With the Cyprus cataclysm just around the corner, likely to set off a domino effect with the PIIGS (Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece, Spain), the Euro won’t be around much longer.  This is why Bitcoin has been exploding, because it isn’t tied to the ECB or the Fed, and the people are quickly becoming hip to the gyp when it come to fiat currency and fractional reserve banking.

Here in the land of the FRN (Federal Reserve Note, stop calling them “dollars” because they aren’t tied to silver), it’s all quiet on the Western front.  But the job numbers tell you the real reason why it’s so quiet; damn near everyone over 50 not working in a government job is out of work.  Another reason is that these people are living off of savings for retirement (like me), and when that money runs out, the U.S. will be in the same boat as the PIIGS.

This is the real reason why gun control is a wedge issue again, and the USG is buying up ammunition like crazy.  Our prison warders are more likely than not scared shitless that a massive revolt is coming in this country when the food stamp cards stop working and the people with nothing to lose really lose it. 

Yes, it will be a painful and soul-shattering transition for many, but frankly,  everyone should be looking forward to it.  To get to something sane and sustainable, we need to clear out the old, just as a forest fire gets rid of the deadwood (in this case, banksters and the government stooges who support them like Eric Holder). 

While it would be more salutary to have the people awaken of their own accord, and then peacefully organize and co-create a workable transition, I am compelled to consider: when in history has THAT ever happened?

This is a follow up post to the one below about the Cyprus 10% tax debacle and the predictions being made in some quarters that this will stimulate EU-wide bank runs.

  From the article:

…European Union officials hardened their stance against Cyprus today by announcing that if the Cypriot government did not allow the raiding of private bank accounts by Monday they would be forced to destroy their banks, which remain closed for the seventh straight day and have no signs of opening soon.

Crazy times.  I’d recommend reading this entire article.  It makes me wonder, however, if Russia is attempting to take advantage of the Cyprus situation and trying to destabilize the EU to get some more leverage for the BRICS nations which are currently angling for more say in the new financial system coming on line soon.

The little island of Cyprus could end up being the mouse that roared.  In this Financial Times article, “Europe is risking a bank run,” Wolfgang Münchau speculates that a rational response from other EU member countries will be to pull their money out of their respective banks now that Cyprus has tried imposing a tax on depositors.  Not bondholders, mind you, but everyday depositors.  I think he’s right, and I’m not the only one.

This tomfoolery stimulated a run on the Cyprus banks, and so now they’re closed until Thursday.  What do you think is going to happen on Friday?  Didn’t we learn during the Great Depression that depositors’ value had to be insured so that the banks could function under stressful situations?  I guess maybe the EU boys forgot; send them a copy of It’s a Wonderful Life, perhaps they can figure this simple fact of human nature out.

Coincidentally, on Lisa Harrison’s OPPT-in radio show, trustee Heather declared that absolute data was about to be released.  All the hidden shenanigans, all the money laundering, all the drug money machinations, all the white slavery, all the double bookkeeping, all the disclosure is about to come down. (Cyprus is a well known center for bankster money-laundering, by the way.) Use your conscious intent, now, with me, and visualize this happening.  FEEL it happening. 

Let the bank runs begin!  Revelry in the streets to follow.

LOL.  So true. 

This part is even BETTER.

UPDATE (Feb. 16): Has the pope has indirectly admitted his guilt for crimes against humanity by deciding to remain exiled to the Vatican?  Some blogs seem to think so.  However, Gordon Duff of Veteran’s Today sees a deeper conspiracy.

I guess you can interpret this as a positive, too; if the two arch competitors for the Asshole Bloodlines of the Galaxy gold medal are teaming up, maybe they are actually a little scared that we, their compliant slaves, might be getting a wee bit too conscious.

Interesting to note that this partnership isn’t going to be solidified until September, right before the fall equinox (22nd).  You know what’s set to take place between then and December 21st, right?

No surprise here; the banksters KNOW how much we loathe their corrupt robbery and mafia tactics.  This article also goes into the new and improved array of crowd control weapons they’ve been stocking  up on (heat lasers, sound cannons, etc.)  You can bet they have a LOT more stuff they’re not going to let us see until the SHTF.

[Sorry I haven’t been working on the blog lately.  Life happens.]

This is pretty much what Bob Chapman, Max Keiser, Gerald Celente and others have forecast, so it’s no surprise.  But when ordinary citizens start lighting themselves on fire because they can’t get credit, the Anglo-American engineered “debt crisis” is now picking up some serious steam. 

Should be an interesting summer.  

Editor’s Note: “Diablo’s Movie Crypt,” Vol. 2, was supposed to be up today.  My apologies if anyone was disappointed (probably not).  I plan to create a new feature more pertinent to these tumultuous times; movie reviews are pretty mundane when the world as we know is transmogrifying before our eyes.

In this week’s Benjamin Fulford blog post, following hard upon the good news outlined by David Wilcock in his new Divine Intervention expose´, we the oppressed are going to have to wait before this geopolitical tsunami really “hits the shore,” so to speak.

The transition will be the most tricky time to get through, as our mind-controllers will definitely take advantage of inflation and food shortages to stoke civil unrest and attempt to turn everyone against each other.  It will be their last ditch effort to maintain their grip on power.

Start waking people up as fast as you can.  The more who are clued in as to what is really coming, the less chance the psychopaths have of pulling off a Hail Mary pass.  Work your social networks like you never have before, everyone.  Good luck!

Like Howard Beale, the prophet anchorman in Network said, first you have to get angry.   I consider it my mission in life to get more of you very, very angry.  

You readers out there who have mortgages; consider this:  Obama is pushing to cancel the mortgage deduction on your taxes which is a complete sell-out to the banks.  So, in effect (if not in stated intention), he wants more foreclosures (which ending the tax deduction will invariably create, as well as decimating new home sales) so that your home equity asset is transferred to the ledgers of the big banks to save their debt-ridden asses.  And a huge percentage of these odious debts, I might add, are derived from speculative gambling (derivatives trading) which the banks don’t pay any taxes on.

Please, please, PLEASE wake up (and get angry)!!!  First, the value of your hard-earned money is being stolen through the Fed’s money-printing in the form of inflation, and stolen again in the form of higher interest rates created by the debt default.  If that weren’t bad enough, we’re being propagandized into a make-believe debt crisis that the banksters have yet to be held accountable for in the form on one, single, solitary prosecution from Attorney General Eric “Waco Cover-Up” Holder.  Here’s a suggestion if you are getting angry—how about calling your state attorney general (look under State listings in your phone book) and demand that he call out the corruption of this bankster butt-boy?

Oh, and did I mention that the money you have had stolen from you in the form of FICA taxes (unless you make over $106,000, that is) for So-So Security is now also on the chopping block?  Thank you, sirs, may I please have another?  

These Mafioso motherfuckers are laughing at you while they wallow in the salacious decadence of their lap dances.  What does it take for you zombies to get angry?
