Is
Congress Declaring War On ISIS... Or On You (& Your Cash)?. Submitted
by Tyler Durden
on 02/01/2016 : Passage of Senator Mitch McConnell’s authorization for war
against ISIS will not only lead to perpetual US wars across the globe, it
will also endanger our civil and economic liberties. The measure allows the
president to place troops anywhere he determines ISIS is operating. Therefore,
it could be used to justify using military force against United States citizens
on US territory. It may even be used to justify imposing martial law
in America.

World's
Largest Silver Producer Slams LBMA's "Manipulated" Fix. Submitted
by Tyler Durden
on 02/01/2016 : “The large discrepancy between the spot price and the fix
is very alarming to us especially that it happened twice in a row,”
The price is set every day by six participants – HSBC,
JPMorgan Chase Bank, Mitsui & Co Precious Metals, The Bank of Nova Scotia,
Toronto Dominion Bank and UBS – using a system run by CME and Thomson Reuters.
CME and Thomson Reuters won the battle to provide the
methodology and price platform for the daily process back in July 2014,
replacing the 117-year old fix in August that year under sweeping reforms of
the entire precious metals complex.

Here
Are The 3 Trades Hedgies Are Using To Bet On A Yuan Devaluation. Submitted
by Tyler Durden on 02/01/2016. : With an ever-increasing
horde of hedge fund "speculators" daring to confront The PBOC,
here is how they are placing theirs bets on Yuan devaluation...
In the forward FX market...
In the options market...
And in the CDS market...
Tracking these three indicators (CNH Spot-Forward spread and
Risk-Reversals) will provide indications both of speculative positioning as
well as market implied odds of a devaluation. Bank of America is
speculating that China will devalue before the Feb 27th G-20 meeting in
Shanghai and we also note that next week is Chinese lunar new year and Golden
Week... with banks closed, perhaps the perfect time to do a major devaluation?

Total
U.S. Debt Surpasses $19 Trillion; Rises $8.4 Trillion Under President Obama.
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 02/01/2016 : Two months ago,
when we calculated that the US would need a new debt ceiling of $19.6 trillion
to last until after Obama's tenure, we may have been overoptimistic: since the
hard limit of $18.15 trillion which was raised at the end of October, the US
appears to be growing its debt at a far faster pace than we had originally
expected, and according to the latest public debt data, as of the last day of
January, total US debt just hit 19,012,827,698,417.93.

POLITICS
THE DEMOCRACY
OF THE BILLIONAIRES. by Nomi Prins, originally posted at
TomDispatch.com, Submitted by Tyler Durden on 02/01/2016.
Introduction
Speaking of the need for citizen participation in our
national politics in his final State of the Union address, President Obama said, “Our
brand of democracy is hard.” A more accurate characterization might have
been: “Our brand of democracy is cold hard cash.” Cash, mountains
of it, is increasingly the necessary tool for presidential candidates. Several
Powerball jackpots could already be fueled from the billions of dollars in
contributions in play in election 2016. When considering the present
donation season, however, the devil lies in the details, which is why the
details follow.

Explaining
The "Rise Of The American Protest Vote": It's The "Popular
Discontent," Stupid. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 02/01/2016 : "Unless the root causes of popular discontent
are addressed (uneven growth, pockets of high unemployment and weak wage
growth), the protest vote is unlikely to go away. In fact, it may well
grow."

"Surely

these politicians get it? Don’t they understand that this influx of Muslims is
a disaster in the making?" . As in both of
the previous world wars, we shall see the charade play out again. Each country
in Europe will, in turn, join the war with “the enemy.” At some point, Russia
will get dragged in, either through an overzealous military action, or through
a false-flag attack, and a world war will be on.

EMERGENCY' - HIGHEST LEVEL OF ALERT. From the initial discovery in the heart
of Ugandan forest darkness to mysterious
genetically-modified Mosquitoes in Brazil, the newest threat to human

epidemic is spreading from its epicenter in Brazil -
threatening disaster at the Olympics with "female

"Prospects
For Social Disintegration Are Huge" As Wave Of Oil Refugees Looms. Submitted
by Tyler Durden
on 02/01/2016 : Today’s plunging oil prices will benefit a few. Motorists, once
again, will be happy; but the pain will be earth-shaking for many others.
Never mind the inevitable turmoil in global financial markets or the collapse
of shale-oil production in the United States and what it implies for energy
independence. The real risk lies in countries that are heavily dependent on
oil. As in the old Soviet Union, the prospects for social disintegration are
huge. Europe is already struggling to accommodate refugees from the
Middle East and Africa, imagine what would happen if they imploded and their
disenfranchised, angry, and impoverished residents all started moving north.

"They
Want Us Dead & Gone" - Homelessness Surges Across The US. Submitted
by Tyler Durden on 02/01/2016 : While federal,
state and local programs aimed at securing permanent housing for certain
groups, such as veterans and the chronically homeless, have helped bring down
the number of homeless people nationally, but amid
Federal-Reserve-"wealth"-fueled gentrification, WSJ
reports many cities are seeing the number of homeless soar. In New York,
the homeless population increased nearly 42% to 75,323 from 53,187 and
though the roots of the clashes vary, a common theme runs through many: The
conflict between established homeless populations and new residents drawn by
redevelopment.

of navigation, which has always been resolutely opposed by most of the
international community, especially certain developing nations. What the United
States has done is dangerous and irresponsible."
