What is it that really “scared the hell” out of the Anglo-Americans?
Could Ukraine become an area of cooperation between Russia and Europe? Could European countries break free?
Concerning Ukraine, it now appears that the fury shown by the Anglo-Americans (that seems really too excessive and reckless even considering recent standards) is due not simply to the danger of losing Ukraine, but to the danger of losing Europe.

The biggest health threat to the US is electropollution. The explosion of iPhones, Blackberries, WiFi, WiMax, video game consoles and even remote-control toys has fundamentally changed our electrical environment. You can’t see it, you can’t taste it, you can’t touch it; but the air all around us is increasingly filled with electromagnetic radiation (EMR) that is penetrating our bodies and disrupting our body chemistry – perhaps forever.

In a paper dated the 22nd of January 2014, bearing the title ‘Information Preservation and Weather Forecasting for Black Holes’, Stephen Hawking has not claimed that black holes don’t exist. He has proposed that the event horizons of alleged black holes do not exist and that only apparent horizons form when gravitational collapse of a body such as a star produces a black hole.

Certains considèrent la zone euro comme le centre névralgique de l’UE, d’autres souhaitent qu’un Parlement propre lui soit dédié. Selon le Laboratoire Européen d’Anticipation Politique, la priorité serait d’inviter les citoyens à réfléchir au sujet.

“Yats” and “Klitsch”, the State Department’s point men in Ukraine are driving a hard bargain, nothing short of “all power to Yats and Klitsch”. However, it doesn’t look as if this is a true reflection of the balance of forces and Obama backing a neo-fascist coup in Ukraine remains an unlikely scenario since it would destroy at one fell swoop his entire foreign policy agenda over Iran, Syria and Palestine. This, however, could perfectly well be the goal of certain elements within the USA dismayed by Obama’s rapprochement with Russia.

The Federal Reserve had been purchasing $85 billion in Treasury and mortgage-backed securities per month, but it announced that it would reduce its monthly pace of purchases to $75 billion in January and to $65 billion in February. In her testimony, Yellen reaffirmed that another reduction in the pace of asset purchases is likely to be announced at the next policy meeting in March.
Yellen cannot continue a zero-interest rate policy and continue tapering QE. QE, the systematic devaluation of the dollar, still the world’s reserve currency, has led to rising prices globally and threatens to provoke a global revolt against US finical hegemony. That is why the Fed is tapering and why interest rates will rise at some point in the none too distant future.
