| 1…………> Keep Open: Coal, Nuke Plants |
| “President Donald J. Trump believes in total energy independence and dominance, and that keeping America’s energy grid and infrastructure strong and secure protects our national security, public safety, and economy from intentional attacks and natural disasters,” White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement Friday.“Unfortunately, impending retirements of fuel-secure power facilities are leading to a rapid depletion of a critical part of our Nation’s energy mix and impacting the resilience of our power grid.”
|
| “President Trump has directed Secretary of Energy Rick Perry to prepare immediate steps to stop the loss of these resources and looks forward to his recommendations,” Sanders added.
|
| The move would be unprecedented because the plants in question are at risk of closing down due to increased competition from abundant natural gas and renewable energy sources. The policy would coerce the owners of power grids across the nation to purchase electricity from coal and nuclear plants.

| 2…………> Indian Dust Storm: Casualties |
| “We have reports of 16 people dead due to the storm which started on Friday evening. The casualties are from various districts of the state. The Moradabad district reported the highest number of deaths — seven.” T.P. Gupta, an official at the State’s Relief Commissioner Office in Lucknow, told Anadolu Agency.
Mahesh Palawat, the head of private weather agency Skymet, told Anadolu News agency that the intensity of Friday’s dust storm was “severe” in some places. “In most places, there is no prediction of any similar dust storm in the days ahead,” he said. He said at least 12 people were also injured in the storm. Local media reported that most of the deaths in the state were due to houses collapsing and trees falling. |

| 3…………> Ptolemy IV Coin: In Aussie Rainforest |
| A bronze coin minted during the reign of Egypt’s Pharaon Ptolemy IV, who ruled the country between 221 and 204BC, was found more than two millennia later in 1912 Australia, buried a few inches underground in the depths of the far north Queensland rainforest by a man named Andrew Henderson, who had abandoned the gold mining fields of Victoria for a warmer climate.
“Henderson got a block of land in the scrub and he became a settler,” far north Queensland historian, Dave Phoenix said. “One day in 1912 he was building a fence line and as he was digging a hole for a fence post his shovel hit something metallic. “He reached into the hole and pulled out this coin.” Henderson paid little attention to the coin at the time; when he returned home, he put it in a drawer and all but forgot about it for the next 40 years.
|
| Among the most probable of theories is that the coin dropped out of a miner’s pack as they walked along the Aboriginal trail on the way to the Hodgkinson goldfields west of Cairns. |

| 4…………> US Skid Row: UN Report |
| UN report on the persistence of extreme poverty in the US concludes that is a political choice made by people in power, and also criticizes the government policy for making healthcare a privilege rather than a right. Poverty in the United States is widespread and worsening under President Donald Trump, according to a human rights investigator for the United Nations.
Philip Alston, the UN special investigator on extreme poverty, said the Trump administration appears determined to pull the social safety net out from under millions of poor people while rewarding the wealthy with tax cuts. In his report, Alston called on the US to address the underlying problems facing the underclass rather than “punishing and imprisoning the poor.”
|
| He noted that welfare benefits are being slashed and access to health care has become more difficult during Trump’s presidency. This, in conjunction with “financial windfalls” for the super-rich and big corporations, has significantly widened the inequality gap.
Since President Lyndon Johnson’s war on poverty in the 1960s US social policy towards the poor has been “neglectful at best,” Alston said. “But the policies pursued over the past year seem deliberately designed to remove basic protections from the poorest, punish those who are not in employment and make even basic health care into a privilege to be earned rather than a right of citizenship,” he said. In a country of about 325 million people, nearly 41 million live in poverty — including 18.5 million in extreme poverty. Alston said children accounted for 33 percent of the poor. No other industrialized country had so many children mired in poverty, he said. The data used to compile the UN report only covers the period through 2016, so there are no comparative figures that could measure poverty levels before and after Trump took office in January. |

| 5…………> ISIS Aficionado: Miami |
| Vicente Adolfo Solano, 53, a citizen of Honduras residing in Miami, was sentenced to 210 months in prison, to be followed by a lifetime of supervised release, for attempting to provide material support to the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS), a designated foreign terrorist organization, after planning to detonate an explosive device at a Miami mall. Solano pleaded guilty on March 14.
|
| Solano told an individual, who later became a Confidential Human Source (CHS) for the government, that he was upset with the United States and wanted to conduct an attack in Miami. Later, Solano told this CHS that he wanted to join ISIS.
Solano planned to place and detonate an explosive device in a crowded area of a popular Miami mall. Solano discussed his plot with the CHS and two undercover FBI employees. According to the complaint, Solano provided three videos to the CHS, in which Solano makes pro-ISIS statements and expresses anti-U.S. sentiments. Just prior to his arrest, Solano took possession of what he believed was an explosive device, took steps to arm it, and walked toward a mall entrance in order to carry out his attack. Unbeknownst to Solano, the device was inert and did not pose a risk to the public. Solano was taken into custody prior to entering the Mall.

1…………> Welcome To Mars: Iraq Sand Storm
A severe sandstorm struck al-Muthanna province in southern Iraq, engulfing the landscape in a red dust, darkening the skies at around midday, another tick in dust storm cycles that have pummeled the country, blowing sand and dust into urban areas throughout the country.
Researchers say climate changes are correlated with a decrease the annual rainfall and environmental changes, such as drying of the marshes, land degradation, and desertification: i.e. a consequence of the global warming.

2…………> PLA Air Patrols: Bashi Channel
While President Trump is ready to dance “chick to chick” with Comrade Un in Singapore, offering money to rebuild North Korea and they give up their nukes, Mr.Xi’s PLA Air Force conducted patrol training near China’s island of Taiwan over the Bashi Channel, as advanced Su-35 fighter jets, KJ-2000 airborne early warning aircraft flew in formation with the H-6Ks nuclear-capable bombers in a new island patrol pattern.
Two groups of H-6K bombers started the training simultaneously from both north and south of Taiwan island, with one group flying clockwise and the other going counter-clockwise, escorted by Su-35 and J-11 fighter jets over the Bashi Channel and Miyako Strait regions.
“The air force has the resolve, the confidence, and the ability to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity,” PLA spokesperson said.

3…………> Trump vs New World Disorder: Merkel
“I believe that it’s not right to unilaterally cancel an accord that was voted and unanimously approved at the UN Security Council. That damages trust in the international order,” the Islamic Merkeldom of Germany leader Chancellor Angela Merkel said at an international conference in the northern German city of Munster.
President Trump accused Iran of lying about its nuclear program and pulled the U.S. out of the landmark deal that world powers struck in 2015, and furthermore accused Tehran of destabilizing the region with “sinister activities” in Syria, Yemen, and other places around the world.
While reaffirming Germany’s commitment to the nuclear deal with Iran, Ms. Merkel “criticized” Tehran over its stance against Israel, its ballistic missiles program and its activities in Syria, as have her two cousins, Hillary “I had no recollection of my email server” Clinton, and our 1st Muslim President, Grand Ayatollah Barack Obama, whose slammed the Islamic Republic of Iran policies by releasing $150 billion dollars of bank credits, and by sending his Shia brothers a planeload full of US cash, borrowed at 40c on the dollar from China.
Viva Merkel, Viva Hillary, Viva Grand Ayatollah Barack Obama!

4…………> Sinaloa Cartel Soldier: Life In Prison
A Guatemalan national identified as Waldemar Lorenzana-Cordon, 53, was sentenced to life in prison following a March 2016 trial that resulted in a conviction for his participation in an international drug trafficking conspiracy. He was responsible for the distribution of multi-ton quantities of cocaine for illegal importation into the United States.
“Waldemar Lorenzana-Cordon was a drug kingpin whose criminal organization had close ties to the violent Sinaloa Cartel and was responsible for transporting massive amounts of cocaine to be sold on our streets,” said Acting Assistant Attorney General Cronan. “Lorenzana-Cordon’s life sentence sends a powerful message to leaders of drug trafficking organizations that, if they send their poison to our country, the United States and our international partners will work tirelessly to bring them to justice, no matter where in the world they may reside. I thank the dedicated prosecutors of the Criminal Division’s Narcotic and Dangerous Drug Section and law enforcement officers with the Drug Enforcement Administration’s Bilateral Investigations Group for their outstanding work on this important case.”
5…………> Market Report 05/11/2018, sell stop 24600, CG(9392), 11/22/17
After a sharp reversal following President Trump “mission accomplished” announcement in Syria, market opened on a gap, forcing short covering, triggering stop at 24050, leading to a loss of 50 points.
Current position long 24100, sell stop 24450 closed for a gain of 350 DIA points, position short at 24450, cover short closed at 24250 for a gain of 200 DIA points.
Current position long DIA at 24250, sell stop was closed at 24250 for a loss of 50 points, and a short position established at 24250, cover short 24200 for a gain of 50 DIA points.
A cash dispersal to AAPL shareowners in the amount of $100 billion dollars sparked a rally, new position long at 24200, stop 24250 for a gain of 400 dollars.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
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 92 to 24831, DJ futures 118, attempt to stage a covering short rally.
Gold up to 1318.4 and USD/CHF at 1.00 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 sell stop at 24,600.
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.

1…………> Back To Drawing Board: Shutdown
Following U.S. Congress fiasco following the collapse of the deal on the 700,000 “DACA Dreamer” immigrants caused by the treachery of Democratic Senate minority leader Charles “I cried tears for the Muslims” Schumer, President Donald Trump indicated that a resolution “could very well not happen” by a deadline next month.
“We want to make a deal. I think they want to use it for political purposes for elections. I really am not happy with the way it’s going from the standpoint of the Democrats,” Trump said at an event in Virginia with U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials, not missing the opportunity to blame the Democratic lawmakers for the failure to reach an agreement.
GOP are trying to answer Democrats’ bluff on DACA, but the Democrats look even more willing to allow a shutdown than they were last month.
“What this has become is a very absurd game of chicken,” analysts said

2…………> US Not Alone: Israel Deportations
Despite the fact Israel erected barriers along its border with Egypt, 60,000 migrants managed to slip into the country, out of which 20,000 were sent back. The others were locked up in Holots large detention center in Israel’s remote southern desert, and now authorities have started notifying African asylum seekers that they have two months to leave, an action that have outraged liberal Israelis and international rights groups.
The “Go Back Carrot” letter is offering a plane ticket and $3,500 (€2,800) to some 15,000 to 20,000 African migrants, mostly single men from Eritrea and Sudan.
They were told to leave had until late March or face jail and eventual forced deportation.
3………..> “Fake News” Pocahontas: Natives
A Cherokee woman criticized Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) for refusing to back down on her claim of Cherokee ancestry, and using it to secure a Harvard University minority female faculty membership, applying for the job as a Native American.
“As a mixed Native woman, I get to relive the stereotypes that Warren perpetuates every day. I’m not ‘part-Cherokee’, I am Cherokee. [We’re] not bit fractions of imagined Indians that used to exist. [Warren should] take responsibility for her false claim. I call her Pocahontas, and that’s an insult to Pocahontas. She’s a hopeless case.” Rebecca Nagle of Oklahoma told Fox News Jesse Watters.
4…………> Snowy In “Snowland”:Moscow
