DPC Pine Street below Kearney after the great San Francisco earthquake and fire 1906 • Japan ‘Quintuple Dip’ Recession Delivers A Fresh Blow To Abenom
[See the full post at: Debt Rattle November 16 2015]“• Debt Market Distortions Go Global as Nothing Makes Sense Anymore (Bloomberg)”
Something that is exceptionally difficult for humans to hold on to is the absolute truth that nothing in the entire Universe “does not make sense.”
Everything- always – makes sense. No kidding. If you find yourself puzzled; what it means is you have not found the context and viewpoint from which it makes sense. Vast amounts of human agony, including among “trained thinkers” is spent on holding on to the idea that we make sense, it’s the Universe that is wrong.
The Universe is never. Never. wrong. We are- more often than not, at this point.
There is zero evidence that the passport was planted. Apparently it is fake, but that is what one would expect.
So you take your passport with you because you have a bomb strapped to your chest, or because you’re going to commit a major crime with an automatic weapon? And then what? It was loose in the outside pocket of your training jacket? You have a forged passport? Maybe you have two. Or five. Why take the Syrian one and not the one from Greece or Tunisia?
We don’t want to jump to conclusions, but this isn’t a movie where we can just overlook the plot holes and play along. This is serious now.
Btw, what was in Raqqa that France wanted so badly? A base and a munitions dump? So the U.S./France/NATO allies suddenly realized this target existed 15 minutes after Paris? Or if they knew all along, then why hadn’t they bombed it long before now? Clearly not in deference to the law, as the U.N. still has not authorized any outside nation to take military action in Syria. (Russia and Iran are the explicit legal guests of Assad)
We’re all smart people, and Intel is a deceptive business. But let’s put heads together and be reasonable about what really happened.
The total is now up to “nine” U.S. states that do not want Syrian refugees: Texas, Michigan, Florida, Louisiana, Indiana, Arkansas, Alabama, Massachusetts and Illinois. What? States that are actually listening to their citizens?
Interesting re touchy-feely crowd:
“Their stance is part naivety: Islam is not the problem. What is needed to stop ISIS and other Islamic extremists is a hug, respect for their beliefs and an apology for Western aggression.
It is also part arrogance: Their approach is superior. They can see better than everyone what needs to be done. Their good will shine so brightly that ISIS and others cannot help but see it and reciprocate.
There is also more than a little political correctness stirred in: We must drop our guard in order to show beyond a doubt that we are not racist, imperialist or doubtful about multiculturalism.”
Good description.
What you said yesterday is true, that our aggression has caused many of the problems around the world, and we need to get out of these countries – get out! But many of these countries are not immune from aggression. Read about Syria, about the different minorities (hell, read about any country), and you will see that these countries have been more than capable in the aggression department themselves. Then read about the rest of the world: Africa, Asia, India…..
As in any partnership, when it breaks down, one or both parties put blame on the other, but that’s not near the truth. It always takes two to tango. We may buy up cheap resources from, say, Africa, but the corrupt African leaders (no different than our corrupt leaders) wheel and deal just the same as we do, and once a price is met, they quickly tuck the money away in some offshore account, just as we do. The ordinary people on either side don’t really benefit at all; prices are kept high, profits siphoned off into the contracting parties’ pockets.
Of course, in countries where the leader does actually try to help his citizens – which are few and far between – (like Gaddafi where he provided free education, medical, dental, clean water) – here we are guilty of taking the leaders out. If they do not go along with us, we kill them or they end up fleeing. But how many leaders in the world are like that? How many AREN’T padding their own pockets? Not very many.
So we over-use resources and get their oil for a good price, and they over-populate their countries and turn to the West for help and food aid, or flee to the West. Should there be any blame placed on countries who are over-populating themselves?
The problem is that the world is currently being run by a psychopathic bunch of criminals, and NOT just in the West.
North Carolina now, making it 11 states. The U.S. citizenry does not care if they’re politically incorrect. Europeans should have been doing the same when they had the chance, but they wanted to be seen as “nice” and “kind”, and the politicians knew this.
Aside from the possible threat, does the U.S. really need 10,000 single male economic migrants? How many are already on food stamps and unemployed/underemployed in that country? Millions.
The psychopaths, what are they planning on U.S. soil?
“World leaders at the G20 summit in Turkey have made fresh overtures to the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, to reach a deal to unite against Islamic State…David Cameron will on Monday urge Putin to stop bombing Syrian moderate forces opposed to Assad, and instead focus on Isis.
Russia and western leaders have been at loggerheads on whether a peace process can endure with Assad remaining as president.”
More like: “Mr. Putin, we want that Qatar gas pipeline to run through Syria in order to cut off your cash flow, but Assad is refusing. So, Mr. Putin, while we really want to screw you, please cooperate with us. Do not bomb the ‘moderate’ forces because these forces are helping us to take out Assad, but you can bomb the organization that we manufactured and engineered – ISIS. It will be to your benefit if you go along, Mr. Putin, otherwise serious things might happen to your country and its citizens. So sorry about your airplane.”
“… and the Shatt al-Arab basin affecting much of the Middle East including Iraq and Syria count among those most sensitive to changes, the study shows. ”
These articles invariably ignore the fact that Turkey has built a network of dams and irrigation systems in the Anatolian highlands over the past 40 years. These giant engineering structures have greatly reduced the flow of the Euphrates and Tigres.
“Water dispute”

“With the breaching of dikes by local communities subsequent to the 2003 invasion of Iraq and the ending of a four-year drought that same year, the process has been reversed and the marshes have experienced a substantial rate of recovery. The permanent wetlands now cover more than 50% of 1970s levels, with a remarkable regrowth of the Hammar and Hawizeh Marshes and some recovery of the Central Marshes.”

How can anyone write a serious article on the subject without mentioning human intervention? I guess “climate change” trumps everything else.
Water shortages pending in the US? Hell, bring in millions more immigrants. That should improve the “Environment.”
True, nothing makes sense. Not much ever has.
