The "Mystery" Of Who Is Pushing Stocks To All Time Highs Has Been Solved



"Many have been asking for an update of our usual central bank liquidity metrics. These show a surge in net global central bank asset purchases to their highest since 2013."

An Ordained African-American Minister Asks "What If Whites Strike Back?"

America has figuratively bent over backward to assuage its perceived guilt but for many blacks that is not good enough. They accuse and self-alienate but do nothing to incorporate the greatness of America into their lives. How much longer will America allow blacks to vilify those who have done them no harm – even as blacks attack, terrorize, and condemn those who truly do just want to get along?

"Bring It On!"

To paraphrase John F. Kennedy, if the aristocrats make peaceful and necessary change impossible, they will make violent resistance inevitable. It’s not a war they can win, but if it’s a war they are too foolish and arrogant to avoid, bring it on.

Where The 'Richest' Live

To be considered in a top 1% earner in the United States, the magic number that must be reached is $521,411 per household. However, it turns out that on a county level, the income of the Top 1% varies wildly based on location.

Peak Polarization - Why Investors Should Really Worry About The Next Election

It will come as no surprise to anyone that the relative polarization within America's body politik is at its highest ever (in both the The House and Senate) but while the decision-making process remains mired in quagmired partisanship, The Federal Reserve is there to ensure that politicians do not have to "go back to work." However, with the uncertainty surrounding the upcoming election near record highs there is one scenario that US equity investors should be very afraid of with regard the President/Senate/House combination...

Did Citi Just Confiscate $1 Billion In Venezuela Gold

Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro said on Monday that Citibank planned to shut his government's foreign currency accounts within a month, denouncing the move by one of its main foreign financial intermediaries as part of a "blockade." What Maduro did not mention is that among the central bank accounts closed by Citi will be at least one, rather prominent, gold swap launched just over a year earlier, which saw some 1.4 million ounces in gold swapped over to Citi in exchange for cash... gold which now appears to be confiscated.

Caught On Tape: State Department Refuses To Answer Any Questions On Arming Syrian Rebels

If for some bizarre reason you still have any faith left in the U.S. government, this should take care of it.

On Manhattan's "Billionaire's Row", A Death Knell Just Tolled For Luxury Real Estate

New York City’s ultraluxury real estate frenzy has finally come to an end. In and around West 57th Street, known as Billionaires’ Row, “it’s not just slow — it’s come to a complete halt,” said Dolly Lenz, "That’s a death knell."

Warning: Pokemon Go Can Spy On iPhone Users' Google Account

"To be clear, the app, as it stands, can read and write emails. It can also view your Google Docs, search history and Maps use. And your private photos. It’ll also take data that’s standard for modern apps, like IP and email addresses. Given the app by necessity has to use location data, Niantic suddenly has access to incredibly private information of millions of individuals across the world."

Why Some Republicans "Would Rather Attend The Hanging Of A Good Friend" Than Go To The Cleveland Convention

At a time when many Republicans are deeply dissatisfied with their nominee, pessimistic about their prospects for victory in the fall and alarmed about the direction of their party, there’s a reluctance about attending the convention more typically reserved for going to the DMV, being summoned for jury duty or undergoing a root canal. "I would rather attend the public hanging of a good friend", says Will Ritter, an up-and-coming Republican digital strategist who worked on the three previous conventions.

How "Amerexit" Sent Shockwaves Through Financial Markets

Britain's decision to leave the European Union may have sent shockwaves across the financial community; but it was not the first 'difficult divorce' they have faced. The Kingdom of Great Britain saw a different kind of Brexit 240 years ago: the American revolution... and "Amerexit" brought its own wave of chaos, that lasted for a decade.

Obama To Police: "I Am Your Best Hope"

According to The Fraternal Order of Police’s James O. Pasco, President Obama said "I'm your best hope" to which Pasco responded "I don't disagree."

"Greatest Short Squeeze Ever" Sends Stocks To Record Highs


California Councilwoman Suggests Dead Dallas Cops Got What They Deserved

Just a few short days after five Dallas officers were murdered in a horrific shooting, Reinette Senum - a Nevada City, California Councilwoman - posted her thoughts on the shooting to the politically-correct Facebook, proclaiming "this was completely incited by America’s police force." The controversial community leader has been asked to resign after suggesting that the Dallas Police Department got what they deserved.

Is There Such A Thing As Having Enough Food Storage?

by Ken Jorgustin, Modern Survival Blog:
When it comes to prepping and preparedness, the first steps that most people take are to acquire extra food (a variety thereof) to store or to deepen their pantry for a time of emergency (or worse).
A household that may have normally only kept enough food on hand to last about a week (probably the typical scenario for most Americans) may have decided to boost their food storage to several or three weeks of food to feed everyone there. This amount of food storage will certainly be plenty enough for nearly all ‘typical’ emergency scenarios that may tend to occur in our lives.
So, is that enough food storage?
Sure, if you believe that the probability of something worse than a 3-week disaster is so low – that’s it’s irrelevant…
However, consider this, even if the likelihood of a long-term food shortage scenario is very low, ‘what if’ it actually happened? Sometimes that ‘outlier’ event does happen. If it does, how will your household survive it?

Hungry Venezuelans Feed on Stray Dogs and Cats: “Pets May End Up in Cooking Pots”

by Mac Slavo, SHTF Plan:
How far would you go to eat?
The economic crisis in Venezuela, which has made food scarce, has become so sharp that many people are now being forced to turn on their pets in order survive.
The mounting cost of imported staple foods used to make dog and cat foods has proven to be prohibitive for many pet owners, who have trouble enough feeding themselves and their children and have been forced to release their pets to fend for themselves.
As a consequence, there has been a sharp increase in stray animals on roadsides and city areas, and along with them, people desperate enough to turn to these once-beloved companions as a source of food.

Why this Won’t Work out: Rampant Rent Inflation Collides with Stagnant Incomes

by Wolf Richter, Wolf Street:
Unlike stocks, a housing bubble can only go so far.
After a wait of 417 calendar days, or 286 trading days, the S&P 500 finally set a new record high on light volume. Bonds have soared, and yields have dropped to ludicrous lows. The 10-year Treasury yield hit an all-time low on Friday of 1.366%. Globally, nearly $13 trillion, or 29% of total bonds outstanding, are trading with a negative yield. So those asset bubbles remain intact.
Commercial real estate has been soaring since March 2009, and that bubble remains intact, though some markets are already causing fear and trembling due to office-space gluts that are now coinciding with withering demand, such as in Houston and in San Francisco. Home prices too have been soaring for years, though in some major cities, the tide has turned.

Corrupt Politicians and Corrupted Money Go Hand in Hand

from Money Metals:
Money is the barometer of a society’s virtue. When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion – when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing – when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors – when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don’t protect you against them, but protect them against you – when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice – you may know that your society is doomed.” – Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged, Francisco’s Money Speech
Corruption in Money and Politics
Ayn Rand wrote Atlas Shrugged about 60 years ago. It seems like she’s describing today’s politics.
The Justice Department announced last week they won’t be prosecuting “crooked” Hillary Clinton. Rand never met Hillary or her husband Bill. But she clearly knew what it means for society when scoundrels wind up in charge.

When Will They Learn?

by Jeff Thomas, International Man:
It will be no surprise to readers to hear that collectivism is growing in the Western World. It matters little whether we refer to it as socialism, communism, Marxism, Fabianism, totalitarianism or any of its other names—the collectivist ideal is on the rise.
British Conservatives worry over the extreme collectivist speeches of the new Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, who is far more to the left than former leader Ed Miliband was, yet they often fail to notice that Tory leaders are also becoming more collectivist in their rhetoric. Certainly current Prime Minister David Cameron is further to the left than, say, Margaret Thatcher was, yet we Britons often fail to notice that both of the primary parties are moving further to the left.

Clashes Between Syrian Army, Kurds Pushes Brzezinski Plan Forward In Syria

by Brandon Turbeville, Activist Post:
It was only a matter of time before the Syrian military and Kurdish organizations butted heads in Syria over who controls specific territory in the north. Over the past few months and as both the Kurds and the SAA push forward against the ISIS and related Western-backed forces operating near the Turkish border, these confrontations have become increasingly frequent, requiring the help of outside negotiators to defuse the situation and implement a ceasefire.
For instance, as far back as April 20, a heavy firefight was ignited when Kurdish police (Asayish) would not stop at a Syrian border checkpoint in Qamlishi. The fight lasted three days, taking the lives of 10 Kurdish fighters and 22 SAA soldiers as well as 17 civilians. Many innocent lives lost and much time and equipment wasted that could have been spent on ISIS.
On April 22, the Russians were able to secure a ceasefire which was respected by both sides, despite remaining tensions. In Qamlishi, all joint Syrian-Kurdish roadblocks and checkpoints were dismantled as a result. Still, a prisoner swap was organized and taken advantage of almost immediately by both sides.

Gun Homicides in U.S. Down 40% from 1993 to 2014; Lowest Rate in 34 Years

by Terence P. Jeffrey, CNS News:
The number of homicides committed with a firearm in the United States in 2014 was 10,945, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s report on its final data on deaths in this county for that year, which was released on June 30.
The 10,945 firearm homicides in 2014 represented a 40-percent drop from the peak hit in 1993, when there were 18,253 firearm homicides in the country, according to CDC data.
The 10,945 firearm homicides in the United States in 2014 equaled a rate of 3.43 per 100,000 people in the population. That was the lowest firearm homicide rate the United States experienced in any of the 34 years from 1981 through 2014, according to data posted by the CDC on its “Web-based Injury Statistics Query and Reporting System” (WISQARS).

Systemic Failure, in One Headline

by Andy Hoffman, Miles Franklin:
It’s Tuesday, on one of the rare “calm before the storm” days when headlines are thin – and manipulated markets thinner; when frankly, it makes more sense to slow things down than make them more complex. Yes, something dramatic, and market moving, could occur by the time I finish writing – but for now, I’m going to be a bit more “big picture,” and a bit less headline-specific; which is quite ironic, given that today’s principal topic refers to a single, ominous headline.

When the Election Is Stolen, Snipers Will Be on the Roof to Execute Peaceful Protesters

by Dave Hodges, The Common Sense Show:
At the risk of sounding like Karl Marx, the super elite have simply been murdering protesters, around the world as the planet is falling under a de facto state of martial law.
The super elite are clearly not serving the needs of the people, they are serving their selfish desires to help themselves to the resources of the people. And when the people object, they are being summarily executed in increasing numbers.
Just the sheer number of instances and the brutality in which freedom-loving people are being eliminated can speak to nothing else but this is a coordinated effort between and among the super elite on the planet to kill protesters by placing snipers on the roof. Here are examples of where it is has been happening around the world. And soon it will be coming to America in the midst of our present civil unrest as this will be discussed in the latter part of the article with the passage of little known riot control methods as per the military, yes the military, not local law enforcement.
