The FBI Leaks Begin: Emails At Center Of Hillary Criminal Probe Revealed

The ongoing criminal probe surrounding Hillary's email server has been marked by opacity and lack of virtually any disclosure, not to mention a major turf war between the FBI and the DOJ, which is why many were surprised when overnight the WSJ revealed that at the center of the probe over Hillary's handling of classified information are a series of emails between American diplomats in Islamabad and their superiors in Washington about whether to oppose specific drone strikes in Pakistan.

Moscow Warns Of Prompt Response After US Sends Destroyer To Black Sea

American warships entering the Black Sea will prompt “response measures” from Moscow, a top Russian diplomat has warned, adding that another US aircraft carrier in the Mediterranean is clearly an attempt to show force ahead of an upcoming NATO summit.

Global Bonds Yields Plunge To Record As Treasuries Test Flash-Crash Lows

German, Japanese, and British bond yields are plumbing historic depths as low growth outlooks combined with event risk concerns (Brexit, elections, etc.) have sent investors scurrying for safe-havens (away from US Biotechs). At 2.0bps, 10Y Bunds are inching ever closer to the Maginot Line of NIRP which JGBs have already crossed, and all of this global compression is dragging US Treasury yields to their lowest levels since February's flash-crash... and it appears stocks are catching down to that reality.

George Soros Is Preparing For Economic Collapse – Does He Know Something That You Don’t?

by Michael Snyder, The Economic Collapse Blog:
Why is George Soros selling stocks, buying gold and making “a series of big, bearish investments”? If things stay relatively stable like they are right now, these moves will likely cost George Soros a tremendous amount of money. But if a major financial crisis is imminent, he stands to make obscene returns. So does George Soros know something that the rest of us do not? Could it be possible that he has spent too much time reading websites such as The Economic Collapse Blog? What are we to make of all of this?
The recent trading moves that Soros has made are so big and so bearish that they have even gotten the attention of the Wall Street Journal…

Bundesbank Warns Of "Abrupt Surge" In Risk Premia, Asset Bubbles

The Bundesbank joined the fray between Deutsche Bank and the ECB, when Jens Weidmann warned that an extended period of low interest rates could increase the risk of a sudden surge in risk premiums, and policymakers should consider the implications of financial imbalances, translation: "the ECB is blowing bubbles."

#1 Reason To Vote Brexit: Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, & The IMF Seek Remain

Brexit logic is a curious thing.

"Deliberately Overblown" Brexit Fears Backfire

As the June 23rd BREXIT (the UK-wide referendum to leave the EU) vote draws near, the polls indicate a close result. Those urging a vote for the UK to remain inside the EU are suggesting increasingly dire economic consequences that would follow a yes vote by the British people to leave. Voices from London, Brussels, and Washington have all put immense pressure on British voters to bend to the will of the elites. To listen to their commentary one would think that apocalypse was just around the corner. But is there any substance to their warnings?

So Who Is Buying? Selling Continues With $2.6 Billion In Equity Outflows, Stocks Sold In 10 Of Past 12 Weeks

The fund flow paradox continues: US stocks trade just shy of all time highs as global outflows from equity funds continue with another $2.6 billion yanked in the past week; this represents 10 weekly outflows in the past 12 weeks. More confusing is that just in the US, $2 billion was withdrawn leading to outflows in 5 of the past 6 weeks. So who is buying? That is the implied question in the last fund flow note from BofA's Michael Hartnett...

Global Stocks Sharply Lower As Bond Yields Hit New Record Lows; Oil Slides Below $50

EBT Card Outage? 8 Days Into June And Many Americans Are Still Waiting For Food Stamp Money

Widespread reports continue to pour in from all over the nation of “glitches” with the food stamp system.  It is eight days into the month and large numbers of people still have not received their benefits, and in other instances it is being reported that EBT cards are simply not working correctly. Could this simply be another example of government incompetence, or is something else at work here?

Where Do Matters Stand? — Paul Craig Roberts

by Paul Craig Roberts, Paul Craig Roberts:
On the eve of World War II the United States was still mired in the Great Depression and found itself facing war on two fronts with Japan and Germany. However bleak the outlook, it was nothing compared to the outlook today.
Has anyone in Washington, the presstitute Western media, the EU, or NATO ever considered the consequences of constant military and propaganda provocations against Russia? Is there anyone in any responsible position anywhere in the Western world who has enough sense to ask: “What if the Russians believe us? What if we convince Russia that we are going to attack her?”
The same can be asked about China.

“Atomic Bomb In the Works for July”: Someone VERY BIG Is Standing For Gold & Silver!

by Bill Holter, Silver Doctors:
For more than three years we have watched the COMEX very closely. The initial clue to begin watching were the waterfall events where the amounts of paper gold and silver sold simply dwarfed what was being mined. I have said many times after the smackdowns, “first, no one has this much (gold or silver), second, no trader would ever sell in this fashion and destroy the price he will receive for the sale. Clearly the sales were done to affect price downward”. Each time I have written on this topic and suggested it would ultimately end with a delivery default I have been trolled. It looks very much like we will soon find out a default of delivery is not only possible but highly probable.
Starting with gold, last month (May) saw 221,000 ounces stand for delivery. This amount actually grew during the month which is highly unusual as the amount standing has ALWAYS dropped during delivery periods, this is the first time to my knowledge that the amount standing actually increased.

The Next Crash: Prelude

by Jeff Nielson, Bullion Bulls:

Surreal. This is one of the adjectives which comes to mind in viewing economic circumstances, in general, and the U.S. economy in particular.
In the fall of 2014; a previous commentary broadcast a warning titled The Next Crash in 2016. It was not so much a “prediction” as mere observation and extrapolation. We had just finished witnessing (and enduring) two, previous, eight year bubble-and-crash cycles, orchestrated by the Big Bank crime syndicate known as “the One Bank”.
The reason for the length and timing of these cycles, as noted by another commentator, was to coincide with the U.S. election cycle. As one half of the Two-Party Dictatorship nears the end of its eight-year reign of power, it becomes the scapegoat for the crash, allowing the other puppet-party to portray themselves as the White Knights who then rescue the U.S. economy.

Republicans Plan to Dwell on Neocon Agenda to Sidetrack Trump at Convention

by Kurt Nimmo, Infowars:
House Republican Michael McCaul of Texas trekked to the Council on Foreign Relations on Thursday and said Republicans will attempt to shift the focus from the presumed nominee Donald Trump during the convention and focus on national security.
McCaul is the Homeland Security Committee chairman. He told the CFR it is impractical to target a particular race or religion and advocated instead targeting potential threats overseas.
McCaul’s remarks reflect the national security strategy of Wisconsin Republican Paul Ryan.
The House Speaker’s plan criticizes the Obama administration for its perceived foreign policy failures, including not enforcing a “red line” against Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad. Obama’s red line was proposed after the US accused Syria of using chemical weapons.

Family of Autism Specialist Dr. Jeffrey Bradstreet Says Forensic Evidence Points to Murder, Impossible for Bullet Entry to be Self-Inflicted

by Julie Wilson, Natural News:
Nearly one year has passed since Dr. Jeffrey Bradstreet, a renowned physician known for his skepticism of immunizations (particularly the MMR vaccine) and his progressive autism research was found dead, floating in a North Carolina river with a single gunshot wound.
Leading up to his death, Bradstreet was working with a highly controversial molecule that occurs naturally within the human body and is believed to be capable of treating and reversing autism.
Researchers claim that GcMAF (Globulin component Macrophage Activating Factor), which becomes the GC protein after combining with vitamin D in the body, is effective for treating HIV, diabetes and diseases of the liver and kidneys. More importantly, GcMAF experts predict that the natural molecule has the potential to be a universal cure for cancer.

UK Buying Gold Bullion On BREXIT “Nerves”

by Mark O’Byrne, GoldCore:
Gold bullion is seeing increased sales in the UK on BREXIT “nerves” according to Reuters today:
“Demand for bullion bars and coins is rising, with men and women of all ages buying up the safe-haven metal in case of a British exit from the European Union.
Mark O’Byrne, director of Dublin-based gold dealer Goldcore, said the price bounce had already driven a significant demand increase this year, with broader geopolitical concerns also feeding into the rise.
“In the coming weeks, we’re expecting to be busy,” he said. “The recent polls (on Brexit) are going to create more jitters… that should lead to quite robust demand as we run into polling day.”

Bernie Betrays All His Supporters

by Martin Armstrong, Armstrong Economics:
Of course Bernie Sanders appears to have sold out emerging from a White House meeting with President Barack Obama vowing to work together with Hillary Clinton to defeat Donald Trump in November.
Bernie would rather endorse a traitor who has sold her influence as Secretary of State just to save the Democratic Party. Obama assured Bernie, no doubt, that he would not allow Hillary to be indicted. And to further rig the game, the State Department refuses to release her emails until AFTER the election.
But the actual date they gave was November 31st, 2016, which does not exist since November has only 30 days. Once she is president, no doubt they will vanish altogether.

Is U.S.-Mexico Border Secure? Pelosi: ‘Building a Wall There Is Wrong’

by Penny Starr, CNS News:
When asked whether the U.S.-Mexico border is secure, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) did not answer directly but said “the thought of building a wall there is wrong.”
At her press conference at the Capitol on Thursday, CNSNews.com asked Pelosi: “Do you think that the U.S.-Mexico border is secure?”
Pelosi said: “I think it’s important to note–I just took a delegation, a bipartisan delegation, to Mexico and migration was one of our issues, TPP, national security always first and foremost the issue–and the fact is, is that we have a negative migration. More people are going back to Mexico than are coming into our country.”

Desperate Republicans Float Prospect of Convention Coup to Overthrow Trump

by Adan Salazar, Infowars:
Conservatives who still have reservations over supporting Donald Trump for their party’s nomination are floating the incredible improbability of a staged coup at the GOP convention in July.
Numerous media outlets jumped on statements coming from Republicans following Trump’s comments pointing out the possible bias of a judge presiding over one of his business’s highly publicized court cases.
Over the weekend, Trump defended remarks regarding his Trump University case, which is being presided over by Judge Gonzalo Curiel, “a Mexican,” Trump says, who may oppose his border wall idea.
