Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/15/2016 - 16:57 The history of the last couple of thousand years has been broadly repeated attempts by various people or institutions – in a Freudian way – to rediscover the lost childhood of Europe, this golden age of peace and prosperity under the Romans, by trying to unify it. Napoleon, Hitler, various people tried this out, and it ends tragically."

IceCap Asset Management: "The Trend Continues"
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/15/2016 - 17:58 "As we continue to search the world for changes in trend, we must objectively report that there have been no changes to trends in economic growth. Around the world, growth continues to GRIND lower. Countries that were once high fliers, have now become low fliers. Countries that were once Steady-Eddies, have now become Wobbly Willies. And Countries that were once Nervous-Nancies have become Panicking Patty’s."
Barbara Boxer Meltdown Exposes Deep Divisions In Democratic Party
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/15/2016 - 14:56 "Let's hear it for Hillary Clinton," exclaimed Sen. Barbara Boxer, losing her cool after Bernie Sanders' supporters "bullied" her at the Nevada Democratic convention on Saturday. As BizPacreview reports, Boxer took the Las Vegas stage to raucous boos as her attempt to unify what is obviously as deeply divided a Democratic party as the mainstream would have everyone believe the Republican party is. "I'm for Hillary Clinton and she's for all of us,” she yelled. "Keep on booing and boo yourselves out of this election."
Waves Not Solid Cycles - Echoes Of 2008 Warrant Worries
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/15/2016 - 17:30 The current rash of cautious ignorant optimism is so very reminiscent of the period right after Bear Stearns in 2008. Ben Bernanke as late as June 2008: "The risk that the economy has entered a substantial downturn appears to have diminished over the past month or so." Janet Yellen said, “the strong incoming data on spending eased my fears that we are in or are approaching a recession regime” before expressing confidence in rate hikes starting in December 2008! The mainstream takes the absence of further liquidation as if there will be no more liquidations when in fact the likelihood of more of them only rises the more they are artificially “contained.”
The Tinaco-Anaco Railway Line: A Look At How China Overextended In A Failed Venezuela
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/15/2016 - 16:45 The Tinaco-Anaco Railway, a $7.5 billion project that was supposed to have a consortium of Chinese companies display to the world their engineering and construction capabilities. A glorious 300 mile long railway was to be built in Venezuela, moving 5 million passengers and 9.8 million metric tons of cargo a year, at speeds of up to 135mph. Today, however, the project is dormant. All that ended up on display, however, is simply a broken down arch that is at the entrance of the railroad workers complex. A symbol of both a failed Venezuelan state, and a carefree China lending program.
Election 2016: Alien Vs Predator
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/15/2016 - 16:30 "To those who abandon the Republican Party in this hour of crisis, I say: Good riddance! Go now, and never come back. Your bad advice and dogmatic arrogance brought America from a lone pinnacle of greatness in 2001 to second-rate status in 2016, the fastest decline of a dominant power since Napoleon invaded Russia. Go pester the Democrats, and do as much damage to them as you did to us Republicans... There's a war on... three different wars, in fact. To remain neutral is moral cowardice; to choose the wrong side would be downright wicked."
What's Next For Apple And The S&P: This Is What The Charts Say
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/15/2016 - 15:58 Now that everyone is suddenly turning bearish, especially recent cheerleader Goldman warning of a "big drop" in the days ahead (not to mention Gartman) and chartists seeing sharp downside (not just BofA but UBS recently as well), expect another major round of substantial jawboning from central bankers who can not afford a downward inflection point in the market at this point, especially now that China's record loan growth has suddenly ground to a halt.Scenes From The Venezuela Apocalypse: "Countless Wounded" After 5,000 Loot Supermarket Looking For Food

After An Abysmal First Quarter, Second Quarter Earnings Expectations Are Already Tumbling
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/15/2016 - 14:54 Q1 earnings marked the first time the index has seen four consecutive quarters of year-over-year declines in EPS since Q4 2008 through Q3 2009. It also marked the largest year-over-year decline in earnings since Q3 2009 (-15.7%). More troubling is that Q2 appears set for more of the same: the estimated decline for Q2 2016 is -4.6%, compared to "only" a 2.8% drop as of March 31, while for revenues, the estimated decline for Q2 2016 is -1.3%, a doubling in the -0.6% deterioration forecastjust 45 days ago.

Here We Go Again: Yet Another U.S. Spy Plane Brushes Russian Border

Reporter
and political prisoner Pete Santilli of The Pete Santilli Show dropped a
bombshell from jail earlier this week. He claims that the information
below, once it comes out in the open in court, will have the US
government in a panic.In a recorded statement by Deb Jordan, Pete’s co-host, Santilli said that the information comes from the congressional record 1866.
“The dirt at Bundy Ranch is in Clark County,” Santilli began. “Clark County has always been a part of the State of Nevada and is not federal land in any way shape or form, period.”

The people behind the scenes of today’s world crises could not have
succeeded in reshaping so many nations without help. Creating a robotic
billionaire monster like George Soros, and unleashing him on the former
Soviet republics, it could never have led to so much turmoil. There have
to be more adjutants, armies of them in fact, in order to reshape the
world’s image. Today I will focus on Swedish politician, Carl Bildt is
but one of a brigade of “pliable” lieutenants in the new world order
scheme of things. By the end of this report the reader will better
understand why so many fear Hillary Clinton, and why many in the UK
desire an exit from the EU.
Carl Bildt’s Wikipedia page says he is “notable internationally, as a mediator of the Yugoslav Wars”. But I think the Wikipedia editors should amend the word “notable”, and replace it with “notorious”. Maybe I will do that myself, after writing this report. Bildt, who was instrumental in helping slice up Yugoslavia into management chunks, took part in something known as the Dayton Peace Agreement, where the ground rules for so-called peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The former Swedish Prime Minister later served as the United Nations Secretary-General’s Special Envoy for the Balkans, the perfect position for sewing up the former Yugoslavia into a tight little bundle of mini-states beholding to the US, Britain, and NATO. The effect these henchmen have in our world can best be seen in this paragraph from the DC World Affairs blog on the fate of Bosnia after Bilt and Dayton:

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro declared a 60-day state of
emergency on Friday due to what he called plots from within the OPEC
country and the United States to topple his leftist government.
Maduro did not provide details of the measure. A previous state of emergency, implemented in states near the Colombian border last year, suspended constitutional guarantees in those areas, except for guarantees relating to human rights.
Earlier on Friday, U.S. intelligence officials told reporters they were increasingly worried about the potential for an economic and political meltdown in Venezuela and predicted Maduro was not likely to complete his term.
Venezuela’s opposition is seeking to recall the unpopular leader, 53, amid a worsening crisis that includes food and medicine shortages, frequent power cuts, sporadic looting and galloping inflation.

Yesterday, it was announced that the US had finally deployed its long
awaited ‘missile defence shield’ in Europe with the first installation
in Romania.
21WIRE determined that this would trigger a new global arms race between the US and Russia, and not ever 24 hours later we have, unfortunately, been proven correct.
Speaking on the worrying development, Russia’s President Vladimir Putin had this to say:
“Recent developments indicate that the situation isn’t getting better. Unfortunately, it’s deteriorating.”

Ever since the late Margaret Mead organized a conference in 1975 to
deliberately propagate an unscientific fear campaign, fraudulently
claiming that manmade emissions of CO2 gases were endangering the global
climate, the UN, countless NGOs and many governments have spent
billions of dollars trying to find ways to reduce CO2 “man-made”
emissions. In those days it was known as Global Warming until measured
temperatures began falling, whereupon when the sponsors of the colossal
scientific fraud changed the name to Climate Change. The campaign has
largely failed, fortunately for the future of life on the planet. One
indication of a return to scientific honesty is a study just published
by Washington’s NASA on the effects of CO2 across the planet since the

Negative-Interest-Rate absurdity is another “rabbit out of the hat.”
For the second time this year, Spain’s caretaker government just managed to sell 50-year bonds in a €3 billion ($3.4 billion) deal. Despite maturing in the year 2066, when many of us won’t even be alive and the duty to pay back the debt (assuming it still exists) will have been handed down to our children’s children, the bonds will pay an annual interest rate of just 3.45%. Not only that, but the issuance was over-subscribed by €7 billion.
This is a mind-blowing turn-up for a country that just four years ago needed an unprecedented bailout from the Troika to save its saving banks and avert total financial collapse. It is also a resounding testament to the power of central bank policy to turn economic reality on its head.

Government
is using the environment and the issue of gun control to turn patriots
into terrorists in the minds of the unwashed masses. And for some, it is
working.
As the government reports a major increase in job growth over the last quarter, its ironic that a percentage of that growth is due to the increase in gun sales that resulted from the administrations push for gun control. At this point, the American people understand that gun control is not about gun safety: it is about control, period. Honestly, the gun control debate can be used to sum up the exact differences between the left and right wing worldviews. Those on the left generally believe we are too stupid to govern our own affairs, and an intellectual elite is needed to dictate how we live our lives. The right, on the other hand, believes in principles like individual liberty and personal responsibility and that people are best off when left to self-govern. What most people fail to understand is that the left has been mastering the manipulation of human behavior for the past century, and most of our reactions, whether we like to admit it or not, are the result of purposefully fed stimulus designed to force us to react in a way that pushes us towards the desired end of total control.
