Bear Stearns 2.0? UK's Largest Property Fund Halts Redemptions, Fears "Vicious Circle"


In the summer of 2007, two inconsequential Bear Stearns property-related funds were gated and then liquidated, exposing the reality of the US housing bubble and catalyzing the collapse of the financial system. Fast forward eight years later when the UK's Standard Life has been forced to stop retail investors selling out of one of the UK’s largest property funds for at least 28 days after rapid cash outflows, due to fears over falling real estate values: "the risk is this creates a vicious circle, and prompts more investors to dump property."

Hillary's Closest Aide Admits Clinton 'Illegally' Burned Daily Schedule

ETF Securities Reports Biggest One-Day Gold Inflow Since Financial Crisis


It never ceases to amaze how vastly different the investment styles of gold paper vs physical traders are: while we have documented previously how the latter tend to buy progressively more the lower the price, "investors" in paper-derivatives such as ETFs and ETPs are quite the opposite, where only momentum matters. Once a reflexive buying spree is unleashed, paper buying begets even more paper buying. Nowhere is this more evident than in today's daily report of ETF Securities, where "inflows into gold ETPs of US$263mn on Friday 1st July were at their highest since inception."

America's Female Prison Population Has Grown 800% & Nobody Is Talking About It


“...black women represent 32.6% of female prisoners, but only 12.8% of the general population,” making black children “nearly 7.5 times more likely than white children to have a parent in prison.”

Nigel Farage Steps Down As UKIP Leader, Adding To Post-Brexit Political Turmoil


Nigel Farage, UKIP leader and passionate advocate for the UK to leave the European Union, announced unexpectedly today that he is stepping down as party leader, just days after he led a successful, and historic, campaign to Leave the European Union. Speaking in Westminster, Farage said the Brexit referendum was about Britons taking their country back, and having succeeded at that, Farage now "wants his life back.” His resignation completes the recent chaos in UK politics which has seen both the Conservative and Labour parties scramble to find new leadership in the aftermath of the Brexit vote.

Putin Deploys Russian Aircraft Carrier To Syria In Retaliation To US Naval Build Up In Mediterreanean


The Russian aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov will be deployed to the eastern eastern part of the Mediterranean Sea in the latter part of 2016 in order to "participate in delivering strikes against militants in Syria." That's the official reason. The unofficial one: to respond to US escalation in the region, where recently the US navy deployed two aircraft carriers of its own to "send a clear message to Russia." Russia's response to this message: we hear you loud and clear, and here we come.

Brexit Proved It's All A Central Bank Funded Mirage


Why can’t the markets proceed any higher than when QE ended in Oct/Nov of 2014? You know, if this is truly: a fundamentally based bull market that is. Or, is it that – its fundamentally full of bull? I believe it’s a big-ole-pile of the latter, and little to none of the former. Put a different way: Explain why does it take more central banker intervention, or the promise thereof, to stop these falls? If it were all “fundamentally” based on market principles, again, why is there a need or call for even more monetary interventionism? (i.e., negative interest rates, “helicopter” styled moves, etc., etc.)

Trump Takes Aim At The Global Elite


"The people of the United Kingdom have exercised the sacred right of all free peoples... Come November, the American people will have the chance to re-declare their independence. They will have the chance to reject today’s rule by the global elite, and to embrace real change that delivers a government of, by and for the people. I hope America is watching, it will soon be time to believe in America again."

LEAKED: Japan’s Mega-Pension Fund Plows into Stocks, Eats $50Bn Loss, Tries to Hide it till after Election

by Wolf Richter, Wolf Street:
Benefiting hedge funds and banks that had front-run the fund.
Abenomics is facing elections on July 10 for the less powerful Upper House.
But Abenomics hasn’t fared very well. It engaged in the biggest (relative to the economy) money-printing and bond buying extravaganza the world has ever seen. The securities the Bank of Japan has bought, now at ¥426 trillion ($4.15 trillion), amount to 85% of GDP. About $8 trillion in Japanese Government Bonds sport negative yields. Even the 30-year yield is just about zero. The JGB market, once the second largest government bond market in the world, has frozen. The BOJ’s primary dealers are in revolt. Some have already pulled out.

FILE 17: FRESH DOCUMENTS HINT AT POSSIBLE SAUDI TIES TO 9/11 HIJACKERS

from InfoWars:
The US government has declassified a report that lists more than three dozen people that investigators looking into the 9/11 terrorist attacks wanted to probe for possible links from Saudi Arabia to the hijackers.
The document, known as “File 17,” was compiled by Dana Lesemann and Michael Jacobson. It offers clues as to what may be hidden in the secret 28 pages of the congressional report on the 9/11 attacks, which is rumored to implicate the Saudis.
“Much of the information upon which File 17 was written was based on what’s in the 28 pages,” former Democratic Senator Bob Graham of Florida told the AP.

Nigel Farage Resigns as Ukip Leader: ‘I have done my bit. Now I want my life back’

RELATED: Nigel Farage Steps Down As UKIP Leader, Adding To Post-Brexit Political Turmoil
by Michael Wilkinson, The Telegraph:
Nigel Farage has resigned as Ukip leader after his success in the EU referendum and said: “I want my life back”. The Ukip leader said “I feel I have done my bit” and “couldn’t possibly achieve more” than he did in the EU referendum.
At a press conference in London he said: “During this referendum campaign I said I want my country back. Now I want my life back.
“I feel I have done my bit. I couldn’t possibly achieve more than we did in that referendum. I stand aside aside. I won’t be changing my mind again, I promise you.”

Government Insider Has Video Evidence 9/11 Was Absolutely an “INSIDE JOB”

by Baxter Dmitry, Investment Watch Blog:
In an explosive new documentary a former FEMA staffer given unrestricted access to Ground Zero hours after 9/11 claims that what he saw proves the attacks were an inside job by the US government – and that they are now trying to silence him by framing him for murder.
Armed with camera gear, Kurt Sonnenfeld was asked to film everything he saw. His documented evidence was supposed to form part of a FEMA report about the disaster response, but he decided to keep hold of the footage.
Then his wife was found dead on a couch in their Denver home with a bullet wound to the back of her head, and his life began to unravel spectacularly.

The Orlando Shootings: Police SWAT Team Involved in the Killings?

by Prof Michel Chossudovsky, Global Research:
The first reports of shots came at 2.03am involving a confrontation between Mateen and a security guard at the entrance of the nightclub ”An off-duty cop working as a security guard at the club returned fire, prompting Mateen to retreat further into the hotspot and take hostages, officials said.” (New York Post, June 12, 2016).
According to police statements, there was, however, no “active shooter situation” at 2am in the morning, requiring an immediate police response. Moreover, there was no firm evidence that killings of hostages had taken place.
The Orlando police authorities initiated a process of negotiation with Mateen. When Mateen said that “there would be an imminent loss of life,” Orlando Police Chief John Mina (image right) was prompted “to end a three-hour standoff and ordered the assault that killed Mr. Mateen and freed dozens of people trapped in the club.” (New York Times, June 13, 2016).

A Storm is a’Brewin’… Bullion Banks “Have Been Panicking”

advising that soon, they may no longer be able to quote prices on large gold bar orders
from Investment Watch Blog:

This response is previously unheard of and indicates the increasing illiquidity in the large gold bar market due to a recent surge in HNW, UHNW and institutional (wealth managers, hedge funds, banks etc) demand across the world coupled with already robust central bank demand.
The increasingly illiquid physical gold market where supply cannot keep up with demand underlines the importance of owning physical bullion coins and bars – either in your possession or having direct legal title to your individual coins and bars. Bullion should be owned in your name or your company’s name and be stored directly in the safest vaults in the safest jurisdictions in the world – outside the financial, banking system.

Draghi Channels his Rahm Emmanuel and Seeks to Use Brexit Vote to Call for Single Global Central Bank

from Rogue Money:
President Barack Obama’s former Chief of Staff Rahm Emmanuel once famously said, never let a crisis go to waste. And following the referendum vote by the British people to leave the European Union in the coming months, the European Central Bank (ECB) head Mario Draghi is channeling his inner Rahm Emmanuel to use this event as a clarion call to bring all global central banks under one roof to create one massive financial institution for monetary policy.
On June 30, global bond markets began to crash following the Brexit vote and news that one or more Italian banks would be requiring a bailout or bail-in. And on that day, Draghi was speaking at a European Central Bank conference in Portugal where he suggested that all central banks should join together in creating singular monetary policies, and no longer have ‘disjointed’ ones that work against each other in their respective regions.
