Dallas Mayor Pulls Support For "Massive Taxpayer Bailout" Of Police Pension
by Nomi Prins, DailyReckoning:
The biggest banks are still as dangerous as they were before the last crisis, even as they push for less regulation.
The big six banks U.S. banks are JP Morgan Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, and Morgan Stanley. Despite their belly-aching about heinous Dodd-Frank Act regulations cramping their betting style, they have all done damn good recently.
Since Trump was elected and started talking about deregulation, the big six bank stock values have collectively skyrocketed 33.5 percent (as of March 10th). Bank of America tops that rise with an eye-popping increase of 48.8 percent in three months. Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley shares shot up 36.6 percent.

A total of $78,333 will be donated to the National Park Service, every
penny that’s been earned since he was inaugurated on January 20, 2017.
Before business tycoon Donald Trump was elected as President of the United States, he promised to donate every cent of his $400,000 annual salary. At a town-hall meeting in 2015, he declared “That’s no big deal for me.” That’s because Trump made a fortune in real estate before running for political office.

Last week, we discussed the growing stress in the credit markets. We
noted this is a reason to buy gold, and likely the reason why gold
buying has ticked up since just before Christmas.
Many people live in countries where another paper scrip is declared to be money—to picture the absurdity, just imagine a king declaring that the tide must roll back and not get his feet wet when his throne is placed on the beach—not real money like the US dollar. It should be obvious, but we have seen much disinformation out there promoting the idea that the dollar is collapsing. Most of the time, most of these people buy dollars as the escape hatch from their native currencies.

Mike Whitney has written an excellent expose of the “Russiagate” cover
story for Obama’s political use of national security to help his party
oppose Republicans. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/46775.htm
Covert surveillance of politicians on Obama’s Nixon-like “Enemies List” has been going on for many years, but is only now being unmasked as a result of the failure of Obama’s cover story–“We weren’t spying on political opponents; only on Russians to protect America.”
The presstitute media has passed on the cover story authored by former Obama-administration officials led by CIA director John Brennan, FBI director James Comey, the DNC, and Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff. The loose ends in this cover-up have now been so widely exposed as hearsay and political that only 13% of Republicans believe the fact-free story – but 67% of Democrats cling to it.

While
no additional silver was put on deposit at the Comex during the [past]
week, The Banks sold contracts for 120MM oz. This is fraud. [email protected] MetalsReport
If you were to poll the public about comparing the investment returns between gold, silver and stocks during the first quarter of 2017, it’s highly probable that the majority of the populace would respond that the S&P 500 outperformed the precious metals. That’s a result of the mainstream media’s unwillingness to report on the precious metals market other than to disparage it as an investment.

Granular data shoes why numbers on the surface don’t add up.
Condo sales in Miami-Dade County have plunged. Condos on the market have surged. Supply has hit 14 months. Developers are sitting on completed units they can’t sell, and months’ supply in their projects has reached several years.
With this kind of supply-and-demand imbalance – sales down 25% from February 2014, inventory up 90% since early 2013 – you’d expect prices to head south. But the median price of condos in February, according to the Miami Association of Realtors, increased 6.3% year-over-year. This is the mystery we’ll shed some light on (chart by StatFunding):

Two weeks ago, Reuters reported
that due to “unexplained” reasons, the Venezuela central bank had
stopped publishing its M2, or money supply, data. The M2 money supply
was up by nearly 180% in mid-February from a year earlier, according to
the central bank before it halted the release of the weekly data without
explanation in February.
“If they are not publishing, you know it must be skyrocketing,” Aurelio Concheso, director of the Caracas-based business consultancy Aspen Consulting, stated the obvious. The central bank and ministry of communications did not respond to a request for comment, Reuters adds.

The number of refugees admitted to the United States dropped in March
to its lowest monthly tally of the current fiscal year, even as the
implementation of President Trump’s latest immigration executive order
continues to be held up by federal courts.
In a continuing declining trend, 2,070 refugees arrived during March, an approximately 54.79 percent drop from the 4,579 recorded in February, according to State Department Refugee Processing Center data.
The number has steadily declined in FY 2017, from 9,945 refugees admitted to the U.S. last October, to 8,355 in November, 7,371 in December and 6,777 in January.

The DC pedophile ring has been around far longer than most people can
imagine, and while today it has somehow been given the status of ‘fake

time when even the mainstream media was reporting on it.
Some say that everything you need to know you learned in kindergarten. I
suppose that’s true to some extent. However, to fully understand the
forces at play in Comex Digital Metal, it might be good to review some
of the basic economics that are often taught in introductory Econ
classes at your local college or university.
For the state to make war, it must convince the populace that killing
other people is just and necessary. Many different rationalizations have
cropped up over the millennia – from controlling resources to
exterminating races to “fighting terrorism” – but murdering strangers
requires a particular obedience to authority.

The U.S. Central Command recently announced that troop numbers in Iraq
and Syria will no longer be reported to the public. In its announcement,
CENTCOM spokesman Army Col. John Thomas declared that “capabilities,
not numbers,” should be the area of focus, and the public will be given
general estimates of troop sizes in the future.
Have you ever thought about what comes after the bubble? In 2008 we
got a short preview of what life will be like, but most Americans seem
to have come to the conclusion that the last financial crisis was just a
minor bump in the road toward endless economic prosperity. But of
course the truth is that the ridiculously high debt-fueled standard of
living that we are enjoying now is not sustainable, and after this
bubble bursts it will be an extremely painful adjustment for our
society.![[Most Recent Quotes from www.kitco.com]](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_tttk2cIdZlNS2DE_PzotuIfzSTexSXKNW94-CLNSGSaJj88MMxsjDzYAsDDxqKIFPQIgVOkbjZGWLDzzqb6y9sngQgqC1rIh7iC219_MM-wfC9T9ykxZyODCZy4fgb_Nucvw=s0-d)
