Venezuela On The Brink – Images and Video…


Re-Posted from the Conservative Tree House on April 21, 2017 by

The media is downplaying, and in most cases ignoring, the extreme nature of the crisis currently going on in socialist Venezuela under the Maduro regime.  Most of the cries for help are from people begging the international media to cover their plight.

Some of the video and photography are stunning as millions of people take to the streets to protest a collapsing economy and food shortages while being met with tanks, guns and rogue militias hired by the government.

Some of the targeted citizens appear chosen at random.  Some of the citizens are also desperate and fighting back. Warning – These images are graphic and the video feeds are also alarming.  However, the media are barely reporting on any of this, and unfortunately, it looks like things are getting worse:

This woman’s cry for freedom is heartbreaking.

As this lady and her family was filming the armed official shooting in the street, he turned and shot at her in her home.

So much tear gas has been deployed people are fleeing their homes amid the confrontations.  The local district medical units appear overwhelmed, and also fearful of being targeted.

This woman was shot in her home by either militia or Venezuelan guards.

British Press Gearing Up to Destroy Britain – Fake News Epidemic

John Redwood, a prominent and experienced Brexit MP, posted on his blog today (http://johnredwoodsdiary.com) about doing an interview on British Press:

The BBC wants to change the news, not report it

By JOHNREDWOOD | Published: APRIL 20, 2017

Yesterday I was phoned to be asked onto the BBC Radio 4 Today program this morning. They said they wanted me to answer questions about how the election would change the UK’s ability to negotiate a new, good relationship with the EU. I was happy to do so, and said I could make any time at their studio. It seemed like a good topic, and central to what the PM said about her reason for calling the election.

They then proceeded to ask me a series of questions all designed to get me to disagree with the UK negotiating position and Prime Minister. I explained that I supported the PM, agreed with her Brexit White Paper and stated aims, and suggested if all they wanted to do was to criticize her, they should approach the opposition parties. They continued to try to get me to disagree. They did not seem to have read the White Paper or the PM’s speech on the topic, so I had to tell them what was in them and why I agreed with them.

I explained again that their thesis that the leave supporting MPs were in disagreement with the PM and were “rebels” was simply untrue. We are not in disagreement with the PM and we have been strongly supporting the government’s statements and legislation on Brexit. She said she would get back to me about the invitation to go on, with the details.

She did not of course bother to, as it was clear I was unwilling to feed their view of what the news should be.

I then found that another Leave supporting Conservative MP had been given the same treatment, and he too had thought the BBC were trying to change the  news rather than report the position. When I came to do a live interview on some other BBC program, I was faced with the same stupid thesis and had to explain on air how wrong their idea was.

I do not know who is feeding the BBC this nonsense, but it is frustrating that they do not accept the truth from those whose views they claim to be reporting, and do not bother to get back and openly say they do not want you on because you won’t say what they want you to say.

Bose Spying on its Customers?

Bose

 

Reuters is reporting that a lawsuit was just filed on Tuesday in federal court in Chicago seeking an injunction to stop Bose’s “wholesale disregard” for the privacy of customers who download its free Bose Connect app from Apple Inc or Google Play stores to their smartphones. The lawsuit alleges that Bose Corp spies on its wireless headphone customers by using an app that tracks the music, podcasts and other audio they listen to and then sells that information thereby violating their privacy rights. Many serviced offices force you to go through their network and they too are tracking what you search so they too can resell that info to others.

The real question is coming to a head. You do you value? Your customer or the few extra pennies you can get buy selling what they look at or sell.

French Elections on Sunday


Armstrong Economics Blog/France

Re-Posted Apr 20, 2017 by Martin Armstrong

Le Pen Marine

The first round of the 2017 French presidential election is set to be held this coming Sunday on the 23rd of April 2017. Should no candidate win a majority, which is usually the case in France, a run-off election between the top two candidates will be held on May 7th, 2017.

Macron and Le Pen are tied at 22% each – a far cry from a majority. Yet, what people fail to comprehend is regardless of who wins, a sizable portion of the population throughout all of Europe is anti-EU. Economically, if Le Pen does not win, it will be a very hard landing for the EU going forward for the politicians will refuse to reform and assume they have beaten the “populist” movement.

NuclearLike many Euro countries, France’s economy has reached a dead-end, or in French an economic cul-de-sac. This creates the social unrest, which is the seed of Revolution. France, as strange as it may sound, is actually closer to Britain than Germany or Italy. However, the French labor market is even more socialistic than that in Britain and it is in a major crisis. France has a major energy problem that is very specific to France. France uses primarily nuclear power. However, it does import energy from Britain.

With the elections coming up this Sunday, the EU suffered a major shock with the BREXIT vote in 2016. Then the election of Donald Trump smacked them square in the face, yet a deep-haze manifested in their eyes as the politicians refused to recognize that they were the targets.

Macron EmmanuelPanic has given way to confidence in the last few months and politicians are preparing to blame Russia for their own failures. Before the first round of the elections in France, the EU is on guard desperately trying to defeat Le Pen at all costs. They cling to the large portion of undecided and they are calling in all the markers desperately trying to get the press to manipulate this election to save Brussels.

The polls reflect considerable uncertainty. Many voters, perhaps 30 to 40% of the total, have not yet decided. This reflects the 22% poll for both Le Pen and Macron.

What is clear is that a Le Pen victory will provide a soft-landing for the Euro. If she loses, then this is going to be a very hard landing indeed in 2018. There will be no hope of reform and Brussels will push it into collapse cheering how they have defeated the “populist” movement

Left-Wing Activist Rushes Stage Targeting Marine Le Pen During Paris Election Rally (Video)…


Re-Posted from the Conservative Tree House on April 17, 2017 by

During a massive campaign rally today in Paris nationalist politician Marine Le Pen was targeted by a far-left loon who rushed the stage and came within inches of the presidential candidate before security forces took action.

The activist disguised herself as a Le Pen supporter carrying flowers and rushed the stage, it took several seconds for the security team to react.  Thankfully no-one was hurt.  Video Below:

.

Le Pen’s security apparatus need to step up their approach; because if that had been a violent attack their response time would have been far too late.

The video at the top of the page is the best view of the event. However, here’s some secondary video:

Germany Building Free Housing for Refugees worth 3 million

Re-Posted Apr 15, 2017 by Martin Armstrong

Construction for Refugees

In Germany, Martin Schultz wants to give refugees the right to vote. So if he cannot win with Germans, he wants to give the right to vote to refugees to win by bribing them. The German politicians are now giving them apartments they are constructing that cost about €3 million each. The construction costs actually come out to about €1600 per square meter and since each apartment is about ​​470 square meters, the cost to build one apartment is more than €3 million. It is stunning that Merkel was so fearful of inflation that she would not yield to Greece and saw fit to impoverish the people to pay for the political corruption of their politicians. Yet building dwellings for refugees without language and job skills that cost €3 million each is some how not inflationary.

This type of expenditure FAILS to stimulate the economy for construction jobs are the least field that contributes to an economy since they are not permanent jobs. This does not add to the productivity of a nation, but reduces economic growth. This just makes you wonder how politicians think and even sleep at night. They never look at the long-term. It’s whatever they have to do to win the next vote.

Freidberg

Meanwhile, the Saxon city of Freiberg has sent a bill for the integration of refugees to the Federal Chancellery – and is now discussing this with the Saxon state government. They are demanding to be paid for 736 200 euros from Federal Chancellor Angela Merkel to cover the cost of integrating 1700 refugees last year.

“Nuclear War Much More Likely” Paul Craig Roberts: In Dangerous World, Putin Will Not Trust America


The deep state things they can survive the war but even if they do survive what will be left? Assuming it limited to a couple of dozen bombs and we only kill a a couple of billion the problem is that a technology based civilization will not survive and we’ll be in a second dark age.

Corsica Riots 4-9-2017

In Corsica, the left has stormed into an appearance of Marine Le Pen to disrupt her campaign. The leftist group Ghjuventu Indipendentista claims to be Corsican nationalists who want to separate from France. The group called for everyone to join using Twitter. The goal was to prevent Le Pen from making an election campaign speech in Corsica. About 20 to 30 people managed to gain access to the Hall of the Party Front National (FN) and forced the room to be cleared after a handful used of tear gas. As usual, it is the left which is always violent for they are often the source political revolutions that suppress anyone who disagrees with them and that is pretty standard around the world.

The rioters were arrested. This is becoming a much more frequent trend internationally.
