China is bidding to enter the heart of global finance by establishing its currency, the renminbi, as part of an ubiquitous monetary unit used in official transactions around the world.

The issue of whether the Chinese should be part of the International Monetary Fund's Special Drawing Right, the composite reserve currency used in official financing, is highly technocratic, but the political questions at stake go to the core of world money and power – and will be discussed, in the background, at the annual meetings of the IMF and World Bank in Washington this week.

http://www.infowars.com/during-an-ebola-pandemic-all-of-your-rights-would-essentially-be-meaningless/

If there is a major Ebola pandemic in America, all of the liberties and the freedoms that you currently enjoy would be gone.  If government officials believe that you have the virus, federal law allows them to round you up and detain you “for such time and in such manner as may be reasonably necessary.”  In addition, the CDC already has the authority to quarantine healthy Americans if they reasonably believe that they may become sick.  During an outbreak, the government can force you to remain isolated in your own home, or the government may forcibly take you to a treatment facility, a tent city, a sports stadium, an old military base or a camp.  You would not have any choice in the matter.  And you would be forced to endure any medical procedure mandated by the government.  That includes shots, vaccines and the drawing of blood.  During such a scenario, you can scream about your “rights” all that you want, but it won’t do any good.

In case you are tempted to think that I am making this up, I want you to read what federal law actually says.  The following is 42 U.S.C. 264(d).  I have added bold for emphasis…
(1) Regulations prescribed under this section may provide for the apprehension and examination of any individual reasonably believed to be infected with a communicable disease in a qualifying stage and (A) to be moving or about to move from a State to another State; or (B) to be a probable source of infection to individuals who, while infected with such disease in a qualifying stage, will be moving from a State to another State. Such regulations may provide that if upon examination any such individual is found to be infected, he may be detained for such time and in such manner as may be reasonably necessary. For purposes of this subsection, the term “State” includes, in addition to the several States, only the District of Columbia.

The first uch downing in DECADES...This may be a sign that if the US can attack Russia's allies....then Russia can attack the United States' allies.

A defense official identified the downed aircraft as a Sukhoi Su-24 Russian fighter plane. Previously, it was reported to have been a MiG aircraft. He said the Syrian jet penetrated 2,600 feet into Israeli air space and tried to return to Syria after the Patriot missile was fired.

An image from a French military video shows the destruction of a munitions and fuel depot captured by Islamic State militants on Sept. 19 in Iraq. An airstrike by French fighter jets destroyed the logistics depot that was overrun and captured by the militants.

It will be interesting to see how Big Vlad and Iran will react to this....

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nA39iVSo7XE

Question

"So our National Defense, in terms of stopping ISIL...depends upon whether or not we can convince the Arab world to go in there and defeat these guys?"

Answer

"It really comes down to building coalition...so that what the Arab-Muslim world sees is THEM(disdainfully) rejecting ISIL.

So it appears that taking down "ISIL" (which now appears to be a bogus fabrication in order to advance a certan agenda I can only speculate on) isn't the goal. The goal is to fabricate an entity that comes across as radical so that Arabs/Muslims can reject it.

Question

"They already reject ISIL. Do you know of any major Arab ally that embraces ISIL?"

Answer

"I know of major Arab allies that FUND them."

Question

"Ye, but do they embrace them?"

Senator, does funding an entity not signify an embracing thereof?

Then the Senator actually tries to JUSTIFY the actions of those funding ISIS!! What a joke.

Can you imagine if such a pandemic WERE to spread? I saw a video of a man in Liberia, who was apparently infected by the disease being ostracized by the people. Men in space suits tried to corral the poor guy and then finally seized him.

My question is....how do we know who has contracted a disease if there are no visible symptoms? Next thing you know, you get one case of "Ebola" in the US and that gives the govt permission to start "seizing" people because they are suspected of having the virus.

WASHINGTON -- The United States will impose a new round of sanctions on Russia on Friday, joining the European Union in ramping up pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin over the Russian presence in Ukraine.

President Obama said the broadened sanctions will target Russia's financial, energy, and defense sectors.

"These measures will increase Russia's political isolation as well as the economic costs to Russia, especially in areas of importance to President Putin and those close to him," Obama said in a statement released by the White House Press Office. "As I said last week, if Russia fully implements its commitments, these sanctions can be rolled back. If, instead, Russia continues its aggressive actions and violations of international law, the costs will continue to rise."

Not sure how credible Obama thinks his threats are...but the US is not in a position to keep bullying others.

Russia is spending money as if a nuclear confrontation with the U.S. is a very real possibility.  In fact, Russian President Vladimir Putin has committed to a “weapons modernization program” that is going to cost the equivalent of 540 billion dollars
Putin said Russia’s weapons modernization program for 2016-2025 should focus on building a new array of offensive weapons to provide a “guaranteed nuclear deterrent;” re-arming strategic and long-range aviation; creating an aerospace defense system and developing high-precision conventional weapons.

The world is allowing the Ebola outbreak to spin out of control, according to a leading humanitarian group helping to treat patients in West Africa.

In a separate speech, the USA's top public health official also called on global leaders to do far more to control the Ebola outbreak that has now spread to five countries.

"I could not possibly overstate the need for an emergency response," said Thomas Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, who just returned from visiting Ebola treatment centers in West Africa. "There is a window of opportunity to tamp this down, but that window is closing. ... We need action now."

"The world can confront this scourge, and ultimately defeat it. ISIS is odious, but not omnipotent." Kerry wrote, referring to the militant group by its former name, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria.

This is certainly a "sudden", out of nowhere "scourge" that the media seems to be recognizing more and more everyday. Why? 

Current Events-Babylonian affairs

Over the last two years, the U.S. has had a spike in expatriations. With global tax reporting and FATCA, the list of  individuals who renounced is up. For 2013, there was a 221% increase, with record numbers of Americans renouncing. The Treasury Department is required to publish a quarterly list, but these numbers are under-stated, some say considerably.

The presence or absence of tax motivation is no longer relevant, but that could change. After Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin departed for Singapore, Senators Chuck Schumer and Bob Casey introduced a bill to double the exit tax to 30% for anyone leaving the U.S. for tax reasons.

To leave America, you generally must prove 5 years of U.S. tax compliance. If you have a net worth greater than $2 million or average annual net income tax for the 5 previous years of $157,000 or more for 2014 (that’s tax, not income), you pay an exit tax. It is a capital gain tax as if you sold your property when you left. At least there’s an exemption of $680,000 for 2014. Long-term residents giving up a Green Card can be required to pay the tax too.

Now, the State Department interim rule just raised the fee for renunciation of U.S. citizenship to $2,350 from $450. Critics note that it’s more than twenty times the average level in other high-income countries. The State Department says it’s about demand on their services and all the extra workload they have to process people who are on their way out.

Apparently, dual citizens in Canada trying to shed their U.S. citizenship have created a backlog at the U.S. consulate in Toronto that stretches into the third week of January 2015. A decision to expatriate should never be taken lightly. Taxes or not, it can be a big step. And around the world, more people are talking about taking it.

BABYLON, O BABYLON! YOUR DAYS ARE NUMBERED....
