You might be wondering why the Trump Administration is calling for rate cuts and money printing with all the good news about the economy. Economist John Williams of ShadowStats.com knows why and contends, “We have a recession in place. It’s just a matter of playing out in some of these other funny numbers. The reality is on the downside, where you have mixed pressures right now. People who are really concerned about the economy right now, and that includes President Trump looking at re-election, he’s been arguing that the Fed should lower rates, and I am with him. The Fed created this circumstance. They are pushing for the economy on the upside because they want to continue to keep raising rates. Banks make more money with higher rates, and they are still trying to liquidate the problems they created when they bailed out the banking system back in 2008.”

Attorney General William Barr refused to show up for a House of Representatives request for him to testify on Trump collusion that has now proven to be a hoax by the Mueller report. There are calls by Democrats to impeach Barr. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has even accused Barr of lying in other House appearances. The DOJ says Pelosi’s charge is “reckless, irresponsible and false.” Why is this happening? I say it is all to discredit AG Barr. This way, when arrests happen for the Trump Russia hoax, the Dems can claim the Trump Administration is attacking them for their politics and not their crimes. It’s not going to work, and this looks like a desperate act.

Market analyst and professional trader Gregory Mannarino doesn’t feel good about the recent new all-time highs in the S&P 500. Mannarino explains, “The environment we are in now is unlike anything we have seen before in world history. The distortions that exist in this market are hard to get your head around. Again, we have never been here. We do not have any resemblance whatsoever of a free market or a free market economy. We are, unfortunately in the United States, managed across the board. The information being fed through the mainstream media (MSM) outlets is all fake. This GDP number we got recently is fake, and that is easily provable. It comes down to this: in order to sustain where we are . . . the relentless acquisition of debt is all that is supporting the environment we are in. There is no recovery, and there is no economic boom. This is a debt boom. That’s what we have, and it’s not just here in the United States. It’s a global phenomenon. It will correct to fair value at one point.”

President Trump says the Deep State tried and failed to remove him from office in a coup. Former CIA Officer and whistleblower Kevin Shipp says the attempted coup on Trump was a global conspiracy. Shipp explains, “Yes, this is a coup. This is the most shocking violation of the Constitution and criminal activity in the history, not just of America, but of a western government. Much of this rises to the level of treason. People need to understand how shocking this is. It was a clear conspiracy. There will be arrests and indictments without question. . . . This was a coup. It was a conspiracy. It was criminal activity. These people need to be indicted, charged and need to be put in prison, and if they’re not, then our Constitution is nothing more than a sham. This was a coup against a duly elected President, and people need to understand how serious this is.”

Rudy Giuliani says the Clintons “are America’s top crime family.” He said this shocking statement in response to Hillary Clinton saying that Trump would have been indicted if he were not President. This shocking statement was largely ignored by the mainstream media (MSM), but make no mistake, it was no accidental slip by one of President Trump’s top legal advisors. I think team Trump is putting the public on notice there are going to be bigtime arrests made in the D.C swamp, and those will include the Clintons.

Journalist and book author Charles Hugh Smith says the next market crash and recession will unfold like the bursting of the 2000 Dotcom bubble. Smith explains, “The bubble popped or deflated not for any crisis, but simply because there was too much debt, too much leverage, too much euphoria and unrealistic valuations. I think we are seeing that now in stocks, housing and a lot of other assets around the world. The valuations just exceed what makes financial sense. . . . And remember, we are at the longest expansion in history. It’s over 10 years, and the average expansion lasts 5, 6 or 7 years. So, this expansion is pretty long in tooth. . . . You will get a slowdown, and that is a self-reinforcing feedback loop. Once people stop buying houses and once people stop buying cars . . . then you are going to get people being laid off, less people being able to afford to eat out, and then you get a self-reinforcing recession. It’s not a crisis, but like an erosion because everybody is kind of tapped out.”

Chris Powell, Treasurer and Secretary of the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee (GATA), says price manipulation of all markets is a major problem the world faces. Powell explains, “This is an issue far bigger than gold and silver. Gold and silver are just minerals, atomic elements. The issue for us is much bigger than that. The issue is free and transparent markets and having an accountable government. You cannot have those things unless you have freely traded monetary metals markets and freely trading currency markets as well. We don’t worship the golden calf or the silver bull. We are pursuing a much more justice oriented agenda here. We want government to tell us what they are doing in the markets. We want them to be open and accountable, and that requires a free and transparent monetary metals market.”

The redacted report from Special Counsel Robert Mueller was released Thursday, and you might as well call it the “Sour Grapes We Didn’t Get Trump” report. There was no collusion and no obstruction but a lot of dirt throwing and whining by the partisan prosecutors who wrote the report. Trump is attacked in this report because he had the audacity to defend himself from false charges. Now, it’s team Trump’s turn to prosecute the perpetrators of this seditious treasonous fraud. People are going to jail over the real collusion to destroy a duly elected President.

Financial writer and precious metals expert Bill Holter is “not worried at all” about the current price smash down for precious metals. Holter says, “We live in a world where all liabilities are more than all liabilities in history. This whole system is going to come down. . . . If you see a house burn down, the only thing left is the foundation. That’s the only thing left because the foundation doesn’t burn. That’s what gold and silver are, and that’s what’s going to be left when this house of financial cards burns down.”

Top trends researcher Gerald Celente said last year the global economy was headed for a big crash—not anymore. Celente explains, “Here’s what changed our forecast. . . . Jerome Powell, the Fed Chair, said on January 4^th 2019, the Fed was going to be “patient” in raising interest rates. . . . The numbers came out for the jobs report, and they created over 300,000 jobs. Wages for all of 2018 have gone up the strongest in 10 years. That would have been a reason to raise interest rates based on Fed policy. Instead, Powell said, ‘We’re going to be patient.’ We sent out a Trend Alert, and here’s what we said, ‘Trump bump and no recession.”  We are also saying not only are they not going to raise rates, but they are going to be lowering interest rates. That is the Trump card that the other countries don’t have. . . . They can’t lower them in Europe. They have negative interest rates. . . . Everybody is in a box except America.”

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.”
