newswars--2020-07-10--NYPD Places Limits on Retirements After ‘Troubling’ 400 Percent Surge

New York City police officers are feeling abandoned by their department and by city leaders and are showing their displeasure and hopelessness by filing for retirement .
In the last week alone , 179 NYPD officers have filed for retirement compared to 35 in 2019 , the department told The Hill .
Since May 25 — the day that George Floyd died while in Minneapolis police custody — 503 NYPD officers have filed for retirement , compared to 287 who filed for retirement during the same period last year .
It ’ s gotten so bad that the department is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can file for retirement .
The pension office has been so overwhelmed that they are only accepting 40 applications a day .
One officer told the Post that they have had so many applications that the pension office has had to limit the number of appointments to around 40 a day .
“ Apparently , the pension section is only taking a certain amount of people per day and I think they are backed up till late July , early August , ” one officer said .
“ That ’ s why you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ day , because they are only doing like 35 to 40 a day , by appointment.
” Well , Mr. Mayor , that ’ s one way to “ defund the police.
” It appears that most of the officers retiring are among the most experienced on the force .
The increase in retirements is a loss to New Yorkers , according to Paul DiGiacomo , president of the Detectives ’ Endowment Association .
“ The increase in detectives and other cops filing for retirement comes as no shock , ” DiGiacomo said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to work every day and be demoralized and vilified as they risk their lives to protect people.
” “ New Yorkers are losing their most experienced crime fighters because of continued violence in the city and the apathy of misguided elected officials , ” DiGiacomo said .
Being vilified and abandoned by the public is one thing .
But if the department and the city ’ s political leaders had their backs , most police officers would be able to cope with the public ’ s hate .
But in New York and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Blasio and spineless department leaders have left their officers hanging out to dry , too frightened of the mob to stand up for them , calculating the political cost of supporting them .
Adding to the cops ’ woes is the “ bail reform ” that releases most suspects immediately after they ’ re caught .
A Manhattan detective also noted the impact of controversial criminal justice and bail reform laws .
“ It is frustrating — you work on a case and then the suspect is let go , ” the 25-year @ @ @ @ @ @ @ job on the line , when no one appreciates you or has your back ?
” The leader of the police union was even blunter .
In a prepared statement , the head of the Police Benevolent Association blamed lawmakers for having “ completely dismantled our justice system ” and called the rash of retirement applications “ one answer to the question on every police officer ’ s mind : How are we supposed to do our job in this environment ?
” “ And now that crime is out of control , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , too , ” PBA president Pat Lynch said .
Eventually , the stupidity of the “ defund the police ” movement will be exposed and the backlash will once again favor the cop on the beat .
With murders and other violent crime spiraling out of control in major cities , it ’ s only a matter of time before even black communities will be calling for more police .

New York City police officers are feeling abandoned by their department and by city leaders and are showing their displeasure and hopelessness by filing for retirement.
The Hill:
In the last week alone, 179 NYPD officers have filed for retirement compared to 35 in 2019, the department told The Hill.
Since May 25 — the day that George Floyd died while in Minneapolis police custody — 503 NYPD officers have filed for retirement, compared to 287 who filed for retirement during the same period last year.
It’s gotten so bad that the department is now limiting the number of officers who can file for retirement. The pension office has been so overwhelmed that they are only accepting 40 applications a day.
Independent:
One officer told the Post that they have had so many applications that the pension office has had to limit the number of appointments to around 40 a day.
“Apparently, the pension section is only taking a certain amount of people per day and I think they are backed up till late July, early August,” one officer said. “That’s why you don’t see like 100 a day, because they are only doing like 35 to 40 a day, by appointment.”
Well, Mr. Mayor, that’s one way to “defund the police.”
It appears that most of the officers retiring are among the most experienced on the force.
CNN:
The increase in retirements is a loss to New Yorkers, according to Paul DiGiacomo, president of the Detectives’ Endowment Association.

Being vilified and abandoned by the public is one thing. But if the department and the city’s political leaders had their backs, most police officers would be able to cope with the public’s hate.
But in New York and elsewhere, radical politicians like Mayor de Blasio and spineless department leaders have left their officers hanging out to dry, too frightened of the mob to stand up for them, calculating the political cost of supporting them.
Adding to the cops’ woes is the “bail reform” that releases most suspects immediately after they’re caught.
New York Post:
A Manhattan detective also noted the impact of controversial criminal justice and bail reform laws.
“It is frustrating — you work on a case and then the suspect is let go,” the 25-year veteran said.
“Why put your job on the line, when no one appreciates you or has your back?”
The leader of the police union was even blunter.
In a prepared statement, the head of the Police Benevolent Association blamed lawmakers for having “completely dismantled our justice system” and called the rash of retirement applications “one answer to the question on every police officer’s mind: How are we supposed to do our job in this environment?”
“And now that crime is out of control, they want to blame us for that, too,” PBA president Pat Lynch said.
Eventually, the stupidity of the “defund the police” movement will be exposed and the backlash will once again favor the cop on the beat. With murders and other violent crime spiraling out of control in major cities, it’s only a matter of time before even black communities will be calling for more police.

ECHR Confirms It Received Dutch Claim Against Russia Over MH17 Case
The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) confirmed on Friday that it had received the Netherlands’ claim against Russia regarding its alleged role in the 2014 deadly crash of flight MH17 over eastern Ukraine.
“We confirm that the Court has received an application filed by the NL [the Netherlands] Government and directed against the Russian Federation concerning flight MH17. It is currently under examination and further details will be given in due course,” the ECHR said.
ECHR Has Not Notified Russia About Dutch Claim Over MH17 Crash
The Russian authorities have not received any notification from the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) about the Netherlands’ claim related to the circumstances of the MH17 flight’s crash over eastern Ukraine back in 2014, the Russian Ministry of Justice said on Friday.
“The Russian Federation authorities have not been notified by the ECHR about the Netherlands filing a claim against Russia over the Malaysian Boeing’s crash in 2014 in the skies over Ukraine,” the Ministry of Justice said in a statement.
The ministry added it would engage in necessary action in cooperation with relevant agencies if it was notified about the claim.
“Before considering the claim on the merits, the ECHR should evaluate its applicability, with the participation of the sides. This stage could last for several years. It should be noted that Russia firmly refutes accusations of playing a role in the Boeing’s crash,” the statement read on.
MH17 Crash Over Donbass
Malaysian Airlines Flight MH17 was downed over the Donbass region in eastern Ukraine on 17 July 2014, amid a military conflict in the county caused by a violent coup d’état in Kiev. Ukrainian forces in the area were clashing with militia from the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic and Lugansk People’s Republic, which refused to submit to Kiev and expressed their intention to unite with Russia.

Almost immediately after the incident, the US and its European allies claimed without presenting any evidence that Russia was responsible for the tragedy. These allegations were used by Washington and Brussels as a pretext to introduce sanctions against Moscow, while Russia repeatedly denied the accusations.
A Dutch-led Joint Investigation Team (JIT), formed soon after the crash, invited Ukraine, Belgium, and Australia to join the probe, but excluded Russia from the investigation.
In 2018, JIT claimed that the plane was shot down by a Buk missile system, which allegedly came from the 53rd Anti-Aircraft Missile Brigade of the Russian military, citing “classified information” provided by the Dutch and US authorities that could not be revealed. It was also noted that the team used images from social networks to prove the claims.
Addressing the allegations, Moscow conducted its own investigation showing that the Buk missile which allegedly hit the flight was made at the Dolgoprudny Plant in the Moscow Region in 1986, delivered to a military unit in Ukraine, and remained there after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. However, the evidence was completely ignored by the Dutch-led investigation.
After several years of investigating, JIT has named 3 Russian citizens (Oleg Pulatov, Igor Girkin, and Sergey Dubinsky) as well as one Ukrainian (Leonid Kharchenko) as suspects in the MH17 downing.

Scientists at Harvard University and the Black Hole Initiative (BHI) have developed a new method to find black holes in the outer solar system, and along with it, determine once-and-for-all the true nature of the hypothesized Planet Nine.

Dr. Avi Loeb, Frank B. Baird Jr. Professor of Science at Harvard, and Amir Siraj, a Harvard undergraduate student, have developed the new method to search for black holes in the outer solar system based on flares that result from the disruption of intercepted comets. The study suggests that the LSST has the capability to find black holes by observing for accretion flares resulting from the impact of small Oort cloud objects.

Future searches for primordial black holes could be informed by the new calculation. “This method can detect or rule out trapped planet-mass black holes out to the edge of the Oort cloud, or about a hundred thousand astronomical units,” said Siraj. “It could be capable of placing new limits on the fraction of dark matter contained in primordial black holes.”
The upcoming LSST is expected to have the sensitivity required to detect accretion flares, while current technology isn’t able to do so without guidance. “LSST has a wide field of view, covering the entire sky again and again, and searching for transient flares,” said Loeb. “Other telescopes are good at pointing at a known target, but we do not know exactly where to look for Planet Nine.

In addition, its unprecedented depth will allow for the detection of flares resulting from relatively small impactors, which are more frequent than large ones.”
The new paper focuses on the famed Planet Nine as a prime first candidate for detection. The subject of much speculation, most theories suggest that Planet Nine is a previously undetected planet, but it may also flag the existence of a planet-mass black hole.

newswars--2020-07-10--Why Savings Are So Critical to Improving the Standard of Living

Among the essential concepts Mises analyzes and dwells upon in Human Action ( 1949 ) , there is the notion of capital .
Mises conceives of capital as a factor of production intrinsically different from land and labor .
In fact , capital is not nature given—its total amount increases or decreases depending upon human choices and intertemporal preferences—and its accumulation is the only way conducive to technological progress , higher productivity of labor , and better living standards .
Lastly , capital is conceived in Human Action as strictly related to the time element—i.e.
, working time stored and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ attain a greater or more sophisticated output .
Human action entails production in order to remove uneasiness and improve acting humans ’ well-being .
In order to produce , acting agents can—and need to—employ factors of production : land , labor , and capital .
Among them , however , only land and labor are naturally given ( i.e.
, original ) factors of production ; capital , instead , needs to be created by human beings themselves—it can not come into existence otherwise—and can be considered as a produced factor of production @ @ @ @ @ @ @ erred in classifying “ capital ” as an independent factor of production along with the nature-given material resources and labor .
The capital goods—the factors of further production produced in the past—are not an independent factor….They are rather labor , nature , and time stored up .
( Mises [ 1949 ] 1998 , p. 490 ) Capital is a label encompassing any means of production different from natural resources ( i.e.
, land ) and labor ; hence , it includes both machines ( fixed capital ) and intermediate products ( circulating @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is accumulated production , not yet consumed , allowing the transfer of land , labor , and working time into the future—thus easing the productive process in the future .
Transferring labor , land and working time into the future—i.e.
, the process of capital accumulation and establishment—is tantamount to a lengthening of the productive structure occurring in the future .
As a matter of fact , it means that a task which , without accumulated capital , would require a relatively longer time to be carried out ( or would be completely @ @ @ @ @ @ @ becomes doable in a shorter lapse .
As Mises explains , The difference between production without the aid of capital goods and that assisted by the employment of capital goods consists in time….In buying a machine [ i.e.
, capital ] he [ the producer ] buys the original factors of production…plus time , i.e.
, the time by which his period of production is shortened .
( Mises [ 1949 ] 1998 , p. 490 ) Hence , capital is intrinsically different from land and labor—it stems from agents ’ decisions about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , capital originates when agents decide to forego consumption—i.e.
, satisfaction of immediate wants—in favor of saving .
When agents choose to save , they act according to their readiness to wait a longer time for the enjoyment of consumption .
The very act of saving is what allows capital to come into existence .
In Mises ’ s own words , The sine qua non of any lengthening [ i.e.
, capital accumulation ] of the processes of production adopted is saving , i.e.
, an excess of current production over current @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 1998 , p. 487 ) Concretely what does this mean ?
How is capital brought into existence by saving ?

In other words , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ current producers are standing on .

Among the essential concepts Mises analyzes and dwells upon in Human Action (1949), there is the notion of capital.
Mises conceives of capital as a factor of production intrinsically different from land and labor. In fact, capital is not nature given—its total amount increases or decreases depending upon human choices and intertemporal preferences—and its accumulation is the only way conducive to technological progress, higher productivity of labor, and better living standards. Lastly, capital is conceived in Human Action as strictly related to the time element—i.e., working time stored and transferred into the future in order to attain a greater or more sophisticated output.
Means and Length of Production
Human action entails production in order to remove uneasiness and improve acting humans’ well-being. In order to produce, acting agents can—and need to—employ factors of production: land, labor, and capital. Among them, however, only land and labor are naturally given (i.e., original) factors of production; capital, instead, needs to be created by human beings themselves—it cannot come into existence otherwise—and can be considered as a produced factor of production. As Mises writes, classical economists
erred in classifying “capital” as an independent factor of production along with the nature-given material resources and labor. The capital goods—the factors of further production produced in the past—are not an independent factor….They are rather labor, nature, and time stored up. (Mises [1949] 1998, p. 490)
Capital is a label encompassing any means of production different from natural resources (i.e., land) and labor; hence, it includes both machines (fixed capital) and intermediate products (circulating capital). More generally, capital is accumulated production, not yet consumed, allowing the transfer of land, labor, and working time into the future—thus easing the productive process in the future.
Transferring labor, land and working time into the future—i.e., the process of capital accumulation and establishment—is tantamount to a lengthening of the productive structure occurring in the future. As a matter of fact, it means that a task which, without accumulated capital, would require a relatively longer time to be carried out (or would be completely unfeasible), thanks to accumulated capital becomes doable in a shorter lapse. As Mises explains,
The difference between production without the aid of capital goods and that assisted by the employment of capital goods consists in time….In buying a machine [i.e., capital] he [the producer] buys the original factors of production…plus time, i.e., the time by which his period of production is shortened. (Mises [1949] 1998, p. 490)
Hence, capital is intrinsically different from land and labor—it stems from agents’ decisions about saving and consumption. In other words, capital originates when agents decide to forego consumption—i.e., satisfaction of immediate wants—in favor of saving. When agents choose to save, they act according to their readiness to wait a longer time for the enjoyment of consumption.
Saving and Productivity
The very act of saving is what allows capital to come into existence. In Mises’s own words,
The sine qua non of any lengthening [i.e., capital accumulation] of the processes of production adopted is saving, i.e., an excess of current production over current consumption. (Mises [1949] 1998, p. 487)
Concretely what does this mean? How is capital brought into existence by saving? An example might clarify some perplexities.
Consider a hypothetical tribe of men deciding to settle on a certain territory: being former wandering hunter-gatherers, the only factors of production available to them are their own labor and the natural resources surrounding them (i.e., land).
(Let’s assume, for the sake of argument, that these hunter-gatherers have not manufactured any hunting tools yet, carrying out their hunts only by means of rocks, sticks, etc., i.e., nature-given and nonmanufactured resources and commodities—ascribable to land).
In other words, these hunter-gatherers have consuming their whole daily production their whole lives, without saving any fraction of it—and hence without improving their daily productivity or becoming able to attain qualitatively more sophisticated prey (i.e., output).
However, let’s assume that one day one member of the tribe figures out how to manufacture spears by assembling sticks, animal tendons, and sharpened rocks. Spears would be a sort of capital tool, making it possible for tribesmen both to kill more animals per day (thus increasing the tribe’s daily productivity) and to hunt bigger animals, whose size would otherwise make them inaccessible (thus putting the tribe in the position to attain a qualitatively superior output that would be otherwise unattainable).
But spears do not come free. They are not bestowed upon tribesmen by nature like natural resources (i.e., land) and labor are. In order to manufacture spears, our tribesmen will need—besides the knowledge about how to manufacture a spear—first, the necessary time to blend labor with natural sources; second, saving that sustains them while they are busy manufacturing spears and unable to devote their time to the usual hunting. As Mises writes,
People eager to embark upon processes with a longer period of production must first accumulate, by means of saving, that quantity of consumers’ goods which is needed to satisfy, during the waiting time, all those wants the satisfaction of which they consider more urgent than the increment in well-being expected from the more time-consuming process. (Mises [1949] 1998, p. 488, bold added)
Once this process is completed and the spears are manufactured, the tribesmen find out that they are now closer to the attainment of more time-consuming goals—such as more units of game per day and/or a kind of game otherwise unattainable, say, because of its size—than they were before. In Mises’s own words,
Capital goods are intermediary stations on the way leading from the very beginning of production to its final goal, the turning out of consumers’ goods. He who produces with the aid of capital goods enjoys one great advantage over the man who starts without capital goods; he is nearer in time to the ultimate goal of his endeavors. (Mises [1949] 1998, p. 490, bold added)
Thanks to accumulated capital, the tribe can now collect the same prey within a shorter timespan—i.e., it is now more productive. Tasks which would have previously required more working hours and/or the cooperation of other tribesmen are now more manageable. As Mises explains,
A lengthening of the period of production [i.e., capital accumulation] can increase the quantity of output per unit of input or produce goods which cannot be produced at all within a shorter period of production. (Mises [1949] 1998, p. 526, bold added)
Thus, thanks to the capital brought into existence, our tribesmen realize two things. First, their daily labor is now more productive; second, they can now attain a quality of output which was previously unattainable given the land and labor at their disposal.
Conclusion
Here is the gist of the Misesian ontology of capital: capital stems from saved production—that is, previous time-consuming assemblages of land and labor which have not been consumed yet—and is a means for storing production time and transferring it into the future. The transfer of time of production into the future is a lengthening of the productive structure—i.e., it allows the production of items that could not have been produced otherwise and/or an increase in the amount of items produced per unit of labor. In other words, capital is the giant whose shoulders the current producers are standing on.

newswars--2020-07-10--Billionaire Hedge Fund Manager Slams Central Banking

In traditional crime noir fashion , Van Heflin says in the 1942 film , Johnny Eager : “ You knew when a woman loves you like that , she can love you with every card in the deck and then pull a knife across your throat the next morning.
” This is how the stock market behaves – at least in today ’ s arena .
One session , euphoria rushes over you , and your pockets are full of profits .
The next day , the dignified decorum has vanished , and there is blood on the streets .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ taketh away .
But the best of times and the worst of times on stock exchanges everywhere are being managed by the most powerful institutions in the world : the Federal Reserve and its partners in distortion , manipulation , and moral hazard .
One king of Wall Street is mad as hell and not going to take it anymore .
Ray Dalio , the billionaire hedge fund manager , has been burning the system to the ground in recent months , even before the Coronavirus dismantled the decade-long bull market .
From @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the head of Bridgewater Associates has been blunt in his assessments of everything wrong with financial markets .
His latest spot-on analysis targets capital markets and central banks .
Speaking at the Bloomberg Global Asset Owners Forum , Dalio averred that the central banks ’ interventions had forced capital markets to no longer be free since they stopped “ allocating resources in traditional ways.
” Dalio warned that the Federal Reserve and its counterparts would continue to pump money into the system and expand their balance sheets .
The only other choice @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sinking ship.
” But this is where he ventures off course .
He proposed reforming capitalism so that it benefits everyone , suggesting that the free-market capitalist model has only helped the few at the top .
How can you want to change a system when it no longer exists ?
Capitalism and central banks go together like oil and water , pineapple and pizza , and deodorant and Antifa basement-dwellers .
Central banking is the antithesis of capitalism , especially today ’ s aggressive neo-Keynesian institution that has expanded its mandate from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the economy and bailing out Wall Street .
Even with the best of intentions , the central banks ’ interventions manipulated markets , spawned a moral hazard , and blew bubbles that will ignite mass devastation when they pop ( see : dot-com and housing bubbles ) .
The bull market since the end of the Great Recession produced overvaluation that had been ubiquitous throughout the equities market .
When the coronacrisis slaughtered the New York Stock Exchange , it trimmed about 30 % of share prices .
Did the public health crisis @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2009 ?
Hardly .
The liquidity crunch only eliminated most of the appreciation of the last two to three years , proving the immense and unjustified asset inflation of the last decade and change .
Capitalism is meant to extend you the freedom to try , the freedom to succeed , and the freedom to fail .
The Fed gives the nod to the first two , but its policies over the decades have insured against the final freedom as its efforts essentially privatize profits and socialize losses .
This is not capitalism @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all over the world have gotten rid of the “ free ” aspect of capital markets .
By flooding the economy with an astronomical amount of liquidity , and the promise of even more injections has endangered the foundation of financial markets .
The investment community has carte blanche to make unwise decisions since they are shielded from risk by the Fed .
The Eccles Building has said that it is ready and willing to purchase everything without a limit during the pandemic and in the recovery phase .
What kind of message @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Wall Street ?
The Fed can conduct all the stress tests , deliver semi-annual testimony to Congress , and try to be woke as much as it wants .
Its actions do not take away from the fact that capitalism has endured a severe beating at the hands of the central planners .
Indeed , the U.S. and many economies across the globe are primarily capitalistic .
But it is a system that is under constant fire and has been bastardized by the prominent government acolytes who wish to manipulate the outcomes of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ capitalism has withstood the onslaught of punishment , like the young upstart pugilist who has something to prove to his naysayers .
Any time even a modicum of capitalism is instituted , prosperity is achieved .
If Venezuela were to , for example , ease up on price controls , you could solve part of the food crisis .
If Zimbabwe respected private property and the human capital of many segments of society , it could once again become the breadbasket of Africa .
If the U.S. refrained from repeatedly bailing out the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be forced to subsidize – directly and indirectly – their reckless behavior .
There is nothing inherently wrong with capitalism .
Like baseball and Rita Hayworth , it is the most exceptional system ever devised by God or man .

In traditional crime noir fashion, Van Heflin says in the 1942 film, Johnny Eager: “You knew when a woman loves you like that, she can love you with every card in the deck and then pull a knife across your throat the next morning.” This is how the stock market behaves – at least in today’s arena. One session, euphoria rushes over you, and your pockets are full of profits.
The next day, the dignified decorum has vanished, and there is blood on the streets. The lord of stocks can giveth and taketh away. But the best of times and the worst of times on stock exchanges everywhere are being managed by the most powerful institutions in the world: the Federal Reserve and its partners in distortion, manipulation, and moral hazard.
Mad As Hell
One king of Wall Street is mad as hell and not going to take it anymore.
Ray Dalio, the billionaire hedge fund manager, has been burning the system to the ground in recent months, even before the Coronavirus dismantled the decade-long bull market. From newspaper op-eds to rants on business networks, the head of Bridgewater Associates has been blunt in his assessments of everything wrong with financial markets.
His latest spot-on analysis targets capital markets and central banks. Speaking at the Bloomberg Global Asset Owners Forum, Dalio averred that the central banks’ interventions had forced capital markets to no longer be free since they stopped “allocating resources in traditional ways.”
Dalio warned that the Federal Reserve and its counterparts would continue to pump money into the system and expand their balance sheets. The only other choice, he says, “is the sinking ship.”
But this is where he ventures off course. He proposed reforming capitalism so that it benefits everyone, suggesting that the free-market capitalist model has only helped the few at the top. How can you want to change a system when it no longer exists?
Central Banks And Capitalism
Capitalism and central banks go together like oil and water, pineapple and pizza, and deodorant and Antifa basement-dwellers. Central banking is the antithesis of capitalism, especially today’s aggressive neo-Keynesian institution that has expanded its mandate from full employment and managing inflation to distorting the economy and bailing out Wall Street. Even with the best of intentions, the central banks’ interventions manipulated markets, spawned a moral hazard, and blew bubbles that will ignite mass devastation when they pop (see: dot-com and housing bubbles).
The bull market since the end of the Great Recession produced overvaluation that had been ubiquitous throughout the equities market. When the coronacrisis slaughtered the New York Stock Exchange, it trimmed about 30% of share prices. Did the public health crisis wipe out all the impressive gains since 2009? Hardly. The liquidity crunch only eliminated most of the appreciation of the last two to three years, proving the immense and unjustified asset inflation of the last decade and change.
Capitalism is meant to extend you the freedom to try, the freedom to succeed, and the freedom to fail. The Fed gives the nod to the first two, but its policies over the decades have insured against the final freedom as its efforts essentially privatize profits and socialize losses. This is not capitalism.
As Dalio notes, central banks all over the world have gotten rid of the “free” aspect of capital markets. By flooding the economy with an astronomical amount of liquidity, and the promise of even more injections has endangered the foundation of financial markets. The investment community has carte blanche to make unwise decisions since they are shielded from risk by the Fed. The Eccles Building has said that it is ready and willing to purchase everything without a limit during the pandemic and in the recovery phase. What kind of message does that send to the pillars of Wall Street?
The Fed can conduct all the stress tests, deliver semi-annual testimony to Congress, and try to be woke as much as it wants. Its actions do not take away from the fact that capitalism has endured a severe beating at the hands of the central planners. Indeed, the U.S. and many economies across the globe are primarily capitalistic. But it is a system that is under constant fire and has been bastardized by the prominent government acolytes who wish to manipulate the outcomes of a free-market infrastructure.
So far, capitalism has withstood the onslaught of punishment, like the young upstart pugilist who has something to prove to his naysayers.
The Reality Of Capitalism
Any time even a modicum of capitalism is instituted, prosperity is achieved. If Venezuela were to, for example, ease up on price controls, you could solve part of the food crisis. If Zimbabwe respected private property and the human capital of many segments of society, it could once again become the breadbasket of Africa. If the U.S. refrained from repeatedly bailing out the titans of finance, taxpayers would not be forced to subsidize – directly and indirectly – their reckless behavior. There is nothing inherently wrong with capitalism. Like baseball and Rita Hayworth, it is the most exceptional system ever devised by God or man. It is the central planners’ interventionist fetishes that produce these aberrations and then pin the blame on private markets. To sound like a Raymond Chandler or Dashiell Hammett novel, the Abercrombie central bankers are all wet in the notion that printing sourdough Lincolns and sawbucks is the panacea to eternal prosperity. It is time the Ben Bernankes, the Janet Yellens, and the Jerome Powells of the world take a powder and have one final kiss-off.

A black man was filmed chanting, “USA!” while jogging as he carried a US flag and promoted unity this past fourth of July.
In a video uploaded to social media, the man decked out in an American flag t-shirt and head band is heard chanting “USA!” as he approaches a woman who asks him what he’s doing.
“It’s America’s 244th birthday,” the man says.
“Listening to Dr. King this morning inspired me to get out here and run,” he says.
“And keep running,” he says, “until no one will shout, ‘White power!’ Until no one will shout, ‘Black power!’”
He continues: “Until we all will shout, ‘American power! Human power! God’s power!’”

newswars--2020-07-10--Study Finds Fatty Acid That Kills Cancer Cells

Researchers have demonstrated that a fatty acid called dihomogamma-linolenic acid , or DGLA , can kill human cancer cells .
The study , published in Developmental Cell on July 10 , found that DGLA can induce ferroptosis in an animal model and in actual human cancer cells .
Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent type of cell death that was discovered in recent years and has become a focal point for disease research as it is closely related to many disease processes .
Jennifer Watts , a Washington State University associate professor and corresponding author on the paper , said this discovery @ @ @ @ @ @ @ toward a potential treatment for cancer .
“ If you could deliver DGLA precisely to a cancer cell , it could promote ferroptosis and lead to tumor cell death , ” Watts said .
“ Also , just knowing that this fat promotes ferroptosis might also affect how we think about conditions such as kidney disease and neurodegeneration where we want to prevent this type of cell death.
” DGLA is a polyunsaturated fatty acid found in small amounts in the human body , though rarely in the human diet .
Compared to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ found in fish oil , DGLA is relatively understudied .
Watts has been researching dietary fats including DGLA for nearly twenty years , using the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans as an animal model .
A microscopic worm , C. elegans is often used in molecular research because it is transparent and allows scientists to easily study cell-level activity in a whole animal over its relatively short lifespan .
Results found in the C. elegans cells are also often transferable to human cells .
Watts ’ research team discovered that feeding nematodes a diet of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the worms as well as the stem cells that make the germ cells .
The way the cells died carried many signs of ferroptosis .
“ Many of the mechanisms we saw in the nematodes were consistent with the hallmarks of ferroptosis in mammalian systems , including the presence of redox-active iron and the inability to repair oxidized lipids , which are like molecular executioners , ” said Marcos Perez , a WSU doctoral student and first author on the paper .
To see if the results would translate to human cells @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Dixon of Stanford University , who has been studying ferroptosis and its potential for battling cancer for many years .
