What a view! Red waves, red sky’s.
treefrog @ 22:42 – Steam?
We got steam! Even without a hurricane. This IS the tropics. But the correct meteorological term for this is “PyroCumulonimbus”. The vent generates a localized thunderstorm over the village at times that doesn’t move. It just dumps a continuous flash flood for hours.

This is the nightly view from my front yard.

Anymore I don’t either. I think as long as Erdogan is in power it’s going to get worse.

No clue why Turkey is in Nato, no clue who their real allies are or what they hope to achieve in the region.
Sounds like trouble

One thing he didn’t study besides economics was borders and homeland security.
Good thing Europe didn’t get over there first or they’d have boats coming in everyday now.
Trump Admin outlines plan to stop meddling in elections

I love that story. “Repeal the laws of physics” LOL Arrogance and ignorance all wrapped up in one!
Brazil … a miracle no more
According to a study published in June by Brazilian polling agency Datafolh, about 52 percent of the wealthiest Brazilians — those with a monthly income of more than $2,500 — want to emigrate, while 56 percent of college graduates have plans on leaving the country.
“The hope that Brazilians once had in their country has gone out the window, and many people are now reaching the conclusion that things are unlikely to change in the next few years,” said Mr. Menezes Filho.

Its been well known China currency is linked to GOLD…so all Trump has to do to get trade parity with China is link the Dollar to GOLD…When Gold goes up CHINA losses all trade advantage and all this trade renegotiation and TARIFFS …is unnecessary stuff..GET GOLD UP and CHINA losses all currency advantage !NO TARIFFS needed….

That’s a good future prediction. Now should we buy or sell? ?

maya… steam!
hurricanes usually mean lots and lots of rain. add in a volcano and rivers of lava, and you get steam. not likely to have any large or lasting effect on the volcano, but i can see clouds of steam in your future.
Maya – I hope Hector swings a hard right and passes EAST of Hawaii
You’ll get rain but little wind damage that way .
‘Tis the season…
…Hurricane season. Here comes HECTOR. I’m out on the ‘tip of the spear’ in east Hawaii. While this one looks like it will continue past to the south, these are the most dangerous ones. Historically they can hook northward into the islands as they pass. Gotta test out the generator and check the hookup wiring.

Bitcoin Futures Market blows up
I’ve always said that the futures market could not be ‘connected’ to an independent Bitcoin trading system. Some dolts still think they can ‘influence’ the underlying BTC market with large directional bets on the futures exchanges… which are largely unregulated. Not like the ‘tricks’ that they can play on the CME or COMEX. Anyway… one ‘whale’ did a lot of damage on an exchange, and caused the exchange to ‘bail-In’ unrealized profits from other traders to keep the system afloat when the underlying BTC price took a sharp turn. Paper…. it burns….
I think I have the equivalent of about $62 left in my BTC wallet. Don’t ask how many ounces I squeezed out previously.

Right, humanitarianism doesn’t mean you put yourself at a disadvantage or let it enslave you or become your burden. It’s something you consider the cost.
The cost will come in their children. No different than saving food for a drought and handing some beans and rice to someone who didn’t work to prepare themselves s, but giving it all to these marauders while your own children starve. What you don’t give they’ll just take.
That’s what they appear to be aside from some real refugee family’s including Christians being killed. Sure these mauraders will call you every name in the book to do it if it works.
It won’t work with Putin, China, Japan or Trump so they don’t bother trying.
It seems pretty apparent it’s worse than that. There appears to be a agenda of genocide. They want to eliminate the whole race of each country and replace it Africans and Muslims with them leaving only a small minority IF that to run the more complicated things until they can be replaced too. That way like here the left will get their one party leftist votes and cheap labor. This is not humanitarian this is a genocide. They want a dumbed down work force.
Putin will be taking them “Europeans”next then he will just wait it out then invade and take over the new dummed down third world order and expand his empire.

Gold looks pretty interesting. Other than that, the usual last hour smash.
Long gold, short usdx
Looks like the cycle analyst may be onto something. Gold had a reversal up today if it holds and the USDX appears to be reversing down from a strong resistance area.The $1220, gold may be good for a while.
