Following the LIBOR scandal, the EBC has launched its own benchmark interest rate
In 2012, an international investigation confirmed that some banks had been rigging LIBOR to inflate their profits. With several financial markets publishing alternative benchmarks, the European central bank is aiming to consolidate its own. The world's most important number is on its last legs. The London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) may not be particularly well known outside of financial circles, but most people will have been affected by it in some way or another.

Gold, Silver, Oil soar, Nikkei shares slip as U.S. and Iran trade threats
Japan's Nikkei .N225 slid just over 2% in a sour return from holiday, while E-Mini futures for the S&P 500 ESc1 fell 0.5% in very choppy trade. Oil prices added to their gains on fears any conflict in the region could disrupt global supplies. Brent crude LCOc1 futures rose $1.46 to $70.06 a barrel, while U.S. crude CLc1 climbed $1.24 to $64.29.
Iraq's parliament on Sunday recommended all foreign troops be ordered out of the country after the U.S. killing of a top Iranian military commander and an Iraqi militia leader. Spot gold XAU= surged 1.5% to $1,579.55 per ounce in jittery trade and reached its highest since April 2013.
Silver is up 2.1x%-cap #3-it's mentioned rarely becuase they don't want you to know.
MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan .MIAPJ0000PUS slipped 0.7%. Chinese shares opened in the red too, with the blue-chip CSI300 index .CSI300 off a shade while Australian shares were off 0.4%. Sovereign bonds benefited from the safety bid with yields on 10-year Treasuries US10YT=RR down at 1.769% having fallen 10 basis points on Friday. Treasury futures TYc1 gained 5-1/2 ticks. In currency markets, the Japanese yen remained the favored safe harbor courtesy of Japan's massive holdings of foreign assets. Investors assume Japanese funds would repatriate their money during a true global crisis, pushing the yen higher. On Monday, the dollar was last at 107.98 yen JPY=, after falling to a three-month trough of 107.78 earlier in the session. The euro likewise eased to 120.55 yen EURJPY= having hit a three-week low. The dollar was steadier against the other majors, with the euro little changed at $1.1161 EUR=. Against a basket of currencies, the dollar was holding at 96.86 .DXY.
The risk sensitive currencies of Australia AUD=D3 and New Zealand NZD=D3 were on track for their fourth straight session of losses.

FTSE chief executive 'earn' average salary within three days.
FTSE 100 chief executives starting work on 2 January will by 17:00 GMT today have been paid more than the average wage of £29,559, the report suggests.
The data was compiled by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development and the High Pay Centre think tank.
Business Secretary Andrea Leadsom said the apparent pay gap was "concerning".
The figures - based on the latest available data - suggests the average FTSE 100 chief was paid £3.46m in 2018, equivalent to £901.30 an hour.

BOJ's Kuroda says will guide policy carefully with eye on Iran tensions
bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda said on Monday the central bank would conduct monetary policy "carefully" while scrutinising overseas economic risks, such as escalating tensions between the United States and Iran.
"Conditions regarding the U.S.-China trade tensions and geopolitical risks are such that we can't have any preset idea on how things could unfold," Kuroda said in brief remarks at a New Year's gathering of commercial bankers.

Q Research General #9883: There Is No Step 5 Edition
2020 will be all about the great unmasking and control.
In 2019 central banks once again succeeded in masking all the underlying problems in the economy, the underlying structural problems of debt, deflation and demographics, and the slowing of global growth and offering the pretense that 2019's policy responses were nothing but a complete system failure acknowledging that markets can't stand on their own two feet without central bank intervention. In process asset prices were artificially inflated across the board and valuations pushed far above the growth and size of global economies and volatility once again compressed.
2020 is then all about whether control over asset prices can be maintained and whether reflation can be achieved to support exaggerated asset prices or whether failure on either count will bring about the great unmasking of the largest asset bubble since the year 2000.
Bond markets and economic data so far shows few signs of true reflation as key individual stocks ($MSFT, $AAPL) are vastly extended and markets are in a state of imbalance partying like it's 1999.
Optimism is high for 2020 and bulls enter the year in full control. The price target charade offers again positive outlooks despite all economic and growth projections having been off base.
Trust is placed in a phase one China trade deal to be signed on January 15 that nobody has seen or read or has any insight into specifics as to how it will bring about reflation.
Trust is placed in an administration keen on continuing to push asset prices higher into the US November election, even outlining specific asset price targets. (DJIA 32K).
Trust is placed in central banks to keep all troubles contained and to continue to "calm markets" as unexpected events such as the most recent Iran crisis pop up.
Markets are priced to perfection and the first quarter is likely to see a larger first correction. The historical script suggests that the first sizable correction of 2020 will get bought for a new rally to either new highs or lower highs.
It is the unfolding of economic data and earnings throughout the year that will then need to show evidence and match the high expectations priced into markets. Without such evidence markets and global economies may well proceed on the path of the great unmasking that the structural economy has been pointing toward for a while.
While central banks have successfully again kicked the can, they have yet to prove that reflation can be achieved. Non confirmation signals keep increasing as does the list of factors that need to be ignored to keep the 'it's different this time' narrative alive.
Join me in this week's market video for an in-depth discussion of technicals and key macro factors/concerns that suggest risk may be greatly misprized :

Soleimani has a long terror history, globally.
Tower: The United States Treasury Department, working with authorities in the United Arab Emirates, broke up a money laundering scheme that provided millions of dollars to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Qods Force (IRGC-QF), Reuters reported Thursday.
Treasury designated six individuals and three business entities for their role in the scheme. The UAE, where companies facilitating the money laundering were located, but the same people and entities on its list of terrorists and terror organizations that do business with the IRGC-QF.
In a statement announcing the new sanctions, Treasury Secretary Steven T. Mnuchin said, "The Iranian regime and its central bank have abused access to entities in the UAE to acquire U.S. dollars to fund the IRGC-QF's malign activities, including to fund and arm its regional proxy groups, by concealing the purpose for which the U.S. dollars were acquired. As I said following the President's announcement on Tuesday, we are intent on cutting off IRGC revenue streams wherever their source and whatever their destination. Today we are targeting Iranian individuals and front companies engaged in a large-scale currency exchange network that has procured and transferred millions to the IRGC-QF."
Mnuchin thanked the UAE for its "close collaboration" in disrupting the money laundering and called on all nations to "be vigilant" in fighting Iranian attempts at money-laundering to "fund the nefarious actors of the IRGC-QF and the world's largest state sponsor of terror."

Argentina Minister Signals 'Strict' Currency Rules to Stay
Argentina's "strict" foreign-exchange regulations will remain in force as the government seeks to stabilize the economy, the Pagina/12 newspaper reported Saturday, citing Production Minister Matias Kulfas. Lawmakers last month handed President Alberto Fernandez extraordinary powers to renegotiate debt terms with creditors and increase taxes, marking a victory on his first legislation since taking office last month.
"In the current context, strict exchange rate regulations are inevitable," Kulfas, a former central bank official with unorthodox views and close ties to the president, said in an interview with the newspaper. Ensuring the stability of the economy is "absolute priority," Kulfas told the newspaper. While the currency policies could be reviewed as growth normalizes, "for the medium term, we will have to live with the current system," he added.
Argentina is looking for novel ways to finance its upcoming foreign-denominated coupon payments, including recent peso-denominated bond sales. Its total debt load stands at $332 billion, including loans from the International Monetary Fund. Outstanding debt with private bondholders is about $148 billion. The country needs a mechanism to lower the value-added tax for consumer products, targeting the poorest, Kulfas told the paper. The government will renegotiate electricity and gas rates, and ensure fuel prices are close to those of international crude.
The government will also analyze a trade deal between Mercosur, the South American trade bloc, and the European Union, and the impact on the productive sector.

I remember seeing a list last year of ALL the banks in the world being owned by the Rothschilds, that's every bank that you could think of, even local regional banks.
Only 4 countries did not have a central bank owned by the Rothschilds, like Libya, and the Jewish Cabal had our ZOG gov't bomb the shit out of most of these 4 countries.
Libya went from being one of the richest nations on the African continent to a bombed out shithole.

Obama send pallets of cash to Iran in 2016, where it didn't arrive (only 400 million for prisoners exchange. 1.3 billion never went to Iran. Where did the 1.3 billion go?)
Since when flourished the MEK so much? Poor → Rich.

FOMC Minutes Give Timeline Of Fed "Transitioning Away" From Repo Liquidity Bailout
Since statement and press conference on Dec 11th, where Powell reiterated that The Fed would be on hold unless something yuuge "material reassessment in the outlook" happened, gold is the best performing asset-class (outpacing stocks) as the dollar has been the laggard…And while it has been volatile, expectations for Fed actions (implied by the market) in 2020 are now slightly more dovish than before the Fed meeting…once again pricing in at least one rate-cut this year.
Thirteen of 17 officials forecast rates would be unchanged through the 2020 U.S. presidential election year, according to updated economic projections issued at the time, with four penciling in a quarter-point increase.
Of course, the big issue that The Fed was quietly panicking about was the repo crisis, which they have extinguished (for now) thanks to hundreds of billions of dollars puked across the 'turn' to ensure the holes are filled. As we noted previously, the price of year-end stability was $414 billion… $256 billion in repo injections ($211.4 term and $44.3 in overnight) and $157.5 bn in Bill purchases. All of which has lifted stocks globally…And as a reminder, The Fed has begun - for all intent and purpose - monetizing US debt.
* * *
So what exactly are investors looking for in the Minutes that could spook markets? Not much in the traditional sense. "The Fed is trying to keep the market liquid. Their comfort with the repo market is much less clear-cut. It does feel like a work in progress."
But money-market participants are anxiously awaiting any signals that The Fed might give on its longer-run operational plans (as Fed's Evans hinted earlier today at a standing repo facility - bailout fund - going forward).
"Any views on repo markets outlined in the minutes should probably be adjusted for the year-end results, which on net have likely bolstered the Fed's confidence that they have regained control of repo markets," NatWest strategists led by Blake Gwinn say in Friday note
Information on the Fed's longer-run operational plans or even their "perceived role in stabilizing funding rates or tolerance for volatility," would be welcomed, they said. NatWest expects the central bank to start pulling back on their direct repo involvement in early 2020, and to start tapering their reserve-adding bill purchases in 2Q
And so the highlights from the Minutes include:
*FED: RATES LIKELY APPROPRIATE FOR A TIME ABSENT MATERIAL CHANGE
*FED: MANY SAW RISKS SOMEWHAT TO DOWNSIDE, SOME RISKS HAD EASED
But…
*FED: EXPECT TO TRANSITION AWAY FROM ACTIVE REPO OPS MID-JAN
That is not what the market was hoping for.

central bank of Iceland completes merger with regulator
The central bank of Iceland completed its merger with Iceland's financial regulator on January 2. The central bank now has responsibility for supervision and macro-prudential policy, as well as its previous monetary policy mandate. "The merger gives rise to a strong and independent institution whose objective is to enhance trust, transparency and efficiency in the administration of economic affairs and financial supervision in Iceland," the central bank said in a statement.

Q Research General #9856: Iran Next? DS Losing more Ground Edition
Turkish State banks Sell $1 Billion to Spare Lira From Rout
Turkish state lenders sold between $1 billion and $1.5 billion to stem the lira's decline on Friday, according to three people with knowledge of the matter. The sales appear to have been triggered by a global flight from riskier assets as tensions between the U.S. and Iran escalated, two of the people said.
The lira slipped as much as 0.4% amid the rout to a seven-month low of 5.9781 against the dollar, posting one of the smallest declines across emerging-market currencies. State banks have sold dollars to prop up the lira over the last year, especially in times of heightened volatility, traders say. The currency is a key economic barometer for voters and a driver of consumer confidence. But the practice has been a source of controversy, with speculation mounting the sales amount to veiled intervention by the central bank. It's also made trading the lira less attractive for foreign investors.
In the run-up to municipal elections in March, state banks sold as much as $15 billion to support the currency, according to traders' estimates. In the second week of October, transactions amounted to at least $3.5 billion amid fears that punitive measures from Washington could deal a fresh blow to the Turkish economy.

They shipped that gold to UAE
Some went to France and some went to Germany - as this was right at the time that Germany asked for it's gold reserves back from the US Gov.
The US Gov didn't have it, and to save face they had to do something quick.
Mali was next - France went in there and scooped their gold next.
https://www.libyaobserver.ly/economy/55-tons-libyan-gold-smuggled-uae
Official records have revealed that 50 to 55 tons of Libyan gold - worth 3 billion dollars -have been smuggled to the UAE in recent years, according to the database of foreign commerce authority of the planning ministry of the Presidential Council's government.
The database did not specify the time of smuggling or whether or not the gold belonged to the central bank of Libya (CBL), however; sources confirmed that the smuggling happened after 2011.
The New Arab newspaper reported the CEO of the authority Ali Grira that gold smuggling to UAE has been on the rise lately, calling for ceasing to such acts.
"We have issued very accurate data about the smuggling and we have documents for it." Grira added.
Smuggling of Libyan gold has seen a hike lately due to lack of security and inspection. Observers say the gold is being sent to Dubai to make easy money out of currency exchange rates.
Libya's gold reserves are 143.8 tons in fourth place on the Arab world after Algeria and Lebanon and Saudi Arabia - the number one country in terms of gold reserves.
Many Libyans have resorted to selling gold due to the dire economic conditions in the country and lack of cash at the banks.

3. Qaddafi has nearly bottomless financial resources to continue indefinitely, according to the latest report we have received:
On April 2, 2011 sources with access to advisors to Salt al-Islam Qaddafi stated in strictest confidence that while the freezing of Libya's foreign bank accounts presents Muammar Qaddafi with serious challenges, his ability to equip and maintain his armed forces and intelligence services remains intact. According to sensitive information available to this these individuals, Qaddafi's government holds 143 tons of gold, and a similar amount in silver. During late March, 2011 these stocks were moved to SABHA (south west in the direction of the Libyan border with Niger and Chad); taken from the vaults of the Libyan central bank in Tripoli.
This gold was accumulated prior to the current rebellion and was intended to be used to establish a pan-African currency based on the Libyan golden Dinar. This plan was designed to provide the Francophone African Countries with an alternative to the French.franc (CFA).
(Source Comment: According to knowledgeable individuals this quantity of gold and silver is valued at more than $7 billion. French intelligence officers discovered this plan shortly after the current rebellion began, and this was one of the factors that influenced President Nicolas Sarkozy's decision to commit France to the attack on Libya. According to these individuals Sarkozy's plans are driven by the following issues:
a. A desire to gain a greater share of Libya oil production,
b. Increase French influence in North Africa,

UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05779612 Date: 12/31/2015
c. Improve his intemai political situation in France,
d. Provide the French military with an opportunity to reassert its position in the world,
e. Address the concern of his advisors over Qaddafi's long term plans to supplant France as the dominant power in Francophone Africa)
On the afternoon of April 1, an individual with access to the National Libyan Council (NLC) stated in private that senior officials of the NLC believe that the rebel military forces are beginning to show signs of improved discipline and fighting spirit under some of the new military commanders, including Colonel Khalifha Haftar, the former commander of the antiQaddafi forces in the Libyan National Army (LNA). According to these sources, units defecting from Qaddafi's force are also taking a greater role in the fighting on behalf of the rebels:
After Gaddafi's murder: Al Qaeda flags fly proudly over Benghazi.
And interestingly enough, this letter is among those which Clinton did NOT classify; apparently she didn't see anything particularly damning in it.
After all, what would the Libyans have done with all that gold anyhow? Just built schools, hospitals, irrigation projects, and funded African development? All laughably unimportant, compared to such goals as:
Strengthening Sarkozy's political position at home
Putting Hillary Clinton into the White House; or
Solidifying Bernard-Henri Lévy's reputation as the "moral conscience" of our time. (If "moral conscience" includes such notions as promoting colonial wars and genocide.)

Helicopter Money Is Here: How The Fed Monetized Billions In Debt Sold Just Days Earlier
The Fed's charter prohibits its from directly purchasing bonds or bills issued by the US Treasury: that process is also known as monetization and various Fed chairs have repeatedly testified under oath to Congress that the Fed does not do it. Of course, the alternative is what is known as "Helicopter Money", when the central bank directly purchases bonds issued by the Treasury and forms the backbone of the MMT monetary cult.
But what if there is at a several day interval between Treasury issuance and subsequent purchase? Well, that's perfectly legal, and it's something the Fed has done not only during QE1, QE2 and QE3, but is continuing to do now as part of its "QE4/NOT QE."
Here's how.
On December 16, the US Treasury sold $36 billion in T-Bills with a 182-day term, maturing on June 18, 2020, with CUSIP SV2. And, as shown in the Treasury Direct snapshot below, of the total $34.3 billion in competitive purchases, Dealers acquired $23.7 billion.

Helicopter Money Is Here: How The Fed Monetized Billions In Debt Sold Just Days Earlier
The Fed's charter prohibits its from directly purchasing bonds or bills issued by the US Treasury: that process is also known as monetization and various Fed chairs have repeatedly testified under oath to Congress that the Fed does not do it. Of course, the alternative is what is known as "Helicopter Money", when the central bank directly purchases bonds issued by the Treasury and forms the backbone of the MMT monetary cult.
But what if there is at a several day interval between Treasury issuance and subsequent purchase? Well, that's perfectly legal, and it's something the Fed has done not only during QE1, QE2 and QE3, but is continuing to do now as part of its "QE4/NOT QE."
Here's how.
On December 16, the US Treasury sold $36 billion in T-Bills with a 182-day term, maturing on June 18, 2020, with CUSIP SV2. And, as shown in the Treasury Direct snapshot below, of the total $34.3 billion in competitive purchases, Dealers acquired $23.7 billion. What happened next?
For the answer we go to the Fed's POMO page, which shows which specific T-Bill CUSIPs were purchased by its markets desk on any given POMO day when Dealers sell up to $7.5 billion in Bills to the Fed.
Exhibit 1: on December 19, just three days after the above T-Bill was issued and on the very day the issue settled (Dec 19), Dealers flipped the same Bills they bought from the Treasury back to the Fed for an unknown markup. Specifically, of the $7.5BN in total POMO, the SV2 CUSIP which had been issued earlier that week, represented the biggest bond "put" to the Fed, amounting to $3.9 billion, more than half of the total POMO on that day, and by far the most of any CUSIP sold to the NY Fed's markets desk on that day.
But wait, there's more.
Exhibit 2: during the next POMO conducted the very next day, or December 20, and just four days after the issuance of T-Bill SV2, which as a reminder saw $23.7 billion in Dealer purchase, those same Dealers flipped more of the same Bills they "bought" from the Treasury back to the Fed. Why? To once again pocket the unspecific markup the Fed generously provided to them just because they are Dealers. Of the $7.5BN in total POMO held on Dec 20, the SV2 CUSIP once again represented the single biggest bond "put" to the Fed, amounting to $1.6 billion, the most of any CUSIP sold to the NY Fed's markets desk on that day.
So what is going on? Well, for all those saying the US may soon unleash helicopter money, and/or MMT, we have some 'news': helicopter money is already here, and the Fed is now actively monetizing debt the Treasury sold just days earlier using Dealers as a conduit… a "conduit" which is generously rewarded by the Fed's market desk with its marked up purchase price.
In other words, the Fed is already conducting Helicopter Money (and MMT) in all but name. As shown above, the Fed monetized T-Bills that were issued just three days earlier - and just because it is circumventing the one hurdle that prevents it from directly purchasing securities sold outright by the Treasury, the Fed is providing the Dealers that made this legal debt circle-jerk possible with millions in profits, even as the outcome is identical if merely offset by a few days.
Perhaps during Fed Chair Powell's next Congressional hearings, someone actually has the guts to ask the only question that matters: why is the Fed now monetizing US debt, and pretending it isn't doing so just because it grants Dealers a 3-day "holding" period, for which it then rewards them generously?

Q Research General #9832: Scavino for the Sauce! Edition/
China Cuts Reserve Ratio By 50bps Ahead Of January's $400 Billion "Liquidity Hole"
Just three days after China quietly cut rates by 20bps when it ordered banks to switch from the traditional Benchmark 1 year rate to the new Loan Prime Rate (aka China's LIBOR) as the reference rate for new short-term loans, effectively lowering the prevailing rate from 4.35% to 4.15% (in the process further pressuring bank net interest margins), on the first day of the new 2020, the PBOC unveiled widely expected another boost for the slowing Chinese economy: the central bank announced that starting Jan 6, it will lower the required reserve ratio (RRR) - or the amount of money banks are required to have on hand - by 50bps for commercial lenders, in the process releasing about 800 billion yuan ($115 billion) in liquidity from the cash-strapped financial system.
Currently the required reserve ratio is 13% for large banks and 11% for small banks. The cut, which is the first since September, will bring the blended reserve ratio for Chinese banks to the lowest level since October 2007.
The 50bps RRR cut is meant to help banks reduce their lending rate to businesses, the PBOC said in a separate statement, which is ironic because while on one hand the PBOC pressures commercial banks by ordering them to lower the amount of interest they can charge customers by 20bps (with the benchmark rate recalibration), on the other it boosts systemic liquidity to offset the adverse effects of its first action, something we predicted would happen earlier this week, to wit:… with more than half of China's banks failing a recent central bank stress test, the only guaranteed outcome from this weekend's effective rate cut is that, paradoxically, it will only accelerate the rate of failure of China's already cash strapped, and in many cases insolvent, banks. As such we expect that the PBOC will promptly follow through with another RRR cut to offset the adverse side-effects of this particular rate cut, by injecting more liquidity in the banking system.
Of course, it wasn't just us predicting an imminent RRR reduction: the cut was first signaled by Chinese premier Li Keqiang in December 2019. It's also in line with market expectations that the PBOC will increase funding to the financial system in January to ease a liquidity crunch caused by rising local government debt sales and increasing cash demand during the Spring Festival holidays.
As a reminder, two weeks ago we warned that China is facing a potentially destabilizing "liquidity hole" of 2.8 trillion yuan ($400 billion) in January as people across the nation will withdraw cash for the Lunar New Year holiday, which this year falls on Jan 25. China's most important annual holiday is a time when companies and individuals typically need large amounts of cash on hand to pay bonuses, clear debts and cover other expenses. In addition to seasonal cash needs, China's bond market also faces a major maturity deluge, as more than 2 trillion yuan in notes mature in early 2020, and fresh debt to refinance the borrowing thus shoring up economic growth will probably start hitting the market soon.
Sure enough, in addition to offsetting the reduced net interest margin, the PBOC said that the injection will be offset as banks provide more cash to the public before the Spring Festival, and the overall liquidity level at banks will be kept stable. "Prudent monetary policy stance remains unchanged," it added.
It was fears about an impending liquidity shortfall that sent China's 1Month SHIBOR to the highest level in one year, briefly touching 3% a few days ago.However, now that China is engaged in a delicate balancing act, on one hand reducing the amount of cash banks can earn by lending money to customers, and on the other releasing systemic liquidity, the question is whether the PBOC's latest efforts to stimulate the economy will destabilize the banking sector further.
Addressing just this, the PBOC said the planned reduction will save about 15 billion yuan in funding costs for banks in a year, indicating that the benchmark loan prime rate will likely be lowered as banks reduce their submissions for the rate's calculation in late January, which in turn will force the PBOC to cut the RRR further, resulting in an even lower loan prime rates and so forth, which brings to mind a recent striking op-ed published in the Global Times, which predicted that China would be the next major country to cut rates to zero.

when soros launched his first quantum fund, it immediately had offices in london, nyc and the netherlands
while the netherlands own a very disproportional share of US equities, the the largest foreign owners of US equities by far are the money laundering corruption centers such as the cayman islands, england, canada and luxemberg.
in general, europe as a whole owns our equities and much of it appears to be criminal wealth from offshore money laundering centers. Asia holds our long term debt by contrast.

Angola hits 'Princess' dos Santos with asset freeze
Angola has frozen the assets of Isabel dos Santos, the billionaire daughter of the country's previous leader, in a sign that President João Lourenço is taking a tougher line against the former first family. Since ending José Eduardo dos Santos' nearly 40-year grip on power in 2017, Lourenço has been trying to erase the influence of his predecessor and reform sub-Saharan Africa's third-largest economy.
The move against Isabel dos Santos comes as the ex-president's son, José Filomeno de Sousa, faces corruption charges, accused of helping transfer $500 million from the sovereign wealth fund.
Called "Africa's wealthiest woman", Isabel dos Santos amassed a fortune estimated at more than $2 billion through stakes in Angolan companies including banks and the telecoms firm Unitel, earning her the nickname "the Princess". She chaired the state oil company Sonangol before being sacked by Lourenço months after he came to power.
A court document dated Dec. 23 said the government believed Isabel dos Santos, her husband Sindika Dokolo and Mário Leite da Silva, chairman of Banco de Fomento Angola (BFA), had caused the state losses of more than $1 billion.
"The state through its companies Sodiam (a diamond marketing firm) and Sonangol transferred enormous quantities of foreign currency to companies abroad whose beneficiaries are the defendants, without receiving the agreed return," the court said. "The defendants recognize the existence of the debt but allege that they do not have the means to pay." A Lisbon-based spokesman for Isabel dos Santos said she had not yet issued an official statement on the court ruling.
Dokolo said a statement was being prepared. Reuters was unable to reach da Silva, and BFA did not answer calls seeking comment.
Isabel dos Santos has previously denied wrongdoing during her father's time in office.
She tweeted late on Monday: "I would like to leave a message of tranquillity and confidence to my teams … We will continue, every day, in every business, doing our best and fighting for what I believe in for Angola. The road is long, the truth will prevail. United we stand stronger."
The asset freeze applies to personal bank accounts of dos Santos, Dokolo and da Silva in Angola and stakes they hold in Angolan firms including Unitel, BFA and ZAP MIDIA. Dos Santos is believed to live in Portugal and Britain and to have a significant portion of her wealth offshore. The court said the central bank would ensure that no funds leave the Angolan bank accounts of the three accused.
The boards of each of the nine Angolan companies affected by the asset freeze must ensure that the relevant stakes are not sold and that no profits from the shares are transferred to the accused.

Maritime Law - and how the different Law`s is for different kinds of people - People vs Individuals.
How the courts see the jurisdiction on land, vs sea
Are most people actually under Maritime law?
If every Birth Certificate are sold, the people are basically under something called corporate law? since their own birth cerificate are "sold" then the legal "parent" of that person if now the "state"? Unless you pay off all your debts, then create your own business in your own "copyrighted" name to get your own person to be the sole authority over the self?
Different laws and juridstictions will have to apply here.
Birth certificate sold = slave to another who own your number?
"When I looked at my own Birth Certificate, I noticed it was a copy of the original. So I went through old boxes and baby books that my Mom had saved before she died and found what I was looking for - my original Birth Certificate. It was brittle and yellowed with decades of age but - wow - it was NOT the original!
What I have learned since is kind of like discovering that you are part of the Matrix. It seems none of us have our original Birth Certificates - they are all copies. And the copies have a serial number on them, issued on special bank Bond paper and authorized by "The American bank Note Company." Huh?
The truth is stranger than fiction. But here it is:
It seems that back in 1913 the United States was short of cash. By the end of World War I, wartime costs had depleted the treasury and there were several really bad financial panics. The country needed to print more money than it had as equity to restore confidence in the money supply and get the economy back on its feet.
When you or I need more money, we use something as collateral and go to a bank for a loan. When a country needs more money it has to go somewhere also. But in 1913 there wasn't anywhere to go. So the US created the Federal Reserve Act. This established a private central bank (The Federal Reserve bank) that would regulate the amount of money the US government was allowed to borrow and put in circulation. It also would expect to be repaid, like any bank, with interest.
After only 20 years things went from bad to worse. During Franklin D. Roosevelt's presidency, in 1933, the US was unable to pay its debt. The county was bankrupt. The private banks that made up the Federal Reserve demanded their money and Roosevelt responded. He had to use the only thing left of any value to pay the banks and continue doing business with them - the citizens of our country. Us."

China's digital yuan takes shape with new encryption law
Beijing enhances control over tools crucial to developing blockchain. China rolls out new rules governing online encryption Wednesday, paving the way for a digital version of the yuan and taking greater control over cyberspace. The national cryptography law, established in October, makes government responsible for setting encryption standards covering both the state and industries. Encryption is divided into three categories – core, common and commercial – and the law grants the Communist Party authority over all three.
Core encryption protects highly classified state secrets, while common encryption safeguards sensitive national data. Beijing will exert strict control over these two categories. The law encourages commercial encryption, geared toward business and private use, as a tool for developing industries. Meanwhile, the central bank is preparing to make China the first large country to mint its own digital currency. The People's bank of China plans a virtual yuan, anticipating that it will decrease the workload at financial institutions. The digital currency also is expected to provide China with greater insight into the financial activities of its citizens.
This virtual yuan will depend on blockchain technology to prevent fraud, and the continued development of blockchain demands advances in encryption. Around the time the cryptography law was enacted, Chinese President Xi Jinping announced plans to devote state resources toward blockchain technology. The legislation thus is seen as crucial for advancing both blockchain and the digital currency. Chinese authorities have tightened regulations on bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Officials look to employ blockchain in preventing fraud related to wiring funds overseas and falsifying records along the supply chain as well as the manufacturing and distribution networks.
China's blockchain industry will grow to 459 million yuan ($65.6 million) in 2022 with the help of state support, the Qianzhan Industry Research Institute estimates, up from just 67 million yuan last year.

central bank Gold Hoarding Hits 50-Year High
While dozens of the world's economic leaders participate in extreme monetary easing policy, central banks have also been hoarding gold. central banks accumulated over 668 tons in gold purchases this year, which is more than 2018's record numbers. In fact, the key drivers in gold demand this year stemmed from central bank purchases, most of which were bought (390 tons) during the first two quarters of 2019.
central bank Gold Purchases in 2019 Surpass Last Year's 50-Year Milestone
During the last few months of 2019, economists have been warning of worldwide economic calamity. Moreover, at least 37 developed central banks have participated in significant monetary easing practices like large-scale overnight repos and slashing interest rates. Every time one of the banks cuts a nation's interest rate or fuels the country's private banks with stimulus, they cite a weak economy, lack of liquidity, and rising inflation. However, most people don't know that while central planners are toying with the global economy, they're also purchasing gold in mass quantity. Despite gold bug Peter Schiff's recent opinion, BTC prices outshined gold gains this year. Still, gold had a very good year touching an all-time high at $1,542 per ounce and gained more than 10% this year. One of the biggest reasons for gold's significant rise was due to central bank purchases.

Chinese President Xi Installs Finance Experts To Avoid "Lurking, Devastating Debt Bombs"
The Chinese president has put 12 former executives at state-run financial institutions in top posts across the nation amid fears of a financial meltdown.
As China struggles to deal with the slowdown of the world's second-largest economy, it has embarked on a new strategy of placing financial experts in provinces to manage risks and rebuild regional economies.
Since last year, Chinese President Xi Jinping (???) has put 12 former executives at state-run financial institutions or regulators in top posts across the nation's 31 provinces, regions and municipalities, including some who have grappled with banking and debt difficulties that have raised fears of a financial meltdown. Only two top provincial officials had such financial background before the last leadership reshuffle in 2012, according to Reuters research.
Among the experts promoted is Beijing Vice Mayor Yin Yong (??) a former deputy central bank governor, and Shandong Deputy Provincial Governor Liu Qiang (??), who rose through the nation's biggest commercial banks, from Agricultural bank of China (??????) to bank of China (????).
Another newly promoted official, Chongqing Vice Mayor Li Bo (??), had until this year led the central bank's monetary policy department.
The appointments - overseeing economies larger than those of small countries - would appear to put those officials in the fast lane as China prepares a personnel reshuffle in 2022, when about half of the 25 members of the Politburo could be replaced, including Chinese Vice Premier Liu He (??), who is leading economic reform while doubling as chief negotiator in trade talks with the US.
"bankers are now in demand, as local governments are increasingly exposed to financial risks," said Feng Chucheng, a partner at Plenum, an independent research platform in Hong Kong. "These ex-bankers and regulators are given the task of preventing and mitigating major financial risks," he said.
The appointments have come as economic growth has slowed to its weakest in nearly three decades, while government infrastructure investment has fallen. Five regional banks were hit with management or liquidity problem this year, raising the prospect of devastating debt bombs lurking in unexpected corners. "We need to be well-prepared with contingency plans," Xinhua news agency said after a major annual economic meeting headed by Xi this month. The economy faced "increasing downward economic pressure amid intertwined structural, institutional and cyclical problems," it said.
With pressures mounting, local governments are expecting to take the lead in managing their financial scares and cutting the cost of rescue with local intervention, analysts said. "Appointing financial vice governors to provinces can help better integrate financial policies into local practice, and to prevent financial risks beforehand," said He Haifeng (???), director of Institute of Financial Policy at the Chinese Academy of Social Science, a government think tank. "Such appointments have also showcased a change of manner in official appointments," He said. Financial executives were long shunned for leadership positions.
banks were nationalized after the Chinese Communist Party took power in 1949 and many bankers were purged during the Cultural Revolution. Xi started to stress the importance of financial expertise and to elevate the status of executives in 2017.
"Political cadres, especially the senior ones, must work hard to learn financial knowledge and be familiar with financial sectors," Xi said in a national meeting on financial affairs.
Half of the 12 former financial executives elevated to provincial leadership posts under Xi were born after 1970.
Liaoning Vice Governor Zhang Lilin ( ???), 48, a veteran banker who spent two decades in the nation's third-largest lender, Agricultural bank of China, was appointed days after three state-controlled financial institutions announced investment in the then-troubled bank of Jinzhou (????)

Trading a Dove for Two Hawks: A Look at the Fed's 2020 Voters
Dove Kashkari, centrist Kaplan replace hawks George, Rosengren. Somewhat hawkish-leaning Mester and Harker also gain the vote.
Federal Reserve projections show no interest-rate changes next year but the annual rotation among voters could still influence policy as incoming members include an outspoken dove while two hawks depart.
Minneapolis Fed chief Neel Kashkari, who called vocally for rate cuts during 2019,
(and has never done ANYTHING remotely tied to the level of power he has now-also thought he was going to be Cal's governor too)
is the clear dove among the four new voters. He joins alongside Robert Kaplan from Dallas, Philadelphia's Patrick Harker and Loretta Mester from Cleveland. Each of them, along with every other Fed official, forecast no change in rates in 2020 in the dot plot published on Dec. 11 – a striking demonstration of unity as the country heads into a U.S. presidential election year.
They replace Kansas City Fed President Esther George and Boston's Eric Rosengren, hawks who both dissented against all three rate cuts this year. The others departing are dove James Bullard from St. Louis, who wanted a half-point rather than quarter-point cut in September, and Chicago's Charles Evans, who also supported easier monetary policy to ensure the Fed lifts inflation to its 2% target on a sustainable basis.
The yearly voter rotation among regional Fed presidents can foreshadow looming splits over policy that generate dissents, depending on who gets the vote and how strongly they disagree with their colleagues. But it generally won't dictate the path of policy. That's because Fed Chairman Jerome Powell can probably count on the support of the Board of Governors, plus New York Fed President John Williams, who also wields a permanent FOMC vote. That means Powell has six votes against the four in the hands of the remaining regional Fed chiefs, in the rare event that all four voted the same way against him.
Here's what the four new voters have recently said about their outlooks.
Mester (somewhat hawkish)
The Cleveland Fed president is probably the most hawkish of the four, though her recent comments that policy is now in a "good spot" following three cuts don't show any current pressure for a change. That said, the PhD economist and long-time Fed insider said she hadn't favored cutting rates three times. As a result, she may start pushing for tighter policy if inflation picks up with unemployment at a 50-year low.
Kashkari (dove)
Minneapolis Fed chief Neel Kashkari was an outspoken advocate for cutting rates last year when inflation failed to pick up as expected. He's argued the central bank should commit to not raising rates again until core inflation rises back to 2% on a sustained basis. The remarks suggest Kashkari won't be pushing to raise rates any time soon, and will make the case for allowing inflation to run above 2% without the Fed hitting the policy breaks – in order to demonstrate its commitment to achieving that target on a sustainable basis.
Kaplan (centrist)
The Dallas Fed chief sees a sluggish economy in 2020, so things would have to deteriorate for him to back easing policy further. He'd been open to easing earlier in 2019 after the yield curve inverted. But he told Bloomberg Television on Dec. 18 that with the curve sloping upward, Fed policy is probably in the right place. Nor did he sound worried about inflation, saying the pricing power of businesses has been eroded by technology and he expects inflation to be "muted for some period of time." He has never dissented since joining the Fed in 2015.
Harker (centrist with hawkish bent)
Philadelphia's Harker spoke out several times against the Fed's rate cuts this year, which he said were unwarranted because the economy appeared to be weathering uncertainty caused by trade tension between the U.S. and China. That could signal he'd favor raising rates sooner rather than later to stay ahead of inflation amid very low unemployment. He has never dissented at an FOMC meeting since joining the Fed in 2015.

Q Research General #9775: Night Shift On It 5:5!!! Edition
China to Scrap Benchmark Lending Rate in Shift to New System
China's central bank ordered lenders to adopt a new loan-pricing regime for all credit from next year, marking an end to the previous benchmark and another step toward liberalizing the financial system.
Financial institutions should stop using the old lending rate as the pricing reference for all credit from January, while gradually converting existing loans to a new base – the loan prime rate – from March to August, the People's bank of China said Saturday. The one-year lending rate had provided the previous anchor for loans across the economy. The move could lower costs for some of the 152 trillion yuan ($21.7 trillion) in yuan-denominated outstanding loans held by financial institutions and boost economic growth, even though it won't involve a straightforward cut to interest rates. The LPR – set at 4.15% for one-year tenor in December – is lower than the benchmark rate at 4.35%.
Against the backdrop of the long-term slowdown in the economy, policy makers are opening the financial system to outsiders more while making it more market driven in some respects. At the same time, officials are keen to control the pace of change as they try to weed out bad debt while keeping the system stable.
The transition is "in line with the need to further reduce the financing costs for the real economy, although there's still a long way to go," said Fan Ruoying, an analyst at the bank of China's Institute of International Finance in Beijing. The move will present more challenges for commercial banks because the interest margin will be squeezed and lenders will need to improve their pricing ability, she said.
Revamped Rate
The LPR, revamped to become the benchmark for new loans this year, is based on the interest rate for one-year loans that 18 banks offer their best customers. banks submit the quoted price each month in the form of a spread over the rate of the PBOC's medium-term loans. "By now close to 90% of new loans are priced with the LPR, but outstanding loans with floating rates are still based on the benchmark lending rate," the central bank said in a separate statement. That means the real lending cost "can't reflect changes in market interest rates," it said.
The move may help make monetary policy more effective, resolving a long-standing problem in which cheap funding that the PBOC offers banks doesn't result in cheaper loans to businesses. In the new scenario when all borrowing is based on the LPR, the supply of central bank funding or cuts to the rates of medium-term loans will in theory push down the LPR, and reduce the cost of all lending to businesses.
Old System
Most central banks govern the price of money in an economy via the rate that banks are charged to borrow cash over short time periods. In China, that approach had been divided into two steps. First, the PBOC guided prices for funding in the inter-bank market via its reverse repurchase agreements and medium-term lending facility. Then, it set the benchmark rates that were used to price mortgages, business loans and other commercial lending – the one-year and five-year lending rates.
While the interest rate of home mortgages should also be converted to the LPR, the new borrowing cost must be the same as the current charges to "reflect the request to regulate the property market," the central bank said in the statement. Home mortgages could be repriced in the future, based on the LPR, it said.
The PBOC's latest efforts show its commitment to making the interest-rate system more market-driven, though controls on deposits remain for now. The step-by-step approach appears to be trying to open up the system without shrinking interest margins too rapidly and adding more pressure to smaller lenders.

Finality?
You'll be lucky to see finality in 50 years. It could take a century.
Look at Russia (easier to do for those who followed Q's advice to Learn Russian)
Putin has been cleaning up corruption for 19 years now. He is only just beginning to disentangle from the central bank this year. And there are still plenty of Globalists entrenched in power who are being careful to keep the bulk of their lawbreaking outside of Russia. But that does not make them good guys.
The USA is going to have a similar long wind down. Criminals will keep trying to get the corruption restarted, and will need to be sniffed out and taken down. The culture needs to be changed and that requires minimum 2 generations, 2 * 20 years = 40 years.

According to this site, with its extensive leads for additional digging, the book Bloodlines of the Illuminati is too simplistic to explain the full depth and breadth of the Globalist Financial Criminal Conspiracy Network. You also need to look at groups and organizations and their interconnections.
While there may indeed be 13 major powerful bloodline families mostly in control, there are likely to be many other bloodlines that serve them in various sorts of minion roles, and it is these minions (remember what the yellow color means) that manage the flow of wealth into the Cabal. The vigorish always goes through several levels before it gets to the Godfather of the family.
So, there are Nordic Royal Families, Jewish banking Families, artificial families like the Roman Catholic Church, corrupt Masonic Lodges, Corporations, organized crime gangs like Mafia, nDrangheta, Hezbollah and Russia's Thieves-By-Law and even many NGOs.

There is a shadowy group of Plutocrats running multinational corporations, controlling the media narrative, manipulating the money supply, influencing governments, generating chaos, and provoking wars in order to further their agendas. These people are very real and extremely dangerous. They operate in the shadows, safely out of the light of public scrutiny. They manage by proxy, using cut-outs to do their bidding, never allowing themselves to get their hands dirty? Politicians are used and discarded, giving the illusion that they are the ones in control. The controllers' identities are hidden through a corporate shell game of holding companies and secret banking tax havens, in places like the Cayman Islands and Luxemburg. A thirst for publicity and a lust for the spotlight are liabilities if you want to excel in this endeavor. Better to rule from the shadows where your identity and intentions are unknown.
… The people running the show are mostly driven, professional, sociopaths with no discernible traces of compassion.
… Some of our best-known leaders and public figures are actually psychopaths, and what makes a psychopath most effective is their overall lack of empathy. They simply do not have the ability to imagine or feel someone else's pain, and this frees them up to cross boundaries that the rest of us would never dream of crossing. They can operate without limits, giving them an advantage over everyone else. They are professional liars and damn proud of it.
… You do not make it to the top of the food chain by being nice, honest and fair; you get there by force, deception, and influence. You get there through violence, if necessary. You get there through blackmail and extortion. It takes planning and funding, patience and practice, and a mastery of how to use fear to control other people. Those running the world are playing a much different game than the rest of us, and the way they see it, there are no rules. Or at least the rules do not apply to them.
… Their plan is to change society in every country in a way that provides them a reason to impose a world government. The creation of a world central bank and an electronic world currency, in conjunction with the elimination of cash, would allow them complete control to dictate financial policy around the globe. Their policies would be enforced by their world army, and a micro-chipped population would live in fear of having their electronic currency deleted if they ever crossed the world government.

Cryptocurrency Act of 2020 Hits U.S. Congress - Big Tech vs The bankers
106 years ago almost to the day, the Federal Reserve Act was created, written in secret by the elite bankers, passed under the cover of darkness on December 23rd, 1913 in Washington DC while nobody was looking. It brought to life a new paradigm of control over the world's monetary system which has shaped the last century.
Fast forward to today, the Federal Reserve, which is a private central bank, is pumping unsustainable amounts of money into the system to the tune of roughly $100 billion a day, prolonging its inevitable collapse.
So what is the real, current situation of the US & global financial system? If you listen to the government, doesn't matter which government, everything is fine. In fact, everything is better than fine, as the US stock markets continue to hit new all-time highs seemingly every week.
Find out how the US government and the bankers are scrambling to get ahead of big tech in the next industrial revolution which will transform the global monetary and financial system.

The Wealth Redistribution Scam that Is "Inflation"
https://www.zerohedge.com/economics/wealth-redistribution-scam-inflation
Authored by Thortsen Polleit via The Mises Institute,
The world over people are told that central banks pursue "price stability" by making sure that consumer goods prices do not rise by more than 2 percent per annum. This is, of course, a big sham. If the prices of goods rise over time, it does not take that much to understand that prices do not remain stable. And if the prices of goods increase over time, it necessarily means that the purchasing power of the money unit declines.
As money loses its purchasing power, income and wealth are stealthily redistributed. Some individuals and groups of people are enriched at the expense of others. Savers and workers are swindled out of their deserved income and retirement benefits, while those who own goods that rise in value or who borrow money typically reap a windfall profit. Clearly, the banking industry is a major beneficiary of monetary debasement.
"Inflation" Is a Rise in the Quantity of Money
central banks are the very source of the phenomenon that all prices of goods tend to rise over time. They hold the money production monopoly and increase - in close cooperation with commercial banks - the outstanding quantity of money through credit expansion, an increase in the supply of credit that is not backed by real savings. It goes without saying that it is rather profitable to be active in the money-production business.
The increase in the quantity of money results, and necessarily so, in higher prices compared to a situation in which the quantity of money has not been increased. This is no arbitrary assertion but stems from logical reasoning: a rise in people's money holding lowers the marginal utility of the additional money unit, meaning that the marginal utility of other goods that can be exchanged against money rises.
Consider the case in which the quantity of money in the hands of market agents rises. People will then exchange money balances (which have, from the viewpoint of the money holder, lost in marginal utility) against other vendible items (which have gone up in marginal utility). As people exchange money units against other goods, money prices go up (compared to a situation in which the quantity of money has not been increased).
The Mainstream Explanation and Its Problems
Of course, in real life additional factors (such as, for instance, demand changes, market introduction of new products, etc.) interfere with the link between the increase in the quantity of money and the rising prices of goods. This, however, by no means refutes the economic insight that a rise in the quantity of money in the economy leads to goods prices that will be higher than if the quantity of money not been increased.
The increase in the quantity of money is what deserves to be called inflation; rising prices are just a possible symptom of an increase in the quantity of money. However, mainstream economists typically define inflation as rising consumer goods prices. This, however, is problematic for at least two reasons. First, by equating inflation with rising prices, the real reason for higher prices, namely the rise in the quantity of money, is obscured.
This, in turn, gives rise to arbitrary explanations of why goods prices may go up: sheikhs who force up oil prices, unions that cause wages to rise, an overall buoyant economy that creates shortages in production factors, and so forth. All these pseudo-explanations deflect from the real culprit - the central bank, in cooperation with commercial banks, which issues new money, so that people no longer understand who, in fact, harms them.
Asset Price Inflation
Second, changes in consumer goods prices do not tell us the entire story, for they do not take into account asset prices such as, for instance, stock prices, housing prices, and land prices. However, the newly injected money can be expected to not only push up consumer goods prices, but also drive up asset prices. And like rising consumer prices, rising asset prices diminish the purchasing power of money.
In other words: asset price inflation destroys the purchasing power of money in the same way that price inflation of consumer goods does. Take, for instance, stock market prices. If prices rise from, say, $100 to $200, the purchasing power of the money unit would drop by 50 percent. The owner of the stock becomes richer, while the holder of dollars become poorer. In fact, this is precisely what has been happening in the last decades.

Russian government plans to use rainy day fund to buy Sberbank from central bank: two sources
MOSCOW (Reuters) - The Russian government plans to use the country's National Wealth Fund (NWF) to buy the central bank's stake in Sberbank (SBER.MM), a state banker and a source familiar with the plan told Reuters on Wednesday.
On Tuesday, Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said that Russia was discussing whether the central bank should continue to hold a controlling stake in the country's largest lender Sberbank, confirming an earlier Reuters report. The second source said that under the plan the central bank would transfer any profits it earned from the sale of Sberbank to the state budget. A third source, a well-placed financial market insider, said the same. The first two sources did not say how much the government, via the Finance Ministry, was ready to pay for the central bank's stake in Sberbank.
The central bank currently owns 50% plus one share in Sberbank, which is worth 2.8 trillion roubles ($45.45 billion)based on Sberbank's current market capitalization. The Finance Ministry, which is managing the NWF, declined to comment. The central bank also declined to comment. Oleg Osipov, spokesman for Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, told Reuters that the government was continuing to discuss the issue but that no final decision had been made.

China Widens Economic Policy Blitz With Cash Injection Pledge
The Chinese government is trying to set the economy up for a stronger start to 2020, with a multi-pronged policy push ranging from easier monetary settings to freer trade.
The latest pledge came late Monday, when Premier Li Keqiang signaled that further cuts in the amount of cash that banks have to park as reserves will be forthcoming.
In theory, that will free up funds to lend to private-sector companies that have struggled to access loans this year.
not….gonna….work.
The funding promise follows a wide-ranging set of initiatives to boost the non-state sector announced Sunday, and a fresh round of tariff cuts designed to spur domestic demand released on Monday.
After a bruising year that's seen economic output growth slow to the weakest pace in almost 30 years, modest signs of stabilization have begun to appear in incoming data. On top of that, trade negotiators this month succeeded in staving off another increase in tariffs on Chinese exports by U.S. President Donald Trump. Speaking in the western city of Chengdu on Monday, Li said the government will continue to cut the reserve ratio for banks and look into increasing re-lending and re-discounting quotas, steps that can also help reduce overall borrowing costs for small firms.
The private sector this year has faced difficulty accessing credit, amid a multi-year effort to reduce financial risk and rising defaults among corporate bond issuers. Despite an increase in overall credit growth, there's evidence that not all lending is going to productive purposes.
Upgraded Outlook
Nevertheless, economists have upgraded their outlook for economic growth in 2020. Gross domestic product expansion will come in at 5.9% as easing trade tensions and the prospect of lower bank borrowing costs boost confidence, according to a survey of analysts and traders last week. Survey respondents see policy makers maintaining a measured pace of easing into next year, trimming the price of central bank medium-term lending by 15 basis points with the first cut coming in the first quarter.
The Ministry of Finance on Monday published a list of 859 types of products that will enjoy tariffs lower than the standard rates for this year. It included frozen pork as a key item aimed at alleviating shortages of the meat due to the outbreak of African swine fever.
In 2018, imports of the listed items totaled some $389 billion, or about 18% of China's total imports of $2.14 trillion, according to Bloomberg calculations.
Steps announced Sunday by the State Council, China's cabinet, aim to help private firms gain better market access and equal regulatory treatment to their state-owned peers. Among actions to be taken are the further opening of key industries to non-state investors, including energy and finance, and also facilitating equity and bond sales by private-sector businesses.
The private sector, which accounts for 9 out of every 10 new jobs created in China, has been hardest hit thanks to what critics say is a regulatory regime that tilts business conditions in favor of state-owned companies.

Deutsche bank whistleblower hits back at regulator
A whistleblower who highlighted suspicious activity at a Dubai firm has hit back after the publication of a damaging finding against her. In October Anna Waterhouse said Dubai regulators had failed to investigate "suspicious circumstances" at Kaloti, the emirate's biggest gold refiner. Subsequently the regulator found she "acted without integrity" in another matter. That finding was designed to discredit her, Ms Waterhouse has told the BBC. The DFSA said it had followed "full and fair process". Both Kaloti and the DFSA have denied any wrongdoing.
Ms Waterhouse, a former general counsel at Deutsche bank, revealed to the BBC's Panorama on 28 October that the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) had failed to investigate a "catalogue of suspicious circumstances" at Kaloti.
Kaloti was used by a drug gang to launder money, Panorama found. But less than eight weeks after the film was broadcast, the DFSA published a finding in a separate matter claiming Ms Waterhouse had "acted without integrity". Ms Waterhouse sought to appeal against that finding and prevent it from from being published. But permission to appeal was refused. "With this decision the Dubai Financial Services Authority has sent a very loud, very clear message to the market about what happens to whistleblowers in their jurisdiction. They get punished," she said. "I reported serious money laundering suspicions about Kaloti and financial transactions facilitated by my former employer. "Instead of investigating the suspected wrongdoing, the DFSA turned on me and have campaigned for years to discredit and undermine me." As head of compliance and general counsel at Deutsche bank in the Middle East, Ms Waterhouse was legally and ethically obliged to report suspicions of money laundering to the authorities.
Colleagues told her in 2012 that Kaloti was withdrawing sums of cash that were so large the money had to be transported in wheelbarrows.
Years later, a joint investigation by BBC Panorama and the French media agency Premieres Lignes discovered that Kaloti had also used cash to pay for 3.6 tonnes of gold from a gang that laundered money from the sale of illegal drugs all over Europe.
Ms Waterhouse filed suspicious activity reports with the Dubai Financial Services Authority and the central bank of the United Arab Emirates. That prompted the DFSA to launch investigations, but its focus quickly turned not on Kaloti, but onto her and her employer. The DFSA investigation eventually found bankers in Deutsche bank's Dubai office had broken regulations in a separate case involving its private wealth division. No clients lost money but the breach of the rules meant the bank faced serious sanctions. However, Ms Waterhouse was the only manager at Deutsche bank sanctioned - a finding which she has been fighting through the courts for six years.
On 10 December she was unable for medical reasons to attend a hearing of the DFSA's Financial Markets Tribunal, sitting in London, where she was seeking permission to appeal the DFSA's decision. She applied for a postponement to the Dubai courts, headed by retired British judge Sir Jeremy Cooke, attaching a medical certificate. This was refused. The DFSA said the Court determined that the medical certificate supplied by Ms Waterhouse was "wholly inadequate to support the question of adjournment."
'Fair process'
The DFSA told the BBC the release of the decision was "not in any way linked to the story on BBC Panorama". It said the decision represented "the final outcome of a full and fair process" in which Ms Waterhouse had availed herself of avenues of review and appeal. Following the publication of the DFSA's decision, the Dubai court has also awarded legal costs against her, likely to run into tens of thousands of pounds. However Ms Waterhouse said the hearing her case was staffed and paid for by the DFSA. "The process is inherently unfair," she said.

Steven Mnuchin Explains Why $1.5 Trillion In $100 Bills Have Disappeared
……………continued…………………
In 2018, the Federal Reserve bank of Chicago illustrated a correlation between low interest rates and high currency demand, though it also noted outside factors could help explain swelling demand.
The bank estimated that 80% of all $100 bills last year were actually in circulation in foreign countries, and explained that residents in other countries, particularly those with unstable financial systems, often use the notes as a safe haven.
It's not just US dollar that are disappearing, however.
Few are as perplexed by the fate of the missing cash as the German central bank: according to the Bundesbank more than 150 billion euros are being hoarded in Germany. This has led the European central bank, and others, to ask the public for help.
"Everyone says that they are not hoarding cash but the money is clearly somewhere," said Henk Esselink, head of the issue and circulation section in the ECB's currency management division.
"People hide their money everywhere," said Sven Bertelmann, head of the Bundesbank's National Analysis Centre in Mainz, Germany. Sometimes bank notes are buried in the garden, where they start decomposing, or hidden in attics, where they are used by mice for building nests. "It happens again and again that people keep money in an envelope and then they shred it by mistake," Bertelmann said. "We pick up the bank notes with tweezers and then start to put them together, like a jigsaw puzzle."
Australia's central bank says its best guess is that only around a quarter of the bank notes in circulation are used for everyday transactions. Up to 8% of cash is used in the shadow economy-tax avoidance or illegal payments-while as much as 10% could have been lost. That is $7.6 billion Australian dollars ($5.2 billion) missing at the beach or in couch cushions… Or simply lost in a "boating accident" to avoid the taxman until the rainy days arrive.
The biggest use of cash is as a store of wealth "in safes, under beds and at the back of cupboards, both here in Australia and elsewhere around the world," Mr. Lowe, the RBA governor, said.
Swiss National bank officials likewise found that hoarding of Swiss francs jumped around the year 2000, likely motivated by fear of the Y2K bug infecting computer systems, the bursting of the dot-com bubble, the September 11 terrorist attacks and introduction of the euro. The financial crisis that began in 2007 encouraged people to stash even more.
Meanwhile, with a financial crisis looming - and getting closer by the day - for some countries, such as New Zealand, making money disappear is becoming a national pastime. Around a third of New Zealand's new bank notes headed overseas in 2017, up from 6% four years earlier. That happened around the time that tourism overtook dairy as the country's main export money-spinner, leading officials to speculate on the role played by currency exchanges, especially in Asia.
The trail mostly ran cold after that. The bank could only identify the whereabouts of around 25% of New Zealand's cash. The rest, of about 75%, has disappeared.
"Our sense is that we're in the same boat as a lot of other central banks out there," said Christian Hawkesby, assistant governor at the RBNZ. "We can't fully explain why holdings of cash are rising and where they are going."

Q Research General #9703: Santa is Sys_conf_spec_y Edition
China Faces "Systemic Risk" From Debt Cross-Default "Chain Reaction", Top central bank Advisor Warns
Just days after China's "moment of reckoning" in the dollar bond market arrived, when China was rocked by not only the biggest dollar bond default in two decades but also the first default by a massive state-owned commodities trader and Global 500 company, when Tianjin's Tewoo Group announced the results of its "unprecedented" debt restructuring which saw a majority of its bondholders accepting heavy losses, and which according to rating agencies qualified as an event of default, last week a top adviser to China's central bank warned of a possible "chain reaction" of defaults among the country's thousands of local government financing vehicles after one of these entities nearly missed a payment this month.
Besides the record number of default in the local bond market and the recent groundbreaking default of the dollar bonds issued by the state-owned Tewoo, concern has grown in recent months over the vast accumulation of debt in LGFVs, especially after the near default of one such financing platform, Hohhot Economic and Technological Development Zone Investment Development Group, in the Chinese autonomous region of Inner Mongolia earlier this month.
To avoid a cascading collapse in confidence among China's creditors, Ma proposed one potential measure to allow for distressed LGFVs to be taken over by healthier one, very much similar to how a record number of China's small and medium banks were "resolved" in 2019, despite at least two bank runs being triggered last month as previously reported.
The comments by Ma, a former Deutsche bank economist, come as concerns grow in China's central government about rising systemic risk. At a high-level planning session in Beijing earlier this month, at which many of the next year's economic challenges are discussed among senior officials, the avoidance of systemic risk was listed as a priority.
"At the meeting, China's top policymakers stressed stable macro policy with flexible fine-tuning, and pledged to prevent systematic financial risks," Mizuho Securities economist Serena Zhou said in a report to investors this month, noting that "such a pledge came the same day as Hohhot Economic and Technological Development Zone Investment Development Group, a LGFV 100 per cent owned by the Hohhot local government, reportedly missed its bond payment."
And while the Hohhot group's repayment deadline was eventually extended after the group failed to repay a 1 billion yuan ($142 million) privately placed bond earlier this month, the situation grabbed the attention of both creditors in other similar LGFV situations as well as analysts.
As the FT notes, China's LGFVs have been key drivers of economic growth in China since the mid-1990s, backing many of the local infrastructure projects that have boosted growth rates in recent years. But they are also closely connected to China's shadow banking sector, making it difficult for central authorities to fully assess the risk connected to the groups.
Meanwhile, adding to Beijing's list of "default domino" default woes, in addition to rising fears about the stability of LGFVs, Bloomberg points out that the rising default tide is now impacting even one of China's wealthiest provinces, namely Shandong, where six privately owned companies have defaulted on their debt or come close to doing so in the last three months. With 68.1 billion yuan ($9.7 billion) in outstanding debt among those six companies alone, "the distress in Shandong has rattled even seasoned investors."
So to loosely paraphrase Ernest Hemingway, "How did you go bankrupt? Two ways: Gradually and then suddenly… and when you do, you take down all your friends down with you''.
That's precisely what China has in store for bondholders of its massive $40 trillion financial sector in the coming years.

Angry French Pensioners Cut Power To central bank, Hint At More To Come
"France's trade unions on Wednesday defended a series of illegal power cuts to 150,000 homes, thousands of companies and the bank of France in an effort to force the Macron government to quash its wide-ranging pension reform, according to Reuters.
The power cuts, illegal under French law, deepened a sense of chaos in the second week of nationwide strikes that have crippled transport, shut schools and brought more than half a million people onto the street against President Emmanuel Macron's reform."
Imagine this here. Macaroni lighting candles.

Day 8: Technocracy And central banks
t is common knowledge that the central banks of the world, like the Federal Reserve, control monetary policy for everyone, everywhere. central banks are an exclusive lot because in each case, each bank has only one customer - namely, the host nation's government. The Federal Reserve serves only the United States Treasury, for instance. The bank of England serves only the British government, and so on.
The influence wielded by central banks is felt in all areas of economic activity within the home nation as well as in surrounding countries. In the case of the Federal Reserve, which manages the most important reserve currency in the world, its activities are closely watched by economists and forecasters everywhere.
What most people don't know, however, is that the central bank collective has a central bank of its own: the bank for International Settlements (BIS). The BIS is located in Basle, Switzerland, and the vast majority of its operations and policies are shrouded in total secrecy. The BIS invents and directs policies for all other central banks and conversely, no central bank acts outside the policy structure set by the BIS.
In a 2018 Bloomberg Markets Special Report titled Welcome to the Elite Private Club Of the World's central bankers, a key fact about the BIS was revealed:

Q Research General #9683: Late Night Shit Post Run! Edition
A Desperate ECB Wants To Eliminate The Eurozone's "Only Saving Grace"
Economists, conservative investors, and market observers have been issuing stern warnings for years regarding the severe impact of the current monetary policy direction.
In a recent statement, European central bank (ECB) Vice President Luis de Guindos warned of potential side effects and risks to the economy resulting directly from the central bank's policies. He outlined how a decade of extremely aggressive monetary interventions have resulted in an erosion of financial stability and now pose a threat to the eurozone's economic outlook. While he defended the bank's negative interest rate strategy as "supportive" of the overall economy, he did admit that, because of it, "we also note an increase in risk-taking which could, in the medium term, create financial-stability challenges".
This is a point that was also highlighted in the ECB's latest financial stability review, which found that the ultra-low interest rates have triggered excessive risk-taking, mainly by investment funds, insurers, and in certain real estate markets, thereby creating considerable stability concerns going forward. The report identified four main threats to financial stability for the block: asset mispricing, which sets the stage for a correction, corporate overindebtedness, which raises debt sustainability concerns, dangerously weak banking sector profitability, leading to increased risk-taking, and excessive risks taken in the non-bank financial sector, which could be facing "profitability and solvency challenges."
Although none of this is news to the responsible investor and to the reader who understands monetary history and the inevitable consequences of trying to forcibly twist basic economic laws, it still remains surprising that the ECB would publicly acknowledge it. The timing is even more striking, as the report, outlining the risks associated with the current monetary policy direction, came out very soon after the bank announced its decision to double down on it, cutting rates even lower and launching a new round of quantitative easing (QE).
Lagarde's "Solution"
As the ECB appears to be finally acknowledging the limitations and terrible side effects of its own monetary "cures," and as the eurozone economy continues to struggle, the central planners' focus seems to be shifting to other measures and tools in hopes of a growth revival. Their "solution" is for governments to deploy fiscal measures and to try to stimulate the sluggish euro area economy through spending.

The Federal Reserve is investigating the second significant disruption in 2019 of a payments service administered by the U.S. central bank.
Certain bank transactions were delayed Thursday after ACH – which stands for the automated clearinghouse system – experienced delays but is now up and running.
"ACH is operational," said Jean Tate, a spokeswoman at the Atlanta Fed. "There was an internal processing issue that delayed delivery of some files this morning. Technical teams are investigating the root cause of the issue."
The Atlanta Fed hosts the central bank's Retail Payments Office, processing ACH transactions.
ACH, or the automated clearing house, is a national system that processes batches of electronic funds transfers such as payroll, social security benefits, tax refunds, corporate payments to vendors and utility payments, according to the Fed's website. The commercial service handled 58.5 million transactions a day on average in 2018 with an average value of $1,760.
Earlier on Thursday several banks tweeted that they were experiencing issues.

ASTANA KAZAKHSTAN - NWO CAPITAL CITY PARADIGM [ASTANA = A SATAN]
A new capital of the New World Order.
These NWO directives to destroy the nationalist Trump are originating from the Trans-nationalist
army of the central bank - and New World Order leaders such as Soros, Clinton Foundation,
globalist world leaders who hate trump (EU Merkel, Theresa May, Brussels, London and now the
first & only new 21st Century capital of ASTANA.
A Multi-Billion Dollar Government City Built in the Desert from natural gas sales, and
Sales from it's Military Industrial Complex Named ASTANA in 1998; It has arisen as one
of the world's top ten intelligent communities in just 15 years!
Strangely, it has a Twin Towers memorial and murals of American Founding fathers in it's
gambling casinos though soon to become an ISLAMIC State which is now viciously persecuting
its freedom loving and Christian population.
Globalist Church leaders, the Pope, Cardinals, Saudi Oil Sheiks, government leaders,
top global business executives, banking cartel heads etc. all convene in Astana Ostensibly;
to promote world peace, Islam and plan the eventual replacement of Western capitals like
Washington DC as centers of culture, commerce and government.
What's really creepy here is that like Washington; It is a PLANNED REPLICA in so many aspects
of Washington DC and plans (along with Brussels, Rome Etc) to create a physical paradigm for
what a NEW WORLD ORDER city of light should look like!

Is the Fed's $3 Trillion in Loans to Trading Houses on Wall Street Legal?
By Pam Martens and Russ Martens: December 3, 2019 ~
Randal Quarles, Vice Chair for Supervision at the Federal Reserve
The House Financial Services Committee has released its memorandum outlining the topics that will be raised in its hearing tomorrow with Federal bank regulators, which will include Randal Quarles, Vice Chairman of Supervision at the Federal Reserve. Noticeably absent from the list of topics is what legislative authority the Federal Reserve has that gives it the legal power to be pumping out hundreds of billions of dollars each week in revolving loans to the trading houses of Wall Street.
Since September 17, the Federal Reserve has allowed its New York Fed branch to funnel approximately $3 trillion to unnamed trading houses on Wall Street, much of it at interest rates of less than 2 percent while the behemoth banks that own those trading houses charge their mom and pop credit card customers 17 percent on their credit cards. This looks like more of what Senator Bernie Sanders calls "socialism for the rich, and rugged, you're-on-your-own individualism for everyone else."
Since the Fed turned on its money spigot to Wall Street on September 17, not one hearing has been called in Congress to examine what gives the Federal Reserve, the central bank of the United States, the legal authority to provide cheap loans to the trading houses on Wall Street. These are the same Wall Street trading houses that blew themselves up with derivatives in 2008 and took down the U.S. economy in the greatest financial collapse since the Great Depression. Why should the Federal Reserve encourage more of that activity by providing cheap money?

Q Research General #9647: Page Does Madcow Edition
It's A Systemic Looting On A Massive Scale
Authored by Michael Krieger via Liberety Blitzkrieg blog,
The United States has historically bragged about its free and transparent markets. But what the Fed is doing today is pulling a dark curtain around the financing of this so-called free and transparent market. The public has no idea which Wall Street firms have received this $3 trillion or why they can't borrow it elsewhere. This kind of obfuscation by the Federal Reserve could actually stimulate distrust in the U.S. banking system. The Fed admitted as much in its most recent Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) minutes, writing that participation in the Fed's loan program "could become stigmatized."
- Wall Street on Parade: Is the Fed's $3 Trillion in Loans to Trading Houses on Wall Street Legal?
The business model of Wall Street is fraud.
- Bernie Sanders
Financial services as currently structured is the most pernicious, predatory and corrupt industry on earth. Moreover, it's the deliberately complex and opaque nature of the industry which then limits public debate when some problem arises and governments and central banks are called upon to take emergency measures to "save the system," which is just a euphemism for enormous sums of corporate welfare being funneled to people and institutions who couldn't survive otherwise.
It is systemic looting on a massive scale and the primary patrons of this ongoing and seemingly endless scheme are central banks. In the U.S. this means the Federal Reserve, which recently came back into the "market" with enormous new interventions in both the repo market and via renewed balance sheet expansion. I've read many of the smart takes on the repo crisis and still don't feel confident I know precisely what's going on. This is intentional.
Unelected central bankers throwing around billions upon billions gets almost no scrutiny, while impeachment theater dominates mass media 24/7. Which of these deserves more scrutiny?
This is how the public gets scammed. Look over here, while we loot the system quietly here.
- Michael Krieger (@LibertyBlitz) December 16, 2019
One of the main reasons big finance is able to pull off scam after scam in plain sight relates to the complexity, opacity and esoteric jargon associated with the industry. Repo is a perfect example. The market had a spasm in September and the Fed immediately rushed in with billions to bring the rate down without offering any transparency or a credible explanation of what was going on. Meanwhile, as the crisis continued over subsequent months and the central bank response grew larger and larger, we actually seem to be learning less with each passing day.
Instead of providing the public with the transparency it deserves, Fed officials run around pretending to be financial surgeons called in to perform an unexpected emergency operation on a patient after a freak accident. In reality, central banks are merely pumping billions into an already dead body while enriching connected and powerful individuals and institutions in the process. They know exactly what they're doing and we need to stop pretending otherwise.
When you hear QE, the only thing that should pop into your mind is upward wealth transfer. In addition to keeping a pernicious system afloat, that's all it does.
- Michael Krieger (@LibertyBlitz) December 17, 2019
While I'm grateful to those who've spent time trying to thoughtfully explain the mechanics of the repo crisis and why it happened, I think that's a sideshow at this point since nobody who really knows what's going on is talking. Instead, we should focus on the absurd and unconscionable lack of transparency with regard to Federal Reserve actions. As far as I know, we have no idea which parties are taking up this expanded central bank funding. Think about how criminally insane that is. We have no idea if it's driven by a troubled institution like Deutsche bank, hedge funds with over-leveraged trades, treasury issuance, a combination of these factors, or something else.
We don't know because they don't want us to know, and they don't want us to know because they don't want the public thinking or talking about it. It's at times like these when the totalitarian nature of central banking comes into crystal clear focus. What we have is government via unelected, unaccountable bankers. It's the opposite of self-government, and understanding this simple fact blows apart all the myths about our so-called democracy and freedom. Nothing of the sort exists in reality, and when push comes to shove, you're just a peasant living in an imperial oligarchy.

Latvian parliament approves Kazaks as next central bank governor
Latvia's parliament confirmed M?rti?? Kaz?ks as the next governor of the country's central bank today (December 12), local media reported, as his predecessor prepares to face trial on corruption charges.
Kaz?ks has been a member of the bank of Latvia's five-member council since August 2018. Before then, he worked in both the private sector and in academia. He was the deputy chief economist for the Swedish-based lender Swedbank from 2010 until taking up the central bank role,

central bankers in favour of climate change goals in mandates
A majority of officials at central banks and other public-sector institutions said they supported adding climate change risks to central bank mandates, at central banking's first Climate Risk Summit on December 12.
In the gathering held in Frankfurt, most participants embraced the adoption of green guidelines in policy areas ranging from reserves management, financial stability and monetary policy implementation.

Could be, and that seems to be the -or close to the- explanation given, but that's not something unforseen, sort of like the subprime bubble - they have extensive experience creating, inflating and popping bubbles throughout history. bankers (top level) pay attention to the Institute for Cyclical Research because everything operates on cycles, whether we know it or know why or not. Finance is no exception so they try to steer things in the direction they want (they clean up and get richer when the bust happens).
But also, if the FED calls in it's loans, other banks would have to compensate and that would throw them all off, don't you think? I don't see any way for any private central bank to insulate itself, they are all together and contagion will spread quickly.

central banks should collaborate on multicurrency CBDC - research
Lithuania's central bank notes national CBDC projects will not solve global payment inefficiencies
A co-ordinated approach from central banks is needed to understand the potential of a multicurrency central bank digital currency (CBDC), research from the central bank of Lithuania claims.
In an extensive report detailing the progress of CBDC development around the world, the Baltic central bank says the "little-researched idea" of a multi-currency CBDC "deserves more consideration".
"Multi-currency CBDC would help to avoid the danger of 'digital dollarisation' and a race among central banks,

Lagarde promises wide-ranging review of ECB monetary policy
ECB to form digital currency task force as Lagarde calls for EU action on green finance
Christine Lagarde made no surprise announcements in her first monetary policy announcement as president of the European central bank, keeping interest rates at their record low levels.
But she did signal that the ECB's forthcoming strategic review of its policy framework would be a wide-ranging exercise, in her press conference today (December 12). She said the ECB would convene a task force on creating a central bank-issued digital currency, or "digital euro", which should report in mid-2020.

Christine Lagarde convicted: IMF head found guilty of criminal charges over massive government payout
But former French finance minister, who faced potentially one year in jail, will not face any punishment
International Monetary Fund chief Christine Lagarde has been convicted over her role in a controversial ?400m (£355m) payment to a businessman.
French judges found Ms Lagarde guilty of negligence for failing to challenge the state arbitration payout to the friend of former French President Nicolas Sarkozy.
The 60-year-old, following a week-long trial in Paris, was not given any sentence and will not be punished.

Q Research General #9618: Operators Are Standing By Edition
Why is Gold, Cash Worth Hundreds of Billions of Dollars Vanishing Into Thin Air?
While banks are printing more money than ever before, bunches of them inexplicably disappear, much like gold caches that are heavily relied on at times of political crisis.
As Goldman Sachs has pointed out, there are several strange trends in today's global economy, with one showing central banks (CBs) increasingly injecting money into electronic coins to better feed markets and simplify money exchange processes.
Meanwhile, billions of dollars in physical currency and precious metals are literally disappearing, as Zero Hedge points out in a recent overview.
Goldman Sachs wrote earlier this week "gold's strategic case is still strong" in light of "geopolitical uncertainty", with governments eagerly zeroing in on cash and gold caches. As the investment titan noted, "CBs globally have been buying gold at a very strong pace" and "2019 looks to be a record year for CB gold purchases with our target of 750 tonnes combined purchases likely to be met".
However, there is one peculiar side to the gold-related trend: the bank says there has been an eye-watering 1,200 tons or "unexplained" gold flows worth around $57 billion over the past three years.
"Rising political risk - together with negative European rates - may be an important reason behind the large share of unaccounted gold investment over the past several years", says Goldman's Mikhail Sprogis, analysing that the "cumulative unexplained gold demand based on World Gold Council (post 2010) and GFMS (pre 2010) balances data".
He further remarks that since the end of 2016, the "implied build in non-transparent gold investment has been much larger than the build in visible gold ETFs."
The observation is, as the analyst notes, fully consistent with reports that vault demand shows an upward trend:
"Political risks, in our view, help explain this because if an individual is trying to minimise the risks of sanctions or wealth taxes, then buying physical gold bars and storing them in a vault, where it is more difficult for governments to reach them, makes sense", Sprogis writes.
Goldman thereby portrays the way there has been tens of billions in gold flows which have vanished into thin air, away from the official records, but are purported to be behind the scenes as the world is bracing itself for a new economic shock.
"central banks don't know where they have gone, or why, and are playing detective, trying to crack the same mystery", The Wall Street Journal writes about the same trend, but vis-à-vis hard material money.
"People hide their money everywhere", said Sven Bertelmann, head of the Bundesbank's National Analysis Centre in Mainz, Germany, adding:
"Sometimes bank notes are buried in the garden, where they start decomposing, or hidden in attics, where they are used by mice for building nests.
"It happens again and again that people keep money in an envelope and then they shred it by mistake", Mr Bertelmann said. "We pick up the bank notes with tweezers and then start to put them together, like a jigsaw puzzle," he explained.
The German central bank is one of those deeply worried about the trend: according to the Bundesbank, more than 150 billion euros are currently hoarded in Germany, with Australia's central bank reporting that an average of $7.6 billion Australian dollars ($5.2 billion) is missing "at the beach or in couch cushions… or simply lost in a "boating accident" to avoid the taxman until the rainy days arrive".
Along with printing more cash, a vast number of countries, including Russia, has of late been boosting its gold reserves, mostly by buying gold on the domestic market. Moscow became the biggest buyer of the precious metal in 2018 and is aiming to claim the status in 2019, too.
This trend started roughly at the same time as Russia kicked off its sale of US Treasury bonds, reducing their value in the nation's portfolio from $92 billion to $10.07 billion in US debt.

>Remember when we were seeing the Rothschilds liquidate their assets and couldn't figure out why
I do remember that. Many countries are demanding a repatriation of their gold back from the NY FED.
You may remember in the early 2000, Germany did the same. They sent someone over to the NY FED to audit their gold and it didn't happen. So Germany wanted it all back and the FED absolutely balked, and gave all sorts of excuses as to why they couldn't return it all in a timely manner, so they worked out a schedule. But - the FED only made the first delivery and then stopped.
Other issue are other countries that are buying gold, almost hoarding it.
Many goldbugs here will be mad but real currency doesn't have to be backed by a commodity, it just needs to be issued by the government (not a debt note), it's backed by the productive capacity of the people.
The issue of money isn't that it is not backed by a rare commodity (that + people control) but that it is issued by a PRIVATE central bank and not the government. That's why Germany had to be destroyed.

Q Research General #9580: Whose afraid of the big bad Bear?! Edition
bank of Israel digs in for long fight against strong shekel
The bank of Israel has been grappling with a steady rise in the value of the shekel, but policy-makers say they are willing to be patient.
The currency is up 8% against the dollar over the past 12 months, and its strength is one factor holding inflation below target - prices rose just 0.4% year on year in October. The central bank has been intervening to resist the currency's rise.
"We evaluate the effectiveness of our policy over longer horizons,"

Q Research General #9579: Chill Greta Chill! Edition
Christine Lagarde's First Press Conference As ECB President
Having got through the ECB statement release unscathed with no changes or surprises, all eyes are now on Christina Lagarde's first press conference appearance as ECB president.
The focus will fall on how Lagarde intends to run the central bank, and its upcoming strategic policy review, which will likely be formally announced at the December confab; but there is a risk that this meeting will be light on details, which may possibly result in horizontal price action. Many believe Lagarde's first task will be uniting a divided Governing Council, where there are mixed views on the efficacy and risks of loose(r) policy, as well as the practicalities of the ECB's decision-making functions.
Lagarde is also expected to reiterate her call on fiscal authorities to do more to support the Eurozone economy. Elsewhere, updated economic projections may see near-term growth forecasts nudged up slightly, though further forecasts are subject to downside risks; inflation forecasts are seen little changed.
Today's press conference may reveal more information about this, and could come with a formal announcement on the review. And among many other policy/mission tweaks for the convicted criminal-cum-central banking climate crusader, Rabobank sarcastically adds, "will it include a pledge to also do 'whatever it takes' to get to the Eurozone to net-zero carbon emissions?"

ECB keeps generous stimulus unchanged in Lagarde's first meeting
FRANKFURT (Reuters) - The European central bank kept its ultra-easy monetary policy unchanged at Christine Lagarde's first meeting in charge on Thursday, even keeping the door open to more stimulus while the bank gears up for a broad review of its operations. With growth still well below potential in the 19-member currency bloc and inflation short of target, the ECB unleashed a fresh stimulus package in September. That means policy is effectively on auto pilot for months to come, giving Lagarde time and space to find her footing.
"The Governing Council expects the key ECB interest rates to remain at their present or lower levels until it has seen the inflation outlook robustly converge to a level sufficiently close to, but below, 2% within its projection horizon, and such convergence has been consistently reflected in underlying inflation dynamics," the ECB said.
The ECB's press release did not deviate from the previous statement, suggesting Lagarde is comfortable with the stance devised by her predecessor, Mario Draghi, over the objections of many policymakers.
Attention now turns to Lagarde's first news conference at 1330 GMT, where she will unveil the ECB's new economic projections and may discuss the bank's strategic review, due to start early next year.
With Thursday's decision, the ECB's rate on bank overnight deposits, which is currently its primary interest rate tool, remains at a record low of -0.50%.
The main refinancing rate, which determines the cost of credit in the economy, remained unchanged at 0.00% while the rate on the marginal lending facility - the emergency overnight borrowing rate for banks - remains at 0.25%.

Q Research General #9575: Alan. Welcome Aboard. Plane. Comfy17 Edition
Xi moves right-hand man to Japan affairs as ties with West sour
China turns to a familiar crisis management formula: flatter thy neighbor.
TOKYO – In his last speech to the nation before stepping down as the head of the Chinese Communist Party, Hu Jintao, the predecessor to current leader Xi Jinping, declared that China's gross domestic product and per capita GDP would double by 2020, compared to 2010 levels.
That was seven years ago. Today, Xi's China faces the possibility of not being able to deliver on those goals, a potential outcome that has tongues wagging in the economic corridors of Chinese officialdom.
"There was a real possibility that Xi would fail to reach the goal passed on to him by Hu," one person said. "But they appear to have found a way, somewhat forcibly, to achieve it."
Once ridiculed as an incompetent leader who accomplished little, Hu suddenly finds himself being praised for having had a steady economic hand and for overseeing perhaps the end of a golden period for China's economy.
Immediately after the party's 2012 national congress, where Hu made his prediction, a Chinese central bank official expressed confidence that doubling GDP "can be achieved one or two years ahead of schedule."
But the situation has changed dramatically, with the Chinese economy growing 6% in real terms in the July-September quarter of 2019, its slowest pace of growth since 1992, when quarterly figures became available.
The handling of macroeconomic policy and China's trade war with the U.S. continue to add downward pressure on the economy.
Now, somewhat in desperation, the Chinese government is expected to inflate past GDP figures based on a new survey of small companies.
Originally, China was said to need at least 6.2% growth in 2019 and 2020 to achieve the GDP target. But with upward revisions of past GDP figures, the target can be achieved even if growth slips slightly below 6% in 2020.
Call it a magic wand.
China's GDP figures are a politically sensitive issue in a country that tightly regulates what people can say about the economy.
An influential economist who is said to be an adviser to Premier Li Keqiang recently predicted that growth over the next decade "will not exceed 5% on average."
In a video widely circulated within China, the economist said, "Given the severity of the Chinese economy, it is important to secure growth of 4% first."
The video was later scrubbed from the internet, as Chinese authorities decided it was too sensational for this moment.
But there is little doubt that Chinese economic statistics are inflated. The Xi administration itself has continued to warn local bureaucrats not to pump up local growth figures and make false reports to the central government.
Xiang Songzuo, an outspoken professor at Renmin University of China, pointed out that the rate of growth in the July-September quarter might be lower than the official figure of 6%.
In a recent interview with the Nikkei, Xiang said China's growth figures simply do not add up, given factors such as government tax revenues and corporate earnings. He is quite right, and alarm bells are ringing among party leaders.
On Friday, the party's powerful 25-member Politburo held a meeting and reaffirmed the "six stabilities" in relation to next year's economic policies. Topping the list is employment stability, suggesting there are job concerns despite 6% growth, a pace many countries would envy.
Second on the list is financial stability, hinting that China is concerned about the risk of a systemic financial crisis. Meanwhile, there are no references to reducing debt or curbing property speculation. This suggests that greater importance will be attached to boosting the economy than to implementing structural reforms.
There was another interesting passage. The Politburo talked of "transforming external pressure into motivation for deepening reform and further opening-up, and focusing on running China's own affairs well," according to the official Xinhua News Agency. The unfamiliar pronouncement suggests a departure from the hard-line rejection of U.S. demands for structural reforms that the Xi administration has maintained since May.
All in all, Xi is on rough terrain. China's relations with the U.S. are tense. The Chinese economy is in dire straits. And Beijing is coming under international criticism for its hard-line approach to the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region and Hong Kong.

The Wealthy Are Hoarding Physical Gold
The world's rich are hoarding gold - this according to data buried in a recent Goldman Sachs note to clients.
In the note published over the weekend, Goldman recommended diversifying long-term bond holdings with gold, citing "fear-driven demand" for the yellow metal.
Hedge funds and other large speculators boosted their bullish bets on gold by 8.9% through the week ended Dec. 3, according to government data released last Friday. That represents the biggest gain since the end of September.
The Goldman note cited political uncertainty and recession fears as the catalyst for the move toward gold. It also mentioned worries about a wealth tax, increasing interest in Modern Monetary Theory (essentially money-printing) and the current loose central bank monetary policy.
Data buried in the note also revealed that owning physical gold appears to be the preferred method to "hedge against tail events" by the rich.
"Since the end of 2016 the implied build in non-transparent gold investment has been much larger than the build in visible gold ETFs."

That's because he's running the ops.
I'm working on a network map graphic to make it more obvious, but the gist is as such:
Heinz and Biden are involved in Rosemont Seneca Partners.
We have hypothesized with some good supporting evidence that Seneca = Soros
And if that's true that firmly puts Heinz, Biden, Archer and Bulger into his umbrella.
Because of this post: >>7481039 I'm beginning to see how Romney plays in the big picture.
Mormonism from the beginning sounds like it was a Vanderbilt affair, as was the YMCA and I have to go back to my notes but I found some business interests in providing uniforms to the Boy Scouts of America under the Vanderbilt umbrella as well. The Mormons have a very close relationship with the BSA.
Imagine all that in the US under the control of a single family. They would be very powerful at manipulating people, and the church. The Great Awakening ring a bell? The actual Great Awakening from the 1800s.
So if some how Vanderbilt connects to the Mormon church out west through Joseph Smith and his early life in Vanderbilt territory, and if Soros replaced Vanderbilt in the power hierarchy after he broke the bank of England in the 1900s (a Rothschilds controlled central bank) then its logical that Soros took over all aspects of Vanderbilt control. That includes Mormonism (Romney).
Now to dig into Pelosi's connection to Soros. My guess is its through her catholic family and the catholics control over Maryland/Baltimore.

Aramco Stock Soars Limit Up In Debut After Saudis Force Locals To Buy
s Jamie Dimon about to get the old bonesaw for leaving $180BN on the table?
Saudi Arabia's oil company Aramco soared 10% limit up on its first day of trading, reaching a valuation of $1.88 trillion, higher than any other publicly traded company in the world. This means that after pricing its IPO at $1.7 trillion, Jamie Dimon left about $180 billion on the table, which will hardly impress the Crown Prince.The record valuation reflects an oversubscribed book of mostly local investors who bought shares on the Saudi Tadawul stock exchange after they were forced by Riyadh to pump the stock.
Aramco only sold a tiny 1.5% sliver in the company, meaning that the kingdom and Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia (PIF) could easily manipulate the price with such a small fraction of the stock public. Aramco listed on the Tadawul exchange because of other international exchanges and their investors found it hard to value the oil company near the $2 trillion levels.
"They have had to launch the IPO on their own stock exchange as the valuation was unlikely to be achieved elsewhere," said John Colley, associate dean at Warwick Business School in the U.K, who spoke with Reuters.
Colley said the IPO pump is likely buyers affiliated with the kingdom. Aramco sold .50% of its shares to individual retail investors, many of whom were Saudi nationals, financially incentivized by the kingdom. The remaining 1% were domestic institutional investors and other financial institutions from surrounding countries.
Reuters noted that Aramco would be offering a dividend of at least $75 billion in 2020 to entice investors to hold. Also, investors who hold for more than six months could be rewarded with up to 100 bonus shares.
Saudi Arabia's central bank doubled leverage for retail investors ahead of the IPO.
State investment funds, like Public Pension Agency and PIF's Sanabil Investments unit, are among domestic institutions who were buying shares in the open market, reported Financial Times, adding that wealthy Saudi families were ordered by the kingdom to purchase stock.
As the FT reported ahead of the IPO, Saudi Arabia was "persuading" local institutions and wealthy families to buy shares in Saudi Aramco after its initial public offering, as part of a plan to drive up the stock price: the focus was to reach company's $2t targeted valuation, and as of this morning, the company is more than halfway there from $1.7 trillion.
Families have been asked to pledge further funds, one unidentified adviser to families say
State investment funds were also "encouraged" to buy shares.
Public Pension Agency, the Public Investment Fund and the PIF's Sanabil Investments unit are among institutions likely to be called on to support the shares once they are trading, FT reports
Aramco declined to comment; PPA did not respond to FT's requests for comment, PIF denied it would intervene to support the price although clearly that's precisely what it was doing this morning.
The result of this massive pump spurred by the kingdom, which sent shares soaring by the 10% limit on opening day, was Mohamed bin Salman's attempt to catapult Aramco's valuation over the $2 trillion level.
"Aramco should easily get to the $2 trillion valuation as soon as tomorrow; there is plenty of appetite for it," Marie Salem, the head of institutions at Daman Securities in Dubai, told Bloomberg. The Aramco IPO proceeds ($25.6 billion) will be used by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MbS) to fund his Vision 2030 initiative and
As MbS and Aramco can claim fame to the world's largest IPO, there was very little participation from foreign institutions, hence why the kingdom incentivized domestic funds and citizens to buy the stock on the day of the IPO.Monica Malik, the chief economist at Abu Dhabi Commercial bank, told Reuters while Ice Brent Crude futures trade around $63-$64, the kingdom needs about $87 per barrel to balance its budget.Last month, former director of the central Intelligence Agency (CIA) David Petraeus told CNBC that he believed Saudi Arabia is "gradually running out of money," which could explain why Aramco was rushed to IPO. Sustainability of the Aramco IPO is questionable considering international participation is weak, and the kingdom not only forced domestic buyers to load up as much as they could but also were told to use leverage.
Macroeconomic headwinds of a slowing global economy, dropping Chinese demand and declining fuel consumption across the world could put down pressure on oil prices heading into the new year, but none of that matters because the kingdom has orchestrated one of the most significant one day stock pumps the country or maybe the world has ever seen.

Husband Of Democrat In Impeachment Hearings Took $700K From Firms Tied To Ukrainian Oligarch 'Accused Of Ordering Contract Killings': Reports
4 Dec
The husband of Democrat Rep. Debbie Mucarsel-Powell (D-FL), who sits on the House Judiciary Committee, reportedly took $700,000 from firms connected to a Ukrainian oligarch who has allegedly been "accused of ordering contract killings."
Democrats are set to move their impeachment hearings from the Intelligence Committee to the Judiciary Committee this week with hearings to officially begin tomorrow.
The Miami Herald reported last year:
Public records show that Debbie Mucarsel-Powell's husband, Robert Powell, spent much of the last 10 years as general counsel for companies owned at least in part by Igor Kolomoisky, a wealthy Ukrainian businessman involved in banking and mining. In federal financial disclosures, Mucarsel-Powell reported that her husband of 15 years earned most of their household income during the previous two years - at least $695,000 - from a ferroalloys trading corporation associated with Kolomoisky.
The connections between Robert Powell and Kolomoisky were first reported by Daily Beast reporter Betsy Swan last year - who also highlighted some of the allegations that have been made against the Ukrainian oligarch.
Swan reported in April 2018 that the FBI was "investigating" Kolomoisky over "potential financial crimes, including money laundering, according to the sources, who say the probe is wide-ranging and has been under way for quite some time. Kolomoisky has not been charged with any crime, and a lawyer representing him said he denies any wrongdoing."
"Kolomoisky has a host of enemies. He's been accused of commissioning contract killings," Swan continued. "And in 2016, Ukraine's central bank nationalized Kolomoisky's Privatbank because it didn't have enough cash. Billions of dollars disappeared from its coffers because it lent so much to Kolomoisky associates, according to the FT. The move was widely viewed in the West as a victory for transparency and good governance, in a country whose politics are impoverished on both counts."
Robert Powell's connections to Kolomoisky could create a significant distraction for Democrats during their impeachment hearings since they launched their inquiry into President Donald Trump over a July 25 phone call that he had with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Democrats claim that Trump pressured Zelensky into investigating former Vice President and current Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden in exchange for U.S. military assistance to Ukraine, which Democrats claim amounts to a quid pro quo or bribery.
So far, Democrats' claims that Trump engaged in a quid pro quo or bribery have largely not been substantiated in their public impeachment hearings as multiple witnesses, including Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch, Senior NSC official Tim Morrison, Ambassador Kurt Volker, and Ambassador Gordon Sondland all testified that there was no quid pro quo during the phone call.
In a separate report, The Daily Beast noted that the connections between Debbie Mucarsel-Powell's husband and the Ukrainian oligarch left many concerned. "Anders Aslund, a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council who focuses on Russia and Ukraine, said the link is concerning, citing accusations that Kolomoisky has been involved in billion-dollar criminal schemes and contract killings," The Daily Beast reported. "He called the ties 'highly suspicious."
"When you work for a guy like that, you know what you're dealing with," said Edward Chow, a senior fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. "There should be no illusion of what you're dealing with, even if the business you have to conduct for him in the United States is completely clean. You know where the wealth came from. There should be no reason not to know, because everyone knows."

central banks worldwide buying up massive amounts of gold in a shift away from US dollar - Goldman Sachs
Gold prices will climb to $1,600 per ounce over the next year, Wall Street bank Goldman Sachs projects. It says that central banks are consuming a fifth of the global supply of the yellow metal.
"De-dollarization in central banks - demand from central banks for gold is biggest since the Nixon era, eating up 20 percent of global supply," the head of global commodities research at Goldman, Jeff Currie, told Bloomberg. "I am going to like gold better than bonds because the bonds won't reflect that de-dollarization."
Citing "fear-driven demand" for the precious metal, Goldman analysts said last week that investors should diversify their long-term bond holdings with gold.
"Going long-term depends on what is going to happen to global growth. The further out you go, the higher the probability that the US is going to hit a recession. We have $1,600 holding out through 2021," Goldman Sachs analyst Mikhail Sprogis told Kitco News. Gold was trading at $1463.30 per ounce on Tuesday.
Sprogis said that central bank gold demand will be driven by demand from Russia, Turkey, China, and other countries, including Poland.
Statistics showed that hedge funds and other large speculators boosted their bullish bets on the precious metal by 8.9 percent in the week ended December 3. That is the biggest gain since late September.

Blame the dead guy FFS
Rabobank: "The Key Reason We Are In This Mess Is Due To Volcker"
Tall Tales
Markets were relatively quiet Monday, with key bond yields drifting lower to reverse Friday's payrolls-induced spike, and the USD likewise reversing some its gain. Even equities ended slightly lower.
Perhaps the most eye-catching news was the sad death of former Fed Chair Paul Volcker. Besides his post-2008 regulatory 'Volcker Rule' being infamous to those working in markets, "Tall Paul" is being eulogised as the man "who broke the back of US inflation in the 1980s". Even before his death others had stated that if there were a Nobel Prize for government serviced that his name would be on that list.
For those weaned on ultra-low rates and central-bank liquidity on demand, it must seem odd that once upon a time there was a Fed Chair prepared to raise rates to eye-watering levels regardless of the cost, who worked for tighter regulation after leaving office, and who publicly wanted to see big banks broken up. By contrast, yesterday saw the current Fed pump in another USD25bn in a 28-day repo operation yesterday - and USD43bn was bid for that USD25bn on offer (so many people so short of cash: is it all really a year-end squeeze?); and let's not forget the weekend had that USD150,000 banana taped to a wall (up USD30,000 in a day because of the controversy over the first USD120,000 banana being eaten). For all the chatter that Jay Powell 'was going to be the next Volcker', the truth is that lower for longer will be lower forever if markets continue to require permanent liquidity support, which they still do a decade after the actual crisis ended.
However to think that we need a Volcker now is a "Tall tale". Why? Because one also needs to underline that, ironically, the key reason we are in this mess is due to Volcker. He didn't just break the back of US inflation: he also deliberately broke the back of US labour power. Recall that at the time of soaring US inflation the economy was dealing with the aftermath of an oil shock, the collapse of the Bretton Woods system, the messy end of the expensive Vietnam War, and the start of the US political mania for tax cuts for the wealthy as a cure-all. Most countries would have seen high inflation against that backdrop - and lots of potential policy-combinations might have worked as a palliative. (Tax hikes for the rich, for example, or an early refusal to allow the USD to assume its current global role as absorber of excess global capital and production.)
Volcker decided that the working class needed to pay the price of victory against inflation. He explicitly aimed at breaking the power of organised labour, and just after being appointed as FOMC Chair declared "The standard of living of the average American has to decline". When looking at the trend of median rea- wage stagnation in the US–something now broadly acknowledged as the root cause of most of our socio-economic problems, and of our distorted markets–this started with the first oil shock, and became entrenched under Volcker. Subsequent Fed Chairs, and indeed most central banks, may no longer be tough on rates and may doll out liquidity like candy - but not to workers, only to banks (and soon, perhaps, to shadow banks). Whatever the Fed does or doesn't say at this week's meeting, don't expect that to change.

Muh Fed…..
You're a sheeple. The Fed is just a corrupt bank that skims a few tens of million here and there for their services….pocket change in the overall scheme of things. Replacing it won't change banking cycles and may be worse because if the new central bank is directly controlled by the government it will probably be an equally bad shitshow if not worse.

Argentine governor resigns before new president takes over
Argentina's central bank governor Guido Sandleris, announced his resignation as president-elect Alberto Fernández is due to take office on December 10.
Sandleris said Argentina needed a central bank that was independent in practice, and not just according to the law, in a farewell speech appealing for better economic management. The outgoing central bank of Argentina (BCRA) governor also acknowledged policy failures under the administration of president Mauricio Macri

Q Research General #9524: Comfy Saturday with Patriots! Edition
The federal reserve is a central bank owned by Roths. They create our currency unconstitutionally. Most of our national debt is owed to the federal reserve. Why? Because they charge us interest on every dollar they create. Immediate debt is placed on it as soon as it is, "created." That is why we can NEVER pay it, because we have to keep going to the guy who prints it for us to pay the extra. A never ending loop.
Tell the fed to shove their debt up their butt, dismantle the fed, go back to constitutional money and boom, back in business.

Ummmm….
It is against anon.
The founders were very specific on this point: They clearly understood that "money" had to be based on something of intrinsic value to avoid fraud in the monetary system.
They selected gold and silver coin and named it as such in our Constitution:
"No State shall make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts;"
We are currently living beyond our means as a society.
We are allowing desperate, destitute people to flood into our country.
We are exporting our jobs and manufacturing base to nations historically hostile to us and we have debased our currency and allowed criminal fraud to run rampant in our banking and financial systems.
At some point a certain inevitably will present itself clearly.
How long until this harbinger arrives and who will suffer the consequences?
Alan Greenspan explains it in this short six page summary
Gold and economic freedom
Editor's note - It may surprise more than a few gold devotees to learn they have an ideological friend in none other than Federal Reserve Board chairman Alan Greenspan. Starting in the 1950s, in fact, Greenspan was a stalwart member of Ayn Rand's intellectual inner circle. A self-designated "objectivist", Rand preached a strongly libertarian view, applying it to politics and economics, as well as to religion and popular culture. Under her influence, Greenspan wrote for the first issue of what was to become the widely-circulated Objectivist Newsletter. When Gerald Ford appointed him to the Council of Economic Advisors, Greenspan invited Rand to his swearing-in ceremony. He even attended her funeral in 1982. In 1967, Rand published her non-fiction book, Capitalism, the Unknown Ideal. In it, she included Gold and Economic Freedom, the essay by Alan Greenspan which appears below. Drawing heavily from Murray Rothbard's much longer The Mystery of banking, Greenspan argues persuasively in favor of a gold standard and against the concept of a central bank.
"In the absence of the gold standard, there is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation There is no safe store of value. If there were, the government would have to make its holding illegal, as was done in the case of gold. If everyone decided, for example, to convert all his bank deposits to silver or copper or any other good, and thereafter declined to accept checks as payment for goods, bank deposits would lose their purchasing power and government-created bank credit would be worthless as a claim on goods. The financial policy of the welfare state requires that there be no way for the owners of wealth to protect themselves."
"This is the shabby secret of the welfare statists' tirades against gold. Deficit spending is simply a scheme for the confiscation of wealth. Gold stands in the way of this insidious process. It stands as a protector of property rights. If one grasps this, one has no difficulty in understanding the statists' antagonism toward the gold standard."

A Caveat Against Injustice
http://www.rogershermansociety.org/caveat.htm
"It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning."
-Henry Ford
The few who can understand the system will be either so interested in its profits, or so dependent on its favors, that there will be no opposition from that class, while, on the other hand, that great body of people, mentally incapable of comprehending the tremendous advantage that Capital derives from the system, will bear its burden without complaint and, perhaps, without even suspecting that the system is inimical to their interests."
-Nathan Rothschild

Federal Reserve V.P. Grilled at House Hearing on Hundreds of Billions in Fed Loans to Wall Street
While the Democrats focused on the continuing predatory practices of U.S. banks and the Federal Reserve's coziness with those same banks, three Republicans at yesterday's House Financial Services Committee hearing delved into why the Federal Reserve is showering Wall Street's trading houses with super cheap loans on the pretext that it's simply part of the Fed's routine monetary operations. Since September 17, the Federal Reserve, through its New York Fed branch, has been funneling hundreds of billions of dollars each week to Wall Street's trading houses, intervening in what had been a private overnight lending operation (called repurchase agreements or repo loans) between banks and other financial institutions. Since September 17, the Fed loans have grown in both size and duration with some loans extended out as far as 42 days - suggesting to many on Wall Street that there is one or more banks in trouble that peer banks simply don't want to lend to. The Fed, however, has stuck to the mantra that this is just a routine response to a liquidity blip. The Republican Co-Chair of the Committee, Congressman Patrick McHenry (R-NC), began the questioning on the repo matter early in the hearing, asking the Fed's Vice President for bank supervision, Randal Quarles, to explain what has necessitated these loans on the part of the Fed. Quarles responded:
"There were a complex set of factors that contributed to those events in September. Not all of them were related to our regulatory framework. But I do think that as we have considered what were the driving factors in the disruption in the repo market in September, we have identified some areas where our existing supervision of the regulatory framework, less the calibration or structure of the framework itself, may have created some incentives that were contributors. "They were probably not the decisive contributors but they were contributors. And I think we need to examine them. Particularly among them are the internal liquidity stress tests that we run that create a preference, or can create a preference at some institutions, for central bank reserves over other liquid assets including Treasury securities for the satisfaction of their liquidity requirements under the liquidity framework that's put in post the crisis." This garbled response, which effectively said nothing, triggered a request for clarification from McHenry. Quarles answered:
"The regulation was intended to be structured so that banks would be indifferent between central bank reserves and other forms of liquid assets, particularly Treasury securities in satisfying their High Quality Liquid Asset (HQLA) retention requirements and the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) itself does not make any distinction." McHenry responded that there appears to be a distinction. Quarles said: "Some banks, from their internal assessment of how their liquid assets will perform in a future period of stress have put a heavy emphasis on central bank reserves as the most liquid assets. Treasury securities take a day to settle, markets can be disrupted in the event of extreme unexpected events. So that does create a thumb on the scale for central bank reserves. So I think it is worth reviewing, and we are reviewing some of these supervisory measures." Later in the hearing, Congressman French Hill (R-Arkansas) brought up the Fed's repo loans again, saying that he had had discussions on this matter with Quarles over "the last few weeks." Hill wasn't buying Quarles' earlier response to Congressman McHenry. Hill said:
"When you see the amount of the reserves held by the banks they're extensive; they're far above any requirement by the Dodd-Frank rules. The four largest banks collectively have more cash with the Fed than the next 24 combined. How does the Fed make clear to the banks that interday lending is a good thing, that is, that other banks have access to those amounts of cash that are far in excess of what they need regulatorily." Quarles said the Fed is looking at its supervisory role to make sure it is not creating incentives for "hoarding" by these big banks.
(Clearly, the biggest banks are hoarding and/or backing away from questionable financial institutions that they don't want to lend to.)
Congressman Warren Davidson (R-Ohio) asked about the Fed "injecting $100 billion or so a day into the repo market" and asked Quarles "Do you see a moral hazard in that?" Quarles said "I don't think actually that there is a moral hazard there."
what a douche..it's the very definition of it!

And just to interject with a reminder regarding the greatest act of treason in American history!
1913!
A demonrat House, demonrat Senate and demonrat president (not deserving of a capital p) committed outright treason, violated the American Constitution, allowing the setting up of a foreign pond-scum central bank and giving control over the American currency - a control given by the Founding Fathers to ONLY the elected government - to those same foreign scumbags and turning 100's of millions of Americans into debt slaves to globalist pigs who feel it is their right to control all the money in the world and if people in any country want to use their own currency…they can borrow off the scum at interest.
Americans must never forget the last 113 years of slavery of ALL Americans orchestrated and implemented by the treasonous demonrat party!
ALL AMERICANS must keep this uppermost in mind - demonrats have always been slave owners. demonrats owned ALL slaves, demonrats created the kkk, demonrats voted against ending slavery, demonrats voted against allowing their slaves to vote, the demonrats voted against giving female slaves the right to vote, or be equal.
Anyone in America, ABSOLUTELY ANYONE who thinks the demonrat slave-owners should be voted for is NOT American!

As market matures central banks conclude that a formal gold agreement is no longer necessary

26 July 2019
Signatories of the fourth central bank Gold Agreement no longer see need for formal agreement as market has developed and matured
Signatory central banks confirm gold remains an important element of global monetary reserves and none of them currently has plans to sell significant amounts of gold
The European central bank (ECB) and 21 other central banks that are signatories of the central bank Gold Agreement (CBGA) have decided not to renew the Agreement upon its expiry in September 2019.
The first CBGA was signed in 1999 to coordinate the planned gold sales by the various central banks. When it was introduced, the Agreement contributed to balanced conditions in the gold market by providing transparency regarding the intentions of the signatories. It was renewed three times in 2004, 2009 and 2014, gradually moving towards less stringent terms.
Since 1999 the global gold market has developed considerably in terms of maturity, liquidity and investor base. The gold price has increased around five-fold over the same period. The signatories have not sold significant amounts of gold for nearly a decade, and central banks and other official institutions in general have become net buyers of gold.
The signatories confirm that gold remains an important element of global monetary reserves, as it continues to provide asset diversification benefits and none of them currently has plans to sell significant amounts of gold.
The fourth CBGA, which expires on 26 September 2019, was signed by the ECB, the Nationale bank van België/Banque Nationale de Belgique, the Deutsche Bundesbank, Eesti Pank, the central bank of Ireland, the bank of Greece, the Banco de España, the Banque de France, the Banca d'Italia, the central bank of Cyprus, Latvijas banka, Lietuvos bankas, the Banque centrale du Luxembourg, the central bank of Malta, De Nederlandsche bank, the Oesterreichische Nationalbank, the Banco de Portugal, banka Slovenije, Národná banka Slovenska, Suomen Pankki - Finlands bank, Sveriges Riksbank and the Swiss National bank.

Q Research General #9490: Preview Q's "The Con", Now showing on projectDcomms! Edition
>>7420510
In September 2013 , representatives of the US, the EU, Ukraine and Russia met for a conference in Crimea. They gathered in the Liwadija Palace in Yalta , where in 1945 Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin decided to reorganize Europe after World War II.
Since 2004, the annual conference "Yalta European Strategy" (YES) takes place. Organizer and financier of the conference is Viktor Pinchuk. The oligarch became rich with his company Interpipe, which produces steel tubes and, above all, supplied to Gazprom. With one of Forbes estimated fortune of around 3.1 billion US dollars Pinchuk is one of the richest Ukrainians, and describes himself as an "art lover and philanthropist". He is considered a "bridge to the West" and has long been committed to Ukraine's integration into the EU.
The Economist described the conference in Yalta as a "meeting of the global elite" .
"The future of Ukraine , a country with 48 million inhabitants, and Europe was decided in real time," said The Economist. The conference had been a "show of militant diplomacy and impressive intellect" attended by reputable representatives of the European elite.
https://deutsche-wirtschafts-nachrichten.de/82260
In addition to Yanukovych, who was expelled five months later from office, was also the future President Petro Poroshenko present . Poroshenko was already one of the most important contact persons of the US secret services, as can be seen from Wikileaks documents (more here ).
According to Wikileaks, the new Ukrainian president has been very close to the Americans for years. He kept the US Embassy informed of current political developments. The Americans considered Poroshenko's activity as the central bank of Ukraine especially useful.

European Deep Pockets Are Preparing For New Big War
Large financiers and central banks are preparing for a new global economic crisis and a possible global war.
On November 29th, Bloomberg reported that "Gold is the new obsession of East Europe's nationalist leaders."
"Just this week, Poland's government touted its economic might after completing the repatriation of 100 tons of the metal. Over in Hungary, anti-immigrant Prime Minister Viktor Orban has been ramping up holdings of the safe-haven asset to boost the security of his reserves.
The gold rush mirrors steps by Russia and China to diversify reserves exceeding $3 trillion away from the dollar amid flaring geopolitical tensions with the U.S. Motivations in Europe's ex-communist wing, however, can vary."
Former Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico urged parliament to vote for the central bank to return the country's gold reserves from the UK.
"You can hardly trust even the closest allies after the Munich Agreement," Fico told reporters. "I guarantee that if something happens, we won't see a single gram of this gold. Let's do it as quickly as possible."
Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic ordered the central bank to boost reserves and prompted the purchase of nine tons of gold in October.
While Russia began to actively build up gold in its reserves, the Netherlands organized the export of 122 tons of gold from London, and the Netherlands isn't an Eastern European country.
Financial Times, published an article in which Rana Foroohar, a columnist who is known for her skepticism about gold, admits that even she is starting to get intimidated by the intensity with which interest in gold is rising:
"Gold bugs have always struck me as paranoid. You have to really believe the sky is falling in order to hoard physical bars in a digital age. So, it's rather worrying that some investors and central bankers are talking up gold."
Recently, billionaire financier Ray Dalio explained that the dollar and, accordingly, dollar debt obligations may depreciate due to the US budget policy and the actions of the US Federal Reserve and that in this context it is worth remembering the old financial saying.
"Gold is the only asset that you can have and which it will not be someone's debt obligation."

the pretence that economics is a science is ludicrous -

n 1968, Sveriges Riksbank (Sweden's central bank) established the Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel, founder of the Nobel Prize. The Prize is based on a donation received by the Nobel Foundation in 1968 from Sveriges Riksbank
Alfred Nobel's family initially objected to the fraud but more generous cult donation eased the pain .

Is Lebanon's central bank a Ponzi scheme ?
In the current political landscape, pursuing a simultaneous fight against corruption does not seem possible. Gebran Bassil (Free Patriotic Movement) announced that all the leading members of his party would make public their bank accounts. He also tabled a bill aimed at verifying the assets of civil servants. However, several hurdles would render such measures unworkable (the waiver of bank secrecy being prohibited by law in these circumstances; nothing has been said about the bank accounts belonging to the family members of political leaders; etc.).
Actually, corruption in Lebanon is not a violation of the law; it is the law itself that generates it. For example, there are import taxes, which nobody pays since the law grants an exemption to the 17 recognized religious communities. It is therefore sufficient to have the import declared by a person from one of these communities to avoid paying the tax. Thus, the port of Beirut loses out on US$ 3 billion every year.
The liquidity crisis, which sparked the 17 October protest movement, has worsened. banks only allow cash withdrawals in Lebanese pounds up to a maximum amount equivalent to US$ 500 per week. All the rating agencies (Fitch, Moody's and Standard & Poor's) have downgraded Lebanon's credit rating. Lebanon's central bank Governor, Riad Salamé, maintains that the country holds US$ 38 billion in foreign currency reserves, but according to Moody's they do not exceed 5 to 10 billion. On 28 November, Lebanon paid off a Eurobond of US$ 1.5 billion but may be unable to cover the next payment. The possibility of a bail-in targeting all Lebanese bank accounts is increasingly being brought up.
The personal fortune of the Prime Minister, Saad Hariri, has come under scrutiny. As was previously reported by the Saudi press, Mr. Hariri had to reimburse astronomical sums to the Saudi state. No one seems to know what has become of that unfathomable amount of debt. A lawsuit was filed against Hariri's personal bank to constrain it to return one billion dollars to one of its clients.
The Lebanese think tank "Triangle" regards the entire Lebanese financial system as a scam devised by the central bank Governor, Riad Salamé, to emulate the Ponzi scheme investment fraud. According to Sami Halabi and Jacob Boswall, the attractiveness of Lebanese banks stems from the high interest rate they offer on dollar deposits. But this rate can only be honoured provided there is a continuous flow of new deposits (see the full note below for details). A close confidant of deceased president Rafic Hariri, Riad Salamé has been at the helm of Lebanon's central bank since 1993, and is universally celebrated as one of the best central bank directors. His system only works because it benefits the country's historic warlords.
Such a system has never been observed in any other country since the Second World War, except in Albania in the 1990s. However, the scam in Albania consisted of a misappropriation of funds that benefited private companies, while in Lebanon it was designed to favour political leaders, to the detriment of taxpayers.

Lagarde: European central bank Demands 'Key Role' In Climate Change
Note also that the Minneapolis Fed chair states that its time for central banks to decide how to redistribute wealth.
The two go hand in hand, but confirm that the central banking system is fully complicit, if not causative, in the master plan to implement Sustainable Development, aka, Technocracy.
Ottmar Edenhofer, lead author of the IPCC's Fourth Assessment Report in 2007 stated, "One has to free oneself from the illusion that international climate policy is environmental policy. This has almost nothing to do with environmental policy anymore." ? TN Editor
Having failed miserably to "trickle down" stock market wealth for a decade as was their intention, something Ben Bernanke made clear in his Nov 4, 2010 WaPo op-ed, central banks have moved on to more noble causes.
Over the weekend Minneapolis Fed chair Neil Kashkari suggested it was time to allow central banks to directly decide how to redistribute wealth, stating unironically that "monetary policy can play the kind of redistributing role once thought to be the preserve of elected officials", apparently failing to realize that the Fed is not made up of elected officials but unelected technocrats who serve the bidding of the Fed's commercial bank owners.
Failing to decide how is poor and who is rich, central bankers are happy to settle with merely fixing the climate.

A Murdered central banker's Warning Changed Everything for SEB
Not all money laundering scandals are equal.
When the world learned that billions in dirty funds had flowed through Danske bank A/S and Swedbank AB, it proved disastrous for the two lenders. But when SEB AB was accused of similar offenses, people were more forgiving.
The difference can be traced back to a single point in time. SEB's chief executive officer, Johan Torgeby, says his bank made a clear choice back in 2006. That's when SEB started to tackle the kind of non-resident flows that have been at the epicenter of every Nordic-Baltic laundering scandal. Torgeby says SEB's choices are largely thanks to a dead central banker from Russia.
Dodgy Flows -
*Danske had about $220 billion in Estonian non-resident flows in 2007-2015
*Swedbank reportedly had about $155 billion in high-risk transactions
* SEB says it had about $93 billion in Estonian non-resident flows in 2005-2018
SEB, like Swedbank, is based in Stockholm. Together, the two dominate the Baltic banking market in which large-scale money laundering is alleged to have taken place. For Russian criminals eager to get their funds to the West, the setup was perfect, providing access to some of the world's most respected lenders via a region that was geographically close and familiar.
In 2006, SEB received a warning from Andrei Kozlov, a deputy chairman of Russia's central bank who was visiting Estonia. Kozlov made clear that the Baltic region was being used as a conduit for money launderers. Oligarchs and criminals from the former Soviet Union were systematically targeting the region to channel questionable funds into the West. Once there, the money would be plowed into luxury real estate, yachts, fur coats and even private school tuition.
"Three days after Kozlov, we started to work with police," Torgeby said in an interview.
Not long after he visited Estonia, Kozlov was shot dead. A subsequent trial attributed the murder to bankers angered by his efforts to fight money laundering.
The warning from Kozlov "was a really important event," Torgeby said. It "kind of kick-started what we today would call the modern way of trying to limit risks associated with money laundering."
SEB is still trying to figure out what went on over a decade ago, and is still going through "a lot of documents" from 2005 and 2006, he said. Management is "trying to do a forensic review of what happened 15 years ago."
According to ABG Sundal Collier, the decline in SEB's non-resident flows after 2006 show it was serious about trying to stop criminals from using its Estonian unit. ABG says that should limit the risk of costly probes and "huge fines."
SEB was founded in 1856 by the Wallenberg family, which owns large chunks of corporate Sweden. The Wallenbergs were quick to throw their support behind the lender after it emerged that about $30 billion in non-resident Estonian flows were exposed to the risk of money laundering. Swedish media also claim that about $50 million that moved through SEB can be linked to Russian tax fraud that Sergei Magnitsky died trying to investigate. Magnitsky was the lawyer of Hermitage Capital Management co-founder Bill Browder, who has made it his mission to chase down those tied to the case.
To be sure, the $30 billion in suspicious flows that SEB itself identified may well be enough to attract the attention of U.S. investigators, according to Elliott Stein, senior litigation analyst for Bloomberg Intelligence in New York.
"The key question will be how much of that touched the U.S. financial system via SEB," he said. "The possibility that U.S. sanctions may have been violated also increases the likelihood that the U.S. would be interested."
But SEB's decision to quell the flow of suspicious transactions well over a decade ago may influence how the U.S. responds.
"The statute of limitations is five years for money laundering but if earlier transactions are considered to be part of the same scheme as later transactions, they might be considered part of a continuing offense, which would essentially make the statute of limitations issue moot," Stein said. "But if the bank took steps to stop the activity by 2017, that could help mitigate a penalty."

China will not resort to quantitative easing: PBOC governor
BEIJING (Reuters) - China's central bank governor Yi Gang said in a signed article published on Sunday that Beijing should maintain "normal" monetary policy as long as possible since economic growth is still within a reasonable range and inflation is mild overall.
China will not resort to quantitative easing even as the monetary policies of the world's major economies are approaching zero interest rates, People's bank of China Governor Yi Gang wrote in an article published by the leading Communist Party theoretical journal Qiushi.
"We should not let the money held by the Chinese people become worthless... Maintaining positive interest rates and upward-inclined yield curve is generally conducive to the economic entities, and in line with the Chinese people's saving culture, thus beneficial to the sustainable development of the economy," said Yi.
He reiterated the central bank will continue to implement prudent monetary policy, conduct counter-cyclical adjustments, improve monetary policy transmission and keep liquidity reasonably ample.
China's economic growth slowed to near 30-year lows in the third quarter and industrial profits continued to shrink, and speculation is mounting that Beijing needs to roll out stimulus more quickly and more aggressively, even if it risks adding to a pile of debt.
The exchange rate of China's yuan is decided by supply and demand, we will not play the yuan as a tool and will not resort to competitive devaluation of the yuan, said Yi.
China's central bank will continue to promote reform of the yuan, and maintain its flexibility and keep it basically stable on a reasonably balanced level, the governor said, adding that Beijing will conduct necessary macro-prudential management in the foreign exchange market when needed.
Yi also said China will strengthen the supervision of property financing markets.

There is also the long standing hatred of Putin BY the [DS]. Their hatred of Putin stems from what he has done for Russia and it is very mutual except President Putin hates the [DS] for what they have done TO Russia.
When Putin was elected in 2000 the first major step he took against the [DS] scum was to start paying off Russia's national debt to the rothschild banking cult. In 2006 Putin gave the rothschilds their last penny…and kicked them out of the country, setting up the Rossiya central bank as Russia's bank and taking over Russian Currency for Russia.
Now, if Russia needs money, the government fulfills THEIR mandate and "spends money into existence" and all profits go to the nation instead of some globalist scum bag.
So yes, the [DS] hates Putin and he hates them and even though President Trump and President Putin haven't any public contact I have no doubt letters have been sent between ALL concerned: Presidents Trump, Putin, Xi…and Kim have likely communicated through snail-mail for a long time and each, in their own way and in their own country are fighting the same fight.
This is global and like-thinking allies with the courage to go against the vested interests in their own country and government just don't grow on trees (just look how the Lunatic Fringe - the demonrats - act, there are useless corrupt, treasonous politicians just like the slimey demonrats in all countries)…these people are at war for a reason and once this enemy, the greatest enemy, is dealt with, we will have sovereign nation states again; independent, free from foreign oppression. free from evil within…but likely bitching at each other over minor things that get settled rather than turn into a major war so scum orchestrating the [DS] can get richer.

The Rush To A Cashless Society Only Serves Globalist Interests
fundamental pillar of true free markets is the existence of choice; the availability of options from production to providers to purchase mechanisms without interference from governments or corporate monopolies. Choice means competition, and competition drives progress. Choice can also drive changes within society, for if people know a better or more secure way of doing things exists, why would anyone want to stay trapped within the confines of a limited system? At the very least, people should be allowed to choose economic mechanisms that work best for their particular situation.
This is NOT how our society functions today, and free market do not exist anywhere in modern nations including the US. Whenever I hear someone (usually a socialist) blame free market "capitalism" for the oppressive ailments of the world, I have to laugh. The alliance between governments and corporate monopolies (what Mussolini called national socialism or fascism) makes free markets utterly impossible. What we have today is an amalgamation of socialist economic interference and corporatocracy. Our system is highly restrictive and micro-managed for everyone except the money elites, who do not have to follow the same rules the rest of us do.
Of course, I might be preaching to the choir when it comes to these issues. But, there are some underlying developments being pushed forward by globalists hell-bent on a one world monetary system and a one world government that even many liberty activists are not fully aware of.
In alternative economic circles, the US dollar is seen as the end-all-be-all of fiat currency dominance. Many activists see it as the key to the power of the global elites and they think the Federal Reserve is the top of the globalist pyramid. This is not exactly true.
The US dollar is itself just another tool of the banking cabal, and tools sometimes lose their usefulness over time. While it could be said that for the past several decades the dollar as the world reserve currency was the core of globalist influence, this is about to change and we can see the signs today. The rush towards a cashless society in the past few years is startling and unfortunately too many liberty activists have been suckered into thinking that it's is a good thing.
There are a number of reasons for this. As mentioned above, activists see the dollar (or Fed note) as fuel for the globalist machine, and so obviously they would like to see it go down in flames. They also are generally proponents of free markets, and the exploding trend of cryptocurrencies has given them the illusion that "choice" is returning to economy through "monetary competition". I understand the basis for this attitude, and I appreciate where it's coming from. I also have never been a proponent of the dollar or any other central bank fiat system. This article should not be misinterpreted as a defense of dollar hegemony.
That said, there is a much bigger agenda at play here, and the dollar is only one fading part of it as it is being quietly replaced by a completely digital framework. We have to once again ask ourselves - Who really benefits from a sudden shift in the economic and monetary world? Who gains political and social power through a cashless society? Is it the public? Or, is it the same banking elites and globalists that have always held sway over our economic structure?
In 2017 I published an article called 'The Globalist One World Currency Will Look A Lot Like Bitcoin'. In it, I warned that the trendy marketing of cryptocurrencies to the general public by the mainstream media was extremely suspicious and contrary to the notion that the establishment was "terrified" of Bitcoin or blockchain tech putting them out of business. I also warned of the deep involvement of international banks like Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan in the progress of blockchain infrastructure and more specifically Goldman Sachs and the IMF's love affair with digital monetary systems. Goldman Sachs even referred to the blockchain as "the new technology of trust…"
Clearly, the banking elites are not worried about this technology. In fact, they have been investing in it heavily. But why? I have long held that current popular cryptocurrencies are nothing more than a beta test for a global digital currency system controlled by the elites.

You know that the Queen has been told to dissolve the monarchy, which is why she didn't wear her crown to open parliament.
But something far more profound is occuring, and I suspect it's worldwide. She is no longer stealing our income taxes.
In case you don't know, the main reason we pay taxes, is to pay back the Crown for the roads, ports, railways etc that the Crown paid for before we "earned" our "independence".
All nations that have a central bank pay the Crown 21% of their GDP annually. Its collected by the tax department, enforced by the courts, and punished by the police.
Incredibly, the New Zealand Labour Party, led by Jacinda "dick swinger" Ardern, posted a $7.5 billion (NZD) surplus. Given the acute fiscal incompetence of the left, this can only mean the Crown has stopped stealing that 21%…….

Mauldin: We're On The Brink Of The Second "Great Depression"
You really need to watch this video of a recent conversation between Ray Dalio and Paul Tudor Jones. Their part is about the first 40 minutes.
In this video, Ray highlights some problematic similarities between our times and the 1930s. Both feature:
a large wealth gap
the absence of effective monetary policy
a change in the world order, in this case the rise of China and the potential for trade wars/technology wars/capital wars.
He threw in a few quick comments as their time was running out, alluding to the potential for the end of the world reserve system and the collapse of fiat monetary regimes.
Maybe it was in his rush to finish as their time is drawing to a close, but it certainly sounded a more challenging tone than I have seen in his writings.
Currency Wars
It brought to mind an essay I read last week from my favorite central banker, former BIS Chief Economist William White.
He was warning about potential currency wars, aiming particularly at the US Treasury's seeming desire for a weaker dollar. Ditto for other governments around the world. He believes this is a prescription for disaster.
One possibility is that it might lead to a disorderly end to the current dollar based regime, which is already under strain for a variety of both economic and geopolitical reasons. To destroy an old, admittedly suboptimal, regime without having prepared a replacement could prove very costly to trade and economic growth.
Perhaps even worse, conducting a currency war implies directing monetary policy to something other than domestic price stability. There ceases to be a domestic anchor to constrain the expansion of central bank balance sheets.
Should this lead to growing suspicion of all fiat currencies, especially those issued by governments with large sovereign debts, a sharp increase in inflationary expectations and interest rates might follow. How this might interact with the record high debt ratios, both public and private, that we see in the world today, is not hard to imagine.
I called Bill to ask if he thought this was going to happen. Basically, he said no, but it shouldn't even be considered. It was his gentlemanly way of issuing a warning.
Currency devaluations against gold were part of the root cause of the Great Depression. Coupled with protectionism and tariffs, they devastated global economic growth and trade.
The Repeat of the 1930s?
Do I think it will happen in any significant way in the next few years?
It is not my highest probability scenario. But imagine a recession that brings the US deficit to $2 trillion, possibly followed by a governmental change that raises taxes and spending.

Peak Irony: Fed Paper Admits Fed Policy Can Lead To Economic Ruin
A paper by Scott A. Wolla and Kaitlyn Frerking for the Federal Reserve bank of St. Louis warns that the Fed's own policy could lead to "economic ruin.
The paper titled "Making Sense of National Debt" explains the pros and cons of national borrowing in typical Keynesian fashion. In a nutshell, a little debt is a good thing, but too much debt can become a problem.
But in the process of explaining national debt, Wolla and Frerking stumble into an ugly truth - Federal Reserve money printing can destroy a country's economy.
So, when does the national debt become a problem?
According to Wolla and Frerking, debt only becomes an issue when it outpaces GDP, or national income, as they call it. If debt grows at a faster rate than income, eventually the debt might become unsustainable.
They note that according to the GAO, the US national debt is on an unsustainable path.
The federal debt is projected to grow at a faster rate than GDP for the foreseeable future. A significant portion of the growth in projected debt is to fund social programs such as Medicare and Social Security. Using debt held by the public (instead of total public debt), the debt-to-GDP ratio averaged 46 percent from 1946 to 2018 but reached 77 percent by the end of 2018. It is projected to exceed 100 percent within 20 years."
Note that the total public debt is even higher. Most analysts put the total debt to GDP ratio at around 105%.
As Wolla and Frerking point out, rising levels of debt elevate the risk of default. Normally, investors holding government bonds bear this risk. While governments never have to entirely pay off debt, there are debt levels that investors might perceive as unsustainable.
Enter the central bank. Wolla and Frerking explain how it can step in and "print money" in an effort to rescue the overleveraged government.
While governments never have to entirely pay off debt, there are debt levels that investors might perceive as unsustainable. A solution some countries with high levels of unsustainable debt have tried is printing money. In this scenario, the government borrows money by issuing bonds and then orders the central bank to buy those bonds by creating (printing) money. History has taught us, however, that this type of policy leads to extremely high rates of inflation (hyperinflation) and often ends in economic ruin."
The process that Wolla and Frerking describe is called debt monetization. And it's exactly what the Federal Reserve is doing today.
Last month, the Fed announced a massive bond-buying program.
The Federal Reserve will buy $60 billion in short-term Treasury bills each month. According to a statement, the purchases will continue, "at least into the second quarter of next year." That would amount to around $400 billion worth of Treasurys added to the Fed's balance sheet.
But the balance sheet will likely expand more than that. The Fed also plans to use interest it earns off its portfolio to buy more Treasurys. And as they mature, it will take that money and buy more bonds, thus pumping up the balance sheet.
Powell insists this is not quantitative easing. When he announced the plan, Powell said, "This is not QE. In no sense is this QE." But as Peter Schiff said, this is precisely QE - no matter what you call it.

Hunter Biden may have to pay back the millions he made, which were stolen from the people of Ukraine, under U.S. law
Part 1
The one, overriding impression that Democrats, media and the left have left on many Americans after two weeks of the "impeachment" circus" is not what they intended. They have left the unmistakable impression of fear; near-panic levels of terror. And from what is now seeping out, they have every reason to feel this way.
You see, their con-game is about to be exposed. The merciless corruption and venal disregard for the American people that has become their entire operating model is on the verge of being dragged through the streets for all to see and ridicule.
At every turn, the true matter before the nation is becoming more and more obvious - the deep and systemic corruption that the Obama administration imposed on America, the disdain of the American people by the globalist elite, and the desperation to hide the facts from the public even at the cost of the legitimacy America's most central institutions.
The list is long. From the vile action of the communist-supporting John Brennan of Obama's CIA to the likely criminal "leadership" of the FBI under Comey, to the globalist hit-squad at the State Department, the picture is one of arrogant disregard for the law, an almost adolescent rebellion against the nation that has given them so much. And while the list of violators is long, it is fitting that the crux of the current debate starts with the outright, open corruption of the Biden family, especially Hunter Biden.
Hunter Biden is the essence of the modern leftist movement; self-important, narcissistic to the extreme and greedy beyond words. Once the Democrats and their quislings inside the bureaucracy learned that the President was looking into the Ukrainian natural gas company, Burisma, accused of stealing from the Ukrainian government during the Viktor Yanukovych administration, that had funneled millions to Hunter Biden, they knew they had to double down. And in classic fashion, Democrats and the left have engaged in an orgy of casting accusations against other people of their own worst crimes.
Hunter Biden could owe the millions he made in Ukraine from Burisma back to the people of Ukraine as a part of an asset recovery process under U.S. law. Under 22 U.S.C. Section 8904(a): "The Secretary of State, in coordination with the Attorney General and the Secretary of the Treasury, shall assist, on an expedited basis as appropriate, the Government of Ukraine to identify, secure, and recover assets linked to acts of corruption by Viktor Yanukovych, members of his family, or other former or current officials of the Government of Ukraine or their accomplices in any jurisdiction through appropriate programs, including the Kleptocracy Asset Recovery Initiative of the Department of Justice."
And now we know the new Ukrainian Prosecutor General Ruslan Ryaboshapka has expanded his office looking at the theft by Burisma and the company's head, Mykola Zlochevsky, of stealing $33 million from the country's central bank. The monies are all fungible, so it is likely Biden profited from this alleged theft while at Burisma, even if it was years later. It looks like he was hired to keep this investigation from happening, so giving the money back is the least the younger Biden could do.

Q Research General #9445: Hit those memes for USMCA! Daytime Diggers Unite!Edition
Hunter Biden's China connections plagued by ethics questions and national security concerns
As the Democrat-led impeachment inquiry into President Trump deepens, a spotlight has been cast on Hunter Biden ventures abroad not only in Ukraine but in China, where he set about investing while his dad served as vice president.
The questions come as Republicans are demanding that Hunter Biden - the 49-year-old son of Democratic presidential hopeful Joe Biden - appear before Congress to testify on his work.
For almost six years, the firm connected to Hunter Biden in China has moved more than $2.5 billion into various automotive, technology, energy, and mining endeavors.
Analysts point to the plethora of "ethical challenges" of Hunter doing such deals in China while his father was in the White House.
"At a time when the Obama administration was trying to pivot to Asia, a policy that ultimately fell flat, one has to at least stop and think what connections between policy and personal interests were there," said Harry Kazianis, senior director for the Center for the National Interest. "While chances are Hunter Biden was doing what a lot of family members of famous politicians do - cash in on their name - it looks dirty."
Biden served as one of nine directors of the private equity firm Bohai Harvest RST - better known as BHR Partners - which is 80 percent mandated by shareholders in the Chinese government, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The firm was registered less than two weeks after Biden flew with his then-vice president father on Air Force Two for official business in China in December 2013, but his lawyer has previously stated that talks were in place months earlier.
In the closing days of that December, China's central bank, the bank of China in conjunction with Rosemount Seneca - the firm Biden founded in 2009 with John Kerry's stepson Christopher Heinz and family friend Devon Archer - set up the $1 billion investment joint venture called Bohai Harvest RST. The "RS" signifies Rosemount Seneca, and the "T" is in reference to the Thornton Group, a Massachusetts-based international consulting company established by James Bulger, the nephew of infamous mob boss James "Whitey" Bulger.

Q Research General #9444: Trips confirm Memers are golden! USMCA! Czech em! Edition
Eustace Mullins: Communism is Jewish Cabalism
A plank in the Communist Manifesto was the establishment of a private central bank. Every country with one will gradually become Communist because the Cabalist Jewish central bankers must protect their fraudulent monopoly over the national credit by extending it to a total political, economic and cultural monopoly i.e. Communist tyranny.
Communism is Cabalism, a Satanic cult which inverts reality and morality. It dehumanizes and degrades Jew and non-Jew alike. We have been inducted into this cult. Just look at the hysterical cult-like reaction to Trump by mainstream media, politicians and corporate CEOs who are all central bankers lackeys. There is very little independent thought or investigation. Say goodbye to Western civilization and hello to the NWO. Ezra Mullins (1923-2010) was a pioneer in exposing the subversion of humanity by Cabalist bankers.
Disclaimer- I disagree with Mullins' assertion that the "parasitism" of the bankers represents all Jews. I am not a parasite nor is my family nor are many Jews. They work as hard as anyone else. Nor do they know anything about their "religion" or the bankers' pernicious agenda. I realize that Jews are at the forefront of the NWO but most other Jews are dupes like everyone else. Mullins was a racist in that he imputed certain characteristics to all Jews regardless of their actual beliefs and individual behavior. People who feel aggrieved are the first to victimize other innocent parties.

Pope names new financial regulator chief following police raid
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-vatican-raid-regulator/pope-names-new-financial-regulator-chief-following-police-raid-idUSKBN1Y11FK
VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Pope Francis named a respected senior bank of Italy official on Wednesday to head the Vatican's financial regulator, following unprecedented police raids on the organization as part of an investigation into the purchase of luxury London real estate.
Pope Francis leads the weekly general audience at the Vatican, November 27, 2019.
Carmelo Barbagallo, 63, former head of supervision at Italy's central bank, succeeds Swiss lawyer Rene Bruelhart as head of the Vatican's Financial Information Authority (AIF).
Bruelhart left last week after five years in the post when the pope did not renew his mandate.
Vatican police entered the offices of the AIF and of the Secretariat of State - the administrative heart of the Catholic Church - on Oct. 1, as part of their investigation of an investment the Secretariat had made in London real estate.
The officers, operating under a search warrant secured by the Vatican's own prosecutor, seized documents, computers and cellphones during the raids.

Q Research General #9436: Moar Memes,Diggs n Bewbs for the cause! Less Whine! Edition
I'm looking ahead to the next GREAT battle The Maestro and the Q Team will need to undertake after the initial orgasm of cutting off the minions of the globalist pigs who believe <<they>> "own" the world.
This battle relates directly to the [DS]/globalist scum takeover in the late 70's/early eighties when they began to buy up all of the publishing houses that produce education materials, replacing truth and actual history with the globalist scum propaganda. That is why we now have moronials, brain-dead wastes of oxygen like the basement-dwellers in the anti-first amendment fascist organization and about 99.88 percent of those "identifying" as the non-existent "democrat" party…non-existent because it is impossible to have a "democratic-socialist" as those two terms cancel each other out…you either believe in a "democratic" form of government or you believe in a socialist dictatorship.
We now have at least 2 generations of children who have been brainwashed since they were in kindergarten into believing they are the problem and that the only solution is to give up ones money, freedom, dreams, hopes, homeland and true history to a group of decidedly sub-intellect worker-bees for the globalist scum trying to destroy all forms of "of, for and by the people" in nations all over the world to replace it with socialist nightmare dictatorships with absolute pond-scum like bernie sanders, pocahontas and the entire lineup on the socialist side…except for - to be fair - tulsi gabbard who, while still an idiot for espousing demonrat talking points and fighting against freedom FOR the people is far above the other sub-intellects in the demonrat race for the bottom…and they will ALL destroy everything good in life in America if they EVER get into power again.
Remember: 1913! The year of the greatest treason in American history when a demonrat house, demonrat senate and demonrat (and VERY racist) president committed treason by violating the American Constitution and their Constitutionally mandated responsibilities by allowing the setting up of a foreign-scum "central bank" owned and controlled by these foreign-scum and their intellectually, ethically and morally bankrupt servants in the demonrat party, turning hundreds of millions of Americans (and Canadians) into debt-slaves for generations just so the globalist scum and their fawning minions can have a comfortable, stress-free, money-rich existence while standing on the corpses of the people.
Want to take freedom back? Excise the pond scum from all public life. Excise the propaganda-filled globalist owned/controlled educational publishing houses. Re-do exams for all graduates from universities to make sure those people holding "degrees" (in anything other than basket weaving or navel gazing) have actual, real, truthful knowledge and are not just parroting the globalist scum doctoring of reality.
Americans must never forget the last 113 years of slavery of ALL Americans orchestrated and implemented by the treasonous demonrat party!
ALL AMERICANS must keep this uppermost in mind - demonrats have always been slave owners. demonrats owned ALL slaves, demonrats created the kkk, demonrats voted against ending slavery, demonrats voted against allowing their slaves to vote, the demonrats voted against giving female slaves the right to vote, or be equal.
Anyone in America, ABSOLUTELY ANYONE who thinks the demonrat slave-owners should be voted for is NOT American!

China central bank Warns Downward Pressure On Economy Increasing
Several weeks ago, the People's bank of China (PBOC) said it would "increase counter-cyclical adjustments" to prevent downward pressure on the economy. Now the PBOC is warning that it might not be able to ward off these downward pressures in the short term, reported Reuters.
The PBOC's annual financial stability report said China would continue to deploy fiscal and monetary policies to support the economy but warned economic deceleration would continue through year-end.
Policy maneuvering by the PBOC will be limited as it will likely need to cut rates and the amount of money banks put down as reserves to promote credit growth.
The PBOC recognizes the rapid deterioration in the economy, along with the limitations of monetary policy to revive growth.
Likely, credit creation via the PBOC won't be in magnitude seen in the last ten years used to save the world from escaping several deflationary crashes.
The government will likely stabilize its economy or at least create a softer landing through tax cuts and infrastructure spending, the annual report said.
What this all means is that China's economy isn't going to save the world as it has done since 2008. China's credit impulse has rolled over, the probabilities of a massive global economic rebound in the coming quarters are unlikely as China continues slow.

Sri Lanka's central bank Governor Submits Resignation
Coomaraswamy says his decision is for personal reasons. Governor to chair his final policy meeting this week.
Sri Lankan central bank Governor Indrajit Coomaraswamy said he submitted his resignation earlier this month and plans to leave his post in December.
The decision was due to personal reasons and not related to recent political changes following last week's election, Coomaraswamy said by phone from Colombo. He'll chair his final monetary policy decision on Nov. 29 and leave the bank on Dec. 20, he said.
"I tended a letter of resignation on Nov. 4. It has nothing to do with elections and politics," he said. "It has been in the making" since last year, but had been put on hold due to the 2018 political crisis and April terror attacks, he said.
Under his leadership since July 2016, the central bank has raised interest rates to a six-year high to curb inflation and took measures to stem the currency's slide. The bank cut rates twice this year after economic growth took a knock from political turmoil and the Easter Sunday bomb attacks, which hurt tourism to the island nation.
Sri Lanka's presidential election this month was won by Gotabhaya Rajapaksa, brother of strongman President Mahinda Rajapaksa, who ruled from 2005 to 2015.
The governor said he tendered his resignation to President Maithripala Sirisena. Mohan Karunaratne, a spokesman for new president Rajapaksa, wasn't immediately available to comment.

Bitcoin slumps below $7,000 mark for first time in 6 months
Digital currencies slump on fears of China crackdown
Bitcoin fell below the $7,000 mark on Sunday for the first time since May.
The price of bitcoin BTCUSD, -3.90% was last around $6,850, according to Coindesk, after slumping about 24% over the past month. In June, the leading cryprocurrency topped $9,000 for the first time in more than a year, eventually topping out above $13,000.
The recent tumble is being attributed to China's recent announcement that it will crack down on crypto trading. A statement by the People's bank of China on Friday warned it was increasing "supervision and control to combat virtual currency transactions."
—-"Investors should be careful not to mix blockchain technology with virtual currency," the central bank said, warning of the many risks of cryptocurrency trading.—-
There has also been speculation in recent months that China is preparing to launch a state-run digital currency, though the PBoC denied such a report earlier this year.
Bitcoin is not the only digital currency to suffer - Ethereum ETHUSD, -3.81% is down 22% over the past month and Ripple XRPUSD, -6.35% is off 25% over that span.
Still, the price of bitcoin is up 85% year to date, while Ethereum is up 8% and Ripple is down 37% in 2019.
As of Sunday night, bitcoin's market cap was $126.3 billion, according to Coinmarketcap.com, while Ethereum was $15.5 billion and Ripple was $9.7 billion.

This ties back to the DTCC and muh exchanges. They are fake transactions in most of the daily volumes. Stock/bond/currency mkts are no different.

Asia Stocks Set for Worst Day of Year as FX Meets Trade
Bruised by the Federal Reserve and beaten by President Donald Trump's comments on trade, Asian stocks lost over $700 billion in market value last week. It didn't get any better Monday.
The MSCI Asia Pacific Index slumped as much as 2.2%, set for the worst slump this year as trade tensions escalated and the yuan hit a record low.
Let's start with the trade war. The trade tension heightened when Trump ratcheted up his rhetoric late Friday by saying he could boost levies on China to a "much higher number." In response, China's government has asked state-owned enterprises to suspend imports of U.S. agricultural products, people familiar with the situation said.
China Asked State Buyers to Halt U.S. Agriculture Imports
The Chinese government has asked its state-owned enterprises to suspend imports of U.S. agricultural products after President Donald Trump ratcheted up trade tensions with the Asian nation last week, people familiar with the situation said.
China's state-run agricultural firms have now stopped buying American farm goods, and are waiting to see how trade talks progress, the people said, declining to be identified as they're not authorized to speak to the media. China's commerce ministry didn't respond to a fax seeking comment.
https://www.bloomberg.com//news/articles/2019-08-05/china-asked-state-buyers-to-halt-u-s-agriculture-imports
Meanwhile in Hong Kong, the city's protests also escalated with a general strike and commute disruptions. The city's chief executive Carrie Lam condemned protesters challenging China's sovereignty, saying they wanted to "completely ruin Hong Kong".
The Hang Seng Index slumped as much as 3% to its lowest since January, almost wiping out gains for the year. "The ongoing protest and riot has started to erode investor confidence about the city's future, in particular the real estate, luxury retail, tourism and even the public transportation sector," said Margaret Yang, a market analyst at CMC Markets Singapore Pte Ltd.
Also in the region, there was no let up in the tension between Japan and South Korea, with South Korean Prime Minister Lee Nak-yon on Sunday urging Tokyo to correct its "reckless and risky" decision to curb exports to the country.
Meanwhile, market participants were readying for the week's central bank meetings in India, Philippines, New Zealand and Australia. Click here to read Bloomberg Intelligence's estimates on these events.
Of course one thing the more optimistic investor could pin their hopes on is further monetary support amid all the macro uncertainty. They will be happy to hear from bank of America Merrill Lynch strategists including Helen Qiao, who wrote in a note that the escalation in trade tensions may lead to further policy easing in China. The team believe the PBOC will gradually pump more liquidity into the economy when needed, and it may also tolerate more currency adjustment to counter the trade shocks.

Putin's Pledge to Ditch the Dollar Is Slowly Becoming a Reality
Euro closes in on dollar as top currency for exports to EU. India agreed to pay Russia in rubles for defence sales.
Russia is acting on a pledge by President Vladimir Putin to shrink the role of dollar in international trade as tensions sour between Washington and Moscow.
The shift is part of a strategy to "de-dollarize" the Russian economy and lower its vulnerability to U.S. sanctions. But while the central bank was able to quickly dump half of its dollar holdings last year, progress in trade has been slow due to ingrained use of the greenback for many transactions.
The share of euros in Russian exports increased for a fourth straight quarter at the expense of the U.S. currency, according to central bank data. The common currency has almost overtaken the dollar in trade with the European Union and China and trade in rubles with India surged. The dollar's share in import transactions remained unchanged at about a third.
"There's been a strong incentive to change, not just for Russia but for its trading partners too," said Dmitry Dolgin, an economist at ING bank in Moscow. "The European Union is also now facing trade pressure from the U.S." pushing them to try to reduce dependence on the dollar, he said.
The euro came close to replacing the dollar as the currency of choice for Russian exports to the European Union, with its share climbing to 42% in the first quarter from 32% a year earlier.
Russia still relies on the dollar for more than half of its $687.5 billion annual trade, though less than 5% of those deals are with the U.S. Part of Russia's motivation to shift is that companies suffer delays on as much as a third of international payments in dollars because Western companies have to check with the U.S. whether the transactions are allowed, Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said in December.
The euro's share also increased in Russia's $108 billion annual trade with China, jumping to more than a third of export settlements in the first quarter from almost nothing at the start of 2018. This shift, which covers commodity sales and big state contracts, has been accelerated by the development of payment infrastructure at the central bank and other lenders, according to Sofya Donets, an economist at Renaissance Capital in Moscow.
Trade in yuan is difficult because of capital restrictions that limit foreigners' access to Chinese assets, Dmitry Timofeev, who heads the Finance Ministry's sanctions department, told the RBC newspaper.
"The yuan isn't completely convertable, which means it can't play a significant role in world trade," Timofeev said.
The most dramatic shift is visible in Russia's $11 billion trade with India. The ruble accounted for three quarters of total settlement in exports between the two emerging markets after they agreed on a new payment method through their national currencies for multi-billion-dollar defense deals.
"The trend is likely to continue because the infrastructure for transactions in alternative currencies is improving," Renaissance Capital's Donets said. "Russia won't be able to give up using the dollar completely though, especially for trade of oil."

this is why VP was let out of the US treasury notes starting in 2017 and accelerated in 2018. You can't do this without the help of the the original issuer, US treasury-he used most of the proceeds to buy gold.
still has to exist with the EU so you can't just shut off yourself from them, hence the using of euro's will continue to rise as long as the chinese use them to settle trade balances-the yuan is not usable(on a large scale) because they are in massive printing mode to save themselves-no one wants to be "caught" holding them during an inflationary currency cycle.

Rates Markets Ripe for Shake Up as Five Asia central banks Meet
Rate cuts expected in New Zealand, India and Philippines.
This week looms as a key one for Asian financial markets with no less than five central banks set to hand down decisions that may set the tone for the rest of the year.
Markets are predicting policy makers in India, the Philippines and New Zealand will all cut interest rates to shore up faltering growth, while those in Australia will pause after back-to-back moves, and Thailand looks set to avoid lowering borrowing costs at all.
The Reserve bank of Australia is first up on Tuesday, with markets expecting it to stay on hold after cutting rates in June and July to a record 1%. The next reduction is currently priced for December, with a further one expected in mid-2020.
There's a growing perception the RBA may be unwilling to lower its benchmark below 0.5%, suggesting there is a possible floor for rates just a few basis points below next year's pricing. This would appear to create an asymmetric risk, i.e., there's a much more room for rates to rise than fall.
The Reserve bank of New Zealand announces policy Wednesday. Markets are fully pricing in a 25 basis-point cut from the current 1.5%, a follow up to a similar move in May. Swap markets suggest the central bank will cut again later this year, and possibly once more by April.
A lot is priced in, but RBNZ has said it may allow interest rates to fall as low as minus 35 basis points, according to a Treasury paper prepared earlier this year looking at options for unconventional monetary policy. That means there's plenty of room for rates to go lower.
The Reserve bank of India also announces Wednesday, and markets are broadly pricing in a rate cut this week and another in the next six months. The central bank lowered its repurchase rate to a nine-year low of 5.75% in June and paved the way for more easing. Significant rate cuts would do a lot of good for the country, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said last week.
More easing is coming and that should be bullish for Indian swap rates, especially as there's plenty of room to keep cutting if inflation stays in check. Data released earlier this month showed consumer prices rose 3.13% in June from a year earlier, below RBI's target of 4%.
Some economists are predicting a rate cut when the bank of Thailand meets Wednesday but the market isn't pricing one in. The central bank has preferred to use verbal intervention and reducing bond supply to guide the local currency rather than adjusting interest rates. The stronger dollar has taken some pressure off the baht (and the central bank) and may help push up short-dated rates as well.
The forward curve has shifted lower since the end of May with three-month money-market rates fixing about 30 basis points below the central bank's benchmark. This would typically signal lower rates, but in this case appears to reflect a stronger baht, and the flat-term structure argues against any change in central bank rates.
The diverging outlooks for the five central banks announcing policy this week throws up a number of potential trades. Signs of stability in Australia and a possible floor under rates provides some room for Aussie short-end rates to rise, particularly against those of New Zealand where there is plenty of scope to ease.
Turning to Southeast Asia, Thai swap rates may be set to underperform as the baht has room to soften, while rates in the Philippines and India have scope to reset even lower. In the world of cross-market positions though, it's important to remember everything is relative.
Below are key Asian economic data and events due this week:
*Monday, Aug. 5: China Caixin composite PMI;
expect MUCH PAIN HERE
Indonesia GDP; Taiwan foreign reserves
*Tuesday, August 6: Reserve bank of Australia policy decision; New Zealand jobs; CPI release from Philippines, Taiwan; South Korea current account balance
*Wednesday, Aug. 7: Reserve bank of India policy decision; Reserve bank of New Zealand policy decision; bank of Thailand rate decision; Taiwan trade balance
*Thursday, Aug. 8: Philippine central bank rate decision; China trade balance (and PAIN here too)
*Friday, Aug. 9: Japan GDP; China CPI, PPI (good ruck here as well)

EU settles on World bank official Georgieva to lead IMF
BRUSSELS (Reuters) - European Union governments picked Bulgaria's Kristalina Georgieva as the bloc's candidate to lead the International Monetary Fund after more than 12 hours of talks on Friday that highlighted the EU's internal divisions.
The 65-year-old chief executive of the World bank got the backing of a majority of the 28 EU states, defeating the Dutch candidate Jeroen Dijsselbloem after two rounds of voting and prolonged negotiations among EU nations.
"Congratulations Georgieva for being selected as European candidate to lead the IMF. In the face on rising global tensions, it is imperative to uphold the IMF as symbol of multilateralism," said the chair of eurozone finance ministers, Mario Centeno.
Georgieva is a center-right politician who grew up in Bulgaria under communism before a career that brought her to the top of the World bank and the European Commission.
Most EU states backed Georgieva even though her candidacy will force a change in IMF rules that require the managing director to be younger than 65 years old when appointed. The need for that change could weaken the European candidate if a sufficiently large number of IMF member states oppose the reform.
However, a European official said support from EU countries and the United States would be enough to overhaul the rules in the global fund that has historically been dominated by the Western bloc. According to an IMF fact sheet, a bylaw change to remove or modify the age limit would require approval by a majority of board votes cast.
The source added that France, which is leading the European selection process, had already secured Washington's support on this change.
A U.S. Treasury spokesman could not immediately be reached for comment on Georgieva's nomination, but U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin spoke highly of her work in a Reuters interview last month.
The top job at the Washington-based world lender has always been filled by a European. The former IMF chief, France's Christine Lagarde, resigned in July after EU leaders chose her to replace Mario Draghi as European central bank president.
"Great news and well deserved," said World bank President David Malpass in an emailed statement to Reuters. Georgieva "brings strong leadership and deep country knowledge," he added.
Georgieva said in a tweet that she was relinquishing her World bank resonsibilities and would take administrative leave during the nomination process.
A group of countries led by the Netherlands and Germany preferred Dijsselbloem, but were outnumbered by southern and eastern states who backed Georgieva, in a new sign of German Chancellor Angela Merkel's fading clout in the EU bloc.
Since an informal compromise was impossible among increasingly split EU nations, France decided to use a complex voting system, under which only the candidate who obtained 55 percent of the votes of the 28 EU states, representing at least 65 percent of its population, would win.
Georgieva got the backing of 56 percent of EU states, which represented only 57 percent of the bloc's population, falling short of one requirement.
But Dijsselbloem conceded defeat. "I congratulate Kristalina Georgieva with the outcome of today's European votes. I wish her the utmost success," he said on Twitter after the second voting round in which he had remained as the only opponent to Georgieva.
Dijsselboem, a former head of eurozone finance ministers, steered the eurozone out of the debt crisis, orchestrating with the IMF the bailout of Greek, Cypriot and Spanish banks.
But he was opposed by high-debt EU countries for the austerity measures attached to the rescues.
After the first round of voting earlier on Friday, Finland's central bank Gov. Olli Rehn and Spanish Economy Minister Nadia Calvino withdrew from the race. Mario Centeno had pulled out on Thursday.
Britain opposed the plan to select a candidate now, saying it was "premature" and did not allow London enough time to propose one of its own as the country has just formed a new government, according to a confidential note seen by Reuters.

I don't know if this is true, but media reports that on Saturday October 15, 2016 Hillary Clinton and John Podesta met with Jamie Dimon at The Chappaqua Compound outside of New York City.
Within 12 hours of the Hillary Clinton-John Podesta-Jamie Dimon meeting, the bank of International Settlements registered the transfer of $1.8 billion from the Clinton Foundation to the Qatar central bank.
Sounds suspicious. Why would Hillary transfer $1.8 billion out of the country?

Irish central bank Says Country Needs More Migrants to Keep Wages Down
1 Aug 2019
The central bank of Ireland believes that not enough migrants are arriving to have a "wage-dampening effect", and that "if wages are not downwardly flexible" it could become a "concern".
The Irish central bank, roughly equivalent to the bank of England in the United Kingdom or the Federal Reserve in the United States but less independent insofar as it is subject to the European System of central banks, under the broad purview of the European central bank (ECB), insisted that the country is "is likely to require significant inflows of workers from abroad over the coming years, provided the economy remains on a favourable growth trajectory".
Reports published by the bank recall that mass immigration "was a major feature of the Irish labour market during the period from 2004 to 2007" - before the financial crash - but that while net migration "increased to 34,000 in 2018, the third consecutive year of strong gains", the inflow now skews towards more highly-skilled migrants, allowing wages to rise.
"As the supply of labour is scarce relative to demand, workers' bargaining power increases and the price of labour increases," the report notes, claiming that that "sustained increases in net inward migration will be needed in the coming years to ensure that growth will be not impeded by labour supply constraints."
Not enough migrants arriving to keep pay down - central bank https://t.co/1AwgTqV4jh pic.twitter.com/6CyXfTgJMC
- Independent Business (@IndoBusiness) July 30, 2019
The bank's reports do acknowledge that mass immigration does tend to increase "both rents and prices" and that "increased numbers of migrants will create overheating pressure in other areas of the economy, and particularly in the already congested housing market" - but appears indicate that policymakers should ultimately come down on the side of employers who insist they must retain access to large pools of foreign labour, in the name of sustaining "growth".
The report suggests that the bank's preferred way to alleviate the inevitable pressure on housing would be to simply build more of it, as "continued focus on addressing housing supply shortages can help ensure that Ireland remains an attractive location for the migrants who will be needed to fill vacancies in the labour market".
The impact on the Irish countryside, congestion, social cohesion and so of this sort of exponential expansion of the foreign-origin population and housing stock appeared to receive little consideration.

Q Research General #9337: Placeholder Population Start August 2019 Edition
US Market Report
Was a great day going until the Chinese Tariffs were announced. This is POTUS playing hard-ball as he knows the Chinese are trying to wait him out
and think they can upset him in the 2020 election. The longer they wait the worse of a deal they will get as the screws will get tighter and tighter.
The answer, regarding who took this action with the announcement comes from CNBC's Eamon Javers, who tweets that far from unilateral, Trump's tweet came
"in the wake of an 11:30 meeting this morning at which President Trump got a report from Treasury Secretary Mnuchin and Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer on their meetings in Shanghai this week."
So time to put the adults in charge as these two had three days to do something and when that lack of progress was rpeoted to POTUS guess what?
Nevermind the Chinese markets are full-on retarded with printed yuan. If you think ours are bad they grew too far, too fast
and will only pay moar of a price the longer the extend these negotiations. pepe warned ya it would get bumpy as this is the consequence of high-stakes chess.
POTUS said in a series of tweets that the U.S. would slap 10% tariffs on $300 billion of Chinese goods starting Sept. 1.
It also affected the retail sector dramatically, The SPDR S&P Retail ETF plunged more than 3%, on pace for the worst day since May. Best Buy, Office Depot and Abercrombie & Fitch all tanked about 10% following the news.
Department stores are also under pressure following the tariffs announcement. Macy's and Nordstrom both dropped about 7% while Kohl's tanked more than 8%.
U.S. Chamber of Commerce said in a statement on Thursday the new tariffs "will only inflict greater pain on American businesses, farmers, workers and consumers, and undermine an otherwise strong U.S. economy."
Really Nigga's????, haven't you done enough damage with your globalist pandering bullshit?-FUCK OFF!!
The move immediately rippled across financial markets, sending stocks DJIA, down more than 200 points and causing the yield on the 10-year Treasury TMUBMUSD10Y, -6.34% to slump to its lowest level since November 2016-See Cap#3-BIG PAIN here.
This is impacting the short-end moar than the long end as 2 yr notes are down almost 8% and 30 yr notes are just under -4% for the day.
Not helping this is the ISM numbers, just moar fuel to the fire, The Institute for Supply Management's manufacturing gauge for July came in at 51.2%, the lowest since August 2016, below analysts' expectations for 51.9%.
Any number above 50% represents an expansion of economic activity, but the factory indicator has fallen sharply in the past few months.
In other economic data, construction spending in the U.S. fell 1.3% in June.
Expectations for the Fed to cut rates by 25 basis points at the September meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee climbed to 70.4%, from 48.6% a day ago, CME Group data show-See Cap#4
This is going to get moved around just like it did prior to last week settling down in front of the FOMC meeting. Each time a news item comes out it will move.
Already covered in morning report but bears repeating is the BOE doing nothing: The bank of England left the policy rate unchanged at 0.75%, but cut its economic growth forecast for 2019 to 1.3% from 1.5%.
The U.K. central bank noted the impact of Brexit-related uncertainty on business investment, adding that the economy had a one in three chance of falling into a recession.
The 10-year U.K. government bond yield TMBMKGB-10Y, -2.63% fell 3 basis points to 0.589%.

Irish central bank Says Country Needs More Migrants to Keep Wages Down
The central bank of Ireland believes that not enough migrants are arriving to have a "wage-dampening effect", and that "if wages are not downwardly flexible" it could become a "concern".
The Irish central bank, roughly equivalent to the bank of England in the United Kingdom or the Federal Reserve in the United States but less independent insofar as it is subject to the European System of central banks, under the broad purview of the European central bank (ECB), insisted that the country is "is likely to require significant inflows of workers from abroad over the coming years, provided the economy remains on a favourable growth trajectory".
Reports published by the bank recall that mass immigration "was a major feature of the Irish labour market during the period from 2004 to 2007" - before the financial crash - but that while net migration "increased to 34,000 in 2018, the third consecutive year of strong gains", the inflow now skews towards more highly-skilled migrants, allowing wages to rise.
"As the supply of labour is scarce relative to demand, workers' bargaining power increases and the price of labour increases," the report notes, claiming that that "sustained increases in net inward migration will be needed in the coming years to ensure that growth will be not impeded by labour supply constraints."

EU members at odds over IMF chief to replace Lagarde
EU members have yet to reach a consensus on a candidate to replace Christine Lagarde as head of the International Monetary Fund, missing a July deadline they set themselves to fill the job, the French finance ministry said Thursday.
"At this stage, although some candidates' names gather more support than others, there is not yet a full consensus around one name," the ministry, which is spearheading efforts to find a replacement for France's Lagarde, told reporters in a message.
The post of IMF managing director goes to a European by convention while an American heads the World bank.
The post became vacant after Lagarde was tapped by EU leaders to head the European central bank.
Several names, including Spain's Finance Minister Nadia Calvino and former Dutch finance minister Jeroen Dijsselbloem and bank of England governor Mark Carney, have been floated as possible successors.

Some headlines
Fannie Mae net income falls, seen paying $3.4 billion to U.S. Treasury
Fannie Mae's net income fell in the second quarter from a year-ago due to losses on its derivatives, while it is expected to pay $3.4 billion in dividends to the U.S. Treasury, the No. 1 U.S. mortgage financing agency said on Thursday.
The agency posted net income of $3.452 billion, compared with $4.457 billion a year ago.
Fannie Mae recorded a loss of $754 million on the fair value of its derivatives, compared with a $229 million gain in the same quarter of 2018.
The Washington-based company attributed the drop in derivative values on falling interest rates.
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-fanniemae-results/fannie-mae-net-income-falls-seen-paying-3-4-billion-to-u-s-treasury-idUSKCN1UR4OT
what this tells pepe is that they have an ASS-ton of interest rate swap derivatives that are not performing due to already mentioned fall in rats. This will only get worse as they all expected rates to rise over time.
Search for new IMF head widens to include British candidate
European governments widened their search for a new head of the International Monetary Fund, extending a deadline to 1800 GMT on Thursday so that Britain can put forward a candidate.
EU finance ministers, having failed to reach a consensus, will also hold a series of votes from Friday morning to choose their favorite of six candidates, a French finance ministry official and two other European sources said.
The five declared candidates are: Jeroen Dijsselbloem, the Dutch former head of euro zone finance ministers; Nadia Calvino, the Spanish economy minister; Olli Rehn, the Finnish central bank governor; Mario Centeno, the Portuguese chairman of euro zone finance ministers; and Bulgaria's World bank chief executive Kristalina Georgieva.
An as yet unnamed British candidate - who is not expected to be bank of England governor Mark Carney - will join them.

ADM profit plunges as floods, U.S.-China trade war batter grain handler
Global grain trader and food processor Archer Daniels Midland Co on Thursday reported a 41.3% drop in second-quarter adjusted profit and missed Wall Street expectations, after being battered by the U.S.-China trade war and severe U.S. weather this spring that disrupted production and transportation.
The Chicago-based company's performance so far this year represents a sharp reversal of fortunes from last year, when ADM's profits surged after a drought in Argentina and the U.S.-China trade dispute boosted its trading and oilseed processing businesses.

Sorry, you're not getting $125 from the Equifax settlement, FTC says
Payout pool is too full, so FTC urges consumers to get free credit monitoring instead.
Remember that $125 you could have gotten from the Equifax Inc. data-breach settlement? Yeah, never mind.
The Federal Trade Commission announced Wednesday that, due to an overwhelming response, cash payments aren't going to be anywhere near $125 each, and urged consumers to sign up for the free credit monitoring offered as an alternative.
About 147 million people were affected by the 2017 Equifax EFX, +0.71% breach, but only $31 million was set aside for payments as part of the $700 million settlement, announced last week.
A quick bit of math shows that for everyone to have gotten $125 from that pot, there would have to be only 248,000 claimants.
While the FTC didn't give a number, they said there were already "an enormous number of claims filed."

>FED Announces 0.25% Rate Cut
CNBC - FED CUTS RATE BY A QUARTER POINT
KEY POINTS
The policymaking Federal Open Market Committee drops the target range for its overnight lending rate to 2% to 2.25%, or 25 basis points from the previous level.
The Fed cites "implications of global developments for the economic outlook as well as muted inflation pressures" in its first rate cut since December 2008.
The Fed also leaves the door open to future cuts, saying it will "act as appropriate to sustain the expansion."
The central bank also ends its balance sheet reduction two months earlier than planned.

Chief Economist Loses It After Historic Rate Cut, Slams Fed In Epic Rant
'dey mad
The following epic rant from MUFG chief economist Chris Rupkey hardly needs any commentary, as it is about as close to a perfect reaction to the idiocy unleashed by the Poiwell Fed as can get.
Congratulations to all of you down in Washington who have lowered the boom on interest rates today. We guess you must be feeling pretty proud of yourselves. US central bank policymakers have learned nothing from the experience of low interest rates in Japan or Europe. The economies of Japan and Europe aren't going up like a rocket ship and it is doubtful economic growth will see any greater liftoff here in the good old USA.
Go ahead and eliminate interest rates. Wall Street is already eliminating thousands of jobs in sales and trading and more rate cuts mean reduced margins and less volatility and thousands more will be told to go. Hedge interest rate risk. What interest rates?
Countries with low rates have economies with low growth. The Fed's decision today is like in the days when doctors bled their patients to heal them. Fed officials made a very unwise decision today and buckled to the president's demands by manufacturing reasons to cut interest rates despite a strong economy with no recession signs apparent anywhere out on the horizon.
The stock market may be partying today, but it will wake up with a huge hangover tomorrow as the Fed alters the way the country saves and spends and borrows and invests forever. I think they are probably proud of themselves, but they should really be more ashamed.
The Federal Reserve threw away their independence today and with each future rate cut they will gradually eliminate their relevance to the economy forever.

US Seizes $2.1 Billion ISIS Gold, No Bitcoin
March 2, 2019 / Bitcoin, Commodities, Crypto, News
Under cover of darkness, 50 tons of gold worth some $2.1 billion was lifted by US helicopters from the al-Baghouz area in Syria's Deir Ezzor according to state run news agency Sana.
The gold was transported to the U.S. military base in Kobani and then left for the United States with a portion of it given to the Kurdish led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) which have been fighting ISIS.
Sana claims a deal was struck which spared hundreds of ISIS field leaders and experts in return for the gold, citing unnamed local sources.
Voice of America (VoA) previously reported that "the U.K.-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), told VOA that it had confirmation from the ground that IS was holding 40 tons of gold bars in Syria."
"This gold was stolen from the central bank of Mosul, from the economy in Syria that was under the control of IS, and from the selling of Syrian and Iraqi antiquities, like smuggled antiquities from Palmyra that were sold to smugglers and traders through Turkey," Rami Abdulrahman, head of SOHR, said.
It's unclear how many ISIS fighters were let go, with no official confirmation of this alleged deal as it stands, but SOHR previously said:
"The U.S.-led coalition forces and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) deliberately do not target the areas under the control of the ISIL terrorists and commanders in Eastern Euphrates in Deir el-Zour as they are trying to locate this treasure by forcing the ISIL militants to speak about its location after surrendering."
With the treasure now seemingly located and transported out of the country, the final assault has begun with 15,000 SDF forces moving into the northeast Syrian village of Baghouz.
An evacuation of civilians was previously underway, with 50,000 mostly women and children streaming out of Baghouz since December.
An estimated 3,000 ISIS fighters are determined to fight to death according to SDF, with the last battle now unfolding.
No Bitcoins?
Previous reports have suggested that ISIS raised funds in bitcoin with Europol stating they had asked for bitcoin and Zcash donations.
Reported crypto amounts, however, have been very small with ISIS at its height making most of its revenue from clandestine oil sales or looting of newly occupied areas.
The stupendous hotness of the region would have made crypto mining very difficult, with any bitcoin coming from sparse donations due to the public nature of the blockchain.
There are suggestions some of these donations may have been used to buy hosting for ISIS affiliated websites, but most of their funds were clearly held in gold or in cash.
That gold has now been seized with it unclear whether US is to hold it or return it to Mosul. Just as it is unclear how the peace can now be won if the war is indeed over.

US Market Report
The three major U.S. stock indexes were in the red, pressured by consumer discretionary and technology stocks. apple earnings are due in a few minutes, they always make people wait.
Some analyst chatter out during the day: Pfizer Inc's stock dropped 6.6%, weighing the most on the healthcare index, after brokers downgraded the stock following the drugmaker's announcement on Monday that it would spin off its Upjohn unit and merge it with Mylan.
Merck & Co Inc edged higher after reporting better-than-expected second-quarter results and raising its full-year earnings forecast.
Advancing issues outnumbered declining ones on the NYSE by a 1.15-to-1 ratio; on Nasdaq, a 1.72-to-1 ratio favored advancers.
U.S. Treasury yields came off session lows on Tuesday (See Cap#3) after investors saw additional signs of strength in the U.S. economy, with healthy consumer spending and consumer confidence indicators reported.
The two-day Federal Reserve meeting also kicked off, with investors expecting at least a 25 basis point interest rate cut from the U.S. central bank.
Irish government bonds softened up amid growing questions over what a no-deal Brexit would mean for the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
What else is on investors' radar?
Most will look towards the all-important U.S. monthly jobs report at the end of the week. Muh "academics' expect about 160k jobs for friday's report.
As trade talks between the world's two biggest economies resumed in Shanghai on Tuesday, Trump warned China against trying to wait out his first term in office to finalize a deal.
Commerce Department data showed U.S. consumer spending and prices rose moderately in June, pointing to slower economic growth and bolstering the case for monetary easing.
The Conference Board's indicator of consumer confidence for July jumped to 135.7 from a previous 124.3 in June-remember much of this is credit so take it with a grain of salt, it's a survey too.
The BOJ declined to lower rates, however they don't have much room either way so not a surprise. The usual rhetoric about "waiting to see etc".
Seeing how they own over 50% of the ETF and equity markets they are trapped to say the least. Thanks Kuroda and Aso you spergs!!
The CME Fed Watch Futures are at this level now: 78.1% for .25bps cut and 21.9% for larger. This has been steady for about 10 days now +/- a few points either way.
https://www.cmegroup.com/trading/interest-rates/countdown-to-fomc.html/
Now on to Commodity's, Silver kicking some paper ASS today and looks realy good here. The expected dumps have not materialzed as they have in the past. Save a small attempt yesterday morning that
was quickly bought and it had a v-bottom and marched upwards from taht bottom. A good sign that traders (it's still paper so keep taht in mind) have less of an itchy trigger finger on this. In the past
any sign of weakness was sold INSTANTLY and that beget moar selling-feedback loop that the COMEX idiots counted on. That seems to be gone for now. See comments in Cap#4
Oil is covered in part two today with a good article discussing the reality of over-supply and why prices should have dropped. They will as soon as this speculators get reigned in.
When that habbens is anyone's guess. Here is where to see the Open interest for COMEX silver: https://ycharts.com/indicators/comex_silver_futures_open_interest
Thye also have link for another metric called the COT or Committment of Traders report however it is a useless one as in the past it has portrayed many millions of OZ's being moved yet no one has ever been able to see
any evidence of this. you'd think a picture would have been snapped by now. This goes back t JPM getting a vault on a fast-track application process. This report is and has always been garbage yet it exists.

This is the result of muh silver legacy short position being handed off the them by allowing Bear Stearns to implode. The good assets, whatever they had, were then carved up and the bad ones were taken on by the FRB in the Maiden Lane transactions.
These were set up specifically to deal with Bear Stearns, AIG and it's CDS (Credit Default Swap-i.e taking out an insurane policy on your neighbors house and setting in on fire) 'issues'.

Saudi Arabia deposits $250 million into central bank of Sudan
Saudi Arabia has deposited $250 million into the central bank of Sudan to support its financial position, the Saudi Finance Ministry said in a statement on Tuesday, reports Reuters.
The financial grant is part of a package with the United Arab Emirates worth $500 million announced in April. Both countries pledged an overall $3 billion in aid, with the rest going towards fuel, wheat, and medicine.
The grant is aimed at alleviating pressure on the Sudanese pound and achieve stability in its exchange rate, the ministry said.
In April, mass protests led the Sudanese army to topple President Omar al Bashir.
However, Sudan's economy is still haunted by Bashir's legacy - the penalties imposed for his support of militant groups and for the offensive he launched to crush rebels in the western region of Darfur.
Because Sudan is still listed by the United States as a state sponsor of terrorism and has $1.3 billion of IMF arrears, it is unable to tap the IMF and World bank for support. Sudanese banks have struggled to re-establish correspondent relationships with foreign banks.

U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday warned China against waiting out his first term in office to finalize any trade deal, saying if he wins re-election in the November 2020 U.S. presidential contest, the outcome could be no agreement or a worse one.
"The problem with them waiting … is that if & when I win, the deal that they get will be much tougher than what we are negotiating now…or no deal at all," Trump said in a post on Twitter, as the latest U.S-China trade talks began in Shanghai.

Futures were down at a decent clip and follow-on action confirms this at the open however it has made it's way back up nicely in the ensuing first hour of trading.
Gold had a slow steady rise from our close into world-wide trading later in our evening into early morning. Still nice and stable but has a small dip as it works it's way into the "meat" of our session.

pepe has followed thi smarket for many years and knows it well. Please take note of the continued GREAT pressure being applied to the nutsack of the money-changers.
Overnight the bank of Japan declined to make any changes to it's monetary policy, this could be a harbinger of what ewe see tomorrow as they cited these two factors:
*First, USD/JPY was quite consistently parked in the 108.5-109.0 range in the immediate run-up to the meeting.
*Second, the BOJ may have worried that frequent adjustments to forward guidance might give off the impression that the bank had used up all of its actual monetary policy ammunition.
well no shit sherlock but you already shot your was over the last several years. Kuroda and his band of idiots have nowhere to go either way as your two emergency meetings earlier this year shows that when the yen appreciates
you will print to contain it. Then there is this from April, it was 40% last March (2018)and it's no wonder they choose to do nothing:
BOJ NOW TOP 10 SHAREHOLDER IN 50% OF NIKKEI
Japan's central bank is quietly nationalizing its entire market. The BOJ has gone from being a Top 10 holder in 40% Japanese stocks last March, to 50% just one year later.
bank of Japan now owns a stunning 75% of all Japanese ETF
As of March 2018, the Japanese central bank had become a major shareholder in nearly 40% of all listed companies.
This, of course, in addition to the BOJ's trillions in Japanese JGB holdings, which at last check were over 100% of GDP and 43% of all outstanding.

Overstock CEO says FBI encouraged him to have a sexual relationship with Russian spy Maria Butina
The multimillionaire CEO of Overstock.com engaged in a sexual relationship with Russian spy Maria Butina with the encouragement of the FBI but did not follow their directions when they told him to rekindle it, he has claimed.
Patrick Byrne met Butina for the first time at FreedomFest, an annual libertarian convention in Las Vegas, in July 2015. He told the Washington Examiner that Butina approached him after his keynote speech, telling him she was the leader of a gun rights organization in Russia, but he "brushed her off." Butina later approached him again and said she worked for a top official at the central bank of Russia and invited him to speak there.
By his account, the 57-year-old CEO, who said he holds a low-level security clearance, reported the contact with Butina, 30, to the U.S. government. The FBI then gave him a "green light" to get to know Butina. The two began a romantic relationship, which ended in March 2016. Four months later, he said, the FBI asked him to rekindle the relationship with Butina.
"The second period, I did it because I was instructed to rekindle it. However, I decided that was not the right thing to do," Byrne said. "But I was told where the orders came from, and the orders came from high enough that I accepted the orders. I just want America to know that I didn't lay a finger on her that second time."
Byrne said this second phase with Butina lasted until March 2017, and that he was swept up in "political espionage," meeting with the FBI to discuss her.

https://www.wsj.com/articles/how-7-4-tons-of-venezuelas-gold-landed-in-africaand-vanished-11560867792
ENTEBBE, Uganda-The government of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro is selling off his country's gold reserves. Some of it has passed through a secretive operation in East Africa, a gambit that evades U.S. sanctions.
On two early-March flights, at least 7.4 tons of gold with a market value over $300 million moved from Venezuela to a refinery in Uganda, say officials in Venezuela and Uganda, a foreign diplomat and Venezuelan opposition lawmakers, who have concluded Mr. Maduro's government exported the ingots.
The gold arrived on a Russian charter jetliner in two shipments at the international airport in Entebbe, says Ugandan national-police spokesman Fred Enanga. The accompanying paperwork identified the ingots, some with stamped labels partially scratched off, as Venezuelan central-bank property, says a senior Ugandan police officer who saw the bars and documents. Flight records show the trips originated in Caracas, Venezuela.
The shipments expose one link in a global underground economy

The multimillionaire CEO of Overstock.com engaged in a sexual relationship with Russian spy Maria Butina with the encouragement of the FBI but did not follow their directions when they told him to rekindle it, he has claimed.
Ironically, The DOJ had alleged Butina offered sex in exchange for influence in DC but now the FBI is being accused of the same charges.
Patrick Byrne met Butina for the first time at FreedomFest, an annual libertarian convention in Las Vegas, in July 2015.
"The second period, I did it because I was instructed to rekindle it. However, I decided that was not the right thing to do," Byrne said. "But I was told where the orders came from, and the orders came from high enough that I accepted the orders."
He told the Washington Examiner that Butina approached him after his keynote speech, telling him she was the leader of a gun rights organization in Russia, but he "brushed her off." Butina later approached him again and said she worked for a top official at the central bank of Russia and invited him to speak there.

The FBI then gave him a "green light" to get to know Butina. The two began a romantic relationship, which ended in March 2016. Four months later, he said, the FBI asked him to rekindle the relationship with Butina.
The revelation of Butina's relationship with Byrne marks another twist in the case in which Butina was portrayed as using sex to infiltrate political groups, including the National Rifle Association. Prosecutors later walked back that assertion, which Butina's lawyer slammed as sexist. READ MORE:

Guggenheim Expects Stocks to Crash 50% In The Next Recession
One could get whiplash listening to Guggenheim's Scott Minerd's rapidly changing opinions these days.
Back on May 29, the weightlifting CIO of the $265 billion asset manager, made a gloomy forecast on CNBC, predicting that the stock market sell-off is likely far from over, and said stocks would go "somewhere below the lows in December." Near term, he saw an "immediate move" down to around 2,730 on the before it drops further. Oh, and he also said the next move by the Fed will be a rate hike.
Oops.
Not even two months later, everything miraculously changed, and on July 15, again on CNBC, Minerd changed his tune by 180 degrees, and no longer seeing any crash, said that he now thinks the S&P 500 could rise 15% and approach 3,500 before the end of year, comparing the current market environment to a 1998 rally amid interest rate cuts.
"This rally - whether you're looking at bonds, you're looking at stocks, high yield, pick whatever you want - is all being driven by liquidity. And the central banks around the world have basically signaled that they are going to step on the accelerator," Minerd said adding that the Fed has "kind of hit the panic button" and that "you're going to see the money flow out of the central banks into bonds, which will free up capital and that will naturally find another place to migrate to and ultimately it will end up in the hands of stocks."
And so, Minerd now had all bases covered, with a soundbite to say he was right if stocks crashed, and another if they melted up by another 500 points. Actually, there was one base that needed covering: the same one that Trump has been pounding every single day, namely that if it all goes pear-shaped, it will be the Fed's fault (he is actually right about that), and today, Minerd - undaunted by his recent dismal track record in making public predictions - slammed the Fed saying that the Fed should hike interest rates, not cut them.
The consequences of the Fed's actions in the next week - the U.S. central bank is expected to cut interest rates by a quarter of a percentage point - could be with us for much longer than we think, culminating in the next recession and increasing the risk to financial stability.
In the meantime, the Fed could be delivering yet another sugar high to the economy that doesn't address underlying structural problems created by powerful demographic forces that are constraining output and depressing prices.
Like we said, this time Minerd was correct, though we wonder: why does it take all these sophisticated financial professionals a decade to realize (or admit) what we have been saying since 2009. Must have something to do with vested year-end bonus options…
In any case, just in case everyone wasn't completely confused yet, today's Minerd released yet another research report in which he tried to predict not only when the next recession would hit ("we maintain our view that the recession could begin as early as the first half of 2020, but will be watching for signs that the dovish pivot by the Federal Reserve (Fed) could extend the cycle"), but also how severe it will be.
It is here that things get ugly, because as Guggenheim notes, credit markets "are likely to be hit harder than usual in the recession. This stems from the record high ratio of corporate debt to GDP and the likelihood of a massive fallen angel wave." With that in mind, the bank notes that "when recessions hit, the magnitude of the associated bear market in stocks is driven by how high valuations were in the preceding bull market." And given that valuations reached quite elevated levels in this cycle, Guggenheim expects "a severe bear market of 40-50 percent in the next recession."
Here are some additional details, starting with Guggenheim's framework for when the next recession will hit: here, the bank notes that its Recession Probability Model rose across all horizons in the first quarter of 2019, and while near-term the recession probability remains subdued, over the next 24 months recession probability more than doubled compared to the third quarter reading. The deterioration in leading indicators, further flattening of the yield curve, and tightening of monetary policy all contributed to rising recession risks through the first quarter. And since Guggenheim expects these trends to continue and growth to weaken in 2019, it expects recession risk to rise throughout the year.

US, EU and China To Revalue Gold In New 'De Facto' Gold Standard
Last year 22 central banks, situated largely to the east of Germany, bought the largest amount of gold since 1967, the year the London Gold Pool collapsed. The gold repatriations by many European countries of the last few years are another sign that we are reaching the end of four decades of monetary calm.
This could bring about the largest monetary changes since the closing of the gold window by U.S. President Richard Nixon in 1971.
The United States wants its fiat dollar system to prevail for as long as possible. It has every interest in preventing a "rush out of dollars toward gold," as happened in the 1970s. Since then bankers have been trying to exercise control over the precious metal's price.
This war on gold has been ongoing for almost 100 years but gained traction in the 1960s with the forming of the London Gold Pool, whose members included the US, UK, Netherlands, Germany, France, Italy, Belgium, and Switzerland.
During meetings of central bank chiefs at the bank for International Settlements in 1961, the eight participating countries agreed to make available a gold pool worth $270 million. This was focused on preventing the gold price from rising above $35 per troy ounce, as set during Bretton Woods, by selling official gold holdings from the central banks' gold vaults.
However, in March 1968 the pool was disbanded because France would no longer co-operate. This signalled the start of a 13-year "bull market" and sent gold to more than $800 per troy ounce in 1980.
Today Washington may consider it useful to bring back gold to support the dollar. Some U.S. insiders have even been calling openly for a return to the old way of doing things. Neo-conservative Robert Zoellick, the former president of the World bank, wrote an open letter to the Financial Times in 2010 entitled "Bring Back the Gold Standard."
A 2012 study by the Chatham House gold task force suggested that the metal could be added to the International Monetary Fund's special drawing right. One of the members of this task force was Lord Meghnad Desai, chair of the OMFIF advisers council. During a conference in Dubai he remarked, "We could ask that gold be nominated as part of the Special Drawing Right. That is one thing I think is quite likely to happen. This will be easier if China increases its official gold holdings."
Beijing wants to increase its gold reserves in the shortest time possible to at least 8,000 tonnes. This would put China on par, in terms of its gold-to-GDP ratio, with the U.S. and European Union. It would open the way, should the need arise, for a possible joint US-EU-China gold revaluation to support the financial system.

Trump Slams Fed: "QT Was A Big Mistake" And "A Small Rate Cut Isn't Enough"
Update: President Trump simply won't back down from bashing the Fed on Monday. In a series of two tweets sent just before the open, Trump alleged that the central bank "raised way too early and way too much" and that their "quantitative tightening" was "another big mistake."
And while the US is "doing very well" in terms of wealth creation, we could have done much better if the Fed hadn't rushed to keep hiking rates.
Unfortunately, slashing rates by 25 bp simply isn't enough. "The Fed has made all of the wrong moves…a small rate cut isn't enough, but we will win anyway!"
The Fed "raised" way too early and way too much. Their quantitative tightening was another big mistake. While our Country is doing very well, the potential wealth creation that was missed, especially when measured against our debt, is staggering. We are competing with other…..

….countries that know how to play the game against the U.S. That's actually why the E.U. was formed….and for China, until now, the U.S. has been "easy pickens." The Fed has made all of the wrong moves. A small rate cut is not enough, but we will win anyway!
- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 29, 2019
But will the Fed listen? Markets are increasingly doubting the prospects for a 50 bp cut on Wednesday.
* * *
With one day left until the FOMC begins its two-day monetary policy meeting - said to be the most important policy meeting since the days that immediately followed the financial crisis - President Trump once again slammed the Fed in a tweet, echoing a criticism that he has repeatedly used over the past few weeks.

North Korea economy shrinks most since 1990s famine: Seoul
Trade lowest in a decade as sanctions bite
n a move analysts attribute to a shortage of foreign exchange, North Korean State Security spooks have been ordered to provide US$500 each to a "loyalty fund," the Seoul-based news organization Daily NK reported this month.
Another report says that two uniformed North Korean border patrol guards were arrested this month after crossing into China and stealing food from a house there. International sanctions have interfered with border guards' customary income of bribes from smugglers and defectors, Daily NK quoted a source as explaining, and low-ranking guards "are finding life more difficult than their superiors."
And now, besides such anecdotal evidence that hard times have struck some officials, new figures suggest overall tight economic conditions in North Korea.
The country's sanctions-hit economy shrank in 2018 by its largest margin since the country's devastating famine in the 1990s, the South's central bank said at the weekend. Another South Korean governmental watchdog organization reported that North Korea's total trade for 2018 was the lowest in a decade.

By Not Renewing The CBGA, central banks In Europe Are Ready To Buy Gold
Last month, a BullionStar article titled "The Fifth Wave: A new central bank Gold Agreement?" brought your attention to the fact that the fourth and current round of the central bank Gold Agreement (CBGA) run by a cartel of heavyweight central banks in Europe was about to expire, and that these gold agreements, which have been running in rolling five year periods since September 1999, were not designed for the purposes they claimed to be.
That CBGA1 and CBGA2 from 1999 - 2008, were not intended to help the wider gold market by limiting central bank gold sales, but were really a cover by the central bank syndicate members to account for nearly 4000 tonnes of gold that had already been sold or leased in the 1990s. That CBGA3 was then used to distract the gold market about the secretive 'gold sales' that the IMF claimed to have undertaken in 2010, which were really another book squaring exercise for disposed IMF gold.
The heavyweight signatories to the central bank gold agreements (CBGAs) include Eurozone member banks such as the Bundesbank, the Banque de France, Banca Italia, De Nederlandsche bank, National bank of Belgium, the European central bank (ECB) itself, as well as the non-Eurozone Swedish Riksbank and the Swiss National bank. In its composition, the consortium replicates the nexus of the 1960s London Gold Pool (Switzerland, Germany, France, Italy, Netherlands, Belgium) and the nexus of the central banks which met at the bank of International Settlements (BIS) in 1979 and the early 1980s to plan a secretive new 1980s gold pool.
Last month's article also pointed to the fact that this syndicate of European central banks had also been absent as buyers of monetary gold over the 1999 - 2019 period, when all around them central banks of nations such as Russia, China, India, Turkey, and Kazakhstan were busily doing the opposite and boosting their strategic monetary gold reserves.
The question then was, do these European central bank signatories to the CBGAs have an agreement among themselves not to buy any gold, that is contained in, for example, a non-public annex to the Agreement? If so:
"It would not be the first time that G10 and Switzerland central banks agreed among themselves not to purchase gold. They did so in the mid 1970s when in conjunction with the IMF, when "the countries in the Group of Ten and Switzerland also agreed that there be no action to peg the price of gold, and that the total stock of gold in the hands of the Fund and the monetary authorities of the Group of Ten and Switzerland would not be increased."

Q Research General #9246: [Corney] Edition
Buy Gold?FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) - The European central bank says it and 21 national central banks in Europe are letting an agreement regulating gold sales expire, saying the deal struck two decades ago to stabilize the market for the precious metal is no longer needed.
The ECB said Friday that the fourth central bank Gold Agreement would not be renewed when it expires Sept. 26.
The first such agreement was signed in 1999 amid concerns about the impact of uncoordinated sales by central banks from reserves mostly concentrated in rich European and North American countries as a legacy of the days when currencies were pegged to gold. central banks agreed to coordinate transactions to keep the price from swinging excessively.
The ECB said that the central banks that are part of the agreement have not sold significant amounts of gold for nearly a decade, eliminating the need for the deal.
At the end of 2018, central banks collectively held around 33,200 tons of gold, about one fifth of the gold ever mined, according to the World Gold Council. Those holdings mean central banks have immense pricing power in markets. The first agreement, also known as the Washington Gold Agreement, was preceded by abrupt swings in the gold price.
Signed during the annual meeting of the International Monetary Fund, that first deal placed a limit on the amount of gold that signatories could collectively sell in any one year. Other major gold holders, including the U.S., Japan, Australia, the IMF and the bank for International Settlements either informally associated themselves with the agreement or said at other times they would not sell gold. Prices rose. Gold prices have increased from $287.80 per ounce at the start of 1999 to $1,146.10 per ounce on Thursday.
Sales from the group of central banks reached 500 tons in 2005 but have since fallen sharply.

World's central banks End Pact That Limited Selling Of Gold
In a surprising announcement on Friday morning, the European central bank said the 21 signatories of the 4th central bank Gold Agreement (CBGA) "no longer see the need for formal agreement" as the market has developed and matured, and as a result the signatories "decided not to renew the Agreement upon its expiry in September 2019."
For readers unfamiliar, the first CBGA was signed in 1999 to coordinate planned gold sales by the various central banks. When it was introduced, the ECB notes that "the Agreement contributed to balanced conditions in the gold market by providing transparency regarding the intentions of the signatories. It was renewed three times in 2004, 2009 and 2014, gradually moving towards less stringent terms."
The fourth CBGA, which expires on 26 September 2019, was signed by the ECB, the Nationale bank van België/Banque Nationale de Belgique, the Deutsche Bundesbank, Eesti Pank, the central bank of Ireland, the bank of Greece, the Banco de España, the Banque de France, the Banca d'Italia, the central bank of Cyprus, Latvijas banka, Lietuvos bankas, the Banque centrale du Luxembourg, the central bank of Malta, De Nederlandsche bank, the Oesterreichische Nationalbank, the Banco de Portugal, banka Slovenije, Národná banka Slovenska, Suomen Pankki - Finlands bank, Sveriges Riksbank and the Swiss National bank.
The simplest reason why the agreement is no longer needed, is that whereas central banks used to sell gold in the 1990s and early 2000s, most famously the UK's sale of 401 tonnes of gold of its total 715 tonne holdings under Gordon Brown, broadly seen as one of the "worst investment decisions of all time", currently they are buying at an unprecedented pace, and in 2018, central bank gold demand was the highest in the "modern" era, or since Nixon closed the gold window in 1971.

Russia "Shocked" Over $18 Billion Iran Payment To Obama After Failed US-Backed Saudi Coup
By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers
Reports circulating in the Kremlin today are stating that President Medvedev expressed "shock" to President Obama during an emergency phone conference over the United States backing of a coup to overthrow the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Even more shocking, these reports continue, was when Medvedev pressed Obama on why Iran had "suddenly" transferred over $18 Billion to the American President's "personal account", Obama was said to have replied, "You'll find out soon enough".
In Saudi Arabia, meanwhile, the situation remains tense over the aborted coup-attempt, and as we can read as reported by Iran's National News Service:
"Saudi Prince Bandar bin Sultan[photo 2nd left], the kingdom's former ambassador to the United States, is reportedly under house arrest over a conspiracy against the monarch.
Saad al-Faqih, head of the opposition group Islamic Reform Movement, told Arab-language TV al-Alam that Prince Bandar has been disappeared and the media has published no word from the ex-diplomat's whereabouts since nearly three months ago.
According to al-Faqih, the prince first disappeared in Britain but he returned to the kingdom shortly afterwards.
He added that after Saudi officials discovered that he had provoked 200 agents working for the Saudi security service to stage a coup against King Abdullah, he was put under house arrest."
FSB reports contained in these files further state that the over $18 Billion in gold and US Dollars transferred to Obama's personal account in October, 2008, was the "crucial factor" in his winning the American Presidential contest as it was used to payoff the Bush-Cheney Drug Cartel who in turn allowed the "electronic" US election to swing in his, Obama's, favor.
It is interesting to note about this vast fortune that Iran's central bank is now openly questioning the transfer of the estimated $18.5 Billion ($7.5 billion in cash and 20 metric tons of gold) from their Nation to Turkey by Iranian arms dealer, Esmael Safarian-Nasab, and who, Russian Intelligence reports state, was the "facilitator" of the "arms for hostages" deal between the United States and Iran who met with former US President George Bush upon his secret arrival in the Persian Nation prior to President Ronald Reagan's election and is known as the "October Surprise".

World's central banks End Pact That Limited Selling Of Gold

The simplest reason why the agreement is no longer needed, is that whereas central banks used to sell gold in the 1990s and early 2000s, most famously the UK's sale of 401 tonnes of gold of its total 715 tonne holdings under Gordon Brown, broadly seen as one of the "worst investment decisions of all time", currently they are buying at an unprecedented pace, and in 2018, central bank gold demand was the highest in the "modern" era, or since Nixon closed the gold window in 1971.
More recent data shows that gold buying by central banks in 2019 has persisted and remains the highest in years, with no central bank buying more than Russia, which after dumping most of its US Treasury holdings in 2018, has continued to aggressively convert its foreign reserves into the precious metal.
As a result of a shift in official institutional sentiment from selling to buying, the original agreement which was designed to coordinate primarily selling intentions in order to avoid flooding the market has become an anachronism. Indeed, as the following chart from the ECB shows, there have been virtually no gold sales under the CBGA this decade.
Still, as Bloomberg's Pimm Fox notes, just because they did not sell any gold recently, does not mean they won't in the future. Fox notes that among the CBGA signatories are Banca d'Italia and Banque de France, each of which holds more than 2,400 metric tons of the precious metal and are faced with deteriorating finances. Well, as the OECD reported recently, Italy's deficit would rise to 2.5% of GDP this year while the economy shrinks 0.2%. Italy's public debt will hit a record 133.8% of GDP this year and climb to 134.8% in 2020, according to the OECD. In France, the government has reduced its GDP growth forecast for 2019 to 1.4% from 1.6% and is on course for a budget deficit higher than 3% of GDP. The country's public debt is more than 98% of GDP.
His conclusion: "when the bills come due, politicians may start looking at something that rhymes with sold."
Perhaps, but on the other hand, states such as Russia and China will be more than happy to buy up whatever gold France and Italy have to sell.
Meanwhile, following the report, gold jumped to intraday highs, but to Fox, the jump could be a short-lived move if some of the abovementioned central banks begin selling their holdings to help support cash-strapped economies.
Then again, with global bonds yields now negative across virtually all of Europe, it would take nothing short of a crisis, or the ECB losing all its credibility overnight, for Italy or France to be unable to sell bonds in the current environment. Of course, if and when bond yields soar and central banks finally lose control of the bond market, it is distinctly possible that Italy will have no choice but to sell its gold. The good news - if only for gold bugs - is that when that happens, demand for gold from every other source - will be so high thanks to the scramble out of fiat and into hard currency, that any marginal sales will hardly be noticed as the price of gold explodes just in time for the global hyperinflation episode.
In any case, keep an eye on the gold market on September 26: that when the CBGA will officially conclude

Q Research General #9218: The VooDoo That They Do Edition
Economy Slows on Drop in Exports, Inventories in Second Quarter
Economic growth has slowed in the second quarter to a 2.1 percent annual rate mostly due to a drop in exports and non-farm private inventories, according to data released on July 26 by the Bureau of Economic Analysis.
The exports largely contracted due to America's trade battle with China, where the Trump administration imposed import tariffs prompting a retaliation. Exports to the Middle Kingdom are down by more than $10 billion so far this year, compared to the same period (January-May) the year before.
The impact on China has been even larger, as the United States imported some $25 billion less from China this year.
After a build-up in inventories in the first quarter-partly stemming from the weakening exports-the second quarter drop was to be expected.
"The Trump economy is growing strong and, on the heels of 3.1 percent growth in the first quarter, is poised to continue expanding," said Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross in a July 26 release. "President Trump's ambitious agenda of deregulation, tax reform, and job creation is making the U.S. the premier place for business, and is restoring our position as an economic leader on the world stage."
President Donald Trump said in a July 26 tweet that the gross domestic product (GDP) growth was "not bad considering we have the very heavy weight of the Federal Reserve anchor wrapped around our neck."
Trump has blamed the Fed's series of interest rate increases last year for slowing the economy, saying there's "almost no inflation" and "USA is set to Zoom!" presumably under the condition that the central bank cuts the rates.
The Fed is indeed expected to do so at its end-of-July meeting, having the stock market giddy for cheaper cash.
Ross pointed to some strong numbers deeper in the GDP data, such as the 4.3 percent surge in consumer spending-"the engine of the U.S. economy." In particular, spending on goods rose at the fastest rate since the first quarter of 2006, he said.
"The Trump Administration's policies have delivered repeated wins for American workers. In July, the current economic expansion became the largest in U.S. history-a testament to the strength of President Trump's business-friendly policies."

He spoke to her shortly and "brushed her off."
The young redheaded Russian grad student then approached him again over the course of the conference and explained that she worked for the Vice Chairman of the central bank of Russia and sent by them to make contact with Byrne.
She also said "did you know you're a famous man in Russia, we watch videos about you and your relationship with Milton Freeman."
She said she was appointed to lead Russia's gun right's group by Lieutenant-General Mikhail Kalashnikov, who was a Russian general, most notably known for his AK-47 machine gun design. The designation by Kalashnikov is considered a huge honor and Byrne then had an "extensive conversation about Russian history and I understood her designation about Kalishnikov was significant.
She wanted to invite Byrne to Russia to speak at the central bank before dignitaries and shut down a major resort for three days to meet senior officials and oligarchs. He didn't accept the offer but because of his security clearance he reported it to the FBI. He then wanted to introduce Butina to meet with someone on the Counsel On Foreign Relations, which he is a member.
Communication In Disguise Of A Romantic Relationship
She told Byrne "we will communicate in disguise of a romantic relationship, I wish to make arrangements with you for this to happen." On a side note, then Donald Trump, who had recently announced his candidacy for president, was also a keynote speaker at the 2015 event. During a public question and answer, Butina asked Trump several questions during a question and answer period, as reported by numerous outlets.
Butina had to have a reason to be texting Byrne and believed that "she was being monitored and proposed that we disguise our discussions as a romantic relationship," Byrne said.
He admitted he was intrigued by Butina's intelligence and believed that she if anything could've been a great contact and possible opportunity for peace.
Low Level Security Clearance Related To Work At Council On Foreign Relations.
Byrne said he had a signed a low level security clearance early in his career and "after something like this happens, there's a number you call and I called that number and said there is something interesting, or note worthy going on."
When he contacted the FBI and then subsequently for the next few months "instead what I got was vague instructions that it would be ok to get to know her better."
He said there was very little response from the FBI after his initial contact, until Butina asked him to come meet her in New York City. He told the FBI he didn't want any vague instructions on whether to meet Butina or not because "I didn't want my security clearance to get pulled."
At that point the FBI gave him the "green light" to meet with her. He rented a hotel room with two bedrooms because he was under the impression that the romantic texts were just her way to cover for communicating with him. However, when she arrived at the hotel their intimate relationship began, he said.
Byrne said, he was told by the FBI agents at the time that they had no concern at the bureau about Butina. He decided to continue meeting with the then 26 year old Russian graduate student. Over time, Byrne and Butina developed an intimate relationship but at the same time he alleges he was continuously reporting on Butina to the FBI. He also noted he reported to the FBI his interactions more frequently with Butina starting in January, 2016. He said he told the FBI about her contacts in Russia, her eventual desire to meet with big-wigs in Republican circles and his relationship with her.
Butina's lawyer, Robert Driscoll, told this reporter that Byrne's disclosure regarding his contact with bureau agents is significant, revealing and should be investigated by the DOJ.
"Patrick Byrne is publicly saying that he was dealing with the government in regards to Maria and I would suspect that the FBI has reports or information regarding these meetings," said Driscoll, who noted that he repeatedly asked the FBI for all documentation collected on Butina, including interviews with witnesses, notes and any other form of documentation. The FBI, however, repeatedly told Driscoll that there was no exculpatory information to give.
"It would be a Brady violation," said Driscoll. "I would have to see if we have to go to court or not. I will have to go the the Office of Professional Responsibility. We've asked for the Brady material repeatedly and from the sound of it, it looks like there should be Brady material. We need an explanation to why they didn't turn any information over to us with regard to Byrne."

Danske bank Shares Worth $520 Million Sold by Foreign Investors
Foreign investors have this year dramatically reduced their share holdings in Danske bank A/S, as they digest news of its involvement in a vast money laundering scandal.
Offshore holders sold a net 3.5 billion kroner ($520 million) of Danske shares in the first six months of 2019, the biggest selloff to hit any Danish stock in the period, according to data published by Denmark's central bank on Friday. Foreigners now own 40% of the bank compared with 50% one year ago.
Danske shares have plunged about 60% since the beginning of last year, as the market learned of the bank's role in a $230 billion Estonian laundering scandal. The revelations have led to the dismissal of several of the Copenhagen-based lender's top executives and investors are bracing themselves for significant fines amid criminal investigations across Europe and in the U.S.
Whole foreigners have dumped shares in Danske, Denmark's biggest bank, they have increased their overall holdings in the country's equities. Offshore investors about $200 billion in Danish shares, which is up 16% from the beginning of the year, the central bank data showed. In total, they own 52% of Denmark's stocks.
BlackRock Inc. is among foreign investors to have offloaded Danske shares recently. In a May filing, Danske said the U.S. investment manager owned less than 5%. Meanwhile, Denmark's two largest pension funds, ATP and PFA, have both been net buyers of Danske since the laundering scandal erupted.

Part 2/2
Stocks dropped lower Thursday afternoon, retreating from records for the S&P 500 and Nasdaq, after a series of mostly disappointing earnings reports and fears that the Federal Reserve may be less aggressive than hoped for in cutting interest rates next week after the European central bank's policy decision.
This is not an unhealty thing as it has covered much ground since the start of the year. Initially the futures reacted in a very positive manner but that was most likely a knee-jerk reaction to a news release of basically nothing.
The Index's dropped from the cash open and drifitn steadily sideways. This is now creating a situation where he FRB can say "well we need to see what habbens". I really hope there is no fight next week but it is looking like one is brewing.
The bond complex got what it wanted as yields have improved-see cap#3. This speaks to Allowinig the FRB to "see what habbens" as this is what truly speaks here, the FRB is just the mouthpiece to delvier what the bond markets say.
"Never pick a fight with people who buy ink by the barrel"-Mark TWain. Only this time there will be a fight if the FRB does not do the right thing and lower rates. They also cannot afford to have Dr. Shelton on the FRB board as her positions and arguments are all irrefutable.
Treasurys and European bonds sold off after ECB President Mario Draghi failed to deliver on the dovish expectations heading into its press conference after the July central bank meeting.
Gold sold off on the NYMEX open-bang on it-just as it popped on the ECB inaction news. The continued folly of a paper exchange controlling a physical asset. Silver was better but dropped from it's recent highs but is still in it's recent range-See Cap#4

Beyond Volkswagen: BYND Shorts Crucified As Borrow Fee Hit 144%
Sadly, for those shorts hoping that the relentless squeeze higher may soon be ending we have bad news. Not only has deluge of shorts not eased, but according to the latest data, there were 5.5 million shorts, which is a record 47% of the stock float, making it one of the 10 most shorted companies in the US stock market!
And the even greater paradox is that the higher the stock rises, the more investors want to short it, resulting in a borrow fee which at last check was over 144%, more than double the next most shorted stock, Overstock, whose borrow fee is "only" 65.1%.
This means that not only does one have to be ready to suffer continued margin pain as the stock keeps rising, but anyone putting a BYND short on now has to be confident the stock will drop to 0 in less than a year to avoid a theta bleed to death.

this is the cost to acquire shares to short. They 'borrow' against long positions(they really don't-see naked shorting) and because the fundamentals of this one suck they can turn around and charge a premium to you to receive the short shares. When you 'cover' or exit position these shares are supposed to be returned.

The City of London is controlled by the bank of England, a private corporation owned by the Rothschild family after Nathan Rothschild crashed the English stock market in 1812 and took control of the bank of England.
The Queen refers to the City of London Corporation as the 'Firm' but it is known as The CROWN (not representing the Royalty of Britain). Buckingham Palace is in London but not in the City of London and the City is not part of England.
City of London directly and indirectly controls all mayors, councils, regional councils, multi-national and trans-national banks, corporations, judicial systems (through Old Bailey, Temple Bar and the Royal Courts of Justice in London), the IMF, World bank, Vatican bank (through N. M. Rothschild & Sons London Italian subsidiary Torlonia), European central bank, United States Federal Reserve (which is privately owned and secretly controlled by eight British-controlled shareholding banks), the bank for International Settlements in Switzerland (which is also British-controlled and oversees all of the Reserve banks around the world including our own) and the European Union and the United Nations Organization. The Crown controls the global financial system and runs the governments of all Commonwealth countries, and many non-Commonwealth 'Western' nations as well (like Greece). The Crown traces back to the Vatican, which is headed by the Pope (who owns American Express) In essence the City of London Corporation would become the "One World Earth Corporation" and would privately own the world.

An intriguing Ministry of Finance (MoF) report circulating in the Kremlin today says that elite Western bankers were "stunned/bewildered" a few hours ago after the bank For International Settlements (BIS) registered a $1.8 billion transfer from the Clinton Foundation (CF) to the Qatar central bank (QCB) through the "facilitation/abetment" of JP Morgan Chase & Company (JPM) - and for reasons yet to be firmly established.
According to this report, the bank for International Settlements is the world's oldest international financial organization and acts as a prime counterparty for central banks in their financial transactions; the Qatar central bank is the bank of that Gulf State nations government and their "bank of banks"; JP Morgan Chase & Company is the United States largest "megabank"; and the Clinton Foundation is an international criminal money laundering organization whose clients include the Russian mafia.

Q Research General #9187: The Next Baker is a Faggot Edition.
ECB Sets Stage For September Rate Cut; Will Examine QE, Tiering In Pursuit Of Inflation Target
As expected, the ECB did not cut rates at today's rate cut, but in a move that was widely expected, the ECB did hint that rate cuts are coming, by adding the "or lower" language, when saying that "Governing Council expects the key ECB interest rates to remain at their present or lower levels at least through the first half of 2020."
Translation: a 10bps rate cut is now assured.
But wait, there was more, with the central bank noting the "need for a highly accommodative stance of monetary policy for a prolonged period of time, as inflation rates, both realised and projected, have been persistently below levels that are in line with its aim." As a result, the Governing Council noted that it was "determined to act, in line with its commitment to symmetry in the inflation aim. It therefore stands ready to adjust all of its instruments, as appropriate, to ensure that inflation moves towards its aim in a sustained manner."
In other words, if the Fed is cutting the ECB will also be cutting, and since the Fed launched "symmetric" inflation targeting, i.e. overshooting inflation to the upside, so will the ECB (how it will get there is another matter entirely).
Finally, the ECB also hinted that QE may be coming as soon as September, noting that the Governing Council "has tasked the relevant Eurosystem Committees with examining options, including ways to reinforce its forward guidance on policy rates, mitigating measures, such as the design of a tiered system for reserve remuneration, and options for the size and composition of potential new net asset purchases."
As a reminder, earlier this week we noted an analysis from Goldman, explaining why cutting rates without tiering would be disastrous for European banks, which is why - lo and behold - Draghi (formerly of Goldman) announced just that - tiering is coming, which is good news for Europe's bank and is the reason why they have jumped on the news of even lower rates.
In short, the race to the currency bottom has arrived.
Full ECB statement below:
At today's meeting the Governing Council of the European central bank (ECB) decided that the interest rate on the main refinancing operations and the interest rates on the marginal lending facility and the deposit facility will remain unchanged at 0.00%, 0.25% and -0.40% respectively. The Governing Council expects the key ECB interest rates to remain at their present or lower levels at least through the first half of 2020, and in any case for as long as necessary to ensure the continued sustained convergence of inflation to its aim over the medium term.
The Governing Council intends to continue reinvesting, in full, the principal payments from maturing securities purchased under the asset purchase programme for an extended period of time past the date when it starts raising the key ECB interest rates, and in any case for as long as necessary to maintain favourable liquidity conditions and an ample degree of monetary accommodation.
The Governing Council also underlined the need for a highly accommodative stance of monetary policy for a prolonged period of time, as inflation rates, both realised and projected, have been persistently below levels that are in line with its aim. Accordingly, if the medium-term inflation outlook continues to fall short of its aim, the Governing Council is determined to act, in line with its commitment to symmetry in the inflation aim. It therefore stands ready to adjust all of its instruments, as appropriate, to ensure that inflation moves towards its aim in a sustained manner.
In this context, the Governing Council has tasked the relevant Eurosystem Committees with examining options, including ways to reinforce its forward guidance on policy rates, mitigating measures, such as the design of a tiered system for reserve remuneration, and options for the size and composition of potential new net asset purchases.
The President of the ECB will comment on the considerations underlying these decisions at a press conference starting at 14:30 CET today.
And now we await Draghi's press conference in just over half an hour.

Q Research General #9172: Force of Nature! Edition
Financial Media Elite Defensively Bash "Useless" Gold
At least the Financial Times now has come clean about its hostility to gold - as well as to free markets and elementary journalism.
Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee (GATA) friend Chris Kniel of Orinda, California, sent to the newspaper's chief economic columnist, Martin Wolf, the excellent summary of gold and silver market manipulation just written by gold researcher Ronan Manly.
Wolf replied derisively and dismissively: "This is a matter of absolutely no importance whatsoever. Who cares about the prices of useless metals?"
Stunned by such a counterfactual assertion, Kniel prompted Wolf to elaborate, receiving this from the FT columnist: "I mean to dismiss the whole monetary history of gold. It has no significance in the modern world. It is, as Keynes said, a barbarous relic."
Actually, Keynes' "barbarous relic" remark was made not about gold itself but about the gold standard for currencies. Keynes wasn't denying gold's use as money. But that is the least of the problems with Wolf's reply.
Who cares about the prices of useless metals? "No significance in the modern world"?
For starters, governments themselves care.
That's why central banks, against Wolf's advice, continue to hold huge inventories of gold and lately have been increasing them.
It's why central banks classify gold as a Tier 1 asset, equivalent to government-issue bonds and cash.
It's why central banks constantly trade the metal and its derivatives surreptitiously, directly and through the bank for International Settlements, usually to restrain the metal's price, recognizing that gold is a determinant of currency values, interest rates, and government bond prices.
It's why the International Monetary Fund forbids its members from formally linking their currencies to gold, lest the metal gain precedence over government-issued currencies.
Further, London is the center of the world's gold trading, the bullion banks are major employers there, and the FT is based in London, so the newspaper itself ordinarily might care.
Of course, Wolf's dismissing "the whole monetary history of gold" doesn't make that history disappear. Indeed, today Agence France-Presse distributed a report about gold's monetary history that is both fascinating and tragic, gold's history being a big part of human history.
But Manly's wasn't only about gold and silver. It was also about largely secret market rigging by government, and the Financial Times says it's in the business of reporting about markets.
So is market rigging by government of no concern to Wolf as well? Since such market rigging is now so pervasive - for years now there have really been no markets anymore, just central bank interventions - why does any reader need someone of Wolf's views of journalism?
And if Wolf's indifference to both history and market rigging really represents the Financial Times (FT), what does anyone need the newspaper for, except possibly disinformation?
For years, GATA has been supplying FT journalists with documentation of surreptitious intervention in the gold market by governments and central banks. At least twice your secretary/treasurer has delivered such documentation to FT staffers face to face in London - in 2011 to the journalist who is now chairman of the newspaper's editorial board and U.S. editor at large, Gillian Tett, and in 2017 to FT reporter Thomas Hale.

==Egypt Says IMF Approves Last Installment of $12 Billion Loan
Egypt's central bank Governor Tarek Amer said the International Monetary Fund has approved the last installment of a $12 billion loan program.
The IMF's board approved the disbursement of the $2 billion payment, and the amount will be transferred this week, Amer told Bloomberg.
IMF officials didn't immediately answer an email seeking comment. A calendar of the fund's executive board meetings shows that it's due to discuss Egypt's loan July 24.
Egypt secured the agreement in 2016 after taking measures that included devaluing its currency and slashing fuel subsidies.
The country has since attracted tens of billions of dollars into its debt market and the central bank's foreign reserves have surged to more than $44 billion.

Comey's Cyber Spy in White House Stole Classified White House Material - Is Now Working for [~~CNN]
Yesterday a report was released that corrupt and fired former FBI Director James Comey had a spy in the Trump White House. We know he stole information and shared it with Comey, the question is, did he try to frame the President as well?
As of yesterday we now know that corrupt former FBI Director James Comey had an agent inside the White House reporting back to the FBI about Trump and his aides. It's clear that Comey's spy, Anthony Ferrante, was feeding information that he stole back to Comey. That is what spies do. But what is not yet clear is whether Ferrante, who now works for CNN, attempted to frame the President as well, from within the White House.
In March 2019 CNN reported that their cyber expert Anthony Ferrante was used by Buzzfeed as an expert in the lawsuit against them by Aleksej Gubarev. Gubarev denied the allegations and Buzzfeed used Ferrante as an expert in their defense.
If corrupt Comey and his spy Ferrante tried to frame the President, it wouldn't be the first time that the Obama - Comey Deep State gang was accused of attempting to frame President Trump through a cyber crime.
We reported a month ago that the recent firings of top Italian spies were related to Obama and a plot to set up candidate and then President Trump. Obama's Deep State reportedly tried to frame President Trump by inserting Hillary emails on a related party's servers.
Italian Prime Minister Conte asked for the resignations of four top intelligence officials after his call with President Donald Trump. It was next reported that the recent removal of these top Italian intelligence ministers from their positions as top spies in the government.
The story begins in January 2017 when Computer World wrote about alleged crimes committed by Italian Giulio Occhionero:
The Tuesday arrest of Giulio Occhionero and his sister, Francesca Maria, has brought to light what appears to be the biggest, and highest-profile, hacking of institutional and corporate accounts ever reported in Italy.
The siblings have been planting the Pyramid Eye remote access Trojan on computers using a spear-phishing technique over several years, according to the arrest order.
They attacked at least 18,000 high-profile targets, including former Prime Ministers Matteo Renzi and Mario Monti, President of European central bank Mario Draghi, as well as employees and heads of various ministries including Internal Affairs, Treasury, Finance and Education.
But Giulio Occhionero claimed that he and his sister, Francesca Maria, were set up. A piece reported by Frederico Punzi, writing in The Atlantico, notes their denials and more:
Occhionero complained to the Prosecutor of the Republic of Perugia and wrote to the U.S. Congress and the FBI. In fact, there are a number of contradictions and suspicious circumstances in the case.
Occhionero claims and it's reported that:
Members of Italian intelligence were approached by Hillary Clinton, the Obama Administration, and the Deep State in order to frame Trump by PLANTING EVIDENCE on American servers to force Trump to step down from office.
In other words, members of Italian intelligence found a target in Occhionero, a Republican-sympathizer who had two servers for his company, Westland Securities, located in America. One was in Washington State, and the other in West Virginia.
The plan was for Italian Intelligence to hack into these servers, plant classified emails from Hillary's servers inside these servers on American soil, and then alert the FBI.
The FBI would then raid these locations, "discover" these e-mails, investigate, link these servers to Trump...
And then force Trump to resign.
Occhionero believes that Obama and the former leader of Italy, Matteo Renzi, worked together on this plan and he provides reports of their meetings in Italy before the 2016 election and in early 2017.

Iran Legalizes Crypto-Mining As "Official Industry"
After weeks of uncertainty, the Iranian government's Economic Commission has approved a mechanism of cryptocurrency mining in the country, according to an announcement by the Iran Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines and Agriculture on July 22.
As CoinTelegraph's Ana Alexandre reports, Governor of the central bank of Iran (CBI), Abdolnaser Hemmati said that "a mechanism to mine digital coins was approved by the government's economic commission and will later be put to discussion at a Cabinet meeting."
Initially, Iranian authorities announced that they are planning to authorize Bitcoin and cryptocurrency mining earlier in July, when the CBI governor Abdol Hemmati reportedly claimed that the Iranian government had approved some parts of an executive law that would authorize mining of cryptocurrencies in Iran.
At the time, Hemmati argued that digital currency miners in Iran should contribute to the country's economy, rather than letting mined Bitcoin escape abroad.
Also, at the Commission's latest meeting, its head Elyas Hazrati said that cryptocurrency is now recognized as official by the government, adding:

Jeffrey Epstein Chaired a $6.7 Billion Company that Documents Suggest May Have Received a Secret Federal Reserve Bailout
According to a database created by The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists containing files leaked from the law firm Appleby, Jeffrey Epstein, who is under indictment as a sex trafficker and assaulter of underage girls, was the Chairman of Liquid Funding Ltd. from November 9, 2001 to at least March 19, 2007. The offshore business had been incorporated in Bermuda on October 19, 2000 and according to the Fitch ratings firm, it had $6.7 billion in outstanding liabilities in 2006.
In a regulatory filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission in February 2003, Bear Stearns, the Wall Street investment bank that Epstein had resigned from under murky circumstances in 1981, confirmed that it was a 40 percent owner of Liquid Funding Ltd., writing as follows:
"At November 30, 2002, the Company had an approximate 40% equity interest in Liquid Funding, Ltd. ('LFL'), a AAA-rated special purpose vehicle established to participate in the repurchase agreement and total return swap markets. A subsidiary of the Company acts as investment manager..."
The subsidiary that acted as investment manager for Liquid Funding Ltd. was Bear Stearns bank Plc in Dublin, Ireland, which functioned outside of U.S. regulatory authority and was a wholly owned subsidiary of Bear Stearns Ireland Limited, which was wholly owned by the U.S.-regulated Bear Stearns Companies Inc.. The U.S.-based Bear Stearns was one of the myriad Wall Street banks that imploded during the financial crisis of 2008 and received both publicly-announced and secret bailouts from the Federal Reserve, the central bank of the United States, via its Wall Street compromised regional bank, the Federal Reserve bank of New York.
Just who it was that owned the remaining 60 percent of Liquid Funding Ltd. is unknown at this time, but if the off-balance sheet structure follows the typical pattern, a number of those listed in the leaked documents as serving as a director or officer, including Epstein, are likely to have invested funds.
According to an October 24, 2006 announcement from the ratings agency, Fitch, Liquid Funding Ltd. was a Structured Investment Vehicle (SIV) - the same structure that played a major role in blowing up another major Wall Street bank, Citigroup, during the financial tsunami that cratered Wall Street in 2008. (See Law Firm that Silenced Harvey Weinstein Accusers also Involved in SIVs that Tanked Citigroup.)

Prospective POTUS Fed nominee Judy Shelton calls for a deeper rate cut later this month
"Even a 50-basis point reduction would still keep the Fed funds rate well above zero," Shelton tells The Washington Post in an email.
"I would have voted for a 50-basis point cut at the June meeting," she adds.
Traders are pricing in a rate cut of 25 basis points, but Shelton argues that weaker overseas economic growth and lower central bank rates around the world justify the Fed cutting by 50 basis points.
President Donald Trump's prospective nominee to the Federal Reserve, Judy Shelton, is calling for the Fed to lower interest rates by 50 basis points at its upcoming meeting on monetary policy.
"Even a 50-basis point reduction would still keep the Fed funds rate well above zero," Shelton told The Washington Post in an email. "I would have voted for a 50-basis point cut at the June meeting," she added.
The Fed is scheduled to meet on July 30-31, at which point the central bank is expected to lower rates. Market expectations for the Fed to lower interest rates by 25 basis points are at 77.5%, according to the CME Group's FedWatch tool. Expectations for a cut of 50 basis points are at 22.5%.
If the central bank lowers rates, it would do so at a time when weaker economic activity from overseas is dampening the outlook on the U.S. economy. Other central banks are also lowering or preparing to lower interest rates. These conditions, Shelton argued, are enough to justify a deeper cut in rates than the market is pricing in.
"I do think global conditions and the clear monetary paths being signaled by other central banks are a factor in considering how much our own Federal Reserve might choose to lower on July 31," Shelton told the Post.
This is not the first time Shelton has advocated for the prolonging of easy Fed monetary policy.
Earlier this month, she told CNBC's Rick Santelli that the Fed should not "pull the rug " from under the market. Shelton added that keeping the stock market strong is important to Americans and the Fed should not put the country at a disadvantage when other central banks are also keeping rates low.

POTUS Slams Fed's "Misguided" Tightening, Warns "Far More Costly" To Wait To Cut Rates
Members of the FOMC might be in their "quiet period" ahead of the July Fed meeting, where the board is expected to cut interest rates by at least 25 bp, but President Trump's attacks on the central bank continue.
In a series of tweets, Trump combines his criticisms of the central bank's "misguided" policy with accusations that other countries are manipulating their currencies and Trump warned that it would be "Far more costly" for the Fed to wait to cut interest rates should a downturn take place, than to cut now and prevent a downturn by being proactive.
With almost no inflation, our Country is needlessly being forced to pay a MUCH higher interest rate than other countries only because of a very misguided Federal Reserve. In addition, Quantitative Tightening is continuing, making it harder for our Country to compete. As good…..
- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 22, 2019
….as we have done, it could have been soooo much better. Interest rate costs should have been much lower, & GDP & our Country's wealth accumulation much higher. Such a waste of time & money. Also, very unfair that other countries manipulate their currencies and pump money in!
- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 22, 2019
It is far more costly for the Federal Reserve to cut deeper if the economy actually does, in the future, turn down! Very inexpensive, in fact productive, to move now. The Fed raised & tightened far too much & too fast. In other words, they missed it (Big!). Don't miss it again!
- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 22, 2019
In other words, Trump has basically strung together all of his prior criticisms of the Fed to remind policy makers with just over a week to go before their next policy meeting that he's expecting a cut.

Q Research General #9118: 'Dirty' Tactic Edition
China's $40 Trillion banking System Learns a Hard Lesson on Risk
China jolted markets by imposing losses on Baoshang creditors. Breaking of implicit guarantee could help reduce moral hazard.
implicit guarantee= PBOC prints to 'fix the glitch'.
Two months after China shocked investors with the first government seizure of a bank in two decades, market confidence in the nation's smaller lenders has yet to fully recover.
That may be just what the country needs.
When it took control of Baoshang bank Co. on May 24 and imposed losses on some creditors, China's government upended the long-held assumption that it would always provide banks with a 100% backstop.
The result has been a wholesale repricing of risk for all but the largest Chinese lenders, a development that analysts say was long overdue in a country rife with moral hazard. While the upheaval has underscored the fragility of some smaller banks and adds to short-term headwinds buffeting the economy, it may ultimately put China's $40 trillion banking system on a more sustainable path by forcing markets to differentiate between weak and strong lenders.
Before the takeover, funding costs for small- and mid-sized Chinese banks were remarkably similar to those of blue-chip names like Industrial & Commercial bank of China Ltd., the world's largest lender by assets.
The rationale for a lack of differentiation was simple: When times got tough, authorities would always make sure that even the smallest banks fulfilled their obligations to depositors and other creditors. That assumption kept money flowing to banks – and by extension the Chinese economy – even as critics warned that it was fueling excessive risk-taking and a dangerous buildup of bad loans.
Now – even though Baoshang has reportedly made good on almost all its obligations – a government backstop is seen as no sure thing.
The China banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission didn't respond to a fax seeking comment.
It's hard to say if this is the outcome authorities anticipated. The Baoshang takeover was complicated by the fact that the bank was part of Xiao Jianhua's Tomorrow Group, an investment conglomerate that's under investigation in China. Regulators were at one point arranging for a state-owned firm to buy a stake in Baoshang, before realizing that the lender's financial situation was more precarious than they thought, people familiar with the matter said in May.
A lack of detail in the government's early communications on the takeover gave some investors the impression that it was hastily arranged. Market participants were also left guessing about the extent of losses facing Baoshang creditors, leading some to dramatically cut their exposure to other smaller lenders.
In the interbank funding market – a critical piece of China's financial plumbing -- some strong banks began rejecting collateral from all but the most creditworthy counterparties. Repurchase volume tumbled by 43% in a week, according to data cited by JPMorgan Chase & Co.
Funding stress was also apparent in the market for negotiable certificates of deposit, where the interest-rate gap between lower-rated and AAA banks soared to the highest level since Bloomberg began compiling the data in 2015.
Authorities tried to ease concerns about a sudden pullback of government support, highlighting Baoshang's links with Tomorrow Group and portraying the case as unique. They also pumped cash into the nation's money markets to bring down borrowing costs, injecting a net 250 billion yuan ($36 billion) in a single day on May 29.
Other assistance was targeted at individual banks. To help one mid-sized lender sell bonds in June, a state-owned insurer struck a rare agreement to provide credit protection for the issuance.
As for Baoshang, officials appear to have imposed much less draconian haircuts on creditors than first feared. About 99.98% of the bank's corporate creditors received full principal and interest payments, China's central bank said in June. All of Baoshang's individual savers were made whole.
Even so, creditors aren't taking any chances. The yield gap between low- and top-rated NCDs, a key measure of the market's wariness toward smaller Chinese banks, is still more than four times wider than it was before the Baoshang seizure.

Iran Announces Gold Backed National Cryptocurrency
The Tehran News agency has reported that Iran intends to launch a gold-backed cryptocurrency. This comes less than a week after President Trump slammed virtual currencies on Twitter amid tensions between the historic foes. The New agency reported the development on its English website.
Accordingly, the central bank of Iran (CBI) has approved the issuance of new cryptocurrencies. This is according to the CEO of Iranian Information and Communication Technology (ICT) FANAP, Shahab Javanmardi.
Shahab described the measure as follows:
"Iran's cryptocurrency will be supported by gold, but its function is similar to other cryptocurrencies. The crypto asset is designed to maximize the use of Iranian frozen bank assets."
As a matter of fact, banks like Parsian bank, bank Pasargad, bank Melli Iran and bank Mellat were working with blockchain startup Kuknos Company on this as early as January. The Financial Tribune reported that the gold-backed cryptocurrency project will be called Paymon.
The Legal Status of Cryptocurrency in Iran
The Iranian government had earlier this year signaled some opposition to Bitcoin and mining in general. This is because the government decried the use of power which is a feature of cryptocurrency mining. Notably, power is subsidized in Iran and many miners took advantage of this opportunity to have large mining farms.
Mehr news reported that CBI was looking to ban private cryptocurrency and encryption services like in China. That said, the status of Bitcoin in the legal system is still quite unclear. Different government agencies have given conflicting positions in the recent past. In this regard, the conundrum of crypto regulation is as unclear in Iran as it is in most countries globally.
Accordingly, Javanmardi urged the government to retain its policy on limiting Bitcoin in Iran. This is because authorities seized 1,000 bitcoin mining machines in Yazd Province just last month. The Iranian government seems keen on ensuring that Bitcoin miners don't profit off its considerably cheap power costs.
Ironically, the American government has accused the Iranian government of actually using Bitcoin to circumvent sanctions. This is because Bitcoin is immutable and not subject to centralized control. Therefore, the Iranian government seems to have a "do as I say and not as I do" stance on Bitcoin.
The Role of Politics
Cryptocurrency in 2019 is undoubtedly becoming a political hot potato. This is because governments have realized that they cannot afford to ignore cryptocurrency. The announcement of the Libra project by Facebook, in particular, has brought unprecedented regulatory attention.
The Trump administration has been historically tough on Iran. With sanctions coming thick and fast, every avenue of commerce and politics is an avenue for battle. There is a direct correlation between the collapse of a country's currency and warming up to cryptocurrency. Venezuela has also signaled intentions to develop petroleum backed cryptocurrency to deal with similar hyperinflation issues.
Iran is similarly in the middle of currency turmoil after more sanctions from the USA. The fact that cryptocurrency is a way to escape the monopoly of SWIFT transfer in finance is lucrative. As such the country is simply taking a logical measure to cope.
Iran is not alone in exploring cryptocurrency. In fact, more than 70 percent of the world's central banks are looking at the impact of such a coin. The announcement by the central bank of Iran will certainly up the ante.

Rising Odds of Singapore(central bank) Easing May See Yields Go Up, Not Down
GDP unexpectedly shrunk last quarter, exports tumbled in June.
A rapid deterioration in Singapore's economic data has fueled speculation the central bank will ease monetary policy. The result may be higher interest rates and bond yields.
Bets the Monetary Authority of Singapore will adjust policy have intensified after government reports over the past month showed the economy unexpectedly shrank 3.4% in the second quarter and exports slumped 17.3% in June. The trade-reliant economy has suffered amid escalating tensions between the U.S. and China.
The data caused a jump in the three-month swap-offer rate, one of the nation's benchmark interest rates that reflects the cost of borrowing in Singapore dollars. The gauge rose for four days after the GDP data even as borrowing costs in the rest of the world fell. The rate had previously surged in January 2015 when the MAS eased policy, and again in April 2016 when it stopped seeking currency appreciation.
The counter-intuitive relationship between monetary policy and borrowing costs is due to how Singapore's central bank seeks to guide the economy.
Instead of using interest rates to adjust liquidity, MAS does so through adjusting the currency against an undisclosed basket.
In the absence of central bank control, interest rates are typically dependent on those overseas, particularly in the U.S. They also move based on expectations for whether the local currency is expected to strengthen or weaken.
Any weakness in inflation numbers due this week may add to easing bets. Core inflation probably slowed to 1.2% last month, which would be least since March 2017, according to a Bloomberg survey before the data is released Tuesday. The gauge has dropped from as high as 1.9% in December amid stuttering local growth and the U.S.-China trade war.
Whereas most central banks review policy eight to 12 times a year, MAS only does so twice: in April and October. Given the rapidly worsening economic environment, ING Groep NV says local policy makers may feel compelled to make an unscheduled adjustment.

"The Rich Are Building Bunkers" - Jim Rickards Warns "Nothing Is Fixed"
Best-selling financial author James Rickards says "We are still in the aftermath of the 2008 - 2009 financial crisis." In the up-coming book titled "Aftermath: Seven Secrets of Wealth Preservation in the Coming Chaos," the crisis of the Great Recession may be over, but "nothing is fixed."
Rickards explains, "I understand the economy has been expanding for 10 years, and we are not in a liquidity crisis at the moment and unemployment is low. We have come a long way from that. The fundamental problems that gave rise to that have not been solved…"
"So, unlimited guarantees, unlimited money printing and unlimited currency swaps and, yeah, they truncated the crisis, but all that happened was the bad debts, the leverage and the problems were now lifted up to the central bank level. You've got this progression. First, it is the hedge fund. Then, it's Wall Street. Now, it's the central banks. Who is going to bail out the central banks? That problem has not been solved, and it's still on the table."
Rickards says don't think the Federal Reserve is going to come in and ride to the rescue in what Rickards is predicting to be a "coming chaos." Rickards contends,
"Interest rates are 2.25%, but that is not what you need to get out of a recession. I am not predicting one, but if the U.S. economy went into a recession… history in economics says you need to cut interest rates 4% to 5% to get the U.S. out of a recession. How do you cut interest rates 4% when you are at 2.25%? You can't because there is not enough room. You get to 0% pretty quickly, and now what do you do? You are still in a recession and you go to QE4 (money printing), but how do you do that when the Fed balance sheet is at $4 trillion. You are at a boundary. You are at a confidence limit. So, the Fed is not ready for the next recession, and they can't get there."
Rickards is not seeing a recession anytime soon. In fact, he is not forecasting a recession until after the 2020 Presidential Election. What does that mean for the chances of a second Trump Presidency? Rickards says,
"If you put recession odds at 35%, and that is probably high, then the inverse of 65% is his probability of winning. . . . Every month that goes by, the odds of a recession by next summer go down. So, the odds of Trump winning go up. . . . I don't want to debate the economics of the Fed and what they are doing, but the Fed is doing what it needs to do to avoid a recession, and that improves Trump's odds. Right now, I have Trump as the winner."
After the 2020 Presidential Election, Rickards is much less optimistic and so are the wealthy elite. Rickards says,
"The rich are building bunkers. Entrepreneurs are actually buying abandoned missile siloes with armed guards and steel doors…
Here's another interesting thing, hedge fund billionaires may trade stocks, bonds and currencies all day long, but when you ask them where do you have your own money, every one of them that I have spoken to have gold, physical gold…They all have gold. They don't trade it, but they have it."

China Opens Up Financial Sector to More Foreign Investment
Policy makers are taking targeted actions to cope with risks. China's economy growing at the weakest pace since at least '92.
China opened up its financial sector to more foreign investment as the government said it will take targeted measures to cope with rising risks and challenges facing the industry.
Foreign investors can take a stake or control entities including wealth management units of commercial lenders, pension fund managers and currency brokers, the central bank said in a statement on Saturday. The measures were unveiled after a high-level meeting on Friday chaired by Vice Premier Liu He, where policy makers discussed targeted steps to counter rising risks and challenges facing the $44 trillion industry.
China, often criticized by U.S. President Donald Trump as a one-sided beneficiary of global commerce, is pressing on with its pledge to welcome more overseas competition in the financial sector. The sheer size of the industry makes it attractive as winning even single-digit market shares would offer sizable profits, but global firms need to navigate an often opaque regulatory environment and take on state-controlled rivals that drive much of China's economic activity.
Other measures announced on Saturday are:
*Overseas credit ratings companies can rate all bonds listed on the exchange and inter-bank market, and foreign institutions can be lead underwriters in the inter-bank bond market
*China will scrap foreign ownership limits of securities firms, fund firms, life insurers and futures firms in 2020 instead of 2021
*Foreign insurers can hold more than 25% stake in Chinese insurance asset management companies
*China is removing the entry restriction of 30 years of operating experience for foreign insurance companies
*China will take further steps to make it easier for foreign institutional investors to invest in the inter-bank bond market
Foreigners currently hold just 1.6% of the nation's banking assets and 5.8% of the insurance market, according to Guo Shuqing, China's chief banking regulator. Authorities have so far approved plans by UBS Group AG, Nomura Holdings Inc. and JPMorgan Chase & Co. to take majority stakes in local securities ventures. JPMorgan said last year it plans to raise its holding to 100% when rules allow.
China released figures this week showing growth in the world's second-largest economy slowed to 6.2% in the second quarter, the weakest pace since at least 1992 when the country began collecting the data.
The government will carry out a combination of short-and long-term steps that will take into account both micro and macro factors to boost demand and create new growth drivers, the State Council said in a statement on Saturday. "Complicated" international and domestic issues are posing more challenges currently and for the near future, according to the statement.
Chinese trade negotiators have yet to meet with their U.S. counterparts since President Donald Trump and President Xi Jinping agreed to a tentative truce late last month in Japan. Liu, who is leading trade talks for China, spoke with U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer over the phone this week, but slow progress has raised concerns on how the trade tensions will play out.
Policy makers will continue to implement prudent monetary policy while adopting counter-cyclical adjustments in a timely and appropriate manner to ensure reasonable and ample liquidity, according to the State Council statement. The government will also work to resolve liquidity risks of small and medium-sized financial institutions and block contagion and expansion of risks, according to the statement.

Something Just Broke In China As Repo Rate Soars To 1,000% Overnight
Ever since the unexpected failure of China's Baoshang bank in late May, which caused a freeze in the interbank market among smaller, less credible (and government backstopped) banks, and which sent rates on Negotiable Certificates of Deposit (NCDs), various bank bonds and assorted report rates sharply higher
investors have fretted that China appears on the verge of a "Lehman moment", where wholesale interbank liquidity and overnight funding markets suddenly lock up.
The reason for this, as we explained last month, is that China's short-term lending market for banks and other financial institutions has for years operated under the assumption that Beijing wouldn't allow big losses in the event of defaults or insolvencies (hence the reason why Baoshang's failure was a shock).
That confidence has been shaken by regulators' unusual public takeover of the troubled Chinese bank near Mongolia last month, and the even more stunning public admission by the central bank that "not all of Baoshang bank's liabilities would necessarily be guaranteed.
With China growing at the slowest pace in recent history, beset by shadow bank deleveraging, trade war, a shaky transition to a consumer economy and China's first ever current account deficit, these stresses come at a very bad time for the normal functioning of the local economy.
Furthermore, nonbank borrowing through bond repos and interbank loans skyrocketed since China's central bank began easing monetary policy in early 2018, hitting a net 74 trillion yuan ($10.7 trillion) in the first quarter of 2019, according to Enodo Economics, and up nearly 50% from a year earlier.
In addition to the somewhat specialized NCD market, the one place where China's creeping funding freeze has become apparent is in the repo market, which is collateralized by bonds and other securities which the market no longer accepts at face value.
This creeping "Ice Nining" of China's banking system, and its closest encounter with the proverbial "Lehman moment" yet, came overnight when, inexplicably, the four-day repo rate on China's government bonds (i.e., the cost for investors to pledge their Chinese government bond holdings for short-term funding) on the Shanghai exchange briefly spiked to 1,000% in afternoon trading!

Iran is one of only three countries left in the world whose central bank is not under Rothschild control. Before 9-11 there were reportedly seven: Afghanistan, Iraq, Sudan, Libya, Cuba, North Korea and Iran. By 2003, Afghanistan and Iraq were swallowed up by the Rothschild octopus, and by 2011 Sudan and Libya were also gone.

The force is in charge of Iran's ballistic missiles and nuclear programmes, and answers directly to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. It is estimated to have 125,000 personnel, comprised of army, navy and air units.
After the 1980s' Iran-Iraq war, the IRGC also became heavily involved in reconstruction and has expanded its economic interests to include a vast network of businesses, ranging from oil and gas projects to construction and telecommunication.

Top officials from the CIA and the Pentagon reportedly oppose the Trump administration's decision to designate the IRGC as a terrorist group
The move could also complicate U.S. foreign policy, as regional American allies such as Iraq and Lebanon maintain positive ties with Iran. Politicians and military officials in each country meet routinely with leaders of the IRGC regarding regional security issues.

Fed's Rosengren not on board for rate cut: 'I think we should wait'
*Boston Fed President Eric Rosengren told CNBC in a Friday interview that he does not see a rate cut as necessary.
*The economy "is quite strong" and is not showing signs that more central bank accommodation is needed, he said.
Boston Federal Reserve President Eric Rosengren is lining up against an apparent push to cut interest rates, telling CNBC in an interview Friday that the central bank can afford to be patient as long as the economy holds up.
Speaking just 12 days before the Fed is expected to ease monetary policy, Rosengren said he is aware of uncertainties and downside risks but doesn't think they're strong enough yet to warrant the first rate reduction since late 2008 during the financial crisis.
"So, given that the economy is quite strong, given that I do think that inflation is going to be very close to 2%, and given that the growth in the economy is satisfactory, I think that's an environment where you don't have to take a lot of action," he told CNBC's Sara Eisen during a "Closing Bell " interview.
"Now, should the economy change, if the trade situation changes dramatically, if we start getting surprised by how slow China or Europe are, then that's something we definitely should react to. But I think we should wait until we actually see the evidence that that's happening," Rosengren added.
That position seemingly puts him on the opposite side of Fed Chairman Jerome Powell as well as multiple other policymakers who appear inclined to approve at least a quarter-point cut at the July 30-31 Federal Open Market Committee meeting. Markets have completely priced in at least a 25 basis point reduction, with a 41% chance of a 50 basis point cut.
Rosengren joins Kansas City Fed President Esther George as the only two FOMC voters who have publicly stated they don't see the need for a cut, at least not yet.
Those favoring a reduction cite global weakness, the impact from tariffs, testy debt ceiling negotiations and weak inflation among their concerns. But Rosengren said that he's looking for concrete evidence of a slowdown, "and to date, I'm not seeing that."
"And you don't just worry about how the current data's coming in. You do have to think about how the data will be going forward. But I would say most of the news that we've been getting, at least over the last month, has been pretty good," he added.
'Insurance' cut could be costly
Market participants and some Fed officials, particularly St. Louis Fed President James Bullard, have cited the need for an "insurance" cut to serve as a buffer against potential weakness. Such a move also would offset the December rate increase, which has been criticized harshly by President Donald Trump, who took a few more shots against the Fed in a series of tweets Friday.
Rosengren said such an insurance move comes with costs, and might be particularly risky considering how high the stock market has soared and the surging levels of corporate debt.
"It's not costless to take out insurance," he said. "You pay a premium for the insurance. And one of the ways that you think about that cost is what you're doing to financial stability."
Approving an insurance cut would come at a time when the unemployment rate is near a 50-year low, the economy grew 3.1% in the first quarter and is projected to see a 2% gain in the second quarter, and recent data on retails sales and manufacturing, at least in the Philadelphia and New York Fed districts, was significantly better than expected.
Housing continues to be a drag, and there is concern about corporate earnings. Also, the New York Fed's recession probability indicator, which uses the spread between government bond yields as a yardstick, is indicating a 33% chance in the coming 12 months, the most elevated since the financial crisis.
However, Rosengren pointed out that the only recent times the Fed has approved an insurance cut have come to combat unusual events - the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks, the collapse of the Long Term Capital Management hedge fund in 1998 and the Black Monday stock market crash in 1987 prominent among them.

Q Research General #9084: Treason Charges Gonna Happen! Edition
Something Just Broke In China As Repo Rate Soars To 1,000% Overnight
Ever since the unexpected failure of China's Baoshang bank in late May, which caused a freeze in the interbank market among smaller, less credible (and government bankstopped) banks, and which sent rates on Negotiable Certificates of Deposit (NCDs), various bank bonds and assorted report rates sharply higher…
… investors have fretted that China appears on the verge of a "Lehman moment", where wholesale interbank liquidity and overnight funding markets suddenly lock up. The reason for this, as we explained last month, is that China's short-term lending market for banks and other financial institutions has for years operated under the assumption that Beijing wouldn't allow big losses in the event of defaults or insolvencies (hence the reason why Baoshang's failure was a shock). That confidence has been shaken by regulators' unusual public takeover of the troubled Chinese bank near Mongolia last month, and the even more stunning public admission by the central bank that "not all of Baoshang bank's liabilities would necessarily be guaranteed."
"bank failure always causes greater concern given systemic fears," said Owen Gallimore, head of credit strategy at Australia & New Zealand banking Group, suggesting greater pressure on the private sector ahead.
Naturally, with China growing at the slowest pace in recent history, beset by shadow bank deleveraging, trade war, a shaky transition to a consumer economy and China's first ever current account deficit, these stresses come at a very bad time for the normal functioning of the local economy.
Furthermore, nonbank borrowing through bond repos and interbank loans skyrocketed since China's central bank began easing monetary policy in early 2018, hitting a net 74 trillion yuan ($10.7 trillion) in the first quarter of 2019, according to Enodo Economics, and up nearly 50% from a year earlier. As the WSJ redundantly warns, "funding troubles for brokerages and other asset managers therefore pose big problems for both financial stability and the real economy."
Meanwhile, as we warned as far back as March 2017, problems would eventually migrate from the smallish market for negotiable certificates of deposit, used mostly by small banks, into the vastly greater bond repo market. Here, while key one-day and seven-day weighted average borrowing rates had remained low thanks to huge central bank cash injections - such as the 250BN yuan we described back in May - longer tenors such as the 1 month repo have marched sharply higher.

CEO Of World's Largest Asset Manager: "The ECB Will Buy Stocks"
Three weeks ago, when previewing the restart of the ECB's monetary easing in the form of even more negative rates and further QE - which just like the Fed's rate cut and subsequent ZIRP, NIRP and QE is now inevitable - Goldman laid out three potential "bundles" which Mario Draghi could unveil as one of his last pre-retirement acts, depending on just how severe the ECB perceives Europe's economic slowdown. There were as follows:
First, a "small" program which includes a 10bp deposit rate cut and corporate purchases (scaled to EUR 5bn per month for six months).
Second, Goldman constructs a "medium" package which includes a 20bp rate cut with tiering, somewhat stronger forward guidance, corporate purchases (EUR 5bn per month for nine months) and limited sovereign purchases (EUR 25bn per month for nine months).
Third, the bank considers a "large" package that contains more aggressive sovereign purchases (scaled to EUR 75bn per month for twelve months) via an increase in the issuer limit, in addition to the other elements in the medium package.
In retrospect, it appears at least one major asset class was missing.
Stocks.
To be sure, it's hardly a novel idea: back in 2016, Reuters first floated an ECB trial balloon that the central bank "may soon be forced to follow the bank of Japan's example and buy equities as part of any expanded stimulus programme," even as it faces significant hurdles in helping all 19 euro zone members equally without distorting a key market for investors.
Citing analysts, Reuters noted that Draghi, and soon Lagarde, will have to pursue alternative options to loosen policy further to lift growth and inflation across the bloc: "Analysts say these could include large-scale share buying, a policy that the BOJ has already adopted after it started purchasing equity exchange traded funds (ETFs) for its own quantitative easing scheme six years ago."
Now, none other than the head of the world's largest asset manager, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink, has chimed in on this, and in his view the Japanification of Europe is almost complete, and that the ECB - as so many have speculated - will have no choice but to buy stocks to stimulate Europe's slowing economy.
Fink, who back in April correctly predicted a broad market "melt up" - which was driven entirely by the Fed's pathetic capitulation to Trump and its suggestion that it would cut several times in the coming year - appeared on CNBC this morning to make the case that the next European QE would also include stocks.
"55% of all European debt has a negative yield. I'm going to stick my foot out again: if the ECB is really going to try to restimulate the economy in Europe, they're going to have to buy equities just like the bank of Japan has done", Fink told CNBC.
At least Fink whose business is all about higher stock prices, admits - unlike Dragh, - that this would be game over for capital markets: "Most monetarists would say that's terrible." And they woudl be right. However, at this point it is too late to change the outcome: "I believe that negative returns harm the economy" Fink concluded, and every European bank agrees with him.

NY Fed clarifies Williams speech that market took as signal of a rate cut
Already walking back the results of the speech earlier today, this is the last day the can speak openly on this subject prior to meeting in just under 13 days-someone made a few phone calls that is for certain.
cap#2 is the odds after the speech earlier today, cap#3 is current
New York Federal Reserve President John Williams was drawing from academic research when he said central bankers need to "act quickly" as economic growth slows, a representative for the central bank says.
The spokesperson says those comments were "not about potential policy actions."
When New York Federal Reserve President John Williams said central bankers need to "act quickly" as economic growth slows, a spokesperson said he was drawing from research, not hinting at what may happen at this month's Federal Open Market Committee meeting.
"This was an academic speech on 20 years of research. It was not about potential policy actions at the upcoming FOMC meeting," a spokesperson for the New York Federal Reserve told CNBC.
Earlier, Williams delivered a speech at the annual meeting of the central bank Research Association in which he said, "It's better to take preventative measures than to wait for disaster to unfold."
His comments come as Wall Street expects the U.S. central bank to cut its benchmark interest rate during the July 30-31 meeting.
After Williams' earlier remarks, market expectations for a 50 basis point rate cut leaped to about 59%, according to the CME's Fedwatch tool. Prior to his speech, predictions for a half-point cut had hovered between 20% to 30%.
Later, Fed Vice Chair Richard Clarida said on Fox Business News that cutting interest rates quickly is a good strategy. Market expectations for a half-point cut surged even higher to about 69%.
But after the New York Fed spokesperson clarified Williams comments, expectations for a 50 basis point cut fell to about 50% around 7 p.m. Eastern time.
The Fed currently pegs the overnight funds rate in a range between 2.25% and 2.5% - above zero, but still well below normal levels that have prevailed during past economic expansions.

bank of Korea Cuts Key Interest Rate as Risks to Economy Grow
The bank of Korea lowered its benchmark interest rate less than a year after last raising it, joining a growing number of global central banks acting to shore up cooling economies.
The BOK cut the seven-day repurchase rate to 1.5% from 1.75%, it said Thursday. The result was forecast by 10 of 25 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg.
Their first rate cut since 2016 reflects some urgency among BOK policy makers, who face growing pressure as the nation's export slump drags on and other central banks cut rates or signal they will soon. Some expected the BOK to wait for the Federal Reserve to act later this month before following suit.
"There just isn't any economic recovery happening yet in South Korea," An Ki-tae, an economist for NH Investment & Securities in Seoul, said before the decision was announced.
The U.S.-China trade war, China's own economic slowdown and a slump in the semiconductor sector have sent Korean exports tumbling for seven straight months. Growing tensions with Japan have further dimmed the outlook.
The BOK raised rates in November, joining its Asian peers in pushing borrowing costs higher as the Federal Reserve's rate-hike cycle pressured currencies and drew money out of the region. Eight months later, global monetary policy has shifted course as the trade war has dragged on.
Another factor in that November hike – which took the rate only a half percentage point above an all-time low – was record household debt and elevated property prices.
After the last policy meeting in late May, BOK Governor Lee Ju-yeol cited growing concerns about a prolonged trade war but said the central bank must also consider financial stability. He noted that household debt remained "very high" by any measure.
Still, there were signs a rate cut might be coming. Board member Cho Dong-chul dissented at the May meeting, saying the central bank should lower rates. Another board member said a cut was needed to address deteriorating economic conditions but should take place in July. The central bank didn't name the second person.

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell repeated his pledge to "act as appropriate" to keep the economic expansion going.
In a speech Tuesday in Paris, the central bank chief also noted the influence that foreign central bank actions have over U.S. policy.
Markets are widely expecting a Fed rate cut at the end of the month. Our /fallguy delivered remarks at just the right time too! the nice V bottom reversal on cap#2.
I bag on you JP but I'd like to shake your hand some day and say "well played"-as the bond mkt stuff with the 3yr auction tw weeks ago and now this is worthy of a hat-tip/salute-o7 to you.

If you uactually believe ANYTHING they (banks) say….GOOD LUCK TO YOU or as the morally corrupted parts of wall st say "SOLD TO YOU!!"
There are a few good people there who are just as disgusted by this as this pepe is so don't think I don't realize that.
they just could not do anything about it..just like us. Well times are different now. Just specualting but i really think people are starting
to "go with it". The system needs retail, retail only needs a mechanism to execute trading with so the mass sell-offs being predicted have not
transpired. Even though much of the data suggests much flow out of the system-something HAS to support it right?? Not long ago just a slight dip
in banking revs would have sent the entire mkt complex into a tail-spin that would have lasted for weeks.
This is the Boom/Bust cycle the FRB has counted on for decades. Certainly The banks reporting almost double-digit loss in several rev. category's
should have done it….IT DID NOT: YOU ARE WATCHING THE DESTRUCTION OF THE OLD SYSTEM! and it's beautiful to watch them eat themselves.

and if it was Powell's objective to also get everyone invested in the biggest asset bubble of all time, he is certainly making headway.
Nobody expects inflation, suggesting that as central banks are powerless to stimulate the broader economy, they will be continue to stimulate risk assets.
Indeed, only a net 1% of the responding fund managers expect higher global CPI in the next year, "the most bearish inflation outlook in seven years"

Sweden Implanting Chips in Your Right Hand to Eliminate Cash
There have been many people who fear the forecasts of the Bible's Revelations and the sign of the Beast that no one will be able to buy or sell without receiving "a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name" (Revelation 13:16-17). Now you would think that someone would be concerned about mimicking that forecast. That does not seem to stop the trend to implant chips in your right hand which is your debt/credit card on a chip about the size of a grain of rice. All you do is wave your hand and you just paid for everything.
Of course, there is a slight problem. The powers that be know who your are, where you are, and you have surrendered all privacy. Perhaps there is no stopping this trend. The governments are is such desperate need of taxation and Quantitative Easing has failed because they argue people withdrew their case from the banks. They have ended bailouts in Europe and the future head of the European central bank, Christine Lagarde, is a champion of eliminating money and believes that each country should create their own cryptocurrency and all freedom will come to an end.
This very idea of implanting chips into your hand and eliminating all physical money is a dream come true. I believe it will become one proposal on the table in 2021-2022. Our computer which show major confrontations arising into 2032 which will also involve religion, certainly seems plausible after 4,000 people have accepted chips in Sweden who think this is cool.

In the period between 2000 and 2017, the obligations of foreign debtors to China increased from less than $500 billion to more than $5 trillion-or from around one percent of global economic output to more than six percent.
The majority of debt claims were acquired in international bond markets by China's state-owned central bank.
In addition, China's government has extended increasing sums of direct loans, in particular to developing and emerging countries.
Research has shown that Chinese state banks issued around a quarter of total bank lending to emerging markets, propelling China into the leading global position as official creditor, leaving behind the IMF and World bank.

US Market Report and Headlines
There is not much today as it waffled back and forthe between positive and negative. US markets were mixed once again with Nasdaq leading and Small Caps lagging considerably (Dow and S&P flatlined).
It did close up on a nice volume surge in last few minutes. Take that as a victory as methinks this stays right around here heading into the FOMC meeting at end of the month.
Treasury announced it's cuiflines it wants to use on financial education earlier-this can be nothing but good even though it's coming from
munchkins. It's not coming from him I assure you…. Treasuy's on a whole performed poorly as they closed on yet another low of the day…tick tick "frens".
Treasury yields fell Monday as Chinese growth fell to its slowest pace since 1992, even as other data pointed to signs of stabilization in the world's second-largest economy.
Of course the retail data showed 'improvement'-that was at 30-year lows last month. The chinese GDP numbers were the big news, released last night (ours).
Lowest in 27 years…but go ahead and thnk that is 'stabilizing'. It's not and likely to get a small bump-deadcat bounce-and then resume it's overall trend down.
This plays right into POTUS' hands so the longer the chinese 'hold out' for a deal that removes muh tariff's-not gonna habben imo- the moar strength we (POTUS) has.
The PBOC also pushed 200b yuan into it's system in a medium term finacing program (MLF) and the mkts tracked higher but what do you expect?
Chinese stocks were broadly higher overnight led by a panic bid in tech-heavy ChiNext. Shorts covering too. Nothing says buy highly margined chinese tech stocks like
a record level of GDP contraction. European stocks were higher today, ramping back from early weakness.
The surge in stocks relative to small-cap performance is a bit disturbing and I do not blame the technicians for pointing this out. Been habbening all year.

Facebook's Libra could be misused, says treasury chief Mnuchin–ya think!
Facebook's planned Libra cryptocurrency faced further opposition on Monday when the US treasury secretary warned about its potential criminal use.
Steven Mnuchin told a press conference it could be used by "money launderers and terrorist financiers" and said it was a national security issue.
He was "not comfortable" about Libra, joining President Donald Trump and the US central bank in voicing concern.
Facebook executives will appear before a congressional committee on Tuesday.
David Marcus, who will oversee Libra, is expected to tell the Senate banking Committee that Facebook will not launch the currency until regulatory concerns are addressed.

Venezuela Defies Sanctions to Sell $40 Million in Gold Reserves
Venezuela sold about $40 million worth of gold last week, defying numerous U.S. sanctions that threaten to cut off Nicolas Maduro's autocratic regime, according to people with knowledge of the matter.
The central bank sold nearly one ton of gold July 12, lowering Venezuela's dollar reserves to a near three-decade low of $8.1 billion, the people said.

Developing: Obama and His Italian Friend Renzi Suspected of Spying on Trump and Using Italian State Secrecy Decree to Cover It Up
The recent firings of top Italian spies were likely related to Obama and a plot to set up candidate and President Trump in their Hillary email scandal.
Now there are suspicions that Renzi's Italians covered up their crimes by labeling them as "State Secrets" which would prevent them from being disclosed.
In May Italian Prime Minister Conteasked for the resignations of four top intelligence officials after his call with President Donald Trump.
After that it was reported that the recent removal of these top Italian intelligence ministers from their positions as top spies in the government had been uncovered.
Our story started in January 2017 when Computer World wrote about alleged crimes committed by Italian Giulio Occhionero:
The Tuesday arrest of Giulio Occhionero and his sister, Francesca Maria, has brought to light what appears to be the biggest, and highest-profile, hacking of institutional and corporate accounts ever reported in Italy.
The siblings have been planting the Pyramid Eye remote access Trojan on computers using a spear-phishing technique over several years, according to the arrest order.
They attacked at least 18,000 high-profile targets, including former Prime Ministers Matteo Renzi and Mario Monti, President of European central bank Mario Draghi, as well as employees and heads of various ministries including Internal Affairs, Treasury, Finance and Education.
But Giulio Occhionero claimed that he and his sister, Francesca Maria, were set up.
A piece reported by Frederico Punzi, writing in The Atlantico, notes their denials and more:
Occhionero complained to the Prosecutor of the Republic of Perugia and wrote to the U.S. Congress and the FBI. In fact, there are a number of contradictions and suspicious circumstances in the case.
Occhionero provided the letter that he claims he sent US Congress and the FBI:
No Title
Occhionero claims and it's reported that:
Members of Italian intelligence were approached by Hillary Clinton, the Obama Administration, and the Deep State in order to frame Trump by PLANTING EVIDENCE on American servers to force Trump to step down from office.
In other words, members of Italian intelligence found a target in Occhionero, a Republican-sympathizer who had two servers for his company, Westland Securities, located in America. One was in Washington State, and the other in West Virginia.

What designates a monopoly?
The rottenchilds own 163 (or so via Q's lists in Q posts: 135, 136, 137 and 138) of the central banks in the world's countries and regions…160+.
How many sort-of-offical countries and regions are there?
Nations Online (www.nationsonline.org) notes 195 independent sovereign nations plus about 60 dependents.
Difficult to get the actual math but since the rottenchilds own the laughingly named european central bank then all of the nations in europe need to be counted differently so even though places like Greece are noted as "sovereign" nations, since they are owned by the rottenchilds they are not and the eu control over any country foolish enough to adopt the german currency means all countries using the euro are debt slaves to essentially just one bank so europe should just be "1" and that also goes for all the "dependents" as they become debt-slaves if the rottenchilds owns whatever currency they happen to use.
So seems to me that the rottenchilds are operating an illegal monopoly and they need to be broken up and all of (((their))) banks turned public and the citizens of those countries and regions…freed! FREE THE SLAVES is not an antiquated demand.
Now all that remains is to find the political will to do something about this - and other - monopoly(ies) and that will be difficult since so many politicians are susceptible to the lure of the federal reserve note, not even having the smarts to ask for bribes to be given in physical gold but relying instead on a foreign "illegal under Section 8 of the Constitution" fiat currency to buy them and their ultimate loyalty to the rottenchilds cult instead of America (or Canada or England or any of the governments in those 160+ countries with governments as those politicians(?) are also treasonous and comp'd). Acolytes to the rottenchilds cult who are against their own countries deserve only one note on their tiny grave marker: Sic Semper Tyrannis
Virginia has the right idea…but it needs to be put into practice.

ECB Hires ex-Goldman banker And Vatican Auditor As Watchdog
As one Goldmanite departs (i.e., Mario Draghi, whose term ends on October 31) another Goldmanite arrives at the ECB.
Now that Christine Lagarde (who had her share of run-ins with the French law especially her guilty conviction in 2016 over a ?400MM payment to Bernard Tapie) has been picked to head Europe's central bank, the European central bank has hired Elizabeth McCaul, a former Goldman Sachs banker who later led an audit of the Vatican's scandal-ridden bank, as one of its top banking supervisors, the bank said last week.
She is one of three new ECB representatives on the Single Supervisory Board, which oversees the euro zone's 114 largest banks according to Reuters.
McCaul will join the ECB from Promontory Financial Group, a prominent US consultancy firm - famous Wall Street "revolving door" which sends financial execs into positions of power - which agreed to pay $15 million to New York's banking regulator in 2015 to settle accusations of whitewashing a report on Standard Chartered bank
Even more curious is that during her stint at Promontory, now owned by IBM, McCaul helped audit the Vatican's bank during a clean-up ordered by Pope Francis in 2013 and also did consultancy work for the ECB during the set-up of the Single Supervisory Mechanism. Before that, McCaul was Superintendent of banks for the State of New York, having joined that department after a decade as a banker at Goldman Sachs.
And yes - there's more - a mother of seven, McCaul is married to former Goldman Sachs partner Frank Ingrassia, who used to head the bank's municipal finance group.
She will be joined on the Single Supervisory Board by Edouard Fernandez-Bollo, who currently works for the French banking watchdog, and Kerstin af Jochnick, until Thursday the first deputy governor of the Swedish central bank.
In other words, all the people who are directly and indirectly invested in perpetuating the status quo which has failed to result in any tangible change for the past decade, will be in charge of making sure that Lagarde gets the precisely right advice - from Goldman and others - to not threaten the perpetuation of what has worked only for the ultra wealthy for the foreseeable future.

Markets not following on the futures activity on initial open (DOW was at +58, NAS +18.50) just after the economic data and shitibanks "earnings". Markets dropped slightly below the 'neckline' or friday's close and then came back off that. Triggered stop loss(s) for retards who place them in obvious places.
It's waffling around now so it's basically direction-less. Glad to see that there was not too much damage to you pepe's with the storm. Don't like seeing that at all.
BTW regarding the shitgroup eanings and all bank's really..pepe FULLY understands why they are allowed to put out those type of 'results'-you start actively questioning them in public and you have an IndyMac style bank run that Chuck Schumer casued on purpose by questioning the validity of it's strength in 2008. The dems then turned it around and blamed munchkins for doing it-he had a large benefit
as the remains of indy-"smack" were sucked up into the FRB and spit out as OneWest bank so he is not clean in it either.
Out a little almost two hours ago was Citibanks earnings-what a crock of un-adulterated bullshit. How you report a 7% rise in profit when the fixed-income market (bonds) has fallen off a cliffis….nevermind… lying sacks of shit they are. Revenues dropped, (9% YoY)-trading revs dropped for 3rd straight qtr(-5%) too. Add in the "cost-cutting" aspect of it, ala Deutsche bank at voila!-instant 'results'
They also play with loan/credit loss provisions in this way: have a huge number to start with and when it is "magically" better you then take the difference and book it as actual income. Cute eh?
JP Morgan, bank of America and Goldman drop 'reports' later in the week. If you actually believe what they I say then good for you.
Remember all these places 'passed' the FRB's stress test, including deutsche bank (they don't have issues right?).

Turkey's Erdogan Vows To "Significantly" Cut Rates As Trump Set To Roll Out Sanctions Over S-400 Purchase
Lately not a week passes without some dismal news involving Turkey hitting the tape, and yet the lira continues to levitate, blissfully ignorant of the storm clouds headed for Ankara, levitating on hopes the Fed will cut rates and sprinkle golden showers on emerging markets. However, in light of the two latest developments, the Mrs Watanabe sellers of USDTRY may finally pay attention.
On Sunday, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan - who last weekend fired the head of the central bank for not cutting rates fast enough, and who has now become the de facto head of the CBRT - promised "significantly lower interest rates by the end of the year", Bloomberg reported.
"We aim to reduce inflation to one digit by the end of this year," Erdogan told journalists in Istanbul, according to the state-run Anadolu news agency. "As we achieve this, we will achieve our year-end interest rate target as well." Of course, should interest rates drop to one digit, the USDTRY will promptly collapse to two, as the rate differential between the lira and the dollar collapses, removing the main incentive to go long the lira at a time when the Turkish economy remains in crisis.
Having founded the economic school of Erdoganomics, according to which inflation can be achieved only by lowering rates, the Turkish president and his US counterpart have quickly become kindered spirits when it comes to monetary policy. And just as Trump heaps pressure and insults on Fed Chair Powell, Erdogan has frequently accused the central bank of keeping borrowing costs too high. Last month, he complained that while the Fed was moving toward a rate cut, Turkey's policy rate of 24% "is unacceptable."
Then, the last trace of any pretense that Turkey under Erdogan will forever be a banana republic came on July 6, when Erdogan unexpectedly dismissed the former central bank head, Murat Cetinkaya and made it clear that he expects his replacement as central bank governor to follow the government's line on monetary policy. Cetinkaya had held rates steady for more than nine months.
Meanwhile, even as Trump and Erdo may be BFFs when it comes to firing head of central banks, the US president and his advisors have reportedly settled on a sanctions package to punish Turkey for receiving parts of a Russian S-400 missile defense system and plans to announce it in the coming days, Bloomberg wrote in a separate report.
News of the imminent sanctions was somewhat unexpectedly considering that when Trump and Erdogan met at the G-20 summit in Japan in June, the U.S. president suggested possible leniency on sanctions. He sought to blame the Obama administration for Turkey's decision to buy the Russian equipment, saying the impasse is "not really Erdogan's fault."
According to Bloomberg, the administration "chose one of three sets of actions devised to inflict varying degrees of pain under the Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act, the people said, without identifying which set had been chosen. The plan needs Trump's approval."
Trump is said to unveil the sanctions late next week, and - in an unexpected act of courtesy to Ankara - intends to wait until after Monday's anniversary of a 2016 coup attempt against Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to avoid fueling further speculation that the U.S. was responsible for the uprising. And while we don't know the details of the prepared sanctions, we know the following:
The plan was developed after days of discussions between officials at the State and Defense departments and the National Security Council. It awaits a sign-off by Trump and his top advisers, the people said, requesting anonymity to discuss a sensitive matter. A State Department spokeswoman declined to comment.
While not nearly as bad as that with other non-Saudi middle-eastern nations, the relationship between the U.S. and Turkey has deteriorated over the course of the civil war in Syria, where U.S. backing for Kurdish militants frustrated Turkey, which considers the group an extension of the separatists it's fighting at home. Erdogan has also criticized the US for not extraditing Gulen, whom he accuses of masterminding the fake attempted "coup" the served as the launchpad for Erdogan's transformation to an "executive president" last year, read quasi dictator.
Acting U.S. Defense Secretary Mark Esper said Friday that Washington's position that Turkey can't have both the F-35 and the Russian missile system "has not changed." Esper spoke with Defense Minister Hulusi Akar in the afternoon, and the Turkish government said in a statement that a U.S. delegation would visit next week to keep discussing the issue.

Anons:
POTUS is on record as being "not a fan" of ad-hoc cryptos, esp. FB's "Libra" scam. And rightly so - for a number of reasons that ought to be obvious to anyone with a pulse.
The faggots in Bruxels, on the other hand, have prostrated themselves before this new, strange god, as per
Augustín Carstens, the general manager for the bank for International Settlements (BIS), the so-called central bank for central banks, who told told the Financial Times that the BIS is supporting the "many" central banks currently developing or researching digital currencies. "And it might be that it is sooner than we think that there is a market and we need to be able to provide central bank digital currencies," he said. (Chain Letter from MIT Tech Review 07.05.19).
Do not dismiss the emanations from Bruxels. The BIS currrently reviews, weekly and in minute detail, the balance sheets and asset holdings of ever major business and financial institution on the planet, for the purposes of monitoring systemic financial risk. How do I know? I wrote the database application to supply that information for one of those financial institutions. "Information is power" these days, and the BIS - some bullshit entity run by euro-femme-globalists - has positioned itself to get it all in one place. It's weekly now, soon it will be real-time.
This is exactly the way discerning observers have seen the final battle going down: a Patriot POTUS squaring off against a Globalist puppet in Belgium, the prize being the financial system.
Govern yourselves accordingly.

Links between Karl Marx and Rothschild
https://newspunch.com/karl-marx-employed-rothschilds/
Historians Confirm Karl Marx Was Employed By The Rothschilds
Historians have confirmed that Karl Marx was not only related to the Rothschilds, but was also employed as their agent in order to subvert democracy and corrupt the Socialist movement.
During the Napoleonic War of the Sixth Coalition, [Marx's father] Hirschel Mordechai became a Freemason in 1813, joining their Loge L'Ètoile anséatique (The Hanseatic Star) in Osnabrück. After the war, he feigned conversion to Lutheranism as a means to better infiltrate Prussian society. He pretended to be an "assimilated" bourgeois Enlightenment liberal, interested in "free thought" and was wealthy, owning some Moselle vineyards.
(Note on Freemasonry. Freemasonry became bad when it stopped being a builders trade organization, and started admitting Jews for fuckery. In short, Freemasonry became bad because it let Jews who weren't anything like stone masons in, even shorter, if Freemasonry sucks it's because Jews suck.)
One of Marx's grandparents was Nanette Salomon Barent-Cohen, who belonged to a wealthy Amsterdam family. Her cousin had married Nathan Mayer Rothschild and bore Lionel Nathan Rothschild, "Baron" and Member of Parliament for the City of London.
The idea of Marx as a Rothschild shill...was raised as a concern by his contemporary rival in the First International, Mikhail Bakunin in 1869, who was not even aware of the fact that Marx and Rothschild were cousins. Bakunin wrote presciently:
"This world is now, at least for the most part, at the disposal of Marx on the one hand, and of Rothschild on the other. This may seem strange. What can there be in common between socialism and a leading bank? The point is that authoritarian socialism, Marxist communism, demands a strong centralisation of the state. And where there is centralization of the state, there must necessarily be a central bank, and where such a bank exists, speculating with the Labour of the people, will be found. "
-Mikhail Bakunin, Profession de foi d'un démocrate socialiste russe précédé d'une étude sur les juifs allemands, 1869.

Q Research General #8979: Shills Using Antifa Chants Edition!
The World Acquires More Gold While China Is *Dumping U.S. Treasuries
*trying to…
We are told China's economy is hurting, the "trade wars" are working and bringing China to it's knees. From where I sit nothing could be further from the truth.
Currently China holds well north of $1 TRILLION in U.S. Treasuries - debt - that you and I, the tax payers of this country, send to interest payments month after month to China for them to continue holding our debt. It's like the mortgage on your house, student loan or car note you have but instead of you getting anything for the debt payment you get to know the warmongers are going to purchase more bombs, weapons of all kinds and create more destruction. China, on the other hand, takes the payment and is building out the Belt and Road Initiative around the world. So, while we are working like slaves to pay our taxes, China is using our labor (taxes) paid to them to build a better global economic and financial system that does not include you and I. Pretty cool, aye?
While this is happening on one side of China's national ledger sheet, on the other side something completely different is happening. China reentered the gold market seven months ago, in December 2018 and has added a little less than 74 tons to their official gold holdings of approximately 1,935+ tons of gold. Please keep in mind this does not count the known 80-100 tons per annum that is flowing in from Russia. While this is not a large volume of gold in the grand scheme, this has been going on since 2016 so we are now talking about upwards of 240 - 300 additional tons. This changes their "official" gold holdings from approximately 1,935 tons to somewhere north of 2,175+. It could be as high as 2,235 or more tons of gold.
With more and more central banks continuing to add to their gold hoards did China see the pipeline tightening? China made their exit from the market in October 2016, the same month the yuan / renminbi was added to the IMF basket of currencies accounting for the SDR global trade note. Then fourteen months later decided to jump back in and have been adding to their horde ever since.
Last year, central banks bought 651.5 tons, 74% up on the previous year, the World Gold Council said in January. Official sector purchases could reach 700 tons this year, assuming the China trend continues and Russia at least matches 2018 volumes of about 275 tons, Citigroup Inc. said in April. Buying from central banks in the first five months of this year is 73% higher than a year earlier, with Turkey and Kazakhstan joining China and Russia as the four biggest buyers, according to data released on Monday by the WGC.
If 2018 saw national / central banks acquiring more than they have since 1968 and this they are outpacing last year by 73% will this be the biggest year for gold national / central bank acquisitions in history? If not history it would have to be much earlier than 1968 since that record has already been breached.
With the global economic changes that are occurring we have been calling for some type of gold trade settlement for a number of years. We believe that Russia and China are on the cusp on making this change. We have no proof this going to happen this year or next, but all the signs are pointing in that direction. We believe, especially if China continues acquiring more "official" gold on the open market, there will be a gold trade settlement note announced before 2025. Possibly much sooner if the warmongers in Washington DC continue with the war drums over Iran. If President Trump listens to the war-pigs in the Pentagon this will not faire well for the U.S. economy and gold will be much in demand at all levels - from retail to government and everything in between. We pray this does not happen.

>"it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security"
>Is anyone aware of how this is even done now?
Easy. You Rewrite the Constitution getting rid of the 16th amendment which allowed for federal tax, and you ADD an amendment prohibiting a central bank or private IRS, making States the required tax collector from any persons directly if that ever happens in the future. The stupid central bank is how the evil ones got their foot in the door.
Keep everything else, or they will turn the constitution into the Communist Manifesto.
Raid DC for the fun of it, making it clear to everyone there that the city is no longer safe to try to work in at all. Go in and set up gaming systems in the Rotunda and commence gaming playoffs to occupy seats. Go stand in every legislators office and camp out. Go take over every government agency office and camp out.
We would not even need guns.
There are enough pissed Americans to fill offices in every building to a point people who work in DC could not have their offices back.
Announce a dismissal of all Federal employees except the military. (Would we notice they were gone?)
Create a new Capitol in Texas.
Start from scratch using Tariffs and fee for service like post office and license plates are still done…. and as Federal taxes were done before WWII.
Deep state immediately crumbles for lack of illegal slush funds stolen from tax dollars.
Line the border with 2A patriots, and Crowd source THEM to shoot anyone coming across the border illegally, period. Illegals will stop coming immediately. Hell, we can give the guards three bedroom homes even on the border. Private property needs taken eminent domain with payment.
We have a coast guard.
We need border guards now.
We have a Constitutional 2A civilian militia for a reason.
If they keep ignoring the constitution with their treasonous crimes, the Constitution is gone anyway, unless we force ably resurrect it, with amendments.
For now, trust the plan. It just may work.
But if the enemies who will destroy the Constitution take the Whitehouse, game over i would think.
Once Constitution is destroyed, the seats they claim will no longer exist. We have no president, legislature, or courts. ACT THAT WAY.
Everything goes local to the states that are 50 nations who need to reinstate the Constitution.
The Constitution creates their rights to sit in the Capitol. Once it is gone, THEY will no longer have that right.
Keep the original constitution but simply add and subtract the amendments by voting for the amendments in each state. Make sure state legislators understand that they too can be like DC… run out of town, and unable to work.
Force state legislators to vote to support the Constitution with the amendments or else GTFO.
No need to shoot anyone.
Sheer bodies of pissed Americans are sufficient, especially when all this kiddie fuckery is sufficiently public.
We can not afford legislators who are comped by foreign powers into stealing children (CPS)(Non Profits) and sacrificing children (Satanists). ANY government that does that MUST be gone. It is NOT a government.
It Must GO.
Is a deadly enemy of the nations people, period.
PERIOD.
We need 2020 campaign signs in the shape of MILLSTONES…. that is what we need to warn these evil bastards of what is on the way if they do not turn back and leave the children alone.
The Biblical punishment for harming children.
Tie a millstone to their necks and dump them in the river.
We did it with TEA at the Boston Tea party, but we were throwing tea.
Just throwing satanic junk overboard now.
MILLSTONES for Trump 2020 yard signs people! Round white with a dark center, and the bible quote in small print in the dark center of every one of them.

Make people think. MAKE THEM SEE what is happening. Make the yard signs a topic of discussion.

US Prepares Response As Video Confirms Russian S-400 Delivery To Turkey
Turkey has confirmed delivery of the first round of S-400 anti-air missile systems components. The first batch reportedly arrived at an airbase near Ankara, which was caught on video.
A NATO official told CNN on Friday: "It is up to allies to decide what military equipment they buy. However, we are concerned about the potential consequences of Turkey's decision to acquire the S-400 system." Those consequences are shaking the alliance given Turkish media is already reporting a punitive response from Washington is imminent:
U.S. sources tell Ahval, there will be a response by the U.S. government with regards to the arrival of S-400 Russian defense systems in Turkey, soon.
Defense Ministry releases close-up footage of Russian S-400 missile system parts being unloaded from cargo planes upon arrival to be re-assembled in Turkeyhttps://t.co/e8swGwHwhG pic.twitter.com/xVnymoIfwK
- DAILY SABAH (@DailySabah) July 12, 2019
Russia's TASS news has indicated a second delivery will be made in the coming weeks, with a third delivery, carrying over "120 anti-aircraft missiles of various types" to be delivered "tentatively at the end of the summer, by sea."
TASS also noted that Turkish S-400 operators will receive training on the systems in Russia, following a prior training program involving 20 Turkish personnel last Spring.
The US this week again warned of "real and negative" consequences if Turkey completes the purchase of the S-400, which is now definitively a done deal with the S-400 equipment arrivals in Turkey. "Those consequences include participation in the F-35 program," a State Department spokesperson said Tuesday.
Turkey, for its part, shot back on Wednesday that the US must avoid taking the "wrong steps," with the foreign ministry saying in a statement, "We are inviting the US to avoid taking the wrong steps which would exclude diplomacy and dialogue and harm relations."
Starting months ago Turkey consistently affirmed it's "a done deal" and that there would be no cancellation, even as Washington urged "alternatives" such as US Patriot missiles.

But as of today it now appears there's no further dialogue to be had on the S-400, which early this week President Recep Tayyip Erdogan declared would be a positive development for the defense of the region "and for the world". On Wednesday Erdogan further described to reporters:
"Some people have a question about why we buy the S-400, why we make such an investment. If we have to, we will have the right to use them. If someone attacks us, we will use these air defense systems. That's why we make such an investment."
The State Department's stance is that "nothing has changed" concerning US resistance to the S-400 deal.
Concerns have been driven over fears that it would allow Russia to access sensitive information on the defenses of NATO aircraft, especially if Turkey's military is simultaneously operating the Lockheed Martin made F-35 advanced stealth fighter.
And while the Turkish Lira has been on a stronger path for much of the past month, surprising many, today it finally appeared to get a moment of realization that the US is unlikely to let this provocation without a response, and the result has been a sharp spike in the USDTRY.
On the other hand, with Erdogan now de facto central bank chief, it is only a matter of time before the pair trades back to whatever level the Turkish president deems satisfactory, even if it means the vaporization of Turkish FX reserves and the eventual collapse of the country's economy.

Just released (8:30am EST) numbers show June PPI shows continued muted inflation pressures, but 'higher than expected' this is not what muh FRB wants. It has raised rates in the past when they deem inflation not hihg enough.
This always set -off the needed event for the system to cause the bust/boom cycles it always needs to further it's control.
Despite fresh all time highs in US equities, where the S&P is set to open above 3,000 after closing at 2,999.9 on Thursday, world shares came within a whisker of posting their first weekly loss since May on Friday and the dollar was down for a third day, even as a stronger-than-expected
U.S. inflation print failed to shake bets on Federal Reserve interest rate cuts. Earlier in the session, the MSCI index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan was down 0.1%, with the regional benchmark set for its first weekly decline since May, as investors continued to monitor trade tensions between the U.S. and China.
Markets in the region were mixed, with China, Hong Kong and South Korea advancing and Indonesia, Australia and Japan dropping.

https://www.bloomberg.com//news/articles/2019-07-12/china-s-tepid-growth-prompts-calls-for-imminent-rate-revamp?
Attention then turned to China, whose export growth slowed in June and imports shrank more than expected: specifically, exports fell 1.3% in June from a year ago and imports shrank a more-than-expected 7.3%.
On top of that its trade surplus with the United States, a major source of friction with its biggest trading partner, rose to $29.92 billion in June from $26.9 billion in May.
Comments by Chicago Fed President Charles Evans scheduled later on Friday and New York Fed President John Williams on Monday will provide a chance to gauge how dovish the central bank is.
Deeply negative yields on Europe's highest-rated bonds are driving investors seeking the right mix of returns and safety into assets such as interest-rate swaps-not a good idea BTW as this is just moar paper covering up for moar paper.
Our bonds are selling off too…see cap#3. Oil is set to have a bigish weekly gain-but is reacting to the big positions taken out as the storm approached…this is such bullshit, CFTC where in the fuck are you???
June PPI report in the US is due out this afternoon. Away from that and next in line for the Fed is Evans this afternoon when he speaks in Chicago on trade and the economy, while over at the ECB we're due to hear from Visco while at the BoE Vlieghe is due to speak.
As for the other data that was out yesterday, in the US, jobless claims declined 13k last week to 209k and the lowest since April. It's worth noting that there might be some volatility in this data at the moment due to retooling in the auto sector; however,
it still continues to underscore the point that the labour sector remains upbeat. Later on, the June monthly budget statement showed a -$8.5bn fiscal deficit for June, as spending (+12.5% yoy) vastly outpaced revenues (+5.6%). The revs were up and that is a good thing
That not going to be fixed overnight but at least the revenues are steadily increasing, the spending did too but that is to be expected trying to fix this shit we were put in to.

China's Tepid Growth Prompts Calls for Imminent Rate Revamp
PBOC expected to announce reform soon, after cabinet reviewed. Yi has signaled PBOC will scrap benchmark, keep deposit rate.
China's slowing economy and clogged policy transmission are adding to the urgency of a reform of the country's interest rates in order to lower borrowing costs.
With the economy about to post the slowest pace in years, economists from bank of China Ltd to Citigroup Inc and Everbright Securities expect the central bank to accelerate a long-mulled revamp to simplify the complex array of interest rates.
"The need to reduce real borrowing costs for companies and lift domestic demand is pressing, but the room for more easing is limited," said Fan Ruoying, an analyst at the bank of China's Institute of International Finance in Beijing.
Read More: PBOC Braces for the 'Last Mile' in Interest Rates Overhaul
The dilemma gives policy makers little choice but to push for the so-called market-oriented reform of interest rates, she said, hoping to "unclog the transmission and make stimulus measures pass through better."
A State Council meeting on June 26 discussed how to deepen the interest rate reform as part of the efforts to lower borrowing costs this year, indicating the plan is in the last stages.
Policy makers are struggling to generate demand for bank loans as growth slows, partly because of the shortcomings of the current two-track interest rate system. Amid concerns that broad easing via cuts to the benchmark one-year lending rate could weaken the yuan and inflate asset bubbles, officials have kept that rate on hold and instead funneled cheaper liquidity to banks – without that cash being able to flow readily to the real economy.
China's Evolving Toolkit to Manage Monetary Policy: QuickTake
Policy makers have long telegraphed their intention to reform the system, and the situation became more pressing this month when the overnight repo rate fell to the lowest level since at least 2003, breaking the floor of the central bank's interest rates corridor.
"The issue now is that monetary policy isn't being transmitted effectively, and the interest rates for loans remain high," said Wang Yifeng, analyst at Everbright Securities Co. in Beijing.
For now, details about the reform are scarce, but clues are available in officials' comments. PBOC Governor Yi Gang indicated in May that the PBOC will likely scrap the benchmark lending rate while keeping the deposit rate in the early stages of the reform.
Policy makers will likely make the Loan Prime Rate – the price banks offer to their best clients – more closely linked to the rate of PBOC's mid-term loans, or the Medium-term Lending Facility, according to Everbright's Wang.

Q Research General #8959: Shillz Gonna Regret Edition
POTUS Slams Cryptos, Libra; Praises Dollar As World's "Most Dominant Currency"
A day full of paradoxes just added one more.
Moments ago, amid his early evening tweetstorm (which so far is tiny compared to the furious tweeting he unleashed this morning), Trump who earlier in the day conquered the stock market, tweeting "Dow just hit 27,000 for first time EVER!" (once again not realizing that by owning the Fed's biggest asset bubble in history, he will also own the coming crash), the stock market president decided to shift his focus to currencies, and not just any currencies, but cryptos (and, well, Libra which only pretends to be), saying on twitter that "I am not a fan of Bitcoin and other Cryptocurrencies, which are not money, and whose value is highly volatile and based on thin air", seemingly unaware that the value of any currency is based on precisely the very same thing.
I am not a fan of Bitcoin and other Cryptocurrencies, which are not money, and whose value is highly volatile and based on thin air. Unregulated Crypto Assets can facilitate unlawful behavior, including drug trade and other illegal activity….
- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 12, 2019
Trump went on, explaining that " Unregulated Crypto Assets can facilitate unlawful behavior, including drug trade and other illegal activity", which coming from a former real estate developer means a lot.
….Similarly, Facebook Libra's "virtual currency" will have little standing or dependability. If Facebook and other companies want to become a bank, they must seek a new banking Charter and become subject to all banking Regulations, just like other banks, both National…
- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 12, 2019
Picking up where Congress left off its Libracoin hearings with the Fed Chair over the past two days, Trump then decided to slam the latest entrant in the digital (because it isn't crypto) currency world: "Similarly, Facebook Libra's "virtual currency" will have little standing or dependability."
Gradually, the object of Trump's evening ire emerged: not so much Cryptos, as Facebook's audacious attempt to become a central bank without a sovereign, when Trump slammed Zuckerberg's company: "If Facebook and other companies want to become a bank, they must seek a new banking Charter and become subject to all banking Regulations, just like other banks, both National and International."
…and International. We have only one real currency in the USA, and it is stronger than ever, both dependable and reliable. It is by far the most dominant currency anywhere in the World, and it will always stay that way. It is called the United States Dollar!
- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 12, 2019
Trump then concluded by directly contradicting all his recent efforts that have been geared at devaluing the dollar - after all, just today, Goldman, BofA and SocGen all predicted that the US would intervene to devalue the dollar- by imposing the greenback as the "most dominant currency in the world", which apparently is more important when one is engaged in a pissing match over who has the "biggest" currency, than Trump's ongoing demands that the Fed cut rates so that said dominant currency can lose much of its value: "We have only one real currency in the USA, and it is stronger than ever, both dependable and reliable. It is by far the most dominant currency anywhere in the World, and it will always stay that way. It is called the United States Dollar!"
We wonder how long it will take for the Trump advisors who wrote the actual tweet, to figure out that if Trump wants a new Plaza Accord - and he does - he should be praising, not slamming both cryptos and Libra…
But… you want a weaker dollar https://t.co/sAVhKpc9uE
- zerohedge (@zerohedge) July 12, 2019
… and that if Trump really wants to cripple China, he should be encouraging the development, distribution and growth of the one mechanism that will allow $30 trillion in Chinese deposits to escape the country's capital controls firewall, resulting in China's prompt reserve depletion and financial meltdown.
For those wondering, the price of cryptos following Trump's tweet is unchanged.

PBOC Panics, Demands central bank Oversight Of Facebook's Libra
The Fed and the ECB greeted Facebook's introduction last month of its new 'Libra' stable coin - which the company said will help facilitate global payments via the company's various messaging apps - with suspicion. Now, even the PBOC is expressing some alarm, and urging its international peers to up the oversight on the project, before Zuckerberg accidentally sparks currency crises in countries with less-stable currencies like Turkey and - possibly in the not-too-distant-future - China, per BBG.
Since Libra can move freely across borders, it "won't be sustainable without the support and supervision of central banks," Mu Changchun, deputy director of the PBOC's payments department, said. That's because the currency could create new monetary policy and foreign exchange risks for developing economies.

The U.S. economy has grown in complexity since 1971 and certainly since 1933, making the policy less feasible than in earlier eras. And a return to the gold standard could in effect tie the Fed's hands because the central bank would be focused on gold prices, which are partially based on how much of the commodity is being mined.
"A gold standard regime would be a disaster for any large advanced economy," said University of Chicago economist Anil Kashyap. Supporting the gold standard "implies macroeconomic illiteracy."

Trading Bitcoin Is Illegal in Iran, central bank Official Warns
Buying and selling cryptocurrencies like bitcoin (BTC) is illegal in Iran, a senior government official declared, according to a report by local news agency Tasnim News on July 8.
Nasser Hakimi, deputy governor for new technologies at the central bank of Iran (CBI), said that bitcoin trading is not legal in the country, citing a related prohibition by a local anti-money laundering (AML) authority, the Supreme Council of Combating and Preventing Money laundering and Financing of Terrorism Crimes.
In an interview with Tasnim News, Hakimi warned the public against legal and investment risks associated with cryptocurrency trading, outlining a high level of bitcoin's volatility. Alongside, the official also expressed concerns about crypto advertisements, bringing awareness of promoted bitcoin pyramid schemes in the public.
The official has also reportedly raised the issue of the need to draw a distinction between the production of cryptocurrencies and its trading.
In late June, Iranian authorities announced that they start cutting power to cryptocurrency mining until new energy prices are adopted, with a local energy official reporting an abnormal spike of electricity consumption allegedly caused by increased mining of crypto. As such, local prosecutors seized around 1,000 bitcoin miners from two now-defunct farms in late June, BBC reported.
On July 6, Iranian Assistant Minister of Industry, Trade, and Supply stated that the United States Congress is allegedly working to stop Iran's access to crypto and bitcoin mining in an attempt to prevent the country from using a tool for evading sanctions. As previously reported, bitcoin investment among Iranians has become increasingly popular due to a severe inflation of the local fiat currency, Iranian rial (IRR) amid the nuclear crisis deal.

Q Research General #8895: Spirit Cooking The Epstein Goose Edition
Goldman Admits The Fed Has Lost Control
Back in January, when Chair Powell unexpectedly U-turned on months of hawkish policy and shocked traders when he said that contrary to what he had said just two weeks prior during the December FOMC press conference, the Fed could be "patient", rate hikes could, in fact "pause", and the Fed's balance sheet reduction is not in fact on "autopilot", the Powell Put finally emerged for the first time, and the result has been a torrid rally ever since, and the best first half market performance in decades.
It also prompted an avalanche of accusations that Powell - who has also facing intense pressure from president Trump to cut rates or else lose his job - folded like a cheap suit, held hostage by traders who pushed stocks low enough to i) test where the Powell Put strike price is and ii) force the Fed to not only halt rate hikes, but launch an easing cycle, something it has now effectively done.
Yet as we noted in January, being held hostage, or captive, by the market is nothing new to Powell; in fact, it was way back when in March 2013, ahead of the Fed's taper announcement, that the Fed chair first realized that it was not the Fed that controls the market, but rather - after years of ZIRP and QE - the Fed had become a hostage of the market's every whim.
And now, none other than the world's biggest incubator of central bankers, Goldman admits as much.
In a note published by Goldman's chief economist Jan Hatzius, he asks rhetorically "Why Cut?" and provides several good fundamental, economic reasons why there is no reason whatsoever for Powell to announce at the end of this month that the US central bank has commenced an easing process. Some of the key arguments are the following:
Fears of a sharp labor market slowdown have proven unfounded so far. Following the 224k rebound in June, both the 3- and 6-month averages for nonfarm payroll growth are now back above 170k. This is 50k below the 2018 pace but still 70k above the breakeven rate consistent with stable unemployment.
While there has been a sharp slowdown in various manufacturing surveys, Goldman continues to believe that "much of this weakness reflects the ongoing inventory adjustment, which is likely to subtract 1.7pp from Q2 GDP growth" and adds that "we are now probably near the end of this process, as the level of inventory investment seems to have fallen to a below-trend pace and the economywide inventory/sales ratio appears to be peaking." According to Hatzius, "these observations typically set the stage for a rebound in orders and employment before too long."
The US Consumer has rarely been stronger: according to Goldman, prospects for final demand look good, as private domestic final sales probably grew almost 3% in Q2, "and even beyond Q2, we are relatively optimistic, because the easing in financial conditions implies that the FCI impulse to growth should go from about -1pp around yearend 2018 to a modestly positive number around year-end 2019."
Inflation is far from recessionary: while core PCE inflation remains at 1.6% year-on-year, significantly below the Fed's 2% target, in Powell's May 1 FOMC press conference, he characterized the weakness as "transient" and emphasized the stability at 2% in the Dallas Fed's trimmed-mean index, and to Goldman this still looks like the right take on the issue: "In fact, both the core PCE and the trimmed-mean PCE remain at the same year-on-year levels as two months ago, and each has risen at sequential rates of more than 2% since then."
Trade war has taken a step back: with most dovish Fedspeak over the past several weeks emphasizing the increased uncertainty (especially with regard to trade policy) around a fairly optimistic central case as a reason for potential rate cuts, while the trade uncertainty has not gone away, the decision by Presidents Trump and Xi to return to the negotiating table and suspend the next tariff increase has reduced it, at least in the near term.
This reveals the key question - if the economy, both domestic and international - are not pushing the Fed to cut, then what is? According to Goldman, the answer is simple - the market. To wit, despite the recently encouraging news on jobs, growth, inflation and trade, "the bond market is still priced for nearly 50bp of cumulative cuts over the next two meetings, even after Friday's selloff. Whether or not this is "justified" by the fundamentals, it probably matters for the near-term monetary policy outlook because it raises the cost of doing nothing."

Wall Street: Big banks on Deutsche bank: Restructuring plan may be too 'radical' and too 'optimistic'
One of the risks that market analysts perceived of Deutsche's restructuring plan was its impact on the larger banking sector.
Big players on the Wall Street have termed Deutsche bank's major restructuring drive as "very deep," "radical" as well as "challenging."
Deutsche bank announced Sunday that it will pull out of its global equities sales and trading operations, scale back its investment banking and slash thousands of jobs as part of a sweeping restructuring plan to improve profitability.
Deutsche will cut 18,000 jobs for a global headcount of around 74,000 employees by 2022. The bank aims to reduce adjusted costs by a quarter to 17 billion euros ($19 billion) over the next several years. The shares were down more than 6% in U.S. trading Monday.
While the embattled lender may have gone through a number of strategy overhauls in recent years, its CEO James von Moltke told CNBC Sunday that the bank is determined this new round of restructuring will be its last.
One of the risks that market analysts perceived of Deutsche's restructuring plan was its impact on the larger banking sector. CNBC takes a look at what the analysts from major banks have to say about Deutsche bank's biggest ever restructuring plan.
Goldman Sachs
Goldman Sachs in a note on Monday called the restructuring as "very deep" but warned of challenges.
"A very deep restructuring, by any measure. Media reporting ahead of Sunday's board meeting was intense, yet the announcements still surprised in terms of their scope and scale, Goldman Sachs noted.
"DBK's structural challenges, as we see them, fall into three categories: the absence of a high-return platform, elevated funding costs, and uncertainty around the scope of its IB business," the note stated.
On the big job cuts and exit from global equities sales, Goldman notes that it is bigger than what was expected.
"Whilst we did expect DBK to substantially scale back its equities operation, we did not expect a wholesale exit across geographies - including in its home market of European / German equities - and business lines."
Citi
Citi, in a research note, termed the restructuring plan as setting "optimistic targets."
"In a well-telegraphed announcement after two weeks of media headlines Deutsche bank has confirmed a significant restructuring," the note said.
"Restructuring charges of ?7.4 billion (c12% of tangible equity) are heavier than anticipated, but spread out over 4 years. Management intends to fund this from existing resources, so there is no capital raise. This may yet prove optimistic."
Citi has set a price target of 6 euros for the German lender and rates it as "high risk" for exposure to a number of outstanding litigation issues.
bank of America Merrill Lynch
bank of America Merrill Lynch called the plan "ambitious" but said a number if questions still remain unanswered.
"This is an ambitious plan for sure, with larger cost cuts and a higher targeted RoTE than expected. Capital elements were largely anticipated by the market, but in our view leave the bank's strategy in the hands of the regulators, BofAML analysts Andrew Stimpson and Alastair Ryan said in a research note Monday.
"Without a reduction in capital requirements or the ECB (European central bank) agreeing to allow operational RWA (risk-weighted assets) to reduce faster, then DBK may have little capital to deploy into the higher multiple businesses it wishes to grow," the note added.
J.P. Morgan
JP Morgan termed it as a "bold restructuring" but also said "execution remains key"
"DB restructuring in our view is bold and for the first time not half-baked but a real strategic shift giving up its Tier I IB ambitions. DB is rightsizing to where it came from originally, a corporate bank with the addition of a large Fixed Income footprint."
"We believe further questions need to be answered such as: i) credibility around execution, ii) revenue growth details and rationale, where DB has disappointed in the past, iii) employee motivation post the restructuring to go for regaining market share in Fixed Income and around DB's ability to operate a corporate franchise without a European equity business."
J.P. Morgan in its note further stated that there are a number of upside and downside risks. These could include global economy undergoing a slowdown with a corresponding deterioration in credit quality and weaker revenues, which could affect DB's profitability. Execution risk on the latest strategy announced could pose as both upside and downside headwind, according to JPM.

Asian Market Report
The Morgan Stanley downgrade finally hit the World's markets a bit ago. Was actually pretty subdued until they all woke up and had some cofveve. Another Chinese Executive arrested
This time the Chair of Camsing, the purchased POW! entertainment from Stan Lee. In May 2017, POW! Entertainment was acquired by Camsing International Holding.
Pow Entertainment acquired by Camsing International Holdings
https://variety.com/2017/film/news/stan-lee-pow-entertainment-china-camsing-international-1202418869/
CME futures have changed drastically. Now only a 6.9% chance of a larger cut than .25%-See Cap#3. Powell testify's in Congress Weds/Thurs with the semi-annual outlook
on economic activity. Gets some breathing room just before going to the hill-yeaa, no coincidence there right?-thanks Morgan Stanley…you have certainly served well
in your ownership role of the FRB. Expect moar downgrades starting early morning EST when the coke wears off and the upper mgmt(s) tell the analysts to drop the hammer on outlooks and forecasts.
Now we have this headline
Hong Kong Stock(Camsing)Plunges 90% After Chairwoman Detained by Chinese Police
Camsing International Holding Ltd. tumbled a record 90% Monday morning in Hong Kong after the circuit-board maker said late Friday that chairwoman Lo Ching is in Chinese police custody. In a statement to the stock exchange, Camsing said it became aware on July 5 that Lo was being held in criminal custody by the Yangpu branch of the Shanghai Public Security Bureau. The directors of the company were unaware of the reasons, the statement said, adding that business and board operations haven't been adversely affected. Camsing didn't immediately respond when reached for comment Monday.
Lo is also chairwoman of Jiangsu Boxin Investing & Holdings Co., which fell by the 10% daily limit in Shanghai for a second day. In a statement to the city's stock exchange after Friday's close, the company said Lo was taken into custody on June 20, while chief financial officer Jiang Shaoyang was detained on June 25. It said its business was operating as usual and that steps would be taken to enhance corporate governance.
Camsing shares were trading at the lowest since February 2015 and rooted to the bottom of the Hang Seng Composite Index, which was down 1.9% at 10:54 a.m. in Hong Kong.
Trading volume was more than 200 times the 20-day average for this time of day, according to Bloomberg Automated Intelligence on Demand.
Another Hong Kong stock – Future Land Development Holding Ltd. – tumbled last week after a senior figure was detained by Chinese police.
Such slumps can be particularly acute in China because the nation's corporate founders play outsized roles.

Asian shares fall as bets off on sharp U.S. rate cuts
while the Turkish lira hovered near two-week lows on worries about central bank independence.
Share sentiment was also dampened by U.S. investment bank Morgan Stanley's decision to reduce its exposure to global equities due to misgivings about the ability of policy easings to offset weaker economic data.
Asian shares were broadly weaker on Monday, tracking Wall Street which fell from record highs last week.
MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan lost more than 1%, with every market in the red.
Japan's Nikkei .N225 faltered 0.9%. Chinese shares started lower with the blue-chip index .CSI300 off 1.7% and Hong Kong's Hang Seng index .HSI down 1.5%.
South Korea's KOSPI .KS11 was off 1.8% and Australian shares slipped about 1% to a five-week low.
"We are lowering our exposure to global equities to the range we consider 'underweight'," Morgan Stanley's London-based strategist Andrew Sheets said in a note. The previous range was 'neutral'.
Expensive valuations and pressure on earnings were among the reasons for the downgrade, Sheets said, while the bank increased its exposure to emerging markets sovereign credit and safe haven Japanese Government Bonds.
There was some positive news on the protracted China-U.S. trade war with White House Economic advisor Larry Kudlow confirming that top representatives from the United States and China will meet in the coming week for trade talks.

Q Research General #8884: Shekels wont save you this time Mr. (((Epstein)))
Morgan Stanley: "We Are Putting Our Money Where Our Mouth Is And Downgrading Global Stocks To Sell"-RIDICULOUS BULLSHIT!!!!
stay with pepe on this explanation- this is the system trying to pull the pin on themselves the closer the FOMC meeting gets. Look what they tell you to buy at the bottom of this article FIXED INCOME-what do they have an ASS-TON of???
The reasons they give are solid (can't argue with them-but shit be different this time, and this time WE are right not them-fuck them)
They are recommending is to dump what brought everyone here, namely equities and plow what you get into bonds.
That will AUTOMATICALLY raise yields and make borrowing moar expensive for everyone. It will also allow the FOMC to stand pat on interest rate raises.
The bond market speaks for the FOMC on this matter, contrary to what everyone thinks. THE FRB/FOMC DOES NOT SET INTEREST RATES, the only thing they do is be the messenger for the bond markets.
In some cases, goldman and ally bank, have already lowered the savings rate they pay out. They are controlling this NOT THE FRB as they own the FRB.
This downgrade will trigger moar of them from other banks and hedge funds.
Remember the rothschilds bet on ALL SIDES so whatver habbens they will win-DON'T FEED THIS GASLIGHTING BULLSHIT.
It might get some downdrafts and you would be a silly pepe to not try and capture some of that but POTUS and crew have brought you this far-TRUST THE MUTHAFUCKING PLAN
Begin article
The time has come to put our money where our mouth is. In light of these concerns and others, we are downgrading our allocation to global equities from equal-weight to underweight.
There comes a point for every analyst where you need to change your forecast or change your view. We're doing the latter.
Why are those return estimates so low, especially in light of possible central bank easing? Our economists, after all, are calling for the Federal Reserve to lower rates later this month, and the ECB to embark on a new round of quantitative easing.
Our concern is that the positives of easier policy will be offset by the negatives of weaker growth: We think a repeated lesson for stocks over the last 30 years has been that when easier policy collides with weaker growth,
the latter usually matters more for returns. Easing has worked best when accompanied by improving data. If you don't believe us, we have some European stocks from April 2015, shortly after the ECB's first QE programme was announced, that we'd like to sell you.
As markets have rallied over the last month, global trade and PMI data have continued to worsen. Global inflation expectations, commodity prices and long-end yields suggest little optimism about a growth recovery. On the back of the G20, our economists downgraded their global growth forecasts. We forecast an aggressive Fed and ECB action because we think growth concerns are material.
Given our disagreement on how much policy easing will help, it's reasonable to ask: Why not make this change in August, after the Fed cuts? Because we do see two potential nearer-term catalysts: 2Q earnings season and the drop in summer liquidity.
Global PMIs have continued to fall.
And Morgan Stanley's Business Conditions Index, a survey of how our equity analysts feel about their companies, suffered its largest one-month decline ever in June. We believe all this signals risk to equities.
but you had NO problems with virtually the same scenarios during the hussein administration-again FUCK YOU!
Relative to bonds, stocks do offer a historically elevated equity risk premium (ERP). But we think it's dangerous to be too sanguine about both these supports. ERP is a valuation measure, and like all such measures it is much better as a multi-year guide than a near-term indicator, being easily swamped by more pressing concerns. Stocks have looked cheap to bonds for almost the entire post-crisis period. That didn't prevent a number of meaningful draw-downs.
If investors really believe in the power of 'cheapness to bonds' they have an odd way of showing it. Europe, Japan, Value and Cyclicals are the segments of the market cheapest to fixed income. They are also the least-loved. Indeed, while investor positioning may not be particularly extended overall, it looks relatively concentrated in the US, Growth, Quality and Defensives.
For now, we're putting our money where our mouth is. Following these changes, we are underweight both equities and credit, equal-weight government bonds and overweight cash. Our most preferred asset class remains emerging market fixed income.

Q Research General #8884: Shekels wont save you this time Mr. (((Epstein)))
Morgan Stanley: "We Are Putting Our Money Where Our Mouth Is And Downgrading Global Stocks To Sell"
Authored by Andrew Sheets, chief cross-asset strategist at Morgan Stanley
Over recent weeks, you've heard us discussing why we think investors should fade the optimism from the recent G20. Why we think bad data should be feared rather than cheered because it will bring more central bank easing. Why we think the market is too optimistic on 2019 earnings and is underestimating the pressure from inventories, labour costs and trade uncertainty.
The time has come to put our money where our mouth is. In light of these concerns and others, we are downgrading our allocation to global equities from equal-weight to underweight.
The most straightforward reason for this shift is simple - we project poor returns: Over the next 12 months, there is now just 1% average upside to Morgan Stanley's price targets for the S&P 500, MSCI Europe, MSCI EM and Topix Japan (including dividends and equally weighted). If we ignore those targets and estimate returns for those same regions based on current valuations, adjusting for whether returns tend to be better or worse given current economic data, the upside is very similar (3%). There comes a point for every analyst where you need to change your forecast or change your view. We're doing the latter.
Why are those return estimates so low, especially in light of possible central bank easing? Our economists, after all, are calling for the Federal Reserve to lower rates later this month, and the ECB to embark on a new round of quantitative easing.
Our concern is that the positives of easier policy will be offset by the negatives of weaker growth: We think a repeated lesson for stocks over the last 30 years has been that when easier policy collides with weaker growth, the latter usually matters more for returns. Easing has worked best when accompanied by improving data. If you don't believe us, we have some European stocks from April 2015, shortly after the ECB's first QE programme was announced, that we'd like to sell you.

Lira Crashes After Erdogan Unexpectedly Fires Turkey's central bank Governor
Just as glimmers of hope were starting to emerge that Turkey may finally crawl its way out of the deep hole it dug for itself last summer… and Erdogan happens.
The Turkish Lira has opened in early trading, crashing over 16 handles…
So what will Erdogan do to support the Lira this time? Ziad Daoud, Bloomberg's Mideast economist pointed out:
"If Erdogan's aim was to get lower interest rates, then the decision to replace the governor could backfire. Now there's an additional credibility constraint, with financial markets certain to scrutinize the motivation and magnitude of any easing."
* * *
As we detailed yesterday, the world sure can be an ironic place: just one week after the bank of International Settlements highlighted Turkey as the case study of all the bad things and political costs resulting from political meddling and intervention in a central bank's affairs, when BIS General Manager Agustin Carstens said "you see the government undermining the autonomy of the central bank and at the same time you see the negative consequences," adding that looking at Turkey, other countries can "see what happens when the government tinkers with the autonomy", Turkey's president Erdogan had just one message: "hold my bear."
That's right: two weeks after Erdogan appeared to finally throw in the towel on aggressively authoritarian practices when he conceded the loss of the Istanbul election revote to his ruling party's primary challenger in a surprisingly subdued response, the "executive president" reminded everyone just why Turkey remains a consummate economic basket case, when on Saturday morning, Erdogan unexpectedly fired Murat Cetinkaya as central bank governor, after he reportedly refused an informal request to resign, according to Bloomberg which also correctly notes that the decision to terminate the centrist central banker risks a furious market backlash just as foreign money started returning to Turkey, which was expected to start interest-rate cuts in the immediate future.

Kazakhstan ends bank bailouts, writes off people's debts instead
Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev said he'll write off bad loans held by a sixth of the central Asian country's population, while signaling a sharp change in policy to end costly state bailouts of private banks.
The loan-forgiveness program is Tokayev's first major policy announcement since he was elected president on June 9 in a choreographed transfer of power that began when longtime leader Nursultan Nazarbayev stepped down as head of state in March. His victory was met with rare and widespread protests.
bank bailouts are also a sensitive issue in Kazakhstan, which has been mired in a decade-long crisis in which the government has pumped at least $18 billion into lenders to keep the sector from collapsing under the weight of bad debts. The central bank is conducting a review of asset quality, prompting speculation that a new round of bailouts may be in the works.
"My attitude is that there should be no governmental bailouts" for lenders, Tokayev, 66, said in an interview Tuesday in the capital, Nur-Sultan. "My assessment of this issue as a president is that the government should not get involved any more, any longer, with its loans as far as private banks are concerned."

India's PNB says detects 38 billion rupee($556 million)fraud
MUMBAI (Reuters) - India's state-run Punjab National bank (PNB) on Saturday said it had reported a borrowing fraud of 38.05 billion Indian rupees ($556 million) in Bhushan Power & Steel Ltd's account to the country's central bank.
The fraud, "alleging diversion of funds from the banking system" was being reported to the Reserve bank of India (RBI) on the basis of the findings of forensic audit and the federal police filing a first information report, the PNB said in a statement to stock exchanges.
"It has been observed that the company has misappropriated bank funds, manipulated books of accounts to raise funds from consortium lender banks," PNB said, adding that it had already made provisions of 19.32 billion rupees in Bhushan's account.
PNB has been defrauded of over $2 billion in a separate scam that came to light last year.
Bhushan Power and Steel, one of India's most indebted companies, was among the first 12 companies referred by the RBI India to a bankruptcy court for a debt resolution process under India's new insolvency law.
The company could not be reached for comment on the PNB statement.

Q Research General #8871:Explosion in the Plantation! Edition
Welcome to Chain Letter! Great to have you. This week: A new startup bets that blockchains make a difference in campaign fundraising. And, yes, more Libra.
Big Tech's foray into financial services has central bankers scrambling. Just a few months ago, Augustín Carstens, the general manager for the bank for International Settlements (BIS), the so-called central bank for central banks, said his organization saw no value in the potential of central-bank-issued digital currencies. Well, he's apparently had a change of heart, and the entrance of Facebook and other "big techs" into financial services appears to be the reason.
Carstens told the Financial Times that the BIS is supporting the "many" central banks currently developing or researching digital currencies. "And it might be that it is sooner than we think that there is a market and we need to be able to provide central bank digital currencies," he said.
Many other central bankers have dismissed cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, which tend to be volatile and whose most popular use has been speculation. But Facebook's proposed digital currency, Libra, will be backed by fiat money and designed to maintain a stable value.That, and Facebook's massive global reach, could help it gain traction. Facebook is also not the only big technology company making a foray into financial services. In its new annual report, the BIS also mentions Alibaba, Amazon, Google, and Tencent. The report warns that "big techs have the potential to become dominant" in this area thanks to network effects.
Carstens has warned that central bank digital currencies would have a "major impact" on the financial system, beginning with the fact that it may force central banks to serve retail customers. Traditionally, central banks hold accounts only for commercial banks.
The potential implications of such a change for the stability of the global financial system aren't entirely clear, and Carstens has questioned (PDF) the value of central banks' venturing into such uncharted territory. If Facebook and big tech companies get their way, however they may have to. At the very least, the BIS concludes in its new report, "comprehensive" public policy is needed to "respond to big techs' entry into financial services so as to benefit from the gains while limiting the risks."
The head of Facebook's blockchain project would like to clear up some "misunderstandings." David Marcus has written a post intended to give "clarity" to the critics of Libra, the blockchain network Facebook is trying to seed.
First, to those who say the system is not really decentralized: "We totally get the point," Marcus wrote in the July 3 post. "But it was important to start with trusted entities that could operate in a regulated environment and with the operational expertise required to ensure the integrity of the network in its foundational stage." He reiterated that "we're committed to gradually transitioning to a permissionless state in the years to come," and added that in the meantime, "I'd argue that one hundred geographically distributed, industry-diverse organizations is quite decentralized." (There are only 28 so far, however.)
According to Marcus, Facebook isn't joking around about its commitment to financial inclusion. "We firmly believe that if Libra is successful, it can be a non-linear step change for billions of people who need it most." Those are big words, and that's an enormous "if."
As for financial regulations, and where Libra sees itself fitting in: "At the core, we believe that a network that helps move more cash transactions-where a lot of illicit activities happen-to a digital network that features regulated on and off ramps with proper know-your-customer (KYC) practices, combined with the ability for law enforcement and regulators to conduct their own analysis of on-chain activity, will be a big opportunity to increase the efficacy of financial crimes monitoring and enforcement." This kind of clarity won't sit well with privacy advocates.
Finally, Marcus took a crack at answering a question we've asked here a few times: What's in it for Facebook? "If Libra is successful, Facebook will first benefit from it by enabling more commerce across its family of apps." Down the road, "if we earn people's trust with the Calibra wallet over time, we will also be in a position to start offering more financial services, and generate more revenue streams for the company." Intriguing, but at the same time that's just another big "if."

China Drafts Rules on Liquidity Support for Securities Firms
China's securities regulator is soliciting public opinions over a rule allowing a state fund to bail out securities companies that "face significant liquidity risk," according to an online note from the China Securities Regulatory Commission.
The rule also regulates the methods and sources of liquidity support securities firms can seek – ranging from asset sales to seeking assistance from shareholders or other brokerages.
The regulation is under public review until August 5, according to the note. It didn't disclose when the rule would be implemented.
In late June, the People's bank of China allowed brokerages to issue more debt as officials sought to ease a funding strain spurred by the government seizure of a bank. That month the central bank and the securities regulator called on major banks and brokerages to increase financing support to smaller brokers, according to people familiar with the matter.

soliciting public opinion…since when does that count in china?….they are just using this as a way to make them appear responsible, they will still print to save themselves as they have already said they are relaxing the rules for foreign ownership of chinese companies, india doing it too.

Erdogan Removes Cetinkaya, Names Deputy as central bank Governor
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan unexpectedly removed Murat Cetinkaya as central bank governor and replaced him with his deputy, Murat Uysal, according to the Official Gazette.
Cetinkaya, appointed governor in April 2016, was criticized for acting too slowly to tighten monetary policy during a currency rout in August. But he increased the benchmark interest rate by 625 points in September and has kept it at that level ever since.
Erdogan frequently chastised the central bank for keeping rates elevated. While the U.S. Federal Reserve is moving closer to lowering interest rates, "the policy rate in my country is 24%, this is unacceptable," Erdogan said last month.
Uysal, deputy governor since June 9, 2016, said he would continue to implement monetary-policy tools independently, in line with his mandate and authority. Uysal will hold a press conference in the upcoming days, according to a statement on the central bank's website.

Turkey Appoints New central bank Governor - Report
Turkish authorities are reportedly reviving plans to transfer the central bank's 46 billion lira ($8 billion) in legal reserves to country's budget to boost the economy and are also considering adjusting some tax measures as it battles recession, Reuters reported, citing sources.
According to the Turkish presidential decree, cited by Reuters, Ankara removed its central bank governor Murat Cetinkaya early on Saturday and replaced him with the bank's deputy governor Murat Uysal.
There have been no reports on the reason regarding the replacement.
In 2018, the Turkish economy struggled due to the depreciation of the national currency, lira, which fell by nearly 40 percent against the US dollar when the relations between Ankara and Washington deteriorated. The situation significantly worsened in August, when US President Donald Trump authorized the doubling of tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from Turkey up to 50 and 20 percent respectively. However, by the years end the Turkish currency has reportedly managed to recover.
However, Turkey's budget deficit skyrocketed up to 225 percent in the first five months of the current year, according to Reuters. The Turkish Treasury and Finance ministry has reportedly drafted measures to prevent further deterioration in the domestic economy.
In particular, the measures Reportedly included raising taxes on high-income individuals, lowering corporate taxes, and transferring the central bank's 46 billion lira ($8 billion) in legal reserves to the budget.
According to Reuters, planned measures were postponed until October 2019.

POTUS Spoke To Powell For 5 Minutes On May 20, Following Phone Calls In March And April
While POTUS has been slamming and talking needed smack about Jerome Powell before the entire world on his public Twitter account, demanding rate cuts and/or QE, the president has also been keeping periodic tabs on the Fed Chair via brief phone calls, with Powell's calendar revealing that the two spoke for five minutes on May 20, from 4:42pm to 4:47pm. The call represents the fourth publicly disclosed conversation between the two this year, with May's telephone call following similar conversations in April and March as well as a dinner meeting in February.
While there were no major fireworks in the market on or around May 20, when the S&P traded down from 2,880 to as low as 2,840.
the call took place hours before Powell delivered speech at Atlanta Fed conference on financial markets, in which Powell flagged financial stability risks such as record debt, high valuations, leverage and CLO liquidity, and where Powell said the following:
Equity prices have recently reached new highs, and corporate bond and loan spreads are narrow. Both commercial and residential property prices have moved above their long-run relationship with rents, although price gains slowed substantially last year. All of these developments point to strong risk appetite-as might be expected given the strong economy. But there does not appear to be a feedback loop between borrowing and asset prices, as was the case in the run-up to the financial crisis.
One week ahead of the call, on May 14, Trump tweeted his desire for the Fed to "match" what he said China would do to offset economic hardship being caused by tariffs.
According to Bloomberg, Fed spokesman David Skidmore did not comment on what was said between the two.
The conversations came as the president has been attacking Powell for what he views as restrictive interest rates, which he argues undermines U.S. trade deliberations and dampen GDP growth. Just today Trump said that the U.S. "would be like a rocket ship" if the economy had lower interest rates.
POTUS called on the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates after touting the latest job report.
"We don't have a Fed that knows what they're doing. ... If we had a Fed that would lower rates, you would have a rocket ship" pic.twitter.com/Fzg7Glx9v7
- CNN Politics (@CNNPolitics) July 5, 2019
The administration's frustration at rising interest rates had grown so severe that the White House had reportedly explored the possibility of "legally demoting" the Fed chief.
Briefly addressing those criticisms, Powell said at the Fed's most recent press conference in mid-June that he doesn't plan on leaving the central bank anytime soon. "I think the law is clear that I have a four-year term, and I fully intend to serve it," Powell said at a news conference in Washington.
Asked later at the event when it might be appropriate to publicly address POTUS' criticism, Powell said he doesn't "discuss elected officials publicly or privately" according to CNBC. The Wall Street Journal first reported on the May telephone conversation between Powell and POTUS.

Japan's May household spending rises at fastest pace in four years
TOKYO (Reuters) - Household spending in Japan rose at the fastest pace in four years in May, in a sign improving domestic demand will offer some support for an economy facing growing external pressure.
A recovery in private consumption is seen as vital in Japan's fight against deflation, which has made companies reluctant to pass on rising costs to households.
Household spending grew 4.0% in May from a year earlier thanks to Japan's 10-day holiday, government data showed on Friday.
It rose at the fastest pace since May 2015 and was much stronger than the median forecast for a 1.6% increase.
From the previous month, it rose 5.5% for the month, which compared with a 1.4% contraction in April and the median estimate for a 1.2% gain.
The government raised its view on the household spending for the first time in four months, saying it is "picking up", an official said.
"Consumer spending in April-June is expected to have recovered from the previous month, which is likely to make up for some weakness in external demand," said Yoshiki Shinke, chief economist at Dai-ichi Life Research Institute.
"But there is a risk that consumer spending will worsen as sentiment weakens amid sluggish wage recovery and uncertainty over the economic outlook. Also a planned sales tax hike could dent spending after it is implemented."
The strong growth in household spending in May was led by accommodation bills, mobile phone charges, transportation fees and electricity.
The U.S.-China trade dispute has clouded the outlook for the export-reliant economy, and the concern is that a hit to business and consumer confidence could affect overall domestic consumption and choke growth.
Top representatives of the United States and China are looking to resume talks next week to try to resolve a year-long trade war between the world's two largest economies.
Some policymakers in Japan also worry a proposed tax hike could add to the pressure on growth as a previous tax increase in April 2014 dealt a blow to consumers and triggered a deep economic slump.
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has repeatedly said he will raise the sales tax to 10% this October as scheduled, unless there is a big economic shock on the scale of the collapse of Lehman Brothers.
The bank of Japan is counting on an improvement in consumer spending to achieve its elusive 2% inflation target, having failed to fire up consumer prices despite years of heavy money printing.
The central bank last month kept monetary policy steady but Governor Haruhiko Kuroda signaled a readiness to ramp up stimulus if global pressure on the economy intensifies.

Asian shares near two-month highs ahead of U.S. payrolls. Asian shares hovered near two-month highs on Friday, holding recent gains as investors awaited U.S. employment data.
They are just off a few ticks at present. A key release that could make or break market expectations about aggressive policy easing by the Federal Reserve.
All eyes are on U.S. non-farm payrolls, due later in the day, which is expected to have jumped by 160,000 in June compared with 75,000 in May.
The Fed holds its two-day policy meeting on July 30-31 and futures (CME-cap#3) are are fully pricing in a 25-basis-point cut. Investors also see a *27.6% (corrected reuters article-they had it wrong at 25%) chance of a 50-basis-point reduction.
The Fed is not alone in embarking on easier monetary policy. Australia's central bank has cut its cash rate by 50 basis points since June while leaving the door ajar for a third move this year.
In the euro zone, financial markets expect the bloc's central bank to lay out the landscape for further monetary easing at its July 25 meeting.
Germany's 10-year government bond yield, a benchmark for euro zone debt, fell to -0.4% and matched the European central bank's deposit rate for the first time - a sign that markets are expecting rate cuts.

Samsung Electronics profit guidance beats expectations on one-off gains, outlook weak
Samsung Electronics Co Ltd forecast a steep plunge in its second-quarter operating profit as the U.S.-China trade war wreaks havoc in global chip and smartphone markets, although one-off gains helped it beat analyst expectations. The South Korean tech giant is on track to post year-on-year profit declines for a third consecutive quarter as chip prices fell due to a supply glut and U.S. sanctions on Chinese telecom equipment maker Huawei Technologies, a key Samsung client.
One-off gains in the display division, which supplies display panels to Apple Inc, were reflected in the operating profit, the company said without elaborating.
Samsung received reimbursement worth about 800 billion won for display panels sold to Apple as the U.S. smartphone maker missed a sales target the parties had agreed on, analysts said.

Japan looks to turn up the heat on South Korea with stricter export controls on more items
TOKYO/SEOUL - Japan is considering imposing stricter export controls on more items bound for South Korea, government sources said Tuesday, in an apparent effort to raise pressure on Seoul to help resolve a bilateral dispute over compensation for wartime labor.
Expanding the list of items, possibly to include electronic parts and related materials that can be diverted to military use, will likely exacerbate bilateral tensions, and some within the government remain cautious about taking further steps, the sources said.

Lawyers for the defendants are not commenting on the Delaware allegations. It can be anticipated that Kolomoisky will argue the Privatbank loans weren't shams, and that they were repaid to the bank. Kolomoisky has already won counter claims against Privatbank in courts in London and Kyiv; he is now negotiating with the Kiev government to recover a 25% stake in the bank. "We have always said that we are open to negotiations. We believe that we are the injured party, that we have been robbed," Kolomoisky has told Reuters. "Kolomoisky calculates he is due a 25 percent stake in the bank because of the capital he had put into it. Give us then our 25 percent and keep 75, we will have a joint-stock company. There will be a 25 percent participation and 75 percent by the state, as one of the options."
Reuters also reports the Ukrainian central bank and the IMF believe Privat "was used as a vehicle for fraud and money-laundering while Kolomoisky owned it, and said the government was forced to inject $5.6 billion of taxpayers' money into the lender to shore up its finances." For more detail, click to read this.
The work on the transactions detailed in the Delaware court papers was commissioned by Privatbank and the NBU from Kroll, a due diligence firm as well known for white-washing the affairs of its clients as for investigating fraud. Kroll's report was then leaked to Graham Stack. In his report, published on April 19, Stack concludes: "The money was moved through a Privatbank subsidiary in Cyprus. The arrangement helped hide the fact that cash was disappearing because the National bank of Ukraine treated the Cyprus branch of Privatbank the same as it would domestic branches. This designation meant officials never detected that cash transferred to Cyprus was leaving Ukraine. Meanwhile, Cypriot regulators either failed to detect that the various bank transfers totalling $5.5 billion were backed by bogus contracts, or didn't take the necessary action to stop them."

How Christine Lagarde, Clinton and Nuland Funded a Massive Ukrainian Ponzi Scheme
When Igor Kolomoisky (image below, centre) financed anti-Russian units operating with the Ukrainian Army in the Ukrainian civil war, he was a staunch ally of Petro Poroshenko's government in Kiev and the Obama Administration's chief Ukraine policymakers, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (left) and her Assistant Secretary for European Affairs, Victoria Nuland (right).
They in turn dominated the voting on the board of directors of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), led by managing director Christine Lagarde. Following the US regime change which installed Poroshenko's regime in the spring of 2014, the IMF voted massive loans for the Ukraine to replace the Russian financing on which the regime of Victor Yanukovich had depended. More than a third of the fresh IMF money was paid out by the National bank of Ukraine (NBU), the state's central bank, into Privatbank controlled by Kolomoisky and his partner, Gennady Bogolyubov.
At the time, investigations of Kolomoisky's business and banking practices, and the special relationship he cultivated with the NBU, reported he was stealing the money through a pyramid of front companies lending each other the IMF cash which was not intended to be repaid. Clinton, Nuland, Lagarde and the IMF staff and board of directors ignored the evidence, as they continued to top up Kolomoisky's pyramid. Criminal investigations by the US Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) were also reported at the time; they were neutralized by their superiors.
A new Delaware state court filing a month ago, triggering new US media reports, appears to signal a shift in US Government policy towards Kolomoisky. Or else, as some Ukrainian policy experts believe, it is a move by US officials to put pressure on the new Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelensky, whom Kolomoisky supported in his successful election campaign to replace Poroshenko.
In the new court papers, front company names and the count and value of US transactions between them, which Privatbank has dug out of its own bank records, is published for the first time. But the scheme itself is not new. It was fully exposed in 2014-2015 in this archive. Nor is it news, as subsequent US media reports claim, that the FBI is investigating Kolomoisky and his US associates for criminal racketeering. The FBI investigation was first reported here.
What is missing is an explanation of why it has taken so long for the Privatbank case against Kolomoisky to surface in the US courts and in the US press. Also missing is a list of the accomplices and co-conspirators in the scheme. These include officials of the IMF, the US and Canadian Governments who knowingly directed billions of dollars into the NBU, from which, as they knew full well at the time, the money went out to Kolomoisky's Privat bank, the largest single Ukrainian recipient of the international cash. At the top of the list of accomplices, immediately subordinate to Clinton, Nuland and Lagarde, are David Lipton, the US deputy managing director at the IMF, and the head of the IMF in Ukraine until 2017, Jerome Vacher.
The plaintiff in the Delaware Court of Chancery is Privatbank; it is represented by the Quinn Emanuel law firm of New York and Washington, DC.

Judy Shelton's Remarkable Attack on the Fed
Judy Shelton is not an Austrian. She appears mostly aligned with the supply-side camp of her longtime friend and mentor Larry Kudlow, who heads the Trump administration's (useless) National Economic Council. And her support for a modified gold standard rests on shaky ground, as she unfortunately favors a rules-based approach under which the Fed would target a dollar price for gold-what Joe Salerno refers to as "price-rule monetarism."
So Shelton doesn't want to End the Fed. But in the parlance of woke America, she's an "ally." Recognizing the limits of central bank omniscience, and challenging its benevolence, are important first steps on the road to redeeming our money and our economy.

Q Research General #8842: United We Stand. July 4, 2019. WWG1WGA!!! The Graveyard Edition
Donald Trump is really scraping the bottom of the barrel when it comes to his remaining Federal Reserve nominees-and he doesn't seem to understand what their individual views on monetary policy actually mean.
Take his latest pick, Judy Shelton, chosen after the attempted appointment of Stephen Moore collapsed following footage of him making incredibly misogynistic and racist comments.
Shelton's views on interest policy and currencies aren't just arcane, destructive and out of the mainstream. They also run directly counter to Trump's own calls for the Fed not to raise interest rates and, most recently, for them to reduce borrowing costs to boost growth and help the administration achieve its elusive 3% growth target.
And they contradict Trump's nationalist approach to economic relations by calling for a new international treaty on currencies that would essentially take drag the world economy back into some kind of gold standard, effectively shoving it totally needlessly into deep depression.
Here's Shelton, who supposedly already reportedly advises Trump informally (whatever that means), in a recent CATO Institute paper on the issue. She's not just criticizing Fed policy from a hawkish standpoint. Shelton is actually questioning our entire monetary regime, the legitimacy of the dollar as a self-standing currency:
"The current monetary regime permits governments to knowingly distort exchange rates under the guise of national monetary autonomy while paying lip service to avoiding trade protectionism," she wrote.
"It empowers central banks to channel the benefits of monetary policy decisions to some people at the expense of others, pitting wealthy investors against average savers. It facilitates cheap government borrowing. The shift toward increasing government influence over economic outcomes is anathema to the free market doctrines propounded by (Milton) Friedman.
"If the United States does nothing to restore a rules-based approach to international monetary relations, our values come into question. We lose credibility by failing to challenge an international monetary anti-system that condones cheating by governments and central banks."
Where to begin picking this apart? The United States created a central bank, and eventually went off the gold standard like the rest of the world, exactly in order to give policymakers greater control over the economy, a new lever to counteract sometimes-vicious business cycle swings.
Shelton is effectively calling for the abdication of monetary policy and a return to a commodity-linked system that she calls "sound money." And there's nothing sound about it.
Had her policies been pursued at the height of the Great Recession, when she was actively advocating them, policymakers would have turned a historic slump into something much worse than the Great Depression, with incalculable economic hard in terms of job and wage losses for American workers. Even now, with the economy purportedly on more solid footing, a Sheltonian Fed would quickly lead to economic contraction.
How would she possibly work with other colleagues at the Fed, whose views are clearly anathema to Shelton?
Would she really stand up for her kooky policies and against the wishes of the top economic advisers to the man who appointed her?
So many questions, so few answers. Let's see if this nomination actually makes it to the Senate banking Committee for a vote.

GOLD STANDARD
In tapping Judy Shelton to become one of two Federal Reserve Board governors, President Donald Trump selected one of the minority of mainstream economists supportive of a return to the gold standard and critical of central bank activity.
Shelton, who serves as the U.S. executive director at the European bank for Reconstruction and Development, wrote as recently as last year in support of pegging the dollar to gold prices.

So…just another reminder regarding the greatest act of treason in American history!
1913!
A demonrat House, demonrat Senate and demonrat president (not deserving of a capital p) committed outright treason, violated the American Constitution, allowing the setting up of a foreign pond-scum central bank and giving control over the American currency - a control given by the Founding Fathers to ONLY the elected government - to those same foreign scumbags and turning 100's of millions of Americans into debt slaves to globalist pigs who feel it is their right to control all the money in the world and if people in any country want to use their own currency…they can borrow off the scum at interest.
Americans must never forget the last 113 years of slavery of ALL Americans orchestrated and implemented by the treasonous demonrat party!
ALL AMERICANS must keep this uppermost in mind - demonrats have always been slave owners. demonrats owned ALL slaves, demonrats created the kkk, demonrats voted against ending slavery, demonrats voted against allowing their slaves to vote, the demonrats voted against giving female slaves the right to vote, or be equal.
Anyone in America, ABSOLUTELY ANYONE who thinks the demonrat slave-owners should be voted for is NOT American!

Italian socialist Sassoli to be president of EU Parliament
Italian socialist David-Maria Sassoli was elected Wednesday to head the European parliament, completing the bloc's drawn-out and at times acrimonious appointment process for its top jobs.
In the second round of voting at the Strasbourg-based legislature, Sassoli received 345 votes, well over the absolute majority required of the 667 available.
Conservative Jan Zahradil from the Czech Republic got 160 votes, while the German Greens leader Ska Keller received 119 and the Spanish left-wing candidate Sira Rego trailed with 43.
The European Parliament has an array of powers within the EU including given its ascent to the others that EU leaders picked for its top jobs.
None are more important, perhaps, than deciding whether to back German defense minister Ursula von der Leyen as the next president of the EU's executive Commission president, replacing Jean-Claude Juncker.
On Tuesday, EU leaders also nominated Belgium's Prime Minister Charles Michel to lead the European Council, which brings together the leaders of the member states. And Frenchwoman Christine Lagarde was tapped to be president of the European central bank and Spain's Josep Borrell the bloc's foreign policy chief.
All were linked in one big compromise arrangement and voting down Sassoli would have upset the political balance of the drawn-out and complicated process.
Sassoli succeeds fellow Italian Antonio Tajani, an Italian EPP Christian Democrat who stepped down on Wednesday.
"You have a strong European Parliament standing by your side," said EPP parliamentary leader Manfred Weber, who is slated to take over in 2-1/2 years based on the leaders' top job agreement.
Sassoli, 63, is a journalist turned politician who has been in the European Parliament since 2009.

US President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday his intention to nominate Christopher Waller, an executive vice president at the Federal Reserve bank of St. Louis, and Judy Shelton, Executive Director at the European bank of Reconstruction & Development, to the Federal Reserve Board.
Waller, who is also an economics scholar, will have to be confirmed by the US Senate before he can join the seven-member governing board of the nation's central bank. If confirmed, he would serve a 14-year term.
Trump also announced his nomination of Shelton, one of his economic advisers with a known penchant for criticizing the Federal Reserve.

IMF Board Selects American David Lipton as Lagarde's Successor
IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde in a statement earlier on Tuesday said she would step down as head of the financial institution during the nomination process to be president of the European central bank (ECB).
The IMF board announced later on Tuesday that First Deputy Managing Director David Lipton will serve as interim leader of the International Monetary Fund, replacing Christine Lagarde.
"We accept Ms. Lagarde's decision to relinquish her IMF responsibilities temporarily during the nomination period […] We have full confidence in First Deputy Managing Director David Lipton as Acting Managing Director of the IMF", the board said in a statement.
EU leaders announced on Tuesday, after days of wrangling, their picks to head key EU institutions.
Christine Lagarde of the IMF was proposed as a candidate for president of the European central bank. Her nomination needs support from the European Parliament and the ECB's Governing Council.
Lagarde's nomination means that she would step down two years before the end of her second five-year term at the helm of the IMF.
"I am honored to have been nominated for the Presidency of the European central bank. In light of this, and in consultation with the Ethics Committee of the IMF Executive Board, I have decided to temporarily relinquish my responsibilities as Managing Director of the IMF during the nomination period", Lagarde said earlier in a statement.
The IMF was established in December 1945, when the first 29 member countries signed its Articles of Agreement.
The IMF currently comprises 189 member states. In order to maintain stability and prevent crises in the international monetary and financial system, the IMF monitors countries' economic policies and economic and financial changes in the world through an official system known as surveillance. The fund makes recommendations to member states and regularly evaluates global prospects in its own publications and reports.
The IMF also provides financial support to members by developing joint programs to stabilize the economy.
The IMF's financial resources mainly consist of the contributions of member quotas to the fund. The size of a quota depends on the size of the country's economy. The amount of money a country can obtain from the IMF, its access limit, is based on its quota. The IMF's highest decision-making body is the Board of Governors, which consists of one governor and one alternate governor for each member state.
The Board of Governors meets once a year at the annual meetings of the IMF and the World bank.
The IMF's 24-member Executive Board, which represents all member countries, oversees the fund's daily work at its headquarters in Washington.

US Market Report
Pretty whip-sawish day that finished at highs of day on strong volume. 'Ain't habbening for ya is it short monkey's? The pre-market saw futures down slightly, nothing major but them a flurry of volume came in and dropped them all to the lows of the day (at the time) then…following headlines that both US VP Pence and Russian President Putin had cancelled events, stocks and bond yields accelerated their declines.
Only to have equity's reverse off of the actual lows of the day and back up to around flat. Pretty good for what the headlines were. It's almost as if the system knew this was coming as the volumes on the open were fairly high and then dropped off to nothing, even with the Pence/Putin headline(s).
Ten year treasury is NOT doing well, below 2% on all of this but it was headed there in pre-market as it had a nice little 'whoosh' down just prior to the opening bell-See Cap#3.
Overall index volume's are not great but since it started out down that is ok, this is what it is and as long as the overall result is achieved all is good.
Cleveland Fed President Loretta Mester, a Federal Reserve policymaker, on Tuesday expressed skepticism that a U.S. interest rate cut is the right move until there are more signs the economy is moving to a truly weaker path and she fails to take into account the recent Global PMI (Purchasing Mgrs. Index) as well as the CME Fed Watch data. Just gas-lighting as usual.
We get the jobs numbers on friday as weds is a half day and usually there has been nothing going on in the markets prior to holidays in previous years, not so now.
The S&P 500 posted 34 new 52-week highs and 1 new lows; the Nasdaq Composite recorded 54 new highs and 45 new lows. This is a trend that says it could be heading down but that is a technical read on it.
When you see lows outpace highs it typically means the 'smart' money is bailing. It does not factor in PANIC (Patriots Are Now In Control).
OPEC is becoming increasingly irrelevant as the production cut deal was extended out for 9 months. Oil has dropped to a 2 week low-go figure See Cap#4-he he.
Eyes on for another false flag with Iran. Gold did very well as it seems the COMEX traders did not take the bail and dump a big portion of the open interest.
Curently at +29.80 for the day. Think someone knows something?. If you took advantage of the dip to add congrats, you are liking it about now-BIG BALLS TOO <3.
Especially since there is an ASS-ton of open (paper) interest still sitting in it. You can track that here: https://www.cmegroup.com/market-data/volume-open-interest/metals-volume.html

Christine LaGarde is now the ECB head and will step down at the IMF, swamp creature personified. It's a man baby! She has always toted the line and was the one who replaced
Dominique Strauss-Kahn when he started making too much noise about how great gold was. Not an angel but he was set-up BIG time with an accusation of rape from a hotel employee who later was found to have a deposit for $100k "appear" in her bank account afterwards-look it up. Hopefully "Mon Benis" is the /fallguy with them. Who cares..she's a blithering idiot who just parrots a line she is given, always has.

German Intelligence Service Report Presents Sputnik and RT As Security Threats As Significant As ISIS And Al-Qaeda
On June 27th, the German intelligence service - Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz (BfV) [Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution] released its annual report on "Protection of the Constitution."
"The Report on the Protection of the Constitution provides information on the nature and scope of anti-constitutional developments, on organizations and groupings pursuing activities that are directed against the free democratic basic order, on espionage against Germany, and on proliferation. The individual events have been analyzed and evaluated under ideological and strategic aspects. Due to the re-orientation of the offices for the protection of the Constitution, this report focuses on violence-oriented activities. The Annual Report on the Protection of the Constitution significantly contributes to raising awareness about the level of the threat posed to state and society."
https://www.verfassungsschutz.de/en/public-relations/publications/annual-reports/annual-report-2018-summary
Briefly it focuses on several things:
Politically motivated crime - be it right- or left-wing extremism, and it appears to be on the rise;
Then it specifically focuses on right-wing extremism, worrisome in this regard was "Anti-Semitism" which "continues to be an area of agitation and ideological identifier for right-wing extremists." However, other hostile stereotypes are also coming into focus, instead of the Jewish in 2018. "Right-wing extremist propaganda is currently dominated by other issues and hostile stereotypes which right-wing extremists believe are more likely to be taken up in the public discourse. These hostile stereotypes include "foreigners", in particular asylum-seekers and Muslims, but also policy-makers. Right-wing extremists focus on what they consider excessive foreign influence and an imagined threat to national identity";
Following is the category of "Reichsbürger" and "Selbstverwalter" (literally, "citizens of the Reich" and "self-administrators") it is a wide-ranging group of people, all of which are deemed "hostile to the state." They were predominantly males, between 40 and 60 years old and had "affinity for weapons," many of which were seized in intelligence and security service operations;
Left-wing extremism is also an issue, having even more supporters than right-wing extremism in Germany. "The reduction in left-wing extremist criminal and violent offences is primarily due to the fact that there were no major events relevant to left-wing groups in 2018 comparable to the G20 summit in Hamburg in 2017or the opening of the new headquarters of the European central bank in Frankfurt (Main) in 2015." According to the BfV the left-wing extremists typically reject any form of outside control;
In terms of Islamism and Islamist terrorism, there has been a shift towards "the violent and/or jihadist field" in recent years. A comparison is made between the report covering 2016 and 2018, and the numbers appear more or less the same;
A significant security threat are foreign extremist efforts, excluding Islamism, many of these are left-wing. Specifically mentioned are the outlawed in Turkey - Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), as well as K), the Revolutionary People's Liberation Party - Front (DHKP-C), and the Ülkücü. "KK because of its violent actions it undertook also in Germany in the past, DHKP-C for its overt commitment to armed struggle in Turkey, which is aimed at destroying the Turkish order of the state by replacing it with a new socialist one, and finally the Ülkücü movement due to its racist ideology";
In the espionage and other intelligence activities things get interesting. "As Russia's relations with many Western countries have cooled, intelligence gathering has become more important.

IMF's Lagarde Picked To Replace Mario Draghi As ECB President
Update: After three days of heated wrangling, the European Council has selected its nominees for four of the bloc's top jobs, breaking a troubling deadlock that had exposed the cracks in the status quo's facade. And the biggest surprise is that the consummate politician and connoisseur of Louis Vuitton handbags, Christine Lagarde, who is currently busy justifying the IMF's crisis fighting budget, has been picked to replace Mario Draghi whose term runs out on Oct 31.
According to the prime minister of Luxembourg, the European Council has nominated Charles Michel to stand for EU Council president, Ursula von der Leyen to lead the EU Commission, Joseph Borrell as high rep for foreign affairs and Lagarde to replace Mario Draghi at the ECB.
Though it's not a guarantee, Lagarde's nomination means it's incredibly likely that she will be confirmed to succeed Draghi. The new leaders of the some of the bloc's most important bodies will officially take over on Nov. 1.
Lagarde's nomination is a sign that the ECB is standing by its commitment to 'diversity' (though her background and views are extremely similar to Draghi's). The ECB had said it wanted a woman to lead the central bank, and now it appears extremely likely that will happen.

Macron proposes Lagarde to head ECB in push to end EU jobs deadlock
President Emmanuel Macron sought to break a deadlock on Tuesday over assigning the EU's top jobs by proposing France's Christine Lagarde, now head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), to lead the European central bank (ECB), diplomatic sources said.
In his proposal, made to tired EU leaders on a third day of arm-wrestling over who will next hold the bloc's top posts, Macron also proposed Germany's Defence Minister Ursula von der Leyen to become president of the European Commission.
The leaders are trying to balance political affiliations, the varying interests of different regions, and an acute lack of women in senior ranks as they seek to fill five top jobs coming vacant later this year.
"Things are going smoothly now," one source said of discussions around the French president's proposal.
The marathon talks have underlined the growing fragmentation in the 28-nation European Union. In a sign of a fresh push for a compromise, the start of the leaders' talks on Tuesday was delayed repeatedly to allow more time for separate consultations.
"Everyone has to understand that they have to shift a little," German Chancellor Angela Merkel told reporters. "I say that to everyone. Then there will be a chance of reaching a deal."
A diplomatic source said Merkel, the EU's most powerful leader, was "very positive" about the proposal of Lagarde, a former center-right French finance minister. She is also likely to welcome the proposal of von der Leyen, who is from Merkel's governing conservatives.
Italy and ex-communist eastern states had blocked Dutch Socialist Frans Timmermans on Monday from taking up the post of Commission president, the highest-profile job in Brussels, though on Tuesday Spain's Socialist acting prime minister, Pedro Sanchez, was still sticking by him.
The Commission supervises EU states' budgets, acts as the bloc's competition watchdog and conducts trade negotiations with third countries.
Its presidency is the key post of the five, who will shape policy in everything from climate to migration and finance for the world's biggest economic bloc and its 500 million people.
The struggle to share out the posts - which also include the new head of the European Parliament, the bloc's top diplomat and the chairman of EU summits - has already taken a toll.
The deadlock has meant the postponement of a separate meeting on Italy's parlous public finances, and is distracting the EU as a nuclear deal it helped to forge with Iran is edging closer to collapse.
The stalemate in decision-making has also cast fresh doubt on whether the EU can take in any new members from the Western Balkans, some of which are being courted by Moscow.
It is highly unusual for a summit to run into a third day, and this round is already the third attempt to decide the jobs.
The inability to reach consensus bolsters criticism from anti-establishment nationalists and undermines the EU's image as it faces multiple external challenges, from the United States, Russia, Iran and China among others.
If Macron's proposal gets approved, it would be the first time that women have ever been at the helm of the Commission and the ECB, which steers the economies of the 19 member states of the single-currency euro zone.

Greatest Psyop Ever
The United States of America during the 20th century was made the victim of what is perhaps the greatest psyop of all time.
The three key events that kicked off this massive conspiracy to take over the USA are as follows:
1 Federal Reserve Act of 1913
2 Bolshevik Revolution of 1917
(??????? ??????? - Red October)
3 World War II
The most critical of these monumental cataclysms was the establishment of the Federal Reserve System as the central bank of the United States. Only when the funding of any conspiratorial plot is sufficient can it be executed without substantial impediment or unwanted exposure. Enough money can buy anything, yes?
With the passing of the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, the International banking Cartel made sure that the newly established US CORPORATION was completely owned and operated by the Black Nobility before the carefully planned communist plot to take over the American Republic was launched in earnest.
It's crucial to understand that the Federal Reserve bank (FRB) is neither federal nor does it have any reserves. Federal Reserve Notes are the original funny money without an ounce of real backing, not too unlike MONOPOLY money (a "note" is an instrument of indebtedness, not a hard asset). See The Federal Reserve System: It's not "federal" and there's no "reserve"
In fact, the FRB is a transnational financial institution whose secret ownership is both foreign and domestic. Even the domestic owners are beholden to foreign interests which include the British Crown, the Vatican, and especially the International banking Cartel that is covertly controlled by the Black Nobility. Because of this well-hidden reality, the USA has been run by sinister forces and malevolent powers that have no interest whatsoever in the welfare of the American people. In fact, these highly deceitful and pernicious entities forever work against "the land of the free and the home of the brave…"
"…By focusing on communism for so many decades with an abiding fear and felt trepidation and collective apprehension, the U.S. citizenry unwittingly created a self-fulfilling prophecy. Eventually the much feared boogeyman shows up at your door, but not necessarily in the way that was envisioned. Communism has appeared in disguise as the Democrat Party. This eventuality is precisely what the perpetrators of this fastidiously engineered scheme had in mind when they commenced the Great Game against Russia centuries ago. See: STRATFOR Chief Reveals Zio-Anglo-American Plot For World Domination"
"Throughout the Cold War, the U.S. citizenry was bombarded by threats of Soviet (and Sino) communism supposedly coming from Asia. Little did the body politic realize that the greatest communist threats were lurking within. In fact, the barbarians were not at the gate, the barbarians were inside the gate during the entire 20th century, as they are right now.
Because of the intensive and unrelenting propaganda that the Western governments threw at their citizenries over decades, the targeted populace became the unsuspecting victims of an immense and carefully crafted mind-control program. This conspiracy to exert malicious influence on the collective American psyche was formalized under the rubric of London's Tavistock Institute. The vast amount of the purposeful propaganda and divisive disinformation was initially manufactured and coordinated under the rubric of Tavistock…."

US President Barack Obama Friday nominated former Israeli central bank governor and renowned economist Stanley Fischer as vice chair of the Federal Reserve, completing a shakeup of the board's leadership.
The president also named former Under-secretary of the Treasury Lael Brainard to join the Fed board, and re-nominated current Fed governor Jerome Powell for a full term, setting up a full team for incoming chairwoman Janet Yellen.
Yellen, the current vice chair, will take over from outgoing Chairman Ben Bernanke on February 1, after her nomination was confirmed by the Senate last week.
Each of the new nominees will need Senate confirmation, and although all three are well-qualified and widely respected, congressional politics could end up slowing that process.
"These three distinguished individuals have the proven experience, judgment and deep knowledge of the financial system to serve at the Federal Reserve during this important time for our economy," Obama said.
Fischer, 70 and a dual US and Israeli citizen, is one of the world's most respected active monetary economists. He led Israel's central bank from 2005 to last year and before that held senior positions at the World bank and the International Monetary Fund.
He was a professor of Bernanke, as well as European central bank chief Mario Draghi, at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He was reportedly considered by the White House as a replacement for Bernanke.

Stanley Fischer Says Powell Will Be Out If Trump Is Re-Elected in 2020
ormer Federal Reserve Vice Chairman Stanley Fischer predicted President Donald Trump won't renominate Jerome Powell for another term as the U.S. central bank's chairman if re-elected, undercutting the Fed's autonomy.
"That will lead to very different monetary policy, so the Fed is not fully independent of politics," Fischer said on Sunday at a talk in Israel.
By criticizing Fed policy, Trump created "a really awkward thing" for Powell, Fischer said. He added that he's been in a similar hotseat before, having had a tough time maintaining central bank independence when he was governor of the bank of Israel from 2005 to 2013.
Trump has frequently harangued Powell, his handpicked nominee, for raising interest rates and has accused him of not doing enough to bolster the economy.
Nothing to Lose
Fischer said Trump has nothing to lose from accusing the Fed of fueling a recession by raising interest rates at its December meeting: He can either claim to be correct if there's a recession or go quiet if the prediction doesn't pan out.
"What the president has understood is that he can have a one-way bet by announcing what he thinks they should have done," Fischer said Sunday at a workshop at the Interdisciplinary Center Herzliya. "He has a perfect option and he will use it, and he's much more sophisticated in the media, I think, than previous presidents have been."
Fischer, appointed as the Fed's vice chairman by President Barack Obama in 2014, resigned early effective October 2017, citing personal reasons.
Fischer also said there was a good chance the Fed wouldn't have raised borrowing costs in December if Trump had been less vocal, adding: "It's not a desirable thing to have the president pronouncing on monetary policy."
When it comes to assaults on central bank independence, Fischer knows whence he speaks. When bank of Israel governor, he said, "I found central bank independence to be a very difficult thing" to handle.
Not that he spoke of being pressured on policy matters. Rather, he said, he was sometimes asked to weigh in on matters he couldn't professionally address.

EU Locked in Internal Squabble over Who Gets Unelected Presidencies
BRUSSELS (AP) - European Union leaders launched a new round of talks Sunday in desperate hopes of producing a breakthrough in a diplomatic fight over who should fill top leadership posts at the 28-nation bloc.
Leaders of member countries have so far twice failed to make the key appointments, which include picking a replacement for Jean-Claude Juncker as president of the EU's powerful executive arm, the European Commission, and for Donald Tusk as head of the agenda-setting European Council.
Some discussed the roster of upcoming vacancies, which by November will include the EU's top diplomat, the president of the European Parliament and the chief of the European central bank, on the sidelines of the Group of 20 summit in Japan that concluded Saturday.
"There were a number of European countries in Osaka that discussed the issue, but there are no concrete compromises," Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte told reporters as he arrived in Brussels for Sunday's talks.
Asked about likely candidates for the commission job, Rutte said "That's a moving picture."
"You think that one candidate or another possibly has the best chance and it keeps shifting," he added.
French President Emmanuel Macron called for a "spirit of compromise and above all ambition" as the leaders look to name what he described as "the new Team Europe."
"There should be two men and two women" candidates for four of the five posts up for grabs in coming weeks, he said.
Macron, like Rutte, declined to say who he was backing.
The discussions about who should take the EU's helm for the next five years and beyond could go well into the night, if not through it, warned Tusk, who will chair the meeting and said he would keep the leaders overnight and through early Monday if necessary.
Tusk met with party and government leaders Sunday ahead of the summit. He wants nominations to be wrapped up soon, seeking to prevent further erosion of public confidence in the EU amid Brexit uncertainty and intra-bloc divisions over managing migration.
The task will not be easy. The appointments must take into account political affiliation, geography - balancing east and west, north and south - population size and gender. The leaders of EU institutions are supposed to impartially represent the interests of all member nations on the global stage and in Brussels.
But patriotism sets in as officials from individual member countries push candidates from their homelands to rule the roost of the bloc's population of 500 million and the world's biggest economic alliance.
There was hope at the leaders' June 20-21 summit that more time would bring views closer over who will replace Juncker at the commission. German Chancellor Angela Merkel backs German conservative Manfred Weber, whose centre-right European People's Party is the largest political group in the European Parliament but lost seats in the EU elections in May.
Macron has suggested Weber lacks the political and government experience for such a high-profile role. Weber could still be considered for the head of the European Parliament which is the EU's only elected institution.
"We are on a path that may make it possible to reach a result," Merkel said in Japan before setting off for the EU summit.

Q Research General #8789: Will Chairman Kim Come Shake Hands at the DMZ? Edition Edition
Greatest Psyop Ever
The United States of America during the 20th century was made the victim of what is perhaps the greatest psyop of all time.
The three key events that kicked off this massive conspiracy to take over the USA are as follows:
Federal Reserve Act of 1913
Bolshevik Revolution of 1917
World War II
The most critical of these monumental cataclysms was the establishment of the Federal Reserve System as the central bank of the United States. Only when the funding of any conspiratorial plot is sufficient can it be executed without substantial impediment or unwanted exposure. Enough money can buy anything, yes?
With the passing of the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, the International banking Cartel made sure that the newly established US CORPORATION was completely owned and operated by the Black Nobility before the carefully planned communist plot to take over the American Republic was launched in earnest.
It's crucial to understand that the Federal Reserve bank (FRB) is neither federal nor does it have any reserves. Federal Reserve Notes are the original funny money without an ounce of real backing, not too unlike MONOPOLY money (a "note" is an instrument of indebtedness, not a hard asset). See The Federal Reserve System: It's not "federal" and there's no "reserve"
In fact, the FRB is a transnational financial institution whose secret ownership is both foreign and domestic. Even the domestic owners are beholden to foreign interests which include the British Crown, the Vatican, and especially the International banking Cartel that is covertly controlled by the Black Nobility. Because of this well-hidden reality, the USA has been run by sinister forces and malevolent powers that have no interest whatsoever in the welfare of the American people. In fact, these highly deceitful and pernicious entities forever work against "the land of the free and the home of the brave…"
"…By focusing on communism for so many decades with an abiding fear and felt trepidation and collective apprehension, the U.S. citizenry unwittingly created a self-fulfilling prophecy. Eventually the much feared boogeyman shows up at your door, but not necessarily in the way that was envisioned. Communism has appeared in disguise as the Democrat Party. This eventuality is precisely what the perpetrators of this fastidiously engineered scheme had in mind when they commenced the Great Game against Russia centuries ago. See: STRATFOR Chief Reveals Zio-Anglo-American Plot For World Domination"
"Throughout the Cold War, the U.S. citizenry was bombarded by threats of Soviet (and Sino) communism supposedly coming from Asia. Little did the body politic realize that the greatest communist threats were lurking within. In fact, the barbarians were not at the gate, the barbarians were inside the gate during the entire 20th century, as they are right now.
Because of the intensive and unrelenting propaganda that the Western governments threw at their citizenries over decades, the targeted populace became the unsuspecting victims of an immense and carefully crafted mind-control program. This conspiracy to exert malicious influence on the collective American psyche was formalized under the rubric of London's Tavistock Institute. The vast amount of the purposeful propaganda and divisive disinformation was initially manufactured and coordinated under the rubric of Tavistock…."

The Communist Plot to Take Over America Proceeds Unimpeded Even Under Trump
The Greatest Psyop of the 2oth Century
Enters the Final and Perilous Phase
in the Third Millennium
There's an old adage that's been oft-repeated throughout the East over the millennia.
"You become like that which you dwell upon."
In other words, if you focus on warmongers and waging war, you eventually will become a war-maker.
Conversely, if you concentrate your energies on making peace, you become a peacemaker.
The more energy and emotion that is attached to your pursuit, the greater the likelihood you will manifest the object of your attention in your own life.
It's important to note that this same "Law of the Universe" is as applicable to the individual as it is to the collective.
As an illustration, because the attention of the American people was cynically directed at COMMUNISM for so many years, it became concretized in our psyches over generations. For many, Soviet communism became inextricably connected to a future World War III, an apocalyptic nuclear war and/or Armageddon.

Q Research General #8783: Friday FLOTUS Edition
After Goldman Sachs, Ally Financial cut interest rates, savers hit brick wall
nice way to piss off your customer base.
Goldman Sachs Opens a New Window. Group Inc. and Ally Financial Inc. beat the Federal Reserve to a rate cut this week, as the U.S. central bank weighs whether or not to lower the benchmark federal funds rate.
On Thursday, according to the Wall Street Journal, Goldman told customers that it was lowering the rate on its Marcus high-yield savings account to 2.15 percent from 2.25 percent, following Ally's decision on Tuesday to lower its online-savings rate to 2.1 percent from 2.2 percent, an Ally spokesperson confirmed to FOX Business.
Goldman did not immediately respond to a FOX Business request for comment.
It was the first time since October 2013 that Ally lowered rates.
"After a period of increases, interest rates are on the downswing and are projected to fall further," an Ally spokesperson said on Friday, noting that, "Even with this change, our rate remains at 20-times the national average."
The Federal Reserve began, after a prolonged period of net neutral rates, raising interest rates in 2015. But after nine increases, policymakers signaled during their latest meeting in June that a rate cut could be on the horizon, thanks to concerns about slowing global growth and a U.S.-China trade spat.
"The reason you may see these lowering of deposit rates is the three-month treasury has moved down, and it was upwardly sloping three months to 10 years, eight weeks ago," President of the Federal Reserve bank of Dallas Robert Kaplan said on Friday.
Currently, traders are pricing in a 100 percent chance of a Fed rate during the upcoming July meeting, which is slated to take place at the end of the month.
thanks captain obvious
Kaplan told FOX Business' Maria Bartiromo during an interview that there's a bit of an echo chamber effect: Essentially, banks think the U.S. central bank will lower rates, so they're doing so preemptively.

Gov't plans to transfer central bank reserve funds to budget
The Finance and Treasury Ministry is working on a regulation that would allow the transfer of the central bank's reserve funds kept in Turkish Liras to the budget, state-run Anadolu Agency has reported.
Economy officials in Ankara told the agency that the planned regulation foresees changes to article 60 of the central bank Law and that the regulations will be submitted to parliament for approval.
According to the sources, the new regulation will remove a provision in the respective article which stipulates that 20 percent of the annual net profit of the central bank "should be allocated to the reserve fund."

Morning Market Report
Eyes on G-20..The big news from yesterday is that the FRB gave a pass to ALL the banks in it's "stress" tests. Speechless really.
How they are able to do this is fairly simple. They allow these banks to make a choice as to how it determines what asset class is included in 'Muh stress test'. If the bank(s) chose to designate an asset as 'hold-to-maturity' then the FRB test
does not include that in the classification of what they run the test metrics on-they simply move it off the books into that bucket.
So…of course you see the game that is being played here. I have not drilled down the report but trust pepe-it has always been like this and was called out by many
at the start of this process being implemented. It has always been rigged for a positive result.
Especially Deutsche bank and then next Wells Fartgo-how those bloated pieces of shit lasted through 2008 crash-and that was a carefully
planned centralized 'event' as well-one will never know. Pepe does know why they lasted but whole-heartedly disagrees they were allowed to continue the game. Thank you Nancy Pelosi and Hank Paulson

U.S. equity futures rose on Friday amid growing caution ahead of a crucial meeting between Presidents Donald Trump and Xi Jinping and the release of inflation data that could feed into the Federal Reserve's decision on interest rates next month.
POTUS wants a weaker dollar(yes we need this) to help boost exports, and is counting on the Federal Reserve to help make that happen. But Fed Chair Jerome Powell has made clear it's not his job-(newsflash buddy-it IS since you print them via treasury like toilet paper-well you did anyway-kek)
Another 'issue' currently brewing is the H20 asset management contined fuckery (Watch the Water). This firm has not issued a freeze or gate on redemptions however they have still done it in a way that makes it's investors think twice before filling out the paperwork
to initiate this process. Let me briefly explain: for years most big banks, institutions and firms have been allowed to carry assets on it's own books with a value determined by a 'mark-to-model' metric.
What this means is a set of reports is generated, in-house, that looks at the values of these things and assigns a worth of whatever they decide it is. This way of accounting needs to go in a big way. It needs to return to
mark-to-market-which means you gather price inputs from real transactions that habben in the actual markets of the world and not just some made up value decided by a bunch of douche-bag fund or asset managers who know that if they used
mark-to-market the value of said asset(s) would be far lower. So what they have done is start to lower the values of it's assets by writing down the mark-to-model docs or use a variation of mark-to-market-know way to know for sure unless you see the docs.
This plays on the psyche of the individual wanting money back. It was worth 'X' amount for so long and now it's worth less so I'm sure the phone-calls would go something like "well we certainly don't want to lose your business but this is what it is worth now,
but hang on for a bit as it will most likely begin to rise again so TRUST US…we know what is best". Many will believe this and keep the money there because it just HAS to be worth what they said it was a few short weeks ago.

Gold and economic freedom
Editor's note - It may surprise more than a few gold devotees to learn they have an ideological friend in none other than Federal Reserve Board chairman Alan Greenspan. Starting in the 1950s, in fact, Greenspan was a stalwart member of Ayn Rand's intellectual inner circle. A self-designated "objectivist", Rand preached a strongly libertarian view, applying it to politics and economics, as well as to religion and popular culture. Under her influence, Greenspan wrote for the first issue of what was to become the widely-circulated Objectivist Newsletter. When Gerald Ford appointed him to the Council of Economic Advisors, Greenspan invited Rand to his swearing-in ceremony. He even attended her funeral in 1982. In 1967, Rand published her non-fiction book, Capitalism, the Unknown Ideal. In it, she included Gold and Economic Freedom, the essay by Alan Greenspan which appears below. Drawing heavily from Murray Rothbard's much longer The Mystery of banking, Greenspan argues persuasively in favor of a gold standard and against the concept of a central bank.
"In the absence of the gold standard, there is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation There is no safe store of value. If there were, the government would have to make its holding illegal, as was done in the case of gold. If everyone decided, for example, to convert all his bank deposits to silver or copper or any other good, and thereafter declined to accept checks as payment for goods, bank deposits would lose their purchasing power and government-created bank credit would be worthless as a claim on goods. The financial policy of the welfare state requires that there be no way for the owners of wealth to protect themselves."
"This is the shabby secret of the welfare statists' tirades against gold. Deficit spending is simply a scheme for the confiscation of wealth. Gold stands in the way of this insidious process. It stands as a protector of property rights. If one grasps this, one has no difficulty in understanding the statists' antagonism toward the gold standard."

Q Research General #8750: Adm Rogers has brass balls! Savior of the world! Edition
ECB To Italian Government: Your Gold Is Ours
As the squabbling over Italy's populist government's plans to blow out its budget deficit to finance an agenda of tax cuts and social spending (including a 'citizen's income' that's essentially UBI-lite) crowded the headlines, the issue of who owns the 2,451 metric tons of gold reserves held by the bank of Italy has been quietly ignored - at least, outside of Italy.
But that might be about to change.
On Tuesday, the ECB asked the League, the dominant party in Italy's ruling coalition, to remove a reference to the bank of Italy holding gold as an "exclusive title of deposit" according to Bloomberg.
Translation? If Italy is not allowed to have title to Italian gold, then Italy's gold now belongs to the ECB.
Today's escalation over Italy's gold "title" comes two months after the WSJ reported that Italy's ruling populists pushed ahead with efforts to seize control of the central bank and its gold reserves. Complaining that hundreds of thousands of small individual investors lost billions of dollars after several Italian banks failed in recent years, the current Italian government depicted the central bank as a symbol of a technocratic elite aloof from the needs of ordinary Italians.
"We need a change of course at the bank of Italy if we think about what happened in the last years," said Deputy Prime Minister Luigi Di Maio, leader of the 5 Star Movement.
Shortly thereafter, 5 Star lawmakers asked parliament to pass two draft laws.
One law would instruct the central bank's owners, most of them private banks , to sell their shares to the Italian Treasury at prices from the 1930s.The other law would declare the Italian people to be the owners of the bank of Italy's reserve of 2451.8 metric tons of gold, worth around $102 billion at current prices.
"The gold belongs to the Italians, not to the bankers," said Giorgia Meloni, leader of the Brothers of Italy, a far-right opposition party that supports both bills. "We are ready to battle everywhere in Italy and to bring Italians to the streets if necessary."
So far there has been no fighting but if indeed Draghi just told Italy that its gold now belongs to the Frankfurt-based central bank we expect that to change (We discussed the proposed laws in more detail here).
Meanwhile, yesterday Italian BTP yields tumbled to their lowest level in a year as investors breathed a sigh of relief following reports that the European Commission would hold off on kick-starting an "excessive debt proceeding" - a process that would likely result in Italy becoming the first eurozone constituent to face a fine (potentially extending into the billions of euros) for violating the bloc's stringent fiscal rules.
According to reports, the EU was holding off to give the Italian government more time to try and come up with a compromise. Meanwhile, both the League and the Five Star Movement have trudged ahead with a plan to have the Italian Treasury and bank of Italy issue mini-BOTs - bonds that ostensibly would help the Italian government settle overdue payments, but which critics have denounced as a parallel currency. ECB President Mario Draghi denounced the plan as a step toward launching a parallel currency.

Q Research General #8746: Habbenings Everywhere Edition
Gold prices near ?35,000. Five reasons why prices are rising
1) Hareesh V, head of commodity research at Geojit Financial Services, says that the growing tensions in the Middle East and dovish comments from the major central banks have boosted the yellow metal's safe haven appeal. The latest trigger for gold's rally is US Federal Reserve's signal that it may cut rates as early as next month to combat economic risks. The European central bank also said last week it would ease policy again if inflation fails to accelerate, echoing other central banks which have said they may cut rates to fend off economic slowdowns.
2) "A weak dollar, which plummeted to a three-month low on expectations of an imminent interest rate cut by the US Federal Reserve, also assisted the sentiments," he added. Lower interest rates help gold by pushing down bond yields, reducing the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding bullion. They also tend to weaken the dollar, making dollar-priced gold more affordable for buyers with other currencies.
3) Market expect Sandip Sabharwal believes that there is further upside left in gold. "One of the key reasons is that today gold is very under-owned in investor portfolios. More and more allocations will happen as price moves up and as people start recommending gold as an asset class."
4) Gold prices have also been supported by central banks buying the metal at the fastest rate in decades to diversify their reserves. A Motilal Oswal report citing World Gold Council data, said that global central banks are among the world's largest investors in gold, with total holdings of more than 30,000 tonnes as on February 2019.
5) Some analysts however caution that the increase in speculative positioning, however, leaves gold vulnerable to a correction if investors reverse their positions. Against that backdrop, speculative investors have piled in. Their bets on higher gold prices on the COMEX exchange now outnumber wagers on lower prices by 189,681 contracts, the most in more than a year. That is equivalent to almost 19 million ounces, worth some $26 billion.That could be triggered by a positive outcome in trade talks between Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping at a G20 meeting on June 28-29, or healthy US economic data that would reduce the likelihood of rate cuts, said Standard Chartered analyst Suki Cooper. Global exchange-traded funds (ETFs) meanwhile have added more than 2 million ounces to their holdings since early May, helping push prices higher.

Q Research General #8745: We Are In Ops Mode Edition
Morning Market report
Japan was fairly flat to up (see Cap#2)- futures and pre-market equity's are very thin and can be pushed in any direction very easily.China still has it's massive time bomb working on it and was lower.
Moar and moar will be needed and with increasing frequency. If they just did the deal the markets there would have it's adjustment to it and it would begin to clean out some of this crap.
I see why they are stalling as we (FRB) would not allow this in response to our markets coming apart in 2008 into early 2009-remember green shoots?
Some Headlines
100-Year Bond Yielding Just Over 1% Shows Investors' Desperation
Austria's 2117 yield has dropped 100 basis points since launch. Bonds have rallied, with German yields hitting record lows.
German 10-year bonds now yield -0.32%, close to a record low, with the prospect of more easing coming from the European central bank adding support.
https://www.bloomberg.com//news/articles/2019-06-25/austria-weighs-another-century-bond-for-yield-starved-investors?
love the spin on this, this is two-fold but the emphasis is squarely on the ECB (nee B.I.S.) needing to push out moar paper to support it's crack habit.
for several years it was speculated that our treasury was going to issue 50 or 100 year bonds however I do no think the 100 year is going to habben, the 50 possibly.
Asset Managers Drubbed by Ever Rising Costs as Fees Drop
Expenses have outpaced or matched revenue growth, report shows. Performance alone isn't going to win the day, consultant says
Overall, expenses have outpaced or matched revenue growth during the past four to five years, while aggregate fees declined almost 20%, the study found. Industry revenue expanded only 8% from 2015 to 2018, reaching $289 billion. By contrast, assets jumped 20% during that period to $71.8 trillion.
https://www.bloomberg.com//news/articles/2019-06-25/asset-managers-being-drubbed-by-ever-rising-costs-as-fees-drop?
this is due to a shrinking amount of turnover in the markets, less trading = less fee's collected, the big boys still earn what they need on consultations, and 2/20 fee's they extract doing turn and burn (constant shuffling for little or no reason) along with fee's for IPO's and like.
Global Stocks, S&P Futures Hit By Iran Tensions, G20 Fears
US equity futures dipped in the red, following European and Asian shares lower, amid renewed Iran tensions and trade jitters ahead of this week's G-20 meeting.
while the risk of more easing from the Federal Reserve and its central bank peers inflated gold to six-year highs, its price surging as high as $1,440 and stoked demand for safe-harbor currencies like the yen and Swiss franc and pushed bitcoin to new highs.
rush to "safety" in FIAT currency….good luck with that-you'll need it. They have to do something though.
Treasury futures rose and most global stock markets slipped as the increasing Gulf tensions rattled investors.
Oil steadied after rallying almost 8% in three days as investors weighed mixed signals from the White House on Iran and signs that an extension of the OPEC+ production cuts may not be assured.
Chinese banks led financials lower following a U.S. media report that some of them were involved in a probe on alleged violation of sanctions against North Korea. Most markets in the region fell, with China and Hong Kong driving losses. Japan's Topix closed 0.3% lower as the yen strengthened against the dollar. Looking at today's events, there are no fewer than five Fed policy makers speaking on Tuesday, including Chair Jerome Powell, and markets assume they will stick with the recent dovish message.
the owners of the FRB will make sure they do.

Fix this problem and all
other problems will sort
themselves out
(We can't say we weren't warned)
The founders were very specific on this point: They clearly understood that "money" had to be based on something of intrinsic value to avoid fraud in the monetary system.
They selected gold and silver coin and named it as such in our Constitution:
"No State shall make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts;"
We are currently living beyond our means as a society.
We are allowing desperate, destitute people to flood into our country.
We are exporting our jobs and manufacturing base to nations historically hostile to us and we have debased our currency and allowed criminal fraud to run rampant in our banking and financial systems.
At some point a certain inevitably will present itself clearly.
How long until this harbinger arrives and who will suffer the consequences?
Alan Greenspan explains it in this short six page summary
Gold and economic freedom
Editor's note - It may surprise more than a few gold devotees to learn they have an ideological friend in none other than Federal Reserve Board chairman Alan Greenspan. Starting in the 1950s, in fact, Greenspan was a stalwart member of Ayn Rand's intellectual inner circle. A self-designated "objectivist", Rand preached a strongly libertarian view, applying it to politics and economics, as well as to religion and popular culture. Under her influence, Greenspan wrote for the first issue of what was to become the widely-circulated Objectivist Newsletter. When Gerald Ford appointed him to the Council of Economic Advisors, Greenspan invited Rand to his swearing-in ceremony. He even attended her funeral in 1982. In 1967, Rand published her non-fiction book, Capitalism, the Unknown Ideal. In it, she included Gold and Economic Freedom, the essay by Alan Greenspan which appears below. Drawing heavily from Murray Rothbard's much longer The Mystery of banking, Greenspan argues persuasively in favor of a gold standard and against the concept of a central bank.
"In the absence of the gold standard, there is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation There is no safe store of value. If there were, the government would have to make its holding illegal, as was done in the case of gold. If everyone decided, for example, to convert all his bank deposits to silver or copper or any other good, and thereafter declined to accept checks as payment for goods, bank deposits would lose their purchasing power and government-created bank credit would be worthless as a claim on goods. The financial policy of the welfare state requires that there be no way for the owners of wealth to protect themselves."
"This is the shabby secret of the welfare statists' tirades against gold. Deficit spending is simply a scheme for the confiscation of wealth. Gold stands in the way of this insidious process. It stands as a protector of property rights. If one grasps this, one has no difficulty in understanding the statists' antagonism toward the gold standard."

-Henry Ford
The few who can understand the system will be either so interested in its profits, or so dependent on its favors, that there will be no opposition from that class, while, on the other hand, that great body of people, mentally incapable of comprehending the tremendous advantage that Capital derives from the system, will bear its burden without complaint and, perhaps, without even suspecting that the system is inimical to their interests."

Q Research General #8743: Project Veritas Blows the Lid off Google Agenda Edition
Part 2 on HRC and U1
https://legalinsurrection.com/2018/04/irans-weak-rial-causes-restriction-on-foreign-currency-amount-change-to-euro-as-reporting-currency/Wednesday, April 11, 2018 at 1:00pm
The slump comes at a time when many believe President Trump will scrap the Iranian nuclear deal put into place by President Obama. Trump's final decision will come in early in May. For the past several months, "Iranians have rushed to buy hard currencies and [gold] coins in recent months" due to the possibility of America leaving the deal.
Iranian regime, has reported that the government has revealed a plan to change to the Euro "as its official reporting foreign currency" as the country's rial continues to plummet.
The rial's problems have caused citizens to rush to the banks to take out US dollars. This week, 60,000 rials could be purchased for just one American dollar.
Other causes include "political feuding" and some have accused traders "of deliberately driving the currency lower with speculative bots."
The old official rate was costly to the government, and therefore limited to imports of selected goods that were deemed necessary.
Just this week the government said it could no longer offer it to students studying abroad, and they now have to buy foreign currency from the open market to pay for their tuition.
Then the central bank of Iran announced the change from the dollar to the Euro.
[Iran and Turkey] reached an agreement to trade in local currencies instead of the dollar or Euro. Medhi Kasrraeipour from the CBI said this route is only natural since "the use of the dollar is banned for Iran and traders are literally using alternative currencies in transactions." On March 1, Iran officially blocked imports priced in the US dollar.
[Russia is also thinking about entering a deal with Iran and Turkey] to receive oil payments in local currencies. Russian Energy Minister Aleksandr Novak said that, "There is a common understanding that we need to move towards the use of national currencies in our settlements. There is a need for this, as well as the wish of the parties. This concerns both Turkey and Iran - we are considering an option of payment in national currencies with them. This requires certain factors in financial and economic sector and in banking sector."
"I want to convert my rials into dollars and put them under my pillow," said Yadollah, a 31-year-old van driver who sold his car last week and hoped to use 750m rials to buy more than $17,000. "The future is gloomy and it will become horrifying after the US withdraws from the nuclear accord. I cannot afford to keep rials."

[The exchange] highlights the serious difficulties that the U.S. and [five] other world powers face in negotiating a detailed final agreement in an environment of [deep]{state?} distrust.
Turkey's prime minister said today that there was no need for fresh UN sanctions against Iran following an agreement under which Tehran would ship more than a tonne of its enriched uranium to Turkey as part an exchange deal. (source z)
"There is no Iran agreement, but rather a statement of principles that has to be fleshed out," said Linton Brooks, a former U.S. nuclear weapons chief and the final negotiator of the first strategic arms limitation agreement between the U.S. and Russia. "Nothing is agreed to until everything is agreed to."
The U.S. made a number of major concessions in the proposed agreement,
"The present framework political [deal is better than no deal] (future/past?)," [Alexei Arbatov], a Russian arms control expert whose work is published by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, wrote on the endowment's website. A failure of the negotiations, he said, "would make the [new war] in the [Persian Gulf] inevitable, with dire implications for international security and the nonproliferation regime."
Under the preliminary deal, Iran would mothball two-thirds of its newer high-speed centrifuges that enrich uranium, going from 19,000 devices to 6,104 older machines. It would reduce its stockpile of low-enriched uranium from 4,500 pounds to 136 pounds and not build any new facilities for enrichment for 15 years.
Forcing Iran to rely on the old machines should impose powerful restraints on Iran's ability to race to complete a bomb in the next decade "and likely beyond," [Jodi Joseph], a former nonproliferation aide in the Obama White House, wrote in an email.

So…the demonrats are getting all orgasmic about "slavery" reparations are they?
Well, I have some "reparations" that really matter and that can have a very positive effect on America and the world.
1913! The time of the greatest treason in American history. A demonrat house, demonrat senate and demonrat "president" turned 100's of millions of Americans into debt slaves to foreign and domestic globalist scum by committing treason, violating the American Constitution, allowing the setup of a foreign scumbag owned "central" bank and giving control over the American currency and economy to those globalist scum and lining demonrat pockets continuously as long as they never challenge the right of the globalist scum to keep Americans as debt slaves.
So the demonrats should now pay reparations to not only the ancestors of today's "never even been to Africa" African-Americans to the tune of many billions - directly from the demonrats own pockets - but also to every single American for the treason committed BY the demonrats. I can see that to be in the hundreds of billions. No problem, we'll just seize every penny in the bank accounts of every demonrat - after all, they are registered, just like the registered demonrats that 85% of American "journalists???" have registered as the cult to which they belong.
If there isn't enough money in the demonrat coffers and demonrat bank accounts we can just garnishee their wages until the retire and then seize their pensions to pay the reparations to ALL Americans damaged by the treason of the demonrats over the last 106 years!
And just as an aside…I presume the demonrats are expecting their "slave" reparations to come from American taxpayer dollars (since the demonrats NEVER want to use their own money since socialists always want to use other people's money). Well, aren't today's' African-Americans also taxpayers? Are the demonrats going to go through the tax rolls to make sure not even one penny of the tax dollars of even one African-American are being used to pay "reparations" to other African-Americans?
Look up insanity in the dictionary and I feel that soon all one will need to see is a photo of any group of demonrats or their sub-intellect wastes-of-oxygen cult-groupies.
And while we're at it, another aside:
Is pocahontas going to begin demanding reparations from every American living and dead to give to the ancestors/descendants of the millions of "First People" who were living on their land and who were subsequently murdered by the invaders? Will pocahontas pay extra? Will pocahontas receive a 1 in a couple thousand percentile reparation from herself?

give this a read
Blacks were very few in number in Honolulu and he was the first African student at the University of Hawaii."
Meeting Stanley Ann Dunham
A year after Obama Sr. enrolled at the university, he met Stanley Ann Dunham, a 17-year-old from Kansas who was studying Russian.
Obama Sr. told Dunham that he had divorced Kezia Aoko, his wife in Africa, but that wasn't true. He also did not reveal that he had had two children with Aoko, who, like Obama Sr., was a member of the Luo ethnic group.
If Obama the president had had [Barack Obama Sr.] as a father, I think it's fair to say that he wouldn't be the president.
Biographer Sally H. Jacobs
"The thing you have to understand about this is that it was deeply rooted in Luo culture," says Jacobs. "Divorce wasn't common.
Later on, Obama Sr. told immigration officials that he thought of himself as divorced in Kenya before he arrived in the United States. Jacobs says that Obama Sr.'s immigration files also show that Obama Sr. and Dunham may have considered putting President Obama up for adoption before he was born
"Obama [Sr.] makes it less than a year," says Jacobs. "He wasn't fired exactly, but he was not asked back. So he left Shell and gets another potentially terrific job - this one at the central bank of Kenya. Again, he runs into trouble within months. He shows up late, he drinks on the job, he has to borrow money and he is asked to leave."

Obama Sr. returned to the U.S. in 1971 because his life was falling apart. A third wife was planning to leave him, he had no job and he had suffered massive injuries in a car accident. He spent a short amount of time with his son Barack Jr. in Hawaii and then returned to Kenya, where a second car crash cost him his legs. In 1982, Obama Sr. was in a third car accident and died from his injuries.
Only his firstborn son, Abong'o Malik Obama, a volatile fifty-three-year-old who lives with his three wives near the family's compound in western Kenya, has not written a book about his father-at least not yet.
Malik recently made headlines of his own when he took a nineteen-year old schoolgirl as his third wife. He has also irritated some Obama family members when he built a small mosque on his property that the steady parade of tourists heading to the Obama compound pass daily. Some Obamas worry that such a glaring symbol of the family's Muslim faith will negatively impact the Obama presidency. Malik has accused others of trying to profit from his father's life and says that he intends eventually to write the definitive biography of his father himself.

His assassination caused anger and anxiety among the public, with many demanding to know its instigators. This frustration swelled up in Parliament on July 16, 1969 when MPs demanded to know why no arrests had been made.
Unknown to the MPs, Nahashon Njenga had already been arrested and was "helping the police with investigations". He told the officers that he had bought the weapon from a Kisii man called Jimmy at Sh500.
At one time, he said he was acting on orders of the "big man."

President Uhuru Kenyatta will meet President Barack Obama. Interestingly, their fathers' lives were entangled in power play in the 1960s. Back then, both Uhuru and Obama were infants, and so was Kenya as an independent country where the life of Barack Obama Sr (pictured), a bright economist was complicated for three reasons.
One, he criticised the economic policies of President Kenyatta . Two, he openly ranted how he would have made a better governor of central bank of Kenya. Three, and most important but least discussed, Obama Sr witnessed the assassination of Tom Mboya in July 1969.
That he even gave police the name of Mboya's assassin further muddled his image in the eyes of those keen on covering up the murder of the most ambitious politician of his day. In the bio, The Other Barack: The Bold and Reckless Life of President Obama's Father, published in 2011, Sally Jacobs, informs us that Obama Sr met Mboya at Channi's Pharmacy on July 5, 1969. Mboya had just returned from a summit in Ethiopia. Obama Sr joked how Mboya had parked the car wrongly and thus risked getting a ticket from the City Council.
Mboya laughed and walked into the pharmacy, only to begunned down by Nahashon Isaac Njenga Njoroge, whowas later hanged at Kamiti Prison on 'orders from above'that saw to it that no priest performed the last rites onhim. Obama Sr told a friend how he gave Njenga's nameand description to the police. During Njeng'as hasty trial, Obama Sr was the final prosecution witness, notes Jacobs.
Njenga, who had received military training in Europe was often used as a bodyguard by politicians and when questioned on the murder, he replied: "Why don't you go after the big man?"
Obama Sr obtained a First Class Honours at the University of Hawaii and was awarded a scholarship to pursue a PhD at Harvard. He was later deported for fooling around with white women.

Q Research General #8725: The Breaking Balls Edition
POTUS says he never threatened to demote Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell
President Donald Trump said he never threatened to demote Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, though he maintained that he has the authority to do so.
"I didn't ever threaten to demote him," Trump said in an interview with NBC's Meet The Press that aired Sunday. "I'd be able to do that if I wanted, but I haven't suggested that."
Trump went on to criticize the Federal Reserve for raising interest rates, saying Chairman Powell made a mistake.
"Obama had someone who kept the rates very low," Trump said. "I had somebody who raised the rates very rapidly – too much. He made a mistake, that's been proven."
The Federal Reserve on Wednesday held interest rates steady, indicating that there would not be a cut in 2019. The central bank, however, forecast one to two possible rates cuts in 2020.
When asked Tuesday whether or not he wanted to demote Powell, Trump said: "Let's see what he does."
Bloomberg had reported that Trump considered demoting Powell in February, but White House economic advisor Larry Kudlow said the president wasn't currently considering such a move.
"It's a six-month-old story," he told reporters. "It allegedly happened six months ago and it's not happening today and therefore I have nothing to say about it. It is what it is."

Q Research General #8723: PAIN Edition
How POTUS Outplayed Powell, And Here's What Happens During Next Week's Critical Trump-Xi Meeting
Last Wednesday's FOMC meeting, where Powell had a choice - lose the "patience" and end the rate hike cycle or stun the market risking a crash, and continue tightening financial conditions. Of course, as everyone knows by now, "Powell threw in the towel", capitulating to both the market and president Trump's relentless barrage and confirmed that a July rate cut is virtually assured, at least according to the market which now see greater than 100% odds of such an event.
pepe told you this weeks ago-and it started with the FOMC lowering the discount rate instead of prime.
The second catalyst is next week's G-20 summit in Osaka, Japan, where Trump will meet with China's president Xi and perhaps put an end to the trade war.
Goldman has created a "barometer" index tracking the probability of a trade resolution. It now stands at just 20%, or a one in five chance that the two superpowers will find an amicable resolution, and while this is up from 7% one month ago, it is down from 80% back in March.
they have bet that there won't be an outcome because a favorable outcome means the end of them
This in turn means that both sides will seek to kick the can and avoid the downside scenario portrayed by BofA which sees the S&P dropping to 2,750, propped up by the backstop of the newly-dovish Fed.
bank-speak for the longer this goes on the moar time we have.
As was extensively reported last week, Trump considered firing or demoting Powell at the start of the year; realizing he can't do so directly, he instead decided to pressure Powell to do his bidding in response to Trump's actions!
he has full authority to do this according to the FRB by-laws-that was put in to have a rule that they knew no sitting president would ever use-until POTUS arrived.
To be sure, by now Trump has certainly figured out that his strongest leverage over the Fed is by escalating the uncertainty in the trade and political arena, forcing the Fed to tip its cards and unveil its open-ended dovish policy which the market now expects will result in as many as 4 rate cuts in the next 12 months, setting up Trump nicely for the election, with the S&P at or near all time highs, even if the overall economy continues to deteriorate (it is, however, unclear how much longer markets will ignore the growing risk of a recession just because the Fed has promised to cut rates further).
As such, if Trump feels the need to extract more concession from Powell, all he needs to do is to make good in part or in whole on his $300BN in new Chinese tariffs, which will force the Fed to take on an even more dominant role to preserve the economic cycle by doing the only thing it knows how to do: push assets to new all time highs with even more dovish policies.
White House is now confident that the more it pushes China - in word or in deed - toward a full blown trade war, the more Powell will be forced to concede to Trump in the simmering feud between the executive and the money printing branches of US government. Which is why, even if Goldman is confident that a perpetuation of the status quo is the most likely outcome, traders may be wise to buy the occasional put: if Trump really wants the Fed to consider doing QE (or more).
go ahead and buy them on Goldmans rec'd-someone has to take the short side right?…sarc
the will not do QE because the don't have the money(even with a printing press)-they may announce it but can't see this habbening as it would bail them out of the very situation they put themselves in.
In the case of unresponsive Fed it is a recession, while in the case of an accommodative Fed it is the loss of central bank independence and potentially another round of trade wars and even more pressure on the Fed to cut rates with further markets addiction to stimulus and possibly higher inflation etc.
What is most surprising about all of the above, is how skillfully Trump played both China and the Fed to get his desired outcome: a continued belligerent stance with his superpower adversary even as Powell - who is hardly Trump's biggest fan - is forced to do everything in his power to protect Trump's back.

FSB reports contained in these files further state that the over $18 Billion in gold and US Dollars transferred to Obama's personal account in October, 2008, was the "crucial factor" in his winning the American Presidential contest as it was used to payoff the Bush-Cheney Drug Cartel who in turn allowed the "electronic" US election to swing in his, Obama's, favor.
It is interesting to note about this vast fortune that Iran's central bank is now openly questioning the transfer of the estimated $18.5 Billion ($7.5 billion in cash and 20 metric tons of gold) from their Nation to Turkey by Iranian arms dealer, Esmael Safarian-Nasab, and who, Russian Intelligence reports state, was the "facilitator" of the "arms for hostages" deal between the United States and Iran who met with former US President George Bush upon his secret arrival in the Persian Nation prior to President Ronald Reagan's election and is known as the "October Surprise".
Also interesting to note is that upon Iran's central bank's questioning of this massive transfer of wealth, the Iranian Intelligence Ministry Public Relations Department, under the direction of President Ahmadinejad, dismissed the reports and ordered a blackout of further information from being released.
But, what brings these reports from being shocking, to downright chilling, are the GRU files on Obama stating that he is a Muslim "secreted" into the US Presidency for the "sole purpose" of igniting an American "Holy War" which has been designed to destroy the United States and enslave its once free peoples.
The GRU's assertion of Obama's Muslim religion has, also, been confirmed by former CIA agent and deputy director in the U.S. State Department's Office of Counter Terrorism, Larry Johnson, who states that "Obama was named Barry on his original birth certificate and that his surname was likely later changed to Soetoro after he was adopted by Lolo Soetoro, his mother's second husband."

Former Fed Vice Chairman Stanley Fischer to Join BlackRock
Feb. 13, 2019
Mr. Fischer is joining the BlackRock Investment Institute, the investment analysis division of the world's largest asset manager.
Mr. Fischer's appointment will "help us discern the trends, identify the inflection points and understand the interlocking intricacy of assets, markets and economies," said BlackRock executives Laurence Fink and Philipp Hildebrand in a company memo announcing Mr. Fischer's hiring on Wednesday.
In 2014, President Barack Obama tapped Mr. Fischer, a luminary in central banking who previously served as the head of the bank of Israel, to serve as the Fed's No. 2 official. He resigned his four-year term for personal reasons in Oct. 2017.
During a career as a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Mr. Fischer taught many leading policy makers. His students included European central bank President Mario Draghi and former Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke. He also held senior posts at the International Monetary Fund, World bank and Citigroup Inc.
As a key member of former Fed Chairwoman Janet Yellen's inner circle of decision makers, Mr. Fischer pushed to gradually unwind the central bank's postcrisis policies, including by raising short-term interest rates after holding them near zero for many years.
More recently, Mr. Fischer has warned against efforts to roll back postcrisis banking regulation.

On June 4, 1963, a virtually unknown Presidential decree, Executive Order 11110, was signed with the authority to basically strip the bank of its power to loan money to the United States Federal Government at interest. With the stroke of a pen, President Kennedy declared that the privately owned Federal Reserve bank would soon be out of business. The Christian Law Fellowship has exhaustively researched this matter through the Federal Register and Library of Congress. We can now safely conclude that this Executive Order has never been repealed, amended, or superceded by any subsequent Executive Order. In simple terms, it is still valid.
When President John Fitzgerald Kennedy - the author of Profiles in Courage -signed this Order, it returned to the federal government, specifically the Treasury Department, the Constitutional power to create and issue currency -money - without going through the privately owned Federal Reserve bank. President Kennedy's Executive Order 11110 [the full text is displayed further below] gave the Treasury Department the explicit authority: "to issue silver certificates against any silver bullion, silver, or standard silver dollars in the Treasury." This means that for every ounce of silver in the U.S. Treasury's vault, the government could introduce new money into circulation based on the silver bullion physically held there. As a result, more than $4 billion in United States Notes were brought into circulation in $2 and $5 denominations. $10 and $20 United States Notes were never circulated but were being printed by the Treasury Department when Kennedy was assassinated. It appears obvious that President Kennedy knew the Federal Reserve Notes being used as the purported legal currency were contrary to the Constitution of the United States of America.
"United States Notes" were issued as an interest-free and debt-free currency backed by silver reserves in the U.S. Treasury. We compared a "Federal Reserve Note" issued from the private central bank of the United States (the Federal Reserve bank a/k/a Federal Reserve System), with a "United States Note" from the U.S. Treasury issued by President Kennedy's Executive Order. They almost look alike, except one says "Federal Reserve Note" on the top while the other says "United States Note". Also, the Federal Reserve Note has a green seal and serial number while the United States Note has a red seal and serial number.
President Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963 and the United States Notes he had issued were immediately taken out of circulation. Federal Reserve Notes continued to serve as the legal currency of the nation. According to the United States Secret Service, 99% of all U.S. paper "currency" circulating in 1999 are Federal Reserve Notes.

U.S. banks clear first hurdle of Federal Reserve's annual stress test-BULLSHIT
The 18 largest banks operating in the United States took the first step toward doling out capital on dividends, share buybacks and other investments on Friday, after clearing the first stage of their yearly health checks with the U.S. Federal Reserve that assess their ability to weather a major economic downturn.
he central bank said lenders, including JPMorgan Chase & Co, Citigroup Inc, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and bank of America Corp, would face losses of $410 billion under its most severe recession scenario ever, but levels of high-quality capital would still be well above regulatory minimums.
"The nation's largest banks are significantly stronger than before the crisis and would be well-positioned to support the economy even after a severe shock," Fed Vice Chairman Randal Quarles said in a statement.
The Fed said hypothetical losses were broadly comparable to results from prior years, with the most significant loan losses seen in credit cards, followed by commercial and industrial loans.
Friday's results, the first of the two-part annual "stress test," showed the country's biggest lenders could meet minimum Fed standards based on information they submitted to the regulator.
But banks could still stumble next Thursday, when the Fed announces whether it will permit banks to dish out dividends and buy back shares. That second test is more rigorous, assessing whether it is safe for banks to implement their capital plans. It also reviews operational controls and risk management.
All eyes are on Deutsche bank, which is bracing for potentially its fourth flunking in five years amid ongoing turmoil in its U.S. operations, Reuters reported on Thursday. Last year, the Fed failed the bank, citing "material weaknesses" in its data capabilities and capital planning.
The Fed created the stress tests during the 2007-2009 financial crisis to ensure banks are strong enough to continue lending through a severe economic downturn.
This year's tests are more streamlined following a Fed review of the process, which has long been hated by the industry. Roughly half as many banks were tested this year compared to 2018 after the Fed earlier this year moved several smaller firms onto a two-year testing cycle.
The 18 banks tested this year hold roughly 70 percent of all U.S. bank assets, according to the Fed.
In addition, most banks can no longer fail on "qualitative" grounds. Previously, banks that had sufficient capital could still be flunked if the Fed identified risk management and operational problems.
In March, the Fed said it was dropping this qualitative objection for domestic U.S. banks. Only the U.S. subsidiaries of five foreign lenders - Deutsche bank, Credit Suisse Group AG, UBS Group AG, Barclays Plc and TD bank - must clear that hurdle this year.
Since the first test in 2009, banks have seen losses shrink, loan portfolios improve and profits grow. The largest banks have also strengthened their balance sheets by adding more than $680 billion in top-tier capital, the Fed said.
This year's recession scenario included a jump to 10 percent unemployment, as well as elevated stress in corporate loan markets and falling real estate prices. However, the Fed also this year gave banks more information about the testing models, after years of industry gripes that the process is too opaque.
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-fed-stresstest/u-s-banks-clear-first-hurdle-of-federal-reserves-annual-stress-test-idUSKCN1TM2MT
how they pass these is simple: The FRB allows the banks to place whatever they deem fit into a place or 'bucket' called hold to maturity-that way none of the assets that should be part of this test are ever actually part of it.
in short, ridiculous bullshit-and always has been.

The Pilgrims Society
Vert important connections affecting all countries
🚨🚨
http://theuniversalseduction.com/articles/what-is-the-pilgrims-society
http://theuniversalseduction.com/articles/what-is-the-pilgrims-society
The Pilgrims Society, an aristocratic Anglo-American dining club, was established over a century ago and meets at least two or three times a year. Its membership consists of the most influential bankers, lawyers, insurance brokers, and businessmen from the New York and London areas. A handful of career politicians also come from Washington. The club's primary purpose is to keep the ties between the United States and Britain as close as possible. –PLEASE SCROLL DOWN………The London chapter of the Pilgrims Society was established on July 11, 1902, followed by
a New York chapter on January 13, 1903. Its patron is the British monarch, who has plenty of representatives attending the meetings. A member of the Royal family usually attends the London diners.
As you'll find out by looking at the membership list, the Pilgrims Society has clearly fused together the business centers of New York and London, together with a large portion of the political centers of both nations. Ninety percent of the American members are top-level bankers and businessmen from New York city.The club is secret. It might be one of those 'open-secrets', but it's secret nonetheless. If it wasn't, we would have read about it in the history books, we would know all the details of the meetings, and we would have membership lists in the public domain. It is possible to find quite a bit of information in regular newspaper archives, but you really have to look for it.
A great example of the cooperation between the London and American Pilgrims is the
London Bush House, which was ordered to be built in 1919 by Pilgrim Irving T. Bush, a N.Y. businessman. At the time it was the most expensive building in the world and was meant to be an Anglo-American trade center where buyers could purchase goods in one place. It lost its original function after a couple of decades, but still exists today as an office to the BBC World Service. Above the entrance there's a large statue, which represents this Anglo-American cooperation.
The Pilgrims Society is allied with the English-Speaking Union, which is an organization that promotes the use of the English language all over the world. The patron is the English queen and the president is prince Philip. The chairman, as far as we know, is always a member of the Pilgrims.
The institutions the Pilgrims control
All the important members of the 1910 Jekyll Island meeting were Pilgrims; Vanderlip, Strong, Warburg, Davison, Norton, and Aldrich. Senator Aldrich's closest ally in congress, Edward B. Vreeland, was a Pilgrim too, together with his brother. Vreeland helped Aldrich establish a privately owned central bank. Of course, J.P. Morgan, George F. Baker, John D. Rockefeller, and Jacob Schiff were members also. Keep in mind these people were often competing with each other and weren't necessarily friends, as so many (conspiracy-oriented) people seem to think.

George Soros Receives Joseph A. Schumpeter Award

Earlier today, George Soros, the chair and founder of the Open Society Foundations, was presented with the globalist (in the worst sense of the term) Joseph A. Schumpeter Award for innovative achievements in the field of business, economics, or economic policy, at a ceremony at the National bank of Austria, in Vienna.
The award was presented by Ewald Nowotny, the bank's governor and president of the Vienna Schumpeter Society, who cited Soros's "commitment to freedom and the promotion of the pursuit of knowledge."
"We are honoring George Soros with the Schumpeter Prize for making the world more open, more just and more equitable for all," he said.
Past insider globalist recipients of the award have included former German chancellor Helmut Kohl, the former president of the European Commission Romano Prodi, and current president of the European central bank Mario Draghi.
"It is a great honor to receive this award, because I have always been a great admirer of Schumpeter's thinking," Soros said. "I am also personally heartened to be so warmly received in Vienna, which has become the new home of the central European University. I trust the CEU, with its focus on the social sciences, will contribute to the great intellectual life of this city, in the tradition of Schumpeter and so many others."

Hillary Clinton's "Sudden Move" Of $1.8 Billion To Qatar central bank Stuns Financial World
The Ministry of Finance (MoF) in Russia has released a report that's fascinating. According to the report, a few hours ago, the top Western bankers have been dumbfounded after a $1.8 billion transfer from Hillary Clinton Foundation was recorded by the bank For International Settlements (BIS). The registered amount has been sourced from the Hillary Clinton Foundation (CF) to the to the Qatar central bank (QCB). The JP Morgan Chase & Company (JPM) facilitated the transfer process. It' still unknown as to why the large amount has been transferred so abruptly.
—According to the report, Deutsche bank, the German based global banking giant has been the first casualty of the sub-prime auto loan bubble; the bank has been affected adversely to a point of laying off tens of thousands of workers around the globe. The report continues to allude to the shocking realization as to why the media is failing to inform the American citizens of the full extent of the disastrous occurrences while the elite like Hillary Clinton have first-hand information and have already secured their finances. Hillary has already secured her $1.8 billion; the American people will be adversely affected by the catastrophe and consequently left at the mercy of the corrupt elite.
According to the Ministry of Finance report amendment in a highly classified SVR reports that after Hillary Clinton transferring the $1.8 Billion to Qatar, one of the sheikdoms royal palaces was reserved for the arrival of a highly valued dignitary; presumably Hillary Clinton.

European central bankers claim oversight over Facebook's cryptocurrency
FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Three European central bankers are claiming oversight over Facebook's planned virtual currency to ensure it will not jeopardize the financial system or be used to launder money. Facebook drew worldwide interest this week when it announced plans to introduce a cryptocurrency called Libra, part of an effort to expand into digital payments. Facebook said Libra would be backed by real-world assets, including bank deposits and short-term government securities, to make it more stable - and thus practical for payments and money transfers - than other cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin. With the potential to reach billions of internet users and the backing of payment giants like Visa, Facebook hopes Libra will not only power transactions but offer people without bank accounts access to financial services for the first time.
But the central bankers of Britain, France and Germany said Facebook should expect scrutiny. "It has to be safe, or it's not going to happen," bank of England Governor Mark Carney told the BBC in an interview broadcast on Friday. "We, the Fed, all the major global central banks and supervisors, would have direct regulatory (oversight)," he said, referring to the U.S. Federal Reserve.
Global central bankers have so far largely refrained from regulating digital currencies, having failed last year to reach an agreement on how to do so and concluding they were too small to pose a risk to the financial system. Other global regulators have been monitoring the growth of cryptocurrencies. The Financial Action Task Force, a Paris-based global anti-money-laundering watchdog, is expected to announce rules to address the use of digital coins for illegal purposes. But Libra's announcement has put the issue back on their radar, with the focus now shifting from bitcoin to so-called stablecoins, such as Facebook's Libra, that are backed by real-world assets.
France said on Friday it would create a task force on the matter as part of its presidency of the Group of Seven club of the world's seven largest economies. It will be chaired by European central bank board member Benoit Coeure. "It will in the coming months examine the anti-money laundering requirements, but also those of consumer protection and operational resilience and any issues relating to monetary policy transmission," said France's central bank governor, Villeroy de Galhau. His German counterpart, Jens Weidmann, warned that stablecoins could undermine banks if they became a widespread alternative to bank deposits in conventional currencies. "They could undermine the deposit-taking of banks and their business models," Weidmann said on Friday. "This might disrupt transaction banking and financial market intermediation."
One of the issues to be considered by the G7 task force is custodianship, or where and how the official currencies underpinning the tokens would be stored, according to a letter seen by Reuters. This is a crucial point for stablecoins. Tether, the highest-profile stablecoin, with coins worth around $3.6 billion in existence, has faced questions over whether it holds enough U.S. dollars to back the tokens in circulation. The company has said it has sufficient reserves. Facebook is grappling with public backlash after a series of scandals ranging from privacy breaches to accusations that it is restricting freedom of speech.

Belgian prime minister cited as a potential candidate to lead European Council
Outgoing Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel was mentioned on Thursday in European circles as a potential successor to Poland's Donald Tusk at the helm of the European Council.
Tusk himself has reportedly mentioned the name of the Belgian liberal leader to heads of State and Government on the Council to know their feelings in that regard, according to the Politico news site,
Nominations for top European posts are on the agenda of the European leaders at a Thursday afternoon summit. The posts include the presidency of the European Commission and European Council, the management of the European central bank and the post of High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs.
The Liberal family, to which Charles Michel belongs, has been focusing above all on Denmark's Margrethe Vestager. She has a good chance of being elected to the presidency of the Commission, Liberal representatives say.
The possibility of the European leaders reaching an agreement on the nominations by Thursday night seemed slim, but not impossible.

Global Negative Yielding Debt Soars By $700 Billion In One Day To Record $13 Trillion
one day
The "deflationary ice age" predicted by SocGen's Albert Edwards some 25 years ago is upon us.
The one-two punch of a dovish Draghi and Powell unleashing the "deflationary spirits" has resulted not only in the S&P hitting a new all time high, but in an unprecedneted flight to safety as investors freak out that a recession may be imminent (judging by the forceful jawboning by central bankers hinting of imminent easing), pushing gold above $1,400 - its highest price since 2013 - and global yields to new all time lows.
As a result, the total notional amount of global debt trading with negative yields soared by $700 billion in just one day, and a whopping $1.2 trillion this week, the biggest weekly increase in at least three years.
We won't paraphrase everything else we said in the context of this very troubling observation (see our latest post from yesterday discussing the surge in (-) yielding debt), we'll just repeat the big picture summary: such a collapse in yields is not bullish, or indicative of a new golden age for the global economy. Quite the contrary - it signifies that debt investors are more confident than ever that the global growth rate is collapsing and only central bank intervention may possibly delay (not prevent) the world sliding into recession. Worse, rates are set to only drop, because as Rabobank's Michael Every wrote yesterday "if the Fed do cut ahead then yields fall, more so at the shorter end; but if they don't cut then yields still fall, but more so at the longer end (now around 2.02%)."
His conclusion: "Either way US (and global) yields are going to fall - which tells its own sad story."

Morning Market Report-beware the Quad witches
This is a Quad-witching day and that means that four very large markets: stock index futures, stock index options, stock options, and single stock futures expire simultaneously.
While stock options contracts and index options expire on the third Friday of every month, all four asset classes expire simultaneously on the third Friday of March, June, September, and December. Whoever loaded up on long oil products: equity's, ETF's option (calls) and GLOBEX crude oil futures on the site of chuck and nancy celebrating upon leaving the WH yesterday are going to have some decisions to make. *Of note, anon asked if we can follow the money regarding who tried to make a profit in front of these events of the last 2 weeks. The answer is not until some paperwork is filed attached to qtrly reports. You certainly can see bulk positioning for any placed bets but narrowing down who did what and when is not something we see until the necessary forms and back-ups to what each firm or institution has done becomes available. Think back to 911 when many bets were placed on airline stocks and option puts on that side and long calls for the commodity. For years there were questions on who actually did this. Many years later it was uncovered that most of that was placed through Deutsche bank and we even had a set of 'show' inquiry's that actually came to this conclusion. It was not taken any further as they were given a pass as it was determined that they, DB, could 'never be 'terrorists. If it were this easy to see who does what and when then we would be able to see some transparency in this system.
For an example see crowdstrike, the institutional positions are not available for this yet either. This is something that needs to change going forward-the ability to see who does what and when should not be a mystery, nor should we have to wait weeks or months to see this. As it stands now, we do and its just another tool that the system has to keep retail at a dis-advantage.
Gold had a nice little run up over $1400 last night however in the grand scheme of things it is not a huge deal-it does attract attention though. It keeps it 'on the radar' while the spike has now dropped back below the psychological barrier of a large round number it is still attempting to breakout of a cup and handle pattern.
It may need to have a go back down at $1350 or so to shake out any week longs and do a little consolidation-this is not a bad thing.
Watch oil today…they may not do much with it yet as we are on a weekend and typically things habben on sunday afternoon/evenings when the world-wide markets begin to stir from it's weekend off.

Global Stock Rally Softens On Quad-Witching Friday As Iran Tensions Spike, Gold Hits 6 Year High
The global stock rally that took all US assets, including stocks, investment grade and junk bonds, to all time highs while sending gold and Treasuries soaring on Thursday, fizzled as world stocks fell on Friday amid worries about a U.S. military strike against Iran, while the ongoing US-China trade conflict took the edge off the central bank-induced rally from earlier in the week.
calm your tits and look back to two, even three weeks ago: where it was and where it is now. In the past if you got that type of movement in an entire year that would still be good.
The scramble for anything that wasn't nailed down, pushed Gold futures above $1,400 an ounce for the first time since September 2013 on Friday and Treasuries were steady.
had that pop on the ten-year mentioned in last nights asian summary-thin markets are easy to do this in.
Friday is also quad-witching option expiration, when "strange", and often unexplained things happen in the market as volumes soar and traders are caught flat footed. As a reminder, there is a major option "pin" around around 2,950 in the S&P, so it is quite likely that any major moves away will be difficult to achieve, but if the S&P starts moving, it may accelerate rapidly in either direction.
the pin refers to making sure that the big payouts are not hit in any size-quite a game that is always played here.
moar breathing room but still printing negative yielding debt-costs you to actually hold these.

Typical market jitters over liquidity at this time of year have been amplified after regulators took over credit-laden Inner Mongolia-based Baoshang bank in May. Some smaller banks and brokers have since struggled to get short-term funding and their financing costs have spiked.
The volume-weighted average rate of China's benchmark overnight repo for banks fell to 1.10 percent on Friday morning, the lowest since June 2015.
The People's bank of China injected a net 285 billion yuan ($41.56 billion) for the week via open market operations, more than four times the amount last week.
However, the weighted average repo rate of the same tenor traded on the Shanghai Stock Exchange was 1.9550 percent, about 85.5 basis points higher than the over-the-counter interbank money market.
"The fact is that the central bank has kept pouring liquidity, but the transmission is not functioning well," said a trader at a medium-sized Chinese bank, adding the recent generous cash injections by the central bank should not be interpreted as a sign of a change in its monetary policy stance.
Late June usually sees strong demand for cash in China as financial institutions have to shore up their balance sheets to meet half-year end regulatory requirements.
In China, many small lenders and non-bank financial institutions do not have direct access to the PBOC's various liquidity facilities and need to rely on bigger banks.
Traders said some smaller institutions were denied loans in interbank markets last week, prompting regulators to warn larger lenders not to cut off such firms from funding markets.
Non-bank financial institutions have increasingly turned to stock exchanges to borrow cash, where requirements for collateral remained less stringent.
Rising demand for cash on the exchange triggered spikes in the interest rates and trading volume.
Volume of 14-day repos traded on the Shanghai Stock Exchange leapt to an all-time high of 208.9 billion yuan ($30.47 billion) on Monday.
For the week, the PBOC also injected 240 billion yuan of long-term funding through its medium-term lending facility.

Asian stocks fail to catch Wall Street's Fed cheer as trade angst dominates
>>6803283 Gold Steady @$1400 currently
Asian stocks struggled on Friday to track Wall Street's exuberance about a possible U.S. rate cut next month as anxiety over Sino-U.S. trade negotiations clouded the investor mood in the region
Also tempering appetite in Asia were fresh worries about Middle East tensions, after Iran shot down a U.S. military drone, raising fears of a military confrontation between Tehran and Washington and pushing the crude oil price higher.
MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan rose 0.1%. The index was up 4% on the week, during which it brushed its highest level since May 8.
Japan's Nikkei was flat, capped by the yen's big surge-see cap#3
The S&P 500 hit a record high on Thursday after this week's Federal Reserve meeting boosted expectations that the central bank will cut interest rates as soon as next month to keep the U.S.-China trade war from stalling economic growth.
Investors have pinned hopes on the United States and China reaching some sort of compromise at the sidelines of the G20 summit in Japan on June 28-29.
In currency markets, the prospect of U.S. interest rates being lowered put the dollar squarely on the defensive.
The dollar index against a basket of six major currencies struggled near a two-week low of 96.567 brushed the previous day. The index has fallen roughly 1% this week.
The greenback has fallen 1.1% versus the yen this week and traded near a six-month low of 107.21 yen.
Cap#3
The euro was steady at $1.1295 after popping up to an eight-day high of $1.1317 in the previous session. The single currency was headed for a weekly gain of 0.75%.
With the Fed expected to ease policy soon, and with other central banks such as the European central bank and the bank of Japan seen following in their wake, government bonds were on a bullish footing.
'''The benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury yield surged in price and its yield fell below 2% for the first time in 2-1/2 years on Thursday. It last stood at 2.009%.==
Cap#5
The German 10-year bund yield touched a record low of minus 0.329% this week while Japan's 10-year yield fell to a near three-year trough of minus 0.185% overnight.
Crude oil rose to three-week highs after Iran shot down a U.S. military drone, raising fears of about fresh conflict in the Middle East.
U.S. crude oil futures were up 0.58% at $57.40 per barrel after rallying more than 5% the previous day.

Q Research General #8701: United We Stand Edition
Dear central bankers: Prepare to be Swept Away in the Next Wave of Populism
The Ruling Elites' Chattering Classes still haven't absorbed the key lesson of the 2016 U.S. presidential election: the percentage of the populace that's becoming wealthier and more financially secure in the bloated, corrupt, self-serving Imperial status quo is declining and the percentage of the populace that's increasingly insecure and financially precarious is increasing, and candidates that mouth the usual platitudes in support of the bloated, corrupt, self-serving Imperial status quo lose to those who speak of the failing status quo as a travesty of a mockery of a sham, i.e. a "populist" speaking truth to power.
Donald Trump steered clear of the status quo's favored platitudes and embraced a bit of populist cant, and so to those who understand that the majority of Americans have been abandoned by America's hubris-soaked, self-serving managerial / ruling elites, his victory was not entirely surprising.
Just as we've reached Peak hubris-soaked, self-serving managerial / ruling Elites, we've also reached Peak central bank Cargo Cult: from now on the majority that's been abandoned by the managerial / ruling elites will become increasingly aware that the unprecedented asymmetries of wealth and power that have undermined American social and economic life can be traced directly back to the central bank, the Federal Reserve, which has become the all-powerful Cargo Cult of the global economy.
The same awareness of central bankers' responsibility for soaring wealth-income inequality and the decline of social mobility is spreading in other nations as well.
Longtime readers are probably tired of the chart below, depicting the incredible expansion of wealth in the already super-wealthy and the stagnation in the prospects of the bottom 95%. But let's shake off the boiled-frog syndrome and check the temperature of the political water we're immersed in: It's getting hotter-a lot hotter.

Finally, US (and Europe) markets' expectations for central bank rate-cuts have collapsed to cycle lows (52bps of cuts in 2019 and 86bps of cuts by the end of 2020).

Q Research General #8695: Evil Is Being Exposed Edition
Global Negative Yielding Debt Hits Record $12.3 Trillion
One week after the universe of negative yielding debt regained its prior high of $11.7 trillion, overnight - thanks to the dovish capitulations by both the ECB and Fed - the notional value of global sovereign debt with a minus yield sign jumped to $12.3 trillion, a new all time high.
The collapse in yields started on Tuesday morning when Mario Draghi said that the central bank might also trim rates and resume its bond-buying should inflation continue to languish well below its 2% target (recently European 5Y5Y forwards hit an all time low but have since rebounded following Draghi's comments).
The dovish comments sent another jolt through fixed income markets and pushed another $714bn worth of bonds into sub-zero yield territory on Tuesday. The market value of bonds trading at negative yields - once thought to be economic lunacy - to a fresh record of $12.3TN, according to Bloomberg surpassing the last peak in 2016. The average yield of the global bond market is now just 1.76 per cent, down from 2.51 per cent in November last year.
Meanwhile, in another startling observation, bank of America recently wrote that "highly-anticipated events in recent years (e.g. Shanghai G20, Brexit, Trump) have typically coincided with big unwinds of crowded positions; and "Japanification" rate theme max consensus." As a result, the collapse in global inflation breakeven levels have taken global govt bond yields (ex. UST) to a new all-time low of 1.2%.
While the majority of core European and Japanese government bonds have been trading with negative yields since 2016, on Tuesday the Austrian, French and Swedish 10-year yields all slumped below zero for the first time. The 10Y German Bund yield stands at -0.32, an all time record low.
As shown in the cap#2 , there are now almost 20 European countries whose 2Y debt trades with a negative yield.
Of course, yields will only go lower now that Powell has officially started the Fed's easing cycle, because as Michael Every explained earlier, "if the Fed do cut ahead then yields fall, more so at the shorter end; but if they don't cut then yields still fall, but more so at the longer end (now around 2.02%). Either way US (and global) yields are going to fall - which tells its own sad story."
"The bar is certainly higher for Jay Powell to deliver a dovish surprise than it was for Draghi but he must certainly be feeling the pressure to do s," said Fidality's Kris Atkinson "In my view the case for immediate easing is weak given still decent growth and the upcoming G20 trade talks. My hunch therefore is that the Fed stands firm and awaits more data but of course, as shown yesterday, bold predictions on central bank actions have a tendency to age quickly."
And since there are still tens of trillions in global sovereign debt which has yet to drop below the X-axis, expect to get updates such as this one every week for the unforeseeable future.

Nearly Everything is Mind Control
"You don't know the power of your own mind. It might not be under your control and the thoughts you have may not be your thoughts. You can take control of your own mind once you realize what is being done to you through mind control."
by Chris Kitze
The world is a giant psychological operation (psyop) designed to destroy humanity by controlling your mind, thoughts and ultimately, your actions.
Mind control is pervasive. Its purpose is to turn you away from your true nature and your Creator.
You are pushed away from good and down a path of destruction. Modern society is controlled through Religion, Money and Knowledge using technology and psychology to target and manipulating your mind. Most people are not even aware this is happening.
The evil goal of is your destruction. Salvation can only be achieved by understanding this mind control, changing your way of thinking, improving your morality, and returning to your original, true nature.
In history, Jesus, Shakyamuni (the Buddha) and Lao Zi among others pointed this out and showed "The Way" to elevate your realm of mind and escape this matrix. Organized religions played this role in the past, but now they have been corrupted to the point where they are now part of the mind control system. You are on your own.
TARGET - THE MIND
The human mind is easily influenced and controlled in very subtle ways.
Suggestion, priming (where you are shown something that affects your later decision on a seemingly unrelated matter), projection, addiction and other techniques are used to alter and direct your thoughts away from Truth.
Monopoly capitalism and communism, virtually the same both under central bank control, use social media, legal systems, money, food and medicine. The psychology has been extensively studied and weaponized for the final assault on your mind – it works and works well. In particular these techniques are used to dumb down, confuse and distract you from your salvation. They are literally leading people to Hell.
Social media has become pervasive and there is no escape if you are online. Google and Facebook are expected to control almost 80% of online advertising within five years (https://www.wnd.com/2019/01/google-facebook-duopoly-now-commands-80-of-ad-market/). Their plug ins and trackers are ubiquitous and your actions are recorded even if you don't have any account with them.
They have become an electronic birth certificate. You can never quit and the information goes into a permanent file owned by Facebook, but accessed by various security agencies, governments and other organizations.
Three years after terminating my Facebook account, I received an email that someone had logged into my closed account from Siberian Russia. To terminate this account, Facebook wanted a government issued ID. This could only be required to positively identify the account for future legal purposes.

Q Research General #8685: Congressional Hearings Are RIGGED Edition
Fed remains unchanged on rates, pledges to 'sustain the expansion'
The Federal Reserve did not move on rates at the conclusion of its policysetting meeting June 19, but committed itself to acting "as appropriate to sustain the expansion."
The Fed elected to keep the benchmark interest rate within its target range of 2.25% to 2.5%, but new economic projections show more Fed officials seeing the case for a rate cut - or two - by the end of 2020.
The Federal Open Market Committee made a number of changes to its policy statement, removing the word "patient" in favor of language promising to "closely monitor the implications of incoming information for the economic outlook." Some market participants had viewed the word "patient" as having a bias toward rate hikes, since the central bank had previously messaged that it was on pause, and not full stop, on efforts to normalize interest rates.
The Fed said it still sees a "sustained expansion of economic activity, strong labor market conditions, and inflation near" the committee's 2% target, but added that "uncertainties about this outlook have increased."
Fed Chairman Jerome Powell also saw his first dissent since becoming head of the central bank; St. Louis Fed President James Bullard voted against the decision to hold rates steady, instead preferring a 25-basis point cut in today's decision.
More members see rate cuts by 2020
The Fed also released a fresh print of economic projections, which included new "dot plots" that map out policysetting members' preferred rate paths through the next three years.
The median dot reflected no rate changes through the rest of 2019, and one 25-basis point rate cut in 2020. The previous dot plots in March (before trade tensions escalated and economic data softened) also had the median dot calling for no rate changes by the end of 2019, but projected a rate hike in 2020.
The new dot plots show Fed officials tilting closer toward a rate cut by the end of 2020. Nine members now see a case for up to two rate cuts in that same window of time. For comparison, the March dot plot reflected only seven members seeing a case for a rate cut by the end of 2020 - and none projected more than a single 25-basis point cut.
The June update shows some members still taking a hawkish stance. Three Fed officials see a case for at least one rate hike by the end of 2020, with one of those three officials predicting three rate hikes.
The economic projections also saw a tick down in future expectations for inflation. In March, the median Fed official projected the economy touching 2% on core personal consumption expenditures (the central bank's preferred measure of inflation) by the end of 2019 and hitting that target again in 2020 and 2021.
The median Fed official now expects the Fed to miss its target for core PCE in 2019 and 2020, hitting 1.8% and 1.9% by the end of those years, respectively.
Inflation has been a conundrum for the Fed ever since it set its 2% symmetric inflation target in 2012. Since the Fed adopted that target, the central bank's preferred measure for inflation - core personal consumption expenditures - have only touched or breached 2% once, raising the question of how the Fed can stimulate persistent undershooting of its target.
Labor market remains strong?
On the labor market front, the Fed said the labor market "remains strong," despite a disappointing jobs report since the last policysetting meeting in May.
That jobs report showed a sharp miss on expectations for added payrolls in addition to tepid wage growth pointing to a labor market that may be running below full employment.
Still, the Fed continues to bring down its expectations for the unemployment rate, suggesting that policy members continue to see room for more tightening in the labor market.
In the updated economic projections, the median Fed official projected a 3.6%unemployment rate by the end of 2019, a tick down from the March prediction of 3.7%. Fed officials appear to find this trend structural, as the median member also brought down the longer-run expectation for unemployment from 4.3% in March to 4.2% in the projections released today.
But as the Fed statement noted, the "strong" labor market conditions are part of the "uncertainties" that have increased in recent weeks.
The Fed's next policysetting meeting will be July 30-31.

Q Research General #8684: Rally Day + 1: The Gloves Are Off Edition
Five things to watch in the pivotal Fed meeting
At its last policy meeting in early May, the Federal Reserve said it was going to be patient for some time before changing interest rates.
"Some time" may turn out to be all of two months.
Economists expect the Fed to try to back away gracefully from that stance with a new pledge to cut interest rates, if warranted. The two-day Fed meeting begins later Tuesday.
Over the last few weeks, escalating trade tensions and a sense that the economy is on a slowing trend have led the market to price in over two cuts this year, according to futures trading as shown by the CME Group's Fed Watch tool.The market is pricing in an 80% chance of a quarter-point reduction in July.
So a Fed remaining on hold, if poised to act, presents a communications challenge to Fed Chairman Jerome Powell.
"It's not a soft shoe that I envy," said Guy LeBas, chief fixed income strategist at Janney Capital Management.
Here is what to watch when the Fed announces its decision at 2 p.m. Eastern on Wednesday.
1. Patient but ready. In its last policy statement in early May, the FOMC said: "in light of global economic and financial developments and muted inflation pressures, the Committee will be patient as it determines what future adjustments to the target range for the federal funds rate may be appropriate to support these outcomes."
Economists are expecting the central bank to hold the benchmark federal-funds target rate in a range between 2.25% and 2.5% while rewriting the language to signal some greater degree of readiness to adjust policy.
"It may do this by adding language on sensitivity to data and developments to its conception of patience," said Daniel Ahn, chief U.S. economist at BNP Paribas.
Some economists think the statement might also might highlight the "downside risks" posed by global and financial developments.
2. Dots in a new world. The Fed's dot plot, adopted in 2011, has never been used during an easing cycle and economists aren't sure if the Fed wants to point to future easing. Many think that Fed officials will mark down estimates to reflect anticipated cuts but the median 2019 dot is expected to still show no change in policy. On the other hand, economists expect the median 2020 dot to move down and imply no more hikes in the rate path. In March, the 2020 dot plot penciled in one hike.
3. "Act as appropriate." The stock market DJIA, +0.14% SPX, +0.00% soared in early June after Powell, speaking at a conference at the Chicago Fed, said he and his colleagues "are closely monitoring the implications of these [trade] developments for the U.S. economic outlook and, as always, we will act as appropriate to sustain the expansion." Some tool that as a clear sign the Fed was willing to consider cutting interest rates to keep the expansion intact. But others saw it as a bland reiteration of the Fed's philosophy. All eyes will be on Powell when he's asked about Fed communication during the press conference.
4. Dissent. St. Louis Fed President James Bullard said recently that a rate cut may be warranted "soon" to help provide some insurance in case of a steeper-than-expected slowdown and the stop inflation expectations from dropping. Because Bullard is a voting member of the FOMC this year., economists will be watching to see if he will formally dissent if his colleagues decide to hold policy steady.
5. The Fed's desired market reaction: Matthew Luzzetti, chief U.S. economist at Deutsche bank, said the Fed's goal in its communication is to "send a sufficiently dovish message" that would keep financial conditions easy and extend the decision about whether to cut to July. "If the Committee is unable to navigate this balancing act, and the market deems the message as insufficiently dovish, financial conditions could tighten enough to trigger a more aggressive Fed response in July," he said.
The Powell Fed has had 10 meetings to date and the equity market has ended lower after nine of them finished, he noted.

Stumbled onto this wikileaks cable while digging Charles Rangel regarding a Haiti Congressional Delegation visiting Haiti after the earthquake. Some interesting names on the list and some interesting nuggets
https://www.wikileaks.org/plusd/cables/10PORTAUPRINCE176_a.html
1. (SBU) SUMMARY: On February 12 Speaker of the House of
Representatives '''Nancy Pelosi, along with the 11 Senators and
members of Congress''', arrived in Port-au-Prince to observe U.S.
relief efforts and to discuss the status of those efforts with US
and GOH officials. President Preval told the Codel they are
rallying to address the monumental challenges confronting them, and
with a vision that looks beyond Haiti's immediate needs. Preval
stated that, in the short-term, Haiti needs help in addressing the
problems of displaced persons, a budget shortfall, stimulating the
economy, and holding elections. Preval also asked for assistance
in encouraging U.S. private investment, decentralizing foreign
investment, creating jobs, and building roads. Prime Minister
Bellerive supported the concept of '''establishing a trusteeship
comprised of the GOH and major donors to coordinate the
disbursement of financial aid.''' END SUMMARY.
CODEL Members and Participants
2. (SBU) Members of the Senate:
* Tom Harkin, Chairman Health Education and Labor (D-IA)
* Bill Nelson, Budget, Finance and SASC (D-FL)
* Amy Klobuchar, Judiciary (D-MN)
* Frank Lautenberg, Appropriations (D-NJ)
* George LeMieux, SASC (R-FL)

Also accompanying the CODEL were Assistant Secretary for
Legislative Affairs Rich Verma, seven members of the Senate and
House staff, and two representatives of the Senate and House UNMC
liaison offices.
…
9. (SBU) (((central bank President Castel))) said, as a result of
destroyed businesses and loan defaults, 40 percent of Haiti's
banks' portfolios may have been lost. Those businesses can rebuild
(((only if credit is available,))) commenting "we need to extend credit
in order to create jobs," and added "we cannot raise revenue
without jobs." Castel urged the American legislators to include
funds to recapitalize the banks in any budget supplemental.
Senator Harkin mentioned that Congress will be considering a
supplemental appropriation bill, and requested a list of GOH needs
for the remainder of the fiscal year.
Coordination of Expenditures - Trusteeship Proposal
10. (SBU) '''Senator Nelson suggested that the GOH establish a
trusteeship with authority to disburse funds contributed by donors.'''
Prime Minister Bellerive stated that he discussed the subject of a
trusteeship with Counselor Cheryl Mills, and that the GOH supports
the idea, provided the body would be (((transparent.))) Bellerive added
that the trusteeship should be governed by an '''"International Donor
Board" consisting of the largest donors, and co-chaired by the GOH.'''
He suggested the body should first adopt a plan and then vote to
disburse funds for projects consistent with the plan. Bellerive
said the GOH would propose this structure to the donors meeting in
April.
Think Big and Outside of Port-au-Prince
11. (SBU) Speaker Pelosi urged Preval to "think big." "We're
receptive" she added, "and we would like to hear that Haiti is
going toward a different place. If so, you would (((receive even more
support, and we see this as an opportunity to be even more
helpful."))) "You can teach the world how to respond to such a
disaster, and become a model." Pelosi stated that sometimes such a
tragedy can be a great opportunity, and suggested the examples of
San Francisco and Italy.

Q Research General #8683: New Baker Jumps In Edition
Meanwhile In China, Echoes Of Lehman As Interbank Market Freezes
One month ago we wrote that in the aftermath of the shocking government May 24 seizure of Baoshang bank - not shocking because the bank failed as most Chinese banks are insolvent if left to their own devices due to the real, and far higher levels of non-performing loans, but because the government allowed it to happen in the open, sparking fears of who comes next (and when) - the PBOC "finally panicked and injected a whopping net 250 billion yuan ($36 billion) into the financial system via open-market operations, as it fills what traders have dubbed a growing funding gap following the Baoshang failure."
In retrospect, the PBOC failed to restore confidence in the stability of the Chinese banking system, and since then things have taken a turn for the far worse.
Yet with the world fixated on the U.S.-China (Mexico, Europe, etc) trade conflict, it is easy to understand why many have brushed aside the Baoshang harbinger and its consequences which have exposed giant fissures under China's calm financial facade and are gradually freezing up the Chinese banking system.
As the WSJ writes, on Sunday, China's securities regulator convened a meeting asking big brokerages and funds to support their smaller peers, according to a meeting summary circulated among industry participants Monday. The briefing cited rising risk aversion in money markets after defaults in the bond repurchase market.
The immediate reaction, which we pointed out back in May, is that some of the key interbank lending rates - those which banks rely on to obtain critical short-term funds - have moved sharply higher in recent weeks, with the 1 month repo soaring, and almost doubling over the past month.
For those who are only now catching up with this extremely important story, here is the background context: as we explained last month, and as the WSJ recaps, China's short-term lending market for banks and other financial institutions has for years operated under the assumption that Beijing wouldn't allow big losses in the event of defaults or insolvencies (hence the reason why Baoshang's failure was a shock).
Meanwhile, non-bank financiers like brokerages and funds are key supporters of embattled private businesses, since they buy a significant percentage of corporate bonds. They are also far-and-away the biggest net inter-bank borrowers, following a 2016 crackdown on short-term borrowing by banks to fund leveraged wealth-management products.
Furthermore, non-bank borrowing through bond repos and inter-bank loans skyrocketed since China's central bank began easing monetary policy in early 2018, hitting a net 74 trillion yuan ($10.7 trillion) in the first quarter of 2019, according to Enodo Economics, and up nearly 50% from a year earlier. As the WSJ redundantly warns, "funding troubles for brokerages and other asset managers therefore pose big problems for both financial stability and the real economy."
Meanwhile, as we warned as far back as March 2017, problems appear to be migrating from the smallish market for negotiable certificates of deposit (NCDs), used mostly by small banks, into the vastly greater bond repo market. Here, while key one-day and seven-day weighted average borrowing rates remain low thanks to huge central bank cash injections - such as the 250BN yuan we described back in May - longer tenors such as the 1 month repo have marched sharply higher
So is this China's (long overdue) Lehman moment?
yes
It's not all good news: unlike now, in late 2016 China's economy was improving and so was corporate creditworthiness. That is no longer the case, and as such, investors should keep a very close eye on China's money markets in the days ahead to make sure a seasonal cash crunch and problems at a few banks and brokerages don't result in broad contagion and "contaminate a fragile financial ecosystem", one which as the Baoshang shock of May 24 shows, is no longer unreservedly backstopped by Beijing.

Iran's regime feeling desolate, helpless in the face of numerous crises
Iran, June 19, 2019 - While, according to Iranian regime officials, the Islamic Republic has no option but to align itself with ordinary Iranians in the face of foreign pressure, sheer incompetency and accumulated social problems have rendered the situation more explosive than ever before.
Nahid Tajeddin, a member of the regime's Majlis (parliament) from the camp close to mullahs' President Hassan Rouhani, voiced a concerned view on Monday.
"I was thinking about what I should say for the youth from behind this tribune? The same youth, who despite being 40 percent of the Iranian population, 25.3 percent of them have been unemployed in the [Persian] year 2017-2018, according to the data from the center for statistics," she said.
"I was thinking about what I should say for the women? The very same women who are 50 percent of this society but their share of higher management positions in the country has yet to reach the 30 percent mark set by the president's office," she added.
"I was thinking about what I should say from behind this tribune for the people who have not been mentioned? What pain should we talk about that hasn't been already talked about and what is the remedy for all these pain," Tajeddin further said, concluding her speech by referring to the plight of Iranian workers whose monthly provide only a portion of today's living costs. Tajeddin warned about factional infightings among the political elite, but didn't present any solution for the dilemmas the mullahs' regime.
In the same Majlis session, Mahmoud Bahmani, former central bank governor and a current Majlis member added to the regime's growing list of concerns.
"Right now, the middle class and poor people of the society are becoming weaker every day and profiteers, brokers and underground economic activists who see themselves beyond the law have become richer and bolder," he said.
"Nonetheless, the country's resources and reserves are fourth in terms of oil and second in terms of gas, and first in general terms and we have [just] one percent of the world population and seven percent of the world's natural resources," Bahmani added

All about the FOMC today, essentially world markets on hold until later today. Futures are flat although asia was up nicely. There are many headlines in the business world. The Paris airshow has been kind to Boeing too.
The FOMC is not married to a 25 basis point (.25%) cut, they can do a smaller one(.125% for example) if needed and have in the past.
The FRB's owners, i.e. the banking system, are intent on causing inflation for two reasons 1) it allows them to have the 'event' and maintain control . 2) it increases the spread on all the debt, credit and other financial vehicles they push into the world so that they continue to collect moar money on our backs.

Global Markets Drift Amid Concerns The Fed May Disappoint
After yesterday's torrid, euphoric surge on the back of Draghi's dovish deluge and Trump's announcement of a G-20 meeting with Xi, world stocks were rather muted, holding near two-week highs on Wednesday, and in the case of the S&P500 just shy of
all time highs as investors bet on a worldwide wave of central bank stimulus.German and U.S. bond yields, which hit record lows and two-year lows respectively after Draghi's comments, inched higher to trade just off those levels.
See cap #3 for our notes, 10 year.
European shares slipped off six-week highs in early trading (although they have since rebounded) and Wall Street futures indicated a slightly weaker opening on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, futures are almost fully priced for a quarter-point easing in July and imply more than 60 basis points of cuts by Christmas. As for Europe, markets have almost fully priced a cut in September, though some analysts,
such as those at Germany's Commerzbank, now say rates will be cut in July, rather than in the last quarter of the year as they had predicted earlier.
See cap#4 for CME Fed watch a rate cut in July, if not today is all but guaranteed-roughly a 64% chance of a.25% cut and a 19% chance of a .50% cut-remember this data is an indication of bets being placed and not a predictive tool from the FOMC-it's just the idiots on wall street making bets.
They were a few weeks behind pepe at least in regards to overtly placing bets-still would fire all of them.

WHAT IN THE WORLD?? INITIATIVE Q??
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initiative_Q
Initiative Q is an attempt to create a new payment network and digital currency.[1] It was created by Israeli entrepreneur Saar Wilf, who previously founded Fraud Sciences, a payment security company acquired by PayPal.[2][3][4][1] Initiative Q is backed by Cato Institute economist Lawrence H. White.[2] Unlike Bitcoin the scheme would not take measures to evade state regulation.[5]
Initiative Q's goal is to replace payment cards and paper money that use old infrastructure with a new payment system leveraging current-day technologies.[6][7] It is "creating a new currency (the Q) and distributing it to anyone who helps speed up adoption."[6] The Q is not a cryptocurrency and is not decentralized,[8][6] but will instead be overseen by an independent monetary committee, much like a central bank.
Registering for Initiative Q is marketed through multi-level marketing.[9] The currency reserved for registrants will not be released until a critical mass of adopters identify themselves.[3][10] In November 2018, Vox.com reported that more than two million people had signed-up in 180 countries.[1] Later the same month, O Globo reported more than five million registrations,[11] and The Times of India reported that countries with large numbers of registrations included India, Brazil, United States and United Kingdom
In October 2018, Frank Chung of news.com.au wrote that the marketing style could be "perceived as a scam or pyramid scheme"[2] and Daniel Huszák of portfolio.hu compared it to multi-level marketing without the fee.[9] Owen Gough of Digital Spy wrote "Is Initiative Q real or fake? Short answer - we have absolutely no idea."[12]
In contrast, Brendan Markey-Tower, economist at the University of Queensland, said on Stuff.co.nz in November 2018 that it was "not a scam" and that the scheme wouldn't "make you fabulously wealthy. It is, nonetheless, an interesting idea."[8]
Huszák enumerated potential problems with the scheme such as no clear crypto-currency security measures, unclear transaction/exchange costs, and potential for market manipulation by the largest holders of currency.

POTUS pressures Fed's Powell: 'Let's see what he does'
President Donald Trump on Tuesday kept up pressure on the head of the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates, following a report that White House lawyers earlier this year explored whether they could legally strip Jerome Powell of the Fed chairmanship.
Asked by reporters outside the White House if he wanted to demote Powell, Trump said: "Let's see what he does."
Trump has repeatedly attacked Powell for raising interest rates, claiming that the Fed's four rate hikes last year were undercutting his economic and trade policies, particularly as he battled over trade issues with China. Last October Trump said the Fed had "gone crazy" under Powell.
The Fed wraps up a two-day policy meeting in Washington on Wednesday. Powell and fellow U.S. central bankers are expected to leave interest rates steady but potentially lay the groundwork for a rate cut later this year.
"They are going to be making an announcement pretty soon, so we'll see what happens," Trump told reporters.
Earlier Tuesday, European central bank chief Mario Draghi signaled he would ease policy to deal with low inflation across the Atlantic, a move that Trump said benefited Europe and was unfair to the United States.
"I want to be given a level playing field, and so far I haven't been," Trump told reporters.
The comments add to pressure on Powell, who is facing financial market expectations for three rate cuts by year's end as economic data has weakened, though the data still points to continued, though slower, growth.
Trump, who picked Powell to replace Janet Yellen as the Fed chair, told ABC News last week: "I'm not happy with what he's done."
Bloomberg News, citing people familiar with the matter, reported Tuesday that the White House's counsel's office had looked into the legality of demoting Powell to a Fed governor in February, soon after Trump discussed firing the Fed chairman. Such a move would be unprecedented in the Fed's 100-year history.
White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow declined to confirm or deny the report, but told reporters that Trump is not considering any changes to Powell's status. Powell's four-year term as Fed chair expires in 2022.
"The Fed is independent. They'll act on their own time, in their own way," Kudlow said.
Powell has said he does not believe the president has the power to fire him, and that he would not resign if asked.
A spokeswoman for the Fed Board of Governors on Tuesday said, "Under the law, a Federal Reserve Board chair can only be removed for cause."
Robert C. Hockett, a law professor at Cornell Law School, whose research includes monetary law and economics, said demoting Powell might not be considered removal. But any move by Trump to do so would probably be contested by members of the Senate, which must confirm nominees for Fed chair and to the Fed's Board of Governors, and could lead to a legal challenge over the limits of the president's power, Hockett said.
He also said the Fed's policy-setting Federal Open Market Committee, known as the FOMC, could act to preserve Powell's authority.
"Even if Trump could 'demote' Powell, the FOMC could nevertheless vote to keep him on as FOMC chair, thereby neutralizing Trump's move," Hockett said.

How 7.4 Tons of Venezuela's Gold Landed in Africa-and Vanished
ENTEBBE, Uganda-The government of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro is selling off his country's gold reserves. Some of it has passed through a secretive operation in East Africa, a gambit that evades U.S. sanctions.
On two early-March flights, at least 7.4 tons of gold with a market value over $300 million moved from Venezuela to a refinery in Uganda, say officials in Venezuela and Uganda, a foreign diplomat and Venezuelan opposition lawmakers, who have concluded Mr. Maduro's government exported the ingots.
The gold arrived on a Russian charter jetliner in two shipments at the international airport in Entebbe, says Ugandan national-police spokesman Fred Enanga. The accompanying paperwork identified the ingots, some with stamped labels partially scratched off, as Venezuelan central-bank property, says a senior Ugandan police officer who saw the bars and documents. Flight records show the trips originated in Caracas, Venezuela.

Trump: ECB's Draghi Statements Make It 'Unfairly Easier' for EU to Compete Against US
French politician Thierry Mariani said on 15 June that "anything that will put an end to the hegemony of the dollar is a positive thing". He also claimed that the greenback is providing Washington with a "legal and even criminal opportunity" to meddle in global affairs.
US President Donald Trump criticised statements made by European central bank (ECB) head Mario Draghi, noting that his remarks "immediately dropped the Euro against the Dollar"; according to Trump, this results in unfair competition.
Mario Draghi just announced more stimulus could come, which immediately dropped the Euro against the Dollar, making it unfairly easier for them to compete against the USA. They have been getting away with this for years, along with China and others.
- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) 18 ???? 2019 ?.
The US leader's remark comes after last week Thierry Mariani, a National Rally MEP, stated that the EU and Russia do not need any contracts to carry out most transactions in euros; he added that any move "that will put an end to the hegemony of the dollar is a positive thing".

Gold jumps toward 14-month high as investors bet on dovish central banks
Gold prices on Tuesday jumped to the highest levels in more than a year as comments made in Portugal by European central bank President Mario Draghi ahead of a meeting of the Federal Reserve is seen as setting the stage for lower interest rates.
August gold GCQ19, +1.00% jumped $10.70, or 0.8%, to $1,353.60 an ounce, which would mark the highest settlement for the most-active contract since April 11, 2018 when it closed at $1,360 an ounce, if prices hold, according to FactSet data.
At an annual conference in Sintra, Portugal on Tuesday, Draghi said the ECB could roll out fresh stimulus as soon as its next policy meeting in July, which sent the U.S. dollar lower against the euro and boosted most major equity benchmarks, because investors have been betting that central banks would ease monetary policy in the face of stubbornly low inflation, and a global economic slowdown that is being exacerbated by a tariff battle between the U.S. and other countries.
Draghi's comments come as the Fed is preparing to start its two-day policy-setting meeting, where markets are widely anticipating that it will at least set the table for a rate cut in the coming month.
Uncertainty about the global economy and the trade conflict have helped to drive appetite for precious metals.
Signs that central bank's may support rate cuts pushed yields on global debt lower which is bullish for gold which doesn't offer a yield. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note TMUBMUSD10Y, -2.85% hit its lowest in more than 20 months at 2.03% while the comparable German debt TMBMKDE-10Y, +31.52% known as the bund, was at a record low at negative 0.322%.

ECB's Draghi pulls European stocks back into black
(Reuters) - European stock markets recovered from early falls on Tuesday after European central bank chief Mario Draghi promised more monetary stimulus if the economy does not improve, offsetting another warning on slowing sales from the chip sector. Speaking at the ECB's annual conference in Portugal, Draghi pointed the way to cuts in interest rates or new asset purchases if inflation does not return to target, weakening the euro, lowering European bond yields and pulling stock markets higher.
The pan-European STOXX 600 index was 0.1% higher by 0817 GMT, having fallen around a third of a percentage point at opening. The interest rate sensitive banking sector tumbled 0.6%. The newsflow from European corporates continues to point to a euro zone economy struggling to get back off the ground after a decade of monetary efforts to reboot growth. German chipmaker Siltronic tumbled 10.3% after it warned U.S. restrictions on exports to China would hurt business, saying Q2 sales would be "significantly below" the first quarter and were likely to decline further.
The profit warning came hot on the heels of U.S. chipmaker Broadcom's shock statement last Thursday that trade issues would knock $2 billion off 2019 sales and Frankfurt's trade sensitive DAX remained deep in negative territory, down 0.7%. "The series of warnings in the chip business is further proof that the trade war is a key risk in the background," said Simona Gambarini, a markets economist at Capital Economics. Another German chipmaker Infineon Technologies and STMicroelectronics, dropped 4.8% and 2.9% respectively, pulling the technology sector 1.1% lower. Infineon's move came after it launched a 1.5 billion euro capital increase.
Concern over the protracted trade war between the United States and China drove European stocks 6% lower in May, their worst performance in more than two years, and spurred bets that central banks worldwide would turn more accommodative. The rising hopes of moves by both the ECB and the U.S. Federal Reserve has helped the STOXX 600 gain 2% so far this month.
The U.S. central bank is expected to leave borrowing costs unchanged at a two-day policy meeting starting Tuesday, but its many traders expect its statement to open the way to rate cut next month. In M&A news, Tieto rose 4.7% after the Finnish technology firm agreed to pay 13.2 billion Norwegian crowns ($1.51 billion) for Norwegian competitor Evry. Evry's shares surged 16.9%.

Obama and Former Italian PM Renzi Are Holding Secret Meeting Today - Experts Including Papadopoulos Suspect Meeting Linked to Spygate Scandal
by Joe Hoft June 17, 2019
Much has happened since our post May 25th - EXCLUSIVE: Rumors Swirling that Fired Italian Spies Were Connected in Plot to Eliminate Trump
The Gateway Pundit reported on rumors swirling that the recent firings of top Italian spies were related to Obama and a plot to set up candidate and President Trump during the 2016 election.
As reported on May 25th==>>
Earlier this month Italian Prime Minister Conte asked for the resignations of four top intelligence officials after his call with President Donald Trump.
And now another Internet Sleuth has uncovered some shocking news related to the recent removal of these top Italian intelligence ministers from their positions as top spies in the government.
The story begins in January 2017 when Computer World wrote about alleged crimes committed by Italian Giulio Occhionero:
The Tuesday arrest of Giulio Occhionero and his sister, Francesca Maria, has brought to light what appears to be the biggest, and highest-profile, hacking of institutional and corporate accounts ever reported in Italy.
The siblings have been planting the Pyramid Eye remote access Trojan on computers using a spear-phishing technique over several years, according to the arrest order.
They attacked at least 18,000 high-profile targets, including former Prime Ministers Matteo Renzi and Mario Monti, President of European central bank Mario Draghi, as well as employees and heads of various ministries including Internal Affairs, Treasury, Finance and Education.
But Giulio Occhionero claimed that he and his sister, Francesca Maria, were set up. A piece reported by Frederico Punzi, writing in The Atlantico, notes their denials and more:
Occhionero complained to the Prosecutor of the Republic of Perugia and wrote to the U.S. Congress and the FBI. In fact, there are a number of contradictions and suspicious circumstances in the case.
Occhionero claims and it was reported that:
Members of Italian intelligence were approached by Hillary Clinton, the Obama Administration, and the Deep State in order to frame Trump by PLANTING EVIDENCE on American servers to force Trump to step down from office.
In other words, members of Italian intelligence found a target in Occhionero, a Republican-sympathizer who had two servers for his company, Westland Securities, located in America. One was in Washington State, and the other in West Virginia.
The plan was for Italian Intelligence to hack into these servers, plant classified emails from Hillary's servers inside these servers on American soil, and then alert the FBI.
The FBI would then raid these locations, "discover" these e-mails, investigate, link these servers to Trump...
And then force Trump to resign.
Occhionero believes that Obama and the former leader of Italy, Matteo Renzi, worked together on this plan and he provides reports of their meetings in Italy before the 2016 election and in early 2017.

Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi is joining Barack Obama for the last formal dinner of his presidency. Why?…..

ANZ executive quits after probe into wine and chauffeur expenses
The chief executive of ANZ bank's New Zealand division has stepped down following concerns raised by the board over his claiming a chauffeur-driven car and wine storage as business expenses.
The departure of David Hisco, a 30-year veteran at the Australian bank, follows a review of executive expenses ordered by Shayne Elliott, ANZ Group chief executive, in the wake of a high-profile public inquiry into misconduct in the Australian financial industry.
The leadership change comes at a tricky time for ANZ, which is contending with a proposal from New Zealand's central bank that would require banks in the country to hold significantly more capital - a move that could prompt a round of equity raisings.

Global stocks, yields steady with focus on Fed, central banks
NEW YORK (Reuters) - A gauge of global stock markets edged higher on Monday to build on monthly gains and benchmark government bond yields hovered near multi-year lows as investors girded for developments later in the week from central banks in the United States and elsewhere.
The German share price index DAX graph is pictured at the stock exchange in Frankfurt,
The dollar fell against a basket of currencies after touching its highest point since the start of June.
MSCI's gauge of stocks across the globe gained 0.08%, as Wall Street's main indexes climbed in initial trading.
The U.S. Federal Reserve is set to give its policy statement on Wednesday with expectations running high the central bank is poised to cut interest rates this year.
The European central bank is also holding a forum in Portugal this week, with the bank of Japan also set to hold its policy meeting later in the week.
"With so much coming later this week as far as central bank announcements, I think investors are basically in a holding pattern," said Chris Gaffney, president of world markets at TIAA bank.
The Fed is expected to leave borrowing costs unchanged at a policy meeting this week but possibly lay the groundwork for a rate cut later this year, with concerns about the global economy fueled by a heightening U.S.-China trade war.
"I think expectations have been set of a rate cut have been overdone so it will be interesting to see just how dovish the tone is," Gaffney said.
The New York Federal Reserve said its gauge of business growth in New York state posted a record fall this month to its weakest level in more than 2-1/2 years, suggesting an abrupt contraction in regional activity.
On Wall Street, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 46.03 points, or 0.18%, to 26,135.64, the S&P 500 gained 6.89 points, or 0.24%, to 2,893.87 and the Nasdaq Composite added 58.64 points, or 0.75%, to 7,855.30.
The pan-European STOXX 600 index rose 0.02%. Shares of Lufthansa plunged 12% after the German airline lowered its profit outlook for the full year 2019 citing intense competition from low-cost rivals.
U.S. Treasury yields edged higher in choppy trading, as investors reversed safe-haven flows and booked profits on some gains last week, but the mood was still cautious.
Benchmark 10-year notes last rose 1/32 in price to yield 2.0924%, from 2.094% late on Friday.
Germany's 10-year bund yield, the benchmark for Europe, was last at -0.24%.
The dollar index fell 0.1%, with the euro up 0.18% to $1.1227.
U.S. crude fell 0.17% to $52.42 per barrel and Brent was last at $61.89, down 0.19% on the day.

Slow Start As Traders Brace For Huge Week For Global Markets
With the most important 2 weeks of the year looming dead ahead, on Monday U.S. equity futures drifted without conviction along with European stocks following a mixed session in Asia as a huge week
for central-bank decisions and policy gets underway, to be followed by the highly anticipated G-20 meeting in Osaka at the end of the month. Treasuries and gold dropped, the dollar was steady and
cryptos surged to new 2019 highs. As the Federal Reserve prepares to signal on Wednesday whether it is readying its first interest rate cut since the financial crisis (or isn't, and sends stocks plunging
as the gap between market expectations and Fed signalling is the widest it has ever been.
For now, traders are focusing on the dollar's surge on Friday after above-forecast U.S. industrial output and sharp upward retail sales revisions, as well as upbeat consumer confidence, pushed back futures markets expectations of any quick Fed rate cut.
See cap#2 for futures and Cap#3 for the latest CME Fed Watch percentages for rate cut on Weds.
Earlier in the session, Asian equities fell 0.4% as a rebound in Hong Kong stocks failed to offset declines in Japan's market.
The region's chipmakers declined as Broadcom triggered a global sell-off after it slashed its full-year revenue forecast Friday amid escalating trade tensions.
Finally, as reported over the weekend, Bitcoin jumped overnight to $9,391.85, its highest level in 13 months, as institutions are now buying the crypto according to JPM. It was last quoted at $9,195.62, up 2.4%.
No major companies are scheduled to release earnings.
Collapsing inflation expectations also drove German bunds to touch a fresh all-time low of -0.270% intraday on Friday, but they ultimately retraced a touch to end the week -2.3bps lower (-1.8bps Friday) at -0.255%.
To see 5 year inflation swaps and 10 year bunds at these levels is not healthy. However can the ECB credibly persuade markets that they still have the tools to reverse these trends?
Bigly Problems here as now they must convince everyone they can insure Deutsche banks 'bad bank solution'-they can try but it will ultimately fail, hold tight EU anons, bumpy ride ahead.

Anglo alliance cemented by Trump UK visit will lead to reversal of post-9/11 fascist trend
By Benjamin Fulford Weekly Reports 226 Comments
The visit by U.S. President Donald Trump to the UK last week has healed rifts in the Anglo alliance and will make sure the post-9/11 fascist coup in the West will be reversed, according to Pentagon and British royal family sources. "The visit to Great Britain was very much about the entente cordiale in the Anglo-America axis and all of the ongoing issues of which you are already aware. Brexit is a very big deal. I would say that the trip was a success and the bonds between both countries are now stronger," was how a British royal summed it up.
This means there is a split between the Anglo-Americans and the European fascist Nazi aristocrats behind the Bilderberg Group. A semi-official report from a Bilderberg participant confirms that there is a major split between the German-led EU faction and the Anglos, as well as the Italians.
http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/what-was-discussed-at-the-bilderberg-meetings-analysis-144045
Sources in French Intelligence, meanwhile, say they have found proof the recent EU Parliamentary elections were rigged by the German faction. They point to articles which accurately announced the results of the elections that appeared before the elections took place. The battle to liberate France continues, the sources say.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BptCA6JtKRI&feature=youtu.be
Dutch whistleblowers, meanwhile, have been putting out damning information on the Bilderberg founding by the Nazi Dutch royal family and their connection to the fascist American Rockefeller (Clinton), Bush, etc. faction. Among other things, they report that Boeing manufactured bombers and sent them to Germany to bomb Americans during World War II.

This is important, because we now have a 30-year Boeing veteran, Patrick Shanahan, as "Acting Defense Secretary" in the United States, even as all genuine military veterans left the Trump administration at the beginning of this year.
Pentagon sources are telling us "the domino-like, sudden collapse of 26 telephone poles right along the main thoroughfare servicing Boeing's many Seattle facilities along East Marginal Way" last week was "no coincidence."
"This was a white-hat message to Boeing to cease and desist from the use of remote control override technology in its planes used in its 'airplane accidents,' as well as its other warmongering/war crimes/war technologies (that may use 5G), both public and secret," the sources say.
There are also now more signs that a major financial event, likely bigger than the Lehman shock, is being prepared to finish off the Federal Reserve Board and the EU-central-bank-owning Nazi faction of the Khazarian mafia.
This means that the fiat "trading platforms," created by Bilderberger Henry Kissinger for the Rockefeller family after the U.S. abandoned the gold standard in 1971, have been shut down and replaced with ...

Surprise! Biggest investor in the Russian economy is... the United States
US investment in Russia was 13 times bigger than official numbers show, statistics released by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) have revealed.
The data shows that the US was the largest investor in Russia, accounting for 8.9 percent or $39.1 billion of the $441.1 billion total accumulated investments at the end of 2017, Russian business outlet RBC stated, citing Wednesday's UNCTAD report.
This is 13 times more than Russia's official estimates. The central bank of Russia had earlier said that US investment in the Russian economy amounted to $3.05 billion in 2017 and $500,000 more a year later. The US Department of Commerce figures on investment to Russia are also almost three times lower than the UNCTAD statistics, amounting to nearly $13.9 billion.
The unexpected differentiation between the figures can be easily explained, however. Apart from official direct investments, the UN body's report covered so-called ultimate investors, meaning that a country and its businesses may direct funds through one or several conduits. Therefore, real cross-border financial flows from the US to Russia, as well as between other countries, could be far more significant than direct investment data suggests.
For example, some foreign investments, including American ones, are made through affiliated companies in Europe. However, in the official Russian statistics, they will be counted as investments from the country where such a firm is located.

U.S. weekly jobless claims rise; imported inflation weak
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The number of Americans filing applications for unemployment benefits unexpectedly rose last week, which could add to concerns that the labor market was losing steam after job growth slowed sharply in May.
Other data on Thursday showed import prices fell by the most in five months in May amid a broad decline in the cost of goods, the latest indication of muted inflation pressures. Signs of a slowing labor market and tepid inflation strengthen the case for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates this year.
U.S. central bank policymakers are scheduled to meet on June 18-19 against the backdrop of rising trade tensions. Financial markets have priced in at least two rate cuts by the end of 2019. A rate cut is not expected next Wednesday.
Initial claims for state unemployment benefits rose 3,000 to a seasonally adjusted 222,000 for the week ended June 8, the Labor Department said on Thursday. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast claims decreasing to 216,000 in the latest week.
While layoffs remain relatively low, the third straight weekly increase in claims suggests some softening in labor market conditions. The four-week moving average of claims, considered a better measure of labor market trends as it irons out week-to-week volatility, rose 2,500 to 217,750 last week.
The economy created only 75,000 jobs in May, with annual wages increasing at their slowest pace in eight months, the government reported last week. U.S. financial markets were little moved by the claims data.
The slowdown in hiring, which occurred before a recent escalation in trade tensions between the United States and China, raised fears of a sharp deceleration in economic growth. The claims data is being closely monitored for signs of any fallout from the trade war.
President Donald Trump in early May imposed additional tariffs of up to 25% on $200 billion of Chinese goods, prompting retaliation by Beijing. Trump on Monday threatened more duties on Chinese imports if no deal was reached when he meets Chinese President Xi Jinping at a G20 summit later this month in Japan.
A tariff on all goods from Mexico to force authorities in that country to stop immigrants from central America from crossing the border into the United States was narrowly averted after the two nations struck an agreement late on Friday.
ECONOMY SLOWING
Data so far have suggested a sharp slowdown in U.S. economic growth in the second quarter after a temporary boost from exports and an accumulation of inventory early in the year. In addition to the sharp moderation in hiring last month, manufacturing production, exports and home sales dropped in April, while consumer spending cooled.
The Atlanta Fed is forecasting gross domestic product increasing at a 1.4% annualized rate in the April-June quarter. The economy grew at a 3.1% pace in the first quarter.
In another report on Thursday, the Labor Department said import prices dropped 0.3% last month, the biggest decline since last December, after edging up 0.1% in April.
Import prices exclude duties. In May, prices for imported fuels and lubricants declined 1.0% after rising 1.7% percent in the prior month. Imported food prices dropped 0.8% last month after surging 2.7% in April.
Excluding fuels and food, import prices slipped 0.2% in May after falling 0.3% in the prior month. So-called core import prices decreased 1.5% in the 12 months through May. Though the dollar has weakened a bit this year, its gains last year against the currencies of the United States' main trading partners continue to depress core import prices.

Mexican business leaders to sign investment pact with president
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexican business leaders will sign a pact with President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador on Thursday to foster investment, Mexico's top business association said, potentially heralding an improvement in sometimes tense relations between the two sides. The Business Coordinating Council (CCE) said in a statement the accord to promote "investment and inclusive development" would be inked in Mexico City in the presence of cabinet ministers and business leaders.
Lopez Obrador, a leftist who has shunned foreign and private investment in some sectors, caused fury among influential business figures by cancelling a partially-built new $13 billion airport for Mexico City a few weeks before he took office in December. The scrapping of the airport led to major losses on Mexican financial markets, and some of the president's other priorities, including a new publicly-financed oil refinery, have been viewed with skepticism by many in the business community.
The economy has struggled, contracting by 0.2% quarter-on-quarter during the first three months of 2019, and the central bank has expressed concern about sluggish investment in Mexico. The CCE gave no more details, but a senior Mexican business source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the accord was the product of more than two months work by bosses aimed at lifting business activity in Latin America's no. 2 economy. A spokesman for the Mexican presidency described the investment pact as proof that domestic and international investors had confidence both in the economy, and the government's development and infrastructure plans.
The pact touched on projects ranging from energy, infrastructure, healthcare and other areas, and had been lent extra urgency by threats from U.S. President Donald Trump to hit Mexico with punitive trade tariffs, the business source said. The accord aimed to give employers in Mexico the chance to turn their attention to realizing projects that have not been clouded by politics to date during Lopez Obrador's term, the source added. The source also expressed hope the pact could usher in a more collaborative spirit between the Mexican president and business leaders.

Q Research General #8613: They Never Though She Would Lose Edition
Englander: Is The Fed (Or Any central bank) Still Credible?
The Chicago Fed's recent "Conference on Monetary Policy Strategy,Tools,and Communications Practices" was designed to address various questions (and doubts) that academics and economists have raised, and also to listen to those supposed practitioners' perspectives.
However, as Standard Chartered's Steve Englander details in the note below, the conference will have very little impact on market expectations and do little to allay investor concerns about the ineffectiveness of monetary policy near the zero bound.
Critically, Englander says, the problems that the papers at this conference address are not the problems that worry market participants.
Instead, the questions they should have asked are more straightforward to put forth - and more difficult to answer honestly for The Fed.
Are the Fed's models broad enough?
The basic model includes a Phillip's curve, a zero lower bound and a policy rule. It is meant to optimise policy outcomes over a long period of time using alternative rules and choose the one with the best set of outcomes based on some objective function. This is a simplified version of something that requires considerable technical expertise.
In this modelling framework, nothing can go wrong. Some policy rules work better than others, but all eventually meet the targets. There is no banking sector that stops lending when rates are super-low, no investors who go too far out the risk-return curve, and no financial markets that stop trading because the safest assets are concentrated in the Fed's balance sheet.
Such features are very difficult to model analytically. They require parametrisation that reflects empirical regularities, which are very hard to come by. However, investor concerns are not whether price-level targeting beats inflation averaging, but whether either will solve the problem of the zero lower bound.
Is the Fed or any central bank credible enough?
To his credit, Fed Chair Powell has admitted: "In models, great confidence in central bankers is achieved by assumption."
The credibility assumption requires the model to be correct and for investors to have confidence that the central bank can stick to it.
If the model is not correct, investors must choose between believing that the central bank will follow a doomed policy or that it will change its policy.

U.S. consumer prices barely rise; underlying inflation muted
not getting the inflation the FRB needs and wants-this has been the excuse for years to cause "the event".
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. consumer prices barely rose in May, pointing to moderate inflation that together with a slowing economy could increase pressure on the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates this year.
The report from the Labor Department on Wednesday, however, showed some pockets of inflation, with rents and healthcare costs rising solidly, which could buy the U.S. central bank some time before easing monetary policy.
Fed policymakers are scheduled to meet on June 18-19 against the backdrop of rising trade tensions, slowing growth and a sharp step-down in hiring in May that has led financial markets to price in at least two interest rate cuts by the end of 2019.
Fed Chairman Jerome Powell said last week that the central bank was closely monitoring the implications of the trade war on the economy and would "act as appropriate to sustain the expansion." A rate cut is not expected next Wednesday.
The consumer price index edged up 0.1% last month as a rebound in the cost of food was offset by cheaper gasoline, the government said. The CPI gained 0.3% in April.
In the 12 months through May, the CPI increased 1.8%, slowing from April's 1.9% gain. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast the CPI would rise 0.1% in May and 1.9% year-on-year.
Excluding the volatile food and energy components, the CPI nudged up 0.1% for the fourth straight month. The so-called core CPI was held down by a sharp decline in the prices of used cars and trucks as well as motor vehicle insurance.
In the 12 months through May, the so-called core CPI rose 2.0% after advancing 2.1% in April.
The U.S. dollar dropped sharply against a basket of currencies after the release of the data while U.S. Treasury yields fell. U.S. stock index futures pared losses slightly.
RENT, HEALTHCARE COSTS RISE
A report on Tuesday showing core producer prices advancing solidly for a second consecutive month in May had offered hope for a firmer core CPI reading in May, as well as in the inflation measure tracked by the Fed for monetary policy.
The Fed's preferred inflation measure, the core personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index, increased 1.6 percent in the year to April after gaining 1.5% in March. Data for May will be released later this month. The core PCE price index has been running below the Fed's 2% target this year.
Gasoline prices fell 0.5% in May after rising 5.7% in April. Food prices rebounded 0.3% in May after dipping 0.1% in the prior month. Food consumed at home increased 0.3% last month.
Owners' equivalent rent of primary residence, which is what a homeowner would pay to rent or receive from renting a home, increased 0.3% in May after rising 0.3% in April.
Healthcare costs increased 0.3%, matching April's rise. The solid increase in healthcare costs at both the consumer and production levels last month suggests a pickup in the core PCE price index in May.
The cost of hospital services increased 0.5% in May and the cost of doctor visits ticked up 0.1%. But the prices for prescription medication fell 0.2%.
Apparel prices were unchanged in May after tumbling 0.8% in the prior month. They had declined for two months in a row after the government introduced a new method and data to calculate apparel prices.
Prices for used motor vehicles and trucks tumbled 1.4%. That was the largest drop since last September and marked the fourth straight monthly decrease. The cost of motor vehicle insurance fell 0.4%, the most since May 2007. There were also decreases in the cost of recreation.
But prices for airline tickets, household furnishings and new vehicles rose last month. Household furnishings are likely to trend higher in the coming months because of U.S. President Donald Trump's decision in early May to slap additional tariffs of up to 25% on $200 billion of Chinese goods.

Gold-Buying Spree: Governments Around the World Are Preparing for Collapse of US Hegemony
Governments around the world have recently been on a "gold-buying spree." These countries have a tactful reason for doing so, and this reason is directly tied to the anticipation of the inevitable end of US hegemony.
central banks are among the largest purchasers of gold. So far in 2019, they have bought 145.5 tons of gold, which is more in a quarter of a year than central banks have purchased in the preceding six years. To put it bluntly, this figure represents a 68 percent increase from the year before. Last year, central banks increased their reserves by 651.5 tonnes compared to 375 tonnes in 2017. Reportedly, this is the largest net purchase of gold since 1967.
Most interesting, however, is the class of countries that we find are turning to hoarding more and more gold, many of which are deemed to be adversaries of Washington.
As always, Russia is the largest buyer of gold. In 2018, Russia's central bank purchased 274.3 tons of gold. It also dumped 84 percent of its US treasury debts (we will come back to why this is important later.)
Turkey, another country which has signalled a shift away from the US-EU alliance and a greater willingness to cooperate with US economic and military rivals such as Russia, China, and even Iran, has sold off around 38 percent of its US debt and purchased more and more gold.
Other notable nations increasing their gold supply include Kazakhstan , Ecuador, Qatar, Serbia and Colombia, according to recent statistics. Even the Philippines has joined the gold-bandwagon, increasing its gold holdings in foreign reserves, as well as passing gold-specific legislation to assist small-scale miners in the country.

Anglo alliance cemented by Trump UK visit will lead to reversal of post-9/11 fascist trend
By Benjamin Fulford Weekly Reports 80 Comments
The visit by U.S. President Donald Trump to the UK last week has healed rifts in the Anglo alliance and will make sure the post-9/11 fascist coup in the West will be reversed, according to Pentagon and British royal family sources. "The visit to Great Britain was very much about the entente cordiale in the Anglo-America axis and all of the ongoing issues of which you are already aware. Brexit is a very big deal. I would say that the trip was a success and the bonds between both countries are now stronger," was how a British royal summed it up.
This means there is a split between the Anglo-Americans and the European fascist Nazi aristocrats behind the Bilderberg Group. A semi-official report from a Bilderberg participant confirms that there is a major split between the German-led EU faction and the Anglos, as well as the Italians.

Stock Buying Frenzy Accelerates, Sending S&P Above 2,900 As China, Yuan Soar.
It is a sea of green in global markets today, with European stocks rallying as Germany's carmakers outperformed, following a torrid session in Asia where the Shanghai Composite soared by 2.6%, as risk appetite refuses to go away after the United States stepped back from imposing tariffs on Mexico, while losses in treasuries and gold accelerated.
gold needs to stay above $1300 for the trade support to continue.
Emini futures also continued their relentless June surge, with the S&P set to open above 2,900 for the first time in over a month.
Earlier in the session, in Asia, MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan gained 0.9% hitting the highest level since May 8, with Shanghai's bourse climbing 2.6% after news that the country's finance ministry said that it would loosen restrictions on how local governments spend money on infrastructure raised from selling special bonds helping offset the threat by President Donald Trump to raise tariffs again if President Xi Jinping doesn't meet with him at the Group of 20 summit at month's end. As a result, Asian stocks were set to post their biggest three-day gain since January as the risk-on mood spread across the region.
outside of China-which is still working on that large printing exercise it appears the tide is shifting-keep in mind some of that printed yuan found it's way to those markets as well as ours.
After hitting its lowest level for 2019, with the "redline" level of 7.00 looming, China's yuan jumped as much as 0.27%, the most in three weeks, as the central bank set its daily fixing at a stronger-than-expected level. The central bank also said it plans to sell bills in Hong Kong in late June to improve the yield curve of yuan bonds. This comes after the yuan weakened to its weakest level since November on Monday, bringing it closer to 7 per dollar, a level it hasn't breached since the financial crisis.

Well anon, I did a dig on pop's and Nigeria.
Dr. Emmett:"From 1960 to 1962, he took leave from Cornell to work as an economist at the Federal Reserve bank of New York and he then went on to be an adviser to the central bank of Nigeria in Lagos in 1963 and 1964."
This was shortly after independence and the central bank gained control:
"The G.D Paton report, an offshoot of the inquiry became the cornerstone of the first banking legislation in the country: the banking ordinance of 1952. The ordinance was designed to prevent non viable banks from mushrooming, and to ensure orderly commercial banking. The banking ordinance triggered a rapid growth in the industry, with growth also came disappointment. By 1958, a few number of banks had failed. To curtail further failures and to prepare for indigenous control, in 1958, a bill for the establishment of central bank of Nigeria was presented to the House of Representatives of Nigeria. The Act was fully implemented on July 1, 1959, when the central bank of Nigeria came into full operation. In April 1960, the bank issued its first treasury bills. In May 1961 the bank launched the Lagos bankers Clearing House, which provided licensed banks a framework in which to exchange and clear checks rapidly. By July 1, 1961 the bank had completed issuing all denominations of new Nigerian notes and coins and redeemed all of the West African Currency Board's previous money.[2]"

Some conservatives have put the amount released after lifted sanctions as high as $150 billion, which is the highest of estimates we have seen. Another estimate from Iran's central bank topped out at about $29 billion in readily available funds, with another $45 billion tied up in Chinese investment projects and the foreign assets of the Iran's Oil Ministry.
After talking with officials at Iran's central bank, Nader Habibi, professor of economics of the Middle East at Brandeis University, believes the actual total is between $25 billion and $50 billion.
In July 2015, U.S. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew told lawmakers Iran would gain access to $56 billion.

Schiff: "Everything The Fed Said About Normalizing Rates Was A Lie"
ast week was a good one for the stock market. Peter Schiff raised an important question in his latest podcast: why?
Answer: it's all about the Fed.
Everybody is giddy because they think the central bank is going to save the day once again. In this podcast, Peter explains why they are wrong.
Last week, the Dow gained 4.7% and other stock indices followed the upward trend, snapping a six-week losing streak. So, what drove the market up? Was it great earnings reports?
Not really. There were a few companies that posted solid earnings reports, but nothing earthshaking.
Was it good economic data?
Nope. In fact, most of the news was bad. Most significantly, the non-farm payroll number for May came in at just 75,000 jobs. The projections had been for about 180,000 jobs. Peter pointed out that if you average the last three months, job growth comes to about 150,000 jobs per month.
Pretty anemic job growth, especially if you're claiming you're the jobs president and we have the strongest economy in the history of the country."
Peter also noted that the economy is creating the same type of lousy part-time and low-paying jobs it was creating when Obama was president.
Meanwhile, the New York Fed lowered its GDP growth estimate both for Q2 and Q3.
The bottom line is we got much weaker than expected jobs growth. We got weaker economic data. We have downward revisions to GDP growth from the New York Fed. Yet the US stock market is soaring. Why?"
One thing has happened. That's the Fed.
The Federal Reserve has changed on a dime and has done what I've been saying they would do for years. In fact, I said they would do this from the very beginning. And that is they have completely abandoned any pretense of normalizing interest rates or shrinking their balance sheet. The Fed is about to cut interest rates again."
Consider this. That would mean the peak of this interest rate cycle was 2.5%.
That's not exactly "normal."
Why is the Fed going to have to cut interest rates? To prevent the bubble from deflating, to prevent the bubble economy from returning to recession."
And this is exactly why we saw this boost in the stock market last week. The addict is giddy at the mere thought of a fix.
It's only because the Fed is going to give the heroin addicts on Wall Street more of the heroin, this is why the market is going up. That is why the bond market is going up. That is why rates are falling, because the bond market thinks the Fed is going to work its magic one more time. It's going to slash interest rates. It's going to force-feed cheap money into the economy. It's going to do quantitative easing. And it's going to be a party in the bond market. It's going to be a party on Wall Street. Except inflation is going to crash that party. A dollar collapse is going to crash that party."
Peter said the only reason all of this monetary stimulus worked the last time was because everybody believed it was an emergency measure, that it was temporary, that it would be undone, that there was an exit strategy.
Everything the Fed has been saying for the past 10 years about its exit strategy, about its ability to normalize interest rates - everything they said was a lie."
The Fed continues to insist that the economy is strong, but Peter said you need to keep your focus on what the central bank is actually doing.
The fact that they're about to cut interest rates proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that the economy is weak, that any strength is artificial. It's a result of the cheap money and they need more cheap money to maintain the illusion of economic growth."
Peter has always said that levering up the economy is the easy part.
If you can't remove the policy without the economy relapsing into recession, then the economy was a failure…
The easy thing to do was to get hooked on drugs. The hard part, or the impossible part, was kicking the habit. That's what the Fed can't do."

Argentine bishop at heart of phone porn scandal charged with abusing seminarians

FTA (moar at link)
ROME - Argentine Bishop Gustavo Zanchetta, one of Pope Francis's first episcopal appointments in his home country, has been formally accused of sexually abusing seminarians and could face 3 to 10 years in prison.
The information was released on Friday by the prosecutor's office in the Argentine northern province of Salta. The bishop was charged with "aggravated continuous sexual abuse committed by a minister of a religious organization."
Zanchetta, the former bishop of Oran, was accused of "strange behavior" in 2015 when a diocesan secretary found pornographic pictures on the prelate's phone. The images included gay porn featuring young men, but not minors, as well as images of Zanchetta touching himself. They were allegedly sent to unknown third parties.
Two years later, the bishop resigned from the diocese without explanation, but Francis appointed him to a newly created position at the Vatican's Administration of the Patrimony of the Apostolic See (APSA), which serves as a central bank for the Vatican and oversees its financial holdings.
After the first reports of "strange behavior" were sent to the Vatican in 2015, some priests in the diocese began to scrutinize the actions of Zanchetta, especially his interactions with seminarians.

Global Stocks Race Higher On Trade Deal, Rate Cut Hopes As Yuan Tumbles, UK Economy Implodes
June's euphoric rebound from the May slump continued on Monday, as European shares followed Asian stocks higher on Monday after the United States ended plans to impose tariffs on Mexico (at least until the proposal is voted down by Mexico's legislative body) and as investors anticipated lower U.S. interest rates when the Federal Reserve meets next week on the back of poor jobs data.
Meeting is June 18-19
The biggest overnight mover was the Mexican peso which soared more than 2% on Monday, its biggest gain in over a year, as investors bought the currency in a relief rally after fretting for the past week that opening up another trade conflict, while still battling with China, could push the United States and other major economies into recession.
Peso rally started yesterday afternoon/evening as WW markets began to stir.
All Asian markets advanced on Monday in celebration another trade war front had been averted for now, led by Hong Kong and Japan. Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index closed 2.3% higher, extending its gains into the third day, while China's Shanghai Composite Index jumped 0.9%. Japan's Topix Index gained 1.3% to a three-week high and the Nikkei rose 1.2%.
Investors also focused on Chinese trade data reported overnight, which showed imports in May tumbled 8.5% from a year earlier, a much worse than expected outcome that signaled weak domestic consumption. Exports, however, unexpectedly rose 1.1% last month, though this was once again due to front-loading of shipments by firms to avoid higher U.S. tariffs.
Remember they are still working on last weeks printed yuan-approx $72b of it.
European shares followed Asian stocks higher on Monday on the "No Mexican Tariffs" relief rally, and as investors anticipated lower U.S. interest rates when the Federal Reserve meets next week on the back of poor jobs data.
This is where the rolling averages they use are really exposing them as think back 10 years ago, we were barely 2.5 months into the 'green shoots' bullshit and job creation was poor going forward, even using the prior 10 years of rolling averages at that point(tech wreck and Thai Bhat crisis or Long Term Capital Mgmt 'issues')
In the United States, expectations the Fed will cut rates boosted stocks on Friday, with the buying continuing on Monday, after a weak jobs report from the U.S. Labor Department.
Commodities are mixed as the energy complex continues to consolidate following its recent sell-off, with the benchmarks somewhat underpinned by the risk appetite around the market after US President Trump called off tariffs on Mexico which were due to be imposed today. WTI and Brent futures currently hover just above USD 54.00/bbl (ahead of its 200 DMA at 52.60) and USD 63.00/bbl respectively.
nothing to do with US inventory's being at 30-year highs-watch this one as I am convinced there will be investigations on friday's trading-there had better be-see cap#3 green ling on left side of chart-even democrats can see that was a rigged day.

The mix of central bank easing expectations and soft data provided the impetus for the rally, but Italy was also boosted by positive rhetoric from the leaders of its two governing parties, Di Maio of the Five Star Movement and Salvini of the Northern League. They issued a joint statement on Thursday night that said "the government must move forward" on implementing "a constructive dialog with Europe," helping to alleviate some of the concerns around a potential confrontation with Brussels.

The Federal Reserve was founded in 1913 ostensibly to provide a stable currency/economy. What most people don't realize is that the Federal Reserve is not a gov't institution per se. It is PRIVATELY administered and controlled, although the President can make appointments to the Board.
Over the years, many people have criticized the Federal Reserve's actions, questioning whether it effectively acts for "the people" or only the interests of the banks and elites. Critics like Ron Paul have lobbied for years to End the Fed.
On 19 April 2018, an Anon asked Q, "Is the Federal Reserve ending?" Q's response: "Structure." Which probably means Trump will end the current STRUCTURE of the Federal Reserve. That is, its structure as a PRIVATE and SECRETIVE central bank will END.
Further underlining the importance of the Federal Reserve Q writes on April 4, 2018: "MONEY. POWER. CONTROL. People are simply in the way. SLAVES. SHEEP. PAWNS ... THE FED. ROTHSCHILD. 'CONSPIRACY' … REVELATIONS.
Conspiracy? Of course, for years we've been hearing conspiracy analysts insist that the Federal Reserve is a tool of control for the so-called Illuminati. But Conspiracies aren't only for the paranoid and delusional. Indeed, conspiracies can be FACT. We now know the "crazy" conspiracy analysts were right all along.
Just take another look at the occult symbolism on the Federal Reserve's US dollar bills.
And Q's reference to REVELATIONS suggests this criminal conspiracy of financial control by the Federal Reserve will soon be exposed. Still...I'm also compelled to refer to the Book of Revelation and what it says about money at the "end of times"? After all, Q does love double-meanings. Perhaps the reference to Revelation has more than one implication too… Some say Revelation 13:11-17 predicts a financial system that controls whether people have the personal power to buy and sell. In the past, cash-in-hand (or barter-assets like gold) preserved individuals' rights to transact without approval of the authority.
That is to say, in the past the state couldn't easily dictate whether an individual used money as long as that individual had access to physical money. Today, with a "virtual currency system", individuals worldwide can be strictly controlled financially by the state.
What else does Q say about the Federal Reserve system? Well he tells us "everyone is connected". In particular he refers to Dr. Emmett Rice, a governor of the Federal Reserve in the 1980s. No coincidence that he is father to Obama's National Security Advisor, Susan Rice.
Perhaps Q's clearest condemnation of the Federal Reserve is an A-Z list of ALL central banks under control of the Roths (see 12 Nov 2017 drop). This control creates a spider-web that traps all humanity like flies. Our labor and wealth is siphoned off to feed the very people who detest us.
Q also asks: What year did the Titanic sink?…Why did select 'individuals' not make it into the lifeboats?…What is the FED? What does the FED control? Who controls the FED?
We also know Trump has a true admiration for President Kennedy, who was assassinated not long after Kennedy signed Executive Order 11110 for the issuance of silver-backed United States Notes through the U.S. treasury rather than the Federal Reserve System. When Kennedy called for a return of America's currency to the gold standard, and the dismantling of the Federal Reserve System...Kennedy prepared his own death warrant. It was time for him to go." - Colonel James Gritz
Trump himself declares his interest in returning to a gold standard in a 2015 interview with WMUR-TV Pittsburgh: "I like the gold standard and there are some very nice things about it but you have to go back at the right time...We used to have a very solid country because it was based on a gold standard."
Finally, Q asks "What does the Fed control?" One answer: Interest Rates. Notice Trump later went on to talk about the Fed's interest rate policies, complaining that higher rates would be a wrong move for the economy.

Here is how the big boys do it-The are all Primary Dealers and in order to remain a Primary Dealer you MUST make these purchases. So they have a captured audience so to speak with these transactions.
They word this to make it seem that these transactions have no real impact but they do. Look what the yield curve is doing…and these are benign?
Repurchase and Reverse Repurchase Transactions
The Fed uses repurchase agreements, also called "RPs" or "repos", to make collateralized loans to primary dealers. In a reverse repo or "RRP", the Fed borrows money from primary dealers. The typical term of these operations is overnight, but the Fed can conduct these operations with terms out to 65 business days.
Repos and reverse repos are conducted with primary dealers via auction. In a repo, dealers bid on borrowing money versus various types of general collateral. In a reverse repo, dealers offer interest rates at which they would lend money to the Fed versus the Fed's Treasury general collateral, typically Treasury bills.
Self-reversing effect on bank reserves.
My ass they do
Repurchase agreements are made at the initiative of the trading desk at the New York Fed ("the Desk"). The Desk implements monetary policy for the Federal Reserve System at the behest of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC).
Repos are the most common form of temporary open market operation, and are used to temporarily add balances to those already in the system as a result of securities purchased and held in the SOMA portfolio. The SOMA portfolio is grown via securities purchases, also called permanent open market operations.
RPs and reverse repurchase transactions are particularly useful in offsetting temporary swings in the level of bank reserves caused by such volatile factors as float, currency held by the public and Treasury deposits at Federal Reserve banks.
While the mechanics of a repo involve buying and then reselling securities at a set price and a set time, at its financial essence, a repo is a collateralized loan. Fed repos can be conducted for terms anywhere from one to 65 business days. They are usually overnight, though rarely longer than 14 days.
There are two main types of settlement methods for repos: triparty and "delivery vs payment" or DVP. Fed repos are done via triparty settlement, which means that the Fed and the primary dealers use a triparty agent to manage the collateral. In a triparty repo, both parties to the repo must have cash and collateral accounts at the same triparty agent..
The Desk selects winning propositions on a competitive basis. Each dealer is requested to present the rates they are willing to pay for the agreements versus various types of collateral. The three types of general collateral, or GC, the Fed accepts are marketable U.S. Treasury securities (including STRIPS and TIPS), certain direct U.S. agency obligations, and certain agency "pass-throughs" (or Mortgage Backed Securities, often called MBS).
Winners are SELECTED-sounds like a completely open and transparent thing right…its not
The significance of the "GC" designation on the collateral is that GC collateral is fungible. That is, the Fed is not looking for specific securities; rather it is looking for any of the eligible securities that do not have scarcity value. The Desk establishes relative values across the three collateral types, and then uses these values to select the best bids presented.
The New York Fed makes payment for the securities by crediting the reserve account of the dealer's triparty agent, a commercial bank. This act of crediting the bank's account actually creates reserve balances. When the repo matures, the dealer returns the loan plus interest, and the Fed returns the collateral. The return of funds to the Fed extinguishes the reserves that were originally created by the repo.
The collateral pledged by dealers towards the repo has a "haircut" applied, which means they are valued at slightly less than market value. This haircut reflects the underlying risk of the collateral and protects the Fed against a change in its value. Haircuts are therefore specific to classes of collateral. For example, a U.S. Treasury bill might have one haircut rate, while an agency coupon might have a different haircut.
Market participants frequently use repurchase agreements and RRP transactions to acquire funds or put funds to use for short periods. However, transactions not involving the central bank do not affect total reserves in the banking system.

————————————————-
Do you think that telling us to learn Russian was for nothing?
Do you really think that Uranium1 was only for the benefit of Deep State pockets, but the party who won the most wasn't the Russians?
Do you think that Hillary's involvement in Libyan central bank funds and stashed billions after the fall of Gaddafi didn't benefit Russia?
Do you really think that Obama, a closet communist with FBI and Communist connected parents (if they were that), groomed in Communism and groomed to lead the USA wasn't closely tied to Russia?
Do you really think that Russia, the convenient lackey in the 2016 election and subsequent ruse to blame Trumps win on the Russians didn't benefit Russia?
When the story uncovers, the deep penetration of the US political, security, and industrial areas will be something like a bad Hollywood movie.
Why is China and Russia becoming bed buddies, why are the so afraid of Trump? Why is the USA blocking everything to do with Chinese technology (when we know Russia has better and more skilled hackers and technicians)?
How deep were the moles? Do you really want to know?
We won't know for at least 30 years how bad this was, and what Q+ did to clean house, but I suspect it was the most epic spy story in world history.

Q Research General #8580: Gold Diggin in The Graveyard, Last Call at Feelz Bar Edition
>>6709114
No… it's the gold.
The founders were very specific on this point: They clearly understood that "money" had to be based on something of intrinsic value to avoid fraud in the monetary system.
They selected gold and silver coin and named it as such in our Constitution:
"No State shall make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts;"
We are currently living beyond our means as a society.
We are allowing desperate, destitute people to flood into our country.
We are exporting our jobs and manufacturing base to nations historically hostile to us and we have debased our currency and allowed criminal fraud to run rampant in our banking and financial systems.
At some point a certain inevitably will present itself clearly.
How long until this harbinger arrives and who will suffer the consequences?
Alan Greenspan explains it in this short six page summary
Gold and economic freedom
Editor's note - It may surprise more than a few gold devotees to learn they have an ideological friend in none other than Federal Reserve Board chairman Alan Greenspan. Starting in the 1950s, in fact, Greenspan was a stalwart member of Ayn Rand's intellectual inner circle. A self-designated "objectivist", Rand preached a strongly libertarian view, applying it to politics and economics, as well as to religion and popular culture. Under her influence, Greenspan wrote for the first issue of what was to become the widely-circulated Objectivist Newsletter. When Gerald Ford appointed him to the Council of Economic Advisors, Greenspan invited Rand to his swearing-in ceremony. He even attended her funeral in 1982. In 1967, Rand published her non-fiction book, Capitalism, the Unknown Ideal. In it, she included Gold and Economic Freedom, the essay by Alan Greenspan which appears below. Drawing heavily from Murray Rothbard's much longer The Mystery of banking, Greenspan argues persuasively in favor of a gold standard and against the concept of a central bank.
"In the absence of the gold standard, there is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation There is no safe store of value. If there were, the government would have to make its holding illegal, as was done in the case of gold. If everyone decided, for example, to convert all his bank deposits to silver or copper or any other good, and thereafter declined to accept checks as payment for goods, bank deposits would lose their purchasing power and government-created bank credit would be worthless as a claim on goods. The financial policy of the welfare state requires that there be no way for the owners of wealth to protect themselves."
"This is the shabby secret of the welfare statists' tirades against gold. Deficit spending is simply a scheme for the confiscation of wealth. Gold stands in the way of this insidious process. It stands as a protector of property rights. If one grasps this, one has no difficulty in understanding the statists' antagonism toward the gold standard."

"It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning."
-Henry Ford
The few who can understand the system will be either so interested in its profits, or so dependent on its favors, that there will be no opposition from that class, while, on the other hand, that great body of people, mentally incapable of comprehending the tremendous advantage that Capital derives from the system, will bear its burden without complaint and, perhaps, without even suspecting that the system is inimical to their interests."

Q Research General #8575: Lazy Saturday Afternoon Edition
IMF's Lagarde highlights potential disruptive nature of fintech
FUKUOKA (Reuters) - International Monetary Fund Managing Director Christine Lagarde warned on Saturday that the increasing presence of technology giants using big data and artificial intelligence could cause a significant disruption to the world's financial system.
The rapid development of financial technology (fintech) has increased access to cheap payment and settlement systems for low-income households in emerging countries where traditional banking networks are scarce.
But it has raised concern about the increasing dominance of big technology firms in mobile payments, which could force global policymakers to rethink the way they regulate the banking system and ensure financial settlements are executed safely.
"A significant disruption to the financial landscape is likely to come from the big tech firms, who will use their enormous customer bases and deep pockets to offer financial products based on big data and artificial intelligence," Lagarde told a symposium on financial technology held on the sidelines of the G20 finance leaders' meeting in Fukuoka, southern Japan.
While such innovation may help modernize financial markets, they could make the financial system vulnerable such by putting payment and settlement systems under the control of a handful of technology giants, she added.
"This presents a unique systemic challenge to financial stability and efficiency, and one I hope we can touch on during the G20, and address in a cooperative and consistent fashion."
Lagarde said China presents an example of the trade-off between benefits and challenges posed by financial technology.
"Over the last five years, technology growth in China has been extremely successful and allowed millions of new entrants to benefit from access to financial products and the creation of high-quality jobs," she said. "But it has also led to two firms controlling more than 90% of the mobile payments market."
Addressing the pros and cons of financial innovation is among topics of debate at the two-day meeting of Group of 20 finance ministers and central bank heads that began on Saturday.

G-20 finance chiefs mull 'fair tax' reforms to boost growth
FUKUOKA, Japan (AP) – Finance chiefs of the Group of 20 major economies meeting in the Japanese city of Fukuoka debated Saturday over how to revise tax systems to ensure big companies pay their fair share and support economies as global growth slows.
One aim is to prevent a "race to the bottom" by countries trying to lure companies by offering unsustainably and unfairly low tax rates as an incentive.
Ensuring governments capture a fair share of profits from the massive growth of businesses like Facebook and Amazon has grown in importance over the many years the G-20 finance chiefs have been debating reforms aimed at preventing tax evasion and modernizing policies, as financial markets and businesses have been transformed by technology.
"Everyone, we are now facing a turning point. This could be the biggest reform of the long established international framework in over 100 years," Japanese Finance Minister Taro Aso told the group.
While the officials from both wealthy and developing nations differed over some details, they agreed on the need to get the job done.
"It sounds like we have a strong consensus, and now we deal with the technicalities of how we turn this into reality," U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said Saturday.
The talks in this bustling port city come just weeks ahead of the June 28-29 summit of G-20 leaders in Osaka, Japan, where President Donald Trump and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping are due to meet and possibly work on resolving their bruising standoff over trade and technology.
Mnuchin has been heading trade talks with Beijing along with U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer. He was due to meet with Yi Gang, governor of China's central bank, in Fukuoka. It was unclear if their meeting might lead to a restart of those talks after weeks of stalemate.
Concern over the potential blow to the world economy from the battle of wills between the two biggest economies has deepened as the Trump administration prepares to expand retaliatory tariff hikes of up to 25% to another $300 billion of Chinese products.
The United States now is imposing 25% taxes on $250 billion in Chinese goods. Beijing has counterpunched by targeting $110 billion worth of American products, focusing on farm goods such as soybeans in a deliberate effort to inflict pain on Trump supporters in the U.S. heartland.

Qatar
They've got the Clintons' money
http://www.whatdoesitmean.com/index2141.htm
I know, derpy sauce, but it's late
On Saturday 15 October (2016), this report notes, the SVR reported to the MoF that Hillary Clinton and John Podesta met with JP Morgan Chase & Company CEO Jamie Dimon at Clinton's Chappaqua Compound outside of New York City-and who, in 2009, both President Obama and Hillary Clinton allowed to break US laws by his, Dimon's, being able to buy millions-of-dollars of his company's stocks prior to the public being told his JP Morgan bank was receiving a Federal Reserve $80 billion credit line-and that caused JP Morgan's stocks to soar and that have had an astonishing 920% dividend growth since 2010.
Within 12 hours of the Hillary Clinton-John Podesta-Jamie Dimon meeting at the Chappaqua Compound, this report continues, the BIS registered the transfer of $1.8 billion from the Clinton Foundation to the Qatar central bank.
To why the Clinton Foundation transferred this enormous sum of money to Qatar, this report explains, is due to the longstanding ties between this Islamic neo-patrimonial absolute monarchy and then US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton who "oversaw/managed" the "massive bribery scheme" that allowed this Gulf State nation to secure the 2022 World Cup-and that the Qataris were so appreciative of they donated millions to the Clinton Foundation, and incredibly, in 2011, gave former US President Bill Clinton $1 million for a birthday present-bringing Hillary Clinton's total "cash grab" from these Persian Gulf sheiks of $100 million-all occurring as recently released secret emails revealed Hillary Clinton's knowledge that both Qatar and Saudi Arabia were, and still are, funding ISIS.
To what Jamie Dimon "related/said to" Hillary Clinton that caused her to suddenly transfer $1.8 billion to Qatar, this report notes, revolves around his JP Morgan bank being told by the US Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) in April (2016) that this "megabanks" master plan to save itself had "serious deficiencies" that could "pose serious adverse effects to the financial stability of the United States".
Two months after the FDIC's warning letter to Jamie Dimon, in June (2016), this report says, he cryptically "sounded a warning" that the United States sub-prime auto loan bubble was nearing collapse and stated that "someone is going to get hurt".
Unbeknownst to the American people, MoF experts in this report explain, is that just 8 weeks ago multiple warnings began to be issued that the United States $1 trillion sub-prime auto loan bubble was beginning to collapse-and that this past week became so severe the bank of America issued a recession warning telling its elite customers that "this market is scary", and the British-based multinational banking and financial services company HSBC, likewise, issued a "Red Alert" warning all of its clients warning them to "prepare for a severe market crash".
With one of the first "victims/casualties" of this sub-prime auto loan bubble being the German global banking giant Deutsche bank that is "nearing its doom" and laying off tens-of-thousands of it workers worldwide, this report grimly states, the American mainstream propaganda media is failing to allow the people of that nation to know the full extent of this looming catastrophe-who unlike Hillary Clinton who has just protected $1.8 billion of her wealth, will be left defenseless once again at the hands of their elite rulers.
As Wikileaks secret Hillary Clinton emails have now proven that the US propaganda mainstream media is now totally controlled by her, and who continue their blackout on the "Clinton Crime Story of the Century", this report continues, the absolutely horrifying statistics released this week showing that an astounding 35% of American who have been brutalized by the Obama-Clinton regime these past 8 years are so buried in debt they can no longer pay their bills is, likewise, being kept from these most innocent of peoples.
And rather than the US propaganda mainstream media warning the American people of their economies looming destruction, this report concludes, they have, instead, begun a "systemic mainstream misinformation" campaign to manipulate the presidential election polls showing Hillary Clinton leading-but that stands opposed to actual (but unreported) polls showing Donald Trump leading.
Critical Note: A highly classified SVR amendment to this MoF report states that upon Qatar receiving Hillary Clinton's $1.8 billion earlier today, one of that sheikdoms royal places was "ordered emptied" in preparation for the "early November arrival" of a "high value" dignitary-Hillary Clinton perhaps?

Chile central bank Stuns Market With a Half-Point Rate Cut
Chile's central bank stunned analysts by cutting its key interest rate by 50 basis points, the biggest reduction in a decade, saying the economy could grow faster without fueling inflation.
Policy makers reduced the benchmark rate to 2.5%, surprising all 18 economists surveyed by Bloomberg. The analysts had expected borrowing costs to be left unchanged. The bank is famed as one of the most predictable in Latin America.
Growth has remained weak in the first four months of the year, even as a flood of immigrants into the country from Venezuela has increased its potential growth rate – the pace at which the economy can expand without fueling inflation, the bank said. At the same time, the U.S.-China trade conflict has undermined global growth, cutting the price of Chile's copper exports, it said in a statement accompanying today's decision.
Policy makers cut their estimate for the neutral rate of borrowing costs by a quarter-point, indicating that previous monetary policy wasn't stimulating the economy as much as predicted.
"They are taking preventive action," said Miguel Ricaurte, an economist at Banco Itau in Santiago. "We are probably going to have a long pause now to see how the global economy develops."
Gross domestic product rose 1.6% in the first quarter from the year earlier, after expanding 3.6 percent in the last three months of 2018. Growth remained subdued in April, with the economy expanding 2.1 percent.

I'll add to this:
the ONLY time money should be created, according to the original purpose of a central bank, is when a bank can't meet the withdrawal demands of its account holders. "Lender of Last Resort". But the bank should be held to the fire to pay that back and it should be excruciatingly painful for them to ever fail their reserve requirements.
During Reagan, the Fed rate was about 20%, not this 0.01% shit or w/e we have now. Trump's push for more quantitative easing is racing us right back off a cliff. When money is hard as a black dick, the Roths have an even harder time diverting it to spend on evil bullshit.
The problem we have now is that the damage is done and our economy is a walking ghost; all the dirty money in the past decade bought up total control of Corporate America and we have to take back the voting stock by force before we can continue on this gold banking adventure. All corporations are part of a single cartel and are making sure to spend only on each others' services and filter out small business. To get into the corporate world you are required to have your certificate of college indoctrination. All competition is an illusion. We have the worst monopoly now, the Monopoly of the Whole Economy.

Game Over for the Federal Reserve's Management of Equity Mkts-for their benefit
keep in mind this is not a hit piece on equity's or the current run of the market-it's attacking the policy's that have allowed them, up until recently, to control what those markets did for it-and it's owners-benefit.
Game over. The grand central bank experiment of the last 10 years has ended in utter and complete failure. The games of cheap money and constant intervention that have brought you record global debt to the tune of $250 trillion and record wealth inequality are about to embark on a new round of peddling blue meth again.
Australia has already cut, so has India. The ECB is talking about it, markets are already pricing in multiple Fed cuts. The new global rate cutting cycle begins anew before the last one ever ended. Brace yourselves as no one, absolutely no one, can know how this will turn out.
Absolutely staggering. We are witnessing a historic unraveling here. Everything every central banker has uttered last year was completely wrong. Every projection they made over the last 10 years has been wrong. No wonder Jay Powell wants to toss the dot plot. It's a public record of failure.
Why place confidence in people who are staring at the ruins of the policies they unleashed on the world and are about to unleash again?
All the distortions of 10 years of cheap money, debt, wealth inequality, zombie companies, negative debt, TINA, you name it, will all be further exacerbated by hapless and scared central bankers whose only solution to failure is to embark on the same cheap money train again. All under the banner to "extend the business cycle" at all costs. Never asking whether they should nor considering the consequences. But since they are not elected by the people and face zero consequences for failure they don't have to consider the collateral damage they inflict.
I repeat: Structural bears who have predicted that central bankers would never be able to normalize the construct they created and has produced the world's greatest debt explosion ever were 100% correct. We're all staring at a colossal policy failure with no accountability.
this is ALL down to the FRB and NO ONE else.
At this moment in time with the ECB's balance sheet at all time highs amid collapsing inflation expectations: see cap#2
Not because of earnings, not because of revenues or growth. Because they have to as yields are once again collapsing and central bankers are again promising free money.
again FOCUS on the FRB and it's problems with the yield curve-this is the real issue why they are needing to cut rates-if it was about data and performance they would have done it already.
"To extend the business cycle" Jay Powell stated this week. Since when is this the primary purpose of the Fed? What happened to inflation and price stability? Already they are tossing their stated inflation goals and are talking about letting inflations run hotter if they can juice it up. There's no integrity, only moving targets and carrots driven by equity prices.
what this does not account for is the POTUS Put-you really think that equity markets would drop as the assets of these people are being seized?-why would they allow this?-think about that.
But its track record is obvious: It has failed to meet its inflation targets (ill guided as they may be) for 10 years. It has failed to normalize despite years of promises to do so, and will never be able to normalize. Between 2008-2019 the Fed was non-accommodative for 3 months. It blew up in their faces in December. They'll never be non accommodative again. They can't,
because the ticking time bomb of lower yields is forcing them to act.
https://northmantrader.com/2019/06/07/game-over-2/
although this article assumes the FRB is still in charge- it is not imo.
Cap#3- is some evidence that the FRB's own mechanism of saving the mkts for themselves at critical times is being used against them.
To put it bluntly: they always need some type of event to re-start the cycle again and they have not been able to manufacture it this time because they are not in control-Patriots are.

Economic clouds gather over Germany
Concerns are growing over the strength of Germany's economy - the largest in the eurozone - following the release of more gloomy official figures.
Industrial production in April fell by 1.9% compared with the previous month and exports were 0.5% lower than a year earlier.
Meanwhile new forecasts from the national central bank, the Bundesbank, reflect the more downbeat prospects.
The bank is now predicting growth of just 0.6% for this year, compared with a forecast of 1.6% it made in December.
The Bundesbank actually predicts a small decline in economic activity in the current quarter, though it expects growth to bounce back somewhat next year to 1.2%.
Trade disputes
Germany is especially exposed to the uncertainty that is affecting international trade.
It is a manufacturing powerhouse and sells a large share of what it produces abroad. Only the much larger economies of the United States and China export more goods.
China's economic slowdown has made its mark on Germany. It is an important market for German industry.
There is also what the Bundesbank calls a "muted outlook" for trade more generally.
The bank says disputes are weighing on global commerce.
That is a reference to the policies pursued by the Trump administration. Europe has been affected by the tariffs on steel and aluminium which the US imposed because, the US administration argued, imports of the metals were undermining national security.
Germany especially will be exposed if the US decides to impose additional tariffs on car imports, something President Trump is considering.
There is also a wider impact on confidence about international trade resulting from the tariff increases that the US and China have imposed on one another.
Rate cuts on the horizon?
These clouds over Germany were to some extent reflected in moves made on Thursday by the European central bank (ECB).
The ECB indicated that its ultra-low interest rates are likely to remain in place until at least mid-2020, six months longer than the guidance it had given previously.
Some members of the ECB's policymaking committee also raised the possibility of further cuts in interest rates or a resumption of the bank's quantitative easing programme, buying financial assets with newly created money.
The bank's president, Mario Draghi, said that the probability of a recession was very low. His explanation for the moves focused more on the eurozone's persistently low inflation, which is currently below the bank's target of below, but close to, 2%.
It is worth remembering that Germany has very low unemployment - almost the lowest of the developed economies.
That said, it doesn't bode well for the eurozone more widely that its largest economy is having a weak patch.

'In Gold We Trust': Waning confidence in US sends world's central banks on buying spree
Governments around the world have recently been on a "gold-buying spree." These countries have a tactful reason for doing so, and this reason is directly tied to the anticipation of the inevitable end of US hegemony.
central banks are among the largest purchasers of gold. So far in 2019, they have bought 145.5 tons of gold, which is more in a quarter of a year than central banks have purchased in the preceding six years. To put it bluntly, this figure represents a 68 percent increase from the year before. Last year, central banks increased their reserves by 651.5 tonnes compared to 375 tonnes in 2017. Reportedly, this is the largest net purchase of gold since 1967.
Most interesting, however, is the class of countries that we find are turning to hoarding more and more gold, many of which are deemed to be adversaries of Washington.
As always, Russia is the largest buyer of gold. In 2018, Russia's central bank purchased 274.3 tons of gold. It also dumped 84 percent of its US treasury debts (we will come back to why this is important later.)

Turning its back on greenback: Russia slashes share of US dollar in international reserves
The central bank of Russia continues to work on diversifying its foreign exchange reserves, and is gradually moving away from the US dollar, the head of the regulator Elvira Nabiullina says.
According to the bank governor, Russia's slower economic growth during the two years through 2015 after Western sanctions were introduced, had a huge negative impact on the country's gold and foreign currency reserves. Back then, the holdings reportedly shrunk to $356 billion.
"However, the reserves have recovered, currently standing at $490 billion," Nabiullina said in an interview with Japanese financial daily Nikkei. "We are currently working on diversification of the national holdings in order to use them under various economic and geopolitical conditions."
Nabiullina stressed that cutting the share of the US dollar is one of the most important focus areas for the country's regulator. She added that while eliminating the role of the greenback, the Russian central bank has been gradually increasing the share of the euro, yuan and gold in its foreign reserves.

China central bank steps up liquidity support for more banks after Baoshang takeover
SHANGHAI (Reuters) - Boosting liquidity to the financial system on Thursday, China's central bank signaled its readiness to supply smaller banks with a steady stream of cash after the takeover of a troubled lender, letting more banks access the funds.
The People's bank of China (PBOC) lent 500 billion yuan ($72.32 billion) to financial institutions via its medium-term lending facility (MLF), offsetting 463 billion yuan worth of MLF loans maturing on the same day.
It left the interest rate for the one-year MLF unchanged at 3.30 percent.
"The central bank rolled over the same amount of maturing 463 billion yuan worth of MLF on the day, and extended more to small- and medium-sized banks, bringing the total amount of MLF operations to 500 billion yuan," the PBOC said a statement on its website.
Money market traders said the central bank has steadily expanded the list of qualified recipients for the liquidity tool this year, allowing more smaller lenders to directly tap longer-term funds.
"While the intention is still to promote lending to small and medium-sized enterprises, the priority now is to support smaller and mid-sized banks, before they meet the macro prudential and lending criteria," said Frances Cheung, head of Asia macro strategy at Westpac in Singapore.
"The market is optimistic that PBOC will be supportive, and the PBOC is unlikely to disappoint amid the current risk-off environment," she said.
Thursday's liquidity injection comes after regulators seized control of Inner Mongolia-based Baoshang bank on May 24, citing serious credit risks. The move drove interbank financing costs higher and sparked worries about the broader economy.
To help stabilize sentiment, the central bank last week made its biggest liquidity injection in more than four months. On Sunday, in a further message of reassurance to investors, the PBOC said in a statement that it is not currently planning more bank takeovers and that it will use various monetary policy tools to stabilize money markets and boost banking system liquidity.
Market watchers expect rising economic pressures from a protracted trade war with the United States and a significant liquidity shortfall due to maturing loans in the coming months to require more long-term funds from the PBOC, even if higher liquidity makes the already weakening yuan vulnerable to more losses.
Another 200 billion yuan worth of MLF loans are due to mature on June 19, and more than 1.6 trillion yuan worth of negotiable certificates of deposit (NCD), an interbank debt instrument, expire this month, according to Refinitiv data.
On Thursday, the central bank also injected 10 billion yuan through reverse repo operations, against the 30 billion yuan of such loans set to expire on the same day.

China's money rates jump after Baoshang bank takeover stokes liquidity fears
SHANGHAI, May 28 (Reuters) - China's primary money rates
rose on Tuesday as market sentiment remained fragile after the
takeover by regulators of a troubled regional bank, heralding a
possible weakening of small banks' ability to access interbank
funding.
The People's bank of China (PBOC) vowed on the weekend to
offer liquidity support to Inner Mongolia-based Baoshang bank
after regulators took it over, citing serious credit
risks posed by the lender.
While the central bank kept pumping liquidity into financial
system, interbank rates stayed up on worries about broader
contagion risks.
The PBOC injected a net 70 billion yuan ($10.14 billion)
through its regular open market operations on Tuesday, following
on from the previous day's 80 billion yuan net cash injection.
"The Baoshang incident is pressuring short-term liquidity,"
said a trader at a Chinese bank. "Along with month-end seasonal
factors, cash conditions are becoming tighter and pushing up the
near-date swap points higher. And that has led the swap curve
moving upward."
Chinese liquidity conditions typically tighten at month-end
as cash demand rises due to factors including bank requirements
for funds to meet regulatory requirements such as
loan-to-deposit ratios.
Ji Tianhe, China rates and FX strategist at BNP Paribas in
Beijing, said that the takeover of Baoshang could be interpreted
as a "marginal targeted deleveraging" campaign, and could change
the ecosystem of the interbank market.
"Smaller banks are supposed to serve the real economy, but
some turned out be very active in interbank trading in order to
expand their size. Now this latest move is pushing similar small
lenders back to their core business," Ji said.
He added that as small banks are not allowed to borrow in
the exchange market and have to largely rely on bigger banks for
interbank funding, "they are now facing a challenging funding
situation."
Fitch Ratings downplayed the effect of the Baoshang takeover
on interbank rates, but said that the regulatory seizure
indicated general weakness among China's smaller lenders.
"We believe the government's propensity to support small
banks is lower than for the large state banks, while the impact
that a small bank failure would have on market confidence is
untested," the rating agency said in a statement.

Only 3 countries left w/o ROTHSCHILD central bank!
The Rothschild family is slowly but surely having their central banks established in every country of this world, giving them incredible amount of wealth and power.
In the year of 2000 there were seven countries without a Rothschild owned central bank:
Afghanistan
Iraq
Sudan
Libya
Cuba
North Korea
Iran
It is not a coincidence that these country, which are listed above were and are still being under attack by the western media, since one of the main reasons these countries have been under attack in the first place is because they do not have a Rothschild owned central bank yet. The first step in having a central bank establish in a country is to get them to accept an outrageous loans, which puts the country in debt of the central bank and under the control of the Rothschilds. If the country does not accept the loan, the leader of this particular country will be assassinated and a Rothschild aligned leader will be put into the position, and if the assassination does not work, the country will be invaded and have a central bank established with force all under the name of terrorism.

China's central bank: "Everyone, Please Don't Worry"
Unsurprisingly, the Xi Jinping-led government has little interest in commemorating the event, or in allowing others to pause and remember. Domestic social media platforms have "barred users from changing their profile photos and other information," Bloomberg says, while financial data company Refinitiv has blocked all Tiananmen-related stories from its Eikon terminals, after the Cyberspace Administration of China "threatened to suspend the company's service," according to Reuters.
While Refinitiv may suffer a reputational knock in the West for this evident kowtow, its social credit score looks poised for an upgrade.
If only the recent trouble in China's banking system could be so easily suppressed. Following the government's takeover of distressed Baoshang bank Co., the People's bank of China tried to calm the situation by assuring investors that no further such interventions were in the cards: "Everyone," says a message on the PBOC website: "please don't worry. At present we don't have this plan." But Bloomberg reports today that a pair of smaller institutions, Guilin bank Co., Ltd. and Jincheng bank Co., Ltd., have delayed plans to sell RMB 1 billion ($140 million) in tier-2 bond sales following the Baoshang news.
Over the weekend, bank of Jinzhou, which holds $113 billion and $53 billion of assets and deposits, respectively, saw its auditor Ernst & Young Hua Ming LLP resign due to "indications that some loans to institutional customers weren't used in ways consistent with the purposes stated in documents," per Bloomberg. In response, the bank's 5.5% dollar-pay perpetual bonds fell below 65 from 81 a week ago, for a 19.2% yield-to-call.

- Question: ‘Yellow Brick Road’.
Answer: National Academy graduates fondly recall their experience on the “Yellow Brick Road.†The final test of the fitness challenge, the Yellow Brick Road is a grueling 6.1-mile run through a hilly, wooded trail built by the Marines. Along the way, the participants must climb over walls, run through creeks, jump through simulated windows, scale rock faces with ropes, crawl under barbed wire in muddy water, maneuver across a cargo net, and more. When (and if) the students complete this difficult test, they receive an actual yellow brick to memorialize their achievement. The course came to be known as the “Yellow Brick Road†years ago, after the Marines placed yellow bricks at various spots to show runners the way through the wooded trail. The overall fitness challenge began at the National Academy in 1981 and has evolved over the years; we started awarding yellow bricks in 1988. https://www.fbi.gov/services/training-academy/national-academy
Extra Answer:
Open Answer: "Yellow Brick Road." Alice & Wonderland. Marines to follow the path to find the stolen uranium and take-down the Uranium Crime Syndicate via the mass arrests. CERN LHC tied-in with BITCOIN, created by Alice at the CERN LHC labs, and the Uranium Crime Syndicate uses Bitcoin and Alice to hide their earnings in Bitcoin. Marines to follow the brick road and go after these criminals. "Q Is saying that the U.S. will return to sound money (no cabal-controlled central bank (no Federal Reserve)) The Yellow Brick Road is a central part of the book The Wizard of Oz, which was written in 1900, before the Federal Reserve was created. The Yellow Brick Road refers to the gold standard which refers to sound money. Currency that is tied to gold retains value. Currency that is not tied to gold is printed in massive quantities and loses value. The Wizard of Oz was about U.S. currency, gold, and silver in late 1800s and early 1900s. Explanation of the characters of the book: https://theyellowbrickroadfreeblog.wordpress.com/the-meaning-of-the-yellow-brick-road/ ******** "Yellow..." could also be an obtuse reference to the uranium one scandal and FBI involvement. A yellow brick might be a gold bar - we are well on our "way" (road) to a gold backed currency. ********** There are supposedly several thousand tons of gold in the Grand Canyon held under guard by the U.S. Military. Several of the past Presidents going back to the Bush I have tried to get access to these locations but have been denied. Also the cover of the January 1988 edition of 'The Economist' (owned by the Rothschilds) depicts a one world currency in 2018. This could explain why things are moving with such speed and ferocity.

Answer:
Extra Answer:
Open Answer: Paul A. Volcker, the Federal Reserve chairman, received an urgent warning two weeks after Ronald Reagan won the 1980 presidential election. Some of the president-elect’s advisers, he was told, wanted to abolish the central bank and replace it with a computer program that would manage interest rates and monetary policy. https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/13/business/economy/trump-the-fed-yellen-gets-ready-for-reckoning.html On March 30, 1981, President Ronald Reagan and three others were shot and wounded by John Hinckley Jr. in Washington, D.C., as they were leaving a speaking engagement at the Washington Hilton Hotel. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attempted_assassination_of_Ronald_Reagan Jan 19 1982 ''I can't respond to that because the Federal Reserve System is autonomous,'' the President said at a news conference, when asked if he agreed with recent calls for Mr. Volcker's resignation. ''There is no way I can comment on that,'' Mr. Reagan added. http://www.nytimes.com/1982/01/20/business/reagan-criticizes-fed-s-move.html Gunman Hinckley had lived in Lubbock TX from 1974 through 1980, when he was an intermittent student at Texas Tech University there. Hinckley's father founded the Vanderbilt Energy Corporation (an Oil Company). Vanderbilt Energy Corporation filed as a Domestic For-Profit Corporation in the State of Texas and is no longer active. This corporate entity was filed approximately forty-two years ago on Thursday, May 1, 1975 , according to public records filed with Texas Secretary of State. On Tuesday, March 31 the Houston Post published a copyrighted story under the headline: "BUSH'S SON WAS TO DINE WITH SUSPECT'S BROTHER, by Arthur Wiese and Margarte Downing." The lead paragraph read as follows: Scott Hinckley, the brother of John Hinckley Jr., who is charged with shooting President Reagan and three others, was to have been a dinner guest Tuesday night at the home of Neil Bush, son of Vice President George Bush, The Houston Post has learned. According to the article, Neil Bush had admitted on Monday, March 30 that he was personally acquainted with Scott Hinckley, having met with him on one occasion in the recent past. Neil Bush also stated that he knew the Hinckley family, and referred to large monetary contributions made by the Hinckleys to the Bush 1980 presidential campaign.

As the FT reports, The Rockefellers and The Rothschilds are uniting under a common group as Rothschild Investment Trust and Rockefeller Financial Services become one. The patriarchs (David Rockefeller 96, and Lord Rothschild 76) have been 'connected' for five decades. Between the Rothschild's 'sprawling' multi-century banking empire across Europe and the Rockefeller's roots in 1882 Oil-money, we can only imagine the Illuminati, Freemasons, Templars, and central bankers of the world are quaking in their boots at this new global force for change - The Rothsellers or is it The Rockchilds. What next? It seems only Soros is left to complete the holy trinity..."

- Question: Wealth (over generations) buys power. Power (over generations) buys more wealth/control. More wealth/control buys countries and its people. Families combined (TRI) = NWO. Inner TRI families will collapse
Answer: Saudi Arabia Rothchild Soros SA - provides a way of undisclosed influence over individuals, the source of all financial persuasion. When the clean up of SA occurred the majority of the TRIs slush funds went with it. SA’s job is to bribe, fund and stay relatively behind the scenes. SA = Controls people in governments Rothchild - provides a way of influence over matters of national finance (all the central banks). They are able to control and manipulate national finances to their favour via “legitimised avenues†such as stocks, property investments etc. While these avenues generate massive wealth they are also fairly well documented hence the need for a “cash flow†partner in SA. Rothchilds have also worked their way into some extremely influential positions to be able to manipulate things to their benefit. They own the newswires Associated Press (AP), Thomson-Reuters as well as publications like The Economist. This is the way they can set and control the narrative. Rothchild = Influence + manipulation (information/narrative) Soros - influences mainstream media. It’s no good having the power to control and manipulate national finances unless you have a way of voicing your agendas. Soros is reported to have connections to over 30 MSM outlets. Soros = Control of information Soros - also influences people through organizations (Open Society) which is a clearinghouse for subversive organizations that works with others like National Endowment for Democracy and other CIA fronts. Through these, infiltration into academia and other areas of society can exert and enormous influence over the public and social trends. The "color revolutions" where the same flyers were passed out in different countries are an example of this influence. Overthrow governments for the central families (TRI - the cabal) via CIA and using social media to guide the public. Soros = Control of mass movements of people/social trends

- Question: How many planes carried the cash into Iran.
Answer: There were 2 deliveries. Total of $1.7 billion in Cash, via Switzerland, then on to Iran. https://www.wsj.com/articles/u-s-sent-two-more-planeloads-of-cash-to-iran-after-initial-payment-1473208256 (behind paywall) https://archive.is/1kjOh (full article) The planes did not all land in Iran.
Extra Answer: $400 million to Iran in January 2016, converted into non-US currencies (!) by Swiss and Dutch central banks 2 more shipments $1.3 billion cash payments in Swiss francs, euros and "other currencies" on Jan 22, and Feb 5 which an Iranian cargo plane picked up in Geneva. Settlement announced by State Dept on Jan 17, but didn't brief Congress that the entire amount had been paid in cash. "Sanctions impair Tehran’s ability to receive payments using the international banking system. The settlement resulted from a legal arbitration under way in the Netherlands since the early 1980s between the U.S. and Iran. At issue was a $400 million payment Tehran’s last monarch, Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, made to a Pentagon trust fund just months before his government was toppled. The money was earmarked for airplane parts that were never delivered. Obama administration officials have said they believed the U.S. was set to lose the court proceedings in The Hague and would end up being liable for as much as $10 billion because of accrued interest."
