Fine the Banks and Balance the Budget
Who needs to raise Taxes? Oblabla been doing that for years ..500 mil here and 3 billion there and pretty soon its adds up to real money !
Gubberment turns its head as Banks rob and plunder ….then the Gubberment comes along and FINES (Robs) the Robbers ..The Banks have become the TAX collectors in a recession ….where the people have no income to tax… They learned it from drug runners in Florida where LOCAL police release drug runners after a few days in jail so they can capture them again in a few weeks and fine them again ..they were financing their BUDGETS doing that !
ipso facto @ 13:05 SLW
Its not so bad a deal,since it puts a floor under the price of $20.55 and puts the Banks in a position where its in their interest to support that price ..
Its puts the Banks on the Companys side for a change ! I’ve been buying it for seversl years at that price and selling as it gets to cycle peak for a $20 % trade every year .
Buy it back in June and ride it again till Feb for a second ride….

US Department of Justice stated that JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A. will pay more than $50 million to more than 25,000 homeowners currently in bankruptcy as part of a settlement with the US government for having issued faulty bankruptcy documents.
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A. will pay more than $50 million to more than 25,000 homeowners currently in bankruptcy as part of a settlement with the US government for having issued faulty bankruptcy documents, a US Department of Justice statement said.
“The Department of Justice’s US Trustee Program (USTP) has entered into a national settlement agreement with JPMorgan Chase requiring Chase to pay more than $50 million… to over $25,000 homeowners,” the statement, issued on Tuesday, said.
“Chase acknowledges that it filed in bankruptcy courts across the country more than 50,000 payment change notices that were improperly signed,” the statement added.
The settlement stipulates Chase will provide $22.4 million in credits and second lien forgiveness to around 400 homeowners; $10.8 million to more than 12,000 homeowners in bankruptcy; $4.8 million to more than 18,000 homeowners who did not receive accurate and timely statements; $4.9 million to more than 8,000 homeowners whose payments Chase applied in an inconsistent manner; and $7.5 million to the American Bankruptcy Institute’s endowment for financial education and support for the Credit Abuse Resistance Education, according to the statement.
Additionally, the settlement stipulates that the Morvillo LLP attorney Amy Walsh will oversee Chase to verify it complies with the Justice Department settlement, the statement said.
The US Trustee Program is the component of the Justice Department that was established to oversee case administration and litigating to enforce the nation’s bankruptcy laws.

In “Unprecedented Move” Nobel Peace Prize Chairman Demoted For Decision To Give Obama 2009 Award
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/03/2015 19:11 -0500
Back in 2009, just months after his swearing in, president Barack Obama was crowned with an unexpected glory: he won the Nobel Peace Prize for 2009 due to “his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.” Back then there was little indication that just a few years after his crowning achievement of “ending the war” in and returning US troops from Iraq, he would send US troops right back in Iraq for the 3rd US invasion of the country in three decades, but also send out US troops across the globe, and launch the second cold war, pushing the world to the brink of another “large scale war.” Those who wish to read Obama’s teleprompted and ghostwritten acceptance “speech can do so here.
At the time the White House, and the fawning media, was delighted by this crowning, if premature, achievement of the progressive president.
Which is why don’t expect much coverage of the inevitable aftermath: earlier today, in what France24 dubbed an “in an unprecedented move“, the controversial head of Norway’s Nobel Peace Prize committee was removed Tuesday and demoted to the rank of mere member.
Thorbjoern Jagland, a former Norwegian premier, drew criticism after becoming committee chairman in 2009 for awarding the prestigious Nobel to newly elected US President Barack Obama. He will be replaced by current Deputy Chair Kaci Kullmann Five.
The Nobel Peace Prize awarding Norwegian Nobel Committee on Tuesday elected a new chairman to replace Thorbjoern Jagland, whose six-year tenure has been lined with controversies.
Jagland will remain a member of the voting panel but was a contentious leader, attracting criticism for his dual role as committee chairman and head of the European Council when the prize was awarded to the European Union in 2012. His leadership also was clouded by the decision to give the prize to Barack Obama in 2009 after he had just been elected president, and the 2010 prize to the jailed dissident Liu Xiabo drew fury from China.
The former labor politician was replaced by the panel’s deputy chairman, Kaci Kullmann Five, a former conservative party leader. She denied that Jagland’s ousting had anything to do with pressure from China, which froze diplomatic ties to Norway after the 2010 award.
She did not deny that his ousting had anything to do with Obama who has since the aware become a neo-con warhawk, who has put some of the most bloodthirsty republicans to shame, and whose actions (and lack thereof) have led to not only global conflict intensity spiking To a 7-year high, but have generated untold riches to the shareholders of the military industrial complex.

Heavily armed drug cops raid retiree’s garden, seize okra plants
Georgia police declare war on okra
Georgia police raided a retired Atlanta man’s garden last Wednesday after a helicopter crew with the Governor’s Task Force for Drug Suppressionspotted suspicious-looking plants on the man’s property. A heavily-armed K9 unit arrived and discovered that the plants were, in fact, okra bushes.
The officers eventually apologized and left, but they took some of the suspicious okra leaves with them for analysis. Georgia state patrol told WSB-TV in Atlanta that “we’ve not been able to identify it as of yet. But it did have quite a number of characteristics that were similar to a cannabis plant.”
Indeed! Like cannabis, okra is green and it has leaves.
Okra busts like these are good reason for taxpayers to be skeptical about the wisdom of sending guys up in helicopters to fly around aimlessly, looking for drugs in suburban gardens. And that’s not to mention the issue of whether we want a society where heavily-armed cops can burst into your property, with no grounds for suspicion beyond what somebody thought he saw from several hundred yards up in a helicopter.
Marijuana eradication programs, like the one that sent the helicopter up above the Georgia man’s house, are typically funded partly via the Drug Enforcement Agency’s Cannabis Eradication Program. Many of these funds come from the controversial asset forfeiture programs, which allow law enforcement officials to seize property from citizens never even charged – much less convicted – of a crime.
The Cannabis Eradication programs have historically inflated the size of their hauls by including non-psychoactive “ditchweed” in their totals of plants seized. In past years, ditchweed accounted for up to 98 percent of seized outdoor plant totals. According to the ONDCP, ditchweed still makes up an unspecified percent of outdoor plants seized.
It is also unclear how many of the seized plants are actually okra.
That’s a load off my mind

$Gold..Road Map
Going back a month ago and then several weeks thereafter, I mentioned buying Put options as a strategy to protect/profit during the upcoming Int. downtrend that was then commencing. By now, it should be acknowleged that we are indeed into that downtrend. $1200 is a major resistance point now as it was on the way up. However, when we look at prior Int. down cycles we can easily see that we probably have 6 or more weeks to go yet.
With that much time to go then it is doubtful that $Gold $1150 will hold. $1100 has a chance yet on a weekly closing basis with a downside daily punch thru that level and a V snapback. Once this is over then its time to take profits on the puts and buy calls. Surely not yet. March looks miserable …even up to mid-April tax time.
So you think you are going to sell your phiz
my investing buddy says the following:
“If you exchange it for dollars, then you take a loss immediately (if you live in the USA) as the IRS will take the increase in price at 28% plus your state may add another 5 or 10%. Then you begin taking losses as the dollar resumes its slide once again.”
I’ve never sold bullion, but that sounds like a rip off to me. So when people go to a coin shows, a dealer etc. and sell a coin who reports who?
And how about the part where I take losses after the dollar resumes it slide and losing money? Um hello when the dollar slides the price of gold usually goes up not down (recently this has not been true I know). Why the dollar and gold have this irrational relationship of high dollar, pretty high gold? It tells me people around the world are hiding in dollars instead of euro.

It looks like the military has more vehicles than they have proper parking for. I’ve come to a conclusion about that:
The military has lots of vehicles and they don’t like to walk!
FWIW!! Thousands Of Military Vehicles Lined Up Outside Of Underground Bunkers In America – What Are They Preparing For Now?
http://www.allnewspipeline.com/Massive_Preparation_At_Army_Depots.php
By Stefan Stanford – All News Pipeline – Live Free Or Die
Susan Duclos and I took a great interest in the new videos below put out by YouTube videographer Professor Doom1 as we are actually SHOWN where many of the military vehicles on trains are going to across America, to US Army Depots which are spread out across the country. While this linked story from ABC10 about California’s Sierra Army Depot answer’s ONE of the ‘why’s’ there has been so much military movement here in America recently, our follow-up research has opened a totally new ‘Pandora’s Box’ that you can investigate yourself via the internet; we’ll tell you how below this ABC10 story clip ‘why’. :
America’s wars in Afghanistan and Iraq are winding down and billions of dollars of military equipment is coming home. That gear, from high-tech weapons systems to soldiers’ boots, is stored at dozens of military depots across the country. Sierra is one of those depots, occupying 36,000 acres of Lassen County high desert between Susanville and Reno.
Most depots have a specialty and Sierra’s is storing non-essential equipment. That is gear not included on a unit’s standard list of authorized equipment – things like night vision goggles, rifle scopes, radios and generators.
After watching Professor Doom’s videos, I decided to use Google Earth to check out a few of the US Army Depot’s myself to see what I could find out via the ever present ‘eye in the sky’…to say that I found a ‘few’ military vehicles would be a huge understatement. To see that military vehicles are lined up EVERYWHERE surrounding underground bunkers at the Red River Army Depot in Hooks, Texas, only begins the mystery.
While we KNOW that the Red River Army depot in Texas has historically been used as a location to store explosive ordinances underground, what we’ve found in the screenshots below bring up more questions than answers. WHY are there THOUSANDS of military vehicles lined up outside of these underground bunkers? Are they dropping off munitions to be stored there or are they picking up munitions for their ‘next battle’, possibly here in America? We also have to remember that many of these images for Google Earth were taken back in 2014…what is going on now? (You can check out all of these depots yourself by clicking on links to Google Earth). There are many more screenshots of what we’ve found below videos; we’d love to know what our readers think.
We’ve also heard reports of UFO activity near Red River Army Depot as well as one report of a possible underground prison system at this location. Is Red River Army Depot a secretive ‘NWO’ command center of some type? 
This next screenshot shows Red River Army Depot again further zoomed out…countless military vehicles surrounding underground bunkersthat you’ll see much more clearly upon zooming in seen next 2 images below it. 
This next screenshot is interesting as it shows the bunker roofs before they were covered over with grass. 
This screenshot shows the Red River Army Depot in its’ entirety. Storage of vehicles surrounding bunkers shown in more detail above is at middle/left of this screenshot. 
The Letterkenny Army Depot in Pennsylvania also houses many military vehicles, though not near bunkers but out in the open. 
While Bluegrass Army Depot near Richmond, Kentucky also has the underground bunkers, presumably for the storage of munitions, we did not see any military vehicles lined up outside of their location on that particular day.

Pretty funny that the head of the committee that gave Obama the Nobel Prize got demoted. I’m sure they’d take it back if they could!
FWIW: Ten Things I Learned From People Who Survived Cancer
When I interviewed women who had survived breast cancer for my art project The Woman Inside, I noticed that they all shared one remarkable thing in common.
They had all faced down death and decided to live every day like it might be their last. And then they all beat cancer.
The more interviews I did, the more I noticed that these women were living differently than most of the people I knew who had not been diagnosed with cancer. Here’s what I learned from those survivor women. Learning these lessons changed my life, and I hope they’ll change yours.
10 Things I Learned From People Who Survive Cancer:
1. Be unapologetically YOU. People who survive cancer get feisty. They walk around bald in shopping malls and roll their eyes if people look at them funny. They say what they think. They laugh often. They don’t make excuses. They wear purple muumuus when they want to.
2. Don’t take shit from people. People who survive cancer stop trying to please everybody. They give up caring what everybody else thinks. If you might die in a year anyway (and every single one of us could), who gives a flip if your Great Aunt Gertrude is going to cut you out of her will unless you kiss her ass?
3. Learn to say no. People with cancer say no when they don’t feel like going to the gala. They avoid gatherings when they’d prefer to be alone. They don’t let themselves get pressured into doing things they really don’t want to do.
4. Get angry. Then get over it. People who survive cancer get in your face. They question you. They feel their anger. They refuse to be doormats. They demand respect. They feel it. Then they forgive. They let go. They surrender. They don’t stay pissed. They release resentment.
5. Don’t obsess about beauty. People who survive cancer no longer worry about whether they have perfect hair, whether their makeup looks spotless, or whether their boobs are perky enough. They’re happy just to have boobs (if they still do). They’re happy to be alive in their skin, even if it’s wrinkled.
6. Do it now. Stop deferring happiness. People who survive cancer realize that you can’t wait until you kick the bucket to do what you’re dying to do. Quit that soul-sucking job now. Leave that deadbeat husband. Prioritize joy. They live like they mean it.
7. Say “I love you” often. People who survive cancer leave no words left unspoken. You never know when your time is up. Don’t risk having someone you love not know it.
8. Take care of your body. People who survive cancer have a whole new appreciation for health. Those who haven’t been there may take it for granted. So stop smoking. Eat healthy. Drink in moderation. Maintain a healthy weight. Avoid putting toxic poisons in your God Pod. Get enough sleep.
9. Prioritize freedom. People who survive cancer know that being a workaholic isn’t the answer. Money can’t buy health. Security doesn’t matter if you’re six feet under. Sixteen hours a day of being a stress monster is only going to make you sick. As Tim Ferriss writes in The 4-Hour Workweek, “Gold is getting old. The New Rich are those who abandon the deferred-life plan and create luxury lifestyles in the present using the currency of the New Rich: time and mobility.”
10. Take risks. People who survive cancer have faced their fear and told it to go to hell. They know life is for living. Fear is powerless. And joy lies in taking risks. So go sky diving if you want. Bungee jump. Hang glide. Spend your savings. Live like you might die tomorrow.
Are you doing these things? Or are you waiting for cancer to test out how much you want to live?
Don’t wait for cancer, my love. Don’t tempt the Universe that way.
Be brave enough to live NOW.

You said: “I don’t understand why as a civilization we fail to advance not technologically but spiritually.”
Because spirituality of the civilization is accomplished one individual at a time…it is a slow process due to the fact that some or all of our offspring fall by the wayside due to lack of knowledge of God.
Train up a child in the way he should go, And even when he is old he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6.
The Death of the Eastern Pacific
The Death Of The Eastern Pacific
If the oceans die, we die. The seas are being assaulted from countless sources and directions. The damage has accumulated far past the breaking point, there will be no hiding the gravity of what is unfolding for much longer. The power structure will then become more dangerous than ever. Governments and mainstream media are not giving any significant coverage on the extremely rapid ocean die-off. What part has climate engineering played in this cataclysm? Plenty. Geoengineering over the Eastern Pacific (which is off the west coast of the US) is constant, satellite imagery confirms this fact. In addition to solar radiation management (SRM), ocean fertilization is likely also being carried out as part of the geoengineering programs. Ocean fertilization has many decimating effects including the creation of low oxygen “dead zones” which are rapidly increasing and expanding. Ocean acidity is fueled due to the Co2 absorption that is forced by the fertilization process. Upper level wind patterns are being radically altered by the ongoing climate engineering. This in turn alters ocean currents, this factor is contributing to the continued massive heat build up in the Eastern Pacific as the long expected and predicted el nino has not been allowed to develop. The heat stays bottled up in the seas with dire consequences. Climate engineering is also shredding the ozone layerwhich exposes plankton to deadly levels of UV radiation. Global plankton populations are crashing which means the foundation of the food chain is crumbling.
Climate engineering is nothing short of an all out assault on the biosphere and it is certainly a major factor in the shocking die-off outlined in the article below. Get educated, arm yourself with credible data, and help to sound the alarm.
ADP Employment Drops, Misses; Zandi Admits “Jobs Growth Slowing”
Tyler Durden’s pictureSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 03/04/2015 08:24 -0500
Another day, another missed data point. ADP Employment data shows 212k jobs added in February, which modestly missed expectations of 219k and is the weakest monthly gain in 6 months. This despite a strong prior revision, pushing the January number up from 213K to 250K to catch up to the BLS runrate. Despite the miss, that showed large businesses adding by far the fewest jobs, Mark Zandi as usual remains optimistic: “jobs growth is strong but slowing,” and expects the economy “will return to full employment by mid-2016.”

Animosity in Greece toward German officials has been apparent in recent weeks. A cartoon that ran in the Greek leftist newspaper Avgi, or “The Dawn,” last week featured a caricature of Schäuble with the captions, “We insist on soap from your fat” and “we are discussing fertilizer from your ashes.” Schäuble is depicted wearing a Nazi uniform and the references are clearly to the Holocaust.
