Protesting Trump In Israel : Palestinians Should Adopt New Tactic and Target

" Where's Trump?" Protesting Palestinians in Israel should make thousands of signs saying "Where's Trump?" They should engage and protest President Trump directly. He's the enabler of the Zionist tyranny. With America's money and weapons at no cost we in the United States are accessaries and accomplices to The crimes that are committed on a daily basis in occupied Palestine. Waving signs of protests against the autistic and criminal Zionists have no effect. But a relentless non violent protest directed at Trump would be carried around the world by news vendors and iPhones to a sympathetic audience.Embarass the loud mouth ignorant Trump. The criticism will stick because its accurate. "WHERE"S TRUMP ?".

Bitcoin Futures: Central Banks Are History

Cryptocurrencies are here to stay. Why? Because Bitcoin futures will commence trading on December 11, 2017 at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.The Mercantile never backs a loser.The Merc is the incarnation of the greed and will to survive that exists in all of us.It's the monster from the Id to borrow a character from the great 1950's sci-fi film "Forbidden Planet". Government as we know it will go away for lack of funding. Fed up with military-industrial murders? Fed up with the progressives agenda of silly costly giveaways in the Quixotic pursuit of equality among different kinds of people? Switch to crypto currencies and see how the IRS can try to collect? The IRS will be left with many field trips to homes of suspected tax evaders. Ask them if they have a warrant to come in and take an inventory. It will require thousands more employees to carry out awkward and long tedious information gathering.Looks like a law that can't practically be enforced. Like the Volstead Act it will be repealed or effectively killed by non relavence.Central banks will be mostly out of work. Printing money willy nilly and running up debt with the fiat currencies will halt.All that debt around the world in all different dominations are payable in the currency they were issued.But cryptocurrencies are not one of those denominations. So how will government and corporations pay their debt? How will America enforce financial sanctions on "rogue" countries with Bitcoin being a live option? Will ISIS pay its operatives or next of kin with Bitcoin transfers for work rendered? Will Israeli demand Bitcoin instead of dollars for its yearly "aid"? Will members of congress follow Israels lead a require cryptocurrencies as salary instead of bucks?

George Soros : Charity Funds Social Upheaval

George Soros last week let it be known that he has funded his Open Society Foundation with his net worth of $18 billion. Open Society Foundations's charter reads like a to do list for progressives.But many say his social equilibrium projects have a constructively illegal and subversive part. Recently the riots orchestrated by Black Lives Matter across the country have connection to Open Society. Oakland's riots and traffic blocks on our Bay Bridge point to Black Lives Matter involvement and OSF funding.Suppose the Mafia tried to fund a philanthropic foundation with illegal profits. Don't think that would happen. But Soros is funding a foundation with legal funds that constructively supports/instigates subversive/illegal actions.Its the reverse of the Mafia hypothetical scheme. But unhealthy to say the least. Soros' OSF is its mirror image. Soros spelled backwards is still Soros. His name is duplicity.

CHINA : ON THE MOVE

On October 18, 2017 many titled but let's just say he's the boss of China Xi Jinping gave a three hour and twenty-five minute speech to 2300 delegates of the Communist Party.He recited his accomplishments and talked about the future. A new era when China will come into full bloom -my metaphor-and make a more dramatic presence than heretofore. And who will stop them? Me asking.He spoke with supreme confidence and theatrical body english-so to speak.Stop right there. Any one who chatters for three hours and twenty-five minutes sounds like a person who is trying to convince the listeners that he's in control. Also he may be trying to convince himself that he's in control. Long story short. Mainland China is too small for its 1.4 billion citizens and China needs to spread out. Call it colonization or call it just buying and renting any property on the planet that are available.The Asian Flus once upon a time kept in check population growth along with ham fisted intramural revolutions or the occasional invasion by the the likes of the Japanese. But not for a long time has there been an invasion. Who would want to take on 1.4 billion hungry Chines? The victors if some how they won would face the same problem Xi Jinping has right now. How do you feed and house the hoard? Africa, Australia and South China Sea are in the sights of urgent Chinese shoppers.The world has a problem.The U.S. should make friends with Russia.Who knows. We and Russia may need to flank China for our own and the worlds survival.

Rome And United States: Somethings Never Change

On October 23, 415 A.D. Valentinian III was proclaimed Caesar. He became emperor at the age of six years.The rest is history. Soon Rome would be sacked multiple times by many of the same peoples who the Romans had sacked in the prior 1000 years.George W Bush became President of the United States in 2001. He was fifty-five years of age.In 2001 he declared " War on Terror". He invaded Afghanistan in 2001 and Iraq in 2003 because of 9/11 which was carried out largely by Saudi nationals who happened to be hiding in Afghanistan. Iraq was a war of choice with no compelling reasons. And so? Some leaders are truly six years of age and act their age. But some leaders are fifty-five years of age but behave as though they were six years of age.

Israel Versus Gaza Strip

As of 2014 the population of the Gaza Strip was approximately 1.8 million people.Israel's population is approximately 8.5 million. Gaza's area is approximately 141 square miles. Isreal's area including the occupied/stolen lands is approximately 9000 square miles.It's getting more crowded in Gaza.It's not too far fetched in the not too distant future that half of the Gaza inhabitants might decide to invade Israel and personally visit Prime Minister Netanyahu. What would happen ? I don't think that the Zionists can kill that fast to stop the invasion.

Harvey Weinstein: Desert Insect Unchained

Award winning film producer/director/ Harvey Weinstein is in the news today. Only the dead have not heard. It seems he is and has been a serial rapist of numerous women whose only fault was they were young, pretty and wanted to get into the movies. Harvey know those fact upon sight. Harvey's particular wish was to perform oral sex on the nubile in a hurry. Sometimes attacking while she was standing. Harvey didn't waste time.Harvey is a semite. He hails from a long line of insect-like desert dwellers.So when his species invades civilization they are apt to make a fool of themselves. Particularly if they become wealthy. And Harvey is wealthy.QED. P.S One doesn't have to be a wealthy semite to make fool of oneself when it comes to sex wanted or unwanted. But in this example Harvey Weinstein is a classic.

Elon Musk, Bambi And Beyond

Today Elon Musk predicts that space travel will become routine and paying voyagers will visit Mars in the not too distant future.It reminds me of the Walt Disney 1942 classic "BAMBI".In the movie Bambi's mother warns the fawn that "Man is in the forest"And not too much later in the film Bambi's mother is shot and killed. At that time the National Rifle Association convulsed hateful threats that it's no way to raise America's youth by teaching sympathy for wild life. According to the bible all flora and fauna was at the literal disposal of man. Who by the way "was made in the image and likeness of god". I can safely say that our supposed god is not any one I identify with.He can go to hell. Getting back to wunderkind Musk, to paraphrase Bambi's mother "Man is in the seat and ready to travel the galaxies". God help us? There is no god worth taking advice or help from.

Alibaba, Chinese Bourgeois & Xi Jinping

Alibaba blew away earning estimates this morning. It's six percent higher in pre market trading. Alibaba is the Chinese equivalent of America's Amazon. Alibaba is a measuring stick if you will of the ever rising appetite of Chinese bourgeois for all thins that a consumer wants. China's population now approaches 1.5 billion. And they are hungry. Which brings up the hot seat China's President Xi Jinping is uncomfortably sitting on.How is he planning to insure all those people will get fed? How is he insuring that all those people will have room to live and breed ? He has a lot of levers of power. Xi Jinping commands a formidable military. But he can't control 1.4 billion people if they are heading to lunch with a a big appetite.So who's controlling whom? Consequently Xi Jinping has been expanding his countries influence and occupation of the planet into new areas.South China Sea has seen raw aggression in China's filling in tiny atols so Chinese can settle. There they can drop a fishing line into the water . Maybe one of the ever dwindling fish might bite on the Chinamans hook and disappear like so many before him.Chinese are already plundering Africa. In the beginning most of the planet looked like Africa. Now much of the planet looks like China- overpopulated and polluted.So today Xi Jinping has the problem. But increasingly the world will have more of a problem accommodating the munching jaws of the Chinese bourgeois.

San Francisco Progressives Lose Way

Nobody could make this story up.It happened in the progressive enclave of Presidio Terrace. It's about five blocks from where I live.I can see it from my roof where I have an anchored tripod mounted for photos or any other chore that requires a steady support. Some of the former residents of the Terrace were Senator Dianne Feinstein and her husband Dick Blum who has made tens of millions for his family and other investors by selling off U.S. government property.He acted as broker in some cases and as principal in others. That's self dealing also known as stealing. Also Former Speaker Of The House Nancy Pelosi lived there. Her husband Paul Pelosi also sells property that belongs to the U.S. government but at prices that only his investors can afford. Pelosi is the big titted progressive that all want to suckle for freebies. She obliges. She gives one and all what they want because it costs her nothing. Tax payers pick up the tab. She neglects thank you but instead berates all for more. Long story short. A couple of Chinese immigrants, Tina Lam and Michael Cheng, happened upon property for sale due to non payment of back taxes advertised by San Francisco City An County Tax Department .The bill was $14.00 a year. But The Presidio Terrace Association failed to pay for thirty years. The couple paid $90,000. 00 to clear arrears and penalties to secure title to the street and common areas including side walks in Presidio Terrace.That's it. End of story. Progressives in the enclave awakened from their routine of reaching out to illegals or learning how to care and protect members of the LGBTQ community and other designer cause celebre are faced with the prospect of not having control of their streets. How will they explain to visiting politicians who come for money why they can't park on the street unless the pols or other big wigs pay a parking fee to the Chinese couple? Suppose the Chinese couple decide to have a live market street sale featuring live chickens, eels in a tank or mystery meat with the same DNA as a human etc. Progressive have come so far that they have run out of common sense and lost the common touch in pursuit of keeping an open mind.They have lost their way which includes sometimes their streets.

ETF : What's It Worth ?

My information about Exchange Traded Funds (ETF)is from Investopedia. It is the leading source of financial information on the web. My opinions on what ETF's represent in actual value to holders are my own. According to Investopedia ETF's track indices. That would include but not limited to Standard & Poors 500, NASDAQ Power Shares (QQQ), commodities such as gold, oil, materials etc.But because they only track the ETF's don't actually own. Conversely mutual funds own actual shares incorporated in their respective indices. Consequently mutual funds publish daily the net asset value (NAV) of the fund. Exchange traded funds do not publish NAV's. Because they don't own the shares.Every shareholder of ETF's effectively rely on arbitragers to keep the price of ETF's roughly in line with the theoretical underlying value of the stocks or commodities or bonds that make up the index.So the value of the ETF that trades from second to second is what the arbitragers say it is. Shareholders effectively take the word of some unknown person about the fair value of the ETF's at any given moment. Obviously what the price will be in the next moment is not guaranteed by the arbitrager. This reality leaves open the possibility of the tail wagging the dog. The arbitrager may engage in a bear or bull raid in the ETF which could impact actual prices of the real shares that are traded on the exchange.Let's fast forward to an unlikely but possible scenario. Suppose the market crashes. What does an ETF shareholder really own? Legally the shareholder owns a tracking index.Can one cash that in any where? If a mutual fund crashes the shareholders own the residual shares in the fund.Those are actual deeds to real companies.

Amazon: Just Keeps Rolling

Mixing rivers is almost as bad as mixing metaphors but Paul Robeson's words about the Mississippi sung in "Ole Man River" from the 1936 musical "Show Boat" are in this instance appropriate. Amazon .com 's namesake the river is also just "...rollin' along..".This morning it electronically cyber inked a deal with the legendary but disappearing Sears. Sears once offered mail order brides in the 19th century along with coffins with lids among many other gadgets etc.Today Amazon founder and CEO Busy Bee J. Bezos agreed to sell Sear's brand Kenmore on the Amazon website.This offering expands the list of goods and services available to shoppers every where.Recently Amazon purchased Whole Foods . This moved the Big A into organics. Heretofore Amazon mostly offered plastic composition products.I wondered about Bezos' choice of Amazon as a company name. I wonder no more. Amazon some what like the South American River is delivering plastic and now organics in mind numbing cubical steady volumes in card board packages. But unlike the River that brings life to its thousand mile shores the Company brings mostly plastic. I think of the square miles of plastic floating islands in the oceans.Could we be in the silly part of the always unfolding tech world?

BlackRock: Short The Bubble Stock

Yesterday BlackRock reported second quarter earnings that narrowly missed estimates. BlackRock is the largest money manger.It has $ 5.6 trillion under management.They are now experiencing a kind of being of victim of their own success syndrome. ETF's a.k.a. known as exchange traded funds are getting a bigger share of new inflows by eager stock market investors. Problem is that ETF's have much lower management fee. Hence the shortfall in earnings. Hence the squeeze in profitability. Chairman and President of BlackRock Larry Fink simultaneously with the earnings miss release announced his firm would switch to more use of artificial intelligence when picking stocks.Larry praised AI. But he also stated that the headcount at BlackRock would be the same next year as it is today.In other words AI's supposed market expertise is secondary. Lopping heads is the real reason so to combat profit squeeze.Actually AI is more expensive than monkeys throwing darts at a stock page which has been proven to be a better performer than pros picking stocks.In 1973 Princeton University professor Burton Malkiel wrote " Random Walk Down Wall Street" . In the book Malkiel states " A blind folded monkey throwing darts at a financial newspapers stock page could select a portfolio that would do just as well as one carefully selected by experts."Actually the underlying metaphysics of that result was the fact that there were more smaller capitalization stocks on the page than large ones. Consequently the smaller stocks would probably do better over the long run. Bottom line is that BlackRock is an expensive stock. It's market cap is six times sales. It also trades at 2.50 times its book value. It yields 2.50 percent. But its stock trades at $423.00 per share. So a 3% loss on the stock rubs out the dividend return but what's going to happen to the 420.00 left over? I'm short BlackRock. It's the perfect bubble stock in a bubble market.

Federal Reserve Janet Yellen: Background & Prospects

Somewhere in Manhattan there is a Kosher deli that once employed Janet Yellen. She was hired on the spot for the top job at the Federal Reserve. She left so quickly that her umbrella is still there on the hook. In a better world, hopefully soon,Janet will be back at the deli almost indistinguishable from the dill pickles.The story goes that Baron Rothschild was in the deli ordering a pastrami and cheese on rye and was bemused with Janet popping her "P's" when she spoke.The baron thought two things.One if Yellen were Fed Chair it would be a potent example of the Jewish aristocracy pissing on what's left of our shabby culture . And two she would definitely make the baron look better in comparison.

Why Does American Media Dislike Putin & Russia ?

Why does the U.S. media gratuitously disparage Vladimir Putin and by extension Russia? There are 189 countries in the United Nations. Our media can alternate pro or con on 188 but when it comes to Russia it becomes a unanimous media that Russia is evil. What philosophy or political belief in the media so skews the media to lock step its neyt in harmony to Russian policies? Some might say our recent election carries the narrative that Russia interfered in favor of Trump and contra Clinton.So that's a good reason to thumb down Russia.But our media's dislike of Putin and Russia predated the recent presidential election.Russia could be and should should be America's ally. Between us approximately 26,000 nuclear war heads are in silos or on subs or guess where.We don't need an enemy with as much fire power as we have. On the contrary we would be natural stabilizers of the planet at the best possible scenario. I have a speculation. I think the media doesn't like Putin's policies towards the LBBTQ acronym. And that's enough red meat for the progressives in the media to steer our foreign policy in the direction of more tolerance for the LGBTQ at the expense of sounder foreign policy alliances.Bad trade off.

Afghanistan & Posturing Generals

Yesterday the media had stories about 4000 U.S. troops going to Afghanistan. The Associated Press was one of the news vendors publishing the possibility. Mad Magazine did not carry the story. Mad does original comedy and does not write about naturally occurring comedy in our foreign policy missteps. After all we have been fighting and losing in Afghanistan for over 16 years.Our Secretary of Defense and retired four star Marine General James "Mad Dog " Mattis talked about the American surge recently in Congressional testimony. The Mad Dog nickname could be a clue in future on how to deal humanely with career bred killers. Mattis looks to me as a classic posturing general with enough scrap medal on his chest to keep a homeless scavenger in fixings for a day.Ever hear of a general losing his life in combat?Any generals die from nerve gas, nuclear blasts, Agent Orange part of collateral damage due to cruise missile attacks into an urban area, friendly fire---boy if there was ever a euphemism of Homeric proportions-- or other ways of dying or losing parts or use of ones body that are too many to list here? I certainly have not. The generals move avatars around on a graphics screen coming up with sure fire plans on tactical moves that will prevail over the enemy.The generals are not on the ground with nothing between their body and mortality against an Afghani who just wants to hold on to what little he or she has in life. The strutting generals claim to be bound and committed to duty that protects us here in America.Sixteen years later we lose soldiers, equipment and treasure as a daily occurrence. So the generals are not doing their avowed duty. If they were dong their duty some would die. But the generals are probably teeing up a Titleist rather aiming at a Taliban.If you want war fight in the war.The generals and the politicians are not stepping up. I suggest NO WAR WITHOUT A NATIONAL REFERENDUM. Send the war mongers to the golf course permanently.

Bitcoin, Ethereum & Federal Reserve

Cryptocurrencies Bitcoin and Ethereum are up 280% since the beginning of this year.As of today approximately $49 billion of Bitcoin and $36 billion of Ether are the outstanding valuations.Those figures are dwarfed by the approximately $ 4 trillion amount outstanding of the worlds currencies. That would be the folding stuff in our pockets. But my folding stuff is not up 5000% since the start of 2017.My twenties and tens are still at face value but a little more wrinkled. So going forward should crypto currency be included in my wallet? I can have leisure in making a decision. But one person is thinking harder about what crypto currency might do to her job. That would be Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen. She 's determined not to go back to that kosher deli in Manhattan. She and the whole house of cards that support human civilization through the tool money is being threatened.Right now crypto currency makes up about 2% of the traditional currencies issued by the Fed, Japan, Eurozone, China et all. Small? Yes. But that 2% didn't exist 6 months ago. Crpto didn't move the needle.What's the Fed going to if anything about the upstart? I would think that Yellen has to make the dollar a better store of value. To that purpose interest rates will have to go up probably more than people expect. Also the Fed has to shrink the balance sheet. At the moment the balance sheet is at $ 4 trillion.Number coincidence with current world wide outstanding paper? That will definitely get rates higher.According to a news blurb last night on the Nightly Business Report the Fed has moved up the start its balance sheet shrinking to September 2017. That's a ninth month speed up.Bitcoin and Ether are once in a lifetime or many lifetimes game changer.Fiat money as per central banks game plan has finally met its match. The complacency of gold and investor sentiment and volatility can be somewhat better understood by judging the performance of cryptocurrencies and concluding that chaos might be around the corner and its foil may be Bitcoin and Ether. Here's a question. All the debt in the world is based on central bank currencies. So how will those obligations be met?

Terrorist Versus Terrorist

Funny thing happened to America's narrative about the Middle East. Today Tehran's parliament was attacked by ISIS operatives. A suicide bomber and other operatives killed twelve so far and many others wounded.This some few days after Salesman Trump inks a hundred billion arms dealers to the largest single owners of a fleet of Bentleys on the planet. Cant have bomb created pot holes to spoil the ride to the airport for a flight to London where the white women are with bottles of the bubbly.What's the tie in? The arms where largely to protect Saudi Arabia from the Iranians. According to the United States and its poodle Israel or is it the other way around If we could just get rid of the ayatollahs in Iran peace would come to the Middle East.But who is sponsoring ISIS? Certainly Iran didn't orchestrate todays carnage in Tehran as a red herring to debunk the American narrative.So now what coach? General Mad Dog Mattis as Secretary of Defense maybe is thinking of surgical Tomahawk surgical attack on Iranian Parliament building to kill any left over terrorist? God. He maybe is thinking we got to get into this. Or we will miss out like we did in Syria.Also it obviates a reason for supporting Israel against Iran. Which kicks out another Israeli reason/lie for slow motion genocide of Palestinians.Gee. Is there any player in this cluster fuck of belligerent group of spoiled brats you can sympathize? So maybe the weapons we sell or lose that end up in the hands of the Saudis, Israel, ISIS, Afghanis, Syrians ad nauseam are in the proper place.If we really don't like any of the players then let them get rid of each other.

Money And Power Has Its Limits

In 193 A.D. Didius Julianus out bid the former emperors family and bought the position of Caesar from the Praetorian Guard .Pertanix was the former Emperor who wanted a strong fiscal policy and hard currency. The Praetorian Guard killed Pertanix because citizens didn't want belt tightening.Didius Julianus offered more money to every member of the Praetorian guard and so was proclaimed Emperor. He promptly devalued the Roman currency to pre Pertanix values.Fiat currency versus hard currency was the issue. But the Praetorian Guard who were paid in hard currency were insulted by the immediate devaluation by Didius Julianus.So the Praetorian Guard immediately kills Didius Julianus in spite. DJ ruled for three months. So here we all our some two thousand years later still dealing with the outcome of fiat money and debt and the impact on citizens of Rome and for that matter the greater empire.Takeaway? It's always about money. No matter what any one says.Also the military runs the political show.One thing to look forward to is the greed and arrogance eventually consumes the politicians and the military to the point they start killing each other. Now I can't wait for that. P.S. The military will win in the run. As recounted above the armed forces allow the politicians to make policy but the real policy is pay the armed forces and they will let the politicians go through the motions of having power...until the money runs out.

Single Payer Health Insurance : False Hope

June 1 2017 saw California's senate vote and pass a single payer health insurance.The phrase "single payer "comes from the same central casting dialogue that spoke of " philosopher king" or "great white hope " or "god" or " some one completely trustworthy " or " totally unselfish " or " surgical accuracy missile attacks" or " every one is equal "etc. You get the idea. Problem with a single payer comprehensive health insurance scheme is that all people will get somewhat simultaneously ill either physically or monetarily when one gets ill.Truly it will make every sickness or disease or cough or runny nose a pandemic. The single payer health law constructively gives civil rights to bacteria. Cant talk about prevention because its the right of everyone to be cared for no matter what preventable disease people contract and or invite.
