globalization is over. Financiers know it, they documented with graphics
"The Fed hiked rates not because it believes the economy is
getting stronger, but because it is desperately trying to catch up — before the next crisis...They
are now trying to normalize the balance sheet... The projection is that it
could take 10 years to achieve. The problem is we might not make it that far
before the entire system collapses... We’re in a new reality."
Quantitative Tightening and
Wall Street
Eventually, the amount of securities they don’t roll over
will go up until the balance sheet controlled by the Fed comes down to the
targeted figure. The projection is that it could take 10 years to achieve. The
problem is we might not make it that far before the entire system collapses.
We’re in a new reality.
By raising rates and leaving open the possibility of further
increases, all of the monetary actions being taken are tightening the economy.
The Fed’s QT policy that aims to tighten monetary conditions, reduce the money
supply and increase interest rates will
cause the economy to hit a wall.
The decision by the Fed to not purchase new bonds will be
just as detrimental to tightening of the economy as raising interest rates.
The economy is slowing. Even
without any action, retail sales, real incomes, auto sales and even labor force
participation are all declining. Every important economic indicator shows
that the US economy is slowing right now. When you add in rate hikes and QT, we
may very well be in a recession by later this year.
The Fed is tightening into
weakness.
Because they’re
getting ready for a potential recession where they’ll have to cut yet again.
Then it’s back to QE. You could call that QE4 or QE1 part 2.
The point is that the Fed has
essentially trapped itself into a state of perpetual manipulation.
This is what Wall Street doesn’t understand. It’s still
operating from outdated assumptions on how the business cycle works.
Those on Wall Street continue to
have models that build according to the old reality, not the new one.
The reality is that the market is fundamentally set up for a fall. The
fact is that the Fed has no
idea what it is doing. I would expect a severe stock market correction
coming sooner than later.
While the Fed may act to try and bail out the stock market
and Wall Street again, they’re not going to be bailing out you and me.

replace the ones that are being automated away, huge disruptions would still await. Large portions of the global workforce
would still
need retraining. And if work
becomes a luxury, widespread joblessness and greater inequality could make it increasingly more difficult for the
government to maintain social order.

Snowden: NSA Fail: Massive Holes Exposed in US Spy Agency Security https://sputniknews.com/military/201706261054965770-massive-holes-in-NSA-security/
Until
the Snowden leaks, the United States had no idea how many people had access to
its top secret files.
Prior
to the earthshaking revelations wrought by the disclosures
of NSA-contractor-turned-whistleblower Edward Snowden, the security
apparatus of the United States was ignorant as to how many
of its own operatives had access to its most secret information
for download and transfer, according to a new declassified government
report.
The declassified report,
in a heavily redacted form, was obtained through a Freedom
of Information Act lawsuit brought by the New York Times.
It
revealed that US security agencies, including the NSA, found that conforming
to new mandates to limit access to sensitive information was
almost impossible, as the agencies themselves were unaware of the
number of employees and contractors who had been granted access.
“Portions of the
declassified report that were not redacted revealed that authorities
at the NSA asserted to the inspector general that they had misplaced a "manually kept
spreadsheet" that documented how many privileged users
existed, in spite of multiple requests for the information.”

Comey Testimony: 'We Now Know That CIA, NSA and FBI Were Leaking Like a Sieve' https://sputniknews.com/us/201706091054465104-comey-testimony-intel-agencies-leaking/
Former FBI chief James Comey’s
congressional testimony underscored how the US intelligence community has been leaking
stories repeatedly to embarrass President Donald Trump and sabotage his bid to
improve relations with Russia, former CIA analyst and
political activist Ray McGovern told Sputnik.
Comey admitted in his
testimony to the Senate Intelligence Committee on Thursday that
"the main" point of a February New York Times article alleging Trump aides were in cahoots with Russian spies was
just plain wrong.
"We now know that the
CIA, the NSA and the FBI — the three main institutions in what I call
the ‘deep state’ — were leaking like a sieve," McGovern said
when asked about Comey’s testimony on Thursday. "They were making sure Trump was disabled in his policy
on Russia."

Qatar Emir Remains Committed to Developing Ties With Iran Despite Gulf Row https://sputniknews.com/middleeast/201706261054966805-qatar-iran-gulf-row/
Emir of
Qatar Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani held a phone conversation on Sunday
evening with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani and expressed commitment to
develop the bilateral relations in all fields despite the ongoing diplomatic
row in the Persian Gulf.
According
to Al Mayadeen broadcaster, the Qatari Emir said that Doha "is
seeking a complex development of relations and cooperation with Iran
in order to solve the problems of the Islamic world, which is
currently in a difficult situation."
Rouhani, on his part, expressed hope that the regional
crisis would be settled by diplomatic means, according to the
broadcaster.
"Air,
land and sea space will always be open to the brotherly country and
neighbor — Qatar," Rouhani stressed during the conversation.

Not Negotiable: North Korea Sticks to Its Guns on Nuclear Weapons https://sputniknews.com/military/201706251054964388-dprk-weapons-program-not-negotiable/
Pyongyang has reminded Seoul that
its nuclear weapons program will continue, regardless of any diplomatic overtures
for [ FAKE ] peace.
In a Sunday editorial published
by the state-run Rodong Sinmun newspaper, North Korea promised
to continue its development of nuclear weapons and the ballistic
missiles necessary to deliver them to any target on the planet, regardless of whether bilateral diplomatic negotiation
takes place, according to a report by Yonhap News Agency.
Seoul and Washington must stop attempting to get
Pyongyang to end its nuclear weapons program, the editorial took an
offensive tone, asserting the increasingly isolated nation's right
to defend itself as it pleases.
"We should make every effort
to strengthen our national defense with the nuclear capability
as the backbone," the editorial stated.
"Our self-defensive
nuclear deterrent force is never subject to any kind
of negotiations, " the statement added, cited by Yonhap.

Washington, Beijing Put the Screws to Pyongyang with Renewed Sanctions https://sputniknews.com/asia/201706221054895537-us-china-economic-sanctions-pyongyang/
As part of an ever-intensifying
effort to lean on North Korea’s nuclear program, China and the United States
have agreed to further tighten sanctions on N-k. Specifically, they are banning
American and Chinese companies from doing business with North Korean
industries.
For years, and particularly
since the beginning of the most recent crisis, Washington has urged
Beijing to put more pressure on Pyongyang, which heavily relies
on China for imports and exports. Eighty-five percent of North
Korea's imports in 2015 came from China, according to the
Observatory of Economic Complexity.
For the most part, China has
not done this. Until mid-April, they were importing far more coal
from North Korea than allowed by the UN. According to the
Japanese Nikkei Asian Review, China reduced coal
imports in April but has also quadrupled iron imports
since 2016 to make up for the loss.
TILLERSON’ STORY
US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and
Secretary of Defense James Mattis met with Chinese State Councilor
Yang Jiechi and Chief of Joint Staff General Fang Fenghui, during the
inaugural Diplomatic Secretary Dialogue on Wednesday.
"We both agreed that our
companies should not do business with any UN-designated North Korean
entities in accordance with these resolutions," Tillerson told
reporters following the meeting, adding that Washington sees North Koreas
as a "top security threat."
Tillerson
added: [Note that Trump crea

"We reiterated to China that they
have a diplomatic responsibility to exert much greater economic and
diplomatic pressure on the regime if they want to prevent further
escalation in the region,"
"Countries around the world and
in the UN Security Council are joining in this effort and we
hope China will do their part as well," he
said, referring to the new round of sanctions that went
into effect at the beginning of June. These sanctions
mostly target North Korean financial institutions such as Koryo Bank and
the Kangbong Trading Corporation.
Tillerson recognized:
"While
I greatly appreciate the efforts of President Xi & China to help
with North Korea, it has not worked out. At

Possible Reason Why Israel Struck Syrian Army Position in Golan Heights https://sputniknews.com/middleeast/201706251054962393-why-israel-struck-syrian-army-golan-heights/
The
Israeli Air Forces on Saturday attacked the Syrian government forces' tanks and
artillery positions after 10 projectiles fell on the Israeli-controlled part of
the Golan Heights from Syria.
The
Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced that projectiles fired from Syrian
territory hit an open area in the northern Golan Heights with no
injuries as a result of the incident. News confirmed by IDS: Syria's
Projectiles Land on Israeli Part of Golan Heights Causing No Casualties - IDF
Syrian
channel al-Mayadeen reported that at least two Syrian soldiers were killed
as a result of the Israeli airstrikes.
Israel
official story:
"In
response to over 10 projectiles launched from Syria, IAF aircraft targeted origin of launches
& 2 Syrian tanks," the IDF stated.
Following
the attack the Israel’s Defense Minister, Avigdor Lieberman, said that Israel would not tolerate encroachments
on its sovereignty and security, even in the form of stray
shelling.
“We will respond strongly,
resolutely and with level-headedness to any such case,”
Lieberman added.
Syrian’
story:
However,
the IDF attacked the Syrian Army’s positions despite the statements
of the Syrian Army that the missiles toward Israel were
launched by accident as it happened during a terrorist rebuttal
in Syria.
A source
on the ground told RIA Novosti that at that time the Syrian
army was indeed resisting a major attack on the city of al-Baath
in the province of Quneitra from al-Nusra Front. [ implying that Israel attack was in support of al-Nustra
offensive ]
On
Sunday, a similar incident occurred with the IDF
again targeting the Syrian government troops' positions after several projectiles from Syria landed
in the Golans.
The
majority of such incidents are described by the Israeli military
as accidental overspills during clashes between the Syrian
government forces and opposition groups.
The real issue is Golan Height: preserving control over the Golan
Heights is a strategic issue for Israel.
DISPUTE
OVER GOLAN HEIGHTS:
The fertile lands of the Golan Heights were part
of Syria up until 1967.
As a
result of the Six Day War in 1967 the border area passed
under the Israeli protectorate. In 1981, the Israeli parliament
voted to annex two-thirds of the region.
The United Nations has
repeatedly stated that Israel’s occupation of the Golan Heights is
illegal, calling for it to be returned
to Syria.
Damascus
also continues to consider the Golan Heights as illegally annexed. Some
experts have noted that the settlement of the crisis in Syria will
allow Damascus to direct its efforts on returning the lost
territories.
Some reports suggest that
recently the Israeli military is showing force to Syria due to the
alleged plans of the Harakat Hezbollah al-Nujaba movement to create a
brigade to liberate the Golan Heights from Israeli occupation.
The Harakat Hezbollah al-Nujaba
movement, an Iraqi Shiite militia organization, has formed a brigade
to liberate the Golan Heights from Israel, spokesman for the
movement, Seyed Hashem Moussavi said earlier.
“After recent victories (in
Syria), we have established the Golan Liberation Brigade," al-Moussavi said at a press conference,
as quoted by the Tasnim News Agency.
He added, "If the Syrian government
requests, we are ready to take actions to liberate Golan."
THE
GOLAN LIBERATION BRIGADE: the battle for liberation has started
According to the spokesman, the Golan
Liberation Brigade is made up of highly equipped and well-trained special
forces.
Earlier, in May 2016, as a result
of the Israeli Air Force airstrike on the outskirts of Damascus,
the head of the Hezbollah special services, Mustafa Badr al-Din, was
killed.
On March 17, the Israeli Air Force once again
struck Syria and was fired upon in response from anti-aircraft
installations.
According to Damascus, the Syrian
anti-aircraft gunners managed to shoot down one of the four IDF
aircraft. The Israeli side categorically denies this, claiming that all the
aircraft returned to the base unscathed, while the S-200 missiles launched
from the territory of Syria were shot down by the Israeli
missile defense system.
