David Stockman on the Prospect of World War III

by David Stockman, International Man: Are these people so abysmally ignorant of history, geography, economics and the wherewithal of a true national security threat that they think the map below is worth WWIII?

Futures Dip On Last Trading Day Of Blockbuster Year For Markets

Futures Dip On Last Trading Day Of Blockbuster Year For Markets US stock futures edged lower and global markets - at least those that were open - dipped in thin trading on the final session of 2021 as concerns about the fast-spreading omicron variant let some air out of what has been a solid Santa rally to end a year of strong gains: after a 27% gain for the S&P 500 Index this year, fueled by a recovery from the coronavirus-induced slump, investors are assessing the impact of covid with new cases globally exceeding a record 2 million for the first time since the pandemic began. Also in focus is easing concern about a standoff between the U.S. and Russia after the latter expressed satisfaction with the outcome of a phone call between the countries’ presidents about Ukraine. Oil prices retreated from $80 a barrel following their biggest annual gain since 2009, the 10-year Treasury yield dropped to 1.5% and the dollar, which had its best year since 2015 with a 6.7% rise , was steady against most major currencies. With several markets in Asia and Europe closed on Friday, trading volumes were thin and most markets directionless. At 730am, S&P emini futures were down 8 points or -0.17%, Nasdaq futures were down 40 points or 0.25% and Dow futures were also down 94 points, or 0.26%. While activity was thin, there were some notable US pre-market movers today: * Fathom Digital (FATH) soared 45% after bullish posts on Reddit about the maker of on-demand digital manufacturing platforms. * Some cryptocurrency-exposed stocks rise in U.S. premarket trading on Friday as Bitcoin advances for a second day, paring its biggest monthly drop since May. Marathon Digital (MARA) +2.9%, Riot Blockchain (RIOT) +1.9%, Bit Digital (BTBT) +3.5%. * Xeris Biopharma (XERS) shares gain 18% after the company said the U.S FDA approved Recorlev for treating endogenous hypercortisolemia in some patients. The risk-reward is attractive, according to Piper Sandler. In the latest Omicron news, a growing number of countries are reporting record daily cases of COVID-19 because of the Omicron variant, and New Year celebrations were being scaled back by uncertainty about the spread of the virus. But after initially tumbling in December, stocks have recovered over the holiday period as investors became reassured economies could handle the surge in Omicron cases, and are heading back towards record highs. "As far as COVID is concerned, for now, market participants may stay willing to add to their risk exposures, and perhaps push equity indices to new highs, as several nations around the globe held off from imposing fresh lockdowns, despite record infections around the globe the last few days," said Charalambos Pissouros, head of research at Cyprus-based brokerage JFD Group. Investors have held on to the resilience of the global recovery into 2022 and the prospect of further gains if money remains cheap and corporate profitability so high. This year's "everything rally" has seen a wall of cheap central bank cash, government stimulus and strong economic rebounds out of the pandemic make it hard not to profit from soaring asset prices. “As we look forward to 2022 the gains are probably going to be more modest than they’ve been in the past year or so” partly given where valuations are now, Jason Pride, chief investment officer for private wealth at Glenmede, said on Bloomberg Television. But there’s reason for optimism too since “we’re still in the recovery from the pandemic,” he said. The spotlight was also on talks by telephone between U.S. President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin. The Kremlin said Putin was satisfied with the outcome of the discussions. The U.S. and its allies have raised alarm over a potential Russian invasion of Ukraine. The MSCI World Index was marginally higher and remains just 0.5% off record levels. The index has surged 17% in 2021, its third consecutive year of double-digit gains. With most European markets closed or shutting down early on Friday, trading was thin as investors drew a line under a strong year for global equities as economies recovered from the pandemic. Emerging markets and Asian benchmarks lagged, partly due to China’s ongoing regulatory pressures and slowing economy. Bond investors are nursing losses as many central banks move toward tighter monetary settings to fight inflation. How the coronavirus and those policy shifts shape economic reopening are key for the outlook. European equities fell in thin trading, with many major markets on the continent closed. The Stoxx Europe 600 Index dropped 0.2%, hovering close to a record close after advancing more than 22% this year, with trading volume about 86% lower than of the 30-day average as markets including Germany, Spain and Italy were closed. In the U.K., the FTSE Index fell 0.5%, while France’s CAC 40 Index also declined 0.5%. The Stoxx 600 advanced more than 22% in 2021, on track for a seventh consecutive quarters of gains, the longest winning streak since 1998. European equities are hovering near a record, up about 75% from a pandemic low in March 2020, on the back of an unprecedented stimulus and a successful vaccination campaign against the coronavirus, which allowed economic activity to resume despite periodic flare ups in infections. Looking at the year ahead, Christophe Barraud, chief economist at Market Securities LLP in Paris, sees headwinds building up for European stocks, as the spread of omicron brings back restrictions, the economy slows and monetary policy support wanes. “On the positive side, earnings could hit fresh record highs as nominal growth will remain strong, real rates are expected to remain low (TINA effect) and companies will still focus on buybacks and dividends,” he said. Earlier in the session, Asian stocks gains as low liquidity and short-covering coupled up to boost Chinese technology shares that dragged the regional benchmark down this year. A rally in Hong Kong tech names followed a surge in U.S.-listed Chinese shares. The Hang Seng Tech Index rose 3.6%, while Chinese shares overall advanced. Those moves came in the wake of the Nasdaq Golden Dragon China Index’s biggest one-day jump Thursday since 2008, though it’s still down more than 40% for 2021. The MSCI Asia Pacific Index advanced as much as 0.5% in 2021’s last trading session, with Alibaba and Tencent the biggest contributors to gains as investors snapped up China’s battered internet giants. The Hang Seng Tech Index rose 3.6%, while Hong Kong’s benchmark gauges led advances around the region in a shortened trading day. “The fundamentals and regulatory environment haven’t changed,” said He Qi, a portfolio manager at Huatai Pinebridge Fund Management. “We need to monitor any news on the regulations and China-U.S. tensions in the new year” to decide whether China tech’s gains can continue, he added. MSCI’s Asian index is still set to clock an annual loss of more than 3%, underperforming the MSCI AC World Index by about 20 percentage points, the biggest gap since 1997. While measures in Vietnam and India surged the most this year, up about 36% and 24%, respectively, Chinese stocks dragged the regional gauge lower. The Philippine stock index was the biggest decliner in the region Friday, sliding nearly 3% as the Southeast Asian nation held back from further easing of mobility curbs amid rising Covid-19 cases. Japan, South Korea and Taiwan were among markets that were closed for year-end holidays. The latest data showed China’s manufacturing sector continued to expand in December, providing some relief to Beijing as the world’s second-largest economy continues to struggle with a property market slump. Less positively, Hong Kong may be facing an omicron virus-strain cluster. The city’s stock market shut early and Japan is among those closed ahead of the New Year. Traders are continuing to monitor China’s struggling property developers. A Chinese state-owned enterprise will take a 29% stake in China South City Holdings Ltd., in the latest sign of the authorities stepping up support for ailing real-estate firms. In rates, Treasuries are little changed on light volume, edging higher amid weakness in U.S. equity futures on year’s last day. Yields are lower by less than 1bp across the curve, with the 10-year little changed at ~1.50%, below the 50-DMA that was breached to the upside Wednesday for first time this month. Except in auction sectors (2-, 5- and 7-year) yields are little changed on the week, higher on the month in which Fed announced a faster pace of asset-purchase tapering beginning in January and revised dot- plot of forecasts for fed funds target pointing to three hikes in 2022 and 2023 Despite heading for first annual loss since 2013, U.S. government debt has benefited as a hedge for stocks at record highs. SIFMA recommends a 2pm ET close for fixed income markets, and month-end Treasury index rebalancing at 1pm is estimated to extend its duration by 0.07yr, which may support the market.   On the last day of the year, Brent crude futures dropped 0.8% to $78.87 a barrel and U.S. crude oil weakened 0.94% $76.27 a barrel. Despite this weakness, commodity prices have enjoyed a strong year, with supply often falling short of a jump in demand as economies reopened and both Brent and WTI are up more than 50% in 2021, their biggest gains since 2009, spurred by the global economic recovery and producer restraint In FX, the Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index dropped 0.1%, trimming an almost 5% advance this year, the biggest since 2015; the Australian and New Zealand dollars outperformed peers as China PMI bolstered risk appetite, rising 0.2%. The euro, which has dropped 7.4% this year as investors bet the European Central Bank would be slower to end pandemic-era stimulus than rival central banks, rose 0.1% to hold above $1.13 . Japan's yen, which has lost more than 11% to the dollar in 2021, dipped slightly again to 115.1 yen per dollar - not far from four-year lows touched earlier this month. Sterling was little changed against the dollar and the euro .The pound remains down for the year against the dollar but looks set for its best year since 2014 versus the euro. On Friday it rose to as high as 83.69 pence, its strongest since February 2020. Elsewhere in currency markets, Turkey's lira - by far the biggest currency loser in 2021 - fell for a fifth straight day. Turkey again tweaked the price-fixing method used to measure the returns of lira-protected deposits, less than two weeks after President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced the new instrument as part of efforts to shore up the weakening currency. Under new guidelines issued by the central bank, the so-called conversion rate will be set using foreign-exchange buying rates announced six times a day instead of once a day. The rate is used to measure the lira’s level against major currencies at the opening date of new accounts. By all accounts, it appears that Turkey is making it up as it goes along, and after the initial monster squeeze in the lira, cracks are reappearing as shorts return to what has been the worst performing currency of the year. There is no economic data on today's calendar. Market snapshot * S&P 500 futures down 0.1% to 4,767.00 * STOXX Europe 600 down 0.1% to 488.19 * MXAP up 0.5% to 193.28 * MXAPJ up 0.7% to 630.38 * Nikkei down 0.4% to 28,791.71 * Topix down 0.3% to 1,992.33 * Hang Seng Index up 1.2% to 23,397.67 * Shanghai Composite up 0.6% to 3,639.78 * Sensex up 0.8% to 58,235.68 * Australia S&P/ASX 200 down 0.9% to 7,444.64 * Kospi down 0.5% to 2,977.65 * Brent futures down 0.2% to $79.14/bbl * Gold spot up 0.2% to $1,819.08 * U.S. Dollar Index little changed at 95.92 * Euro little changed at $1.1332 Top Overnight News from Bloomberg * China’s manufacturing sector continued to expand in December, providing some relief to Beijing as the world’s second-largest economy continues to struggle with the ongoing property market slump. * Russian President Vladimir Putin is satisfied with the outcome of talks with U.S. President Joe Biden, which set the stage for three sets of negotiations on European security next month, the Kremlin said after a 50-minute call between the two leaders * JPMorgan Chase & Co. is offering employees the option of working from home in the opening weeks of 2022, and Citigroup Inc. is encouraging staff to log on remotely * South Korea’s inflation topped 3% for a third straight month in December, as still-high commodity prices, ongoing supply issues and resilient domestic demand all worked to lift consumer prices Tyler Durden Fri, 12/31/2021 - 07:54

French Tennis Star Benoit Paire Rages After Testing Positive For COVID For "250th Time"

French Tennis Star Benoit Paire Rages After Testing Positive For COVID For "250th Time" Authored by Katabella Roberts via The Epoch Times, French tennis player Benoit Paire has tested positive for COVID-19 just weeks before the Australian Open gets underway on Jan. 17, 2022. The sportsman, 32, revealed on Wednesday that he had contracted the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, which causes COVID-19, and admitted regular quarantining had taken a toll on his mental health. “Hey my name is Benoit Paire, and for the 250th time I tested positive for Covid!!” he said on Twitter. “Honestly I can’t deal with this Covid s*** anymore.” “How am I doing? Because of Covid, I got a runny nose but because of all these quarantines spent in a hotel room halfway across the world, I don’t feel good mentally,” he continued. “Last year was tough, and this year starts exactly the same way!!” Paire, who is vaccinated, added that he is “100 percent for the vaccine,” but urged people to “just live as before Covid, otherwise, I don’t see the point.” Paire is the second player to test positive for COVID-19 among the arrivals in Australia this week after Denis Shapovalov announced that he had tested positive in Sydney. “I am following all protocols, including isolation and letting the people who I’ve been in contact with know,” Shapovalov announced in an Instagram post last week. “Right now I am experiencing minor symptoms and look forward to getting back on the court when it is safe to do so. Thank you in advance for your support and wish you all a safe and happy holiday.” Other players who have tested positive in recent weeks include Rafael Nadal, Andrey Rublev, Olympic gold medalist Belinda Bencic and Ons Jabeur. Meanwhile, Roger Federer and Stan Wawrinka will miss the Australian Open due to injuries. Paire was ruled out of the 2020 U.S. Open after testing positive for COVID-19 just days before his first match. He was placed in isolation for two weeks, meaning he was unable to play. After leaving isolation, he tested negative for the virus but then tested positive again two weeks later at the ATP tournament at Hamburg, Rothenbaum. However, he was allowed to play because the positive result was due to a prior infection of the virus. In a statement at the time, Hamburg officials explained why the tennis star was permitted to remain in the event. “According to tournament doctor Dr. Volker Carrero, it is not uncommon that three weeks after a positive result, fragments of the virus can still be found inside the body,” officials said. “Paire has not shown any symptoms of disease and has not been contagious at any time. Local health authorities in Hamburg made the decision on Saturday that Paire is allowed to play.” In January this year, Paire, the world No. 46, had to complete 14 days of quarantine before the Australian Open after one person on his flight to Melbourne tested positive for COVID-19. This week, five Australian jurisdictions agreed upon a new definition for a COVID-19 “close contact,” which will ease the burden on PCR testing clinics and help keep the economy running. Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced that from midnight of Dec. 31, New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, and the Australian Capital Territory will change their definition of a close contact and follow-up procedures. “Except in exceptional circumstances, a close contact is a household contact … of a confirmed case only,” Morrison said. “A household contact is someone who lives with a case or has spent more than four hours with them in a house, accommodation, or care facility setting.” “You are only a close contact if you are effectively living with someone or have been in an accommodation setting with someone for more than four hours … who has actually got COVID-19. Not someone who is in contact with someone who has had COVID—it’s with someone specifically who has COVID,” Morrison said. Tyler Durden Fri, 12/31/2021 - 06:00

CIA Experimented On 100s Of Orphans, Torturing Them To Reveal Psychopathic Traits; Report

CIA Experimented On 100s Of Orphans, Torturing Them To Reveal Psychopathic Traits; Report Authored by Matt Agorist via The Free Thought Project, According to a new documentary out of Denmark, which interviewed former victims, the Central Intelligence Agency secretly carried out experiments on 311 orphaned children. The experiments were meant to reveal psychopathic traits and map out the link between schizophrenia and heredity. According to the report, the children were tortured in clear violation of the Nuremberg Code of 1947 that introduced ethical restrictions for experiments on humans. Hundreds of Danish orphans were unknowingly used in experiments backed by the CIA, according to Danish Radio, reporting on a new documentary called “The Search for Myself.” According to the report, the experiments began in the early 1960s and spanned the course of two decades. They were conducted to investigate the link between heredity and environment in the development of schizophrenia. However, the children were not told what research they were involved in. Not even after the experiments ended. It was also funded in part by a CIA front associated with the MK-Ultra program. Eerily, the examinations took place in a basement at the Municipal Hospital in Copenhagen. The director and producer of the documentary, Per Wennick, was actually a victim of the CIA and subjected to these experiments as a child. In the documentary, he recalled being placed in a chair, getting electrodes put on his arms, legs, and chest around the heart and having to listen to loud, shrill noises, which attempted to incite a psychological response. “It was very uncomfortable”, Wennick told Danish Radio. “And it’s not just my story, it’s the story of many children.” By his own admission, he was promised “something funny” before being taken to the hospital. “I think this is a violation of my rights as a citizen in this society. I find it so strange that some people should know more about me than I myself have been aware of.” According to historian, PhD, and museum inspector at the Danish Welfare Museum, Jacob Knage Rasmussen, this was the only known experiment in Danish history that used children under state care for research — and it was funded by the CIA in violation of the Nuremberg Code. “I do not know of similar attempts, neither in Denmark nor in Scandinavia. It is appalling information that contradicts the Nuremberg Code of 1947, which after World War II was to set some ethical restrictions for experiments on humans. Among other things, informed consent was introduced, which today is central to the world of research”, Knage Rasmussen told Danish Radio. He emphasized the vulnerability of the group in the custody of the state, who had nobody to complain to. According to Danish Radio, the idea to experiment on the vulnerable children came from American psychologist Zarnoff A. Mednick, who was then a professor at the University of Michigan. According to Wennick and the National Archives, the research project was co-financed by the US health service. In the first year alone, the project was supported with what today corresponds to DKK 4.6 million ($700,000). It also received funding from the Human Ecology Fund. The Human Ecology Fund was a CIA funded operation through the Cornell University College of Human Ecology Society for the Investigation of Human Ecology to support covert research on brainwashing. It was also connected to research under the MK-Ultra program in which social scientists, including anthropologists, were led (mostly unwittingly) to provide input into interrogation techniques still in use today. Danish psychiatrist Fini Schulsinger dedicated his doctoral dissertation to the experiments in 1977, titling it, “Studies to shed light on the connection between heredity and environment in psychiatry.” While researching for the documentary, Per Wennick managed to locate 36 boxes at the Psychiatric Centre Glostrup in Hvidovre that detailed the CIA’s unscrupulous child experiments. However, when the center got word of the documentary, they began shredding the documents. Danish Radio reports that Kent Kristensen, associate professor of Health Law at the University of Southern Denmark, pointed out that the shredding of the documents was illegal. “I think it’s a huge failure for the former orphanage children who are interested in the pieces of their own childhood to get a total story made about their own lives. That possibility is deprived of them if you shred the research material,” Knage Rasmussen told Danish Radio. Indeed. It also details the CIA’s depravity and violations of the Nuremberg code. If history is any indicator, however, no one will be held responsible for exploiting these children and it will be swept under the rug, likely escaping any scrutiny by the mainstream media.

Investors Abandon 'Underperforming' ESG Fund, AUM Collapses 91% Overnight

Investors Abandon 'Underperforming' ESG Fund, AUM Collapses 91% Overnight It appears returns matter after all... What was once the second-biggest exchange-traded fund investing in sustainable emerging-market companies is now a nothing-burger of abandon hopes and dreams and signaled virtue. In just two days, the iShares ESG MSCI EM Leaders ETF (LDEM) lost 91% of its total assets, crashing to below $70 million briefly (from over $800 million right before Christmas Eve)... Source: Bloomberg As Bloomberg reports, only one holder of LDEM’s shares owned enough to account for such a steep outflow, the data show: Ilmarinen, the Helsinki-based pension company that made a $600 million investment in the fund when it launched in February 2020. Since the pension fund's virtue-signaling investment, LDEM has drastically underperformed its benchmark... Source: Bloomberg And even more dramatically underperformed the S&P 500... Source: Bloomberg Another BlackRock fund, the iShares ESG Aware MSCI EM ETF (ESGE) remains the largest ETF investing in emerging-market sustainable companies, with $6.2 billion in assets. According to the firm, the assets under management in iShares’ sustainable ETFs and index funds globally “has doubled year-over-year across more than 180 sustainable fund solutions.” But, for EM ESG, it is clear that dollars and sense trump virtue-signaling and cents-on-the-dollar.

After Thousands Of Parents Refused To Comply, California School District Reverses Child Jab Mandate

After Thousands Of Parents Refused To Comply, California School District Reverses Child Jab Mandate Authored by Matt Agorist via The Free Thought Project, Forgoing any legal democratic processes, multiple school districts in California began mandating the COVID-19 vaccination for children earlier this year. Set to go into effect in January, any child, 16 and older, who did not get the jab, was banned from campus in all San Diego public schools. This authoritarian move caused a mass of backlash and thousands of children and parents refused to comply. The refusal to get vaccinated set the stage for a showdown that was to unfold on January 24 when the children would be kicked out of school for non-compliance. There will be no showdown, however, as a San Diego judge struck down the mandate this week, accurately pointing out that a school district has no authority to mandate medical procedures for children. CBS 7 reports that Superior Court Judge John S. Meyer granted a writ of mandate for a lawsuit filed by the group “Let Them Choose,” which sought to keep the school district‘s COVID-19 vaccine mandate from going into effect by arguing it did not comply with state law. Meyer noted in the ruling that the school district‘s COVID-19 vaccine mandate cannot move forward because it conflicts with state law, which says any decision to mandate vaccines must be made at the state level and must also include a “personal belief exemption” if the mandate is not imposed by the state Legislature. San Diego Unified’s policy did not contain this exemption. “SDUSD’s Roadmap appears to be necessary and rational, and the district’s desire to protect its students from COVID-19 is commendable. Unfortunately, the field of school vaccine mandates has been fully occupied by the State, and the Roadmap directly conflicts with state law,” the judge wrote in a tentative ruling. Naturally, the school district disagreed and claimed they have the right to dictate what children can and can’t be injected with. For now, however, their objection is meaningless and the children and parents who did not want to take the vaccination, will no longer be forced to do so. “I am overjoyed. We knew that our legal argument was strong, and we brought this case on behalf of thousands of concerned parents and students and to hear the judge say no student should be coerced into getting this vaccine was just a wonderful thing to hear,” said Sharon McKeeman, founder of the group behind Let Them Choose. As TFTP reported earlier this month, the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) — which is the second largest school district in the country — made a similar move and mandated shots for all children aged 12 and older. Students were told they would be banned from campus on January 10, 2022 if they failed to comply and take the shot. NBC4 spoke to an attorney who is following these cases, Jennifer Kennedy, who explained that school districts do not have the authority to mandate medical procedures. Just like the San Diego school district did not have the authority to mandate the jabs, the LAUSD did not have it either. “These grotesque contests and displays of treatment and candy and gifts and favors, raffles and cash prizes inducing the kids to the vaccination…. Here is the problem, kids in California cannot consent to vaccination.” She added, “The LAUSD does not have the power to add a vaccine to the California school schedule,” she said. “You couldn’t do it if you were a po-dunk school district and you can’t do it if you’re LAUSD, the second largest district in the nation. You don’t have that legal authority.” Several parents of students filed lawsuits against the LAUSD over the mandate and thousands of children remained unvaccinated in LAUSD. This line in the sand forced the school district to postpone their mandate last week after a whopping 28,000 children refused the jab. It is only through resistance that the change we seek will come. As history shows us, one cannot comply their way out of tyranny. Tyler Durden Wed, 12/29/2021 - 20:10

Here's How The Energy Crisis Turns Into Hunger And Then... War?

Here's How The Energy Crisis Turns Into Hunger And Then... War? Authored by Chris Macintosh via InternationalMan.com, We have previously warned about a whopping food crisis and supply problems in the fertilizer market. Well, now is worse because that was BEFORE we had the natural gas crisis. Why is that important? Natural gas is THE critical input into making fertilizer. Urea is essentially ammonia in solid state, the process of which entails reacting ammonia with CO2. And we all now know — thanks to the climate nazis — that CO2 is currently the devil. The problem of course is that with no natural gas there is no urea, and with no urea there is no fertilizer. And with no fertilizer… well, we will eat each other. Here are the spot urea prices. Something else that we had noted some time back (in Korea) but which now seems like a larger problem. Here is an article about an Australian farmer who warns the urea supply crisis could halt normal life within weeks. Here’s what he says: ‘Not only will we not be able to grow cattle and we will not be able to grow food and we will not be able to grow grain or anything like that, but even if we could, we can’t move it, because we can’t turn a wheel in a truck because we have no Adblue,’ [AdBlue is needed for diesel vehicles — half of all trucks on Australian roads run on diesel As of February we might not have a truck on the road in Australia, we might not have a train on the tracks. ‘So quite literally the whole country comes to a standstill as of February.’ The farmer then, goes on to say: ‘Go and have a look in your cupboard and go and have a look in your fridge and I guarantee just about every single item there, at some point, urea has been used to produce that item, whether it’s a steak or a salad or a can of baked beans. Moving to Europe, we have a full blown energy crisis unfolding there, made worse by increasingly more destructive policies by the pointy shoes (let’s produce more solar and wind when it’s proven to be both inadequate and massively costly) and a supply chain crisis. Take a look at European energy prices. So here we’re now witnessing the beginnings of what promises to be a storm. Think cold and hungry and you’ve got the right picture. That electricity comes largely from natural gas, and that natural gas comes from those peaky Russkies. European Gas Prices Surge Above 100 Euros With Eyes on Russia. Europe’s benchmark natural gas price rose above 100 euros, or $190 per barrel of oil equivalent, ahead of a series of auctions for pipeline capacity that are seen as a test of Russia’s willingness to ease a supply crunch. The day-ahead auctions for space on Ukrainian pipelines and capacity at Germany’s Mallnow compressor station will provide a strong signal for how serious Russia is about increasing flows to the west. While the region’s biggest supplier has said it aims to keep refilling European storage sites until the end of December, it hasn’t used short-term auctions to ship more fuel. So right now we have this situation which is going to make your head spin. Europe is out of gas. They’ve spent the better part of the last decade getting rid of their own domestic energy, replacing it with baubles and toys, which, while scoring big on the woke scorecard, have proven abysmal at producing… well, electricity. With Europeans now cold and very shortly hungry we are due for a war. Remember that historically, the spiraling food prices have caused civil unrest, revolutions, and wars. On the plus side, it has been known to also cure obesity, so there’s that. Back to urea and food. You can’t make fertilizer without urea and natural gas. As the price of either of these goes higher (both are), it significantly impacts the price of fertilizer. The price of fertilizer impacts in turn the price of food. This is because fert is the second largest cost component of most agricultural production. The first being… you guessed it, diesel. We now have a bull market not just in urea, but in natural gas, and to top it off in diesel too. To expect food prices to remain stable when the ingredients to producing it are all rocketing higher impresses us as comically stupid. *  *  * Disturbing economic, political, and social trends are already in motion and now accelerating at breathtaking speed. Most troubling of all, they cannot be stopped. The risks that lie ahead are too big and dangerous to ignore.

The Leading Candidate In The April 2022 French Election Only Polls 20%

The Leading Candidate In The April 2022 French Election Only Polls 20% Authored by Mike Shedlock via MishTalk.com, Let's take a quick peak at the upcoming French national election. In the latest French Election Poll, no candidate has over 20% support. Incumbent president Emmanuel Macron is leading the way. The above table is minus 7 candidates all polling less than 2% in the latest poll. A chart of poll averages better explains what's happening. Poll Averages Macron (La République en Marche!) in Yellow is slowly slipping. The meteoric rise is by Valérie Pécresse (Les Républicains) in turquoise. Meet the Candidates  * Fabien Roussel (French Communist Party) * Jean-Luc Mélenchon (La France Insoumise) * Anne Hidalgo (Socialist Party) * Arnaud Montebourg (L'Engagement) * Yannick Jadot (Europe Écologie) * Emmanuel Macron (La République en Marche!) * Valérie Pécresse (Les Républicains) * Nicolas Dupont-Aignan (Debout la France) * Marine Le Pen (National Rally) * Éric Zemmour (Reconquête) Marine Le Pen changed her party name from National Front to National Rally. That did not seem to help her any. How the French Election Works * The people of France elect their President every five years. * Contenders must, among other things, be nominated by at least 500 elected representatives (e.g. mayors, deputies). * Starting April 10, there is an upper limit on spending which is monitored by a committee. * Once the official campaign has begun, each candidate must have strictly the same amount of airtime on TV and radio. * April 23 is the 1st round of the election. The French people go to the polls: if no candidate wins over 50% of the vote, a second round is organized. * The second round is on May 7. Only the two candidates with the most votes qualify for the 2nd round. * The candidate with the absolute majority of votes cast is elected. Blank or spoilt votes are not taken into account.  The above condensed from French Election Process, in English.   What's Going On? France 24 reports Conservative Pécresse looks to establish herself as the ‘only threat’ to Macron. The only candidate to have edged Emmanuel Macron in any poll for the all-important second round of the French presidential election, Valérie Pécresse has enjoyed surging ratings since she won the conservative Les Républicains party primary in early December. Analysts say Pécresse poses a formidable threat to the president as she targets his voters on the centre ground of French politics. For much of Macron’s term France expected – and did not want – a replay of the 2017 Macron vs. Le Pen duel in the 2022 presidential election second round. In this landscape, traditional conservatives Les Républicains (LR) looked trapped in a constricted political space between President Macron and the Rassemblement National's Marine Le Pen, then unassailable as the far-right’s standard-bearer. But new developments have changed the dynamic. As political scientist Jérôme Jaffré put it, just like Eric Zemmour “shook” Le Pen by outflanking her on the extreme right, Pécresse is “shaking” Macron as she encroaches on his territory – the far more vote-rich centre ground.  Pécresse has imposed herself as a major threat to Macron in the second round – as demonstrated by an Elabe survey in early December showing her beating him in the runoff, amid a polling surge after her LR primary triumph. That Elabe poll was like an “electric shock”, an anonymous figure close to Macron told Le Journal de Dimanche. “One of the biggest threats posed by Pécresse is her party’s ability to wage an electoral ground war,” Shields said. “LR remains a formidable campaigning machine with a deeply embedded presence across the towns, departments and regions of France and a newly energised and expanded membership. This contrasts with Macron, Le Pen and Zemmour, none of whom have anything like the same capacity to mount an extensive ground campaign and rally grassroots support across the country.” Far Right Split Marine Le Pan and Éric Zemmour are battling for the far right vote, splintering both of them. The latest polls have their combined effort at about 27%. The poll averages have them closer to a combined 30%. That's more than Macron but it's not enough to win a French election even if you magically could combine the two. Why? All the socialists, communists, greens, etc., would hold their noses and vote for Macron in a two-way runoff. What About Macron vs. Pécresse? Macron has more support but it's not very deep. The far-right candidates may easily prefer Pécresse to Macron. And what about the female vote? All things considered, I suspect Pécresse would beat Macron in a two-way runoff if the election was held now.  But the election isn't now. It will be held in April-May.  French politicians have a way of flaming out and the public often finds a way to back the most leftist candidate in the final pair. But the Right sometimes wins and that's my bet right now in the May round 2 runoff. *  *  * Like these reports? If so, please Subscribe to MishTalk Email Alerts. Tyler Durden Tue, 12/28/2021 - 05:00

US B-2 Bomber Caught Mid-Flight On Google Earth

US B-2 Bomber Caught Mid-Flight On Google Earth A Redditor has revealed a Google maps image that shows a Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit stealth bomber mid-flight over farm fields in the US Midwest.  The image was recently published on Reddit and had more than 111 thousand upvotes.  Thousands of Redditors commented on the image. Some said the $2 billion price tag per bomber is outrages considering it can't hide from Google Earth.  The three-decade-old bomber maintains an impressive lethal record. We were able to pinpoint where the bomber was caught on satellite footage near Whiteman Air Force Base (current home of the B-2 fleet).  Here's what some Redditors had to say about the B-2 in action. "More like a photo bomber," said user RandyGareth. ZebrasFuckedMyWife said, "Not so stealthy now, are ya?"  "That stealth tech is overrated. I can totally see it," another user said.  Netizens and air observers should be on the lookout for the B-21 Raider, a new long-range stealth bomber that is expected to debut in early 2022 and replace the B-2.  If you want to review the B-2 on Google Earth, enter coordinates 39 01 18.5N 93 35 40.5W.

The $1 Pizza Slice Is Rapidly Vanishing From Manhattan

The $1 Pizza Slice Is Rapidly Vanishing From Manhattan Just like when Dollar Tree was forced to 'Break the Buck' by raising prices on some goods past the titular $1 mark, another "milestone" has been reached as inflationary pressures drive prices of everything - but especially food - higher. The NY Times reported Tuesday that a growing number of Manhattan's $1 cheese pizza slice vendors. For many, that price has held for two decades due to the fiercely competitive nature of the Manhattan market, even where the economics have long since put a stop to $1 slices. Because of its durability over the years, the dollar slice has - for some - become a symbol of the strangely egalitarian life of being a New Yorker, where billionaires, homeless men, students and construction workers are all thrown in together, and where almost everybody at times resorts to a cheap slice on the go. The owner of the 2 Bros' chain, Mohammad Abdul, is now reportedly agonizing over whether to raise prices for the first time since opening in 2001. For those who are unfamiliar with 2 Bros', it's the biggest player in the $1 slice market, and its shops are visible across the borough. Interestingly, the city's dollar-slice culture really "took off" after the 2008 financial crisis. The situation for the dollar-slice joints is further complicated by the fact that pizza-related businesses have been hugely successful during the pandemic. But the inflation situation has created problems in the lowest-cost vendors, some of whom have closed up shop. As we reported, the pace of inflation was the fastest in November than it has been in decades, with the headline CPI number surpassing 6%. And restaurant prices in the New York area last month saw prices rise at the fastest rate since 1987. The NYT goes on to explain that inflationary pressures have fallen especially hard on pizza vendors. A severe drought in parts of the US and Canada decimated wheat crops, driving up flour prices. And worker shortages at meat-processing plants led to higher prices for pepperoni. Pizzeria owners buying canned tomatoes from Italy or red chile flakes from India also face higher shipping costs, in many cases being passed on by wholesalers. A surge in demand for packaging materials, plus a lapse in production from the winter freeze in Texas early this year, has also caused prices on packaging materials, napkins, paper plates and plastic cutlery to surge. A winter freeze in Texas earlier this year curtailed the production of resin, a raw ingredient in plastic straws and packaging materials like shrink wrap. And in perhaps the biggest shortage of all for pizzerias, reliance on food delivery during the pandemic prompted a surge in demand and increased prices for pizza boxes, paper plates and takeout containers. One point of relief is that prices for processed cheese, typically the biggest food cost for any pizzeria, have actually fallen. The average block cheese prices are down from last year’s unusually high peaks. Cheese prices have been for years propped up by government subsidies to help dairy producers. But the Department of Agriculture is already forecasting that prices will rise next year. Because of the stable cheese prices, 2 Bros is still charging $1 for a cheese slice at six of its nine locations. But newer stores have raised prices to $1.50. So far, these businesses have survived during the pandemic largely due to discounted rents from landlords. Rents for residential properties have come roaring back already this year. Commercial rents (like those needed by $1 slice businesses) have been the hardest hit. How much longer until these pressures finally make the $1 slice extinct? Tyler Durden Sun, 12/26/2021 - 20:00

TikTok Moderators Sue After Being "Traumatized" By Content

TikTok Moderators Sue After Being "Traumatized" By Content Back in July, a band of former Facebook content moderators rebelled against Zuck & Co., proclaiming that they would seek to invalidate NDAs that Facebook forces all its content moderators to sign so they don't squeal to the press about the freakshow of mayhem and debauchery that they're subjected to every day while reviewing flagged content that can include depictions of sexual abuse, violence, murder torture and mayhem (remember the Christchurch video?) and - of course - politically incorrect content and news stories, often with a conservative slant. "No NDA can lawfully prevent us from speaking out about our working conditions," the FB workers said at the time. While TikTok has become most closely associated with teenage wannabe prostitutes shaking their assets for views, there are other indications that the Chinese-designed app might be intentionally working to corrupt the youth of America. As we reported, the app has already been slammed for feeding depictions of drug use, sex, porn, kinks and other topics that might unsettle parents to children as young as 13. All the while, Beijing has limited use of the Chinese version of the app to just 40 minutes a week for the youth of China. Now, fresh off TikTok being named the most dominant social media platform of the year, it appears their content moderators have learned from their comrades at Facebook - comrades, who, lets remember, technically worked for third-party contractors whom FB hires to handle the content moderation - that they might be able to make a quick buck by suing the social media giants for psychic damage accrued while performing content moderation duties, often while working as contractors with little job security and few benefits. To wit, the Verge reported that a TikTok content mod named Candie Frazier has filed a class-action lawsuit in the California Central District Court alleging that TikTok-owner ByteDance and its contractors "failed to meet industry standards intended to mitigate the harms of content moderation. These include offering moderators more frequent breaks, psychological support, and technical safeguards like blurring or reducing the resolution of videos. TikTok and its contractors closely monitor the time moderators spend moderating videos, effectively forcing workers to keep their eyes on an overwhelming orgy of debauchery for long hours with few breaks. This has led to workers being "traumatized" by the content they're supposed to be moderating, according to the lawsuit. In a proposed class-action lawsuit filed in the California Central District Court, Candie Frazier says she spent 12 hours a day moderating videos uploaded to TikTok for a third-party contracting firm named Telus International. In that time, Frazier says she witnessed “thousands of acts of extreme and graphic violence,” including mass shootings, child rape, animal mutilation, cannibalism, gang murder, and genocide. Frazier says that in order to deal with the huge volume of content uploaded to TikTok daily, she and her fellow moderators had to watch between three and ten videos simultaneously, with new videos loaded in at least every 25 seconds. Moderators are only allowed to take one 15 minute break in the first four hours of their shift, and then additional 15 minute breaks every two hours afterwards. The lawsuit says ByteDance monitors performance closely and “heavily punishes any time taken away from watching graphic videos.” […] As a result of her work, Frazier says she has suffered “severe psychological trauma including depression and symptoms associated with anxiety and PTSD.” The lawsuit says Frazier has “trouble sleeping and when she does sleep, she has horrific nightmares. She often lays awake at night trying to go to sleep, replaying videos that she has seen in her mind. She has severe and debilitating panic attacks.” Frazier claims in her suit that she has screened videos involving freakish cannibalism, crushed heads, school shootings, suicides, and even a fatal fall from a building, complete with audio. Content moderators are critical to helping some of the world's most profitable companies continue to stay in business. Frazier's lawsuit was filed by the Cali-based Joseph Saveri Law Firm, which previously filed a similar lawsuit back in 2018 against Facebook on behalf of moderators. That case resulted in a $52M settlement paid by the social media giant. So, it looks like Frazier has picked well. Tyler Durden Sat, 12/25/2021 - 20:00

Defiance Grows In Face Of Another COVID Christmas

Defiance Grows In Face Of Another COVID Christmas Most of us probably thought, or at the very least hoped, that Christmas 2020 was going to be a one-off - a festive period which for many was devoid of the usual social gatherings and traditions we look forward to and treasure. Alas, as Statista's Martin Armstrong notes, here we are in December 2021 with Covid cases in a large number of countries rising drastically and many people facing renewed restrictions or even another dose of full lockdown. As a survey conducted by Statista in early November shows though, there is a rising defiance in the United States and United Kingdom to not let Christmas be "cancelled" this time round. You will find more infographics at Statista Although the measures which their respective governments may implement is a fluid situation, around 30 percent of respondents said that they are not planning on giving up any of their Christmas traditions or activities in 2021 - a stark rise compared to the roughly 15 percent recorded by Statista in both countries last time around.

Beijing Influence Expands After Solomon Islands Accepts Chinese Offer For Riot Police Help

Beijing Influence Expands After Solomon Islands Accepts Chinese Offer For Riot Police Help In the latest Asia-Pac domino piece to quietly fall in China's favor on Christmas eve, Chinese police officers and equipment will soon be sent to Solomon Islands to help defuse months of civil unrest, a move that is already causing anxiety for Australian officials.  Honiara was placed into lockdown after the protests last month.(ABC News: Chrisnrita Aumanu-Leong). Help keep family & friends informed by sharing this article On Thursday Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare's besieged government announced it would accept Beijing's offer of assistance to strengthen its anti-riot policing capabilities, Australia's ABC News reported.  In a statement, the government said it was "mindful of the urgent need to strengthen Royal Solomon Islands Police Force capability and capacity to respond to future unrest". "The government has agreed to accept the Peoples' Republic of China's offer of riot equipment and six Police Liaison Officers to equip and train Royal Solomon Islands Police Force with the skill sets complimenting ongoing training received under existing bilateral assistance," it said. Last month we reported that 73 Australian Federal Police and 43 Australian Defence Force personnel were dispatched to the troubled Pacific nation following days of rioting against Sogavare's government. A decision by Solomon Islands to switch diplomatic allegiances from Taiwan to China in 2019 is one of the factors blamed for unhappiness with the Pacific nation's government.  Sogavare has blamed "external factors" for the recent unrest in his country and the Premier of Malaita Province, Daniel Suidani, has been outspoken in his opposition to the national government's decision to back Beijing rather than Taipei. Following November's riots, the federal government was relieved that the first call for help came to Canberra, rather than Beijing, but Prime Minister Scott Morrison insisted Australia was taking no part in "internal issues of the Solomon Islands". Defense and diplomatic sources have told the ABC they believe Solomon Islands is the first government in the Pacific to accept this level of Chinese help specifically for anti-riot for domestic policing, and there are concerns more assistance will be sought from Beijing in the future. Over recent days Australia's police-led deployment to Solomon Islands has been gradually reduced, but 40 AFP members, 15 ADF personnel and three Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) staff remain there. In a statement, a spokesperson for DFAT said it was aware that China was sending reinforcements. "Australia, together with our Pacific family partners Fiji, Papua New Guinea and New Zealand, responded swiftly and effectively to the 25 November request from Solomon Islands government to help Royal Solomon Islands Police Force (RSIPF) restore calm in Honiara following civil unrest," the spokesperson said. "Since that time, Australia and Pacific family partners have successfully supported the RSIPF to maintain a stable and calm situation. "We are aware of China’s expected engagement in the security sector in Honiara. This is a matter for the Solomon Islands government." For China's part, the country's Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said Beijing was helping Solomon Islands respond to "grave" anti-government riots: "At the request of the government of Solomon Islands, China will provide a batch of emergency riot equipment for the police and send an ad-hoc police advisory team," he told reporters on Thursday. "The Chinese supplies and personnel will arrive in Solomon Islands soon and are expected to play a constructive role in enhancing the ability of the Solomon Islands police. "China firmly supports the government of Solomon Islands in defending the country's stability, resolutely safeguards the relations between China and Solomon Islands and the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese citizens there, and strongly condemns any illegal and violent action." The Australian government is yet to directly respond to Solomon Islands' decision to accept Chinese policing assistance. Tyler Durden Fri, 12/24/2021 - 20:00

Netherlands Goes Nuclear In Massive Atomic Humanist Victory!

Netherlands Goes Nuclear In Massive Atomic Humanist Victory! Authored by Michael Shellenberger via Substack, Dutch government will keep existing nuclear plant operating AND build two more full-sized water-cooled plants... Dilan Yeşilgöz-Zegerius (left) State Secretary for Economic Affairs and Climate and Mark Rutte (right) prime minister) Four years ago, the conventional wisdom in Europe was that the continent was transitioning to renewable energies. The cost of electricity from solar panels, wind turbines, and natural gas had declined significantly, and lithium batteries could soon replace natural gas to provide energy when the sun wasn’t shining and the wind wasn’t blowing. And, held the consensus view, nuclear energy was going away; the main question was how soon existing nuclear plants could be dismantled. Today, the conventional wisdom has changed radically. Energy and electricity prices are at record levels due to Europe’s over-reliance on renewables, inadequate supplies of nuclear energy, and shortages of oil and gas due to under-investment in oil and gas exploration and production. Carbon emissions in Germany rose 25% in the first half of 2020 due in large part to a 25% decline in wind, underscoring the unreliable nature of weather-dependent renewables. In response, both France and Britain have promised a major expansion of nuclear energy. Not everything has changed. Both Germany and Belgium are moving full speed ahead with plans to shut down their nuclear power plants, and both nations, along with Austria and Switzerland, are lobbying to exclude nuclear energy from the list of energy technologies the European Union will categorize as sustainable. At the same time, former German Chancellor Angela Merkel said recently that she believes the EU will nonetheless count nuclear as sustainable in its taxonomy, resistance is growing in both Germany and Belgium to closing nuclear plants, and a new YouGov poll finds that over half of Germans say nuclear should remain part of their nation’s climate policy. The strongest evidence yet that the conventional wisdom has changed came earlier this month from the Netherlands. Its government announced that it will not only keep its existing nuclear power plant operating but also build two additional ones. To signal its seriousness, the government has allocated €5 billion for new plant construction. “We did a market consultation recently,” the Netherlands’ State Secretary for Economic Affairs and Climate, Dilan Yeşilgöz-Zegerius, told me yesterday, “and parties are definitely interested.” Dutch pro-nuclear activists were ecstatic. “All year there was the suggestion that the government would merely be launching more ‘research’ into the role of nuclear,” said Joris Van Dorp, co-founder of the Nuclear Pride Coalition, “but now they have gone all the way by putting up the money needed to actually realize projects.” The transformation of public opinion and conventional wisdom in the Netherlands is striking. “Four years ago, RePlanet Nederland was the only civilian movement to speak out in favor of nuclear energy,” said Olguita Oudendijk, director of the pro-nuclear NGO, “and we were excluded from the Climate Agreement negotiations.” Fast-forward four years later, and the demands of RePlanet, formerly known as the Ecomodernisme Foundation, are at the center of government climate and energy policy. Explained Yeşilgöz-Zegerius, “Since my party, the VVD, started the discussion on nuclear energy at the end of 2018, there has been growing support for nuclear energy amongst Dutch people. While some political parties like the Greens still try to tackle climate change with ideology rather than rationality, other political parties have changed their views, based on the facts, rather than ideology. If everything goes well, the new plants will be ready by 2035.” What happened? Why did a once-marginal cause, pro-nuclear environmentalism, move from the margins to the center of Dutch energy policy? Why did facts trump ideology? The answers to those questions matter not just to people who care about Europe, energy, and climate change, but to anybody who is interested in how social change really happens. *  *  * Michael Shellenberger is a Time Magazine "Hero of the Environment,"Green Book Award winner, and the founder and president of Environmental Progress.

China Gives Celebrities & Social Media Influencers 10 More Days To Pay Taxes Owed

China Gives Celebrities & Social Media Influencers 10 More Days To Pay Taxes Owed Beijing has been busy in recent days preparing to implement President Xi Jinping's "Common Prosperity" agenda by shaking down social media influencers and China's biggest tech firms alike for contributions to the fund Xi is apparently raising to finance more economy-boosting projects in rural areas. As we reported the other day, Beijing just fined one of the country's top streaming stars $210M and accused her of concealing income booked in 2019 and 2020. And just last night, it was reported that Tencent is being essentially forced to distribute $16 billion of shares from its holdings in JD.com to shareholders after getting the tap from the CCP that it's time to share some of its winnings, and also give up some control as the CCP fundamentally hopes to weaken the power held by individual tech firms and the billionaire founders who control them. And now, tax authorities in Beijing and Shanghai are reminding social media influencers and anyone else in danger of being targeted by tax authorities that they have 10 more days to pay what they owe, or face severe punishment. The notice explicitly addresses "celebrities, internet influencers" and others who now find themselves in Beijing's sights. Authorities published the warning in a notice, the SCMP reports. "Celebrities, internet influencers and other public figures should strictly comply with tax regulations even more," the notice said. "Those refusing to self-assess their [tax obligation] or who have done so incorrectly will be severely punished by the tax bureau in accordance with the laws and regulations." Some well-known influencers have publicly come forward to give tax money back under Beijing's amnesty program, which will be in place through the end of the year, while publishing apologies for misguidedly withholding the money, and praising the government's "common prosperity" agenda. Others have come forward to deny rumors that they have been evading taxes. Actress Qi Wei, 37, who is managed by the same influencer talent company as Viya, the influencer who was hit with the $210M fine, issued a statement on Weibo Tuesday saying the rumors that she had also evaded taxes were false. Did she not get the hint that Beijing doesn't really care how much they already paid - only that right now, it's the wealthy's turn to pony up. Tyler Durden Thu, 12/23/2021 - 22:15

The Market's Message: "The Fed Will Go Too Far [To Slow Inflation] & Break Something"

The Market's Message: "The Fed Will Go Too Far [To Slow Inflation] & Break Something" "We are in a strange time in the bond market," warns veteran market strategist Jim Bianco, as he prepared to unleash a tweet-thread-torrent of education for many market-watchers who just don't seem to get the message the market is screaming (or perhaps would rather not). Since early November's FOMC statement unveiled the much-anticipated taper (and that since then the Powell Pivot and another FOMC statement), the timing and trajectory of Fed rate-hikes has escalated seriously... However, the founder of Bianco Research explained in his tweet that there is "lots of misreading of [the market's] message - what the market is pricing what seems to be an outlier." Full tweet-thread below: Daly and Waller are making news talking about a March hike. Why? That is what is already priced in! Hikes are now priced for March, June and Dec. 3rd hike in Nov (47%) and a 4th hike in Feb 23 (40%) are close. This is a rare period that the table above is not the middle of the consensus, but instead an outlier. The consensus continues to argue/rationalize why this hiking schedule is too aggressive. [ZH: even if it is less hawkish than the Fed's Dot-Plot] My view the market gets what it wants, one way or another. Another misread is the terminal funds rate. The mkt is putting it around 1.75% The Fed is good at hiking too much until something breaks. What this table above and this chart say is the 4 rate hikes expected in the next 14 months might be enough to start breaking things. Regarding the 10-year yield not rising, it is not an inflation signal, never has been. It is a "break something" signal, always has been. Let's go back to 2004 - 2006. The Fed hiked 17 times in 17 meetings. 10-year was unchanged over this period and the curve inverted. The market correctly saw the Fed was going to go too far and break something. When the curve inverted, it signaled "now too far." A few months later, home prices peaked and a year later the GFC followed. It "only" took a funds rate of 5.5% to break things. 1998 - 2000 again the Fed was hiking, and 10-year rates went sideways. Greenspan was honest, goal was to "break" the stock market bubble. Mission accomplished, and a recession in Mar 01. Hikes started at 20 bps curve, only took 4 rate hikes to invert and signal "break." The last hiking cycle was more of the same, the Fed hiked to 2.38%, 10-yr went sideways, the Fed went too far and broke the repo market in Sept 2019. The curve inverted to signal "too far." Only took, 2.38%. A recession followed but, yes, we don't know the counterfactual. 10-yr signals the breaking point, not inflation. The yield curve is what matters, inversion means too far. The curve is very flat before the first hike, and the lowest ever mkt priced terminal rate (1.75%) Message, 4 or so hikes (to 1.75%-ish) should break something. The Fed does not have a choice, inflation is out the bag, and is killing the majority party (D). They have to respond, and they will go too far and break something. This is the market message. [ZH: In fact, the market has already indicated an approximate timing for when the "break" might happen, signaling a rate-cut some time shortly after 2023...] [ZH: And, of course, none of this should come as a surprise to anyone. As we detailed previously, every Fed tightening cycle ends in a crisis...] *  *  * Bianco was not done with us though: Bonus #1 The public think inflation is problem #1, ahead of COVID. Fed said they have the tools to remove unwanted inflation. Have to use them. Fox Business Poll: Voters think Biden is making inflation worse A new Fox Business poll finds that twice as many think the Biden administration is doing more harm than good.https://www.foxnews.com/politics/voters-think-biden-making-inflation-worse Bonus #2 For the first time since Jimmy Carter was in the White House a political party is demanding the Fed get hawkish. What would cause a politician to demand higher rates? Abject panic over what inflation does to the 2022 midterms! Tyler Durden Thu, 12/23/2021 - 05:00

Russia & US Agree To Security Talks On NATO Expansion, Set For January

Russia & US Agree To Security Talks On NATO Expansion, Set For January Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov announced Wednesday that negotiations between Moscow and the US and NATO are expected to begin in January, days following Russia's submission of a draft 'security guarantees' document to each, which is aimed at jumpstarting negotiations toward a permanent de-escalation of tensions.  The Kremlin is seeking legally binding guarantees that NATO would halt all eastward expansion. "It is agreed that at the very start of next year bilateral contact between American negotiators and ours will become the first round [of talks]," Lavrov said, according to Reuters. NATO tank drills, via FT The Biden administration seems have given credence to Lavrov's statement, with on Tuesday the US Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Karen Donfried describing that officials from both governments were in communication to "decide on a date"... "likely" for January. "There are some things that we’re prepared to work on and that we do believe that there’s merit in having a discussion," said Donfried, while also being among the earliest Washington officials to weigh in on Russia's written proposals: "There are other things in those documents that the Russians know will be unacceptable." The US and Russian militaries also continued their deconfliction talks Wednesday by phone, following a series of calls sparked by the fresh diplomatic standoff over Ukraine, which involves the West accusing Russia of readying a military offensive... "The phone call is a continuation of communication between both leaders to ensure risk reduction and operational de-confliction. In accordance with past practice, both have agreed to keep the specific details of their conversation private," the U.S. military said of that exchange. NATO HQ in Brussels has also reportedly signaled that negotiations are set to begin next year. General war-footing rhetoric has only grown in the past days as both sides look for a way the climb down the escalation ladder... CrowdStrike co-founder is convinced that Russia will invade Ukraine, just as has firm was convinced within one day that Russia hacked & stole DNC emails*, right after his Clinton campaign client enlisted Chris Steele. His convictions have been highly consequential, & profitable. https://t.co/ZvJuH7IzAi — Aaron Maté (@aaronjmate) December 22, 2021 Early this week Kremlin officials urged NATO and US officials that time is of the essence in terms of a quick response to Russia's request for immediate dialogue over the security concerns - this also coming off the recent Biden-Putin virtual summit wherein the US president appeared to be open to such a dialogue. But Moscow has since warned that should the West shut the door on Moscow's overtures in the form of this security document, Russia must resort to escalation to protect its sovereignty and interests. This includes Russia holding out the threat of deployment of new weapons systems near Ukraine. But Washington has countered with its own threat of mulling imposing strict export controls on Russia targeting key items like auto parts and smartphones. Tyler Durden Thu, 12/23/2021 - 02:45

Alex Berenson Sues Twitter, Says Company Acted 'On Behalf' Of Biden Administration

Alex Berenson Sues Twitter, Says Company Acted 'On Behalf' Of Biden Administration Former NY Times reporter and author (check out those five-star reviews), Alex Berenson has taken Twitter to court, after the social media giant banned him from their platform after he suggested that the Covid-19 vaccine was 'at best - a therapeutic with a limited window of efficacy and terrible side effect profile..." In a 70-page complaint filed on Monday in the Northern District of California, Berenson accused Twitter of violating his First Amendment rights, and claims that a Twitter executive assured him on multiple occasions that he would be free to express his opinions on the platform without fear of punishment. "Despite the controversy around his statements, a senior Twitter executive repeatedly assured Mr. Berenson that the company backed his right to free expression and that he would continue to enjoy access to the platform," reads the complaint. Berenson also argues that Twitter was acting on behalf of the Biden administration by censoring his content, specifically that he has a "a uniquely viable claim that Twitter acted on behalf of the federal government in censoring and barring him from to its platform." The ban came just days after Biden administration officials - as well as Biden himself - called for a crackdown on Covid-19 misinformation on social media. According to the complaint, Twitter is subject to a California law which applies to "common carriers," a provision which dates back to 1872 and regulates companies that "offer to the public to carry persons, property, or messages." His lawyers argue that the "courts have repeatedly applied the 1872 law to telephone companies and other technologies that did not exist at the time it was enacted." Responding to Twitter lawyers, Berenson laid out why his suit has legs in a Tuesday blog post: * * * So over on Twitter, one of America’s Finest Legal Scholars (TM) is taking time out from his busy practice to rebut the complaint pro malo. He must have a lot to do because he’s spent most of the last day on this; I wonder which client he’s billing, or if he’s “between clients” at the moment. Anyway, you can tell he’s a serious guy because he throws up memes with every tweet! Just like Brandeis. What’s fascinating is that despite his endless tweets, he somehow has not managed to grasp one of the core arguments - simple in theory, though complex in its details - that the complaint raises. For those of you who have neither the time nor the inclination to wade through the argument, it goes like this: * Twitter is indisputably a messenger service. A longstanding California law regulates messenger services as “common carriers.” This means that they must accept all messages they receive. Twitter thus must accept all tweets it receives. It has no First Amendment rights to refuse them on the basis that it does not agree with them. * A federal law commonly called Section 230 “preempts” the California law, giving Twitter the right to reject tweets or ban users. (Whether that right is universal or whether Twitter must act in “good faith” in restricting service is a separate question; whether Twitter acted in “good faith” in this case is still another question. But put those issues aside for the moment.) * Section 230 is what enables Twitter to claim a First Amendment privilege that supersedes the California law and restrict my own First Amendment right to speak; thus federal courts have the right to review 230 on First Amendment grounds. Eugene Volokh, who is a top constitutional scholar, was among the first people to raise this possibility. If you want to know more about about the argument, you can find it here: https://reason.com/volokh/2021/01/23/might-federal-preemption-of-speech… * Defenders of Twitter and other social media behemoths have successfully confused courts and lawmakers about the distinction between Twitter the company and Twitter the platform. Under the First Amendment, Twitter the company is of course free to say whatever it likes - on its platform, in ads, through lobbyists, or anywhere else. * But Twitter the platform should be open to all under California law; and even if the courts find that Section 230’s preemption of California law is consistent with the First Amendment and allows Twitter the company to set rules on who can use the platform, those rules cannot be completely arbitrary or discriminatory. * Twitter itself acknowledges this fact in explaining its rules, and acknowledged it further in creating its “five-strike” policy around Covid-19 “misinformation.” Twitter is legally liable for failing to follow its own rules and contractual obligations in my case. * The complaint has many other factual and legal arguments; I’m not going to go into them here. I am also not going to pull back even further and walk through exactly why the Section 230 as it has been interpreted is so dangerous - that’s an broader argument that belongs in an op-ed for a major newspaper (in the unlikely event they’ll have me). But I hope this helps everyone understand the complaint a little better. Tyler Durden Wed, 12/22/2021 - 19:20

EU Sets 9-Month Expiration Date For Vaccine Passports

EU Sets 9-Month Expiration Date For Vaccine Passports COVID case numbers are already starting to decline in southern Africa, seen as the epicenter of the omicron explosion, but that hasn't stopped the EU from further tightening restrictions related to travel. Because according to Reuters, the European Commission on Tuesday agreed to new rules that will make the EU's COVID vaccine travel passport (what they call a "travel certificate") will be valid for nine months after the completion of the "primary vaccination schedule" - which right now only includes the first two doses. The new rules will be binding for all 27 member states starting Feb. 1. The decision, made by the bloc's governing commission, which has purview over issues related to intra-bloc travel, comes just as Germany's Robert Koch Institute, the primary source of public health policy, recommended on Tuesday that "maximum contact restrictions" should be imposed, starting immediately, to combat a looming tide of infections caused by this latest winter wave (to which the new omicron variant is now contributing). As for the new EU-wide travel rules, they will replace a non-binding recommendation the EU Commission put forward in November. Also, it's worth pointing out that the nine month timeline leaves the door open for the EU to require boosters, potentially as often as every six or nine months. Interestingly enough, Reuters also pointed out that travel measures restricting intra-bloc travel being imposed by a smattering of individual member states are helping to undermine the authority of the EU Commission. But the pass does leave room for governments to impose restrictions on indoor events and activities within their respective territories. Still, once the new rule is in place, EU member states will in theory be obliged to let fully vaccinated travelers with a valid pass access their territory. Though they still could - as an exception justified by a deteriorating situation - impose further requirements, such as negative tests or quarantines, as long as they are proportionate.

Movies & Music Are The Most 'Essential' Part Of An American Christmas; Survey

Movies & Music Are The Most 'Essential' Part Of An American Christmas; Survey While every family celebrates Christmas a little differently, each with its own sets of customs and traditions, as Statista's Felix Richter notes, there are things that most celebrants can agree on, things that are considered essential for a Merry Christmas. According to Statista's GCS 2021 Holiday Special, Christmas music is topping the list of holiday must-haves. 49 percent of Americans consider the right tunes an essential part of the holiday season, the question of which Christmas songs are "the right ones" notwithstanding. Christmas movies, think “Home Alone”, “Love Actually” and (to some) “Die Hard”, are another key ingredient to the holiday season with 46 percent of Americans calling them an essential tradition. You will find more infographics at Statista When asked about what they are looking forward to most thinking about the holiday season, Americans show that community and family still beat the commercial aspects of the holidays. 64 percent of the respondents look forward to spending time with friends and family, making it the top answer by far. Interestingly Americans also prefer giving presents over receiving them, showing that not all is lost for Christmas romantics. Tyler Durden Tue, 12/21/2021 - 22:00

Stunning COVID Data From Denmark (But Not For The Reason You've Been Told)

Stunning COVID Data From Denmark (But Not For The Reason You've Been Told) Authored by Alex Berenson via 'Unreported Truths' substack, The Danes are now publishing extremely detailed daily data about Covid cases and hospitalizations - not just about Omicron, but all Covid variants. And, in news that will surprise precisely no one who has been alive the last two years, they paint a picture entirely different than what the media claims. Omicron - which continues to appear significantly less dangerous though more transmissible than earlier variants of Covid - has been used as a cover for vaccine failure. Most new Covid cases in Denmark occur in people who are vaccinated or boosted - and that is true for both Omicron and earlier variants. More than 76 percent of non-Omicron Covid infections in Denmark are in vaccinated people, along with about 90 percent of Omicron infections. Further, only 25 of the 561 people currently hospitalized in Denmark for Covid have the Omicron variant. The Danes do not provide an exact number for patients in intensive care with Omicron, saying only that it is fewer than five. Perhaps the most stunning fact about Omicron and Denmark is that its rise actually parallels a marked slowdown in the growth of Danish hospitalizations and intensive care patients. Those rose roughly fivefold between mid-October and late November, as the Danes left the happy vaccine valley. Since then they have barely budged, rising about 20 percent. Danish Covid hospitalizations over the last three months: note that the rise predates Omicron. The Danish data also show that people with Omicron are both less likely to be hospitalized than those with other variants and released from the hospital much more quickly - in line with what South African health authorities have reported. On Friday, for example, the Danes reported that the total number of hospital patients with Omicron since the epidemic began reached 77, up by 20 patients from Thursday. But the number of Omicron patients currently hospitalized rose only by eight between Thursday and Friday, from 17 to 25. Thus 12 out of the 17 Omicron patients on Thursday appear to have been released overnight. Compared to Monday’s report, the trend is even more clear. The number of Omicron cases has roughly tripled, but the number of people hospitalized has barely budged, from 14 to 25. SOURCE: https://www.ssi.dk/-/media/cdn/files/covid19/omikron/statusrapport/rapp… https://www.ssi.dk/-/media/cdn/files/covid19/omikron/statusrapport/rapp… About the only reason for concern in any of the Danish data is that Omicron still appears to be preferentially infecting younger people - though not people under 15, who are more likely to be unvaccinated. Overall, though, the figures out of Denmark largely back those from South Africa - and make clear that the reason that Europe has seen a massive rise in cases and hospitalizations this fall has nothing to do with Omicron and everything to do with vaccine failure.
