115th Congress Divided

It is still too early to call this Midterm Election, many tight races across the country, recounts are being called upon and many allocations of voter fraud.  What a damn shame that Congress has consumed its self where the country as a whole will fall between the cracks into an abyss of self.  You know the saying, Ah yes, the abyss, Beyond Good and Evil. "He who fights with monsters should be careful lest he thereby becomes a monster.  And if thou gaze long into an abyss, the abyss will also gaze into thee."

Martin Armstrong had this to say about the Midterm Elections:  "The one thing that is ABSOLUTELY guaranteed is there will be ZERO cooperation and everything will become even more obstructive now so we can expect the economy to decline going into the 2020 turning point on the ECM. (Economic Confidence Model)  The Democrats have vowed to seek impeachment and they will now have subpoena power to obstruct Trump and this will bring a swift end to Draining the Swamp. (that will be a relief for many, maybe) So expect nothing but obstruction.  Running the government is no longer a priority. This is just going to be a grudge match from here on out and that is what the model has been projecting." (end Martin)

John Stuart Mill a British philosopher, political economist, and civil servant: "Suppose that all your objects in life were realized; that all the changes in institutions and opinions which you are looking forward to, could be completely effected at this very instant. Would this be a great joy and happiness to you?  Happiness was to have been found in the continual pursuit of this end."  (end Mill)

Man alive, U.S. history is really being baked into this Frankenstein!

Thanks Jo, this is spot on for our times.

 

CIA Gets Trolled on 71st Birthday

CIA - Celebrating 71st Birthday:

Let's see how this trolls on Twitter!

 

Invation Live

Manufactured invasion of migrants from Africa are recorded live storming the beach like the Omaha beach landing in Normandy during WWII.  As shocked tourist at La Barrosa beach in Cádiz, Spain watch the invaders run for the cliffs in the video below.

The thing to be concerned about is no medical screening is being administered to the newly arriving passengers. The Democratic Republic of the Congo confirmed that a new outbreak of Ebola has killed 17 people.  On any other occasion, it’s interesting to notice that the 'Open Arms' and 'Aquarius' boats have medical staff wearing Hazmat clothing on to presumably check the illegal aliens for exotic diseases before allowing them to reach Spanish soil.

We're witnessing how the spin masters manufacture the spread of disease by making society feel sorry for individuals who flea a country from war and\or economic collapse.  This maneuver also has an impact from multi-culture differences that clash on religious beliefs.

This is not migration, this is an invasion by design.  An average of 54 people arrived in Spain by sea each day in the first five months of 2018. That average has since shot up to 220 per day.
    

300-foot Iceberg Passing Through

Recently scientists have watched an iceberg four miles long break off from a glacier calving in (noted above, glacier debris field)  Northwestern Greenland.  An iceberg 300ft high and a third of a mile long is floating in Low-lying areas in the village of Innarsuit Settlement.

Giant Floating Icebergs

The path of these monsters along the northwest coast of Green Land, and another one (bottom left) southwest of the Settlement, very hazardous for shipping lanes.

Relationship in size to the coastline.

Floating Island

The main concern of these icebergs is when they move closer or break apart causing mini Tsunamis!  Not only that but becoming grounded near shore and a storm approaches the area?  All Hell will break loose!

Fly on The Wall by triaxtrooper devanit art

Have you ever said, you would like to be that Fly on the wall during a NATO meeting?  We're at the table for a Bilateral Breakfast with the Secretary-General of NATO, POTUS, and Secretary of State Pompeo sitting Shotgun. 

Associated cabinet members seated are John Francis Kelly, (end of table) White House Chief of Staff and James Norman Mattis aka Mad Dog, (not currently in the pic but name tag on table is noted, bottom right) is the current and 26th United States Secretary of Defense.  Across from the table in conversation with POTUS is Jens Stoltenberg, (end person top left) is a Norwegian politician serving as the 13th Secretary General of NATO.

Other members not present will be briefed.

That Face People Make When You Realize

Armstrong Economics: 
Perhaps the most interesting observation of how Trump handles negotiations is that he approaches them as a businessman rather than a politician.

E-Commerce Going to Bleed?

SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES (SCOTUS) Decided June 21, 2018, to overturn Quill Corp. v. North Dakota, 504 U.S. 298 (1992). The State may not require a business that has no physical presence in the State to collect its sales tax. This was left to the consumer to comply with the State of said sales tax. Ah, that has not gone well on State tax returns where you check the box asking did you purchase out of State goods? Most checked the NO Box.

So, E-Commerce business will have to calculate all State Taxes of online sales because the customer failed to do so.  The Supreme Court will always side with the Government even though the ruling was close 5-4 but I have to say Retail Brick and Mortar have been in a death spiral because of no sales tax when purchasing online.  Remember in the Clinton era in 1995 the dot-com revelation took-off like a Saturn rocket which made the internet grow, it was done on purpose for that reason to grow the economy.  But what happened to neighborhood stores since then?

Yeah, they are fading away because it's easy to shop online.  BestBuy would complain about customers who walked through the store to see and feel the products available then go buy it on Amazon.  But a store owner brings many jobs and commerce to your neighborhood.

Brick and Mortar can't compete with a giant who purchases in huge volume and these guys who pick your item for you have to piss in a bottle because management writes them up for being away from the job because the walk to the bathroom is too far!  Nice atmosphere, I don't think girls are on the floor because they would have to use a cup and need a tissue.  Bezos should place Porta Potties or how about a damn bike.  We also hear you get 15 to 20min lunch by the time you get to the canteen.  Would be better to bring a lunch.  Good idea to think about how another person is treated.  It's easy to say it isn't you but that changes when no one cares for you.

Brick and Mortar are celebrating with the ruling and E-Commerce business not so much where Amazon's stock is taking a hit along with others but the market has been sailing south lately anyway.  Good time to short the stocks.

Martin Armstrong came out today and totally blasted the Supreme Court ruling.  And Retail Dive has a great article posted in April before this all hit.

You know something?  Shopping the Mall is fun some stores have hot popcorn for free, the smell of new products, you get to try on new shoes, clothes so you get the right size and yeah lady, that dress looks great on you!

So with the trade wars going on where I wish business could have gotten a heads up for time to tool up and make some adjustments before pulling the plug!  If your car parts are too expensive there's always the junkyard. E-Commerce is going to have to adjust for all State sale taxes where you'll need new accounting software and other help where this market is going to bleed a bit.

The bright side in the meantime is shorting stocks, (timing is everything) Put Options.  The market is over-leveraged anyway where the Fed will raise rates and the banks are failing from global stress associated with bad paper exploding debt.  One cure is to buy back your stock.  Ah, that's not growth.  States need more taxes or the pensioners will snap if the money isn't there!  Something no fund manager has ever suggested if you want to make money in the market, invest in evil.  But many have a conscience where profit is disturbing, for example, Fetal parts and\or organ trafficking.  This pressure is relieved when you short the stock you are not profiting from gains you're profiting from a downfall.  You're just applying a rule to capitalism, profiting from others' misfortune where misery is a business model.  I see Red! 
         

History - Trump and Kim Summit

The Ship made the call back in Feb 28th, 2013.  'For the Love of the Game' and the ice breaker was?  Dennis Robman. Who took a lot of flack and to hear him in the interview with CNN, Dennis mentioned Obama wanted nothing to do with him.

Dennis was one on one with Kim and helped move the world in a direction no politician wanted to steer.  Keep that Deep State hate machine oiled!  Way to go Worm! (Dennis) you did it Man!

This just came off the court, (2013) Dennis Rodman and Kim Jong Un have just shared a relationship that will last a lifetime and all for the love of the game, basketball. Rodman even mentioned to Kim Jong Un that you have a friend for life.  I don't even want to get into politics at this point but will stress that basketball might have just saved everybody's ass.

Seems to be some pressure off Kim Jong Un, the man looks happy and in good spirit.  Deep State actors are being removed.

The only U.S. president that went the distance is President Trump!  We're on to something ladies and gentlemen and Peace is on the menu.  Looks like the G-6=1 will have to include the rest of the world because we're going to learn to trade responsibly!  The Balance.

It took me 13 years to figure out what we all have in common and we love someone.

CNN anchor asked Dennis (he's in Singapore) what does your hat say?  "MAGA you got it?" Lol, and we'll add to it Dennis, Make North Korea Great, where she'll light up like Singapore at night.

There is going to be no stopping the new unity of this planet.  Thanks Dennis, Donald and Kim!
