Western Security Services May Be Turning IS Militants on Russia: Ex-Intelligence Officer

MOSCOW, November 5 (RIA Novosti) - The growing influence of Islamic State militants poses a threat to Russia's security, and there is a possibility that these extremists are supported by Western security services, retired Lt. Gen. Nikolai Pushkarev, formerly of the Russian Armed Forces’ Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU) told RIA Novosti.

"There are threats. The extremists use Islam for political destabilization of a number of states. These events will not lead to a good outcome. They have stated that they will attack America," Pushkarev said.

However, there are also "reasons to believe that US and British intelligence agencies may support the Islamic extremists to threaten the territorial integrity of Russia."

"The top of these movements may be under influence by NATO agents. As for Russia's involvement in these events, there should not be a direct intervention. Since there are many Muslims living in Russia, direct intervention may lead to undesirable consequences," Pushkarev stated.

Russia should help with "non-military, diplomatic means, possibly economic," he told RIA Novosti, stressing that "Russia is interested in the Bashar Assad regime's survival, as it has very good relations with Syria".

The Islamic State is a Sunni extremist group that has been fighting the Syrian government since 2012. In June 2014, it launched an offensive in Iraq, seizing vast areas in both countries and announcing the establishment of an Islamic caliphate on the territories under its control.

The United States and a number of its allies have been carrying out airstrikes against IS targets in Iraq since August. In September, the coalition started conducting attacks against the IS in Syria as well.

Whatever Is Going to Happen, Is Going to Happen Soon

My email and phone have been busy taking reports from long-time associates and their uniform stories about what is coming to American in 2015.  I have never seen a time when so many are all talking about the same set of issues.  something big is about to happen.

A FEMA Camp Hidden In Plain View

An interesting event transpired at Mount McGregor prison in Wilton, N.Y.  this past summer when a Channel 13 news crew from New York was filming a commemoration of an historic event on public land when they inadvertently were filming an abandoned prison in the background.

In the middle of the filming, an unmarked car came racing down a hill and an officer, reminiscent of Barny Fife, ran up to the news crew and threatened them with arrest and demanded they turn over their video. The officer identified himself as “Lieutenant Dorn”. The news crew refused to comply  and were eventually allowed to go on their way when they refused to cower in the face of this seemingly senseless tyranny.

The New York Department of Corrections released a statement that have many scratching their collective heads:

“We regret that this situation escalated, however the WNYT news crew blatantly disregarded a state officer who informed them they were trespassing. Department regulations state that photographs taken while on Prison property require prior permission. This policy is for the safety of all staff, visitors and prisoners.”

Staff? Prisoners? What staff and what prisoners would be at an abandoned prison? The answer to that question will be provided near the end of the article.

 Obama Explains the Intention of FEMA Camps

Some misguided and very ignorant people will steadfastly deny the existence of any FEMA camps. Yet, there is one FEMA camp where people are held without having been charged, much less convicted of a crime. This FEMA camp prison is so ubiquitous that even the most ardent supporters of George W. Bush and President Obama cannot deny the existence of this FEMA camp where prolonged and indefinite detention, without any due process, represents the new “rule of law” in the United States. And where is this camp located?

In the video below, President Obama talks about the FEMA camps and explains their purposes. “Prolonged Detention” is the term being used to justify holding people for being an “undefined” threat.  You can be locked up for an indefinite period of time.

Reporting on FEMA Camps Could Be Dangerous to Your Health: Just Ask Glenn Beck

One morning, Glenn Beck announces he’s going to break the story of “FEMA Camps” and the threat they pose to Americans as we descend into becoming the  land of tyranny. However, by that night, Beck does a 180 degree turnaround and denies their existence. Just who got to Beck?

Where Is This Subterfuge Headed?

My sources tell me that the events of 2015 are going to be frightening. However, it is not just my sources, my media colleagues are being told the same by their confidential informants, as well, and the message is uniform.  Things are coalescing and are quickly coming to a head. Ebola is the springboard, but not necessarily the end game.

Both Paul Martin and John Moore  are stepping out in a very prominent manner and publicly revealing what their sources are saying. Yesterday, John Moore  released the following:

“…Yesterday, (11/3/2014) my source was in the company of a high level (CEO level) oil executive with 50+ years experience in the oil industry. My source was a non-participant in listening to conversation between the oil executive and a third party who also has decades of experience in the oil industry.The topic of the conversation was these two men pondering why none of the US oil refineries had any inventories of crude oil in inventory to be refined into finished product.They had no answer.

My source and I pondered this as well. My initial conclusion that this is an attempt to artificially create a shortage to increase prices, I have since rejected.

Upon further reflection, I now conclude that the simple answer is the correct answer: They don’t have crude oil because they won’t need crude oil. As it turns out, my source, independent of me, came to the same conclusion.

The next step in this matter is: why won’t they be refining oil? In that regard, my source hopes to have a follow-up conversation with the oil executive in the next 48 hours.

The list of possible reasons for this is short. None of them are good.

“1.) WW III
2.) Economic collapse
3.) The national power grid going down
4.) Nation-wide flu epidemic or Ebola running rampant
5.) The Ferguson MO matter spinning wildly out of control, leading to civil disorder in a number of major cities. That said, St. Louis is critical to a very large percentage of daily commercial activity in the USA.
    A.) Major rail hub North-South…East-West
    B.) Interstates I-70. I-55, I-44, I-64, US 40, US 61, US 67 all converge at St. Louis
    C) All river traffic for the Missouri and Mississippi rivers North-bound pass through St. Louis.”

In a brief 5 minute conversation, just prior to going on the air Sunday night, Paul Martin told me that Ebola is going to be released in a widespread manner and that many of the elite, with prior knowledge, are leaving the country. Two years ago, I had my own brush with these types of revelations as I had a friend retire from FEMA and move to his bug out location. My friend had told me that America was likely to witness bioterror attacks with pathogens that the “the world has never seen”.

In the past three days, broadcast colleagues, quoting their sources, are relating very similar stories. Most of these revelation center around citizen roundups and forcible “prolonged” detention in a camp in response to some crisis. Certainly, Ebola provides that backdrop as I have reported on Human Health Services “ambulance contracts” designed to transport Ebola victims and those people exposed to Ebola and transport them to a FEMA camp.

I am told that by two of my best and current sources that all options are on the table, but that I am correct in being concerned with mass detentions which they both believe to be a goal that will be a part of whatever comes.

Conclusion

George Noory, Glenn Beck and Michael Savage knows what is coming. I know people who have told them. Beck and Noory can dance on the fence that forms the line between their mainstream media positions and their pretend positions as an emerging force in the alternative media. Neither of these two can be taken seriously. Savage feels he has to be careful. He talks about some of these issues on the periphery of his show, but he has lost affiliates and he obviously feels he should be careful.

And what about the abandoned prison in New York? A couple of things come to mind. First, Lieutenant Dorn and his abrasiveness is not the story. The fact that he does not want the prison filmed even as a backdrop, speaks volumes. I have learned that the “they are making a movie there” is a cover story. The Channel 13 news crew stumbled upon a FEMA camp that is not supposed to exist.

As more facts come to light in the coming weeks, more details are going to leak out and undoubtedly, more information will leak out and a more coherent picture will be forthcoming. Meanwhile, it might be a good idea to stock up on the essentials.

American Financial Markets Have No Relationship To Reality

Paul Craig Roberts and Dave Kranzler

As we have demonstrated in previous articles, the bullion banks (primarily JP Morgan, HSBC, ScotiaMocatta, Barclays, UBS, and Deutsche Bank), most likely acting as agents for the Federal Reserve, have been systematically forcing down the price of gold since September 2011. Suppression of the gold price protects the US dollar against the extraordinary explosion in the growth of dollars and dollar-denominated debt.

It is possible to suppress the price of gold despite rising demand, because the price is not determined in the physical market in which gold is actually purchased and carried away. Instead, the price of gold is determined in a speculative futures market in which bets are placed on the direction of the gold price. Practically all of the bets made in the futures market are settled in cash, not in gold. Cash settlement of the contracts serves to remove price determination from the physical market.

Cash settlement makes it possible for enormous amounts of uncovered or “naked” futures contracts — paper gold — to be printed and dumped all at once for sale in the futures market at times when trading is thin. By increasing the supply of paper gold, the enormous sales drive down the futures price, and it is the futures price that determines the price at which physical quantities of bullion can be purchased.

The fact that the price of gold is determined in a paper market, in which there is no limit to the supply of paper contracts that can be created, produces the strange result that the demand for physical bullion is at an all time high, outstripping world production, but the price continues to fall! Asian demand is heavy, especially from China, and silver and gold eagles are flying off the shelves of the US Mint in record quantities. Bullion stocks are being depleted; yet the prices of gold and silver fall day after day.

The only way that this makes sense is that the price of bullion is not determined in a real market, but in a rigged paper market in which there is no limit to the ability to print paper gold.

The Chinese, Russians, and Indians are delighted that the corrupt American authorities make it possible for them to purchase ever larger quantities of gold at ever lower prices. The rigged market is perfectly acceptable to purchasers of bullion, just as it is to US authorities who are committed to protecting the dollar from a rising price of gold.

Nevertheless, an honest person would think that the incompatibility of high demand with constrained supply and falling price would arouse the interest of economists, the financial media, financial authorities, and congressional committees.

Where are the class action suits from gold mining companies against the Federal Reserve, its bullion bank agents, and all who are harming the interest of the mining companies by short-selling gold with uncovered contracts? Rigged markets–especially on the basis of inside information–are illegal and highly unethical. The naked short-selling is causing damage to mining interests. Once the price of gold is driven below $1200 per ounce, many mines become uneconomical. They shut down. Miners are unemployed. Shareholders lose money. How can such an obviously rigged and manipulated price be permitted to continue? The answer is that the US political and financial system is engulfed with corruption and criminality. The Federal Reserve’s policy of rigging bond and gold prices and providing liquidity for stock market speculation has damaged the US economy and tens of millions of US citizens in order to protect four mega-banks from their mistakes and crimes. This private use of public policy is unprecedented in history. Those responsible should be arrested and put on trial and they should simultaneously be sued for damages.

US authorities use the Plunge Protection Team, the Exchange Stabilization Fund, currency swaps, Federal Reserve policy, and purchases of S&P futures to support an artificial exchange value of the dollar and to provide the liquidity needed to support stock and bond prices, with the latter so artificially high that savers receive negative real interest rates on their saving.

The authorities have created a financial system totally out of sync with reality. When the authorities can no longer keep the house of cards standing, the collapse will be extreme.

It is a testament to the complicity of economists, the incompetence of financial media, and the corruption of public authorities and private institutions that this house of cards was constructed. The executives of the handful of mega-banks that caused the problem are the people who are running the US Treasury, the New York Fed, and the US financial regulatory agencies. They are using their control over public policy to protect themselves and their institutions from their own reckless behavior. The price for this protection is being paid by the economy and ordinary Americans – and that price is rising.

The latest orchestrated takedown of the gold price is related to two events (see the graphs below). One is that the Federal Reserve decided to boost the upward spike in the dollar’s exchange rate from the Fed’s announcement of the end of Quantitative Easing (QE). The Fed’s announcement of the end of dollar creation in order to support bond prices lessened the rising anxiety in the world about the US dollar’s value when the supply of new dollars continued to increase faster than the US output of goods and services. The Fed reinforced the boost that its announcement gave to the dollar by having its bullion bank agents drive down the gold price with naked short-selling.

Naked short selling was also used to offset the effect on the gold price by the Bank of Japan’s surprise announcement on October 31 of a massive new program of QE. Apparently, the Bank of Japan either has been pressured by Washington to inflate Japan’s currency in order to support the dollar’s value or is applying a policy based on the Keynesian Phillips Curve that 2-3% inflation stimulates economic growth. Japan has been in the economic doldrums for a long time and is now reduced to pre-Reagan “snake oil” prescriptions in a desperate attempt to revive its economy.

Japan’s announcement of infinite money creation should have caused the price of gold to rise. To prevent a rise, at 3:00 AM US Eastern Time, during one of the least active trading periods for gold futures, the electronic futures market (Globex) was hit with a sale of 25 tonnes of uncovered Comex paper gold contracts, which dropped the gold price $20 dollars. No legitimate seller would destroy his own capital by selling a position in this way.

The gold price stabilized and moved higher, but at 8 AM US Eastern Time, and 20 minutes prior to the opening of the New York futures market (Comex), another 38 tonnes of uncovered paper gold futures were sold. The only possible purpose of such a sale is to drive down the price of gold. Again, no legitimate investor would unload a huge amount of his holdings in this way, thereby wiping out his own wealth.

Allegedly, the United States is the home of scientific economics with the predominance of winners of the Nobel Prize in economics. Despite these high qualifications, the price of gold, silver, equities, and bonds that are set in the US bear no relationship to economic reality, and American economists do not notice.

The divergence of markets from economic reality disturbs neither public policymakers nor economists, who promote the interests of the government and its allied interest groups. The result is an economy that is a house of cards.

US tourist wearing Star of David attacked in Germany

An American tourist was robbed and called a “Jewish bastard” by youths after he asked them for directions in the Cologne train station.

Police are seeking witnesses to the incident, which took place at approximately 11:30 p.m. Saturday.

On the same weekend in Cologne, Germany’s fourth-largest city, some 5,000 people reportedly participated in a major anti-Muslim demonstration, mostly of soccer hooligans, under the motto “Hooligans against Salafists.” Violence erupted during the demonstration, with 49 police officers slightly injured and property damage of about $25,000.

In the incident involving the tourist, the unnamed 37-year-old said he was rushing to catch a train and asked a group of youths for directions to the proper track, according to local reports.

Instead of assisting him, the youths — described as having shaved heads and wearing black, red and white T-shirts — pushed him to the ground and robbed him. Upon spying his Star of David pendant, they then called him a “Jewish bastard” before fleeing with his wallet and travel documents.

The victim reportedly was able to catch his train and reported the incident to police after arriving at his destination.

In a statement issued Tuesday, Cologne lawmaker Volker Beck, Green Party representative to the Bundestag, said “nothing justifies anti-Semitic violence, whether in word or deed.” He and Hans Schwanitz, co-chair of the Green Party council in Cologne, expressed their “full solidarity with the victim.”

At the anti-Muslim demonstration, the protesters included right-wing extremists, with some wearing black T-shirts featuring the slogan “HoGeSa,” which stands for Hooligans against Salafists, in red and white — resembling the description of the attackers in the anti-Semitic incident, Die Welt reported.

Police have confirmed that the organizers of an anti-Salafist demonstration scheduled for Nov. 15 in Berlin have registered at least 10,000 participants, according to Die Welt, but doubted that so many would turn up.
