Protesters flooding the streets of Hong Kong are using a new app called “FireChat” to communicate with other demonstrators. Able to continue operating whether cellular or internet connections are available, the “mesh” technology behind the software allows users to circumvent government efforts to impede civil disobedience. RT’s Ameera David takes a look.

Bailiffs cleared out anti-capitalist activists and their belongings from a site underneath HSBC bank’s Asian headquarters in Hong Kong on Tuesday – ending one of the global Occupy movement’s longest-running encampments. Skirmishes broke out after bailiffs and bank guards arrived in the morning to clear out the activists, who had ignored a court order requiring them to leave by 27 August. Some were carried or dragged away and taken outside a perimeter, where they were let go. The last protester was thrown off the site in the heart of the city’s financial district by late afternoon. . . . Text posted with video at youtube

From the Silver Doctors APRIL 14, 2013 BY THE DOC
We are told by the MSM that the sale of $650 million worth of Cypriot Gold has just caused a 3+% drop in the price of Gold (and more than 5% in Silver). Is this credible?
The Fed is creating $85 billion per month or close to $3 billion per day, 24/7. The Cypriot Gold at is only 1/5th of what our Fed prints EVERY day! The U.S. Treasury borrows some $4 billion per day to keep our well oiled economic engine running, ALL of the Cypriot Gold is about 1/7th of what the U.S. borrows each and EVERY day. Last month, China imported from Hong Kong alone some 97 tons or roughly 7 times the amount of Cyprus’s total Gold holdings, the Cypriot Gold is a mere 4 days worth of imports. One other way to look at this is that 14 tons is about 6 tenths of 1 percent of the global production of Gold for 1 year…it is nothing. No, $650 million in today’s world is LESS THAN NOTHING! . . .

The United States opened its banking market to China’s biggest bank ICBC, for the first time clearing a takeover of a US bank by a Chinese state-controlled company.
Just days after high-level US-China economic talks in Beijing, the Federal Reserve approved an application from Industrial and Commercial Bank of China to buy a majority stake in the US subsidiary of Bank of East Asia.
The transaction will make ICBC the first Chinese state-controlled bank to acquire retail bank branches in the United States.
ICBC has been the most aggressive of China’s “big four” banks in expanding abroad.
Outside China, it operates subsidiary banks in Asian countries and has branches in a number of countries including Germany, Japan and Singapore.
According to the Fed, the bank has total assets of roughly $2.5 trillion.
ICBC will buy up to 80 percent of the US unit of the Hong Kong-based Bank of East Asia, which operates 13 branches in New York and California.
As part of the deal, ICBC and two state-backed financial firms — China’s sovereign wealth fund, the China Investment Corporation (CIC), and Central Huijin Investment — will be recognized as bank holding companies, regulated as commercial US banks.
The Fed said the takeover may not occur before May 15, or later than three months from Wednesday. . . . Read Complete Story
