1………..> Prositiution Central: Under DOJ Siege
The Justice Department today announced the seizure of Backpage.com, the Internet’s leading forum for prostitution ads, including ads depicting the prostitution of children. Additionally, seven individuals have been charged in a 93-count federal indictment with the crimes of conspiracy to facilitate prostitution using a facility in interstate or foreign commerce, facilitating prostitution using a facility in interstate or foreign commerce, conspiracy to commit money laundering, concealment money laundering, international promotional money laundering, and transactional money laundering.
The seven defendants charged in the indictment are Michael Lacey, 69, of Paradise Valley, Arizona; James Larkin, 68, of Paradise Valley, Arizona; Scott Spear, 67, of Scottsdale, Arizona; John E. “Jed” Brunst, 66, of Phoenix, Arizona; Daniel Hyer, 49, of Dallas, Texas; Andrew Padilla, 45, of Plano, Texas and Jaala Joye Vaught, 37, of Addison, Texas.
“For far too long, Backpage.com existed as the dominant marketplace for illicit commercial sex, a place where sex traffickers frequently advertised children and adults alike,” said Attorney General Sessions. “But this illegality stops right now. Last Friday, the Department of Justice seized Backpage, and it can no longer be used by criminals to promote and facilitate human trafficking. I want to thank everyone who made this important seizure possible: all of our dedicated and committed professionals in the Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section and our U.S. Attorney’s Office in the District of Arizona, the FBI, our partners with the IRS Criminal Investigation, our Postal Inspectors, and the Texas and California Attorney Generals’ offices. With their help, we have put an end to the violence, abuse, and heartache that has been perpetrated using this site, and we have taken a major step toward keeping women and children across America safe.”

2………….> Attack On Trump: Attack On Country?
President Trump described an FBI raid on the offices and home of his personal lawyer Michael Cohen is “an attack on our country”, under a search warrant for campaign violations and bank fraud concerning his payment of $130,000 to call girl Stormy Daniels.
“The decision by the US Attorney’s Office in New York to conduct their investigation using search warrants is completely inappropriate and unnecessary,” Mr. Ryan said in a statement.
“It resulted in the unnecessary seizure of protected attorney-client communications between a lawyer and his clients.”
When asked if he would fire Mr. Mueller, Mr. Trump said: “we’ll see what happens”.

3…………>New China Base: Vanuatu
While US media is on fire regarding an FBI raid in the offices of President Trump’s Michael Cohen, who is accused of bank fraud for procuring a $130,000 payment to call girl “Stormy” Daniels, Mr.Xi “soft power” socialistic approach used the fact that Beijing has contributed billions in aid to Pacific, and hence has decided to use its leverage to build a military base in Vanuatu, right on Australia’s doorstep and despite opposition expressing concern over foreign military encroachment of the island.
China currently has just one overseas military base — in the African country of Djibouti — but has been increasing its presence in the Pacific.

4………….> Ready For War: Chinese Jammers
“China’s built up reclaimed [South China Sea’s Spratly Islands, including technology capable of jamming radar and communications systems] in the past year, with aircraft hangars, military barracks, and extended runways, to the point where China has seven operational bases in the busy international shipping waterway,” said Admiral Harry Harris about the communist government “attempting to assert de facto sovereignty over disputed maritime features by further militarizing its man-made bases.”
The strategically located maritime region is a subject of multiple competing ownership claims over fishing waters, oil fields, islets and reefs in Taiwan, Vietnam, the Philippines, Brunei, Malaysia and Indonesia.

Stock market old timers have said that “you buy the rumor, and sell the news”, and that is exactly what is happening right now, with the news that President Trump is about to start a metal tariff war, slapping 25% surcharge on steel and 10% on aluminum. DIA resistance is in the 27,000 area, with supports at 24135, 21354 and 18900 level, US dollar in a downtrend, resistance at 1.003319 CHF, support at .92 and 0.9: Gold in an uptrend, watch break resistance of 1377 to be taken soon. The massive Fed balance sheet contraction will result in a $600 billion dollars being dumped on the credit markets each quarter, a leftover of the horrendous $4.3 trillion money printing of Obama’s septic tank that will surely exert a severe pressure on stocks and financial assets.

We warned long ago that an organized attempt to remove President Trump from office is underway, and if this activity is not curtailed soon, the market will open on gap below 20,000 with next stop 17300 and 11800 support levels.
Stocks were up 46 to 23979, DJ futures at +280
Gold down to 1337.2 and USD/CHF up at 0.96 despite President Trump setting tariffs on Chinese products. Translation? As the dollar goes down, we have to wait and see if the new Fed Chair Jerome Powell will continue pressuring gold and the Eurasian block with it down below $1000/oz in an economic WW3. Watch cover short stop at 24,000. We have to wait and see if new Fed chair Powell will attempt to destroy Eurasian block by sending gold prices below 1000, despite the fact both Russia and China have been buying their whole gold production in local gold backed currency instead of money printing machines. In other words, US has lost controls of the precious metals complex, and with Trump’s infrastructure and tax cut campaign the National debt will soon be at, or over 30 trillion dollars, since D.C. swamp alligators have no intention dropping their pet projects.
