U.S. Designates China a Currency Manipulator
By William Mauldin and Nick Timiraos
The Wall Street Journal
Monday, August 5, 2019
WASHINGTON -- The U.S. Treasury labeled China a currency manipulator after the Chinese central bank let the yuan depreciate, capping a day of trade-war escalations that sparked a global fall in financial markets and fears the clash could stall America’s economic expansion.
The uncertainty could pressure the FeWednesday, August 7, 2019 |

| Mars and Mercury Decide the Fate of the U.S. Dollar and Gold |
| The U.S. dollar has been bleeding recently, despite all the Fed’s tightening efforts and the passage of Trump’s tax cuts. An accelerating economy, rising interest rates and pro-growth reforms should logically drive the value of the American currency. But they didn’t.
Given the strong negative correlation between the greenback and gold, finding the cause behind the dollar’s wounds is highly critical. The most common explanation among analysts is Trump the Destroyer. It shouldn’t be surprising, asFriday, February 9, 2018 |

| Upside Risk for Gold in 2018 |
| Black swans are very surprising and rare events. As they are beyond the realm of normal expectations, it is impossible to predict them. However, analysts do not care about such details and they outdo each other in forecasts. Our favorite is the list of ten outrageous predictions published by the Saxo Bank. The risk events include: the loss of Fed’s independence for the U.S. Treasury, the plunge in Bitcoin prices as government strike back, the abandonment of the yield curve control by the Bank ofFriday, January 19, 2018 |

| Are the Big Guys Tapped Out |
| It’s hard to imagine the news getting much sunnier than it was for the earnings cycle just reported. What will Amazon, Apple, Google and the other FANG stocks do for an encore? More to the point, what will they do for the next three months? At these very high prices, the task of rotating institutional cash till January, when earnings are next reported, will be like juggling bowling balls. The task will be even harder because Wall Street doesn’t have much “story” left to sell, at least none thatThursday, November 16, 2017 |

| Gold's Still Looking Good |
| Gold has been looking good for the past two years. The main reason why is because it's been carving out a bottom, which will likely result in a major upcoming bull market rise.
In fact, gold hit bottom in December 2015 and a big change has been taking place since last year.
Low interest rates have been a positive for gold and the metals. Since gold doesn't pay any interest and interest rates are still very low, they don't give gold much competition.
Plus, rising inflation expectations hWednesday, October 25, 2017 |

| The Next Cyber Hurricane Is Coming And It’ll Take Down The Internet |
| Last year, the botnet Mirai caused a massive distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack in October, knocking popular websites off the internet for millions of users. Right now, the next cyber hurricane is on the way, and it could take down the entire internet.
According to ZD Net, the botnet, dubbed “Reaper” by researchers at Netlab 360, is appearing on the radar of security researchers. A little over a month ago, the researchers detected the sizable botnet of infected Internet of Things (IoT)Wednesday, October 25, 2017 |

| Rising Tensions with North Korea and Gold |
| Tensions with North Korea are rising. What does it imply for the gold market?
The crisis on the Korean peninsula is exacerbating. On Saturday, the U.N. Security Council unanimously imposed new sanctions on North Korea in response to its recent tests of intercontinental ballistic missiles. After the sanctions were levied, which could reduce the regime’s annual export revenue by a third, the communist country vowed to exact “thousandfold” revenge against the U.S., as they violated North Korea’s soWednesday, August 9, 2017 |

| Silver Fundamentals Vs. The Base Metal Bubble Part ll-Silver Undervalued Against Everything Now! |
| Yesterday, we learned that Donald Trump Jr. was allegedly involved in secret meetings with a Russian lawyer last year, in an alleged attempt to obtain anti-Hillary information. This, as Trump’s snot-nosed, silver spoon son-in-law, Jared Kushner – a mere 36 years old – was collaborating with Qatarian sheiks whilst Saudi Arabia “coincidentally” declared economic war on it – under the ultimate “pot calling the kettle black” insinuation that Qatar funds terrorism.

| The King Dollar is mortally wounded. Many notice but the masses seem largely unaware. Since 1971, the Gold Standard has been removed from its anchor position. But since 1973, the Petro-Dollar has taken its place. It has called for crude oil sales led by the Saudis and OPEC to be transacted in USDollar terms, for oil surpluses to be stored in USTreasury Bonds, and for some kickbacks from the Saudis to the USMilitary complex for weapons purchases.

| Sometime in the coming days, the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) plans to begin publishing gold and silver vault holding totals covering the network of commercial precious vault operators in London that fall under its remit. This follows an announcement made by the LBMA on 8 May.
There are seven commercial vault operators (custodians) in the LBMA custodian vault network namely, HSBC, JP Morgan, Brinks, Malca Amit, ICBC Standard Bank, Loomis (formerly Viamat), and G4S. Note that ICBC StaWednesday, July 5, 2017 |

| Precious Metals-Dirt Cheap Insurance, In An Increasingly, Explosively PIMBEEB World |
| With each passing day, I don’t just think, but know the world cannot, and will not, survive the collapse of history’s largest, most destructive fiat Ponzi scheme without “thousand-year-flood”-like changes in the global political, economic, social, monetary; and likely, military landscape.
These changes have unquestionably begun in “second” and “third world” nations with undversified economies, unstable political regimes; and of course, fiat currencies that can’t be abused – like the dollar, EuroTuesday, June 6, 2017 |

| There's a lot of water on the planet we inhabit – an estimated 326 million trillion gallons or 1,260,000,000,000,000,000,000 liters. Hard to believe are reports water is going to get much dearer in our near term future – yet Peter Voser, chief executive of the world's second-largest energy company, Royal Dutch Shell, warned us, as far back as June 2011, that global demand for fresh water may outstrip supply by as much as 40 per cent in 20 years if current fresh-water consumption trends continue.Monday, June 5, 2017 |

| The End Of Trust, And Rise Of Real Money |
| In last week’s “historic market manipulation, setting the stage for catastrophe” – as well as dozens of other articles and podcasts – I demonstrated, in painstaking detail, the gross misallocations, inequities, and fraud caused by the artificial “support” of “favored” asset classes like stocks, bonds, and real estate – whilst the “unfavored” gold and silver markets were mercilessly suppressed, to equally deleterious global effect.

| Yahoo’s Terms Of Servitude: “The Beginning Of Incremental Enslavement That Grows Stronger By The Day” |
| One of the most beautifully mind-numbing and macabre methods of government conquest of additional territory for a local metropolis is cached within the term “annexation.” The peaceful Anglo-Saxon annexation holds an equivalent with Hitler’s “Lebensraum” justification for taking extra territory, as he did with Czechoslovakia and the Sudetenland. The barrel of a gun enables it, justified by a badge. Along those subtle lines are the maneuvers pulled in the cyberspace world by large servers, suchTuesday, May 30, 2017 |

| Total Airplane Laptop Ban Coming or Not What are the Issues |
| Following intelligence reports that ISIS may be planning to attack airlines with laptop computers rigged as bombs, Trump initiated a ban on laptops on some flights from some airports.
Rumors had it that the ban was going to be extended to make things “uniformly fair”.
Fortunately, common sense prevailed, for now.
Laptop Ban on All Flights?
A Financial Times headline from today reads: US looks at extending laptop ban to all flights.

| If Gold’s A “Barbarous Relic,” Why Do Governments Want It So Much |
| It’s Tuesday morning, and the Euro was crushed overnight – to within less than a percent of the 14-year low of 1.047/dollar set earlier this year; in turn, causing the cost of living for hundreds of millions of Europeans – and millions of other people whose fiat toilet paper is pegged to the Euro, to instantaneously surge. Not to mention, billions of people the world round, whose currencies also plunged – which quite obviously, caused a positive “net change” in physical gold and silver demand.

| Trump Accuses Germany of “Currency Exploitation”: Merkel vs. Trump, Is Either Side Telling the Truth |
| President Donald Trump and his advisors have taken on the EU and the Euro. Specifically, Peter Navarro, the head of Mr Trump’s National Trade Council, said euro was like an “implicit Deutsche Mark” and “grossly undervalued”.
German chancellor Angela Merkel responded Germany “will not influence the behaviour of the ECB”.
Let’s take a look at the claims and counter-claims to sort out the obvious lies.

| Even on a “quiet” news weekend – now that the PPT-orchestrated, soon-to-be-reversed “Trump-Flation” rally has put what remains of critical media analysis into hibernation – an utterly astounding amount of dramatically “PM bearish, everything-else-bullish” headlines emerged. To the point that, albeit early, it’s starting to feel a lot like a year ago.

| The Surveillance State Did Not Disappear With The Trump Victory: “It Is Still Lurking And Completely Intact” |
| One of the things Donald Trump has really done correctly is to assess his future arena in the areas of intelligence-gathering and operational security. Trump wants to return to a “courier” method of transmitting sensitive information and classified documents for the purpose of reducing the amount of material that can be hacked or stolen. There is a subtlety about this for a caveat, in case the compliment has bloomed flowers in your thoughts: the NSA $50 billion facility for collection and storSaturday, January 7, 2017 |
