εξαγγελία του Αντώνη Σαμαρά για την κατάργηση του ειδικού τέλους ακινήτων μετατράπηκε σε πλήρη εφαρμογή της απόφασης Βενιζέλου με τον οποίο συμπορεύεται και συγκυβερνά. Η ρητή δέσμευση μετατέθηκε για το 2013. Οι πολίτες στεγνώνουν οικονομικά και η ΔΕΗ απαξιώνεται πριν βγει στο «σφυρί». Έχει πέσει και το τελευταίο «φύλλο συκής» μιας κυβέρνησης που άλλα υπόσχεται τον Ιούνιο και άλλα κάνει τον Ιούλιο».

Markel Majority Fades As Internal Revolt May Signal ‘Referendum’ | ZeroHedge
Posted by satyrikon στο 15 Ιουλίου, 2012
Despite assurances that «we always get the majority we need» by Frau Merkel, the FT reports that the Bundestag’s vote this Thursday (expected to come down in favor of the bailout) will not gain the so-called ‘Chancellor’s majority’. While she retains an overall majority of 19 (from the ranks of her own Christian Democratic Union, its Bavarian sister party, the Christian Social Union, and the liberal Free Democratic party in her coalition), the recent ESM vote saw 26 of her supporters rebel (voting ‘Nein’ or abstaining) – though ended up being passed thanks to support from SPD and The Greens. While a ‘Chancellor’s majority’ is not required to approve the EUR100 billion Spanish bailout, «Anything other than a chancellor’s majority is a defeat, and a sign of the erosion of the power of the chancellor,» which leads us down the path we have noted previously of the inevitability of a referendum-like vote next year (which may just be the leave-the-Euro-coz-that’s-what-the-people-want ‘out’ Germany has been looking for). Certainly, the vote is no panacea (politically or economically) as Jens Weidmann notes that the bailout would be more effective ‘conditions’ were applied across Spain, adding that «It would have a positive effect on the bond market if investors saw that the conditions… went beyond the banking sector».

After Creating Dollar Exclusion Zones In Asia And South America, China Set To Corner Africa Next | ZeroHedge
Posted by satyrikon στο 15 Ιουλίου, 2012
By now it really, really should be obvious. While the insolvent «developed world» is furiously fighting over who gets to pay the bill for 30 years of unsustainable debt accumulation and how to pretend that the modern ‘crony capitalist for some and communist for others’ system isn’t one flap of a butterfly’s wings away from full on collapse mode, China is slowly taking over the world’s real assets. As a reminder: here is a smattering of our headlines on the topic from the last year: «»World’s Second (China) And Third Largest (Japan) Economies To Bypass Dollar, Engage In Direct Currency Trade», «China, Russia Drop Dollar In Bilateral Trade», «China And Iran To Bypass Dollar, Plan Oil Barter System», «India and Japan sign new $15bn currency swap agreement», «Iran, Russia Replace Dollar With Rial, Ruble in Trade, Fars Says», «India Joins Asian Dollar Exclusion Zone, Will Transact With Iran In Rupees», ‘The USD Trap Is Closing: Dollar Exclusion Zone Crosses The Pacific As Brazil Signs China Currency Swap», and finally, «Chile Is Latest Country To Launch Renminbi Swaps And Settlement», we now get the inevitable: «Central bank pledges financial push in Africa.» To summarize: first Asia, next Latin America, and now Africa.
Yep: the Yuan may not be the reserve currency by default, but at this
rate China will have bilateral, read USD-bypassing relations, with all
countries in Asia, South America and shortly Africa (where none other
than Goldman Sachs has been pushing harder than anyone). Once the entire
world is trading in CNY, it will be merely a matter of flipping the
switch and all those fancy three-letter economic theories that explain
why the uber-welfare state works just becayse the US can print an infinity+1 in debt, will all suddenly find themselves completely and totally bidless.
From China Daily:
China is to promote the yuan’s use in settling trade and
investment with Africa, and encourage the more active development of
Chinese financial institutions across the continent, a senior central
bank official said on Friday.
Li Dongrong, assistant governor of the People’s Bank of China, said
Africa has the capability of becoming a new hub of international capital
flow, and the yuan’s use there should be further improved in accordance
with rising demand for the currency there.
«We will continue to encourage domestic financial institutions to
increase their presence and business across the continent,» Li told
delegates at the Forum on China-Africa Financial Cooperation in Beijing,
adding that the cooperation potential between the two sides is huge, as
Africa’s economy continues to take off.
According to Li, yuan-denominated settlement between China and some
African countries has already started, with 4.3 billion yuan ($156.5
million) worth of settlement made with South Africa and 2.3 trillion
yuan with Mauritius, for example.
The popularity of using the yuan has been increasing in Africa, and
more central banks are considering including the currency in their
reserve portfolios, reported various governors of African central banks
at the forum.
For China, Ghana is not Spain. It is far, far more valuable.
Millison Narh, second deputy governor of the Bank of
Ghana, said the bank’s board of directors has decided to use the yuan as
part of its settlement and reserve currencies in January, but has yet
to finalise details with the People’s Bank of China
«We have looked at the currency rate risk management of the reserve
portfolio. I think the yuan has performed very well, supported by the
huge international reserves of China. It makes sense to use the yuan as
both the settlement currency and the reserve currency.»
More African central banks will make similar decisions, and in five
years about 20 percent of African central banks’ foreign reserve
portfolio would be yuan assets, he said.
So is Zambia:
Michael Gondwe, governor of the Bank of Zambia, added
that his country is yet to decide on including the yuan in its foreign
reserve assets, but it is expecting increased usage of it to settle
trade between China and Zambia.
Franklin Kennedy, a non-executive director of the African
Export-Import Bank, said he believed using the yuan on the continent was
«a natural evolvement – it has to happen», and expects more African
central banks to include the currency in their foreign reserve
portfolios.
Of course the French, who are not used to being snubbed in what is
rapidly becoming a second Congress of Berlin, only this time one without
any European participation, are not very happy:
One trade finance manager at Societe Generale (China)
Ltd, who declined to be named, said he has seen little demand among
traders to settle deals in yuan, because there is no sound channel to
make investment or purchases in yuan after holding the currency.
As for the truth:
Babacar Ndiaye, the former president of the African
Development Bank, said he saw «no reason» why traders would refuse to
settle transactions in yuan «when the trade flow increases» between
China and Africa.
«It is logical that very soon more and more central banks of Africa will follow Nigeria to include the yuan into their reserves,» he said
He added at present it is just the beginning, and central banks would
also prefer to buy treasury bonds from China in the future if possible.
But… but… if the whole world suddenly realizes that the CNY is the defacto reserve currency and «would also prefer to buy treasury bonds from China in the future if possible«… who does that leave as natural buyers for US paper? Aside from the Fed of course…

Hillary Clinton Must Resign (Op-ed)
Posted by satyrikon στο 15 Ιουλίου, 2012
Cites false reports regarding Syria «massacre» to call for UN Chapter 7. Irresponsible warmongering leaves American credibility irrevocably damaged.
editorial by Tony Cartalucci
Image: US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has attempted on numerous occasions to leverage fabricated atrocities to stampede UN resolutions through the Security Council to allow the same destructive, tragic military campaign against Syria that was waged against Libya. Her latest outburst was so overtly fraudulent and patently false, her continuation as Secretary of State risks a permanent and exponentially accelerating decline in US legitimacy worldwide.
July 14, 2012 – The unhinged state of US foreign policy is exemplified best by this week’s Tremseh, Syria «massacre.» Before any confirmations could be made, and based solely on «activist» accounts, Hillary Clinton penned a US State Department statement that read:
I was deeply saddened and outraged to learn of reports of yet another massacre committed by the Syrian regime that has claimed the lives of over 200 men, women, and children in the village of Traymseh. Credible reports indicate that this unconscionable act was carried out by artillery, tanks, and helicopters – indisputable evidence that the regime deliberately murdered innocent civilians. Syria cannot be peaceful, stable, or democratic until Assad goes and a political transition begins. We call for an immediate ceasefire in and around Hama to allow the UN observer mission to enter Traymseh. Those who committed these atrocities will be identified and held accountable.
As long as the Assad regime continues to wage war against the Syrian people, the international community must keep increasing the pressure on the regime to halt the violence and allow for a political solution to go forward. The Security Council should put its full weight behind the Annan plan for an immediate ceasefire and a political transition and make clear to the Syrian regime that there will be consequences for non-compliance. History will judge this Council. Its members must ask themselves whether continuing to allow the Assad regime to commit unspeakable violence against its own people is the legacy they want to leave.
The Security Council of course would be putting its «full weight» behind Kofi Annan’s «peace plan» with Chapter 7 provisions in place – meaning that sanctions and military intervention, as it was in Libya, would be subsequently implemented.
What US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton attempted to do, was propose a UN Security Council resolution authorizing military intervention (and by consequence, long sought after regime change), then used fabricated reports to sell the resolution in the court of global public and diplomatic opinion. It constitutes an overt crime against peace, and conspiracy to wage aggressive war -both Nuremberg offenses.
Not only that, but the UN confirms that Syrian security operations targeted «specific» rebel locations rendering Clinton’s accusation that government forces «deliberately murdered innocent civilians» a bold-faced lie.
Hillary Clinton, to continue in her capacity, like the entire Bush Administration before her, compromises and forever stains the credibility and integrity of the United States. It is ironic that the very violence unfolding in Syria today, which Clinton would have the world believe is the work of the «Syrian regime,» was first blueprinted and orchestrated by the US during Bush’s term in office.
Surely Clinton’s resignation would be more symbolic than a serious blow to a system that is in reality driven by corporate-financier interests from amongst their think-tanks, lobbying networks, and media empires, but it would the beginning of a new paradigm that signaled the days of impunity for these special interests drawing to a close.
