Just two months ago, former Fed President Dick Fisher admitted that "The Fed front-loaded an enormous market rally in order to create a wealth effect." Today he is back, taking a victory lap onthe 7th anniversary of the crisis lows by explaining, rather stunningly, to CNBC that "we injected cocaine and heroin into the system" to enable a wealth effect (that he admits did not work, despite its success in raising asset prices), and "now we are maintaining it with ritalin." Fisher also confirmed his previous warning that "The Fed is a giant weapon that has no ammunition left."
"At This Point" It's Over: Establishment's Last Hope Fades As Trump Leads Rubio By 23 Points In Florida
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/09/2016 - 10:56 The GOP’s preferred candidate was obviously Jeb Bush. The last name says it all. But that crashed and burned in dramatic fashion and so, the establishment shifted its support to Marco Rubio. That worked out for all of one caucus.
Tailing 10 Year Auction A Dud As Foreign Central Banks Step Back
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/09/2016 - 13:12 Having documented the unprecedented shortage of underlying 10Y paper as a result of record low repo rates which have been at "fails" for the past week, everyone was anxiously awaiting today's 10Y auction to see just how the market would soak up today's $20 billion in 10 year paper. And the answer, somewhat surprisingly, was lousy because traditionally when there is a massive, and in this case record, short overhang, the auction tends to price through the when issued. Not this time, because moments ago the 10Y printed at 1.895%, tailing by 0.6bps to the 1.889% When Issued.New Video: The FBI Narrative Unravels in the Aftermath of the Killing of Lavoy Finicum
A newly-released synced video of of the killing of Lavoy Finicum makes several things clear:
1.) The OSP and FBI started shooting before Finicim exited the pickup truck. (Note the timing of when the driver’s-side rear window is shattered by the FBI 5.56 round that hit the roof and wounded Ryan Bundy.)
2.) Finicum exited his hands up.
3.) After Finicum was shot in the back and down, and even through there was no sign of resistance from the surviving passengers, the officers continued to shoot through the side windows and windshield of the pickup with pepper gas rounds, and possibly some pistol or rifle rounds.
And The Oregonian now reports that the FBI HRT team apparently conspired to conceal evidence and get their story straight about two shots that were fired by FBI sniper(s), wounding Ryan Bundy, and startling Finicum, putting him in stark fear of his life. The FBI HRT agents all lied in sworn statements, on two occasions. That is now an indisputable fact. When will these agents be suspended from duty and prosecuted?
To me, all of this looks like grounds for multi-million dollar excessive force and wrongful death lawsuits! – JWR

And you think your vote counts...
We all know the elite are on the warpath against Donald Trump, with everyone from pundits, to major world leaders, to the Pope speaking out against him. Newt Gingrich recently said it’s because Trump isn’t part of the secret societies and hasn’t taken the initiation rites.
Regardless, Trump has received a groundswell of support from the average conservative American, winning state primaries left and right. Ohio’s primary is coming up on March 15, and it’s a big one because it’s a “winner takes all” state.

“And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.” Mark 3:25
As the Republican Party, along with the help from FOX News, who just happens to be a financial supporter of the Clinton’s Foundation, continually disrupt support for candidates that are leading with support from the American people. In their latest attempt to help usher in Hillary Clinton, they sent forth their unqualified, two-time loser Mitt Romney to hypocritically attack Donald Trump. That was proceeded by anti-American Obama minion Paul Ryan giving Barack Obama everything that he wanted and more when he helped push through an omnibus bill that places $2 trillion deficit on the backs of The American people.

When a single multi-billionaire controls not only America’s Radio Free Europe/Radio Free Asia/Radio Liberty operations in Munich and Prague and he virtually owns and operates such non-profit non-governmental organizations like Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International, national governments targeted by such a menace should take notice and respond aggressively. George Soros will continue to dominate the foreign policy of a Hillary Clinton administration. Soros recently donated $8 million to boost her presidential campaign.
Nation-states that have been and will continue to be targeted by Soros’s «soft power», which has always received more than a «wink and a nod» from the US Central Intelligence Agency, which bequeathed to him operations of the Cold War propaganda radio stations after the end of the Cold War, should establish «Counter-Soros Operations» teams, or «CSOs», within foreign ministries or information services to keep track of Soros’s huge propaganda empire and its own destabilization operations.

Peter Schiff: The Establishment Is Peddling Fiction, Ignoring Fact
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/09/2016 - 11:15 Janet Yellen is in a very difficult spot. If she continues to ignore the growing signs of recession, she runs the risk of letting one develop prior to the election. This would favor the Republican challenger who would be disinclined to reappoint her as Fed Chairwoman, if elected. Allowing the Greenspan bubble to bust on Bush’s watch sealed John McCain’s fate, allowing Obama to ride a wave of voter outrage into the White House in 2008. Yellen does not want Trump to catch a similar wave in 2016. As a result, we expect the Fed to soften its rhetoric in the very near future.

Chevron Protects Dividend, Slashes Another 36% Off Spending

Referring to his company’s first negative reserve-replacement ratio in 12 years, Shell’s CFO said in February: "While we're not entirely comfortable with a negative number, it's not the most important thing today.”

Despite Record Cushing Inventory, Oil Jumps To $38 On Biggest Gasoline Draw In A Year
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/09/2016 - 10:38 DOE's 3.88mm inventory build confirms API's print and is the 8th weekly rise in the last 9 for overall crude levels. Cushing also saw a build (690k) -- the 17th week of the last 18. But the market - for now - is focused on the 4.5mm barrel draw in gasoline inventories - the biggest in a year, as the seasonals pickup. Crude jumped on the news, seemingly ignoring the fact that Cushing inventories now stand at a record high 66.9mm barrels. Also notably, US production rose for the first time in 7 weeks.

Is the bounce in energy stocks for real?

During strong gold bull markets, the price of gold often hits a
one-to-one ratio with the Dow Jones industrial average, says the
chairman of Franco-Nevada Mining and former president of Newmont Mining.
That means gold could surge to US $8,000 an ounce or even higher, he says.
“In 1980 gold was at US $800 and the Dow was at 800; in 1934 gold was US$36 and the Dow was at 37 – where is the Dow today? Do I know it’s going to go back to 1:1 – I don’t know… even if it gets to 2:1, that’s US$8,000 –.

When seconds count, you’d better have a way to defend yourself because no one else will be there to help.
According to reports, it came down to a matter of life and death when a Kentucky woman was followed by a man in the mall. When she entered the garage elevator, as shown in the video below, the man followed behind. Neither of them said anything to each other and the woman knew instinctively what was about to happen.
As soon as the elevator door opened she bolted for her car.
The stalker, John Ganobick, gave chase.

Any student of history learns that people will put up with horrific government abuse before they do anything about it. And so I’ve been watching for years, waiting to see how much abuse the Western world, and Americans in particular, will accept from government before they admit that they’re being abused.
In dark moments, I’ve even wondered whether this time was different, whether the natural human reaction against pain had somehow been eliminated. People in the past have rebelled against far less.
But I’ve also come to understand we have, in our times, a unique driver of compliance. By that, I refer to the most sacred of our public idols, “democracy.”
