Despite the best efforts of law enforcement to convince a Congressional subcommittee that technology firms actually need to weaken encryption in order to serve the public interest, lawmakers were not having it.
Daniel Conley, the district attorney in Suffolk County, Massachusetts, testified Wednesday before the committee that companies like Apple and Google were helping criminals by hardening encryption on their smartphones. He echoed previous statements by the recently-departed Attorney General, Eric Holder.

Let’s talk briefly about China.
China is thought to be the great growth story of the post-2008 era. China’s economy not only bottomed before the developed world, but by most accounts, China was thought to be the engine that pulled the world out of recession, thanks to its near-clocklike hitting of 7%+ in GDP growth per year.
Today, China remains central to the notion that the world is in recovery. As Japan’s Abenomics gamble sputters out economically while Europe continues to deteriorate and seems at risk of even breaking apart, it is China and the US that are held up to be the last remaining sources of economic growth for global economy.

Six years into a recovery, stocks at record levels, high-end real estate in the stratosphere and debt levels soaring in virtually every public and private sector. Time to scale back and protect those gains, right? Wrong, apparently, for a depressingly obvious reason: Huge sections of the investing public can’t afford to move into cash or even into conservative paper like short-term Treasuries.
Pension funds that are required to generate 8% annual returns, insurance companies that only make money if incoming premiums earn at leas 6%, retirees who need to generate cash on their savings in order to eat, mutual funds that are judged on quarterly returns, hedge funds that have underperformed lately and will see a tidal wave of redemptions if they don’t outperform from here on out — all feel compelled to make even more money this year than last. They therefore have no choice but to roll the dice for big immediate gains. And guess what they’re choosing:

"Completely Absurd" To Think Greece Won't Default In May: Official
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/02/2015 - 11:45 Facing a pensioner rebellion and a looming payment due to the IMF, Greece’s back is now truly against the wall. As Handelsblatt reports, even if a deal were reached with creditors this weekend, it may now be logistically impossible for Greece to make a €780 million payment scheduled for May 12. Oh well, there's always war reparations...

Bill Fleckenstein: “I believe the market is emphatically crash-prone. I don’t see how this period ends without a (stock market) crash. All you can do is start to see when something has changed, connect the dots and try to act….
“Until psychology changes, this sort of nonsensical fantasy will continue to play out, even though the data is now starting to call that into question.
This is going to all end. The stock market fantasy, the bond market fantasy — all that will end. The colored paper fantasy and the fact that people believe in abject bad policymakers, i.e. the central banks being able to lead us to the Promised Land. There’s a reason why the economy stinks.

Eric King: “John, you have connections at the highest levels in Asia, what’s happening there?”
John Ing: “Well, it’s interesting, Eric, that you ask. Chinese demand in the first quarter was more than 327 tonnes of gold. I’ve been telling you that the Chinese have been buying more than 100 tonnes of gold each month and the numbers now confirm that.
We have also seen other central banks buying gold. Turkey, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Russia have all been buyers of gold. We also saw Venezuela use their gold in order to get liquidity for the foreign exchange market.”

Don’t hold your breath for mass protests…
by Paul Joseph Watson, Infowars:
A woman was shot dead by cops while handcuffed in the back of a police car in Atlanta, with authorities dubiously claiming that she somehow managed to fire on the officers with her hands behind her back.
However, both cops in question were black, so don’t expect there to be protests and riots raging through the city any time soon.
The woman, later named as 26-year-old mother of two Alexia Christian, was arrested at 5pm yesterday in downtown Atlanta and placed in the back of a cruiser.

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/02/2015 - 09:56 For those who require still more proof that the rally in US equities has become inextricably linked with corporations leveraging their balance sheets to repurchase their own shares, JP Morgan is out with an in-depth look at buyback trends which strongly suggests that buyback activity is in fact responsible for driving US stocks to record highs.Presenting The Most Overvalued Housing Market In The World In One Chart
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/02/2015 - 09:03 In every inflating bubble, there’s usually two camps. The first group points out various metrics suggesting something is inherently unsustainable, while the second reiterates that this time, it is different. After all, if everyone always agreed on these things, then no one would do the buying to perpetuate the bubble’s expansion. The Canadian housing bubble has been no exception to this, and the war of words is starting to heat up.We Just Broke 2008's Record For The Fastest Economic Unraveling!
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/01/2015 - 23:55 The final Q1 GDP revision was just released and we saw that GDP has again missed expectations by such a large margin that 2015 is another write off for a 3% growth year. Almost comically we heard the same excuses we got last year. “Weather was wintery and next year is going to be the turnaround year”. So in order to explain to these supposed economic and market ‘experts’ who seem wholly incapable of understanding economic and market forces with any sense of accuracy, let’s run through a few fundamentals.
from Wolf Street:
Angela Merkel, Germany’s most successful and popular politician, could be in serious trouble, after revelations that Germany’s national intelligence agency, the BND, has been spying on key European assets on behalf of US intelligence. Those “assets” include top French officials, the EU’s headquarters, the European defense corporation EADS, the helicopter manufacturer Eurocopter and even German companies.
To wit, from Der Spiegel:
In 2008, at the latest, it became apparent that NSA selectors were not only limited to terrorist and weapons smugglers… But it was only after the revelations made by whistleblower Edward Snowden that the BND decided to investigate the issue. In October 2013, an investigation came to the conclusion that at least 2,000 of these selectors were aimed at Western European or even German interests.

Given how intrusive derivatives are on bank balance sheets there has to be problem that they are trying to cover up. – John Embry, Shadow of Truth

from AP via Star Tribune:
Eighteen black women who were told decades ago that their babies had died soon after birth at a St. Louis hospital now wonder if the infants were taken away by hospital officials to be raised by other families.
The suspicions arose from the story of Zella Jackson Price, who was 26 in 1965 when she gave birth at Homer G. Phillips Hospital in St. Louis. Hours later, she was told that her daughter had died, but she never saw a body or a death certificate. No one is sure who was responsible, but Price’s daughter ended up in foster care, only to resurface almost 50 years later. Melanie Gilmore, who now lives in Eugene, Oregon, has said that her foster parents always told her she was given up by her birth mother.
Price’s attorney, Albert Watkins, is asking city and state officials to investigate. In a letter to Gov. Jay Nixon and St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay, Watkins said he suspects the hospital coordinated a scheme “to steal newborns of color for marketing in private adoption transactions.”

Children adore the Sesame Street character Elmo, whose childlike innocence and sunny attitude have made him a favorite of young and old alike. And it’s that widespread fondness for the fuzzy little red muppet that Surgeon General Vivek Murthy and the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) are betting on as they hijack the trusted childhood friend and turn him into a mouthpiece for the HHS and its pro-vaccination agenda.
Murthy recently blogged about his new video made in cooperation with the Sesame Workshop, a 30-second public service announcement heralding the importance of vaccinations. In addition to the short PSA, the HHS had several versions of the video produced — including a nearly three-minute video distributed on YouTube, through the combined efforts of HHS, Sesame Street and The Daily Dot.

The gold price did nothing in Far East trading—and once the dollar index began to head south with a vengeance, it was obvious that JPMorgan et al were there to prevent the price from breaking out to the upside. It managed to rally above unchanged going into the jobless claims number at 8:30 a.m. EDT, but the HFT boyz and their algorithms were there with their jackboots—and that as they say, was that. The low tick came at the London p.m. gold fix—and from there it rallied quietly and unsteadily into the 5:15 p.m. close of electronic trading.
The high and low ticks were reported by the CME Group as $1,207.40 and $1,176.00 in the June contract.
Gold finished the Thursday session at $1,184.00 spot, down $20.60 from Wednesday’s close—and well off its low. Net volume was monstrous at 204,000 contracts.

Markets Are Stirring: Complacency Meets Froth
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/02/2015 - 12:36 Peering into the froth of a cappuccino, we noticed various sized bubbles. There is a fine line between froth and bubbles. As we continued our gaze, both eventually disappeared. Stirring made the frothy bubbles disappear more quickly. Markets are beginning to stir (more later). Unsustainable states ultimately end.In January of this year, Western Journalism reported on the millions of dollars that liberal billionaire George Soros and his politically involved foundations gave to help various groups of Ferguson protesters. “Buses of activists from a litany of organizations — all funded in part by Mr. Soros” showed up in the Missouri city scorched by riots related to the police-involved death of Michael Brown.
Soros, of course, is widely recognized for his generous support of liberal causes, politicians, lobbying efforts, and media organizations. The website DiscoverTheNetworks.org has compiled an eye-opening list of many dozens of groups funded directly or indirectly by George Soros and his Open Society Institute. Among the recipients of Soros’ millions are or have been:
