1…………> MERS Virus: Saudi Arabia 

Outbreaks of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) have killed 23 people in Saudi Arabia over a roughly four-month span, the World Health Organization (WHO) said Monday. 

The deaths occurred between Jan. 12 and May 31, the WHO announced on its website. 
Those who died were among the 75 people infected by the coronavirus during the period. 

The deaths were in the Hafer Albatin region, Riyadh, Jeddah and Najran region. 
As of May 31, the global number of laboratory-confirmed cases of the coronavirus reported since 2012 totalled 2,220, including 1,844 cases reported from Saudi Arabia. 
With the latest figures, a total of 790 people have died from the disease since September 2012. 

MERS, which occurs in Middle East countries, especially in Saudi Arabia, primarily infects the lungs and may cause damage to the kidneys and other organs. It is transmitted by close contact with infected persons, and there are no preventive inoculations or effective medications against the virus. (Anadolu Agency)

2…………> The 6th US Force: Space Command 

US President Donald Trump says he is ordering the establishment of a 6th branch of the military and wants a ‘Space Force’ to stop China and Russia’ from leading the US, but the international Outer Space Treaty bars the stationing of weapons of mass destruction in space, yet his order directs the management of traffic and debris in space.  

“It is not enough to merely have an American presence in space. We must have American dominance in space,” Mr Trump said before a meeting of his National Space Council. 

“We are going to have the Air Force and we’re going to have the ‘Space Force.’ Separate but equal,” he said later. 

“It is going to be something. So important.” 

The United States wants to send robotic explorers to the moon as soon as next year as a preparatory step towards sending astronauts back there for the first time since 1972, a NASA official said on Monday. 
 
In December, Mr Trump signed a directive that he said would enable astronauts to return to the moon and eventually lead a mission to Mars. 
Will people return to the Moon?

3…………> Heat Is Up: Spreading Tariff War 

US President Donald Trump has threatened to levy a 10% tariff on $200bn (£151bn) of Chinese goods in a tit-for-tat trade row with Beijing and has asked his trade advisers to identify additional Chinese products on which to impose new tariffs despite imposing 25% tariffs on $50bn worth of Chinese goods. 

Beijing responded by saying it would hit 659 US goods worth $50bn with a similar tax. 

The US president released a statement saying “these tariffs will go into effect if China refuses to change its practices, and also if it insists on going forward with the new tariffs that it has recently announced”. 

“If China increases its tariffs yet again, we will meet that action by pursuing additional tariffs on another $200 billion of goods. The trade relationship between the United States and China must be much more equitable,” he said. 

The Chinese product lines that have been hit range from aircraft tyres to turbines and commercial dishwashers. 

In response, China announced tariffs on $34bn of US goods including agricultural products, cars and marine products which will also take effect from 6 July. 
Major market indices have again approached the critical 24800 level of DJI average, and it is only matter of time before on a downward gap opening may give us the first bear market of the Trump’s administration.

4…………> Trump Attacks EU Immigration: Merkel 

President Trump suggested that the Islamic Merkeldom of Germany’s leaders were losing the support of the public over the migration issue, widening the split between Chancellor Ayatollin Angela Merkel and the leader of her coalition ally, Horst Seehofer, over asylum policy and border controls.

The people of Germany are turning against their leadership as migration is rocking the already tenuous Berlin coalition. Crime in Germany is way up. [A] big mistake made all over Europe in allowing millions of people in who have so strongly and violently changed their culture!

Trump told his Twitter followers: “The people of Germany are turning against their leadership as migration is rocking the already tenuous Berlin coalition.” 

The US leader went on to say that “Crime in Germany is way up” before adding that there had been a “big mistake made all over Europe in allowing millions of people in who have so strongly and violently changed their culture!” 

In a warning to the American electorate, Trump warned: “We don’t want what is happening with immigration in Europe to happen with us!”

5…………> Market Report 06/18/2018, sell stop 25500, CG(10322), 11/22/17 

Closed position short 24400, cover shortstop 24500, for a loss of 50 DIA points. 

Last position long 24500, stop 25100 was triggered for a closing gain of 600 points: a new position short 25050, cover short stop at 25150 for a loss of 100 points. 

Stocks were down 103 to 24987, DJ futures -239, fears of tariff wars depressing the markets.

Gold down to 1285.2 and USD/CHF down to  0.99 due to President Trump setting new and harsher tariffs on Chinese products. 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 at 25,050. 

We have to wait and see if new Fed chair Powell will attempt 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.

1…………> Global Warming: The Damage

 

“The Convention on Biological Diversity has very little leadership. There is no-one setting the bar, holding the standard of what a nation should do. So, science like this report holds nations to account and maybe embarrasses them to take some leadership because right now no nation is showing that leadership.

“When it comes to their natural heritage, we are running out of time; the extinction crisis is on. Thirty percent of species will go extinct in the next 50 years if we don’t safeguard nature properly,” said Prof. James Watson from the University of Queensland and the Wildlife Conservation Society.

Millions of square miles of forests, parks, and conservation areas are under “intense human pressure” from mining, logging, and farming, with countries rich and poor, are quick to designate protected areas but fail to follow up with funding and enforcement.

 




2…………> Kingsmen Gang: Busted

 

A federal jury in Buffalo, New York, has convicted three leaders and members of the Kingsmen Motorcycle Club (KMC) gang identified as David Pirk, 67, KMC National President, Andre Jenkins aka Little Bear, 39,  and Timothy Enix, aka Blaze, 58, KMC Nomad, on multiple charges for their roles in a major racketeering operation in furtherance of crime of violence, murder in aid of racketeering, possession and discharge of a firearm in a crime of violence, using and maintaining premises for drug dealing and possession of firearms in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime

 

“The defendants and their associates transformed the Kingsmen Motorcycle Club into a vicious gang that terrorized the Buffalo area, engaging in senseless murders, brutal violence, robberies, and drug trafficking,” said Acting Assistant Attorney General Cronan.  “But after today’s verdict, the Kingsmen Motorcycle Club’s reign of terror is coming to an end.  The U.S. Department of Justice and our partners will aggressively pursue violent gangs wherever they are found and bring them to justice.”

“Motorcycle gangs have evolved over 70 years from bar-room brawlers to somewhat sophisticated criminals,” said FBI Special Agent in Charge Loeffert. “The Kingsmen’s leadership not only voiced a desire to turn its club into a “one-percenter” gang, it acted on that desire when Paul Maue and DJ Szymanski were killed. Those murders told everyone that the Kingsmen do not want to be aligned with the vast majority of riders who are law-abiding citizens. With today’s verdicts, the repeated and regular acts of violence so inculcated into the culture of the Kingsmen Motorcycle Club are over.”

 

Defendant David Pirk, wanted to establish the KMC as a one percent club, meaning that that 99 percent of motorcyclists were law-abiding citizens with the remaining one percent engaged in certain activities such as drug and firearm trafficking, acts of violence, murder, assault, robbery, kidnapping, drug trafficking, obstruction of justice, and witness tampering.

China’s second aircraft carrier left its dock at Dalian Shipyard in northeast China’s Liaoning Province, for its first sea trials, and joined other ships of PLA Navy for a show of force.

 



4………….> Cartel’s Banker: Rabobank

 

Rabobank National Association (Rabobank), a Roseville, California subsidiary of the Netherlands-based Coöperatieve Rabobank U.A., was sentenced for impairing, impeding and obstructing its primary regulator, the Department of the Treasury’s Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the OCC), by concealing deficiencies in its anti-money laundering (AML) program and for obstructing the OCC’s examination of Rabobank. Rabobank was sentenced to a two-year term of probation, and ordered to pay the statutory maximum fine of $500,000. Additionally, as part of its guilty plea, Rabobank forfeited $368,701,259 to the United States as a result of allowing illicit funds to be processed through the bank. 

“Rabobank’s branches on the Mexican border processed hundreds of millions of dollars in suspicious transactions likely tied to international narcotics trafficking, organized crime, and money laundering,” said Acting Assistant Attorney General Cronan. “Instead of filing reports that would have alerted law enforcement to the suspicious activity, as required by law, the bank looked the other way and then compounded its misconduct by conspiring to cover-up its failures and deceiving its regulator. Today’s sentence and the related forfeiture demonstrate that the Department of Justice will use all the tools at our disposal to combat drug trafficking and transnational crime—including prosecuting financial institutions that turn a blind eye to illicit proceeds moving through their customers’ accounts.” 

On Feb. 7, Rabobank pleaded guilty to conspiracy to defraud the United States and to corruptly obstruct an examination of a financial institution, admitting that between 2009 and 2012 it implemented policies and procedures that precluded and suppressed its investigations into potentially suspicious transactions near the U.S.-Mexico border, much of which was conducted by customers and through accounts that Rabobank had previously designated “High-Risk.” 

As a result of its failures, Rabobank admitted that certain customer accounts were involved in not less than $368,701,259 in suspicious transactions that were either unreported or untimely reported to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), as required by the BSA. These transactions included high-volume cash deposits and withdrawals, check transactions, electronic transfers, and wire transfers that were consistent with illegal activity such as trade-based money laundering, bulk cash smuggling, structuring, and the black market peso exchange.
