Paul Ryan "Begged On One Knee" For Obamacare Repeal Vote

In September 2008, Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson reportedly begged House speaker Nancy Pelosi on one knee to support his bailout plan - it worked.

The Curse Of 'The Thinking Class'

Solid 2-Year Auction: Highest Indirects Since February 2016

After last month's stellar 2 Year auction, today's issuance of $26 billion in 2 year paper was a bit of a let down, printing at a yield of 1.261%, or a 0.1 bp tail to the 1.260% When Issued. However, the internals were decidedly better with the highest Indirect bid going back to February 2016.


"Traders Have Lost Confidence In Their Ability To Trade"

You’re Censored Because “Someone Might Get the Wrong Idea”

by Jon Rappoport, No More Fake News:
Recently, I was a guest on a radio show. At one point, I cited a mainstream journal review I have mentioned many times—the famous 2000 Journal of the American Medical Association revelation by Dr. Barbara Starfield, which concluded that the US medical system kills 225,000 people a year in the US.
The interviewer asked whether mentioning this could dangerously convince people not to go to a doctor, when they should see a doctor.
I hadn’t heard that gem in a long time.
—Maybe you shouldn’t talk about this, because it could give people the wrong idea—

Gold and Silver Climb on Sunday Open as Dollar Within 70 bps of Critical 200 day Moving Average

by Kenneth Schortgen, The Daily Economist:
As markets opened for Asian trading on Sunday evening in the Western time zones, the dollar continued its slide downward following the House’s failure to bring about a healthcare vote to the floor. And with gold moving up nearly $10 in the first couple hours of global trading, it may only be a matter of days or even hours before the dollar falls below, and gold crosses above, their 200 day moving averages.
On Friday the dollar index showed a close for the USD of 99.77, and had already dropped below its 50 and 100 day moving averages earlier in the week. And with Congress appearing to be in a stalemate following the healthcare vote debacle, the markets are not trusting in the legislature to be able to deal with upcoming debt ceiling discussion that is currently ticking down for the government.

Lavrov Gives Landmark Speech: New Centers of Economic Power Will End US ‘Global Domination’

from Russia Insider:
This is perhaps one of Sergei Lavrov’s finest addresses. It needs to be read in its entirety to fully appreciate the scale and depth of Lavrov’s observations — although we’ve provided a very short excerpt for those with short attention spans.
Lavrov’s driving thesis is that the U.S.-led global order has abandoned the concepts of state sovereignty and international law, choosing political expediency over consensus.

Couldn’t Hit an Elephant

by Jeff Thomas, International Man:
“They couldn’t hit an elephant at this distance.”
Those are purported to be the last words of General John Sedgwick, spoken as he observed distant Confederate troops during the 1864 Battle of Spotsylvania in Virginia. (Historians debate as to whether these were his very final words or amongst his final words, but there is no debate as to whether he then received a mortal bullet wound to his face.)
Going back a bit further, British Prime Minister Lord North commented in 1774, with regard to the rebellious American colonies, “Four or five frigates will do the business without any military force.”

$10 Trillion Missing From Pentagon And No One — Not Even The DoD — Knows Where It Is

by Claire Bernish, Activist Post:
Over a mere two decades, the Pentagon lost track of a mind-numbing $10 trillion — that’s trillion, with a fat, taxpayer-funded “T” — and no one, not even the Department of Defense, knows where it went or on what it was spent.
Even though audits of all federal agencies became mandatory in 1996, the Pentagon has apparently made itself an exception, and — fully 20 years later — stands obstinately orotund in never having complied.
Because, as defense officials insist — summoning their best impudent adolescent — an audit would take too long and, unironically, cost too much.
