I read ZeroHedge too & could not agree w/ you more! So the question is: How to hack them back and profit from it? Since these creeps and bqsterds are reading/listening/recording our texts/emails/phone-calls; that would be only fair. Not a violation of law, rights, or Constitution when they do it without a warrant, so it's all good.

One crazy rumor has the recent kabuki theater of Syrian chemical warfare materiel agreement as only the initial step of a negotiated & developing behind the scenes slow rapprochement with Iran under its new president. A negotiated end to the years-long cold war of the Persian Gulf, Iraq & Syria may be the best deal for US interests possible, given that our leverage will decline even further upon withdrawal from Afghanistan. The sanctions have weighed heavily upon the Iranian people and the ruling regime must really want to sell their oil without sanctions again. Their economy is in shambles and Iran's currency has lost most of its value. If one is speculating on the outcome of German elections as a trigger for a market downturn, one may be disappointed. An upside surprise may be the unexpected turn instead. Remember that it's the one you did not see coming that gets you every time! Lot's of people try to pick the exact top and many have openly speculated it is close at hand, due to the fed, Summers/Yellen, etcetera. What if they're wrong?
