1…………> We Are Not Your Toy: Trump

President Trump took credit for what has happened in Korea, as the leaders of the North and South agreed to denuclearize the peninsula, holding hands, planting trees and dancing in the streets of public opinion, but he acknowledged the deal could still fail to deliver peace to the region.

 

“When I began, people were saying that was an impossibility, they said there were two alternatives — let ’em have what they have or go to war. And now we have a much better alternative than anybody thought even possible. And if I can’t do it, it’ll be a very tough time for a lot of countries and a lot of people. It’s certainly something that I hope I can do for the world.[But] we are not going to be played, okay. We are going to hopefully make a deal, but if we don’t that’s fine”, Mr. Trump cautioned.
 
 
New Secretary of State Mr. Mike Pompeo, was hopeful but still cautious:

“Our objective remains unchanged. We are committed to achieving permanent, verifiable, irreversible dismantling of North Korean’s weapons of mass destruction programs without delay. Until then the global maximum pressure campaign will continue. I am always careful. There is a lot of history here. Promises have been made, hopes have been raised and then dashed,” he warned.

 

2…………> Swept By Huge Wave: Down Under

A man in his 40s was flown to Fiona Stanley Hospital in Perth, Australia for emergency treatment after he and another man were swept from rocks while fishing at an infamous beach in southern Western Australia.

The pair, who are from Mount Barker, were not wearing life jackets or helmets when they slipped into the ocean at Salmon Holes near Albany.

3…………> Stop The Rain: Peru Sacrifice

Archaeologists in northern Peru say they have found evidence of what could be the world’s largest single case of child sacrifice at burial site known as Las Llamas, containing the skeletons of 140 children who were between the ages of five and 14 when they were ritually sacrificed during a ceremony about 550 years ago.

 

Researchers studying the site deduced that the children may have been sacrificed in response to El Nino-related flooding located near the modern day city of Trujillo, also containing the remains of 200 young llamas apparently sacrificed on the same day.

The burial site was built by the ancient Chimu empire.

4…………> In The Footsteps of Lord Enki: Making Life

How can one cell build an entire living organism? Harvard Medical School and Harvard University scientists profiled every cell in developing zebrafish and western claw-toed frog embryos to create a genome map using single-cell sequencing technology. 

The research team recorded the paths of individual cells over the first 24 hours of the life of an embryo, and the order genes are switched on or off, and when embryonic cells transition into new cell states and types.

“With these datasets, if someone wants to make a specific cell type, they now have the recipe for the steps that those cells took as they formed in the embryo. We’ve in some sense established a gold standard reference for how complex differentiation processes actually progress in embryos, and set an example for how to systematically reconstruct these types of processes,” said Dr. Allon Klein, assistant professor of systems biology and co-corresponding author of two of the three studies.

5…………> Death Control: Bats Genome

Scientists from Boston University studying the genome of the Egyptian fruit bat found average families of genes related to the mammalian immune system, with interferon and natural killer genes radically different from their counterparts in other mammals, a finding that may explain why bats managed to carry and transmit deadly pathogens without getting sick themselves.

 

They found two gene families, first is type 1 interferon genes, called “the first line of defense” against viruses,  and second is natural killer or “NK” cell receptors that are able to quickly recognize and respond to virus-infected cells.

 

“What we learn from bats may help us in the development of pharmacological agents,” said Thomas Kepler, a professor of microbiology at Boston University and the paper’s author.

1…………> Crooked BrokerHSBC

The former head of global foreign exchange cash trading at HSBC Bank plc, a subsidiary of HSBC Holdings plc (collectively HSBC), was sentenced to prison today for his role defrauding an HSBC client through a scheme commonly referred to as “front running.” 

Mark Johnson, 51, a United Kingdom citizen, was sentenced to serve 24 months in prison by U.S. District Judge Nicholas Garaufis of the Eastern District of New York. In addition, Judge Garaufis ordered that the defendant pay a fine of $300,000. A federal jury convicted the defendant on Oct. 23, 2017, following a four-week trial, of one count of wire fraud conspiracy and eight counts of wire fraud. 

“Mark Johnson, an executive at one of the world’s largest financial institutions, cheated his client out of millions and now he’s going to prison for it,” said Acting Assistant Attorney General Cronan. “This sentencing should serve as a warning to those who engage in crooked financial schemes: The Justice Department’s Criminal Division and our law enforcement partners are watching. We are committed to protecting our financial system from harm and we will hold corporate executives accountable for their crimes.” 

Johnson and other traders acting under his direction purchased Pounds Sterling for their own benefit in their HSBC “proprietary” accounts, then caused the $3.5 billion foreign exchange transaction to be executed in a manner that was designed to “ramp,” or drive up, the price of the Pound Sterling, benefiting their proprietary positions and HSBC at the expense of their client.

2…………> IS Attacker: In Prison

Fareed Mumuni, 23, of Staten Island, New York, was sentenced today to 17 years in prison, to be followed by 10 years of supervised release, after pleading guilty to all counts in an indictment charging him with conspiring and attempting to provide material support to the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS), a designated foreign terrorist organization, assaulting and conspiring to assault federal officers and attempted murder of federal officers. 

“The women and men of law enforcement put their lives on the line to keep us safe every day. We will not tolerate attacks on them or plots to kill Americans,” said Assistant Attorney General Demers. “I applaud the tireless efforts of the agents and prosecutors that led to the defendant’s arrest and conviction. The National Security Division remains committed to defending our country and taking action against those who would harm it.”

On June 17, 2015, during the execution of a search warrant at his residence in Staten Island, Mumuni charged at an FBI agent with a kitchen knife as the agents attempted to clear the house. Mumuni stabbed the FBI agent multiple times in the torso, using sufficient force to break off the tip of the knife. The agent was saved from serious injury or death only by his metal magazine carrier, which deflected and chipped the point of Mumuni’s knife while Mumuni was thrusting it into the agent’s side. Fortunately, the agent sustained only minor injuries.

3…………> Mr. Xi New Ballistic Missile: Dongfeng26 

China is pitting in service a new medium long-range ballistic missile, armed with a conventional or nuclear head. PLA said that it was developed by Chinese scientists and engineers, it is country’s intellectual property, it can precision strike on land and sea, and destroy medium to large naval targets.

4…………..> Chinese  F
entanyl Ring: Busted

A total of 28 people were charged with conspiracy to distribute fentanyl and other lethal drugs resulting in deaths and injury, criminals led by Na Chu, 37; Yeyou Chu, 36; Cuiying Liu, 62; and Keping Zhang, 62, all Chinese nationals, who were charged by a superseding indictment returned on Jan. 18, with international money laundering conspiracy, Attorney General Jeff Sessions, announced today.

The charges come as part of “Operation Denial,” an Organized Crime and Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF) investigation into the international trafficking of fentanyl and other lethal drugs, and was significantly aided by the national and international coordination led by the multi-agency Special Operations Division (S.O.D.) near Washington D.C. as part of “Operation Deadly Merchant.” The investigation started in North Dakota on Jan. 3, 2015, with the overdose death in Grand Forks of 18-year-old Bailey Henke.

“Fentanyl and its analogs killed more Americans than any other drug in 2016, and the vast majority of it comes from China,” said Attorney General Sessions. “The defendants in this case allegedly trafficked fentanyl from China to 11 states from coast to coast. As a result, Americans died in at least three states. I want to thank the U.S. Attorney’s Offices in North Dakota and Oregon, the Criminal Division’s Narcotic and Dangerous Drug Section, DEA, HSI, the North Dakota Bureau of Criminal Investigations, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and dozens more law enforcement officers across the United States and Canada who helped make these indictments possible. Today’s indictments are a step toward dismantling an alleged international fentanyl trafficking operation and eventually ending this nation’s unprecedented drug crisis.”

5…………> Market Report 04/27/2018, sell stop 24250, CG(9392), 11/22/17

In anticipation of missile strikes against Syria market slid nearly 300 points, triggering sell stop at 24400 for a gain of 50 points, and initiating a sell short position at 24,000 with a cover short stop at 24050 for a loss of 50 DIA points.

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 at 24250 for a loss of 50 points

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.

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 down 11 to 24311, DJ futures at -37, attempt to stage a covering short rally.

Gold up to 1324.1 and USD/CHF at 0.99 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 24,250. 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 The Future: ABBA

“I heard about Abba releasing new songs and I became instantly really excited to know what the songs were and how they’re going to sound. Will it have that 1970s sound or will it be up to date? It’s brilliant really because we love Abba’s music to death. I just hope they’re great songs, I hope they’re equivalent to Dancing Queen or Mamma Mia”, that is how Rod Stephen, founder of Abba tribute act Bjorn Again, described the new material as “a whole new beginning”. 


Pop group Abba returned to the studio to record their first new music since the 1980s, with the Swedish quartet saying that the new material was an “unexpected consequence” of their recent decision to put together a “virtual reality” tour.

“We all four felt that, after some 35 years, it could be fun to join forces again and go into the studio,” the band said on Instagram.

“And it was like time stood still.”

2…………> Another Liberal “Hot Pants”: Brokaw

We live in historic times, when every week or so, a “Liberal Legend” will fall into  the ever-expanding “sex-addicts” trashcan of Hollywood’s “Lover boys”, starting with “America’s dad” Mr. Bill Cosby who was recently sentenced to prison for raping a woman, followed by the “Couch Fiasco” of Mr. Harvey Weinstein, almost surpassed by NBC Matt Lauer who resigned due to abundant sex claims, and the list goes on and on, all along ignoring, or deliberately forgetting Antony “Hot pants” Weiner, the disgraced husband of Uma Abeding, and topping the “Top 100 List”, the incomparable “Lord Of The Women Abusers,” Bill “I did not have sex with that woman” Clinton.


Now “poker-faced” NBC anchor Tom Brokaw, a “Pillar of Liberal wisdom and Integrity” has joined the “Hot Pants” team after being accused by a war correspondent named Linda Vester that he groped her, twice tried to forcibly kiss her and made inappropriate overtures attempting to have an affair.


What is the matter with all those people, to have the energy to be a “superstar,” and at the same time trying to slide their long, “love” searching fingers around an innocent woman in a trek for more and more fun? Too much “oyster sauce” in the soup? It could be.

3…………> Chinese Spies: Huston

Shan Shi, 53, of Houston, and Gang Liu, 32, a Chinese national, were charged yesterday by superseding indictment with conspiracy to commit economic espionage for the benefit of CBM-Future New Material Science and Technology Co. Ltd. (CBMF), a Chinese company based in Taizhou. Both businessmen were previously indicted in June 2017 for conspiracy to commit theft of trade secrets.

According to court records, Shi and Liu conspired with others to commit economic espionage and steal trade secrets from a U.S. engineering firm that produces syntactic foam, a strong, lightweight material with commercial and military uses. Shan; Liu; Uka Kalu Uche, 36, of Spring, Texas; Samuel Abotar Ogoe, 75, of Missouri City, Texas; Kui Bo, 41, a Canadian citizen who had been residing in the Dallas area; and Hui Huang, 33, a Chinese national, were indicted in June 2017 on a charge of conspiracy to commit theft of trade secrets. An additional defendant pleaded guilty to the charge in December 2017. The superseding indictment includes that charge, adds the conspiracy to commit economic espionage count against Shi and Liu, and includes a federal money laundering conspiracy count against Shi. CBMF and CBMI have also been indicted on all three charges.

5…………> No Anti-Communist Farting: China


In a new push to cement the ever-expanding power of President Trump’s “very good friend”, China’s President, Chairman of the Military Commission and Supreme Commander of the PLA Mr.Xi, a man sharing a “good chemistry” with a pillar of capitalistic thinking and billionaire NY developer, China authorities have introduced a bill criminalizes defamation of revolutionary heroes.


In his immortal book “The Endless Beginning”, George Sorbane joked that the “1st Secretary of the Planetary CommissionComrade Ibrahim Hon Shu Danielovich Brewster, a Chinese-born Muslim raised by his Jewish aunt and then adopted by a lesbian couple of Danielovich Brewster, will have his first act in office to fit all cows, horses and seniors citizens with fart suppressors, and school curriculum be reduced to shopping, hanging out and smoking pot. Anyone caught studying Algebra was to get 20 lashes in the rear”.

In 2013 this was a joke, but the path of enshrining Mr.Xi as the “New Mao” is not funny at all, in fact deeply troubling, even today as the “Fake News Media” is reluctantly mentioning the “hand-holding” by the two Koreas strong men, mulling if Trump, Un & Co should get a Novel prize, completely ignoring the fact that PLA is patrolling the South China Sea in force, threatening to go to war if the pirated atolls are attacked.


The “Heroes and Martyrs Protection Law” it is prohibiting misrepresentation, defamation, to profane or deny the deeds and spirits of heroes and martyrs, or to praise or beautify invasions,” all rooted in a Beijing court ruling ordering a historian to apologize for two essays written in 2013 that questioned if the story of the “Five Heroes of Langya Mountain” — Communist soldiers who jumped to their death from a mountain peak instead of surrendering to Japanese troops — really happened.

It sounds very much like George Sorbane’s story, but ain’t funny, ain’t it?
