Donald Trump, Groper in Chief
NYTimes | Nicholas Kristof | 10/07/16

Jill Harth's first concern with Donald Trump's hands wasn't that they were small. It's that they were everywhere.

Harth and her longtime boyfriend were in meetings with Trump to forge a business partnership. "He was relentless," Harth recalled in an interview, describing how on Dec. 12, 1992, he took the couple to dinner and a club -- and then situated himself beside Harth and ran his hands up her skirt, to her crotch. "I didn't know how to handle it. I would go away from him and say I have to go to the restroom. It was the escape route." ... Read more

Goldman Tells Clients To Go To Cash As "Growth Shocks" Are Coming
ZeroHedge | author | 10/10/16

"In the recent environment of low volatility, and with high valuations across assets, we are inclined to keep cash reserves to take advantage of more attractive entry points in case of shocks. Potential 'growth shocks' continue to loom until year-end as political risks remain elevated, given the upcoming US presidential elections and Italian referendum, and the UK government's plan to trigger Article 50 by March 2017." ...

The Road to Ruin: The Global Elites' Secret Plan for the Next Financial Crisis by James Rickards

A drumbeat is sounding among the global elites. The signs of a coming financial crisis, one exponentially bigger than the last, are unmistakable. This time, the elites have an audacious plan to protect themselves from the fallout: hoarding cash now and locking down the global financial system when a crisis hits.

Deep in the U.S. legal code, our government is granted emergency economic powers. Stock exchanges can be closed, ATMs shut down, money market funds frozen, asset managers instructed not to sell securities, negative interest rates imposed, and cash denied. In fact, FDR took equally drastic action in 1933 by closing banks and confiscating gold.

The global elites know that a crisis of even greater proportions is coming and that collaboration is the only way to survive. Since 2014, international monetary agencies have been issuing warnings to a small group of finance ministers, sovereign wealth funds, banks, and private equity funds in technical jargon that the average investor can't understand. But the message is simple: the supposed incredible comeback of the last eight years is artificial. Our government's cowardly choices not to prosecute J.P. Morgan and its ilk, and to bloat the economy with a $4 trillion injection of easy credit, are driving us headlong toward a cliff.

In preparation, the global elites have been noiselessly hoarding cash and hard assets over the past two years. Even now, legally unorthodox regulations are sliding quietly into place that allow regulatory agencies to freeze all assets with a few keystrokes in a self-proclaimed emergency.

New York Times bestselling author James Rickards sounded the alarm on currency manipulation in Currency Wars and correctly predicted that the Federal Reserve would not raise interest rates for years in The Death of Money. In The New Case for Gold he predicted the rise of negative interest rates. Now, as he shows in this frightening, meticulously researched book, governments around the world have no compunction about conspiring against their citizens. As he writes, "Your money may be like a jewel in a glass case at Cartier; you can see it but not touch it."

The most potent form of protection is to arm yourself with knowledge. If you want to understand the risks ahead and to know how to plan for them, you'll need Rickards's cutting-edge synthesis of behavioral economics, history, and complexity theory. It's a guidebook to thinking smarter, acting faster, and living with the comforting knowledge that your wealth is secure.

The global elites don't want this book to exist. Their plan to herd us like sheep to the slaughter when a global crisis erupts -- and, of course, to maintain their wealth -- works only if we remain complacent and unaware. Thanks to The Road to Ruin, we don't need to be.

The Gilded Rage: A Wild Ride Through Donald Trump's America by Alexander Zaitchik

2016 continues to be the most surreal and unpredictable election year in recent memory and this is due in large part to one Donald J. Trump and the millions of Americans who made him this year's Republican nominee for president. As Trump continues to succeed despite behavior that would cripple any other politician, whether it is questioning the patriotism of the Gold Star Khan family or banishing a baby from one of his press conferences, it is imperative to understand why so many continue to support him. And this is what makes The Gilded Rage so important; it provides insight into the forgotten Americans that continue to befuddle pundits and "experts" on CNN and FOX alike.

This grippingly intimate and heart-breaking book provides a portrait of the walking wounded who make up the base of the Trump movement. Desperate and angry, these are the Americans of the vanishing industrial heartland, depressed Appalachian coal country, and the no-man's land along the Southwestern border. These are coal miners, out of work construction workers, and small business owners, who have watched their fortunes dwindle with each passing year. They have no illusions about the grandstanding billionaire and his glaring flaws. But these men and women feel forgotten and screwed over by political, corporate and media elites...and they feel that Donald Trump, despite his flamboyant demagoguery, might well be their last chance for salvation. Reminiscent of Studs Terkel's Working, with a dash of Hunter S. Thompson, Alexander Zaitchik in this important book takes us deeper into the ravaged soul of America than any other chronicler of our times.

Trump and the Roots of Rage: The Republican Right and the Authoritarian Threat by Kevin O'Leary

"If you want to understand the deeper menace of Trumpism, read this book. Kevin O'Leary tells this complex and alarming story brilliantly. -- Robert Kuttner, co-editor of The American Prospect.

The United States is entering the final stretch of a presidential campaign like no other. Donald Trump is the focus of our attention, but his success is only a symptom of a deeper problem. Seasoned observers and ordinary citizens look at today's Republican Party and wonder: what has happened to American politics and how did we end up with a major party presidential nominee who is a know-nothing, bigoted demagogue? Kevin O'Leary's stunning new book provides answers and a path forward.

"The problem with our politics is not Donald Trump; it is the many who support him. Kevin O'Leary's book explains in great detail and with the clearest of prose, just how this crazy situation came about." -- Alan Wolfe, author of The Future of Liberalism.

Trump and the Roots of Rage explains how and why the United States confronts -- for the first time in its history -- classic reactionary politics. No other book has painted in as bold strokes the deep chasm that exists between America's liberal tradition and the far-right alternative that champions privilege, hierarchy, inequality, and exclusion -- values that violate the promise of American life.

The hard right that has captured the Republican Party is characterized by a hatred of modern liberals -- such as Presidents Franklin Roosevelt, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama -- and a hostility to the core liberal beliefs of the founders. For the right, either racism, bigotry, and male chauvinism are at the forefront (as with Donald Trump) or a hatred of government and love of the market leads (as with Ted Cruz). O'Leary defends liberals and traditional conservatives, such as Bob Dole and George F. Will, while excoriating the right represented by Trump, Cruz, Paul Ryan, and Mitch McConnell.

She joined the massive outflow of migrants from the Middle East and North Africa seeking a safe haven from war, extremist violence and repression. Like many others, Nujeen traveled several thousand miles on her journey to Europe. But Nujeen--who has cerebral palsy--made the journey in a wheelchair. Diane talks with Nujeen Mustafa and veteran foreign correspondent Christina Lamb, who together share Nujeen's story.

Lindsey Graham Mashups

Lindsey Graham

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said the quiet part aloud on why he’s still so close to former President Donald Trump: because we can use him for our goals. "President Trump has gotten people who wouldn't give me or Romney or anybody else the time of day. They believe he is on their side," the senator told the America First Agenda Summit crowd on Tuesday in Washington, D.C.

AI - Artificial Intelligence

AIArtificial intelligence (AI) is intelligence demonstrated by machines, as opposed to the natural intelligence displayed by animals including humans. AI research has been defined as the field of study of intelligent agents, which refers to any system that perceives its environment and takes actions that maximize its chance of achieving its goals.

The term "artificial intelligence" had previously been used to describe machines that mimic and display "human" cognitive skills that are associated with the human mind, such as "learning" and "problem-solving". This definition has since been rejected by major AI researchers who now describe AI in terms of rationality and acting rationally, which does not limit how intelligence can be articulated.

Quantum mechanics | AI - Artificial Intelligence

Quantum mechanics

Quantum mechanics is a fundamental theory in physics that provides a description of the physical properties of nature at the scale of atoms and subatomic particles. It is the foundation of all quantum physics including quantum chemistry, quantum field theory, quantum technology, and quantum information science.
Classical physics, the collection of theories that existed before the advent of quantum mechanics, describes many aspects of nature at an ordinary (macroscopic) scale, but is not sufficient for describing them at small (atomic and subatomic) scales. Most theories in classical physics can be derived from quantum mechanics as an approximation valid at large (macroscopic) scale.

Wall Street and Banksters

Wall Street is an eight-block-long street running roughly northwest to southeast from Broadway to South Street, at the East River, in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan in New York City. Over time, the term has become a metonym for the financial markets of the United States as a whole, the American financial services industry (even if financial firms are not physically located there), or New York-based financial interests.

Nuclear weapons have come a long way and come in all types of different sizes. Some are relatively small while others are enormous, so big they boggle the mind at what they can be capable of, i.e. the Soviet 'Tsar Bomba' is/was 3,000 times greater than the Hiroshima bomb.

China Valley of Tunnels

China Valley of Tunnels

A report written by a Georgetown University team led by Phillip Karber conducted a three-year study to map out China’s complex tunnel system, which stretches 5,000 km (3,000 miles). The report determined that the stated Chinese nuclear arsenal is understated and as many as 3,000 nuclear warheads may be stored in the underground tunnel network.

911

911

On September 11, 2001, 19 terrorists attacked the Unites States. They hijacked four airplanes in mid-flight. The terrorists flew two of the planes into two skyscrapers at the World Trade Center in New York City. The impact caused the buildings to catch fire and collapse. Another plane destroyed part of the Pentagon (the U.S. military headquarters) in Arlington, Virginia. The fourth plane crashed in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Officials believe that the terrorists on that plane intended to destroy either the White House or the U.S. Capitol. Passengers on the plane fought the terrorists and prevented them from reaching their goal. In all, nearly 3,000 people were killed in the 9/11 attacks.

Ten years in the making, the series includes rarely seen and digitally re-mastered archival footage from sources around the globe, photographs taken by some of the most celebrated photojournalists of the 20th Century, historic television broadcasts, evocative home movies, and secret audio recordings from inside the Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon administrations.
