BETWEEN 2 EVILS -HILLARY & TRUMP- WHICH ONE IS WORSE?
Here a pro-Trump opinion from
David Stockman .. my comments in brackets.
..
by David Stockman • April
27, 2016
What the central state does in its current incarnation as
Imperial Washington is to sabotage national greatness, not foster it,
and saddle the economically listing American nation with a debilitating
$800 billion national security apparatus that is wholly unnecessary.
The latter has long since morphed into
a Warfare State leviathan It pursues senseless and destructive
foreign interventions that erode, not enhance, the safety and security of
American communities. It impairs constitutional liberties at home
under cover of exaggerated and often contrived threats of terrorism. And
it breeds blowback and terrorism abroad wherever its drones, bombs,
occupations and covert machinations intrude in matters that are none
of our business.
But of course that
is exactly what Hillary’s candidacy is all about. Namely, insinuating
the American state even more deeply and destructively into matters which are
none of its business, and doing so at home and abroad with equal similitude.
Hillary Clinton allegedly protested the Vietnam War
before becoming a Republican summer intern in 1967, ... She was an enthusiastic backer of Bill
Clinton’s feckless military interventions in the Balkans during the 1990s and a
signed-up hawk for George Bush’s catastrophic wars in Afghanistan and
Iraq.
As Donald Trump rightly says, her time as Secretary of State
was an unmitigated disaster. The “peace
candidate” actually won the 2008 election, but Secretary Clinton along with
lifetime CIA operative and unabashed war-monger, Robert Gates, saw to it that peace never got a chance.
[ Not only Hillary won with the 2008 election,
the neocons win it .. Trump –silence-complicity- included. ]

ZERO HEDGE
ECONOMICS
Initial jobless claims continue to hover at 43 year lows,
suggesting that everything is awesome in America - just ask President Obama. So
why is US GDP not growing at 3.0%-plus as the 'models' would suggest? Simple -
because job
'quality' matters and the chart below should slap that into the face of
fiction-peddlers across the nation...
Surging minimum-wage employment amid plunging manufacturing
jobs - now
that is a legacy to be proud of.

The
Future Of America? – More Than Half Of All Adults Under-30 Now Reject
Capitalism.. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 04/28/2016
A shocking new survey has found that support for
capitalism is dying in America. In fact, more than half of all adults in
the United States under the age of 30 say that they do not support capitalism
at this point. You might be tempted to dismiss them as “foolish young
people”, but the truth is that they are the future of America.
…
When I first heard of this new survey from Harvard
University, I was absolutely stunned. The following is from what the Washington Post had to say
about it…
The Harvard University survey, which polled young
adults between ages 18 and 29, found that 51 percent of respondents
do not support capitalism. Just 42 percent said they support it.
It isn’t clear that the young people in the poll would
prefer some alternative system, though. Just 33 percent said they
supported socialism. The survey had a margin of error of 2.4 percentage points.
Could it be possible that young adults were
confused by the wording of the survey?
Well, other polls have come up with similar results…
The university’s results echo recent findings from Republican
pollster Frank Luntz, who surveyed 1,000 Americans between the ages of 18 and
26 and found that 58% of respondents believed socialism to be the “more
compassionate” political system when compared to capitalism. And when
participants were asked to sum up the root of America’s problem in one word, 29%
said “greed.”
So why is this happening?
Well, the truth is that our colleges and universities
have become indoctrination centers for the progressive movement.
I know, because I spent eight years at public universities in this
country.
Meanwhile, the major entertainment providers in the
United States are also promoting the same values.
..
In a recent article
entitled “Depressing
Survey Results Show How Extremely Stupid America Has Become“, I
discussed a Nielsen report which
detailed how much time the average American spends consuming media on various
electronic devices each day…
- Watching live television: 4 hours, 32 minutes
- Watching time-shifted television: 30 minutes
- Listening to the radio: 2 hours, 44 minutes
- Using a smartphone: 1 hour, 33 minutes
- Using Internet on a computer: 1 hour, 6 minutes
Overall, the average American spends about 10 hours a day
consuming one form of entertainment or another.
.. So yes, I believe that it is exceedingly clear why we should
be deeply concerned about the future of America. The values that are
being relentlessly pounded into the heads of our young people are directly opposed
to the values that this nation was founded upon, and it is these young people
that will determine the path that this country ultimately takes.
[[ POOR ANALYSIS ..
The fact 1 indicates that the neoliberal system is based
on frauds, vulture speculation & plundering .. that killed productive
capitalism .. the dream of founded fathers ..
The fact 2- is the real collapse of the neo-liberal
system world-wide.. the booms and burst create the uncertainty that threaten
the future of the new generations ..
The Fact 3 is that Economic history in Universities
cannot ignore the blessing reality
created by the experiment from FD Roosevelt known as Glass-Steagall-Act of
1936. At that time we have similar depression situation that we have now .. and
FDR converted that nightmare into a prosperous economy that last more than 40
years, until the cowboy Reagan and his mentor Friedman in Economics and Kissinger in Politics came to power ..
The Fact 4- is that the neo-liberal system that destroyed
America was born in the Washington
Consensus of 1985 and it was based on the fascist experiment in Chile with
Pinochet, the one who killed the elected President Allende.
Fact 5. Neoliberalism is based on massive
genocides & plundering of foreign resources. A new era of nationalizations
and zero-debt mobilization is about to open its way.
Fact 6. We cannot continue this system .. the same
financier elite who benefit from this system know it and of course the working
classes & educated people in Universities, know it too.
Fact 7: There is a social MOV in favor of
socialism in America that will go beyond elections. If we don’t implement an
updated version of the Glass Steagal Act in America.. the social revolution will open
its way and new socialism will be a
reality in our country. It will be based on the alliance between productive
capitalism and working classes. ] ]

THIS
IS WHERE AMERICA'S RUNAWAY INFLATION IS HIDING. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 04/28/2016
Deflation, deflation everywhere... except for those 43
million Americans who are being slammed with rent inflation soaring at just over
8% every year, the highest on record.
For two decades,
starting in 2013 something snapped, and rent inflation for some 43 million
Americans has exploded and is currently printing at a blended four quarter
average rate of just over 8%, the highest on record, and 4 times higher than
Yellen's inflationary target.
So the next time Janet Yellen laments the collapse of
inflation, feel free to show her this chart which even she can easily recreate
using the government's own data (the sad reality is that rents are rising even
faster than what the governmet repoirts) at the following
link.

Why
Is JPM's "Quant Guru" Suddenly Worried About The "Endgame".
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/28/2016 : "Increased
government spending, financed by central banks could indeed create inflation,
but will further elevate the problem of debt viability. If investors lose
confidence that the debt can ever be repaid, they will reduce their holdings,
increasing the cost to governments or inviting more central bank buying. This can eventually result in the devaluation of all currencies against
real assets such as gold, high inflation or even outright defaults (as was the
case in Greece). If such a trend develops in one of the large economies, it
could have far-reaching consequences."

"The riskiest things are now stocks and other

investing are low volatility stock funds. But there is no such thing! If
you think that a stock like Johnson & Johnson can’t go down, you’re wrong..
If you are waiting for the confirmation of a recession before taking
actions to protect your investment portfolio, it will likely be far too late.”

"It's
Hard To Believe" - Establishment Stunned As Trump Gains 'Wealthy,
Well-Educated' Voters Submitted
by Tyler Durden
on 04/28/2016 : Not only is Donald
Trump likely to gather the most votes of any GOP Presidential nominee ever,
having swept the East Coast and crushed the anti-Trump alliance between Kasich
and Cruz even before it made the news cycle; but now, as
Reuters reports, the GOP establishment faces an ever bigger problem. Wealthy,
well-educated voters helped carry the Republican front-runner to victory this
week - a demographic the famously blunt-spoken billionaire had struggled
to attract in the past.
[ Easy to believe it: Sanders & Trump young-support’
dominant ideology is ANTI-SYSTEM. The difference is that Sanders has a coherent
economic & political program to change this system and what make Trump
anti-system is his stand against war .. though is not totally coherent on it.]

DID
BERNIE SANDERS JUST GO FULL ESTABLISHMENT?. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/28/2016 : Comments made by Bernie Sanders this week may just have blindsided and disillusioned swathes of his support base. Some of those with higher expectations of the ‘peacenik’ candidate breathed a collective sigh of disappointment after he endorsed Obama’s extrajudicial drone assassination program. Submitted by Michaela Whitton via TheAntiMedia.org,
THAT IS A NASTY SLANDER ON
SANDERS
[[ I guess neither Tyler
Durden nor Michaela Whitton watch the interview to Sanders in MSNBC I did it and this is a nasty DISTORTION ON WHAT SANDERS SAID. These two persons
should’ve checked the transcript of this debate. http://info.msnbc.com/_news/2016/04/25/35464706-full-transcript-msnbc-town-hall-with-bernie-sanders-moderated-by-chris-hayes?lite
Sanders did not “endorsed Obama’s extrajudicial drone
assassination” There is
not such statement in the transcript. In my opinion
this misinterpretation on the
talking about ISIS terrorism in Syria fought by the US is another blasphemy and
slander typical from the presstitute staff paid by
Hillary Clinton to destroy the image of Sanders. Hayes from MSNBC is
paid to do so. He introduced a person -Miguel Garces- to make a question about the
legality US airstrikes against ISIS –and affiliated groups in any country
around the world?. Garces was not prepared enough to substantiate his question.
Here the QUESTION: Senator
Sanders, you said that you think that the U.S. airstrikes are authorized under
current law, but does that mean that the U.S. military
can lawfully strike ISIS-affiliated groups in any country around the world?
SANDERS: No, it does not mean that. But the President, no
President, has the ability willy-nilly to be dropping bombs or using drones any
place he wants.
HAYES: [In clear
manipulation of the interview intervene to say:] The
current authorization which you cite -in what Miguel just quoted- which is the
authorization to use military force after 9/11. That has led to the kill
list. This President -- literally, there is a kill list. There is a list of
people that the U.S. government wants to kill, and it goes about doing it. Would
you keep the kill list as President of the United States?
SANDERS: Look. Terrorism is a very serious issue. There are people out
there who want to kill Americans, who want to attack this country, and I think we
have a lot of right to defend ourselves. I think as Miguel said,
though, it has to be done in a constitutional, legal way.
HAYES: Do you think what's being done now is constitutional
and legal?
SANDERS: In general I do,
yes. [Of course the generality refers to the “right to defend ourselves” against
terrorism. as he said before.
HAYES: One more question -- the announcement today that the
U.S. is going to send 250 Special Forces operators on the ground in Syria. Do you
agree with that? Do you think that's permissible, given the fact that there has
not been an authorization?
SANDERS: I think the -- look. Here's the bottom line. ISIS
has got to be destroyed, and the way that ISIS must be destroyed is not through
American troops fighting on the ground. ISIS must be destroyed and King
Abdullah of Jordan has made this clear, that the war is for the soul of Islam
and it must be won by the Muslim nations themselves.
This is the generality of the debate and is clear that Sanders
did not “endorsed Obama’s
extrajudicial drone assassination” There
is not such statement in the transcript. That is
illegal slander on Sanders.]]

Russian
Fighter Jet Flies Within 50 Feet Of US Spy Plane Over Russian Naval Base Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/28/2016
“On April 21, a U.S. Navy P-8 Maritime Patrol reconnaissance
aircraft flying a routine mission in international airspace was intercepted by
a MiG-31 Russian jet in the vicinity of the Kamchatka Peninsula,” Cmdr. Dave
Benham, a spokesman for the Pacific Command, told the Washington
Free Beacon. While Benham added that the intercept was “characterized as
safe and professional" there was more to the story as another defense
official familiar with the MiG-31 intercept said the jet flew within 50 feet of
the P-8, a maritime patrol and anti-submarine warfare aircraft.

Snyder, the Economic Collapse Blog.
Of course many of the “experts” being quoted by the
mainstream media are saying that this is just a temporary blip and that good
times for the U.S. economy are right around the corner. For instance,
check out this quote from Reuters…
“The economy essentially stalled in the first quarter, but
that doesn’t mean it is faltering,” said Joel Naroff, chief economist at Naroff
Economic Advisors in Holland, Pennsylvania. “Some of the restraints to growth
are dissipating. Growth is likely to accelerate going forward.”

Reuters/Ipsos recently conducted a
poll in which it asked Americans whether the primary process for choosing
presidential candidates was rigged. Here’s what they found:
More than half of American voters believe that the
system U.S. political parties use to pick their candidates for the White House
is “rigged” and more than two-thirds want to see the process changed, according
to a Reuters/Ipsos poll.
The results echo complaints from Republican
front-runner Donald Trump and Democratic challenger Bernie Sanders that the
system is stacked against them in favor of candidates with close ties to their
parties – a critique that has triggered a nationwide debate over whether the
process is fair.
