Hillary & The Panama Papers


Hillary-Putin

Yellow-JournalistsThere is little doubt that Hillary is one step away from people implicated in the Panama Papers exactly as was Putin. The question has been; why has the press not put Hillary on the headlines? I think we all know the answer to that; they have already crowned her President. The lack of integrity of the media to treat Hillary the same as Putin illustrates the bias of the press. We should never forget that the Spanish American War was instigated by false media coverage simply to sell papers. Yes, the man they named the Pulitzer Prize after because he made so much money with fake news reports becomes honored among journalists. I suppose that would be like the liquorPulitzer-Herst Press War industry celebrating Al Capone. The failure to use the very same standard they applied to Putin with Hillary, illustrates the lack of integrity once again that will go down in history – Yellow Journalism.

Hillary and Bill have multiple connections with people who have used the besieged law firm Mossack Fonseca to establish offshore entities exactly as did Putin. The Clinton buddies include  Gabrielle Fialkoff, the finance director for Hillary Clinton’s first campaign to run the U.S. Senate. That is the same as a Putin “aid” but she is saved from such headlines. Then there is Frank Giustra, who is a Canadian mining guy who travels the world with Bill. Let us not forget the Chagoury family, which pledged $1 billion in projects to the Clinton Global Initiative. Remeber the Chinese billionaire Ng Lap Seng, who was at the center of a Democratic fund-raising scandal when Bill Clinton was president. Of course there was the late billionaire investor Marc Rich, an international fugitive for tax evasion who Bill Clinton gave a Presidential pardon. The Clintons themselves do not appear to be in Mossack Fonseca’s database, or at least the journalists are protecting her for now. Their daughter, Chelsea, and her husband hedge fund manager Marc Mezvinsky, have also not been sited. Clearly, the way the journalists spun this story against Putin for having an aid with such connections, leaves us guessing about the integrity of the press avoiding the same connection with Hillary. Of course, the Telegraph reported Putin’s comments on Hillary: “it’s better not to argue with women.” She is widely hailed by the press because they want a woman president just as they did Obama because they wanted a black president. It is always about what they want. It seems Yellow Journalism is alive and well.

Panama Paper Names to be Partially Released Today?

The ICIJ has said they will release today names of people involved in the Panama Papers. They say they will be withholding the actual documents which include everything from copies of people’s passports to telephone numbers, Mossack Fonseca’s internal emails and, in some cases, financial records, material that will not be included in Monday’s release and will remain available only to the ICIJ and its journalist partners. The glaring question to emerge has been whether or not they are hiding documents and names that lead to people like Clinton and their friends. The political releases so far have all been only on one side of the political aisle. Will the ICIJ really release the names without political consideration? Given Hillary’s cattle futures deals and their slush fund pretending to be a charity that took in almost $150 million and gave out just $9 million, lawyers use lawyers. The dealing of the Clintons have long been considered shady. It will be interesting to see is ANY one on the left is contained in this release.

Can You be Forced to Incriminate Yourself With Your Phone of Computer?


Apple Cell Fingerprint

The government is dancing between the raindrops. The 5th Amendment states that you cannot be compelled to testify against yourself. You have the right to remain silent. So how do they get around this? In my case, I personally was not held in contempt since that would have violated my constitutional right. Instead, the corporate officer was held in contempt, and since a corporation is not a person that right did not apply.

The bad news is that the government has held that anyone under investigation must submit a DNA sample, which they can then use to trace you or any member of your family who is suspected of a crime. Even worse is what courts have done with this regarding telephones. If you use a fingerprint scanner as a security feature on your computer or cell phone, they can trace it and throw you in prison until you do as the court demands because they regard any biological evidence as an exception. In other words, you are not being forced to testify against yourself. They are taking bodily evidence to find you guilty.

Now that measure may be acceptable in extreme cases such as rape. However, the government is simply using this to go after money. They need not even know that anything is on your phone. The mere fact that there might be evidence is sufficient to imprison you for life, without a trial, under civil contempt. Courts can and do order people to unlock their phones with their fingerprint. Providing a password is different from providing a fingerprint. So you might want to forget biotechnology for security. The legal implications are far different from a password.

Congressional Elections for 2016


Congress - 2016

While the media focuses on the U.S. presidential election, the real power is dangling in Congress. The 2018 election will be far more important as there is a risk of Independents sweeping into Congress at that time. For now, there is a total of 469 seats in the U.S. Congress (34 Senate seats and 435 House seats) that are up for election on November 8, 2016.

John McCain is already concerned that he may lose his seat because he has come out in favor of Trump. Actually, I say good riddance. McCain voted to impose taxes on internet commerce. When asked why he supported raising taxes, he replied that he was not voting to raise taxes, rather he was simply voting to collect taxes that should be collected. McCain is a hypocrite. There is no country he would not invade, including Canada.

The big story of the 2016 election cycle will be in Congress. The congressional election cycle will determine whether the Democratic Party will be able to regain control of the Senate. In order to take that chamber back, the Democrats will need to gain five seats in 2016. That may not sound like a lot, but it could be very difficult. Republican incumbents, not Democrats, hold the majority of the vulnerable seats. Consequently, Democrats only have 10 seats to defend in 2016, while 24 Republican incumbents are up for re-election. There is a shot that the Democrats could accomplish a victory.

US Senate 1855-2015

The Democrats have been in a bearish trend since the Great Depression and have been making lower lows. Nonetheless, independents are turning up. The success of Bernie and Trump shows that the public is in a foul mood. As we begin to get closer to the elections, this should begin to flesh out, especially in August. We have to be concerned that August is often a time of civil unrest/war. So, we may begin to see activity rise at that time prior to the elections.

Son leaves Mon's Basement

You do have a young (and over-the-hill) socialist movement against Trump. They actually claim this is some new form of socialism where you can give them more without robbing the rich. Very strange. They are throwing words around that Trump is a racist as they are doing in Britain against Nigel Farage. They are completely ignorant since “Muslim” is a religion and not a race. The benefit of being young is you can also be stupid.

I agree there isn’t much time time before all hell breaks loose.

Gov’t Is Incapable of Managing Anything – The Electric Crisis in Europe


Electric Cars

Part of the global warming/climate change deals, many people do not realize that in Europe there will be no more gasoline and diesel cars on the streets come 2020. From Norway to India the year 2020 will mark the end of petrol or diesel vehicles. This is part of the long-term bear market in energy. Germany wants to bring at least million electric vehicles on the roads. However, this energy policy presents a crisis. They never realized that to prevent cars from using oil based energy, they have to get ready for a 25%-30% increase in power consumption. Shutting down nuclear power plants means you are transferring one pollution source for another.  Meanwhile, Germany was to shut down all nuclear power by 2022. Nobody seems to have figured out the coordination of these two trends.

Tripwire Alert – Arrogant Speaker Paul Ryan Refuses To Support Donald Trump…


We know from the past six years that the GOPe/RNC wants the same things as do the progressives and the DNC so Trump can expect no cooperation in making any changes to existing programs. In my opinion he will need to start a media campaign no later than March or April 2017 to get the people to put pressure on the congress to make the changes they want so he can sign them.

Euro Collapsing thanks to Another Brain-Dead EU Proposal


Merkel-Forcing Refugees

Merkel’s failed refugee policy is destroying the fabric of Europe and raising international concerns that Europeans may need visa’s because she has introduce the prospect of ISIS using Europe as a stepping to get into the USA. Now, Merkel’s policy is to force other countries to take refugees. The European Commission now wants to compel European member states to accept  refugees by imposing a fine of 250,000 euros per applicant they deny. Instead of admitting a huge mistake, they are creating a mandatory option that will only bring in more people. Merkel’s policy is tearing Europe apart at the seams. Instead of dealing with the issue directly and publicly stating ALL refugees will be turned away, the crisis only get worse. About 80% are not even refugees from Syria. These are people migrating to Euro from northern Africa and other places using this as the great way to the promised land. The euro has been collapsing as a result of this new brain-dead idea where politicians REFUSE to every admit a mistake. They take their countries down in the process. Friends in London are starting to say if Britain does not exit the EU, they will migrate to the USA. This is becoming completely an insane Brussel’s policy and the member states who do not get out are out of their mind. The economic union has become a political union with dictatorial powers from Brussels as the Troika never even stand for election so there is no way to vote the people out of power.

Annoying, Irrelevant Gnats Will Now Seek Third Party Candidate…


There is no real difference between the RNC/GOPe and the DNC and untill the citizens are fully aware of this there can not be a real change. Trump and Sanders are the result of the citizens beginning to wake up and understand that virtually all in DC are out ONLY for themselves and they don’t care a lick for the common man/woman. Once the citizens are fully awake there will be hell to pay for all the political class in DC.

What the Press is Not Talking About Bernie Beating Hillary


Bernie-Change

Bernie beat Hillary in Indiana. They are focusing on Trump beating Cruz, ignoring that Bernie beat Hillary. What this is revealing is that people are angry at government. Bernie and Trump have a lot more in common. In Spain, the king had to dissolve Parliament because the politicians could not win a majority or form a government. This is a worldwide phenomenon. This is NOT about Trump – this is about government as a whole.
