Do you remember two years ago, when the DC criminals were claiming Mr Assad needed a good spanking for allegedly gassing his own people? One world leader called their claims ""utter nonsense" and suggested that if Obama had any evidence of these crimes he should present it to the United Nations. Whoops. I believe that moment was a turning point, and a wonderful sign that Mr. Putin was willing to stand-up to the war-mongering Western oligarchy. It was. But his recent statements at The United Nations were even more stunning, where the incredible Mr. Putin served notice of a new order in the Middle East, and in no uncertain terms called-out the West on how 'hypocritical and irresponsible (it is) to make loud declarations about the threat of international terrorism, while turning a blind eye to the channels of financing.' He then stated that 'to play games with terrorists, let alone arm them, are not just short-sighted, but 'fire hazardous.' And with regard to the violence, poverty, and social disaster caused by these imperialists, he asked a simple question: "Do You Realize What You've Done?" Refreshingly, an online poll conducted by The New York Daily News found an overwhelming majority preferred Putin's message to Mr. Peace Prize. Wow! We know Mr. Putin is 'awake' to the myriad of false-flags and war crimes engineered by the criminals in DC and London (and Ottawa too, see below), and perhaps he will be the one to press for prosecution, but he is also a student of Austrian economic theory and sound money. As a younger man and KGB spy, Mr. Putin no doubt witnessed the economic 'hits' that helped cause the collapse of the Ruble and a subsequent default in 1998. The Russian economy was devastated when Mr Putin came to power in 2000, with oligarchs picking up the pieces, cheap. Since then, Russia has recovered and has exchanged a considerable portion of their energy wealth for physical gold, over 26 million ounces since 2005 -- the same year the Russian Government sent a delegate to the first GATA conference in Dawson City, where their man (Bykhov I believe) learned the truth about the central bank price rigging schemes from experts like Embry, Murphy, Salinas and Lipps. Of course Putin knows what GATA knows. So why does this matter? Because Putin just announced his intentions to establish a new order in the Middle East, and I believe he knows intuitively that the existing financial paradigm is equally unsustainable. In this regard, it is conceivable that Russia (and China) are preparing for a gold standard, and if there is a time for a Bretton Woods II, it is now, with the balance sheets of giant banks and hedge funds being 'washed away.' Did you notice that Vlad scored 7 goals on his birthday the other day? It sure is interesting how this magic number 7 keeps popping up isn't it? My suggestion of course is that you take a cue from Putin's playbook, and position into the one form of money without a single broker, bureaucrat or banker standing between you and it.

Deutsche Bank Preannounces 6.3 BILLION Loss, May Cut Dividend

If Deutsche Bank is the next Lehman, we will not know until events are moving at an uncontrollable and accelerating speed. The nature of all fractional-reserve banks - who are by definition bankrupt at all times - is to project an aura of stability until that illusion has already begun to implode. It is by now well-established that truth is the first casualty of all banking crises. There will be little in the way of early warnings. Here's a re-cap of what's happened at Deutsche Bank over the past 15 months:

Something Blew Up In The Global Financial System in Sepetmber

The graph above is evidence that a massive monetization operation was implemented by the Fed in mid-September in an effort to contain the damage from something big that has blown up behind the facade of fraud that has been erected over several years by western Central Banks and their Too Big To Fail appendages. (In this regard) Deutsche Bank, at $75 trillion in holdings, is the largest derivatives player in the world now. Whereas Bear Stearns and Lehman triggered the Great Financial Collapse in the U.S., Deutsche Bank could potentially trigger the collapse of the global financial system.

Its Been 47 Years; Bundesbank STILL Cannot Deliver List of Bars

Frequent followers of the German public campaign "Repatriate our Gold" already know how intensively we have been struggling since 2011 (and longer) with Deutsche Bundesbank to finally - after more than 50 years of external storage of Germany's gold - get credible transparency regarding this matter. One of the oldest demands from our campaign has been (and still is!) the publication of BuBa's gold bar number lists from all four storage locations.

Putins Challenge to The American People: 'Which Party Is The Provocateur Here?'

A UK journalist, John Simpson from the BBC, recently had the opportunity to ask Putin questions regarding his intentions of getting along with the U.S. and Putin's response has been described as "politely schooling" Mr. Simpson on the recent history of Russia-US bilateral relations and US military expansionism the process.

Canada's Military Operations are Illegal Under Canadian Law

The deployment of Canadian Forces overseas to take part in operations in Syria, Iraq, Libya, Ukraine and Yugoslavia have been and are illegal under Article 31 of the National Defence Act yet not one of the major parties has ever raised this issue in parliament nor have any of the media addressed it any of their coverage of these multiple operations. One has to wonder why it is that the rest of us are required to obey to the laws of Canada but the federal government leadership itself and the Armed Forces are not.
