Washington Post Names Drudge, Zero Hedge, & Ron Paul As Anti-Clinton "Sophisticated Russian Propaganda Tools"

Citing "two teams of independent researchers" who found "Russia’s increasingly sophisticated propaganda machinery...echoed and amplified right-wing sites across the Internet as they portrayed Clinton as a criminal," The Washington Post has named Drudge, Zero Hedge and Ron Paul (and many others) among the "useful idiots" that true American patriots should be wary of.

Wealth Destruction Of 90% Is Next

by Egon Von Greyerz, Gold Switzerland:
Very few people realise the enormous wealth transfer that will take place in the next 5 years. Most will lose 75-90% of their wealth and some 100%. What is interesting is that investors needn’t lose most of their money if they took a few measures to protect their fortune. I often speak to Family Offices who built fortunes from the $100s of million to many billions. Without exception, they believe that it is there skill in building a business or investing that has created these fortunes. It clearly requires a lot of skill and a bit of luck to build a sizeable fortune. But the magnitude of wealth today is not due to investment skills but to the enormous growth of credit and money printing that the world has experienced since the creation of the Fed in 1913. This has caused a global explosion in asset values of unparalleled proportions.

Trump The Great?

"If Trump can defeat the oligarchy and save America, he can go down in history as Trump the Great. I think that this prospect appeals to Trump more than more wealth. Instead of trying to tear him down in advance, he should be supported. With Trump’s determination and the people’s support, change from the top down is possible. Otherwise, change has to come from the bottom up, and that means an awful lot of blood in the streets."

Marc Hanson: "Houses Have Never Been More Expensive To Buyers Who Need A Mortgage"

Houses have never been more expensive to end-user, mortgage-needing shelter buyers. It now it requires 45% more income to buy the average-priced house than just four years ago, as incomes have not kept pace it goes without saying.  The recent rate surge has taken "UNAFFORDABILITY" to such extremes that prices, rates, and/or credit are now radically out of scope.

"The DryShips Market" - What Comes Next Is Anyone's Guess

"What comes next? Again, nobody knows for sure. All I know is the clock is now ticking into December 14th, that is irrefutable. That, and believing the “alarm” doesn’t go off before, and is totally under the Fed’s purview, is the only thing which everyone seems complacent in. Which to my mind – is just plain nuts."

Australia Cuts Clinton Foundation Donations To $0

After contributing $88mm to the Clinton Foundation over the past 10 years, making them one of the Foundation's largest contributors, Australia has decided to pull all future donations.  But why would they stop funding now that Hillary has so much more free time to focus on her charity work?

The 2014 Economy Lingers On Under The Hope For Something Different

At this stage of almost relatively euphoric sentiment, up-to-date economic statistics will be less meaningful because “markets” are seeing what they want to see about a future that is no longer captured strictly by more of the same. In other words, the future has suddenly become a blank canvas upon which to project all the positives that were once claimed about “stimulus” in the generic sense.

Trump Bypasses Media With Direct YouTube/Twitter Distribution As Feud With Mainstream Outlets Rages

Europe: Let's Self-Destruct!

A reasonable question that many Europeans might ask would be whether it is not perhaps time to review priorities?

Gold Options Traders Most Bearish Since July 2015

A Lion in Fiji: Berukoff Touts Buried Gold, Out of Country – Peter Diekmeyer

by Peter Diekmeyer, Sprott Money:
Walter Berukoff, CEO of Lion One Metals, illustrates in two sentences his fondness for precious metals. “My grandparents came here from Eastern Europe,” he explains. “What they brought with them was their gold.”
Berukoff’s grandparents weren’t alone. Decedents of slews of political and economic refugees relate similar experiences.
They explain in part Berukoff’s penchant for international opportunities, the latest of which is the Tuvatu gold play in the South Pacific Fiji island chain.

Louis Cammarosano: Interconnectedness of Silver Eagles and India’s War on Cash

by Rory Hall, via Silver Seek:
American Silver Eagle sales have been suspended for the year according to the Authorized Purchasers of U.S. Mint products. Once again, as we have seen in the past, the U.S. Mint makes a dramatic change without warning. Where else have we recently seen a very dramatic change in policy without warning? India announced, without warning, the ban of the most widely used bank notes in the country – without warning. While these are very different scenarios they demonstrate the absolute control governments around the world hold over our money and our currency. Silver, while tatted as an industrial metal, has been money longer than any other form of money on planet earth. Silver was money long before gold was accepted and circulated as money.

EU Politicians are Convinced that Tanks are the Best Remedy for Social Disparity

by Jean Perier, New Eastern Outlook:
Following in the wake of White House policy, European political elites have been stepping up their groundless rhetoric about the growing military threat of Russia, Iran, China, which is held up simply to achieve the further militarization of Europe at the expense of social benefits for its citizens.
In his recent speech at an event hosted by the German Marshall Fund of the United States, NATO‘s Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg announced that he expects a 3% increase in defence spending in Europe and Canada, however, he added, other than the US, only four NATO members are currently spending 2% of their GDP on defence.

UK Passes Bill Providing Most Extreme Spying Powers In The Developed World

by Darius Shahtahmasebi, Activist Post:
The House of Lords, the upper house of the U.K.’s parliament, just passed the Investigatory Powers Bill, legislation that provides immense spying powers to the British government. The government’s new surveillance privileges are virtually unrivaled across the globe.
The bill, which critics have deemed the “Snooper’s Charter,” will force internet companies to keep records on their users for up to a year. These records will be accessed by numerous government departments, and the law also allows the government to force companies to hack into products they have sold so consumers can be monitored. Under the newly passed legislation, the government can also ask these companies to make their devices less secure so communications can be intercepted. They can also mandate that companies encrypt their devices on demand.

Kiev Is Desperate to Provoke Russia Before Trump Is Sworn In

from Russia Insider:
First, it appeared to be a fluke: this summer the Ukronazi regime sent a small terrorist unit into Crimea tasked with blowing up several targets in the Crimea (see here for details). They were arrested by the Russian security services. In November, another two saboteurs were caught by the FSB (see here).
And now something really remarkable happened. The Ukronazi security service kidnapped two Russian citizens in broad daylight and accused them of being “deserters”. Turns out that the two kidnapped men are Maksim Odintsov and Alexander Baranov and that both of them are junior servicemen in the Russian military (ensign and junior sergeant).

That’s Weird… Woman Hillary “Bumped into” while “Grocery Shopping” Has Met Hillary Before

by Jim Hoft, The Gateway Pundit:
Hillary Clinton was spotted out shopping again… This time she was ‘shopping for groceries.’
It was totally random.
She hasn’t driven a car in 20 years. Now, since she got shellacked in the election, she’s been spotted all over the place doing ordinary things – like grocery shopping.
