Vlad series.?...Putin is the Heisenberg of geopolitics lately...not to mention he knows how to deal with Nazis....
Merkel is fucked.
If she appears to be schizophrenic and talking from the both sides of her mouth is because she know whatever side she takes Germany is fucked.
If she sides with the US/Nato Russia shuts off the gas and Germany starves. If she sides with Russia, US/NATO will take her scalp.
So she is trying to sit on the fence and hope this thing sorts itself out.
The prisioner,
Does talking to her base ring a bell?
She's just talking her talk-points!
Talking to her base was the Gold Repatriation story. Massive bait-and-switch.
Porky over played a bad hand dealt by the pyramid of which the USA is only the mercenaries and cannon fodder covering up for the crown heads. The US has no treasury, the IMF is the treasury.
A few weeks ago, Dr. Jim Willie said he heard weird stories that Merkel might step down. He said it was weird because she was fairly recently re-elected.
Jim has this The Voice connections who sounds like an old German or Swiss guy who knows the gold market very well and is connected. He tells Jim about Chinese gold purchases, the criminal activity in London and theft of Saudi gold. Supposedly this old guy has seen Russia's gold and supposedly it is the biggest in the world by far.
Putin supposedly was behind the Wesern Ukrainian commander stepping down. Sterlkov. Very honorable and a Russian nationalist and anti-Leninist. One of the White Army types. Putin was either concerned this man may become to popular in Russia orhe wanted a more Ukie face on the commanders in Western Ukraine.
So Merkel is under tons of pressure. The criminal junta in Kiev probably is. Porky should be sent to the gallows with Yats and the rest. Putin has a little pressure. Obama and the criminal US govt will just go on their merry way. Liberals will support him til the end.
She doesn't see the light now.
It's quite obvious that Europe doesn't want to have a conflict with Russia. Ukraine was never part of EU, it was always seen as a part of Russia. There wasn't a revolution to disband from USSR, as it was in other countries, after USSR collapsed. EU tried to reach a solution right before the Maidan killings, but "Fuck Europe" Nuland followed her agenda, which started this shit. EU and even more Germany are not free to make their own decisions without consent of USA. Now, after USA manouvered the situation into a lose-lose situation for all involved parties, Germany is allowed to find a solution.
Merkel is just doing "Realpoiltik". If this means a division of Ukraine, so be it. Ukraine was an artificial construct in the first place. But to bully Russia because of Ukraine is stupid. They have some severe interest, so why doing it?
Von Ribbentrop Redux bitchez! "Just get over it Ostlander...
Merkel is mildly retarded she doesn't make any decisions.
It's a Von Ribbon Trope now...
According to Rupert Murdoch's press, the Russian tanks are rolling in.
http://www.news.com.au/world/ukraine-convoy-of-russian-tanks-weaponry-rolling-in-through-southeast/story-fndir2ev-1227039388911
Or maybe some Von Ribbon tripe...
Lufthansa is the only Boeing customers that does not have ground remote control. So if you fly Lufthansa - the chances of you becoming fish food off of Diego Garcia are pretty low.
When Germany makes the flip formal and public, then it really starts. At that point y'all better pay attention to PM's.
Looks like Jim Willie was right all along...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9f2XzcYdOs&feature=youtu.be
I found Jim Willie via DCRB who quoted/linked a few articles on here in the comments and was hooked. Willie seems eccentric but its rediculous how correct he has been as this collapse unfolds. +1
He's been way wrong headed on some of his ISIS type shit otherwise I love him. I love when he casually slips in things like a base on the dark side of the moon as established facts.
LOL.
Willie is to gold bugs what Fox is to wingnuts. Great entertainment, but come on.
Jim Willie is a nut. His nuttiness actually reinforces my appreciation for what he's good at. He's incredibly tuned in to the ongoing collapse of the global finance system. Over the past 8 years or so since I started reading his stuff, he's been off on timing a little bit, but who hasn't. The general pattern and trend he's had cold. Most people I've encountered who have an almost otherworldly grasp on one topic tend to be completely bonkers on something else. Once I discover their "King Charles' Head" fixation, I'm reassured as to their genius on their main topic.
Precisely. Tune out the things he says that aren't related to finance/PMs but focus on his track record in those areas. He's been 100% spot on for years. Go back and look at his archives, and see that he was writing 2, 3, 4, years ago about things that are happening today.
stupid bitch. if the US wasnt printing money and buying all your continent's junk debt (shhhhh, we're not supposed to know this), your depression would be much worse.
the Western ( not wester *wink* ) bankers engineered the calamity that is the EU so yeah..
And the news portion of this "statement"?????
Stupid idiot. Let the fucking monetary system collapse and afterwards we'll find out out which country offers something valuable to trade. Facebook, Google, Apple and Mc Donalds have no intrinsic value.
Facebook, Google, Apple and Mc Donalds have no intrinsic value.
You didn't think it would be somaTM brand soma did you?
No the printing of fiat money is ordered from London where Rothschild families own the non federal federal reserve and also supervises the printing of German money. Orders come down from the top of the pyramid which is the vatican. This beliefs in sovereignty are almost child like.
Amen twin turbo timmy. You are seeing these glitches in the matrix more and more. We listen to Jim Willie hysterically talk about germany switching sides, and so they should.. The conspiracies we would think about and talk about in private, much to even often our own surprise are playing out which has one nervously looking around their office and saying "I figured I was right but holy fuck I'm right."
Weeks? Months? Who knows. Years? I doubt it. The days of buying PMS and a generator, and some food, and a water bob, and a water filter were sort of fun. Getting to the point where they are going to be used? Less fun - but that was never the point I guess.
The threat of military violence is what has held this together all along and a war is a great way to get a scapegoat to blame the collapse on.
I'm not sure why you need all "the stuff" if there's going to be a war tho.
War will cause all the dumbass males to "gather round the (slow-motion) flag" and march-off to meet the enemy (meaning away from you). You won't need any of "your stuff".
Better check the Wiki def of self assured destruction.
It's a No-Win for everyone. Maybe they'll find our final history written in the Space Station.
Edit: Orbit to degrade and re-enter. Maybe the next most intelligent species will dig up in 500 Million years, give or take.
I'm prepared for a month or 2. Not for a mad max scenario. That type of planning is prudent.
Have a plan for 6 months, basic survival instinct.
If you're still alive then, we'll talk.
I just screened 'Mad Max' so I'm ready. Shotgun shells, gasoline and dog food.
what type dog food do you like... iams or science diet? high protein... flavor??
ha ha. All I can think of here is lots of #10 cans of brown gravy mix... with which - go for the protein. ha ha
You can eat grass, cows thrive on it.
Agree. Never hurts to be a boy scout.
You need to plan exactly the way that average people planned two generations ago, a century ago, a millenium ago, and ten millenia ago.
You need to plan to get from the date of the disaster, through the winter, and on to the next harvest.
Don't believe what Merkel says. (s)He is just another b.tch who likes to be pounded by Obummer & Co.
Which country has military bases in Germany?
"Which country has military bases in Germany?" With the current trend the Q might be "Which country HAD military bases in Germany?"
Is Merkel wanting some of that Obama Biatch Slap action?
Without Germany the US is peripheral to world affairs which is why it is trying to destroy Russia. Mackinder Plan
Do you have a source for a Mackinder Plan?
Which is the only country that has military bases in more than a handful of countries.
there fixed it for ya :-)
And which country is going to take back those bases as the country fails to hand over the gold to that one?
Shit, even I'm confusing myself by writing this.
ALERT -For The First Time Ever In American History, A Foreign Commander has been placed in charge of American forces
A German Army brigadier general who recently served with NATO forces in Afghanistan is assuming duties as the chief of staff of U. S. Army Europe, the first time a non-American officer has held that position.
Army sources in Europe said the first-ever assignment of a German general to the USAREUR staff is unrelated to the political furor over the spying revelations, but does reflect the increased importance of multinational operations in NATO.
Brig. Gen. Markus Laubenthal, most recently the commander of Germany’s 12th Panzer Brigade in Amberg, and chief of staff of Regional Command North, International Security Assistance Force Afghanistan, will be stationed at USAREUR headquarters, Wiesbaden, Germany. He could report to duty as early as Monday.
Laubenthal also has served as military assistant to the deputy commander of operations and assistant chief of staff of operations for NATO forces in Kosovo.

That's only a one star general, yawn.
Not totally true. The USA's nuclear weapons are commanded and controlled by a dual citizen.

Winter is coming.
Must have been the first 5 degree celsius night in Berlin since April.
5 degree celsius?
Is that like fifth degree black belt or tenth degree Mason?
What the fuck is a celsius?!
That's the same as about 45 in American.
Even though it's called British Standard, I do agree with the sentiment that's American.
Fuck the metric system.
Fuck the metric system in its perfumed asshole!!!
"In metric, one millilier of water occupies one cubic centimeter, weighs one gram, and requires one calorie of energy to heat up by one degree centigrade - which is one percent of the difference between its freezing point and its boiling point. An amount of hydrogen weighing the same amount has exactly one mole of atoms in it.
Whereas in the American system, the answer to 'How much energy does it take to boil a room-temperature gallon of water?' is 'Go fuck yourself!' because you can't directly relate any of those quantities..."

Raymond, you're fuckin' exceptional!
About the same in Minot.
Wake up call at 3am, ready or not!
It is a unit of measure used by everyone in the world, except the "exceptional" people.
Well the exceptionals do have two friends on the planet that are also a bit slow to convert to the metric system, Liberia and Burma. Do they think the average IQ of the zombies there is too low to be ever able to change over?
It is the bait used in an imbecile trap...............
Spock says to tell you that it's 278.15 degree Kelvin.

What most Americans do not realize is that much of Europe is pretty far north compared to America.
Northern Italy is about where north Florida or GA is. I would guess Berlin is about where NH is.

'America makes most of the world's problems"
WE DON'T MAKE ANYTHING ELSE!! We need SOMTHING to export!!!
We make Freedum Fiat don't we?
Worked for awhile anyway, until it didn't.
Anymore????
so many things I could say. I much as I despise Bush & friends enriching themselves and handing Obama a shit sandwich, he has had ample time to turn things around. Instead he is spending our way into hell, double the national debt and forcing poor people to pay a 1000.00 + kicker to not enrich the health insurance industry on our taxes.
insert hope and change jokes here.
America can't solve it's own problems.
We used to help solve a lot of the world's problems, but now we are often the problem.
Name one problem '"you" used to solve'?
And no, WWII was not 'solved' by US, but rather co-created (the Bush-family actually played a small role in this) the Nazis and the state-capitalists (Stalin).

True, solving problems doesn’t make fiat (and for sure not money) in our contemporary economic system. Creating them – especially the big ones (Wars being a good example) on the other hand make a lot of fiat (for the oligarchs).
