Gold Climbs as Trump's Mexico Tariffs Shows 'No Country Is Safe' (Kts/Dreamstime) Friday, 31 May 2019 08:19 AM Gold is finally seeing some bullish momentum as trade ructions escalate, fueling the biggest rally among the top miners in seven months. President Donald Trump’s plan to impose a 5% tariff on all Mexican goods over illegal immigration rattled financial markets, boosting the haven appeal of the metal that has been weighed down by the strong dollar. China’s threat to blacklist foreign firms it accuses of damaging its interest also added to the global uncertainty that’s strengthening the case for owning bullion as a store of value. Global equities ...

"Next the statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting the blame upon the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception." -- Mark Twain, The Mysterious Stranger

France has been turning up the heat on journalists who expose government wrongdoing, according to AFP. The latest, Le Monde journalist Ariane Chemin, said was questioned by French security services for 45 minutes after she refused to reveal her sources for a report exposing alleged corruption and cronyism within President Emmanuel Macron's inner circle.

Washington’s Mighty Warriors: Draft Dodgers and Scoundrels

Remember Shakespeare’s line “he jests at scars that never felt a wound?” That epithet could have been written with National Security Advisor John Bolton in mind. Bolton was notoriously a draft dodger during the Vietnam War, like his current boss, not due to any scruples regarding what was occurring, but out of concern for his own sorry ass. He is now credibly believed to be the driving force behind the punishment being meted out to Venezuela and, far more dangerously, of the creeping escalation that is taking place in the Middle East that is seeking to draw Iran into a misstep that would lead to war. Bolton, who has received the “Defender of Israel” award, has ...

On May 28 I wrote that “the Western world is collapsing so rapidly that I am afraid that I am going to outlive it”. My article was about the rising demonization of white people that is producing a collapse in their confidence. Inculcated guilt is making whites willing to accept discrimination against them in order to elevate Arab, African, and Hispanic migrants that greedy corporations and witless political leaders have brought into the country. The Identity Politics of the Democratic Party works to the advantage of darker skinned migrants who present themselves as the victims of the white-faced victimizer. Just as Jews discovered the advantage of infecting gentiles ...

The accusations against Iran come only weeks after US mine-laying ships and divers ran drills in the same area that the alleged sabotage incidents took place. ABU DHABI, U.A.E. — On Wednesday, National Security Advisor John Bolton told a group of reporters in Abu Dhabi that “naval mines almost certainly from Iran” had been used to conduct the alleged “sabotage” attack on four commercial vessels off the coast of the United Arab Emirates’ port of Fujairah earlier this month. “There is no doubt in anybody’s mind in Washington who is responsible for this and I think it’s important that the leadership in Iran know that we know,” Bolton ...

Most of Washington’s existing alliances are harmful, expensive commitments with little relevance to American security. Modern circumstances continue to bear out the prescience of America’s founders. Especially George Washington’s warning against “entangling alliances.” In contrast, U.S. policymakers today treat military allies like Facebook friends, the more the merrier, something to brag about. However, most of Washington’s existing alliances are harmful, expensive commitments with little relevance to American security. Indeed, a couple are strikingly dangerous, even risking conflict with nuclear armed powers. A good place to start with an “America ...

Iran sanctions spur Europe and India to devise systems to trade with Tehran without using the U.S. currency The new arrangements won’t change the dollar’s dominance in global trade, but they will diminish the U.S.’s power to impose its policies. U.S. allies, looking to buck American control over international trade, are developing alternate systems that don’t rely on U.S. currency. The catalyst was the Trump administration’s decision last year to reimpose trade sanctions on Iran after pulling out of the 2015 nuclear-weapons deal. The U.K., Germany and France didn’t support the sanctions, which include a ban on dollar transactions with Iranian banks. So they ...

Already, one day after the elections, each party is proposing an interpretation of the results which is in their favour. Any objective reading would be bound to annoy one or the other.

The present analysis is based on the provisional results of Monday 27 May at 10 a.m. GMT. 1— Compared with the results of 2014, voter participation has grown from 43% to 51% Of course, several states had organised other votes for the same day, but this is not sufficient to explain the increase in participation.
