After seven long years of hiding out at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, Wikileaks cofounder Julian Assange was arrested and will be turned over to America. The DOJ has charged him with conspiracy to commit computer hacking. To some, he is a bad guy that was involved in the biggest release of classified information in U.S. history. To others, he is a stone cold hero that risked it all to inform the public.

Unemployment is near 3% and President Trump is calling for rate cuts and quantitative easing. Is the economy doing well or getting ready to tank? Financial writer John Rubino says, “We went from being at all-time highs to down 20% in sort of a flash crash in two months towards the end of last year. That told the Fed and the other central banks that they can never tighten again. This is it for this cycle and for the entire remaining time of today’s financial system for higher interest rates. They abruptly announced to never mind about those four rate hikes that were going to happen in 2019. We (the Fed) are not going to do anything. If we do anything, it will be in the opposite direction and cut interest rates and a new round of QE, etcetera and etcetera. The stock market went right back up to record levels. (more…)

Don’t believe what the Democrats and the mainstream media are telling you when they say there is no crisis on the Southern U.S. border. That’s a huge lie, and the numbers speak for themselves. There was more than 100,000 apprehensions of illegal aliens in the month of March alone. Experts say the crisis is “manufactured.”

Journalist Alex Newman says the case against President Trump has proven to be an elaborate treasonous hoax and now is the time for consequences. Newman explains, “The time to prove this is finished. Everybody now knows this was a giant hoax. If this would have happened in any other country, imagine a coup against Angela Merkel where senior officials conspired to make up stuff and overthrow her government. Imagine this against Theresa May, Emmanuel Macron or the President of Mexico. In any one of those countries, all the coup plotters, all the traitors would have been rounded up, arrested and put on trial. Even the people realize this was a hoax, and not just a hoax because a hoax implies something funny or playful–this was a plot. This was a conspiracy to overthrow the democratically elected President of the United States and overthrow our constitutional system of government using criminal means to wage war on the United States. . . . There is nothing to discuss anymore. We know they did it. It’s time for them to be arrested and put on trial. I am very pleased that President Trump is using the word ‘treason.’ That’s the word that needs to be used, and the time to strike is now.”

Dr. Dave Janda of the popular radio show Operation Freedom says the end of the Mueller probe means the coup to remove Donald Trump from power is over. Why would all these high ranking players create a fake story and commit massive crime to take out Trump? Dr. Janda says, “Power, control and money. Donald Trump is not part of their particular silo in the globalist club, that being the Rothschild/Rockefeller axis. They saw Trump as an enemy of their state. The movement he helped create took on their power base and attacked the middle level puppets of the Rothschild/Rockefeller axis, meaning the Obamas, Clintons, Bush family, McCains, Romneys, Ryans and Soros’. They see Trump as an individual leading a movement that can affect how they have been able to control and their ultimate power. . . . They want to undermine him and continue to want to remove him from office. When you break all this down, it is about sedition . . . and treason. . . . Why would they do something like this? This is all about sedition, treason . . . and a cover-up of all these Deep State players’ criminal activity. This was meant to get Hillary in power so they could continue to sweep this under the rug.”

Now that the Trump “witch hunt” called the Mueller investigation is over, Trump goes on the attack. There was No collusion with the Russians and No obstruction. Now, look for the Trump Administration to strike back. This was a made up crime, and the people who invented this fairy tale should be prosecuted for treason and sedition. Many on the left cannot let go, even though their own legal experts say “it’s over.”

Financial writer and professional trader Rick Ackerman says get ready for extreme deflation, not inflation. In his mind, the deflation scenario is building. Ackerman says, “Yes, it is. When you talk about $22 trillion in federal debt, that is really a drop in the bucket because the bigger piece of it is in the global financial markets, mainly in the derivative instruments. The notional value of that totals a quadrillion dollars, and all of that is what I call ‘unactualized deflation.’ Each transaction in that quadrillion dollar market has a dollar debtor in it. At some point, people are going to be stretched to pay those dollar debts and short term loans or short term paper is not going to settle up the way it usually does, and you will not be able to roll that short term debt. People will be forced to pay and settle up in cash, and I think that is when you will see a short squeeze on the dollar. That will push the dollar’s value up enormously compared to all other currencies.”

Four time best-selling author Jim Rickards says the Fed “throwing in the towel” on rate hikes is signaling a big problem for the economy. Rickards says, “The Fed was tightening to get ready for the next recession. . . . You need to cut interest rates somewhere between 4% and 5% to get out of a recession. How do you cut interest rates 4% if you are only at 2.25%? The answer is you can’t. You have to get to 4% before you can cut 4%, and that’s what the Fed was trying to do. . . . (more…)

The new blood that was elected in the Democrat party in 2018 are as far Left as you can get. Freshmen Congress women Omar, Ocasio-Cortez and Tlaib have Marxist/communist ideas and want that repressive lifestyle for us all. Many say they have turned the Democrat party Left, but I say it was always Left. These people have just exposed Democrats for what they really are–freedom and American hating Marxists. Now, we know what we are really voting for when these folks campaign in the 2020 election.

World renowned precious metals expert Andrew Maguire says pay attention to the new rule that goes into effect at the end of March that will allow gold to become fully valued and monetized as a tier 1 asset for banks around the world. Maguire explains, “Basel III is coming into effect in less than two weeks from now, and it will effectively remonetize physical gold. Of course, that is a big deal. While the synthetic players shuffle chips in this siloed CME casino, the insider bullion banks are positioning for higher gold prices. That is it right there. Bottom line is what are the big boys doing?”

Legendary contrarian investor Dr. Marc Faber says forget about the coming slowdown because the economy has already been backing up for months. Faber, who holds a PhD in economics, explains, “Investors are relatively complacent. Nobody thinks a recession has begun. I think a recession in the U.S. probably began in October/November of last year. If you define a recession as peak economic activity and subsequent declining growth rates that can turn overall negative in the process, I think this is happening now in the world. We are probably already in a recession. The central banks, in my view, will continue to do more or less what they have done in the past, namely, print money.”

The college admissions and bribery scandal is a mess and has already sparked a class action lawsuit against the prestigious colleges involved. Many more lawsuits from aggrieved students and parents will surely follow.

The college scandal is merely a distraction to the biggest political story in U.S. history, and that is the failed Trump coup by the Obama Administration. It involved the FBI, DOJ and CIA and likely went all the way to the top at the White House. We found out this week that the FBI could not investigate the Clinton email scandal properly because it was not allowed access to the emails by the DOJ because of a deal cut with Clinton.

Money manager Peter Schiff says even though there is “record debt everywhere,” the Fed thinks the economy is fine. Schiff explains, “The actual amount of money the government is borrowing is much larger than what they pretend they are borrowing with the official budget. I think the national debt was up around $1.5 trillion in 2018. . . . It’s probably going to be even greater in 2019. . . . We have the biggest annual trade deficit ever in 2018. We’re going to beat that record in 2019. So, we have the twin deficits going off the charts. None of that worries (Fed Head Jay) Powell. We have record corporate debt, record individual debt, record student debt, auto debt, credit card debt and none of that concerns Powell.  (more…)

Macroeconomic analyst Rob Kirby says $21 trillion in “missing money,” discovered in late 2017, is now a “national security” issue but is not a secret to the leaders of the rest of the world. Kirby explains, “The national governments around the world have become all too aware of the shenanigans that have gone on and the poor stewardship that has been illustrated by the keepers of the U.S. dollar, the world’s reserve currency. This is what is at the root of all of our international economic tension. This is what is really at the root of the difficulties and differences between the American regime, the Chinese regime and the Russian regime. These people are aware of what has transpired, and they are not going to tolerate what’s been done in the name of keeping the U.S. dollar propped up as the world’s reserve currency and the criminality that’s been involved in doing so.”

The Democrat Party swinging to the far left is not pulling the rest of it with it. From the widely disliked and unworkable Green New Deal, to the most recent blow up about some anti-Semite comments from a few members, it looks like the party is tearing apart. A simple anti-Semite condemnation could not be agreed upon by the party in a House vote this week. Is the Democrat Party fracturing? It sure looks that way, and the split looks to be getting wider just in time for the 2020 election.
