Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/01/2016 - 16:48 While the media goes into a frenzy every time someone is punched or maced at a Trump rally, or frankly any time Trump says anything out of place (and lately he has has had more than his fair share of supply), what according to many is the real scandal, is quietly being doused with the media obligingly looking the other way. Moments ago, AP reported that the State Department has suspended its internal review into whether former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton or her top aides mishandled emails containing information now deemed "top secret."
Exposed - How Two Janet Yellen Phone Calls Saved The World
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/01/2016 - 14:40 Thanks to the just released February diary of Fed chief Yellen, we now know exactly when she called Bank of England Governor (and former Goldman Sachs employee) Marc Carney and ECB President (and former Goldman Sachs employee) Mario Draghi. Can you guess when?
Trump's 1990 Playboy Interview: "We Are Being Laughed At Around The World..."
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/01/2016 - 22:20 While The Donald may come across as 'shooting from the hip', it appears based on this 1990 interview with Playboy that Trump has been thinking about the decline of America, the weakness and corruption of government, and the impact of foreign (Chinese, Mexican, and Japanese) trade practices on the average joe. As he says, "I don’t want to be President. I’m one hundred percent sure. I’d change my mind only if I saw this country continue to go down the tubes."
Q1 Slams Hedgies 'Most Popular Trade' - Momo Crashes Most Since 2009
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/01/2016 - 21:45 In mid-February, we warned of the looming carnage for equity market-neutral funds, and sure enough, as Bloomberg reports, one of the most popular (and successful) hedge fund trades - playing the difference between high- and low-momentum stocks - crashed by the most since 2009 in Q1. After 6 years of almost unstoppable gains, equity market-neutral funds suffered their biggest losses since 2012 - comparable to the 2007 quant crisis devastation - as weak momo stocks massively outpeformed crushing the hedgies' models.
The Next Big Problem: "Stagflation Is Starting To Show Across The Economy"
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/01/2016 - 21:10 "I think stagflation is starting to show - that idea of stronger nominal growth but weaker real growth is starting to show up across the economy. It certainly is showing up with real personal consumption slowing; it's showing with slower job creation growth as the wage rate rises, and it's showing up in weaker profits as the share of labor income rises reducing profit margins for corporations."Just A Warning From Ron Paul

Doug Casey Warns "We're Exiting The Eye Of The Giant Financial Hurricane"
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/01/2016 - 20:01 As this unfolds, your biggest risk isn’t the crashing stock market or the crashing bond market. Your biggest problem, and also the one most people just don’t see, is political. Your government is by far the most serious threat to your money and wellbeing.

Iran Moves To Take Key City From ISIS In Critical Sectarian Feud
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/01/2016 - 19:26 Last week, the Pentagon said the U.S. military had killed a man they identified as one of Islamic State’s top military officials. It didn’t give any further information, but Gen. Magsosi said the man, known as Abu Eman, was the top expert at the Mosul bomb lab. When Islamic State captured Mosul, Iraq’s second-largest city, in the summer of 2014, the university was one of the spoils. The university had a strong reputation around Iraq for its science departments, alumni say.
April "Fools" In March
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/01/2016 - 18:55 It may be almost impossible to underestimate the gullibility of professional Fed watchers. At least Lucy van Pelt needed to place an actual football on the ground to fool poor Charlie Brown. But in today’s high stakes game of Federal Reserve mind reading, the Fed doesn’t even have to make a halfway convincing bluff to make the markets look foolish.

NATO: Worse Than "Obsolete" - It's A Crony Capitalist's Dream
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/01/2016 - 18:05 NATO isn’t just an expensive luxury of the sort we can no longer afford – it is a tripwire that could be set off by a minor border conflict involving Moldova, the status of Kaliningrad, or – more likely – another round of hostilities in Ukraine. Would we start World War III in defense of the oligarchs of Kiev? I wouldn’t put it past them. With his plan – or, rather, inclination – to abandon the old NATO and replace it with some sort of multilateral counterterrorist operation, and his insistence that our “allies” pay up, Trump is forcing an issue onto the stage that hasn’t been seen since the days of Bob Taft.
New York Follows California, Will Raise Minimum Wage To $15/Hour
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/01/2016 - 17:46 "I believe that this is the best plan the state has produced in decades"...
by Justin Gardner, Activist Post:
When a divided U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of Citizens United in
2010, it reshaped the political landscape by opening the floodgates to
what is known as “dark money.” Unlimited amounts of secret cash can now
be funneled to political candidates from entities posing as nonprofit
organizations, and the public has no right to know who is buying these
elected officials.
The biggest beneficiary of the Citizens United case appears to be Hillary Clinton, which is ironic considering that the subject of that case was a film critical of Clinton. She has long been a soldier for corporate interests, from propelling Wal-Mart to enormous proportions during the 1990s to advancing the interests of the military-industrial complex and Big Pharma.

The Path To The Final Crisis
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/01/2016 - 17:15 We cannot be sure what shape the next crisis will take, although it seems likely that it will be yet another “deflation scare”, mainly caused by falling asset prices. However, we do know what the last crisis of the current system will look like. It will entail a crumbling of the public’s faith in fiat money and the institutions that issue and administer it.

A
historian has published a new article revealing that the Associated
Press news agency cooperated with Hitler’s Nazi regime during the 1930s,
allowing the Nazi propaganda ministry to select material for
publication.
Hitler’s Nazi party came to power in 1933 in Germany and quickly worked to limit and ban press that painted the party in an unfavorable light. Many national and international media outlets were forced to close after coming under attack from Nazi sympathizers. The Associated Press would be the only Western news agency open in Hitler’s Third Reich, until the U.S. officially entered the war in 1941. During that time period, the AP was the only source for information related to Hitler’s brutal genocide.
Historian Harriet Scharnberg has published an article in the academic journal Studies in Contemporary History, stating that AP was only able to maintain access by entering into a “mutually beneficial” agreement with the Nazi regime. The AP agreed to sign up to the so-called Schriftleitergesetz (editor’s law), promising not to publish any material “calculated to weaken the strength of the Reich abroad or at home.” The Guardian reported:

Residents of Southern California recently experienced what the press dubbed “officially the worst gas leak in history,” but not an honest tale of how this is affecting residents can be found – unless you dig much deeper than the mainstream media.
A well blowout at the Aliso Canyon underground storage facility owned by the Southern California Gas Co. emitted close to 100,000 metric tons of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, into Porter Ranch and the surrounding area early this year. Residents were evacuated from the site, but after returning home just a few months after the disaster following SoCalGas’s go-ahead, hazardous chemicals released in the spill, like benzene, are having their way with people’s health.

Yellen Says Caution in Raising Rates Is ‘Especially Warranted’ …
Fed Chair makes case for go-slow changes with rate near zero … Janet
Yellen said it is appropriate for U.S. central bankers to “proceed
cautiously” in raising interest rates because the global economy
presents heightened risks. The speech to the Economic Club of New York
made a strong case for running the economy hot to push away from the
zero boundary for the Federal Open Market Committee’s target rate.
–Bloomberg
Janet Yellen was back at it yesterday, talking down the need for a rate hike.
She is comfortable with the economy running “hot.”

GOP candidate Ted Cruz took the ongoing rivalry between himself and
Donald Trump to new levels last night by ‘joking’ that he’d be tempted
to seriously injure or kill Trump if he had the chance. Appearing on
“Jimmy Kimmel Live,” the Texas senator was asked to reveal whom he
disliked the most, Obama or Trump.
“I dislike Obama’s policies more. Donald is a unique individual,” Cruz replied. “If I were in my car and getting ready to reverse and saw Donald in the backup camera, I’m not confident which pedal I’d push.” Cruz added.
Really classy.
