The U.S. Attempts to Diffuse Turmoil with Russia by Officially Accusing Them of Hacking and Trying to Effect Elections

Obama’s last ditch effort to start World War 3 is entering high gear. In lieu of Russia moving nuclear capable missiles in Europe, the United States, officially, accused Russia of hacking into the DNC and leaking the emails that demonstrated a wanton corruption readily found in banana republics. Naturally, instead of addressing the actual corruption discovered, the Obama administration has opted to obfuscate instead — and to demonize Russia of course.

“We believe, based on the scope and sensitivity of these efforts, that only Russia’s senior-most officials could have authorized these activities,” a U.S. government statement said on Friday about hacking of political groups.

The statement by the Department of Homeland Security and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence did not blame the Russian government for hacking attempts against state election systems, but said “scanning and probing” of those systems originated in most cases from servers operated by a Russian company.

“These thefts and disclosures are intended to interfere with the U.S. election process,” the statement said. “However, we are not now in a position to attribute this activity to the Russian Government,” the statement said.

Notice the wording of this accusation, saying Russian officials ‘could have’ authorized the activities. Furthermore, they added that none of their evidence points to the Russian government being behind the attacks.

Then why the fuck even offer the statement?

This is an opinion, not fact. The DHS is unable to prove Russia was behind the attacks and merely throw out the talking points for the press to gobble up in an effort to hurt the Trump campaign — as both the President and Hillary have painted a narrative of Comrade Trump and Putin vacationing with one another, sipping Moscow Mules in Siberia.

I cannot think of a worse PR disaster than this, aside from CMG’s outbreak of poisonous food that swept the country last year — forcing people into hospital beds for extended stays.

It’s bad enough to serve any human being a fucking fried chicken head with beak attached, but to serve a demigod one, a professional NFL player for the Greenbay Packers, in unfuckingbelievably unfortunate.

Cook took to social media on Friday with a photo of the crispy chicken head next to the company’s logo. He noted that the the “tongue, eyes, and beak [were] all present. With extra seasoning” in a reply tweet.

Management at the disgusting chain of greasy chicken heads responded:

“Buffalo Wild Wings takes food preparation, service and quality extremely seriously and we are looking into this situation,” a spokesman told CNBC. “We’ve reached out to Jared Cook and our suppliers for more information.”

Shares of BWLD are down 29% over the past year.

On December the 4th, 2016, Italians will roll (extra meatball) into voting stations to cast a vote on a referendum to reform the government. If passed, it will be the biggest reform to the Italian government since the monarchy was disposed of in 1946. It will reduce the number of corrupt Senators from 315 to 100 — which might pave the way for a more efficient government.

Please don’t look at America as a case study of an efficiently run government.

That all sounds great, only that the Prime Minister, ‘the great reformist’, Renzi,  has tied his fate to the outcome of this vote. If it fails to pass, he will resign — just like Cameron and his BREXIT gambit.

Many believe that if Renzi is forced to resign, it will pave the way for a general referendum calling for Italy to exit the EU. Amongst the major states in the EU, the people of Italy dislike the union most — with more than 50% saying they want out.

“I’m glad Britain is getting to vote, and we should have a referendum here too,” Fabio, a bar owner in northern Rome, told The Local.

“The worst thing we ever did was join the euro – it’s made life so much more expensive and normal Italians poorer; so many small businesses have been forced to close. The only winners seem to be the corporates and politicians.”

Italy’s fastest growing political party, The Five Star Movement, is at the vanguard of leaving the disgusting and filthy corrupt and abjectly punitive EU. Renzi has acknowledged the importance of winning the referendum and tied it to ceding power to The Five Star Movement and exit from the EU. His hubris will be the source of his demise.

Renzi recently acknowledged the risks Italy is facing, telling CNBC: “We’re in a situation where perhaps the Five Star Movement are allowed to lead this country. The people need to understand what voting ‘no’ here means: we learnt that in the UK.”

The prime minister’s big miscalculation, said Scarpetta, was that he believed that the constitutional reform was a top priority for Italian voters who were eager for change. “First, it is clear that for many Italians, the priority is returning to economic growth. The second is that, by personalising the referendum, he has united all the opposition against it,” Scarpetta said.

According to recent polling done by Corriere della Sera, 23% favored passage vs 25% opposed, with 52% undecided. In an EMG poll, 31% favored vs 36% opposed, with 33% undecided.

Clearly, this is going to come down to the wire, just like BREXIT.

Here is globalist hack, Italian Finance Minister Pier Carlo Padoan, telling Bloomberg that everything will be great, with or without passage of the referendum.

Estonia is reporting Russia is moving nuclear capable, Iskander-M missiles, into Kalingrad — a Russian province sandwiched between Poland and Lithuania. Clearly, this is in response to the litany of things being said out of Washington — stemming from Russia’s role in the Syrian war — at the request of the Syrian government.

“This weapon is highly sophisticated and there is no comparable weapon in western armoury. It can carry nuclear weapons, change direction mid-flight and fly distances of up to 500km. As such it is capable of threatening Poland, including the US missile defence installations there. You would not change the date of the delivery of a system such as this on a whim. The intention is to make a strong strategic point.”

Get your nuclear bomb shelters built today!

The concept of a burka has nothing to do with respecting religion — because it’s designed to oppress women. The idea of a burka is to subjugate a woman and make her feel less than a man — a piece of property to be shielded and hidden away from other men. This jibes well with the muslim beliefs in female genital mutilation — a regular practice in the middle east.

The rationale: women shouldn’t enjoy sex.

Up until recently, Amazon was selling a ‘Sexy Burka’ costume, which is an excellent way to mock the perverted fuckery that some call ‘culture.’ If by ‘culture’ you mean oppressing women, then fuck your culture.

This is a very western thing to do.

But, people complained and Amazon ceded to the will of retrogrades by removing the product.

Via Telegraph

The fancy dress item, being sold through Amazon Marketplace, was described as a “gorgeous sexy outfit made from a lovely soft stretch material.” It was priced at £18.99 with free delivery.

The Evening Standard reports that some customers had described the garment as “racist” before it was withdrawn from sale, with one commenting: “It’s not a joke. Whoever you are fear Allah.”

An Amazon spokesperson said: “All Marketplace sellers must follow our selling guidelines and those who don’t will be subject to action including potential removal of their account.

“The product in question is no longer available.”

An ‘Arab costume’, offered at £12.09, is still for sale on the site. A customer review for the item says: “You’re all disgusting racists. My culture is not your costume.”

The irony in all of this is the fact that they’re using the liberal politically correct culture of the west and manipulating it to press forward their oppressive and backward thinking ideologies.  In other words, they’re demanding freedom to restrict the freedom of an entire gender — and Amazon is very willing to comply.

Interestingly, the sexy nun is still selling on Amazon, with vigor.

Get this. The Dow is off by 8 points now, but 78% of stocks are down for the day. I’ve never seen such fuckery in all of my years running Exodus. Typically speaking, if breadth is anywhere near the 25% range, markets are off by 100 or more. The fact that the broader indices are barely lower, with breadth so low, is a red flag for algorithmic generated buy orders trying to fuck with sentiment.

We list over 200 industries in Exodus and just a dozen or so have positive breadth — most of which are in defensive sectors.

The lionshare of today’s losses are found in the Industrials, which is posting absolutely wretched breadth today, with many industries at 0%. Yet, the Dow Jones Industrial Average is unch.

The actual breadth of the Dow 30 corroborates what I am speaking of, with just 10 stocks in the green right now.

All of Europe needs to be bailed out by their masters in the middled east. Perhaps if Germany takes another 5 million refugees, Qatar will buy all of Deutsche Bank and fire all of their female employees, sending them home to wash dishes and provide their bearded husbands with rigorous foot massages.

Bloomberg is reporting that the Royal Family of Qatar, the largest shareholders of DB, might be interested in sopping up more shares — in the event of a capital raise — up to 25% of the company. What’s interesting about said capital raise discussions is the fact that, just last week, the company said they didn’t need it.

Sheikh Hamad Bin Jassim Bin Jabr Al Thani, former Prime Minister of the Gulf State, and the former Emir of the country, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani are exploring increasing their current stake of about 10 percent in Germany’s biggest lender, the people said, asking not to be identified as the information is private. No final agreements have been reached.

When this bullshit news was released, DB ran higher by 3%. Now the stock is meandering around the flat line — as the hype and specter of a capital raise drifts into the ether — like human rights in the Kingdom of Qatar.

The fear mongering over Hurricane Matthew is indeed unprecedented. While I find nothing wrong with people taking precautions, I do find the verbiage and method by which the media and government officials are communicating with the people to be interesting, to say the least.

Matt Drudge is taking considerable criticism today after posting a series of tweets last night, suggesting the data coming out was exaggerated for political purposes. While this may sound absurd and ridiculous on the surface, Drudge rarely goes out on a limb without already having a scoop or a tip regarding the stuff he’s mentioning. Thus far, the storm has knocked out power lines and causes minor damage, but nothing remotely close to what was fear initially.

If you take a step back and view the market pragmatically, you’d see, for all of the hemming and hawing, markets are exactly flat over the past two weeks and down 1.5% over the past month. During that time, we’ve been entreated to the usual litany of Federal Reserve horseshit — warning of imminent rate hikes. With today’s decent NFP report, traders are, once again, bugging the fuck out over the specter of a Fed hike for the December meeting.

Note the chances of such a hike is now 69%.

This is having a deleterious effect on commodities and bonds — with crude sinking more than 1.7%. The dollar is marginally lower v the euro — which makes no sense, whatsoever.

Understand something, you are bearing witness to a grande and inelegant demonstration of ignorance and stupidity on a large scale. We’ve seen this retarded show play out for the last two years. By miracle, as sure as I am sitting here, retail sales will come in so horrid during the holiday season it will alter the way the Fed views the economy. As such, the 69% chance of a Fed cut will be reduced to zero.

156k v a consensus of 172k.

Good news for market lovers out there. For the month of September, people weren’t hired at the pace expected. As such, this is construed to be a shitty jobs number. As such, markets are rallying off the premise that the Fed won’t hike rates.

The initial response was joy. But now an apathetic normality is sweeping across wall, forcing people to view markets nihlistically, not really giving a shit about it. Futures are heading lower again.
