[We suspect that this announcement was made mostly for the psychological impact it is expected to have on US voters. It is intended to generate political opposition to aggressive US military moves in Ukraine, Turkey, Syria, and elsewhere. Nevertheless, it is a grim reminder that we are living in precarious times made all the worse by the fact that the character and psychological profile of world leaders are at historic lows. In other words, anything can happen beyond logic or even intent.] Next News Network 2016 Oct 3 (Story)

Pigeon arrested on espionage charges! Well, not really. India is detaining a pigeon, sent from Pakistan, that carried a threatening message to the Indian Prime Minister advising him that every child in Pakistan now is ready to fight against India, and that they are not the same people who lost the Indo-Pak War in 1971.

video-icon_4-41-22_smallAuthor, Robert David Steele, served in the Marine Corps for 20 years and was a caseworker for the CIA. In this interview, he says: “Most terrorists are false-flag terrorists or are created by our own security services. In the United States, every single terrorist incident we have had has been a false flag or has been an informant pushed on by the FBI. In fact, we now have citizens taking out restraining orders against FBI informants that are trying to incite terrorism. We’ve become a lunatic asylum.” [This is a perceptive analysis of a war on terrorism that, in reality, is a war USING terrorism for hidden agendas. The entire program is worth watching, but Steele’s statement begins at about 12:18 in Part Two.] Free Thought Project 2016 Oct 1 (Story) (Cached)

Deutsche Bank is on the precipice of collapse, and its biggest risk is $46 trillion in derivative contracts, which represents 12% of the derivatives market worldwide. If DB implodes, other banks are so closely interconnected that they, also, will be devastated. If there is a bank run, DB will have four options: sell assets to raise capital, get a short-term loan from the EU Central Bank, get a taxpayer-funded bail-out by the German government, or do a bail-in whereby the money is legally stolen from bank depositors. [The latter option would trigger bank runs and cause banks to close their doors.] ZeroHedge 2016 Oct 1 (Story) (Cached)

The International Monetary Fund added the Chinese renminbi, also known as the yuan, to its SDR (Special Drawing Rights) basket of currencies. China’s plan has been to dethrone the US dollar as the world reserve currency, and it expects to do this by replacing it with a new international currency tied to SDRs. To facilitate this, the World Bank is issuing SDR bonds, the first of which were offered in August for $3 billion. The interest on these bonds will be paid in Chinese yuan. The head of the People’s Bank of China says that the SDR has the potential to act as a world reserve currency. The US will do everything possible to thwart this plan.
