Despite a Federal Reserve that doesn’t know what it is doing – raised rates far too fast (very low inflation, other parts of world slowing, lowering & easing) & did large scale tightening, $50 Billion/month, we are on course to have one of the best Months of June in US history…

2…………> California Slave-Driving: Guatemalan Family

 

An indictment was unsealed today in federal court in the Eastern District of California following the arrests of Nery A Martinez Vasquez, 50, and Maura N Martinez, 50, of Shasta Lake, California.

According to the allegations set forth in the indictment, between September 2016 and February 2018, the defendants conspired to bring a Guatemalan woman and her two minor daughters to the United States using temporary visitor visas, harbored them after their visas expired, and forced them to work long hours at a restaurant and cleaning service for minimal to no pay.

 The indictment further alleges that the defendants imposed a debt on the victims to prevent them from returning to Guatemala, subjected them to physical, psychological, and verbal abuse, threatened them with arrest, and separated the Guatemalan woman from her daughters, all to compel their labor.

Sacramento was one of six districts designated through a competitive, nationwide selection process as a Phase II Anti-Trafficking Coordination Team, through the interagency ACTeam Initiative of the Departments of Justice, Homeland Security and Labor

3…………> Trump’s Ice Broom: Texas

 

ICE federal officers arrested 52 criminal aliens or immigration violators throughout South Texas during a four-day enforcement action, which ended Thursday, with eighteen of those arrested being immigration fugitives with a final order of removal; 21 others illegally re-entered the United States after been previously deported, which is a felony.

Depending on an alien’s criminality, an alien who re-enters the United States after having been previously deported commits a felony punishable by up to 20 years in federal prison, if convicted.

During this enforcement surge, ICE deportation officers made arrests in the following Texas cities: Rio Grande Valley (9), San Antonio (7), Laredo (20), and Austin/Waco (16).

4…………> Economics Clueless Bernie “Spendie” Sanders: Cancel Student Debt

 

Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders unveiled a plan to forgive all US student loans, freeing around 45 million Americans from a debt pile that can take decades to pay off, all this without saying who’s going to fork the 1.3 trillion dollar bill.

It is the most ambitious student loan policy in the White House race so far, though would currently stand little chance of passing into law through the Republican-led Senate, while Mr. Sanders is currently running just behind former Vice-President Joe, “searching fingers” Biden in the marathon race to become the party’s standard-bearer.

Not surprisingly, Mr. Sanders’ proposed legislation is co-sponsored by Democratic congresswomen Pramila Jayapal and Ilhan Omar.

5…………> Another Trump Legal Victory: Steel Tariffs

 

The US Supreme Court rejected a legal challenge by the American Institute for International Steel against US President Donald Trump’s tariffs on imported steel.

“The petition for a writ of certiorari before judgment is denied”, the Supreme Court said in its order list regarding the case.

The industry group argued that a key part of the law under which Trump imposed the duties violates the US Constitution, but the justices declined to hear the American Institute for International Steel’s appeal of a March ruling by the US Court of International Trade, which rejected the group’s lawsuit.

In March 2018, Trump introduced 25 percent tariffs on steel imports and 10 percent tariffs on aluminium imports by invoking Section 232 of US trade law citing alleged national security concerns.

1…………> We Love Muslims: Trump 

President Trump hosted his first iftar dinner as president to mark the holy month of Ramadan amid tense relations with the American Muslim community, inviting ambassadors and diplomats from predominantly Muslim countries, using the opportunity to praise the virtues of Ramadan and called for cooperation in the Middle East. 

“Tonight as we enjoy a magnificent dinner at the White House, let us strive to embody the grace and goodwill that mark the Ramadan season,” the president told attendees, referring to the dinner as “a sacred tradition of one of the world’s great religions”.

“Let us pray for peace and justice and let us resolve that these values will guide us as we work together to build a bright and prosperous future that does honor and glory to God,” he said. 

According to a pool report from the White House, attendees included Vice President Mike Pence, Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and a few other Cabinet members, as well as ambassadors from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Tunisia, Kuwait, Indonesia, Jordan, as well as representatives from Turkey and other Muslim-majority countries.

2…………> CO2 Removal: Canadian Break-through 

A Canadian firm Carbon Engineering say they have taken a big step forward on cutting the costs of direct air extraction by inventing a process that sucks air into a modified cooling tower with fans, where it comes into contact with a liquid that reacts with the CO2. 

After several processing steps, a purer stream of CO2 is extracted and the capturing liquid is returned to the air contactor. 

Set up in 2009 with funding from Microsoft’s Bill Gates and Canada oil sands financier Norman Murray Edwards, the pilot plant has been running since 2015, capturing about one ton of CO2 per day at cost of $100, compared to industry standard of $600 per ton.

3…………> China Honor Guards: A Steely Dedication

4…………> A Family Quarrel: Turkey vs Trump 

Trump’s administration opposed Turkey S-400 missile deal because the deal went against NATO’s US dictated plans to further isolate and deter Russia, concerns that the system’s deployment in Turkey would endanger the flights of NATO aircraft, and lastly, it went against US commercial plans to promote the purchase of US-made Patriot air defense systems. 

Ankara dismissed Washington’s threat of sanctions and demand to cancel the purchase of Russian-manufactured S-400 air defense systems during recent talks in Washington, at the same time expressing its readiness to take the latter’s security concerns into account. 

President Donald Trump tried to convince his Turkish counterpart that Washington was ready to sell “Patriots” to Ankara, expressing regret that the previous administrations used to put obstacles to such deals with Turkey, apparently forgetting that it was his infamous successor, our 1st Muslim President, Grand Ayatollah Barack Obama who sent the FETO hoodlums to assassinate President Erdogan and install a New World Disorder obedient government in the eastern flank of NATO. 

Turkish officials reportedly strongly rejected Washington’s calls, insisting that these systems would be bought and deployed since the country needed them. They also warned their US counterparts that any sanctions against Turkey would not be left without a response.

5…………> Welcome to Zurich, Texas: Gold Vault 

Are you sick and tired of holding your hard-earned precious metals holdings in a bank safety box somewhere in the US, expecting at any moment the Fed’s to barge in and confiscate it for any reason? Don’t bother. 

Texas lawmakers signed off on building the country’s first state-backed gold depository in 2015 and Gov. Greg Abbott said at the time that the project would allow Texas to “repatriate” gold from New York. 

Texans, and in fact any American citizen can now store their precious metals in a publicly backed secure vault close to home, as the United States’ first state-run gold depository opens for business in Austin, a 23,000-square-foot building — operated by the private storage company Lone Star Tangible Assets for a yearly storage fee of 0.5% on holdings up to $2.5 million dollars. 

“By having state oversight, if you deposit your precious metals, you know that we’re constantly over there, making sure the security is top-notch,” Hegar said. “Once you’ve made that deposit, it is going to be there tomorrow and in the future until you make a decision to withdraw it or you want to sell it.” 

The construction of the Leander depository is set to begin “in the next couple of months,” said Kevin Lyons, spokesman for the Texas comptroller’s office. Once that facility opens, armored trucks will transport the precious metals from Austin to Leander.

1……….> Chinese Prosperity: Mr Xi

As ceremonial music echoed throughout the Great Hall of the People, the 64-year-old Xi Jinping took his place on the podium, dressed in a dark suit, placed his left hand on the Constitution, raised his right hand to his temple and made a fist of solidarity.

“I pledge my allegiance to the Constitution,” Xi began.

“[To] safeguard the Constitution’s authority, fulfill my legal obligations, be loyal to the country and the people, be committed and honest in my duty, accept the people’s supervision and work hard for a great modern socialist country that is prosperous, strong, democratic, culturally advanced, harmonious and beautiful.”

He bowed, and the nearly 3,000 National People’s Congress (NPC) deputies reacted with a spontaneous burst of thunderous applause.

2…………> Master Spy: Putin

Born in the city of Leningrad(now St.Petersburg), the grandson of Spiridon Putin, personal cook of Lenin and Stalin, Vladimir Putin earned his law degree in 1975 and spent 16 years working for the infamous Soviet secret police after being posted to Dresden, East Germany, where he played the role of a translator.

After the fall of the Berlin Wall, Putin returned to his home of St. Petersburg,  rising through the ranks of Russia’s political establishment non-stop from there, and into history by being elected the President of the Russian Federation, and now re-elected to another term of six years, a sure sign that his “hard nose” legacy of KGB officer will be felt at home and abroad for many decades to come.

Critics have accused him of building a mafia-style government on the ruins of a totalitarian regime had left Russia “a mafia state and a totalitarian society.”

3…………> The UFO Dance: Video

A video of a supposed unidentified flying object (UFO) captured in the US in 2016, shows a strange spacecraft following a passenger plane, approaching and then overtaking the aircraft.

YouTube users remained at odds over the video, which some said should not be rejected because it was “clearly not photoshop,” while others suggested that it could be part of war games, air refuelling and computer-generated imagery (CGI).

Update on explosion investigation with Chief Manley
11:33 PM – Mar 18, 2018

Chief Manley gave an early morning press briefing to warn of the possibility of a different style of attack.

He said: “It is very possible this device was activated by someone either handling, kicking or coming into contact with a tripwire. That changes things in that our safety message has been about the handling of packages. We need the community to have an extra level of vigilance and pay attention to any suspicious device. Do not approach it. Call 911. We do believe that this was a bomb that exploded, but it was not similar to previous explosions. We are working on the belief they are connected but we have not processed the scene.”

Chief Manley also said he believed the attacks were “meant to send a message” after the bombs killed two people and injured two others since early March, and officials announced a new $100,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the terrorists, not ruling out racism as a possible motive.

5……………..> The Auschwitz Girl: Czeslawa

In 1942 German authorities had deported 14-year-old Polish girl Czesława Kwoka and her mother from the Zamość region in southeastern Poland to Auschwitz to create “living space” for Germans in eastern Europe.

Kwoka was beaten by the guards shortly before her registration card was issued, with her busted lip clearly visible on the document, recorded for posterity.

Her mother died three months after they arrived at the camp, and Czesława was murdered with a phenol injection to the heart a few weeks later, one of the millions, mostly Jewish people the Nazis killed at Auschwitz during the Second World War.


Brazilian artist Marina Amaral colourized the original black-and-white images that another Auschwitz prisoner, Wilhelm Brasse, had taken shortly after Kwoka arrived at the camp.

The touching post has been shared more than 10,000 times and received over 250,000 media engagements.

“Thank you all for helping us to remember the past,” the museum said in a tweet responding to the social media reaction. “We need to learn about this tragic history of Auschwitz to create a better and safer future.”
