"...the more central banks persist in erring on the side of too
much stimulus rather than too little, amid changing economic and
fiscal conditions, the greater the potential need for a sudden shift in monetary policy that,
while economically warranted, could be
quite jarring for markets... and investors may be underestimating as
judged by market metrics, including measures of implied volatility."

In Treasury Secretary nominee Steven Mnuchin's written responses to Senate questions, he made it clear that the
"strong dollar" policy may not always be his priority as he noted "an excessively strong dollar may be
negative in the short-term."

It’s
important to understand what this means. The fact that the dollar is overvalued isn’t
some big prize. It’s not an indication that America is #1, the dollar is King,
or that the US economy is strong. This
is a bubble...

Annual regulatory compliance and economic
impact costs amount to $1.8 trillion, which is roughly equal to all personal
and corporate income tax collections. This
is equivalent to roughly $20,000 per employee for all US firms, and $30,000 per
full-time employee for small firms.

Investors need to be cognizant of, and
understand why, the chorus of arguments
in favor of short-sighted and flawed strategies are so prevalent. The
meteoric rise in passive investing is one such “strategy” sending an important
and timely warning. Just remember,
everyone is “passive” until the selling begins.

By
definition, pricing in a 'black swan' is impossible, but while VIX slumbers
along near record lows, options professionals appear to be extremely worried
about the potential for a huge downside tail-risk event. With SKEW at over 146,
markets have only been more fearful of a collapse twice in its 27 year
history...

POLITICS
Shortly after Donald Trump made good on one of his core campaign
promises on Monday morning by signing an executive
order formally withdrawing the U.S. from the Trans-Pacific Partnership
free-trade deal, Trump
told labor union leaders that he would renegotiate
the North American Free Trade Agreement "at the appropriate time."

Syrian
Woman Tells Story Of Torture, Rape, Oppression Under America’s Moderate FSA
“Rebels” In Syria
While the Western corporate media continues to paint
terrorists in Syria as being partially moderate and partially extreme, the
reality of the situation has become so obvious to those paying even a modicum
of attention that scarcely anyone takes such reports seriously. As
corporate outlets make outrageous and unproven claims about the “crimes against
humanity” of Assad and allege that citizens of Aleppo are committing mass suicide as
government forces liberate the city, Syrians have a
much different story to tell.
Take, for instance, the story of a 21 year-old Syrian woman
who was forced to live with America’s “moderate” FSA rebels, who is now so
ashamed of her appearance after having been tortured and burned by America’s
freedom fighters, that she keeps her faced covered as she gives her
interview. As Syrian writer and analyst (a Syrian living in Syria), Afraa Dagher wrote
for Syria News,
It should convince its viewers that FSA
“jihadists” are the same, and even worse, than those horrific acts of “ISIS.”
The life under the so-called moderate rebels in the eastern
neighborhoods occupied by NATO armed and funded by the US was not one of freedom, despite reports from CNN and others.
These were the monsters that UN Spec Stefan de Mistura
wanted my country to grant autonomy to, after he ostentatiously offered
himself as human shield for terrorists to “…leave in dignity with your weapons…I
personally am ready, physically, to accompany you.”

The source of the angry angst
rippling through the Democratic Party’s progressive camp is not President
Trump–it’s the complete collapse of the Left globally. To understand this collapse, we turn (once again) to
Marx’s profound understanding of the state and capitalism.
We turn not to the cultural Marxism that is passingly
familiar to Americans, but to Marx’s core economic analysis, which as Sartre
noted, is only taught to discredit it.
Cultural Marxism draws as much from Engels as Marx. In today’s
use, cultural Marxism describes the overt erosion of traditional
values–the family, community, religious faith, property rights and limited
central government–in favor of rootless Cosmopolitanism and an
expansive, all-powerful central state that replaces community, faith and
property rights with statist control mechanisms that enforce dependence on the
state and a mindset that the individual is guilty of anti-state thinking
until proven innocent by the state’s own rules.
Marx’s critique of capitalism is
economic: capital and labor are in eternal conflict. In Marx’s
analysis, capital has the upper hand until the internal contradictions of
capitalism consume capital’s control from the inside.
Capital not only dominates labor,
it also dominates the state. Thus the state-cartel version of
capitalism that is dominant globally is not a coincidence or an outlier–it is the
the only possible outcome of a system in which capital is the dominant
force.

[[ Only fascist
regimes eliminate the dem- right to public contestation. Most women
demonstrations happens the day after T-inauguration. The aim: to contest the misogynous
bias & other stereotypes against inclusion said by Trump during his campaign.
Women, latinos and gays has the right to say “Trump is not their President” because
the language used against them. To repress them (or try to dissolve their
pacific meetings with police gas o gun-riot, that carries the intention of provoking
people’ violent reactions. Such
provocation violates principles of freedom, equality n justice –the cornerstone
of democ- in our society. THAT IS FASCISM. Those
who disagree with Allende in Chile got protection from the police to make their
public meetings. When the fascist regime of Pinochet came to power (thanks to Kissinger
& Milton Friedam) the right to public contestation
was brutally eliminated. Trump’ policy on protesters is wrong, if prove that
the police intentionally provoked peoples’
violent reactions (destruction of building, cars, etc). If 1 video shows that
the police blockage the meeting and use tear gas against them, the police
caused the violence, they were the rioters. ]]
