Armstrong’s post. You might be right or he got some opinionated information.
FWIW…
James Kunstler touches all the bases on this week’s re-cap.
Ukraine, reality in Ukraine, Biden, The Laptop, and of course, the Covid scam.

Maya … it’s from Churchill
“Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others.”
― Winston S. Churchill
The Founding Fathers must be rolling over in their graves!
PS Some would say that the 1913 establishment of the Federal Reserve Bank was noteworthy in our decline.
Ipso – It was supposed to be a Democratic Republic…
“…if you can keep it”. Obviously we have failed the founders.
Everything changed when corporate law took over the US in 1937. We are no longer a sovereign country… we are corporate chattel.

I have heard that ‘volunteers’ who went over to Ukraine to help are not being allowed to leave, either. Send ’em Mittens!

I forget who said: Democracy is the worst form of government except for all the rest …
but I guess it could be argued that we don’t have Democracy these days anyway. Probably better called an oligarchy.

Here’s the COT’s
Unfortunately, it has been spot on in predicting the direction of the metals and the banksters aren’t really covering their positions, so I guess that means more pain ahead?
Surprisingly the shares have held up pretty well but they won’t if the metals continue to fall like this. Kind of a pisser while the SM is up 10% this week. I forgot that war is good for the SM.
ipso facto
Re the small parties….yup it is a real conundrum….this lst year or so we have had, what we call by elections, which is when a single seat comes up, due to death or resigning etc..
Both times they were Conservative seats, ie Boris’ party and we knew voters were well pissed with him and his party……. what do voters do they vote for the Lib Dems, which is like voting for Boris’ soft left garbage on steroids and these are both places where u don’t count the vote u weigh it for Conservatives…..in other words they voted for a party that would drive them nuts to live under…..but because it is one of the big 3….they get the vote…just insane.

More important than your PM’s. In fact your life depends on you waking up to this, so PLEASE watch it and pass it on.

Yield Curve Inverts, Prices In Multiple Rate-Cuts After Fed’s Waller Goes Full Hawktard
Fed Governor Christopher Waller said he decided to support a quarter-point hike because geopolitical events called for caution, even though the data were “screaming” for a half-point rise. However, Waller, speaking Friday in an interview on CNBC, said he would like to “front-load” interest-rate hikes:
“I really favor front-loading our rate hikes, that we need to do more withdrawal of accommodation now if we want to have an impact on inflation later this year and next year,” he told CNBC’s Steve Liesman during a live “Squawk Box” interview.
“So in that sense, the way to front-load it is to pull some rate hikes forward, which would imply 50 basis points at one or multiple meetings in the near future.”
In addition to the rate hikes, Waller said he thinks the Fed needs to start reducing its bond holdings soon.

I guess if people won’t vote for the smaller parties even though they have good policies then what’s the point? I think people are afraid their vote will be wasted. It’s a shame really.
If Tulsi Gabbard ran for President I’d sure vote for her. Enough of the warmongers!

What have we got today?
USD up .5% , pm’s down, but shares are relatively flat in the premarket.
5 & 7 yr. now yielding a little more that the 10 yr. How soon before the 2 yr. does the same?
ZH has been yammering about the 3.5 Trillion notional Quad witching OpEx today. Always more hyped than what actually happens.
Today is popcorn day…

I had similar childhood memories of visiting my grandparents every July 4 in Upper Michigan. Lumbering town where two railroads crossed, with a sawmill from back in the 1800s that sent out window frames from the great northern pine forests.
