Q IS A DEEP STATE SHILL 8-23-2018

I realize people want to believe the shill known as Q. I realize his disinformation plays to what they want to think is going on. Unfortunately, Q is diverting our attention away from what is really going on, and lulling us with fantasies.

The acid test for Q is simple. It has been nearly two years since Trump was elected, and nearly 18 months since he took power. We have had Sessions in place for 18 months also. AT THE END OF THE DAY THE ONLY CRITERIA YOU CAN USE TO DEFINE RESTORING THE RULE OF LAW IS GRAND JURIES BEING CONVENED, INDICTMENTS ISSUED, TRIALS HELD AND WRONGDOERS BEING SENTENCED. Gang, NONE OF THAT HAS HAPPENED. THE PRO Q PEOPLE CAN’T POINT TO A SINGLE CASE WHERE ANYBODY INVOLVED IN THE MULTIPLE SCANDALS HAS FACED ANY LEGAL SANCTION AT ALL.

Sorry, but Q is Deep State BS. I will also say I am SICK of Trump whining about Sessions and then not firing him. In a little over 60 days we are going to find out how effective Soros and the Democrats are in stealing the election. My view is they can do, mostly because Trump has been too stupid to deal with Soros, or clean out the thousands of Obamabots, and federal judges hamstringing him.

Embrace the collapse. Realize that America must be flushed down the toilet before it can possibly return to any level of sanity. After all the Pakistan IT guy did, he gets no sanction, and people have the cajones to say Trump and Sessions are draining the swamp.

No lock her, or anybody, up.

No border wall.

No swamp drained.

An additional one trillion and more in debt.

And once the House flips, Soros will make sure things are locked down tight.

Yes, the so called Q is a Deep State psychological disinformation campaign designed to lull people to sleep and divert them from taking direct action. For example, Q has been spreading drivel about child abuse in pizza parlors etc, while completely ignoring the multiple number of actual child abuse cases, well over 2000 by now. It was Q who gave us the whole Weiner computer disinformation campaign. Remember all the NYPD officers who were going to release Weiner’s data on hundreds of child abuse cases, involving hundreds of senior level government officials, law enforcement, church and business leaders. We got none of that, but what we got was Pizzagate.

The scum Q represents understand the vaccine policy of releasing some credible information, hidden with the vast amounts of BS.

Q is located in the basement of the NSA, CIA, or FBI. His, or her, job is to “manage’ the release of damaging information. Another example is how Q diverted the actual release of Horowitz’s IG report to neuter it. Trey Gowdy is another example of controlled opposition. The list includes Trey Gowdy, Chavetz, Issa among others. The modus operandi is to hold “hearings” that limit information release and confirm nobody will actually be sanctioned. We saw this with the Pakistani IT officer just today. I think the FACT that not one single government or Democratic party official has had a grand jury convened tells the tale. All the while the total failure of any type of criminal sanction has been going on, you have Q spewing his/her Deep State garbage. Everybody is going to be indicted, except they haven’t been.

Q is solely meant to distract and divert until the Marxists take control of the house in November. After that, Q will likely vanish into the ether.

TURKEY’S LIRA COLLAPSE MAY TAKE DOWN EUROPEAN BANKS 8-11-2018

I have written several times that Turkey’s Ottoman Sultan want a be, Erdogan is a few bottles short of a six pack. He is now dictator for life, engaged in brazen, military imperialism, and now has a currency collapse to deal with. I also mentioned Pastor David Wilkerson’s “prophecy” from a few years ago. Well, things are now fully in motion for a global economic crisis much worse than the one triggered by the Russian bond defaults in 1997. I can’t stand Alan Greenspan, but even he admitted when Long Term Capital Management imploded from Russian bond losses the entire global economic system came close to crashing and burning. In Turkey’s case, we are dealing with multiple European banks, holding staggering amounts of Turkish debt, that is now essentially worthless. The link below tells more.

Greyerz – ECB To Issue Emergency Liquidity As Turkish Contagion Spreads

August 11, 2018

Egon von Greyerz:  “Eric, we are often talking about the various problems in the world and what will be the catalyst for a global crisis, which has to happen because of all the risks that we see.  And I now think that Turkey could be a major catalyst…

Egon von Greyerz continues:  “Turkey has massive economic problems, deficits, and their currency is collapsing.  The fact that many banks in the EU have lent money to Turkey will probably lead to a crisis in the European banking system.  As an example, Spain’s second largest banks has lent $18 billion to Turkey, and BNP in France has lent $40 billion.  Many other European banks are involved as well.  

As we have seen, Turkey’s currency is collapsing and gold has been skyrocketing in Turkish lira.  Since 2013, gold is up 4x in Turkish lira.  We have talked about hyperinflation in Venezuela and Argentina.  Well, we are seeing it now in Turkey too, Eric, and it’s going to get worse.  Turkish banks have a lot of currency loans, in US dollars and other currencies, to Turkish borrowers.  That’s 40% of their balance sheets.  That will most likely wipe out the reserves of most of these banks because the clients won’t be able to repay it in Turkish lira.

“Self-Fulfilling Contagion”: This Is The Worst Case Scenario For Turkey

by Tyler Durden

Sat, 08/11/2018 – 15:50

With Turkey’s inflation soaring to a 15 year high as the ongoing result of a currency in meteoric free fall, coupled with tumbling capital markets and record high interest rates, both from unsustainable domestic imbalances as well as the prospect of a doubling of steel and aluminum tariffs by the Trump administration, and a warning from the ECB about European bank exposure to Turkey…

. traders and investors have expressed growing concerns where potential contagion may strike next, who is most exposed to the Turkish crisis, in the process hitting European stocks and EU banks, and what a “worst case” scenario for Turkey would look like.

To be sure, the FX market’s response this week certainly was swift as the currency plunged by more than 20% since last Friday vs. the USD, with JPMorgan analysts warning that policy options for the Turkish government are limited, as policy rate hikes alone would likely no longer be sufficient and could have been counter-productive as it could exacerbate concerns over the banking system, meanwhile president Erdogan remains staunchly opposed to both an IMF bailout and capital controls for now, the two other emergency escape valves that are traditionally used in similar situations.

Meanwhile, fears are also growing about the viability of the Turkish banking sector, with Goldman recently warning that the banks’ excess capital would be eroded should the Turkish Lira depreciate to 7.1, not too far from its Friday close…

PORTLAND RIOTS 8-4-2018

It looks like the antifa types are going to engage in violence at Portland’s Waterfront Park. They are upset the “Patriot Prayer Group,” are demonstrating. The link to a live video of the situation is here. It is the third video near the bottom of the page. Right now, the PPD, which apparently was ordered by our Marxist Mayor and our police chief named Outlaw, yes that really is here name, to no longer stand down and let the Antifa thugs attack Trump’s supporters with impunity. It could be the ongoing chaos upset the business community and any tourists still coming the cesspool Portland now is. The cesspool comment by the head of the Police Union set off a firestorm among the Marxist elite now running Portland. I think there will be violence today, since we have seen violence at all the other demonstrations. Hopefully, we won’t see firefights between the two groups, along with dead corpses on the street.

 

http://allnewspipeline.com/Violent_Antifa_Thugs_Head_To_Portland_Again.php

At any rate, the weather is nice and sunny, with a temperature in the low 80s. It is perfect rioting weather and I expect to see a riot. The police are out in full riot gear, and making megaphone statements ordering people to stay on the sidewalks and not block the streets. The Antifa thugs are on the other side of the street, at least for now. I’m sure they will try and engage the Patriot Prayer group, like they did last time. The result will be violent, physical clashes, arrests and people going to the hospital. It is a “Day of Rage” type of scenario for Antifa. The area where this is happening is about 10 blocks away from where I am writing this. Fortunately, this means I can avoid it. During one of the recent demonstrations the PPD actually declared martial law for a four block area around Pioneer Square. This means I have had the dubious experience of living in a martial law zone. Civil War Two has started. The only real issue is when the firefights will break out, and when the corpses start to fall. Violence is inevitable today. Whether that will include dead demonstrators or not, remains to be seen.

MAN CHARGED WITH SETTING NINE FIRES IN CALIFORNIA 7-29-2018

I would call this African American a terrorist, but in our PC times his actions will be explained away as due to his flunking toilet training. We don’t need to import terrorists and crazies, since we seem to have an ample supply already here in CONUS among our citizens. He may be a Muslim, and he may be just an arsonist, but for sure he has managed to cause millions of dollars in damage all by his lonesome.

CIVIL WAR TWO: RIOTS IN PORTLAND, OREGON 6-30-2018

For all intents and purposes, the USA is now in the early phases of Civil War Two. The Marxist, Soros funded, media supported, Antifa types are going full bore for a Marxist Revolution. I don’t see how anybody with an IQ above single digits can’t see the level of political violence is totally out of control. I’m talking about death threats to the family members of Federal officials, ie Baron Trump, the family of the FCC head, and the dumping of a dead animal on an official’s front porch. Maxine Walters is in a class all by herself. Finally, well you need to prepare for armed resistance, because you will be killing Antifa types soon enough, because they will be killing you even sooner. The physical violence now coming the left is the last place marker before Civil War Two breaks out, as in dead bodies. Perhaps I am more tuned to this given the ongoing political violence here in downtown Portland.

Here is the link to today’s riots in Downtown Portland, Oregon. The whore media is in fine form with its drivel reporting. It is a fact the antifa types always start the violence against the “right wing groups.” It is a fact that the castrated, political correct Portland Police do nothing when the Antifa types attack the “right wing,” protesters. It is a fact the PPD then arrests any “right wing” protester who defends himself from being attacked. It is Sieg Heil time here in Portland, and the true Nazis are the local police, the local politicians and the local Antifa FASCISTS who use violence as a political tool.

http://katu.com/news/local/dueling-protests-expected-in-downtown-portland-saturday-again

PORTLAND, Ore. — Portland Police declared an out-of-control protest in downtown Portland a riot Saturday, and ordered everyone to leave the area immediately.

Authorities deployed flash bangs and tear gas as dueling protesters threw fireworks, eggs and other objects at each other.

Police made several probable cause arrests at the riot and seized multiple weapons.

WATCH:

The “Freedom and Courage” rally hosted by the right-wing Patriot Prayer group and its well-known leader, Joey Gibson, gathered at Terry Schrunk Plaza before taking to the streets. The group was granted a permit for the march, but police canceled it once violence ensued.

A heavy presence of antifa (antifascist) protesters gathered in the area for a “Defend PDX: Patriot Prayer’s Violence Must End” rally. The protest, hosted by the Rose City Antifa, said “it is very important that antifascists keep up the pressure so that we can stop them once and for all,” in reference to the far-right Patriot Prayer group.

For hours, the two groups mostly yelled at each other, but once the Patriot Prayer members mobilized the situation quickly spiraled into violence.

Joey Gibson, who is currently a U.S. Senate candidate for Washington, made a long speech to his group at Terry Schrunk Plaza before the march. Many Patriot Prayer members wore “Gibson for Senate” T-shirts while singing along to “We Will Rock You” by Queen at the rally.

Members of the Vancouver-based group arrived at Saturday’s event on school buses.

“Courage is the backbone to freedom,” reads the description on the ‘Freedom and Courage’ rally event page. “The nation is EXTREMELY angry about how Portland citizens treated Freedom Loving Americans who marched in the streets of this dangerous city.”

On June 3, the same two groups clashed in downtown Portland at — you guessed it —Terry Schrunk Plaza.

The early June event was labeled by Patriot Prayer as a kind of going away celebration for one of their leaders: Tusitala Toese, also known as “Tiny.”

Four people were arrested at that protest.

A heavy law enforcement presence infiltrated downtown Portland Saturday due to past threats and acts of violence between the two groups. Department of Homeland Security officers were also present at the plaza, as Terry Schrunk is federal property.

Micah Fletcher, the young man who survived a brutal stabbing on a Portland MAX train last year was spotted at Saturday’s antifa protest playing the drums for a brass band. Fletcher has outwardly decried the Patriot Prayer group, of which the stabbing suspect Jeremy Christian associated himself with at a rally one month before the deadly May 2017 incident.

The leaders of Patriot Prayer have said Christian had nothing to do with their organization, lambasting his actions.

After police ordered everyone out of the street Saturday, the Patriot Prayer group returned to Terry Schrunk Plaza, and the antifa group returned to Chapman Square.

Police shut down Chapman Square and Lownsdale Square a short time later, and the Federal Protective Service eventually shut down Terry Schrunk Plaza — forcing the Patriot Prayer event to shutdown.

AMERICA’S FOUR POLITICAL PARTIES 6-27-2018

I think it is pretty clear that the USA now has four political parties now. First, we have the RINO, Republican in Name Only, wing of the current Republican Party. Next, we have the so called “Trump wing,” of the current Republican Party. The current Democratic Party has also split into two separate groups. The first being the nearly extinct, perhaps they should be put on the endangered species list, of what used to called a “Centrist Democrat.” Like I said, they are pretty much gone by now. They have been impaled on “identity politics,” and the race baiting, bigotry now infesting what is called the DNC. The second wing of the DNC is the hard left, socialist, Marxist best understood as “Berniebots.” The Berniebots  have never forgotten, much less forgiven, the DNC for stealing the nomination from Bernie Sanders and giving it to Hellary the Shrew. As such, the fundamental divide is between Berniebots and Clintonistas, although even the Clintonistas loathe Hillary the Shrew now. The current leadership of the DNC, Pelosi, and her now primary eliminated number two represent everything the Berniebots hate about the DNC.

Here in the USA we have this two political party fantasy that is constantly dredged up and presented as a choice between two separate political views. Sorry, but the only political party is the uni party. The uni party has one group the Democrats that wants to go full socialist/Marxist mode as fast as possible, like taking a freeway,  and one group, the Republicans that wants to go full Socialist/Marxist mode a little slower. It is the difference between going 80 mph on a four lane highway, or going 50 miles an hour on a back round. In both cases the USA will end up a Marxist dictatorship, with the only difference being how fast we become on. We still have Mussolini’s famous description of fascism as the merger of the government and the corporations. Well, we live in an oligarchy, with a merged, fascist government/corporate modus operandi. If you don’t believe me, then look at the recent merger activity, like with Disney and Fox, or ATT and Time Warner. It is a fact that six corporations now control essentially all media here in the USA. After the  two mergers, it will likely be four corporations. Given the fact that one of the heiress’ to the Seagram’s media empire was just indicted for child molestation, you can see the pedophiles are increasing their control of the matrix.

I realize some of you believe this Q nonsense because you want to believe America isn’t a corrupt, venal, fascist, oligarchy, run by people who like to rape little children and steal everything not nailed down. Sorry, but the USA is a corrupt, venal, fascist, oligarchy, run by people who like to rape children and steal everything not nailed down. Trump isn’t going to change that either. At best, Trump may be able to get a Supreme Court conservative majority, or one that provides oral service to their corporate masters, and Trump has at least revealed the slime under the rock, but that is about it. After 18 months, multiple “investigations,” the fact that nobody has been indicted, much less tried and convicted, for any of the multiple felonies pretty much says it all. The Deep State has simply outlasted us deplorables. Trump, well he gave it his best shot and came up short.

My personal advice is you should kick back and enjoy the collapse of our dysfunctional, increasingly violent, and even more increasingly deranged US society. It is going to be a wild ride, of that I have now doubt. Unfortunately, we are now in the early phases of Civil War Two. You can believe that or not. Whether you believe that or not, the level of political violence will only increase. You can trust me on that. Since I live in Portland, Oregon I am well aware of the raw hatred and venom the leftists feel for people who read my blog. Any time I want to commit suicide, all I have to do is wear a MAGA hat and then walk around downtown Portland. I would measure my life expectancy in nano-seconds.

Amigos,  I am telling you we are living in a truly amazing time period. The reason being we are like some Roman watching the barbarians ride up to the gates of Rome in 409 AD.  Only in the case of the USA, the barbarians are no longer outside the city walls, because they are inside the city walls. Further, we have not only barbarians inside our gates, like the Muslim terrorists, and the M-13 illegal psychos, but we have ourselves too. Like the man said, the enemy is us. Yep, we are our own barbarians now. I suggest, as you enjoy what may be the final warm summer once the Grand Solar Minimum starts to kick in, you ponder all I have written.

KILAUEA, VOLCANOES AND THE GRAND SOLAR MINIMUM 6-17-2018

In addition to everything else going on right now, in terms of human folly, we are also dealing with natural cycles impacting human life. Here is the link to a live view of the Kilauea crater/caldera. My view is there is now a fifty percent chance of a volcanic eruption at either the expanding crater, or fissure eight forming a volcanic crater.

Here is a link to the latest from Grand Solar Minimum Update for 6-17-2018 with Diamond of Oppenheimer Ranch.

It includes video of the ongoing eruptions in Japan, the new eruption on the Galapagos Islands, and the continuing collapse of the caldera at Kilauea. I will remind everybody that volcanic eruptions spew large amounts of atmospheric aerosols, ie dirt and rock, toxic gases, and other particulate matter high into the stratosphere. Once there, all this “volcanic stuff,” circles the globe, and blocks sunlight. It is the volcanic version of the famous “nuclear winter.” We have multiple, historic examples, like 1816’s “year with no summer,” or Iceland’s volcano eruption of 1783. It was the 1783 Iceland eruption that resulted in several years of crop failures in Europe. The final result of that particular eruption was the French Revolution of 1789. At any rate, to quote GSM, ” it will lead to the collapse of Empires.” We already seeing crop damage, from hail, cold and wind. I highly suggest you add to your food stockpiles.

In my case, although I see what is happening, and have for several decades, well let’s just say, I am going down with the Empire. I will leave with three quotes on death, which is what we all face, some sooner, and some later. Bluntly put, what we called the “mass die off,” way back in the much quainter times of pre Y2K, is soon to start. It may result from this new “Disease X,” and a global pandemic, or it may result from mass starvation from agricultural failure from the now underway Grand Solar Minimum.  It is upon us, to quote Denathor, Steward of Gondor in the Lord of the Rings triology, to Merry Pippin, “Go and die as you see fit.”

The first quote is: The Man Who Knows His Fate Knows No Fear. Lord Kageshita of Japan.

The second quote is: If you fear death, you are already dead.

The third quote is: To Live the Inferior Life is Worthless.

The fourth quote is: If you are not afraid of death, you are in control of life.

I am saying that natural, ecological and solar cycles are now starting to impact daily human life on Planet Earth. I also suggest you prepare yourself for what is now starting to happen, including the spiritual aspects.

JAIL TIME FOR CLINTON’S? IG REPORT TO BE RELEASED NEXT WEEK

If we are ever going to restore the rule of law in America, then the corrupt elite must be indicted, tried, convicted, and then serve time in jail. If that doesn’t happen, then the United States deserves what happens to it. Further, I am not optimistic that will happen under the current Deep State fascist oligarch system now ruling the USA. It is also a fact, as seen by AG Sessions “deal” with the Pakistani couple, we have a Deep State operative as AG, just like we have multiple Deep State operatives at all levels of the various Federal Agencies.

The Department of Justice Inspector General Horowitz is now getting ready to release his “investigation,” into how the DOJ, the FBI, and all their employees handled the Clinton E-mail investigation on June 14th. Given the dismal record of Sessions, Wray and the entire lot of them, I am not going to have high expectations here. It is clear to me the Deep State plan is to allow limited revelations of just how corrupt our elite truly is, as long as they aren’t held accountable, or ever do the famous “perp walk.” When Trump said during the 60 Minutes Interview with Leslie Stahl back in November of 2016, that the Clinton’s were “good people,” I knew then the game was rigged. Ergo, we will get an IG report that indicates gross felonies by the Clinton’s, and gross negligence by the FBI, and the DOJ in the investigation. After that, the fake news press will go to town, or we will have a major false flag attack, and everybody will walk. They will walk just like all the others have, from Lerner in the IRS, to Paige, and McCabe and all the rest. If that is what happens, then I wish Russia’s Putin, and China’s Li God speed when they defeat our military, invade us, and then start executing our elite in massive numbers. At any rate, the “rumor” is the IG report will be “hot.” If nobody does jail time, it will be just another farce. You may call me the doubting doomer. Until I see the perp walks, the Grand Jury indictments, the trials and the convictions this is nothing to me. Until then, let our enemies crush us for the vile and evil nation we have become. It is said the report will “criticize” former AG Lynch. Seriously, she has engaged in multiple felonies. The fix my be she gets spanked in public, and then takes her ill gotten gains and goes to Belize. Some justice that will be. We shall see what happens, but if all that happens to Lynch is she gets “criticized,” then the whole process was a farce from day one.

DOJ To Release Report On Clinton Email Probe On June 14 With Explosive Hearing To Follow

by Tyler Durden

Thu, 06/07/2018 – 19:36

Less than three weeks after we learned that the IG report on the Clinton email probe was in its final review, and which has found among other things that James Comey not only “defied authority” but was “insubordinate“, we finally have the long awaited drop date: June 14.

DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz told Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles Grassley in a letter on Thursday that his office is planning to release the highly anticipated report detailing broad allegations of misconduct by FBI and Justice Department officials in the months leading up to the 2016 presidential election on June 14.

It only gets better from there because Horowitz also said that he will testify before the Judiciary Committee on June 18 in what may be the most watched Congressional testimony since Comey spoke on the Hill on June 8, 2017.  The House Judiciary and Oversight committees are expected to hold a hearing on the report the next day.

As we have reported over the past year, the inspector general’s probe has so far focused on former FBI Director James Comey’s various statements and letters regarding the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server while she was secretary of State, as well as the unauthorized disclosure of nonpublic information by Justice Department employees.

As ABC reported yesterday – oddly enough this particular leak did not make it to either WaPo, nor NYT nor CNN –   the report is expected to fault Comey, accusing him of defying authority at times during his tenure as the nation’s top FBI official. It’s also expected to criticize former Attorney General Loretta Lynch for her handling of the Clinton email investigation.

The inspector general’s report has been more than a year in the making. The DOJ launched the investigation into the matter in January 2017, roughly a week before President Trump took office; ironically it was commissioned by Democrats and was intended to look into the FBI’s reopening of the Clinton email probe, something which Hillary has repeatedly blamed losing the presidential election on.

Trump questioned on Tuesday why the report was “taking so long” to release, and raised questions about whether internal investigators were seeking to make the report’s findings “weaker.”

“What is taking so long with the Inspector General’s Report on Crooked Hillary and Slippery James Comey,” Trump tweeted. “Numerous delays. Hope Report is not being changed and made weaker! There are so many horrible things to tell, the public has the right to know. Transparency!”

Of course, should the IG investigation challenge Comey’s work as FBI director, which we now know it will, it will bolster Trump’s argument that he did the right thing by firing Comey. It also brings the debate back to Clinton’s email server.

“When will people start saying, “thank you, Mr. President, for firing James Comey?” Trump tweeted Thursday.

Trump will also point to a previous IG report that accused Comey’s deputy, Andrew McCabe, of misleading internal investigators about a news media disclosure.

In short, the IG will find major problems with the actions of both Comey and McCabe; whether it will also conclude that Comey acted in a biased, political manner, may be all that Trump needs to be vindicated in his ongoing crusade against Comey, whome he fired Comey in May 2017, citing the former FBI director’s handling of the Clinton email investigation. He later acknowledged that the bureau’s probe into potential collusion between his campaign and Russia also factored into his decision.

Horowitz’ full letter to Grassley is below (link)

WILKERSON’S EUROPEAN ECONOMIC CRISIS IS NOW UPON US 5-29-2018

The other day I wrote that I thought the economic conditions predicted by Pastor David Wilkerson were happening. Pastor Wilkerson had a church in downtown New York City, where he lived a modest life. Wilkerson wasn’t like that fool of a “preacher” whining for money to buy a 54 million dollar private jet. No, Wilkerson was a true man of God, and his “prophecies” ring true. Further, his basic statement was an economic collapse would be triggered by economic chaos in Europe: Germany, Spain, Greece and Italy. The link below indicates a rout is now underway in Europe: TODAY.  The bottom line is Wilkerson’s “economic collapse prophecy” is happening right before our eyes. How far the economic crisis will spread is something I can’t say. I will say the lethal combination of debt and derivatives is now reaching critical mass. The political results from that will have a global impact and likely lead to even more global chaos down the road.

The link is here.

Global Markets Descend Into Contagious Panic As Italy Implodes

by Tyler Durden

Tue, 05/29/2018 – 11:18

Commenting on today’s sheer market chaos as the US and UK return from holiday, Bloomberg writes that “fixed-income markets have descended into panic amid mounting concern over the risk of Italy leaving the euro or leading to its break-up” and while Italy is suffering the biggest losses in peripheral debt, core bonds and Treasuries are spiking higher.

For those who stayed away from market news over the holiday weekend, this is what happened and why we are here today: Italy PM-designate Conte gave up on efforts of forming a government after Italian President Mattarella rejected Eurosceptic Paolo Savona for the Economy Minister position because the appointment would have “alarmed markets and investors, Italians and foreigners” (yes, very ironic in retrospect, although just as we predicted would happen). Mattarella then summoned former-IMF senior director Cottarelli to meet in a move viewed by some as laying the groundwork for a technocratic government. Forza Italia said they would not support this government, and 5SM and League set their sights on the now highly likely new elections (touted from September 9th). Both 5SM and League saying they will evaluate their coalition in these new elections.

Meanwhile, on Sunday Italian President Mattarella gave a mandate to form a government to ex-IMF official Cottarelli, while PM-designate Cottarelli accepted the mandate and sees elections at the start of next year. In related news, League leader Salvini said he hopes there will be a government in October for the approval of the budget law and to avoid a VAT increase and M5S leader Di Maio wants elections as soon as possible, while Forza Italia’s Berlusconi said his party will reject the Cottarelli government.

At the same time, the Spanish Parliament started the process for a no confidence vote against PM Rajoy, while it set the date for debate and vote of confidence on PM Rajoy’s government for May 31st and June 1st.

In short: for those who missed the crazy, volatile days of 2011, here is your change to relive them, and here is the mandatory sea of red to go with it.

But what is different this time, is that while the risk-off sentiment is spreading across risk assets around the world, with Italy and Spain leading declines in European stocks and U.S. equity-index futures also sliding amid soaring contagion fears, with the euro also slammed below 1.16 pushing the yen and USD higher along with gold, it is unclear just what the ECB can do this time, which back in 2012 unleashed the threat of “whatever it takes” to halt the last Italian collapse.

Well this time, “whetever it takes” has been running non stop since July 2012, and the ECB is rapidly running out of bonds to monetize, so it may well be that we are finally approaching the end of the European experiment, unless of course Draghi gets a greenlight from Merkel to start monetizing everything – stocks, bonds, and anything else that is not nailed down – in hopes of stabilizing markets. And before it is all over, he will, just as Europe will file criminal charges against those who dare to short Italian bonds. For now, however, as we showed earlier, Italian bonds are crashing with 2Y yields plunging the most on record, Italian-German spreads exploding, Deutsche Bank stock tumbling below €10 for the first time since September 2016, and Italian bank CDS blowing out.

Hera are some of the key charts from this morning’s Italian avalanche:

The contagion is tangible: while the FTSE MIB is back to July lows, Spain’s IBEX 35 is down the most since February…

In fact, all major European benchmarks are also now in the red for 2018, except France’s CAC 40. Even more important, the declining euro isn’t acting as a cushion for exporter-heavy indexes like the DAX, which is also heavily in the red today.

The downfall in Italian banks has spread across the continent with major losses for the likes of Commerzbank (-5.0%), BNP (-4.6%), RBS (-3.8%), Credit Suisse (-3.8%) all resting at the foot of their respective indices. Meanwhile, Europe’s biggest bank, Deutsche Bank, is back under €10 and just shy of all time lows:

You get the picture.

In short, everyone is only focused on one thing: Italy’s domestic politics. As a reminder, Italian President Mattarella yesterday gave a futile mandate to ex-IMF official Cottarelli to form a technocratic government. Cottarelli’s list of Ministers is expected to be unveiled today, moving the process to a vote in the Italian parliament (League, 5 Star and Forza Italia have majority) where a snap election – now also dubbed a Euro referendum – appears inevitable.

The question now is what the ECB will do: not only how will Draghi stem this outright liquidation of everything Italian, but whether the ECB’s tapering plans are now indefinitely postponed, and/or whether it is time for even more QE.

While Europe is once again a basket case, Asia traded mostly subdued as the region lacked impetus following the market closures in US and UK, while recent weakness in oil prices and political uncertainty surrounding Italy and Spain have added to the cautious tone. Nikkei 225 (-0.6%) was the worst performer as Japanese exporters suffered from flows into the JPY, while Japan Display shares led the declines in Tokyo with losses of over 20% seen in early trade after reports that Apple is to switch to OLED screens on all iPhone models from next year, which in turn underpinned South Korea’s LG Display. ASX 200 (+0.2%) was lifted by strength in its largest weighted financials sector and as energy names shrugged off the recent aggressive pull-back in crude prices. Shanghai Comp. (-0.5%) failed to maintain the early support from a firm PBoC liquidity operation and eventually slipped amid the broad risk-averse tone, while Hang Seng (-1.0%) was weighed by losses in blue-chip property and energy names.

In macro, aside from the ongoing “flight to safety” surge in the dollar which is now at the highest since November…

EBOLA WARNING UPDATE 5-28-2018

My blog readers know I have been following the current Ebola outbreak in Africa for some time now. While I have attempted to provide timely, accurate and reasonable information about this outbreak, I have not pulled any punches. Therefore, I am bringing this to your attention for one reason. You need to have factored in how you will personally prepare for an Ebola outbreak here in CONUS. I am not saying that is going to happen. I am saying it might happen, and all of us need to “honor the threat.” If you wait until “they” tell you Ebola is here in CONUS, it will be too late. The following is based on FACTS, and not hysteria, or breathless announcements colored by “doom porn.” You may take it seriously, or you may ignore it. The choice is up to you, but one of the reasons I started this blog in the first place, was to provide information, credible information, to my blog readers so they can make intelligent, informed decisions based on the information I provide them. Take the below with as much salt as you care too, but be aware the following isn’t doom porn. The information is based on FACTS, solid, documented data and reflects a reasonable analysis based on that information. The bottom line is the 3 people who escaped the DRC hospital, well two of them were late stage, highly infectious and went to a public venue with nearly 60 people there.

The below is my comments over at timebomb2000.com

21 DAYS UNTIL EBOLA CHAOS

Barbou posted her article here on May 28th. The article stated the “Ebola breakout,” happened on Monday, May 21st. Further, the article stated the “incubation period,” for Ebola was 21 days.

THIS MEANS THE 50 TO 60 PEOPLE EXPOSED TO THE LATE STAGE, HIGHLY, HIGHLY INFECTIOUS EBOLA PATIENTS WERE EXPOSED ON MAY 21ST. FURTHER, “THEY” NOW THINK UP TO 600 ADDITIONAL PEOPLE WERE EXPOSED, WHO THEN EXPOSED STILL MORE PEOPLE.

THE BOTTOM LINE IS THREE WEEKS FROM MAY 21ST IS JUNE 11TH. FINALLY, IF ANY OF THOSE ORIGINAL PEOPLE WERE INFECTED, AND THEY THEN INFECTED OTHERS DURING THE THREE WEEK PERIOD, WE WILL SEE A SPIRAL TYPE INCREASE IN TOTAL EBOLA PATIENTS STARTING ON JUNE 11TH, AND THEN CONTINUING TO INCREASE IN NUMBERS OVER THE NEXT MONTH OR SO.

WE SHOULD ALSO BEAR IN MIND THAT IF ANY OF THE INFECTED TRAVELED IT WILL FURTHER SPREAD THE DISEASE IN AFRICA. IT MAY ALSO SPREAD GLOBALLY DEPENDING ON WHO WAS EXPOSED, HOW MANY WERE EXPOSED, AND WHERE THEY WENT FROM THAT ONE CITY. IF ANY OF THEM GOT ON THE RIVER AND WENT ANYWHERE, YOU WILL HAVE ADDITIONAL, SEPARATE EBOLA OUTBREAKS START TO HAPPEN.

Oh yeah, mid June may be the start date for the real Ebola outbreak.

A new Ebola outbreak is on the radar in the Congo and just over a week ago had reached a city of more than a million people. Well, things likely got a whole lot worse over the weekend when family members of 3 infectious patients with confirmed cases of Ebola broke them out of quarantine and took them to a prayer meeting with at least 50 people. That may seem like it’s a long way from the US but read on.

People at the prayer meeting were definitely exposed, as two of the patients were in the most infectious stages of the disease, with vomiting and diarrhea.

Two of the three escapees are dead and the third was returned to the quarantine center.

The UK Independent interviewed Dr. Jean-Clement Cabrol, emergency medical coordinator for Medecins Sans Frontiers (Doctors Without Borders):

“The escape was organized by the families, with six motorcycles as the patients were very ill and couldn’t walk,” Dr. Cabrol told a news briefing in Geneva after returning from the affected region.

“They were taken to a prayer room with 50 people to pray. They were found at two in the morning, one of them dead and one was dying. So that’s 50-60 contacts right there. The patients were in the active phase of the disease, vomiting.” (source)

It’s not unusual in the Congo for this to happen, according to WHO spokesperson Tarik Jasarevic.

He said that both of the deceased had been given a safe and dignified burial and added that “it was only human” that sick people wanted to be with their families “in what could be the last moments of life”.

“It is very unfortunate that people fled the treatment centre, but it is not unexpected. We had this in previous outbreaks,” he said. (source)

Jasarevic said that this makes it particularly important to engage with the community so they can understand how Ebola spreads and the urgency of getting medical attention.

Tracking down the contacts of the escaped Ebola patients

Now the work begins of tracking down everyone with whom the escaped patients may have been in contact to try and prevent the outbreak from getting out of the city into an even more populated area.

Because Ebola has a 21-day incubation period, an infected person might not realize they have contracted the disease until it’s too late and they’ve exposed uncounted others to it.

Health officials started trying to trace the motorcycle drivers and other people who came into contact with the patients as soon as the escape was reported, Dr. Peter Salama, head of emergency response at the WHO, told Reuters.

“From the moment that they escaped, the health ministry, WHO, and partners have been following very closely every contact,” he said.

“All it takes is one sick person to travel down the Congo River and we can have outbreaks seeded in many different locations … that can happen at any moment. It’s very hard to predict,” he said, referring to the river linking the trading hub of Mbandaka to the capital Kinshasa, whose population is 10 million.

More than 600 contacts have been identified so far.

Could this Ebola outbreak spread to Europe and the US?

If a person with Ebola gets to the capital city, that’s when people in other areas really need to begin paying attention. Kinshasa is a major transportation hub.

Software called FLIRT (FLIght Risk Tracker) has determined where the virus could potentially spread from there.

They used flight date from the airports in Mbandaka, Kinshasa, and Brazzaville to predict the places most at risk for infection and found that these cities are the most closely connected to the point of origin.

• Pointe-Noire, Republic of Congo
• Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
• Brazzaville, Republic of Congo
• Lubumbashi, Democratic Republic of Congo
• Brussels, Belgium
• Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo
• Paris, France
• Nairobi, Kenya
• Johannesburg, South Africa
• Kisangani, Democratic Republic of Congo

The countries which are the most connected are:

• Democratic Republic of Congo
• Republic of Congo
• Ethiopia
• Belgium
• France
• Kenya
• South Africa
• Gabon
• Morocco
• Côte d’Ivoire

It’s not hard to see how easily this outbreak could reach highly populated parts of Europe. And then, it could go anywhere.

Including the United States. EcoHealth Alliance reports:

The analysis ranks the United States 17th on the list, with 0.5 percent of outgoing passengers entering the country. The U.S. cities with the highest percentage (greater than 0.01 percent) of incoming passengers coming from the Democratic Republic of Congo are:

1. New York (JFK): 0.13% of US-bound passengers coming from the Region of Interest (ROI)
2. Miami (MIA): 0.11% of US-bound passengers coming from ROI
3. Atlanta (ATL): 0.06% of US-bound passengers coming from ROI
4. Boston (BOS): 0.05% of US-bound passengers coming from ROI
5. Los Angeles (LAX): 0.05% of US-bound passengers coming from ROI
6. Detroit (DTW): 0.04% of US-bound passengers coming from ROI
7. Washington, D.C. (IAD): 0.02% of US-bound passengers coming from ROI
8. Cincinnati (CVG): 0.01% of US-bound passengers coming from ROI
9. Dallas-Ft. Worth (DFW): 0.01% of US-bound passengers coming from ROI
10. Newark (EWR): 0.01% of US-bound passengers coming from ROI
11. Chicago (ORD): 0.01% of US-bound passengers coming from ROI
12. Ft. Lauderdale (FLL): 0.01% of US-bound passengers coming from ROI

It only takes one sick person on any of these flights to result in a global pandemic that could wipe out millions of people.

“While the percentage of overall passengers entering the U.S. from that region is low,” said Dr. Peter Daszak, President of EcoHealth Alliance. “With approximately half a million passengers traveling from the Democratic Republic of Congo each year, the disease requires just one infected traveler to cause a global public health emergency, and this helps us be forewarned and prepared.” (source)

The last time Ebola reached our shores, we got very, very lucky. One patient completely overwhelmed an entire hospital. If there were hundreds or thousands of patients across the country, it wouldn’t take long for things to devolve into absolute chaos. Ebola can have a death rate as high as 90%.

Like I said in the previous article I wrote on this topic, it isn’t time to batten down the hatches but it’s certainly time to be watchful and make sure that you are prepared for the potential of a pandemic. As you can see, it isn’t a stretch of the imagination to think that the deadly disease could once again reach the US.

• Learn more about prepping for a pandemic
• Stock up on emergency food
• Learn about going into lockdown

Ebola could easily spread outside the Congo and by the time it does, everyone else will be vying for the same supplies.
