by Seth Ferris, New Eastern Outlook:
When countries are in trouble they always react the same way. If they
have economic troubles their governments take ever greater control of
the public finances, whether through austerity or centrally-dictated
spending programmes. When there is civil strife the government calls out
the army and restricts liberties to regain control of the situation.
When wars are taking place elections are cancelled so the government of
the day remains in power to deal with the conflict.
These measures have the effect of entrenching the “Establishment”, whoever that may be at a given time, and excluding others. People can only play a part in addressing the problems of the country at the whim of the Establishment, with appointments replacing elections in many such scenarios. Only when the Establishment is secure does it allow greater freedom of debate, action and participation, which are regarded as the hallmarks of stable countries.

by Porter Stansberry, Casey Research:
Today, around the world, something around $15 trillion in fixed income
is trading at a price that guarantees investors will lose money if they
buy the bond and hold it until maturity.
I want to make sure you understand what’s happening because the bond market and bonds are a mystery to a lot of individual investors.
A bond can trade at a negative yield to maturity (guaranteeing a future loss) while still paying a current coupon. How can that happen? It happens when investors bid the current price of a bond so far above par that the remaining coupons to be paid won’t cover the loss when the bond matures.

Photos taken at an anti-Trump protest in Washington, D.C., Saturday
night show a man holding high above the crowd a sign that read in large
black letters on a white background, “RAPE MELANIA”. Melania is the wife
of President-Elect Donald Trump. The protest was held in front of the
new Trump hotel that opened on Pennsylvania Avenue at the site of the
Old Post Office Building.
According to the man who photographed the sign, who goes by the handle “Beck [email protected]_beck”, the ‘RAPE MELANIA” sign was held aloft without any reaction by the estimated one-hundred-fifty Hillary Clinton supporters protesting the election of Trump. It was not until a lone Trump supporter waded into the protest and confronted the man that he took down the sign and fled.

Aspartame – sold under the brand names NutraSweet, Sugar Twin and Equal
– is one of the most popular artificial sweeteners available on the
market. It is used as a low-calorie sugar substitute in more than 6,000
processed products worldwide, especially in diet or sugar-free foods and
beverages.
While it remains the most used artificial sweetener, it has also faced controversy in recent years. As more and more research links aspartame to severe health effects, increasing numbers of people are becoming aware of this hidden poison and are trying to avoid it at all costs. That’s why Pepsi proactively removed it from their diet soda last year.

In my years on this planet, I have never seen so many threats from so
many sources, related to the assassination of Donald Trump. Yet, the
Secret Service and the FBI never do anything about it.
Facebook allowed an “Assassinate Donald Trump” page and defended the practice because their interpretation of freedom of speech. Yet, when I posted questions about Hillary’s health and fitness to serve, I was banned.
The threats against Trump’s life are now being fueled by George Soros’ thugs who are engaged in rioting because Clinton supporters will not accept the election results.
Let’s take a moment and look at how the establishment is desensitizing the public to the inevitable assassination of Donald Trump.

The main metaphor I use in my newest book The Road to Ruin: The Global
Elites’ Secret Plan for the Next Financial Crisis (claim your free copy
here) is something called “Ice-9.”
Ice-9 may be familiar to some listeners and readers, maybe not to others, but this is something I borrowed from the novelist Kurt Vonnegut.
He wrote a short novel in the early 1960s called Cat’s Cradle. Some readers may be familiar with it. If not, I recommend a copy. It’s short and hilarious.
My book, on the other hand, is not funny at all. I discuss the end of the financial system and the very real possibility of people losing all their savings. Hopefully, it’s engaging, entertaining and readable, but I can’t honestly say it’s funny. But Kurt Vonnegut’s is, even though he talks about a doomsday machine.

Hillary consistently blames others for her deplorable public record as
first lady, US senator and secretary of state – serious wrongdoing
enough to land ordinary people in prison longterm for committing any one
of her numerous high crimes.
In a Saturday conference call to donors contributing $100,000 or more to her campaign, she was at it again, blaming FBI director James Comey for reopening his investigation into her email scandal in late October after 650,000 new ones were discovered.
According to her assessment, whitewashing her wrongdoing a second time days later, after earlier in July, wasn’t enough to undo damaging her politically.

In the middle of a blossoming banking crisis.
Widespread public disaffection and dissatisfaction are not unique to the UK and US; they’re on the rise all over the developed world. It’s not hard to see why. In the words of Mark Blyth, one of an embarrassingly small number of economists to correctly call both Brexit and the victory of Trump, the last 30 years have seen “a huge amount of economic growth but hardly anyone’s benefited from it.” And now the people are “fed up” and have decided at any opportunity to “give their elites notice that they’ve had enough.”
On December 4th, Italy could become the next whistle stop on the global populist doom tour as its people vote in a national referendum on the government’s proposed constitutional reforms, which seek to drastically curb the role of the upper house Senate, a move that Italian premier Matteo Renzi says will simplify decision-making and ensure stable government. Opponents fear it will make the legislative process more complicated and reduce checks and balances.
