18 August 2020
18 August 2020 TRENDS ON THE ECONOMIC FRONT U.S. MARKETS FRONT Today, marking its fastest recovery in history, the S&P 500 broke above its all- time high that was set in February before government lockdowns sent the broader market index tumbling. The NASDAQ also hit a record high today, but the Dow was down 66 points. As we have continually noted, there is no relationship between Wall Street and Main Street. The hard data and financial facts prove the Federal Reserve and Washington have injected scores of trillions into Wall Street to keep the money junkies high. In this week’s column by Gregory Mannarino, “FINANCIAL FRANKENSTEIN 2020,” he says, “Global stock markets, none more so than the U.S. market, are in a ‘Maximum Distortion’ phase. The Maximum Distortion phase can exist for a 1 long period of time, but the longer the phase lasts, the more profound the next phase will be: Total Meltdown.” Considering the Fed and D.C. Gangs have invented money pumping schemes undreamed of, there is no way to accurately forecast the time and date – as Gerald Celente had with the 1987 Stock Market Crash, the Dot-Com Bust, and the Panic of ’08 – of the upcoming “Total Meltdown.” To clearly illustrate the disparity between Wall Street and Main Street, this was the feature front page headline in yesterday’s Wall Street Journal: “Cyclical Stocks are Leading Latest Leg of Market Recovery.” Turn to Page 3 and read the headline: “More People Go Hungry and Seek Food Aid as Recession Takes Toll.” The story notes some 20 percent of Americans with children at home don’t have enough money to buy enough food. -

Manhattan US Attorney Charges Former New York State Senator
United States Attorney Southern District of New York FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: U.S. ATTORNEY'S OFFICE OCTOBER 19, 2010 ELLEN DAVIS, EDELI RIVERA, JESSIE ERWIN PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICE (212) 637-2600 DOI DIANE STRUZZI (212) 825-5931 MANHATTAN U.S. ATTORNEY CHARGES FORMER NEW YORK STATE SENATOR AND NEW YORK CITY COUNCIL MEMBER HIRAM MONSERRATE WITH CONSPIRACY AND MAIL FRAUD CRIMES Hiram Monserrate Charged With Abusing New York City Council Discretionary Funds To Advance His Own Political Campaign PREET BHARARA, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, and ROSE GILL HEARN, the Commissioner of the New York City Department of Investigation ("DOI"), announced today the unsealing of an Indictment charging HIRAM MONSERRATE, a former New York State Senator and New York City Council member, with conspiracy and mail fraud offenses relating to the abuse of City Council discretionary funds. Specifically, MONSERRATE is accused of misusing more than $100,000 in discretionary funds he himself directed to a New York City non-profit to finance his failed, 2006 campaign for the New York State Senate. MONSERRATE surrendered to authorities early this morning, and is expected to be presented later today in Manhattan federal court. Manhattan U.S. Attorney PREET BHARARA stated: "As we move into the heart of the political season, today’s indictment of Hiram Monserrate should serve as a reminder. No campaign should ever be funded by fraud. Moreover, worthy non-profits are supposed to have access to public money because they are meant to be a resource for communities, not a piggy bank for politicians. -
Trends on the Global Economic Front France
19 JANUARY 2021 TRENDS ON THE U.S. ECONOMIC FRONT U.S. MARKETS OVERVIEW As we have been reporting since late March of last year, when the U.S. Federal Reserve began injecting tens of trillions into the equity markets to prop them up as most of the world’s economies locked down, it was a “right in front of your eyes” racket to keep the White Shoe Boys on their money-junkie high. There has never been such an overt Bankster fraud like it in the History of the World. Tens of millions of businesses locked down and out of business. Billions of people out of work and struggling to make ends meet. Restaurants, nightclubs, convention centers, theaters, cinemas, amusement parks, hotels, airplanes, resorts, cruise ships, fairs, festivals, commercial real estate, apartment rentals... the list goes on, dead and empty. Yet, equity markets hit new highs... yes, indeed, Money Junkie highs. Trends Journal 1 19 January 2021 What does all this mean for the workers of the world... the citizens of Slavelandia? Read Gregory Mannarino’s new article, “THE NEXT PHASE: NUCLEAR DEBT, SLAVE SOCIETY.” Fake High Pushing equity markets higher today is the “uplifting” news that European car sales plunged 23.7 percent in 2020, according to the European Automobile Manufacturers Association, which said the lockdowns “had an unprecedented impact on car sales across Europe.” As for the inner city apartments, as the financial markets hit new highs, the world’s big financial centers – from New York to Toronto to London to Sydney – their rents are plunging. An overview of the decline was detailed by RHB Rental Housing magazine, which lists the facts and data. -
