Where Are The Handcuffs? This Video Blows The Doors Open On Hillary’s Corruption, Obfuscations and Outright Lies

by Mac Slavo, SHTFPlan:
In a recent article Jeremiah Johnson noted that FBI Director James Comey actually did a really great job in his handling of the Clinton private server email scandal. By “great” we mean that Comey did exactly what he was appointed to do, which is to protect the oligarchs at any cost, no matter the detriment to American law and order.

We see that they vote where their money or their personal enrichment of power is.  Some people said that Comey “didn’t do his job.” Yes, he did: his job in the hire of the Clintons, and that “job” was on, not for the American people.

As you’ll see in the video below, absolutely no one other than Hillary Clinton would have been allowed to go free without charges had they engaged in the same activity, which includes everything from sharing and receiving classified information, to obstructing investigators.

In a Year, Trump Will be Dead and the US Will Be in a Civil War, if the Global Elite Get Their Way

by Dave Hodges, The Common Sense Show:
It is my contention that the globalists will stop short of nothing to maintain control over the people. They will murder anyone and everyone who gets in their way. Today, humanity is waking up like never before. However, the struggle is just beginning. Some fear that we have awakened just in time to see the executioner put a noose around our neck.
How Long Will the Struggle Last?
One of the questions that people ask me is, “How long will this struggle against the New World Order last”? Answer: It will last until the Second Coming of Jesus. It is my contention that we will never know worldly peace, but we can achieve piece of mind if we act now against the evil that is running this planet.
This article points out just how truly evil and Satanic the New World Order (NWO) is. The degree of their devotion to Lucifer should constitute a warning sign as to the degree that the NWO will go to in order to maintaintheir demonic power over the people. They will stop at nothing to continue their subjugation of humanity.

Savers Fear Negative Interest Rates as Natwest Warns Businesses Might Have to Pay to Hold Cash

by Katie Morley, The Telegraph:
Natwest has become the first bank to warn business customers it may charge them negative interest rates on money held in current accounts.
In what is believed to be a UK first, the bank has signalled its intention to force account holders to either pay to hold money or move funds elsewhere.
Although current plans for negative rates are restricted to business customers, fears are mounting that “pay to save” rates could soon become a reality for millions of consumers, if other banks follow suit.
The outgoing pensions minister, Ros Altmann, warned negative interest rates on current and savings accounts pose a threat to the financial security of older savers, who often rely on their savings to provide a retirement income.

Central Banks In Lose-Lose Situation — Ronald Stoeferle

by Claudio Grass, Gold and Liberty:
Claudio Grass, Global Gold: Ronald, it is a pleasure to have the opportunity to speak with you. We’ve known each other for a very long time, both on a personal and professional level. Because of our central banks, we find our economies today operating on artificial stimulus and negative interest rates. How would you summarize the consequences of this policy?
Mr. Stöferle: I have always considered it impossible to create a “self-sustaining” economic expansion by means of the printing press. By so doing, central bankers only succeeded in suppressing symptoms, but the underlying structural problems that created the 2008 financial crisis in the first place, have only gotten worse.

Verizon-Yahoo Deal Shows Once Again the Need to Remove Intellectual Property Rights

from The Daily Bell:
Verizon is buying Yahoo for $4.8 billion … It’s official: The sale completes Yahoo’s evolution from influential search pioneer and web portal juggernaut to, in the end, a once-dominant brand that lost its way. Parties as diverse as Warren Buffett and The Daily Mail were interested in buying Yahoo. But after a sale process that dragged on for months, Verizon (VZ, Tech30), long viewed as the frontrunner, is walking away with Yahoo’s more than one billion monthly active users. –CNN Money
Another huge merger has taken place. Perhaps a billion consumer emails plus related technology will change hands, further stratifying the Internet and providing less opportunity for others.
If people believe the pace of technological innovation has slowed in the past years, they are probably correct. As ZeroHedge pointed out in May, “Venture capital investments in Silicon Valley fell almost 20 percent in the first quarter [of 2016] from a year earlier to $4.9 billion.”

New Legislation Proposes to “Bail In” Social Security

from Sovereign Man:
It was only a few weeks ago that I told you about the government’s annual report on Social Security.
It was a veritable death sentence for the program.
The Board of Trustees for Social Security (which includes the US Treasury Secretary) wrote that major parts of the program have already run out of money, and the rest of Social Security will run out of money in the next decade.
Amazing. Even Social Security knows that they’re bankrupt and unable to keep their promises to taxpayers.
