ZeroHedge – Bankers Are Behind The Wars – 19 April 2014

Former managing director of Goldman Sachs – and head of the international analytics group at Bear Stearns in London (Nomi Prins) –  notes:

Throughout the century that I examined, which began with the Panic of 1907 … what I found by accessing the archives of each president is that through many events and periods, particular bankers were in constant communication [with the White House] — not just about financial and economic policy, and by extension trade policy, but also about aspects of World War I, or World War II, or the Cold War, in terms of the expansion that America was undergoing as a superpower in the world, politically, buoyed by the financial expansion of the banking community.

No Reason Why Things With West Can’t Be Normal Again – Putin – 19 April 2014

Russia sees no reason why its relationship with the West can’t normalize, President Putin said amid growing tension between the opposing camps over the ongoing political crisis in Ukraine.

“You know, it doesn’t depend on us, or rather on us alone. It depends on our partners. I believe there is nothing hindering normalization and normal cooperation,” the Russian president told Rossiya channel’s news show “Sergey Brilev’s News on Saturday”.

Vladimir Putin added that he is on good terms with former Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg, who was selected to replace NATO’s Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen in October.

John Ward – Me And Software Sales Gangsterism: A Brief Update – 19 April 2014

AOL CAPONE

I was going to write a piece about David Cameron this morning, but I’d got halfway through preparing another piece requiring a photo download from my camera-phone when the laptop got uppity. As the mobile predates the new pc, it didn’t recognise the hardware – and so ordered me to find the software. This I did….

Marlene Swetlishoff – Archangel Gabriel – 19 April 2014

Beloved Ones,

Let us have discourse on the quality of love that we call poise. This quality is essential in the inner workings of each soul. It manifests from within the person who has an unshakable sense of certainty and self-confidence in their own value and ability. This quality is also developed throughout one’s lifetime and each decision rightly made add to the strength of this quality in one’s everyday existence. When a person follows the guidance found within their heart and gives credence to that still small voice within, they develop mastery over each challenge or obstacle that may arise and gain mastery of self, and as a positive consequence. The inherent quality of poise, dignity and composure in their demeanour is the result. People who have this quality of love within them are self possessed, have dignity of manner and are always graceful and self assured. Because of their balance, direction and readiness, they inspire confidence in those with whom they interact and others find them attractive.

Judith Dagley – The Celestial Team – The Grand Crossroad – 19 April 2014

Beloved, this is the celestial team. We greet You with LOVE as always. We also feel a sense a sense of urgency to transmit our message to You at this moment of your time, this weekend before the peaking of your Cardinal Grand Cross. In honor of the urgency, we will concentrate our message into a few well chosen words, rather like a meditation, for we do not want to risk losing your attention.

It is most important, on this weekend before your Grand Cross, that You pay scrupulous attention to your emotions, for they are your true compass at this “time.”  It is most important that You do not fall asleep in habitual  methods of running on the “treadmill of logic.”  We tell You this because You ARE at a crossroads, as is everyone that is part of the ALL of your collective.

Ann Albers – Messages From Ann And The Angels – 19 April 2014

MESSAGE FROM THE ANGELS

My dear friends, we love you so very much.

In all things you have choice, and while you might not see the choices in front of you so clearly, they are nonetheless there. Even if you see no options in the external world, you always have the ability to choose how you will respond to life. You have the ability to choose how you will respond to other human beings. And you have the ability to choose how you will respond to you very own thoughts and feelings. So in essence you are never ever trapped in a “bad” situation because you can choose to respond with love. And in so doing, you change your vibration and therefore what you will attract in the very next moment. It only takes a second of stepping into a more loving space to change your entire future.

Steve Lendman – Kiev Violates Four-Party Agreement – 19 April 2014

The ink wasn’t even dry. On April 17, deal terms was struck. A previous article discussed them. Hold the cheers. They’re not worth the paper they’re written on.

Washington negotiates duplicitously. Promises made are systematically broken. Don’t expect this time to be different.

Kiev’s illegitimate putschists didn’t surprise. They violated agreement terms. They did so straightaway. They acted with full US support. More on this below.
