    Peter Schiff: Dollar Collapse Will Be the Single Biggest Event In Human History
    “This collapse will be global and it will bring down not only the dollar but all other fiat currencies,as they are fundamentally no different. The collapse of currencies will lead to the collapse of ALL paper assets. The repercussions to this will have incredible results worldwide,” Peter Schiff, the Berkeley educated financial analyst, stockbroker, author, and one-time Senate candidate AND one of the only economists to predict the collapse of 2007.

    “We’re In Deep Economic Sh**!” Peter Schiff tried to warn America over 4 months ago, but mainstream media stayed silent. It’s not like Peter Schiff is some snake charmer, he is after all a Peter Schiff, the one economists who predicted the collapse of 2007.

    He had warned the anchors of Fox News in 2008 that a second, much worse collapse was coming in the not so distant future, but I guess Fox didn’t think we’d want to know such things.

    Officials from the world’s largest economies gathering in Shanghai this week will need to reconcile diverging monetary policies with calls for increased fiscal support — all the while avoiding a currency war that few can afford. While Group of 20 meetings have habitually agreed on the need to refrain from competitive devaluations, that objective has taken on new importance as China struggles to manage its slowdown with the risk of another currency devaluation lurking.

    45 percent of Americans pay no federal income tax
    By Catey Hill, Marketwatch February 24, 2016 | 3:27pm

    Many Americans don’t have to worry about giving Uncle Sam part of their hard-earned cash for their income taxes this year.

    An estimated 45.3 percent of American households — roughly 77.5 million — will pay no federal individual income tax, according to data for the 2015 tax year from the Tax Policy Center, a nonpartisan Washington-based research group. (Note that this does not necessarily mean they won’t owe their states income tax.)

    Roughly half pay no federal income tax because they have no taxable income, and the other roughly half get enough tax breaks to erase their tax liability, explains Roberton Williams, a senior fellow at the Tax Policy Center.

    Despite the fact that rich people paying little in the way of income taxes makes plenty of headlines, this is the exception to the rule: The top 1 percent of taxpayers pay a higher effective income tax rate than any other group (around 23 percent, according to a report released by the Tax Policy Center in 2014) — nearly seven times higher than those in the bottom 50 percent.

    On average, those in the bottom 40 percent of the income spectrum end up getting money from the government. Meanwhile, the richest 20 percent of Americans, by far, pay the most in income taxes, forking over nearly 87 percent of all the income tax collected by Uncle Sam.

    The top 1 percent of Americans, who have an average income of more than $2.1 million, pay 43.6 percent of all the federal individual income tax in the US; the top 0.1 percent — just 115,000 households, whose average income is more than $9.4 million — pay more than 20 percent of it.

    Citi: Risk of global recession rising
    SNIP


    "We are currently in a highly precarious environment for global growth and asset markets after two to three years of relative calm," Citigroup said, noting that global growth was "unusually weak" in the fourth quarter at around 2.0 percent on-year.

    "The most recent deterioration in the global outlook is due to a moderate worsening in the prospects for the advanced economies, a large increase in the uncertainty about the advanced economies' outlook (notably for the U.S.) and a tightening in financial conditions everywhere," the bank said.

    At the same time, fundamentals remain poor, including concerns about a structural and cyclical slowdown in China and its "unsustainable" currency regime, excessive leverage and rising regional risks, such as the risk the U.K. may exit the European Union, it said.

    The Washington insiders who work to get Chinese deals approved
    SNIP


    WASHINGTON/NEW YORK (Reuters) - A spate of proposed Chinese takeovers of U.S. companies, from the Chicago Stock Exchange to makers of high-end semiconductors, has created a vibrant business for a small circuit of Washington insiders who advise on how to get cross-border deals approved by the U.S. government.

    Several former U.S. officials have in recent years joined the ranks of lawyers, consultants and lobbyists that have emerged as key brokers in trying to get Chinese acquisitions or investments in U.S. companies approved by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), which scrutinizes deals for national security concerns.

    Because this interagency panel, comprising 16 U.S. government departments or agencies and chaired by the Treasury, does not publish its decisions or its reasoning for them, advisers say inside knowledge and connections are important to navigate what outsiders often see as a "black-box" review process.

    There have been 22 M&A transactions announced in the United States so far in 2016 involving Chinese acquirers, worth a combined $23 billion, according to Thomson Reuters data. That is a massive increase from 88 deals worth $13 billion for all of 2015, and 88 deals for $7 billion in 2014.

    Sifting Through Swiss Gold Vaults for Clues of Venezuela Default

    Venezuela gold transfer is good sign Friday payment to be made
    Still, investors say payment could be the last before default

    For anyone still doubting whether Venezuela will make a $1.5 billion bond payment on Friday, recent activity in a gold vault 5,000 miles away may provide an important clue.

    Venezuela shipped 35.8 metric tons, or $1.28 billion, of the precious metal to Switzerland in January, according to data from Swiss customs authorities. That, combined with a $472 million withdrawal from the country’s cash reserves on Friday, is boosting bets Venezuela will make good on its commitment this week. After that, it’s anyone’s guess.

    “Gold is convertible, it’s just not liquid,” said Siobhan Morden, the head of Latin American fixed-income strategy at Nomura Holdings Inc. “I assume it’s being shifted to convert into liquidity.”

    Trade Minister Jesus Faria said this week that the government will honor all of its obligations. “Every debt payment this year is guaranteed, including this Friday’s and those in October and November. We have the resources,” Faria said on the sidelines of a mining investment event in Caracas. “There is not the slightest chance that we would delay payment.”

    The asking price of the bond due Friday climbed to 98.97 cents on the dollar from 96.98 at the end of last week. The fact that it trades more than a cent below par so close to maturity shows there are still some traders who doubt the payment will be made.

    Meltdown pushes 359 stocks under a buck
    Want to see just how much pressure the stock market is under? Got a buck? There are now 359 stocks trading for under $1 a share - the highest in more than 20 years.

    The number of stocks currently trading on a major U.S. exchange for less $1 a share has jumped 38% this year and is up 420% from five years ago, according to a USA TODAY analysis of data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. Seeing such a rapid jump in the number of penny stocks shows just how pummeled the market has become. This analysis is limited to stocks currently trading on a major U.S. exchange - thus omits stocks that have been delisted or bought over the years.

    And Now The NYSE Also Breaks, S&P Futures Jump
    Submitted by Tyler Durden on 02/25/2016

    It's just getting ridiculous: moments after the Euronext exchange broke down unexpected duo the "technical difficulties" shutting down "part of the market", and spiking the Stoxx600 in the process, moments ago the NYSE itself decided to have a "technical glitch", one which coming alongside James "QE4" Bullard's CNBC interview has pushed S&P500 futures to their overnight highs.

    HALLIBURTON CUTS 5,000 JOBS, 8% OF WORKFORCE
    Halliburton - which cut thousands upon thousands of jobs in 2015 - is back it, announcing an additional 5,000 layoffs on Thursdsay. The cuts amount to 8% of the company's remaining workforce. We say "remaining" because as CNN notes, "the latest pink slips bring Halliburton's job cut tally to between 26,000 to 27,000 since employee headcount peaked in 2014."

    China Unveils Its Deliverables for G-20 -- And No Plaza Pact
    China began signaling what its officials plan to present to counterparts at the two-day Group of 20 meeting in Shanghai, laying out a platform for more government spending and renewed pledges of currency stability.

    Notably rejected in comments from Finance Minister Lou Jiwei published Thursday was a proposal that emanated from some private-sector analysts for a grand, 1985 Plaza Accord-style deal among G-20 members to guide exchange rates.

    Vice Finance Minister Zhu Guangyao said fiscal stimulus should be deployed to boost global growth, while Yi Gang, the deputy central bank governor, said China will maintain a relatively stable currency as it embraces market forces.

    Clouding what should have been China’s chance to showcase its agenda, the nation’s stocks plunged anew on the eve of the Feb. 26-27 meetings of central bank chiefs and finance ministers, as surging money-market rates signaled tighter liquidity.

    "The stock slump has been triggered by the disappointment of investors in the government’s ability to deliver economic reforms," said Hong Kong-based Lu Ting, chief economist at Huatai Securities Co. "Any recovery in the stock market will rely on concrete outcomes of reforms, not empty talk."

    The Secret Global Reset Agreement
    You are not allowed to know about this secret international Financial Reset Agreement. That’s why VT is covering it. It is just one more reason why the Western Nations created ISIS.

    …by Preston James
    Veterans Today
    By now it has become clear to most VT readers that ISIS was created and trained, and is now supplied and paid by a secret coalition of nations including America, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and other smaller but real players.

    ISIS wounded have been taken to Israel for treatment and some picked up by American Military helicopters.

    The current head of the Senate Military Affairs Committee, Senator John McCain has been deeply involved in the creation of ISIS and has worked closely with a retired American general who is now in a Mideast nation functioning as the Commander of ISIS.

    Senator McCain was propelled into the power vacuum of our current Administration marked by a President nearing the end of his term who has lost most of his military command. And most VT readers know the foreign power that Senator McCain really works for along with almost every other Member of the US Congress because of their Oath to AIPAC.

    And we know that the purpose of ISIS has been to destabilize the Mideast, Balkanize Syria and Iran and now Europe with massive immigration. But also to protect the business interests in Israel related to new massive Golan Heights oil finds and a new planned pipeline to supply oil and gas to Europe.

    We also know that another reason for the hiring and deployment of the mercenaries to make up ISIS is to assist NATO in isolate and weaken the Russian Republic in order to protect Big Oil’s interests and to help maintain the economic hegemony of the West which has been dwindling under Russian Federation Growth and increasing economic and military might. All these Mideast wars and terrorism are always linked to Big Oil and manipulating it’s pricing for profits.

    BofA Is Still Not Buying It: "Everyone (Including Ourselves) Is A Seller Into Strength"
    Tyler Durden's pictureSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 02/26/2016


    With the S&P retesting its stubborn support level of 1,812 as recently as a week ago, many have continued to predict that failures to breach said level would result in violent bear market rallies, most recently JPM which however "should be faded", as it noted three weeks ago, looked at earnings and said that "16x and $120 create a firm ceiling at ~1950 and thus moves toward that level should be faded."

    Others such as BofA's Michael Harnett, and overnight Citi, went so far as saying that unless the G-20 comes out with a big stimulative surprise, it would open the path for the market's next leg lower, below this critical support.

    Since then the market has indeed been gripped in the latest furious short squeeze, which as of right now has the S&P trading some 150 higher in under two weeks, at about 1962.

    So has that change the big picture? Not for Bank of America.

    In a note released overnight by BofA's Chief Investment Strategist, Michael Hartnett, he looks at the surge into gold, which as previously noted was the biggest 3 week inflow since January 2009."

    Obama Just Nationalized 1.8M Acres of Gold and Silver Land Deposits
    Bix Weir <bix@roadtoroota.com>
    2/26/2016

    I told you it was coming. The Road to Roota documents released by the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston clearly state that one of the options in the transition is for the Government to take over the gold and silver mining operations after the crash.

    Obama has just set the stage for it by nationalizing a large chunk of the hidden gold and silver deposits...

    Monumental Audacity -- Obama Grabs Huge Western Lands by Executive Order

    http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/constitution/item/22565-monumental-audacity-obama-grabs-huge-western-lands-by-executive-order

    "While in California on a fundraising expedition, President Obama took time on February 12 to sign an executive order proclaiming three new national monuments, imposing the strictest of federal restrictions on 1.8 million acres of the Golden State. The three new illegally created monuments are Mojave Trails National Monument (1.6 million acres), the Sand to Snow National Monument (154,000 acres), and the Castle Mountains National Monument (21,000 acres)."

    "In addition to permanently protecting incredible natural resources, wildlife habitat and unique historic and cultural sites, and providing recreational opportunities for a burgeoning region, the monuments will support climate resiliency in the region," the White House said in a statement. However, the designation as monuments means that these newly "protected" areas will be off-limits to mining and mineral exploration, oil and gas drilling, grazing, timber harvest -- and even to many of the current recreational uses such as camping, hiking, hunting, fishing, horseback riding, and off-road vehicle usage that the public previously has enjoyed. But that's OK, because it's all in the greater interest, allegedly, of "protecting" the environment and combating global warming, according to the president."

    END

    If you still have any gold and silver mining stocks they are 100% at risk of nationalization either by the current standing governments OR by WE THE PEOPLE after the system crashes and everyone loses everything they hold in paper form. There will be too much ANGER towards the rich for the people to allow you to profit from the wealth in "THEIR" ground.

    This is what the End Game is all about.

    According to my Timeline, the next few months will see MASSIVE banking write-downs, write-offs and bankruptcies. Now is not the time to be holding paper ANYTHING. Physical silver in your own possession is the "No Brainer" of a Lifetime!


    I have posted the latest Friday Road Trip (Private Road Members) and will be updating the Timeline article next week to give you a Road Map for the coming chaos. Here's this week's Road Trip...

    NPL - Non Performing loans effectively disappear
    YEAR OF DEBT JUBILLE - SHEMITA 7 YR CYCLE*


    NOTE - THIS IS ONLY AT THE GEO-POLITICIAL SOVERIGN COUNTRY LEVEL FOR FINANCIAL INSITUITIONS -- SO FAR!

    Fortunately, China now has a solution for that rather vexing problem. Beijing will simply allow banks to securitize their NPLs. "China will allow domestic banks to issue up to 50 billion yuan ($7.7 billion) of asset-backed securities based on their non-performing loans, the first quota for such sales since 2008," Bloomberg reports, citing the ubiquitous people familiar with the matter. "The quota, which will initially be allocated mainly to China’s largest banks, will allow lenders to remove non-performing loans from their balance sheets at a time when asset quality is deteriorating and the economy is slowing, the people said, asking not to be named as the plan isn’t public." If this goes as planned it could allow banks to remove as much as CNY150 billion in bad loans from their books.

    But again, because of these are carried on banks' books, you won't see them show up in the NPL column - even if they go bad. The takeaway from all of this is that trying to pin down credit risk at Chinese banks is an endless game of "Whack-a-Mole". Beijing is constantly working to allow banks to shift and reclassify "assets" and/or transfer credit risk either to some entity where it can't be tracked or at least to areas of the balance sheet where it effectively disappears.*

    Deutsche Bank: It’s time to buy gold
    Gold is still expensive, but rising economic risks and market turmoil mean investors should buy it for insurance, Deutsche Bank said Friday.

    The recovery since the global and European financial crises had put the price of gold under some pressure. The yellow metal, which some analysts view as a safe haven or as a protection against rising inflation, typically underperforms during periods when the economy is growing or inflation is low. However, in a note issued Friday, the German Bank said economic signs are pointing in gold's favor.

    "There are rising stresses in the global financial system; in particular the rising risk of a U.S. corporate default cycle and the risk of a sharp one-off renminbi devaluation due to the sharp increase in China's capital outflows," Deutsche Bank added."Buying some gold as 'insurance' is warranted."

    However, even though gold has fallen from levels over $1,900 an ounce in 2011 to around $1,200 an ounce currently, Deutsche Bank said it still looks expensive, ranking as the most expensive commodity relative to its 15-year trading history.

    "A bit like insurance, which is often a grudge purchase for many, some investors may balk at the current levels," it said. "We would, however, argue that given the plethora of negative deposit rates globally, the holding cost of gold is now negligible in many jurisdictions, and therefore gold deserves to be trading at elevated levels versus many other assets."

    BELGIUM CHARGES SWISS BANK UBS WITH ORGANIZING TAX EVASION

    BRUSSELS (AP) -- A Belgian judge charged Swiss bank UBS on Friday with money laundering and "serious and organized tax evasion," saying it directly sought clients in the country to help them skip taxes.

    The spokeswoman for the crown prosecutor, Jennifer Vanderputten, said in a statement that the charges were laid thanks to cooperation with French authorities, and refused to provide additional details.

    UBS said in a statement it takes note of the Belgian authorities' actions, but that "any discussion of potential charges at this stage is premature."

    "UBS will continue to defend itself against any unfounded allegations," it said.

    The charges come on top of previous ones against UBS's Belgian subsidiary. In that case, the head of the Belgian division was charged in June 2014 on suspicion that he and the firm had helped wealthy clients evade billions of euros in taxes.

    The suspected criminal activity is thought to have begun more than a decade ago, when UBS clients in Belgium were allegedly helped to reduce their tax payments.

    Simon Black reports: LINK HERE https://www.sovereignman.com/trends/breaking-us-government-releases-its-2015-financial-statements-18735/?inf_contact_key=af45ec6f8093378d02cdcf701fb26194b906d8ba9c18373bfbd3429cddd335bb

    US government releases its 2015 financial statements.
    37% of the government’s total reported assets are student loans, which is now considered one of the most precarious bubbles in finance.

    $1.2 trillion is similar to the size of the subprime mortgage market back in 2008. And delinquency rates are rising, now at 11.5% according to Federal Reserve data.

    Plus, it’s simply astonishing that so much of the federal government’s asset base is tantamount to indentured servitude as young people pay off expensive university degrees that barely land them jobs making coffee at Starbucks.

    On the other side of the equation are a reported $21.5 trillion in liabilities, giving the government an official net worth of negative $18.2 trillion.

    In this latest report, not only did the GAO chastise the federal government for its “unsustainable fiscal path”, but they state that the federal government consistently fails to prepare “reliable and complete financial information-- both for individual federal entities and for the federal government as a whole.”

    The Department of Defense, Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the Department of Agriculture are all singled out for their failure to prepare complete and accurate financial statements.

    This is corroborated by a report published last year stating that the Defense Department has somehow “misplaced” $8.5 trillion of taxpayer money over the last 20 years. (Must be those underground bases and secret space programs.)

    In all, the GAO calculates that these financial uncertainties total $27.9 trillion, suggesting that the government’s true financial condition is far worse than reported.

    Regulators Stand Back for Deutsche Bank Implosion

    As the price of silver is smashed below $15/oz on news today that Deutsche Bank has been cleared of precious metals manipulation, many people are scratching their heads about whether or not the Good Guys are winning this battle...

    German Regulator End Deutsche Bank over Fixing Scandals
    http://finance.yahoo.com/news/german-regulator-ends-deutsche-bank-180953418.html

    "FRANKFURT, Feb 25 (Reuters) - Germany's financial watchdog will take no further action against Deutsche Bank over interest rate rigging and precious metals price fixing, the country's largest lender said on Thursday."

    END

    I have the opposite view - the regulators and the Good Guys are trying to give Deutche Bank a wide berth to implode ON THEIR OWN!

    I've said it a million times, the Good Guys want ALL of the blame to be placed on the Banking Cabal and those that control them. They do NOT want the banks to be able to claim that it was the REGULATORS that caused the implosion of the banking system.

    So today's announcement clears the runway for the Deutsche Bank CRASH LANDING!

    Should be fun next week!

    May the Road you choose be the Right Road.

    PS - The latest Silver Slam should be 100% understood by you if you have been following my work. It should not even raise your blood pressure!! You know that they can "place" the price at $0/oz or $100/oz with a click of a mouse. In the old days it would take months for silver to recoup it's losses. But time is running short so now it should be only a couple of days before silver is back over $15.

    Oh how times have changed.

    Complete List of BANKS Owned/Controlled by the Rothschild Family -
    Central banks are illegally created PRIVATE banks that are owned by the Rothschild banking family. The family has been around for more than 230 years and has slithered its way into each country on this planet, threatened every world leader and their governments and cabinets with physical and economic death and destruction, and then emplaced their own people in these central banks to control and manage each country’s pocketbook. Worse, the Rothschilds also control the machinations of each government at the macro level, not concerning themselves with the daily vicissitudes of our individual personal lives. Except when we get too far out of line. - See more at:

    Guess How Many Nations In The World Do Not Have A Central Bank?
    Submitted by Michael Snyder via The Economic Collapse blog,

    Central banking has truly taken over the entire planet. At this point, the only major nation on the globe that does not have a central bank is North Korea. Yes, there are some small island countries such as the Federated States of Micronesia that do not have a central bank, but even if you count them, more than 99.9% of the population of the world still lives in a country that has a central bank.

    So how has this happened? How have we gotten the entire planet to agree that central banking is the best system? Did the people of the world willingly choose this? Of course not. To my knowledge, there has never been a single vote where the people of a nation have willingly chosen to establish a central bank. Instead, what has happened is that central banks have been imposed on all of us.

    All over the world, people have been told that monetary issues are “too important” to be subject to politics, and that the only solution is to have a group of unelected, unaccountable bankers control those things for us.

    PUBLIC CENTRAL BANK
    - On Reclaiming Our Central Bank And Monetary Policy -

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------
    "Whoever controls the volume of money in any country is
    the master of all its legislation and commerce."
    President James A. Garfield
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------
    The "Federal Reserve" is not a government institution but a private central bank owned by a handful of major banks and bond dealers. As such, it is a cartel owned, controlled, and essentially for-profit driven, not by the people of the United States but, instead, by the banking industry's ruling elite. This oligarchic setup generates the most costly, debt-based, money system and greatest conflicts of interest in the history of the world. It is a system clearly at odds with the intent of the founders of the United States of America.

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Public Central Bank - Fire The Fed

    "If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks...will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered... The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs."

    Thomas Jefferson


    "If congress has the right under the Constitution to issue paper money, it was given them to use themselves, not to be delegated to individuals or corporations."

    Andrew Jackson


    "The Government should create, issue, and circulate all the currency and credits needed to satisfy the spending power of the Government and the buying power of consumers. By the adoption of these principles, the taxpayers will be saved immense sums of interest. Money will cease to be master and become the servant of humanity."

    Abraham Lincoln


    "The issue which has swept down the centuries and which will have to be fought sooner or later is the people versus the banks."

    Lord Acton

    The current banking and Wall Street crisis is a direct result of a private central bank system. We are cursed with the deliberately mis-named "Federal" Reserve which is no more than a privatized and exclusive debt-money creation system devoid of public ownership. In this so-called "independent" institution there is no public interest or power within its privately-owned, profit-seeking, system.

    When the power to create our money and credit is in private hands, and based on an exclusive franchise for debt-money creation and sale of bonds at interest - as opposed to direct Treasury financing - then the entire economic and social system is set up for private profit, and debt ruin, at public expense. As history has proven, this structure is virtually guaranteed to result in endless predation, corruption, and eventual collapse at immense public expense.

    The founders of this country well understood this very problem and so, in their wisdom, put the "purse powers" in the hands of the most democratic body – i.e., Congress – exactly so the people would have the right and power to vote on their monetary policy every two years, course correct their own society and economy, and escape the predictable ruin of a private debt-money system under which we have no alternative or escape.

    Today, however, under a private central bank system we have no such public privilege or power. We are powerless at the hands of the real owners of the "Federal’ Reserve – i.e., the major investment banks and historic banking families both here and abroad. These are the very people and institutions who have profited, geared the structure to their endless, debt-money, advantage and proceeded to rape the system until it collapses and the public is forced to rescue and bailout the very predators and criminals at the helm. In any case, this is a society-controlling power no private entity should ever attain.
