The pressure for international currency for trade &
banking continue
The price of Bitcoin seems to have briefly exceeded the price of gold
for the first time this week; however, this comparison is completely arbitrary. Gold remains
the only true global money with a size and volatility comparable to that of
fiat currency.

With the Dow Jones rising excruciatingly close, or within 0.37 points
of 20,000 on Friday only to let down the market cheerleaders in the last
minute, it would appear that there is nothing one can throw at a market which
is determined to keep rising no matter what happens in the world. So leave it to our favorite skeptic, Citi's Matt King to throw a fly in the ointment by asking how is it possible
that "nothing sticks to markets."
King proposes one possible reason: perhaps analysts were
overly pessimistic going into the election and year end, which is possible considering the "most synchronized DM upturn
in years".
... an upturn, which however, has been largely predicated by
the reflexivity of soaring stock markets, which in turn have spiked not on
actual news, but front running the "everyone's-a-winner-under-Trump" trade...
... which however may never actually materialize in practice, and which could very well also lead to a recession as the surging dollar leads to a global GDP slump while paralyzing financial conditions (see recent record FX volatility in China).
As King then notes, earnings bullishness gets you only so
far, and as the chart below shows, the recent surge in global stock prices is
not a function of earnings, but expanding P/E multiples relative to Trasuries, which
then prompts him to ask why, now that yields are surging, "shouldn't we be
discounting using higher bond yields."

bond yields."
This is turn prompts
King to propose one of his trademark rhetorical questions: "There Is something strange going
on" adding that "something doesn't smell right" in a world in which uncertainty is soaring yet
spreads are collapsing, as SocGen first pointed out last month in its "most
frightening credit chart", even as leverage also keeps rising.
What is the "key
ingredient" in the mix that makes sense out of this market chaos? Simple:
according to King, central bank buying of anything that is not nailed down is
the "missing link."
His final rhetorical question: how long until this tipping
point happens?
The answer: 50 basis points.
Now if only a 50 basis point spike in real yields would also put
an end to all the other "strange things" taking place in
a world which is burning every day, yet where the Dow Jones is partying like
it's 19,999.

In the realm of investing, an example of “fake
news” is the claim by some market participants that a “great rotation” will
take place from bonds to stocks. Despite a sharp rise in interest rates during
the past six months and a drop in the market value of debt holdings, we expect
minimal asset rotation away from debt and into equities during 2017.

The US intelligence
community has released the unclassified findings of its investigation into what
it says was Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election, and Russia's
RT.com apparently takes a significant chunk of the blame, "by
serving as a platform for Kremlin messaging to Russian and international
audiences." Or does
it?
…
[[ Is really RT the one that manufacture the mind of
international audiences? That is
the real blame on RT. The next step will be prohibiting RT in the West, and
-with the same argument- the American press inside Russia will be cut too .. Final result: a fascistic suppression of Press Freedom
at world level. Is that possible in America? .. So far we are inundated by fake news and people go to RT to balance
INFO. Press Freedom can be cut for a little while (if
we start the nuke 1st strike) but once the tit-for tat comes, the
Nation will demand the truth and our Econ & Pol system will be under fire,
if still alive. Now that the teck-info Rev is totally decentralized it won’t be
possible the hide the truth. So far we know that the purpose of creating the
scum on RU is to start the WW3 and blame RU for it. That is the purpose of
blaming RT. However, all nations knew that we were the masters of war and
terrorism and we know also that we arrive to the limit in which war and
terrorism became obsolete to define geo-political supremacy. If happens WW3 there
will not be winners (MAD thesis will prevail), if this war mongerism is not stopped now. Not even
in the previous century the strategy of silencing the truth won all audiences in
favor of Nazi’ German and Italy’ fascitic regime? . They failed. It didn’t work
at that time and much less will work today .. Can you
imagine the chaos if the internet and the media is cut one single day? ..
Simply : the neoliberal system will collapse immediately. “Las bolsas de
valores” will be closed and forever. Wall Street and similar will disappear
once INFO-teck is cut and worse if WW3 starts. Armed “commandos populares” will
target them inside and abroad. This is that this stupid scum on RT and RU will
create and it is that the owners of our system (bankers & big corp
profiting from wars and manufacturing WMD) are intending to do. WW3 is a very idiotic proposal. ]]

Santiago told the F.B.I. he thought he was
being mind controlled, possibly by the U.S. government or the C.I.A. and
admitted hearing voices, which Santiago said told him to
study “extremist materials on the Internet,” the New York Times reports.
Despite the fact that Santiago himself, his girlfriend, and even co-workers
warned authorities of his experiences the F.B.I. failed to detain him before
his travels to Florida.

Grillo wants to break that chain. And he’s got a recipe to do it. It may not be perfect or
foolproof, but who cares when it’s replacing something that no longer functions
at all, that just drags us down and threatens our children’s lives? Our so-called democracies exist to
please our leaders and elites, not ourselves. And we’re unlikely to figure that
one out until it’s way too late."

Shortly: after the liberation of
Aleppo, al-Qaeda fighters in the Barada Valley outside
Damascus dumped diesel fuel into the water supply to the city on December 22. Obviously,
this made the water supply impossible to consume and, on December 23, the
Syrian military launched a campaign to retake the area and to restore the
city’s water supply.
According to
the Moon of Alabama website, photos were even posted online showing the
water treatment plant rigged with explosives but those photos were, according
to MOA, removed from the internet.
Despite hostilities, the Syrian government is ready to send
teams to restore water to Damascus, the lack of which only punishes civilians
and holds a vast number of people hostage under the possibility of thirst. Terrorists,
however, are denying access to the site and, instead, are offering to allow
teams access the facilities on the condition that the Syrian military and
Hezbollah end their military siege of the city. In effect, the terrorists are
holding the people of Damascus hostage for military gain.

By Brandon Turbeville Natural Blaze
A study by Ibrahim
and Okasha entitled “Effect
of genetically modified corn on the jejunal mucosa of adult male albino rat.,”
and published in the journal Experimental and Toxicologic Pathology has
demonstrated that rats fed GM Bt corn MON810 for only 90 days did indeed suffer
rather serious damage to the surface mucous membranes of the jejunum – which is
part of the small intestine.
The specific type of
corn fed to the rats was MON810: Ajeeb YG. This is a GM version of Ajeeb, which
is a local species of corn grown in Egypt. The GM version was created by
Monsanto for the Egyptian market.
The rats who were fed
the GM corn were given the MON810 corn as 30% of their diet. The control group
was given the same amount of non-GMO corn.
In the group fed GM
corn, the finger-like structures in the intestine known as villi that absorbs
nutrients from food were clearly damaged. They were both distorted and
flattened and some cells were even joined together.
