A Challenging First Quarter Moon

~ admin ~ 1 Comment

firstHenry Seltzer – Thursday evening’s First Quarter Moon comes at a crucial time in the midst of an intense summer of outer planet activity. Pluto was greatly emphasized in the recent New Moon, implying that the major transformation he symbolizes is very much with us over the next several weeks. Additionally, all the following planets are either stationing — meaning that they are standing still in the sky and changing their direction of motion — or getting ready to station:

  • Eris just recently, on the 19th;
  • Venus in square with Saturn, on the 25th;
  • Uranus, in conjunction with Eris, on the 26th;
  • Saturn, himself, on August 1st.

I include the new planet, Eris, in this list because she has proven to be significant in charts, embodying the archetype of a Feminine Warrior, by which I imply taking a strong stand for yourself and for your deepest soul intention.

This is a relevant theme for the current lunation cycle, as indicated by the recent mid-July New Moon being in precise square to Eris. The most compelling public statement of this symbolism would be, in this country, the presidential election run of Bernie Sanders. Whether or not you like his politics, it seems certain that his primarily motivation is a desire to strongly express that in which he most deeply believes. Continue reading →

Take More Cash Out Of Markets And Banks-Nomi Prins

prinsGreg Hunter – Best-selling author Nomi Prins says the only thing propping up the system is money printing. The tip of the iceberg was the Greek debt crisis. Prins says, “Before it happened, there was a lot of concern at the central bank level. That wasn’t really discussed very much in the press . . . but I believe behind the scenes there were a lot of fearful conversations about the financial system, not just the relationship of the euro and Greece politically, which was a part of it, but you don’t want any chips to fall off your table. Anything could open the door for a run on liquidity (cash), which is also why I talk about what individuals should do more and more now is try to preserve their own liquidity and to take more cash out of the markets or out of banks to just have on the side before this period of volatility, before we have the actual crash. This is a tenuous situation. I am afraid of things that look like a bail-in up to the level of a bail-in.”

Prins, who was a top Wall Street Banker, says the too-big-to-fail banks are much bigger and will be much harder to save in the next crash. The stats Prins comes up with to illustrate this are stunning. Prins says, “43% more deposits are held by the big six banks in the United States since before the crisis (in 2008). 84% more assets are held by the big six banks and 400% more cash. . . . The point is the big six banks control more deposits, more assets, more trading, more cash than they did before. That’s a fact.”

Prins says, now more than ever before, central bankers are fearful. What are they afraid of? Prins contends, “Their fear is the liquidity that they put into the system through epic unprecedented methods . . . all the money they dumped into the markets to make them appear healthy and the banks controlling much of them, the fear is if they pull that plug, if that liquidity somehow falters . . . that things start to tank and implode very quickly. The only think keeping these markets up, the only thing keeping these banks up is either the artificial funding or the purchasing of bonds. Basically, the central bank interventions is the only thing keeping this going.” Continue reading →

Greece Isn’t The Problem, It’s A Symptom Of The Problem

everythingSimon Black – By plane, Asia and Europe are 12 hours apart. But on the ground the gap feels like decades.

It’s always a shock to leave a place like Vietnam (where I was last week) and fly to Europe.

Vietnam is one of the fastest growing countries in the fastest growing region of the world. It’s exciting.

Whereas here in Europe, sometimes it feels as if nothing’s changed in the last five centuries.

It’s a night and day difference.

All eyes may be on Greece right now, but in reality, the economic malaise is widespread across the continent.

Italy is gasping to exit from its longest recession in history, while unemployment figures across Southern Europe remain at appalling levels.

In France, the unemployment rate is near record highs.

Finland, once a darling of the Eurozone, is posting its worst unemployment figures in 13-years.

Even in Austria growth is flat and sluggish.

It’s clear that Greece is not the problem. It’s a symptom of the problem.

The real problem is that every one of these nations has violated the universal law of prosperity: produce more than you consume.

This is the way it works in nature, and for individuals.

If you spend your entire life going in to debt, making idiotic financial decisions, and rarely holding down a stable job, you’re not going to prosper.

Yet governments feel entitled to continuously run huge deficits, rack up historic debts, and make absurd promises that they cannot possibly keep.

This is a complete and total violation of the universal law of prosperity. And as their financial reckoning days approach, history shows there are generally two options.

The first outcome is that a country is forced to become more competitive– to rapidly change course and start producing more than it consumes.

It’s like a bankrupt company bringing in a turnaround expert: Apple summoning Steve Jobs in its darkest hour.

But here’s the thing: if a nation wants to produce, it needs producers. That means talented employees, professionals, investors, and entrepreneurs.

Lyme Disease Has Reached Near Epidemic Levels

~ admin ~ Leave a comment

lyme diseaseJoshua Krause -It wasn’t that long ago that if you mentioned “Lyme disease” to someone, they probably wouldn’t know what you were talking about. That someone might have even been your doctor, or it may have been you. Without knowing what it entails or how it’s caused, you could be carrying the worsening symptoms and not know why your health is failing in so many ways.

Things have improved in recent years but not for any good reason. The public is more aware of Lyme disease now than they ever have before, but only because the spread of this tick borne disease has reached epidemic levels. This is especially so on the east coast, where Lyme has become downright prolific.

It’s not clear why – experts say climate change, forest regrowth and the spread of deer might all be factors. What is clear is that many more people than before need to watch out for the ticks that carry the infection, CDC says.

“Over time, the number of counties identified as having high incidence of Lyme disease in the northeastern states increased more than 320 percent: from 43 (1993-1997) to 90 (1998-2002) to 130 (2003-2007) to 182 (2008-2012),” Kiersten Kugeler of the CDC’s center in Forth Collins, Colorado, and colleagues write in their report.

The northern coast of New Jersey is no longer a hotbed of new Lyme infections, but now east-central Pennsylvania is, they said.

While it’s impossible to know what is causing it to spread, it’s certainly having a catastrophic effect on public health. For now it’s hard to say how many people are afflicted with this disease every year, but we do know how much it’s costing us. Continue reading →
