Soft Drink Companies Caught Using Big Tobacco’s Playbook To Lure Young Children
by Arjun Walia, Collective Evolution:
- The Facts:Documents obtained by researchers clearly outline the unethical and immoral actions Tobacco companies used to ‘hook’ kids onto sugary drinks. They use the same tactics they did for smoking.
- Reflect On:Why do and have our federal health regulatory agencies allow such products to be approved as safe for consumption when they are clearly linked to a variety of diseases, like cancer?
Many moves made by multiple big corporations are extremely unethical, immoral, and downright shocking. These corporations have completely compromised our federal health regulatory agencies, and it’s quite clear that they do not care about the health of the human race and will do anything when it comes to the success of the products they manufacture, including taking illegal and/or immoral actions.
Extreme COMEX Delivery Demand Continues – Craig Hemke
by Craig Hemke, Sprott Money:
Demand for physical delivery through the COMEX futures market continues, and this has significant implications for the future of the current fractional reserve and digital derivative pricing scheme.
It’s now mid-summer and the July COMEX contracts have moved into their delivery phase. The numbers are as amazing as they are historic, thus this updated summary is necessary today.
Back in late March, the COMEX nearly failed, as Covid-related sudden delivery demands in the spot gold market drove massive losses for many of the Bullion Banks. Much has been written about this since, so there’s no need to recap what happened. However, a handy summary—including an easy-to-understand explanation of the COMEX “delivery” process—can be found here: https://www.bullionstar.com/blogs/ronan-manly/the-…
Gold And Mining Stocks vs Stocks – Many Will Be Surprised
by Dave Kranzler, Investment Research Dynamics:
The precious metals sector – gold, silver and mining stocks – is in the early stages of a rabid bull market. The mainstream media has been dead silent on the performance of the precious metals, which is not a surprise to those of us who have been involved in the sector since 2001, when gold bottomed at $250, silver was around $4 and the HUI index was at 45.
Since September 2018, gold has significantly outperformed the stock market. In fact, per this chart below, measured in terms of real money the Dow is in a bear market – down 36.3% since September 2018:
There Sure’s a Lot of Brain-Dead Misreporting About the Case-Shiller Home Price Index this Morning
by Wolf Richter, Wolf Street:
No, it’s not yet a reflection of home prices during the Pandemic. Be patient. Reporters or spaghetti-code algos should have read the methodology before misleading their readers.
OK, dear reader, I feel like I’m fighting a one-man battle against media misinformation or something. I didn’t want to descend into housing-data purgatory with you, and you didn’t want to either, but now we’re on the way after the horrifically brain-dead misreporting in the media about the Case Shiller Home Price Index this morning by lazy-ass reporters, or increasingly by spaghetti-code algos, who didn’t bother to read the Case-Shiller methodology – or better yet, my past articles about the Case-Shiller Index.
Is The Nationwide Coin Shortage Being Used To Push Us Toward A Cashless Society?
by Michael Snyder, The Economic Collapse Blog:
The coin shortage in the United States is becoming quite severe, and a lot of people are deeply concerned about where this might be leading us. But if you don’t run a business or deal with coins on a regular basis, you may not even know that it is happening. On Monday, my wife told me that a lot of people on Facebook were talking about this nationwide coin shortage, and then on Tuesday Ricky Scaparo posted a couple of news stories about it, so I decided that I better start looking into this. Because if this coin shortage is going to be used to push us toward a cashless society, that makes it a really big deal.

Which Corporate Bonds the Fed Has Bought So Far?

Now They Are Trying To Tell Us That COVID-19 Is “10 Times More Infectious” Than It Was At The Beginning Of The Pandemic
by Michael Snyder, End Of The American Dream:
If the elite really do intend to use COVID-19 to fundamentally transform our society, they are going to need to continue to find ways to make it sound a lot more scary than it really is. Over the past couple of weeks, we have been endlessly barraged with news stories that boldly declare that “the second wave” is here, and now we are being told that this coronavirus is “10 times more infectious” than it was when it first started spreading in China. And we are also being told that COVID-19 “causes infected human cells to sprout tentacles loaded with viral venom to help it spread around the body”. All of that definitely sounds quite frightening, and over the past couple of weeks a lot of people have really been freaking out as the number of confirmed cases has surged.
