The Price Of Silver Explodes Past 20 Dollars An Ounce As The European Banking Crisis Deepens

Have you seen what the price of silver has been doing?  On Monday, it exploded past 20 dollars an ounce, and as I write this article it is sitting at $20.48.  Earlier today it actually surged above 21 dollars an ounce for a short time before moving back just a bit.  In late March, I told my readers that silver was “ridiculously undervalued” when it was sitting at $15.81 an ounce, and that call has turned out to be quite prescient.  The Friday before last, silver started the day at $17.25 an ounce, and it is up more than 18 percent since that time.  Overall, silver is up more than 30 percent for the year, and that makes it one of the best performing investments of 2016.  So what is causing this sudden surge in the price of silver?  This is something that we will discuss below…

This sudden spike in the price of silver has definitely caught a lot of analysts off guard.  Some are suggesting that the fact that the Fed is now less likely to raise rates after the Brexit and the fact that the dollar has been slipping a bit lately are the primary reasons for silver’s rise…

This isn’t a gradual increase either. It’s an explosive growth spurt. Just three months ago silver had reached an 11 month high. Now silver prices have reached a 23 month high. Several factors appear to be influencing these gains, including a weakening dollar, and the fact that the Fed may cut interest rates in light of the Brexit vote.

Personally, I don’t buy those explanations.

To me, the continuing implosion of major banks over in Europe is the main factor that is driving investors to safe haven assets such as silver.

Rumors continue to spread that Deutsche Bank is essentially insolvent at this point, and many are watching for the imminent collapse of the largest and most important bank in Germany.  When this happens, it will be a much, much more cataclysmic event for the global financial system than the collapse of Lehman Brothers was back in 2008.

But today I want to focus on the ongoing implosion of the major banks in Italy.

Italy has the 8th largest economy on the entire planet, and their banks are drowning in approximately 400 billion dollars worth of non-performing debt.

The Italian government would like to bail these banks out, but the rest of the EU appears ready to block that effort because it would violate EU rules.  As a result, the big Italian banks experienced a bloodbath on Monday…

Italy’s Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena SpA BMPS, -13.99% closed down 14%. The move came after a report that the European Central Bank is pushing the lender to draft a new plan aimed at reducing non-performing loans.

Other Italian bank shares were lower, with Banca Popolare dell’Emilia Romagna BPE, -6.73% down 6.7%, Intesa Sanpaolo SpA ISP, -3.04% off 3% and Banca Popolare di Milano SpA PMI, -1.40% lower by 1.4%.

And these stunning declines come on the heels of last week’s nightmare…

As a reminder, the Euro Stoxx Banks index was down -0.88% last week and is nearly 19% down from its pre-referendum levels. Italian Banks are at the heart of that weakness with the likes of Unicredit, Intesa, Banco Monte dei Paschi and UBI down -9.78%, -3.44%, -15.79% and -6.11% respectively last week, in the process sending Italian stocks to levels not seen since Draghi’s famous “whatever it takes” speech.

So what happens when all of the major banks of a country collapse at the exact same time?

Basically, Italy is facing “financial Armageddon” if nothing is done, and so some Italian politicians are desperate to step in and do something about this crisis even if it means defying the EU…

The Financial Times reported Sunday that Italy was prepared “to defy the EU and unilaterally pump billions of euros into its troubled banking system if it comes under severe systemic distress … despite warnings from Brussels and Berlin over the need to respect rules that make creditors rather than taxpayers fund bank rescues.”

Citing “several officials and bankers familiar with the plans,” the FT said that the threat has raised alarm along Europe’s regulators “who fear such a brazen intervention would devastate the credibility of the union’s newly implemented banking rule book during its first real test.”

But of course the rest of the EU is not about to let this happen because it would be a gross violation of European Union rules…

Michael Hewson, chief market analyst at CMC Markets UK, said: “Under current EU state aid rules any attempts to help banks must involve a bail-in process that doesn’t involve using taxpayer’s money.

“Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi has tried to argue that the Brexit uncertainty has destabilised Italy’s already fragile banks.

“The reality is the problems of Italy’s banks predate last week’s Brexit vote, and he knows it.”

So what is going to happen?

Could Italy be forced to leave the EU?

Will the rest of the European Union eventually cave in and save Italy?

We all remember how difficult it was for the EU to save Greece, and they are just the 44th largest economy on the planet.

So where in the world are they going to come up with the resources to rescue the 8th largest economy on the planet?

Immediately following the Brexit vote on the Friday before last, we witnessed the biggest one day global stock market loss in world history.  But since that time many global markets have bounced back, and a lot of people seem convinced that the crisis has passed.

Unfortunately, the truth is that the crisis is just getting started.  As I warned before the Brexit vote, European banks were going to continue to implode no matter what the result was, and that is definitely what we are seeing come to pass right now.

Without bailouts, virtually all of the major banks in Italy are going to fail.  It is just a matter of time.  And each of those failures would send financial shockwaves all over the planet.

Personally, I am convinced that the second half of 2016 is going to be even more eventful that the first half of 2016, and this new global economic crisis is going to continue to accelerate.

Unfortunately, most Americans are preoccupied reading about Taylor Swift’s new boyfriend and things of that nature, and so they are totally oblivious to the global events that are about to turn their lives totally upside down.

The Globalists Have Revealed How They Will Collapse America

The world’s economic tectonic plates are beginning to shift and soon the worlds economic system will soon come tumbling down. Will you be prepared? Have you converted your soon to be worthless cash into precious metals?

For the past several years, the elite (e.g. George Soros) have been running from the dollar. In fact, they have been running from all domestic currencies. Why? Because they knew what was coming. And what is coming is an economic meltdown like the world has never seen.

Beside trading and bartering, if the dollar and the Euro were to collapse tomorrow, what currency of exchange would the left standing? The obvious and simple answer would be primarily, gold, and secondarily, silver. Ask yourself this question, if you knew that paper monies all around the world were to collapse, what action would represent your best option? The obvious answer would be to dramatically drive down the price of gold and silver if one had the ability to do so, and then buy as much as gold as one possibly could. Goldman Sachs has the ability to do so by utilizing their ominous shorting strategy. This is exactly what Goldman Sachs did in 2013 when they ordered their brokers to create a state of panic among gold and silver holders and then they offered the unsuspecting precious metals holders a way out, sell short.

In 2013, I wrote the following:

“Panic selling dominated the market as investors and financial institutions could not dump their holdings of silver and gold fast enough. The market clearly shows signs of mass manipulation by the Globalists.  The best proof that the globalists are manipulating the price of gold comes from “Goldman Sachs(who) reportedly told their clients earlier this month that they recommend initiating a short COMEX gold position.”

In other words, the globalists knew at least three years in advance that fiat currencies were going to be collapsed and the key members of the criminal elite better get into previous metals ASAP!

George Soros knew something dreadful was coming. David Rockefeller knew something big and bad was about to happen. That something big is the imminent collapse of all fiat, paper money currencies around the world. In their secret Bilderberg meetings, the globalists have positively planned the exact date of our financial demise. You can even bet the next “black whatever day” will coincide with an ironic date which will make the globalists chuckle at the planned inception of next false flag event. What is coming is an economic Armageddon.

While the common man and much of the Independent Media were celebrating the Brexit vote, I warned there would be consequences. The globalists demand that everyone is in their system. The globalists may not be able to stop nations from exiting the EU, however, they can certainly make it expensive by collapsing the world’s fiat currencies and then cutting off peoples access to buying gold and silver by cutting out the gold and silver sellers. This is what just happened in Sweden.

The following are the chest pains before the heart attack.

The New Economic System Is Upon Us

The criminal elite cartel have revealed how they are going to totally subjugate humanity.  The plan is not to come after your private gold coins similar to what FDR did during the Depression. The plan is to shut down the public’s access to those that sell precious metals. This will prevent public’s access to the safety of gold and silver while their respective fiat currency bites the dust. As stated, the criminal elite bought as much gold as they could three years ago with the fraudulent help of Goldman Sachs. Today, they are cutting off your access to the same safe haven they have escaped to. 

Sweden’s largest gold and silver dealer, Tavex Guld & Valuta, suddenly had their bank accounts suddenly closed on Thursday without any official notice.  

As a result, Tavex AB sent the following letter out to all of its investors. In the letter, the company its customers that because Sweden is moving to a cashless society, the Swedish banks are shutting down all gold and silver bullion accounts.

---

Notice of change in Tavex ABs payment system

Dear clients,

We would like to notify you that starting from 15:30 Thursday, June 30, 2016, we must stop accepting banktransfer and bankgiro payments for gold and silver orders to our Swedish SEB account.

The reason for this has to do with the fact that SEB has informed us – at a very short notice – that they will close down our bank account. Regrettably, this decision by SEB was taken without prior consultation with us, and, besides stating in their notification letter that the termination of the account has to do with “a general business decision”, they have yet to provide us with a concrete reason why they choose this course of action.

However, as you all are aware, the banking system in Sweden is pushing heavily into the direction of a cash free society, and Tavex, as one of the biggest wholesale supplier of physical notes & investment metals in Sweden, is according to our view being targeted by the big merchant banks.

And although this situation is creating temporary operational difficulties for us, and inconvenience for you, it will not have a lasting negative impact on our business models, or on our determination to keep on providing our clients with cash currency and physical investment metals.

Having said that, we are feverishly working on setting up a new payment system, which we believe will be operational in two to three weeks’ time. In the meantime, all orders placed via our webshop after 15:30 Thursday, June 30, 2016, can be paid by making an international payment to Tavex AB Estonian Swedbank account. This account is setup up for receiving payments in SEK, which means that there is no exchange fee when funds are transferred from Sweden to this account. All other operational procedures such as: delivery of products, pickup of products at our offices, insurance of packages, and customer support will remain exactly the same as before.

We apologize in advance for this inconvenience and hope that you sympathize with us. We are doing our utmost to make this transition as smooth as possible and we thank you for your past support and look forward to your continued patronage at Tavex AB.

Sincerely,
Anton Otahal

Sales Director
Tavex AB

Conclusion

If one thinks that the timing between Sweden moving to a cashless society and the shutting down of gold and silver dealer’s accounts is merely a coincidence, then that person has not been paying attention. When the average person possesses gold and silver, they have peace of mind and they have freedom because they are outside the control grid of the globalist matrix.

The only question remaining is whether the actions of the Swedish banks represent a beta test or is it the first step towards forcing the public exclusively into fiat currencies before they are collapsed. Regardless of the answer to this question, the fact remains is the globalists have tipped their hand. They are showing us how they are going to collapse, not just America, but the entire west.

What should you do to avoid economic catastrophe? The simple answer is to buy gold and silver. If you have a previous metal representative that you work with, I would be calling him/her today. If you do not have a preferred agent, I strongly recommend who I use and that is Steve Quayle of Renaissance Precious Metals. I would make this call ASAP, because none of us know how long until the globalists collapse the entire system.

You can bet that bank bail-ins are not far behind. And following that your retirements are next. Do you want to be a slave, or do you want live and die as a free man? The choice is yours.

All Israelis Will Have to Join Biometric Database

Interior Minister Arye Dery announced on Thursday that starting next year, joining the biometric database will be obligatory.

“From now on anyone obtaining a document from the Interior Ministry, whether an ID card or a passport, will receive a biometric one. We’ve decided on having this database and we’ll soon decide what will be included in it,” Dery said at a ceremony marking the millionth person to join the biometric database, which was held at the new Population and Immigration Authority office in south Tel Aviv.

“Israel is joining many other countries around the world which have concluded that their citizens should have smart and secure documentation. With all the attempts by various organizations to steal identities, it’s important to have a smart and reliable document,” Dery added. At the end of the ceremony he issued himself one.

“I’m not sure I’m the millionth, but we’re close. I’m issuing one for myself since I don’t have one yet. It’s the right and safe thing to do – there is nothing to worry about. There is nothing more secure than this database. People can remain calm, I can say with certainty – we have a secure database. Everything we do is for the benefit of our citizens,” he declared.

During the third quarter of 2015 there was a sharp drop in the number of people signing up. Only one quarter of people taking out new documents in that period opted for biometric ones. The Population Authority released data showing that between last November and May there was a rise in these numbers, with 31 percent opting for biometric documentation.

The rate of people choosing biometric documents goes up with age, except for people who are 80 years old or older. There are gender differences, with somewhat more men who signed up during the pilot phase. Twenty-four percent of people who signed on never returned to pick them up. From August, these documents will be mailed to people for whom they were issued.

The pilot phase began in July 2013 and was supposed to end after two years. However, it was extended twice. Former Interior Minister Silvan Shalom assumed his post a month and a half before the end of the pilot, and requested more time to study the issue. The Knesset approved his request and extended the pilot by nine months, ending in March of this year.

After Shalom’s departure, Dery was appointed minister in mid-January. At his request, the Knesset again extended the pilot by nine months, until the end of 2016. Dery will have to decide in the coming months what should be done with this database. He clarified that he wouldn’t annul it but would make it compulsory to sign on. It is still unclear, however, which data will be conserved in the database. In any case, approval by the Knesset plenary is required for this move.

The main objective of the biometric database is to prevent the forging of ID cards and passports, prohibiting anyone from assuming a false identity. The database includes high-resolution facial photos and the prints of applicants’ two index fingers. By law, the biometric data is stored in a secure database with limited access. Only an encrypted code enables the linking of the data to the personal details of any person.

Senior Interior Ministry officials said they are now looking at different models for the database. One option is to include only a facial photograph. “That’s a good option for people who are reluctant to provide fingerprints, but its effectiveness is lower. Faces change over time, and people often choose to wear head covering while taking their photos. Such passports will therefore be issued for shorter durations. This will cause people to be hassled by appearing more frequently at our offices as well as imposing a greater burden on our employees. Another option is to make the provision of fingerprints compulsory, but this will evoke opposition.”

In internal discussions, Dery has been looking at a third way that combines the two – in this option a facial photo will be compulsory and the fingerprints voluntary. This may encourage people to give their fingerprints. “When people learn that passports with fingerprints will be issued for longer periods of 10 years instead of three to five years without fingerprinting, most people will provide their prints.”

Opponents of the database argue that there is a high risk of sensitive information leaking out. They suggest making do with smart documents that will contain the biometric data, rather than holding it in a centralized storage site. Opponents also recommend more intense questioning by the Population Authority at the time documents are issued, to minimize the risk of identity theft.

Attorney Yehonatan Klinger, the legal adviser of the Movement for Digital Rights, says, “We claim that this database is unnecessary, since people rarely lose documents that can prove their identity. There is no need for a database that will store fingerprints – identities can be verified without this. We’ll do our utmost so that the interior minister makes the right decision and halts the establishment of this database.”

Swiss "NO to Muslim population"

As one of the more independent-minded European countries, Switzerland is now doing the unthinkable with their Muslim population: denying citizenship for failing to integrate into Swiss society.

One recent example involves two Muslim sisters, ages 12 and 14, who refused to take school swimming lessons because of the presence of boys. They said their religion prevents them from participating in compulsory swimming lessons with males in the pool at the same time.

The girls live in the northern city of Basel. They had applied for Swiss citizenship several months ago, but their request was denied because the sisters did not comply with the school’s curriculum.

“Whoever doesn’t fulfill these conditions violates the law and therefore cannot be naturalized,” Stefan Wehrle, president of the naturalization committee, told TV station SRF.

Wehrle said the case in which citizenship is denied for failure to comply with a school program will set precedence for future cases.

In 2012, a Muslim family was fined $1,500 for refusing to allow their daughters to participate in swim classes. The matter worked its way up to the Supreme Court, which ruled that no dispensations from swimming lessons should be made on religious grounds.

In another case, the Swiss naturalization board denied citizenship to members of another immigrant family because they wore sweatpants around town and did not greet passersby, which indicated they were not sufficiently assimilated.

The German-speaking Muslim family, originally from Kosovo, had their citizenship application denied in part because of complaints that they preferred fleece and cotton blends (sweatpants) to denim (jeans), according to local media.

According to USA Today, “The Basellandschaftliche Zeitung newspaper reported that while the family met many of the requirements for Swiss naturalization such as being familiar with the customs and geography of where they live – the village of Bubendorf in the canton of Basel-Country – a committee of residents overseeing the process ruled that they were nevertheless insufficiently Swiss to be given passports.”

In May, Swiss education authorities ruled that students who refuse to shake a teacher’s hand – a Swiss tradition – could be fined up to $5,000. The decision came after two teenage Muslim boys refused to shake their female teacher’s hand on religious grounds.

Some are praising the actions of the Swiss, pointing out that Switzerland is more concerned about maintaining its national identity and culture than bowing to political correctness. “They like their society the way it is and don’t feel obligated to change it to suit random schmoes, even if they get called ‘racist xenophobes,'” notes one observer, adding it’s a move “which no doubt has American immigration officials baffled.”

Others have criticized the nation for refusing citizenship to people who have lived in the country for a long time, are gainfully employed and fluent in one of the three national languages (German, French, Italian).

Swissinfo, an information website about Switzerland, says that to be naturalized there the “person must be well integrated, familiar with customs and traditions, law abiding, and pose no threat to internal or external security.”

The Swiss value full integration into society more highly than knowledge of national politics, history or language. Candidates for citizenship must demonstrate they respect local customs and traditions and are well assimilated into their communities. Local village or town councils make the initial decisions on naturalization applications, since they are most familiar with whether a candidate is considered an upstanding member of the community. If denied, the application will not be forwarded to the state (canton) and federal authorities for further processing.

Denial of citizenship is not limited to Muslims. In 2014, an American who has lived in Switzerand for nearly 40 years was denied citizenship because authorities said he could not name any of his Swiss friends or neighboring villages. The naturalization commission ruled, “The applicant’s answers have shown that his motive for naturalization is not about integration but about the personal advantages it offers.”

The American, Irving Dunn, did not deny the charge, telling a newspaper: “It can be expected that persons mainly want personal advantages from citizenship,” such as the right to vote and live indefinitely in Switzerland.

We Have 100,000 Missiles In Lebanon Ready To Hit Israel

Muslims should set aside their differences and focus on “the ideal of liberating Palestine,” Iranian president Hassan Rouhani said Friday at an event for al-Quds Day, an anti-Israel celebration held annually by Iran. Al-Quds is the Arabic and Farsi name for Jerusalem.

The day’s rallies, held across the country, were attended by tens of thousands and featured chants of “Death to Israel” and “Death to America.” Israeli and American flags were also burned, Reuters reported.

Ali Kotobi, an Iraqi-born 63-year-old who attended one al-Quds Day rally, told Al-Monitor that Israel created the Islamic State. “Daesh is the creation of Israel. They want Muslims to fight each other and Palestine to be forgotten.”

Rouhani concurred with the sentiment that intra-Muslim conflicts were preventing Israel from being destroyed. “The Zionist regime is a regional base for America and the global arrogance….Disunity and discord among Muslim and terrorist groups in the region…have diverted us from the important issue of Palestine,” Rouhani said. He later told state TV that “due to the divisions in the Islamic world, the presence of takfiris [Sunni extremists] and terrorists in the region…we are far away from the ideal of liberating Palestine.”

Al-Quds Day was established in 1979 by the late Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeni, who declared that the last Friday of Ramadan should be a day of pan-Islamic demonstrations against the Jewish state.

A leader of Iran’s Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) took the opportunity to boast about his country’s support for the Lebanese Shiite terrorist group Hezbollah. “Hezbollah has 100,000 missiles that are ready to hit Israel to liberate the occupied Palestinian territories if the Zionist regime repeats its past mistakes,” IRGC deputy head Hossein Salami told the semi-official Tasnim news agency.

The IRGC itself issued a statement on the occasion, saying that within 25 years, “there will be no Israel on the map of the world.”

WHAT WOULD A 'GENDER-FREE' WORLD ACTUALLY BE LIKE?

Pantone is a global color clearinghouse that most visual artists work with at some point. A monolith with the last word in exact hues, they busily match alpha-numerical sequences to thousands of colors in visible light.

However, amplitude and electromagnetic radiation aren’t the only qualities of color. They have emotional effects and can be symbolic of social and cultural trends, which brings us back to Pantone and their annual “Color of the Year.”

For the first time, Pantone chose two shades, “Serenity” and “Rose Quartz,” as the “color” of the year for 2016. Any of us with a little experience in paint would just call this combination some edition of lavender and be done with it. But that would be too easy. Using singular verbiage while referring to two distinct, non-blended colors is deliberate obscurity – but it’s just another day in Transville.

Serenity and Rose Quartz are greyed down tints of blue and pink – or traditional baby colors. Pantone’s graphic for their announcement morphs from one to another, never settling. This is no accident, as Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, explains in a political manifesto disguised as interior decorating advice. Scattered among platitudes such as “harmonious pairings” and embodiments “of tranquility and inner peace,” she gets to the point.

“In many parts of the world we are experiencing a gender blur as it relates to fashion” said Eiseman. “This more unilateral approach to color is coinciding with societal movements toward gender equality and fluidity … [in] a generation that has less concern about being typecast or judged.”

Well, well. Perusing their charts, customers should be warned that colors #15-3919 and #13-1520 no longer note units of hue, tint, value or saturation, but instead refer to “transgendering.”

With the rainbow co opted by homosexuality, why not sign over the entire visible spectrum, including its symbols and significance as well? No token of esteem is too high for the noble transgendered, who spend years of their lives in grimy clubs as well as inspiring countless rock stars on how to wear spandex and false eye-lashes.

Rolling out the “Serenity and Rose” carpet for transgenders required Eiseman to spout a lot of silly non-sequiturs, such as Pantone’s new “unilateral” approach to color. Since there are two or more colors here, shouldn’t that at least be “bilateral”? Or is this a forbidden word now, since it’s so close to that dreadful “binary” condition of being either male or female?

Artists on the left have supported homosexuality forever, but wildly enthusiastic vendors are a grim new sight. Consider that these corporations work tirelessly to offend parents, whose children will be their only source of clients in a few decades. They must all be financial suicide bombers.

Is science no longer valid when it doesn’t support current gay narratives? If the existence of X and Y chromosomes can be denied, all scholarship, technology, history and logic can be dumped just as easily. Imagine a world where men with big, pink hair and dog collars earn more respect than astronauts. Are we there yet?

Incidentally neither Pantone nor the president of the United States has dedicated colors, weeks or months to anyone lately except to the glory of homosexuals. Think of the things that can be accomplished – and the science unraveled – if this should continue.







Following the logic of these neo-Luddites, anything merely binary should be questioned or outright rejected. On gay sites, ranting against patriarchal, binary thought is becoming a mantra. Pantone boasts of supporting dozens of technologies, communications and manufacturers in diverse fields, and virtually all of them use binary-based communication, beginning with their computers. Perhaps they forgot to tell Leatrice Eiseman.

Imagine the effects on technology if we were to take gay narratives seriously.


International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA):
IAEA inspector to supervisor of a nuclear power plant: “Are you certain all switches to the nuclear reactor pressure vessel are off and reactors are cold?”

Supervisor: “‘Hot’ and ‘cold’ are binary, Western constructs. We recognize no difference between ‘hot’ and ‘cold’ shut-downs here.”

Air traffic control:
Co-pilot to captain of filled Boeing 767 about to land: “Is the landing gear down yet?”

Captain: “We are transitioning and will no longer use absolutist ‘cis’ terms such as ‘low’ and ‘high’ or ‘up’ and ‘down.'”

Blood transfusions:
Doctor in zero-tolerance emergency room situation to patient: “What do you mean, you can only use O-negative blood or you may die? AB+ blood is every bit as good as yours and if you refuse, the donor may be offended. We won’t tolerate small-minded plasmaphobes!”

Software code is based on binary codes that use only two digits, 0 and 1. There are many possible group permutations, but they are still limited to either 0 or 1. Science fiction writers may project a day where computers decide they deeply feel they have always been a 0.73, or complain that that are “mis-numbered” … but I doubt it.

Roots of binary classification run deep in East and West, from sequence patterns in ancient Vedic poetry to genetic algorithms. The I-Ching and Yin/Yang qualities are based on binary code. Yoruban divination and Jewish priests (with the Urim and Thummim) used different types of binary “yes or no” decision making.

Polymath Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz believed binary arithmetic expressed a universal “core of natural theology” which all cultures had in common. More recently, Alan Turing and George Boole (Boolean algebra), Claude Shannon, Ted Hoff, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Paul Allen and Steve Wozniak worked with it. Since all computer language is based on binary systems of logic, the entire planet is affected (most would say for the best) by the work of these men via binary code.

Incorporating queer/gender theory into computing or software design would make them worthless – and everyone knows this. Corporations issue pacifying generalities and flattery for trans-crusaders in the same way Hindus hang themselves by hooks to evade the wrath of Shiva.

Pantone made a useful, soft science of color, but has now regressed into pushing controversial and useless Queer Theory. They proudly acknowledge their work with measurements, printing, packaging, photography, graphic design, video, automotive, paints, plastics, textiles, dental and medical industries. All these may be affected by sexual impositions the Queer Theorist-in-Chief and his courts decree over the land.

Eiseman presents Pantone’s socially freighted colors as “calming” – a way to “fulfill the yearning for reassurance and security” in turbulent times. The chroma may be soothing all right, but the cultural baggage and sexual innuendo they attached is hard to stomach. Who knew those delicate little bassinette tints could get dingy so fast?

The great Recession 2.0

Those with money are opting to keep it in their pockets these days out of concern for the world’s economic and political stability, but such fear means fewer things made, fewer factories built, and fewer jobs available to the average worker.

Global investment banking activity fell by nearly a quarter in the first half of 2016 compared to a year earlier according to Thomson Reuters data released on Monday. The softness in the financial sector means suggests that the world’s markets are perilously susceptible to capsizing as post-Brexit market volatility sets in.

Global fees collected for mergers and acquisitions consulting and capital market underwriting fell 23% to $37.1 billion at the end of June, the slowest first half for fees since 2012. The collapse of new investment activity is a leading indicator showing that the world’s economy is set for a rough landing in late-2016.

Investment market activity has also been crushed by a slew of major mergers cancelled at the last second as investors began to get skittish about the safety and security of leading Western economies. The collapse is particularly disappointing in light of the fact that 2015 set a record for mergers and acquisitions.

Venture capitalists and hedge funds have decided that it is more prudent to keep their money in their pockets in a year of growing political instability with the United States putting forward a candidate being investigated by the FBI versus a raging xenophobe and Britain decapitating its financial industry in one foul swoop with the Brexit vote.

While the lead up to Brexit is faulted by Thomson Reuters economists as a reason for the faltering in investment outlays, the reality is that the market did not price in the possibility that Britain would leave as was evidenced in the two workdays following the vote where the world’s wealthiest lost over $3 trillion.

4 Killed as Suicide Bombers Strike Multiple Saudi Cities

Suicide bombers struck three cities across Saudi Arabia on Monday, killing at least four security officers in an apparently coordinated campaign of attacks as Saudis prepared to break their fast on the penultimate day of the holy month of Ramadan.

The explosions targeting U.S. diplomats, Shi'ite worshippers and a security headquarters at a mosque in the holy city of Medina followed days of mass killings claimed by the Islamic State group in Turkey, Bangladesh and Iraq. The attacks all seem to have been timed to coincide with the approach of Eid al-Fitr, the holiday that celebrates the end of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.

A suicide bomber detonated a bomb at a parking lot outside the Prophet's Mosque in Medina, the second-holiest site in Islam, a Saudi security spokesman told state news agency SPA.

"Security men noticed a suspicious person among those approaching the Prophet's Mosque in an open area used as parking lots for visitors' cars. As they confronted him, he blew himself up with an explosive belt, which resulted in his death and the martyrdom of four of the security men," the spokesman said.

Five other officers were wounded, the statement added. 

A Saudi security official said an attacker parked a car near the U.S. consulate in Jeddah before detonating the device.

A video sent to Reuters by a witness to the aftermath of the Medina bombing showed a large blaze among parked cars in the fading evening light, with the sound of sirens in the background. A picture sent to Reuters showed a burnt and bleeding man lying on a stretcher in a hospital.

Other pictures circulating on social media showed dark smoke billowing from flames near the Mosque of the Prophet, originally built in the 7th century by the Prophet Muhammad, who is buried there along with his first two successors.

In Qatif, an eastern city that is home to many members of the Shi'ite minority, at least one and possibly two explosions struck near a Shi'ite mosque. The security spokesman said the body of a bomber and two other people have been identified, without providing any more details.

Witnesses described body parts, apparently of a suicide bomber, in the aftermath.

A resident of the city reached by telephone said there were believed to be no casualties there apart from the attacker, as worshippers had already gone home to break their fasts. Civil defense forces were cleaning up the area and police were investigating, the resident said.

A video circulating on social media and purporting to show the aftermath of a Qatif blast showed an agitated crowd on a street, with a fire raging near a building and a bloody body part lying on the ground. Reuters could not immediately verify the video.

Hours earlier a suicide bomber was killed and two people were wounded in a blast near the U.S. Consulate in the kingdom's second city, Jeddah.

The Jeddah blast was the first bombing in years to attempt to target foreigners in the kingdom. There was no immediate claim of responsibility.

An official of the U.S. State Department said no American citizens or consulate staff were hurt in the Jeddah blast. He said the United States was aware of reports of explosions in Qatif and Medina and would monitor the situation closely.

He said the State Department encouraged U.S. citizens in Saudi Arabia "to be aware of their surroundings, and keep security and situational awareness levels high."

Islamic State has carried out a series of bombing and shooting attacks in Saudi Arabia since mid-2014 that have killed scores of people, mostly members of the Shi'ite Muslim minority and security services.

Police and groups of local volunteers increased security near mosques in Qatif after suicide bombings hit mosques in Shi'ite areas last year, killing dozens. Another suicide blast at a mosque used by security forces killed 15 a year ago.
