‘BRICS shield against isolation of Russia’

Signaling that Russian foreign policy is not to be dictated by the US and its allies, Russia has said its membership in BRICS prevents it from being isolated internationally. Sergey Naryshkin, speaker and leader of the Duma, Russia’s lower house of Parliament said on Wednesday that the BRICS group of nations account for 42 per cent of the global population and 27 per cent of the global economy.
“They seem to have problems with geography, and they think the world is the US and a group of satellite states, although it is far from it,” he told a local broadcaster, Rossiya24.
“It is simply impossible to isolate the Russian economy, as producers of this crisis of mistrust are saying now and then, bravely stating that they have ‘isolated Russia’,” he added.
Russia is slated to host the 7th BRICS Summit later this summer.
The first board meeting of the $100 billion BRICS Development Bank is supposed to take place in April in the Russian city of Ufa.
The BRICS combined GDP grew 300 per cent in the last decade as opposed to 60 per cent growth registered by the developed world.
BRICS launched a $100 billion development bank and a currency reserve pool in July this year in their first concrete step toward reshaping the Western-dominated international financial system.
In the middle of negotiations with EU leaders like French President Francoise Hollande and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Russian President Vladimir Putin wants to show that he still has major allies in the fastest growing economies in the world.
In a clear indication of its strong support for its BRICS partner, China has said western nations must shed their zero-sum mentality and accommodate Russian security concerns over the Ukraine crisis.
The Ukraine crisis is being fueled by games played by the US and the European Union, said a Chinese diplomat last week.
“The West should abandon the zero-sum mentality, and take the real security concerns of Russia into consideration,” said Chinese envoy to Belgium Qu Xing.

American school children in New York to observe 'muslim holiday' and beheading of animal




American Children In All The New York Public Schools Must Now Observe A Muslim Holiday In Which Muslims Behead An Animal

Far left-wing socialist New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio has successfully spearheaded an effort to shut down New York City schools on two Muslim holidays. One of those holidays is Eid al-Adha, which celebrates animal sacrifice. What the left and the media would have you believe is that this is just another necessary step toward greater diversity and inclusion. In reality, this is a huge step toward the abyss.


Sarsour_deBlasio


In a statement issued by de Blasio, he said:
“Hundreds of thousands of Muslim families will no longer have to choose between honoring the most sacred days on their calendar or attending school.”
What the Mayor and the media are leaving out are two other issues.


1.) The school district now has to track the Lunar calendar and by that, Islam, a spirit of Antichrist intended to changing set times and set laws as well as educating non-Muslims that Eid al-Adha celebrations start after the descent of the Hujjaj (Pilgrims) performing the Hajj, from Mount Arafat, a hill east of Mecca. The very nice sounding idea that “Muslims observe the holiday with morning prayers, followed by gatherings of friends and family” is only half the story.


2.) The day ends up with an animal slaughtered by every household in the backyard:





Isn’t this the kind of thing that American parents should be educating themselves about instead of allowing their children to acknowledge a holiday that celebrates animal sacrifice?





De Blasio made an interesting choice for who would be standing with him as he officially delivered the news:
Linda Sarsour, a Muslim community advocate and public school parent who joined de Blasio for the announcement at a school in Brooklyn, said, “This is what New York City is all about – recognition, inclusion and respect.”
As Shoebat.com has reported last year, Sarsour had a problem with a documentary entitled “The Honor Diaries” that called attention to misogyny in Islam. If Sarsour would not support such a film that seeks to draw attention to the abuse of women, why wouldn’t she support Muslim holidays that abuse animals?


Here is a segment on Fox News about Sarsour’s opposition to the documentary. In the clip, it’s revealed that Sarsour was identified as a “Champion of Change” by the Obama administration:
In 2011, Sarsour also joined forces with the far left-wing Occupy Wall Street movement, as Shoebat.com reported. Also last year, Sarsour took to twitter to thank a far left-wing Congressman, Rep. Jim Moran (D-VA) for his generous contribution to a Muslim Brotherhood front group, as Shoebat.com reported.

Ukranian Food riots...Currency Collapsing, Political Corruption Rampant


Hmm....sounds like US fedcorpgov to me...
The CONFIDENCE in the Ukrainian government is collapsing. The price of food is soaring as people now believe their currency will buy less with each passing day. The hrynya has fallen below 4 cents US. Like German Hyperinflation, here too we see people trying to spend their money on food as soon as they get it. To quiet protests over food, President Petro Poroshenko ordered the minister of the food reserve to fill the shelves of stores with flour, sugar, canned meat, and buckwheat from the reserve. The problem – there was no reserve left.
50-hryvnia-front
Some are calling this the “Financial Maidan” for it was a protest staged at the National Bank of Ukraine to protest the crash of the hryvnya currency and the resulting impoverishment of masses of people as food rises. Earlier in the day, Kiev mayor Klichko accused the demonstrators of being “Russian provocateurs” and expressed puzzlement as to the cause of the protests. Then he unleashed riot police on the demonstrators. Confidence in the Ukrainian government is collapsing.
Braw-4-8-2014
People have seen pictures of brawls in the Ukrainian Parliament. However, I have yet to see an accurate account of what is really behind such outbursts. These are clashes between the old politicians and the new. The way things were always done was outright corruption and the new politicians lash out against secret deals to still fill the pockets of the Oligarchs. These old politicians (Oligarchs) would pass legislation seizing someone’s land for the state and then sell it to one of their family members. The government under Viktor Fedorovych Yanukovych was simply a nasty corrupt organization. They were shaking down businesses for protection. They would send in some regulatory agency who then threatened to close the business. However, they would allow then to remain operating and retain only 20% of the profits. That was a generous offer.
When the Yanukovych government collapsed, other nations froze accounts of Ukrainian politicians (Oligarchs) who had stolen money from the country. The nations were many, such as Austria. The EU froze money as well. However, it appears that there is further corruption for accounts that were frozen, are being mysteriously unfrozen. Since many of Yanukovych supporters are still running the country, has there been some deal under the table to unfreeze money provided Ukraine supports the EU?

The entire problem is that the people rose up against the corruption of the government under Yanukovych. They did not get the revolution they were hoping for. The old politicians are still in control.

Ben Fulford's full report: "Confusion and chaos at highest levels of G7 governments as revolution begins"


Benjamin Fulford - March 2, 2015:
Confusion and chaos at highest levels of G7 governments as revolution begins
There is a dangerous leadership vacuum at the highest levels of power inside the G7 nations as financial collapse looms. There will be economic collapse, mass starvation, anarchy and civil war unless the system is totally rebooted. On the flip side, if the system is rebooted, living standards in the world’s countries can be doubled within a year. The key is to free the nations of the world from Babylonian debt slavery. For those who do not understand this reality, check out this link:
http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/americans-slaves-dont-even-know
and then this one to see the extent of world debt slavery:
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-02-23/biggest-problem-facing-world-today-9-countries-have-debt-gdp-over-300
By staging a jubilee, or one-off cancellation of all world debt, public and private, human living standards can be effectively doubled within a year. The key to accomplishing this is to force the surrender of the Zionazi Khazarian (not Khazak) tribal gang that controls this system.
There is a show-down now taking place inside the United States that holds the key to freedom for humanity at large. The appearance of mass murdering Zionazi Satan worshipping (not Jewish) gang boss Benyamin Netanyahu in Washington this week to push for world war 3 is a golden opportunity to end this once and for all. He is a rabid dog who must be quarantined or put down.
As reported in last week’s report, the US military has finally shown the patriotism and bravery needed to take down the Zionazi mafia controlled CIA faction responsible for most of the world’s wars. Last week the Russian and Chinese government news sites both displayed evidence the Zionazi Department of Homeland Security and CIA had been put under pentagon control. To quote from Russia Today:
“US Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, Lt. General Vincent Stewart (USMC), reported on the intelligence community’s assessment of current and potential threats to American security and interests.”
http://rt.com/usa/235903-clapper-stewart-intel-hearing/
The point of interest here is that neither CIA head John Brennan nor Homeland Security Chief Jeh Johnson were there representing the “intelligence community.” The testimonials given by Clapper and Stewart were not of the sort of apocalyptic fear mongering that has traditionally been spouted out by Zionazi controlled agencies.
The pentagon can now finish what it started by arresting 911 conspirator and mass murderer Netanyahu and demanding unconditional surrender of the entire Zionazi mafia, including the governments of Israel and Saudi Arabia. The Jewish people will be liberated from millennia of slavery by such a move. The world will also be rid of what is by far and away the biggest cause of terrorism, war and misery on earth.
The rest of the world is already moving decisively against the Zionazi gangsters.
In the Middle East, the French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle is working with a US aircraft carrier task force to attack the Israeli ISIS puppet army. ISIS has also been pushed out of Southern Syria and back into Israel. Furthermore, despite Netanyahu’s threats to force Israel to commit national suicide by shooting off its 400 nuclear missiles, the Jews have woken up to the Zionazi slavery system they have been put under and will not do another Masada. Instead, Mossad and other groups have been leaking proof that Netanyahu has been manufacturing evidence of an “Iranian nuclear threat” to try to start World War 3. In other words, the Middle East is about to finally purge itself of the anti-Semitic (in the real sense of the word that includes Arabs) Satan worshipping Hyksos Zionazis.
In Europe, a group led by the Germans is pushing for a “United Europe from the Altantic to the Kamchatka Peninsula [Pacific].” These people are behind the French and German rapprochement with Russia’s Vladimir Putin. These people make it clear they are not talking about a monolithically controlled neo-Soviet structure like the EU but rather “a Europe of nations that harmonize and grow together.”
The British are also making moves of their own against Zionazi control. The UK’s Prince William was feted with great fanfare in both China and Japan in a visit that started last week. William was here to sign accords integrating the City of London based financial system with the Asian gold backed system, according to MI5 sources. In addition, according to a source in the Japanese royal family, “Prince William came to Japan as the heir to the British throne to greet the Emperor and explain why Charles would not become King.” Chinese sources say he was also visiting to ask for money that will be forthcoming. The Chinese even showed their appreciation for British goals of environmental preservation by banning ivory imports.
While William was in Asia, somebody jumped naked out of a window at Buckingham palace in London.
According to MI5 this incident did not take place at the palace proper but rather “the horses’ section.” Clearly though, people in charge of security at the palace are sending a message to the royals which seems to be “arrest the pedophiles and fix the financial system or else.”
The political situation in Japan is also heading for a showdown that parallels the one now taking place in the US. On the one side there is a faction linking President Barack Obama, US Ambassador to Japan Caroline Kennedy and Jacob Rothschild, according to the Japanese royal source. This group wants Ichiro Ozawa as the next Prime Minister together with a scaling down of the US military presence there. On the other is the Zionazi group led by Bush protégés Richard Armitage and Michael Green who control puppet Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. “Abe is so terrified of being killed that he just zigzags according to what he is told,” the source said.
There will be court case on March 13th to hear a lawsuit filed by the Japan Independence Party showing that Abe was placed in power through electoral fraud. A source in the Japanese military police, for his part, said Abe was scheduled to be brought down within three months in a scandal related to his efforts to set up a casino in Japan. During his recent visit to Japan, gangster Netanyahu made a bribe spiced pitch for Zionazi casino boss and US Republican party puppet master Sheldon Adelson, according to the Japanese military police.
The Japanese police authorities are also finally waking up to the fact that Abe has been looting the Japanese economy to keep his Zionazi masters afloat. The latest reflection of this was data showing that household spending in January fell 5.1% year on year even as the Zionazi owned Nikkei stock average soars higher. Stock markets in Japan, the US and Europe are now nothing more than rigged mechanisms for laundering money, stolen from debt slaves, to Zionazi gangsters.
Given these circumstances, Richard Koshimizu, the head of Japan’s Independence Party, might be the dark horse candidate to replace puppet Prime Minister Abe. The JIP would keep pentagon forces in Japan and work to help free Americans and the rest of the world from Zionazi slavery.
There are signs though it will be the Pentagon that will finish the job first. The pictures shown in the link below show what appears to be a major military deployment under way inside the United States.
http://www.allnewspipeline.com/Massive_Preparation_At_Army_Depots.php
A US military move against the Zionazis would involve temporarily shutting down the financial system and possibly even the internet. In such an event, major logistics efforts would be needed to ensure the continued supply of food, heat, gasoline and other essentials to the population until the system was rebooted. This would not be a prelude to a fascist government or genocide because the military is staffed by average Americans who know their job is to protect average Americans from all enemies both external and internal. It would simply be a police operation to remove the gangsters who usurped power and return it to the people. This would include ending debt slavery by returning that most fundamental right, that to create and distribute currency, and thus decide the future, to a government of the people and by the people.
Meanwhile, if the rest of the world, especially the world’s leading creditor nations, agree to sponsor a new meritocratically staffed future planning agency, the US military operating around the world would continue to be financed and be immediately redeployed on a new mission. This would be to protect all living creatures on the planet earth and explore the universe.
The key to remember is that right now the old leadership and economic structure in the West is headed for a mathematically certain collapse. We must either act now, before it is too late, or watch in horror as Western civilization collapses.

WASHINGTON STRIPS FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF NEW YORK OF POWER


WASHINGTON STRIPS FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF NEW YORK OF POWER
WASHINGTON—The Federal Reserve Bank of New York, once the most feared banking regulator on Wall Street, has lost power in a behind-the-scenes reorganization at the nation’s central bank.
The Fed’s center of regulatory authority is now a little-known committee run by Fed governor Daniel Tarullo , which is calling the shots in oversight of banking titans such as Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Citigroup Inc.
The new structure was enshrined in a previously undisclosed paper written in 2010 known as the Triangle Document. Under the new system, Washington is at the center of bank supervision, exercising control over the Fed’s 12 reserve banks, much as the State Department exerts control over embassies.
The power shift, initiated after the financial crisis and slowly put in place over the past five years, is more than a bureaucratic change. It influences how the biggest banks on Wall Street are overseen and has begun to affect regulation in unanticipated ways across the Fed system.

Knock Knock...Lost Journey, Lost History...The Power of Three...


And March begins…
What we’ve experienced so far is only a taste,
Shades of things to come…
If you thought people were crazy before…
Just wait…
The violence and insanity will only escalate,
As will the intensity of the weather…
All that snow…not that winters over by far…
But next will come the flooding…
What should have come before, will now…
Remember what I warned about
The Mississippi…Shall widen unto a sea…
Eventually…over time…engulfing 4 states…
Entirely…
Earthquakes…The Ring of Fire…
Watch California and Alaska this year…
Watch the animals…you may want to relocate.
And now as time passes…
More pieces of the puzzle come together…
Ages ago, on a shiny, starry night…
A Medieval sky was ablaze with lights
Unlike the Early Celts had ever seen…
A shooting star, a supernatural omen then…
Fell, or rather landed on Earth in a dense
Old wood forest…that has long been gone.
To which landed Space Travelers from
The Seven Sisters…A handful of families looking
To escape a war that was overtaking their
Homeworlds…threatening their peaceful existence.
For at that time, the now present Federation
Of Planets did not exist, and many worlds
Out there in Space were struggling to maintain
Their way of life, their freedom from a
Conquering Armada of Reptilians that was
Set on destroying Humans…and enslaving them
At least…
You see these Travelers from the Seven Sisters,
Families of the Tuatha, did not know our
Earth was occupied by the Reptilians then…
It was only a primitive planet…and as
Everyone knew…Advanced Civilizations in Space,
Good or Bad, didn’t bother with primitives…
It was pointless, unless they needed their
Resources or slave labor…
So, Earth appeared to be a
Promising escape from the Star Wars of that time.
Those that settled were known as the Tuatha,
Origin of the Druidic lore, they came from a planet
Much like ours…slightly larger…animals and plants
Much the same, though they knew more mystical beasts…
Unicorns came with them then…as did other
Folklore animals…They were a peaceful people
Magical and Mystical, lovers of Nature…they brought
With them a nobleness and virtue the Natives of
Earth needed to soothe their barbaric nature.
There are primarily three families of the Ruatha, the Royal
Line of the Pleiades System...Also known as the
Red Heads, for their richly red-colored hair…
But over time, s they blended with and influenced the
Natives, and the Druids were born, these three families
Divided and spread to Ireland, Scotland
And the rest throughout Britain.
When the Druidic ways became corrupt, the
Remaining members of the families, who embraced
The old ways of the Tuatha left…
That is when they went to North America…
Canada…and so forth and found the Native Americans…
The Scottish Clan went to Asia…
While the British Clan went South to Egypt…
These were the Stone Builders, the ones who built
Stonehenge…
Guided by Ravens…note here, how interesting it is
That throughout these distant lands…China,
North America…Even the Vikings…that Ravens
All held such similar meaning. Now you know why.
The Scottish Clan that returned from Asia settled
In the Norwegian lands of Sweden and Finland…
Inspiring the Viking lore of Asgard…and Valhalla,
The hall of heroes in the stars…from where the
Tuatha came.
So many odds and ends…scattered throughout time
And distant lands. Clues scattered throughout the globe,
In History and Art.
The reason I tell you this now is that these Three
Families must come together again…
Or rather their descendants, uniting as in
The Trinity Knot…to Complete the Power…
Balance of the Elements, age old power…
The descendants, sons and daughters of the Tuatha
From Ireland…Scotland…and Britain.
You’ve been separated for far too long.
When you do come together…it will be the
Beginning of the new age, invoking positive changes
In all those around you.
This effect will be felt in other areas upon
Which the star seed left their mark…From
Asia, the enlightened ones…and the Secret
Society of the Dragon…
As well as the descendants and Secret Societies of Light
In Sweden and the Norwegian lands…
Including those in Egypt as well as the Native
Americans of North America, especially Southwestern
Tribes, such as the Navajo and Hopi Indians.
As the turmoil continues to grow,
Both in the weather and the collapse of
The monetary systems and corrupt governments…
More and more will awaken…
Not just to the present state of things, but
Ancient memories of who you are and were…
And the roles you were destined to play.
It may be difficult for One person to make
A difference…But when the right people
Awaken and come together, they will be unstoppable.
I realize everyone is tired, tired of being sick…
Of struggling with money, tired of promises broken…
And just plain tired of waiting.
The problem is there is no quick fix. Even this
Help which we may get will take time to initiate
The right changes.
While disasters can happen over night,
In the blink of an eye…
Improvements take much longer, and a lot of work.
And good energy…
I wish it could be easier…
It’s always easy to do the fun things…
Which is why the world is a mess…
But to do what’s right…that’s harder…
But worth it. Don’t give up.
If you want to do your best to make things
Happen faster…Believe in yourself. Have a dream
And pursue it no matter how hard it is.
The Higher Powers respect that.
Especially if you do that with the highest virtue.
Be good to others, to nature, to the animals…
Erase those bad parts of your life that hurt
And embrace the light…and the light will
Grow stronger.
That’s how we all will get through this.
Dear Mr. Spacemen…I’ve said it before…
You have it within your power to help this world…
The benefits will come to us all…
If you don’t…well…Don’t blame me if one of
Your planets goes kablooey…you never know
When the core of a planet could de-stabilize.
That’s what you get for messing with forces you shouldn’t
Be messing with.
That’s all for now.
Valiant
PS: Transcribers note…his artwork, Tigers of Tranquility, is a preliminary sketch of a painting
He never got to complete.
So…sorry about that wrinkle at the bottom.
But the piece is just right for now….

California Infant Dies after 8 Vaccines, Family Gets Him Back from Hospital Cremated

http://vactruth.com/2015/02/26/infant-dies-after-8-vaccines/

CGI's HotCoffee: A customer walked into his pizza shop and changed Philadelphia with $1 and a single Post-it note


From CGI's HotCoffee:
Philadelphia is the poorest large city in the United States.
And it's the city with the worst deep poverty rate in the country, with roughly 185,000 people (including 60,000 kids) living on incomes below half of the federal poverty line. With that, homelessness is on the rise, and the city doesn't have enough resources to be there for everyone.
Heavy, right?
Well, I don't mean to bum you out. Actually, I want to shine a big, bright light on some people who are giving Philadelphia's homeless a daily taste of hope and kindness.
At one Philly pizza parlor, customers can "pay it forward" by pre-purchasing $1 slices of pizza for people in need.
Owner Mason Wartman, who left his Wall Street desk job to open Rosa's Fresh Pizza, says pay-it-forward pizza started with one customer, one dollar, and one Post-it note.
Mason Wartman stands at the helm of Rosa's Fresh Pizza.
The customer was inspired by an Italian coffee house practice called caffè sospeso (suspended coffee), by which customers can pre-purchase cups of coffee for less fortunate customers. Wartman wrote the purchase on a Post-it and slapped it on the wall behind the register to be redeemed by the next homeless patron to enter the store.
As word spread, more and more customers participated.
And Rosa's wall blossomed with colorful notes signifying acts of kindness — and a guaranteed slice for everyone who walked in, regardless of their ability to pay.
Since that first pay-it-forward slice, Rosa's has provided nearly 10,000 pizza slices to needy Philadelphians.
Pre-purchased slices now represent a whopping 10% of Rosa's business. And it's having a remarkable impact on the community, showing not only that acts of kindness can be contagious, but also how a small gesture of support can have a ripple effect of positivity.
In the video, Wartman tells the story of a homeless regular who disappeared for a while only to return having found a new job and wanting to pay it forward as others had done for him. And in an interview with the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Wartman notes that some have even said the program has helped to keep them out of trouble with the law: http://www.upworthy.com/a-customer-walked-into-his-pizza-shop-and-changed-philadelphia-with-1-and-a-single-post-it-note?c=hpstream

All Major Global Banks now meet Basel III Requirements

All major global banks now meet Basel III requirements
Tuesday, March 3, 2015
The world’s 224 major international banks now meet the risk-based capital requirements under the tougher Basel III banking regulations and have further narrowed the shortfall in capital required to meet targets for 2019, according to the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS).
The Basel Committee, which sets global standards for banking supervision, said the aggregate shortfall for the 98 largest internationally active banks relative to the 7 percent target for common equity (CET 1) in 2019 amounted to 3.9 billion euros as of June 30, 2014, down from a shortfall of 15.1 billion as of end-2013 and from a shortfall of 485.6 billion euros on June 30, 2011.
In comparison, these 98 banks – known as Group 1 banks with Tier 1 capital in excess of 3 billion euros – had total after-tax profits prior to distributions of 210.1 billion euros in the six months ending June 30, 2014.
The shortfall for the smaller Group 2 banks, which have Tier 1 capital below 3 billion euros, narrowed to a mere 0.1 billion euros relative to the minimum level of 4.5 percent and was 1.8 billion relative to the 7.0 percent target, down from shortfalls of 2.0 billion and 9.4 billion, respectively from the previous survey in September last year.
The Basel Committee, which groups supervisory authorities from almost 30 jurisdictions, has published six previous reviews of how Basel III rules will impact banks and financial markets. 
Basel III was agreed by global leaders ion 2010 in an effort to strengthen the global financial system following the crises in 2008, and imposed higher capital charges on banks to ensure they had enough of a cushion to withstand the stress from a financial crises along with stricter supervision.
The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision issued the following statement:
“The Basel Committee today published the results of its latest Basel III monitoring exercise. The study is based on the rigorous reporting process set up by the Committee to periodically review the implications of the Basel III standards for banks. The results of previous exercises in this series were published in September 2014, March 2014, September 2013, March 2013, September 2012 and April 2012.
A total of 224 banks participated in the current study, comprising 98 large internationally active banks (“Group 1 banks”, defined as internationally active banks that have Tier 1 capital of more than €3 billion) and 126 Group 2 banks (ie representative of all other banks).
The results of the monitoring exercise assume that the final Basel III package is fully in force, based on data as of 30 June 2014. That is, they do not take account of the transitional arrangements set out in the Basel III framework, such as the gradual phase-in of deductions from regulatory capital. No assumptions were made about bank profitability or behavioural responses, such as changes in bank capital or balance sheet composition. For that reason, the results of the study are not comparable to industry estimates.
Data as of 30 June 2014 show that all large internationally active banks now meet the Basel III risk-based capital minimum requirements. Moreover, capital shortfalls relative to the higher target levels have been further reduced. For example, at the Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) target level of 7.0% (plus the surcharges on global systemically important banks – G-SIBs – as applicable), the aggregate shortfall for Group 1 banks is €3.9 billion, compared to €15.1 billion on 31 December 2013 and €485.6 billion on 30 June 2011. As a point of reference, the sum of after-tax profits prior to distributions across the same sample of Group 1 banks for the six-month period ending 30 June 2014 was €210.1 billion.
Under the same assumptions, the capital shortfall for Group 2 banks included in the sample is estimated at €0.1 billion for the CET1 minimum of 4.5% and €1.8 billion for a CET1 target level of 7.0%. This represents a narrowing of the shortfall from €2.0 billion and €9.4 billion compared to the previous period, respectively.
The average CET1 capital ratios under the Basel III framework across the same sample of banks are 10.8% for Group 1 banks and 11.8% for Group 2 banks.
Basel III’s Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) came into effect on 1 January 2015. The minimum requirement is set initially at 60% and will then rise in equal annual steps to reach 100% in 2019. The weighted average LCR for the Group 1 bank sample was 121% on 30 June 2014, up from 119% six months earlier. For Group 2 banks, the weighted average LCR was 140%, up from 132% six months earlier. For banks in the sample, 80% reported an LCR that met or exceeded 100%, while 96% reported an LCR at or above 60%.
Basel III also includes a longer-term structural liquidity standard – the Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) – which was finalised by the Basel Committee in October 2014. Given data collected as part of the end-June 2014 reporting period was obtained prior to the release of the revised standard, the report provides analysis of results under the consultative document issued in January 2014. The weighted average NSFR for the Group 1 bank sample was 110% while for Group 2 banks the average NSFR was 114%. As of June 2014, 80% of the 212 banks in the NSFR sample reported a ratio that met or exceeded 100%, while 92% of the banks reported an NSFR at or above 90%.”

Cabal Driven Global Economy

The Foul Stench Of Desperation +
Whatever Became Of Economists And The American [Cabal Driven Global] Economy?

March 6 2015 | From: WakeUpKiwi via InvestmentResearchDynamics / PaulCraigRoberts

Something is really wrong behind the scenes. The insiders are exhibiting an extreme degree of desperation to keep the price of gold and silver from trading freely and to keep the stock market from plunging.
 
 Every time the S&P 500/Dow are in a free-fall, one of the big HFT electronic commications networks (ECNs) mysteriously “breaks”. 




Today the S&P 500 was down 16 points and falling quickly. Then the BATS ECN announced that it had to suspend trading in all of its trade routing systems to the NYSE.

It just so happens that BATS is one of the largest, if not the largest, electronic communication networks in the world.

This happens every time the stock market goes into cliff-dive mode . How come it NEVER happens when the S&P 500 is going parabolic to the upside?
The economy is starting to fall apart. The plunging price of oil is just one indicator.

Retail sales down nearly 1% two months in a row with one of the months being December, which is historically the best month of the year for retail sales.

DOWN 1%.

Declines in retail sales are not very common – especially back-to-back monthly declines just under 1%.

It means that consumers are not buying. They are not buying because they have run out of money.


Revolving credit balances have been rising steadily now since 2011. The rise has begun to accelerate:
 
 
 
Contrary to popular Wall Street myth, consumers don’t take out an increasing amount of high-cost credit card debt when they feel “good” about the economy.

Since the mid-2000’s people have been using credit card debt increasingly to pay for necessities: food, gasoline, etc. Many will even put their monthly mortgage payment on their credit card.

This is part of the dynamic that lead to the credit market collapse in 2008. Banks are all too willing to issue them to everyone with less than stellar credit ratings because they can charge 15% (current average APR) on money for which they are borrowing from depositors for almost 0% .

How do we know that consumers don’t “feel good” about the economy? Because if you review all of recent macro economic surveys, you’ll find that they all have sub-indices which measure “sentiment” or “expectations.” Those sub-indices in particular are plunging.

I don’t know how much longer “they” can keep up this absurd charade, but I know when that when they lose control the collapse will be spectacular.

Whatever Became of Economists and the American [Cabal Driven Global] Economy?

According to the official economic fairy tale, the US economy has been in recovery since June 2009.
 
 
 
This fairy tale supports America’s image as the safe haven, an image that keeps the dollar up, the stock market up, and interest rates down. It is an image that causes the massive numbers of unemployed [not just] Americans to blame themselves and not the mishandled economy.

This fairy tale survives despite the fact that there is no economic information whatsoever that supports it.

Real median household income has not grown for years and is below the levels of the early 1970s. There has been no growth in real retail sales for six years. How does an economy dependent on consumer demand grow when real consumer incomes and real retail sales do not grow?

Not from business investment. Why invest when there is no sales growth? Industrial production, properly deflated, remains well below the pre-recession level.

Not from construction. The real value of total construction put in place declined sharply from 2006 through 2011 and has bounced around the 2011 bottom for the past three years. How does an economy grow when the labor force is shrinking? The labor force participation rate has declined since 2007 as has the civilian employment to population ratio.

How can there be a recovery when nothing has recovered ?

Do economists believe that the entire corpus of macroeconomics taught since the 1940s is simply incorrect? If not, how can economists possibly support the recovery fairy tale?

We see the same absence of economics in the policy response to the sovereign debt crisis in Europe. First of all, the only reason that there is a crisis is because instead of writing off that part of the debt that cannot be paid, as in the past, so that the rest of the debt could be paid, creditors have demanded the impossible – that all the debt be paid. 
 
 


In an attempt to achieve the impossible, heavily indebted countries, such as Greece, have been forced to reduce old age pensions, fire government employees, reduce social services such as health care and education, reduce wages, and sell-off public property such as ports, municipal water companies, and the state lottery.

These austerity packages deprive the government of revenues and the population of spending power. Consequently, consumption, investment, and government spending all fall, and the economy sinks lower. As the economy sinks, the existing debt becomes a larger percentage of the GDP and becomes even more unserviceable.

Economists have known this ever since John Maynard Keynes taught it to them in the 1930s. Yet there is no sign of this foundational economics in the policy approach to the sovereign debt crisis.

Economists it appears have simply vanished from the earth. Or, if some are still present, they have lost their voices and do not speak.

Consider “globalism.” Every country has been convinced that globalism is imperative and that not to be part of the “global economy” means economic death.

In fact, to be part of the global economy means death.

Understand the economic destruction that globalism has wreaked on the United States. Millions of middle class factory jobs and professional skill jobs such as software engineering and Information Technology have been taken away from the American middle class and given to people in Asia.

In the short-run this drops labor costs and benefits the profits of the US corporations that offshore the jobs, but the consequence is to destroy the domestic consumer market as jobs that permit the formation of households are replaced with lowly paid part-time jobs that do not.

If households cannot form, the demand for housing, home appliances and furnishings declines. College graduates return home to live with their parents.

Part-time jobs hurt the ability to save. People are only able to purchase cars because they can get 100 percent financing, and more in order to pay off an existing car loan that exceeds the vehicle’s trade-in value, in a six-year loan. These loans are possible, because those who make the loans sell them.

The loans are then securitized and sold as investments to those desperate for yield in a zero interest rate world.

Derivatives are spun off these “investments,” and a new bubble is put in place.

When manufacturing jobs are offshored, the US plants are closed, and the tax base of state and local governments declines.

When the governments have trouble servicing their accumulated debt, the tendency is not to meet their pension obligations. This reduces retiree incomes, incomes already reduced by zero or negative interest rates.
This unraveling of consumer demand, the basis for our economy, was entirely obvious at the very beginning.

Yet junk economists or hired corporate mouthpieces promised Americans a “New Economy” that would provide them with better, higher paying, cleaner jobs to take the place of the jobs moved abroad. As I have pointed out for more than a decade, there is no sign of these jobs anywhere in the economy
.

Why did economists make no protest as the US economy was shipped abroad and deep-sixed at home?

Globalism also devastates “emerging economies.” Self-sufficient agricultural communities are destroyed by the introduction of large-scale monoculture agriculture. The uprooted peoples relocate to cities where they become a drain on social services and a source of political instability.

Globalism, like neoliberal economics, is an instrument of economic imperialism. Labor is exploited, while peoples, cultures, and environments are destroyed. Yet the propaganda is so powerful that people partake of their own destruction.
