http://www.newser.com/story/219514/zika-virus-will-spread-across-much-of-the-americas-who.html
(NEWSER) – The mosquito-borne Zika virus, believed to be causing a dangerous neurological condition in babies born to mothers who were infected with the virus while pregnant, will likely spread to almost every country in the Americas, WHO warns in a new statement. "Aedes mosquitoes—the main vector for Zika transmission—are present in all the region's countries except Canada and continental Chile," the statement reads. It goes on to explain that many people in South, Central, and North America haven't been exposed to the virus before and thus don't have immunity, so the virus is spreading quickly, CNN reports.

ROME — Iranian President Hassan Rouhani launched a European visit this week to return his country to the international community and sign lucrative business deals now that international sanctions on Iran have been lifted.
Rouhani's first stop is Italy, where he met with Pope Francis and Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi , and signed trade deals worth at least $18 billion. It is the first visit between a pope and an Iranian leader in 16 years.

Some cliff side residents in Pacifica, Calif. , are being forced to leave their homes as the ground outside their backdoors falls into the sea.
The city declared a state of emergency last week amid concerns that streets and some homes were at risk due to erosion, according to a statement.
“El Nino is hitting the city’s coastline very hard and creating almost daily reports of impacts to both public and private property,” city Manager Lorie Tinfow said in a statement.

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/christine-lagarde--recent-market-turmoil-is-manageable-160408513.html#
Stronger downside risks, including China’s change of growth model, lower commodity prices, and “asynchronous” monetary policy around the world prompted the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to lower its global growth outlook, IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde told Yahoo Finance editor-in-chief Andy Serwer at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
The IMF pared its global growth forecast to 3.4% in 2016, a decline of 0.2% from the agency’s prior estimate in October. Lagarde warned of consequences as the world faces weaker growth.
“There will be fewer jobs created around the world, and there will be countries that will struggle, particularly those suffering from the double downside risks, which is the trade relationship with China slowing down a bit and lower commodity prices,” said Lagarde. “This will affect some of the emerging market economies and low income countries that are vastly commodity export dependent.”
A collapse of the world economy wouldn't signal the end of the world. It would just mean that there would be a new world economy. What this new world economy would consist of, is the question...

Investors face a “cataclysmic year” where stock markets could fall by up to 20% and oil could slump to $16 a barrel, economists at the Royal Bank of Scotland have warned.
In a note to its clients the bank said: “Sell everything except high quality bonds. This is about return of capital, not return on capital. In a crowded hall, exit doors are small.” It said the current situation was reminiscent of 2008, when the collapse of the Lehman Brothers investment bank led to the global financial crisis. This time China could be the crisis point.
Oil prices have also fallen sharply on fears of lower demand and a supply glut, especially with Iran due to start exporting once more when sanctions are lifted. Tensions between Iran and Saudia Arabia make it less likely that Opec can agree to cut production to halt the slide in prices. Brent crude is down another 1% at $31.18, its lowest level since April 2004.
CLEARLY....THERE IS AN OIL/ENERGY CRISIS WORLDWIDE.

The turmoil rocking global markets in the new year looked likely to continue Thursday, after trading in China was halted today following another huge stock plunge.
The halt was the second this week for China's stock market as worries continued over its economy -- the second biggest behind the U.S. -- and North Korea's reported hydrogen bomb test.
Chinese stock exchanges closed early Thursday after the CSI 300 Index dropped more than 7%. The slide came after China's central bank lowered the yuan's daily reference rate by the most since last summer.The news out of North Korea rattled investors around the globe. The latest geopolitical flare-up in an increasingly volatile world prompted investors to sell stocks and reduce risk."We are just three days into the year and already global event risk is dominating the financial market landscape everywhere," David Rosenberg, chief economist and stratetist at Gluskin Sheff said in a research note.

Current Events-Chinese vessels
What particularly caused concern about the behavior of the Chinese vessels was, firstly, the fact that they came within 12 nautical miles of the United States coast.
Pentagon officials indeed confirmed that five Chinese navy ships had passed through United States territorial waters as they transited the Aleutian Islands. And this has unquestionably generated headlines in many quarters. But it is important to emphasize that the ships had also completely complied with international law.
Nonetheless, analysts are assessing this incident as a significant chapter in the ongoing diplomatic, economic and covert military battle between the United States and China. The Chinese authorities have long objected to the United States transiting vessels in its territorial waters, or indeed operating in international waters just outside the limits of China. In this context, this latest incident could be seen as very much a retaliatory effort from the Chinese.
Certainly there has been no effort to deny the incident on the behalf of the Chinese authorities. The Chinese defense ministry has confirmed that navy ships had sailed to the Bering Sea for training after joint exercises with Russia, but that the activity was completely routine and certainly not aimed at any particular nation.

Yes. A major US newspaper with writers who graduated from top-notch schools misspell CASH. Instead, they put CRASH.
The announcement was made after the close of Chinese and other Asian markets, which were volatile Tuesday as Chinese stocks plunged again and Tokyo markets also fell sharply after earlier rebounding.

So we find ourselves in the midst of a semi-stock market crash precipitated by moves the Chinese are making, namely, the devaluation of the Yuan.
It has become obviously clear that the US and China are clearly pegged together, at least for the time being, and what happens to China happens in the US and the rest of the world.
The chinese have manipulated their currency, and as a result, the following has occurred:

Current Events-The Markets
NEW YORK —Stocks plunged at the open as the market bloodbath showed no signs of letting up with the Dow tumbling as much as 1,089 points in the opening minutes of trading.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index plunged 4.4% as the broad-based index joined the Dow in correction territory, a drop of 10% or more from its recent high. The Nasdaq composite index dropped 5% and also fell into a correction.
Market anxiety is on the rise after a big sell-off in China overnight, where the Shanghai composite index shed 8.5%, its biggest one-day decline since 2007 — and Chinese media were dubbing the selloff "Black Monday." The global stock rout then moved to Europe where major indexes there are off roughly 5%.
It goes to show....that China is indeed in control.

BEIJING — Wall Street followed global markets lower Monday with the Dow plunging as much as 1,089 points at the open as China's slowing economy rattled investors from Shanghai toFrankfurt .
The sell-off Monday began once again in China as the Shanghai composite index fell over 8.5% to 3,209.91.

What’s bad for China is bad for the U.S.
China’s plunging stock market is ricocheting around the globe and dragging down U.S. markets, raising awareness of how the world’s two largest economies are profoundly interconnected despite political consternation over trade competition between the two nations.
The futures market indicates that the Dow could drop more than 500 points when trading opens this morning. That comes after China’s Shanghai composite index posted its biggest one-day drop since 2007, falling 8.5% Monday.

Current Events-What is China doing??
Excerpt starting @9:12...Schiff breaks down the dilemma.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfxR0vhu0kY
"Everybody is focused on the de-valuation, which is tiny. TWO or THREE percent. The PRinciple here is what's important. CHina said they do not want to be pegged to the dollar but to 'kinda reflect fundamentals'. Everybody forgets the Dollar has risen over 30% against a basket of currencies over the past couple years. Since the chinese currency is tied to dollars, it TOO rose. However, when the dollar collapses, China will not "fantasy fog lift" it by suppressing the value of the Yuan by purchasing US securities any further, China is not gonna be there to catch us this time.

Current Events-September 2015
September 2015 is a month where several events (a mix of secular and spiritual) take place. With the exception of #13(just plain goofy...open sesame, anthony patch, cern?) these events by themselves warrant careful observation. How much more so collectively?

Current Events-September 2015
http://www.infowars.com/the-russian-media-is-talking-about-what-is-coming-in-september/
Interesting article from an alternative media news source about events set to happen in September. My guess is that the mainstream media isn't reporting on it yet because it's still a month away but surely to do so when the time nears....
First of all, the most important template for global governance that the United Nations has ever dreamed up is going to be launched at a major conference from September 25th to September 27th. The launching of this “new universal agenda” is such an important event that the Pope is going to be traveling to New York City to give the address that will kick off this conference. This new plan is known as “the 2030 Agenda“, and it is being called “Agenda 21 on steroids”. This is one of the most significant steps toward global government in the history of the world, and yet the mainstream media in the United States is saying virtually nothing about it.
Secondly, we also know that a major push for the establishment of a Palestinian state is being planned for September. It has been widely reported by the international media that France plans to submit a UN Security Council resolution which would formally recognize a Palestinian state for the first time ever. This is one of the most critical moments in the modern history of the Middle East.
In September we also have the end of the Shemitah year, the fourth blood moon, and the end of the Jade Helm exercises. All over the Internet there is rampant speculation about a major stock market crash, devastating natural disasters and the weird “coincidences”.

Stocks fell at the opening bell Tuesday as investors react to an earnings miss from retail giant Walmart(WMT) and another bout of turbulence in China's equity market.
Also weighing on sentiment was a 6.2% drop suffered by China's Shanghai composite index, a volatile index that fell more than 8.5% in a single day a few weeks ago. "Chinese stocks are down today following concerns that the Chinese authorities may be less supportive of share prices," Barclays told clients in an early-morning research note.
Keep an eye on the Chinese market, government, etc.

BEIJING — China'sShanghai composite index plunged more than 6% Tuesday and other Asian markets also declined as investors appeared to show a delayed reaction to news that China's market regulator would allow market forces to play a greater role in determining stock prices.

BEIJING — China's
The mainland China stock benchmark's 6.2% drop to 3,748.16 was its biggest decline in three weeks. The index fell 8.5% in late July as worries about China's ability to maintain high economic growth levels undermined investor confidence.
Last week, Chinese stocks sold off following a dramatic devaluation of its yuan currency that led to the nation's central bank injecting cash into the financial system.
Analysts said the immediate cause of Tuesday's sharp sell-off was a delayed reaction to a Friday statement by China's market regulator.
