by Jim Hift, The Gateway Pundit:

Don’t hold your breath, Donald.

Exclusive — Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn: Obama, Hillary Ignored Intelligence They Did Not Like About Middle East, Only Wanted ‘Happy Talk’

by Matthew Boyle, Breitbart:
NEW YORK CITY, New York — Retired Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn, who served for more than two years as the director of President Barack Obama’s Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), leveled explosive charges against the President and his former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in an exclusive hour-long interview with Breitbart News Daily on Friday.
Specifically, during an exclusive interview about his book The Field of Fight, Flynn said that Obama and Clinton were not interested in hearing intelligence that did not fit their “happy talk” narrative about the Middle East. In fact, he alleged the administration actively scrubbed training manuals and purged from the military ranks any thinking about the concept of radical Islamism. Flynn argued that this effort by Obama, Clinton and others to reduce the intelligence community to gathering only facts that the senior administration officials wanted to hear—rather than what they needed to hear—helped the enemy fester and grow, while weakening the United States on the world stage.

Dallas Fed Respondent: "Sometime After The Election, Data Will Show That In 2016 The U.S. Was In Recession"

"Sometime after the election, historical data will show that in 2016 the U.S. was in recession."

European Banks Prepare For "Economic Nuclear Winter"

While some European bank stocks have scrambled back some of their plunge losses post-Brexit, the current uncertainty over when the U.K. will start the process of quitting the EU has banks on tenterhooks, with a source telling CNBC that banks are "preparing for an economic nuclear winter situation." With negative rates (and a plunging yield curve) banks' earnings are under threat but the concerns over the potential for contagious European break-up and collapse of the pound after Article 50 is signed is existential.

"Election Fraud Underway" - NBC Affiliate Posts "Election Results" For Florida Race That Hasn't Happened Yet

Republican candidate for Florida House District 86, Laurel Bennett, was a little surprised over the weekend to find that a local TV station was reporting her loss of a race that hadn't even yet occurred.

“We Are At A Point Where The Encroachment Of Government Power Has Historically Resulted In Rebellion”

from ZeroHedge:
Overnight, one of our favorite hedge fund commentators, (ex) IceFarm Capital’s Michael Green, was gruesomely entertained by Ken Rogoff’s WSJ Op-Ed, pushing for a ban on $20, $50 and $100 bills, to which he – just like us – has some less than kind words.
Unlike our bemused conclusion about the idiocy of Rogoff’s latest pitch to do away with cash (something we predicted would happen years ago as banning cash is a necessary, if not sufficient, condition for NIRP to work), Green provides the following thought experiment to demonstrate just how ridiculous economic prescriptions have become:

Trump By a Landslide?

by Charles Hugh Smith, Of Two Minds:
Based on this analytic structure, Trump may not just win the election in November–he might win by a landslide.
If we believe the mainstream media and the Establishment it protects and promotes, Trump has no chance of winning the presidential election. For starters, Trump supporters are all Confederate-flag waving hillbillies, bigots, fascists and misogynists. In other words. “good people” can’t possibly vote for Trump.
Even cartoon character Mike Doonesbury is fleeing to Vancouver to escape Trumpism. (Memo to the Doonesbury family: selling your Seattle home will barely net the down payment on a decent crib in Vancouver.)

Iceland Sounds Alarm After Largest Volcano Rocked By Big Earthquake Cluster

Six years after the eruption of Iceland's Eyjafjallajokull volcano in 2010 caused the cancellation of more than 100,000 flights across Europe on concern that glass-like particles formed from lava might melt in aircraft engines and clog turbines, Iceland met office raised the alarm after its largest volcano was hit by the biggest tremors since 1977. Katla, named after an evil troll, is in southern Iceland about 140 kilometers (87 miles) from the capital, Reykjavik.

Mike Maloney: "This Is The Peak"

"This is the peak – we have passed the peak of the bubble. It's now deflating. There is usually a little tiny roll over and then a huge crash. And the little tiny roll over is just starting right now. We are seeing it first in the top end (like luxury real estate), where the currency that was created by the central banks went to that 0.1% first. Within the next few years you are going to see probably the greatest crash in history. I have often said that the crisis of 2008 was just a speed bump on the way to the main event. We are in the process right now of seeing this unwind."

New DNC Chair Says Outrage Over Clinton's Pay-To-Play Is Attempt To "Criminalize Normal Behavior"

"This notion that, somehow or another, that someone who is a donor saying I want access...we often criminalize behavior that is normal. And I don’t see what the smoke is."

Ron Paul: The Right Lessons From Obamacare's Meltdown

The problems plaguing the health care system are rooted in the treatment of health care as a "right." This justifies government intervention in the health care marketplace. This intervention causes increasing prices and declining quality and supply. Ironically, those who suffer most from government intervention are the very people proponents of these programs claim to want to help.

Jack Lew Furious After Europe Set To Hit Apple With "Largest Tax Penalty Ever"

Just minutes after the excitement over Apple's new product announcement hit, The FT drops a rather more painful headline stating that Apple will on Tuesday be hit with Europe’s largest tax penalty after Brussels ruled that the company received illegal state aid from Ireland. Despite Treasury Secretary Lew's pleas/demands just a week ago that the EU back off, the company will have to pay billions of euro in back taxes to Dublin as the European Commission moves to redraw the boundaries on aggressive tax avoidance by the world’s biggest corporations.

The Apotheosis Of Bubble Finance - Folly Of The FANGs, Part 1

"The trouble is, financial prices cannot be falsified indefinitely. At length, they become the subject of a pure confidence game and the risk of shocks and black swans that even the central banks are unable to off-set. Then the day of reckoning arrives in traumatic and violent aspect."

Oil Extends Losses As 'Short-Squeeze' Ammo Is Now Exhausted

WTI Crude is now down 6% from last week's highs, back below $47 as supply concerns (Abu Dhabi production rise and ConocoPhilips' CEO comments) and OPEC freeze talks doubts have combined with the biggest collapse in speculative short positions in history (following the Saudi statement) - removing the last 'short-squeeze' leg of support from this dead-cat-bounce.

This Is The Way The World Ends...

Would fate permit it, the election of Hillary Clinton will be the supreme and perhaps terminal act in an Anything-Goes-And-Nothing-Matters society. Her reward in office may be to dodge indictment for four years while the nation crumbles around her. This is the way the world ends: not with a bang or a whimper but with a cackle.

US Bank Stocks Surge To 2016 Highs Despite Collapse In Yield Curve To 9 Year Lows

US bank stocks are exuberantly listening to mainstream media pushers as the hopes of a double-rate-hike-rainbow has sent S&P Financials to their highest since Dec 2015. However, despite the rise in implied rate-hike odds, the Treasury curve is utterly collapsing (which is what really matters for NIM) with 2s30s now at its lowest since 2007...

German Vice Chancellor Warns UK "Must Pay For Brexit" Or Europe Would Go "Down The Drain"

German vice chancellor Sigmar Gabriel slammed Britain, saying the island nation must not be allowed to “keep the nice things” that come with EU membership without taking responsibility for the fallout from Brexit. Gabriel warned if the issue was badly handled and other member countries followed Britain’s lead, Europe would go “down the drain” adding that "if we organise Brexit in the wrong way, then we’ll be in deep trouble."

What Life Will Be Like After an Economic Collapse

by Megan Stewart, Survival Sullivan:
If you have been waiting for a public announcement or news headline to let you know that an economic collapse has begun, you are in for the surprise of your life. If history in other countries and in Detroit, Michigan is any indication, there won’t be an announcement. An economic collapse tends to sneak up on a city, region, or country gradually over time. In some cases, the arrival of an economic collapse is so gradual that most people living in it aren’t even aware of it at first.
Things just get gradually worse, often so gradually that people and families adjust as best they can until one day they actually realize that it’s not just their home or their neighborhood that has been hit so hard financially, it’s everyone. By that time, it’s often too late to take preventative action.

Are Germans Getting Fed Up With Muslim Migrants?

by Michael Ware, Freedom OutPost:
The clash of culture can be trying on all involved. Even those who would support the move to accept asylum seekers would have to admit that the transition has been a bumpy one. The reason is that Muslims and Humanists do not see things the same way. So, in Germany, the German people are faced with a situation that can be dangerous.
The people living with and around the migrants are finding that they are facing the brunt of the difficulty. It is their wives and daughters that face the fear of attack. They and not the politicians are the ones that face the daily danger of terror attacks. So, one group is seeking to voice their frustration.

The Economy is Doing Great! Oh, Wait a Minute … – Nathan McDonald

by Nathan McDonald, Sprott Money:
The mainstream media continue to spin this narrative that all is well in the economy. They have to paint this beautiful and rosy picture for the public and hope beyond all hope that they will buy into it, hook, line and sinker.
This is a topic that I have talked about much in the past. It is the game they play and a game they love, called MOPE. Jim Sinclair is the founder of this term, but not its creator. He also has pointed out this strategy for years and shown those of us who are awake the blatant deception that the mainstream media orchestrates on the public, on a daily basis.

It’s Time To Imagine A Post-Police World … Here’s Why Abolishing The Police Is Not A Crazy Idea

by Claire Bernish, Activist Post:
Are police necessary? Although this existential question often produces a knee-jerk ‘of course they are, who would protect us?’ a growing call for the abolition of police — and working examples to back it up — deserves more than scornful dismissal, particularly amid epidemic-level violence by agents of the State.
Police are under no obligation to protect the public they putatively serve — a series of state and Supreme Court decisions stretching back more than three decades indisputably establish this fact — so the lingering question, ‘who will protect us?’ is of no consequence to the case for dismantling every police department in the nation.
