Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/15/2016 - 12:55 With Trump preparing to steamroll the competition in today's all important primaries, where a victory in Florida is now all but assured and only a Kasich challenge in Ohio can potentially spoil the day for the Donald - if Trump wins Florida and Ohio, it's over - earlier today he got some more good news to propell him even further: for the first time Trump has the support of a majority of Republican primary voters nationwide, scoring an all time high of 53% in support at the national level.

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/15/2016 - 14:25 The biggest danger to the S&P500 over the short-term has little to do with what Janet Yellen may say tomorrow, and everything to do with the marginal buyer of stocks being put into a state of forced hibernationWill Oklahoma Fracking Induce "The Big One"?
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/15/2016 - 14:40
So far in 2016, Oklahoma has seen six quakes of magnitude-4.0 or higher, including a 5.1.
The largest earthquake ever recorded in Oklahoma was in November 2011, a
magnitude-5.7 and is believed to be the largest quake induced by fluid
injection in the U.S., and is likely one of the largest induced quakes
ever. USGS has taken notice - "The more small quakes you have, the higher the chances for a larger quake to occur."The Biggest Threat To The S&P In The Next Month: "Only Buyer Keeping This Market Alive" Stops Buying

Investors Pull Most Money From Oil Funds In Over 2 Years As Bears Return
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/15/2016 - 13:48 Amid the last two weeks of exuberant short squeeze in crude oil (and anything energy related), investors pulled over $400 million from USO (the largest oil ETF). This week's $348 million outflow is just shy of the record $354 million outflow in Dec 2013. As these outflows hit so bullish positions in oil ETFs have been dropping and bearish positions building once again.

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/15/2016 - 13:35 Last night we reported that the PBoC is now considering a Tobin tax on FX transactions. The follows reports that a series of big name money managers - or, as China calls them “predators,” and “crocodiles” - have placed outsized bets against the yuan.

This Is What Happens When A Short Squeeze Ends
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/15/2016 - 12:31 Remember last week, when China was "fixed" because after the National People's Congress a record-smashing short-squeeze hyped on the back of stimulus hope sent Iron Ore prices soaring 20% in a day? Well that's all over...

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/15/2016 - 12:20 With Valeant down nearly 50%, and Pershing Square fielding an unknown number of margin calls and redemption requests as of this moment, Bill Ackman just did the only thing he could do at this moment: send a letter to anyone who still cares, defending his disastrous investment, yet again.
Pat Buchanan: "America Has Changed From The Land We Grew Up In"
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/15/2016 - 12:05 Given their “victory” in Chicago, MoveOn.org and its allied nasties will try to replicate it, again and again. And as Americans came to despise the ’60s radicals, they will come to despise them. And, as in the 1960s, the country will take a turn - to the right.
Brazil Currency, Stocks Tumble As Former President Lula Accepts Cabinet Position
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/15/2016 - 11:45 Just last week, the BRL was riding high on news that former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva was detained in connection with money laundering. He was then charged with corruption by state prosecutors. The market hoped his arrest and possible prosecution would give momentum to the effort to impeach Rousseff. Then, in a dramatic turn of events, Rousseff invited Lula to accept a ministry post yesterday. Initially, reports indicated he would resist the idea of accepting, but that soon changed.

One Week After Trolling Zero Hedge For Being Negative, Jefferies Posts Worst Quarter Since Financial Crisis
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/15/2016 - 11:23 Moments ago Jefferies, which is still on the investment banking cycle of reporting where its earnings (and in this case, losses) arrive one month ahead of the other banks, and as such is a good bellwether into overall Wall Street revenue trends, reported an absolute disaster of a quarter, its worst since the financial crisis.

When it comes to the subject of children and firearms, there seems to be two prevailing schools of thought. One says that if you have children, all of your firearms need to be locked up and hidden away, and kids shouldn’t even be aware of your firearms until they’re old enough to respect them. The other school of thought suggests quite the opposite. Kids need to be introduced to firearms at a very early age, even if they don’t quite understand what they’re looking at. They need some familiarity with guns, so that it kills their curiosity.
It’s hard to argue with the former sometimes. Little kids don’t mix well with firearms unless they are under strict supervision. It’s not uncommon for children to stumble upon their parent’s weapons, and accidentally shoot themselves or others. Every year, over 2000 kids are accidentally injured with firearms in America, and among kids aged 10 and under, accidents account for 75% of all firearm injuries.

Friday evening’s Donald Trump rally in Chicago was broken up by a foul-mouthed mob that infiltrated the hall and forced the cancelation of the event to prevent violence and bloodshed.
Brownshirt tactics worked. The mob, triumphant, rejoiced.
And the reaction of Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz and John Kasich?
All three Republican rivals blamed — Donald Trump.
With his “dangerous style of leadership,” Trump stokes this anger, mewed Rubio, “This is what happens when a leading presidential candidate goes around feeding into a narrative of bitterness and anger and frustration.”

In 2011, Zibigniew Brzezinski lamented that the people were waking up to the tyranny that he and his fellow globalists were perpetrating upon humanity. At the time, I thought that the following Brzezinski quote was alarmist and not based on fact.
So long as the global elite controlled 95% of the media, courtesy of Bill Clinton deregulation, I did not believe that the Independent Media had any chance to wake up the slumbering masses. Collectively, the mass media produced a condition called “group think”.
In large part, the American people have been conquered through the principle of group think. Throughout history, group think has played a prominent role in coercing the public of any nation into going to war for the benefit of the elite ruling class and their financial bottom line.

Most Chechen commanders have shelf lives, not necessarily in terms of effectiveness on the battlefield but in terms of political usefulness. It seems that another one is about to find out the hard way that Chechens are only there to further objectives they don’t actually hold themselves, not become glorious martyrs able to pass unimaginable wealth on to their families.
There are few secrets about the history of Tarkhan Batirashvili, a former Georgian army soldier who was deemed unfit for service for health reasons, including TB, and booted out. However we know a lot about him because we are supposed to swallow the versions given. Invariably, these revelations are presented as some sort of mysterious knowledge which only experts would have, which others cannot therefore contradict. There is a very obvious reason why we should be encouraged to think that any “non-official” information must be wrong.

Daily Variety/Hollywood Reporter David Robb’s book discussed Hollywood’s longstanding relationship with the Pentagon. Its complicity is notorious.
It began post-WW I, producing silent films. Franklin Roosevelt’s Office of War Information had enormous influence on Hollywood.
Administration censors controlled everything from scriptwriting to casting to production. Studio bosses were well compensated for collusion.
Robb said the only thing they like better than good films are good deals. They support Washington’s war machine. Most of all they prioritize profits.

Gold detractors are both right, and terribly wrong.
It is true, gold doesn’t do a thing. It sits there, immutable and unchanging. It doesn’t generate revenue.
However, this argument against it completely, and conveniently, ignores exactly why gold is so important.
Gold is a great investment because it does nothing, while the people at the helm of the global fiat currency and economic systems manipulate everything else.

Critics have long questioned why violent intervention was necessary in Libya. Hillary Clinton’s recently published emails confirm that it was less about protecting the people from a dictator than about money, banking, and preventing African economic sovereignty.
The brief visit of then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to Libya in October 2011 was referred to by the media as a “victory lap.” “We came, we saw, he died!” she crowed in a CBS video interview on hearing of the capture and brutal murder of Libyan leader Muammar el-Qaddafi.

Europe is under sentence of death. The mass rape and murder of the indigenous population of Europe in their own homelands by the unstoppable hordes of the Third World is now perhaps inevitable. We in our ancestral homelands, clinging to what remains of our cherished heritage, need to prepare for a grim future of unparalleled sufferings.
Europe is dying, dying slowly.
There is no way Europe is going to survive the cataclysms ahead unless Europeans take drastic action, without delay, to reverse the menacing tide of mass immigration—if necessary by mass deportation of the invaders. It may one day be necessary, as has recently been suggested in a controversial French novel, to bomb the refugee ships and gun the invaders down on the beaches.

USDJPY was in full chaos mode ahead of tonight’s BOJ statement. With only 5 of 40 economists expecting further actions by Kuroda (and close Abe advisor Hamada suggesting “I think the BOJ wouldn’t take further action right now… probably it will be a wise decision,” The BoJ decide to stay put – holding rates flat at -10bps, holding QQE buying flat, and maintaining its ETF buying program at expected levels. The biggest surprise though was a language change suggesting the end of NIRP. After ‘mixed’ results following its NIRP bomb in January, perhaps it is wise to give the ‘economy’ time to absorb the craziness as Japan’s Peter-Pan-ic continues. The initial reaction was weaker Nikkei and stronger JPY.
