Which
Corporations Own The White House. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 12/15/2015
The president and his top advisers have kept an open door
for CEOs of Fortune 100 companies, keeping almost 1,000 appointments
with them, a
Reuters review of White House records shows. Of the hundreds of
appointments listed, Obama himself was present at about half. As the
corrupting hand of government intervention spreads, so CEOs and the White House
have become allies in advocating for immigration reform, the Trans-Pacific
Partnership trade deal and reauthorization for the Export-Import Bank. So
who really owns The White House? www.zerohedge
[ In this art there is a mis-interpretation
on Mises 1932 statements regarding State intervention and free-market economy.
We should not confuse “free-market economy” with “current neoliberalism” . The
later is based on fraudulent speculation (not in competition among productive
capitalist) but on vulture-capitalism..plus genocidal-militarism and printing QEs money to
save financial crocks (via bailouts) . In
the time of Hitler the failure of capitalism was done by market-monopolization by
west corporations that defeated
Germany in WWI. In fact it was Hitler’s “interventionist-welfare state” that saved Germany capitalism asphyxiated by
the heavy sanctions imposed on them by West allies. The same is happening today with the neo-nazi
regime in Germany. It is the “welfare-state interventionism” that is saving Germany from the current neoliberal
crisis. The real killer of “free-market” is today neoliberalism based on
speculation & fraud. This economic system was imposed by the US & UK since the 1985 (Washington
Consensus in the US), this system is the
real killer of productive capitalism and
market economy. So, do not use Mises as “story-tale” to cover up the current neoliberal crisis. Today is neoliberalism the real killer of free-market
economy. ]
Extracts
So who really owns The White House?
Since the economic downturn of 2008, the critics of
capitalism have redoubled their efforts to persuade the American people and
many others around the world that the system of individual freedom and free
enterprise has failed.
The first observation to make is that many if not most of
the social and economic misfortunes that are most frequently talked about are not
the product of a “failed” free enterprise. The reason for this is that a
consistently practiced free enterprise system no longer exists in the United
States.
[ ON von Mises old story..]
As
we detailed previously, the Austrian economist, Ludwig von Mises, described
this twisted, corrupted, and politicized capitalism over 80 years ago,
in 1932, in an essay on “The Myth of the Failure of Capitalism,” published
shortly before the coming of Hitler and the Nazi movement to power.
As Ludwig von Mises said, the political and economic crises
through which the world suffers is not the crisis or failure of the free
market. No, it is the crisis and failure of the
interventionist-welfare state, and its anti-free market capitalist ideology.
[ In the time of Hitler
the
failure of capitalism was not the failure of free market, .. In the time of
Hitler the market was monopolized by west
corporations that defeated Germany
in WWI. In fact it was Hitler’s “interventionist-welfare state” that saved Germany capitalism asphyxiated by
the heavy sanctions imposed on them by West allies. And such “welfare-state interventionism” is
now saving Germany from the current neoliberal crisis. The real killer of
“free-market” is today neoliberalism based on speculation & fraud. It is
neoliberal economics imposed by the US since the 1985 (Washington Consensus) that kills productive capitalism. So,
do not use Mises as “story-taler” to cover up the current neoliberal crisis. Today is neoliberalism the real killer of free-market economy.]

Denmark To Confiscate Gold, Jewelry, & Valuables From Refugees. S-by Tyler Durden on 12/15/2015

“Danish border guards may confiscate gold, jewelry,
diamonds, and other valuables from refugees as they enter the country (though
wedding rings are now off limits). The Danish government’s excuse is that
they need to confiscate assets from refugees in order to pay for the services
they’re providing to those same refugees.”

Did
Saudi Arabia Just Clear The Way For An Invasion Of Syria And Iraq?. S-by
Tyler
Durden on 12/15/15
Just last week, controversial Shiite lawmaker Hanan Fatlawi
suggested that John McCain was planning to coordinate with the Saudis, Qatar,
the UAE, and Turkey on a troop deployment to number 100,000 in Iraq. With the
announcement of a new, 34 country military alliance, deputy crown prince and
Defense Minister Mohammed bin Salman might have just verified Fatlawi's claims. WWW.ZEROHEDGE
[ SI LOS SAUDIS están detrás de la invasion Turka a Irak.. No
sería eso suficiente razón 1ro para sacar los invasores y 2do para usar la
respuesta y dar el golpe a los
jihadistas “sunis” del reino Saudi en su propia casa?. Si de verdad se quiere
frenar al ISIS.. pues ahí está el hilo de la madeja. ]

Investor Warning Signs For 2016.
by
Michael Pento via Contra Corner blog, Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 12/15/2015
[ This article shows how the
“economic expansion” via fraud y nasty speculation.. created inside America the
explosive inequality we have now.. the 1%
of crock rich “investors” became richer & and the working classes
poorest since salaries were stagnated.. while middle classes almost disappeared
.. The rich in America not only ruined our nation but also entire countries of
the world submitter to the “vulture capital” .. And this art shows also that
this type of neoliberal economics cannot reproduce itself any-longer .. not
unless a nuke war allows the devastation, plunder and division of Russia &
China. However, Russia and China are ready to retaliate if the US lunches the 1st
nuke strike. Our country will be totally destroyed if that happens. .. Our nation will
experience the suffering of Hiroshima & Nagazaki multipled by 1000.. Why
this human catastrphy?.. to save the privileges of the 1% of Americans?. ..
This nation won’t allow that and much less the international community... The
neoliberal system has become obsolete and it is time to abandon our hegemonistic false supremacy. It is time to save our human resources & our
productive capital to rebuilt our nation by designing a post-neoliberal system
to replace this obsolete one.]
HERE EXTRACTS
Wall Street’s proclivity to create serial equity bubbles off
the back of cheap credit has once again
set up the middle class for disaster. The warning signs of this next
correction have now clearly manifested, but are being skillfully obfuscated and trivialized by financial institutions.
Nevertheless, here are ten salient warning signs that astute investors should
heed as we roll into 2016.
1.The Baltic Dry
Index, a measure of shipping rates and a barometer for worldwide
commodity demand, recently fell to its lowest level since 1985. This index
clearly portrays the dramatic decrease in global trade and forebodes a
worldwide recession.
2. Further validating this
significant slowdown in global growth is the CRB index, which measures
nineteen commodities. After a modest recovery in 2011, it has now dropped below
the 2009 level—which was the nadir of the Great Recession.
3. Nominal GDP growth for the
third quarter of 2015 was just 2.7%. The problem is Ms. Yellen wants to
begin raising rates at a time when nominal GDP is signaling deflation and
recession. The last time the Fed began a rate hike cycle was in the second
quarter of 2004. Back then nominal GDP was a robust 6.6%. Furthermore, the last
several times the Fed began to raise interest rates nominal GDP ranged between
5%-7%.
4. The Total Business Inventories
to Sales Ratio shows an ominous overhang: sales are declining as
inventories are increasing. This has been the hallmark of every previous
recession.
5. The Treasury Yield curve, which measures the
spread between 2 and 10 Year Notes, is narrowing.
6. S&P 500 Non-GAAP earnings for the third
quarter were down 1%, and on a GAAP basis earnings plummeted 14%.
7. The rising US dollar is hurting the revenue and
earnings of multi-national companies.
8. Recent data confirms that the US is currently in a
manufacturing recession:
- The November ISM Manufacturing Index entered into contraction for the first time in 36 months posting a reading of 48.6. This is a decline from the anemic October reading of 50.1 and marked the fifth straight month this index was in decline.
- The Chicago purchasing manager’s index (PMI) came in at 48.7 for November signaling contraction. [plus two more cases ]
9. Credit Spreads are widening as investors flee
corporate debt for the safety of Treasuries.
10. The S&P 500 is at the second highest valuation in
its history:
- The Cyclically Adjusted Price-Earnings (CAPE) ratio, was19 in November, a value greater than 25 indicates that the stock market is overpriced in comparison to its earnings history. The CAPE ratio has averaged 17 going back to 1881. [5 more arguments in this regard ]
Conclusion:
This current “economic expansion” is now 78 months old, making it one of the
longest in U.S. history. [ ONLY THE 1% OF AMERICANS BENEFIT FRON THIS SYSTEM ]

Saudi
Royal Family Announces Its New Global Sunni Military Empire. Posted on December 15, 2015 by Eric Zuesse. An official announcement from the world’s
leading, and most fundamentalistic, Sunni Islamic nation, Saudi Arabia, on
Tuesday December 15th, has introduced a Sunni-Islamic counterpart to NATO, and
it includes one NATO member, Turkey, which is already at war against NATO’s
enemy Russia, and against Russia’s ally the non-sectarian, secular Shiite,
Bashar al-Assad, who runs Syria. The Sauds’ “Joint Statement on
Formation of Islamic Military Alliance” has been signed by 34 Sunni-led
nations, with “more than ten other Islamic countries” that “have expressed
their support for this … alliance and will take the necessary measures” to
join, “including Indonesia” (the highest-population Islamic-majority nation).
All of those “Islamic countries” are specifically Sunni-led, not
Shiite-led. The two
top importers of U.S. weapons are #1 Saudi Arabia, and #2 Turkey.

Why does the Participation Rate matter? Intuitively, we all understand that the
lower the participation rate (i.e. the percentage of the population with a job
or actively looking for a job), the greater the tax burden on the remaining
workers.
We all understand
that as the number of workers supporting each retiree declines, the remaining
workers will have less income to support their own families, as the rising
costs of retirees must be paid with higher taxes in our pay-as-you-go social
and healthcare programs such as Social Security and Medicare /Medicaid.
