Microsoft's Twitter Chat Robot Quickly Devolves Into Racist, Homophobic, Nazi, Obama-Bashing Psychopath

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/24/2016 - 17:58 Overnight we got a vivid example of just how quickly "artificial intelligence" can spiral out of control when Microsoft's AI-powered Twitter chat robot, Tay, became a racist, misogynist, Obama-hating, antisemitic, incest and genocide-promoting psychopath when released into the wild.

The Threat Continues: Yuan Weakens For 6th Straight Day - Longest Losing Streak In 2 Years

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/24/2016 - 23:15 PBOC fixed the Yuan at its weakest in 3 weeks, pushing the devaluation streak to its longest since early January. However, Offshore Yuan has now dropped over 1.1% against the USD, extending losses for the 6th straight day to 3-week lows. This is the longest streak of weakness in the offshore Yuan since April 2014. What's the opposite of passive-aggressive as a clear message is being sent to The Fed - tighten and we unleash the Yuan-weakness-driven turmoil...

Refugee Crisis: Using Chaos To Build Power

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/24/2016 - 22:00 A European Union military force with power to intervene in member states. A new “Marshall Plan” to radically redesign whole regions of the world and impose regional government. A United Nations empowered to manage it all. Christendom under siege. And the end of nationhood as it is understood today. That is where the “refugee crisis” is heading, as the engineered disaster wreaks havoc across Europe and beyond. Despite the appearance of chaos, though, it is all by design, with a series of radical goals in mind.

For The Average American, Owning A Home Is Increasingly Unaffordable

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/24/2016 - 21:01 Home prices are rising faster than wages in most of the United States, making homeownership increasingly difficult for average Americans in some of the most populous areas of the country, according to a report released on Thursday. The report found that home price growth exceeded wage growth in nearly two thirds of the nation's housing markets so far this year, with urban centers like San Francisco and New York City among the least affordable.

It's 1790 All Over Again - The World Is Sunk By Central Banker Conceit

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/24/2016 - 21:00 The conceit of the majority of the members of the National Assembly in France in 1790 led to the total prostration of the economy of France in the course of seven years. The conceited Central Bankers of today will without a doubt achieve a world sunk in economic prostration. But don't expect any one of them to ever say "We were mistaken".

Emory Students "Scared, In Pain" After Safe-Space Violated By Word "Trump" Written In Chalk

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/24/2016 - 19:30 Be afraid, be very afraid. These images are disturbing "safe spaces" and may cause individuals to suffer "pain" and be "scared." Reader discretion is advised...

"Why We Need To Beat Russia"

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/24/2016 - 19:28 Only Gold has the history, depth, unique qualities, loyalty of the elite and transitional power to challenge any man, any nation, any system on earth, past, present and future. The Dynasties understand this, because they have both witnessed and authored this axiom across generations of asset accumulation. As the sand peters past the last curve of the hour glass the Dynastic hand is clear to see. So the Neo-cons need to beat Russia, and soon, as only Globalism can keep the markets enchained.

ISIS Attacked Brussels? The US Created ISIS? Therefore?

by Jon Rappoport, Activist Post:
I want to acknowledge two researchers and reporters, whose work cuts deeply into the ISIS mirage: Tony Cartalucci and Brandon Turbeville. In a half-sane world, Cartalucci would be the international editor of the New York Times, if the Times were a real news outlet.
If we accept the premise that ISIS attacked Brussels, then the next question is: what is ISIS?
Who is behind it? Who supplies it? Who funds it? Who sustains it?

Jihad In Brussels

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/24/2016 - 17:30 "[T]he most important factor is Belgium's culture of denial... Observers who point to unpleasant truths such as the high incidence of crime among Moroccan youth and violent tendencies in radical Islam are accused of being propagandists of the extreme-right, and are subsequently ignored and ostracized."

The Biggest Short

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/24/2016 - 18:30 Some reversals of financial trends prove so momentous they define the generation in which they occur. The stock market crash in 1929 kicked off the Great Depression, which ushered in the welfare and then the warfare state and redefined the relationship between government and citizens. Bonds and stocks began their bull market runs in the early 1980s. Now, those markets are fonts of optimism increasingly unhinged from reality. The US has come full circle. The New Deal and World War II marked a massive shift of resources and power to the federal government. Conversely, financial reversal will fuel a virulent backlash against the government and its central bank.

Excellent Interview – A Brief History of Corporate Immunity

from Liberty Blitzkrieg:
Like so many other cases of egregious financial fraud over the past several years, regulators used softball tactics to go easy on the banks. No bank was even forced to admit wrongdoing in the orders by the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. Regulators avoided court and settled for cash, which the traders won’t pay – the bank’s shareholders will. Officials presented a minimal amount of evidence, lacking the full details of the traders’ misconduct. They sought no judicial review.
In short, banks got away with their crimes for a pittance; their stocks even rose on the news of the settlements because the market believes the trouble is over.

Fluffy White Snowflakes Full of Pollutants

by Julie Fidler, Natural Society:

We’ve all stood outside on a wintry day, trying to catch snowflakes on our tongues. Heck, some people even make snow ice cream.
But scientists in Canada have found that snow absorbs nanosized particles and certain organic components of car exhausts. [1] Maybe you should avoid the white snow as much as the yellow kind.
Research has shown that tiny particles spit out by exhaust fumes negatively impact both the environment and human health. This type of pollution is especially bad for people with asthma and can cause cancer. One in 8 deaths worldwide can be attributed to air pollution, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

It Starts: San Francisco Office Boom Deflates, but Fitch Says It’s “Unlikely to Collapse” this Time

from Wolf Street:

Other tech-heavy office markets too.
For some time, we’ve heard through the rumor mill that commercial real estate brokers in San Francisco are getting nervous. Then Savillis Studley released its report on the San Francisco office market for the fourth quarter. A very mixed bag for the first time since 2009. And now even Fitch Ratings is getting antsy.
“Overall vacant availability posted its first material increase since 2009, rising by 0.6 percentage points to 8.0%,” Savillis Studley reported for Q4. “The Class A rate spiked by 0.8 pp to 8.5%.” And worse: “More sublet space hit the market.”

Housing Sales Start To Tank As Suprime Auto Loan Delinquencies Soar

by Dave Kranzler, Investment Research Dynamics:

Note: For the record, I am expecting the possibility that the new homes sales report for February released today will show an unexpected spike up. For the past several months, there’s been what I believe to be a pre-meditated pattern in which the existing home sales data series and the new home data series move in the opposite direction. Let’s see if the trend continues.
The existing home sales data series has become as erratic and unpredictable as the Census Bureau’s new home sales report. One can only wonder about the reliability of the National Association of Realtors reporting methodology when its Chief “Economist” repetitively states month after month that “job growth continues to hum along at a robust pace.”

This 1976 vaccine scandal will DISTURB you … but has anything changed?

by Mike Adams, Natural News:
A great philosopher once said: “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” Those words are worth keeping in mind as the media barrages us with yet another round of swine flu panic.
The swine flu “outbreak” of 2009, which many now consider to have been little more than a hoax, may still be fresh on some people’s minds – especially those who suffer from conditions caused by tainted vaccines.
But to gain an even clearer picture of how these scares are invented and perpetuated over and over again, let’s take a look at what happened in 1976.
