DILUSIONS BEFORE YELLEN STATEMENTS
"The question is not “when” we will enter collapse; we are
already in the midst of an economic collapse. The real
question is, when will the uneducated
and the biased finally notice? I suspect the only thing that will
shock them out of their stupor will be a swift stock market drop, since this is
the only factor they seem to pay attention to. This will happen soon enough."
In my article 'The
Trump Collapse Scapegoat Narrative Has Now Been Launched', I discussed the ongoing and highly obvious
plan by globalists and international financiers to pull the plug on their fiat
support for stock markets and portions of the general economy while blaming the
Trump Administration (and the conservative ideal) for the subsequent crash.
Numerous economic shocks and negative data which had been simmering for
years before the 2016 elections are rising to the surface of the normally oblivious
mainstream.
My position according to Trump's
behavior and cabinet selection is that he is aware of this agenda and is
playing along. That said,
there is another important issue to consider - the participation of the
ignorant in helping the Ponzi con-game continue.
For those of us who were
analysts before the derivatives crash of 2008, this mindset is nothing new.
I remember the complete
arrogance present in the mainstream just before the implosion; the sneering and
attacks that were used in an attempt to silence anyone with the guts to openly
suggest the fundamentals and the data did not support the investment
exuberance. I remember many people asserting that that the economy's progress
was unstoppable, that another crash like 1929 was impossible, that the real
estate market was an invincible engine. They were all wrong, yet, they were so
confident. Most of these same people still work in the financial press to this
day. Imagine that...
I would prefer to point to the
hard data on hand than mere mainstream opinion. Maybe I'm a little paranoid, but I've already seen
mainstream analysts fail on numerous occasions.
First, consider the fact that the Federal Reserve,
the key component along with other central banks around the world in the rise
of stock markets, is now cutting off the flow of easy money through continued
interest rate hikes. I
predicted this move back in 2015 when almost everyone said the Fed
would go to negative rates instead. Without no-cost Fed money to feed the
machine, stock
markets have essentially stalled, and now, there is talk of a “tech
dump” on the horizon. With the vast majority of
gains in equities the past year attributed to only five major companies, all of
them tech oriented, this would be a disaster for stocks.
This is a considerable shift away from the last few years,
in which it was expected by many that markets would expand exponentially for
the foreseeable future. Now that the Fed's quantitative
easing and near-zero interest rates have been removed as fuel, the true
economic picture is becoming clear, even to the mainstream.
According to the
Atlanta Fed, US
GDP in the first
quarter of 2017 has declined to 0.7% , going back to lows
touched on in 2014 after the Fed reduced QE.
102 million working age Americans
do not currently have a job. This includes the 95 million
Americans not counted by the Bureau of Labor because they assume these
people have been unemployed so long they “do not want to work”.
Thousands of retail outlet
stores, the primary engine of the American economy, are set
to close in 2017.
Sweeping bankruptcies and downsizing are ravaging the retail sector, and
internet retailers are not taking up the slack despite highly publicized
growth. In 2016, online retail sales
only
accounted for 8.1% of all retail sales.
Oil
inventories continue to amass as US energy demand
declines. Declining energy demand is a sure sign of overall economic
decline. OPEC and other entities continue to argue that “too much supply” is
the issue; an attempt to distract away from the reality of lower consumption
and the falling wealth of consumers.
Corporate earnings expectations
continue their dismal path, suggesting
that stock markets have been supported by central bank stimulus and blind
investor faith in central bank intervention. The stimulus is now being cut off.
How long before investor faith is finally lost?
These are only a few of the
MANY data points that paint a very ugly picture for the US economy. The rest of
the world is just as tenuous if not worse.
This is why when I hear the
phrase “doom and gloom” I have to laugh and think of the shoe shine boys.
It is unfortunate that so many people only track stocks
when accounting for economic health.
The question is not “when” we
will enter collapse; we are already in the midst of an economic
collapse. The real question is, when will the
uneducated and the biased finally notice? I suspect the only
thing that will shock them out of their stupor will be a swift stock market drop, since this is the only
factor they seem to pay attention to. This will
happen soon enough.

"Initially, these caps will be set at
relatively low levels, $6 billion per month for treasuries and $4 billion per
month for agencies. So any proceeds exceeding those amounts would be
reinvested. These caps will gradually rise over the course of a year to
maximums of $30 billion per month for treasuries and $20 billion per month for
agency securities, and will remain in place through the normalization
process."

"If the Fed were to just let its balance sheet 'run off', it would cause additional pressure
on short-term interest rates even as policy rates are rising. It could also
potentially invert or further distort the front-end of the yield curve and

It would, therefore, behoove
the Fed to sell some of its longer dated Treasury holdings to steepen the yield curve."

More Fake News? WaPo’s Unnamed Sources Reveal Trump May Have Obstructed Justice https://sputniknews.com/us/201706151054643374-fake-news-washington-post-trump/
The
Washington Post wants you to know that “Democracy Dies in Darkness,” but when
it comes to sourcing their biggest breaking stories — Wednesday’s being that US
President Donald Trump himself is under the Department of Justice special
counsel’s magnifying glass — the Post can’t find anyone with a name to step
into the light.
When asked whether he thought
Trump had obstructed justice, Comey told West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin, “I
don’t know. That’s Bob Mueller’s job to sort that out.”
“We briefed the congressional
leadership about what Americans we had opened counterintelligence investigation
cases on,” Comey testified, “and we specifically said the president is not one
of those Americans, but — that there was no other investigation
of the president that we were not mentioning at that time. “
While the Washington Post
basks in the glow of praise from establishment Trump critics
desperate for cause to impeach the 45th US president, the rest
of us will have to sit idly by — in the dark. Said the The Post and
the Times.

Iran Sends Its Warships to the Gulf of Aden, Here's Why https://sputniknews.com/middleeast/201706141054610896-iran-warships-gulf-aden/
On
Sunday, Iran's 47th Navy flotilla, comprised of Alborz destroyer and Bushehr
logistic warship, set sail on its voyage to Oman. It will further go to the
north of the Indian Ocean and the Gulf of Aden. Sputnik Persian talked to
Iranian political analysts, who explained why Tehran is demonstrating its naval
military might.
Today, the Gulf of Aden
littoral states have joined hands to prevent our naval flotillas
from docking in there with the purpose of indirectly
blocking our presence in high seas and international waters,” it quoted
Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari as saying in the ceremony marking the
start of the 47th Navy flotilla’s mission.
Sayyari also made it clear
that Iranian flotillas pursue two main objectives in their overseas
missions: ensuring security of shipping routes and foiling Iranophobia
attempts.
"Iran regards it
as its duty to preserve safety of the regional countries,
especially in the joint water basin, hence we should not interconnect
these maneuvers with any external factors, and with the Qatari crisis
in particular," Hossein Ruyvaran, Iranian political analyst, an
expert on the Middle East and the Arab world who teaches at the
University of Tehran and former director of Iran's regional state TV
station in Beirut told Sputnik.

In
mid-December, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani ordered the Atomic Energy
Organization of Iran (AEOI) to start developing nuclear power units for ships,
in response to a possible violation by the United States of the Iran nuclear
deal.
"There is the Iran
nuclear agreement itself. And there is also a Joint Comprehensive Plan
of Action which was signed later. Moreover, there is, as the
Americans call it, a gentleman’s agreement or unspoken agreement
on certain measures labeled as the 'spirit' of the JCPOA,"
Abshenass told Sputnik Persian.
