As his votes against the Patriot Act, Iraq War and banker
bailouts demonstrate, Bernie Sanders has been on the right side of history on
all the major issues of the 21st century. In contrast, Hillary Clinton has been
on the wrong side of history on pretty much everything.

Which
American States Have The Most Billionaires. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 04/06/2016
Now that the topic of billionaire migration is suddenly all
the rage, we decided to find out in which US states America's 540 billionaires
are to be found. For the answer we used the latest Forbes data listing
the states with the most billionaires. According to the magazine,
there are "540 billionaires in the United States, with a combined net
worth of $2.399 trillion. That’s more billionaires and more combined net worth
than any other nation in the world."
This is where they live across the U.S.:
As we reported
yesterday, California has already seen an exodus of state residents
departing for other places in the US like Texas. If the all important
billionaires were to depart, it would get very ugly for the state whose budget
is already on edge.

Rothschild
Humiliates Obama, Reveals That "America Is The Biggest Tax Haven In The
World". Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 04/06/2016
"In a draft of his San Francisco presentation, Rothschild’s
Penney wrote that the U.S. "is effectively the biggest tax haven in the
world." The U.S., he added in language later excised from his prepared
remarks, lacks “the resources to enforce foreign tax laws and has little
appetite to do so."

European
Equities: Rolling Over…Or Overdue?. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 04/06/2016
After bouncing into mid-March, bourses across the European
continent have struggled to maintain any momentum. In fact, as of today, many
of the broader European averages are trading back at late-February levels.
Furthermore, on a relative basis, European stocks have lagged so badly that
they have now set a new record for futility.
After bouncing into mid-March, bourses across the European
continent have struggled to maintain any momentum. In fact, as of today, many
of the broader European averages are trading back at late-February levels.
Furthermore, on a relative basis, European stocks have lagged so badly that
they have now set a new record for futility. Specifically, when measuring the
performance of the Dow Jones STOXX Europe 600 Index versus the S&P 500, the
resultant relative ratio just dropped to an all-time low (since the beginning
of our data in 1998).
Thus, while European stocks may be “due” for a relative
snapback bounce, until further notice expect any snapback to be limited in
scope. The evidence continues to suggest that the relative European downtrend
is still firmly intact. Furthermore, the technical picture suggests that
European stocks have considerable resistance overhead and, in fact, may have
already begun to roll over once again.

A
World Preparing For Conflict: Global Military Spending Rises For The First Time
In Five Years. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 04/06/2016
World military expenditures rose to $1.7 trillion in 2015,
an increase of about 1% from last year. According to SIPRI, this was the
first increase in global military spending since 2011. Unsurprisingly, the
United States earned the top spot by a ridiculous margin, spending a gargantuan
$596 billion in 2015 (for which the military industrial complex - the recipient
of the funds - is eternally grateful). The US is followed by China, and Saudi
Arabia who spent an estimated $215 billion and $87.2 billion respectively.
Here is how the top fifteen countries rank.

The Panama Papers offer damning proof of this: increasing concentrations of wealth and
power that are free of any constraint (such as taxes) is not just the
consequence of centralized money and state power–this inequality is the only
possible output of centralized money and state power.
Here is a graphic portrayal of just how concentrated
global wealth really is: the top .7%
(less than 1%) own 45% of all global wealth, and the top 8% own 85%.
Once the creation and distribution of money is
centralized, the corruption of political power is inevitable, as wealth can
always buy political favors, such as tax evasion schemes.
Concentrations of private wealth and the central state
are simply two sides of the same coin. Private wealth, monopolies and cartels
are all protected and enforced by the state/central bank: the status quo
exists to protect the privileges of the few at the expense of the many.
Here is my description of how centralized money and
finance inevitably creates debt-serfdom as its only possible output:
