By Gary Leupp,
Here extracts:
Hillary identifies herself as liberal and
progressive, and she has campaigned as these in the contest with Sanders. However..
Clinton’s policies
are in contrast highly predictable on the basis of her record and recent public
pronouncements. (She has all but declared war on Syria, for example, and will
continue to provocatively expand NATO while pressuring Europe to maintain
unpopular and painful sanctions against Russia.) By this record I mean the
record of “experience” touted by her supporters, and referred to by corporate
media talking heads in their matter-of-fact way as though its substance were an
unquestionable plus for Hillary.
Her very experience
recommends her to another, far smaller, community: the warmongers, from the
neoconservatives of the Cheney-Wolfowitz-McCain ilk to the “liberal
interventionists” like pundits Paul Krugman, Thomas Friedman, and Fareed
Zakaria and Clinton advisors Sidney Blumenthal and Anne-Marie Slaughter. These
are people who rarely encounter a war they don’t like.

A
Very Bearish Stanley Druckenmiller Blows Up At The Fed; Reveals His Biggest
"Currency" Position. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 05/04/2016 : If anyone had wondered if Stanley
Druckenmiller's recent bearishness had dissipated, or transformed into at least
modest bullishness as a result of the market meltup, we have bad news.
THE FED has borrowed from future consumption more than ever before
See chart at:
The former Duquesne hedge fund manager, who averaged annual
returns of 30 percent from 1986 through 2010, also agreed that negative rates
are "absurd", said that he is bearish stocks, and concluded by
revealing what his biggest currency allocation is. "Some regard it as a
metal, we regard it as a currency and it remains our largest currency
allocation" he said, without naming the metal.
We know what he was talking about. Gold.

Air
Freight Volumes Across Largest Global Market Tumble 15% In First Quarter. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 05/04/2016 : Yes, everyone knows the recent global trade
deterioration it is the result of major economic problems in China which have
depressed Asian trade with North America, but we doubt anyone knew just how bad
it was. According to IATA, the latest available data by route show that air
freight volumes across the Pacific – the largest market in terms of air freight
tonne kilometres (FTKs) – were almost 15% lower during the start of this
year compared to the same period in 2015.

They're
Bringing Back Feudalism... And Nobody Seems To Notice. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 05/04/2016. : Financial privacy is by far the most
demonized aspect of privacy. This is a huge clue. Governments wouldn’t hate
financial privacy so much if it weren’t so important to individual liberty. Politicians
around the world see citizens as milk cows…they merely exist to be squeezed to
the last drop. We call it “the new feudalism.” A world without
privacy is a giant step backward for human freedom. It’s the new Dark Ages
that George Orwell grimly predicted.
Overzealous
governments have been attacking financial privacy for decades. Now, they’re
within striking distance of killing it once and for all.
I think they’ll use the suspicious Panama Papers incident
as the pretext for their final push.
The death of privacy
in general, and financial privacy in particular, will have far-reaching
sociopolitical consequences. It will irrevocably skew the balance of power in
favor of the government and against the individual.
I call it “the new feudalism.”
A world without
privacy is a giant step backward for human freedom. It’s the new Dark Ages that George Orwell grimly predicted.

Breaking
Down Warren Buffett's Rosy Outlook For America. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 05/04/16 There’s something about being insanely rich that people
will believe every word that comes out of your mouth no matter how bizarre. As
one of the richest men in the world, Warren Buffett’s opinions carry almost
Biblical impact, even when they might be completely ridiculous.
ECONOMIC circumstances
changed. Quickly.
..
Nations and
economies also change. History is very clear on this point: wealth and power
shift.
Just because a
country might be at the top today doesn’t mean it will be that way forever,
especially when the nation’s fundamentals and economic headwinds grow worse
each year.
So with due respect to Warren Buffet’s investment
acumen, there are decades of economic trends, millions of pages of regulations,
and thousands of years of human history proving that his outlook on America is
wrong.
This matters.
It’s important to look at the world with full view of objective data.
And being
objective doesn’t mean that you’re pessimistic or negative.
It means that you can make plans and draw rational
conclusions based on facts, not based on propaganda or the way we wish things
could be.

GDP and
Valuations
The possibility of a recession while equity valuations
are extreme is deeply troubling. Since 1929, there have been 14
recessions. All but one, in 1945, coincided with a period of negative returns
for stocks. Included in this data, as shown in the table below, are periods
when stock valuations ranged from greatly undervalued to extremely overvalued. Data and Table
Courtesy Doug Short :
On the heels of the first quarter’s GDP release we share
our concern that the probability of a recession continues rising while stock
prices remain at historically high valuations. Now may be a good time to heed
history’s warnings. The focus of this article rests on one simple fact- recessions
are not good for stock prices.
GDP
In the most recent GDP release the Bureau of Economic
Analysis (BEA) reported 0.50% annualized economic growth, a sharp departure
from the 1.40% annualized growth of the prior quarter. Economic growth is
now running below a 1.00% annualized rate for the last two quarters and has
been trending lower for the last two years as graphed below.
Summary
This article provides more supporting evidence that the
odds are stacked against equity investors. That does not mean the market cannot
go higher and exhibit even greater speculative fervor. However, as fiduciaries,
we must consider the long-term benefit of limiting drawdowns, especially when
there is historical reason to believe they could be extreme. While it is not
easy going against popular wisdom, we recommend exercising prudence and taking
some chips off the table.
We end with an interesting fact. The current stock market
is in the midst of the second longest bull market since the great depression,
only surpassed in duration by the 4,495-day bullish run of the 1990’s.

Freedom
Isn't Free: It Costs Taxpayers $700 Billion Per Year. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/04/16
"Freedom isn't
free," you'll be told, but this isn't in reference to the enormous tax
bill you're paying every year. No, this slogan is actually a veiled
threat against you and a claim that however much you're paying now in terms of
dollars or personal freedom, you should be ready and willing to give even more.

One
Man (Who Is Not A Fan Of Trump) Explains Why Trump Winning Is Good For
Democracy Submitted
by Tyler Durden
on 05/04/2016
Irrespective of what you think of Trump, his continued
survival in the Presidential circus is undoubtably good. Not
because he’s some sort of savior who will “Make America Great Again,” but
because he’s bringing up issues he’s not supposed to bring up. At the end
of the day, it’s not the actions of any particular individual that instills
true fear in the U.S. establishment and deep state government.
What really scares them is a population capable of critical thought beyond
false left-right paradigm talking points...

How
A Collapse In South America Could Trigger Martial Law In The U.S.. : Submitted
by Tyler Durden
on 05/04/2016 : The issue is and always will be
“interdependency,” and the dissolution of sovereign borders. The European
Union dynamic, for example, can only end in one of two ways - the complete
dismantling of the supranational body and a return to sovereignty, or, a
socio-economic crisis followed by even more centralization and the end of all
remnants of sovereignty. Either way, the consequences will not be pretty. The
same strategy may also be used in the Western hemisphere; more specifically,
the collapse in South America that almost no one in the mainstream seems to be
paying much attention to.

Where
Does The U.S. Get Its Oil?. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 05/04/2016. : Ever
wondered where the United States imports its oil from? Howmuch.net
came out with some infographics to show that from 2000 to 2015. What we would
highlight here is the notable shift from the U.S. depending heavily on Middle
East countries and Mexico, to depending more on America's neighbor to the
north, Canada.

THE INTERSECTION BETWEEN POLITICS & ECONOMICS
Hugo Adan. May 4,
2016
Draf 1: See Stat chart apart
Introduction.
The topic “where we are and where we go”, can be addressed by
exploring the issue INTERSECTION between
Politics and Economics. This is like exploring the intersection between today
and tomorrow (at the level of politics & economics). To do so, we can
depart from the concept of positive and negative intersection.

If There's A 2nd Cold War, Did Russia Really Start It?. Submitted
by Tyler Durden on 05/04/2016 : Putin
may top the enemies list of the Beltway establishment, but we should try to see
the world from his point of view. Did we not ourselves slap aside the hand of
Russian friendship, when proffered, when we chose to embrace our
“unipolar moment,” to play the “great game” of empire and seek “benevolent
global hegemony”? If there is a second Cold War, did Russia really
start it?

Wolf Richter of WolfStreet.com
On Wednesday, he posted a very alarming article about what is happening to our

the kinds of numbers that we would expect if an economic depression was
starting. The following is an excerpt from that article…

The Sanders appeal is twofold. He is seen as unusually
honest and consistent for someone who’s held elected office for much of his
life, plus he advocates a refreshingly anti-establishment view on
core issues that matter to an increasing number of Americans. These include
militarism, Wall Street bailouts, a two-tiered justice system,
the prohibitive cost of college education, healthcare insecurity and
a “rigged economy.” While Hillary is being forced to pay lip service to
these issues, everybody knows she doesn’t mean a word of it. She means it
less than Obama meant it in 2008, and Obama really didn’t mean it.
