2015 Marks The Start Of The Great Deflation
Another Deflationary Recession
The price of oil is crashing; the same crash is seen in the price of iron. In fact, this decline in commodity prices is seen across a broad spectrum of the world's commodities.
Why?
World trade is markedly declining. In fact, the Dry Baltic Index (which measures global sea cargo traffic) shows that world trade crashed after the financial meltdown of 2008 and didn't recover.
After 2008, the world's major stock markets quickly recovered because of massive creation of money out of thin air ("quantitative easing") by America, China and Japan. Unfortunately, little of this newly created money trickled down into the real economy to be loaned to start new businesses or increase wages.
Governments can fraudulently change the way they statistically measure unemployment and gross domestic product, but eventually the truth is revealed.
More people are unemployed and homeless now that in pre-2008. The average wage is decreasing. National gross domestic products are decreasing.
My prediction is that the world is entering a deflationary recession - just like it did at the start of the last Great Depression in 1930.

Satellite Mapping Of Fires In The Amazon Rain Forest
Earth's Lungs Are On Fire
The Amazon Is On Fire
The world's forests convert carbon dioxide into oxygen. Thus these forests are the lungs of our planet.
Now one of the world's biggest forests, the Amazon, is experiencing a record drought, and a record number of forest fires. These fires are producing vast amounts of carbon dioxide which will further increase global warming, and further increase the risk of drought and forest fires. This Summer Should Be A Record Year For Forest Fires In North America
The West Coast of North America is undergoing another year of record warming. As a result, this summer should bring another drought to these forests.
These forests have been severely damaged by pine beetle infestation; hence thousands of square miles of dead forest is just waiting for summer lightning to set it ablaze. This will further add to the carbon dioxide in our atmosphere; hence further increase global warming.
Eventually we will reach the tipping point at which global warming becomes unstoppable. Some scientists believe we have already passed this tipping point.

This Is The Next Step In The Dangerous Financial War With Russia
Like All Wars, This Could End Badly
Right now, it looks like America and its allies are "winning" the financial war with Russia. The Russian economy appears to be seriously wounded.
However, let's remember history.
Hitler came to power when the Allies ruined the German economy after World War I with crippling war reparation payments. The resulting hyperinflation of 1921-22 destroyed the average German's life savings. Once the Germans were all reduced to poverty; they voted for Hitler and his insane policies.
So history tells us that a starving middle class will follow a mad man who lusts for power.
In war, even financial war, things never turn out as expected.

Our Allies In The Middle East Are A Bunch Of Criminals
Why Islamic Militants Hate Us
Iraq
I am very interested in ethics (as you can see by reading my "Life Skills Handbook"). Thus I am appalled at how our mass media completely ignores how unethical America's behavior has been in the Middle East.
America's invasion of Iraq was illegal under international law. Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11, and had no weapons of mass destruction. All those allegations turned out to be lies. Nevertheless, without provocation, America invaded Iraq.
Iraq ranks 5th in the world in terms of proven oil reserves (after Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, Canada, and Iran). After the American invasion of Iraq, control of the majority of Iraqi oil fields was transferred to America and its allies. Shell is currently building in Iraq the largest oil refinery in the Middle East.
A few years ago, America removed its "combat troops" from Iraq, but left sufficient "garrison" troops to still man its major military bases in Iraq. These military bases are strategically located next to the major Iraqi oil fields that America and its allies control.
America also "privatized war" in Iraq by immediately replacing its departing combat troops with tens of thousands of lawless mercenaries (called "private security contractors"). Unfortunately, these mercenaries are proving to be ineffective against ISIS forces; hence America is sending combat troops back to Iraq to protect Iraqi oil fields.
America has played "divide-and-conquer" in Iraq by politically playing one Iraqi ethnic group off against another. The result is that Iraq now is essentially a failed state with little or no central government.
The central Iraqi government that does exist is one of the world's most corrupt governments, and is despised by Iraqi civilians. America turns a blind eye towards the constant slaughter of civilians done by Iraqi government forces and accompanying militias. All that America cares about is protection of its Iraqi oil fields. Libya
In 2011, America bombed Libya and reduced it to a failed state. Using false American intelligence reports, the UN was duped into passing a resolution to authorize this invasion to prevent "current attacks against civilians", which it said might constitute "crimes against humanity". After the war was over, according to Senator Ron Paul, America was forced to admit that there was no proof that the Libyan dictator was planning a genocide against his people.
Thus in retrospect, given that there were no "crimes against humanity" planned by the Libyan dictator, the American invasion of Libya was illegal under international law. However, the UN believed the false American intelligence reports of a pending "genocide" and authorized America's destruction of Libya.
Before America and its allies destroyed Libya; it had free universal health care, free education and highly subsidized housing. Now all of that has disappeared as its cities are being destroyed by civil war.
However, America and its allies now control the majority of Libya's oil fields. Libya has the world's 9th largest proven oil reserves. Palestine
Last summer's destruction of much of Gaza by our ally, Israel, was barbaric.
http://www.youtube.com/embed/fdoYZ1-9XsM
Israel has blockaded Gaza since 2007; thus Israel converted Gaza into the world's largest, open-air prison. Under this blockade, Israel prevented any goods arriving or leaving Gaza by air or boat, and severely restricted people or goods arriving or leaving by land. Basically, all Israel allowed into Gaza was food and limited building supplies.
For 7 weeks after July 8th, 2014, Israel shelled and bombed Gaza in retaliation for continued Palestinian rocket shelling of Israel. These Palestinian rockets militarily were totally ineffective, and only served as a political protest against the continued Israeli blockade of Gaza.
This July-August Israeli attack on Gaza was a slaughter.
Over 2,310 Palestinians were killed (including 513 children) and between 10,895 and 11,100 were wounded. 66 Israeli soldiers, 5 Israeli civilians (including one child) and one Thai civilian were killed and 469 IDF soldiers and 261 Israeli civilians were injured. The UN reported that 69–75% of the Palestinian casualties were civilians.
A few days after Israel stopped shelling Gaza; virtually all mention of the suffering of the Palestinians in Gaza disappeared from the western mass media. It was as if this slaughter of civilians never happened, and Western nations could care less. Do We Deserve To Be Hated?
People of the Middle East don't hate us because of our democracy. They hate us because we are on a military crusade to conquer the Middle East and steal their oil.
Our invasions of Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya were all illegal under international law. In the eyes of history, we will be recorded as the evil doers. Radical Islamic militants are simply fighting back against our invading their lands.
History will eventually show that it would have been much cheaper if America had just paid for this Middle East oil, rather than steal it using military force.
What is the solution?
We have more than enough oil now in North and South America. We don't need to steal the Middle East's oil. We must take our armies out of the Middle East before our economy is bled to death by endless war.

Militarists (Both Russian and NATO) Are Marching Us Closer To The Next War
Ukraine
Ukraine used to represent one-quarter of the population of the former Soviet Union. So, in 2014, when war broke out between Ukraine and Russia, the CIA must have applauded this war between former elements of the Soviet Union.
When Ukraine started to lose this war; America and Europe retaliated against Russia with economic sanctions which really hurt the Russian economy. Russia then increased its military support of the Ukrainian rebels.
Once the Ukrainian rebels started to look like they might win this war; America and Europe increased economic sanctions on Russia and threatened to cut Russia out of the SWIFT banking system, something that could have a devastating impact on the Russian economy.
Now Putin is strongly hinting that if Russia is cut out of the SWIFT banking system, Russia would go to war with NATO. That is not an idle threat because being cut out of the SWIFT banking system would effectively cut off Russia's access to foreign credit. If Russia lost access to foreign credit; its economy could collapse
So the financial stakes are now extremely high. One miscalculation and we're at war with Russia.
Once again our militarists have us sleepwalking into the next war - except this time it could be nuclear.

Why Should A War Involving One-Half Billion People Be Allowed To Incinerate 7 Billion?
The Pending War Between America And Russia Must Be Stopped
I think Western leaders have underestimated just how dangerous Putin is.
My psychiatric opinion is that Putin has a very malignant combination of Sociopathy plus Narcissistic and Paranoid Personality Disorders. This dangerous combination of personality disorders has been found in all of history's most dangerous tyrants (e.g., Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Mussolini).
The bottom line is that Putin is mad enough to start a nuclear war.
The West has to stand up to Putin to stop his reoccupying all of the lost former possessions of the Soviet Union. Unfortunately, neither Putin nor NATO seems prepared to back down from their increasingly more threatening postures. Putin keeps on annexing Ukraine, and America-NATO keeps on crippling Russia using financial warfare.
The combined populations of America and Russia are slightly more than one-half billion.
There are 7 billion of us on this planet. It is grossly unfair that a nuclear war between one-half billion people could well terminate all 7 billion of us.
Why should only 7% of the world's population be allowed to decide whether we all live or die?

One Miscalculation And We Could Be At War With Russia
Russian Bombers
In the past months, Russia has repeatedly flown its fighters and bombers with their transponders turned off into European air space. In that way, these military aircraft don't show up on civilian radar.
It is only a matter of time until one of these Russian aircraft accidentally crashes into a civilian airliner, or is shot down for violating European airspace.
If Europe shots down a Russian bomber; this could be all Putin needs to start a war with NATO. With the Russian economy in rapid decline; Putin may calculate that he needs a war to boost his popularity with disgruntled Russians. I believe he is mad enough to try this. Russia Being Kicked Out of the SWIFT Banking System
As I posted yesterday, Russia has already threatened to go to war if America orchestrates having Russia kicked out of the SWIFT banking system. America has announced that there is a real possibility that it will kick Russia out of the SWIFT banking system. So the battle lines are clearly drawn. Sleepwalking To War
I am very concerned that these important events aren't being given much coverage in our Western mass media. Russian nuclear bombers flying over the English Channel with their transponders turned off should be a major news story. Instead, our Western mass media seems totally preoccupied with ISIS beheadings and sports news.
Remember our last war - the one with Libya - where America and its allies were suddenly at war before the world had a chance to independently assess its fraudulent American intelligence "findings". Our mass media and leaders purposely kept us in the dark about Libya and sleepwalked us into that illegal war.
Under international law, one nation can not intervene in the internal disputes of another nation. The reason the UN okayed war with Libya was that America reported that the Libyan dictator was about to attack his own people and commit a genocide. After the war, this claim was proven false. Hence, there was no legal reason for America to attack Libya.
My fear is that we will again be led like sheep into another war. However, this time we are going up against a sociopath with his finger on a nuclear trigger.

(By The National Post)
Mr. Gorbachev was one of the architects of the peaceful dismantling of communist rule in Eastern Europe.
He has increasingly sounded ominous warnings about the path events are taking in Ukraine. Earlier in January, he reportedly told a German magazine that he feared a nuclear confrontation was possible if things begin to escalate.
“The statements and propaganda on both sides make me fear the worst. If anyone loses their nerve in this charged atmosphere, we will not survive the next few years,” he said.
“I do not say such things lightly….I am a man with a conscience. But that’s how it is. I’m really extremely worried.”

We May Never Become Interstellar Space-Travelers, But Others Already Have
Another Good UFO Sighting
Here is a video of yet another UFO sighting.
This whole UFO phenomenon is quite strange because we keep seeing these UFO; yet they never try to communicate with us.
I would like to speculate on the reason for this non-communication.
I believe that extraterrestrial, interstellar-traveling civilizations would have strict rules about not interfering in the evolution of other species. Thus, if we are so dumb as to destroy ourselves; an interstellar-traveling civilization wouldn't intervene to save us from our fate.
In this way, only the intelligent, peace-loving civilizations get to evolve and finally become interstellar-travelers.
Since we are on the verge of destroying our species either by climate change or nuclear war; it is unlikely that we will ever become interstellar space-travelers.
Nevertheless, it is comforting to know that other, more peace-loving, extraterrestrial civilizations have already become interstellar space-travelers.
