Is the Cyprus Banking "Crisis" really a diversion?

Well written! For which I thank you!; quite way above average for y/a.

I figure USA has perhaps as long as 5 years (maybe less) before economic collapse.

When TSHTF and all those Federal Reserve notes come flooding back onto our shores, one would be wise to have dumped paper promises investments and have bought real things, like silver or farm tractors, real estate and....OMG!! I'm getting Jimmy Carter inflation flashbacks!?

Dang! I hat it when this happens ;)

The days of petrodollars are on life support. Soon it will be the end of the Era.

OOPS, forgot to answer your question. Diversion? That depends on how far one wants to zoom out.

Is it a coincidence that The Presidency visited Israel at this moment? Turkey is a NATO member. The ongoing controversy about "The Euro" failing and Europe is wondering if allowing Turkey to become a member seems to have fallen off the news but the problem there is if Turkey is allowed into "The Union", would that mean the rules of the game would allow a huge influx of Muslims into NorthWest Europe?

And what role does Russia play in this game?

Yes, the Cyprus Banking Crisis is a diversion.

Cyprus is close to the real crisis which is in Syria - see map.

In other countries, people are being scared for their own money in the bank which is not the plan right now, but the elite likes to keep people scared about one thing or another, for some reason.

I think what Steve is saying is that the Turks have been bribed and duped by NATO, and so they are the weak link with which the banking cabal has been allowed to poison Cyprus. All the statistics and charts and numbers only belie the facts of the geopolitical realities.

A Crystal Ball "glimpse" into the future of all Socialism(s),

even & especially the "orgy" version of it called the EU.

LTM is correct

Statues go up & then get torn down in the shallow/superficial/temporary "Raves"

that go on during the hatching period in the extended family of "isms".

(then the buzz wears off & the hangover begins)

Reading your third link it hit me that the OWS crowd was flat out delusional. There's no way to kick the can far enough down the road. Their generation will PAY for all the 'FREE STUFF'. One way or another.

End the Turkish occupation and let the country prosper.

They have their own problems and reason to spend.
