Ayatollah Khamenei: US 'embodiment of evil, violence'

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has called the US “the embodiment of evil and violence” whose existence relies on encroachment on other countries' sovereignty.

“The US regime is the embodiment of evil and violence; a crisis-maker and a warmonger,” Ayatollah Khamenei said in a Friday meeting with a group of Iranian Air Force commanders and personnel in Tehran.

“The US regime’s existence has always … depended on encroachment aimed at securing its own interests,” he said, adding the Iranian nation will keep chanting "Death to America" as long as the United States remains evil.

“The US is the embodiment of evil, but still complains why you chant ‘Death to America’,” the Leader said, referring to US President Donald Trump's remarks about Iran in his State of the Union address Tuesday.

Trump said Iran "chants death to America and threatens genocide against the Jewish people," adding "We will not avert our eyes from" the Islamic Republic.

“First of all, I should tell the American officials: 'Death to America' means death to Trump, [US national security adviser] John Bolton, and [US Secretary of State Mike] Pompeo. It means death to American rulers who are currently these individuals,” Ayatollah Khamenei said.

“Death to America means ‘death’ to you, the few people ruling the country; we don’t mean the American nation,” the Leader said.

“Secondly, the Iranian nation will continue to chant the ‘Death to America’ slogan as long as the US remains evil and wicked,” he added.

Every year on February 8, Iranian Air force commanders and personnel meet the Leader to mark the historic allegiance of Iranian Air Force officers with the late founder of the Islamic Republic Imam Khomeini back on February 8, 1979.

The meeting is viewed as a turning point which led to the victory of the Islamic Revolution three days later, sealing the fate of the US-backed Pahlavi regime in Iran.

'Europe in no position to criticize Iran'

Ayatollah Khamenei also dismissed Europe's human rights accusations against Iran, saying European countries are not in a position to criticize the Islamic Republic.

“In the streets of Paris, they attack protesters and blind them, and then shamelessly make human rights demands on us,” the Leader said, referring to Yellow Vest protests which hit France for the 12th straight weekend.

“Do you even know what human rights are?" Ayatollah Khamenei said, addressing Europe. "They never knew what human rights are either today or in the past, and even throughout their history,” he said of the Europeans.

Greek Parliament Ratifies Protocol on Northern Macedonia's Accession to NATO

The Greek Parliament ratified by a narrow margin on Friday the protocol on Northern Macedonia's accession to NATO, according to the results of the vote.

The protocol was backed by 153 lawmakers in the 300-seat legislative body, with 140 lawmakers voting against it and one lawmaker abstaining from the vote.

With the completion of the ratification process of the NATO accession protocol by all 29 NATO member states, the Republic of Macedonia, which has been recently renamed to the Republic of Northern Macedonia, will become a fully-fledged member of NATO with the right to vote on all decisions of the Alliance.

Until June 2018, the name dispute had prevented Macedonia from pursuing membership in NATO and the European Union. Skopje and Athens agreed on a new name, the Republic of North Macedonia. The deal, however, resulted in mass rallies in both countries, with at least 60,000 Macedonians protesting the name change in January.

Fed Bombshell: Central Bankers Discussing If QE Should Be Used "More Regularly"

Just a few days after the San Fran Fed, that incubator of profound economic insight and blatantly money-wasting research which recently found that record amounts in student loans, wait for it, prevent young people from buying homes, casually tossed a bomb in academia when it said that negative rates would have accelerated the recovery from the last recession setting up a strawman to use NIRP during the next recession, just dumped another bombshell.

Speaking to reporters on Friday, Reuters reports that San Fran Fed President Mary Daly said that US central bankers are currently debating whether it should confine its controversial tool of bond buying to purely emergency situations or if it should turn to that tool more regularly.

“In the financial crisis, in the aftermath of that when we were trying to help the economy, we engaged in these quantitative easing policies, and an important question is, should those always be in the tool kit — should you always have those at your ready — or should you think about those are only tools you use when you really hit the zero lower bound and you have no other things you can do,” Daly said after a talk at the Bay Area Council Economic Institute.

So how would the Fed decided which "tool" to use when? Well, according to Daly the answer wasn't clear: "you could imagine executing policy with your interest rate as your primary tool and the balance sheet as a secondary tool, but one that you would use more readily,” she added. “That’s not decided yet, but it’s part of what we are discussing now."

So while it remains unclear what "more regularly" means, one proposal which we are confident will be adopted by the Fed is the following:

EXTRAORDINARY! Reserve Bank of Australia’s Governor Suspends Reality!

This week Australia’s Central Bank Governor Philip Lowe spoke to Australia’s National Press Club about the state of the Australian and global economy, the state of the Australian banking system and the future direction for Australian interest rates.

The Governor’s speech and the subsequent Q&A was one of the most shocking public performances in Australia by an economic official. The speech was full of lies and central bank propaganda.

Moreover, the RBA Governor confirmed that more monetary stimulus – i.e. lower interest rates and quantitative easing is coming to Australia.

Martin North and John Adams in their latest “In the Interests of the People” episode call out the RBA Governor’s extraordinary and false statements.
