German Press: "That Was No Presidential Speech; That Was A Declaration Of War"

"That was no presidential speech; that was a veritable declaration of war. Threatening in tone. Cold and calculating in logic. Change minus the hope.... In domestic policy, the Trump agenda sounds like a blueprint for civil war; in foreign policy, it sounds like the dawn of a new ice age."

Friday Humor: Hillary Catches Bill Staring At Ivanka

The Epidemic Of Bad Ideas

Our education begins within a few minutes of arriving on planet Earth. That’s when we begin to learn that crying and carrying on is rewarded with coddling and nourishment. That particular lesson stays with us throughout our lives, more so with some people than others. But once our parents hand the keys to our brains to professional teachers, any number of factors come to play in our education... and even terrible ideas can spread virulently.

How To Predict The Behavior Of Globalists

by Brandon Smith, Alt Market:
In my last article, ‘How Globalists Predict Your Behavior‘, I outlined the primary method globalists use to measure public consent, or, public dissent. The use of macro-analytics and the hyper-monitoring of web traffic is a powerful tool at the disposal of the establishment for gauging shifts in public consciousness in real time.
For example, in early 2016 the elites were entirely aware of the rise of conservative and sovereignty movements in the U.S. and Europe. In fact, the dangers of growing “populism” were all that elitists and their publications talked about for the first six months of the year. At first, this notion seemed a little odd to me. Generally, when globalists are attempting to manage public opinion, they are careful not to reveal the slightest hint that conservative movements exist beyond an “extremist fringe”. They certainly never suggest that there is a massive undercurrent of nationalism ready to topple the globalist structure.

Fake News About "Love" For Obamacare?

The latest from CNN is that "love for Obamacare" is at an all-time high. It reeks of Fake News. Do you like Obamacare? Know anyone who does? Everyone we know loathes it – for both practical as well as moral reasons. Yet CNN – and other – “mainstream” organs – are singing in harmony that the same public which favored Hillary by huge margins is also in love with the Not Affordable Care Act.

Trump’s Declaration of War

by Paul Craig Roberts, Paul Craig Roberts:
President Trump’s brief inaugural speech was a declaration of war against the entirety of the American Ruling Establishment. All of it.
Trump made it abundantly clear that Americans’ enemies are right here at home: globalists, neoliberal economists, neoconservatives and other unilateralists accustomed to imposing the US on the world and involving us in endless and expensive wars, politicians who serve the Ruling Establishment rather than the American people, indeed, the entire canopy of private interests that have run America into the ground while getting rich in the process.
If truth can be said, President Trump has declared a war far more dangerous to himself than if he had declared war against Russia or China.

Republicans, Democrats, and Voodoo Economics – Jeff Nielson

by Jeff Nielson, Sprott Money:
The Republican Trump regime has come out with its first economic policy paper. Democrat Larry Summers call this “voodoo economics” . This is very funny on multiple levels.
Many would argue that it was the Clinton regime (with Larry Summers in charge of economic policy) which began the transformation of the U.S. economy from what was still a relatively strong and prosperous entity into the hopelessly crippled, financial Ponzi-scheme which it has become today. It was during the Clinton years, with a Democrat at the helm of the U.S. economy that the Wall Street crime syndicate was fully unleashed upon the U.S. – and the world – through tearing up the Glass-Steagall Act (1933).

Sear’s Bankruptcy, Who Gets the Real Estate, and How the Pension Fund Got Hung Out to Dry (at Taxpayer Expense) Invade Mnuchin’s Senate Confirmation Hearing

by Wolf Richter, Wolf Street:
“You were a Director at Sears for 12 years where you had oversight over the administration and investment in the pension fund.”
That Sears Holdings will file for bankruptcy appeared to be taken for granted in the confirmation hearings before the US Senate on Thursday. And when it does file, it’s going to get very complicated for Steven Mnuchin, the Trump administration’s appointment for Treasury Secretary. But the most fascinating part, for us as a non-political finance and economics site, is the dissection of the whole Sears deal.

Trump to take on Big Pharma and get the healthcare industry back to treatment rather than profiteering

by J. D. Heyes, Natural News:
Without question President Donald J. Trump is shaking up “the establishment” in Washington, D.C.—including the media, academia, politics and the legalized bribery that takes place under the guise of “lobbying” and “campaign contributions.”
For example, Trump is the only president in modern history to show any interest at all in taking on Big Pharma in his bid to truly reform health care. He’s a billionaire, mind you, so he’s not worried about how he’s going to afford his next prescription or pay his monthly health premium (though we’ll be paying for it soon as taxpayers). But he seems to know instinctively that ordinary Americans are having difficulty paying for coverage and prescription medications.
But it’s not just ordinary folks pleased with Trump’s intention to take on the pharmaceutical industry; some health care providers are, too. And they say such reforms are long overdue. [RELATED: Stay current with the travails and pitfalls of modern health care at Medicine.news]
