Two independent federal agencies are coming under attack after calling for the creation of a nation-wide database that would collect the Social Security numbers and other personally identifiable information of as many as 227 million Americans.
That’s what the Federal Housing Finance Agency and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau asked for, at least, with an April 16 Federal Register notice of expansion that failed to garner attention of the media until Friday this week. That morning, Richard Pollock at the Washington Examiner wrote that the creation of a new national database as outlined in last month’s memo would contradict previously stated policy and put the personal details pertaining to hundreds of millions of Americans in one shared database.
“FHFA will manage the database and share it with CFPB,” Pollock wrote. “A CFPB internal planning document for 2013-17 describes the bureau as monitoring 95 percent of all mortgage transactions.”
According to the notice of expansion posted last month, the database would satisfy requirements of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008, as well as help it prepare an annual report given to Congress. In doing as much, however, the agencies want their hands on more than just a few miniscule details.
Over one million people in Spain - the eurozone's fourth largest economy - haven't had a job since 2010, according to a report by Spain's National Statistics Institute. Although this number continues to rise, the government says it's witnessing recovery.
The numbers,
published on May 23, show that “very long-term unemployment” in the country has risen by more than 500 percent since 2007. That year, about 250,000 Spaniards were unemployed after losing their job at least three years prior. That number drastically rose to 1.27 million in 2013 - 234,000 more than in 2012.
Generally, long-term unemployment includes jobless workers who have not been employed for more than 27 weeks. The recent study shows that this category in Spain has transformed to very long-term unemployment, with hundreds of thousands people without a job for at least three years, and is now represented by over 23 percent of the total jobless population in Spain.

Business and Socialist pressure to talk and to reform Constitution, but Spanish Government remains opposed
CNA
Barcelona (ACN).- On Thursday and Friday, several
messages were sent from business circles and the Spanish Socialist Party
aimed at negotiating a Constitutional Reform to find a better
accommodation of Catalonia within Spain. However, on Friday afternoon,
the Spanish Deputy-Prime Minister, Soraya Sáenz de Santamaría, once
again closed the door to such a Constitutional Reform saying there was
"no consensus". In the morning, the President of Spain's largest
business owners association CEOE, Juan Rosell, stated that "laws are not
immortal" and "can be changed to adapt to reality". The day before, the
President of the Cercle d'Economia business lobby, Anton Costas, came
out in support for "a legal" consultation vote "agreed with Spain", but
asked the Catalan President, Artur Mas, "to give dialogue a second
chance" and talk to reform the Constitution if necessary. On Friday, the
Secretary General of the PSOE, Alfredo Pérez Rubalcaba, stated that
such a Constitutional Reform should be negotiated among the governing
People's Party (PP), the PSOE and Catalonia. However, Rubalcaba's reform
would not recognise Catalonia's right to self-determination nor its
nationhood status. The 'number 2' of the Centre-Right pro-Catalan State
Coalition, currently running the Catalan Government (CiU), Josep Antoni
Duran i Lleida, stated: "the problem is that some people have no
interest at all in talking", referring to the PP and the Spanish
Government. In addition, Duran i Lleida – who personally opposes
independence but defends Catalonia's right to decide on its own future –
warned that a Federal Constitutional Reform not recognising Catalonia's
nationhood and specificities would be a failure. "I do not want to
leave Spain, but I do not want to stay at the price of deforming my
personality, which is what is happening lately", stressed the CiU's
Spokesperson at the Spanish Parliament.
Between the 29th and 31st of May, the Cercle
d'Economia business and economics lobby and think tank is carrying out
its debate days, which take place each year at the coastal Catalan town
of Sitges, some 30 minutes drive from Barcelona. This event is one of
the main get-togethers of the business elite and economics academia at
Spanish level, with the presence of CEOs, business association leaders,
Spanish and Catalan Ministers, as well as academic experts. This year,
Catalonia's self-determination and its independence vote is at the
centre of the debate.
"Give dialogue a second chance"
At the opening session on Thursday, the President of the
Cercled'Economia, the veteran Economics Chair at the Universitat de
Barcelona (UB), Anton Costas, asked the President of the Catalan
Government and CiU leader, Artur Mas, "to give dialogue a second chance"
in order to find a negotiated way out of the current "Catalan problem",
"which is also a Spanish problem", he added. Costas insisted that
"political time" can be created and rejected the idea that it is now too
late to talk. He declined to represent the so-called "third way", which
are those opposing independence but also promoting a change of the
current status quo in order to find a better accommodation of Catalonia
within Spain. However, his arguments were all pointing towards this way
out of the problem. Costas stated that a consultation vote "is valid",
"if it always respects the legal framework" and people are well
"informed" about the consequences of their vote. In this sense, he was
supporting such a vote previously negotiated within Spain. However, for
this, "dialogue" deserves "a second chance" and this might involve the
modification of the Constitution, he added.
The Spanish Government is mostly responsible for the uncertainties of Catalonia's self-determination
The President of the Catalan Government, Artur Mas, was chairing the
opening session and he replied to Costas. Mas repeated that he is
willing to talk, as he has already said on many occasions. However, he
also pointed out that the Spanish Government is not willing to talk and
is aiming to block the self-determination vote. In this vein, the
Catalan President asked the Spanish PM "not to block the consultation
vote carried out according to a law from the Catalan Parliament, if they
are not able to negotiate such a vote with us". Mas asked Rajoy not to
"mind in our own business". The Catalan President also recognised that
the self-determination process is creating "uncertainties", although
these uncertainties are created by how the Spanish Government is dealing
with the issue. According to Mas, if the Spanish Executive was acting
like the British Government and negotiating a self-determination vote
and talking on an agreed way out of the current conflict, then
uncertainties would have been considerably reduced. However, he also
admitted that "there is also a certain degree of uncertainty in the
complicated and complex decisions".
The PSOE want to negotiate the Constitutional Reform with the PP and the CiU
On Friday, the Secretary General of the PSOE, Alfredo Pérez
Rubalcaba, insisted once again on his party proposal to reform the
Constitution in order to develop a true federal Spain. In this new
territorial model, Catalonia should find a better accommodation and
should have its powers of self-government fully respected. According to
Rubalcaba, this reform should be negotiated between the PSOE, the
governing PP and the CiU, which runs the Catalan Government.
However the PSOE's Constitutional Reform would not recognise
Catalonia's right to self-determination nor its nationhood status,
meaning that Spain would not be fully recognised as a pluri-national
State (such as the United Kingdom, for instance). Currently the
Constitution negotiated with the Franco regime states that Spain is
"formed of nationalities and regions", without mentioning them. The word
"nationality" was a concession to the military and Spanish nationalists
controlling power in order not to put in black on white that Spain was a
pluri-national State and that besides the Spanish nation there was the
Catalan and the Basque. This concession was done in order not to derail
the democratisation process, with the implicit promise that once
democracy had been consolidated, Spain would slowly recognise itself as a
pluri-national state and Catalonia would have its nationhood status
fully recognised. However, this never happened. In fact, the contrary
happened, and now the PSOE is insisting on not recognising Catalonia's
nationhood, knowing this hits Spanish nationalist voters and that the PP
would not accept it.
The CiU replies that it is the PP and the Spanish Government who do not want to talk
Next to Rubalcaba sat the 'number 2' of the CiU and its Spokesperson
in the Spanish Parliament, Josep Antoni Duran i Lleida. Duran i Lleida
stated that "President Mas totally agrees on sitting [around a
negotiating table] and talking amongst everyone", referring to talking
about negotiating a Constitutional Reform. At this point, Duran i Lleida
emphasised that "the problem is that some people have no interest at
all in talking. "This is the problem", he added, referring to the PP and
the Spanish Government. He also insisted that the CiU has stressed its
will to talk on many different occasions and to many different people.
"We have said this, in many different ways, to the Spanish Prime
Minister and to you [Pérez Rubalcaba] as well", he added. However, "it
is the Spanish PM – who has a greater responsibility – who is the one
who has to sit and talk" concluded Duran i Lleida.
In addition, the CiU's 'number 2' also warned against a poor
Constitutional Reform, reproducing the generalisation of the Autonomous
Communities model to solve Catalonia's singularity. "This road might be
too broad for some and too thin for Catalonia", he said. Furthermore,
Duran i Lleida – who personally opposes independence but defends
Catalonia's right to decide on its own future – warned that a Federal
Constitutional Reform not recognising Catalonia's nationhood and
specificities would be a failure. "I do not want to leave Spain, but I
do not want to stay at the price of deforming my personality, which is
what is happening lately ", said the CiU's Spokesperson at the Spanish
Parliament.
The Spanish Government closes the door to negotiating and asks Mas to abandon self-determination plans
Before all those messages, after the weekly Cabinet meeting, the
Spanish Deputy-Prime Minister, Soraya Sáenz de Santamaría, once again
closed the door to a Constitutional Reform, as the Spanish Government
and the PP have already done on several occasions. "There is no
consensus", according to them. Since the PP holds an absolute majority
in the Spanish Parliament with 53% of the sitting MPs and the PSOE has
31% of the MPs, both parties currently control around 85% of the
parliamentary seats. A Constitutional Reform could only pass if the PP
and PSOE reached an agreement, but the PP believes "there is no
consensus". In 2011, the Spanish Constitution was reformed in less than a
month to introduce limitations to the levels of public debt and
deficit, following instructions from the EU institutions and foreign
governments such as that of Germany. The Spanish Deputy-PM also
criticised the Catalan President for insisting "every single day" upon
the self-determination vote and "creating confusion", since the vote
will never take place, according to her.

The idea that “right-wing populism” or even neo-fascism is on the march
due to the results of the European elections is never so nonsensical as
when it is applied to Italy, where Beppe Grillo’s “Five Star” movement
came in with 21 percent of the vote, an astounding total given the
party’s brief history and scant resources. The Five Starists are a
unique combination of Euro-skepticism, populism (they favor direct
democracy via the Internet), and outright cynicism, Italian-style. And
while the 40 percent garnered by the pro-EU Democratic party is being
hailed by the media and the Eurocrats (or do I repeat myself?) as a
great victory, that the Five Stars managed to even approximate their
last vote total without much institutional backing was in itself a major
accomplishment. My point, however, is that Italy has real fascist
parties, none of which registered above a few percent in the recent
election.

Bilderberg 2014 is coming up – are you excited? I know I am.
One reason I’m excited is those of us who have written and exposed
these types of events for years aren’t mocked and ferociously opposed
like we used to be.
Although I’ve only written about these topics for about 8 years, I had been vocal about them since age 18.
I should add as well that I am a late bloomer compared to writers
like Jim Tucker and Daniel Estulin, who have been there all along
exposing Bilderberg.
In that span of time, the Internet has increased awareness of these
international corporate syndicalist entities than I would have ever
expected.
Another reason I’m excited is the intel coming out of Bilderberg,
which appears to be more worry about losing grip on the “unipolar” world
they once had, as knowledge of their existence expands and as other big
players like Russia (no longer welcome at the annual meetings) begin to question the sanity of having a single global technocracy try to rewrite all of existence.
In fact, my college professors mocked me for bringing up Bilderberg
over the years, but now, Bilderberg is something that has been forced
into mainstream news.
The mainstream so-called news for years would ridicule and laugh
about anyone who dared mention the words, as did most of the faux
conservative and liberal talk radio hosts.

Police blocked the march and soon were using tear gas, sound grenades
and rubber bullets on people to violently disperse the protest march.

The legendary poet, playwright and civil rights activist Maya Angelou has died at the age of 86. Born in the Jim Crow South, Angelou rose to become one of the world’s most celebrated writers. After becoming an accomplished singer and actress, Angelou was deeply involved in the 1960s civil rights struggle, working with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X. Encouraged by the author James Baldwin, among others, to focus on her writing, Angelou penned "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings," her first of seven autobiographies. The book launched the phenomenal career for which she is known around the world as an award-winning author and people’s poet. We look back at some of Angelou’s most celebrated poems and speeches, and speak to her close friend Sonia Sanchez, the renowned writer, activist and leader in the black arts movement.

Divers sigles et acronymes circulent pour désigner une même réalité,
officiellement connue, en français, sous le nom de partenariat
transatlantique sur le commerce et l’investissement (PTCI) et, en
anglais, sous celui de Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership
(TTIP). Cette multiplicité d’appellations s’explique en partie par le
secret des négociations, qui a entravé l’uniformisation des termes
utilisés. Alimenté par la fuite de documents, le travail des réseaux
militants a conduit à l’émergence de nouveaux acronymes : notamment
Tafta en anglais (pour Trans-Atlantic Free Trade Agreement),
qu’utilisent certaines organisations francophones (dont le collectif
Stop Tafta) ; et grand marché transatlantique (GMT), en français.

people it wanted to persuade, in its final days Bilderberg has boiled
down to a rotten core of bankers, royalty, arms industry, oil and media
