Genocide in Libya was
not enough to Hillarry, now wants to do the same in Iran
IT DOESN’T MATTER A NUKE WAR WITH RU. SHE LOVES IMPERIAL TERRORISM
..
Here her words in AIPAC
“I want the Iranians to know
that if I’m president, we will attack Iran. In the next 10 years,
during which they might foolishly consider launching an attack on Israel, we
would be able to totally obliterate them.”
She endorses using cluster bombs,
toxic agents and nuclear weapons in US war theaters. She calls them deterrents
that “keep the peace.” She was one of only six Democrat senators opposed to
blocking deployment of untested missile defense systems – first-strike weapons
entirely for offense.

CLINTON or TRUMP WILL SERVE THE INTEREST OF WALL STREET. Said economists
..
HUDSON: Or whether it would be Hillary
today, or Trump. Their job is to bail out Wall Street and make the people pay,
not Wall Street. Because Wall Street is “the people” who select the politicians
– who know where their money is coming from. If you have a campaign
contributor, no matter whether it’s Wall Street, or locally if it’s a real
estate developer, you all know who your backers are.
The talent you need to have as a politician is to make the voters think
that you’re going to be supporting their interests …

The
Next Big Problem: "Stagflation Is Starting To Show Across The
Economy". Submitted
by Tyler Durden
on 04/01/2016
"I think stagflation is starting to show - that idea
of stronger nominal growth but weaker real growth is starting to show up across
the economy. It certainly is showing
up with real personal consumption slowing; it's showing with slower job
creation growth as the wage rate rises, and it's showing up in weaker profits
as the share of labor income rises reducing profit margins for
corporations."
Extract
In the past few
months, the Bureau of Labor Statistics has gone out of its way to show that
U.S. worker compensation is finally rising. There is one problem with that:
while that may be true on an hourly basis...
See Image location at: http://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/images/user5/imageroot/2016/03/27/hourly%20earnings_0.jpg
... on a weekly
basis, the picture is vastly different. What is happening is that weekly wage
growth have gone nowhere in years, but because the average hours worked per
week has declined and today hit a 2 year low of 34.4, it translates into more
money per hour worked.

Where
The March Jobs Were: The Minimum Wage Deluge Continues. S by Tyler Durden on 04/01/16
In March the US
economy added a healthy 215K jobs, beating expectations and more importantly,
pushing the average hourly earnings up by 0.3% on the month. Which, however, is
curious because a cursory look at the job additions in the month reveals that nearly
two-third of all jobs, and the three top categories of all job additions, were
once again all minimum wages jobs.

Actual: Energy sector (-12K), Manufacturing (-29K)

Key point:
Payrolls dropped in almost every manufacturing sector, and machinery led the
way (-6K). A strong sign that 2H Industrial production is poised to
contract further as investments in factory production are dropping at a faster
pace.

Japan
Stocks Plunge; Europe, U.S. Futures, Oil Lower Ahead Of Payrolls. S- by
Tyler
Durden on 04/01/16 : For Japan, the post "Shanghai
Summit" world is turning ugly, fast, because as a result of the sliding
dollar, a key demand of China which has been delighted by the recent dovish
words and actions of Janet Yellen, both Japan's and Europe's stock markets have
been sacrificed at the whims of their suddenly soaring currencies. Which is why
when Japanese stocks tumbled the most in 7 weeks, sinking 3.5%, to a one month
low of 16,164 (after the Yen continued strengthening and the Tankan confidence
index plunged to a 3 year low) it was anything but an April fool's joke to both
local traders.

A system that
piles debt on students in exchange for a marginal or even zero-return on their
investment is morally and financially bankrupt.
..
Every once in a while you run across an insider’s
narrative of a corrupt, morally bankrupt sector that absolutely nails the
sector’s terminal rot. Here is that nails-it narrative for higher education:
..
Here are excerpts of the article, which was published in Canada but is equally applicable to higher
education in the U.S.:
A university degree, after all, is a credential crucial for economic
success. At least, that’s what we’re told. But as with all such
credentials—those sought for the ends they promise rather than the knowledge
they represent—the trick is to get them cheaply, quickly, and with as little
effort as possible. My students’ disaffection is the real face of this
ambition.
I teach mostly bored youth who find themselves doing something they
neither value nor desire—and, in some cases, are simply not equipped for—in
order to achieve an outcome they are repeatedly warned is essential to their
survival. What a dreadful trap.
One in particular matches perfectly with the type of change I’ve
observed on my watch: the eradication of content from the classroom.

Yes, It Is a Rebellion
There’s no other way
to see the Sanders and Trump surges except as a popular rebellion, a rebellion
of the people against their “leaders.” If one of them, Sanders or Trump, is on
the ballot in November running against an Establishment alternative, Sanders or
Trump, the anti-Establishment candidate, will win. That candidate will
cannibalize votes from the Establishment side.

Trump
and Almost Two Thirds of Americans Don’t Know that TORTURE MAKES US LESS SAFE. Posted on March 31, 2016 by WashingtonsBlog
..
The American people
agree. A new Reuters/Ipsos poll poll shows that 63%
of Americans – 82% of Republicans and 53% of Democrats – believe torture of
suspected terrorists is “often” or “sometimes” justified to gather information.
..
While it would be
nice to beat the crap out of some bad guys to get them spill the beans – and
prevent more terrorism – the truth is that torture DECREASES the amount of
information we’ll get and actually INCREASES terrorism.

Corporate
Debt Defaults Explode To Catastrophic Levels Not Seen Since The Last Financial
Crisis Posted on March 31, 2016 by WashingtonsBlog
..
By Michael Snyder, the Economic Collapse Blog.
..
As you will see
below, corporate defaults are currently at the highest level that we have seen
since 2009. A wave of bankruptcies is sweeping the energy industry, but
it isn’t just the energy industry that is in trouble. In fact, the
average credit rating for U.S. corporations is now lower than it was at any point during the last recession.
This is yet another sign that we are in the early chapters of a major league
economic crisis. Yesterday I talked about how 23.2 percent of all
Americans in their prime working years do not have a job right now, but today
I am going to focus on the employers. Big corporate giants all over
America are in deep, deep financial trouble, and this is going to result in a
tremendous wave of layoffs in the coming months.
