Europe faces a 'real threat' from Russia, warns US army commander (You have got the Russian ambassador threatening that Denmark will be a nuclear target if it participates in any missile defence programme) - April 19, 2015

(bulletinstandard) The commander of the US army in Europe has warned that Nato will have to stay united in the face of a "actual threat" from Russia. "It is not an assumption. There is a Russian threat," Lt-Gen Frederick "Ben" Hodges said. "You have got the Russian ambassador...

The commander of the US army in Europe has warned that Nato will have to stay united in the face of a "actual threat" from Russia.

"It is not an assumption. There is a Russian threat," Lt-Gen Frederick "Ben" Hodges said.

"You have got the Russian ambassador threatening that Denmark will be a nuclear target if it participates in any missile defence programme. And when you look at the unsafe way Russian aircraft are flying with no transponders in proximity to civilian aircraft, that is not experienced conduct."

Gen Hodges spoke to the Telegraph on the sidelines of a military debriefing right after an exercise to move reside Patriot missiles 750 miles across Europe by road and deploy them on the outskirts of Warsaw.

The sight of a US military convoy crossing the German-Polish border much more than 20 years after the finish of the Cold War created international headlines and brought site visitors to a standstill as people posed for selfies beside the troops.

The intention of such a hugely visible deployment was to send a signal, Gen Hodges mentioned.

"That's exactly what it was about, reassuring our allies," he stated.

Gen Hodges pointed to recent Russian choices to move Iskandar ballistic missiles to its Kaliningrad enclave, among Lithuania and Poland, and extended-variety nuclear-capable bombers to Crimea.

"I do not believe a military confrontation is inevitable. But you have to be militarily prepared in order to enable efficient diplomacy," he stated.

(Repost&Reblog) De folkevalgte politikere mister tillid og opbakning i samfundet (Vi har brug for Dukkepartiet til at angribe den politiske kultur) - 19. April 2015

Udgivet den 4. Juli 2014 af Verdensalt

Update: Gakkede partiarter - De nye partier, Alternativet, Nationalpartiet og Dukkepartiet, forsøger alle at være det »anderledes« parti, som vælgere, der føler lede ved de etablerede politikere, kan stemme på.... 

Følger Radio24Syv tykt og tyndt - eller rettere når jeg har tid til overs, tuner jeg ind. Tag f.eks. Antidemokratisk-Festival - En satirisk undersøgelse af demokratiets væsen. Selvfølgelig er det sjov og spas, men hvor demokratiske er tilstandene egentlig herhjemme? Vi har frihed til at blive hørt, vælger vores politikere fordi vi stoler på de har en holdning og værdier, som vi selv kan forholde os til. Alle har meninger omkring partierne og enkeltpersoner på borgen. Men de folkevalgte, lytter de overhoved til os? Vi er en nation som gemmer os, vi har en mening om alt nede på hjørnet ved købmanden, men har pokkers svært at stille os selv foran på Christiansborg og demonstrere, med mindre det er skolerne og børnehaverne eller efterløn, så bliver det personligt jo...

Langsom med sikkert, begynder der efterhånden at brede sig en distance og tillidsbrud til vores såkaldte demokratisk politikere og system. Vi aner ude i det fjerne, det ulmer af magtspil, hemmelighedskræmmeri og skjulte dagsordner med spindoktorenes kyndige vejledning. Det er begyndt at bundfælde i os alle - vi stoler ikke længere på nogen politikere.

8 ud af 10 danskere er utilfredse med politikernes lydhørhed. Det viser en undersøgelse fra tænketanken Cevea. 80,7 pct. af danskerne er således uenige i, at de har indflydelse på hvilke emner, der er på den politiske dagsorden. Og 75,6 pct. tilkendegiver, at politikerne ikke lytter nok til, hvad deres vælgerne mener.

Ser lidt nærmere på vores såkaldte "folkevalgte" ildsjæle som gør alt for os - eller gør de?

Borgens særlig udvalgte og deres "assistenter"

Hvis vi fokusere på Christiansborg, er politikerne død afhængige af 3 ting. Deres spindoktorer, journalisterne på borgen, samt embedsmændene. Umiddelbart kan man kun gisne, men en tendens viser sig mere og mere som en rode butik af dimissioner.

• Spindoktorene laver også rod i maskineriet en gang imellem, foranværende SFs skatteminister Holger K. Nielsen fyrede Thomas Brahm pga. øremærket barsel til mænd, Mikael Børsting stoppede hos Lars Løkke, valgte meget demonstrativt at tage på badeferie på Mallorca, da GGGI-sagen rasede på sit højeste. 
• Embedsmændene er ikke meget bedre; Nødvendige nødløgne i Christiania-sagen, hjemsendte embedsmænd - tjenstlige forhør af tre embedsmænd afsluttes GGGI. Embedsmænd "glemmer" at informere politikerne korrekt.
• Journalisterene er blevet mere aggressive og nærgående ifølge Lykketoft og andre. Politikerne er jaget vildt ifølge Søren Pind. 

Hvad er den politiske retorik?

Vi ved sikkert alle sammen, politikere bliver "omvendt" til at tale i tunger. For eksempel gør politikere ofte brug af anaforer,  der består i, at en følge af sætninger eller sætningsled begynder med samme ord, fx "Her vil ties, her vil bies". Frygt associerede ord benyttes også - 'potentiale', 'mistanke om', 'uproblematisk', 'nødt til', 'faretruende'.
Politikere bruger også andre teknikker i politisk retorik, såsom forvirring, omdirigering, forening, udeladelse, og sammensætning. Politikere manipulere deres image for at skabe en mere troværdig, retfærdig og intelligent udgave af sig selv, der er præsenteret for offentligheden.

Er helt enig med Christian Kock, professor ved institut for retorik på Københavns Universitet:
Politikere – de svarer jo ikke! "politikere skal blive bedre til at tale lige ud af posen, og skal undlade at bagatellisere borgernes kritik". Kock mener at borgerne er mere modtagelige overfor en ordentlig, plausibel forklaring end politikere har tendens til at tro. Retorikprofessoren mener, at der ikke er nogen vej udenom at tale om tingene, og at politikerne skal forklare, stille og roligt, at der grunde til at de beslutter som de gør. Og at de grunde vejer tungere end andre grunde.

Retired CIA Agent Confesses on Deathbed: “I Killed Marilyn Monroe” - April 19, 2015 CET

*************************************************************
March 25th, 2015 | by Barbara Johnson

Norfolk, Virginia| A 78-year old retired officer of the CIA, Normand Hodges, has made a series of astonishing confessions since he was admitted at the Sentara General Hospital on Monday. He claims he committed 37 assassinations for the American government between 1959 and 1972, including the actress and model, Marilyn Monroe.

Mr. Hodges, who worked for the CIA for 41 years as an operative with top-level security clearances, claims he was often employed as a hitman by the organization, to assassinate individuals who could represent a threat to the security of the country.

Trained as both a sniper and a martial arts expert, Mr Hodges says he also has significant experience with more unconventional methods of inflicting harm upon others, like poisons and explosives.

Mr. Hodges swears he remembers vividly, each of the assassinations he committed for the CIA. He claims that all 37 of the murders he committed on the American soil, were ordered by his commanding officer, Major James “Jimmy” Hayworth.

The elderly man claims he committed his assassinations between August 1959 and March 1972, at a time when he says “the CIA had its own agenda“. He says he was part of an operative cell of five members which carried out political assassinations across the country. Most of their victims were political activists, journalists and union leaders, but he also claims that he killed a few scientists and artists whose ideas represented a threat to the interests of the United States.

Beloved Ones,

Since time immemorial, each of you have visited and revisited your beautiful planet through a succession of incarnations from the world of spirit into human form.

Your hearts are entwined with that of the Earth and you seek to bring healing and restoration to her in any way that you as one individual can.

But what you may not know or be aware of is the impact your efforts make on the field of consciousness that is like a giant web, a network and reservoir of energy that has accumulated throughout the ages from the input of everyone upon the planet.

This is the pool of energy that is now being cleansed in a process which now impacts everyone but most especially those who are the energy sensitive amongst you. When you find that emotions well up from within you, be aware that it is the collective field that you are tapping into.

Send love to the Earth when this occurs, for this activity helps to dissipate the old energies that are now being released; and then gently detach from it by thinking of something beautiful that the Earth provides for all to enjoy.

Earth is being prepared for another shift as the influx of cosmic energies from the recent days take hold. More miracle occurrences of nature are being recorded and shared through the inter-connected web of activity known as the internet.

The people of Earth and the animals too, are being opened to the love from within which is their true nature. This connection is uniting everyone upon the planet into a harmonious oneness of being.

Australia's remote indigenous communities fear closure - April 19, 2015

Audio version : ( marker 79:45 ) FINAL WORDS : GUEST REPORT BY NATHAN BRAY ON AUSTRALIAN TREATMENT OF INDIGENOUS TRIBES. (cosmicvisionnews.com)

Derby Aboriginal elder Lorna Hudson was a child when government authorities in the 1960s moved her people from tiny Sunday Island off the remote north-west coast of Western Australia to the mainland.

For a time most of the Sunday Island "saltwater" people lived on a reserve in the outback town of Derby, recalls Ms Hudson.

Later many moved to the coastal community of One Arm Point, 200km north of the resort town of Broome, where they resumed traditional hunting and fishing.

Their dislocation is an experience shared by many Indigenous Australians who were forced off their land, last century, either because of changes in government policy or lack of employment.

"That's how people lost their culture," says Ms Hudson. "It put us in a different environment, away from our country."

In the wake of plans by the West Australian government to close many small indigenous communities, the people of One Arm Point and other remote indigenous communities fear history might soon be repeated.

Comments earlier this week by Prime Minister Tony Abbott that people had made a "lifestyle choice" to live in these communities have intensified local fears people will be forced out of their homes, many of which are on ancestral land.

Western Australian Premier Colin Barnett last year announced that up to 150 of the state's estimated 250 remote indigenous communities might be closed.Delia Clarke, a former resident of Oombulgurri has now moved to Wyndham

His government had accepted an offer from the federal government to assume responsibility for the communities in return for A$90m ($68m, £46m) in funding but then decided it did not have enough money to keep them all open.

The state government says many of these communities - some with as few as five people and few facilities or infrastructure - are not financially viable. It estimates that in one case it is spending A$85,000 per person per year on essential services such as power and running water.

Denne finansboss får den højeste løn i Danmark, mens en virksomhedsejer fra Seattle, dropper sin årlige 6M$ løn, for at tilgodese samme minimumløn som sine arbejdere

De får alle fede lønninger: Nordeas topchef, Christian 

Clausen (tv.), Thomas F. Borgen fra Danske Bank 

og Trygs koncernchef, Morten Hübbe, får alle tocifrede 

millionlønninger, viser en opgørelse fra Berlingske Research.

Udgivet den 19. April 2015 af Verdensalt

Der bliver givet gode lønninger i den finanssektor. Det viser en gennemgang af de danske 'penge-bossers' lønninger, som Berlingske Business har foretaget.

Selvom topcheferne i den danske finanssektor alle får millionlønninger, er der én, som skiller sig ud i flokken..... 23,5 millioner kroner inkl. bonus, optioner og pension. Så meget får Danmarks bedst lønnede finansboss, nordeas topchef, Christian Clausen, om året for at bestride sin stilling, og det er væsentligt mere, end bankbossens 'kolleger' gør, viser opgørelsen.... TV2 Finans

NBC NEWS

Alt imens, har en virksomhedsejer fra USA, Dan Price - CEO fra Gravity Payments i Seattle, tænkt ud af boksen, Dan Price reducerede sin løn med $930000 eller 6,5MDKK. Voksende indkomstulighed havde været på hans sind i månedsvis. Men da han prøvede en vandretur med en ven en eftermiddag og lyttede til hende beskrive hendes kamp med stigende husleje priser, indså han, at han måtte gøre noget for sine egne ansatte..... huffingtonpost


I USA, tjener den gennemsnitlige CEO mere end 350 gange, hvad den gennemsnitlige arbejdstager gør. 

Naturligvis kan jeg ikke sammenligne Danmark med USA, mindre private virksomheder med få ansatte og den finansielle sektor med tusindevis af ansatte og aktionærer som kræver sin del. De finansielle huse, bare for at tage et eksempel, har overskudsdeling til alle, uddeler kæmpe bonuser til især høj profillerede medarbejdere med betrodede stillinger, som ingen har ondt af. Medlemskab af bankunionen og de mange direktiver, så som den internationale Basel-aftale (Basel III), udvidet kapitalkrav og retningslinjer kræver, at der skal indkasseres rigtigt mange penge, men især til bankaktionærene og ledelsen og måske lidt for høje lønninger? Nordea kom ud af 2014 med et overskud på 32 milliarder DKK, fremgang på 5 procent. 

Men er det rimelig, at bankerne tjener på anderkendte algoritmisk handel, også kaldet automatiseret handel, black-box handel eller algo handel, High-frequency trading (HFT) systemer som de amerikanske medier er begyndt at rapporterer, alle verdens finansmarkeder er manipuleret via computere og klart baseret på calculus, financial market strategy?

Vi skal heller ikke have ondt af staten med bankpakkerne, som har været en rigtig god forretning for staten at redde bankerne under krisen. Overskuddet på de statslige bankpakker beløber sig indtil videre i 2013 op til 11,2 mia. kr. , fremgår det af et notat fra Erhvervs- og Vækstministeriet: http://www.evm.dk/aktuelt/nyheder/2013/25-01-13-okonomisk-status-for-bankpakken-og-kreditpakken

Man skal heller ikke glemme, at motivationen for Dan Price's Robin Hood værdig motiv, faktisk også ser det som en investering. I teorien vil arbejderne blive motiveret af højere lønninger i sidste ende tiltrække mere forretning og håndtere kunder bedre. "Dette er en kapitalistisk løsning på et socialt problem," siger Price. 

I Danmark har jeg ikke hørt om nogen virksomheder hvis direktører giver afkald på Deres millionlønninger, for en kort periode at overgår til mindstelønnen, som for tider er 230.000 pr. år for en fagfært.... HK.

Derimod har jeg hørt om en del virksomheder, der straffer medarbejderen med 'lønnedgang fremfor fyringsrunde'. 49% af de danske lønmodtagere mener, at deres arbejdsgivers økonomi er under midlertidigt pres, og 39% af medarbejderne er villige til at gå ned i løn for at undgå eventuelle fyringsrunder.....Randstad 

Er danske virksomheder stadig mærket efter seks års recession?

Updates from the IMF Spring Meetings

By JC Collins

During a live question and answer session at the Spring Meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank, Managing Director Christine Lagarde once again reiterated that China has formally requested the inclusion of the renminbi currency in the SDR basket composition. She also stated that Chinese efforts towards economic reforms, such as opening up capital accounts, has been supporting the case for the yuan.



The expansion of the membership list of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank and the growing framework of the Eurasian Development Bank, with probable regional currencies, is creating additional leverage on both America and the IMF to ensure that quota and governance reforms are implemented and that the yuan is included in the upcoming SDR review.

The momentum which has built up internationally surrounding the multilateral mandates can no longer be ignored by the American administration. The yuan will only require a 70% vote to be included in the SDR composition. The US veto falls short of this which means that it is all but certain that the renminbi will be added to the global reserve basket.

No longer a conspiracy theory: Wall Street investors now openly admit the "markets are all rigged" - April 19, 2015 CET

(NaturalNews) "The stock market is rigged."

That's the first line in a recent column by New York Post financial writer John Crudele. And while the tendency for many -- especially anyone who is struggling to get by -- is to instinctively believe him (using the because ALL rich people are greedy liars mentality), making such a bold claim really should require some evidence. Some proof.

Well, Crudele has provided it. And actually, the claim is nothing new; he's been making it off and on for a couple years now, and with evidence.

Still, he notes, people "scoffed." Some, he said, dismissed his claims as just another "conspiracy theory," complete with "tinfoil hats" and the like. Most, however, just ignored him and continued with the belief that a stock market in a broke country, with a broke, underemployed population, can still gain in value, based on these stark economic realities, without any monkey business.

No more, Crudele says. "The dirty secret is out."

He notes further:

With stock prices rushing far ahead of economic reality over the last six or so years, more experts in the financial markets are coming to the same conclusion -- even if they don't fully understand how it's being rigged or the consequences.

Crudele also points out that he's not the only financial markets analyst and observer who sees what's really going on. Ed Yardeni, a longtime Wall Street sage "who isn't one of the clowns of the bunch," recently said straight up that the market was being propped up.

"These markets are all rigged, and I don't say that critically. I just say that factually," he asserted on CNBC, Crudele wrote.

Government and companies themselves are likely in on it together

He added that Yardeni based his assertion thusly: The U.S. Federal Reserve will not implement any policies or plans that would upset investors on Wall Street, and the Fed is really doing everything it can to keep it humming (and growing, albeit artificially, perhaps).

Danish Conservatives campaign for elimination of ‘Nazi Islamism’ - April 19, 2015

Derfor er K-kampagnen helt rigtig - og islamismen farlig - b.dk
A controversial political campaign has recently been launched by the Conservative party in Denmark, with its leaders calling for radical Islam to be “fought and eliminated,” as it belongs to the same family as, and shares many ideas with Nazism.

Brand new political slogans and posters have started to appear in the country despite it not currently being in the throes of an election. The most controversial ones are those of the Conservative party. Its leaders Søren Pape Poulsen and former MP Naser Khader have published an opinion piece in Århus Stiftstidende newspaper, saying that “Nazi Islamism” must be “fought and eliminated”.

“Islamists are using the same argumentation for their hatred of Jews that the Nazis did in their day,” the politicians wrote, as cited by The Local. “They exterminate those people who they have labeled as subhuman. They burn books and destroy priceless cultural artifacts in the Middle East because everything foreign is considered evil. They strive after a new millennium just as the Nazis did.”

The politicians acknowledged that the 1.5-billion-strong religion is predominantly peaceful, but insisted that “there has developed a dangerous political ideology – we would almost call it a cancerous tumor – that unfortunately is dominating more and more”.

In a statement to RT, the Danish Conservative Party said: “What we are saying in our campaign is
that we want to stop this form of Islamism, a form that has many ideas in common with Nazism, and this is what we call Nazi-Islamism. It is the form of Islamism that Boko Haram and Islamic State are executing.”

While the Danish election campaign has not yet been officially initiated, these kind of statements are “a kind of an election campaign everyone can see,” Fatih Alev, chairman of the Danish Islamic center, told RT.

Wake up Call: Porda, April 18, 2015

I am here this morning to tell you of a new development in the RV and the premier funds for the people. It is a time for all of you to assure yourselves that it will be coming at a time when it is perfect for all of those who have the quality of the earth and themselves in mind. There is one feature of these funds that is endearing to all of the universe and it is that it will be in tune with what will be coming in the years ahead, and further on, that will come from the lessons that these times are giving you. There is plenty of time for them to materialize into the benefits that are in store for you. First it is imperative that the ones who will be distributing are in a place in which there will be no interference. This is that time my dear ones. This is the time that we have seen the various facets of the distribution being set into place with no possibility of interference.

There is one point that I wish to make here, and that is that every moment brings about the creation of what is in the next moment. This is becoming very clear in these preparations for what is coming. As we go about our changes and see what comes from them, we are able to see what is being brought about through the insight that we each have. As I speak this through this one, I feel the instincts that she has to understand and live what I am saying. I feel it in so many of you, for you have lived what I speak of and in that process there is a knowing that is activated with every moment and every experience that comes in that moment.
