There has been a long-running scary report about how the Chicago police department has been operating a clandestine off-the-books interrogation compound where they take Americans, hold them there with no lawyers or rights, and just threaten you without any oversight. Americans who have been snatched up by the Chicago police are unable to be found by family or attorneys. Even lawyers are coming forward saying that this is the domestic equivalent of a CIA black site. Of course, it takes a British newspaper to report the story as was the case with Snowden.
This is the problem with our legal system. They get to do whatever they desire and it is out burden to argue it violates the Constitution. It should be the other way around.
QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong; I have heard people say that the Russian sanctions were intended to overthrow Putin. Is it true that the Neocons believe that Russia will collapse and they will then walk in and take control of all their nukes?
PV
ANSWER: Believe it or not, the answer is YES!!!!! These people are HIGHLY dangerous for they eat, sleep, dream, and take every possible step to try to eliminate Russia. Why? I really do not know. I think that cannot sleep at night without hating someone. They were terrified when the Soviet Union fell. Suddenly there was no arch enemy. My opinion, as kids they took the Rocky & Bullwinkle cartoons way too seriously.
The Neocon have concluded that the sanction will NOT create an uprising against Putin. Now instead, they rewrote their script and forecast that Putin will see his support wither and his ability to control the Russian Federation will collapse creating a vacuum into which the Neocons will convince the White House to send in the troops, which why they have to get rid of Trump and paint him as a puppet of Putin.
The Neocons have told people in Washington that WHEN this vacuum emerged, then the individual fragments of the Russian Federation will separate. They argue that this is the real purpose of the sanctions to overthrow Russia. They further argue that declining oil prices will turn the ruble into rubble. Putin will be unable to meet the rising cost of his military and this will lead to its collapse. They further argue that Russia will NOT officially break up into multiple countries, but Moscow will have some loose power hold on semiautonomous regions that eventually fight among each other. They are telling Washing that it is HIGHLY unlikely that the Russian Federation will survive in its current form.
Now that said, the computer FLATLY disagrees with this crazy Neocons. They are completely obsessed with Russia that they fail to understand economics, history, or bother to even look out the window at what is taking place in the United States. I think we have just a slightly better database than the IMF, CIA, or any of them. Here is the Russian share market we reconstructed from newspapers that took a team to assemble. This is why our forecasts on Russia have been correct.
Here is the Yearly Array on the Russian market. We start with chaos and panic cycles beginning next year along with volatility. I will bet on the computer before these Neocons who will start World War III simply because they just hate Russians without just cause. All of this propaganda about Russia denying Hillary the presidency is spun also by the Neocons. They may appear to be Republicans, but they have been behind every invasion in the Middle East with their deranged ideas. The polls they have turned to where over 40% of Americans see Russia as the enemy. This is a key element for them to start wars, which is their goal.
The contrast between Republicans and Democrats is VAST thanks to the alleged Russian infiltration to release the Democratic Party emails. Now, 40% of Republicans do not see Russia as an enemy according to Gallup Polls yet among Democrats that is only 25%.
I have stated before that yes I know Bill Kristol personally. I believe he is one of the leaders of the Neocons. He was one of the authors of the book used to justify the war with Iraq which has destabilized the Middle East. I profoundly disagree with him on so many levels.
Make no mistake about it, I believe the Neocons are behind the curtain also working hard to get rid of Trump. Their greatest fear is that he has two terms and that means they could not start World War III before 2024. I really do not understand these people. They are so easy to see other people’s children die for a theory they dreamed up while sitting on the throne in the men’s room.
There is no longer any practical justification for war. The old days of empire building are gone. There would be ZERO economic benefit to overthrow Russia any more than there was to invade Iraq. They just kill a lot of people for a dream that makes no sense.
It has become the Neocons who are the greatest threat to world peace. I BELIEVE they were also behind the curtain with the bankers to rig the Russian elections in 2000 which backfired and installed Putin in the first place.
Perhaps all former Miss America contestants should protest in their offices since they have all said they wish for World Peace. What most people do not know is that the Neocons have more influence right now with Democrats than Republicans
Every quarter, CNBC surveys its Global CFO Council to gain insight into the status of the current global economy. The CFO council is comprised of Chief Financial Officers of the world’s largest 113 companies that combined are worth nearly $5 trillion. Interestingly the council is comprised almost exclusively of multinational corporations who are generally opposed to President Trump’s MAGAnomic trade reset.
However, in the third quarter survey the CFO’s note that only one economy in the world is currently improving, the United States.
The multinational CFO’s (Wall Street) generally rail against President Trump’s trade and tariff proposals in almost all financial media. These are the same multinationals who decry President Trump’s deployment of tariffs as a trade negotiation strategy. However, when it comes to actually quantifying the growth rate of the global regions covered, they admit the U.S. is where the current and future growth is most expansive.
[…] The fact that the U.S. appears to be pulling away from the rest of the world hasn’t gone unnoticed, at least not in the White House. At a speech last week at the Economic Club of New York, Trump’s top economic adviser, Larry Kudlow, said “the U.S. is the hottest economy in the world today. We’re crushing it.”
But wait a minute.
For some time now, the “experts” have been telling us that the U.S. was just riding a global growth wave. The improved economy here had nothing to do with Trump’s deregulatory efforts, or his pro-growth tax cuts, or the sharp uptick in optimism once he got elected.
[…] Now it appears that the U.S. economy is accelerating, while the rest of the world is in neutral. (read more)
Not only is the U.S economy the place to be for investment opportunity and the highest rates of return; but all sectors of the economic base are expanding and generating overall GDP growth.
Orders for durable goods reflect the underlying businesses are predicting future growth, long-term growth. Trucks and heavy transportation equipment orders continue growing by double-digits (currently 13%). That is a massive investment internal to the underlying U.S. economic expansion.
The afternoon session of the Senate Judiciary Committee will begin shortly with testimony from Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh, following the morning testimony of accuser Christine Blasey Ford. Anticipated start time is 3:00pm EST.
The Senate Judiciary Committee will be hearing testimony from Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh and Professor Christine Blasey Ford about her allegations that Judge Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her while the two were teenagers. The anticipated start time is 9:45am EST.
During a break in the testimony of Christine Blasey-Ford, democrat Rep Sheila Jackson Lee attempts to discretely pass along an envelope to notoriously corrupt DC attorney Michael Bromwich.
During a U.N. press conference President Trump was asked if he rejected a meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. President Trump affirmed he did reject a meeting over the ongoing conflict within the U.S-Canada trade issues. CTH Readers will likely remember when President Trump was going to announce the U.S-Mexico trade deal, Trump attempted to call Trudeau in advance. Justin from Canada rejected the phone call.
.
Justin and Chrystia from Canada have made a political decision to reject any trade negotiations in favor of using conflict with President Trump to aide their domestic political agenda. Justin and Chrystia are counting on U.S. political opposition to block POTUS Trump from ending the tri-lateral NAFTA deal.
However, what Justin and Chrystia have not considered (nor anyone else), was U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross and President Trump anticipated a political approach several months ago. No-one dissects the details within a contract better than Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross. He is legendary in the business world for this specific skill-set.
There is a very good reason why the U.S-Mexico deal was structured with strong benefit toward the Mexican economy. POTUS Trump and Wilbur Ross knew prior corporate investment in Mexico, tens of billions, combined with modifications to the ‘Rules of Origin’ would benefit both Mexico and the U.S.
Specifically, EU auto companies using Mexico for manufacturing would need to add to their investment within Mexico to meet higher content requirements.
Additionally, within another part of the strategic agreement, President Trump and Wilbur Ross structured the big picture to enhance U.S. investment in Mexico in the energy sector.
USTR Robert Lighthizer then executed on the U.S-Mexico strategy by building the framework for a trade bloc that is actually better for Mexico than the original NAFTA. In essence, Lighthizer made Mexico a regional “MFN” (Most Favored Nation).
The result of the U.S-Mexico agreement is a joint trade bloc that enhances the Mexican economy with a much larger (expanded investment) and stronger (industrial/manufacturing) relationship to the U.S. This joint agreement makes Mexico far stronger.
Now, why?
Why was so much emphasis put on making the terms so much better for Mexico than the existing NAFTA?
The answer circles back to the political approach by Canada to oppose President Trump.
After AMLO won the election…. long before anyone was paying attention…. Team USA entered into a joint “trade strategy” with AMLO’s objectives in mind. The AMLO objectives, to expand the Mexican economic base, are based on different policies from the Pena Nieto administration.
In August Mexican trade representative Jesus Seade (AMLO) and USTR Lighthizer (Trump) privately cemented the framework. After the U.S-Mexico deal was announced, in the past six weeks the details have been filled in.
What Canada did not factor into their political approach was the likelihood that Mexico, not the U.S., will actually be the first country to exit NAFTA.
Mexico exiting NAFTA first removes the political leverage from all of Trump’s opposition.
The political dynamic changes. President Trump is then responding to the Mexican withdrawal.
After Mexico announces their exit, the U.S. team will announce the details of the U.S-Mexico deal that are based on a bilateral agreement. The bilateral agreement means the U.S. must also withdraw from NAFTA. This move negates Canada’s ill-fated political scheme.
What’s Canada going to do, start publicly denouncing Mexico?
