"Most Liberal" US College Unleashes Demands For "Deconstructing The White Supremacist, Patriarchal, Capitalist System"

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/19/2015 - 15:55
The manifesto for the micro-aggressives has been unleashed on an unknowing "safe-space"-seeking, politically-corrected, American public. Students at no lesser liberalist college than Oberlin, Ohio, have released 14 pages of full social-justice-warrior-tard warning that they are "not polite requests, but concrete and unmalleable demands." If Oberlin doesn’t capitulate, the document warns of a “full and forceful response,” though, despite the detailed demands, what the “response” would be remains entirely undefined. "We as a College-defined 'high risk', 'low income', 'disadvantaged' community should not have to carry the burden of deconstructing the white supremacist, patriarchal, capitalist system that we took no part in creating, yet is so deeply embedded in the soil upon which this institution was built."

As Wall Street Vultures Circle The Next Junk Bond Fund Casualty, A Familiar Name Emerges

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/19/2015 - 17:38 And so Wall Street has set its sights on the next junk bond fund casualty, a name which is well-known to most equity market participants: none other than Waddell and Reed (WDR), the fund which rose to infamy in the aftermath of the May 2010 Flash Crash, after it was initially blamed by the SEC as the culprit behind the Dow's 1000 point crash...

TRAITOR: PAUL RYAN PARTNERS WITH BARACK OBAMA TO BETRAY AMERICA WITH ‘FUNDAMENTAL TRANSFORMATION’ SPENDING BILL

by Geoffrey Grider, Now The End Begins:
REP. PAUL RYAN’S FIRST MAJOR LEGISLATIVE ACHIEVEMENT IS A TOTAL AND COMPLETE SELL-OUT OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE MASQUERADING AS AN APPROPRIATIONS BILL.

Obama’s Former Defense Secretary Just Made A Sickening Revelation

from Western Journalism:

The Obama administration’s lack of a defined, coherent policy on Syria was the result of too many directionless meetings and far too little commitment by the man at the top, former Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel insists.
In a wide-ranging interview with Foreign Policy, Hagel paints a dismal picture of ineffectual leadership and a lack of direction from the late summer of 2013, when the Syrian crisis was reaching its first boil, to October 2014, when Hagel sent around a memo that said “we don’t have a policy.”
Hagel cited a telling incident. On Aug. 30, 2013, he had finished arranging for Tomahawk cruise missile strikes against Syria after Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad used gas against his own people, crossing President Obama’s supposed “red line.” Then, Obama called him to cancel the attack.

Is This How The Dollar Gets Replaced?

The Market Has Spoken: The Fed Made A Policy Mistake And "Quantitative Failure" Looms - What Comes Next

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/19/2015 - 14:43 "Since the risk of Quantitative Failure brings with it the risk of more extreme policies/politics in 2016, the natural hedges are gold & volatility. Gold in particular will be interesting to watch in coming months. The Fed’s determination to raise rates means gold prices should fall. If in contrast gold rises with Fed hikes that’s a clear sign of a “policy mistake” and investors anticipating the need for more inflationary policies next year."

Hedge Fund Gold Positioning Has Never Been This Extreme

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/19/2015 - 13:45 Having closed lower for 8 of the last 9 weeks, gold has become the momentum-chasing hedge fund community's latest target. Despite empirical data showing no relationship between higher rates and 'lower' gold, the meme continues as Managed Money added to its already record short position in gold futures this week, pushing the leveraged bets to the most extremely bearish in history.

Market Shudders As Brazil Risks "Succumbing To Fiscal Populism" With New FinMin

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/19/2015 - 13:15 Brazil has a new finance minister and the market is not happy. As BofAML puts it, "the focus turns now to the direction of the fiscal policy under the new FinMin, which should affect the recovery in confidence and thus growth. With mounting downside risks to growth that heavily weigh on the government’s revenues and the ongoing challenges in passing fiscal measures in Congress, tangible results over statements will now be needed to improve expectations over primary fiscal results ahead."

On "Average", Stocks Are Testing The Post-2009 Uptrend

Repo Experts Stumped: How Could Fed Hike Without Draining ANY Liquidity: "This Is A Market By Decree"

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/19/2015 - 12:04 "The Fed didn't really drain any liquidity yesterday. They moved the IOER up to .50%, moved the RRP rate up to .25%, and the RRP volume came in at $105 billion, only $3 billion more than the day before. Where was the draining? But interest rates moved up anyway to reflect the tightening, without any fundamental change. Basically, the Fed decreed a rate tightening and the market moved rates higher.... I wonder how many economic interest rate models include "by decree" as a factor?"

Turkey Blasts "Breakthrough" UN Resolution On Syria: "It Lacks Perspective. Assad Must Go!"

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/19/2015 - 09:15 In the wake of a Security Council resolution on Syria that failed to consider the fate of Bashar al-Assad, a belligerent Turkey is fuming mad. In comments made from Istanbul on Saturday, PM Ahmet Davutoglu said the UN's stance "lacks realistic perspective." He also said Turkish troops will remain in Iraq until Mosul is "freed" from ISIS. Translation: Turkish boots will be on Iraqi ground for the foreseeable future.

CISA Is Now The Law: How Congress Quietly Passed The Second Patriot Act

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/18/2015 - 21:49 Update: CISA is now the law: OBAMA SIGNS SPENDING, TAX BILL THAT REPEALS OIL EXPORT BAN
"They’re kind of pulling a Patriot Act." When Obama signs the $1.1 trillion Spending Bill in a few hours, as he will, it will be official: the second Patriot Act will become the law, and with it what little online privacy US citizens may have had, will be gone.

Silver: Rationed Sales, Falling Prices

from The Daily Coin:

The blatant criminality that is the COMEX has reached a point of being in your face. Really, the only way to not see it is to know absolutely nothing about gold and silver. The worldwide demand for both precious metals is running at record levels and has for the past few years. The US Mint, which is one of the few measures for silver investment demand, has set new volume records for the past four years in a row! While the demand is on a steady uphill climb the acquisition cost has been going down. Even if you know nothing about economics or precious metals you know that when demand is high for a product and the supply is limited the acquisition cost usually goes up. Look at how the price for some of the latest igadgets responds when they are first released or concert tickets for a sold out show and the list goes on. One doesn’t have to be an economist to understand the basic concept of supply and demand.

Washington Wants Its Empire Of Bases Expanded

from The Sleuth Journal:

Well over 1,000 global bases in around two-thirds of the world’s nations aren’t enough for Pentagon commanders.
They’re exploiting the hyped threat of terrorism to say they want more. A feature December 10 NYT Times report headlined “As It Fights ISIS, Pentagon Seeks String of Bases Overseas.”
The Times ignored its bloated budget and current global empire of bases, used as launching pads for war, threatening world peace. Additional ones assure more conflicts, escalated current ones, and the horror of possible global war with nuclear weapons, humanity’s greatest threat.
