AEU ’ s hashtag is # REDforED , and encourages its members to wear red in protest events .
Red is the color of communists and communist parties .

Arizona Educators United (AEU) is a political activist group for school teachers.
On its Facebook page, this is how AEU describes itself:
…a coalition of teachers, education support professionals, administrators, and those who care about the state of education in Arizona…. This is a group for organizing Arizona educators for action.
Founded on March 4, 2018, AEU claims to have more than 45,100 members, but is a “private group” on Facebook — “Only members can see who’s in the group and what they post” — which makes one wonder why it is so secretive.

WASHINGTON — Congress wrote to the nation’s top universities on Monday demanding they hand over all records of donations they have accepted from foreign governments and rogue regimes, citing concerns that the multimillion-dollar gifts are a growing national security threat, The Post can reveal.
The letters obtained by The Post were sent to the presidents of six of the country’s leading colleges — including Harvard, NYU and Yale — after a Department of Education investigation this year found American universities had accepted $6.4 billion of hidden foreign donations.

America’s political elite who deem themselves royalty, and live accordingly, are the same politicians who have been keeping their citizens in states under total lockdown for the purpose of destroying the economy, they mandate the wearing of face masks which they themselves do not wear, they prohibit travel to second homes and family cabins while traveling themselves, are keeping schools locked down, attend funerals while our dead cannot be mourned in a service, and they are thwarting the use of hydroxychloroquine – a known prophylaxis (prevention) to coronavirus, and a successful cure… all to try to force President Donald Trump out of office one way or another.

As the Los Angeles Times reported in 2018:
“Gavin Newsom wasn’t born rich, but he was born connected — and those alliances have paid handsome dividends throughout his career.

Monday was the first chance the liberal broadcast networks had at giving their viewers a fuller understanding of the day George Floyd was killed by a Minneapolis police officer as two body camera videos were leaked to the U.K.’s Daily Mail. The videos show officers struggling to get Floyd into the cop car with an officer telling him to “stop resisting” at one point. ABC’s World News Tonight skipped the videos entirely, while CBS and NBC aired highly-edited soundbites and omitted the order.
In the video Daily Mail posted on YouTube, Officer Thomas Lane had Floyd out of his vehicle and was trying to get him into handcuffs. At the 2:13-mark, Lane can be heard telling Floyd to “stop resisting,” to which Floyd said: “I’m not.” “Yes, you are,” Lane replied.
That exchange was edited out by both the CBS Evening News and NBC Nightly News. Instead, they chose to mislead. The included video below shows how both networks used the leaked video for selectively edited soundbites.
The media have seen these videos before when officials allowed the media to watch them, but not broadcast them. But CBS anchor Norah O’Donnell hid that fact from viewers. Telling them, “Tonight, we’re getting the first look at body cam video from two of the Minneapolis police officers who were on the scene the night George Floyd died in custody.”

The problem is the job itself. It forces skilled journalists to make bad decisions on a daily basis.
You may not watch MSNBC but just know that this problem still affects you, too. All the commercial networks function the same – and no doubt that content seeps into your social media feed, one way or the other,” she added.
Pekary decried a culture in network news obsessed with ratings at the expense of quality, balanced news.
“The longer I was at MSNBC, the more I saw such choices — it’s practically baked in to the editorial process – and those decisions affect news content every day,” she wrote. “Likewise, it’s taboo to discuss how the ratings scheme distorts content, or it’s simply taken for granted, because everyone in the commercial broadcast news industry is doing the exact same thing.”

NEW YORK — As autumn nears and the coronavirus outbreak wears on, the next school year is becoming more uncertain for many parents. A new survey finds four in five parents are thinking about homeschooling their school-age children this fall. Of those parents, nearly half say they’re seriously considering keeping their kids home in 2020 and 2021.
The poll, commissioned by Crispy Green and conducted by OnePoll, spoke with 2,000 parents to see how families are adjusting to the “new normal” created by COVID-19.

Last month, the European Union set out a comprehensive hydrogen strategy as part of its goal to achieve carbon neutrality for all its industries by 2050. The EU has an ambitious target to build out at least 40 gigawatts of electrolyzers within its borders by 2030 and also support the development of another 40 gigawatts of green hydrogen in nearby countries that can export to the region by the same date. The announcement came as little surprise, given that Europe is regarded as being far ahead of the United States in the shift to renewable energy.
But the hydrogen bug has finally arrived stateside: The U.S. Department of Energy has unveiled the H2@Scale initiative whereby a handful of companies including Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI), Caterpillar Inc.(NYSE: CAT), 3M Company (NYSE: MMM), Plug Power Inc. (NASDAQ: PLUG) and EV startup Nikola Corp. (NASDAQ: NKLA) will receive $64 million in government funding for hydrogen research projects.
Hot on the heels of the DoE initiative: American electric utility and renewable energy giant, NextEra Energy Inc.(NYSE: NEE), has unveiled an equally ambitious plan to start replacing its natural gas-powered plants with hydrogen.
During its latest earnings call, NextEra’s CFO Rebecca Kujawa said the company is “…particularly excited about the long-term potential of hydrogen” and discussed plans to start a pilot hydrogen project at one of its generating stations at Okeechobee Clean Energy Center owned by its subsidiary, Florida Power & Light (FPL). NextEra reported Q2 revenue of $4.2B (-15.5% Y/Y), which fell short of Wall Street’s consensus by $1.12B while GAAP EPS of $2.59 (+1.1% Y/Y) beat estimates by $0.09. The company attributed the big revenue slump to the effects of Covid-19.
Renewable energy and hydrogen stocks have lately become hot property: NEE is up 16% in the year-to-date; PLUG +144%, Bloom Energy Corp. (NYSE: BE) +62.8% while Ballard Power Systems (NASDAQ: BLDP) has gained 98.2% over the timeframe.

To put that backlog into context, NextEra revealed that it is larger than the operating wind and solar portfolios of all but two companies in the world.
Hydrogen Bubble?
That said, not everybody is buying the hydrogen hype.
Barron’s Bill Apton says Wall Street has discovered hydrogen this year and that hydrogen stocks are a bubble. Apton says the huge runup by Plug Power, Ballard Energy, and Bloom Energy has left them trading at more than 50x future cash flow, making it hard for them to grow into their steep valuations. He notes that smaller hydrogen companies are up against big players and deep-pocketed manufacturers, including government-backed rivals in China and the likes of Cummins.
According to Apton, it could take a decade or more before environmentally-friendly hydrogen can become competitive with natural gas on a cost-basis, making hydrogen stocks better long-term picks than the cult stocks they have become.

investmentwatchblog--2020-08-04--POWERFUL PLUNGE? Trifecta Of Key Technical Signals Are BEARISH FOR GOLD & Miners!

Nothing lasts forever , and the brightest flame burns itself out the fastest .
That could very well apply to the current situation around PMs .
Speaking of indications pointing to the situation being excessive , let ’ s take a look at the USD Index .
Remember when in early 2018 we wrote that the USD Index was bottoming due to a very powerful combination of support levels ?
Practically nobody wanted to read that as everyone “ knew ” that the USD Index is going to fall below 80 .
We were notified that people were hating on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ our opinion – that the USD Index was bottoming , and gold was topping .
People were very unhappy with us writing that day after day , even though the USD Index refused to soar , and gold was not declining .
Well , it ’ s the same right now .
The USD Index is at a powerful combination of support levels .
One of them is the rising , long-term , black support line that ’ s based on the 2011 and 2014 bottoms .
The other major , long-term factor @ @ @ @ @ @ @ – that ’ s when gold topped in 2004 , 2005 , and where it – approximately – bottomed in 2015 , and 2016 .
The USDX just moved to these profound support levels , and it ’ s very oversold on a short-term basis .
It all happened in the middle of the year , which is when the USDX formed major bottoms on many occasions .
This makes a short-term rally here very likely .
We even saw a confirmation from USD ’ s short-term chart .
The U.S. currency finally @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in March , the short-term breakout in the USD Index was the thing that triggered the powerful rally in it , as well as a powerful plunge in the precious metals market .
Consequently , based on this analogy , the implications for the near term are bearish for the PMs .
Especially , when we consider the fact that Gold Miners Bullish Percent Index showed the highest possible overbought reading recently .
The excessive bullishness was present at the 2016 top as well and it didn ’ t cause the situation to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ All markets periodically get ahead of themselves regardless of how bullish the long-term outlook really is .
Then , they correct .
If the upswing was significant , the correction is also quite often significant .
Please note that back in 2016 , there was an additional quick upswing before the slide and this additional upswing has caused the Gold Miners Bullish Percent Index to move up once again for a few days .
It then declined once again .
We saw something similar also this time .
In this case , this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the 100 level , while in 2016 this wasn ’ t the case .
But still , the similarity remains present .
Back in 2016 , when we saw this phenomenon , it was already after the top , and right before the big decline .
Given the situation in the USD Index , it seems that we ’ re seeing the same thing also this time .
On Friday , gold moved higher once again , but senior mining stocks refused to move to new highs .
They didn ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s decline .
The volume that accompanied this daily upswing was relatively low .
This means that it ’ s likely that this is a counter-trend bounce , and not the bigger move higher .
Miners were the first to top , and the short-term breakout in the USD Index indicates that other PM markets are likely to follow .
Please note that the miners topped almost right at the vertex of the huge rising wedge pattern .
Quoting last week ’ s analysis : ( … ) huge rising wedge pattern is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tomorrow .
The same rule that applies to triangles has implications also here .
The vertex is quite likely to mark a reversal date .
Given the overbought status of the RSI ( given today ’ s upswing , it ’ s almost certain to move above 70 once again ) as well as miners recent unwillingness to track gold during its continuous rally , it ’ s highly likely in my view that this will be a top .
Combine the USDX situation with Gold Miners ’ Bullish Percent and vertex-based reversal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of lower prices in miners next .
The price targets for the precious metals market changed based on new information and gold ’ s breakout to new highs .
You will find details in today ’ s Gold & Silver Trading Alert .

People were very unhappy with us writing that day after day, even though the USD Index refused to soar, and gold was not declining.
Well, it’s the same right now.
The USD Index is at a powerful combination of support levels. One of them is the rising, long-term, black support line that’s based on the 2011 and 2014 bottoms.
The other major, long-term factor is the proximity to the 92 level – that’s when gold topped in 2004, 2005, and where it – approximately – bottomed in 2015, and 2016.
The USDX just moved to these profound support levels, and it’s very oversold on a short-term basis. It all happened in the middle of the year, which is when the USDX formed major bottoms on many occasions. This makes a short-term rally here very likely.
We even saw a confirmation from USD’s short-term chart.
The U.S. currency finally after a decisive short-term breakout. Back in March, the short-term breakout in the USD Index was the thing that triggered the powerful rally in it, as well as a powerful plunge in the precious metals market.
Consequently, based on this analogy, the implications for the near term are bearish for the PMs. Especially, when we consider the fact that Gold Miners Bullish Percent Index showed the highest possible overbought reading recently.

The excessive bullishness was present at the 2016 top as well and it didn’t cause the situation to be any less bearish in reality. All markets periodically get ahead of themselves regardless of how bullish the long-term outlook really is. Then, they correct. If the upswing was significant, the correction is also quite often significant.
Please note that back in 2016, there was an additional quick upswing before the slide and this additional upswing has caused the Gold Miners Bullish Percent Index to move up once again for a few days. It then declined once again. We saw something similar also this time. In this case, this move up took the index once again to the 100 level, while in 2016 this wasn’t the case. But still, the similarity remains present.
Back in 2016, when we saw this phenomenon, it was already after the top, and right before the big decline. Given the situation in the USD Index, it seems that we’re seeing the same thing also this time.
On Friday, gold moved higher once again, but senior mining stocks refused to move to new highs. They didn’t manage to even erase their Thursday’s decline. The volume that accompanied this daily upswing was relatively low. This means that it’s likely that this is a counter-trend bounce, and not the bigger move higher.
Miners were the first to top, and the short-term breakout in the USD Index indicates that other PM markets are likely to follow.
Please note that the miners topped almost right at the vertex of the huge rising wedge pattern. Quoting last week’s analysis:
(…) huge rising wedge pattern is about to form a vertex today or tomorrow. The same rule that applies to triangles has implications also here. The vertex is quite likely to mark a reversal date. Given the overbought status of the RSI (given today’s upswing, it’s almost certain to move above 70 once again) as well as miners recent unwillingness to track gold during its continuous rally, it’s highly likely in my view that this will be a top.
Combine the USDX situation with Gold Miners’ Bullish Percent and vertex-based reversal, and you get a high likelihood of lower prices in miners next.
The price targets for the precious metals market changed based on new information and gold’s breakout to new highs. You will find details in today’s Gold & Silver Trading Alert. We invite you to subscribe and read today’s issue right away.

It’s always to discredit that the people who are protesting against lockdowns and to discredit them in any way possible. We have entered a new age of propaganda. This is turning into a war to try to discourage people from protesting.
However, the decision to impose the lockdown again, according to reliable sources, is because to lift the COVID restrictions, people cannot pay debts and the financial crisis will hit. This is really crazy for they have to be lifted and then rents have to be paid and the entire nightmare of this exaggerated response will have to be faced. It is inevitable! Our sources are deeply concerned in Germany and believe these restrictions have unleashed massive damage which will not surface until the restrictions are lifted.

The Covid-19 narrative is false. Cases surged because they are doing 9 times as many tests as they did in April. The vast majority of positive cases have no symptoms or mild symptoms. The average age of death from Covid is older than the average age of all deaths. This is an ongoing political campaign to defeat Trump. Truth and facts don’t matter to these covidiots.

Thousands of Mail-In Ballots Once Deemed Invalid Now Ordered To Be Counted In NY
A multitude of ballots intended for the New York June 23 election were deemed invalid due to not having postmarks or arriving at offices after the election — a federal judge ordered Monday these thousands of rule-breaking ballots must be counted.
Manhattan Judge Analisa Torres deemed the plaintiffs in the suit had proven that the late votes submitted or un-postmarked ballots had been disenfranchised.
In NYC, a judge ruled ballots without postmarks count, even if they arrived 2 days after the election. This gives the post office huge power. The morning after a close election, ballot harvesting and no postmarks can change results. t.co/EONYKSwWKr — Ari Fleischer (@AriFleischer) August 4, 2020

investmentwatchblog--2020-08-05--Top Experts Warn That Market Collapse Is Imminent As Federal Spending Spirals Out Of Control

In this video , we ’ re going to discuss the failures in policy that have exacerbated this economic collapse , and the reasons why Fed spending won ’ t pull us out of a recession anytime soon .
We ’ ll tell you what experts predict for the future of US markets , and the dangerous tipping point that the global economy rests at , just moments from devastation .
Back in February , the United States Treasury predicted that the national debt would actually decline by $ 56 billion during the second quarter of this year .
But @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and June saw the most dramatic slump in GDP in US history as a result of the economic devastation wrought by months of lockdowns and business closures .
Instead of relieving some of its debt , the government actually borrowed nearly $ 3 trillion in that time .
But despite this staggering figure , the price and yield of US Treasury bonds hardly flinched , because the Federal Reserve had already headed off any volatility weeks prior , when they announced the monetization of all gross debt issuance through unlimited quantitative easing .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ for greater cash flow into the Treasury balance , which in turn funded the many stimulus programs that kept countless American businesses and individuals afloat despite the shuttered economy .
That ’ s precisely why the US Treasury ’ s cash balance skyrocketed from $ 400 billion at the start of April to an all time high of $ 1.7 trillion per the latest figures .
This money is merely waiting for Congressional approval before it will be distributed across the country in further rounds of stimulus .
But the Treasury far overestimated @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the department is stuck with a $ 1 trillion cushion that isn ’ t even necessary .
Original predictions had anticipated the cash balance to reach $ 800 billion , a figure the Treasury overshot by a staggering $ 922 billion .
You would think that all the extra flexibility would allow the Treasury to do something positive , like lower its needed debt for this quarter and the ones ahead .
But of course , that ’ s not how it played out .
Instead , the Treasury blew past their estimations @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the department would need to borrow only $ 667 billion in the fiscal quarter running from July through September .
How much did it really borrow ?
A whopping $ 947 billion , $ 270 billion more than those May predictions .
This comes even despite a cash balance that is nearly $ 1 trillion higher than it had anticipated in last quarter ’ s forecast .
Furthermore , the Treasury said they would take on a cash balance of $ 800 million by the end of next month .
With so many @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can be difficult to grasp just how much money the government is injecting into the dying economy .
So here is the big picture .
If you add up the data already on record from the first 3 fiscal quarters this year , then incorporate the estimated figures for Q4 , 2020 will see a staggering $ 4.5 trillion in borrowing , which shatters previous records .
If dollar debasement is part of the Fed ’ s plan to ride out this crisis , then there ’ s not much we can do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ its heavily indebted economy afloat and even wildly printing currency isn ’ t enough anymore .
While calls for a reboot of the US economic systems sound much more rational and deliberate , the reality is that we are spiraling into the devolution of the dollar , at a pace only intensified by the ongoing pandemic .
And if the dollar goes down , the world ’ s other major fiat currencies will go with it .
After all , central banks in G20 countries follow the same rules as the US .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ left open to powers like Russia and China to fill the gap .
With the world ’ s economic powers all falling behind , the globe will be left to tumble into a depression so severe it would take years and years to recover .
According to a June report from the International Monetary Fund ( IMF ) , the pandemic response in developed countries cost about 20 percent of their national GDP .
For emerging economies , that figure plummeted to 5 percent , and for the world ’ s worst off @ @ @ @ @ @ @ percent .
If emerging markets don ’ t have the funds to prop up their economies in the wake of the global slump , and developed countries are too busy elsewhere to supply aid , debt will soar .
Since approximately two thirds of global growth is generated in emerging economies , their collapse could set off a catastrophic chain reaction for the world markets .

We’ll tell you what experts predict for the future of US markets, and the dangerous tipping point that the global economy rests at, just moments from devastation.
Back in February, the United States Treasury predicted that the national debt would actually decline by $56 billion during the second quarter of this year.

Instead of relieving some of its debt, the government actually borrowed nearly $3 trillion in that time.
But despite this staggering figure, the price and yield of US Treasury bonds hardly flinched, because the Federal Reserve had already headed off any volatility weeks prior, when they announced the monetization of all gross debt issuance through unlimited quantitative easing.
A jump in debt issuance also allowed for greater cash flow into the Treasury balance, which in turn funded the many stimulus programs that kept countless American businesses and individuals afloat despite the shuttered economy. That’s precisely why the US Treasury’s cash balance skyrocketed from $400 billion at the start of April to an all time high of $1.7 trillion per the latest figures. This money is merely waiting for Congressional approval before it will be distributed across the country in further rounds of stimulus.

You would think that all the extra flexibility would allow the Treasury to do something positive, like lower its needed debt for this quarter and the ones ahead. But of course, that’s not how it played out.

How much did it really borrow? A whopping $947 billion, $270 billion more than those May predictions. This comes even despite a cash balance that is nearly $1 trillion higher than it had anticipated in last quarter’s forecast.
