Billionaire Eric Sprott Issues One Of The Most Dire Warnings Of 2015


from KingWorldNews:
Eric Sprott: “I don’t think there is any doubt about the world economy rolling over. China has been the major buyer of all products and they’re not holding it together here. They’ve experienced a market crash already, with these huge amounts of debts that the Chinese have taken. The Chinese have created more debt than anybody. Their debt outstanding has increased remarkably….
“The debt is accelerating way faster than the economy is growing. And the economy is the engine that produces the earnings to pay the interest on the debt. Well, if the engine starts misfiring, who is going to pay the interest and how do you pay off the principle?

Top Economic Forecaster Warns: Have Cash On Hand To Survive For Three Months: “No Institution Is Safe”

by Mac Slavo, SHTFPlan:
Economic forecaster Martin Armstrong, who is known for having accurately predicted major events like the Savings & Loan crash, the collapse of Japanese financial markets and the destruction of the Russian economy almost to the day, says that a major turning point is coming to the global paradigm this October. While stopping short of calling for an all out crash, Armstrong’s cyclical turning point of 2015.75 suggests that very big changes are set to take place.
But how do you prepare for the uncertainty of what’s to come?
Armstrong says you’d better have some cash on hand for short-term disruptions, just in case your financial institution shuts down like they did in Greece:

Richard Russell – Despite Massive Propaganda, U.S. Economy Sinking, John Williams Is Right, The Big Lie & The War In Gold

from KingWorldNews:
I strongly suspect that John Williams is right, that the US, despite all the frantic government and Fed propaganda, has slid back into recession. This is something I am not happy about since I feel the future of the human race depends very much on the brilliance and the democratic desires of the United States. Studying the market figures, I can’t say that the market is going my way.
An hour before the close, the Dow is still under 18,000 and down 126. The Transports are down 168 and hovering just above the critical 8,000 level. The Nasdaq is down 25 and holding just above the big number resistance of 5,000. Gold is down 4.8 to 1086.7 and silver is down 0.18 to 14.55.

The Three Cs Keeping CFOs Up At Night: China, Commodities, Currencies

With two-thirds of companies still set to report, and as the second quarter earnings season continues and assures the first revenue and EPS recession since 2009, the question on everyone's lips is just how bad will/can it get. The answer will be determined largely by any/all of the following three "C"s which continue to define the ugly face of non-GAAP corporate earnings for the past 3 quarters which appear set to persist for the foreseeable future.

Clinton’s Emails Included ‘Classified Information;’ 30,000 Emails ‘Purported to Have Been Copied’ to Thumb Drive in Possession of Her Lawyer

by Brittany M. Hughes, CNSnews:
Four out of a sample of just 40 emails that were on former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s personal email server “included IC-derived classified information,” according to a memorandum that L. Charles McCullough, III, the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community, sent yesterday to the chairmen and ranking members of the House and Senate intelligence committees and to DNI James Clapper.
Additionally, McCullough said, “we were informed by State FOIA officials that there are potentially hundreds of classified emails within the approximately 30,000 provided by former Secretary Clinton” and that these 30,00 emails “are purported to have been copied to a thumb drive in the possession of former Secretary Clinton’s personal counsel, Williams and Connelly attorney David Kendall.”
“Since the referenced 25 June 2015 notification, we were informed by State FOIA officials that there are potentially hundreds of classified emails within the approximately 30,000 provided by former Secretary Clinton,” the IG informed the intelligence chairmen and the DNI.

So Yeah, Hillary Clinton Did Send Classified Emails From Her Private Account After All

from Liberty Blitzkrieg:
I did not email any classified material to anyone on my email. There is no classified material. So I’m certainly well aware of the classification requirements and did not send classified material.
– Hillary Clinton’s public comments on the EmailGate scandal back in March
Two inspectors general have asked the Justice Department to open a criminal investigation into whether sensitive government information was mishandled in connection with the personal email account Hillary Rodham Clinton used as secretary of state, senior government officials said Thursday. The request follows an assessment in a June 29 memo by the inspectors general for the State Department and the intelligence agencies that Mrs. Clinton’s private account contained “hundreds of potentially classified emails.” The memo was written to Patrick F. Kennedy, the under secretary of state for management.
– From today’s New York Times article: Criminal Inquiry Is Sought in Clinton Email Account
So in today’s news — the grass is green, the sky is blue, the sun is shining in Colorado, and the pantsuit revolutionary was caught in another lie.

Leftist Journalist: “It Would Be Funny If All Gun Rights People Got Shot Dead”

Tells detractors “I hope you die in random gunfire”
by Steve Watson, Infowars:
A leftist journalist who writes for Slate and The Boston Globe was caught up in a Twitter firestorm following the tragic Lafayette shooting last night, stating that he’d find it “funny” if all Second Amendment supporters were shot dead.
Luke O’Neil is a freelance writer with anti-gun views, which, judging by his tweets, means compassion and tolerance of other people’s rights go out of the window.
Here’s the tweet that O’Neil sent out following the movie theater shooting incident:

Has The US Finished The Trap Assad Had Begun To Set For Turkey?

The US Syrian policy forces Ankara to walk a fine line between ISIS, Assad’s regime, Kurds, the US and its own interest. We will not rule out that Erdo?an could declare a state of emergency and postpone new elections. Whatever the result of the power struggle in Ankara may be, Turkey’s military will not accept the YPG and PKK armed to the teeth by the US.



This Has Never Happened To Gold Before

For the first time since records began, hedge funds are net short gold futures, according to CFTC data...



Paul Craig Roberts: The Eroding Character Of The American People

The question is: why do Americans not only sit silently while the lives of innocents are destroyed, but also actually support the destruction of the lives of innocents? Why do Americans believe "official sources" despite the proven fact that “official sources” lie repeatedly and never tell the truth? The only conclusion that one can come to is that the American people have failed. We have failed Justice. We have failed Mercy. We have failed the US Constitution. We have failed Truth. We have failed Democracy and representative government. We have failed ourselves and humanity. We have failed the confidence that our Founding Fathers put in us. If we ever had the character that we are told we had, we have obviously lost it. Little, if anything, remains of the "American character."



Aussie Dollar Tests Long-Term Trendline As China Contagion Spreads

Last week, we asked "Is Australia the next Greece?" It appears, judging bu the collapse in the Aussie Dollar, that some - if not all - are starting to believe it's possible after last night's 15-month low in China Manufacturing PMI. As UBS previously noted, China's real GDP growth cycles have become an increasingly important driver of Australia's nominal GDP growth this last decade. With iron ore and coal prices plumbing new record lows, a Chinese (real) economy firing on perhaps 1 cyclinder, and equity investors reeling from China's collapse; perhaps the situation facing Australia is more like Greece than many want to admit.



The Eurasian Big Bang: How China & Russia Are Running Rings Around Washington

Tehran, Beijing, Moscow, Islamabad, and New Delhi have been actively establishing interlocking security guarantees. They have been simultaneously calling the Atlanticist bluff when it comes to the endless drumbeat of attention given to the flimsy meme of Iran’s "nuclear weapons program."  And a few days before the Vienna nuclear negotiations finally culminated in an agreement, all of this came together at a twin BRICS/SCO summit in Ufa, Russia -- a place you’ve undoubtedly never heard of and a meeting that got next to no attention in the U.S.  And yet sooner or later, these developments will ensure that the War Party in Washington and assorted neocons (as well as neoliberalcons) already breathing hard over the Iran deal will sweat bullets as their narratives about how the world works crumble.



US Mint Sells Most Physical Gold In Two Years On Same Day Gold Price Hits Five Year Low

Just like in the case of silver three weeks ago, today's gold liquidation was not due to selling of physical metal. In fact, quite the contrary: according to the US mint, so far in July the mint has sold a whopping 143,000 ounces of physical gold - the most in over two years, or since April of 2013 - even as the price of gold briefly slid to the lowest level in 5 years.

Recent Turkey-Syria Border Clashes A Bad Omen Of Invasion?

by Brandon Turbeville, Activist Post:
On Thursday (July 23, 2015), Turkey scrambled fighter jets and launched a small amount of ground forces into Syrian territory after clashes with ISIS fighters on the Turkey-Syria border.
Some are now wondering if the incident is an omen of a coming attack on Syria’s northern region.
The Turkish military claims that a Turkish border unit was attacked by 5 ISIS fighters armed with a rocket launcher and Kalishnikovs. The Turkish army unit reported that it had seized the weapons, killed one of the fighters, and destroyed three vehicles.

$1.99 per pound Filet Mignon …and War!

by Bill Holter, GoldSeek:
After planning to take this week off for a little rest, market gyrations have changed the plan. Initially next week I was going to pen a piece titled “Truth, Justice and no longer the American way”. This will now wait a bit.
This past Sunday night and Monday’s action in gold needs to be discussed of what I believe is now a rapidly moving big picture. $2.7 billion worth of gold futures were sold in just 2 minutes Sunday night. As I have asked before, “who” could possibly “own” this much gold other than an official source? The answer of course is nearly no one other than a very small handful of ETF’s. In perspective, $2.7 billion worth of gold is roughly 3% of global production. Said differently, it amounts to nearly 10 days worth of labor and production worldwide… sold in less than two minutes!

Financial Time Bombs Push Gold Eagles Sales To Record High

by Steve St. Angelo, SRS Rocco Report:

Investors worried about the coming explosions in the financial system purchased record numbers of Gold Eagles in July.  Not only are July sales of Gold Eagles the highest in 2015, they surpassed all monthly totals for the past two years…. and we still have another week remaining.
The reason for the big surge in the U.S. Mint’s Gold Eagle sales is due to the increasing number of financial time bombs that are now set to go off in the future.  Financial contagion stemming from a Greek default and possible exit from the European Union triggered increased buying of Gold Eagles in June.

Silver Prices 100 Years

from Gold Silver Worlds:
The graph below shows 100 years of silver and crude oil prices on a log scale using the annual average of daily prices. Example: The price of silver peaked in 1980 at about $50 but the smoothed annual average was about $16.
Prices slowly increased until the 1970s. After the expensive Vietnam War and the War on Poverty, President Nixon broke the connection between the dollar and gold, and the prices of silver and crude oil rose rapidly, along with debt and money in circulation.
But price does not tell the whole story.
1. In 1970 the US government had stockpiled almost 2 billion ounces of silver. By the early 2000s that stockpile was essentially gone and had been sold into the physical market depressing prices after the 1970-1980 run up.

Gold And Silver – The US Dollar Does Not Exist, Part II

by Michael Noonan, Edge Trader Plus:
It is reasons such as these, below, that drives the importance of owning and holding physical silver and gold. The fundamental reasons everyone already knows exists but do not apply are important, but the power of the elites to rule over all [at least Western] governments, write the laws, deceive everyone, and now with the evidence of how much influence the bankers can exert over the manipulation of PM prices, is why you need to protect yourself from the evil nature of their control.
The elites want to destroy your belief in the value of owning golf and silver, and they have reenforcing price down despite the overwhelming demand for both. That should embolden your resolve even more. For how much longer this can go on, no one knows. What you can know with a great amount of certainty is that Newton’s 3rd Law of Physics will kick in: for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

UBS’s Puerto Rico Bond Funds Implode, “Collateral Value” Drops to Zero, Investors Screwed

from Wolf Street:

“We believe that the probability of default is approaching 100 percent, and that losses given default are substantial,” Moody’s wrote on Wednesday about Puerto Rico’s $72 billion in bonds that were stuffed into numerous conservative-sounding bond funds spread across America’s retirement portfolios.
“Bondholder recoveries will be lowest on securities lacking explicit contractual or other legal protections,” the report went on, according to Bloomberg. About $26 billion in bonds fall into this category, issued by entities such as the Government Development Bank, Highways and Transportation Authority, Infrastructure Finance Authority, and Municipal Finance Authority. Investors in these bonds might recover only 35 cents on the dollar.

Republican Operatives Plot To Sabotage Trump – But That Could Turn Him Into Their Worst Nightmare

by Michael Snyder, End of the American Dream:
Could Donald Trump become the next Ross Perot?  Right now, there is a push by Republican insiders to try to find a way to sabotage the Trump campaign and even potentially exclude him from future debates.  These Republican operatives claim that he is “damaging the party”, but what they really mean by that is that he is playing havoc with their plans of getting Jeb Bush into the White House.  You see, the truth is that most of the other Republican candidates are just there for window dressing.  All of the big money is already lining up behind Jeb Bush, and his campaign recently announced that it has already raised 114 million dollars.  Perhaps Scott Walker or Marco Rubio have an outside chance of contending with the Bush machine, but everyone else is just supposed to be cannon fodder and most of them know it.  If everything goes to plan, Bush will clinch the nomination very early, and that is precisely the way that the Republican establishment wants it.

The Key To Happiness Found

from Truth Never Told:



The End of Capitalism Has Begun

from ZenGardner:
Without us noticing, we are entering the postcapitalist era. At the heart of further change to come is information technology, new ways of working and the sharing economy. The old ways will take a long while to disappear, but it’s time to be utopian…
The red flags and marching songs of Syriza during the Greek crisis, plus the expectation that the banks would be nationalised, revived briefly a 20th-century dream: the forced destruction of the market from above. For much of the 20th century this was how the left conceived the first stage of an economy beyond capitalism. The force would be applied by the working class, either at the ballot box or on the barricades. The lever would be the state. The opportunity would come through frequent episodes of economic collapse.

Your CRIMINAL Gov’t: House Passes Bill BLOCKING STATE REQUIREMENTS for Labeling GMO’s

by Raven Clabough, The New American:
As predicted, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the innocuously titled “Safe and Accurate Food Labeling Act of 2015,” which prohibits states from issuing mandatory labeling laws for foods containing genetically modified organisms (GMOs), in yet another incredible show of federalism run amuck.
The bill, H.R. 1599, requires a national standard for labeling laws related to GMOs, which would not require food companies to disclose their use of genetically modified ingredients. Under the bill, companies that want to indicate that the product is “GMO-free” may still do so. But even then, the bill outlaws any non-GMO claim unless it has been approved through a new certification process created by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Florida Man Ordered by City to Keep BBQ Smell From Leaving His Property

[Ed. Note: So how would YOU react when some slob from the goobermint shows up at your property with baggy jeans, a checkery-pattern-kind-of-shirt he apparently just threw on after getting roused from his nap, and an “official-looking” folder telling you that you can only grill out when wind patterns cause the odors to stay in your own yard? This is beyond the pale for a “free” society]
by Mikael Thalen, InfoWars:
A Florida man was confronted by a county environmental specialist this week and absurdly ordered to keep the smell of his BBQ from leaving his property. Video of the incident, originally posted to Facebook Wednesday by homeowner Scotty Jordan, shows Pinellas County Environmental Specialist Joe Graham discussing the alleged infraction with Jordan and friends after a nearby neighbor alerted the county.
“I’m only here because of the odor,” Graham says. “I’m only here because of the smoke.”
During the conversation, Graham asserts that the men are in violation of a local “rule” that bans the smell of BBQ from crossing over one’s property line.

“It’s Raining Missiles. A Nightmare that Refuses to End!” – Testimony from the War in Yemen

by Helene Aecherli, Global Research:
Yemenis want to be heard. They need to be heard. Thus I have asked Yemeni friends of mine, men and women, to tell their stories, to give a personal account of their experiences of the war in Yemen and to send me pictures that illustrate their texts. I will post them here on this website, one by one. I hope their writing will have an impact.
Layla M. Asda (26) is doing her Master in International Development and Gender at the university of Sana’a. She is ready to take her country forward. But she is stranded in the war. As million of other young Yemenis. In her text she gives a painfully detailed account of how the war affects her and her country. And she appeals to the war faring fractions to realise that there is no point of waging wars. It only creates destruction, hatred and the urge for revenge.
“It’s raining!” I felt happy because “rain is what I adore”, I thought to myself as I heard the sounds of thunder. Yes, it turned out to be rain – but a different kind of rain: It was raining missiles!

‘Old Age or Disability Does Not Make Someone a Threat to Society’

by Melanie Hunter, CNSnews:
Speaking on the House floor on Wednesday, Rep. Sam Johnson (R-Texas) warned that President Barack Obama is trying to “deny millions of law-abiding Americans” the right to bear arms “by going through Social Security.”
“Mr. Speaker, President Obama is at it again. He’s now seeking to deny millions of law-abiding Americans their Second Amendment right to bear arms by going through Social Security, and why is that? Because he couldn’t get gun control through the Congress. The American people wouldn’t stand for it,” said Johnson.
“Mr. Speaker, old age or disability does not make someone a threat to society. These folks should be able to defend themselves just like everyone else,” Johnson said. According to the LA Times, Obama is pushing to extend gun background checks to include “anyone who has been declared incompetent to manage pension or disability payments and assigned a fiduciary.”
