How
China's (Formerly) Richest Man Destroyed His Own Fortune When He Tried To Sell A
Stock. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/22/2015
One year ago, we explained "How The Market Is Like
CYNK." Earlier this week, China's richest man found out how right we were,
in the hardest way possible
[[ If neoliberal market killed this rich man is because this
system n’est pa march in China or because the new market economy do not need
this type of investor in its metamorphosis
to a new system .. How China is going to make compatible the competition
of a market capitalism with the vigilant State owned by a party system that
recruited the best human tech for the service to the whole nation?.. I don’t know… All that I know is that the
same problem we will have it here in America very soon, after the coming
collapse of the political and economic system .. in the process of building the
post-neoliberal market democracy .. to
which the project of FDR will be revisited : the Glass Steagall Act. ]]

Bank
Of England Accidentally E-mails Top-Secret Brexit Plan To Newspaper. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/22/2015.
The first rule of “Project Bookend” is that you don’t talk
about “Project Bookend.” In retrospect, maybe the first rule should have
been “you don’t accidentally e-mail ‘Project Bookend’ to a news agency.”
[[ Este viejo imperio
tampoco funciona .. nunca fue desmontado totalmente .. su decadente oligarquía
devino “prosperous” durante el neoliberalism de la Tatcher y Reagan .. su
pueblo quiere que esos felones sigan en el poder pero tras ese poder no hay nada
sino solo basura especulativa .. es la ilusión de riqueza inexistente lo que el
pueblo ama .. es vaguedad política transitoria lo que viven .. lo real es que los
banqueros del UK tienen que devolver el oro a paises europeos.. oro que ni
siquiera tienen en la cantidad que debieran
pues lo trasfirieron a “mejores postores” del mercado. El Brexit es la
unica solución y quieran o no, los
oligarcas tendrán que descentralizarse o perecer durante el proceso de
desmontaje de la unión, el Brexit ]]

Junk-Rated
Chicago Has A Billion Dollar Pension Problem. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 05/22/2015. In downgrading the city, Moody’s said it expected
“Chicago's credit challenges will continue, both in the near term and in the
long term [as] unfunded liabilities of the Municipal, Laborer, Police, and Fire
pension plans grow and exert increasing pressure on the city's operating
budget.” That looks to have been an accurate assessment, because as
Bloomberg reports, Chicago’s budget gap is set to triple by 2017.

Post: 10 Images That Suggest America Is Becoming A Lot Like Nazi Germany.
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/22/2015.
At the heart of Nazism was a desire to control everyone
and everything, and that is exactly what we are seeing in America today.
The history books tell us about how evil and wicked the Nazis were, so why
aren’t we more alarmed that the United States is becoming more like Nazi Germany
with each passing day? And even though our politicians are
socializing our economy and destroying our constitutional freedoms, the
American people keep sending most of them back to Washington time after
time. It is an incredibly sad thing to watch the country that you
love slowly die right in front of your eyes.
[Somos neo-nazis,
que duda cabe. Todos los imperios devienen brutales en su colapso y si no
logran controlar su “anger y fustration” perecerán también en forma brutal ..
pisados por el avance de los nuevos Atilas que ellos mismos crearon y que no
dejaran pasto por donde sus huestes de mercenarios .. El colapso es inevitable
.. lo que es evitable es la furia de los ofendidos, si con ellos se logra un
pacto no firmado ni convencional pero si realmente posible.. eso empieza con la
devolución de lo robado, el desmontaje de las barracas militares que además
serán blanco fácil si se las deja existentes, .. con el desmontaje de las empresas USA que
vivieron del pillaje, la opresión y la sobre-explotacion inhumanas .. y con el
desconocimiento de la deuda soberana impuesta a naciones en desarrollo.. Es la
unica garantía de que no venga la furia de la revancha ni el inesperado golpe
del boomerang letal que sin duda tendrá que regresar. Es la fuerza de la historia lo que habrá de primar]

"Strongly

"China said on Friday it was 'strongly dissatisfied'
after a U.S. military plane flew over part of the South China Sea near where
China is building artificial islands, and called on the United States to stop
such action or risk causing an accident."

It
Is Mathematically Impossible To Pay Off All Of Our Debt. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 05/22/2015.
Did you know that if you took every single penny away
from everyone in the United States that it still would not be enough to pay off
the national debt? Today, the debt of the federal government exceeds $145,000 per household, and it is getting
worse with each passing year. Many believe that if we paid it off a
little bit at a time that we could eventually pay it all off, but as you will
see below that isn’t going to work either.
[[ Que imperio la pago
en su retirada?.. Y que nación hoy sometida al imperio la habría de pagar? . La
respuesta es NINGUNO . Los alemanes le
dijeron claro a los griegos: no les devolveremos el oro que los nazis robaron

The State Department has released 850 pages of e-mails
from Hillary Clinton’s private e-mail address. Clinton has been under fire
for using a private e-mail server (as opposed to an official government account)
to discuss potentially sensitive matters of national security and foreign
policy during her tenure as the nation’s top diplomat. Specifically, there are
big questions about who knew what and when about an attack on US outposts in
Benghazi that killed US ambassador J. Christopher Stevens.

"Gold-Is-A-6000-Year-Bubble" Buiter Says A New Greek Currency
"Would Be Rubbish". Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 05/22/2015
Having shown his true colors in recent months by embarking
not just on an anti-gold crusade, but more
recently on an anti-cash mission, Citi's Willem Buiter has once again
exposed his newly minted CFR status-quo-embracing status this morning. During
an appearance on CNBC, Buiter
notes that there would be "havoc" if Greece left the euro zone and
adopted an alternative currency; but then he went on the pre-prescription
blasting that any kind of alternative currency tied to the euro "would
be rubbish." These comments come just hours after German FinMin
Schaeuble raised the possibility that Greece may need a parallel currency alongside
the euro if the country’s talks with creditors fail.

Street R.I.P. - The Bubble Is Dying At The Zero Bound. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 05/22/2015.
If any evidence was needed that the market is dying at the
zero bound, it came in this week’s violent 15-minute rip when the
algos read the Fed’s release to mean there will be no rate hike in June.
It put you in mind of monetary rigor mortis - the last spasm of something
that’s already dead but doesn’t know it. The Great Financial Bubble
dying at the zero bound has been inflating with just three interruptions -
1987, 2000 and 2008-09 - for the last 33 years. As a result,
the market value of stocks, bonds and other debts have simply become
decoupled from national income.

Why
The US Consumer Is About To be Crushed: The Obamacare Inflationary Deluge
Arrives. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 05/22/2015
For the past three years, the biggest argument supporters of
Obamacare would trot out every single time when faced with opposition to the
mandatory tax, would be that despite widespread predictions of soaring prices,
US medical care service costs had remained low and even, on occasion,
declined. All that changed moments ago when core US inflation finally
spiked the most since 2013 driven by a 0.7% monthly surge in medical care
service costs: the highest since 2007!

On a turbo-charged illiquid day ahead of the Memorial

Core
Consumer Prices Jump Most Since March 2006 Thanks To Surging Healthcare Costs.
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/22/2015. The market appears
to have chosen the hotter-than-expected Core CPI print (as opposed to weakest
headline CPI YoY print since Oct 2009 of -0.2%) as key. Core CPI rose 0.3%
MoM in April - the most since March 2006; and 1.8% YoY - the most since Jan 2013.
The biggest driver of the surge in consumer prices is medical care costs -
which rose 0.7% - the biggest increase since January 2007 (thanks
Obamacare).

Commissioner Furious That SEC Has Made A Mockery Of "Recidivist Criminal

"It is troubling enough to consistently grant
waivers for criminal misconduct. It is an order of magnitude more
troubling to refuse to enforce our own explicit requirements for such
waivers. This type of recidivism and repeated criminal misconduct
should lead to revocations of prior waivers, not the granting of a whole new
set of waivers. We have the tools, and with the tools the responsibility,
to empower those at the top of these institutions to create meaningful cultural
shifts, yet we refuse to use them. I am concerned that the
latest series of actions has effectively rendered criminal convictions of
financial institutions largely symbolic."
