1…………> Internet Romance: Prison Bromance
Two Georgia men, Richard Ugbah, 36, and Michael Adegoke, 34, Nigerian citizens living in Atlanta, were sentenced by U.S. District Judge James D. Peterson to 12 years in federal prison for wire fraud, an international romance and cyber criminal scheme that defrauded victims from the United States and Canada out of more than $12.9 million. Ugbah was also ordered to forfeit a Mercedes Benz automobile and two bank accounts.
Jon Whipple, 60, from St. Petersburg, Florida, who was initially a victim of a similar romance fraud scheme, but later participated in the scheme by disseminating counterfeit checks in exchange for small amounts of money, was sentenced to five years of probation.

2…………> Visit To USS America: SECNAV
The Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV) Richard V. Spencer, a former H-46 pilot with Marine Medium Helicopter Squadron 161, conducted his first holiday visit to the deployed Marines and Sailors of the amphibious assault ship USS America and embarked 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) on Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 23.
“You are what makes (this ship) an effective weapon. You are what sharpens the pointy end of the spear and it’s because of you that this works … we become a quick thinking organization and punch way above our weight to increase our capabilities,” Mr. Spencer said.
He also expressed his deepest gratitude for everyone’s service especially over the holidays.
“One of the jobs [my wife] and I have back home is to make sure the civilian world knows what their Navy-Marine Corps team is doing,” said Spencer. “Today, as we celebrate Thanksgiving, I think this just epitomizes [your efforts].”
“As a mom, I wish I could hug you all and say happy Thanksgiving,” said Polly Spencer as she thanked the service members for their sacrifices being away from family.
Mr. Spencer conducted a mass reenlistment and fielded questions from the crowd ranging from his thoughts on the future of information and cyber warfare to expressing his excitement about being back with his old helicopter squadron.
“It’s a big honor to have the SECNAV come visit us on Thanksgiving,” said Information Systems Technician 2nd Class Louis Espinoza, one of the Sailors that reenlisted. “But it’s an even greater honor to be reenlisted by him.”
Immediately following the all hands call, Spencer and his wife began serving the Thanksgiving meal to Sailors and Marines, an entree consisting of 540 pounds of turkey, 520 pounds of baked spiral ham and 500 pounds of prime rib, while accompanied with a variety of side dishes and eggnog to drink.
After the SECNAV and his wife served turkey onto each passing plate, he sat down with the crew and shared the special meal with them.

3…………> Digging In: Beijing’s Naval Ports, Aircraft Bases in South China Sea
New Chinese facilities have been discovered on Tree Island, a tiny island.08 square miles in area in the Paracel Islands group, an archipelago disputed by China, Taiwan and Vietnam, with some sections also claimed by Malaysia and the Philippines. In the Spratly Island group, China has been building runways, leading to accusations that they intend to turn the islands into airbases. Vietnam has also accused China of using their existing facilities for naval and coast guard deployments in the region.
China continues to quietly dig in on disputed islands in the South China Sea, based on satellite images analyzed by an American think tank. The new land reclamation and construction initiatives have been military in nature, converting the islands into naval and air bases.

4…………> Stop Comrade Un’s Newspaper: Mr.Xi
A bridge connecting China and North Korea will be suspended for maintenance, with closure described only as “temporary” and traffic expected to resume after the repairs are finished, according to the Chinese Foreign Ministry. The route of 80 per cent of trade and a large amount of personal travel between the neighbours.
Relations between Uncle Xi and nephew Kim have become strained because of Beijing’s implementation of sanctions against North Korea’s nuclear and missile program, with Pyongyang pulling back thousands of its nationals working in China, well ahead of Beijing’s deadline to close all North Korean businesses or joint venture by January 8 next year.

5…………> Market Report 11/24/2017, sell stop 23,560, CG(0),11/22/16

The short position at 23450 was covered at a profit of 50 DIA points. Our new position is long DIA at 23450, sell stop triggered at 23500 for a gain of 50 DIA points. New short position is 23500, cover short 23560, for a loss of 60 DIA points
The market penetrated the 23450 support level and collapsed down to 23358 level, an indication that “Yellen’s bulls” are running away from the market in expectation of tighter credit and less support by the new Fed chief Powell. Then the news that US House has passed a tax bill reignited the bullish sentiment and led to 200 points reversal.
The market was flat after Yellen’s firing from the Fed, so the ominous plan of balance sheet contraction that will dump 600 billion of Obama’s monetary septic tank securities on the market every quarter is clearly on hold, a move suggesting flat interest rates due to flat dollar that would surely bleed the profits of the multinationals. The budget deficit for the last 8 months is 460 billion, in line with Obama’s and the GOP planned country wide tax cuts will explode it to new highs. All this dance and song ignores Comrade Un’s playing with matches supplied by Mr.Xi, and there are talks that that Saudi Arabia may be forced to peg the oil price to Chinese yuan, a decision that will unleash a deluge of paper dollars. Yet like an insane inmate in an asylum beating its bloodied head in a stone wall, Yellen printing money is on hold for now, halting markets push upward and leading to formation of a gold price bottom. Last week President Trump put an end to all those speculations by appointing Jerome Powell as the next Fed chair, finally showing Obama’s not so secret weapon Janet Yellen the door, a decision met with a cautious rally on Wall Street. A close look at the new budget indicates that states like California and New York who have been leading the fight to dethrone or impeach Trump may be in for a nasty surprise if the mortgage deduction is phased out, leaving millions of mansions above $500,000 with a hefty uptick in mortgage payment, a sure prelude to a crash.

We warned that it appears there is organized attempt to remove President Trump from office and if this activity is not curtailed soon, market will open on gap below 20,000 with next stop 17300 and 11800 support levels.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Stocks up 32 to 23558, DJ futures at +34.
Gold up to 1291.8 due market breaking supports, and USD/CHF down to 0.9794 due of Yellen’s removal. Translation? As the dollar goes down, we have to wait and see if the new Fed Chair Jerome Powell will continue pressuring gold and the Eurasian block with it down below $1000/oz in an economic WW3. Watch cover short stop at 23,560. The real shocker bibi1581.com had been predicting for months, the relentless treachery of dedicated CFR, Soros Planetary Commission and KBI(Koch Bureau of Investigation) soldiers Paul “Granny Crusher” Ryan and Mitch “Harry’s Twin” McConnell became evident last week when none of Trump’s grandiose projects were passed by the criminal consortium of Establishment GOP and Unified Party USA. Clearly defrauded and offended President Trump has now made a deal with Nancy Schumer and Charles Pelosi to fund the government for three months and get a relief for Harvey’s victims down in Texas, something that does not bode well for the future of GOP.
We have to wait and see if new Fed chair Powell will attempts to destroy Eurasian block by sending gold prices below 1000, despite the fact both Russia and China have been buying their whole gold production in local gold backed currency instead of money printing machines. In other words, US has lost controls of the precious metals complex, and with Trump’s infrastructure and tax cut campaign the National debt will soon be at, or over 30 trillion dollars, since D.C. swamp alligators have no intention dropping their pet projects. Read “Ziban Must Die” for more details on the coming collision of Trump’s administration with “Deep State” operators funded by the billionaires supporters of the New World Disorder.
