The Unlikely Rise Of Donald Trump And Bernie Sanders
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 08/19/2015 - 20:55 The rise of populism is not just a U.S. issue. Globalization and deregulation, especially with regard to the open adoption of new technology and work structures, is increasingly being called into question. As we have discussed previously, there is increasing potential that major political and economic changes will emerge from this vote. The emergence of Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders is a reflection that the populists want a change in the direction of American policy. We will be watching closely to see whether any serious changes result.filed under (unt
It Begins - Hillary "Trump'd" By The Donald In Key Swing State
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 08/19/2015 - 22:30 It appears the deceitful imbroglio of Hillary's campaign have begun to wear on her most admiring ("well everyone lies a little bit right?") apologists and voters. As The Hill reports, Donald Trump tops Hillary Clinton (45% to 42%) in the latest poll from swing-state North Carolina. Clinton tops Jeb Bush and Rand Paul, so there's that, but eight Republicans (including Trump) are beating the former secretary of state. Perhaps most notably however, is that a new survey from FOX shows Trump (45%) closing in on Hillary (51%) in the presidential election matchup.
Economic Crisis Goes Mainstream - What Happens Next?
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 08/19/2015 - 22:00 Last year, when alternative economic analysts were warning that the commodities crush and oil crash just after the taper of QE3 were blaring signals for a downshift in all other financial indicators, the general response in the mainstream was that we were overreacting and paranoid and that the commodities jolt was temporary. Perhaps the fact needs repeating that it’s not paranoia if they are really out to get you. Only a short time later, it is truly amazing how the rhetoric from the mainstream economic yes-men is changing. So now that the mainstream is willing to report on clear economic dangers, what happens next?China Strengthens Yuan By Most In 2 Months Amid Another Massive Liquidity Injection, Stocks Indicated Lower Pre-Open
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 08/19/2015 - 21:25 The PBOC set the Yuan fix 0.08% stronger - the biggest 'strengthening in 2 months, which is interesting because following The IMF's confirmation of a delay to Yuan inclusion in the SDR basket to Oct 2016 (pending a year-end decision and aksing for more flexibility), Offshore Yuan forwards notably devalued (shifting 350pips higher to 6.65, the highest/weakest Yuan in a week) pricing a 20 handle (or 3%) devaluation by August 2016. Overnight saw another CNY110bn liquidity injection rescue from The PPT in the afternoon session (saving SHCOMP from a close below the 200DMA) and tonight we see promise to recap Ag Bank along with another CNY 120bn reverse repo injection. Shanghai margin debt declined for a 2nd day in a row and Chinese stocks look set to open weaker.
Lehman's Gift To Jeb Bush For Funneling Pension Money: A $1.3 Million Consulting "Job"
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 08/19/2015 - 23:14 At this point, it almost feels like kicking someone while he’s down. Jeb Bush can’t even stand up to Donald Trump, let alone his own growing series of scandals.Greenspan and "The Bernank" should be kept on life support until the penalty phase of their trial for treason is complete and can be carried out...
A month ago, I published a post titled, The Beatings Will Continue Until Morale Improves – Spain Officially Becomes a Police State,
which covered the implementation of the nation’s incredibly
authoritarian “gag laws.” Amongst other things, the laws criminalized
protesting, including free speech on the internet and “photographing
police.” The elements of the law relevant to today’s post are the
following. Naturally, it didn’t take long for such a law to be used
agains the helpless plebs, as an unidentified Spanish woman has been
fined $900 for posting a picture of local police parked in a handicapped
spot to Facebook.The Guardian reports:

The reason the Miles Franklin Blog spends
so much time discussing the (horrifying) state of the global economy
and financial markets is decidedly not for “fun.” However, I have to
admit, I have a rare gene that triggers “pleasure” when disseminating
such information – particularly as I know so few others are doing so.
However, as was the case when writing “call notes” and research reports
at Southcoast Capital and Salomon Smith Barney from 1998-2005,
ultimately our goal is to catalyze action.
Sometimes, our commentary is very broad, discussing “long shelf-life” themes – like the inevitable destruction of fiat currency regimes, and timeless value of Precious Metals. However, sometimes time is of the essence. And given our belief that not only has the “Big One” commenced; but that silver shortages – potentially, similar to 2008 – may be imminent, we are trying to incorporate an urgency we typically eschew.

The EU Commission is refusing to let independent researchers anywhere near a recent glyphosate risk assessment. Of course, it makes people wonder all the more when the Commission says there should be no overriding “public interest” and acts as though revealing the results were a matter of national security.
Unlike propagandists acting as scientism skeptics, who pretend it’s safe to drink glyphosate (the active ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup herbicide) – many other studies and observations prove that human exposure is hazardous. Sometimes it’s finding out that glyphosate can lead to breast cancer in parts per trillion, that it hijacks hormones and is found in breast milk and in rain samples. Sometimes it’s a farmer waking up to discover that his piglets are deformed and dying – so he sends them off to a lab. Sometimes you find out that the so-called experts who tell us to “trust science” as they pretend to drink glyphosate are actually getting funds from Monsanto.

More than 3,000 books from a municipal library in the German town of
Bad Durrheim were destroyed after they were judged to be politically
incorrect.
According to Roland Tichy, chairman of the Ludwig-Erhard-Foundation and the former editor of the business news magazine Wirtschaftswoche, the purge focused on author Erich Kästner and others who used “incorrect” words such as “Negro” and “Gypsy.”
Kästner is the author of a number of popular books, including “The Flying Classroom,” “Pünktchen und Anton,” and ”Lottie and Lisa.” He received the international Hans Christian Andersen Medal in 1960 for his autobiography “Als ich ein kleiner Junge war.” He was also elected President of the PEN Center of West Germany.

[Ed. Note: Just a note for newcomers, HSBC is and has been one of the most criminal banks on earth for more than a century. HSBC also happens to be the custodian of the GLD ETF. ]
by Peter Cooper, Arabian Money:
HSBC, the fourth-largest bank in the world, is predicting that the
price of gold will be up 10 per cent by the end of this year and finish
the year worth around $1,225 an ounce. Gold is down six per cent
year-to-date.
The bank believes Goldman Sachs and other commentators are wrong to say gold will fall in price as interest rates go up. HSBC’s analysis of the data showed that the last four times that the Fed raised interest rates the gold price went up, not down.
Fed policy change? The Federal Reserve is widely expected to raise rates later this year for the first time since 2006, albeit the Chinese equity crash, devaluation and trade slowdown might well scupper that plan anyway.

Bill Holter: Chinese Join Currency War & Gold Backwardation is Back!by Collin Kettell on August 19, 2015
Did China just join the currency war? What will the world look like in 6 months? Bill Holter questions what will even be left…
Takeaways from this week’s interview -
• A devalued Yuan makes it almost impossible for the Fed to raise rates and Bill will be shocked if they do!
• The Chinese just reported a stockpile of over 1,800 tons of gold, but Bill isn’t buying it. So how much do they have?
• How the dollar becoming strong, may actually kill the dollar?
• Gold is back in backwardation, indicating a rising level of global fear
• An update on Ukraine and Greece
