‘MH17 Dutch investigators not interested in Russian side witnesses’

by

– ‘MH17 Dutch investigators not interested in Russian side witnesses’ (RT, June 3, 2015):

The main problem is that the official MH17 investigation doesn’t appear to be a truthful and honest one, Joost Niemoller, Dutch journalist and author of “MH17: The cover-up deal” told RT’s “In the Now.”

Russian investigators have released a video of a key witness into last summer’s MH17 tragedy, a Ukrainian air force mechanic named Evgeny Agapov who provided investigators with his testimony. Russian investigators say he voluntarily crossed into the country and was willing to cooperate with the investigation. He was given a lie detector test and is now under Russian government protection.

RT: What do you make of this Russian leak – they say they decided to reveal the witness following false reporting in the media about the MH17 crash. Is this an attempt to challenge reports that don’t fall in line with the Russian point of view?

With Greece and creditors unable to come to a compromise on a deal over the past several days, we’ve said repeatedly that despite claims to the contrary by Greek economy minister George Stathakis, Greece will not make Friday’s €300 million payment to the IMF and will instead request to have the payments bundled so as to buy PM Alexis Tsipras a few extra weeks to negotiate a deal and pass an agreement through parliament.

Indeed, we said the following on Sunday:

–  BOJ’s Kuroda “Believes He Should Fly”, Says Central Bankers Should Think Happy Thoughts (ZeroHedge, June 4, 2015):

In a world of central bankers gone Keynesian crazy, one man stands alone.

BoJ Governor Haruhiko Kuroda is running what is perhaps the greatest (or worst, depending on how one is predisposed to view centrally planned economies) monetary experiment in history.

True, Kuroda is monetizing the entirety of JGB gross issuance, stripping the market of liquidity and setting the stage for heightened volatility, (more) VaR shocks, and all manner of other central bank-induced aberrations in the process. But that’s par for the central banker course in today’s market.

IMF Panics – Slashes US Growth Forecasts, Demands Fed Stay On Hold For Another Year

by

– IMF Panics – Slashes US Growth Forecasts, Demands Fed Stay On Hold For Another Year (ZeroHedge, June 4, 2015):

Anxiety over financial stability and shadow banking risks appear to have force Christine Lagarde and her fellow extrapolators to hit the panic button:

IMF CUTS U.S. 2015 GROWTH FORECAST TO 2.5% FROM 3.1%, URGES FED TO DELAY FIRST RATE INCREASE UNTIL 1H 2016

Adding that they viewed the Dollar as “moderately overvalued” and any more appreciation would be “harmful,” it seems global disinflationary pressures have left the IMF no choice but to say publicly what everyone has uttered under their breath. Now Yellen is really cornered.. and just exactly how are the talking heads going to spin this as positive?

West Busted Supporting ISIS … Tries Instead to Point Finger At Syrian Government

America’s closest allies have been busted supporting ISIS in order to topple Syria’s government.  Mainstream U.S. writers are calling for open support of ISIS and Al Qaeda to enact regime change in Syria.

And a newly-declassified government document hints that the West supported the creation of ISIS.

This may sound far-fectched and wild-eyed  … But the following former high-level US and UK intelligence officials and whistleblowers confirm that the document implicates the West in the birth of ISIS:

FBI says privacy must take backseat to national security in online fight against ISIS

“The National Security Agency’s capability at any time could be turned around on the American people, and no American would have any privacy left, such is the capability to monitor everything: telephone conversations, telegrams, it doesn’t matter. There would be no place to hide. If a dictator ever took over, the N.S.A. could enable it to impose total tyranny, and there would be no way to fight back. “

– Tony Blair to head European council on anti-Semitism (RT, June 4, 2015):

Following his decision to stand down as the Quartet’s Middle East envoy, former Prime Minister Tony Blair has announced he is taking up the position of chairman of the European Council on Tolerance and Reconciliation (ECTR).

The council’s aim is to tackle prevailing anti-Semitism in European countries, ultimately making Holocaust denial a criminal offense, defining racism and anti-Semitism and paying for security at Jewish schools and synagogues.

In an article in the Times, Blair and new associate Moshe Kantor warned that Europe was at a “dangerous” turning point.

“We live in dangerous times. There have been three periods in the past hundred years when the annual GDP growth in Europe went below 1 percent: first in 1913, just before the First World War, second in 1938, just before the Second World War, and third in 2014.

One Of The World’s Largest Silver Miners Slams The CFTC About Silver Market Manipulation

by

“It occurs to me that such massive speculation in COMEX silver futures may not be in keeping with the spirit and intent of commodity law and may suggest something is wrong with the price discovery process, since real producers and consumers of silver don’t appear to be represented…. As one of the largest primary silver producers in the world, we feel that an effective and fair pricing mechanism is critical for the healthiness of our industry and for the millions of people impacted by what appears from the outside, to be manipulative practices by a concentration of players.”

–  One Of The World’s Largest Silver Miners Slams The CFTC About Silver Market Manipulation (ZeroHedge, June 3, 2015):

It has long been known to silver market watchers that when it comes to the price of paper silver, there has long been a chronic and extremely concentrated shorting presence at the Comex, one which the CFTC has persistently refused to address even though it consistently surpasses the proposed limits on derivative positions. Now, at long last, a Canadian silver miner, First Majestic Silver Corp., has decided to take the CFTC to task.

In a letter penned by Ted Butler to CFTC Chairman Tim Massad (who recently replaced former Goldmanite and future US Treasury Secretary, Gary Gensler), Keith Neumeyer, CEO of First Majestic, became the first primary silver producer to vocally highlight some of the questionable activity reported weekly in the CFTC’s Commitment of Traders report, specifically the “record position change of more than 28,200 net contracts of COMEX silver futures” the equivalent of 141 million ounces of silver and 61 days of world mine production. Incidentally, this was first observed here one week ago.

Goldman Sachs Rookie Analyst Almost Escaped Before Falling To His Death

– Goldman Sachs Rookie Analyst Almost Escaped Before Falling To His Death (Dark Bid, June 3, 2015):

Goldman-Sachs

From the early days of Zero Hedge in 2009 to Matt Taibbi’s 2010 critique, “The Great American Bubble Machine,” Goldman Sachs has been one of the all-time favorite punching bags in critical circles. It’s easy to imagine Tyler Durden in a Fight Club style brawl with Lloyd Blankfein, taunting him, “No bailouts this time.”

Taibbi called Goldman “a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity.” This time, their victim was Sarvshreshth Gupta, a rookie analyst just 22 years old from the University of Pennsylvania. Gupta was found dead in a parking lot next to his apartment building on the corner of Sacramento Street and Brooklyn Place in San Francisco. He apparently fell from the building.

After working 100 hours a week, he told his father, “This job is not for me.” In March, he quit. However, like the crazy woman in Fatal Attraction, Goldman was not going to be ignored. A week later, Goldman urged him to reconsider. His father encouraged him to return, and he did. Gupta was put on a reduced schedule (does 70 hours qualify as reduced?)

Coop stated last week that “Even if the (Swiss) Federal Office for Agriculture (BLW) judges glyphosate can be continued to be sold without a health hazard for the population, we decided on Monday 18th May to no longer sell any glyphosate-based products in Coop supermarkets and Coop Building & Hobby hardware stores.” It is a preventive measure. “…we don’t sell the concentrate, but only a very diluted form, the ready-made products. These concentrations are up to 48 times lower than the range used in agricultural products.”

Earlier this week, we brought you “A Cynical Look At Tim Cook’s Commencement Speech,” which outlined an LA Times piece that took aim at what one columnist suggested was a disingenuous (if standard) effort on the part of Apple’s CEO when he spoke to students at George Washington.

Today, we bring you a commencement speech for the real world.

“In effect, you are graduating with a mortgage but no house. And what did you get? A subprime education.” 

“To those who majored in gender studies, film deconstruction, or any other of today’s academic fads, to you I have this advice: when this commencement speech is over, do not bother looking for a job. Instead go straight to the unemployment office.”

“Graduates, you have been saddled with debt and bad ideas. Good luck, you’re going to need it.”
