Exactly six months ago, when oil bulls still held on to some fleeting hope that OPEC may somehow stabilize the crash in oil prices despite the shift in marginal oil production from low-cost OPEC producers to US shale (a hope which is now gone as the just disclosed letter from Andy Hall demonstrates), Goldman noticed something troubling: an unprecedented collapse in gasoline demand. As the firm's energy analyst Damien Courvalin said on February 8, when discussing the 6% fall in US gasoline demand, such a plunge "would require a US recession" and add that "implied demand data points to US gasoline demand in January declining 460 kb/d or 5.2% year-on-year. In the absence of ...

This is a 40 second video with no talking. It compares Obama and Putin to Trump and Putin. Do you still think they accomplished nothing apart from a ceasefire in Southwest Syria?

A Tale Of Two Gold Markets
Post Date: 2017-07-08 13:31:32 by Horse

In the early morning hours of Monday, June 26, gold fell about 1%, from $1,254 per ounce to $1,242 per ounce, in a matter of seconds. And that the equivalent of 1.8 million ounces of gold were sold at once. The 1.8 million ounce amount is equivalent to about 59 metric tons of gold. That’s about 2% of the entire gold mining production of the world for a full year. No one sells that amount of physical gold. Besides, mining output is almost 100% pre-sold these days, meaning that if you wanted to buy that much gold directly from a mine, you couldn’t do it, because it’s already committed to fulfill existing contracts. The largest gold mining country in the world, China, ...
The First Putin-Trump Meeting Yields…Something Very Close to Nothing

First, we have the manner in which the Americans have been preparing the G20 summit. As we all know, in diplomacy actions count as much, or even more, than words. Here are just a few of the actions recently taken by the Americans in preparation for the G20 summit and Trump’s first meeting with Putin (in no particular order): The US rejected the joint Russian-Chinese plan to defuse the crisis over the Korean Peninsula even though that plan was simple, straightforward common sense and, frankly, the only game in town to avoid war. The US accused the Syrian government of preparing a chemical attack and warned of a “heavy price to pay”. The US sent its bomber to overfly the ...

US Air Force just flew B-1 bombers, which fired releasing inert weapons, over the Pilsung Range in North Korea. The mission took 10 hours, according to the statement. I was not expecting to wake up to this news, but I knew something was going on as planes flew over my home last night in an unusual thunderous noise. The two B-1 bombers flew 2,000 miles from Anderson Air Force Base in Guam to conduct a precision strike training exercise with South Korean fighter jets. The bombers were also joined by Japanese fighters during their flight. These missions are called “Jungle Lightening” by the Air Force. The mission was called a “demonstration of the ironclad U.S. commitment to ...
Poland to Waste Money on Useless Patriot SAM System: No Chance Against Russia’s Iskander

US President Donald Trump’s visit to Warsaw will be remembered as the first stop on his second foreign trip used to showcase commitment to NATO and promote the shipments of American liquefied natural gas (LNG) to make Poland a hub for supplies entering Eastern Europe from overseas. It was also announced with great pomp that the parties had signed a memorandum to sell Patriot air and missile defense systems. This is a deal worth up to $7.6 billion with US firm Raytheon to buy eight Patriots by the end of the current year. The first deliveries of the missile interceptors may take place within two years. The agreement is central to the Polish plans to implement a program of modernizing ...
Trump Goes Full Bush the Lesser in Poland

Not very encouraging Trump’s speech in Poland on Thursday outlined just how far we are from any kind of rapprochement with Russia. This was a speech that could have been delivered by any number of former presidents, all of whom Putin had high hopes for changing the policy of the U.S. But, that’s not on the table. This speech which asks the question, “whether the West has the will to survive?” Because juxtaposed with this existential view of history is Trump’s ham-fisted call for Russia “to join the community of responsible nations in our fight against common enemies and in defense of civilization itself.” Silly me—I thought Russia has been ...

“I have some pretty severe things we’re thinking about,” Trump said of North Korea at a news conference in Warsaw. “Doesn’t mean we’re going to do them.” What President Trump really meant is that he has painted the US into a corner with all his threats of war and really does not know what to do next. North Korea called his ‘or else’ bluff. Good. No action on North Korea is better than any conceivable military operation. Last week the North Korea test fired a new, longer-ranged strategic missile, Hwasong-14, that US experts claimed was capable of hitting Alaska and perhaps even San Francisco. North Korea is now believed to have mastered a ...
Global Nuclear Weapons Ban Approved in 122-1 Vote

Nuclear Powers All Boycott Meeting In a decisive 122-1 vote at the United Nations, a global ban on nuclear weapons was approved,a massively important step toward disarmament made somewhat less impactful by all the current nuclear-armed states boycotting the meetings. Which doesn’t mean there weren’t major powers signing the deal. Brazil was a noteworthy signatory, and both Iran and Saudi Arabia signed on the dotted line, along with Egypt, which appears to dramatically reduce the risk of a nuclear arms race in the Middle East. The sole dissenting vote was also the sole NATO member to even attend the meetings, the Netherlands. They’ve hosted US nuclear arms in the past, and ...

RT... The US Congress has directed intelligence agencies and the Pentagon’s Strategic Command to evaluate the ‘survivability’ of Russian and Chinese leaders in the event of a nuclear strike on their above-ground and underground defense facilities. The comprehensive study will be carried out by the US intelligence agencies as well as the Strategic Command, which is in charge of the American nuclear forces. They will evaluate whether the Russian and Chinese leadership could survive a nuclear attack and continue to operate in a post-strike environment, according to a little-reported section of the 2017 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).

At G-20, world aligns against Trump policies ranging from free trade to climate change Michael Birnbaum and Damien Paletta, The Washington Post Published 10:50 am, Friday, July 7, 2017 HAMBURG, Germany - The growing international isolation of the United States under President Trump was starkly apparent Friday as the leaders of major world economies mounted a near-united opposition front against Washington on issues ranging from climate to free trade. At a gathering of the Group of 20 world economic powers - normally a venue for drab displays of international comity - there were tough clashes with the United States and even talk of a possible transatlantic trade war. The tensions ...

The backdrops to the Putin/Trump meeting are the aspirations of Israel and the neoconservatives. It is these aspirations that drive US foreign policy. What is Syria about? Why is Washington so focused on overthrowing the elected president of Syria? What explains the sudden 21st century appearance of “the Muslim threat”? How is Washington’s preoccupation with “the Muslim threat” consistent with Washington’s wars against Saddam Hussein, Gaddafi, and Assad, leaders who suppressed jihadism? What explains the sudden appearance of “the Russian threat” which has been hyped into dangerous Russophobia without any basis in fact? The Muslim threat, the ...

Indian hegemonism is on the march India’s ultra-nationalist government under Prime Minister Nahendra Modi is engaged in an aggressive face-off with China that could end in a large-scale military conflict. Although the strip of land, called Donglang, that is at the center of the dispute has long been acknowledged as Chinese territory under an 1890 agreement between China and Great Britain, the Indian authorities are trying to block a road-building project initiated by the Chinese in the region. In June, Indian troops crossed the border into Donglang and confronted the Chinese, and the stand-off continues. New Delhi claims that the road, if constructed, would give the Chinese the ...

Speaking to RT, former London Mayor Ken Livingstone has suggested that the world would be a better place if it were run not by governments, which are detached from their citizens, but by city authorities who know the real needs of their people. As world leaders gather for the G20 summit in Hamburg, Germany, Livingstone said that governments are not always effective when it comes to tackling people’s problems. “I’m almost beginning to think that it’s time to abolish governments and just let the world be run by large cities,” Livingstone told RT on the sidelines of the Moscow Urban Forum, which provides a platform for international discussion on the development ...

Moments After Trump Arrived In Germany, Angela Merkel Gave Him Something NOBODY Saw Coming By Danny Gold - July 6, 2017 Considering all the animosity between Donald Trump and Angela Merkel, people across the world were expecting to see sparks FLYING when they met in Germany this week.

He was met there by German Chancellor Merkel and a VERY unexpected gift… Y’all may or may not remember the first meeting between Trump and Merkel where the MSM made a HUGE deal out of their lack of a handshake on meeting. Of course, they didn’t care one bit ...

RI... Since the start of the war in east Ukraine up to 1,000 Ukrainian soldiers, veterans and draftees have killed themselves. This is a staggering number considering that by official figures in the entire war 2,275 Ukrainian soldiers were killed in action.

As cited by Interior Minister Avakov in a recent article the Ukrainian Military Prosecutor's office has documented 500 suicides of veterans who had returned from the war in Donbass on Kiev's side. In addition to that, according to official data 259 soldiers committed suicide on active duty from the start of the ...

Volcanologists are warning over the destructive power of the Phlegraean Fields, also known as Campi Flegrei, near to Naples, Italy, as it is showing signs of erupting. The huge volcano - technically an eight-mile wide caldera - which is mostly underwater in the Bay of Naples, is bigger than the nearby Mt Vesuvius – which is responsible for one of the deadliest eruptions in human history when it obliterated the nearby Pompeii in 79AD. The ancient volcano last erupted in 1538 although it was only minor, lasting for eight days. However, its formation some 39,000 years ago saw lava and rocks thrown hundreds of kilometres away in what was the most violent eruption in the past 200,000 ...
