US Strikes Kill 100 Russian Fighters In Syria

snip

A few caveats: the Russian operation was not officially mandated, and the assault “may have been a rogue operation, underscoring the complexity of a conflict that started as a domestic crackdown only to morph into a proxy war involving Islamic extremists, stateless Kurds and regional powers Iran, Turkey and now Israel.”

In a bizarre deflection of responsibility, Russia’s military not only did not demand an explanation from the US for the deaths, but said it had nothing to do with the attack and the U.S. military accepted the claim. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis has called the whole thing “perplexing,” but provided no further details.

“Coalition officials were in regular communication with Russian counterparts before, during and after the thwarted, unprovoked attack,” U.S. Colonel Thomas F. Veale, a military spokesman, said in a statement. “Russian officials assured coalition officials they would not engage coalition forces in the vicinity.”

Re Vix manipulation….Good find tks

So they were all happy as long as they made money, but when it went wrong, they blow the whistle…….love it, never was any honour among theives.

I guess we can look forward to class action, crowd funded etc lawsuits…that’s gonna be great fun, as that Vix mkt is the beating heart of scum rigging of the SM…..plus where the hell were the SEC etc..

I wonder how they will stop the lawsuits, as 5 mins of Discovery and a Pacific sized cess pit will overflow.

This week ten years ago Silver was 17.10.

Talk about manipulation.

Hating Joos is a losing proposition–out of a world population of what??…7 billion?? There are perhaps 12 million Joos?  Yet 80% of the U.N. agenda is focused on [obsessed with] Israel…with all the real evil in the world, so many see the Joos as the embodiment of all evil…think about that…do YOU want to be part of that herd? Focus your hate elsewhere…look deep within and examine your motivations…

Israeli society has fully integrated christians…many, many of them are MDs and other health professionals…my sons best friend is an Israeli Arab who came from Nazareth as a child–his uncle owns a car dealership in Eilat…some hold high governmental positions–some are in Parliament…same deal for Israeli Arabs who want to participate as normal members of society…

This was posted on ZH. This will obviously get zero coverage by the MSM financial outlets, but starts to expose the depth and integration of the manipulation. I realize we’ve talked about it ad nauseum, but it will hopefully continue to be exposed and inform more momentum, passive investors………..

But now, Bloomberg reports a whistleblower has come forward telling U.S. regulators that a scheme to manipulate the VIX costs investors hundreds of millions of dollars a month.

In a letter Monday (see below) that his client found a flaw that allows traders “with sophisticated algorithms to move the VIX up or down by simply posting quotes on S&P options and without needing to physically engage in any trading or deploying any capital.” Billions in purportedly ill-gotten profits have been scooped up by “unethical electronic option market makers,” according to the letter.

The client wasn’t identified by name. He’s held “senior positions at some of the largest investment firms in the world,” according to the letter written by Jason Zuckerman of Zuckerman Law, who has appeared on Washingtonian magazine’s list of top whistle-blower lawyers in the nation’s capital.

Crucially, according to the letter, the whistleblower blames this VIX manipulation as the driver of last week’s volatility complex collapse:

“We contend that the liquidation of the VIX ETPs last week was not due solely to flaws in the design of these products, but instead was driven largely by a rampant manipulation of the VIX index,”

scum hard at it since 1330 touched,……haven’t stopped selling.

Just imagine how much they are short…thousands and thousands of Tonnes and all they have is a few gold caps as cover. Utter madness.

Yen rallying hard. No help against the rig.

Looks like another penalty for a “false start”

Feel free to email me and I can get with Ipso – I think he knows how to get it done. If not we’ll get with Weston.

You said “smart enough like you to think of higher end areas.”

You give me too much credit .

Actually , the area was chosen by my boss . They would have us meet at the office , then drive us to the location , drop us off , then pick us up again after a couple of hours . I guess that was to avoid having ‘losers’ leave with their books and head into the sunset . You’d be miles away from home if you did .

People getting tired of the zionist victim claim on an F 16 downing after a hunnert attacks on sovereign Syria?

“Hope Putin and Trump are working behind the scenes on back channel communications”

You got that right my friend! The whole situation could go to shit very fast. I don’t think we’d like it much if Russia was killing US soldiers.

“Hope Putin and Trump are working behind the scenes on back channel communications.”

Amen to that – bypass the Deep State filters .
I believe there is mutual respect which could be very beneficial to peace prospects .

Amazing photo!  Very cool.

Sanity. Hope Putin and Trump are working behind the scenes on back channel communications. Crazy world.

Better day for pm’s other than the last hour usual smackdown. We’ll see.

Taking advantage of the cheap and plentiful hydroelectric power that an army of computers require, bitcoin mining is spreading in remote parts of China’s Sichuan province. In dark and isolated warehouses, bitcoin mining machines hum along solving equations to produce the highly valued cryptocurrency.

In 2016, Chinese photographer Liu Xingzhe spent time in China’s bitcoin mines and with the miners themselves, who monitor the vast hallways of machines producing cryptocurrency for various clients. According to Liu, miners typically live in company dormitories for days at a time—not unlike the mining towns of yore—only occasionally traveling dozens of miles to the nearest town.

Although increased government oversight has caused Chinese bitcoin trading to falter, the country remains an important player in bitcoin mining, thanks to cheap labor and computing power (paywall). Chinese clients who pay for bitcoins to be mined on their behalf can monitor progress remotely, using apps on their mobile phones.

Note: Below many photos of bit coin mining equipment, but comes with an annoying car video that can be ignored after scrolling down.
