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.

Odds Are Stacked Against Equity Investors Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/04/2016 –  
 ..
 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.

POLITICS

"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.

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.

Buchanan: 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?

WASHINGTON BLOG


Posted on May 4, 2016 by WashingtonsBlog.  By Michael Snyder, the Economic Collapse Blog.

Wolf Richter of WolfStreet.com On Wednesday, he posted a very alarming article about what is happening to our rail industry.  The kinds of numbers that we have been seeing recently are 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.
