In Your Face PC

If you don't get it, here's what you're facing with the globalists and their push for one world government and apparently for one world voice, theirs.

Anyone who differs with climate change theology is an idiot. Anyone who calls something by what it is is a bigot. Anyone who still believes in common sense is a threat. Anyone who questions PC is a hater. Anyone who wants to just live out their life in their own way without impeding in any way on the lives of others, endangers their control. More "rigorous training" is code for further indoctrination to our point of view. In other words, in your face PC.


A report from the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) found there was an increase in hate speech and racist violence in the UK from 2009 to March 2016. 

–– ADVERTISEMENT ––
Blaming the press, ECRI Chair Christian Ahlund, said: “It is no coincidence that racist violence is on the rise in the UK at the same time as we see worrying examples of intolerance and hate speech in the newspapers, online and even among politicians.” 

The report makes a whopping 23 recommendations to Theresa May’s Government for changes to criminal law, the freedom of the press, crime reporting and equality law. 
And despite the report not analysing coverage of the , Mr Ahlund saw fit to comment on the UK's decision to leave the EU.
The Brexit referendum seems to have led to a further rise in ‘anti-foreigner’ sentiment, making it even more important that the British authorities take the steps outlined in our report as a matter of priority

ECRI Chair Christian Ahlund
In a sweeping statement, he said: “The Brexit referendum seems to have led to a further rise in ‘anti-foreigner’ sentiment, making it even more important that the British authorities take the steps outlined in our report as a matter of priority.”
The report lays into the British press and urges the government to “give more rigorous training” to reporters.

In the 83-page report, the Commission said: “ECRI considers that, in light of the fact that Muslims are increasingly under the spotlight as a result of recent around the world, fuelling prejudice against Muslims shows a reckless disregard, not only for the dignity of the great majority of Muslims in the United Kingdom, but also for their safety.

Here's a description of Mr. Ahlund from his organization's website.

Christian Ahlund is the Executive Director of International Legal Assistance Consortium (ILAC), an umbrella organisation for a number of international associations of judges, prosecutors and lawyers, with the objective of resurrecting judicial systems …
 
One wonders what judicial system Mr. Ahlund wants to resurrect.

Given what is already known about the listed companies below, does this denial surprise anyone? Perhaps an even better question is does any one believe them?

Big technology companies, including Google, Microsoft Corp. , Twitter Inc. and Facebook Inc. denied scanning incoming user emails on behalf of the U.S. government, following a report that Yahoo Inc. had built such a system.

Reuters reported Tuesday that Yahoo had built a software system last year to scan all incoming email for specific information provided by intelligence officials, in compliance with a classified U.S. government directive.

The system was built without the knowledge of Yahoo’s security team, and its discovery prompted the departure of Yahoo’s then-Chief Information Security Officer Alex Stamos, Reuters reported. Mr. Stamos declined to comment.

Capital Flight

Here's a chart from mishtalk.com/2016/10/04/capital-flight-in-italy-spain-intensifies-italy-target2-balance-hits-record-negative-spain-close-behind.

Lots of bureaucrats and central bankers are worrying about capital flight these days and the trend looks as if it's growing.
----
The ECB statistical data warehouse released Target2 Balance figures today.
The numbers are reflective of intensifying capital flight in Italy and Spain.
https://mishgea.files.wordpress.com/2016/10/target2-2016-10-03a.png?w=529&h=410

The above charts shows most of the major countries, not all of them.
Italy’s target2 hit a record low -€326.9 billion in July. This is a 6th consecutive monthly record for Italy, minimum, possibly dating back to 2nd quarter of 2015.
Spain’s target2 deficit hit -€313.6 billion. In 2012 Spain hit -€337.3 billion.

Target2 Discussion
No discussion of eurozone problems would be complete without a discussion of Target2, an abomination created by the eurozone founders and one of the fundamental flaws of the euro.
Target2 stands for Trans-European Automated Real-time Gross Settlement System. It is a reflection of capital flight from the “Club-Med” countries in Southern Europe (Greece, Spain, and Italy) to banks in Northern Europe.

Pater Tenebrarum at the Acting Man blog provides this easy to understand example: “Spain imports German goods, but no Spanish goods or capital have been acquired by any private party in Germany in return. The only thing that has been ‘acquired’ is an IOU issued by the Spanish commercial bank to the Bank of Spain in return for funding the payment.
This is not the same as an auto loan from a dealer or a bank. In the case of Target2, central banks are guaranteeing the IOU.

Target2 also encompasses people yanking deposits from a bank in their county and parking them in a bank in another country. Greece is a nice example, and the result was capital controls.
If Italy or Greece (any county) were to leave the Eurozone and default on the target2 balance, the rest of the countries would have to make up the default according to their percentage weight in the Eurozone

This Is Washington

Things are different now. And the Fed for all it's incompetence knows it.

When this whole mess started in 2008 the printing hadn't begun. Now the printing is pretty much ending and the globe remains in a so-called new normal state. A twilight zone half awake half yet slumbering. This in part at least explains the new, sudden Fed interest to prime the market for rate hikes. Not just one but several. At this level a 2008 debacle with a bare monetary policy cupboard is more than scary. This is heads-rolling territory for the Lords of Eccles.

The Fed for all it's dot-plot data collecting is a lagging indicator. As someone noted in a piece we read about Deustche Bank's troubles, they have had the wind at their back--record low rates, low energy prices, weak currency--for some time and Germany still can't grow. The largest economy in the EU, so what does that say for Europe? Japan is another case in point.

Growth in the U.S. depending on whom one tends to believe is still more imaginary than real. If jobs recovery were an item on a menu they'd be under appetizers. So to see real growth Magic Mario's "Whatever it takes" becomes:What the hell will it take? One sure answer is not more of the same monetary madness. And that's what the current leader of this band of central banking cretins just tossed into the possibility circle--purchasing equities. And why not, we've seen its promise in Japan and Switzerland.

Today's Financial Times offers a pathetic defense of the Yellen-led Fed, "Trump's mudslinging puts the Fed in danger," for claiming the Fed is politically driven. The first tip off is the writer's praise for Yellen's predecessor, Ben Bernanke, the former Princeton professor who is now drawing, par for the course of ex-government officials, his seven-figure paycheck somewhere else.

"Moreover," the Times  notes, "his policies have been continued more or less seamlessly by Ms Yellen, the Democrat who took over from Mr Bernanke. For lawmakers to criticise the Fed's approach is one thing: as long as they do not seek to impinge on its independence, that is entirely legitimate. To fling around accusations of political bias, however, is something else altogether."

There's an old saying about leave sleeping dogs alone, not so much because of the inherent danger but to not disturb their pleasant dreaming. These are hardly empty accusations being carelessly flung around with this administration and its record the last eight years. See the IRS, the BLS and the FBI when you leave the safe chrysalis of your twilight zone, to name just a few. Even much of the Fed's own research fed to MSM often has proved tainted, to use a kinder, gentler term.

The Times take a convenient out, labeling anyone who differs with their view a Republican or a Trump supporter. But riddle us this: Given what we've seen from this Washington crowd why would the Fed be an oasis of purity in an ocean of corruption?  Apparently, the Financial Times editorial board believes contagion is a term that applies only to financial markets. This is Washington. And unfortunately, there's a place called Brussels,too.

Overnight

A line from an old Jim Croce song: It's was bound to happen, just a matter of time and now looks like the time at least in the eyes of many market watchers, a rate hike by  the Fed and the ECB easing its quantitative easing.In short, the ECB is draining some of the punch out of the old whatever-it-takes punch bowl.

And that affected Asian shares ear;y Wednesday as four of the makrets traded lower, the ASX 200 off 0.5%; Korea's Kospi dropped 0.1%;Singapore's FTSE Straits Times Index lost 0.2% and the Taiwan was down 0.15. But it wasn't all negative as the Hang Seng cut early losses to trade higher up 0.5%. Chinese mainland markets are closed for the week.

After years of looking for the inflation needle everywhere but hay stacks, Fed officials apparently think they've found some on the distant data horizon and want to step on the interest rate accelerator to head off inflation at the corner of Wall and Broad. Here's a typical quote from Chair Yellen's messengers, Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond President Jeffery Lacker: “While inflation pressures may seem a distant and theoretical concern right now, prudent pre-emptive action can help us avoid the hard-to-predict emergence of a situation that requires more drastic action after the fact.” Some observers might choke on that term pre-emptive, but oh well.

Meanwhile, all the rate hike talk coupled with Magic Mario's insinuating bond buying will get wound down gradually, gold and silver took it in the shorts as the yellow stuff fell below the $1,300,trading at $1,272 and ounce. The lower price, if they last, should add to buying later this month at the Indian festival. At one point gold was off nearly 2%.

Neils Christensen of Kitco news noted: "The silver market has seen as even sharper drop with prices at its lows down well more than 3% on the day. December Comex silver futures last traded at $18.255 an ounce."

The one market that failed to take the head fake, if that's what it is, was the Nikkei 225, up 0.6%, led by the big auto makers and aided by the weaker yen.That's your signal to know that the dollar was up. Coming up to keep investors busy are the ISM non-manufacturing data and U.S. job numbers Friday.
Overnight, U.S. crude oil futures climbed 0.92 percent to $49.14 a barrel, while Brent futures were up 0.85 percent at $51.30.

If you're a registered voter in Ohio you might want to pay attention to this quote.

But its Rust Belt profile, Mr. Trump’s unyielding anti-trade campaign and Mrs. Clinton’s difficulty energizing Ohio’s young voters have made it a lesser focus for Democrats this year, even as it remains critical to Mr. Trump’s path to the White House. As Mrs. Clinton’s aides privately note, the demographic makeup of Florida, Colorado and North Carolina, which have a greater percentage of educated or nonwhite voters, makes those states more promising for Democrats in a contest in which the electorate is sorted along bright racial and economic lines.

Well, we know there are a bunch of stupid oafs, dolts and uneducated white folks living in Ohio and its colleges and universities are sub par to put it mildly. The only problem is Clinton's campaign people either can't or more likely spend too much time reading bathroom graffiti and missed the October 2016 issue of Money  magazine and its article where these two apparently ignoramus brothers moved their successful business to Columbus. Here's the quote from the article: "The 6 top Big Cities."

When brothers Andy and Phil George decided to find a permanent home for their then flediing business in 2012, Columbus was a no brainer. It was just the low cost  of living vs. Los Angeles, where they launched the business or the dozen-plus Fortune 1,000 firms in town, or the resources of The Ohio Stater University. It was the promise of a city on the rise. "We felt there ws a lot of positive momentum," Andy George, cofounder of startup MentorcilQ, which helps launch and manage employee mentoring programs.

You sure could say that. In the past five years more than 150 companies have moved to the area, drawn by a highly educated workforce--the region has more than 60 college and university campuses--and a solid business base that includes major retailers L Brands and Ambercrombie & Finch. In 2015 the city saw the highest wage growth in the country, with average hourly wages shooting up 6.2%,far exceeding the national average rate of around 2% and surpassing even such go-go burgs as San Francsico (6%).

Gotta Watch Those Hand Signals

 http://16004-presscdn-0-50.pagely.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/hillary-hand-signal-575x380.jpg
The outrage of censoring in this election campaign continues. Google, Facebook, Twitter, the list.
grows. And now Maria Yahoo the law abiding government spy. Anyone with a tape of the entire debate?

Hillary Clinton is not above cheating, lying or stealing to get what she wants.
So it shouldn’t be any surprise that she is being accused of cheating during Monday’s 1st Presidential debate. 
During the debate when Clinton wanted to signal Holt when she wanted the floor, she rubbed her face in a manner similar to a baseball manager.
If you think this is an unfounded charge: why was the video promptly removed and put it back up doctored. 
According to True Pundit she has not done this in any other debates during her career supporting the accusation that these were signals.

Let's Discuss It, Mr. Senator

In tonight VP debate the Virginia Senator said one shouldn't be afraid to discuss an issue. Well, here's one that just cropped up Clinton and Obama apparently are afraid to discuss.

The Obama administration is moving to dismiss charges against an arms dealer it had accused of selling weapons that were destined for Libyan rebels.

Lawyers for the Justice Department on Monday filed a motion in federal court in Phoenix to drop the case against the arms dealer, an American named Marc Turi, whose lawyers also signed the motion.
Story Continued Below

The deal averts a trial that threatened to cast additional scrutiny on Hillary Clinton’s private emails as Secretary of State, and to expose reported Central Intelligence Agency attempts to arm rebels fighting Libyan leader Moammar Qadhafi.


Government lawyers were facing a Wednesday deadline to produce documents to Turi’s legal team, and the trial was officially set to begin on Election Day, although it likely would have been delayed by protracted disputes about classified information in the case.

A Turi associate asserted that the government dropped the case because the proceedings could have embarrassed Clinton and President Barack Obama by calling attention to the reported role of their administration in supplying weapons that fell into the hands of Islamic extremist militants.

Or perhaps the Senator was referring to Hillary's real medical records and all those emails she and this administration has been stonewalling on for months.

This is why banks are not your friend and you keep your money possibly there at your peril.

It also tells you that negative interest rates and cumbersome government regulations are strangling  bank profit margins. So that leaves you to pass the make-up costs onto.

That unplanned stop at the ATM might be costing you more than you think.
The average fee of using an out-of-network ATM is now $4.57, according to Bankrate. This is the tenth straight year of increases.

That means that you'll pay 9% in fees for withdrawing $50 from an out-of-network ATM.
"Paying the fee every once in a great while isn't going to make or break you, but it's the habit of routinely paying these types of fees that is going to put you in the poor house," said Greg McBride, chief financial analyst at Bankrate.

The fees differ by region.

Here are the cities with the lowest average ATM fees:
San Francisco $3.90
Cincinnati $3.92
Dallas $4.22
Los Angeles $4.28
Boston $4.33
Philadelphia $4.33
And the cities with the highest:
Phoenix $5.07
Atlanta $5.05
Cleveland $4.98
Miami $4.94

How do you bring a wayward kid back into the fold?  Try to scare the hell out of him is one way. And that's what MSM and others are doing given the outlook for what they're calling a hard Brexit landing soon when those stubborn, ignorant Brits exit the EU.

What you expect here is what you are getting from Bloomberg, hyperbole of the worst kind, as they continue to ramp up the scaremongering. You have to give it to them, they will try anything and the harder they try the more you know you're doing exactly the correct thing, getting out of a mind-numbing, suffocating gaggle of indifferent, non-local bureaucrats who care only about their agendas and noting about yours.

Notice the term crashing; that's no accident. A goal break would be much more correct and appropriate. Recall the whinny words of Chase Bank CEO Jamie Dimon: "There's still time to change your mind." Now that a timeline has been set, the prospect they've been hoping for, another election, gets dimmer than vision of a Brussels' bureaucrat. Notice too the word threaten. That's the term a U.S.lame duck official came to your sovereign country and threatened you with when it came to trade agreements. Headlines about the pound hitting 31-year lows are more of the same. We're buyers of the pound and now you can play the same game all the others have been plying for so long, beggar thy neighbor, while your exports ramp up.

Britain crashing out of the European single market could cost banks and associated businesses in the U.K. almost 40 billion pounds ($51 billion) in lost revenue, undermining a key sector of the economy, an industry report will warn on Wednesday.

Finance firms are making a fresh bid for special status in upcoming Brexit negotiations with the EU after U.K. government officials this week indicated banks will get no favors. The report, prepared by Oliver Wyman on behalf of TheCityUK lobby group, warns that almost 70,000 jobs and 10 billion pounds of tax revenue are at risk from a so-called hard Brexit, according to two people familiar with its contents.

Prime Minister Theresa May has ruled out prioritizing protection of the banks in Brexit talks and has dismissed their key business demand for an interim deal to help ease the transition out of the bloc, Bloomberg News reported Monday, citing three government officials. Finance executives have threatened to move jobs if Britain doesn’t secure a deal allowing them to serve European clients from London. More:
