HOARDING OF GOLD AND SILVER
JAMES 5:1-3
1 Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.
2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.
3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.

17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.
EZEKIEL 7:19
19 They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed:(CONFISCATED) their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.

Policy Makers Grapple With Market Turmoil: Fed Minutes-Jana Randow-Updated on February 17, 2016 — 2:20 PM EST-BLOOMBERG
Federal Reserve policy makers debating their outlook for interest rates last month expressed concern that the fall in commodity prices and the rout in financial markets increasingly posed risks to the U.S. economy.“Participants judged that the overall implications of these developments for the outlook for domestic economic activity was unclear but they agreed that uncertainty had increased,” according to minutes of the Federal Open Market Committee’s Jan. 26-27 meeting released Wednesday in Washington. “Many saw these developments as increasing the downside risks to the outlook.”Policy makers, who projected in December that they’d raise interest rates four times this year, are grappling with the fallout of market turbulence that has cast doubt over the economic outlook globally. Fed Chair Janet Yellen suggested in congressional testimony last week that the central bank could delay its plans for tighter policy to assess how the economy reacts to current headwinds.The minutes go into more detail than the FOMC’s statement on policy makers’ concerns about the risks to the U.S. economy. While voting members “generally agreed” they couldn’t assess the balance of risks to the outlook in the statement, officials “observed that if the recent tightening of global financial conditions was sustained, it could be a factor amplifying downside risks,” according to the report.-Shares Climb-Stocks rallied for a third day, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average rising more than 200 points, as the year’s most-battered shares continued to recover and energy shares climbed with oil prices.Another part of the minutes indicated that a minority of policy makers judged that recent developments had “increased the level of downside risks or that the risks were no longer balanced.”“While participants continued to expect that gradual adjustments in the stance of monetary policy would be appropriate, they emphasized that the timing and pace of adjustments will depend on future economic and financial-market developments and their implications for the medium-term economic outlook,” the minutes said.Officials agreed that incoming labor-market indicators had been “encouraging,” while data on spending and production were “disappointing.”-Less Joblessness-The jobless rate fell to 4.9 percent in January and underemployment dropped to levels last observed before the collapse of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. Economic growth in the U.S. slowed to an annualized rate of 0.7 percent in the fourth quarter as households tempered spending and businesses cut back on capital investment and adjusted inventories.“A number of participants were concerned about the potential drag on the U.S. economy from the broader effects of a greater-than-expected slowdown in China” and other emerging-market economies, the minutes said.Policy makers noted that the further decline in energy prices and an additional appreciation of the dollar “likely implied that inflation would take somewhat longer than previously anticipated to rise” to 2 percent.The Fed’s preferred gauge of prices has languished below that target for more than three years. The rate rose 0.6 percent in the 12 months through December, the fastest pace in a year.“A few participants noted that direct evidence that inflation was rising toward 2 percent would be an important element of their assessment of the outlook and of the appropriate path for policy,” according to the minutes.-Yellen Testimony-Yellen told U.S. lawmakers last week that monetary policy is “by no means” on a preset course, and any decision to change the federal funds rate target of 0.25 percent to 0.5 percent will be data dependent.Investors weren’t pricing in any hikes in 2016 heading into Wednesday’s release of the minutes. Traders saw a 6 percent chance of a rate increase at the FOMC’s next meeting March 15-16, federal funds futures showed at 11 a.m. New York time.The FOMC also discussed a proposal to add “fan charts” to quarterly economic projections to illustrate uncertainty around the forecasts, the minutes said. They reached no agreement, with some policy makers concerned that the charts would be “challenging for the general public to interpret” and raising questions including whether federal-funds charts would show the rate path potentially extending below zero.Yellen asked the subcommittee working on the initiative to continue to look into the possibility of incorporating a graphical depiction of uncertainty into the projections, according to the minutes.(Updates with stocks in fifth paragraph.)
A HIGH RISK GLOBAL INFRASTRUCTURE AGENDA-THE ROLE OF MUTILATERAL DEVELOPEMENT BANKS-FEB 17,16-EUOBSERVER-COUNTER BALANCE
http://www.counter-balance.org/a-high-risk-global-infrastructure-agenda-the-role-of-multilateral-development-banks/
Last but not least, the third of our series of papers on infrastructure megaprojects focuses on Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs) and their role in supporting the new global infrastructure agenda.As vast expenditures in infrastructure megaprojects are increasingly justified as a means to enhance the life of communities and stimulate economies, Multilateral Development Banks together with the International Monetary Fund have never been so united than in the arena of large infrastructure financing.Indeed, while the mostly Western-led MDBs intensified their collaboration on infrastructure and sustainable development, the same model is spreading worldwide with the rise of new institutions such as the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank and New Development Bank.This tendency was even formalized in November 2014, when these institutions – including the World Bank and the European Investment Bank –issued a joint statement re-affirming their commitment and capacity to lead the new global infrastructure agenda.Considering this global context, our paper offers a closer look into the new financial initiatives and platforms recently launched to mobilize private finance for large infrastructure such as partnerships, facilities and investment plans. In particular, we underline the risks connected to the largely popular model of PPPs, analysing their negative impact observed in multiple studies.Furthermore, the paper raises important concerns regarding the risks this development model entails. Those risks are valid both for developing countries’ economies – whose fragility and indebtedness is likely to increase – and for industrialised countries – where the current austerity regimes limiting public resources are threatening to prioritise infrastructure projects at the expenses of basic social services.
urge the European Investment Bank not to finance the Southern Gas Corridor-January 28, 2016-EUOBSERVER-COUNTER BALANCE
A group of 27 NGOs sent an open letter to the President of the European Investment Bank (EIB) today urging the Bank not to finance the Southern Gas Corridor, a 3500 kilometres-long chain of gas pipelines from Azerbaijan to Europe. As the EIB considers granting the biggest loan of its history to the Consortium in charge of developing the western section of the project, the Trans-Adriatic Pipeline (TAP), a group of NGOs warns about its most controversial aspects:Supporting this project would not be coherent with the bank’s commitment to fight climate change announced during the COP21 in Paris. Pumping more gas through the Southern Gas Corridor would hinder the accomplishment of the EU’s climate objectives and longer-term decarbonisation goals.Demand for gas in Europe is actually dropping, as the European Commission’s own projections for the next 35 years show. The Southern Gas Corridor therefore risks not being used to full capacity and turning into a stranded asset which will ultimately be paid for by taxpayers, gas consumers and those living along the route of the pipeline.Azerbaijan is one of the most undesirable partners the EU could tie itself to. The Aliyev regime is known for its appalling human rights record and repression of political opposition. Concluding a business partnership with Azerbaijan would thus stand in contradiction to the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights, which binds the EIB not to finance projects that would encourage or support human rights violations. This is underlined in the European Parliament’s September 2015 resolution calling for the suspension of EU funding to the Azeri government.The fiscal accountability of the project is quite opaque, as the consortium of companies that promote TAP is registered in the Swiss city of Baar, a renowned tax haven.The authorisation process of the Italian section of TAP raised many issues and led to large protests by residents and local authorities of the province of Lecce, where the pipeline will enter the Italian soil. The population’s apprehensions particularly concerned the lack of transparency in the procedures that led to the full approval of the project by the Italian government as well as the still unfulfilled prescriptions needing to be complied with from the Environmental Impact Assessment of the project.The signatories claim that “the Southern Gas Corridor is one of the biggest and most controversial infrastructure projects that have ever seen the light of day in Europe. This massive financial investment entails serious environmental and geopolitical risks. Therefore, we call for no public money to go to the Southern Gas Corridor”.“As an EU institution, the EIB is morally and legally obliged to guarantee that all its projects respect the human rights and climate principles it is committed to. As President of the EU bank, Mr Hoyer should take on full responsibility and recognize all the implications attached to the loan”, they conclude.

12 Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.
13 And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves,
14 And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the LORD have spoken it, and performed it, saith the LORD.
