The collapse of currencies and nations won’t happen overnight, because their demise has been planned, and a subtle collapse is in process. Our guess is that next year is when the collapse will finally take place followed by one of the greatest deflationary depressions of all time. During the last 2-1/2 years all the toxic investments have been and will continue to be transferred from the Illuminist banks, brokerage houses, insurance companies and transnational conglomerates to the public. The Federal Reserve is the repository for this junk, which includes Treasuries and Agencies. That means the public foots the bill. Every government and bank in the world will be affected.

We all read the news stories popping up about the IRS acquiring 60 new police shotguns recently and to be honest, I’m surprised at the hype. I’m no fan of the IRS, as I’m sure most Americans aren’t. But, having been a police officer I understand that every branch of government – local, state and even Federal – require weapons. As we all know, the ‘tax man’ is always armed. That’s the only way he can squeeze your hard earned money from you! This has been true for centuries upon centuries and the IRS is no exception.

While President Obama was making his latest pitch for a brand new, even more unsustainable entitlement at the health care “summit,” thousands of Greeks took to the streets to riot. An enterprising cable network might have shown the two scenes on a continuous split screen – because they’re part of the same story. It’s just that Greece is a little further along in the plot.

Stop trying to chase your lost equity. That money is gone. Millions of Americans are now deeply underwater on their mortgage. If you’re among them, you need to stop living in a dream world and give serious thought to walking away from the debt. The lenders would do the same to you—in a heartbeat.

Hazardous materials crews and the FBI were on the scene Monday at the IRS building in Ogden, Utah, where several people were subjected to decontamination showers. The IRS confirmed that “an unknown substance” was discovered but also gave no further details. The two- or three-story building is in an industrial area and is surrounded by a fence in Ogen, about 35 miles north of Salt Lake City. No signs on the building indicate it is an IRS facility.

The leader of a Pakistan based terrorist organisation closely affiliated with Al-Qaeda has detailed how his group benefited from extensive political and financial support from the CIA in return for continued attacks against the government, the people and the infrastructure of Iran.

In admitting he conspired to obstruct justice, Lohman acknowledged helping concoct a cover story for police shootings that left two New Orleanians dead and four injured in the chaotic days after Hurricane Katrina.
