“It’s organized crime. All you do is you call the Republicans the
Genoveses and you call the Democrats the Gambinos. The people at the top, they
treat it like a crap game. It’s their crap game, like they’re making lots of
money.
..
Occasionally, somebody at the table shoots each other, but the
moment anything threatens their crap game, they all unite to protect it.
..They’re both controlled by the same financial, economic and corporate
interests.” -Michael C. Ruppert (excerpted from the film America Freedom to Fascism)
Politics has been called a rigged game, with elites using
money and organizational resources to pull the puppet strings of most
candidates for high office. However, the entrance into the race for US
president of candidates Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump who both reject funding
from Wall Street threatens to challenge that truism.
This week’s Global Research News Hour attempts to cut through
the propaganda and jargon and assess what real options are out there for making
substantive and humane political change.

Negative interest rates are a tax!
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/20/2016.
Negative interest rates are a tax! Not a traditional tax paid to the
government, but an expense paid, on savings. Years of policy designed to
encourage spending and discourage savings is likely reaching the end game; the
point where those exhibiting prudence must be punished to keep the game
going. At some point, and likely soon, central bankers will be forced
to realize the efficacy of lowering interest rates is vanishing and is
hindering achievement of their goals. When this occurs a paradigm shift in the
way monetary policy is conducted will likely occur. Investors that understand
this dynamic, and what it portends, will be in a much better position to
protect and profit from the asset price adjustments that lie ahead.

The Short Squeeze Is Largely Over Submitted by Tyler Durden
on 03/20/2016
"Three quarters
of the previous selling of equity ETFs during January and February has been
reversed in just three weeks. CTAs appear to have fully covered their shorts.
Indeed both CTAs and Discretionary Macro hedge fund managers appear to be close
to neutral right now... we conclude that the short covering phase that
started a month ago is very advanced."

Why
The True Cost Of Living Is Much Higher Than We're Told (Or Sold) . Submitted
by Tyler Durden on 03/20/2016 : Over
the past decade, we've been told that inflation has been tame -- actually
below the target the Federal Reserve would like to see. But if that's true,
then why does the average household find it harder and harder to get by? The
ugly reality is that the true annual cost of living is far outpacing the
government's reported inflation rate. By nearly 10x in many parts of the
country.

Must Watch Video - "The Veneer of Justice in a
Kingdom of Crime". Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 03/20/2016 : No one in American society is supposed to be
immune from criminal prosecution, yet the Justice Department in the Obama
administration took it upon themselves to grant such immunity to the mega banks
and their employees. This is a tale of the traitors operating within the
highest levels of the U.S. government, and it is a saga of how the rule of law
was openly torched in front of our very eyes.... Until justice is served, this
nation will never heal. Economically, culturally or spiritually.

POLITICS
Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 03/20/2016
This is the new
America system: a democratic politics of power, plunder and privilege in
a perpetual social conflict of social classes, racial groups and gender
identities. It is a system in which the individual seems weak, small
and powerless; and needing “leaders” who will use politics to bring them to the
social, economic, racial and gender “promised lands”

democrat." This is what he said: "I was protesting Trump’s facism,
his racism, his lies, his women-hating," Bryan Sanders said in an
interview with the Arizona Daily Star. Sanders said he was holding a sign
that said "Trump is bad for America."

Inside the Beltway all politicians are the same. They do the
bidding of vested interests, lobbyists, and whoever else has the money. No one
knows that better than Goldman Sachs, a firm which has its fingers (or
“tentacles” as it were) in every political pie that matters (well, except one
perhaps). Here is Goldman's 2016 election preview.

Black
Cop Exposes Anti-Trump Protesters As "Most Hateful, Evil People Ever".
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/20/2016 : Unfortunately
for the establishment, the ongoing acts of sponsoreds civil disobedience are
not creating the groundswell of anti-Trump terror they had hoped would bring
down the anti-establishmentarian. In fact things have gone so far that even
Arizona cops questioned their safety among Soros'
puppet-protesters. As African-American police officer Brandon Tatum
exclaims, the profane-language-using demonstrators "were the most
hateful, evil people he has ever seen."

Is
There A US-Russia Grand Bargain In Syria? by
Pepe Escobar via SputnikNews.com, Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 03/20/2016 : It’s spy thriller stuff; no one
is talking. But there are indications Russia would not announce a partial
withdrawal from Syria right before the Geneva negotiations ramp up unless a
grand bargain with Washington had been struck. Tradeoffs seem to be
imminent. And that would imply a power shift has taken place above Obama -
who is essentially a messenger, a paperboy.

Unintended
Consequences – Mortgage Borrowing Costs Rise in Switzerland Despite Negative
Interest Rates. Posted on March 20, 2016 by WashingtonsBlog . by Mike Krieger, Liberty
Blitzkrieg.
From Business
Insider:
Remember back
in December when we highlighted that one of the responses to central
banks’ introduction of negative interest rates might actually be a raising of
interest rates by banks to borrowers?
..
The bank’s preferred solution then might be to keep
income up by widening the spread between deposit rates and borrowing rates by
increasing the interest rate charged to borrowers. And thus dropping into
negative interest rates on deposits can lead to a rise in interest rates for
borrowers.
Well, that apparently is happening
in Switzerland, whose central bank has had negative interest rates for over
a year.
..
In response, it seems, Swiss banks have pushed up the
cost of mortgages, particularly long-dated ones, with spreads more than
doubling on average, according to Brupbacker and Nemes. At the same time, the
lower bound on retail deposits has been maintained, for the obvious reason of
not wanting to incentivize customers to turn up at branches and demand their
cash.
It seems that borrowers are trying to lock in lower
interest rates by taking out longer-term loans, causing banks to raise the
interest rates on those loans so as to maintain or widen the spread between
rates charged to borrowers and offered
to depositors.
