Egyptian Resurrection Right On Cue

Entering its 17th day of protests, the religious epicenter of the world starts it Osirian (Phoenix?) transformation -

Egypt's President Hosni Mubarak is to step down tonight, two sources have told NBC News, losing his 30-year grip on power after 17 days of mass uprisings across the country.


NBC's Richard Engel reported that a high-ranking source inside the president's office said the newly appointed vice president, Omar Suleiman, would take over. This was confirmed by a second source.

State television reported that country's supreme military council had expressed its "support of the legitimate demands" of the protesters after an all-day meeting. The latest developments came on the heels of repeated warnings by members of the regime of a military crackdown or coup.

Some pro-democracy protesters reacted cautiously to the reports Mubarak was leaving, saying they would only believe them if and when he announced his departure on television.

President Barack Obama on Thursday said the United States would do all it can to support an orderly transition to democracy in Egypt.

"We are witnessing history unfold," Obama said.

The Real Effect
History indeed. It is very telling that there is a revolt in Egypt of all places. With the Coptic Christian murders on the 1st (New Year) precluding this seeming evolution of this country, one doesn't have to think very hard to see some parallels to some sort of magical thinking here.

Now of course the difficult part of any sort of numerological thinking is the definitions. When did the riots officially start, when did they officially end? All of this in some ways becomes purely speculative because we do not know the conditions that are required to fulfill this type of doctrine. A religious moving of the goal posts if you will.

However, with dead Christians in the wings, the Egyptian army firing on its people and the Pharaoh seemingly stepping down, people need to take notice because this could get ugly fast. Keep your eyes peeled for the Neo-Prince of Peace. He could very well make an appearance in this situation.

Korean War Update

There hasn't been much said about the Korean conflict as of late, so here's an update -

Military talks aimed at easing high tensions between North and South Korea collapsed Wednesday when the North's delegation walked out, Seoul's defence ministry said.

It was the first cross-border dialogue since the North's deadly shelling of a South Korean island on November 23, which briefly sparked fears of war.

A ministry spokesman told AFP the North's negotiators crossed the borderline 10 minutes after walking out of the meeting. "They even failed to discuss when to meet again," he said.

"Under the current situation, we can say the talks have collapsed."

 And the reason why the North refuses to talk -

The South insisted that the proposed high-level military talks discuss both the warship sinking and the shelling. It stressed that better relations would come only after the North apologises and punishes those responsible for them, a defence ministry statement said.

The Real Effect
As I stated in my predictions for 2011 -

North Korea/South Korea trade volleys, but do NOT go to war. I don't believe this particular feud is at a fever pitch quite yet.

Everywhere in the world, one can observe the chess pieces moving into place. To be sure, it will take some time to get there, but eventually we will have a checkmate.

US Backing of Egypt VP Exposes Hypocrisy's Hand in Regime Change?

U.S. Coming for Your Assets?

I don't know about the validity to this claim but it warrants examination -

According to in-house memos now circulating, the DHS has issued orders to banks across America which announce to them that "under the Patriot Act" the DHS has the absolute right to seize, without any warrant whatsoever, any and all customer bank accounts, to make "periodic and unannounced" visits to any bank to open and inspect the contents of "selected safe deposit boxes."

Further, the DHS "shall, at the discretion of the agent supervising the search, remove, photograph or seize as evidence" any of the following items "bar gold, gold coins, firearms of any kind unless manufactured prior to 1878, documents such as passports or foreign bank account records, pornography or any material that, in the opinion of the agent, shall be deemed of to be of a contraband nature."

Contraband eh? Sounded more and more like East Germany every day.

If people have their emergency money in a safe deposit box or an account in a bank that closes, they will not be allowed into the bank to get it out. They can knock on the door and beg to get in but the sheriff’s department or whoever is handling the closure will simply say “no” because they are just following orders.

The Real Effect

What's that you say? Sheriff's are 'following orders'? Given by who? That's right, the Feds think they own everything and that your local representative works for them. Of course, this is no surprise for long time readers of the blog -

The long and short is they are bleeding the real assets out of the United States and passing them into foreign control. Make no mistake, they will bleed this country dry. Savings, checkings, 401K, gold, assets, they want it all and will not stop until they get it.

I fully suspect that the DHS will deny this report, yet a denial does not establish a fact. My suspicion is that there is a degree of truth to this, but some of it is being circulated to flush out those that would betray the power structure when they choose to make their exit.

Look for more stories of betrayal and deception to come pouring out of the system as the Globalists' helpers begin to realize that they too are in the jaws of doom. I would suspect that many of them will switch sides if for no other reason then self-preservation.

Marc Faber: "Bernanke Should Resign"

Israel Probing Lebanon's Borders

As previously indicated, Israel is at the forefront of the probable third world war -

Israeli forces patrolled the border on Sunday, carrying out maintenance work at several positions from which they monitor Lebanon, reported pan-Arabic newspaper Asharq al-Awsat.

On one occasion, a three-vehicle patrol spent more than half an hour watching Lebanese farmers at the southern village of Abbasiyyeh.

The developments came following the January 12 collapse of outgoing Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri's cabinet and amid efforts by new Lebanese Premier-designate Najib Mikati aimed at forming a new government.

Tel Aviv has launched several wars on Lebanon, killing around 1,200 Lebanese -- mostly civilians -- in the most recent round of offensives in 2006.

The Real Effect
While this particular report may not amount to much at the moment, some very interesting positions are coming out of the woodwork now with Jordan's government is in shambles,  Israel decrying the resistance against Mubarak and being frightened of further political ramifications.

The global script is being furthered about radical elements of Muslimanity getting control of more areas of the world as we, the Great United States, try desperately to spread Dehm-ok-racy! to the world.

Meanwhile in reality, Iraq, Afghanistan and parts of Pakistan have been bombed repeatedly in the name of freedom. Yet, conflict rages for the Palestinians and few seem to be able to grasp the complexities of the situation. Let's examine it all for a moment.

• Christendom as represented by the United States and most of Europe appears to hold that life is more sacred if it's beliefs are the same as yours.
• Muslims have, to a degree, been the victim of subvert and overt campaigns for decades to install Western approved leaders. (Who said that this cannot happen in the United States?)
• Countries are failing to respect state sovereignty.
• Because, in part, of the previous two examples, normal Muslims are now outwardly supporting militant arms of terrorist organizations in an attempt to reduce the influence of the first point.

In order that the issues be solved, each individual issue must be examined by the interested parties and a solution agreed to. We must not resort to more of this CIA black-op induced insanity in which the very premise of freedom is constantly subverted in the name of democracy.

News Analysis-Egypt Uprising-01-29-2011- (Part 1)

Breaking Wind a Crime? A Free Man Driving - A Comparison of Two Ethos

For your consideration, the law that would make an inescapable human function a crime -

Breaking wind is set to be made a crime in an African country.

The government of Malawi plan to punish persistent offenders 'who foul the air' in a bid to 'mould responsible and disciplined citizens.'

The crime will be enforceable in a new 'Local Court' system which will also have powers to punish a range of other crimes in the bill set to be debated in the country's parliament.

 A crime eh? A crime... Just because a given action is desirable should not dictate that the antithesis is a crime. Yet this is exactly what passes for thinking in today's day and age. You cannot legislate perfect people, the National Socialists tried this and look where that got them.

Now, let's take the opposite end of the equation from Georgia -

A state lawmaker from Marietta is sponsoring a bill that seeks to do away with Georgia driver's licenses.State Rep. Bobby Franklin, R-Marietta, has filed House Bill 7, calling it the "Right to Travel Act."In his bill, Franklin states, "Free people have a common law and constitutional right to travel on the roads and highways that are provided by their government for that purpose. Licensing of drivers cannot be required of free people, because taking on the restrictions of a license requires the surrender of an inalienable right."Franklin told CBS Atlanta News that driver's licenses are a throw back to oppressive times. “Agents of the state demanding your papers," he said. "We’re getting that way here.”

EXACTLY!

The concepts of "papers please" and freedom are mutually exclusive. At this point we are merely negotiating the level of tyranny we would endure. The article continues with the expected "blood in the streets" talk that is expected out of those that have yet to examine the issue, in truth -

CBS Atlanta's Rebekka Schramm asked Franklin, “How are we going to keep up with who’s who and who’s on the roads and who’s not supposed to be on the roads?”“That’s a great question," Franklin said. "And I would have to answer that with a question, ‘Why do you need to know who’s who?’”“What about 12-14-year-olds who want to drive? What would stop them?" Schramm asked.“Well, what’s stopping them now anyway?” Franklin answered

Right on again. The law merely provides a tool, to prosecute those who have violated the law. They do NOT prevent individuals from committing these acts, it only provides an incentive not to commit them. An incentive that individuals have to voluntarily submit to.

The law in Malawi will not stop people from warming the environment, it will merely allow for the prosecution of those who do around others. Ergo, it will not achieve what the lawmakers intend it to.

The situation in Georgia would permit a greater degree of freedom and since less resources would be spent on compliance and waste, so by definition more resources would be available for production thereby making its inhabitants wealthier.

This is the key to pulling this country out of this Depression!

IMF Riots take Hold

With Iceland, Greece, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and other countries going before them Iraq, Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, Yemen, Albania and Egypt take a stab at rioting -

The Egyptian dissident Mohamed ElBaradei warned President Hosni Mubarak today that his regime is on its last legs, as tens of thousands of people prepared to take to the streets for a fourth day of anti-government protests.

The Nobel peace prize winner's comments to the Guardian represented his strongest intervention against the country's authoritarian government since he announced his intention to return to Egypt to join the protests. "I'm sending a message to the Guardian and to the world that Egypt is being isolated by a regime on its last legs," he said.

His words marked an escalation of the language he used on arrival in Cairo last night, when he merely urged the Mubarak government to "listen to the people" and not to use violence.

The Real Effect

Of course, how far behind is Japan or the United States for that matter? If the Suez Canal gets shut down, commodity costs, especially oil will probably explode as the vital shipping channel stops traffic.

As I stated back in May of 2010 -

There is a fundamental change in the way the middle-class and below of the world view the world. An "enlightenment" if you will. Here is the crux of the problem though. The globalists understood that the sheep would wake up, in fact they anticipated and planned for it by naming it the IMF riot. The relevant question is, who can outflank who here? Will the people get to the globalists before they are able to pull the trigger on the full police state?

In the Religious War Series, I outlined the sides that would start moving. Notice the following countries listed -

Side 2: Muslim/Communist -

• Russia
• Asia (Afghanistan, Pakistan, South Ossetia)
• Mideast (Iraq, Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Gaza)
• African Union (Yemen, Niger, Ethiopia, Somalia, Mauritania, Mali, Algeria)

Side 3: Indo-China

• China
• North Korea

The Muslims are sure getting whipped into a frenzy. Gee, I wonder who's doing the driving? I expect that it will emerge that the U.S. is behind this via some alphabet soup agency. It appears that side 2 and 3 are getting goaded, one of the questions becomes when is side 1 (The Christians) going to receive the same treatment?

I believe that is being positioned for possibly late 2011, probably mid-to late 2012. (As stated in 2011 predictions)

With much of the fallout from "The Currency War" devastating the global economies, the action leaves the banks and hits the courts eventually ending on the battlefield. (More towards 2012)

• Worldwide, America is blamed for the global economic fallout.  (CDS, MBS securities)
• This stokes anti-American/liberty resentment which will find a place to mature later.
  
• A world war by the end of 2012

Look for continued unrest with some governments getting overthrown. But as I indicated earlier, the globalists are literally banking on this to occur. We are still not there yet though. More riots need to take place, some shots, some new faces and then, we go to war.

Update
Wow, that certainly didn't take long. The Telegraph is reporting the following -

The American Embassy in Cairo helped a young dissident attend a US-sponsored summit for activists in New York, while working to keep his identity secret from Egyptian state police.

On his return to Cairo in December 2008, the activist told US diplomats that an alliance of opposition groups had drawn up a plan to overthrow President Hosni Mubarak and install a democratic government in 2011.

Show of hands, who thinks that the Arabs will like that we're actively messing around in their countries? Anyone, anyone?!?

Government Moves to Ban Just About Everything

Our noble leaders, upon surmising the giant hole that is the budget, look to us, the peons to fill that hole -

After targeting distracted drivers, some New York lawmakers want to go after distracted walkers. They are looking to ban them from using iPods, music players and cell phones while walking and crossing the street.

Oh no, distracted walkers! The humanity!!! Cue the sob story about some ignoramus that got killed - 

At E.A.T. restaurant on Madison Avenue they still haven’t gotten over the death of co-worker Jason King, killed last month when a truck hit him as he crossed the street while listening to his iPod. 

Jason was just 21 and his death and along with other accidents involving people using electronic gadgets while walking is why Brooklyn Sen. Karl Kruger is looking to ban things like cell phones and iPods for pedestrians crossing the street.

“We have people who are literally dying in the street,” Kruger said.

(What about natural selection?)

The Real Effect
This insanity will stop when We the People want it to stop. We must elect legislators that will NOT do the following:

1. Legislate to fill the coffers.
2. Legislate to pacify a powerful base. Generally for re-election.
3. Grandstand to create a legacy for themselves.

Instead we need more of the following.

1. Individuals that will remove the obstacles to our liberty and economic prosperity.
2. That will tell these self-righteous bases that want special rights for their groups to shut their pie-holes.
3. Less crimes, less crimes, less crimes. 

Think about it. Then if your tempted to squawk, shut your pie-hole and think some more.

Watch Housing Bubble Insanity Set To Cool Jazz

Police, Respect Your Oaths, Protect the People

As we enter deeper and deeper into the chaos side of Ordo Ab Chao, I present the following group of articles to explain the rough game plan of what is happening at this time. First we examine the so-called "War on Cops" -

In just 24 hours, at least 11 cops were shot around the country.

The most recent incident at a fugitive's house in St. Petersburg, Fla., left two officers dead and a U.S. marshal wounded Monday. Hours earlier, an Oregon officer was critically wounded after being shot multiple times during a traffic stop. 

 "It's not a fluke," Richard Roberts, a spokesman for the International Union of Police Associations, told MSNBC.com. "There's a perception among officers in the field that there’s a war on cops going on."

What the police need to realize here, is that it is not a war on any one specific sub-group, but as the abortion statistics, police violence and ongoing wars will attest there is a war going on against all humanity. Further segregating yourselves as some sort of special overlord class will not help your case as Vox and Denninger have both pointed out.

Perhaps an example will illustrate -

Chris Drew, a Chicago artist, was arrested in December of 2009 for selling art on the streets without a peddler’s license and for recording his encounter with the police. He faces 15 years in prison because he didn’t get permission from the cops. Drew used an audio recorder during his arrest and now faces eavesdropping charges, a class 1 felony.

“That’s one step below attempted murder,” he told the Chicago News Cooperative.

For videotaping an encounter with a police officer, 15 years in the slammer, and a felony?! Good luck trying to get a gun after that, or a job for that matter. Police, you're behavior is backing the populace into the corner. You claim to have surveillance rights over us, you even go so far as to assert assassination rights, yet the same standard applied to you yields a "War on Cops". Nice.

But we're not done yet, because cops, I know you're being goaded. It's your job to resist that pressure before the next phase enters the picture -

Environmentalists are promoting a new historical hero in the fight against global warming, none other than Mongol warlord Genghis Khan, with the Carnegie Institution touting the emperor’s green credentials because his empire slaughtered no less than 40 million people – an act that helped lower carbon emissions and keep the planet cool.

“We found that during the short events such as the Black Death and the Ming Dynasty collapse, the forest re-growth wasn’t enough to overcome the emissions from decaying material in the soil,” explained Julia Pongratz, who headed the Carnegie Institution research project. “But during the longer-lasting ones like the Mongol invasion… there was enough time for the forests to re-grow and absorb significant amounts of carbon.”

Using the “knowledge we have gained from the past” in studying the positive impact of Khan’s role in slaughtering 40 million people in cold blood, Pongratz says the research will be utilized to “make land-use decisions that will diminish our impact on climate and the carbon cycle.”

“We cannot ignore the knowledge we have gained,” she added, clearly entertaining the arcane and barbaric notion that massive programs of bloody depopulation should have any place in 21st century thinking.

There is no need to spell this out. History is replete with this sort of data and anyone with half a brain and a search engine can figure out how this story ends.

Year End Review Part 2

Without further delay, part 2 -


401K Collapse
Real Effect -

Banks will start to claim ownership of 401k and pension funds (private and public) and begin "looting" them. (Read as taking your cash and continue to "invest" as they double-double down) and the government moves to “protect” them by seizing them. I would assume they would be placed in a new 'secure conservatorship'.

Evidence -

• Banks will start to claim ownership of 401k
• and pension funds (private 
• and public) Achieved in Review I

While it is possible to make an argument that on paper the institutions are not seizing assets outright, they are defacto taking control of these assets via their insolvency. However, to argue that they have been seized completely is another matter entirely. 

Points (2 of 3)

Annuities Collapse
Real Effect -

Annuities will begin to default and the state insurance funds will become a backer of last resort, which will bankrupt many of them. Many if not most insurance companies will go belly up. This will cause the rates at the surviving institutions to go through the roof.

Evidence - 
Nope, big miss on this one.


Points (0 of 1)

Municipalities Collapse
Real Effect - Unfortunately, I didn't specify much beyond the title.

Evidence - Achieved in Review I

Points (1 of 1)

FDIC
Real Effect -

As companies take these blows, the FDIC will frantically try to raise capital to cover the losses but will eventually be unable to cover and the first wave of defaults will take place.

Evidence - 
Boy this is a tough one to call. The FDIC did raise a lot of capital this year, yet the losses slowed down somewhat. What did happen was QE. Alas, we will rate this 0.


Points (0 of 1)

Bond Market Collapse
Real Effect -

Within the next 2 years, the United States will default on their debt for the first time in their history. This will cause not only domestic, but major international geopolitical issues as well.

Evidence - I would argue that the US is in a state of technical default seeing as the only way to sell their debt is through the Federal Reserve and POMO manipulation.


Points (1 of 2 - Pending 1)

Tax Protests
Real Effect -

If the institutions don't have to pay their bills, why should I? This could get very ugly.
Receipts will plummet and to cover governments will begin the implementation of new taxes, most notably a VAT AND a National Sales Tax in one name/form or another.

There will begin a reduction and repeal of some Social Programs - most notably Medicare, Social Security and reductions in food stamps.

Evidence -
Achieved in Review I

Points (3 of 3)

Dollar Collapse
Real Effect -

This will be the pivotal event that if it occurs, will destroy much of the wealth that the people of this nation possesses.

Evidence -

The story of October was the massive currency wars waged, with China and Russia taking aggressive stances to dump the dollar. To hold that it has collapsed would be premature, but it is possible to argue that it is collapsing. Half point.


Points (.5 of 1 - Pending 1)


Total Points for Part 2:  ( 7.5 of 12 with 1.5 outstanding - 63%)

Total Points for Parts 1 & 2:  ( 12.5 of 18 with 6 outstanding - 70%) 


Impressions -
Wow, 2010 was a hard year to call. It was akin to trying to guess exactly when a teetering object will fall off a ledge when there is an independent entity intervening at random points. Indeed, it could be argued that some of the biggest stories of 2010 were the interventions of the Fed not only into the stock, but also the bond markets as well. 


While the interventions made calling the top difficult, they only further ensured a larger drop to the bottom when its time comes.
