NSA Spies on Congress

CapitolBldg
The NSA has been caught tapping the conversations of those on Capitol Hill talking with Israel. The Greenwald that the “NSA under President Obama targeted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his top aides for surveillance. In the process, the agency ended up eavesdropping on “the contents of some of their private conversations with U.S.” He notes that suddenly those who supported the NSA have a different tone when they realize that they have been the targets.

If you Need a Reason to Sell Britain – Try Cameron the New Closet Marxist

Cameron-Europe
Prime Minister David  Cameron is showing how politicians are really cross dressers. Just because he is the head of the Conservatives, does not mean he is really conservative. Cameron told the press that UNLESS the government can just start seizing money from people’s bank accounts it THINKS you might owe, he will have to raise everyone’s taxes.
“We have a choice here. If we don’t collect taxes properly and make sure people pay their taxes properly we look at the problems of having to raise tax rates. I don’t want to do that, so I support the changes the Chancellor set out in the Budget which is to really say that not paying your taxes is not acceptable.
“It is very clear that they can only do this if there is a debt of over £1,000, they can only do it if there’s £5,000 or more in the account after this has been completed. The general principle – do we want to pursue every avenue of making people pay their taxes they are meant to pay before we put up taxes, because that’s the alternative – absolutely, yes we do.”
Thatcher-Socialism
If anyone wonders why the pound might crash to dust, just listen to the proposals coming from Cameron and close your eyes; you will think it is the extreme left Marxist Labour Party. Cameron is betraying EVERYTHING that the word “conservative” ever meant. Britain is hopelessly going down the drain very fast.

UK-TaxesMeanwhile, British Home Secretary Defends Controversial Surveillance Bill, Says It Will Stop Cyber Bullies and Trolls. This is a total lie and is directed at tax revenue. Theresa May, claims there’s no reason to worry since the Investigatory Powers Bill would never be used just spying on citizens. Instead, it’ll help track down online bullies and trolls. This is in line with Cameron wanting to just seize money from ANYBritish account. They have had posters in London saying they are closing in on taxes. The Conservatives are liars for all these measures are directed at hunting money. Not people who “bully” others on Facebook of other social media.

Market Talk — January 4, 2016

Market-Talk
What a start to the New Year! Talk around the street voiced a few reasons for today’s stock market declines from geopolitical tensions between Saudi Arabia and Iran to additional dealing costs associated to playing the markets. Discussions are apparently underway across the globe to address market orders, the way in which orders are placed, the magnitude of such orders and the frequency. This, of course, will increase the volatility of prices (as market-makers withdraw) whilst at the same time lead exchanges to increasing margin requirement’s.
Chinese equities lost all bids with two exchange forced closes earlier today. The initial 5% forced the first close only to be closed the second time after the Index fell 7% – this time for the remainder of the day. The Nikkei opened the year over 1% lower and continued the selling throughout the rest of the day to close down 3% at 18,450. The futures have continued that decline and are currently trading around 18,150.
Europe opened weakly and remained so for the balance of the day. DAX closed -4.3%, FTSE -2.4%, and CAC -2.5%. In the U.S., we saw initial weakness across the board but all recovered in the final 30 minutes of trading.
The DOW, S&P, and NASDAQ all recovered to close at their days highs. All markets closed lower but a huge improvement in the final twenty minutes from their lows. DOW -2.1%; S&P -1.5%, and NASDAQ -2.1%.
Both gold and the bond markets saw the flight to quality bid with gold jumping $15 while bonds rallied 4BP across the curve. The spread between U.S./Germany closed around 166bp with U.S. 10s yielding 2.235 whilst German 10s closed 0.57%. This year, we should also follow the peripheral European bond market, so for point of fact we shall include 10yr Italy also; so tonight the BTP closed at 1.55%.
The U.S. dollar saw the bulk of the in-flow with the DXY (USD Index) closing up 0.25% at 98.95. The Turkish Lira was one of the EM currencies that suffered (amidst the market turmoil) closing down on the day almost 1.6% against the USD. GBP and Euro also lost ground but only a marginal 0.25%. A couple of other currencies to mention would be the BRL that lost 2% and the Polish Zloty that lost 1.2%.
