Why You Should Take Delivery
Armstrong Economics Blog/Basic Concepts
Re-Posted Feb 21, 2017 by Martin Armstrong
QUESTION: Hi Marty, I just read the latest blog post. Thanks for the advice re: hard assets. I’m wondering though about any asset which is not in one’s personal custody, i.e. stocks in street name. If we suffer a partial collapse don’t you think the banks and brokerages will suffer to the extent of a Bear Stearns or an MF Global for instance. Would you suggest taking custody of the stock certificates if possible? Thanks for all your shared knowledge!
ANSWER: If you are looking at parking money in bluechip stocks rather than trade, do not leave those shares in Street Name. Take delivery. Even with regard to gold. When you are looking for a parking spot v trading, then ALWAYS take delivery. Do not even leave such things in a safe deposit box.
Keep in mind that a secure bank or brokerage house is still impacted by others. The interconnectivity can be far too complex to keep track of. Much of the reforms of Dodd-Frank made things much worse. The next crash will be concentrated in bonds this time. Keep in mind that Andrew Mellon said that Gentlemen refer bonds. That statement proved to also be fatal during the Great Depression. Countless foreign bonds defaulted and were delisted. A stock that goes into bankruptcy typically returns something unless it was a dream start-up. Government bonds MORE-OFTEN-THEN-NOT, simply evaporate and the government will never prosecute itself.
Democrats in Civil War Against Obama’s OFA?
Armstrong Economics Blog/Civil Unrest
Re-Posted Feb 21, 2017 by Martin Armstrong
Of course the brainwashed Democrats send in emails saying Obama is not behind the shenanigans of civil unrest. They just prefer to blame everyone but themselves and live in their little bubble world. They are totally unaware that the Democrats are themselves experiencing an internal civil war and it is the state level Democrats that are starting to revolt against the Washington elite and that includes Obama’s covert machine behind creating civil unrest called Organizing for Action (OFA). I have reported that normally a President’s fund is shut down after they leave office. Here, Obama has taken a house in Washington, built a wall around it at taxpayer’s expense, and turned it into his bunker to obstruct anything that Trump tries to do. Obama’s OFA troops are especially trying to protect Obamacare, which he regards as his “legacy” even though it is falling apart.
There is brewing an internal civil war within the Democratic Party who are getting very angry at Obama and his OFA some have called “The Devil.” Stephen Handwerk, executive director of the Louisiana Democratic Party, wrote in a private email to fellow party leaders, “This is some GRADE A Bulls–t right here.” Indeed, Handwerk has come out and said that declaring yourself a Democrat in Louisiana is more difficult than coming out as gay. In a leaked email the Daily Beast has published, Handwerk added: “It also to me seems TONE DEAF—we have lost over 1,000 seats in the past 8 years … all because of this crap.”
The email was obtained and published by the Daily Beast, reported the thread of other Democrats at the state level. “Yes, it sure is,” Katie Mae Simpson, executive director for the Maine Democratic Party, replied. “OFA showed up in Maine, organized a press conference on saving [Obamacare], with one of our Dem legislative leaders speaking, all without ever mentioning that they were in state and organizing. They hired someone I know, which is somewhat helpful, but my god, they don’t have a very good alliance-building process.”
They continued: “[With] all due respect to President Obama, OFA was created as a shadow party because Obama operatives had no faith in state parties,” Nebraska Democratic Party Chair Jane Kleeb told Politico last week.”
I have reported that OFA has over 250 offices set up around the country circumventing the Democratic Party with over 30,000 operatives. This is the same OFA that accepted money from Soros who is trying to create a socialist revolution worldwide. I would remove any funds from any hedge fund that donated to Hillary since they are supporting socialism. The New York Post wrote: Obama’s “army of agitators — numbering more than 30,000 — who will fight his Republican successor at every turn of his historic presidency. And Obama will command them from a bunker less than two miles from the White House.”
There are many Democrats at the state level who are starting to see OFA as an organization independent of the Democratic Party itself, which in trying to undermine Trump, yet may in fact, undermine the Democratic Party itself. When we look at the data, the Democratic Party, which was the Party of Slavery to start with led by Andrew Jackson, crashed and bottomed during the Civil War as Abraham Lincoln became the first Republican President.
From that low during the 1860s, the Democratic Party transformed itself initially as a labor type of Party championing the silver miners. They adopted Marxism during the 1890s and reached a peak with Roosevelt during the Great Depression.
Look closely at this chart which takes the total seats of each party combined for the Senate & House as a percent of the total combined available seats. Take note that the Democrats have been in a bear market with lower and lower highs since that major high with FDR during the Great Depression. It was during the 1937 period that the Democrats held 76.8362% of the total seats in the Senate and House of Representatives. It appears that the Democratic Party may fall apart and splinter in 2023. Now Democrats will be writing in on this one. Keep in mind that the Republican elites like John McCain are opposed to Trump. Trump may have ran within the Republican Party, but he has been really a third party candidate with the Republican elite vehemently against him like John McCain. So government is going to change completely.
Obama is behind the effort to derail and block the Trump Administration on everything. However, Obama may be sowing the seeds of the destruction of the Democratic Party altogether. Those who think Obama is not behind this coup are blinded by their bias. To agree with this statement DOES NOT mean the Republicans are saints – just look at John McCain if you need reassurance. John McCain voted to tax the internet.
Obama is deliberately trying to create an uprising and is side-stepping the Democratic Party. Hedge Funds and Hollywood are assisting him. ABC is among the worst. The show the View openly states that not one person voted for Trump and all they do is bash Republicans. You are hard pressed to find a more bias show spouting out propaganda.
This is all being organized and directed through OFA – not the Democratic Party. The civil war brewing within the Democrats is pitting the State level against the Feds and particularly OFA. How this plays out will be extremely interesting. Nevertheless, this is part of the cycle where we see the collapse of the established government structures, and that will include Republicans. We cannot wait for people like John McCain to leave Washington. He is deeply entrenched in the swam
Riots Are Now A Contagion & Spread to Sweden
Armstrong Economics Blog/Civil Unrest
Re-Posted Feb 21, 2017 by Martin Armstrong
The riots in France against police have now spread becoming a contagion of civil unrest in Europe as youth attack police now in Stockholm’s Rinkeby district. Groups of youths have set fire to several cars and plundered businesses as well. It seems we are looking at the idea that never let a good riot go to waste as an opportunity to grab free stuff.
The protesters blocked the street and prevented the fire brigade to respond. When the police arrived, the protesters attacked the police throwing stones at the policemen. The police began to fire warning shots in the air.
Meanwhile in France, these riots have boosted Le Pen and could help to make her win the French election in May.
FAKE NEWS
What cost Hillary Clinton the election? Well obviously it could not have had anything to do with her creepy, fake smile, her human-like warmth or the swamp of corruption and even treason that she has made for herself. It must be the Russians! And FAKE NEWS! In his latest FIREWALL, Bill Whittle picks apart this nonsense and places the blame squarely on the head of the sore loser responsible for her thrashing.
KOMMONSENTSJANE – WHEN WILL THE CONGRESS AND SENATE EMULATE THE PRESIDENT’S WORK HABITS.
The progressives do not like the military as they are always trying to get rid of the Constitution (or what left of it) and they are afraid the military and the former and retired military would try and stop them.
How does this happen?

The news media continues its march to undermine our country and our leader. All of these people just don’t seem to understand – if our country fails so will all of these people and their businesses. Don’t they understand this?
They have to get use to the idea they are dealing with a businessman who is the President and not a politician who cow-tows to their whims. The President is going to set the agenda not the D.C. politicians. The people have lost faith in the politicians they have sent to Washington and have elected a President who they have sent to D.C. to hold these politician’s feet to the fire.
It seems like the politicians are still trying to drag their feet to slow down our leader. They just can’t seem to walk and chew gum at the same time. They are use to following the…

Meanwhile, Rioting Breaks Out In Sweden
It would appear the mainstream media (along with several celebrities and Swedish politicians) is going to be apologizing to President Trump once again.
Having spent the entire new cycle trying to ignore the immigrant crisis facing Sweden, and pin the ignorant tail on Trump, both Dagbladet and Expressen reports riots breaking out in the highly immigrant concentrated town of Rinkeby, Sweden with police firing warning shots as 100s of young people throw stones and burn cars.
During the evening hundreds of young people gathered in the center of Rinkeby, well known for its high concentration of immigrants and people with immigrant ancestry.
In June 2010, Rinkeby was the scene of riots and attacks against the local police station and Rinkeby is the town in which the ’60 Minutes’ crew were attacked in 2016.
The problems Sweden faces integrating large numbers of Muslim immigrants is a subject on which Nordstjernan columnist Ulf Nilson has written many times. His warnings of increasing radicalization among Sweden’s Muslims – warnings he started to broadcast a decade ago – now seem eerily prophetic in light of an Associated Press investigation that found Stockholm to be a breeding ground for jihadists among Swedish Somalis.
According to the AP report, which first ran Jan. 24, an al-Qaida-linked group is busy recruiting anti-government fighters among Somali youths living in Rinkeby. A suburb of Stockholm, Rinkeby has earned the nickname of “Little Mogadishu” because of the number of Somalis living there. Rinkeby is also the center of the recruiting efforts of al-Shabab, a group with ties to al-Qaida.
Rinkeby is a known problem area in Stockholm. It was here NRK journalist Anders Magnus was attacked with stones last spring, and here the police never go in the evenings without reinforcements from other patrols according to Dabladet. A freelancer the newspaper spoke to, described the situation as serious.
“I’ve been in some turmoil, but this is something extra. It looks like a war zone here”, he was quoted as saying .

Freelance Photographer Janne Åkesson has also been at the site Monday night and early Tuesday. “They threw stones at police and police fired warning shots. I got out when it was at its worst” he said to Dagbladet. He added that there were many youths with hoods and hats on.
“It was very chaotic. I have seen much in Rinkeby: they burn cars all the time – unfortunately this was beyond the ordinary.”

As Expressen reports (via Google Translate):
The alarm came to the police at 20:18 on Monday evening. A police patrol should then have been in the area for disposing of a wanted person.
In connection with this began several people at the subway throwing stones at police.
There appeared a number of young people threw stones at the police patrol. I do not know how many it concerned, but there will be several people anyway, says Lars Bystrom, spokesperson at the Stockholm police, told Expressen TV.
Police patrol on the site must have felt so constricted that they were forced to fire warning shots in connection with the stoning. The police will then have withdrawn from the location.
Photos of the site, one can see how many cars are on fire, and emergency services are on site to extinguish them.
7-8 cars have been burned in the area. We move back and forth, it never stands still at such incidents but we have good resources in place, says Lars Bystrom.
According to information are about the emergency services have requested reinforcements from Sollentuna and Brännkyrka.
At 22:20 the police attacked a second time by the youth gang. It was about a planned, concerted attack where the young people rushed towards the police and threw stones.
A police officer was hit by a stone on his arm, but it is unclear how seriously injured he was. Police headlining the event as assaulting a police officer and rioting. No person should even have been arrested in connection with the stoning.
Police EMS Units have been blocked from entering…

Priebus: Take Trump Seriously on Danger of ‘Fake News’
CBS’s “Face the Nation”
Sunday, 19 Feb 2017 11:30 AM
The public should take “seriously” President Donald Trump’s comment the “fake news” media is an “enemy of the American people,” White House chief of staff Reince Priebus said.
In an interview to air Sunday on CBS News’ “Face The Nation,” Priebus blasted news stories about the administration’s Russia links and intelligence briefings in response to host John Dickerson’s query about the president’s angry reaction.
“Well, I think you should take it seriously,” Priebus said.
“I think that the problem we’ve got is that we’re talking about bogus stories like the one in The New York Times, that we’ve had constant contact with Russian officials. The next day, The Wall Street Journal had a story that the intel community was not giving the president a full intelligence briefing. Both…
