Hot Alert -- China Orders Banks to Stop Purchasing US Dollars
In a stunning move, China has suspended some banks from Foreign Exchange markets and ordered other banks to stop buying Dollars.
China's foreign exchange regulator has ordered banks in some of the country's major import and export centers to limit purchases of U.S. dollars this month, three people with direct knowledge said, in the latest attempt to stem capital outflows.
The move comes as China reported its biggest annual drop in foreign exchange reserves on record in 2015, while the central bank has allowed a sharp slide in the Yuan currency to multi-year lows, raising fears of more capital flight.
All banks in certain trading hubs, including Shenzhen, received the order recently, the people added. They declined to be identified because they are not allowed to speak to the media.
The total amount of U.S. dollars sold to clients in January for a bank in one of these hubs cannot exceed the amount sold in December, according to the people.
"They have asked us to limit our purchase amount and there are targets, but it mainly relates to institutions and enterprises, there is no change to the policy on individuals," said one person.

Privacy is GONE, NSA Intrusion and Government Lies, New Reality
Privacy is gone for ordinary citizens. From NSA intrusion into Social Media to protect you and the nation to GPS, surveillance cameras, facial recognition, voice recognition and country with citizens all to willing to surrender their privacy, Big Brother has arrived with a bang.
Bush signed a presidential order in 2002 allowing the National Security Agency to monitor without a warrant the international (and sometimes domestic) telephone calls and e-mail messages of hundreds or thousands of citizens and legal residents inside the United States. The program eventually came to include some purely internal controls - but no requirement that warrants be obtained from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court as the 4th Amendment to the Constitution and the foreign intelligence surveillance laws require.
In other words, no independent review or judicial oversight.
That kind of surveillance is illegal. Period.
The day after this shocking abuse of power became public, President Bush admitted that he had authorized it, but argued that he had the authority to do so. But the law governing government eavesdropping on American citizens is well-established and crystal clear. President Bush's claim that he is not bound by that law is simply astounding. It is a Presidential power grab that poses a challenge in the deepest sense to the integrity of the American system of government - the separation of powers between the legislative and executive branches, the concept of checks and balances on executive power, the notion that the president is subject to the law like everyone else, and the general respect for the "rule of law" on which our democratic system depends.

Cabal Global Take Over - Wake Up 2016
Is a Global Cabal at work? cabal* means a plan secretly devised to accomplish an evil or treacherous end. plot implies careful foresight in planning a complex scheme
Are the events unfolding around the world just random? I don't believe so, I think it's a well orchestrated plan for a New World Order.
Where does this modern day power lie? With presidents, billionaires, celebrities and royalty?
David Rockefeller stated at the Trilateral Commission in June of 1991 stated: We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected the promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world-government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the National autodetermination practiced in past centuries.
Numerous attendees of the Bilderberg Conference are known to also be members of the Council on Foreign Relations, expanding the web of elite to a global network of politicians, bankers, and directors of corporations. Over eighteen countries leaders have attended Bilderberg meetings. The European Union, NATO, United Nations, and World Trade Organization all have representatives present and many corporations have representatives in attendance as well including BP, Heinz, PepsiCo, Shell Oil, Walgreen’s just to name a few.

Rob Kirby-We Are Very Close to the End
On physical gold and silver supplies, precious metals expert Rob Kirby says, “Gold and silver are not as loved here as in the Asian countries. It’s relatively more plentiful here, but that can all change in a very short period of time. At some point, the available stocks in the West will disappear, and when they start to disappear, it will seem like a bolt of lightning coming out of the clear blue sky because they will be gone in no time.”
What is Kirby’s prediction for the price of gold and silver by the end of 2016? Kirby boldly says, “I think it could be many multiples of the price right now.” What do Kirby’s billionaire contact say? Kirby reports, “They say they think we are very close to the end. I don’t want to see the end because it’s not going to be a happy day, not for me, not for you—not anyone. It’s going to change the way we live--dramatically. . . . The rate of these seizures in the equity markets are likely to quicken and intensify. Future rate hikes are off the table. ”

Historic: Heavily Armed Idaho 3 Percenters Roll Up On FBI Compound (Pacific Patriot Network)
This is the very first time in U.S. History that the Federal Bureau of Investigations has ever been confronted by heavily armed members of the Patriot community. The leadership team of the Pacific Patriot Network rolled up on the FBI compound with approximately 20 vehicles and entered into firm, but diplomatic dialogue with FBI agents.
Again, to emphasize the significance of this historic event; the Constitutional Crisis at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge is being peacefully resolved with direct intervention by the PPN.

Migrant Sex Attacks Across Europe
No government wants to talk about it, so under-reporting is common, however, sex attacks by Middle Eastern migrants continue to skyrocket across Europe.
It took Finnish police until Thursday to report a planned gang sex harassment romp by the migrants on New Year’s Eve at Helsinki’s central square and train station.
According to police, around 1,000 young migrant men converged at the central square on New Year’s Eve. However the police had been tipped off that the migrants had planned to gather there to sexually harass women, though they did not disclose how they found out.
The Fins hired extra security guards to patrol the festivities in Helsinki’s central square where around 20,000 people had gathered, but still it was marred by widespread sexual harassment.
Helsinki’s deputy police chief Ilkka Koskimaki told reporters:
“There hasn’t been this kind of harassment on previous New Year’s Eves or other occasions for that matter… This is a completely new phenomenon in Helsinki.”
In the Swedish city of Kalmar, groups of men encircled women on a crowded square. According to Kalmar police spokesman Jahon Bruun the gang:
“… formed rings around the girls and started molesting them.”
“They grabbed their breasts and genitals. In some cases they tried to drag girls into a waiting car, but those girls escaped, luckily.”
Sweden is now known as the rape capitol of the world so it may be no surprise that the Swedes are fleeing their country in record numbers.
In 2015, over 51 thousand Swedes left for good – the most in that nation’s history.
Most headed for the U.S., or UK, and a similar number went to Spain. The rest scattered to warmer climes, including Thailand, France and Italy.
In Vienna, Austria, an unknown number of women were attacked by migrant men, however the Chief of Police, Gerhard Pursti withheld the information until Germany started to come clean over the Cologne attacks.
Pursti announced that:
“Women should in general not go out on the streets at night alone, they should avoid suspicious looking areas and also when in pubs and clubs should only accept drinks from people they know.”
In Cologne, Germany, police have now revealed that they found a note on one of those arrested with Arabic to German translations of sexual comments the men could make to the German women, plus the translated words: “I’ll kill you.”
In normally tranquil Norway, Police say they have lost control of Oslo, the nation’s capital.
According to the largest newspaper in Oslo, the Aftenposten – a newspaper that is normally pro-Islamic and very multicultural:
“The women are being raped at night in Oslo, and the men are robbed more than ever.”
The migrants cruise the city and attack in gangs.
“They play on fear, violence, and severe threats.”
“[The police say] that they have no way of halting the robberies. We have lost the city.”
I’m still reporting from Washington. Good day.

Another Charlie Hebdo False Flag Attack in Paris -- Mike Rivero
What Really Happened Show: Michael Rivero Friday 1/8/2016: (Commercial Free Video)
-- Date: January 08, 2016 -- Michael Rivero is the webmaster of http://whatreallyhappened.com/ and host of the What Really Happened radio shows on the Genesis Communications Network. Formerly with NASA, Michael transitioned his image processing skills (along with a brief stint as an actor) into the then-new motion picture computer animation field and has worked on films such as "Star Trek", "The Day After Tomorrow", and has supervised visual effects on "Brainscan," "LOST", and "Hawaii Five-0." Michael has taken a sabbatical from film work to focus all his efforts on peace activism. Michaels foray into blogging began before the word was even invented, and happened almost by accident when he spotted a suspicious photograph being broadcast on ABC news in 1994 related to the death of White House deputy Council Vincent Foster. Since that sudden beginning, Michaels website has expanded to cover diverse topics including the JFK assassination, the accidental shoot-down of TWA 800, election fraud, health issues, Saddams non-existent nuclear weapons, 9-11, the economy, and of course, the lies used to trick the United States into wars of conquest on Afghanistan, Iraq, and now Iran. Michael resides in Hawaii with his wife Claire, who is a composer and creates much of theme music used on the What Really Happened radio show.

“The modern banking system manufactures money out of nothing. The process is, perhaps, the most astounding piece of sleight of hand that was ever invented. Banks can in fact inflate, mint and un-mint the modern ledger-entry currency.” Major L L B Angus
The few who understand the system will either be so interested in its profits or so dependent on its favours that there will be no opposition from that class, while on the other hand, the great body of the people mentally incapable of comprehending the tremendous advantage that capital derives from the system will bear its burdens without complaint and perhaps without even suspecting that the system is inimical to their interests.
The Rothschild Bros
"Debts must be collected, bonds and mortgages must be foreclosed as rapidly as possible. When, through a process of law, the common people lose their homes they will become more docile and more easily governed through the influence of the strong arm of government, applied by a central power of wealth under control of leading financiers.
This truth is well known among our principal men now engaged in forming an imperialism of Capital to govern the world.
By dividing the voters through the political party system, we can get them to expend their energies in fighting over questions of no importance. Thus by discreet action we can secure for ourselves what has been so well planned and so successfully accomplished."
