Trump’s Tweets and China-Baiting Distracts from Fundamentally Poor US Economy

  • The question on most financial analysts’ minds this weekend: is Trump’s trade war with China triggering an economic downturn, thus increasing odds that the US economy will fall into recession?

Stocks fell rapidly on Wall Street at closing on Friday after Trump responded to China’s tariff threat against American imports – pushing the market to its fourth-straight week of losses.

Is Trump a Modern-Day Herbert Hoover?

By Stephen Lendman
Clearly, Hoover was world’s apart from Trump geopolitically, at war with no other nations, polar opposite how both extremist right wings of the US war party operate today. This article deals only with economic and financial issues.

Epstein Intersections:Robert Maxwell’s FBI File- Highly Redacted

Don't Be Surprised When the Jeffrey Epstein Smoke Clears

 You and I can count on the smoke to clear and the case to largely disappear.  Until next summer that is. When the case is set to pick up again- After the defense reviews the documents. When readership/viewership will fall away and the 5 eyes media will need to provide advertisers with numbers sufficient to charge exorbitant rates for services.  I'm somewhat doubtful that Mr Epstein is imprisoned at all. And, suspect the story of his injury in jail was provided as fodder for the masses to demonstrate he is incarcerated.
