Statements, comments and forecasts that have no substance, but just might turn out to be relevant.
1. A look into the future: The dawn of next industrial revolution is on the horizon. 3-D printing using metal additives will once again re-shape economic priorities, reduce outsourcing and bring jobs back to America and developed nations. Stratfor: Additive manufacturing, more commonly known as 3-D printing, as well as intelligent industrial robotics and other software-based manufacturing technologies, are reducing the advantage of low labor costs. Eventually, they will fundamentally change how goods are made by enabling manufacturing to move closer to consumer markets and eliminating the need to search for cheap labor or produce and assemble parts in different locations away from the assembly plant. These changes will decrease trade in intermediate goods and components and lessen the need for physical inventories, shortening and simplifying global supply chains in the long run. COMMENT: Thats how one brings jobs back to America... Innovation!
2.The Panama Papers are an unprecedented leak of 11.5m files from the database of the world’s fourth biggest offshore law firm, Mossack Fonseca. Some of the largest banks in the world are involved and despite the minimal media coverage, sooner or later this event will rattle the political and economic world to the core. The world's biggest mafioso, corruption and politics inc. is about to be exposed. This will happen slowly as investigators dig in...but happen it will. COMMENT: An atmosphere of disquiet might just turn into a cold sweat as markets absorb the drizzle of info.
3.An opposition bid to impeach South African President Jacob Zuma was defeated in an April 5 parliamentary vote, Times Live reported. Lawmakers from Zuma's African National Congress party voted down the proposal 233 to 143. The move to impeach Zuma sprung from a March 31 ruling by the country's Constitutional Court in which the president was found guilty of not paying back public funds he used to renovate his private home. In 2014, an independent South African watchdog group found that Zuma had spent around $15 million to upgrade his home in Nkandla with expensive additions, including an amphitheater and a swimming pool. COMMENT: He needs a bigger home for his five wives and twenty something mistresses.
4.(Reuters) - Top Zika investigators now believe that the birth defect microcephaly and the paralyzing Guillain-Barre syndrome may be just the most obvious maladies caused by the mosquito-borne virus. Fueling that suspicion are recent discoveries of serious brain and spinal cord infections - including encephalitis, meningitis and myelitis - in people exposed to Zika. The newly suspected disorders can cause paralysis and permanent disability - a clinical outlook that adds urgency to vaccine development efforts. COMMENT: It looks like this virus is evolving.
5.According to Ray Bokhara senior adviser and director of the Center for Household Financial Stability at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, The wealth and income divide in the US is not 1%-99% but more like 25%-75%. The whole them versus us theme, which is infecting the current political conversation, needs to be a little bit better grounded in the actual data. The Federal Reserve of San Francisco published a book on the subject - What its Worth - http://www.strongfinancialfuture.org COMMENT: Compared to the run of the mill, manufactured from old foreskins type of establishment politicians - its unbelievable how much crap Bernie Saunders and Donald Trump sprout.
6.So when will Bernie Sanders apologize for stating that 10,000 "innocent Palestinians" were murdered by the IDF in the Gaza War? Jewish history is sprinkled with the Kapo type Jew who will say or do anything to justify their actions. Anybody remember Bruno Kreisky, Austrian Chancellor in the seventies?
7.Shurat Hadin: “We were surprised and shocked to read in the NY Daily News about the Rockefeller Brothers Fund’s support for so many organizations involved in the anti-Semitic boycott movement. It’s hard to understand how the children of such a distinguished father could allow their foundation's name to be involved in such racist and discriminatory activities,” said Shurat HaDin founder Nitsana Darshan-Leitner. Apparently these folk are making large donations to BDO and other hateful organizations. "Accordingly, we strongly advise you to consider whether RBF should continue to provide financial backing to these hate groups who promote BDS against Israel and Israeli companies, individuals, and products,” states the letter. COMMENT: Go Nitsana!
