The Scariest Forecast For Treasury Bulls

Assuming Deutsche Bank is correct, the result would be the scariest forecast bond bulls have seen in years: a 10-Year TSY whose yield fades all gains attained during the past decade, in the span of just two short years, hitting 4.5% in early 2019. The adverse implications from such a fast, steep move on all asset classes, not just bonds, would be devastating.

Using Holidays As A Distraction, Obama Just Signed NDAA ‘Propaganda’ Provision To Destroy Free Press

by Claire Bernish, via True Activist:
Using the cover of the holidays and distracted attention, President Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act into law Friday evening — just two days before many Americans celebrate Christmas — perhaps because it contains ominously Orwellian language meant to “counter propaganda and disinformation directed at the United States.”
Although the NDAA’s true purpose is to fund the military, notorious provisions — particularly of the variety which erase yet more freedoms — are often added to the overall legislation. In this case, the propaganda and disinformation provisions mentioned above had been attempted in a stand-alone bill which remains stalled in Congress — partly due to scathing criticism and unpopularity from wary politicians.

Hitler Rises And Her Name Is Angela – ‘They Are Merkel’s Dead’ To Be Censored By The New Nazi Propaganda Ministry, Dubbed ‘Center Of Defense Against Fake News’

by Susan Duclos, All News Pipeline:
German Chancellor Angela Merkel is suffering severe backlash after the most recent terror attack in Berlin which killed 12 people. Protesters have coined the term “They are Merkel’s dead” in reference to her open border policies of allowing millions of immigrants to flood into Germany….immigrants that continue to carry out successful terror attacks.
Now that Merkel has announced she will run for re-election, she has taken a number of steps in an attempt to win the election, which include promises to “examine with urgency to what degree state practices must be changed,” after finding out the terrorist, Anis Amri, a Tunisian, lived in Germany for more than a year, despite having been previously jailed in Italy and denied asylum in both nations. Even as Europe’s most-wanted man, he traveled hundreds of miles this week, crossing at least two European Union borders on his way to Italy, where police stopped him to check his identity. (Source)

Clinton Campaign Donors Demand Investigation Into Missing $1.5 Billion

by Baxter Dmitry, Your News Wire:
Hillary Clinton’s election campaign fallout continues lurching from bad to worse, with big campaign donors reportedly demanding a “campaign autopsy” to explain what happened to $1.5 billion in late campaign donations.
At her New York bash to thank big donors of $1 million or more, Clinton reportedly refused to take any blame for her failed campaign, instead pointing the finger at James Comey and Vladimir Putin. However her spin did not work, and she has lost a lot of credibility in the eyes of her donors, VIP boosters, and campaign advisers.

The Real Question This Christmas

by Karl Denninger, Market Ticker:
Everyone says Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Nice wish, eh? Some make sure to emphasize the religious aspect of the holiday. A few acknowledge that early Christians stole the existing festival of the Sun (before we understood celestial mechanics people prayed that the Sun would come back — they certainly understood that without it they’d die, but not that irrespective of their burnt offering the days would get warmer — and longer — anyway!) And, of course, the mercantile world has turned it onto a debt-fed orgy of buying crap we don’t need for people who don’t appreciate it.
But let me put the question a different way for the coming year.
What are you willing to put up with?

FORENSIC EVIDENCE: Why Silver Price Manipulation Will End

by Steve St. Angelo, SRSRocco Report:
The one thing silver investors want to know, is when will the manipulation of the silver price finally end. And who can blame then. It becomes extremely frustrating to watch the silver price fade lower and lower, especially as the Dow Jones Index gets ready to surpass the 20,000 level.
Furthermore, precious metals sentiment continues to head down the toilet and into the cesspool, while the financial networks like CNBC get ready to pass out “Go 25,000 Dow Jones”baseball caps. However, the broader markets are in serious trouble, pointed out by Wolf Richter’s article, What The Heck’s Happening To Our Shale Buyback Boom.
