Syria: Despite a ceasefire agreement between Russia and the US, the war will continue, because the Kurds, the al-Nusra Front, and ISIS are not part of the agreement. Furthermore, cease-fire agreements easily can be broken merely by launching a false-flag attack against one’s self and then re-starting the war in the name of self-defense. It’s an old trick.

Safes are sold out in Japan. This is a reaction to negative interest rates in which Japanese banks now are charging customers for holding their money and, thereby, motivating depositors to keep their money at home. This is another reason banks are pushing toward a cashless society. If there is no currency, you cannot keep it in a safe. If all money is digital, all of it must be processed through the banks, where it will be accessible for bank service fees or as a bail-in to cover bank losses. ZeroHedge 2016 Feb 22 (Story) (Cached)

Tech guru, John McAfee, is offering to hack the terrorist’s individual phone at no charge to the government and, thereby, protect the privacy of the general public. The government has not yet responded to the offer, possibly because what it really wants is that backdoor into everyone’s phones. ABC News 2016 Feb 21 (Story)
