WakingTimes – Anna Hunt – Cannabinoid Science – A Path Towards Optimum Health – 20 December 2013

The Cannabis plant contains over 60 cannabinoids, which are carbon-containing terpenophenolic compounds concentrated in the viscous resin of the glandular trichomes on the cannabis plant bud. There are psychoactive cannabinoids, such as Delta-9-Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), while others, such as cannabidiol (CBD), have no psychoactive effects while offering profound healing properties.

ZeroHedge – Tyler Durden – Meet Wall Street: Your New Landlord – 20 December 2013

Private Equity

Blackstone Group appears to be trying to oligopolize the business of renting single-family homes in the U.S.. As Bloomberg reports, after the housing crash left more than 7 million foreclosed homes in its wake, the investment firm has spent more than $7.8 billion purchasing about 41,000 single-family homes for rental conversion. The world’s largest private equity firm has quickly become the largest landlord (of rental homes) in the U.S. and in October, Blackstone offered the first-ever “rental-home-backed” security on Wall Street. One has to wonder if this was the plan all along?

ActivistPost – Paul Craig Roberts – Manipulations Rule The Markets – 20 December 2013

The Federal Reserve’s announcement on December 18 that beginning in January its monthly purchases of mortgage-backed financial instruments and US Treasury bonds would each be cut by $5 billion is puzzling, as is the financial press’s account of the market’s response.

The Federal Reserve conveys a contradictory message. The Fed says that improvements in employment and the economy justify cutting back on bond purchases. Yet the Fed emphasizes that it is maintaining its commitment to record low interest rates “well past the time that the unemployment rate declines below 6.5 percent, especially if projected inflation continues to run below the [Open Market] Committee’s 2 percent longer-run goal. When the Committee decides to begin to remove policy accommodation it will take a balanced approach consistent with its longer-run goals of maximum employment and inflation of 2 percent.”

Aisha North – A Short Update On The Solstice Energies – 20 December 2013

Many of you have already stepped into the fast lane, a space where time seems to stand still, and everything about you seems to do the exact opposite. For now, the changes you have gone through already will have made way for what is coming in, and as such, you will find yourself overflowing at times with all of these energetic missives hurtling at you from seemingly all directions. Our words may seem bewildering, as indeed this whole period will seem to be very bewildering to many of you, for it will be difficult to settle in and find a way to describe just what is happening within you. For as you know so well by now, the process referred to as ascension is in all aspects an internal one, whereas your entire programming is being adjusted so that you are finally able to function fully on all of your inherent abilities.

Mish/ Mike Shedlock – Unfit For Next Crisis; Laughable Banking Union Revisited – 20 December 2013

Here is an interesting article in Der Spiegel Online that echoes recent statements of mine. Please consider Der Spiegel Online article: Not Fit for the Next Crisis: Europe’s Brittle Banking Union

 

German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schäuble has negotiated a European banking union suited perfectly to his country’s tastes. It looks like a victory, but it could prove to be very expensive if Europe or Germany face another financial crisis.

World exclusive: terminology table revealed for first time, seen to have no legs

As Ben the Banker lit his blue touch taper this week to the tune of 10 billion bucks, on the same day, slightly higher numbers were being tossed about with recklessly quiet abandon by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).  It announced casually that technical errors (known on the eurovision side of the Pond as ‘glitches’) at two swaps data repositories, which collect and supply regulators with transaction data, had caused the CFTC to under-report the size of the swaps market. By a trifling $55 trillion.

Wes Annac – Driven And Heart-Centered Expression – 20 December 2013

Written by Wes Annac, the Aquarius Paradigm, December 18, 2013

In everything you do, remember that love is with you and that you can access and feel it, even when it seems as if your burning flame has all but gone out. Remember that the pain and stress of this experience, however strong they seem, don’t have to make you forget about love or your infinite ability to feel it.
