The Corporate Bank Run Has Started: Siemens Pulls €500 Million From A French Bank, Redeposits Direct With ECB

Don’t blink.

By the way, why is no one talking about Germany being stuck with the ECB anyway?

For those of you who don’t know the history, here is the simple version. Germany used to be in two parts: East and West. When the Cold War ended, Germany wanted to reunite. But, the low countries, France and Great Britain would only allow this to happen on one big condition: the new Germany would have to allow its Deutschmark currency to become part of the market basket that would form the foundation of the new Euro.

So, if the Euro goes away – and the Deutschmark comes back – does Germany need to partition itself again? Or was that always an empty promise?

A Message From Occupied Wall Street (Day Four) | OccupyWallSt.org

You know, I’d be happy to jump in on this if anyone wants to buy me a plane ticket to NYC.

This is the fourth communiqué from the 99 percent. We are occupying Wall Street.

On September 20th, 2011, we were awoken by police bullhorns around seven in the morning, they objected to us protecting ourselves from the rain. They told us that the tarps suspended above us had to be taken down. We held a General Assembly to determine how to respond. We decided that we would hold the tarps over ourselves and our possessions. The police ripped the plastic away from us. We then scrambled to protect our possessions, primarily the media equipment streaming our occupation to the world. The police were also mostly interested in our cameras, it seems like they don’t want you watching us.

I Feel Bad for You

Because you’ve never heard of the Kleptones until now.

 

The Kleptones @ Mama’s Pride Festival 2011 from The Kleptones on Vimeo.

Honestly, I haven’t been this excited about an artist… IN LIKE EFFING FOREVER.

You know when you just get bored with the music scene, because you’ve heard everything, and nothing new sounds good? I’d compare it to when I first started hearing Portishead’s Dummy singles. One time in particular, I remember flying home from Boston for Christmas break freshman year; my special lady friend picked me up at LAX. It was on KROQ as we left the airport.

5 Crew + 2 Birds = Area 52?

I get a shrug every time I ask anyone who might have an interesting answer to this question: “Why is there so much numeric symbolism in the visual imagery of the USAF (especially “black” projects)?”

This photograph clearly depicts five crew members and two vehicles, possible a coded boast they are at Area 52 of the Groom Lake facility in Nevada. It seems a little far-fetched until you see some of the insignia made visible by FOIA requests.

In fact, it’s public knowledge that OXCART did operate out of Area 51.
