Gold ETF Holdings Continue to Plunge, While Demand for Physical Surges – Nathan McDonald

by Nathan McDonald, Sprott Money:
Once again, we return with a tale of two markets, which, if you’ve been following my writing for any length of time, you will know that I am referring to the physical gold markets and the paper gold markets.
One of these markets is vile, corrupt and an outright scam that keeps the other down and deludes people into a false sense of security. This, of course, is the paper market. The other, the physical market, is real, honest and reacts correctly in periods of turmoil and uncertainty.
Once again, these markets have diverged from each other as gold ETF holdings suffer a massive drop, plunging for 28 days straight.

A New Tape Has Emerged Which Could Completely Derail Trump’s Presidency

by Michael Snyder, End Of The American Dream:
Just when you thought it was all over, a new Trump scandal has emerged that could potentially be the biggest one of all. During an interview with KIRO Radio on Friday, comedian Tom Arnold claimed to be in possession of Apprentice outtakes that show Donald Trump using the N-word. There is reportedly other vulgar and offensive language in the outtakes, but Trump could survive being vulgar and offensive. What matters is if he used the N-word in an offensive manner, because that could be significant enough to derail his presidency.
At this point, Tom Arnold has not released the material that he claims to be holding. If he never does, and nobody else come forward with these outtakes, then this scandal will never amount to anything.

The Liberation of Aleppo: A Regional Turning Point. Setback for US-Led Aggression

by Prof. Tim Anderson, Global Research:

In late 2016, at the cost of many young lives, Syrian forces took back the eastern part of the city of Aleppo, occupied by NATO and Saudi backed terrorists for more than four years.

The liberation of Aleppo, Syria’s second city and an ancient marvel, represents the most serious setback for the 15-year long Washington-led aggression on the entire region. An effective recolonisation of the region has stretched from Afghanistan to Libya, under a range of false pretexts. Invasions and proxy wars have been backed by economic sanctions and wild propaganda.

Mandatory obedience: Hospitals are threatening the jobs of healthcare workers who refuse the flu vaccine

by Robert Jonathan , naturalnews:
Yet another assault on health freedom is reportedly occurring in the state of Georgia in the form of mandatory vaccinations for healthcare professionals.
In a YouTube video, Georgia hospital worker Lauren Atkinson claims that the federal government is forcing healthcare employers in the Peach State to vaccinate all or most of their employees with the influenza, or flu, vaccine. Non-compliant employees apparently face termination if they don’t submit to the flu injection by a certain date, but most workers are going along with it, according to Atkinson, who intends to refuse the flu shot.
Natural News has previously maintained that there really is no good reason to get a flu shot. No legitimate evidence exists proving that they even work at all. But they do contain a variety of toxic additives that can cause severe side effects. In addition to conventional treatment, however, a variety of natural remedies are also worth considering to help ward off the flu bug, although that is a personal decision.
