1………..> NY Bribery:Real Estate

“Bribery and corruption undermine fair competition and the rule of law. The fact that Joo Hyun Bahn’s intended scheme was thwarted by the greed and deception of one of his co-defendants does not change the fact that he sought to steer an $800 million real estate deal by paying hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes. The Department is committed to prosecuting those like Bahn who seek to corruptly tilt the playing field to their advantage,” said Acting Assistant Attorney General Cronan as New Jersey real estate broker Joo Hyun Bahn, aka Dennis Bahn, 39, of Tenafly, New Jersey pleaded guilty to his role in foreign bribery scheme involving $800 million international real estate deal to one count of conspiracy to violate the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and one count of violating the FCPA. 


Bahn was charged alongside his father, Ban Ki Sang (Ban), and Malcolm Harris in December 2016. Ban was a senior executive at Keangnam. Harris, an arts and fashion consultant and blogger, held himself out as an agent of a foreign official.

“As he has now admitted, Joo Hyun Bahn schemed to bribe a foreign official to close an $800 million real estate deal for a skyscraper in Vietnam — a deal that would have earned him a multimillion-dollar commission and much needed capital for his client, Keangnam Enterprises,” said Manhattan U.S. Attorney Berman. “As Bahn’s conviction demonstrates, federal law enforcement stands ready to root out commercial bribery wherever it is found.”

2…………> Unsung Heroes: UK Damn Busters

The last British survivor of the World War Two Dambusters raid has spoken of his devastation and shock on hearing of the deaths of his fellow crewmen in May 1943.

George ‘Johnny’ Johnson, now 96, also told HARDtalk’s Stephen Sackur that the highlight of the mission was seeing – from his Lancaster Bomber – the breached Mohne dam which he described as an inland sea.

3………..>Medical Fraud: Texas

Michael Gluk, 59, the former chief financial officer of ArthroCare Corporation, a publicly traded medical device company based in Austin, Texas, was sentenced today to 50 months in prison for his role in orchestrating a fraud scheme that resulted in shareholder losses of over $750 million.
Gluk admitted that he and his co-conspirators determined the type and amount of product to be shipped to distributors based on ArthroCare’s need to meet Wall Street analyst forecasts, rather than distributors’ actual orders. Gluk and others then caused ArthroCare to “park” millions of dollars’ worth of ArthroCare’s medical devices at its distributors at the end of each relevant quarter. ArthroCare reported these shipments as sales in its quarterly and annual filings at the time of the shipment, enabling the company to meet or exceed internal and external earnings forecasts.

4…………> DACA Doomed: Trump’s Demands

President Trump sent senators a lengthy set of demands that calls for a border wall, more immigration enforcement agents, punishment for so-called “sanctuary cities,” restrictions on citizens and legal residents sponsoring family members’ visas, and policies that make it easier to detain and deport undocumented immigrants. In addition, he is seeking nearly $18 billion to pay for a border wall, a demand that is almost certainly going to sink hopes for deal on the so called DACA aka Dreamers ― young undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. as children ― and might risk a government funding agreement in the process.

The outrage of the Democrats and immigrant rights activists was immediate and irreversible: The “Trump demands list” could be enough to trigger a opposition party revolt on a government funding bill that needs to pass later this month, Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), whose office shared the White House’s list with reporters, said in a statement.

5…………> CA Civil War

Economist Ben Stein said the state of California is flirting with “civil war” against the rest of the United States over its refusal to enforce federal immigration policies, a reaction to comments by acting ICE Director Thomas Homan made on “Your World” earlier in the week, in which Homan said citizens will die and Gov. Jerry Brown (D-Calif.) is likely violating federal law by enacting a “sanctuary state” policy. 


“I think that this is essentially a rebellion by the state of California,” Stein said. He said California’s posture looks “very much like the beginning of a civil war,” invoking the actions of April 12, 1861 when the Confederate military fired upon the Union installment at Fort Sumter.”

6…………> A Message Of Peace

Turn of the channel on people who have offended and demeaned the teachings of our beloved Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, also known as Rabbi Emmanuel. Walk away, let them dry on the scorching sun. Listen to the sound of Christus Vincit, a message of peace and hope.

1………….> Logic Smoke Signals: Obama, Sasse & Co

“The only way the republic can work is if we come together and we defend each other’s rights to say things that we differ about. We defend each other’s rights to publish journalism and pieces and things that we then want to argue about.” GOP Establishment Senator Ben Sasse, a sworn enemy of Mr. Trump said in a video, accusing president’s supporters of raising ‘Tribalism’ and defending “First Amendment” of US Constitution.

 True to form and habits, former Harvard lecturer and our 1st Muslim President, Grand Ayatollah Barack Obama also warned of the fracturing impact of social media on political discussion in recent days.

“One of the dangers of the internet is that people can have entirely different realities. They can be cocooned in information that reinforces their current biases,” said Obama in a recent interview on BBC, clearly describing the American electorate as a bunch of morons who could not think for themselves.

 
 The convoluted idiocy of logic and records of Obama, Sasse & Co is not very difficult to untangle, since it was Sasse and his Establishment GOP hoodlum friends who voted for years to raise budget caps on the ever increasing Obama deficits and budgets.
It was Sasse & Co who turned a blind eye on the relentless abuses of the Constitution by Obama’s lieutenants, starting from issuing FISA court orders to spy on the opposition, opening the border to a NARCO State of Mexico, listening to people’s phone calls and reading their email, giving away billions to Islamo Fascist State of Iran and the list goes on and on.

2…………> Rough January: Trump


After long overdue vacation having worked relentlessly to 
pass his tax-reform bill, remove a host of Obama executive orders and other impediments to American business, President Donald Trump returned to the cold and unforgiving world of D.C. alligator infested swamp, to face battles on funding the government, push his immigration agenda and host other domestic and international crises, with Iran uprising and North Korea nuclear standoff topping the list of immediate concerns.
In addition, money for Mr.Trump’s wall, end of chain migration and lottery are a prerequisite for deal on the 800,000 DACA recipients who protections expires in March, making them vulnerable to ICE deportation, guaranteeing a confrontation with the Democrats that could shut down the government.
3…………> No Jerusalem, No Money: Trump

“It’s not only Pakistan that we pay billions of dollars to for nothing. As an example, we pay the Palestinians hundred of millions of dollars a year and get no appreciation or respect. They don’t even want to negotiate a long overdue peace treaty with Israel,” President Trump said about the UN veto on his decision to accept Jerusalem as the capital of the Jewish State, and a statement by Palestinian authority to halt the peace process negotiations.

4…………> Facebook Gestapo: Watch Out

“The blocking of accounts of people who are on lists maintained by the US government has become routine. It is also illegal as the account holders have broken no laws and are in compliance with the rules set up by the sites themselves” Philip Giraldi, a former CIA officer said about an article by author Glenn Greenwald regarding Facebook and other Silicon Valley firms policy of compliance with the requests of Washington and Tel Aviv to delete undesired accounts because they fear US and Israeli influential political elites.

5…………..> Drug Dealer Slammed: Texas

A federal jury last week convicted a North Texas man named Jeremy Crabtree, 41, from Fort Worth on a felony drug charge of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute 500 grams or more of a mixture and substance containing a detectable amount of methamphetamine. The conspiracy count carries a penalty of not less than 10 years or more than life in federal prison, and a $10 million fine.
Crabtree operated an illegal gambling establishment near I-35W and Long Avenue that became a hub for Aryan Brotherhood (AB) gang-related activity and methamphetamine trafficking.

6…………>Market Report 01/02/2017, sell stop 24,650, CG(-60), 11/22/16

Short position closed at 23560, for a loss of 60 DIA points, with a new position long 23560, sell stop 24600 for a spectacular gain of 1090 DIA points. 

Stock market old timers have said that “you buy the rumor, and sell the news”, and that is exactly what is happening right now, with Democrats screaming murder as a close look at the new tax bill 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 with the mortgage deduction for state and local taxes set at only $10,000 per return, 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 were up 105 to 24824, DJ futures at +39.

Gold up to 1315.2 and USD/CHF down to 0.9719 due to tax bill passage. 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 sell stop at 24,650. 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.
