Things Are Thriving In The "Modern Hooker Economy"

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/30/2016 - 18:30 Last year we exposed the growing trend among thousands of British students who were funding their college experience through "Sugar Daddy" websites, where "arrangements" were made to allow students to pay off student loans and other living expenses. It turns out that US students are now following this crafty debt repayment plan in the new "modern hooker economy."

Mizuho CEO Warns Japan Sales Tax Delay Is "Admission Abenomics Has Failed"

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/30/2016 - 21:27 Yasuhiro Sato, president of Mizuho, Japan's second-largest bank by assets, said Abe's framing of the sales tax delay would determine whether it sparked concerns about the government's credibility regarding its plans for fiscal consolidation. "The worst scenario is [the government] will just announce a delay in the tax increase.  That could send a message that Abenomics has failed or Japan is heading for a fiscal danger zone and then it will harm Japanese government bonds' credit ratings." 

"Crooked" Hillary & The Coming Convention Coups

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/30/2016 - 18:00 That was the week Hillary began to look like the candidate who fell off a truck wearing a Nixon mask. Email-gate is taking on the odor of Watergate — the main ingredient of which was not the dopey crime itself but the stonewalling around it. Hillary is a horse that ain’t gonna finish. The Democrats better be prepared to haul Uncle Joe out of the closet, fluff up his transplanted hair, wax his dentures, give him a few Vitamin B-12 shots, and stick a harpoon in his fist for the autumn run against the White Whale (if Trump is actually nominated).
 

Do "Targeted" US Killings Of Militant Leaders Work? Not So Much

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/30/2016 - 21:27 The key question around the US killings of militant leaders is do they even work? This is something the Wall Street Journal also pondered in a recent piece on just how effective US strikes on leaders of militant groups are in the long run. On one hand, it does appear as though the killing of Osama bin Laden has hurt Al Qaeda; on the other, the killing of Mansour may not have much of an impact at all on the Taliban.

Hey Democrats: A Vote For Hillary Clinton Is Actually A Vote For Donald Trump

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/30/2016 - 21:00 With California finally mattering in an election season, it might be the final state primary before the Democratic race for president is set in stone. Regardless, recent developments have made one thing astoundingly clear: Donald Trump will almost surely defeat Hillary Clinton in a head to head matchup - and that’s why a vote for Hillary Clinton is a vote for Donald Trump.

Thanks to Yellen, Gold Will Bounce Back

from The Daily Bell:
Speculative traders abandon gold in latest week … Gold prices fell Monday, moving in the opposite direction of the U.S. dollar, which soared after comments by Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen last week indicated an interest-rate hike could come this summer. –MarketWatch
Today, gold prices have been clinging to around $1,200 against the dollar. It is becoming increasingly obvious that the Federal Reserve has two goals.
One is to keep the dollar strong against gold and the other is ensure that the world’s quasi-depression continues.
Yellen doesn’t say so, but this will be the result of her actions.

Brazil's New Anti-Corruption Minister Quits After Leak Exposes His Involvement In Corruption Scandal

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/30/2016 - 20:46 Things for the new, just as corrupt as his predecessor president, Michel Temer got particularly awkward, not to mention painfully ironic, when none other than Brazil's Transparency and Anti-Corruption Minister, Fabiano Silveira resigned on Monday after leaked recordings suggested he tried to derail a sprawling corruption probe, the latest cabinet casualty impacting interim President Michel Temer's administration.

Here We Go Again: Wells Fargo Is Trying To Give Mortgages To Low-Income, Debt-Heavy Millennials Living At Home

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/30/2016 - 20:30 Just last week we reported that a desperate to boost lending Wells Fargo was reintroducing 3% down mortgages on its own, without going through the FHA. Now we have direct confirmation that indeed Wells Fargo is desperate, and the plan to boost mortgage lending is to... drum roll... lure millennials out of the comfort of their parents home and into a house of their own. The fact that millennials don't make much money and are drowning in debt apparently doesn't bother Franklin Codel, head of home lending for the bank.

How To Legally Scam The Welfare System

Emperor Securities Shows How To Successfully Fleece Retail Investors

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/30/2016 - 19:30 From April 2015 through May 2016, every single one of the 173 stocks that Emperor analysts covered had a buy recommendation. The analysts were so wrong that shorting every one would have yielded 13 percent through last week. As we reported last year, Chinese retail investors opened enough brokerage accounts for every man, woman, and child in LA. As it turns out, that's precisely how Emperor was making its money, by securities turnover and margin loans due to an influx of new retail customers. The firm threw day trade buy recommendations out on every single stock and watched new inexperienced "investors" trade on that data. That effort takes Wall Street's lazy clustering to an entirely new level.

Electronic Voting Machines & Why Voters Should Be Suspicious Of Every Election

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/30/2016 - 19:00 Long an 'exporter of democracy' to the rest of the world, there is ample evidence that the United States lacks even the most rudimentary, basic protections necessary to preserve voting integrity within its own borders. Some of the evidence is circumstantial, some is statistical, and some is pretty direct and clear-cut. Taken together, a pattern that emerges strongly suggesting that ever since electronic voting machines were introduced in the United States, we’ve had a string of suspect election results that frankly are not consistent with a free and fair voting outcome.

"Bill Clinton Was Here": The Elite One-Percent’s 'Orgy Island' Exposed

Trickle-Down Crash? Trophy Assets Suddenly Tanking

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/30/2016 - 18:12 One of the defining traits of the past few years’ “recovery” has been the torrent of money flowing from big banks to favored clients, and from there into trophy properties like high-end real estate, superyachts, and fine art. This might be the first financial bubble to completely bypass the 99%. And now it’s ending...

Doctors Name MONSANTO Larvicide As Cause of Brazilian Microcephaly Outbreak

from Dahboo7:
The increase in this birth defect, in which the baby is born with an abnormally small head and often has brain damage, was quickly linked to the Zika virus by the Brazilian Ministry of Health. However, according to the Physicians in the Crop-Sprayed Towns, the Ministry failed to recognise that in the area where most sick people live, a chemical larvicide that produces malformations in mosquitoes was introduced into the drinking water supply in 2014. This poison, Pyriproxyfen, is used in a State-controlled programme aimed at eradicating disease-carrying mosquitoes.

PRESERVE YOUR WEALTH: Rich Eating Well in Venezuela, Basque Executive Shows

from Telesur:
To prove his relatives in Spain wrong, Otxotorena published a series of photographs of fully-stocked markets in upper class neighborhoods in Caracas.
Agustin Otxotorena, a Basque executive living in Caracas, grew tired of constant calls from friends and relatives in Spain telling him that there was no food in Venezuela, so on May 20 he began publishing photos on Facebook of supermarkets in upscale sectors of Caracas filled with goods.
In addition to showing evidence of plenty of food stuffs, Otxotorena also analyzed the situation. He concluded that there are two countries in Venezuela—one where “there are many people having a hard time, who don’t have the money to live,” and another where there is “an upper class that has a living standard higher than Europe.”

CDC forced to reveal documents proving Thimerosal vaccine preservative causes autism

by Mike Adams, Natural News:

Factually speaking, the CDC is a malicious, criminally-run anti-science quackery front group for the vaccine industry. As part of its criminal activity, it has long insisted that the vaccine preservative thimerosal is not tied to autism. But once-secret documents, now forced to be revealed by the CDC, prove the agency knew that thimerosal causes autism but deliberately hid that evidence from the public in exactly the same way the EPA hid the truth about lead poisoning of the public water supply in Flint, Michigan.
“A vaccine industry watchdog has now obtained CDC documents that show statistically significant risks of autism associated with the vaccine preservative,” reports Health Advice, which also reports:

June 7: FEMA Will Hold A Drill To Prepare For A 9.0 Cascadia Subduction Zone Earthquake And Tsunami

by Michael Snyder, End Of The American Dream:
Starting on June 7th, FEMA will be conducting a large scale drill that has been named “Cascadia Rising” that will simulate the effects of a magnitude 9.0 earthquake along the Cascadia Subduction Zone and an accompanying west coast tsunami dozens of feet tall. According to the official flyer for the event, more than “50 counties, plus major cities, tribal nations, state and federal agencies, private sector businesses, and non-governmental organizations across three states – Washington, Oregon, and Idaho – will be participating”. In addition to “Cascadia Rising”, U.S. Northern Command will be holding five other exercises simultaneously. According to the final draft of the Cascadia Rising drill plan, those five exercises are entitled “Ardent Sentry 2016″, “Vigilant Guard”, “Special Focus Exercise”, “Turbo Challenge” and “Joint Logistics Over-The-Shore”. The primary scenario that of all of these participants will be focusing on will be one that involves a magnitude 9.0 earthquake along the Cascadia Subduction Zone followed by a giant tsunami that could displace up to a million people from northern California to southern Canada.

Roundup Weedkiller Found In 75% of Air And Rain Samples, Gov. Study Finds

by Sayer Ji, The Sleuth Journal:
The GM farming system has made exposure to Roundup herbicide a daily fact of our existence, and according to the latest US Geological Survey study its probably in the air you are breathing…
A new study from the U.S. Geological Survey, accepted for publication online ahead of print in the journal Enviromental Toxicology and Chemistry, titled, “Pesticides in Mississippi air and rain: A comparison between 1995 and 2007,”[i] reveals that Roundup herbicide (aka glyphosate) and its still-toxic degradation byproduct AMPA were found in over 75% of the air and rain samples tested from Mississippi in 2007.
The researchers evaluated a wide range of pesticides currently being used through weekly composite air and rain sampling collected during the 1995 and 2007 growing seasons in the Mississippi Delta agricultural region.

BITCOIN SKYROCKETS AND IS NOW UP MORE THAN 100% THIS JUBILEE YEAR

by Jeff Berwick, The Dollar Vigilante:
Bitcoin has risen more than 25% in the last week, from near $430 to a high over $545 today. In that time, it has been pronounced dead at least once and is now at a 20-month high. We gave these three main reasons in the last year for why we thought it would go much higher:
1. Bitcoin and Blockchain are the Future of Money and Banking
Still to this day most other financial analysts either ignore bitcoin or, even stupider, deride it as being some sort of scam or ponzi scheme.
The dollar and government “services” like Social Security are scams and ponzi schemes… but bitcoin clearly is not. It is open source and so anyone who cares to look can see there is nothing nefarious about it. Therefore, anyone who says it is a scam or ponzi scheme is just showing willful ignorance as they could very easily look at it themselves and see it is not.

France’s Google HQ Raid Reaps “Years” of Evidence

from TRU News:
Analysis of data seized by investigators in last week’s raid of Google’s Paris headquarters could possibly take years, French financial prosecutor Eliane Houlette said on Sunday.
Dozens of French police raided Google’s offices on Tuesday, escalating an investigation over suspected tax evasion. “We have collected a lot of computer data,” Houlette said in an interview with Europe 1 radio, TV channel iTele and newspaper Le Monde, adding that 96 people took part in the raid.
“We need to analyze (the data) … (it will take) months, I hope that it won’t be several years, but we are very limited in resources”.

The Endless Dodge - Why Washington Doesn't Come Clean On The Downing Of MH-17

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/30/2016 - 22:30 "The objective, quite simply, was to heap as much abuse on the Soviet Union as possible... The American media swallowed the U.S. government line without reservation... The perception we wanted to convey was that the Soviet Union had cold-bloodedly carried out a barbaric act... The moral of the story is that all governments, including our own, lie when it suits their purposes. The key is to lie first."
