Thanks for the Macron update. Seems like 90% odds should probably tighten up a bit before the election.

Looks like someone is doing a little fishing in the NEM pond.

Hard to believe we’re getting this reaction with the USD getting pounded.

Sorry to hear that France is going down this road. Perhaps there will be a big surprise as happened in the States. Not counting on it!

If Le Pen somehow does get in, there is still the question of what will happen then. There’s lots of disappointed voters in the US who voted for Trump and are now becoming increasingly disillusioned!

I always appreciate your analysis.

Re Bookies

As I said a Macron win means nothing changes, but in reality get’s far worse, as he is clearly an elite Patsy…he is not even from the vaguely sensible, but all crooks Fillon/Sarkozy side. He is of the left, the same cretins as Hollande, who they already hate, plus he is clearly a Mummy’s boy, as he has married his !!!!!

The mkts/we are being gamed big time, the winners will once gain be the 1 %…who control the Rig….this is dangerous stuff. The French have 2 weeks to decide, do they continue down the same path that has bought nothing but misery, poverty and terror, or do they give Le Pen a chance and at least try and change.

Trump: If The DOJ Wants To Arrest Assange, “It’s OK With Me”

SM’s flying on back of potential Macron Presidency.

Macron is a Socialist, cut from same cloth Hollande is and was even in Hollande’s government. The only diff is that Macron has even less experience than Hollande, but has same lousy ideas…So why does the mkt think everything will be different, it won’t be it will be worse if anything. ergo the mkt is being gamed to trigger MoMo Algo’s.

Most stupid reaction of all……. the Dax, which is up more than all the others, because if Macron wins, the Germans are gonna get the bill, so in reality a Macron win is a nightmare for Germany.

Can they all be stoo-pid? What do they know that we don’t?

“The simulation hypothesis has entered the culture as an explanatory meme. Writing in the New Yorker earlier this year, the critic Adam Gopnik suggested that the Oscar confusion, in which La La Land was wrongly given the best film award meant for Moonlight, the election of Donald Trump, and the improbable late comeback by the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl showed “that we are living in the matrix, and something has gone wrong with the controllers”.

“Goldman Sachs has captured–openly and blatantly–the white house–and a green light has been given to rape, pillage and loot the nation once again…”

That certainly appears to be the case.

As you mentioned, gold cannot be handicapped because there are no reliable metrics. The USD is breaking down, and yet here we are once again.

The article delineated a number of tell-tale signs that indicated Trump was anything but the anti-establishment candidate he was presenting himself to be. I pointed out, for example, how the Trump horse that was being brought into the city gates was filled with neocons and the Wall Street establishment, and how I believed they would come to own Trump if they didn’t already. The Trump horse was brazenly anti-establishment on the outside, but almost total establishment on the inside.

I concluded my intro to the article with this warning:

Be careful that you don’t believe something just because you want to believe it so badly. That is how the citizens of Troy were conquered in the Trojan war. I’d love to have an anti-establishment candidate roll in, too. Sadly, I don’t think I do…. The time to hold Trump to task is now, not after the establishment makeover turns him into their Trojan Trump card, but while they are trying so that they don’t succeed.

And I closed the article by asking,

Is he force or farce?

April has demonstrated that Trump was either a Trojan horse by design or, in the very least, that his establishment makeover is nearly complete. Before he has even finished his first hundred days as president, President Trump has turned 180 degrees on almost every promise Candidate Trump made, and the couple of times Trump has tried to enact his promises, he has failed “bigly.”

Goldman Sachs has captured–openly and blatantly–the white house–and a green light has been given to rape, pillage and loot the nation once again…yes, gold and silver display some resilience…but that is just for “show”–the vermin at the big banks are perfectly happy to allow gold to shuttle about in a 100 buck range…so they can crow about how wonderful the free market is.

It is extremely stirring!! There are a lot of British people down front in the audience–Another song that is beloved in the Netherlands is “You’ll Never Walk Alone”

Party weekend hangover…?

I think we missed it… somewhere out in the desert.  The American Freedom Train rolls thru the California deserts.

Looks bullish currently but if LePen wins hopefully over a socialist be prepared for the Euro to react negatively. Preaching to the choir.

Maya thanks for the pics.

Moggy that was depressing but as far as the cloths line after the way she was treated here after her dad won at so called American stores I can see it as poetic justice.

Don’t date whites because we’re so mad we lost and we can’t blame it on ourselves because we’re perfect and all the other stuff we came up with didn’t work so this week it will be whites but can’t guarantee next week because we might come up with something else like we always do but still don’t date whites Cuz when that fails like the Russia scam well have to blame it on whites again.
Until recently I wasn’t aware that during WW1 German Americans had a real hard time in America and even Wilson was in on it. Some were even harmed. After years of trying to stay out of the war in Europe he did a 360. Every generation its some group ” whole group just not some of them” becomes the bad guy Germans, Jews, Japanese, and many times the bad guy is actually the ones spewing the propaganda. Now they do it with PC. These people can’t even see the forest before the trees.
I remember in some college classes in science or math you’d have teachers openly saying they will weed out the weak. I’m thinking as long as it isn’t a english class who always though science majors write weird. I could never get higher than a B in English even when they used my papers for a example or wanted to publish them then get mad when Id say enjoy the paper amongst you english teachers but don’t have time to edit it to your specifications. They tend to want to mold you into their style of writing instead of helping you expand your own even though they recognize theres different styles.
Another word for anal retentive narcissists in some of them but mostly science and math. Most didn’t have real world experience and hated what they did have if they had to work to get through college to teach even if in the same field their teaching. But as narcissist go they love” captive audiences. ” Not saying all, you can tell pretty quick. Now they let them trade exams and finals for protesting. I guess their getting soft but still narcissist who won’t see anyone’s view but their own. I wonder if the psychologists are having a field day or having to modify their own labeling.

Time for a real Patriot to step forward to save your country. If not Humanity.

Just a co-incidence that after Trump tells Chinese Pres he wont be pressing him about trade anymore ..Ivanka gets access to Chinese Markets to sell her goods …kinda like a double benefit ..China helps some with N.Korea by doing nothing that costs them anything and Ivanka get s access to Hugh Chinese Markets.  So how does trumps voters get better jobs and Higher income from that  ? Chinas buying “American” all right  recycling products made in China and all that comes back is money into Ivankas pocket.   Looks like a conflict of INTEREST and quid pro QUO all in one.!
