`"...anybody with any objective,
critical, independent mind can tell this is an unsustainable, very ephemeral rally in stocks that has occurred
since 2009. And when the bond market breaks, when
that bubble bursts, it will wipe out every asset -- everything will collapse together --
because everything is geared off of that so-called 'risk free' rate of
return."

It
appears the American People are losing faith in the American Dream as no matter
how much the American President tells the pigeons that everything is awesome, they
are just not buying it. In fact, according to
the latest survey by the University of Michigan, the
percentage of US consumers who are 'uncertain' about the economy has never,
ever been higher...

US ECONOMY IN FLAMES
"...after every single two-term presidential election (i.e.
when the incumbent changes) and there is a 100% track record of a recession within
the next 12 months. It
either starts just beforehand or starts afterward, but within 12
months there is a 100% chance of a recession...Even if they do raise rates, the yield curve will
flatten like crazy... I think the Fed is almost an irrelevance at this
point."

The
naive hopes of Bernie Sanders’ supporters - to build a grass-roots political
movement, change the Democratic Party from within and push Hillary Clinton to
the left - have failed. The multibillion-dollar extravaganza of our
electoral Circus Maximus is part of the smokescreen that covers the ongoing
devastation of globalization, deindustrialization, trade deals such as the
Trans-Pacific Partnership, endless war, climate change and the intrusion into
every corner of our lives by the security and surveillance state. Our democracy
is dead.

At a time when Russia has suffered a recession any other G20 Central
Bank or government finding itself in such a position would surely focus on ending the recession, not on further reducing
inflation from what is by Russian standards an
already historically low level. Russia
however is different.

WASHINGTON BLOG
By Craig Murray, former British
ambassador
Virtually every
mainstream media article or broadcast on the United States aerial massacre of
Syrian government troops, manages to work in a reference
to barrel bombs as though this in some way
justifies or mitigates the US action.
If a bomb were to drop near me, I would much prefer it to be
a barrel bomb as it would be less likely to kill me than the UK and US
manufactured professional variety. If however my guts were to be
eviscerated by flying hunks of white hot metal, I would not particularly care
what kind of bomb it was. The blanket media use of
“barrel bomb” as though it represents something uniquely inhumane is a
fascinating example of propaganda, especially set beside the repeated ludicrous
claims that British bombs do not kill civilians.

By Eric Zuesse, originally posted at strategic-culture.org
1: The FBI chose to ‘investigate’
the most difficult-to-prove charges, not the easiest-to-prove ones (which are the six laws that she clearly violated, simply by her privatization and
destruction of State Department records, and which collectively would entail a maximum
prison sentence of 73 years).
The famous judge Jed
Rakoff has accurately and succinctly said that, in the
American criminal ‘justice’ system, since 1980 and especially after 2000, and
most especially after 2010, “the
prosecutor has all the power.
The Supreme Court’s suggestion that a plea bargain
is a fair and voluntary contractual arrangement between two relatively
equal parties is a total myth. … What really puts the prosecutor in
the driver’s seat is the fact that he — because of mandatory
minimums, sentencing guidelines (which, though no longer mandatory in the
federal system, are still widely followed by most judges), and simply his
ability to shape whatever charges are brought — can effectively
dictate the sentence by how he publicly describes the offense.”
Columnist Debra J. Saunders put
it this way: “The mandatory
minimum sentencing system effectively has allowed federal prosecutors to
choose defendants’ sentences by deciding how to charge them.” If an
Administration wants to be merely pretending an ‘investigation’, it’s easy:
identify, as the topic for the alleged ‘investigation’, not the criminal laws
that indisputably describe what the suspect can clearly be proven to have done,
but instead criminal laws that don’t.
Prosecutorial discretion is now practically unlimited in the
United States. This discretion is an essential feature of any dictatorship. It’s the essence of any system that
separates people into aristocrats, who are above the law, versus the public,
upon whom their ‘law’ is enforced. It’s the essence of “a nation of
men, not of laws.” But,
different people focus on different aspects of it. Conservatives notice it in Clinton’s case because she was not
prosecuted. Progressives notice it in Clinton’s case because other people (ones without
the clout) who did what she did (but only less of it), have been
prosecuted, convicted, and sentenced for it. The result, either way, is dictatorship, regardless of anyone’s particular perspective
on the matter. Calling a nation like that a ‘democracy’ is to strip “democracy”
of its basic meaning — it is foolishness. Such a nation is an aristocracy, otherwise called an
“oligarchy.” That’s the opposite
of a democracy (even if it’s set up so as to pretend to be a democracy).
