1…………> Ignored Warnings: World-Wide Fires

 

Firefighters in Sweden have faced their worst bushfire season since records began more than 260 years ago, recording 18 of its warmest 19 summers in the past 25 years.

At the same time, on the other side of the world, the Mendocino fire is the largest in Californian history at 148,000 hectares as  Australians were brought in to help fight fires this year that burned more than 24,000 hectares of land.

For Stockholm’s chief fire officer Peter Arnevall, July 15 heralded a new breed of the firestorm he had not experienced before, with blazes above the Arctic Circle.

“We’ve never seen anything like this,” he said.

“It was so many fires at the same time, and they were so large, it gave us a sense of hopelessness because we didn’t have enough resources within Sweden to handle it.” They were understaffed and underprepared to face what confronted them.

“We don’t have the firefighting planes; we don’t have the helicopters because we’re not used to these types of fires,” Mr. Arnevall said.

“We need to have more resources; we need to think a bit differently.”

2…………> Patriots Rally: Seattle 

 

White supremacist marchers members of the ‘Patriot Prayer’ group gathered by the Seattle’s city hall wearing handguns, carrying rifles and donning body armor, padded gloves, ear protection and equipped alongside other tactical military gear.

Founded by white nationalist Joey Gibson, the Patriot Prayer group co-hosted the march alongside, a Washington state group calling themselves the Three Percenters, members of which advocate for the right to carry weapons and firearms in every walk of life. As a candidate, Gibson drew about 2% of the vote in a recent Washington US Senate primary.

The white supremacist asserted that marchers were demonstrating against the “violence on the far left,” as hundreds of counter-protesters converged across the street from where the rally took place.

A heavy police presence, many on bicycles, kept the two sides apart.

3…………> Patriots vs. Antifa: Stewart vs. Kaine 

 

 The Republican nominee for the US Senate in Virginia Corey Stewart, a man with alleged ties to white supremacists,  tweeted a photo of the Democratic opponent and current Virginia Senator Tim Kaine shaking hands with Joseph Stalin, the former General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.

“The image of the USSR leader appears to have been lifted from a historic photograph depicting a meeting between Stalin, former UK Prime Minister Winston Churchill and former US President Harry Truman on July 17, 1945”

The conservative Republican’s tweet appears to be an effort to link Kaine to ‘Antifa’ for anti-fascist groups who routinely clash with the white supremacist and neo-Nazi groups supported by Stewart. It appears that Stewart’s inflammatory rhetoric will not end anytime soon.

“We’re still digging through Tim Kaine’s old albums — just wait until you see the photo of him playing golf with Karl Marx!” Stewart said.

1…………> Memory Transplant: Marine Mammals

Scientists have successfully transferred a memory from one marine snail to another, a research result that will improve scientists’ understanding of memory’s cellular and molecular processes that are very similar in humans and snails, and may pave the way for better treatments for post-traumatic stress disorder and Alzheimer’s disease.

Seven of the snails that received the new RNA then went on to hide in their shells for an average of 40 seconds when the scientists came knocking, according to a paper published today in the journal eNeuro.

“It’s as though we transferred the memory,” said the study’s senior author, Dr. David Glanzman, from the University of California, Los Angeles.

Professor Glanzman said in future it might be possible to awaken and restore memories that have gone dormant in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease or ameliorate the effects of post-traumatic stress disorder.

2…………> Let’s Go Sailing: Europa

During NASA’s Galileo spacecraft 1997 flyby Jupiter’s moon Europa, a bend in the celestial body magnetic field appears to have been caused by a geyser gushing through its frozen crust from a subsurface ocean, giving researchers reason to infer that water plumes are shooting into space.


“We know that Europa has a lot of the ingredients necessary for life, certainly for life as we know it. There’s water. There’s energy. There’s some amount of carbon material. But the habitability of Europa is one of the big questions that we want to understand,” said planetary scientist Elizabeth Turtle of Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory.

“And one of the really exciting things about detection of a plume is that that means there may be ways that the material from the ocean — which is likely the most habitable part of Europa because it’s warmer and it’s protected from the radiation environment by the ice shell — to come out above the ice shell.

“And that means we’d be able to sample it.”

 

 

 

3…………> Worksite Enforcement: ICE

Following a directive by Deputy Director Thomas Homan calling for increased worksite enforcement investigations to ensure U.S. businesses maintain a culture of compliance, HSI opened 3,510 worksite investigations; initiated 2,282 I-9 audits; and made 594 criminal and 610 administrative worksite-related arrests, respectively. In comparison, for the fiscal year 2017 – running October 2016 to September 2017 – HSI opened 1,716 worksite investigations; initiated 1,360 I-9 audits; and made 139 criminal arrests and 172 administrative arrests related to worksite enforcement.

“Our worksite enforcement strategy continues to focus on the criminal prosecution of employers who knowingly break the law, and the use of I-9 audits and civil fines to encourage compliance with the law,” said Acting Executive Associate Director for HSI, Derek N. Benner. “HSI’s worksite enforcement investigators help combat worker exploitation, illegal wages, child labor and other illegal practices.”

ICE is the federal agency responsible for upholding the laws established by the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) of 1986, which requires employers to verify the identity and work eligibility of all individuals they hire. These laws help protect jobs for U.S. citizens and others who are lawfully employed, eliminate unfair competitive advantages for companies that hire an illegal workforce, and strengthen public safety and national security.

 

 

 

 

4…………> Let’s Go Homeless: Seattle

What are the advantages of being homeless? Below are some scattered thoughts:

1. You don’t have to watch “Fake News”, or any news at all, but could in the news yourself.

2. You ain’t got no money, pay no taxes, own nothing except your blanket and possibly a pillow.

3. You can sleep as long as you can until unwelcome hunger wakes you up.

4. No social fly considerations, fashion, daily washing and grooming and other annoying waste of time.

5. You can shout at anybody smaller than you, and show a finger to someone bigger than you, provided he is across a tall fence.

6. All the money you collect are absolutely tax-free, and the extra quarters earned by selling your empty cans and bottles do not need to be reported to IRS.

 

Apparently, the Seattle City Council is trying to violate your Constitutional rights to sleep under that cozy and safe underpass by voting unanimously for a passage of “housing affordability” tax, a “fat-cat” tax that will raise $47million from those poor guys at Amazon and Starbucks who have piled up so much money that a cash purchase of the US government is not out of the question. 


“We remain very apprehensive about the future created by the council’s hostile approach and rhetoric toward larger businesses,” said Amazon’s vice president Drew Herdener disagreed following the vote.

“[It] forces us to question our growth here.”

And Starbucks said: “This City continues to spend without reforming and fail without accountability.”

5…………> Yogurt Diet: A Delicious Miracle?

Results from a new study at the University of Wisconsin-Madison supports the hypothesis that yogurt can reduce inflammation by improving the integrity of the intestinal lining, thus preventing endotoxins, the pro-inflammatory molecules produced by gut microbes, from crossing into the bloodstream.

In a sample of 120 premenopausal women, half obese and half non-obese, half of the participants were assigned to eat 12 ounces of low-fat yogurt every day for nine weeks while a control group ate non-dairy pudding for nine weeks.

Team leader Dr.Brad Bolling, assistant professor of food science at Wisconsin-Madison, and his associates took fasting blood samples from participants at various points during the study and evaluated an assortment of biomarkers that scientists have used to measure endotoxin exposure and inflammation.

The results showed that while some of the biomarkers remained steady over time, the yogurt-eaters experienced statistically significant improvements in certain key markers, such as tumor necrosis factor or TNF, an important inflammation-activating protein.

“The results indicate that ongoing consumption of yogurt may be having a general anti-inflammatory effect,” said Dr.Bolling.

A study published on Monday in the Journal of Nutrition provided new evidence that yogurt might help dampen chronic inflammation, a factor in inflammatory bowel disease, arthritis, and asthma.

1…………..>Follow The Cautious Leader: Allies

US President Donald Trump is yet to make a final decision on how to respond to a chemical weapons attack in Syria ahead of talks with allies Britain and France,
saying he “never said when” the strike would take place.
Russia described the statements emanating from Washington as “militaristic”, while the French Government says it has proof chemical weapons were used in Douma.

White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders said US officials were “continuing to assess intelligence”.

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has said a possible attack on his country could trigger regional instability.

“With every victory achieved on the field, the voices of some Western states are raised and actions are intensified in an attempt by them to change the course of events … these voices and any possible action will contribute nothing but an increase in instability in the region, threatening international peace and security,” Mr. Assad said according to Syrian state television.

Damascus has denied responsibility for the incident that has widened a rift between the West and Moscow, which backs Syria’s Government.

2…………> Syria “Attack’: Strike ‘Fairly Soon’

In a whirlwind of “Tweeter Diplomacy”, President Trump told reporters that he and his team were looking “very, very seriously” at the situation, following an alleged chemical attack on the town of Douma, as the Western powers are thought to be preparing for strike Russian ally Syrian, and Moscow’s UN envoy Vassily Nebenzia said he “cannot exclude” the possibility of a war between Russia and the US.

“The immediate priority is to avert the danger of war,” he told reporters on Thursday.

Senior Russian figures have warned that missiles threatening the country’s forces in Syria will be shot down and their launch sites targeted.

President Vladimir Putin said that he hoped common sense will prevail.

3…………..> Pimp Extraordinaire: Seattle


David D. Delay, 52, of Lynnwood, Washington, was sentenced  to 33 years in prison for his predatory and exploitive scheme to recruit young women and teens to prostitution for his own enrichment, announced Acting Assistant Attorney General John Gore of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, U.S. Attorney Annette L. Hayes of the Western District of Washington, and Special Agent in Charge Jay S. Tabb, Jr. of the FBI’s Seattle Field Office. Delay was also ordered to pay $76,700 in restitution to his victims, plus additional costs for counseling and medical care. Following prison Delay must register as a sex offender and will be on supervised release for the rest of his life. Because Delay has continued to harass his victims on social media, the judge requested the prison system and U.S. Probation limit his access to social media and computers. At today’s sentencing hearing U.S. District Judge Robert S. Lasnik said “He deserves a long sentence and a sentence that sends a message to the community that these crimes will not be tolerated.”

At the conclusion of a ten-day trial, the jury convicted the defendant on Nov. 6, 2017, of 17 federal felonies, including one count of conspiracy to engage in sex trafficking by force, fraud, and coercion; three counts of sex trafficking; three counts of attempted sex trafficking; one count of conspiracy to transport individuals for purposes of prostitution; six counts of transporting individuals for purposes of prostitution; two counts of production of child pornography; and one count of obstruction of justice.

4…………..> Fishing In Muddy Water: Mr. Xi

 

President Xi Jinping reviewed the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Navy in the South China Sea, declaring that the need to build a strong navy “has never been more urgent than today,” in the country’s largest navy review since its founding in 1949.

Taking part in the review were more than 10,000 service personnel, 48 vessels and 76 aircraft. They included the aircraft carrier Liaoning and latest submarines, vessels and fighter jets. More than half of the vessels were commissioned after the 18th CPC National Congress in 2012.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

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 the news that President Trump is about to start a metal tariff war, slapping 25% surcharge on steel and 10% on aluminum. DIA resistance is in the 27,000 area, with supports at 24135, 21354 and 18900 level, US dollar in a downtrend, resistance at 1.003319 CHF, support at .92 and 0.9: Gold in an uptrend, watch break resistance of 1377 to be taken soon. The massive Fed balance sheet contraction will result in a $600 billion dollars being dumped on the credit markets each quarter, a leftover of the horrendous $4.3 trillion money printing of Obama’s septic tank that will surely exert a severe pressure on stocks and financial assets.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

We warned long ago that an organized attempt to remove President Trump from office is underway, and if this activity is not curtailed soon, the market will open on gap below 20,000 with next stop 17300 and 11800 support levels.

Stocks were up 294 to 24483, DJ futures at -62

Gold down to 1343.3 and USD/CHF up at 0.96 despite President Trump setting 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 sell stop at 24,400. 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.
