Why are the global elite buying extremely remote compounds that come
with their own private airstrips in the middle of nowhere on the other
side of the planet? And why did they start dumping stocks like crazy
earlier this year? Do they know something that the rest of us don’t?
The things that I am about to share with you are quite alarming. It
appears that the global elite have a really good idea of what is coming,
and they have already taken substantial steps to prepare for it.
Sadly, most of the general population is absolutely clueless about the
financial collapse that is about to take place, and thus most of them
will be completely blindsided by it.

The Numbers Are In: China Dumps A Record $94 Billion In US Treasurys In One Month
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/07/2015 - 08:22 The data point everyone has been waiting on is out and, just as we tipped weeks ago, China liquidated nearly $100 billion in USD assets during the month of August in support of the yuan.Another Chinese Chemical Plant Explodes, Huge Clouds Of Black Smoke Billow Skyward

Even The Mainstream Economists Are Fed Up With The Fed
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/07/2015 - 13:16 There is strong evidence that economies perform better with a tight labor market and, as the International Monetary Fund has shown, lower inequality (and the former typically leads to the latter). Of course, the financiers and corporate executives who pay $1,000 to attend the Jackson Hole meeting see things differently: Low wages mean high profits, and low interest rates mean high stock prices. Statements from Fed officials that the economy has virtually returned to normal are met with derision. Perhaps that is true in the neighborhoods where the officials live. But, with the bulk of the increase in incomes since the US “recovery” began going to the top 1% of earners, it is not true for most communities. Simply put, in the US, workers are being asked to sacrifice their livelihoods and wellbeing to protect well-heeled financiers from the consequences of their own recklessness.
France Prepares To Bomb Syria In Retaliation For Refugee Crisis
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/07/2015 - 13:02 Filed under 'what the f##k?', French President Francois Hollande is preparing for air strikes in Syria in a somewhat mind-numbing approach to to stem a flood of refugees from the Middle East into Europe. Using the always-ready excuse of "grappling with the threat of terrorism," Bloomberg reports Hollande's response to Europe’s biggest refugee crisis since World War II by increasing the bombing of the very place from which the refugees are fleeing...
If You Think That Was A Crash...
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/07/2015 - 11:10 Last week’s volatility to the downside was entirely predictable, as the first leg down during this ongoing market crash reached the correction stage of 11%. The technical bounce was a given, as the 30 year old HFT MBAs on Wall Street have been trained like rats to BTFD. In their lemming like minds, it has worked for the last six years of this Federal Reserve created “bull market”, so why wouldn’t it work now. Last week was their first lesson in why it doesn’t work during bear markets, and we’ve entered a bear market. John Hussman seems amused at the shallowness of the arguments by Wall Street shills and CNBC cheerleaders about the future of the stock market in his weekly letter. After this modest pullback from all-time highs, the S&P 500 is still overvalued by 92%...
Meanwhile In Brussels, Farmers Take On The Riot Police With "Hay Cannon"
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/07/2015 - 11:53 As events unfold that have to be seen to be be believed in Belgian capital Brussels, European farmers - protesting plunging food prices, blamed on Russia's food embargo, which was retaliation to Europe and US sanctions - are demanding EU intervention to bail them out. What was originally a parade of tractors quickly turned violent as farm equipment rammed police barricades and police released tear gas and water jets in response to the farmers unleashing their "hay cannon." Boomerang anyone? "EU farmers are paying the price for international politics...There have been hundreds of suicides as a result of disastrous agricultural policies."

More "Seller Strikes"? ECB Monetizes Fewest Bonds In August Since Start Of Q€
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/07/2015 - 11:35 What is the reason for the drop? Well, one can believe the ECB's stated explanation which is that due to European summer vacations, activity in Europe has ground to a halt. Of course, this would suggest that monetization in the Eurozone is continent on managers' summer vacation plans, which is probably an even more troubling explanation of ECB activity bottlenecks than what may be really going on in Europe. The alternative? As we noted over the weekend when we reported that now even the IMF is discussing the upcoming limits to BOJ QE as a result of sellers running out of BOJs to hand over to the BOJ, the same may be taking place in Europe
Mass Confusion: Fate Of US Treasurys Is Great Unknown Amid China Dumping

The Situation That Smoldered For Decades Is Now Exploding
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/07/2015 - 10:10 Don’t expect to see any end to desperation and instability in MENA, but do expect new demographic crises out of other regions: Indonesia, Ukraine, Pakistan, West Africa, and Brazil, with its cratering economy. It’s not inconceivable that China might bust apart politically, with centrifugal consequences. The global economy is contracting. We have indeed attained the limits to growth. Cheap oil is bygone and the capital infrastructure we have won’t run on expensive oil — including the oil industry itself. New technology or further central bank legerdemain is not going to fix that. We’re in population overshoot and a scramble is underway to bail on the places that just can’t support the people who live there. National boundaries will be defended. Sentimentalists will have to step aside. History is not a bedtime story about bunnies and kittens.
Glencore Capitulates: Scrambles To Avoid Default By Selling Equity, Dumping Assets, Cutting Dividend
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/07/2015 - 09:37 Early this morning Glencore finally capitulated and admitted defeat not only on its expansionary phase (it was just last year Glencore had approached Rio Tinto to engage in a merger), but on its shareholder "friendliness", with a stunning annoucement that it would proceed in a $10 billion debt reduction, issuing $2.5 billion in equity in the form of a rights offering, sell $2 billion worth of assets (such as "proposed precious metals streaming transaction(s) and the minority participation of 3rd party strategic investors in certain of Glencore’s agriculture assets, including infrastructure"), cut working capital by $1.5 billion, cut capex and its loan book by a further $1-$1.8 billion... oh, and it would also scrap its final $1.6 billion dividend as well as next year's interim payout, saving a further $2.4 billion. All this because our "best way to trade China's blow up" was finally picking up steam.
Chinese Stocks Surge Then Tumble At The Close, Stun Market News Algos; Futures Levitate On Back Of USDJPY
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/07/2015 - 07:50 Chinese stocks opened with a bang, and as we previously noted soared higher at the open after China's long 4-day holiday weekend, which however subsequently slowly (but very surely) fizzled, eating away at the hope that the 3-day drop in the Shanghai Composite would finally come to an end following comments from PBOC governor Zhou that the recent rout in Chinese stocks is almost over, and result in a relief rally in Europe and the US. Alas, all that was promptly swept away at the end of trading in China when the Shanghai Composite tumbled at close of trading to confirm just how unpleasant a "death cross" is coupled with loss of central bank control, and to push the Shanghai Composite down 2.5% for the day and 3.4% for the year.This is an excerpt from my new interview with researcher and film maker Sofia Smallstorm. The full interview about the Corporation of the United States will post Labor Day evening. In this important excerpt, Sofia and I cover a few of the glaring questions surrounding the alleged “shooting” of reporter Alison Parker in Virginia. As Sofia rightly notes, when our government has turned overtly criminal, “We have to question the nature of the event.”
Today one of the greats in the business discussed the 1998 and 2008 crises, Marc Faber and trapped central banks.Eric King: “Rick, you’ve had a chance to read the Dr. Marc Faber interview (on KWN). He was talking about the money printing binge all over the world and the fact if they are going to get the global bull market in stocks going again it’s going to require huge amounts of liquidity injections to be pumped into the system.”
Rick Rule: “Well, first off thanks for posting it. Faber is obviously comfortable interviewing with you and you tend to get the best out of him, which I appreciate because I always enjoy reading Marc. And if you look at Marc’s track record going back 20 or 30 years in the Barrons Roundtable, he’s been an amazingly prescient observer…

Increasingly, the leaders of Great Britain appear to be losing their
minds, further demonstrating that they seem incapable of distinguishing
good, moral public policy from bad.
As noted over at Liberty Blitzkrieg, the British government has essentially launched a war on toddlers with the implementation of a policy aimed at forcing nursery school teachers to identify “extremist” children to the government.
Michael Krieger of Liberty Blitzkrieg wrote back in January of the rising insanity behind Britain’s approach to combating terrorism. A new “counter-terrorism” measure that was under consideration in the British parliament at the time would require nursery school personnel to “report” toddlers they identified as being at risk of being influenced or recruited by terrorists.

Hillary Clinton took another pass at trying to answer the questions
surrounding her use of a private email server as secretary of state, but
once again came up short.
During an interview which aired on Friday, MSNBC’s Andrew Mitchell gave her an open-ended opportunity to address the issue squarely, but the presidential candidate responded with less than satisfying answers.
Mitchell first asked, “Did anyone in your inner-circle say this is not a good idea, let’s not do this?” regarding the use of a private server. Clinton responded with an answer that does not evoke confidence in someone seeking the highest office in the land. “You know, I was not thinking a lot [emphasis added] when I got in. There was so much work to be done. We had so many problems around the world. I didn’t really stop and think, ‘What kind of email system will there be?’”

The powers are hiding a coming collapse. The American economy is being propped up with fraud and crime and time is running out. Kirby explains, “The whole world is grading America and America is burning. When you are burning, it is really hard to put out a message or convince people that all is well. America is failing in spades at doing this. Rigging markets and acting in a sociopathic nature doesn’t make this job easier and doesn’t make it true because they say so. They have idiots making pronouncements that a weak jobs number is good tonic and a good basis for raising rates. It clearly isn’t. . . . We are living in “Alice in Wonderland” with the comments we are getting out of this administration.”

As traders, investors and pundits, we all like to think that what we
do is akin to a science. We believe that by working harder and being
smarter we can give ourselves an edge, that enough research will reveal
to us the next move, either a long term trend or an intraday blip on a
chart, and that we can profit from that knowledge. Usually, especially
over longer time spans, we are correct in that assumption. Sometimes,
however, no amount of fundamental or technical analysis will help.
Over the last week or so we have seen some violent swings in the price of oil, swings that in many ways defy logic. At times like these we have to rely on the art, rather than science, of trading and reading markets. That is not to say that traders and investors at home should be simply making wild guesses. It is just that right now, the oil markets are trading on factors other than the fundamental influences that we are used to. It is hard to chart fear and panic.

bargain effectively for higher wages.
Economic recovery is an illusion. A protracted Main Street Depression persists. Poverty is a growth industry. Around 23% of Americans wanting work can’t find it.
Most available jobs are rotten ones – temp or part-time low pay/poor or no benefit service ones with no futures. Conditions are getting worse, not better.

It’s no secret that American history is littered with examples of truly
horrendous crimes, most of which were committed by our own government.
In the past, the feds have been known to confiscate wealth from American citizens, conduct scientific experiments on unwitting and unwilling subjects, round up citizens into internment camps, and commit genocide against native ethnic groups, among many other crimes.
In recent years our government has apologized for these incidents, and has tried to convince us that its brutal nature is all in the past. Of course, nothing could be further from the truth; especially in regards to the use of nuclear weapons against civilian populations, which our government has never apologized for. This actually makes sense, since they probably don’t even view mass civilian casualties as a crime in the first place. As our recent overseas wars have shown, our government still has no qualms about inflicting collateral damage, and no amount of apologizing for past crimes can cover up that fact.
