Trump’s Appointments — Paul Craig Roberts

by Paul Craig Roberts, Paul Craig Roberts:
What do they mean?
Before I give an explanation, let’s be sure we all know what an explanation is. An explanation is not a justification. The collapse of education in the US is so severe that many Americans, especially younger ones, cannot tell the difference between an explanation and a defense, justification, or apology for what they regard as a guilty person or party. If an explanation is not damning or sufficiently damning of what they want damned, the explanation is interpreted as an excuse for the object of their scorn. In America, reason and objective analysis have taken a backseat to emotion.
We do not know what the appointments mean except, as Trump discovered once he confronted the task of forming a government, that there is no one but insiders to appoint. For the most part that is correct. Outsiders are a poor match for insiders who tend to eat them alive. Ronald Reagan’s California crew were a poor match for George H.W. Bush’s insiders. The Reagan part of the government had a hell of a time delivering results that Reagan wanted.

Kellogg’s found to have financial ties to the money man for cop-killing left-wing HATE groups: George Soros

by Mike Adams, Natural News:
Kellogg’s found to have financial ties to the money man for cop-killing left-wing HATE groups: George Soros – NaturalNews.com
When you buy Kellogg’s products, you may be funneling money into the kind of hate-based operations associated with people who advocate killing cops in America. A Breitbart.com investigation found that “W.K. Kellogg Foundation has partnered with and given major donations to George Soros’s Open Society Institute and the Tides Center as part of its massive push to promote a far-left agenda.”
George Soros, often described as an “international terrorism money man,” is a key funding source for numerous radical, left-wing, anti-American groups such as Black Lives Matter which openly advocates executing police officers. (See video below for proof.)

Italian Banks on the Brink

by Jim Rickards, DailyReckoning:
There’s an old saying: “What’s sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.” The meaning is obvious — if you insist on something for others, you have to be prepared to hold yourself to the same standard.
A version of that is playing out in Europe today. And right now the strongest signal is not coming from Germany — it’s coming from Italy. Italian banks are in deep financial distress (as were banks in Cyprus and Greece from 2011 to 2015). This involves the Banca Monte dei Paschi di Sienna (BMP), the world’s oldest bank still in operation, founded in 1472.

Government Bond & Mortgage “Meltdown” Crushes NIRP

by Wolf Richter, Wolf Street:
And the spike in mortgage rates will come in handy.
The situation in government bonds – variously labeled with “bloodbath,” “rout,” “carnage” “meltdown,” or similar propitious terms – continued on Thursday.
Already in November – so not counting the “carnage” today – the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Total Return Index lost 4% or $1.7 trillion, according to Bloomberg, “the deepest slump since the gauge’s inception in 1990.”
While global stocks rallied in November, the gains – $635 billion – were outright puny compared to the $1.7 trillion wiped out in the much larger bond markets.

The Shocking Truth About How Barack Obama Was Able To Prop Up The U.S. Economy

by Michael Snyder, The Economic Collapse Blog:
Barack Obama is one of the biggest “Keynesians” of all time, but unfortunately most Americans don’t even understand what that means. In this article, I am going to share with you the primary reason why Barack Obama has been able to prop up the U.S. economy over the past eight years. If Barack Obama had not taken the extreme measures that he did, we would be in the midst of a historic economic depression right now. But by propping things up in the short-term, he has absolutely demolished our long-term economic future. But like most politicians, Obama has been willing to sacrifice the future for short-term political gain.

Trump's Lead in PA Shrinks By 22,000 Votes As Stein Seeks Statewide Recount

According to Philly Voice, an updated count Friday by state election officials shows Trump’s lead over Democrat Hillary Clinton has shrunk from 71,000 to 49,000. If this new number is accurate, Trump’s lead is at 0.8 percent, down from more than 1 percent. That is still shy of Pennsylvania’s 0.5 percent trigger for an automatic statewide recount.

A MASSIVE 13.64 TONNES OF GOLD LEAVES THE GLD: PROBABLE DESTINATION SHANGHAI TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THEIR HUGE PREMIUMS

A TINY 155,000 OZ OF SILVER LEAVES TO PAY FOR FEES/ HUGE WITHDRAWAL = GOLD DEMAND AMOUNTING TO 28.65 TONNES OF PHYSICAL GOLD FROM THE SGANGHAI GOLD EXCHANGE YESTERDAY (ONE DAY’S DEMAND)/GOLD AND SILVER REBOUND

THE ALL IMPORTANT ITALIAN REFERENDUM IS ON SUNDAY/DEUTSCHE BANK CUTTONG OF 3400 CLIENTS???/WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?/TURKISH LIRA DROPS TO 3.6 TO ONE USA DOLLAR: ERDOGAN TELLS HIS PEOPLE TO BUY GOLD/ IN THE USA: AWFUL JOBS REPORT: MANY STORIES TONIGHT. It seems that Shanghai pricing is higher than the other two , (NY and London). The spread has been occurring on a regular basis and thus I expect to see arbitrage happening as investors buy the lower priced NY gold and sell to China at the higher price. This should drain the comex.
Also why would mining companies hand in their gold to the comex and receive constantly lower prices. They would be open to lawsuits if they knowingly continue to supply the comex despite the fact that they could be receiving higher prices in Shanghai.

Trump vs. the Globalists: The Views of Southfront, The Saker and John Helmer

from Rogue Money:
For empires to rule, their agents must hang on to their monopoly of force, fraud and subversion, inside the home country as well as in its far flung dominions. Subversion means persuading people to believe what is true and good, when that’s false and bad for them. Propaganda, in short.
It was a close run thing in Russia during the time of Boris Yeltsin and the Clinton family. But nowadays on the Ukraine front and the Syria front, Russian force is prevailing. On all the other US war fronts Washington’s agents are losing; that includes small islands like Cyprus and big ones like the Philippines.

Buyers Remorse – Trump Supporter Was Foreclosed on by Treasury Pick Steve Mnuchin

by Michael Krieger, Liberty Blitzkrieg:
Two days after Donald Trump’s election victory, I expressed the following sentiment in a post titled, Draining the Swamp? Wall Street is Already Loving Donald Trump:

To conclude, this article is primarily written for all my readers who are either Trump supporters, or who reluctantly voted for him. My message to you is that we need to hold this man’s feet to the fire. The election is over, and you got your desired outcome. Now is not the time to be a cheerleader. Now is not the time to behave exactly like Obama zombies did after he became an obvious betrayal. What allowed Obama to do all the bad things he did, was the fact that his supporters made endless excuses for him. Don’t make excuses for Trump. If you do, your life will get a lot worse and this country will decay far more into an authoritarian oligarchy than it already has. It is up to you to make sure he doesn’t become the Wall Street puppet I always feared he would be.

This message has become increasingly important with each passing day, and with every new cabinet disappointment. Mnuchin is not the only one.
