ZERO HEDGE
ECONOMICS
If "everything is awesome" as Hillbama proclaim
(though there is more work to be done...) and stocks are backed by the
"strength of the economy," then why are
Americans' views of their financial prospects crashing to their lowest since
2014...?

With ugly retail sales and wholesale inventories data
rising, the business inventories data rose more than expected (+0.2% vs +0.1%)
leaving the inventories-to-sales ratio still deep in recessionary territory.
Notably while the overall ratio decline, autos increased to cylce highs at
2.28x. For the 18th month in a row, annual changes in
sales declined and inventories rose.

Despite this week's Macy's-driven retail sales exuberance
-
following BofA's suggestion that all was not
well - the official retail sales print shows July was ugly... Retail
Sales (ex Autos/Gas) fell 0.1% MoM (missing expectations of +0.3%) to the
weakest since January. The headline data was flat MoM (dramatically
missing the +0.4% expectations). The drop was driven by weakness in gas station
and sporting goods sales (along with department stores... apart from Macy's?). Perhaps most worrying however is the mere 2.3% YoY growth in
headline retail sales - a level that has signaled recessionary conditions in
the past.

The question that
needs to be answered is will
it normalize because investors (and The ECB) bid up high yield bonds or because
the complacency in the stock market erodes away?

Until the notion that wealth and
prosperity can come from a printing press is eradicated from the thinking of
policymakers, economies
around the world will remained mired in this malaise. Jobs created through government money creation and
heavily protectionist laws and regulations will not meet the needs of
consumers, will add nothing to productivity, and ultimately will not last... economic stagnation is the unfortunate but predictable
result.

From the May lows at
316, US oil
rigs have risen 10 of the last 11 weeks to 396, tracking lagged
oil prices almost perfectly still. Oil prices had rallied all morning into the
rig count data but the 15 rig rise - the biggest since Dec 2015 - sent prices lower...

Since the removal of
restrictions on exporting U.S. crude oil in December 2015, the number of
countries receiving exported American oil has risen sharply. Here are the
biggest buyers of US oil.

Stocks are very expensive. Bonds
are insane. Bank rates are
negative for many large investors. These trends are pretty clear - there will likely be more debt, more money printing, more
capital controls, and more monetary insanity in the future...And if you
understand them, the case
for owning at least a small amount of gold is obvious.

WE HAVE TO GO BEYOND MILITARISTIC NEOLIBERALISM
Hugo Adan. Aug 12-16. These
are preliminary comments on the Art below:
Introduction
The
notion that something good might come out of a Trump policy elicits
guffaws in certain economic circles. However, by insisting that
the U.S. Treasury label China a “currency manipulator” and by promoting trade that is both “free and fair,” Mr.
Trump may be laying the groundwork for a significant
breakthrough in international monetary relations - one that could
ultimately validate
the rationale for an open global marketplace and restore genuine free trade as
a vital component of economic growth. www.zerohedge.com

THIS COULD BE THE 4TH
NAIL IN THE COFFIN of HILLARY
As reported earlier, the Clinton Foundation is
allegedly under
investigation for corruption by the US Attorney
General.
Moments ago, when we
showed the newly
released Clinton 2015 tax return, we posted a rhetorical question: "how much of the Clinton charity donations went to the
Clinton Foundation? Taking a deduction for contributing to the employer
of your daughter and expense payer of your husband is awesome."
We now know the answer: as page 29 of the tax return
reveals, of the $1,042,000 in
charitable cash contributions, exactly $1 million went to, you guessed it, the
Clinton Family Foundation, whose expenses
pay among others those Clinton family members and friends employed by the
foundation, like Chelsea Clinton who happens to be the foundation's Vice Chair.
Is this the ultimate Clinton reacharound?
This report comes with a list of some of the other key
employees at the foundation and the
Board of Directors: http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-08-12/96-clinton-donations-went-clinton-foundation
The other $42,000
went to the Desert Classic Charities, which hosts an annual gold event.
As reported earlier, the Clinton Foundation is allegedly under
investigation for corruption by the US Attorney
General.

THE LAST LIE OF CLINTON:
Clintons
Release 2015 Tax Returns, Reveal $10.6 Million In Income, 34% Tax Rate
As AP reports, Hillary Clinton's campaign says the Democratic nominee and her husband paid a federal tax rate of 34.2
percent and donated 9.8 percent of their income to charity last year.
Here her Tax record: http://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/images/user5/imageroot/2016/08/03/hillary%20tax%20rate_0.jpg

[[ Trump is still fixing
his tax-lie for the decade: When he finish .. both of them Hillary &
Trump can be disqualified from the electoral race, if US Laws prevail. Their
felony is too big to be pardoned.. For Nov 4 elections both parties from the
oligarchy has to nominate new candidates.. or the electoral system has to be canceled.
We are not going to accept any candidate from the current rigged
system. The PEOPLE’s FRONT lead by Dr. Jill Stain has new
chances to get the Presidency and America an honest lady in power. She is
getting now more than 25% of the electorate, and she can beat the neocon libertarian
from the GOP, if they support their pussycat
libertarian by consensus . This could be the next political panorama, if international wars
and economic meltdown allowed. These two factors have to be avoided at
any cost: the inequality is too explosive & the
nation too divided to afford the disaster of nuke war and economic depression.
War won’t unite nation, it will polarized. ]]

If previuos nail
is small.. THIS COULD BE THE 4TH NAIL in
HILLARY’ COFFIN
Multiple FBI investigations are
reportedly underway involving potential corruption charges against the Clinton
Foundation, according to a
former senior law enforcement official... The actions are "seen by agents as a positive
development as prosecutors there
are generally thought to be more
aggressive than the career lawyers within the DOJ.”

While oil longs and Saudi Arabia
are enjoying this week's latest, substantial short squeeze, prompted if not so
much by the latest set of
cheerful, if repetitve, IEA "rebalancing" forecasts, the
fundamental reality as confirmed not only by a recent Morgan Stanley report which
sees oil dropping to the mid-$30s, but also by the just released Baker Hughes oil rig count which
reported a spike of 15 rigs in the past week, the most since 2015, suggests
that there is more downside pressure in store for oil. Some are already
actively hedging for just that.

One day after all
three US indexes hit record highs for the first time since December 31, 1999,
US equity index futures, European stocks and Asian equities are little changed
after the Nikkei jumped on the back of a Yen weakness, while China reported
disappointing economic data and the PBOC suggested that the flood of new debt is slowing which pushed Chinese stocks higher by
1.6% on hopes of more stimulus.

HILLARY’ LIE IS BIGGER THAN OFFICIALY DECLARED IN TAX RECORD
SHE LIE BEFORE AND
LIE AGAIN..
Her decade report
doesn’t show this. Now we have this
documented info:
by Carl Herman
Since 2001, the
Clinton Foundation has raised ~$2 billion for “charity,” but with tax records revealing only 10% of money went for programs, with apparently ~50% going directly to Bill and Hillary Clinton (and here, here).
A 35-second summary from Judge
Jeanine Pirro; full 5-minute interview:
ROTTEN FOUNDATION
VIDEO URL: https://youtu.be/O1RU4e0fnBc
Clinton committed
obvious federal felonies from operating a private government through her
personal e-mail while Secretary of State. She lies continuously about these facts, including
that she
received and sent classified and confidential information. The “missing”
and deleted e-mails are likely to show her trading State Department favors for
Clinton Foundation donations; a primary motivation to have a private e-mail
server in order to keep these communications secret. Top 5 criminal lies by
Hillary Clinton in two minutes:

CLINTON CASH OFFICIAL DOCUMENTARY MOVIE (FULL)
HERE:
In addition, the Clintons deducted over a million
dollars from their 2015 federal taxes for “charitable donations”: 96% of
which went to the Clinton Foundation.
10% for charity, 90% for us scam
same as “retirement funds”
Public employee
retirement accounts have “investment strategy” that pay Wall Street “advisors”
twice as much as the cash paid to retirees. This scam has a net rate of return
often costing taxpayers money rather than generating income to pay for
retirees.
