Hillary Clinton: The War with Russia (and China?) Candidate...

from Rogue Money:
One of the best lines in Hillary Clinton’s acceptance speech came when she quoted Jackie Kennedy’s relief that “little men” weren’t in charge during the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, when the world came, as Robert McNamara once told me, “just inches” from nuclear war.
If the Republican candidate for president can be “bait[ed] with a tweet,” as Clinton so memorably put it—if that disqualifies him from handling nuclear weapons, as she said—then the risk of World War III should be an issue in the 2016 campaign. Beyond his manifestly unsuitable temperament, Donald Trump will “endanger the world as we know it,” as Sen. Cory Booker put it. If you bust up the architecture of the postwar world—as Trump is threatening to do, either intentionally or out of ignorance—the war-and-peace conversation is not only fair, but necessary.

Can Hillary Be Trusted? Campaign Says We'll Just Have To Elect Her To Find Out

Clinton campaign manager suggests that we'll just have to elect Hillary to see if she can be trusted. 

Michael Hudson: Obama Said Hillary Will Continue His Legacy – And Indeed She Will!

Trump is right in saying that there has not really been a recovery for the Rust Belt or for the 99%. Hillary brazens it out by claiming Obama's neoliberal economics have helped wage-earners, despite the debt deflation blocking recovery. She promises to continue his policies (backed by his same campaign funders). That would seem to be a losing strategy for this year's election – unless the Democrats gain control of the electronic voting machines, especially in Ohio.

Steve Wynn: Trump Vs Hillary Is A Distraction From The Real Problem, Which Ends With "Wheelbarrows Full Of Money"

"The issue about what's going to happen with the election isn't so much an issue of Trump versus Clinton at the moment. It's a question of whether the House and the Senate and the executive branch can get together and make Americans feel safer and have a fiscal and monetary policy that isn't self-destructive, which currently it is.... In the history of the Western world, inflating your way out of this kind of a problem, people went grocery shopping with wheelbarrows full of currency."

Hillary Lead Over Trump Surges After Reuters "Tweaks" Poll

This is how one tumbles from a 1-point lead to a 6-point loss in 3 days thanks to the miracle of a "non-GAAP" polling "adjustment."

Gold Passes A Major Milestone

As of month-end today, gold is up over 27% from its Dec-15 lows. This a major milestone – any time gold has managed a move of at least 25% off a major low, it has continued higher every single time with incremental gains ranging from 21%-412%, with the average totaling 175%.

The FDA's Cigar Fascism

The FDA has caused hundreds of thousands of deaths through its policies. In a truly free society, private market regulation would regulate it out of existence. When that happens, I won't be the only one lighting up a Partagás to celebrate.

The Cyberwars Begin: NSA Hackers Target Russian Cyber Spies As Kremlin Says It Is Being Attacked

US government hackers at the National Security Agency are now targeting Russian government-linked hacking teams "to see once and for all if they're responsible for the massive breach at the Democratic National Committee." At the same time, Russia's intelligence service said it was the target of a coordinated cyber attack.

Barack Obama Will Be The Only President In History To Never Have A Year Of 3% GDP Growth

Q2's US GDP growth data just crushed President Obama's 'fiction-peddling' that everything is awesome and those doom-and-gloom reality-pushers are cynical skeptics. Simply put, average annual growth rate during the current 'Obamanomics' business cycle remains the weakest of any expansion since at least 1949 leaving the orator-in-chief on track to be the only President in U.S. history to never have a single year when the economy grew by at least 3%.

The Non-Consumer Economy Is Now In A Recession, Just As Spending Is Set For A "Sharp Pullback"

"On an annual basis, the non-consumer portion of the economy is shrinking not only in real terms but also in nominal terms." And it is about to get worse: "We should expect a sharp pullback in spending this quarter." Is the US on the verge of a full-blown economic slowdown?

Ireland Jails 3 Top Bankers Over 2008 Collapse... Instead Of Bailing Them Out

“By means that could be termed dishonest, deceitful and corrupt, they manufactured 7.2 billion euros in deposits by obvious sham transactions,” Judge Martin Nolan of Ireland said as he convicted three top bankers on Friday for their role in the 2008 financial crisis. They are among the first in the world to be sent to prison for their involvement in the global meltdown eight years ago.

Another "Smoking Gun" Looms As Hillary Campaign Admits Server Hacked

In the third cyberattack on Democratic Party-related servers, Reuters reports that the computer network used by Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s campaign was hacked. This follows hacks of the DNC and the DCCC (the party's fund-raising committee) in the past week. Who to blame this time? Well with US intelligence head Jim Clapper having exclaimed that he was "somewhat taken aback by the hyperventilation [blaming Russia]" by Democratic surrogates, we suspect another scapegoat will need to be found.

Outbreak? Russian Bio Warfare Troops Rushed To Arctic Due To "Dangerous Infection"

The Russian military has reportedly sent biological warfare teams to the Russian arctic in northern Siberia after at least 40 people and 1,200 reindeer died as the result of a violent and rapid spread of what is believed to be Bacillus Anthracis, more commonly known as Anthrax.

Let Them Eat Cake: Venezuela Celebrates Chavez’ Birthday With $100,000 Cake, While Citizens Starve

Nothing describes socialism more aptly than baking a 4 feet tall cake weighing 90 kilos for Hugo Chavez’s birthday (a dead man) while the rest of the country starves, cannot find basic necessities. The cost of the cake would have been 649,200 bolivares (~US 100,000 at the official exchange rate) which is enough to feed up to 500 families

Why Reuters Is Tweaking Its Presidential Poll

A 13-point lead for Hillary Clinton on July 14 has vanished in two weeks with Donald Trump now leading in the polls by 1 point. This is clearly unacceptable to the establishment and so Reuters/Ipsos is taking matters into its own hands... and 'tweaking' its polling methodology.

Canadian 'Oil Ghost Town' For Sale To Highest Bidder

In a shocking example of the fallout from low oil prices coupled with years of easy-money-enabled malinvestment, the collapse of Canada's non-conventional oil production has forced a northern Alberta oil-boom-town to be put up for auction... including 1200 person accomodation work-camp, hospital, gym, running track, and waste-water treatment plant.

New Concerns of Rigged Markets and Rigged Elections

by Mike Gleason, Money Metals:
Michael Rivero of What Really Happened gives us his uncensored opinions on the recently concluded political conventions, why he sees this as a crucial election for the future of our Republic, and why he views precious metals as a must-own asset for the tumultuous times ahead. Don’t miss another fantastic interview with Michael Rivero coming up after this week’s update.
Well, much to the dismay of Republicans and a great many Democrats, the Democratic National Committee formally put up Hillary Clinton to be the next President of the United States. Hillary’s coronation was met with boos, heckling, and walk outs by scores of rank and file Democrats. They believe, and with good reason, that their own party rigged the system on behalf of a crooked candidate.
