The Washington Post's Modest Proposal To "Fix Democracy": Root Out "Ignorant American Voters"
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/22/2016 - 12:25 "Unfortunately, we can’t trust you... Never have so many people with so little knowledge made so many consequential decisions for the rest of us.... If you have no clue what the hell is going on, you also have a civic duty to avoid subjecting the rest of us to your ignorance."
For First Time Since World War II, "Right-Wing, Anti-Immigrant, Euroskeptic" Set To Become President Of Austria
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/22/2016 - 11:49 One month ago, pro-European voices in Austria, and all of Europe, were suddenly muted when in the first round of the Austrian presidential election, Norbert Hofer head of Austria Freedom Party (FPO), described as a "Euroskeptic, right-wing, anti-immigrant party" crushed his opposition buoyed by a migration crisis that has heightened fears about employment and security across the continent, and gathered a whopping 35% of the vote leaving the other five legacy candidates far behind. Today, Austria holds the decisive, run-off round between Norbert Hofer and former Greens leader Alexander van der Bellen, which according to preliminary opinions polls was set to be a close vote... although probably not that close.
Why The 'Flyover States' Are Hurting - Bubble Finance Is Strictly For The Bicoastal Elites
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/22/2016 - 11:09 The broadest measure of the stock market has risen by 125% since 1999. The real median family income has fallen by 7%. Stated differently, the bicoastal elites who own most of the nation’s financial assets or who feed off the financial system and a debt-swollen central state in Washington, believe themselves to be in the pink of prosperity. They do not understand, of course, that this is all a giant bubble which at length will burst in spectacular fashion, causing their own unearned windfalls to shrink in the process. In the meanwhile, they may come to understand that the flyover zone of America has been left behind. The main street insurgency fueling Donald Trump’s shocking rise to the top of the Presidential race proves that much in spades.
Democratic Party Warns Sanders Supporters May "Instigate Actual Violence" At Convention
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/22/2016 - 10:45 While Hillary continues to remind everyone that her nomination is a "done deal", supporters of Bernie Sanders refuse to go quietly into the night. Bernie's supporters put so much pressure on establishment Senator Barbara Boxer that she suffered an unfortunate meltdown in Nevada recently; they plan to do the same at the Democratic National Convention in July as well. As a result, the Nevada State Democratic Party has warned that the demonstrations may be used to instigate "actual violence.""I Am Not Your Experiment" - Thousands Around The World Protest GMO Giant Monsanto

WWIII? A "Hybrid Geo-Financial War" Between NATO and Russia Is Dangerously Escalating
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/21/2016 - 22:00 These waxing and waning empires are dangerous as their vulnerabilities and short-comings become exposed, and their territories challenged. That fact that Putin is being prodded from within Russia to be less diplomatic and more aggressive in posturing for war is downright unsettling. Many of our most dangerous American leaders are all-too willing to poke the bear and evoke a reaction.
Visualizing 200 Years Of US Immigration
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/21/2016 - 21:30 While the common narrative is now that Donald Trump is dividing the United States along racial lines, it would appear that 200 years of widespread immigration (some more integrative and some less) - as the following stunning animated graphic shows - the proverbial melting pot, after 8 years of an African-American president, during which black inequality has worsened dramatically, is boiling over by its own volition.
"Government Ain't Fixable But It Will Correct!"
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/21/2016 - 21:00 Government as we know it is doomed. It will not recognize this reality until markets and/or citizens force it. This time is likely close and the process will not be painless. The more government ignores what is inevitable the greater the pain will be. One hopes that civilization does not enter an economic and anarchical Dark Ages. To the extent that government refuses to respond to the fantasy world they have created, the more likely that is to be the outcome.

Taliban Leader Mansour Killed In US Drone Strike Inside Pakistan
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/21/2016 - 20:33 The United States conducted a drone strike on Saturday against the leader of Afghan Taliban, Mullah Akhtar Mansour, likely killing him on the Pakistan side of the remote border region with Afghanistan in a mission authorized by U.S. President Barack Obama. The assassination could further fracture the Taliban - an outcome that experts cautioned might make the insurgents even less likely to participate in long-stalled peace efforts. Alternatively, it could lead to far more violent and deadly retaliation against the US both in Afghanistan and around the world.
Fitch notes that the banking sectors in Ireland, Malta, Luxembourg, Spain, France and Germany have important links with the UK.(The Real Agenda News) The Credit rating agency Fitch has warned that the departure of the United Kingdom from the European Union (EU) could precipitate the departure of Scotland from the UK, which in turn could intensify “secessionist pressures” in other parts of the EU, such as Catalonia in Spain.
“The ‘Brexit’ would create a precedent for countries emerging from the EU” says Fitch, who believes that this could push for an “antiEU” movement and the birth of other populist political parties,” warned Fitch.

This is simply priceless.
The Hill reports:
A federal judge in Texas on Thursday tore into Justice Department lawyers who argued the immigration case involving the Obama administration, ordering them to take ethics classes.
In a blistering court order, U.S. District Court Just Andrew S. Hanen said he was “disappointed” about having to address the subject of lawyer behavior, calling it “at best, a distraction.”
Hanen said any Department of Justice attorney who wants to argue in a state or federal court in any of the 26 states involved in the immigration case must take an annual three-hour ethics course for the next five years.
“Clearly, there seems to be a lack of knowledge about or adherence to the duties of professional responsibility in the halls of the Justice Department,” Hanen wrote in his 28-page order, which quoted the films “Bridge of Spies” and “Miracle on 34th Street.”

Is the Army Preparing for a Major Deployment: Orders 177,000 Bulletproof Armor Plates
Traditionally, the best way to keep track of future military deployments – absent unexpected events, of course – has been to follow key procurement contracts from the U.S. Department of Defense of mission critical offensive wartime equipment such as weapons and ammo, or, less followed, core defensive components such as kevlar, body armor and other forms of core personal protective gear. These usually take place shortly prior to major “events” involving US armed forces.
Which is why we were surprised to learn that earlier today, the US Department of Defense revealed it had placed a $93 million order for 177,000 ballistic body armor plates from the US military’s traditional supplier of protective equipment, Ceradyne which several years ago was purchased by 3M. Both production and delivery are expected to be concluded over the next several months.

China,
as current chair of the G-20 group of nations, called on France to
organize a very special conference in Paris. The fact such a conference
would even take place in an OECD country is a sign of how weakened the
hegemony of the US-dominated Dollar System has become.
On March 31 in Paris a special meeting, named “Nanjing II,” was held. People’s Bank of China Governor, Zhou Xiaochuan, was there and made a major presentation on, among other points, broader use of the IMF special basket of five major world currencies, the Special Drawing Rights or SDR’s. The invited were a very select few. The list included German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble, UK Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne, IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde discussed the world’s financial architecture together with China. Apparently and significantly, there was no senior US official present.
On the Paris talks, Bloomberg reported: “China wants a much more closely managed system, where private-sector decisions can be managed by governments,” said Edwin Truman, a former Federal Reserve and US Treasury official. “The French have always favored international monetary reform, so they’re natural allies to the Chinese on this issue.”

Providing even more proof that she is simply a puppet for the ruling oligarchy, on Thursday, Hillary Clinton attended a $100,000-a-head fundraiser hosted by none other than Lynn Forester de Rothschild,
a prominent New York businesswoman, wife of Sir Evelyn Robert de
Rothschild of the Rothschild banking dynasty and supporter of Mrs.
Clinton.
The Rothschild banking dynasty is a family line that has been accused of pulling the political strings of many different governments through their control of various economic systems throughout the world.
Historically, there is ample evidence to prove that the family has used its vast fortune to control the political apparatus of numerous nations throughout history, toppling regimes and bringing entire economies to their knees.

With such small moves overnight all global gold markets recorded
prices moving only slightly. No conclusions can be drawn from their
moves against each other, right now.
The gold price reacted to the stronger dollar while the Chinese Yuan stabilized at slightly higher levels against the dollar.
What we find of note is that in the Fed minutes concerned was expressed, “because of unanticipated developments associated with China’s management of its exchange rate.” No such concern was expressed by the moves of the euro or the Yen. Why?

another setback for the death penalty trial of the five men accused of
aiding the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, two defense lawyers
for Khalid Shaikh Mohammed say the U.S. government secretly destroyed
relevant evidence.
On May 11, defense lawyers for the accused mastermind of the 9/11 terror attacks asked for judge Col. James Pohl and the prosecution team to be recused from the trial, and for the case to be shut down. Defense lawyers David Nevin and Maj. Derek Poteet say that the U.S. government destroyed evidence related to the case, according to the New York Times. The two men are unable to provide further details because the issue is classified, but Mr. Nevin said the evidence was “favorable” to the defendants.
Major Poteet also told the Times that the defense was first informed in February that Colonel Pohl would provide them with a “summary of a substitute” for the original, classified evidence. The defense requested Colonel Pohl to preserve the evidence for the record and Pohl complied. Or so they thought.
