Interventionistas Outraged Over Trump’s Syria Withdrawal: “We Took The Oil. We’ve Got To Keep The Oil”

Regime change advocates, neocon beltway hawks, and all the usual armchair warrior zero-skin-in-the-game think tank interventionistas are in continued meltdown mode after Trump confirmed plans to withdraw American forces – some 2000+ troops and personnel – from Syria. On Friday the president told senior White House aides that US forces will be exiting Syria after public comments made earlier.

In statements carried by Reuters, Trump said, “Let the other people take care of it now. Very soon, very soon, we’re coming out. We’re going to get back to our country, where we belong, where we want to be.” As we noted last week, the timing of Trump’s dramatic Syria turn corresponded with news of an American soldier killed in Manbij in northern Syria (killed likely by an IED alongside a British coalition soldier overnight last Thursday).

Perhaps to be expected, the weekend editorials and cable news pundit shows reacted in disbelief and horror – with charges of “chaos” at the Trump White House over Syria policy, and claims that “ISIS will come back” if America leaves. Nevermind the fact that Trump himself while on the campaign trail in 2016 stated in public speeches and in a tweet (and linking to a declassified intelligence memo) that US support to jihadists in Syria under President Obama is precisely what fueled the rise of ISIS in the first place.

As far as vehicles go: the less electronics the better!

Not that I’m driving a Model A … but close! 🙂

Richard,

Speaking for myself personally, your comment is spot on.  I have been looking at PM companies I held for years and years before finally giving up on them.

In almost all cases they are now higher than where I sold and I keep waiting for them to drop so I can buy them back.  Hasn’t happened.

The best thing I could have done was – Nothing!!  I should have just gone into hibernation.  It makes me almost sick thinking about it.

DOW investors have no concept of what loyal goldbugs have gone through.

what Bizzaro-world surprise the Cartel has up their sleeve for the rest of the day–will the PM stocks/ETFs be supressed?–after all they were strong on Friday with gold DOWN and silver up just 7 cent…or will they just sell off G&S…

With this type of thinking-due to so many years of conditioning–do ya see why NO ONE will be on board the real G&S bull when it starts-at least not on board with a boatload of merchandise…

The ‘Edit’ button is only visible when you are signed in.  My guess is that you were signed out and that’s why you couldn’t see it.

Nothing to edit,  but checking anyway, and edit icon works here.

Thanks!

Edit bottom was just tested and worked fine for me.

But really, in a post-bailout anything-goes nihilistic Idiocracy, chasing revenueless Biotech, value-less crypto-currencies, over-hyped FANG stocks, and condo flipping,

What’s one more fraud?

I just watched a new movie on Netflix (and in theaters) on Chinese IPO fraud propagated via U.S. financial markets…

The fraud itself is very straightforward and overtly corrupt: Companies based in China cannot be investigated by the U.S. SEC, so their U.S.-filed financial statements are taken at face value. Meanwhile, the “Big Four” accounting firms have branch offices based in China whose audits are essentially corrupt and worthless. Which is deja vu of the ratings agencies in 2008s subprime debacle. So, for example, “PWC” may give its imprimatur to China Corp. but the audit findings are meaningless. The company may not even have employees. In addition, the Chinese government has a policy of never prosecuting fraud perpetrated on foreign investors. Which means that ALL U.S. listed Chinese IPOs – currently in the neighbourhood of $1.1 trillion – could be fraudulent to lesser or total degree. No one knows.

The documentary starts out by describing ~300+ reverse mergers that took place in the immediate aftermath of the subprime collapse. These were Chinese companies that were merged with near-defunct U.S. companies, so they could skip the IPO process. The U.S. companies were already listed. These were almost entirely frauds. 

Most of these reverse merger companies have already been delisted to the tune of ~$50 billion in investor losses, but here is one for example:

‘The Gig Economy’ Is The New Term For Serfdom

“The corporate architects of the new economy have no intention of halting the assault. They intend to turn everyone into temp workers trapped in demeaning, low-paying, part-time, service-sector jobs without job security or benefits, a reality they plaster over by inventing hip terms like ‘the gig economy’…“

I agree with you that there is no doubt that G&S will make their big move with very few on board-it ill be the most doubted bull market in history.

Gold is just flat ugly, silver looks good but who knows?

Look at the propagation of cryptocurrencies.  It is open-source software.  Anyone can make cryptocoins now.  Blockchain technology will be adapted and propagate to may different ledger-type uses.  But the Bitcoin bubble has burst… hard.

When I got into bitcoin at sub-$10 I saw the possibility of a huge bubble as it was adopted.  It was the perfect test of Elliott Wave, and it panned out as predicted, without external manipulation as seen it other markets.   I made good on the rise.  I got out before the peak, but that’s OK.  It went higher than I ever dreamed possible.  Breathtaking to watch.   But the Elliott waves to the upside have been fulfilled, and now we watch the downside manifest.   Bitcoin will die.  Blockchain technology will spread to many, many other uses in accounting.

If gold goes down, so will steel aluminum oil plus many other commodities, and shut down many producers. He’s predicting a deflationary depression coming out of the closet I guess. The stealth growing depression in the USA after 1975 has had the USA on artificial life support.

This is why TPTB are scrambling in panic mode to soup up the US economy for future harvesting by the global commune-ity. Orrrrr, by looking at all the deficit spending they want to get as much “bang” as possible out of the present system before it implodes. You know, ships tanks roads corporate welfare etc.

What happened to the “edit” feature?

Western Central Banks collectively have Gold stocks which, in an emergency, can be used to temporarily  suppress a gold price spike. However, none of them have an emergency Silver supply. For over 15 years we have been subjected to a barrage of Silver Propaganda that a major shortage and price spike…to the moon, is now at hand. Yet, through it all, the TPTB scounged up enough Silver to satisfy demand. If, there is a major demand spike for either Gold or Silver you will see it in price…especially for Silver due to the lack of reserves. Comex  and shorting can’t stop that.

Yes. Sad but I’m afraid all too true
