This has been a very important issue for you that you've kept yourself (and us) informed about constantly. But you (and pretty much everyone else in the pundit media) has overlooked something far more telling and important this week that came across my radar.

Russia dumped US Treasurys ahead of Trump summit

That's literally only the half of it. Russia has dumped nearly ALL of its US bonds in just the last 2 months.


Something is up. Maybe I have read a bit too much about the financial industry prior to WWI but when countries begin divesting their bond holdings nothing good comes of it.

I would suggest that Russia is trying to avoid having a problem much more so than positioning to create one. And it has not exactly set their currency or bourse on fire.

It would be interesting to know what they swapped in to, though.

Gold is the rumor.

could be anticipation of more sanctions but worth keepin an eye on how sure are you of the accuracy of the info?

Never mind

I read about it first and in more depth on zerohedge but made sure to validate it from multiple sources. That was the gist as well; it is sanction related. Speculation is that following the launch of the new Yuan denominated oil futures Russia is repositioning itself more in line with China. Out of the things that Trump has done so far I have to say that pushing our enemies/adversaries/competitors together is not good.

Well Trump said he wanted to change the world order...Guess he has forgot all about that America first crap by now.

Alright America, lets take stock of the situation:

Our President failed to hold Putin accountable for attacking our elections.

The evidence of this attack is irrefutable, a woman sits in jail for having given us part of it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reality_Winner#Intelligence_report_leak_and_arrest

Our President's own intelligence community clearly says Russia has attacked, and continues to attack, us.

So, the question is when "your side" loses are you going to accept the results of an election you know from the start was open to foreign interference?

But there is more to this problem. Our president may be compromised by Russia, but surely we have other branches of government that we can turn to?

Congress has knocked down repeated attempts to secure the elections today. They have knocked down attempts to stop the president from handing American citizens over to Russian intelligence. A Russian spy has been found to have infiltrated the NRA, and congress refused to have her testify in front of them because it might damage the image of the NRA. Not to mention this woman has been sleeping with a high level Republican political operative, got to ask Trump a question he has prepared remarks for, and it seems odd no one would want to ask this woman any questions? Maybe it's because it leads back to them as well. They don't want us to know what Trump and Putin agreed to, and have blocked us from talking to the translator today as well.

The Supreme Court recently had the retirement of Justice Kennedy announced... right when it was announced his own son, Justin Kennedy was the loan officer that gave Trump a billion dollars at the Russian connected Duetchbank.

So, that's the Executive, the Legislative, Supreme Court all fucked by the same issue... and our one supposed recourse, an election, has a built in reason to reject the results of.

Lets start talking about this?

Justin Kennedy was the loan officer that gave Trump a billion dollars at the Russian connected Duetchbank.

This has been one of the riddles i haven't been able to figure out. Somebody had to cosign for that loan. Trump had screwed every bank he has done business with including Duetchbank. He was dead broke in over his head in debt. No bank in their right mind would have loaned him a nickle.

Still don't know the story but this is the part of the Mueller investigation I want to hear about the most. This is how Trump became a puppet. This is going to connect a lot of Oligarchs and a lot of dirty deals.

Somebody is lying

In Helsinki, @POTUS agreed to ongoing working level dialogue between the two security council staffs. President Trump asked @Ambjohnbolton to invite President Putin to Washington in the fall and those discussions are already underway.

Ex-CIA Official Michael Scheuer Calls For Killing of Trump’s Political and Media Opponents

webcache of since-deleted post by Scheuer

RT...well not hard to tell where your loyalties lie

Rachel Maddow has signaled the Left to start a coup that will result in the Trumps being dragged out of the White House and decapitated on the lawn:

RWW News: Rick Wiles Says We're 72 Hours Away From A Coup In Which Trump Will Be Decapitated


This is what people not watching the "enemy of the people" "fake news" are instead watching.

OMG... the queers are going to start a revolution...thank you I needed some comic relief.

Meanwhile, Michael Scheuer, the former senior CIA official and NYT bestselling author of Imperial Hubris, calls for Trump supporters to kill Trump opponents

This all starting to unspool very quickly now.

Senate decided in 3 mins to rebuke Trump

Line of the day...

The snake eats its tail.

New dots connect Butina (NRA SPY) case to K.T. McFarland and Mike Flynn. I seems Butina's roommate recommended McFarland for AG she got the assistant to Flynn job, before lying to congress about you guessed it Russia.

K.T. McFarland and Mike Flynn

Try being just one asshole at at time one of you is quite enough....hey Steele why do you blatantly allow people more than one account?

Hey bbqkink, if you're going to feed them anyway, what does it matter?

I confront bullshit when I see it. I don't get you all...ignoring something evil is not going to make it go away...Don't talk about Trump like he's lord Voldemort..how did that work?
Don't confront Trolls with the truth...pretty sure that's not going to work either seeing as how it has never worked on any forum....Didn't turn out to well for harry Potter either.

But now letting propagandist assume identities to avoid the system...well I think that might have more of an effect.

You don't get a lot of things, dude. You don't get the overton window ( the irony being that you're the only one who's ever made a post about it on this site), you don't get how your specific presentation of Trump's bullshit helps Trump spread his message, you don't get how arguing with trolls gives them more exposure to people who will agree with them, and apparently you still don't get how the karma system works.

But, lets focus on one thing, shall we? Since you think you're the one who gets everything, why don't you tell me how he's avoiding the system (which he's not) and thus is having more of an effect.

Because here's what I think; As long as we all know the numbers accounts is numbers*, the only way he could be having more of an effect is if you think the karma system he's avoiding would be limiting him from participating in the comments, which it doesn't. (Yet. The future's an open book.) But it would be very weird that you would think that since you replying to him is encouraging him to participate anyway. That's what feeding the fucking trolls means, after all.



*If you'd like to posit that multiple accounts give the illusion of the popularity of his propaganda, I would be willing to acquiesce to that, but that still would be another reason not to fucking feed him and others.

Damn same ID two times in a row.
