Why US Government And Saudi Arabia Don't Want Americans Knowing The Truth About 9/11

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/22/2016 - 20:50 In a rare show of bipartisanship, President Obama and top Republicans in Congress have come together to shield Americans from knowing the truth about who was behind the 9/11 terror attacks, which took the lives of 2996 people in 2001. However strange it is for neoconservative members of Congress to agree with Obama on anything, there is no doubt the issue must be serious if it warrants this level of partnership.

Valued At $16 It Sold For $68 Million "In 7200 Seconds" - The Inside Story Of Vancouver's Wildest Property Deal

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/22/2016 - 20:15 "The property is worth, what, C$20 million, and somebody pays C$60million? One wonders what’s going on. Is this New York? Is this Hong Kong?"

Is Silver Really “Poised to Catch Up To Gold” As Economic Crisis Looms?

by Mac Slavo, SHTFPlan:

Editor’s Comment: As the economy tilts towards outright instability, silver and gold (among other precious metals) are worthwhile items to have. So it is no wonder that the price of silver is at a highpoint right now.
Anyone paying attention has to be wondering how much long the paper dollars in hand – or worse, inside a bank and beyond the reach of the ATM – will be worth much of anything at all. Is a tipping point coming?
In recent months a lot of attention has been given to gold. After a decade long rally that saw its price rise above $1,800 per ounce, gold has disappointing investors after floundering for the past 3 years.

Swedish Muslim Politician Quits After Refusing To Shake Women's Hands

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/22/2016 - 21:25 As if Sweden wasn't troubled enough, The Local reports that another Green Party politician, who ignited a storm of controversy after refusing to shake hands with a female reporter on grounds that it violated his Muslim faith, announced on Wednesday that he was quitting politics. This follows the resignation of Sweden's housing minister following a week of mounting controversy over his contacts with Islamic organisations and Turkish ultranationalists.

Depression, Debasement, & 100 Years Of Monetary Mismanagement

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/22/2016 - 20:00 There must be some dark corner of Hell warming up for modern, mainstream economists. They helped bring on the worst bubble ever... with their theories of efficient markets and modern portfolio management. They failed to see it for what it was. Then, when trouble came, they made it worse. But instead of atoning in a dank cell, these same economists strut onto the stage to congratulate themselves.

Gundlach Predicts "Trump Will Win", Says "The Federal Reserve Has Basically Given Up"

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/22/2016 - 19:22 "The US stock market seems egregiously overvalued versus other stock markets... you are going to see declines in the US stock market and since the correlations are so high this means that probably the junk bond market will go back down, too. Negative interest rates are the dumbest idea ever. It’s horrible.... Gold is doing fine. It’s preserving capital in the US, it’s been making money over the last couple of years for European investors. That’s why I own gold.... Trump is going to win. I think Clinton and Sanders are both very poor candidates."

Albert Edwards Finally Blows Up: "I'm Not Really Sure How Much More Of This I Can Take"

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/22/2016 - 19:17 "I'm not really sure how much more of this I can take. So here we are 5, 6 or is it now 7 years into this economic recovery and it still remains pathetically weak. And so it should in the wake of one of the biggest private sector credit bubbles in history. The de-leveraging hangover was always going to be massive and so it is. Quick-fix monetary QE nonsense has made virtually no difference to the economic recoveries other than to inflate asset prices, make the rich richer, inequality worse and make Joe and Joanna Sixpack want to scream in rage."

"A Scramble For Gold Has Begun"

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/22/2016 - 19:00 For a century, elites have worked to eliminate monetary gold, both physically and ideologically, and yet, like Banquo’s ghost, gold insists on its seat at the monetary table. After decades as net sellers of gold, central banks became net buyers in 2010. A scramble for gold has begun... When it comes to monetary elites, watch what they do, not what they say.

Why Has An "Apolitical" Fed Governor Donated To Hillary Four Times?

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/22/2016 - 18:30 It is one thing to note the obvious, it is different to have proof that Fed members have a clear ideological bias. Thanks to recent Fed appointee Lael Brainard, we have just that. The recent Treasury staffer and close friend of the Clintons fourth donation since November brings her total contributions to Hillary Clinton during this election campaign to $2,700, the limit for individual candidate donations in the cycle. Do not worry though, as Fed Chair Janet Yellen said in March that legal donations from central bank employees don’t undermine the Fed’s standing as a non-partisan agency.

Weather Channel Founder Slams Global Warming: "The Theory Has Failed"

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/22/2016 - 17:40 "As a skeptic of man-made global warming, I love our environment as much as anyone. I share the deepest commitment to protecting our planet for our children and grandchildren. However, I desperately want to get politics out of the climate debate. The Paris climate agreement is all about empowering the U.N. and has nothing to do with the climate."

The SPV Loophole: Draghi Just Unleashed "QE For The Entire World"... And May Have Bailed Out US Shale

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/22/2016 - 17:38 "The ECB stands ready to buy bonds from Euro Area issuers even when their parent companies are outside of the bloc. Already we can find a number of US, UK and Swiss headquartered names that issue out of SPVs incorporated in the Euro Area. If this trend to SPV issuance catches on, then the ECB’s policies will likely be very reflationary for all credit markets across the globe, and because of a likely refinancing wave – equity markets too."

Halliburton Fires One Third Of Global Staff: "What We Are Experiencing Today Is Unsustainable"

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/22/2016 - 17:25 In a brutally frank and painfully honest first quarter operational update, Halliburton president Jeff Miller poured freezing cold water all over the "oil is stabilizing, and everything is going to be awesome" narrative. After explaining that the firm has laid off one-third of its global employees, and pointing to the collapse in sequential revenues across every business unit, Miller exclaimed: "What we are experiencing today is far beyond headwinds; it is unsustainable."

The Volkswagen Car "Buy Back" Just Unleashed Havoc On The U.S. Car Market

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/22/2016 - 17:12 Offering hundreds of thousands of buyers a chance to sell back their old VW or end their lease early (in lieu of fixing the car) will almost certainly flood the used-car market that is already on pace to hit record inventory levels in 2016.

The Stunning Chart Showing Where All The Commodity Gains Have Come From

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/22/2016 - 16:50 "The market is moving so quickly, yesterday felt just like the stock market in June last year before the crash," warns one Asian trader reflecting on the chaotic rush of Chinese speculators into the industrial metals commodities market Echoing the frenzy that fueled China's parabolic stock market rise (and subsequent collapse), Bloomberg notes one local China broker admits "we’ve seen a lot of people opening accounts for commodities futures recently," adding rather ominously, "the great ball of China money is moving away from bonds and stocks to commodities." The spikes in everything from rebar to iron ore, however, according to Goldman "is not driven by a sustainable shift in fundamentals."

Monsanto’s Next Weedkiller Uses RNA and It’s Far Worse Than RoundUp

by Christina Sarich, Underground Reporter:
The main ingredient in Monsanto’s best-selling herbicide, glyphosate, has already been named the most-used herbicide in history — and the company hopes you will continue to focus on the nefarious ramifications of a two-decades-long spraying spree with this carcinogenic chemical concoction while its patents on ‘RoundUp Ready’ seeds expire.
While you and I are obsessed with glyphosate, Monsanto is turning to other genetically-modified atrocities — like RNA pesticides.

Beware the Bull: Equity Boom Has No Basis in Economic Fundamentals

from The Daily Bell:
For bull, no death throes … On Feb. 11, the day that the S&P 500 hit its correction low point, the financial press was filled with commentary from Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen backing away from the possibility of four rate hikes in 2016 . The stock market has recovered nicely from the paroxysm of selling that occurred earlier this year, and in 10 days this will become the second longest-running bull market in U.S. history. –Dallas News
A little more than a week ago, we asked, “Could the stock market move up hard in these upcoming months?”
Well, we seem to have part of our answer, as seen by this mainstream editorial in the Dallas News (see above).

More DEVIOUS “FREE TRADE” Propaganda

by Jeff Nielson, Bullion Bulls:

There was some subtle propaganda on display from the Corporate media this morning, which I think is worth reviewing, for a few reasons. First there is the content itself. We have a piece of propaganda which pretends to be “examining” the issue of Globalization (aka Corporate Slavery) while it is actually promoting mainstream propaganda.
This brings me to the second reason for featuring this propaganda as a topic for analysis: to educate readers on more-subtle forms of propaganda. Read through this brainwashing exercise, and you get the following summary.
A Concerned Citizen voices his dismay and opposition toward Globalization. Some manufactured “authority figure” (i.e. some corporation-friendly mouthpiece) then “explains”, in a patronizing manner, why the Concerned Citizen is in error. Supposedly, he isn’t looking at the Big Picture. Read More
