by Martin Armstrong Property values in Illinois are collapsing thanks to the State being over the edge with its fiscal mismanagement. The state employee pensions are bankrupting the state and are now destroying the value of property in the States as a whole. We previously warned back in 2015: “This is why it appears that real … Read more

by LV The essence of the following article was posted three years ago. Mother Nature took her sweet time, but she is finally imposing her will on a rigged stock market and she is doing so with a vengeance. It is sad that it has come down to this. The Federal Reserve thought it could … Read more

by Chris As far as I am concerned, DB is the prime candidate to break and drag down the European banking system.  Sure the Italian banks are in far worse shape, but they can be kept limping along with a relatively few billions through the back door. DB?  That’s another beast.  They are the perennial … Read more

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caZhy-EsPlY Synopsis: At this point, with the desperate Dems countering every legit and hard-won revelation from the House Intel Committee with disinformation ops straight from the Clinton Crime Cabal HQ, the nation waits with growing anticipation for what it hopes is a detailed and honest report from the Justice Department’s Inspector General, Michael Horowitz. But … Read more

No matter how much money is taken from people as taxes, there will never be enough money to pay for what is needed. Too much money is being used on war and killing the innocent. Too much money is being used to spy on everyone using the NSA, CIA, FBI and all of the rest … Read more

by Chris Black Let me begin this article with a joke about something that actually occurred very recently in the greatest country in the world: Question: What happens to the FBI when they lie in court to a judge? The answer: Pay raise and promotion if they get away with it, full retirement if they … Read more

by Chris Uh oh.  There goes junk debt. This is one of my ‘key signs’ that it’s time to really buckle up…almost there…very close. CBOE Looks Ominous I’m not sure how the CBOE is constructed, whether it’s just an exchange and the broker functions (managing the margin requirements) lie elsewhere, but this is one of those … Read more

by howmuch The latest Bitcoin crash has some investors believing the “end of days” are near. Once bullish “hodlers” and committed individuals now voice their concerns and fears that this crash indicates that the cryptocurrency market may be faced with a new normal.

GUESSING GAME CONSUMES INDUSTRY… NEW YORKER MAG FACT CHECKING ‘BOMBSHELL’ REPORT… h/t drudgereport

from Financial Survival Network The Deep State of the Union Address really showed a totally defeated and humiliated Democratic Party. They sat there stone faced and petulant. The Democratic Party is dead. Perhaps a new party will arise from its ashes. The Bitcoin bust should come as no surprise to any listeners and readers of FSN. … Read more

by IndenturedServant, TBP These three Executive Orders all tie together and a fourth EO is on the way that is being portrayed as a bombshell will further build on these three. Isn’t it amazing how these EO’s are getting NO traction in the MSM? I wonder why that might be.  

by Ruby Henley We need to thank District Court Judge Richard Scotti, who has ruled that videos and documents from October 1, 2017 be released by the Vegas Metro Police.  We are talking here about surveillance video, evidence logs, body camera footage, dispatch logs, 911 calls, search warrant returns, and information on weapons obtained.  Surely … Read more

by Sven Carlin Summary Hard to believe a stock market crash would be good for you, but that is actually true. I create three scenarios for the S&P 500; where it reaches 3,700 points, remains flat, and where if first drops 70% and ends up at 2,200 points in 2027. You will be surprised with what … Read more

by IndenturedServant, TBP Brenden Dilley’s source has said there will be as many as nine more Memo’s IIRC but only four or five will be released because they will be “enough”.  I see two attempted coups here. One is against Trump being elected which is de facto overthrow of the government. The other coup was thwarted … Read more

by stockboardasset Two years ago, Seattle and King County officials declared homelessness an official emergency. Millions of dollars from the city and county’s coffers were drained to combat the crisis, but since, the problem has expanded and got much worse. King County has become the third-largest concentration of homeless people in the United States, according to a … Read more

by Chris Again from Eric we get this really important education on the difference between liquidity and volume. While it’s pretty normal to have volume and liquidity being coincident, at least that used to be the case, today with our computer-driven “markets” it’s possible to have the liquidity dry up to practically zero even as … Read more

by Chris And…to paraphrase an Uruk-hai from Fellowship of the Ring: “rebound is back on the menu boys!!” Again, the reason that we can and are having such rapid if not violent swings in both directions is due to a profound lack of liquidity. This is from Erik Hunsader of Nanex last night…I’m awaiting this morning’s verdict from … Read more
