2014-11-15 Also ISIL rebels against the US Dollar/banking system
======================
ISIL (Daa'sh) is not alone. The BRICS group are the leaders of the rebellion against the US Dollar and the US dominated banking system. They too are reducing their US Dollar reserves and increasing their reliance on physical gold. And even the Swiss will vote in less than a couple of weeks on a referendum to force their central bank to double its gold reserves. Germany unsuccessfully tried a couple of years ago to get back from the US huge gold reserves, which were transferred to the custody of the US in the wake of WWII...
Economists estimate the average lifespan of a fiat currency at 25 years. Therefore, the US Dollar is a notable exception, but how long that will last is unclear at this point...
With it, one must remember that basic problem in any economy, which is based on fundamental Islam - the prohibition against charging interest among Muslims.
The problem is common to all three Abrahamic religions.
In Judaism - it was realized and addressed about 2,000 years ago through a rabbinic acrobatics, which circumvented the biblical edict.
In Christianity - the Catholic church left banking to the Jews for hundreds of years. But during the Renaissance, started forming charitable banks - Monte d'Pieta'. And today, the Catholic church has of course no authority over the issue (except for the Vatican Bank, which appears unconcerned about the issue... and many others... )
However, Islam never addressed the issue, and some historians claim that it is the downfall of any political entity based on fundamental Islam.
Islamist group announces plans to create its own currency, in what one researcher describes as a pitch to achieve statehood.

2014-11-15 UKRAINE: Euro 260 million in unlawful transfer from EU for gas purchase for the winter

2014-11-15 UKRAINE: Euro 260 million in unlawful transfer from EU for gas purchase for the winter

Scandalous: The European Union has transferred the Ukraine financial aid amounting to 260 million euros from the euro rescue package. However, the Ukraine is not member of the European Union, the euro still use them as official means of payment. The euro bailout financed by the EU Member States from taxpayers. Apart from the fact, that the Ukraine from this pot never may have money, this is our all tax money, what there is squandering.
The Ukrainian Government reports on its website: "In the context of financial cooperation between the Ukraine and the European Union, the Ukraine has received a loan of 260 million euros (the second and third tranche of financial assistance of the EU)."
The borrowing rate of the loan is 1.375 percent. The due date of the loan commitment is the 4th October 2024.
The 260 million euros were granted as part of EU macro-financial assistance amounting to EUR 610 million. The next tranche of EUR 250 million is planned for the February 2015.
The head of the capital markets Analysis Department of Robert Halver of Baader Bank told the German economic news: "the EUR 260 million coming from the euro rescue package. It is absorbed capital in free capital markets in the form of Government securities. The interest rate will be less than 1.375 percent. But at the moment nothing is known at the interest rate. The EU Commission is expected to announce the in the coming days or weeks. Here to mention that the Ukraine aid does not consist of money of the ECB. The political symbolism of this aid has a high priority."
The EU financial assistance will be mainly in the purchase of natural gas from Russia. Because the Ukraine wants to buy year end approximately a billion cubic metres of natural gas from Russia. The announced Energy Minister Juri Prodan in Kiev on Friday.

2014-11-14 OccupyTLV: Tel-Aviv muni stopped garbage collection // מאהל המחאה ת"א: עיריית ת"א הפסיקה את פינוי הזבל

Mr Reuven Zluf
Deputy CEO, Tel-Aviv Municipality

RE: Volevlsky-Karny park - garbage collection was terminated and most garbage cans removed.

Dear Mr Zluf:
For over a week no garbage collection is in operation in the Volovelsky-Karny park and most of the green garbage cans were removed.
I hope that this is a case of a human error, and not a repeat of the Tel-Aviv Municipality conduct a year ago. Then, I had to engage in lengthy correspondence and regularly send photographs of the garbage situation in the park, since Municipality staff issued false reports. As part of the situation then, I also initiated an international event "Tel-Aviv - Trash Party", to which senior Municipality officers were invited.... (the invitation is enclosed, and Attorney Kalai was provided with links to the camp archive, where he may find the correspondence, which lasted for months).
Last year, the evidence led to the clear conclusion that the unbecoming conduct was orchestrated by the Quarter Director's office. Now, since there is also a matter (where I am not a party) pending before the court, should I assume that the matter was also coordinated with the Legal Department?
If this is not a human error, should I assume that this is a collective punishment retaliatory action against "ungrateful street persons" (as senior Municipality officers were quoted by the press)?
I hope that you would be able to address the situation immediately, and I will get back to you in this regard in the middle of next wee to report on the situation in the field.
Gratefully,

הנידוןגן וולובלסקי-קרני - הופסק פינוי האשפה ונלקחו מרבית המכלונים הירוקים

מר זלוף הנכבד,
כבר מעל לשבוע שאין מתבצע פינוי אשפה בגן וולובלסקי-קרני ונלקחו מרבית המכלונים הירוקים.
אני מקווה שזאת טעות אנוש, ואין כאן חזרה לדגם ההתנהלות של עיריית ת"א לפני שנה.  אז נאלצתי לעסוק בהתכתבות ממושכת ולשלוח באופן סדיר צילומים של מצבת האשפה בגן, כיוון שפקידי עירייה שלחו דיווחים כוזבים.  במסגרת המצב אז, גם יזמתי את האירוע הבינלאומי "תל אביב - חגיגה בזבל", אליו הוזמנו גם פקידי העירייה הבכירים.. (ההזמנה מועתקת להלן, ועו"ד חגי קלעי קיבל קישורים לארכיון המאהל, שם יוכל למצוא את ההתכתבות, שנמשכה חודשים), 
בשנה שעברה, הראיות הובילו למסקנה הברורה, שההתנהלות הבלתי הולמת תואמה על ידי משרד מנהל הרובע.  עתה, כיוון שיש גם עניין (שאיני צד בו) העומד ותלוי בבית המשפט, האם צריך לשער שהעניין גם תואם עם המחלקה המשפטית?
אם אין זאת טעות אנוש, האם עלי להסיק שזאת פעולת תגמול קולקטיבית נגד "דרי רחוב כפויי טובה" (כפי שצוטטו בכירים בעירייה בתקשורת)?
אקווה שתוכל לטפל בעניין מידית, ואחזור אליך בנידון באמצע השבוע הבא לדווח על המצב בשטח.
בתודה,
