The
Greek "White Knight" Emerges: Putin To Give Athens €5 Billion For
Advance Gas Pipeline Fees. Submitted
by Tyler Durden on 04/18/2015. With Greece
teetering on the edge of insolvency and forced to raid pension and most other
public funds, ahead of another month of heavy IMF repayments which has prompted
even the ECB to speculate Greece should introduce a parallel "IOU"
currency, a white knight has appeared out of nowhere for Greece, one who may
offer $5 billion in urgently needed cash. The white knight is none other
than Vladimir Putin.

Hillary Cronyism Revealed: Cisco Used Clinton Foundation To Cover-up Human

from her tenure on the board of Walmart, to the Wall Street execs whom she
surrounded herself with at the State Department, to her allegiance to Cisco,
even as it violated principles on which she staked her tenure,”

Did
Presidential Candidate, Marco Rubio, Make A Deal With The Devil?. Submitted
by Tyler Durden on 04/18/2015. Is mainstream media
really going to ignore that Marco Rubio’s campaign is named after the late
1990?s think tank called a ‘Project for a New American Century’ (PNAC), founded
by Head Neocon – Bill Kristol? And this is no coincidence. Guess who’s
doing the Sunday talk show circuit campaigning for a Rubio presidency?

"More
Than Half Of All Global Government Bonds Are Yielding 1% Or Less".
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/18/2015. Just two facts to
best describe the New Paranormal:
1. Central bank assets now exceed $22 trillion, a
figure equivalent to the combined GDP of US & Japan
2. 53% of all global government bonds are yielding 1% or less
2. 53% of all global government bonds are yielding 1% or less
Good luck with that "renormalization."

The
Global Liquidity Squeeze Has Begun. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 04/18/2015. The entire global financial system resembles a
colossal spiral of debt. Just about all economic activity involves the flow of
credit in some way, and so the only way to have “economic growth” is to
introduce even more debt into the system. Unfortunately, any system based on
debt is going to break down eventually, and there are signs that it is starting
to happen once again.

The World
Has Gone M.A.D.. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 04/18/2015. A game you can't win? . “Mutual Assured
Destruction only works when the other
side does not want to die”.
[MAD does not depend on the wants of either side, much less if one side doesn’t want to die because believe has the power to destroy totally the other side if make a demolishing first strike. 1st, this is not a game between jihadists in which one person or nation immolated their life to cause hundred time worse damages in the other side. So far the US-NATO have selected two countries for immolation: either Israel or Ukraine, or both of them at the same time. MAD departs from the premise that neither side nor Nation-State wants to die (neither Americans nor Russians). Ask Israeli people or Kiev people if they are ready to sacrifice their life to save the plutocrats of the US-EU?. 2nd, MAD depart from the fact that nuclear power destruction accumulated at this point in both sides is more than enough to wipe out simultaneously both central sides, plus their periphery and neutral territories. 3rd, satellites and nuclear tech can detect automatically the lunching of a nuclear missile from either side and respond with a devastating storm of missiles. That is the point of departure in MAD: the impossibility of containing a response from the other side. Otherwise long time ago the US & NATO allies (the ones that “does not want to die”) would’ve bombed RU & ChIna. 4th, MAD’s thesis emerged soon after the failure of the first attempt to dismantle nuclear bombs. That happens long time ago, and since that time both sides prepares themselves to respond to a first strike.] http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-04-18/world-has-gone-mad Original source: Investors.com.
[In fact “investors” in wars
are the first target if nuclear war breaks up. It happens so during the economic
terrorism of sanctions against Russians today and logically it will happens in
return]

Modern-Day
Monetary Cranks and the Fed's "Inflation" Target. Submitted
by Tyler Durden on 04/18/2015. The science of
economics has taken a decidedly wrong turn sometime in the 1930s. In the
field of monetary science specifically, sober analysis has given way to
broad-based support of central economic planning, with both policy makers
and their advisors seemingly trying to trump each other with ever more lunatic
proposals.

World
Ponders Life After US Hegemony. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 04/18/2015. We've long argued that the implications of the shift
away from a global economic order that has prevailed since the end of WWII are
far reaching and may include the demise of what has largely been a unilateral
political and economic system characterized by the dominance of US foreign
policy and Western notions of politics and capitalism. Now, it appears as
though de-dollarization and the end of US hegemony may have gone viral because,
as The NY Times reports, a US “retreat” from the world order it has largely
shaped was the unspoken topic de jour at this year’s spring meeting of the IMF
and World Bank in Washington.

2007
All Over Again? Let Us Count The Ways (And Remember What Happened Then).
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/18/2015. Extreme optimism - whether
in the form of stock valuations, consumer spending, or happiness surveys like
the one mentioned below - tends to be followed by corrections; because to
get to an extreme point in a data series, extreme behavior is usually required.
That is, a lot of really optimistic investment decisions have to be made to
push financial markets to cyclical highs, and these kinds of moves tend to
exhaust themselves and produce big moves in the other direction. Hence
the 2008 low following the 2007 high.

Did
Germany Secretly Fund Israel's Nuclear Weapons?. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 04/18/2015. The conservative German daily Die Welt, well-known
for its unflinching support for Israel, recently published an article stating “with
near certainty” that the Federal Republic of Germany, or West Germany, helped
finance Israel’s nuclear program in the 1960s. The Welt report comes after
former Israeli President Shimon Peres (who was the head of Israel’s
nuclear-weapons program at the time of its inception in the 1950s) denied that
funding for Israel’s nukes came from Germany earlier this month.

Chicago
Credit Risk Soars On Rahm Emanuel's Re-Election. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 04/18/2015. It appears the re-election of Rahm Emanuel as
Chicago Mayor has done nothing to assuage concerns about the city's insolvency.
As Emanuel's victory became more assured, credit risk (measured by the spread
between Chicago Muni yields and Treasury yields) has soared from 180bps to over
240bps. Furthermore, it has accelerated even more since the April 7th election.

Has The
Fed Already Lost?. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 04/18/2015. At some point, maybe sooner than later, the US
economy will re-enter recession. Historically, that's the time when the Fed
would lower interest rates in attempt to spur economic growth. But today,
interest rates are already at 0%. That's what's so dangerous for the Fed
about its current ZIRP policy -- it leaves no gunpowder left in the
low-interest-rate bazooka. The Fed will enter its next battle defenseless. This
is clearly a situation the Fed wants to avoid, so raising rates - soon - is
an urgent priority. But... practically, can the Fed (and other central
banks) really raise rates now without killing the already-moribund global
economy?.
