This is one of the egregious forms of media bias I’ve ever seen. A man rescued a baby and was interviewed by HLN, which is owned by the same people who own CNN. During the rebroadcast, they blurred out the letters on his t shirt because it spelled Trump. These people are craven madmen, drooling with anger.
The fuckheads at HLN tweeted a statement of apology and said it was an error.
Watch out Julian Assange. If elected, Hillary Clinton might bomb the shit out of the Ecuadorian embassy in London, in order to take you out. After 15 years of war, H. Clinton reminds us that war is perpetual and that new enemies crop up on a daily basis. Some of them are tangible. We can capture, torture them and then kill them, after extracting information. Others are more stealthy, sneaky devils in Moscow hacking into emails, exposing wanton corruption in the DNC–which demand a 21st century response.
Such a response, gentlemen, is as ancient as the Knap of Howar. War, gentlemen, was the answer then and it is still the answer now.
“As President, I will make it clear that the United States will treat cyberattacks just like any other attack. We will be ready with serious political, economic, and military responses,” she told the attendees, largely made up of veterans and their supporters.
“We are going to invest in protecting our governmental networks and our national infrastructure,” she continued. “I want us to lead the world in setting the rules in cyberspace. If America doesn’t, others will.”
“We need to respond to evolving threats from states like Russia, China, Iran and North Korea,” Clinton said in the speech. “We need a military that is ready and agile so it can meet the full range of threats and operate on short notice across every domain – not just land, sea, air and space but also cyberspace.
“You’ve seen reports. Russia’s hacked into a lot of things, China has hacked into a lot of things. Russia even hacked into the Democratic National Committee, maybe even some state election systems. So we have got to step up our game. Make sure we are well defended and able to take the fight to those who go after us.”
Thirteen thousand refugees have arrived in Italy over the past 4 days. Turkey is holding Europe hostage, saying they wouldn’t stem the flow of refugees heading into Europe if Turkish citizens weren’t given free passage throughout the continent.
Heading into the Fall, smugglers are busy little fucking bees. You haven’t heard much about the migrant crisis because they’re all plotting and scheming to enter now through November. The face of Europe is about to change, forever.
Here is an arrival chart for the unlucky persons born into shithole countries, ravaged by wars and barbaric religious ideologies, who wish to bring their culture to the western do-gooders in Europe.
Jack Ma, CEO of Alibaba, is one of a handful of autocrats running the globalized economy. There are very few people in this world as bad as Jack Ma. But his head is shaped like a football and he speaks with a disarming Chinese accent. He looks like a rice farmer and his words are soft, docile and peaceful. Meanwhile, he’s a devil motherfucker who wants your kids to starve, as he employs your child in one of his slave labor camps.
But here’s the argument that the globalists will sell you, the layman.
“You can do it too.”
No you cannot.
The globalists are entrenched by a moat of lawyers, regulations, patents, and uncompetitive tax law.
But if you think you can do it too, well, you might just go along for the ride a little while longer.
The co announced that, although it believes that it has current liquidity sufficient to make the approximately $6.8 million semi-annual interest payment due on September 1, 2016 with respect to its outstanding 10% Senior Notes due 2017, it has elected not to do so at this time, pending the outcome of its Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitation described below. Non-payment of this interest would become an event of default under the indenture governing the 2017 Notes if the payment is not made within 30 days.
As of August 31, 2016, the Company has approximately $280.3 million of outstanding senior indebtedness consisting solely of the Old Notes with no amounts outstanding under its senior secured bank credit facility. The Company is continuing to pay suppliers and trade creditors and fund current operations on an ongoing basis.
Upon an event of default under the indenture governing the 2017 Notes, the trustee or holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the 2017 Notes then outstanding may declare the principal amount of the 2017 Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest to be immediately due and payable. An acceleration under the 2017 Notes would also result in a cross default under the 2021 Notes. The Company has entered into a forbearance agreement with the lender under the Company’s senior secured bank credit facility with respect to certain cross defaults resulting from the election not to make the semi-annual interest payment with respect to the 2017 Notes. The forbearance will terminate upon earlier to occur of October 1, 2016 or the occurrence of any specified forbearance default, which includes, among other things, the failure to pay interest with respect to the 2017 Notes upon the expiration of the 30 day grace period applicable to such payment of interest.
Investors had no idea this was coming. The stock was up 54% over the past two weeks and was the preferred trading vehicle for degenerates everyone, up until the point when the companies reality caught up with its fictional narrative.
For a minute there, maybe two, it looked as if stocks were heading lower. The Dow was off by more than 100. WTI was down 3.5% and the mood in the room was glum. Then, as if everyone was stricken with an epiphany all at once, stocks lifted and lifted some more. The prevailing wisdom is, and always has been, stocks will continue higher as long as central banks wish it so.
Gone are the days of business cycles and earnings. All that matters now is rigging and the cajoling of sentiment, across the globe, for the explicit purposes of realizing utopia–a society that is starkly divided amongst classes and where profit is paramount to all tenets, even life itself.
Oh, you’re just a low farmer, minding your business and growing food from the earth?
Are you uncomfortable paying $2,000 per mo for your families health insurance? Too bad, profits must be had.
Eventually, most of you will become wards of the state, with the majority of property and wealth in the hands of an elite few. The indelible march towards tyranny begins and ends with the rigging of markets, which is at the epicenter of everything that’s wrong with society today.
Everyone makes such a big deal about the recent drop in gold. Meanwhile, the GLD is off by just 3% over the past two weeks.
In response to this tiny decline in gold, investors have pulled out their hair and jumped into the bathtub holding toasters plugged into the wall. Gold miners are off more than 13% over the past two weeks. Crazy.
Meanwhile, the price of crude really is crashing, down more than 11% over the past two weeks–if not more. The past two days has been dreadful, with barrels of oil down more than 6%. So, what has been the market reaction to these declines?
The drillers, which is the riskiest part of the oil chain, are down 9%. Independent producers are off only 4%.
It’s worth noting, the oil and gas sector is wrought with debilitating debt loads to the tune of $600 billion that is distressed or soon to be distressed, while the gold miners have good balance sheets and have already endured years of decline.
In summary, a 3% drop in gold has equated to a 13% drop in the underlying stocks, while an 11% drop in oil has resulted in a 4-9% drop in the underlying stocks. One of these correlations are fucking retarded.
I marvel at the behavior of humans and how group think is often a counter indicator. Isn’t it fucked up? What does it say about our species? Whenever we converge on an idea and elect it, the exact opposite occurs, sort of like what has happened with Obama.
It sure seemed like a good idea then. Now? Not so much.
BofA/Merrill is out with a report that discusses some of their research into sentiment and how an overly hated market like this one has led to gains in every instance on record.
“Historically, when our indicator has been this low or lower, total returns over the subsequent 12 months have been positive 100 percent of the time, with median 12-month returns of [more than] 27 percent,” they wrote. “While sentiment has improved significantly off of the 2012 bottom, today’s sentiment levels are well below last summer’s high of 54.0 and where they were at the market lows of March 2009.”
I’ll call bullshit on those numbers above. Being well versed in statistics, having invented Exodus, I can tell you that in order to get a median return of 27% over 12 months, the data set must be incredibly small, which renders it unreliable. Still, it makes for good cocktail conversation.
Forget about the infantile nature of this guy’s self absorption. He’s literally ruining the football season for his entire team. If he wanted to protest, he should’ve done it away from the team. But because he’s a selfish bastard and it’s all about him and his statements and what he believes in, he’s wearing pig cop socks today.
Didn’t they teach him as a kid, there’s no I in team?
The negative ISM numbers, at first cute and funny, have begun to take their toll on investors and stocks are in pullback mode.
The Dow is off more than 80 and WTI is down 2%.
Gold is bouncing after a 2 week slump, indicative of a possible dovish Fed coming out on the other end of an economy that is apparently contracting.
The last negative ISM number was in February of 2016, when the world was ending. Granted, March ended up being a surreal time to invest, all built upon a foundation of sand. The premise being, a bad economy equates to more central bank rigging and a potential for reflation. This, of course, hasn’t materialized, as WTI dives lower into the low $40s again.
Also, let’s not ignore the construction numbers that came out today, a true harbinger of doom.
It’s also worth pointing out that Donald Trump is now up by 1% in the latest Rasmussen poll. He is the biggest threat to the globalist oligarchy since Reagan. It’s not a secret that Wall Street prefers Hillary, as corrupt people are inherently corruptible. Plus, she’s the status quo and that’s good for people with wealth. A Trump presidency throws everything into a fucking blender and turns that fucker on high.
