Countdown To Jade Helm 15 Begins

Tons of dead sardine off the Mexican coast puzzle scientists

In yet another dead fish mystery along the North American West Coast several tons of dead fish wash up along the coast of Chiapas, Mexico
Tapachula, Chiapas - thousands of dead fish were found on the coast of Chiapas so authorities deployed an operation to remove them.

Staff from the Fourteenth Naval District in this city yesterday removed several tons of sardines, sources of that institution.

With boats, shovels on the edge of the coast, Semar elements involved in the work to remove the dead animals.

"It's pure sardine that is dying," said Gabriel Sanchez, a fisherman from Puerto Chiapas.
No authority has informed the possible cause of the fish kill, although unofficial sources indicated that it could be red tide.

Further north in Alaska whale deaths in Gulf of Alaska puzzle scientists
ANCHORAGE, Alaska – More dead whales have been found in the Gulf of Alaska following the sightings of nine fin whale carcasses in late May and early June.

The Alaska Dispatch News reports that fishermen, pilots and survey crews have reported five additional dead whales over the past several weeks, including four humpbacks and one fin whale. University of Alaska Fairbanks marine mammal specialist Kate Wynne says one theory is that the whales died from a toxin related to warmth-induced algae blooms in the Gulf of Alaska waters.

But she says scientists have tested a sample taken from the partially decomposed carcass of a dead fin whale and it did not contain the algae-produced toxin domoic acid.
Other results are still pending.

Netanyahu says Iran nuclear deal 'a bad mistake of historic proportions'

"Iran will get a jackpot, a cash bonanza of hundreds of billions of dollars, which will enable it to continue to pursue its aggression and terror in the region and in the world," the premier said.

The Iran nuclear accordhammered out in Vienna between the world powers and Tehran is a “historic mistake” for the world, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Tuesday.

Netanyahu's comments came at the start of a meeting with visiting Dutch Foreign Minister Bert Koenders.

Netanyahu, who said that he would relate to the details of the accord at a latter time, said that it is the result of wanting to reach an agreement “at any price.”

 

The prime minister said that the powers negotiating with Iran – the US, Russia, China, France, Britain and Germany – made far reaching concessions on the areas meant to prevent Iran from ever being able to obtain nuclear arms.

In addition, he said, Iran will receive “hundreds of billions of dollars” with which it will be able to fuel its terrorist activities and aggression in the region and around the world.

 

“It is impossible to prevent an agreement when the negotiators are willing to make more and more concessions to those who chant ‘Death to America’ even during the negotiations,” he said.

Netanyahu said that because the government knew that the desire to reach an agreement was greater than anything else, it never committed itself to prevent the accord. “We did commit ourselves to preventing Iran from arming with nuclear weapons, and in my eyes that commitment still stands,” he said.

The prime minister, coming under withering criticism from the opposition for what is being termed a colossal failure on his part to stop the agreement, called for Israel's political leaders to put party politics aside and unite around a most fateful issue for Israel's future and security.

Jade Helm Death Squads Inserted Into American Communities: Is It Just a Drill?

Our worst fears about Jade Helm are beginning to be realized. Back in March of 2015, many of us in the alternative media saw the inherent danger in the unconstitutional military drill called “Jade Helm 15″. Now we see that our concerns were well-founded as the more draconian parts of this drill are beginning to take shape. This article explores one aspect of Jade Helm, namely, the use of covert death squads connected to this drill.

Lord Monckton Speaks Out About Global Governance

Lord Christopher Monckton is not a stranger to the establishment of a tyrannical global government. It is Monckton’s belief that world government will be formally rolled out under the guise of saving the environment.

Monckton has been outspoken about how global governance has been secretly thrust upon humanity in this bold move of seizing absolute power through obtaining all wealth for a very small minority of men in the name of preserving the planet under the fiction we call man-made climate change.

Lord Monckton acknowledges that his views sound extreme to the uniformed, but UN documents (e.g. Agenda 21) makes it clear that mankind is at the precipice of the implementation of a tyrannical and dictatorial global government.

In a similar vein, Pastor Lindsay Williams has recently stated that the Pope is going to call for world governance, in order to save the planet from the so-called ravages of climate change. Williams has announced that this proclamation will take place at the Pope’s address to the United Nations on September 25, 2015.

If Monckton and Williams are correct, then Jade Helm being rolled out on to American streets, in advance of these proclamations, brings on special significance.

A Frightening Public Service Announcement In Midland, Texas

Do you remember this Marlon Brock photo, previously published on The Common Sense Show? This is from the Midland, TX. Walmart where they are hauling away the old to make way for the new. Who are they making room for?

Marlon Brock of Big Spring, TX., who demonstrated, through his photos published on The Common Sense Show, that Walmart was changing its ventilation system and was hauling away all shelving in the store which was allegedly closed to repair just the plumbing in bathrooms.

Yesterday afternoon, Marlon sent me the following email:

Dave,

The local news talk am radio station announced yesterday (Friday) that beginning next week there will be 60 to 65 JH 15 soldiers in Martin County (Stanton Texas) involved in the JH 15 exercise.  They also stated that many of them will be in uniform and carrying weapons so “don’t be alarmed.”  

They also stated that a number (unknown) will be “undercover.”

The people out here are brain dead and care less about what is going on right in front of their eyes.  I have been watching the Midland Wal Mart and they have completely re-done the road in front of it as well as the parking lot.  I have not seen any evidence that the plumbing was ever repaired.

I will send you photos of the JH 15 soldiers and the Wal Mart next week when I hunt down the martial law soldiers.  Marlon 

Our profound thanks goes out to Marlon Brock for being a watchman on the tower of freedom. I want to call specific attention to the phrase, “They also stated (the local media) that a number (unknown) will be “undercover”. This is what special operations forces do. By stealth, they sneak into an anticipated war zone and kidnap or assassinate high priority targets (i.e. this is what Steve Quayle has called the “red list” for over 2 decades).

My summary conclusion regarding the entire and nefarious public service announcement in Midland is bolstered by previous announcements by Jade Helm officials in earlier media accounts.

Death Squads Are Being Inserted Into American Communities

A Houston Chronicle report stated that Jade Helm soldiers will blend in with the local populations in an effort to test the effectiveness of infiltration techniques. Residents will be encouraged and commanded to report anything they deem suspicious during the Jade Helm drill.

I had previously taken this information to my sources and they confirmed that the Houston Chronicle Report is referring to the insertion of simulated death squads into selected American communities. This is the reason that Jade Helm is encouraging local citizens to report “suspicious activities”. This is a beta test for this operation. From an operational perspective, the fewer the number of the citizen reports the authorities receive, the more effective the intended stealth of the death squads would be judged to be. As opposed to more “traditional” military units, the Special Forces, associated with Jade Helm, would be the ones to carry out death squad executions of intended dissident target groups. In other words, this is how the Red List executions will be carried out. The more covert that their presence in a community would be, the less likely their intended targets would be spooked and make a run for safety. Fleeing individuals targeted for assassination is the reason why certain communities must be isolated so that intended targets cannot travel to congregate with fellow dissidents or to be able to escape final justice.

In addition to my military sources insight on this issue, more confirmation for the use of death squads on American soil comes from my friend and colleague, Roger Brown. Roger has written extensively on the subject of American death squads and has presented this information on The Common Sense Show. That interview can be accessed here. Roger’s written assessment of death squads in America can be found here.

Marlon Brock’s observations has much basis in fact. I wish it was a simple that we only had to worry about Jade Helm death squads. As I did the research for this article, it took a dramatic right turn.

A Remote Russian Spetznaz Facility In Bado, Missouri

Two days ago, I reported that the Russians were training with Jade Helm personnel and this was the reason that the military placed a ban on embedded media coverage in the Jade Helm drills. Even Drudge got into the act. This was a very disturbing event. Then, things went from bad to worse as I received the following email.

Hello Dave,

I had queried John Moore here in Missouri about the validity of Russian Spetznaz being trained and deployed throughout the United States.  John confirmed that there are, indeed, thousands of Spetznaz here in the US, and proceeded to tell me about a compound that was established as a drug and alcohol rehab on a 102 acre farm in a remote part of the Ozarks, specifically in Bado, Missouri.  

John also went on to talk about the experience that CSM Dan Page had when he was training with the Spetznaz in Bosnia  during the 1990’s. The Sergeant Major said that part of the exercise in Bosnia was to go from house to house, disarming the populace, which is pretty much standard operating procedure anymore.  Interestingly, however, CSM Page said that when the Russians would have too much to drink, they would start letting out the real purpose behind their being in Bosnia, which was to serve as a training ground for the disarmament and takeover of America at some later date.

Here is an article on this rehab in Bado:

John Addyson

The “John Moore” being referenced here is former Green Beret and current talk show host, John Moore. John and I have appeared on many talk shows together and yes, John Addyson is correct that John Moore has first hand knowledge about Russian Spetznaz training on American soil. John Moore once told me that two teams of eight Spetznaz could take down an entire power grid the size of the city of Phoenix (four million people).

In the related article about the “fake” Russian alcohol rehab facility, the article states the following:

“New Life (rehab facility), whose roots are in Russia, has operated from Bado for about three years. Its existence is tucked away in the Ozarks hills and down a narrow country road off Highway M: A 102-acre farm built into the hills far away from the bigger towns of Houston and Cabool. Few know it exists”.

Conclusion

Why is Russian involvement in Jade Helm significant? Because they will no hesitation to kill Americans in the death squad executions, political dissident extractions and gun confiscations that are coming.

Ask yourself, what good does it do for a nobody to know that a rehab facility exists? How would they ever get clients/patients? That is the point, there is another purpose. What are the Russians really doing here? Why are the involved in Jade Helm? And more importantly, why is their participation being covered up?

Is “Hell on Earth” about to visit our shores?

Lord Monckton and Pastor Williams are warning against the roll out of global governance in the next several weeks. It is beginning to look more and more like Jade Helm will be the American-based enforcement arm of the conversion of America to Amerika.

New NSA Products Coming to a Home Near You

Joseph Herrin




NSA Logo Parody

NSA: National Security Agency
NSA Alternate Acronym: Nothing Secure Anymore

I am not an anarchist, nor am I a rebel. I do not advocate armed resistance against the governments of the world, nor am I a proponent of political activism. Although I often write posts on the actions of the governments of the world, particularly of my home nation the United States, my purpose in doing so has nothing to do with inciting people to engage in actions against the government. Aside from such efforts being vain (for nothing in the political realm is as it seems on the surface), the Christian should see himself as an alien and a stranger in this world, avoiding becoming entangled with worldly affairs which distract from the labors of the kingdom of God.

II Timothy 2:3-4
Suffer hardship with me, as a good soldier of Christ Yahshua. No soldier in active service entangles himself in the affairs of everyday life, so that he may please the one who enlisted him as a soldier.

II Corinthians 10:3-5
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ...

John 18:36
Yahshua answered, "My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, then My servants would be fighting, that I might not be delivered up to the Jews; but as it is, My kingdom is not of this realm."

My purpose in writing on the affairs and actions of governments is to promote wisdom and understanding among the people of God. It is to peel away layers of deception that the saints in Christ might walk wisely, with their eyes opened to the reality of the world in which they live. The Son of God spoke the following words to His disciples.

Matthew 10:16-17
“Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; therefore be shrewd as serpents, and innocent as doves. Beware of men...”

There is no virtue in ignorance. Indeed being misinformed, or deluded regarding the state of this world, can result in much harm to the people of God. The world around us is a very deceptive place. Many Christians are living in a land of illusion, oblivious to the true nature of this dark and evil world. This post is offered to make the reader aware of some developments in the societies in which we live which will undoubtedly affect them going forward.





I have noted a number of new products being released recently that serve a purpose which is hidden from the consumer. These are spy products. They give the government a means to enter into people’s homes, observe all that is done, record every word, giving the global masters insight into the very thoughts which are in an individual’s mind. One remarkable product marketed by Amazon, the world’s largest internet retailer, is Echo. To understand the capabilities of Echo, I am providing the following video.

https://youtu.be/KkOCeAtKHIc



Twenty seconds into the video, the young girl and her father have the following conversation.

Daughter: “Is it on?”
Father: “It is always on.”
Daughter: “Can it hear me right now?”
Father: “No. It only hears you when you use the wake word we chose. Alexa.”

When the wife speaks in an overly loud voice to the device, the husband says, “You don’t actually have to yell at it. It uses far-field technology so it can hear you from anywhere in the room.”





Far Field Voice Technology

Always be heard
Tucked under Echo’s light ring is an array of seven microphones. These sensors use beam-forming technology to hear you from any direction. With enhanced noise cancellation, Echo can hear you ask a question even while it’s playing music.

The dialogue of the Amazon video is disingenuous. When the daughter asks her father, “Can it hear me now,” the answer she receives is not technically correct. In order for Echo/Alexa to know when its wake word has been spoken, it has to be listening all the time. Echo responds only after its wake word has been heard, but it is listening constantly. Since Echo requires a constant internet connection to operate, it is able to transmit what it hears continuously.

With the far-field voice technology, likely developed by DARPA, Echo is able to eavesdrop on every word spoken by every person within its range of hearing. For those unfamiliar with the term, DARPA is the U.S. Defense Department’s research arm. It is tasked with developing a wide range of technologies the government may use for both military and non-military purposes, including spying on its citizens. It is not mere speculation that the technology used in Echo has come from the Defense Department. When Apple released its intelligent assistant for the iPhone, known as SIRI, it was revealed that the technology came from DARPA.

Don't let her dulcet voice and easygoing, eager-to-please manner fool you. Behind Siri, the voice-controlled personal assistant app destined to power Apple's iPhone 4S, lies the heart of a hardened combat veteran. That's because the technology was spun out of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the Pentagon's high-tech research and development arm.

While Siri was developed as cognitive software with artificial intelligence baked into its code—designed to learn from experience and respond to ever-changing threats on the battle field - iPhone users will find more prosaic uses for it as a hands-free replacement for the touch screen...

Over the last half century, DARPA technology has led to predator drones, night vision goggles, GPS, and even the Internet. It's invested heavily in telesurgery, exoskeletons that function like wearable robots, landmine detection (including one technique that relies on honeybees), a flying car, handheld speech translation, and biosensors, as well the usual deadly array of guns, bombs, stealth planes and missiles.
[Source: http://www.fastcompany.com/1785221/siri-ously-darpa]

The same people who developed the Predator and Reaper Drones capable of firing missiles at human targets, developed the technology behind SIRI and Echo. There is a unified purpose between both the deadly drones and these computer technologies. It is to monitor, identify, and eliminate threats. One can easily envision the technologies being used together. Did you note that DARPA also developed the technology that led to the Internet? The Internet serves a fundamental and irreplaceable function for the masters of the military-industrial complex. It is a treasure trove of data, revealing a wide array of information about the people, companies, and organizations who use it.

Hollywood has given us hints of what the powers-that-be are up to. In the movie Captain America - The Winter Soldier it is revealed that the government is identifying human targets that pose a threat to their power. The plan is to eliminate these threats BEFORE they commit a crime, or some actionable offense against the government. The Internet has been used to gather information on all people, and a special algorithm has been developed to analyze the information to identify threats.

https://youtu.be/oIl4eP0DaJk

In the narrative for this movie, the following section describes an encounter where Agent Sitwell reveals to Captain America the nature of the software program that analyzes all the collected data on the Internet to identify threats to SHIELD/HYDRA.

“Zola’s algorithm is a program for choosing Insight’s targets,” Sitwell spit out...
“What kind of targets”? Cap asked.
“You!” Sitwell yelled, waving his hand, “A T.V. anchor in Cairo, the Under-Secretary of Defense, a high-school valedictorian in Iowa City..., anyone who’s a threat t Hydra. Now, or in the future...”
Cap glanced at me, his forehead creasing, “How could it know?”
“How could it not? The 21st century is a digital book! Zola taught Hydra how to read it. Your bank records, medical histories, voting patterns, e-mails, phone calls, your... SAT scores! Zola’s algorithm evaluates people’s past to predict their future.”
“And what then?” Natasha tried to clarify...
“What then!” Cap repeated forcefully.
“The the Insight helicarriers scratch people off the list,” Sitwell spit, “a few million at a time.”

Added to the list of data sources one could mention “your private conversations,” for the government has been monitoring them for years. Cell phones are one of the chief sources for this monitoring, for people tend to carry them everywhere they go. The government is able to activate the microphone in a cell phone at any time, and listen in, even when the individual is not making a call. I have mentioned this capability in the past, as well as other means by which the government spies on the public.

A Word to the Wise - Big Brother is Watching You

A Little Birdie Told Me
http://parablesblog.blogspot.com/2013/06/a-little-birdie-told-me.html





What the government is aiming for is a total surveillance state. They do not want there to ever be a time when people are not being monitored, their location and actions known. Products like Amazon Echo are advancing this total surveillance state, giving the government entrance to places people once thought was their private sanctuary (and many still do). Amazon Echo is a fantastic product. It offers a wealth of functionality for a small price. I myself would like to have many of the features that it makes available. It would be nice to say a word and play a song, start a timer, or add an item to my grocery shopping list. These “smart” capabilities come at a price, however. The price is a loss of privacy, for every word spoken in range of the Amazon Echo will be monitored.

The government and media are always playing deceptive games with people. They disclose some NSA spying program, suggesting that the government is collecting “meta-data,” but not recording actual conversations. You can be assured this is not the truth. The disclosures of government capabilities are usually twenty years old, with the current state of technology never being disclosed. In this way they shape the thoughts of the populace, steering them away from the enormous scope and capabilities of the government’s spying apparatus today.

Don’t plan to purchase the Amazon Echo? How about upgrading to Windows 10? Microsoft will be rolling out the next major release of their ubiquitous operating system on the 29th of this month. It will turn every desktop computer, laptop, tablet, and phone that it is installed on into something far more capable than Amazon Echo. Instead of Alexa, there will be Cortana. The software will use the computer’s camera to perform facial recognition and iris scanning to know precisely who is sitting in front of the computer screen. The microphone will be always on so that it can be voice operated as a person speaks the wake word “Cortana.” Listen carefully to the description of this software and its “predictive” capabilities.

https://youtu.be/qI4tj1YZbiM

“Let me tell Cortana more things about me so I can have more of that proactive interaction.”

Who are you really talking to when you share all these personal things about yourself? NSA? CIA? FEMA? DHS? FBI? The answer is, “All of the above!”




Cortana

The EYE is watching YOU!

The Windows 10 software and its capabilities are awesome. They include many features that computer users would want.

https://youtu.be/3ngnzY5xtI8



To insure as many people as possible make a quick transition to this new software, Microsoft is giving it away free. This is something they have never done before. Why would a company forego the opportunity to earn billions of dollars in revenue on software upgrades? 

Whey would they spend billions of dollars developing an operating system and then give it away free? It was reported by the Seattle Timesthat Microsoft spent $10 billion dollars developing Windows Vista which was released in 2005. 10,000 employees worked for five years developing that iteration of their operating system. Forbes reported that Microsoft would spend $1.5 to $1.8 billion just on marketing for Windows 8 when it was released in 2012. How many billions of dollars did Microsoft spend to develop Windows 10, only to offer it as a free upgrade to virtually anyone who has a computer capable of running it? I have not seen the figures, but it must be an enormous amount.

This begs the question “Why?” Why are companies like Microsoft and Amazon investing so much in these technologies and selling them so cheaply? If you understand the nature of the global corporate governmental cabal, you already know the answer. The powers-that-be control both the corporations and the government. They are pursuing the same goals. DARPA gives the technology to corporations like Apple, Amazon, Microsoft and others who implement the technology for the government. The government passes along multi-billion dollar contracts to these corporations, insuring that they don’t lose money.

A few years back I read a news article that revealed that Jeff Bezos, the CEO of Amazon, was attending CFR meetings (Council on Foreign Relations). He has been listed as an attendee of the Bilderberg meetings. The list below is from the 2013 meeting, a time when both Amazon Echo and Windows 10 were in development. You will find among the Bilderberg attendees the name Craig J. Mundie. He is listed as “Senior Advisor to the CEO, Microsoft Corporation.” His responsibilities actually go far beyond this, for he is the Chief Research and Strategy Officer for Microsoft. Where do these men get their marching orders? From the global leaders at CFR, Bilderberg, and similar groups.

http://genius.com/1837452/The-bilderberg-group-list-of-attendees-for-2013-bilderberg-group-meeting/Jeff-bezos-founder-and-ceo-amazoncom



Craig J. Mundie, Microsoft

Note that Mr. Mundie is also listed as “a member of President Obama’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology.” Equally disturbing, he has reportedly advocated that all individuals be licensed to use the Internet. Government and industry are working hand in hand.

So the next time you read about some great new product being offered, think long and hard about the repercussions of bringing it into your home and using it. “Be wise as serpents, yet harmless as doves. Beware of men!”

Legendary Giants ARE Real?

FINANCIAL TERRORISM FORCES GREEK SURRENDER! What You're NOT Hearing.

Germany Never Intended For Greece To Stay In The Euro

There never was going to be any deal.  All along, Germany has been seeking to establish conditions that would never be met so that they could force Greece out of the eurozone.  But the Germans had to do this subtly so that they would end up looking “reasonable” and would not turn the rest of the eurozone against them.  So why does Germany want to get rid of Greece?  Well, to be honest, it is because the Germans are sick and tired of paying for Greek mistakes.  In Germany, there is an obsession with having a balanced budget.  They even have a term for it – “the black zero“.  So it absolutely infuriates the Germans that the Greeks can never seem to get their act together and that German citizens have to keep paying for it.  At this point, the amount of money that Germany has already poured into Greece breaks down to more than 700 euros per citizen, and now Greece is going to need a new bailout of somewhere between 82 billion and 86 billion euros over the next three years.  Needless to say, the Germans are fed up with pouring money down a financial black hole, and they know that if they keep bailing Greece out that it is only a matter of time before they will have to bail out Italy, Spain, Portugal, France, etc.

So, no, it hasn’t been the Greeks holding up a deal all this time.

It has been the Germans.

And now that we have reached the endgame, the Germans are pushing for what they have always wanted from the very beginning…

The German government has begun preparations for Greece to be ejected from the eurozone, as the European Union faces 24 hours to rescue the single currency project from the brink of collapse.

Finance ministers failed to break the deadlock with Greece over a new bail-out package, after nine hours of acrimonious talks as creditors accused Athens of destroying their trust…

Should no deal be forthcoming, the German government has made preparations to negotiate a temporary five-year euro exit, providing Greece with humanitarian aid while it makes the transition….

The Germans are sick and tired of having the Greeks be so financially dependent on them.  So the Germans would really like to cut them off and have them go fend for themselves.

So that is why the EU laid out such draconian conditions for the Greeks over the weekend.  The following is how Zero Hedge summarized where things currently stand…

For those who missed today’s festivities in Brussels, here is the 30,000 foot summary: Europe has given Greece a “choice”: hand over sovereignty to Europe or undergo a 5 year Grexit “time out”, which is a polite euphemism for get the hell out. 

As noted earlier, here are the 12 conditions laid out as a result of the latest Eurogroup meeting, which are far more draconian than anything presented to Greece yet and which effectively require that Greece cede sovereignty to Europe, this time even without the implementation of a technocratic government.

1. Streamlining VAT
2. Broadening the tax base
3. Sustainability of pension system
4. Adopt a code of civil procedure
5. Safeguarding of legal independence for Greece ELSTAT – the statistics office
6. Full implementation of autmatic spending cuts
7. Meet bank recovery and resolution directive
8. Privatize electricity transmission grid
9. Take decisive action on non-performing loans
10. Ensure independence of privatization body TAIPED
11. De-Politicize the Greek administration
12. Return of the Troika to Athens (the paper calls them the institutions… for now)

Greece has been given until Wednesday to pass all of the legislation necessary to implement all of those conditions.

And if Greece does somehow get all that done, it still won’t get them a deal.  All it will do is allow them to come back and restart negotiations.

Needless to say, the Greeks are steaming mad at this point.  This new “deal” is being called “very bad” and “insulting” by Greek politicians.

But what they may not understand is that Germany does not actually want any deal to happen.  Instead, they are working very, very hard to get the Greeks booted out of the euro.  The following comes from the Washington Post…

The simple story is that Germany and the other hardline countries don’t trust Greece’s anti-austerity Syriza party to actually implement, well, austerity. And so rather than coughing up another 60 or 70 or 80 billion euros, they seem to want to push to kick Greece out of the common currency instead. That, at least, was the plan that leaked on Saturday. And now it’s part of the actual plan on Sunday. Indeed, it’s tentatively been included in the European finance ministers’ latest joint statement. This isn’t just what Germany is considering. It’s what Germany is trying to get the rest of Europe to go along with.

If anyone still doubts what the Germans are trying to do, here it is in black and white…

And this is not an idea that is new.  In fact, some hardliners in Germany have been pushing for a “temporary Greek exit” since at least 2012…

This weekend’s events in Europe have clarified who is really running the show across the ‘union’. Hans-Werner Sinn, Chairman of the Ifo Institute for Economic Research, vehemnt euroskeptic, and head of the so-called ‘five wise men’ advising the German government and specifically Angela Merkel, confirmed his call from 2012 for a “temporary grexit from the euro.” The right wing economist previously explained “Greece and Portugal have to become 30-40% less expensive to be competitive again. This is being attempted through excessive austerity measures within the euro zone, but it won’t work. It will drive these countries to the brink of civil war before it succeeds.Temporary exits would very quickly stabilize these countries, create new jobs and free the population from the yoke of the euro.”

The Germans absolutely hate having to open up their wallets for someone else’s mess.  And they know that if they endlessly bail out Greece that it won’t end there.  Eventually, much of the rest of the continent will come to them for bailouts too.  I think that Nigel Farage nailed it when he summed up what Germany is thinking this way…

“The German thinking is: ‘Let’s get rid of this mess,'” Farage said. Expressing what he thought Germany was thinking about other troubled peripheral euro zone economies, he added: “‘let’s send a message to Italy, France, Spain and Portugal that actually, if you’re members of this club, you got to abide by our rules.'”

But I believe that Germany is greatly, greatly underestimating the damage that a “Grexit” is going to do to Greece and to the rest of the members of the EU.

In Greece, the banking system is already on the verge of total collapse.  We are being told that capital controls will remain in place “for at least six months”, and now Greek politicians are even talking about “a possible forced ‘bail-in’ of depositors”…

Capital controls will stay in place at Greek banks for at least six months, senior officials in Athens warned yesterday, as the government fights to keep lenders afloat.

Leaders of the four main banks and finance ministry officials will meet tomorrow to discuss how to save the banking system from collapse after a run on deposits.

Options under consideration include a consolidation of four main banks down to two, creation of a “bad bank” to house toxic loans, and a possible forced “bail-in” of depositors.

Hmmm – I seem to recall someone warning about this exact scenario nearly two months ago: “Are They About To Confiscate Money From Bank Accounts In Greece Just Like They Did In Cyprus?”

The economic depression in Greece is about to accelerate.  But things are also going to get hairy for the rest of the continent as well.  As I have warned about so many times, the euro is going to plunge like a rock, European stocks are going to crater, European bond yields are going to soar, and eventually we are actually going to see “too big to fail” banks all over Europe start to fail.

This is the big flaw in the German plan.  They truly believe that they can remove the “cancer” of Greece without causing any lasting damage to the rest of the eurozone.

Sadly, they are dead wrong.
