"NOAA has always known that the US is not warming...All of the
claims in the Climate Central article are bogus. The US is not warming and 2016 was not a hot year in the
US. It was a very mild year."

We
expect global monetary authorities to protect the dollar as long as they can
and we expect them to fail. Stocks and bonds will react violently; stocks
and weak credits falling, treasuries prices rising (at first). That failure will lead to hyperinflation – not driven by demand, but rather by central bank
money printing. A new global monetary understanding
will then emerge.

"The
budget of many prospective buyers last month was dealt an abrupt hit by the
quick ascension of rates immediately after the election,” NAR chief economist
Larry Yun said. "Already faced with climbing home prices and minimal
listings in the affordable price range, fewer home shoppers in most of the
country were successfully able to sign a contract."

Courtesy of record low rates throughout most of
2016, overall debt issuance in the year rose to just over $6.6 trillion,
breaking the previous annual record set in 2006. Corporations accounted for
more than half of the $6.6 trillion, while the rest included sovereign bonds
sold through syndication, US and international agencies, mortgage-backed
securities and covered bonds.

The most remarkable feature of today's auction
was the foreign demand: at 71.4% for Indirect Bidders (with 24.5% for
Dealers and 4.1% for Directs), this was

Soros warning on

Open
societies are in crisis, and various forms of closed societies – from fascist

versions of democracy and capitalism. Open society needs defending...

Following his earlier tweet to president-elect
Trump thanking him for his "warm
friendship," Israel PM Benjamin Netanyahu lashed out at US
Secretary of State John Kerry's speech
as "biased against Israel," as he said Israel
"will never have true peace" with the Arab world if it does not reach
an accord based on Israelis and Palestinians living in their own states. Netanyahu will
make a statement shortly...

Judge Michael Baylson of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern

WORLD ISSUES and ME
"The outgoing US administration still
hopes to have time to do something else for bad relations with Russia... Frankly, we are tired of the lies about the
"Russian hackers", which continues to flow into the United States
from the very top...It only remains to add that if Washington really
takes new hostile steps, it will get
the answer."

According to a recent report by Ritterbusch, US drillers are returning to work at a far
faster than anticipated pace. This would allow US producers to grab "a significant portion of OPEC's market

AS I said before: nothing said from the US on China is

In what seems a remarkably quick and aggressive response to 'fake news'

7.00/$. The 6 handle flash-crash was not

Paying for the mistake of leaving

In the latest attempt to provoke Russia, less
than two weeks after the Russian ambassador in Turkey was assassinated, moments
ago the Russian foreign ministry said in a statement that the Russian embassy
in the Syrian capital of Damascus was shelled twice on Wednesday afternoon; the
ministry calling it a provocation aimed at derailing peace settlement in the
country.

We Should Have Known …
We’ve known for 5,000 years that mass spying on one’s own people is
usually aimed at grabbing power and crushing dissent, not protecting us from
bad guys.
We’ve known for 4,000 years that debts need to be periodically
written down, or the entire economy will collapse. And see this.
We’ve known for 2,500 years that prolonged war bankrupts an economy.
We’ve known for 2,000 years that wars are based on lies.
We’ve known for 1,900 years that runaway inequality destroys societies.
We’ve known for 1,700 years that torture is a form of terrorism.
We’ve known for thousands of years that debasing currencies
leads to economic collapse.
We’ve known for millenia that – when criminals are not punished – crime
spreads.
We’ve known for thousands of years that the rich and powerful
try to censor their critics under the guise of heresy.
We’ve known for hundreds of years that the failure to punish financial fraud destroys
economies, as it destroys all trust in the financial system.
We’ve known for centuries that monopolies and the political
influence which accompanies too much power in too few hands are dangerous for
free markets.
We’ve known for hundreds of years that companies will try to pawn
their debts off on governments, and that it is a huge mistake for governments
to allow corporate debt to be backstopped by government.

Here’s a grab-bag of resolutions
with something for just about every persuasion.
1. I resolve to never
utter or write the word “Trump” in 2017. (Good luck with that…)
2. Having watched
bitcoin rise from $250 (or perhaps from $25 or even 25 cents) to $900+, I
resolve to finally buy some bitcoin before it soars over $1,000. (Please file
under “this is intended as bemused commentary, not financial advice.”)
3. I resolve to lose
the weight I should lose by changing my entire mindset and way of life rather
than by following a diet.
4. I resolve to accept
the reality that the two political parties are devoid of productive ideas and
solutions, because real solutions would hinder the parties’ primary purpose,
which is vacuuming up contributions to fund their eternal grab for power.
5. I resolve to stop
watching network and local TV “news.” (If it bleeds, it leads.)
6. I resolve to
cancel my subscription to the Washington Post and every other newspaper and
magazine that hyped the fact-free, evidence-free claim that Putin was
responsible for the Democrats losing the election.
7. I resolve to adopt
an exercise/fitness plan I can actually follow: one sit-up a week, one jumping
jack a week, etc.
8. I resolve to
accept that living in my parents’ basement playing videogames all day is not a
trajectory into responsible adulthood.
