Who's Behind The Portland Riots? 60% Of Arrested Anti-Trump Protesters Were From Out Of State, Didn't Vote

Two months ago, Charlotte police confirmed that 70% of those arrested during the riots were from out-of-state. 18 months before that, as the riots flared in Ferguson, George Soros spurred the protest movement through years of funding and mobilizing groups across the U.S., according to financial records reviewed by The Washington Times. And now, amid more headlines of Soros' involvement, KGW reports that more than half of the anti-Trump protesters arrested in Portland were from out of state.

Death Threats & Other Market Signals

Prior to the election, investors didn’t believe there was much operating leverage available in corporate America.  Slow revenue growth, slow inflation, slow wage growth, slow earnings growth.  That was the recipe for next year. Now, expectations for better economic growth have markets scrambling to find companies with the operating leverage (read high fixed costs and high incremental margins) to show outsized earnings growth as a result.

Donna Brazile Slams CNN, Blames Former Employer For "Ripping Me A New One"

Donna Brazile, the interim chair of the Democratic National Committee and former CNN contributor, went after her former employer at an event at a women’s college in Virginia Monday, blaming them for “ripping me a new one” instead of allowing her to defend herself after it was revealed she had tipped off Hillary Clinton to town hall questions.

Tuesday Humor? President Obama Self-Delusion Edition

Speaking in Greece at the beginning of his 'save my legacy' world tour, President Obama just uttered the following words... "the healthy majority of Americans agree with my world-view on many things." Coming just a week after the biggest loss for the Democratic party in decades... if not ever... this has to be comedy?

Ray Dalio: This Is What Donald Trump's Presidency Will Look Like

"Our very preliminary assessment is that on the economic front, the developments are broadly positive.  In fact, it is possible that we might have very capable policy makers of the previously mentioned ideological persuasion in control."

"Do We Have A Liquidity Problem Post-Criris?" Fed Vice Chair Fischer Answers - Live Feed

Vice Chairman Stanley Fischer is speaking at the Brookings Institution in Washington, on the topic of "Do We Have a Liquidity Problem Post-Crisis?"  Fischer's answer is that "liquidity is adequate by most measures, in most markets, and most of the time" and adds that it is “certainly too soon to declare that a broad reduction in market liquidity has occurred" although he admits that flash events may be more frequent.

Saudi Arabia Warns Trump Not To Block Oil Imports

Saudi Arabia's first attempt at engaging with Donald Trump amounts to what is effectively a thinly veiled threat wrapped as a warning. As the FT reports, "Saudi Arabia has warned Donald Trump that the incoming US president will risk the health of his country’s economy if he acts on his election promises to block oil imports."

A Trump Doctrine - "America First"

The opportunity is at hand for Trump to reconfigure U.S. foreign policy to the world we now inhabit, and to the vital interests of the United States. The ideal time for such a declaration, a Trump Doctrine, is when the president-elect presents his secretaries of state and defense.

"Is The Market Wrong?": Financial Conditions Are Tightening At An Alarming Pace

Higher rates and a stronger dollar are making money tighter: so tight in fact, that some are wondering if the Fed's next move may be to delay the next rate hike, if not proceed to outright easing.

Oil Surges To 'Algiers' Lows After Obama Statement & Well-Timed OPEC Headline

Just as Morgan Stanley warned, be careful getting too bearish into the OPEC meeting as OPEC's ability to engineer a short-squeeze (via well-placed but meaningless headlines) trumps any dismal fundamentals. Sure enough, WTI is surging by the most in 7 weeks to pre-Algiers levels on spurious headlines today, which builds on a reversal yesterday that started as President Obama discussed the Iran Deal.

French Government Creates Illegal Database On Over 60 Million Citizens

By setting up a single database centralizing information on the entire French population behind their backs, France’s Socialist Party (PS) government is giving the state vast repressive powers. Coming amid the state of emergency, it constitutes a fundamental threat to democratic rights, in particular to opposition within the working class to austerity and war.

The VIX Is Dead: According To The BIS, This Is The New "Fear Indicator"

"The VIX index – the famed “fear gauge” – no longer has any explanatory power for leverage... The mantle of the barometer of risk appetite and leverage has slipped from the VIX, and has passed to the dollar."

Why Most of the U.S. Deep State Dumped Hillary: A Saker Interview with the Solari Report’s Catherine Austin Fitt

from Rogue Money:
Der Spiegel and the Useless Obso-elites of the Fading Atlanticist Order
It isn’t of course, the end of the world as the cover of Germany’s Time magazine Der Spiegel proclaimed this week, with an image of the dinosaur killing Trump-asteroid burning into the Earth’s atmosphere (once again showing that the dying mainstream media’s editors remain in denial that they’re the dinosaurs and the new media are the furry creatures at their feet who will survive the great extinction event). Just the great culling of what the late Harvard political science professor Samuel P. Huntington, who foresaw the reemergence of nationalism before his death in 2008, dubbed ‘Davos Men’. That is, the Trumpening is indeed signaling the irrelevance and hence uselessness to their bankster hosts of obso-elites like the Swedish political hack Carl Bildt, who are more famous for being famous in pseudo-intellectual and Euro-bureaucratic circles than any actual accomplishments.

Donald Trump and the Equilibrium to Come

by Phil Butler, New Eastern Outlook:
The news these last few days has been all about the radical left being up in arms over Donald Trump’s ascendency to the US Presidency. The massive upset victory of this charismatic non-politician is crystallizing into a very divisive situation in the United States and in Europe, as EU leaders and NATO nations paint a geo-political picture of gloom and doom for us. However negative the picture may seem though, the shiny side of this leadership coin shows a glowing promise. Here’s my take on what is about to happen when Donald Trump is inaugurated.
Donald Trump did not win this election on any of the bases which Clinton’s supporters profess. This is crucial to accept if we are to understand what is about to happen. Trump is not a bigot, a racist, nor is he some misogynistic woman hater. Trump is a product of both American progress and to an extend hyper-capitalism. His “locker room” talk resonates no more resoundingly than his anti-establishment diatribe against the Washington elites. For those who have watched him over the years, it is so clear the man just says what he thinks at the moment. He said he would “drain the swamp” of politically corrupt in Washington, and I think he is about to. He also said , if he was elected, he would install a special prosecutor to investigate and indict Hillary Clinton for her part in illegal activities. Those out there demonstrating do not fully understand “who” it is there are demonstrating on behalf of, nor do they understand the breadth of criminality and malfeasance Mr. Trump has suggested. WikiLeaks opened the investigation to the court of public opinion, and this is why Donald Trump is the President-elect now.

Liberal Protesters Surround Police, Try to Free Rioters who were being Arrested!

by Onan Coca, Freedom OutPost:
This is the truth of these lawless and violent sometime anarchists on the left – they have no respect for our values, our tradition, or our laws. How do we know? We know because any time the left in America loses a political battle they refuse to acknowledge their loss and instead respond like spoiled children who have been cheated of their due.
Consider this – how many riots do you remember in the wake of President Obama’s election victories in 2008 or 2012? None? In fact, the closest we on the right came to rioting was the peaceful rallies we held protesting Obamacare and the massive taxation and regulation of the Obama era. None of these rallies ever grew violent, even though the media was almost constantly painting them as such. Meanwhile, one week after Donald Trump’s election victory and we’ve already seen many protests, several riots, thousands of dollars in property damage and dozens of arrests.

CONGRESSMAN DROPS TRUMP WALL BOMBSHELL… MEXICO IS FREAKING OUT!!!

The Globalist Agenda is Still in Play

by Rory Hall, Sprott Money:
The curtain has been pulled back and the rot is clear to see for anyone who wishes to use the lens of reality. Never mind the now-exposed propaganda of the mainstream media and federal government. The masses in the United States seem to be on edge due to the fact the illusion has been exposed. They are both horrified of this new reality and terrified of these so-called leaders at the same time. They are living under the misguided belief that Trump is going to change all of this.
We see the youth of this country, ill-equipped to deal with reality, are now acting like the spoiled brats they were raised to be. The destruction of private property, the beating of innocent people and idle threats of assassination of the President-Elect expose how well the illusion has worked for the past thirty years. The youth were taught by their parents that if you don’t get your way, you throw a temper-tantrum and you will eventually get the piece of candy. No need for winners and losers, as they have been taught they are all winners. This may be one of the worst illusions perpetuated by the mainstream media propaganda machine working in conjunction with the ill-equipped parents of these overly privileged brats.

Trump Victory, Israel Reset?

from TRU News:
Middle East talks warn that a Trump victory will be good for Israel and could set off a whole new set of rules in the region.
An Israeli cabinet member reportedly stated that Donald Trump being elected as the next U.S. president presents Israel with a unique opportunity to recast its Middle East policies.
Naftali Bennett, leader of the religious-nationalist Jewish Home party and a staunch proponent of Israeli settlement building, said it was now up to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to communicate to the U.S. administration and the world what he wanted and push for it.

Giuliani’s Track Record Shows He’s the Wrong Man to Lead Justice Department

by Pam Martens and Russ Martens, Wall St On Parade:
Rudy Giuliani is said to be under serious consideration by President-elect Donald Trump to lead the U.S. Department of Justice as Attorney General. There are a number of serious problems with Giuliani serving in this post, including his track record of stomping on the Bill of Rights and his employment as a law partner with Greenberg Traurig, a corporate law firm with a long history of lobbying for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to weaken protections for the average citizen.

Left-Wing Violence in Wake of Trump Victory Won’t Stop Until America Completely Shuns the Corrupt ‘Mainstream Media’

by J. D. Heyes, Natural News:
In the days following President-elect Donald J. Trump’s historic upset victory over the mainstream media’s (MSM’s) handpicked candidate, Hillary Clinton, demonstrations, violence and threats of assassination against the real estate mogul-turned-politician have continued to proliferate. One of the main reasons for this is that the same MSM is using the opportunity to further propagandize Trump’s victory and make it seem as though a sizeable portion of the country is against him.
That’s simply not true, and any logical, thinking person can figure that out, for if it were the case, Trump would not have won. But he did win, and in doing so he flipped millions of Obama voters to seal the deal.

Democrats Caused President Trump; They Caused His Victory

by Eric Zuesse, Washington’s Blog:
Here’s a video where Carey Wedler explains in her own thoroughly truthful way in just four minutes, how and why Democratic Party voters for Hillary Clinton in the Democratic Party primaries did more than perhaps any other single political group of Americans to help make Donald Trump become America’s President. But here, in my own equally truthful way, which you can easily verify for yourself by simply clicking onto a link anywhere that you question a statement’s veracity (which, of course, can’t be done with any video), I’ll explain it, very differently:

Gold & Silver: Light At The End Of The Tunnel

by Dave Kranzler, Investment Research Dynamics:
Gold and silver and the mining stocks still have tremendous YTD gains despite the highly manipulated take-down that has been orchestrated since early Wednesday morning. The smash has been executed entirely in the paper derivatives in London and NYC. De rigeur for the Central Banks.
Eric Dubin discusses why we’ve probably seen the last of the downward manipulative pressure on gold and silver: Gold and Silver Decline Is Fading, Dow Rolling Over and Rory Hall published an article on Trump that accompanies the precious metals analysis and our Shadow of Truth episode to be released later today: The Trump Trojan Horse
