Transpicuous News Feb 26, 2015: Smokey Subways and Chemtraily Skys

Welcome to Transpicuous News on Feb 26th, 2015.

After a very rocky start on Wednesday, we finally had to give up on doing the Transpicuous News Midweek report on the CCN LIVE Stream.... as we suddenly encountered a technical "glitch" that no one could explain nor had ever seen happen before on Live Stream.....  I go into the details of that adventure in the Midweek report, that I finally ended up recording and uploading to YouTube. 

It's been an interesting week my friends- there are a lot of things "shaking out" right now, and I suspect this is only the beginning of the surprises we have coming. Key areas to watch right now: Washington DC and it surrounding places of interest.

Remember: 

Be Alert.    Be Prepared.    And keep your eye on the ball!!

Transpicuous News Feb 22, 2015: Happy Meal Vaccines, Cyclones and the Creepy Veep

Welcome to Transpicuous News on Sunday February 22, 2015.

Between the US calling "Sovereign" citizens Terrorists, McDonalds giving away Vaccines with their Happy Meals, and Biden fondling the new Sec Def's wife on international TV.... you'd think that they'd be the headlining stories of this weeks news report.... but no, sadly, even those distractions were barely enough to take our attention off of the Soap Operas playing out in Europe.  The Ukraine & Greece drama queens were in top form this week, and if that wasn't enough, more spying stories were released about the NSA.... AGAIN!!

Transpicuous News Special Report: Global Currency pegs and the "RV"

On Friday night I did a Transpicuous News live stream special financial report on CCN, to discuss Currencies in general, and the recent news out of Iraq and the World Bank on the Iraqi Dinar- or "RV".

I put out a pre-homework article Friday afternoon here which contains the PDF of the World Bank Statement that was released on Thursday, that I discussed during the show, and the clips from last weeks TN shows that discussed the "pegs" used in the global currency realms- you can review the information HERE: http://removingtheshackles.blogspot.com/2015/01/transpicuous-news-special-financial.html
