Central Banks Want Out Bank of International Settlements General Manager, Jaime Caruana[courtesy Google Images] The Bank of International Settlements (“BIS”) was established in A.D. 1930 and is the world’s oldest international bank. It’s been described as the central bank for the world’s central bankers. In the sense that most psychiatrists have their own shrinks, the world’s central banks (like the Federal Reserve) have the BIS to turn to whenever they’re feeling blue. Jaime Caruana is the BIS General Manager and ranks with Ben Bernanke as two of the most knowledgeable and influential bankers in the world. Mr. ● According to Mr. These measures included buying “toxic [worthless] assets”, Quantitative Easing (inflating the currency supply) and near-zero interest rates. These “unprecedented measures” had some success: “Without these forceful and determined policy responses, the global financial system could easily have collapsed [after A.D. 2008], bringing the world economy down with it. Even so, Result? Mr. ● Mr.
Dell XPS 15 L502x: Now with Sandy Bridge Battery Life: Better than the L501x As mentioned earlier, Dell shipped us a 90Wh (the website states 92Wh, but our battery rates itself at 90Wh) battery for this review. However, we still have one of their 56Wh batteries from the previous XPS models available, so we tested both configurations. With the move from dual-core Arrandale to quad-core Sandy Bridge, plus a faster GT 540M GPU and HD 3000 IGP, we weren’t sure what would happen to battery life. It turns out that even sticking with the 6-cell battery, the L502x surpasses the L501x in all three of our battery life metrics. That’s good, because the large bump on the bottom of the laptop that the 9-cell upgrade brings into play is a real drawback. We’ve noted in the past that Sandy Bridge really improved H.264 playback power/battery requirements, and that shows up in our charts again. Battery life in general isn’t class leading for the XPS 15, but it’s good enough to satisfy most mobile users.
E-Bomb: The Electronic Weapon That Can Make a Plane “Disappear” Over a dozen nations have now mobilized search teams for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. The mysterious disappearance has left investigators all over the world wondering what could have happened. This is a huge investigation, as evidenced by the fact that China has re-tasked ten satellites to search for the wreckage, suggesting that the People’s Republic really wants to get to the bottom of what happened here. There is no debris to be found. The black box, which is supposed to be indestructible in a large explosion and should broadcast a homing signal for up to 30 days, has gone dark. Several theories have emerged as to what could have caused the flight to “vanish” out of thin air. We can probably rule out a mid-air explosion, because something like that would likely have left instruments operational for long enough that readings would have been transmitted back to flight controllers. The following provides an explanation for how these weapons work. Vaporized? Source: www.shtfplan.com
Italian Authorities Move To Shut Down “Tanker Enemy” Website » Italian Authorities Move To Shut Down “Tanker Enemy” Website The message below was received from Rosario and Antonio Marciano on 11/1/2013, the additional message at the bottom from a friend of the Marciano Brothers. This is what it has come to in Italy, confiscation of equipment and information, as well as legal action against any who dare tell the truth as Rosario and Antonio have so valiantly tried to do. The same will continue to unfold here in the US. It is up to ALL of us to help, not just a few of us. I encourage all to visit the English version of the “Tanker Enemy” site and to contribute to their cause as much as possible. October 30, 2013, at 7.00 am.

Vol MH370 de Malaysia Airlines : ils sont bizarres ces iraniens… Beaucoup de choses ont été dites sur le vol MH370 de Malaysia Airlines reliant Kuala Lumpur à Pékin, qui a disparu avec ses 239 passagers et 12 membres d’équipage. Avant même d’avoir retrouvé la moindre trace de l’avion, des rumeurs circulaient déjà au sujet de deux iraniens qui auraient été à son bord. Il est bien connu qu’un iranien dans un avion c’est la chute libre assurée… Pour bien renforcer cette idée, l’informateur ajoute que les deux passagers n’avaient pas de passeports. Comment ont-ils fait pour monter dans l’avion sans passeport pour un vol international ? Et sans passeport, comment pouvait-on savoir qu’il s’agissait d’iraniens ? Mais le plus intéressant est que notre zélé informateur, dans son souci de nous éclairer, nous fournit même des photos. Mais voilà, les photos foutent tout par terre. Avic
Elin Krantz: Just Another Dead White Liberal Female Elin Krantz, once a beautiful blond woman, young and full of life, is now dead in the ground and six months decomposed. Supposedly, she was a member of the "We Like Diversity" Facebook page, called herself "multicultural" and a supporter of Third-world immigration into Sweden, the country of her birth. Maybe in those last few moments of life, she changed her mind about a few things, as if it made any difference. On that day, Elin and her african immigrant killer were riding the same tram to the Hisingen neighbourhood in Sweden. Shortly thereafter Krantz was found raped and murdered in a wooded area not far from the tram stop. The dead woman was reported to have been a member of the facebook community "We like diversity." Ephrem tadele Yohannes registered for census on Temperature street in Gothenburg. Now the Swedish taxpayers will have to take care of his worthless hide for life.

Two Hundred Years of Surgery Surgery is a profession defined by its authority to cure by means of bodily invasion. The brutality and risks of opening a living person's body have long been apparent, the benefits only slowly and haltingly worked out. Nonetheless, over the past two centuries, surgery has become radically more effective, and its violence substantially reduced — changes that have proved central to the development of mankind's abilities to heal the sick. Surgery before the Advent of Anesthesia The first volume of the New England Journal of Medicine and Surgery, and the Collateral Branches of Science, published in 1812, gives a sense of the constraints faced by surgeons, and the mettle required of patients, in the era before anesthesia and antisepsis. The eye-lids were separated by the thumb and finger of the left hand, and then, a broad cornea knife was pushed through the cornea at the outer angle of the eye, till its point approached the opposite side of the cornea. They were also often illusory.
The Mystery of Flight MH370: Was the Flight Lost in an Aeronautical Black Hole or There Are Supernatural Explanations It was 1:30 a.m. when Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 lost all communications, including important transponder signals that send data on altitude, direction and speed. Still, it showed up on radar for about 1 hour, 10 minutes longer — until it vanished, having apparently moved away from its intended destination, hundreds of miles off course. As another day of the MH370 search-and-rescue mission has come to a close, and we’re still no closer to finding the missing plane. The search area has been expanded from 50 nautical miles (57 miles; 93km) to 100 nautical miles. As WashPost reports: One of the most eerie rumors came after a few relatives said they were able to call the cellphones of their loved ones or find them on a Chinese instant messenger service called QQ that indicated that their phones were still somehow online. How can a plane simply disappear? Why can’t we make contact with the black box? Why are the passengers’ phone still ringing? Why is there no debris? Source: Eddie (2155 Posts)
IMF's four steps to damnation | Business | The Observer It was like a scene out of Le Carré: the brilliant agent comes in from the cold and, in hours of debriefing, empties his memory of horrors committed in the name of an ideology gone rotten. But this was a far bigger catch than some used-up Cold War spy. The former apparatchik was Joseph Stiglitz, ex-chief economist of the World Bank. He was in Washington for the big confab of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund. Here in Washington we conducted exclusive interviews with Stiglitz, for The Observer and Newsnight, about the inside workings of the IMF, the World Bank, and the bank's 51% owner, the US Treasury. And here, from sources unnamable (not Stiglitz), we obtained a cache of documents marked, 'confidential' and 'restricted'. Stiglitz helped translate one, a 'country assistance strategy'. But according to insider Stiglitz, the Bank's 'investigation' involves little more than close inspection of five-star hotels. Step One is privatisation. The IMF riot is painfully predictable.
Six Important Facts You’re Not Being Told About Lost Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 There are some astonishing things you’re not being told about Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, the flight that simply vanished over the Gulf of Thailand with 239 people on board. The mystery of the flight’s sudden and complete disappearance has even the world’s top air safety authorities baffled. “Air-safety and antiterror authorities on two continents appeared equally stumped about what direction the probe should take,” reports the Wall Street Journal. WSJ goes on to report: “For now, it seems simply inexplicable,” said Paul Hayes, director of safety and insurance at Ascend Worldwide, a British advisory and aviation data firm. While investigators are baffled, the mainstream media isn’t telling you the whole story, either. • Fact #1: All Boeing 777 commercial jets are equipped with black box recorders that can survive any on-board explosion No explosion from the plane itself can destroy the black box recorders. Yet the black box from this particular incident hasn’t been detected at all.
London Thames Estuary airport plans unveiled A UK consortium has outlined plans for a new Thames Estuary airport to replace Heathrow as London’s hub. The London Britannia airport would boast six runways with a capacity to handle 172 million passengers per year and would operate 24h a day, the Thames Estuary Research and Development Company (Testrad) consortium states. Built on a “blue brownfield” site to the north of the Isle of Sheppey, the airport would cost £47 billion ($75 billion) and take seven years to construct once local planning approvals had been granted. Testrad London Britannia would be connected to existing high speed lines, Crossrail and “an enhanced direct rail link to Waterloo”, with travel time into the capital estimated at 30min. A logistics centre would be constructed at Sheerness and the A249 would be upgraded to provide a new motorway connection. An international ferry terminal and “logistics dock” would also be added.
