HILLARY’s IMPUNITY WILL BE DEFEATED
AMERICA'S
AGE OF IMPUNITY. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 05/17/2016
Impunity is
epidemic in America. The
rich and powerful get away with their heists in broad daylight. When a politician like Bernie Sanders calls out the
corruption, the New York Times and Wall Street Journal double down with
their mockery over such a foolish “dreamer.”
Hillary case:
Impunity
is not an accidental or incidental defect of American society. It is a system
foisted on us by the rich and powerful, and it continues to work its magic. It has
enabled Hillary Clinton to come within reach of the presidential nomination
without releasing the transcripts of her highly paid speeches to Wall Street
banks. The Clintons long ago perfected the art of impunity, becoming
rich and powerful by blurring the lines between their
campaign fund-raising, public policies in office, Clinton Foundation work,
big-money speeches, and off-the-record favors for foreign governments.
[[ Solution:
1st.
Go to elections & vote for Bernie Sanders, up to the end of the Primaries
2nd.
Organize the Democratic Socialist Party & help the rise of People’s Front
3rd.
If DNC don’t fix the fraud of superdelegates & give 50/50 in closed primaries
.. if
so, Sanders’ delegates should abandon this place that legitimize fraud ..
… and
declare the right of the Nation for a 3rd choice: the FRONT with
Greens ..
… and
other socialists parties & progressive people to fight against the 1%.
4th.
The Nation FRONT against the 1% will be run as Green Party for legal purpose
Meanwhile, we will continue
taking streets & winning elections with SANDERS.]]
TAKE STREETS
& ALL PUBLIC PLACES & SHOUT LOUD:
NO
HILLARY ENDORSEMENT! .. NO, NO, NO!!
DOWN
with Neo-NAZI TRUMP ... DOWN..
DOWN.. DOWN!!
GO
BERNIE & JILL … GO, GO. GO
.. UNITED WE WILL WIN!!
PEOPLE
.. UNITED.. WILL NEVER BE DEFEATED!!

TWO CONTRADICTORY REPORTS from special private interest at
the top
1-Someone
Really Wants This Market To Crash. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/17/16. : If
Goldman was surprised how many investors in the VIX ETP market disagreed with
Goldman's 'low
vol' call three weeks ago, it will be absolutely shocked now.
Because what the charts show is that someone really wants this market to
crash, and is putting their money where their mouth is.

2-Goldman
Downgrades Stocks Over Next 12 Months Due To Risk Of Sharp Market Drop. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/17/2016 : Having
pointed out the gathering storm in VIX ETPs, raised concerns of a "reasonably
high probability" of a large drop in stocks, and explained
how complacently short-term risk is being priced, Goldman's portfolio
strategy team have unleashed a dramatic warning. Shifting to an oveweight cash
position for the next 3 months, Goldman warns "we downgrade equities
to Neutral over 12 months on growth and valuation concerns. Until we see
sustained earnings growth, equities do not look attractive, especially on a
risk-adjusted basis."

Middle
Class Destitution – A Devastating Tale From America's Heartland. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 05/17/2016 : "We're becoming like a third-world
country. This is how it feels to be sold out by your country. We’re
going to have nothing left but fast food... Fast food and hedge funds.
That's where we're going."
Although I previously reported on this as it pertained to
the extremely affluent city of Palo Alto in the post, The
New “Middle Class” – Making $250,000 a Year in Palo Alto Qualifies for Housing
Subsidies, it appears this may be more of a trend than an
anomaly.
As the Wall Street Journal reports in the
piece, Rising
U.S. Rents Squeeze the Middle Class:
Rising rents in cities across
the nation are hurting the poorest residents, but those who are higher on the
income ladder might be bearing the brunt of the pain.
I don’t know about you, but this isn’t the kind of
country I want to live in.

am optimistic that the depository will be up and running at the end of this
year or the beginning of next year,” Capriglione said, "at the
depository, Texans will be able to open accounts similar to checking or
savings accounts at traditional banks - and monitor them online."

Stocks Slide After Lockhart/Williams Say Rate-Hike In June On The Table. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/17/2016 : Once again the narrative spewing forth from today's Fed speakers is that "the market is too pessimistic" presumably meaning the bond market because stocks are near record highs; and crucially, that despite collapsing industrial production, plunging GDP expectations, near-record inventories, and weakness in employment data that the US economy is "doing well" and that "June is a live meeting" for a rate hike... the equity market is not amused...
[ When neoliberalism is in crisis this up & downs came
faster. Time to change it as FDR did it.]
Does this look like a market
that is "too pessimistic" about the US economy?
Seems like bonds have been dead right all along?

Why
2,900 Is The Most Important Number In The World For US Equity Bulls. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/17/2016 : What

starts caring about Chinese stocks? The answer, as BofAML's Stephen Suttmeier
explains, is "nothing good."

Weapons Headed To Libya: Hillary's Interventionist Disaster Continues To Spiral Out Of Control. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/17/2016 : Earlier today, The Guardian published an article detailing how foreign leaders were gathering in Vienna to discuss how to address the humanitarian disaster/ISIS haven they themselves created in Libya. As usual, the key agenda item revolved around whether the U.S. and its allies should ship weapons into the arena to inspire, you know, freedom and democracy.

Is
Mitt Romney On A Suicide Mission?. S- by Tyler
Durden on 05/17/2016 : “It’s a
suicide mission,” said the Republican Party Chairman. The
Romney-Kristol cabal is Hillary Clinton’s fifth column inside the Republican
Party.
[ What a stupid title: He wants Hillary’s money too. Both know
the dirty business of election and of tax-evasion too. Do you remember how
Romney was put down in the previous elections?. .. they both know how much money
they have en Israel, the holy-paradise for evasion in our time. Besides those
coffers, both are close friends of Netanyahu, the one who holds the key of the
paradise for evasion. This is the main reason why this war criminal was passionally
defended by Hillary. So, there is not love for the pig-Neta but for the money
illegally deposited in Israel. No es amor
al chancho sino a los chicharrones, in Spanglish.]

AMERICA'S
AGE OF IMPUNITY. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 05/17/2016
The Panama
Papers opened yet another window on the global system of financial corruption, showing how
political leaders and businesses use shell companies in secrecy havens like the
British Virgin Islands and many US states to evade taxes and hide corruption
and other crimes. Yet the system of corruption depends on another factor
beyond secrecy, one that is perhaps even more important: impunity.
Impunity is
epidemic in America. The rich and powerful get away with their heists in
broad daylight. When a politician like Bernie
Sanders calls out the corruption, the New York Times and Wall Street
Journal double down with their mockery over such a foolish “dreamer.”
John Paulson.
Paulson was the coconspirator with Goldman Sachs of one of the most
notorious scams of the recent financial bubble. Paulson
and Goldman constructed and marketed
a portfolio of toxic assets to sell to unwitting investors so that Paulson
could bet against the portfolio. Goldman and Paulson thereby turned the sucker
investors’ quick $1 billion loss into an equivalent $1 billion gain for Paulson,
with Goldman collecting on fees. [ Now they are
financing Hillary. ]
Impunity. Paulson
remains a much-celebrated figure on Wall Street. He has many kindred spirits,
such as his partner in crime, Goldman CEO Lloyd
Blankfein, who has described himself as just a banker “doing God’s work.” Or
consider JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon, whose bank
has paid well over $30 billion in fines while Dimon remains CEO with a $27
million salary for 2015. The hedge-fund industry itself is a case study of
impunity. With few exceptions, it is domiciled in tax and secrecy havens,
enjoys crass tax breaks brokered by cronies in Congress (such as Wall Street
Senator Chuck Schumer), and pays itself billion-dollar-plus paychecks even
while leaving investors with below-market returns or outright losses over the
years.
Impunity
is of course not limited to banking. Consider the poster-child of impunity in Big Pharma, Gilead Sciences.
Gilead brazenly bought the patents on a life-saving cure for Hepatitis C and
then gouged patients and taxpayers by charging $1,000 per pill — for a drug
that costs $1 per pill to manufacture.
[ This is also the case of Pfizer now. They get billion with VR
by preventing a generic one.]
Or consider
another tech company in the health sector, Theranos, led by Elizabeth Holmes,
until recently much lionized on Wall Street. Holmes, it now seems, may have
been lying about Theranos’s supposed high-tech blood-testing technology and
reporting faulty blood test results to boot.
Hillary
case:
Impunity is
not an accidental or incidental defect of American society. It is a system
foisted on us by the rich and powerful, and it continues to work its magic. It
has enabled Hillary Clinton to come within reach of the presidential nomination
without releasing the transcripts of her highly paid speeches to Wall
Street banks. The Clintons long ago perfected the art of impunity, becoming
rich and powerful by blurring the lines between their campaign fund-raising,
public policies in office, Clinton Foundation work,
big-money speeches, and off-the-record favors for foreign governments. [Case
in point: Saudis.]

ME & WORLD ISSUES
A VERY EXPENSIVE WAR PROJECT
The USS Zumwalt (designed by Raytheon) is powered by
electricity produced by turbines, has guns that can hit targets over 70 miles
away, and has a sharp-angled geometric design that apparently makes the 610
foot long ship 50 times more difficult to detect on radar. It also has a
state-of-the-art weapon launcher designed to fire missiles for sea, land, and
air attacks. All of this for a taxpayer cost of
a
mere $4.4 billion.

Can
Big Oil Survive At Today's Prices?. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 05/17/2016 : Data suggests that oil producers need prices
in the $70-80 range to survive. That is unlikely in the next year or so. Without
more timely price relief, the future looks grim for an industry on life
support.

WASHINGTON BLOG
Everyone who follows the statistics of rising income and
wealth inequality knows we’re becoming a nation of haves and have-nots. What’s
not being discussed is the role of housing.
Let’s start by
recalling that for the vast majority of bottom-95% American households, the
primary asset is the family home. (The wealthy, not coincidentally, own
businesses and income-producing assets.)
