State Department Re-Opens Clinton Emails Probe, Hints At "Administrative Sanctions"

Just over three months ago the State Department 'suspended' its internal review into whether former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton or her top aides mishandled emails containing information now deemed "top secret." Now that The FBI's review is over - finding her recklessly negligible and unsophisticated enough to know she was doing anything wrong - AP reports State is reopening the probe warning that Hillary (and/or her scapegoats staff) may still face "administrative sanctions."

What About the Clinton Foundation Investigation?

by Debra Heine, PJ Media:
Back in May, Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA), the former chairman of the Oversight Committee, said that he believed that the FBI wouldn’t finish the public corruption track of the investigation until after the election.

“I believe they are going to have to make a summary finding as to her violation of the national records act, her taking of the documents, and of course a classified portion,” said Issa who wielded subpoena power and oversaw an investigative staff while he chaired the Oversight Committee.”They’re going to have to leave the … coordinating her activities and President Clinton’s activities and Chelsea’s activities in the Clinton Foundation, they’re probably going to have to leave that until after the election,” Issa said.

What's Starting Now Will Overturn The Entire System: "Complete Collapse of Everything"

“There’s too much of everything...” The debt, the currency collapse, the global economy, and the institutions we’ve all taken for granted. All of it is head for prolonged collapse, and revolution.

Europe's Bank Crisis Arrives In Germany: €29 Billion Bremen Landesbank On The Verge Of Failure

It appears that some shipping loans gone bad could be the catalyst for Europe's banking crisis to finally breach the most impenetrable border of all, that of Germany. Because it is in Germany where we find what may be the next domino to fall as part of Europe's latest banking crisis incarnation: Bremen Landesbank, whose contingent convertible bonds have just cratered as a result of speculation that the bank's bailout is suddenly in jeopardy.

It's Time to Stop Saying – "But Cops Have A Dangerous Job"

I don’t know exactly when it happened, but police no longer seem to view the general public as citizens under their protection. In poor communities they seem to literally view the public as the enemy and the streets as some sort of combat zone. In affluent communities, the public is often seen as a captive audience to be abused financially. This didn’t come out of nowhere, and it’s very much a top down problem. One of the key factors in all this relates to how the U.S. government is systematically and intentionally arming police departments around the country with weapons of war.

WTF Headline Of The Day

This Is All That Was Left Of The Crashed Self-Driving Tesla

A photo of the Tesla Model S involved in the fatal crash on May 7, 2016 shows with the top third of the car sheared off by the impact of the collision of the Tesla with a tractor-trailer truck on nearby highway and coming to rest in the yard of Robert and Chrissy VanKavelaar.

Mass Protests Planned Following Castile Shooting, As Minnesota Governor Blasts Cops

Once again America is outraged, this time not over one but two police shootings in as many days, the second of which was particularly chilling because as we reported earlier today, the victim's girlfriend posted live video on the internet as it was happening. The demonstrations over the deaths of Castile, Sterling and other black men killed by police are now planned for St. Paul, New York, Chicago and several smaller cities on Thursday evening, according to organizers posting on social media.

The Big Lie About Ultra-Low Interest Rates

by Jeff Nielson, Sprott Money:
A normal, benchmark interest rate for a national economy is between 3 – 5%. Indeed, if we go back a little further in history , a normal rate was significantly higher than that range. This fact is mentioned because after eight years of monetary madness in the West, many (most?) people have completely forgotten what “normal” is with respect to interest rates.
The title of this article is something of a misnomer. There are, in fact, numerous big lies being disseminated concerning the Western world’s utterly insane, totally criminal, near-zero interest rates (and now “negative” rates). However, all these Big Lies are then piled on top of each other, in order to create an even Bigger Lie.

A Period of Major Civil Unrest is Coming – How to Win an Inevitable Confrontation with the Status Quo

by Michael Krieger, Liberty Blitzkrieg:
At this point I’d like to remind everyone that crime in the U.S. has been dropping since the 1990’s. So why has domestic police force militarization been growing exponentially since then? Ostensibly, it is for the “war on terror” and to keep us safe. In reality, we know this is bullshit. Just like the NSA’s unconstitutional spying hasn’t stopped a single terrorist attack, turning local cops into a domestic army hasn’t done a single thing to make us safe. To the contrary, it is creating an environment where the general public harbors increased resentment and skepticism toward police, and the police view the citizenry as the “enemy.” This takes the societal tinderbox that already exists and makes it downright explosive. Ferguson is just the latest example of the tension bubbling to the surface, but there will likely be many more in the future.

The U.S. is Becoming the Biggest Hurdle for Economic Growth for Western Economies

from Rogue Money:
Almost 100 years after President Calvin Coolidge declared, ‘the business of America is business’, the Obama administration has established a new label for the empire which says, ‘the business of America is the stifling of business’. Because sure enough, it has been the domestic and foreign polices of the U.S. which have not only brought about Western economic decline, but they have also helped the East rise to the top and stand on the precipice of seizing control over the global financial system.
Undoubtedly, the President before Barack Obama had a great deal to do with setting the table for the U.S. and Europe’s economic demise thanks to endless wars, the devaluing of the dollar, and using sanctions to interrupt the free flow of trade between Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. And this of course has led both Russia and China to create new monetary and financial infrastructures that opened the door for the world to leave the dollar and Washington’s hegemony, and to seek to return to a system that recognizes and respects each nation’s own sovereign and individual currencies.

How to Prepare for the Worst Bear Market You’ve Ever Seen

by Doug Casey, Casey Research:
Two of the biggest names in investing agree with what we’ve been saying for months…
The world is racing toward a full-blown financial crisis.
As Dispatch readers know, Great Britain voted to leave the European Union (EU) on June 23. The historic event, which the media is calling the “Brexit,” rattled financial markets from Tokyo to New York.
It triggered a worldwide selloff that erased $2.1 trillion from global stocks on Friday, June 24. It was the worst day in history for the global stock market. The panic spilled over into Monday when another $930 billion in value vanished from the global stock market.
Then, stocks rallied.

The Thin Veneer Of Civilization That We All Take For Granted Is Evaporating All Over The Globe

by Michael Snyder, End Of The American Dream:
Have you noticed that the world seems to be going a little bit more crazy with each passing month? Here we are halfway through 2016, and the rot and decay that are eating at the foundations of civilized society seem to be rapidly gaining momentum. Every single day, all of us take certain things for granted as we go through our normal routines. For example, as you walk down the street you probably take it for granted that someone is not going to pull out a gun and try to shoot you. As members of a civilized society, we have come to expect that our fellow citizens will behave in a certain way. Unfortunately, the thin veneer of civilization that we have all come to rely upon is steadily evaporating all over the globe, and chaos, crime and violence are all on the rise.

‘Currency Crash’ Drives British Pound To A 31 Year Low As Deutsche Bank Sinks To The Lowest Level Ever

by Michael Snyder, The Economic Collapse Blog:
The fallout from the Brexit vote continues to rock the European financial system. On Wednesday, the British pound dropped to a fresh 31 year low as confidence in the currency continues to plummet. At one point it had fallen as low as $1.2796 before rebounding a bit. As I write this, it is still sitting at just $1.293. Meanwhile, the problems for the biggest banks in Europe just continue to mount. At one point on Wednesday Credit Suisse hit an all-time record low, and German banking giant Deutsche Bank closed the day at an all-time record closing low of 12.93. Overall, Europe’s Stoxx 600 Bank Index closed at the lowest level in almost five years. What we are watching is a full-blown financial meltdown in Europe, but because it is not personally affecting them yet, most Americans are not paying any attention to it.
