| The Central Planners Lullaby |
| We seem to be in a lull in market moving news, or is it more the gyrations within the market that have been put to sleep? The question offers an implication that the exchanges and human emotions “used” to be connected, which in the past, these major events would have caused market fluctuations in price. It is most famously known as market volatility. We have mentioned previously how the damages to an entire string of islands and flooded land masses seem to mean nothing to the markets, but are tTuesday, October 17, 2017 |

| Nigel Farage Blasts EU, Juncker Over Catalonia: Spain Violates Article 2 of Lisbon Treaty |
| Nigel Farage made his best speech ever in the European Parliament.
Farage called the Catalonia crackdown a foretaste of EU political suppression.
Watch and enjoy.
Here is an interesting comment to the YouTube Post by “Fabian”.
If anything Nigel went easy on them, and to all the people who think they’re being smart saying he called for less EU in domestic politics, THIS ISN’T POLITICS. It’s human rights, and by article 7 of the Lisbon Treaty, Spain should be suspended from the EU for breachingWednesday, October 4, 2017 |

| British Election Sends Shockwaves Felt Here and Abroad |
| By John Browne, June 15, 2017Last week's General Election in the United Kingdom was a disaster for the new conservative government of Prime Minster Theresa May. Having called the unnecessary "snap" elections in order to strengthen her political hand, the result actually reduced the number of seats held by the conservatives and delivered large gains to the opposition Labour party, which had seemed in disarray just a few months ago. Although she has announced no plans to step down, her position haThursday, June 15, 2017 |

We’ll get to that shortly but first let’s take a look at the question raised last week, “what are the chances of gold being down 15 days in a row”. I received the answer from statistician Jim Willie. The answer, “in a vacuum” is once in every 32,800 trading days.
This is something like once every 130 years but again, in a “vacuum”. This meaning strictly by chance such as a coin flip. But we do not live in a vacuum, no, we are now living during TTuesday, May 9, 2017 |

| LePen Euro Frexit Panic Over – “For Now” |

OK, drama’s over.
The French election has turned out pretty much exactly as expected.
For all that some of the papers are leading with “French revolution” headlines, the reality is that a face-off between the right-wing Marine Le Pen of the Front National and independent/socialist candidate Emmanuel Macron of En Marche! has been on the cards for months now.

| US Airstrikes on Syria See Gold Investing Price Hit Post-Trump High, Makes 'Double-Top' on Weak Jobs Data |
| GOLD INVESTING prices twice jumped to $1270 per ounce on Friday, first as the US military bombed Assad-regime facilities in Syria after this week's chemical weapons attack on Idlib, and then as US jobs data said the world's largest economy added just 98,000 jobs in March.
That saw the gold price for US investors touch its highest level since the day of Donald

 Farage Interviews Le Pen: “Prison of the EU” |
| Nigel Farage interviewed French presidential candidate Marie le Pen this week. It’s a 40-minute interview covering many topics. One key idea stood out: Le Pen discussed the “Prison of the EU”.
Le Pen is correct, the EU is not a free trade union, it is a customs union as well as a prison. “Change everything or we are leaving,” says le Pen.

| Nigel Farage Drops Truth Bomb: The Younger Generation Screaming 'Fascist' Have Become the Thing They Loathe the Most |
| Always eloquent, Britain's Nigel Farage offers his views on the current state of leftist delirium -- pointing out how the younger generation have been hijacked by an agenda rich education system, indoctrinating them to not only espouse a certain ideology, but to become intolerant to opposing viewpoints. By definition, they've become the very thing they're working so terribly hard to defeat: god damned fascists.

| Clear, Concise Brexit Idea From Theresa May: “No Deal Better Than Bad Deal” |
| The British pound surged nearly 3% today after UK Prime minister Theresa May added clarity to the Brexit decision. “No deal for Britain is better than a bad deal for Britain,” sad May.
Currency traders were convinced a hard Brexit would kill the pound, instead it rallied. And the decline in the US dollar index, widely attributed to Trump statements, has at least as much to do with May statements.
Regardless, the UK is striking the right tone at last.

On day one, Trump will kill TPP, open up energy restrictions, and enact lobbying restrictions.
Trump also interjected himself into UK politics, outright requesting Nigel Farage as the UK ambassador to the US.
