"It’s quite shocking to me... It’s very harmful to the
shareholders... It is manipulation and it’s used frequently. Yet, the exchanges
don’t step in because the exchanges are owned by the banks... the self policing system doesn’t work
because no one wants to police themselves because they’re all making too much
money."

As the Dollar Index surged post-manufacturing
data, WTI Crude began to lose altitude from its overnight ramp. Combined with
ongoing concerns over Libya's production ramp, crude just crashed from over 55.00 to under 53.00 in minutes on heavy
volume...

In a terse and non-deferential response to president-elect Trump's
tweet, GM has responded with a statement which can be summarized in two words: "you're
wrong."

"S&P 500 will rally to 2400 in 1Q 2017
alongside enthusiasm over corporate tax cuts but budget constraints will limit
the magnitude of tax reform and fiscal spending and the index will fade to 2300
by year-end."

The better than expected Manufacturing data in
the US has promoted further USD buying, sending the USD Index above 2016 highs back to it highest since Dec 2002.

For the umpteenth year in a row, mainstream
economists and analysts are once again planting the seeds of hope for a return
to stronger GDP growth. The White House
has hoped for it for the last 8 years, and now President-elect Trump is all but
promising a surge in economic growth. Unfortunately, while promises
are great, we must analyze the reality of attaining such a lofty resurgence.

"Part of us thinks we should just sell the
inauguration. After all, what incrementally positive and exciting outcomes
could be produced in the first few weeks after that? We are worried that there
is an arrogance in telling people that they should be worried, but to stay
bullish for now."

"The reflation trade was strong out of the
gate but has reversed a decent amount heading into the afternoon - the question
isn’t why stocks have come in from their highs but instead why they were so
strong to begin with."

"As federal officials investigate
suspicious Internet activity found last week on a Vermont utility computer, they
are finding evidence that the incident
is not linked to any Russian government effort to target or hack the utility.
Officials told the company that traffic with this particular address is found
elsewhere in the country and is not
unique to Burlington Electric, suggesting the company wasn’t being targeted by
the Russians."

President-elect Trump is on a roll today.
Following House
Republican's vote to strip the Ethics Office of independence, Trump lashed
out with a tweet suggesting Congress'
time be better spent on other things... and just minutes ago, following an
emergency meeting, Republicans have confirmed the amendment has been pulled.

Those decrying the loss of centralized control
and narratives are in essence decrying
solutions to the new problems we face.

"The majority of Americans, regardless of who they voted for, did not vote for racism, for sexism, or for
xenophobia. And yet, Donald Trump won. And since he won, hate crimes are rising, women have been
attacked in his name, people of color have been attacked in his name."

"If
you thought 2016 was a big WikiLeaks year 2017 will blow you away. Help WikiLeaks
prepare for the showdown."

The U.S. establishment is not content simply to have control
over the media narratives on critical foreign policy issues, such as Syria,
Ukraine and Russia. It wants total
domination.

For now, Amazon's the 300K+ workers are mostly
safe as much of the stowing and picking of items, which require fine motor
skills and discernment, is done by human brains and hands. That is changing,
however, as robots become increasingly more sophisticated.

Apparently
New York's Governor doesn't think that misinformed government policies are
doing nearly enough to drive up college tuition costs. As a result,
he has decided to offer "free" tuition at public state and city
colleges to any student whose parents earn less than $125,000.

In what may be both good and bad news for the
ECB, German inflation jumped more than expected in December, hitting the
highest level in more than three years, according to preliminary data.

Whether due to the spate of new measures or for
some other reason, despite concerns of a flood of FX conversions from Yuan to
Dollars on the first day following the Yuan reset, there was little evidence at
Beijing and Shanghai banks on Tuesday that Chinese individuals were rushing to
lock in 2017 quotas to buy foreign exchange.

La idea de un mundo sin guerras en cinco
momentos cruciales de la historia contemporánea D L Para
que eso sea posible hay que aplastar al imperio que es quien vive y lucra de
las guerras. Hay que usar la fuerza del enemigo para lograrlo, como en el judo.
La Rev rusa no habrÃa sido posible sin la 1ra guerra mundial, ni la de China
sin la 2da. El imperio creo y creará con las guerras a su sepulturero.

VEN Disculpe, pero… ¿para qué cambiamos el año? Aram Aharonian Nos lo cambiaron el 16, pero el 17 lo rescataremos. Aquà luchamos por
Sanders, pero a ese le faltó cojones y visión polÃtica. La Rev no lo necesita mas. El
Partido socialista para la Rev USA nacerá en lucha directa contra el fascimo. El labor está con el pueblo, los
soldados también y las capas medias con mayor razón aún. Los de arriba están condenados
a dividirse y comerse entre ellos. La corrupción al por mayor los dividirá y la
gula por el fácil USD los pondrá bajo la mira! Quizá ni tendremos nosotros que
apretar el gatillo. Tienen muchos enemigos y fuera y todos querrán hacerlo.

Con fe en el futuro Ileana Alamilla Por encima de la fe esta la razón

fila de la lucha contra tiranos y lo estarán aún más ahora.
