These Are The 9 Zero Hedge Charts Showing "Obama's Recovery" That Angered The Washington Post



The Media Divides Us With Gorillas To Enable The Crimes Of The Government

Dichotomized moral outrage receives an altogether greedy leg up from corporate media. After all, networks understand all too acutely how tragedy drives opportunity - and what better way to cash in on casualty than by capitalizing on ethical wedges people invariably manufacture?

This Is What The Tap Water Looks Like In Venezuela

Step aside Flint, because Caracas has some funky orange stuff flowing out of the tap to offer to those who are thirsty after a day of rioting against a entrenched, dictatorial regime.






Weekend Reading: The End Of The Era Of Procrastination

"The era of procrastination, of half-measures, of soothing and baffling expedients, of delays is coming to its close. In its place we are entering a period of consequences."


Obama's Latest Whopper - Let's Raise Social Security Benefits!

Yes, Donald Trump may well need some tutoring on the issues. But better a few stray tweets than the incredulous whoppers being served up by the current incumbent.


Trump Blamed For San Jose Riots By Clinton-Supporting Mayor

Following the stunning scenes of sucker-punching, flag-burning, spitting, and kicking from Mexican-flag-wearing anti-Trump protesters overnight, San Jose mayor Tom Liccardo - a Democrat and vocal Hillary Clinton supporter - told the Associated Press that Donald Trump was responsible for the violence.

Oil Industry Drove US Wage Growth. Now That Is Over

A report from Pew Research Center reveals that between the third quarter of 2000 and the same period of last year, wages across the U.S. rose by 7.4 percent in real terms, driven largely by the oil and gas industry. Wages in energy-dependent communities rose by the most, in some cases more than twofold, such as in Texas. This shouldn’t be surprising as the period reviewed coincides with the peak of the shale boom in the country, even though it also covers two periods of recession. But those positive effects are starting to disappear.

Bondholders Stunned As Puerto Rico Finds $4.4 Billion In Outstanding Debt "Unconstitutional"

If bondholders were angry with Puerto Rico before, they'll surely be pissed now that there is a reasonable chance that they'll end up with nothing at all as 1 17 member audit commission found some of the nation's debt "unconstitutional." In other words, the government may now just declare the bonds invalid.

Hillary Rejects "America First"

Is the slogan to be, “Let Hillary clean up the mess she helped to make?” Is Clinton’s role in pushing for two wars, both of which resulted in disasters for her country and the entire Middle East, something to commend her for the presidency of the United States? What Trump has hit upon, what the country wants, is a foreign policy designed to protect the vital interests of the United States, and a president who will - ever and always - put America first.

Deja Vu Dead Cat Bounce All Over Again

From hope to nope and back to hope...

Desperate To Cut Costs And Increase Efficiency, WalMart Turns To Drones

Ever since WalMart decided to increase its minimum wage and then give all employees a 2% pay raise, it has been forced to slash guidance and move forward with mass layoffs in order to cut costs (it had to offset the multi-billion dollar short-term PR investment somehow). The next phase of the cost cutting efforts will now be to replace workers with drones.

It Starts: Apartment Gluts in San Francisco & New York City

by Wolf Richter, Wolf Street:
Mega-landlord prepares for downturn.
On Wednesday, mega-landlord Equity Residential – which “owns or has investments in 314 properties consisting of 78,351 apartment units” and whose chairman and founder is the ultimate real-estate market timer Sam Zell – warned for the second time since the end of April about apartment rental revenues.
This time, it blamed a flood of new supply in two cities – the craziest, most ludicrously priced housing markets in the US: New York and San Francisco.
Turns out newly signed leases aren’t meeting expectations in those cities, and they’re dragging down the company’s overall national results.

If Clinton Is Indicted, It will Mark the End of America As We Know It

by Dave Hodges, The Common Sense Show:
Hillary Clinton did not cooperate with the State Department inspector general and his investigators, in the latest round of fact finding, but she has maintained that she is willing to talk with the FBI. However, she then told MSNBC the bureau has not yet scheduled an interview. That’s not quite the picture that known facts portray.
Finally, Clinton Is In Very Big Trouble
The most recent State Department inspector general report, finds Hillary Clinton broke government rules with her personal email use, and it exponentially increases “the likelihood and pressure for the Justice Department to pursue criminal charges, an intelligence source familiar with the FBI investigation told Fox News”.
At issue are the 2,100 classified emails discovered on Clinton’s private server constitute a violation of federal code, including the Espionage Act’s 18 USC 793, known as the “gross negligence” statute. According to Fox News intelligence source, FBI Director James Comey plans to make a recommendation based on the evidence, to pursue criminal charges. However, the decision to prosecute ultimately rests with Attorney General Loretta Lynch.

Hillary on the Ropes

by Lew Rockwell, Lew Rockwell:
Late last week, the inspector general of the State Department completed a yearlong investigation into the use by Hillary Clinton of a private email server for all of her official government email as secretary of state. The investigation was launched when information technology officials at the State Department under Secretary of State John Kerry learned that Clinton paid an aide to migrate her public and secret State Department email streams away from their secured government venues and onto her own, non-secure server, which was stored in her home.
The migration of the secret email stream most likely constituted the crime of espionage — the failure to secure and preserve the secrecy of confidential, secret or top-secret materials.

Barack Obama Warns Americans ‘To Be Prepared For A Disaster’

by Michael Snyder, The Economic Collapse Blog:

When Barack Obama speaks to the public, it is very rare that he does so without a specific purpose in mind.  So why is he urging Americans “to be prepared for a disaster” all of a sudden?  On May 31, Obama took time out of his extremely busy schedule to deliver an address at the FEMA National Response Coordination Center in Washington.  During his speech, he stressed that every American is responsible for preparing for disasters, and that includes “having an evacuation plan” and “having a fully stocked disaster supply kit”.  These are basic steps that I have been encouraging people to do for years, but if they won’t listen to me, perhaps they will listen to the man currently residing in the White House.  The following excerpt from Obama’s speech comes directly from the official White House websiteRead More

Obama Blames Right Wing Conservative Media for Anger of White Americans

by Suzanne Hamner, Freedom OutPost:
Like many Americans in this nation, the time for Hussein Soetoro to leave office cannot come soon enough. If members of Congress followed the Constitution, the totalitarian dictator would have already been removed from office and serving a sentence after facing impeachment and a criminal court. The man speaks so many lies and stirs the pot of racism and division in this nation all the while blaming the division on citizens. It has gotten to the point that people are angry; and, it is going to get worse.
On par for the megalomythomaniac, he has done nothing to stir the pot of racism in this nation – it is the fault of “conservative” right wing talk shows and naturally, the Republicans. Speaking in Elkhart, Indiana, the egotistical dictator “accused ‘right wing’ talk radio and cable channels like Fox News of angering white people in America about the economy….” He claims the economy is doing well under his administration. However, the majority of Americans would disagree.

INFLATION INSANITY: EGGS NOW $150 A DOZEN IN VENEZUELA AS PRICES FOR BASIC FOOD CONTINUE TO SKYROCKET

by Piper McGowin, The Daily Sheeple:
Can you imagine lining up around the block overnight just to be able to shop in a government-run, government-restricted grocery store where you have to be fingerprinted to enter and then your food is allotted to you so that you can only buy a limited amount of a certain item each month?
As the sharp drop in oil prices continues to destroy Venezuela’s economy, the IMF, who owns large portions of the developing world, is now predicting inflation will skyrocket to 720% in Venezuela this year.
Food prices are hitting astronomical rates. Pretty soon, it’s looking like hardly anyone will be able to afford to eat.
The L.A. Times recently interviewed a 42-year-old single mother who works as an accounting assistant for the government ministry and lives in Caracas. She makes 27,000 bolivars, including a food allowance, each month. That would equal $2,700 a month normally, but check out how much money she has to spend these days on food and what she has to go through just to feed her children.
