SWIFT Suspension? EU Parliament Furious about NSA Bank Spying
By Gregor-Peter Schmitz in Brussels
Members of the European Parliament are furious with US spying.
Revelations the US is spying on international bank transfers has angered European parliamentarians. Some are calling for the suspension of the SWIFT deal between the EU and US. “Washington must make clear where it stands,” says one.
The recent revelations regarding the degree to which the US intelligence agency NSA monitors bank data in the European Union has infuriated many in Europe. “Now that we know that which we had long been suspected, we have to protest loudly and clearly,” Jan Philipp Albrecht, a legal expert for the Green Party in the European Parliament, told SPIEGEL ONLINE. He is demanding a suspension of the SWIFT agreement, which governs the transfer of some bank data from the EU to anti-terror authorities in the United States. http://www.spiegel.de/international/europe/nsa-spying-european-parliamentarians-call-for-swift-suspension-a-922920.html

Brazil Spurns U.S. State Visit Invitation Over NSA Spying
By Denver Nicks @DenverNicks
Sept. 17, 2013
President Dilma Rousseff of Brazil has postponed a planned official visit to Washington amid fallout over revelations that the U.S. has been spying on her government, the Associated Press reports. Leaks from former-National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden revealed, among other things, extensive spying by the U.S. on countries in Latin America, for which regional heavyweights like Mexico and Brazil already rebuked the U.S. Brazil in particular has reportedly been a primary target of NSA spying—with reports by Brazil’s Globo TV, alleging the agency had spied extensively on the internal communications of the Rousseff administration and on the country’s state-owned oil company Petrobras. The allegations awoke the region’s age-old distrust and resentment of yanqui imperialism.
Rousseff’s visit, originally scheduled for next month, was to be the first such visit of Obama’s second term, an invitation extended to mark “Brazil’s economic, political and diplomatic rise in the world,” Christopher Sabatani, senior director of policy for the Council of the Americas told TIME.
Indefinitely postponing—in effect, canceling—an official state visit is a symbolic and significant move. Brazil’s last official state visit to the United States, with full state dinner and all attendant pomp and circumstance, was nearly two decades ago, in 1995. According to the Brazilian president’s office, Obama called Rousseff late Monday in an attempt to coax her into keeping to the plan, but he reportedly refused her demand that the U.S. issue an official public apology for its spying program, leading Rousseff to call off the trip.

Jobs champion Janet Yellen leads Fed race as Larry Summers forced out
Global markets are euphoric over the defeat of Larry Summers, blocked by Senate Democrats from taking over the US Federal Reserve. His ties to Wall Street doomed him.
By Ambrose Evans-Pritchard
7:30PM BST 16 Sep 2013
Yields on 10-year US Treasuries plummeted, cutting borrowing costs worldwide. The US dollar slumped. Stock markets soared in Asia and Europe as investors embraced “risk”, from copper to the Australian dollar. Such is the potency of Summers’ name.
The assumption is that President Barack Obama will have to turn to the “dovish” Janet Yellen to replace Ben Bernanke at the helm of the Fed, still the world’s monetary hegemon. This will ensure looser money for longer, or so the argument goes. The Fed will be slower to wind down quantitative easing (QE), a tapering process likely to begin this week.

Republicans announced a last-ditch budget showdown with Barack Obama on Wednesday, threatening imminent votes that could paralyse the government within weeks if the president doesn’t postpone his flagship healthcare initiative, cut taxes and permit the Keystone oil pipeline.
Bowing to pressure from his conservative wing, House speaker John Boehner said Republicans would pass a budget bill on Friday that included measures to withhold funding from the Affordable Care Act, known as Obamacare.

23,116,928 to 20,618,000: Households on Food Stamps Now Outnumber All Households in Northeast U.S.
September 17, 2013 – 12:31 PM
By Terence P. Jeffrey
(CNSNews.com) – A record 23,116,928 American households were enrolled in the federal government’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)—AKA food stamps—during the month of June, according to data released this month by the Department of Agriculture.
That outnumbers the 20,618,000 households that the Census Bureau estimated were in the entire Northeastern United States as of the second quarter of 2013.

Updates on WW III / ameriKan 4th Reich / Syria Hypocrisy
Assad, unlike Qadafi or Hussein, never said a single negative word about the US before he was brutally ambushed. His war crime? Being in between Gas Fields and Europe, and of declining the Qatari pipeline route through Syria because of his alliance with Russia.
The US uses “chemical weapons” to execute about 45 people on death row each year. It is the only Western Country that still executes its own citizens. Besides US controlled patsy nations like Saudi Arabia and Iraq, only China and Russia execute more than a few criminals per year.
The US used white phosphorous and depleted Uranium in Fallujah Iraq, a city of 325,000 people. Birth defects are 14 times higher than Hiroshima. Whatever experiments the US was conducting, people of Fallujah have the highest rate of genetic damage in any population ever to have existed.
More than half the babies born in Fallujah from 2007-2010 have birth defects.
Syrian Civil War, the Arab Springs, Libya, Egypt, Tunisia, all of these countries are being flooded by foreign Jihad soldiers from all over the world. Only the US CIA has the assets to make this happen. The wars are funded by Qatar and Saudi Arabia, who hope to profit from any new gas pipeline to Europe that will someday result from all this Middle East regime change.
Free Syrian Army, Syrian Islamic Liberation Front, Al-Tawhid Brigade, Mujahideen, Syrian Islamic Front, Al-Nusra Front,
Islamic State of Iraq, and the Levant Foreign Militants and many other mercenaries, are all trained, armed, and funded by the US, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar. (US lapdog Qatar is by far the richest nation per capita, 30% richer than its nearest competitor)
– Anyone can see the US without Russia to blame acts behaves like a “World Superpower” in the same way that Nazi Germany once did when it formed its 16 nation Axis alliance and then seized puppet states as it became a world superpower for a while, before its currency and society completely collapsed.

The White House has until now been talking down Mrs Yellen in a clumsy whispering campaign, but has backed itself into corner – the monetary equivalent of the Syrian crisis.
