1…………> Air Force Medal Of Honor: 1st Since Vietnam

 

Yesterday, President Trump presented the Medal of Honor to a fallen hero, Technical Sergeant John A. Chapman of the United States Air Force, who died serving in Afghanistan 16 years ago. Sergeant Chapman is the first member of the U.S. Air Force to receive the Medal of Honor since the Vietnam War.

On March 4, 2002, on Takur Ghar mountain in Afghanistan, Sergeant Chapman’s aircraft came under heavy enemy fire and was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade. One teammate was ejected from the plane, and the crippled helicopter crash-landed in the valley below.

Sergeant Chapman and the remaining joint special operations team members voluntarily returned to the snow-capped mountain—into the heart of a known enemy stronghold—in an attempt to rescue their stranded teammate. Sergeant Chapman charged into the enemy fire through harrowing conditions, seized an enemy bunker, and killed its enemy occupants. Despite severe wounds, he continued to fight relentlessly, sustaining a significant engagement with multiple enemy personnel before paying the ultimate sacrifice. Sergeant Chapman’s heroic actions, at the cost of his life, are credited with saving the lives of his teammates.

“Our nation is rich with blessings,” President Trump said yesterday. “But our greatest blessings of all are the patriots like John.”

2…………>The Opioids Children: Crisis Next Door

 

The opioids crisis touches Americans from all walks of life, responsible for more deaths than either car accidents or gun violence last year. Addiction tears up families everywhere from inner cities along the coasts to rural communities in the heartland. Some of its victims are the smallest, most vulnerable among us.

From 2000 to 2012, America saw a five-fold increase in the share of babies born with Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS)—equivalent to one baby suffering from opiate withdrawal taken every 25 minutes, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse. Last year, 198 babies were admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, for NAS. Today, President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump will tour that facility, discussing the Administration’s three-part plan to halt the opioid crisis. The First Lady’s “Be Best” initiative also aims NAS, educating parents on the importance of healthy pregnancies. Last year, the First Lady visited Lily’s Place in West Virginia, where addiction recovery treatment is available to entire families.

3…………> Comrade Un Nukes: On Hold

 

The flaming US/China tariff’s war is apparently putting brake on de-nucleariztion dreams of Comrade Un, Mr.Xi and President Trump, leading to cancellation of Secretary Pompeo’s trip to Pyongyang, DPRK.

Secretary Pompeo looks forward to going to North Korea shortly, most likely after our Trading relationship with China is resolved. In the meantime, I would like to send my warmest regards and respect to Chairman Kim. I look forward to seeing him soon!

Additionally, because of our much tougher Trading stance with China, I do not believe they are helping with the process of denuclearization as they once were (despite the UN Sanctions which are in place)…

 I have asked Secretary of State Mike Pompeo not to go to North Korea, at this time, because I feel we are not making sufficient progress concerning the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula…

4…………> The Swastica Games: Islamic Merkeldom Of Germany

 

Paragraph 86a of Germany’s penal code has banned “use of symbols of unconstitutional organizations” since the aftermath of World War II, in which the Nazis were defeated and their leaders put on trial for crimes against humanity. Banned are not only swastikas and associated symbols, like the runic insignia of the SS, but also the hammer and sickle of the Communist Party of Germany and the green, yellow and red pendant of the Kurdish YPG.

Following a recent revision of its law banning Nazi symbolism in media, the Islamic Merkeldom of Germany is set to allow a video game featuring swastikas to go on sale in the country for the first time.

5…………> Market Report 08/24/2018, sell stop 25600, CG(12,302), 11/22/17

 

Extended position at 24400, sell stop 25400 for a gain of 1000 DIA points closed. Short post established at 25380, covering short at 25300 for an increase of 80 DIA points. New position extended 25300, sell stop at 25600 for a gain of 300 DIA points.

Stocks up 133 to 25790, DJ futures +72, attempt to stage a short covering rally continuing due to anti-tariff talks with China.

Gold up to 1212.3 and USD/CHF down 0.99 due to 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 sell stop at 25,600.
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. Read “Ziban Must Die” for more details on the coming collision of Trump’s administration with “Deep State” operators funded by the billionaires’ supporters of the New World Disorder.

1…………> Bankrate Fraud: Cut Short

The former chief financial officer of Bankrate Inc., identified as Edward J. DiMaria, 53, of Fairfield County, Connecticut, employee of a publicly traded financial services and marketing company formerly headquartered in North Palm Beach, Florida, pleaded guilty today for his role in orchestrating an accounting and securities fraud scheme that caused more than $25 million in shareholder losses. 

He pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to make false statements to a public company’s accountants, falsify a public company’s books, records and accounts, and commit securities fraud; and one count of making materially false statements to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). DiMaria pleaded guilty before U.S. Magistrate Judge Simonton of the Southern District of Florida. DiMaria is scheduled to be sentenced on Sept. 11. 

“Edward DiMaria used his position as Bankrate’s CFO to inflate the company’s earnings and mislead shareholders, auditors, and the SEC, resulting in over $25 million in losses to innocent investors,” said Acting Assistant Attorney General Cronan. “DiMaria’s conviction and the restitution, in this case, will hopefully provide some solace to Bankrate’s shareholders, while also reminding potential bad actors of the Department’s commitment to hold individuals accountable for their involvement in complex accounting and securities fraud schemes that harm investors and undermine our markets.”

2…………> Massive Healthcare Enforcement: DOJ 

Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Alex M. Azar III, announced the largest ever health care fraud enforcement action involving 601 charged defendants across 58 federal districts, including 165 doctors, nurses and other licensed medical professionals, for their alleged participation in health care fraud schemes involving more than $2 billion in false billings. Of those charged, 162 defendants, including 76 doctors, were charged for their roles in prescribing and distributing opioids and other dangerous narcotics. Thirty state Medicaid Fraud Control Units also participated in today’s arrests. In addition, HHS announced today that from July 2017 to the present, it has excluded 2,700 individuals from participation in Medicare, Medicaid, and all other Federal health care programs, which includes 587 providers excluded for conduct related to opioid diversion and abuse. 

“Health care fraud is a betrayal of vulnerable patients, and often it is theft from the taxpayer,” said Attorney General Sessions. “In many cases, doctors, nurses, and pharmacists take advantage of people suffering from drug addiction in order to line their pockets. These are despicable crimes. That’s why this Department of Justice has taken historic new steps to go after fraudsters, including hiring more prosecutors and leveraging the power of data analytics. Today the Department of Justice is announcing the largest health care fraud enforcement action in American history. This is the most fraud, the most defendants, and the most doctors ever charged in a single operation—and we have evidence that our ongoing work has stopped or prevented billions of dollars’ worth of fraud. I want to thank our fabulous partners with the FBI, DEA, our Health Care Fraud task forces, HHS, the Defense Criminal Investigative Service, IRS Criminal Investigation, Medicare, and especially the more than 1,000 federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement officers from across America who made this possible. By every measure, we are more effective at finding and prosecuting medical fraud than ever.” 

“Every dollar recovered in this year’s operation represents not just a taxpayer’s hard-earned money—it’s a dollar that can go toward providing healthcare for Americans in need,” said HHS Secretary Azar. “This year’s Takedown Day is a significant accomplishment for the American people, and every public servant involved should be proud of their work.”

3…………> Maryland Shooting: Fatalities

A gunman has opened fire at a local newspaper office in Maryland, killing five people and wounding many others when started shooting through a glass door into the newsroom.

Police said it was a targeted attack on the newspaper, which had recently received “violent” threats through social media, and a white male in his late 30s living in Maryland was arrested and is being questioned.


He has refused to co-operate with officers and a police source said that he had “damaged” his fingertips to avoid being identified, and was carrying fake grenades and smoke bombs in a backpack.

More than 170 people were escorted safely from the building

President Donald Trump was briefed on the shooting. He tweeted that his “thoughts and prayers” were with the victims and their families.

 

 

4…………> The China Connection: Fentanil 

The Chinese triads have flooded the US opioid markets with a cheap fentanyl, hence reducing demand for poppies has devastated Guerrero communities,

since the drug cartels are buying much less opium paste from growers 

Thirty years ago, a kilo of opium paste sold for as much as 80,000 pesos in the mountains of the southern state of Guerrero, but now the same product fetches just 5,000 pesos (the US $250) or 16 times less. 

The drastic price slump — exacerbated recently by a reduction in demand for opium paste due to its substitution in heroin production with the synthetic opioid fentanyl — has had a devastating impact on the Sierra region, which is located in the geographical center of the state. 

“I’ve been living in this place uninterruptedly for 35 years and 90% of the people here grow poppies, there’s no reason to fool ourselves,” a local resident told the newspaper Milenio. 

“Thirty years ago, a kilo [of opium paste] was bought for 50,000 or 80,000 pesos. The farmers handed it over to the narcos, who paid very well . . . They took care of transporting it to the clandestine laboratories and distributing it,” he explained.
