Authored by Tom Luongo,
After a lot of drama, British Prime Minister Theresa May came back from Brussels with a breakthrough on Brexit.

https://zh-prod-1cc738ca-7d3b-4a72-b...49396112_0.jpg
Only it wasn’t.


While the changes to the protocol that governs the implementation of the Irish Backstop are an improvement they are far from enough to allay the rightful fears of Brexiteers and the Northern Irish.

From the beginning of this process, the EU has been in blackmail mode. They’ve made it clear that they would not negotiate in good faith or even at all. That much has been clear.

The biggest question has been whether May herself was working in the British people’s best interest or was she simply a stalking horse for further EU integration of the entire continent of Europe.

Never forget that the EU has imperial ambitions. Those that have been its architects saw it as regaining the mantle of the center of the world as the U.S. bankrupts itself maintaining an empire around the world, fighting against the rise of Russia and China.

It sits in the weeds, making byzantine bureaucratic law and building both a fiscal and political union through these under-handed back doors.

And the people of Europe have woken up to it. The Brits voted to leave the EU because of this. Euroskeptic parties are rising across Europe. The latest rebuke of the EU came in Austria’s Salzburg, a traditional center-left stronghold just voted for a Lega-style nationalist/populist majority.

Now people like Theresa May, who never supported Brexit, are using this negotiating period to hand to the EU everything it wants in the Withdrawal Agreement to blackmail the British people to accept an even worse arrangement than had they not voted to leave in the first place.


This point cannot be understated.

Because it is the model for how the EU will fight the rising opposition to its rule.

The withdrawal agreement was crafted by Germany and not negotiated by Jean-Claude Juncker and Michael Barnier to punish the U.K. for standing up to the inevitability of the EU.

It is a message and a warning to Italy, Hungary and Poland.
It was designed to cause irreparable damage to the U.K. with the long-term effects of destroying the majority political parties and fanning separatist instincts in Wales and Scotland.

And no one is more to blame for this mess than the members of Parliament who continue to virtue signal about the horrors of a no-deal which the British people have become less and less scared of every day. Poll after poll shows overwhelming rejection of May’s Merkel’s deal as well as growing support for a No-Deal Brexit.

And if the members of parliament who continue to go through the pantomime of an existential crisis would leave it aside and simply say that’s it, no deal it is, that would end the uncertainty and the worry that is now the dominant narrative in the press.

Businesses are relocating, shipments are stopping, etc. All because of Brexit, they argue. No, all because of MP’s who refuse to embrace the situation as it stands and face the reality that sovereignty is more important than a quarter or two of tightened belts and some annoying paperwork.

Moreover, the biggest fear now is the one which is that Britain ends up better off if they not only threw off the shackles of the EU but also its own corrupt and, frankly, traitorous leadership.

Theresa May’s performance in parliament before the latest vote was almost convincing. But, as always, when someone is giving you an ultimatum, my way or the highway, it’s masking an alternative choice.

The Dublin Unionist Party and the European Research Group within the Tories understand this. I suspect in his heart of hearts Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn
And the reason for this is May was always on their side. It’s not a negotiation when there’s only one side represented. This is why Juncker et.al. refused to negotiate in any meaningful way.

They didn’t have to.

And that is simply blackmail.

What is obvious watching British parliamentarians at this late stage is that a majority of them are unwilling to face reality that the EU is not in their best interest. Because any organization that would blackmail rather than negotiate is not an organization anyone decent person would want to be a member of.

Fears over a No-Deal Brexit are overblown. If these same MP’s that are so worried about the uncertainty created by the Brexit process would simply end that uncertainty by backing No-Deal then certainty would return.

It might not be the certainty that is the easiest to swallow for both sides but it will be certainty.

Mr. Juncker made it clear there is nothing better forthcoming. That’s an insult and it should be treated as such by Parliament.

But it won’t be as MP’s roll over, show Juncker their bellies and hand-wring about how unfair it all is again later this week.

They cannot see the bigger picture that it is the EU that has the weak hand, not them. They are too blinded by ideology and fear to see that.

“This would explain both the counter-intuitive crash in GLD inventory that began in late January as well as the counter-intuitive smash in price that…”

by Craig Hemke via Sprott Money News

More proof of Central Bank gold price manipulation or simply an odd coincidence?

If you’re an avid follower of the precious metals, then you no doubt noticed the tremendous rally that prices experienced over the 100 days from November 14 through February 20. Global equity market weakness, falling interest rates and a change in Fed policy all combined to send the COMEX gold price higher by 11.6%, from $1210 to $1350 over this time period.
https://www.silverdoctors.com/wp-con...624dd08cbe.jpg


With interest in the sector surging, this same November-January period saw the stockpile of gold held in the inventory of the world’s largest gold ETF, the GLD, grow as well. On November 16, 2018, the GLD registered a total inventory of 759.68 metric tonnes, but by January 29, this total had grown to 823.87 metric tonnes. This is precisely as you might expect, given that higher prices generally lead to improving sentiment and demand for gold in all its forms.


But then something curious happened. Even though price continued to rally into February, the total inventory of the GLD began to decline. In fact, by the time of the most recent price peak on February 20, the total GLD inventory had already fallen by over 27 metric tonnes. As the month continued and prices began to correct, the withdrawals from the GLD accelerated and the total inventory registered a February decline of 51.41 metric tonnes. Another 5.87 metric tonnes were withdrawn on March 4, bringing the total inventory down 57.28 metric tonnes from the January 29 peak and nearly all the way back down to where it was when the price rally began back in November. See below and remember that number: 57.28 metric tonnes.
https://www.silverdoctors.com/wp-con...a888f09cd4.jpg


That the GLD inventory began to fall three weeks before price was unusual enough. However, when the February statements of account were published by the Bank of International Settlements, things got even more curious.

We were first alerted to this last week by Robert Lambourne, who published his findings at GATA. Many thanks to Robert for noting this information, and you can read his summary here:http://www.gata.org/node/18924


To wit, Robert noticed that the BIS had placed an additional 56 metric tonnes of gold swaps into the market in February. A total of 56 metric tonnes of new shorts? Hmmm. That’s interesting.

By Robert Lambourne

Thursday, March 7, 2019
The recent monthly statements of account published by the Bank for International Settlements indicate that the bank is still actively trading gold swaps, which the bank uses to gain access to gold held by commercial banks.

There is not enough information in the monthly reports to calculate the exact amount of swaps, but based on the information in the BIS’ just-published statement of account for February 2019—
https://www.bis.org/banking/balsheet/statofacc1902…

—the bank’s gold swaps are estimated to be 303 tonnes compared to 247 tonnes at January 31, 2019, an increase of 56 tonnes. This compares to an estimated holding of 275 tonnes at December 31, 2018, and estimates of 308 tonnes in November, 372 tonnes in October, 238 tonnes in September and 370 tonnes in August 2018.

The GATA post continues:
More background on the bank’s medium-term history of using gold swaps is available here:
http://www.gata.org/node/18825

On February 3 GATA published comments from a former gold industry executive describing the activities of the BIS in gold swaps in earlier decades:
http://www.gata.org/node/18828

The former executive wrote: “Effectively this process created a supply of ‘paper gold’—sometimes but not always marked to market—that had a depressing effect on the gold price.”

So the GLD sees a drawdown of 57 metric tonnes over the same time period that the BIS created 56 metric tonnes of new gold swaps. And, as noted by Bob Lambourne in his GATA article, these swaps allow “the bank to gain access to gold held by commercial banks.”

Again, this is interesting. Why? Because the only entities that are allowed to access and withdraw gold from the GLD are called its “Authorized Participants”. And who are these APs? Posted below is a snapshot of the GLD prospectus. The APs are primarily the big commercial banks that also operate as Bullion Banks for the LBMA.
https://www.silverdoctors.com/wp-con...014ad2824f.jpg


In a follow-up email conversation I had with Bob over the weekend, he further noted this history and background of the BIS and their gold activities:
Do you recall that we <he and Chris Powell> discussed a couple of months ago whether the source of (paper) gold swapped with the BIS was ETF gold where the bullion banks acted as custodian? There’s nothing in the BIS reporting that I’ve found which would confirm that this is the case, but it seems highly plausible to me. From a custodian’s viewpoint, having the BIS as a counter party must be easy to justify.

We can be almost 100% certain that the gold used for swaps doesn’t come from central banks, and I’m reasonably confident that it’s not IMF gold, as I believe that the BIS would have to make some form of related party disclosure if it was using IMF gold. However, as explained below, there is some scope for the BIS and IMF to mislead about their gold holdings.

So given that the first swaps in 2010 were confirmed to be with commercial banks, this seems the most likely source. I doubt if any gold miner would be dealing in any size with BIS swaps, as it would need to be disclosed in their financial reporting and the total amounts are large. I’m unaware of any miner sitting on lots of paper gold or bullion, but I’ve not checked recently.

Although the BIS tries very hard, in my view, to be as unhelpful as possible about their gold disclosures, it is useful that the BIS act as the setters of standards for financial businesses, because they then have to comply to an extent with the standards that they create. This means that the BIS gives out more information than the IMF, for example, on their gold positions.

The official explanation given back in 2010 by the BIS was that the swaps were started to provide dollar liquidity to commercial banks [that] had access to gold. I think there’s lots of evidence, including the FT article at the time, that the driving force was the BIS, who wanted access to gold. The swaps create an exposure for the BIS, who are long unallocated gold and sort of allocated. It always makes me smile when I read the BIS’s voluminous risk reporting that this exposure is never highlighted.


Thus, summarizing all of this, it’s possible—maybe even likely—that the 56 metric tonnes of gold swaps placed by the BIS in February were based upon metal sourced from the GLD and accessed by the Authorized Participant Banks.

This would explain both the counter-intuitive crash in GLD inventory that began in late January as well as the counter-intuitive smash in price that began just after the February 20 release of the January FOMC minutes… minutes that were near-unanimously interpreted as “dovish” and, thus, gold bullish.

Again, though, in the deliberately-opaque global gold “market”, very few things can ever be stated with absolute certainty. All we can do is sift through the rubbish of the IMF-BIS-CB dumpster, looking for clues that reveal their nefarious plots against gold and sound money, in general.

In the end, is this possible BIS-GLD connection just another example of Bank collusion or is it simply a coincidence of numbers? We report, you decide.

Going forward, however, it should be clear that global Banker tools like the GLD and SLV should be avoided at all costs. We’ll leave you with one last excerpt from the GLD prospectus:

Understanding the Gold Spot Price

What is the gold spot price?

Simply put, the fluctuating gold spot price is today's standard price discovery mechanism used to help set and establish the price of a single troy ounce of physical gold bullion.

The gold spot price plays a critical role in gold bullion sales and live gold pricing dynamics, as well as in other investment arenas. You will also notice that during market trading hours, beginning in Asia late Sunday nights and throughout the work week, the gold spot price is not constant – it often fluctuates and changes over the course of trading days. These price fluctuations are usually minor, and should only play a decisive role in ultra-short term investments, not in long-term gold bullion buying.


Quite a few different factors play a role in determining the spot price of gold at any single time, including currency values, the supply and demand of gold bullion and gold derivatives (e.g. futures contracts, ETFs, options), current events affecting the financial markets and the world at large, market speculation, and more.

With that being said, the impact of governments, central banks, big banks, and even major investors can also affect the current (and future) price of gold. For instance, the CME Group's COMEX which mainly dictates ongoing day to day spot prices for gold around the world. This entity openly encourages non-US central banks to actively trade gold futures contracts amongst other various precious metals, FX, and interest rate critical price discovery futures contracts.

As well, suppose the Federal Reserve began buying up private gold, or the European Central Bank started stockpiling gold bullion heavily. This surge in physical gold bullion demand should cause prices to rise. Most gold bullion investors would need fiat currency offers for their gold bullion many multiples higher than today's price points in order to be moved to selling.

In general the higher the demand for gold bullion, the higher the gold spot price will rise. When major investors (e.g. billionaires) begin buying up large quantities of gold bullion, or gold mines, this can also affect the market and gold prices positively.

There is a huge demand from the investor, but there is also a ripple effect as the investor’s actions affect the decisions of other investors. This will also move the live gold price. Again, more demand equates to higher prices. Gold, despite its myriad industrial and adornment, uses in jewelry, is ultimately a monetary commodity (this is why central banks own about 20% of all the physical gold in the world). Basic supply-demand tenants suggest the less of any commodity available and the higher its demand is simultaneous, the more that commodity is going to be worth.

In the short to medium term, gold price dynamics can remain mostly influenced by derivatives traded on the COMEX, LBMA, etc. Contrarily the long term price of gold is typically decided by gold's supply-demand fundamental factors.

The following is a calm market illustration of both typical buy and sell prices for gold bullion in relation to the fluctuating gold spot price.

What Factors Affect the Gold Price?
Spend any amount of time studying gold prices and you’ll notice that it changes quite frequently.

It can change by the minute in some instances. It is important to understand the various factors that affect the gold price so that you can study gold price charts including gold price history for a longer period to determine whether now is the right time to make your move.

This applies whether you’re buying, selling or holding gold. Let’s consider some of the most important factors that affected the gold price over recent years.

https://ndzxo0-v2szh1yngs3x.cloudmae...wdQ-k760xt.png

[ 2019 Q1 - Updated Quarterly ]

What common factors influence the gold price?

The gold price is affected by a very wide range of factors. This is due to the nature of gold – it’s both a store of value, and a commodity. For instance, supply and demand will affect the gold price in the USA, as well as around the world. If a new gold mine opens and the supply suddenly exceeds demand, then prices should fall. If a gold mine is exhausted and demand remains high, prices should rise. However, other factors that affect gold bullion prices include mint fees, fluctuations in currency, the state of the world’s economy and geopolitical challenges. So, there might be plenty of gold available, but if an unstable situation prevents a mine from transporting the gold out of the country, prices could go up. If the currency in one country becomes devalued to a significant extent, the local price for gold could rise as well.


Does gold fluctuate too much to make it worth the time of an ordinary investor?

While you’ll find major players investing in gold constantly, from big banks and governments to investors like George Soros, it is not too volatile for the ordinary investor to use. By knowing the spot price of gold and historic gold prices, you can track the movement of the metal and make smart investing decisions. Many ordinary investors choose to put a percentage of their wealth into gold simply to protect it from paper dollar devaluation.


Gold is a “store of value” investment. This means that while the gold price might change daily, or even hourly, the value of the gold does not. It protects the money you put into it. This is more important during challenging economic times than it is during the course of normal events. For instance, when markets are performing well and times are good, the gold market price will typically drop or hold steady at a lower point. This is a good time to put money into gold and hold it. Eventually, the economic cycle should come full circle and a recession should set in. When this happens, the price for gold rises, and you’re able to safeguard your wealth. Imagine if you did not put your money into gold. When inflation hits, your money is worth less than it was. However, if that money is in gold, then it should hold its value against the inflated fiat money.


In the end, gold can fluctuate a great deal. However, savvy investors understand that this is not a short-term investment. Gold is not similar to the stock market. You don’t buy and sell gold bullion quickly in order to make a profit and then move on to the next investment option.


You buy gold bullion and then hold it as a hedge, an insurance policy, and as a long term store of wealth. This allows you to avoid losing money during fluctuations of the price of gold. Even if you decided to use gold the same way as you would stocks, the amount of movement per day in the market (volatility) is very similar but typically less than what you would experience on the stock market for individual equity prices in terms of daily percentage movements.

https://r36sqj-v2szh1yngs3x.cloudmae...4rFuFBHk5c.png

[ 2019 Q1 - Updated Quarterly ]

Does the gold market operate 24 hours per day around the world?

Yes, gold is bought and sold at all hours of the day and night, all around the world. You can get the current gold price per ounce at midnight or sunrise, lunchtime or any other time you need it.

Gold is traded 24 hours per day to ensure that all comers have access to this investment market, including banks, governments, other financial institutions, and investors just like you. The market is active around the clock to guarantee that you can always get an accurate gold price per ounce.

How frequently does the gold ounce price change?

Spend any time studying gold price history or a current gold price chart, and you’ll notice that the gold price changes, and it can do so frequently. The market opens at 6 PM EST and closes at 5:00 PM EST, and operates from late Sunday night when the gold derivative markets open in Asia to late Friday evening when they close in the west. There is a one hour window daily where the market closes on weekdays.

The frequency of these price changes will depend on what events are affecting the live gold price. For instance, breaking news usually has an immediate impact on the market, but other factors can include order flow, supply and demand, mine closures, investor decisions and many others.

Below is a chart reflecting intraday average gold price percentage movements over a recent 5 year timespan with higher gold prices having occured mostly overngiht in Asian trading and conversely lower gold price movements during western trading hours.

The chart to follow will give you a breakdown of this same east vs west gold price bias, in which the gold price tends to go up overnight in Asian trading versus sideways and or down during western trading hours (LBMA fix AM and PM. The eastern gold price bias upwards remains empirically clear with 1970 to 2018 market data and basic mathematics.

DAILY BRIEFING - 13 MARCH 2019

BY RONAN LYNCH - 13TH MARCH 2019 9:08AM

https://www.laffertynews.com/med/scr...28-M371894.jpg
Straight outta Commons from Joe.co.uk

A hard Brexit it will be, as things now stand. Lafferty's Brexit Council met in Westminster yesterday as the House of Commons was getting ready to vote on the latest but essentially unchanged offering from Theresa May, which the Commons promptly rejected by a margin of 145. This, remember, is the deal already negotiated between the UK and the EU. The Prime Minister had hoped to limit that loss to 100 seats. Today the Commons will vote on whether to prevent a no-deal, which will likely pass, and yet be completely powerless to actually prevent a no-deal, which is now a certainty failing a new initiative that the EU feels is a real proposal and not another variation that will keep the Conservative party in power. A general election before summer is now a real possibility. Despite the fervent opposition of the City, Jeremy Corbyn may become prime minister, mostly by sitting while May and the ERG have taken a wrecking ball to the Conservative party. Let's face it though — they won't be the only ones to take the blame. Former Irish ambassador Ray Bassett tweeted this morning: "The Backstop was the dumbest idea from the Irish Government since the Bank Guarantee. I said from day one, the original concept of the Backstop have zero chance of implementation."

Two years ago digital news outlet Joe.co.uk perfected the art of superimposing talking heads into music videos, ads or whatever else needs cutting down to size. A clip of Jacob Rees-Mogg singing 'Common People' — which clearly mocked Rees-Mogg — was re-tweeted by Rees-Mogg himself. Yesterday morning Joe accurately nailed the moment with 'Still M.A.Y.' (aka Still D.R.E.) featuring Rees-Mogg as Snoop Mogg and Theresa May as Dr Dre. (By the way, that's the DUP's Arlene Foster in the back seat of Dre's lowrider.) Need cheering up? Try this.

A study commissioned by the UK government suggests a way to increase competition with the big tech players by forcing them to open up their data to other competitors, much as Open Banking is forcing incumbents to allow competitors access to banking data, with user permission. The report, produced by a panel of experts led by Harvard professor Jason Furman, makes the case of a new competition regulator that may be known as the 'digital markets unit' which would force the opening up of data collected by big tech players. "It suggested Open Banking, which requires UK banks to share account data, as a blueprint," reports the FT. "Companies would be required to hand over personal data to competitors if customers requested to switch, preventing the customer's need to build up data and personalisation with a new social network. It also said that new entrants should have access to anonymous open data so they can build new products from scratch." Fascinating; there is a major battle looming now, and with the UK about to crash out of EU, this initiative may suddenly get legs. Currently, the big tech players, based in Dublin, operate under the aegis of the Data Protection Commissioner — something they may be keen to escape.

African banks are finding South Africa to be an increasingly difficult market compared to the rest of the continent, with the big four of Standard Bank, First Rand, Absa and Nedbank reporting results that suggests targets are becomingly increasingly difficult to meet. "This is showing just how tough the South African environment has been), while their African operations are outperforming," said Patrice Rassou, the head of equity research at Sanlam Investment Management in Cape Town, according to Bloomberg. "It's a function of low top-line growth and rising costs." The problem: "All of them suffer in differing degrees from what is known in banking parlance as "negative jaws": when costs grow faster than income." Read the full story here.

Good Morning Benjaminis, plz advise. thanks,

Good Morning

When we speak on the telephone I will tell you however all that I do for the screenshot is put my cursor on the trading Platform until I see a square then hit Print Screen and then go to Forex Factory thread and click on Upload Screenshot and hit Control V and it will put it on your post.

Thanks for your prompt reply. are you not trading now a days?

[quote=BenjaminIs;9392496]I want to share with my fellow FXCM UK Demo Traders and anyone else that reads my thread why I shorted US 30 at 9:35 AM this morning. My unrealied profit now is $330 US Dollars and that is experience that created this situation. As soon as I tell you this information alone could help you earn thousands of US Dollars next year.

Top Democrat Party Leader Recoils In Fear As Greatest College Scandal In US History Plunges Stake Into Hillary Clinton Heart

By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers

A very interesting new Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) report circulating in the Kremlin today states that it was no surprise to them when top Democrat Party leader US Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi tacitly admitted on the evening of 11 March that the entire Trump-Russia Collusion fairy tale was all based on lies leading her to declare no impeachment of President Trump would be forthcoming—a stunning declaration that was followed a short time later in the early hours of 12 March when FBI federal police forces spread out across the entire United States to effectuate the arrests of 50 elite American citizens in what they called “Operation Varsity Blues”—but whose main target was the “Deal Maker Of The Year For 2018” Gordon Caplan, the current Co-Chairman the powerful global law firm Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP—that is the law firm long overseen by the close personal friend and adviser to Hillary Clinton named Susan Thomases—who self described her role during the 1992campaign to elect President Bill Clinton “as akin to that of an enforcer”, and afterwards was called “the Clinton administration's King Kong Kibitzer”—with today her and her law firm being known as the “alleged kingpin of the Hillary network”. [Note: Some words and/or phrases appearing in quotes in this report are English language approximations of Russian words/phrases having no exact counterpart.]

http://www.whatdoesitmean.com/capp1.jpg

Willkie Farr & Gallagher Co-Chairman Gordon Caplan (above) leaves US Federal Court House in New York City on 12 March 2019 after his FBI arrest

According to this report, the SVR is a vital part of Russia's security system aimed at protecting the individual, society and the state from external threats by using the means and resources stipulated in Federal Law—that allows them to investigate threats to national security—the current greatest of which is the socialist-led American political Democrat Party, whose top leaders falsely claimed that Russiainterfered in their 2016 US presidential election, an interference they called “an act of war”.

With the only evidence the Democrat Party socialists had to base their false claim on that Russia interfered in their nation’s election being the made up fairy tale called the Trump-Russia Dossier, this report notes, SVR analysts became perplexed when this entire hoax wasn’t shut down last year after this dossier’s author, former MI6 operative Christopher Steele, admitted under oath that he created it after being paid millions-of-dollars by a company called Fusion-GPS who was working on behalf of Hillary Clinton so she could use it to contest her election loss to Trump.

Equally as perplexing to the SVR, this report says, was why this entire fake Russia scheme against Trump wasn’t shut down after it was further revealed that this made up dossier was illegally secreted into the FBI by Nellie Ohr—who was the wife of Bruce Ohr, the number-three top official in the Obama Regime’s US Justice Department, and was discovered to be being secretly paid by Fusion GPS, the US Justice Department and the CIA for the crimes she was committing—and whose actions ignited the nonsensical probe into Trump that, according to under oath testimony given by former top FBI lawyer Lisa Page, was begun after the Obama US Justice Department shockingly ordered the FBI not to file any criminal charges against Hillary Clinton.

http://www.whatdoesitmean.com/capp3.jpg

List keeps growing of Obama-Clinton officials firmly linked to coup plot against President Trump

With evidence overflowing in the US federal legal system and Congressional hearing rooms proving the main parts and persons involved in this amateurish coup plot against President Trump, to such an extent whole volumes have been written about it—one of the most eviscerating being “The Russia Hoax: The Illicit Scheme to Clear Hillary Clinton and Frame Donald Trump”, this report continues, SVRanalysts noted with surprise the April-2018 raid by the FBI on Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen—one of the most unique raids in all American history as it involved the FBI seizing from Cohen all of his protected attorney-client documents—which are the most protected and sacrosanct documents under US law.

In a beyond belief shocking response to the FBI seizing all of Cohen’s protected attorney-client documents, this report details, not a single objection was raised to this gross affront to the American legal system by either the US federal courts, mainstream media or politicians—and is why the SVR labeled this raid as being a “red herring” (something that misleads or distracts from a relevant or important question) designed to test President Trump’s powers to use the entire US federal legal system to his advantage.

Quickly following this “red herring” raid on Cohen, this report notes, on 1 July 2018, an astounding $1.5 billion federal racketeering lawsuit was filed against Hillary Clinton and all of her criminal associates by former US Secret Service agent Gary Byrne—who is best known for his multiple appearances before Special Counsel Ken Starr who investigated Clinton crimes in the 1990’s—and one of whose main defendants in, Hillary Clinton’s “billionaire puppet master” George Soros, retained powerhouse Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP attorneys Elizabeth Bower and Benjamin McCallen to defend himself.

On 10 October 2018, this report further details, Trump’s Justice Department moved against Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP partner Keila Ravelo, who was the former boss of Soros attorneys Bower and McCallen, by sentencing her to 5-years in prison—a seemingly light prison term in light of the crimes she committed, but became understandable, on 4 December 2018, when Trump’s Justice Departmentfiled a massive criminal complaint against 4 people associated with one of her former clients Mossack Fonseca—and who are most infamously known as being the masterminds behind the Panama Papersinternational money laundering scandal that both Hillary Clinton and her husband former President Bill Clinton are buried in up to their necks.

But it didn’t because the mainstream media covered it all up

During the day of 11 March, this report concludes, SVR analysts began documenting a rapid and continuous rise in encrypted electronic communications between nearly all FBI offices in the United Statesand their headquarters in Washington D.C.—that by late afternoon was joined by a US Department of Justice high-level delegation leaving their Washington D.C. headquarters and going to Capitol Hillwhere they met with Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi—a not uncommon visit as it’s mandated under “The Attorney General's Guidelines For Domestic FBI Operations” for them to inform a US Congressional leader just prior to significant arrests—and immediately after which saw Pelosi declaring no impeachment for Trump—and all of which culminated in the early hours of 12 March when the FBI unleashed the full fury of their “Operation Varsity Blues”—that now sees the keeper of all of Hillary Clinton’s most guarded secrets and crimes, “Deal Maker Of The Year 2018” Willkie Farr & Gallagher Co-Chairman Gordon Caplan, firmly pitted against, perhaps, one of the greatest “dealmakers” of all time, President Donald J. Trump—who wants to know what Hillary Clinton’s criminal secrets are, and apparently isn’t going to stop until he gets them.

Everyday Monday to Friday the equity markets in Europe close at 11:30 AM Eastern Standard Time or GMT + 5.

I post from Quebec. So the amount of money that flows is reduced as it relates only to the equity markets in Europe that open at 3:00 AM Eastern Standard Time when the CAC and FTSE and DAX open. Of course the currency markets might trade however usually everyone goes home for the day after work.

If there are open positions in both the equity markets and or the currency markets traders sometimes close positions to remove RISK overnight. If they are covering shorts or longs it affects the prices. After you have hands on experience over the years you notice things such as this.

The global economic landscape remains weak yet there appears to be no concern on the side of bulls and investors alike, so firm is the belief that the earnings recession that is unfolding is temporary, so firm is the belief that dovish central bankers can once again prevent any downside.



https://zh-prod-1cc738ca-7d3b-4a72-b...confidence.png

I get it, it has worked for 10 years and it’s worked again seemingly since the December lows. Why pretend it is anything but central banks?
After all Jay Powell is rapidly proving to be the market’s biggest thrust driver to the upside in 2019:

https://zh-prod-1cc738ca-7d3b-4a72-b...ges/powell.png

From my variant perch it’s a sign of deep underlying weakness. There is no bull market without central bank intervention or jawboning. Plain and simple.
The underlying premise of it all:

Praet: As a central bank, we can create money to buy assets #AskECB
Gianluca Nervegna@Gianluca844


Where did you get the money for the QE? #AskECB








There. They print money and buy assets and in process they distort the entire global price discovery process. Why? Because they have to in order to keep confidence up.
The world is one sell-off away from a global recession because market performance translates directly into consumer confidence and spending. Don’t believe me? Check this out:
In Q4 household financial assets dropped hard for the first time in a long time.

https://zh-prod-1cc738ca-7d3b-4a72-b...households.png

Why? Because markets dropped hard. What else dropped? Retail sales dropped 1.6% in December the biggest decline since September 2009.
Coincidence? You tell me:
Coincidence? You tell me:


https://zh-prod-1cc738ca-7d3b-4a72-b...SPX-retail.png


Is it the economy that’s leading the horse here? Or is it the other way around? Q1 GDP is much worse than Q4 yet retail spending is higher in January. The case can be made that it is market performance and related confidence that leads spending. No accident then that retail sales bounced back a bit in January, after all we saw a massive rally following the big global central bank flip flop.

None of this is new. Indeed if you look at a longer term chart comparing growth in financial assets and growth in retail sales one can observe an apparent correlation:

https://zh-prod-1cc738ca-7d3b-4a72-b...tail-sales.png


The message: Consumer confidence and spending is directly related to how markets perform which is ironic as nearly 90% of stocks are in the hands of the top 10%.

The larger conclusion: If markets drop for an extended time a recession is unavoidable. That’s how closely markets and the economy are now linked. No wonder the Fed always jumps in and quickly so, it is the unspoken prime mandate:

https://zh-prod-1cc738ca-7d3b-4a72-b...images/SPW.png


That’s why ever new highs are needed to keep the construct going. And that’s why ever more debt is needed because without more debt the fantasy does not sustain itself.

It’s the prefect bubble spiral that will eventually collapse under its own weight.

And at what cost? It all comes at a steep price.
Via Holger Zschaepitz:

“Global debt of corporations, governments & households hit fresh record at $178tn. Debt has risen by almost $60tn since the great financial crisis, meaning that the economic rebound of the past decade, which brought a global GDP increase of $20tn, has been bought at a high price. 3 dollars of debt translated into 1 dollar of growth”:

https://zh-prod-1cc738ca-7d3b-4a72-b...ges/debt_4.jpg

It’s inefficient and it eventually comes with enormous consequences.

But for now they keep succeeding in keeping the boogeyman at bay. And it takes ever more debt and ever more accommodative central bankers. No new highs without dovish central bankers. And ever more debt with dovish central bankers. And that’s the big CON in confidence. Because confidence must be maintained at all costs. Or else.

Top Democrat Party Leader Recoils In Fear As Greatest College Scandal In US History Plunges Stake Into Hillary Clinton Heart

By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers

A very interesting new Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) report circulating in the Kremlin today states that it was no surprise to them when top Democrat Party leader US Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi tacitly admitted on the evening of 11 March that the entire Trump-Russia Collusion fairy tale was all based on lies leading her to declare no impeachment of President Trump would be forthcoming—a stunning declaration that was followed a short time later in the early hours of 12 March when FBI federal police forces spread out across the entire United States to effectuate the arrests of 50 elite American citizens in what they called “Operation Varsity Blues”—but whose main target was the “Deal Maker Of The Year For 2018” Gordon Caplan, the current Co-Chairmanthe powerful global law firm Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP—that is the law firm long overseen by the close personal friend and adviser to Hillary Clinton named Susan Thomases—who self described her role during the 1992campaign to elect President Bill Clinton “as akin to that of an enforcer”, and afterwards was called “the Clinton administration's King Kong Kibitzer”—with today her and her law firm being known as the “alleged kingpin of the Hillary network”. [Note: Some words and/or phrases appearing in quotes in this report are English language approximations of Russian words/phrases having no exact counterpart.]

http://www.whatdoesitmean.com/capp1.jpg

Willkie Farr & Gallagher Co-Chairman Gordon Caplan (above) leaves US Federal Court House in New York City on 12 March 2019 after his FBI arrest

According to this report, the SVR is a vital part of Russia's security system aimed at protecting the individual, society and the state from external threats by using the means and resources stipulated in Federal Law—that allows them to investigate threats to national security—the current greatest of which is the socialist-led American political Democrat Party, whose top leaders falsely claimed that Russiainterfered in their 2016 US presidential election, an interference they called “an act of war”.

With the only evidence the Democrat Party socialists had to base their false claim on that Russia interfered in their nation’s election being the made up fairy tale called the Trump-Russia Dossier, this report notes, SVR analysts became perplexed when this entire hoax wasn’t shut down last year after this dossier’s author, former MI6 operative Christopher Steele, admitted under oath that he created it after being paid millions-of-dollars by a company called Fusion-GPSwho was working on behalf of Hillary Clinton so she could use it to contest her election loss to Trump.

Equally as perplexing to the SVR, this report says, was why this entire fake Russia scheme against Trump wasn’t shut down after it was further revealed that this made up dossier was illegally secreted into the FBI by Nellie Ohr—who was the wife of Bruce Ohr, the number-three top official in the Obama Regime’s US Justice Department, and was discovered to be being secretly paid by Fusion GPS, the US Justice Department and the CIA for the crimes she was committing—and whose actions ignited the nonsensical probe into Trump that, according to under oath testimony given by former top FBI lawyer Lisa Page, was begun after the Obama US Justice Department shockingly ordered the FBI not to file any criminal charges against Hillary Clinton.

http://www.whatdoesitmean.com/capp3.jpg

List keeps growing of Obama-Clinton officials firmly linked to coup plot against President Trump

With evidence overflowing in the US federal legal system and Congressional hearing rooms proving the main parts and persons involved in this amateurish coup plot against President Trump, to such an extent whole volumes have been written about it—one of the most eviscerating being “The Russia Hoax: The Illicit Scheme to Clear Hillary Clinton and Frame Donald Trump”, this report continues, SVRanalysts noted with surprise the April-2018 raid by the FBI on Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen—one of the most unique raids in all American history as it involved the FBI seizing from Cohen all of his protected attorney-client documents—which are the most protected and sacrosanct documents under US law.

In a beyond belief shocking response to the FBI seizing all of Cohen’s protected attorney-client documents, this report details, not a single objection was raised to this gross affront to the American legal system by either the US federal courts, mainstream media or politicians—and is why the SVR labeled this raid as being a “red herring” (something that misleads or distracts from a relevant or important question) designed to test President Trump’s powers to use the entire US federal legal system to his advantage.

The Next Step in Social Security’s Ponzi Scheme

1. https://mises-media.s3.amazonaws.com...?itok=MQ95bsl0

Gary Galles

On January 30, Rep. John Larson and 200 Democratic co-sponsors introduced the Social Security 2100 Act. Portrayed as giving retirees long-overdue benefit increases, it would actually add another step to Social Security’s long-running Ponzi scheme.


Despite Democrats' history of rejecting that term for Social Security, it has been the biggest series of Ponzi schemes in history, redistributing tens of trillions of dollars of wealth to earlier recipients from subsequent generations.


After Social Security’s creation, those in or near retirement got benefits far exceeding their costs (Ida Mae Fuller, the first recipient, got 462 times total contributions made on her behalf). Those excess benefits inherently required that future Americans would have to pick up the tab for the difference.

Social Security has also been expanded multiple times. Each expansion meant those already retired paid no added taxes, and those near retirement paid a bit more for only a few years. But both groups received increased benefits throughout retirement, increasing the unfunded benefits whose burdens had to be borne by later generations. Thus, each such expansion started another Ponzi cycle benefiting older Americans at others’ expense.

Social Security benefits doubled between 1950 and 1952. They were raised 15 percent in 1970, 10 percent in 1971, and 20 percent in 1972, in a competition to buy the elderly vote. Benefits were tied to a measure that effectively double-counted inflation and even now, benefits are over-indexed to inflation, raising real benefit levels over time.

Disability and dependents’ benefits were added by 1960. Medicare was added in 1966, and benefits have been expanded (e.g., Medicare Part B, only one-quarter funded by recipients, and Part D’s prescription drug benefit, only one-eighth funded by recipients).

The Social Security 2100 Act would be the next episode. It would increase all retirees’ benefits (including current retirees who would pay nothing toward the boost) and increase the inflation (over)adjustment for benefits, picking future high-income earners’ pockets to pay for the vast majority of it, by taxing wage income beyond the $132,900 ceiling now in place (eventually to all wage income).

With the multiple Ponzi giveaways to recipients creating Social Security’s 13-digit unfunded liability and Medicare’s far larger one, how can the proposed law be rationalized? Without the benefit of being in the startup generation of earlier Ponzi expansions, the present generation is being forced to begin bearing some of the costs.

This was illustrated by an Urban Institute study of lifetime payroll taxes and benefits. Especially with recent expansions, Medicare, recipients were getting a great deal. In 2012 dollars, an average-wage-earning male would get $180,000 in benefits, $119,000 more than their contributions. A similarly situated female did even better. In sum, it yielded “excess” benefits of $105 trillion, with net benefits increasing over time.

However, for Social Security, whose major Ponzi expansions came further in the past, an average-earning male retiring in 2010 would make $300,000 in contributions, for only $277,000 in lifetime benefits. For women, with smaller average lifetime contributions and longer life expectancies, it was about a wash. And things are worsening. By 2030, that such men will be “shorted” 16 cents (10 cents for women) of every tax dollar paid.

Social Security is now a “bad deal” for current and future recipients precisely because the costs of its Ponzi structure are starting to be felt. But rather than admit that their “greatest accomplishment” relied on massive theft from future Americans, they want to restart the scheme, keeping restive seniors in their camp, by dumping even-greater burdens on future generations than they already have (hidden behind a flimsy cover story that high-income earners, actually big net losers from the system, would finally be forced to pay their “fair share”).


Democrats think they can finesse older Americans out of their votes for still more elections with Ponzi Security. But if other Americans recognized the dishonest ploy aimed at their wallets, they might end up in the electoral wilderness instead.
