 Government Think Tanks Admit U.S. Empire Is Collapsing – Their Solution Is More War And Tyranny |
| The average person doesn’t realize how close the American empire is to collapsing under its own weight. Hell, the average person’s mind is thoroughly riddled with propaganda and entertainment, that they don’t even realize that their country is an empire. They think it’s normal to live under an all powerful government that has hundreds of military bases all over the world, and is constantly at war.
But there’s no doubt that this state of affairs cannot continue. In fact, even the high ranking offSunday, July 23, 2017 |

| History Repeats: The Continuing Threat to Freedom and Democracy |
| Lately it has been popular in some circles to talk about the US being a 'late stage democracy' that has 'never been more ripe for tyranny.'
Sometimes they like to drag in Plato to give their thought pieces a gleam of higher learning and a supposed grounding in history.
But their pieces fall into that trap, that very sort of temporal vanity and self-centered preoccupation to despair that Newman notes so well in saying that "every century is like every other, and to those who live in it seems wSunday, July 23, 2017 |

 BANK ASSETS ARE EPHEMERAL – HERE TODAY GONE TOMORROW  |
| It is not only paper gold which is Fake. Few investors realise that most of their investments are Fake.
Fake news and Fake assets are everywhere. Let’s start with social media which dominates major parts of the world. Facebook for example has 2 billion active users. WhatsApp has 1.2 billion users and Instagram 700 million. There will obviously be quite a lot of overlap between the various social media. But what it is clear that these three Apps reach billions of people and their power is much biSaturday, July 22, 2017 |

| Gold marks longest win streak in 2 months as U.S. dollar sinks |
| MarketWatch/Myra P. Saefong & Rachel Koning Beals/07-20-17
Gold prices ended higher Thursday, marking their longest streak of session gains in two months as the euro jumped in the wake of a European Central Bank meeting, putting pressure on the U.S. dollar.
The ECB, as expected, left interest-rate policy and other stimulative measures untouched. But the euro jumped as investors looked beyond seemingly [dovish] remarks by ECB President Mario Draghi to continued expectations the institution will mFriday, July 21, 2017 |

| How can the Fed possibly unwind QE? |
| There are currently two important items on the Fed’s wish list. The first is to restore interest rates to more normal levels, and the second is to unwind the Fed’s balance sheet, which has expanded since the great financial crisis, principally through quantitative easing (QE). Is this not just common sense?Maybe. It is one thing to wish, another to achieve. The Fed has demonstrated only one skill, and that is to ensure the quantity of money continually expands, yet they are now saying they willFriday, July 21, 2017 |

| The Fed May Show Trump No Love |
| Typically, U.S. Presidents are wary of claiming stock market performance as a referendum on their success. Most have seemed to understand that taking credit also means accepting blame, and no one would want to make the tortured argument that the positive moves reflect well on their presidency but that the negative moves do not. But Donald Trump has shown no reluctance to make any argument that suits his political purpose of the day, no matter its absurdity, and no matter if he has to contradict Thursday, July 20, 2017 |

Gold has extended to the upside, setting new 3-week highs and pressuring important technical resistance at 1248.08/1250.13 (100- and 50-day moving averages, 50% retracement of June/July drop). The yellow metal continues to garner support from the ongoing downtrend in the dollar, which has fallen to fresh 11-month lows.

Gold has once again rebounded from modest overseas downticks to keep the pressure on the upside. The dollar gave back earlier gains, keeping focus on the downside, which bodes well for the yellow metal.
The ECB held steady on policy today, as was widely expected. More importantly perhaps, there was no hint of QE tapering in the policy statement. That initially pushed bund yields and the euro lower, but those losses could not be sustained as Mario Draghi began to speaThursday, July 20, 2017 |

Having been as low as $1,213.81 an ounce in early May, and as high as $1,293.50 just a month later, the precious metal is around $1,238. What are the prospects for the glistening commodity after such a middling run?

If you pay attention to the constant news stream of stories regarding Syria, North Korea, or Russia, you’d be hard pressed to deny it. In fact, a recent poll found that 76% of Americans are worried that another war will break out in the next 4 years, and 80% were afraid that we could be embroiled in a conflict with North Korea in the near future.
