Buy Back Explosion!
I don’t know anybody who was a recipients of Buy Back.
Do you know someone who was?
What did they do with the money?
Is this an “egg toss game” with the brokers being the only winners?
I guess that its time to remember hypocrisy
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypocrisy
American political journalist Michael Gerson says that political hypocrisy is “the conscious use of a mask to fool the public and gain political benefit”.[3]American historian Martin Jay in The Virtues of Mendacity: On Lying in Politics (2012) explores how writers over the centuries have treated hypocrisy, deception, flattery, lying and cheating, slander, false pretenses, living on borrowed glory, masquerading, conventions of concealment, playacting before others and the arts of dissimulation. He assumes that politics is worthwhile, but since it is unavoidably linked to lying and hypocrisy, Jay concludes that lying must not be all that bad.[6]
ALERT!
I attempted to get more info on “… there are plenty Jews in his government …”
The search path that I took cause my computer to seize up, crash. A re-start was required to re-set my computer.
First, I went to
https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-08-03/liberal-hero-chomsky-admits-israeli-intervention-us-elections-overwhelms-anything
In the comment, on p. 7 was a list of jews in the news (wealthy and influential)
Second,
I went to a CNN new report/interview that was about Putin saying that the jews might have been the group involved in interfering with the elections.Then my computer seised up.
I feel like my search initiated a censor program which caused my computer to crash.“… gold standard, a $220,000 price ….”
People would get killed for their gold tooth
Graveyards would get dug up.
… not run afoul of the U.S. military
they (the Saudi), needed to keep a substantial portion of their national accounts in US$, or more technically U.S. Treasury debt, ….The chart above has the US/Saudi oil as the critical mass of trade that allows the US$ reserve. But that isn’t necessarily true today. Today the mass of trade is in goods to and from China. ….
Until the next fraud and next crisis, perhaps in 2058. ….
I think the problems are worst than you point out.
1. the Saudi trade oil for worthless US$
2. the Japanese have been mfg and trading for worthless US$
3. the Chinese are trading their mfg products for worthless US$
4. Trump is trying to poke a stick, (tariffs), into the spokes of the existing trading system
5. Somebody is lying about their military strength (USA, China, Russia) and their ability to ????
6. Your too optimistic that a black swan event will not happen before 2058hehehe …. 🙂 Mental illness of the wealthy …. hehehe 🙂
Now I know why I get the impression that I’m living in a nut house.
The crazies are in charge.Granny and grandpa are going to learn be on guard against an up and coming enemy.
The grand kids are wanting and will not accept getting a NO for their demands.If I ever need to pick a slur/insulting word to call you, then all I need to do is to go read the comment of your articles by the want-to-be survivalist at ZH.
People leave a bad situation.
People try to go to a better situation.Is the situation in Spain better than what they left behind?
Even numbers can be used to mislead you.
Dead is dead. It doesn’t matter if its by WAR or homicide.

… Remember that GDP is C + G + I + (net) Ex
In other words, Consumption + Government Spend + Investment + net Exports (Exports – Imports) = GDP.
All unbacked borrowing by government is, of course, part of “G”<…/em>Print money and it will increase GDP
I’m embarrassed that people are being subjected to such propaganda.

https://www.marketwatch.com/story/facebook-stock-crushed-after-revenue-user-growth-miss-2018-07-25
Facebook stock drops roughly 20%, loses $120 billion in value after warning that revenue growth will take a hit
Nobody is selling at a 20% loss.
There is no loss until you sell.
Buyers can’t find sellers.
How long will it take to regain 20%?“The mainstream media are already captives to the system, lock, stock and barrel. But if Assange can be silenced this way, what are Jim Kunstler, the Automatic Earth and Zero Hedge going to do? Are we all going to shut up?”
The problem solvers, for Julian Assange, are Putin and Trump.
… unpayable debts…
Not true!You just add tariff taxes until you get enough revenues to pay off those debts
As demonstrated by the volume of articles, that are not about what Trump did, said or whatever ….
life keeps doing its thing.There is a bully on this planet.
He is 3 times bigger than Russia.The talk is that USA did not act like a bully with Putin

Do you really believe that you and your loved ones will be part of the selected group after the culling?
Only assholes and morons oppose these peace talks. If you want to help steer this ship into the iceberg of nuclear holocaust, then I want you thrown overboard. Get a fucking grip, you raving lunatics. Stop this. Stop this immediately.
I’m listening to the comments after the Trump/Putin meeting.
All that I hear is ….CULLING
The word comes from the Latin colligere, which means “to collect”. The term can be applied broadly to mean sorting a collection into two groups: one that will be kept and one that will be rejected. The cull is the set of items rejected during the selection process. The culling process is repeated until the selected group is of proper size and consistency desired.
Since when have the NON-ELITES refused to do the bidding of the ELITES.

Even though the after life is believed and said to be better than life on earth, everyone is afraid to leave their miserable life.
“…In all, 31 companies announced buybacks in excess of $1 billion during June.
At the same time, investors dumped $23.7 billion in stock market-focused funds in June, also a new record. For the full quarter, the brutal June brought global net equity outflows to $20.2 billion, the worst performance since the third quarter of 2016, just before the presidential election. The selling is particularly acute in mutual funds, which saw $52.9 billion in outflows…”A lot of rich people are sitting on a lot of cash.
Are those rich people going to spend it or putting it in their mattress?What organization will collect the tariffs?
Where will the money go?Why is the price of good going up, for consumers, when the goods were in the country before the tariffs were charged and collected?
Why are layoffs occuring before the tariffs are applied?
Will tariffs be applied to goods bought by individuals crossing the border. By Car?
By plane? By cruise ship?To reduce and avoid paying a tariff tax or a price hike
1) do price checks- now
2) find alternative suppliers
3) Don’t buy the products with tariffs.I don’t think that Trump know enough about military matters to be the “boss” of any millitary stuff.
I think that the millitary establishment is manipulating Trump.
All that Trump can do is agree with the decisions of his advisors.
I don’t think that any one person has the necessary wisdom and knowledge to pick the right decissions.
