Submitted by Tyler Durden on 02/02/2016 - 15:54 Now that Shkreli is under house arrest and with drug prices continuing to surge with every passing year now that "America's most hated man" is looking at years behind bars, we wonder: where is the outrage? We can't help but wonder: was Martin Shkreli nothing more than a distraction to the real corruption taking place behind the scenes?

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 02/02/2016 - 14:55 Yield “fatigue” may be overtaking yield “euphoria”.

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 02/02/2016 - 13:55 As the head-shrinking Zika outbreak worsens in Brazil with nearly 4,000 cases of microcephaly since the beginning of last year, it's Dilma versus the mosquitoes, and she's going to win even if it means breaking into Brazilians' homes.

Hillary "Flips" Off Bernie; Won Six Straight Coin Tosses In Bizarre Caucus Tiebreaker
“I honestly don’t know what happened. I know there are some precincts that have still not reported. I can only hope and expect that the count will be honest. I have no idea. Did we win the popular vote? I don’t know."

Simple...The London gold/silver fix was established in 1919 principally by the House of Rothschild to enable the Rothschilds to control international money markets through the manipulation of the price of gold. The daily gold/silver fix was conducted in the offices of N.M. Rothschild and Company. Fast-forward to 2016 and very little about the London fix has changed, other than some of the names involved with setting the “fix.”
As most of you know by know, the London price fix committee “fixed” the price of silver 84 cents below the market price as represented by silver futures trading. In the context of the daily interventions in the precious metals market in London and NYC, this act of manipulation was a particularly brazen display of contemptuous disregard for anti-collusion laws.

[Ed. Note: As we noted Monday night here,
entrance polls showed Trump 5 points ahead of Cruz, but he lost be
nearly 5 points. Did Microsoft steal the Iowa caucus victory from
Trump?]
from The Political Insider:
As Iowa caucus-goers vote Monday in the critical early primaries for
Republicans and Democrats, major questions are being raised about the
company in charge of counting the votes!
Software giant Microsoft, which volunteered to provide the technology to tally caucus votes in these close elections, is a major political donor and pro-amnesty advocate.
Because of Senator Marco Rubio’s (R-FL) role in the “Gang of 8” amnesty legislation, they have become Rubio’s second largest contributor. Since 2011, they have already donated $33,100.

Hillary Clinton has got a real fight on her hands.
The one-time front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination faces a protracted two-person race following a virtual tie in the Iowa caucuses on Monday after half the voters disillusioned by Washington turned against the establishment politician.
Her rival, Bernie Sanders, an independent senator from Vermont, galvanized a group of Democrats including many younger, first-time, low-income voters, promising to be the champion of the underpaid, overworked American worker.

All over America, rates of violent crime are absolutely soaring. As you will see below, violent crime overall shot up by 20 percent in Los Angeles last year, and the police are telling people that “they need to be able to protect themselves” because the police may not be able to get there in time when they call. Thanks to deep budget cuts, police departments across the nation are already severely undermanned, and our major cities are now seeing crime rates increase at a pace that we have not seen in ages. In a previous article, I encouraged my readers to focus on the five basics of preparation – food, water, shelter, energy and self-defense. Of those five, it is often self-defense that is the most neglected. When bad people break into your house in the middle of the night intending to do bad things, what are you going to do? Many of us have not had to think about that for a long time, but now conditions are rapidly changing in America.

Big
Brother does not watch us, by his choice. We watch him, by ours. There
is no need for wardens or gates or Ministries of Truth. When a
population becomes distracted by trivia, when cultural life is redefined
as a perpetual round of entertainments, when serious public
conversation becomes a form of baby-talk, when, in short, a people
become an audience and their public business a vaudeville act, then a
nation finds itself at risk; a culture-death is a clear possibility. — Professor Neil Postman
If there are two spectacles that are almost guaranteed to render Americans passive viewers, incapable of doing little more than cheering on their respective teams, it’s football and politics—specifically, the Super Bowl and the quadrennial presidential election.

The US federal government debt is now $19 trillion, having risen over a trillion each year of the Obama administration.
This article will examine US economic status, and obvious solutions promoted by many of America’s brightest minds since Benjamin Franklin wrote a pamphlet how colonial Pennsylvania operated its government without taxes, and which we could easily do today.
Let’s examine just some of the facts of the current US economy that demonstrates it’s criminal status:
