Michael Moore supposed released a video where he states that since career politicians hate Trump, corporate America hates Trump, Wall Street hates trump, and the media hates Trump, this will be the biggest F–K YOU vote in history. It feels like revolution time at the polls, to say the least. Maybe the computer is right after all. There are questions as to the validity of this like some much going around for this election. Nevertheless, one poll now puts Trump 1 point ahead of Hillary. Who knows? We will see the real outcome soon.

An extremely quiet start to what has potential to be an explosive week. Asia was the first market to react to the FBI story that broke over the weekend and after the initial wobble all exchanges bounced to close moderately under Fridays closes. Data released today was not so promising with Industrial Output and Retails Sales both under expectation. No action is expected from the BOJ over the next couple of days as they commence their two day meeting. The Nikkei closes the day a little weaker whilst the JPY reversed Fridays gains. In late trading we see the Yen trading above the 105 level, well above month end numbers. The PBOC set the rate for the Yuan today at 6.764, against a Friday quote of 6.7810; in late US trading the off-shore was last seen at 6.7820.

European trading was heavily influenced by the decline in the oil price today after it fell by over 3.7% today. OPEC met over the weekend but failed to find an agreement that would halt the rate of production between its members and as a result the price decline weighed heavily on sentiment at a time when confidence is a rare commodity. Core indices drifted lower in light volume with declines of between -0.3% and -0.9% and it is the uncertainty that has the markets in balance.

the US market had major difficulty moving in either direction Monday despite the weekend news and a slight pick-up in the VIX. It is no surprise that markets are nervous with many stories floating around. The next weeks results could shape markets for years ahead. The USD continues to dominate capital flow and even saw a small bounce in the price of gold this afternoon. Treasuries also found a bid on the day with the curve returning some of last weeks steepening with a 3bp fall in 10’s. US 2yrs closed at 0.84% which closes 2/10’s at +99bp. In Europe the German 10yr Bund closed 0.16% closing US/Germany spread at +167bp. Italy 10’s closed unchanged at 1.66%, Greece 10’s at 8.15% (-6bp), Turkey 9.81% (-1bp), Portugal 3.29% (-2bp) and UK Gilts at 1.24% (-1.5bp).

Gold Update for the Close of October

This is really not political. The statue involved only requires negligence, not intent. Comey before Congress told them (1) Hillary was grossly negligent and (2) she outright lied. I “believe” Comey’s hands were tied and he was not allowed to “recommend” an indictment of Hillary. So he told Congress using the very careful words of the Statute that she effectively committed a felony. This has been a political white-wash and to elect Hillary will unleash an unbelievable amount of chaos in Washington. This will ultimately destroy whatever respect for government still exists. This is the prerequisite for the decline and fall and the Democrats are more in the pocket of the Clinton Inc. machine than they are for defending the people and the integrity of the nation.

When they do not prosecute police for some of these outrageous murders of citizens, it had diminished the respect for ALL police. When they covered up priests for child molestation, it generated an image of all priests in the mind of many. If you do not prosecute the wrong-doing and and turn a blind eye, you undermine the entire system. The Democrats are betraying the people and the country by allowing this insanity to continue.

Normally, for the FBI to get a search warrant it takes less than 1 hour. Obama and Lynch of the DOJ were blocking Comey and the FBI from getting search warrants to read the emails on Anthony Weiner’s computers. Then Clinton said put it all out now, while behind the scenes he was being deliberately prevented from doing so. That way Hillary could claim he had nothing or he would release it. That was the strategy in play.

Anthony Weiner has stepped up and said that the FBI could search his computers no doubt to gain a position of cooperation for himself. That circumvents Obama and Lynch blocking the search warrants where no judge will disobey the president and DOJ.

Meanwhile, Weiner’s wife Huma Abedin was nowhere to be found on the Clinton campaign trail. Huma legally appears to be in a position to be charged with obstruction of justice. She could take down Clinton, Inc. if she survives. The joke running around is Huma will mysteriously commit suicide like Vince Foster.

Huma’s deposition in the Judicial Watch lawsuit against the State Department may be her undoing. (jw-v-state-abedin-deposition-01363).

Neera Tanden, another Clinton lower tier confidant, expressed shock to Podesta about the revelations of Hillary and emails. “Why didn’t they get this stuff out like 18 months ago? So crazy,” Tanden wrote on March 2, 2015.

“Unbelievable,” Podesta replied.

“I guess I know the answer,” Tanden replied. “They wanted to get away with it.”

Huma was the the one who had an email account on Hillary’s server.

Headine:

 Democrats should ask Clinton to step aside

I fully agree from my “opinion” perspective that Hillary is a disgrace and she should step aside and Joe Biden should be the Democratic Candidate. Americans have “become so numb by the decades of lies and cynicism oozing from Clinton Inc. that it could elect Hillary Clinton as president, even after Friday’s FBI announcement that it had reopened an investigation of her emails while secretary of state?” wrote the Tribune.

The Tribune continued: “It’s obvious the American political system is breaking down. It’s been crumbling for some time now, and the establishment elite know it and they’re properly frightened. Donald Trump, the vulgarian at their gates, is a symptom, not a cause. Hillary Clinton and husband Bill are both cause and effect.”

If Hillary is elected, and keep in mind many people are voting already before this announcement, we will not only see the most corrupt administration is history, we will also see the most scandalous and investigated President in history. She should think of the country FIRST, and not her life-long goal to be the first woman president. This is not a personal contest. This is supposed to be the leader of the country and they like to claim to be the leader of the free world. The stakes are too high to allow Hillary to take office. Joe Biden should take the flag and lead the charge for the Democrats.

This is my “opinion” and it has nothing to do with Trump. This is the peak in government (2015.75) and for Hillary to be the choice just makes our model want to turn out the lights itself and wake up when she is gone. Yes it has been forecasting the biggest spike in 3rd Party activity. That is obviously Trump because the Republican elite do not support him, nor do career politicians, corporate America, Wall Street, and of course the media. So it looks like the computer was right on that one as well since he is a default 3rd party all on his own and his biggest donors are the middle class individuals, not the Republican money machine. They are backing Hillary.  We should see the largest voter turnout for the past 23 elections. Those who have already voted for Hillary in the pre-election ballot schemes in many states, cannot now change their vote. So it will depend entirely upon the masses coming out as they did in the BREXIT vote against the establishment.

Our model says we are headed down anyway. But if Hillary is elected, the magnitude of that decline may be much worse than expected. We have almost a perfect Double Monthly Bearish Reversal in the Dow Jones Industrial Index at the 17330 level and a Bullish standing at 18625. In gold we have a Monthly Bearish Reversal at 12420 and a Minor Bullish at 13060. In Crude Oil, we have 4933 coming into play for the closing of October.

We have interest rates that appear to be getting ready to lift off after a 5,000 year historic low. Keep in mind, that a collapse in confidence of government will cause more and more people to shun government bonds and hoard even more cash.

According to reliable sources, there may be several hundred thousand emails on Weiner’s laptop that are copies of Hillary’s emails she withheld and deleted claiming they were personal. There is a deep feud within the FBI who believe Hillary should have been indicted. It appears that Comey’s hand was forced by the threat of FBI agents leaking information that would show the FBI yielded to political pressure from Obama, the Democratic Party, and Clinton campaign to keep all relevant material out of the public eye until after the election. It is clear that Hillary should just step aside for her country. If elected, she would be embattled for years with investigations, impeachment motions, and corruption investigations. She would get nothing done anyhow. The pressure from Obama and DOJ Lynch, is very political to say the least. It demonstrates that their politics comes before the law, ethics, God, and country.

Our models have been showing a rising trend for earthquakes in several key positions. They too are cyclical in nature and as such can also be forecast. The earthquake that hit shortly after our post at 7:41 a.m local time in Italy, is the strongest since 1980. However, it is also not the “big” one just yet. We have also been monitoring a major extinct volcano that appears to be coming alive just southeast of Rome. That appears to be the big one.

Earthquakes are well documented in Rome for centuries. In 217 AD, early in the reign of Macrinus (217-218AD), the Colosseum was struck by lightning and badly damaged, which was viewed as an ill omen for the tenure of the new emperor. By 218 AD the Severan dynasty was once more on the throne, in the guise of Elagabalus (218-222AD), and repairs to the Colosseum were begun. However, work continued under Severus Alexander (222-235AD) so that by 223 AD the building was sufficiently restored to be used once more be used. It became a symbol of recovery much as the Empire State Building served as such a symbol during the Great Depression. Nonetheless, it took a decade to be finish the repairs, which were complete during the reign of Gordian III, who also released a small issue of medallions to announce its completion. The “big one” may arrive 2020/2021.
