With the Western World and China in danger of going into deflation, major banks have already started to charge negative interest rates. Denmark’s central bank was a pioneer when it first cut its deposit rate below zero in 2012, and the trend has now spread to the eurozone and Japan. The Danish deposit rate now stands at minus 0.65 per cent. - Financial Times

Sweden has followed suit. The USA is set to follow. Major Bankers are calling for an abolition of money. It may be the only fix left, now that quantitative easing is failing. But no one is going to put their money in banks! Not if it means negative interest rates. Don't worry. Governments will rise to the occasion and soon will be making cash illegal. People will be forced to put their money in banks or the market, thus rescuing the central governments and the central banks that are incestuously intertwined with them.

Beyond that, cash is probably the last arena of personal autonomy left. It can be spent anyway one pleases, with no one watching. It can be hidden from the government to avoid taxes. It can be used to engage in transactions of a semi-legal nature. It has power that the government cannot control; and that is why it has to go.

The end result will be the loss of all autonomy. This will be the darkest of all tyrannies. From cradle to grave one will not only be tracked in location, but on purchases. Liberty will be non-existent.

However, it will be sold to us as an expedient and simplicity itself, freeing us from crime: Fascism with a friendly face. The real purpose of a cashless society will be total control: Absolute Total Control.

Perhaps the scariest consequence of all is that an individual can be "terminated" by a bureaucrat erasing his identity. Do not kid yourself, it will happen. Real "Mark of the Beast" stuff.

Rev 13:16-17 ‘And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark ...’ (Rev 13:16-17). I do not know if we are there yet; but if recent headlines are a clue, we may be very close.

"Major central banks have run out of ammo," says Ed Yardeni, chief investment strategist at Yardeni Research. Central bankers are trying to stabilize their economies and currencies as they navigate through the volatility of the global slowdown, market meltdowns and investors pulling cash out.

But many admit they don't know what to do next. "The world is an uncertain place, and all monetary policymakers can really be sure of is that what will happen is often different from what we currently expect," Stanley Fischer, the Number 2 at the US Federal Reserve, said in a recent speech. Fischer and other central bank leaders are arguably running out of new tools to turn things around.

President Obama’s statements on global warming are “dead wrong,” said Nobel laureate Ivar Giaever, who rejected the president’s claims that man-made global warming is causing climate change. “I think Obama is a clever person, but he gets bad advice. Global warming is all wet,” Giaever said in a speech entitled Global Warming Revisited he gave on July 1 to scientists from 90 countries attending the 65th annual Nobel Laureate Meeting in Lindau, Germany.

Giaever, who was born in Norway and became a naturalized US citizen in 1964, was one of three recipients of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1973. Although he endorsed Obama in 2008 along with more than 70 other Nobel-winning scientists, Giaever is now criticizing the president’s statements on climate change — particularly his 2015 State of the Union remark that “no challenge poses a greater threat to future generations than climate change.”

“The biggest problem Obama faces is climate change? How can he say that?” Giaever asked. “I say this to Obama: ‘Excuse me, Mr President, but you’re wrong.’ He is dead wrong… the facts are that in the last 100 years we have measured the temperature, it has gone up 0.8 degrees and everything in the world has gotten better... We live better, we have better work, better health, better everything - but if we go [up] another 0.8 degrees, we’re gonna die, I guess,” he said sarcastically.

The Siddur Lev Shalem is “both more traditional and contemporary” in several ways, senior editor Rabbi Ed Feld told The Jerusalem Post on Tuesday. He explained how it contains both the traditional Hebrew texts of prayers, as well as an updated translation in the modern vernacular and prayers tailored to fit life cycle events experienced by contemporary Jews.

Alongside a transliteration for those who do not speak Hebrew and a detailed commentary citing the meanings and origins of the various parts of the prayer service, Feld said that he and his collaborators sought to introduce an English translation that is both “more contemporary in its language and gender neutral.” The traditional siddur text is written in the masculine form.

In a statement announcing the siddur, Feld explained, “You can’t describe God as ‘awesome’ anymore; language and the way we use language changes, so each generation needs its own translation. This is the siddur for today’s prayers.”

• 84% of all Americans believe political leaders are more interested in protecting their power and privilege than doing what is right

• 80% believe the federal government is its own special interest primarily looking out for itself

• 78% believe that the Democratic and Republican Parties are essentially useless in changing anything, because both political parties are too beholden to special interests to create any meaningful change

• 76% of Americans agree with the statement that America cannot succeed unless we take on and defeat the corruption and crony capitalism in our government

• 74% see the biased and slanted coverage of the media as part of the problem

• 71% believe our government is not only dysfunctional, it is collapsing right before our eyes

• 70% believe the government in Washington does not govern with the consent of the people

• The majority – 56% – say they wish there were a third party with a chance of success to fight for their interests

• Only 15% say the “values and principals of my political party are so important that I strongly prefer to vote for the candidates of my party…”

Real change is what that the establishment fears most and fights hardest against. It is ultimately a losing battle. This, in fact, is a revolution.

Now top central bankers from Germany and France have called for even closer integration of eurozone economies in a bid to ward off the collapse of the European Monetary Union (EMU) and called for the formation of a Eurozone treasury. More of the bloc's financial policies should be dictated by Brussels, according to France's newly-appointed Francois Villeroy de Galhau and Germany's Jens Weidmann.

They wrote: "While monetary policy has delivered a lot of support for the euro-area economy, it cannot bring about long-lasting economic growth. More integration appears to be the most straightforward solution to restore confidence in the euro area." The bankers today said the survival of the single currency relies on the 19 member countries more closely integrating their economies and letting more decisions be made at a European level.

This would stop financial trouble from one country infecting others, and fix inherent flaws in the euro currency, in the opinion of the Mr Villeroy de Galhau and Mr Weidman. The pair tabled the idea of a European finance ministry and fiscal council to undertake more of the decisions that are made on a country-by-country basis.

And the policymakers urged more cross-border shareholding in companies, which they said would spread the burden of downturns, with losses from a troubled company then shared by investors in different countries. In a joint editorial, the two bankers also called for a further-reaching system of Europe-wide banking regulation and oversight.

Few have been spared. The share price of Barclays, BNP Paribas and Unicredit all slid around 5 percent, those of Deutsche Bank fell 10 percent, and the value of Greece’s three largest banks all slumped nearly 30 percent – from not very much to even less.

After the markets closed on Monday, Deutsche Bank took the unusual step of saying it had enough money to pay the coupons on some of its debt that are due in April. The German lender was essentially trying to convince the market that it isn’t facing a liquidity squeeze. On Tuesday John Cryan, Deutsche Bank’s chief executive, said his firm was "rock-solid", while Wolfgang Schaeuble – the German finance minister – told an audience in Paris that he has "no concerns about Deutsche Bank".

But if you’re explaining, you’re losing. Their comments haven’t stopped the cost of insuring European bank bonds from spiking. Lenders are also charging far more on the loans that they make to each other. And while these horribly familiar indicators of stress have not yet hit 2008 levels, the spirit of Lehman Brothers is looming over the market turmoil like Banquo’s ghost. Are investors right to be worried or have they “eaten on the insane root that takes the reason prisoner”?

On Wednesday, Attorney General Loretta Lynch announced at the United Nations that her office would be working in several American cities to form what she called the Strong Cities Network (SCN), a law enforcement initiative that would encompass the globe. This amounts to nothing less than the overriding of American laws, up to and including the United States Constitution, in favor of United Nations laws that would henceforth be implemented in the United States itself – without any consultation with Congress at all.

The United Nations is a sharia-compliant world body, and Obama, speaking there just days ago, insisted that “violent extremism” is not exclusive to Islam (which it is). Obama is redefining jihad terror to include everyone but the jihadists. So will the UN, driven largely by the sharia-enforcing Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and the pro-Islamic post-American President Obama, use a “global police force” to crush counter-jihad forces?

After all, with Obama knowingly aiding al-Qaeda forces in Syria, how likely is it that he will use his “global police force” against actual Islamic jihadists? I suspect that instead, this global police force will be used to impose the blasphemy laws under the sharia (Islamic law), and to silence all criticism of Islam for the President who proclaimed that “the future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.” What is a global police force doing in our cities? This is exactly the abdication of American sovereignty that I warned about in my book, The Post-American Presidency: The Obama Administration’s War on America.

The Obama Department of Justice made it clear that it was exactly that when it distributed a press release last week announcing the “Launch of Strong Cities Network to Strengthen Community Resilience Against Violent Extremism.” In that press release, the DoJ complained that “while many cities and local authorities are developing innovative responses to address this challenge, no systematic efforts are in place to share experiences, pool resources and build a community of cities to inspire local action on a global scale.”

Saudi Arabia, Turkey and other Sunni nations had hoped to turn Syria into a Sunni nation, and for years they have been funding and arming ISIS and other Sunni insurgent groups in an attempt to overthrow the Assad regime. Initially the Assad regime was losing quite a bit of ground, but the tide turned once the Syrians invited the Russians and the Iranians to help them.

Of course the Iranians have their own long-term goals. Once Assad leaves power, the Iranians hope to turn Syria into a truly Shiite nation that is run and dominated by Hezbollah. At this moment, the Sunnis and losing and the Shiites are winning. Relentless Russian airstrikes have enabled Syrian, Iranian and Hezbollah ground forces to advance, and now they have surrounded Aleppo. Before the war Aleppo was the largest city in Syria, and if it falls, the war will be very close to over.

Thousands of refugees are currently flooding out of Aleppo as the Russians bombard the surrounding area continually. There is little hope that the Sunni forces that once were so optimistic about overthrowing Assad can hold out much longer without help. As the situation becomes increasingly desperate, Saudi Arabia and Turkey are now considering what was once unthinkable – a full-blown ground invasion of Syria.

Of course this could very well set off World War III in the Middle East, but Saudi Arabia and Turkey have already invested so much in this conflict, and they don’t appear to be willing to throw up their hands and walk away now. Our world is becoming increasingly unstable, and Syria has become a crucible for rising global tensions that could explode at any moment.

Proposals to ban cash payments of more than €5,000 (£3,860) to combat money laundering and the financing of terrorism were revealed by the German finance ministry last week. They face opposition from a broad alliance of political parties as well as the country’s bestselling newspaper. The Bild published an open letter on Monday entitled “hands off our cash”, which, in keeping with the analogue theme, it encourages readers to sign, cut out and post to the finance minister, Wolfgang Schäuble.

Political groups ranging from the Green party to the liberal Free Democrats to rightwing Alternative für Deutschland have condemned the proposed measures, which also include a ban on €500 notes, as an attack on data protection and privacy.

This definition of theory as something subject to disproof or challenge is deeply and honourably rooted in scientific tradition - in the practice of testing explanations by discovery or experiment. "Theory and experiment", the 18th Century chemist Joseph Priestley wrote, "go hand in hand". And Darwin in his Origin of Species wrote that new discoveries could "annihilate my theory".

Scientists are proud of the principle that their beliefs can be tested and challenged, not accepted as a matter of faith - that in the words of Darwin's champion TH Huxley, a beautiful hypothesis can be slain by an "ugly fact". But when opponents interpret this to mean evolution - or at least Darwin's doctrine of natural selection - is just one competing opinion, his supporters deny this.

Some theories, scientific bodies say, are "the foundations of human understanding of nature" and "based on a body of facts that have been repeatedly confirmed through observation and experiment". But Richard Dawkins points out that scientists themselves use the word with different meanings. "Trying to clear up this terminological point about the meaning of 'theory' is a losing battle," he says. He says we should call evolution a "fact" because, he says, "the evidence for evolution is so strong that to withhold assent would be perverse".

1."Risen" arrives in theaters February 18th. A Roman centurion (Joseph Fiennes) on the order of Pontius Pilate is told to investigate the disappearance of Jesus' body. His search leads him across Jerusalem, meeting Christ's disciples along the way. Shown incontrovertible proof that Jesus is the Messiah, the centurion has a personal crisis as to how his life has been led up to that point. "We can only hope Risen delivers the adventure its narrative deserves," Duncan says.

2. "The Young Messiah" opens wide on March 11th. This feature offers a rare glimpse into Christ's childhood, which is somewhat under-represented in Biblical scripture. "The Young Messiah" hopes to answer the question - When did Jesus know he was God? The film is a fictional story of Jesus as a seven-year-old. "Taking creative license with scripture is always a touchy subject for Christian viewers, but 'The Young Messiah' could prove to be the exception," Duncan says.

3. "Miracles from Heaven," in theaters March 18th, is a true story of a family torn apart by their 12-year-old daughter's rare illness. Putting their faith in God, the family is blessed with a miracle. "A feel-good movie for the whole family, 'Miracles of Heaven' intends to remind viewers that all things are possible in Christ," Duncan says.

4. The sequel to the breakout Christian film, "God's Not Dead," "God's Not Dead 2" arrives April 1st. A public school teacher, played by Melissa Joan Hart, gets into trouble for quoting the Bible in class. The situation spirals out of control as those around her turn the incident into a battleground for religious freedom.

5. Finally, "Silence," which has no specific release date for the coming year. Director Martin Scorsese adapts the novel by Shusaku Endo, about a group of 17th century Jesuit priests intending to evangelize Japan. Acting heavyweights Liam Neeson and Adam Driver star, and further details about the film remain a highly kept secret.

Much like Zika virus, dengue fever is a viral illness spread by mosquitoes. While it is not endemic to Hawaii, the state does have the mosquito species capable of transmitting the disease. As of Monday, the Hawaii Department of Health had confirmed 251 cases of dengue on the Big Island, including 227 infected Hawaii Island residents and 24 visitors. Symptoms include fever, rash, joint or muscle pain, headache, or pain behind the eyes.

Though often debilitating, the symptoms can be effectively managed if recognized and treated. The virus, nicknamed "breakbone fever," can develop into a more severe form called dengue hemorrhagic fever that can be fatal if left untreated.

According to Thebigriddle.com: Nagalase is a protein that’s also created by all cancer cells. This protein is also found in very high concentrations in autistic children. And they’re PUTTING it in our vaccines!!This prevents the body from utilizing the Vitamin D necessary to fight cancer and prevent autism. Nagalese disables the immune system. It’s also known to cause Type 2 Diabetes.

So basically… they weren’t killing these doctors because they had found the cure to cancer or were successfully treating autism… they’re killing them because these doctors had been researching and had the evidence that the vaccines they’re injecting our precious children with are CAUSING our current cancer and autism crisis!! And that it’s obviously being done knowingly and on purpose! The doctors they killed in Florida had been collaborating and were getting ready to go public with the information.

Depopulation 101… add poison to vaccines… make it law that all children must be injected to attend school. Slow kill methods. They think they’re being fair with their “survival of the fittest” type mentality. Only the best genes survive? These people have no souls.
