HILLARY PROMISES BANKERS SHE’LL STAND AGAINST POT LEGALIZATION “IN ALL SENSES OF THE WORD” IN LEAKED SPEECH

by Justin Gardner, via The Daily Sheeple:
Wikileaks has arguably been the most important thing that has happened to elections, if not the veneer of democracy, in quite a long time. We’ve been able to see the true side of politicians and bureaucrats like never before.
In Hillary Clinton, we see a figure beholden to Wall St., working diligently to advance the influence of financial corporations over government policy and taxpayer money. Her mega-donor list is a who’s who of megabanks that also happened to benefit from the TARP government bailout.
In return for their money, Clinton gave speeches to Wall St. giants behind closed doors between 2013 and 2015. She told Goldman Sachs she was “far removed” from ordinary people and that “you need both a public and a private position.”

When All Else Fails, They Take You To War

by Andrew Hoffman, Miles Franklin:
Generally speaking, the tenor of my commentaries reflects the severity of my beliefs. And recently, fears, which is why the past few weeks have spawned some of the deepest, and most serious, articles of my career. To wit, in the past two days alone, I published “the most important article I’ve ever written,” regarding my staunch belief that all hope for America will be lost if Hillary Clinton is elected; and “frankly, I’m terrified,” on how rapidly civility is collapsing in this historic political campaign, which is rapidly turning into the most polarizing political event since the Vietnam War – and perhaps, given the ugly direction things are turning, the Civil War. Not to mention, last week’s “mark this date, global war has begun” – of how, politically, economically, and monetarily, the “every man for himself” syndrome has taken hold; to the point that, frankly, it’s difficult to envision a scenario where major military confrontations do not result.

Noam Chomsky Explains How He Was Banned From Mainstream Media

"...a society that operates in a way where propaganda is not only emanating from the major media but it gets into our schools, the kind of courses are taught, the content of the history, is a society that’s not going to be mobilized for its own survival, much less the survival of other countries whose dictators we have for decades supported to oppress their people..."

The market continues to “buy into” growing long-term narrative that CBs are shifting from notional “flow” of QE purchases to yield targeting / curve steepening goals and desire for more fiscal policy.  To anybody being intellectually honest, this should be interpreted in the long-term as “a path to tightening.”  Long-end weakens, curves steepen.

Glenn Greenwald: In The Democratic Echo Chamber, Inconvenient Truths Become Putin Plots

The problem is that none of this is going to vanish after the election. This election-year machine that has been constructed based on elite unity in support of Clinton — casually dismissing inconvenient facts as fraudulent to make them disappear, branding critics and adversaries as tools or agents of an Enemy Power bent on destroying America — is a powerful one.

"Recession Fatigue"-Fatigue Strongly Suggests It Was Never Just A 'Recession'

It never ends because the “recession” never ended. Consumers quite literally never recovered, and the belief, once pervasive in the mainstream, that they did was predicated on but one narrow construct – the unemployment rate.
