When Wall Street Gets DeFANGed - Look Out Below!

In a word, the gamblers are piling on to the last train out of the station. And that means look out below!

Baltic Dry Index Hits New, ALL-TIME LOW

by Jeff Nielson, Bullion Bulls:
This is not a new subject, either on this site, or more generally. Roughly a year ago; the BDI began a nose-dive. And by eight months ago; we were already looking at an apparent “crisis” in this Index.
Baltic Dry Index Crashes: Calamity or False-Alarm?
But let me back-up, for readers who are not familiar with this Index. The Baltic Dry Index is a measurement of global SHIPPING ACTIVITY. Most of what is traded in the world is transported by sea, and by freighter. So when we see this shipping activity plummet, this is generally a very reliable indicator of an overall economic collapse.

Hillary Clinton Needs a Safe Space – Aides Demand Comedy Club Remove Video Making Fun of Her

from Liberty Blitzkrieg:

The one upside of Hillary Clinton becoming President, is that her endless stream of stupidity will result in more content for this writer than I could ever imagine.
Hot off her recent debate performance in which she claimed that the reason she is owned by Wall Street is because of 9/11, her aides are now demanding a Hollywood comedy club take down a video of comedians mocking her.
Just in case you have any doubt about what a Hillary presidency would look like, we learn from Judicial Watch:

Canada Sued Over Genetically Modified Salmon Calamity

by Christina Sarich, Natural Society:
In a sneaky plan to get around regulatory approval, one US-based company tried to ship genetically modified salmon eggs to Prince Edward Island in Canada, which were then meant to be sent to Panama to be used in what activists are calling a ‘huge, live experiment’ which could have permanently damaged non-GM salmon. The Canadian government will have to answer for its part in the scheme in a lawsuit mounted by environmental groups.
AquaBounty Technologies, based in Massachusetts, has assured the world that its genetically modified fish pose no threat to the environment and would be kept in special disease- and antibiotic-free conditions. The company also claims that the modified fish can grow to the size of wild salmon with 75% less feed, reducing the carbon footprint, but they also fail to mention that trials of GM salmon did not go as well as the they planned.

Rand Paul: Call For More Surveillance After Paris Attacks Is “BULLSH*T”

“Are you allowed to use profanity? Are we in the free speech zone?”
by Steve Watson, Infowars:
GOP presidential candidate Rand Paul did not mince words in a campaign stop at George Mason University, Virginia Thursday, labeling a call for increased government surveillance as “Bullshit”.
“So when they stand up on television and says ‘the tragedy in Paris means you have to give up your liberty. We need more phone surveillance.’ Bullshit.” Paul told a crowed of students who enthusiastically cheered.
“Are you allowed to use profanity? Is that part of the– are we in the free speech zone?” the Libertarian leaning Paul quipped.

Geoengineering Now Becoming a Global Business, While Mainstream Media and Government Continue to Deny the Truth

by L.J. Devon, Natural News:
It’s a subject that no reporter wants to talk about in the mainstream media. It’s a topic that government officials prefer to keep hush-hush. Weather manipulation is a shadowy, controversial topic that has gone under the radar for decades. Geoengineering dates all the way back to 1946, when a chemist working for General Electric, Vincent Schaefer, introduced cloud seeding techniques that he invented in a laboratory freezer.
Through the years, cloud seeding chemists have introduced new ways to manipulate the weather using planes and mass aerial dispersal of chemicals. Today, there are entire companies that specialize in controlling the weather; for instance, one European company charges wedding planners $150,000 to guarantee a rain-free wedding day. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reports that 55 cloud seeding projects took place last year in the US alone.
Geoengineering is not just a theory. It’s a global business that empowers the “elite,” allowing them to play with elements, planes, clouds and precipitation as if they are the region’s rain god.

Get Ready for Crazy

by Jeff Thomas, Sprott Money:
Recently, the Honduras homes and businesses of the family of Jaime Rosenthal were raided by the Honduran government. The properties themselves were seized and other assets taken. The family-owned bank was also seized and has been forced into liquidation, creating potential financial crisis for its 220,000 clients.
Throngs of angry clients, unable to go about their personal and professional business, have blocked surrounding streets, demanding the release of their savings.
In response, the government has promised that each depositor will have the opportunity to withdraw up to US$9,600 from other banks, beginning with the smallest depositors.

The Fed Has Set the Stage For the Next Stock Market Crash

by Graham Summers, GoldSeek:
The Fed has created a very dangerous situation.
Ever since 2009, anytime the markets came close to breaking down, “someone” (read: the FED) has stepped in a propped the markets up.
In 2010, the S&P 500 staged a death cross, where its 50-DMA broke below its 126-DMA (the half year moving average). Stocks were in a perilous state with the 2008 Crash still in everyone’s short-term memory.
The Fed stepped in, hinting at, then all but promising, and then finally launching QE 2 in July, August, and then November, respectively.

Jim Rogers: Focus on Russia, Asia

from The Daily Bell:
Legendary investor Jim Rogers joins EM’s Global Advisory Board … Iconic founder of the Quantum Fund to advise leading emerging markets focused financial and corporate communications agency. EM, the leading emerging markets focused financial PR and IR consultancy, is delighted to announce that world-renowned investor Jim Rogers has agreed to join its Global Advisory Board … Tom Blackwell, CEO of EM, said: “We are thrilled that Jim Rogers has agreed to join our Board. He is one of the all-time greats in the international investment world, and we share his long-term optimism for the development of our core markets of Russia and China. – Globe Newswire
Dominant Social Theme: Russia? China? Not good investments at this point. They’ve had their day in the sun.
Free-Market Analysis: This release excerpted above is interesting because it affirms Jim Rogers‘s abiding interest in Russia and China. While Rogers has made better and worse calls like any other “guru,” his instinct about China so many years ago has proven correct, at least to the present, and for the first decade of the 2000s he proved correct about gold and silver as well. Jim Rogers’s interest in Russia is more recent and we wonder if this will prove out the way China did. He has already claimed to have investments in Russia, and we wrote about them here. We thought his enthusiasm for Russia might have been damped by the recent Syrian military action, as Russia is now engaged in a boots-on-the-ground war in that country. Apparently not.

21st Century Banking: A World Run By Parasites

by Jeff Nielson, Bullion Bulls:
Banks are parasites. Big Banks are very large parasites. It is the fundamental equation of human commerce in the 21st century.
Bankers are the quintessential middle-men: contributing nothing to our economies, while blood-sucking us for assorted “fees”, and (most importantly) interest payments. Many readers will object to this characterization. They will argue that banks and bankers “facilitate” commerce, and thus (somehow) “earn” the vast sums of capital which relentlessly flow into their vaults.
Wrong. Bankers facilitate debt, and the parasitic interest payments which flow from that debt. Commerce facilitates itself. If someone wants to start a new business, that person simply invests his/her savings into that enterprise, and the business is started. If a corporation wants to expand its operations, it uses its profits to pay for that expansion. It’s called “capitalism.”

Iran News: ISIS Groomed ‘By Zionists, Americans,’ Paris Attack a ‘Plot’ to Send Army to Mid-East

by Michael W. Chapman, CNSnews:
One of the leading daily newspapers in Iran, Kayhan, which is affiliated with the Supreme Leader Sayeed Ali Khamenei, is reporting that ISIS, or the Islamic State, is “a tool” of the United States and Israel and that the attacks in Paris were “a plot” to open the way for a Western army to to set down in Syria and remove President Bashar al-Assad.
As translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), Kayhan’s Editor Hossein Shariatmadari wrote on Nov. 15 that “ISIS elements are not the good soldiers of Iran and Hizbullah, who defend the innocent with their bodies. Rather, they are people with no sense, cultivated by the Zionists, Americans, British, French, and Saudis, and will attack anywhere there is an opportunity. … The French are paying for the crimes of their ministers.”
“Edward Snowden revealed that the CIA and Mossad were involved in establishing ISIS, which they called a ‘wasps’ nest’ that would attract extremists and create a security [buffer] for the Zionist regime,” stated the Kayhan.  Snowden further revealed that the ISIS leader had been trained extensively by the Mossad for a year, in both military tactics and public speaking.”
