In a week’s time, Trump threatens Iraq, Iran, and Mexico

The Trump administration has in the past week made various degrees of military threats against three more countries that pose no threat to U.S. citizens or their property.  A leaked phone call discussed sending troops to Mexico; a campaign promise to seize Iraq’s oil was reiterated; and Iran was put “on notice” and new sanctions were put in place after a missile test, emboldening the Iranian government’s divisive political strategy.

John Whitehead, The FBI: The Silent Terror of the Fourth Reich

“Lately, there’s been a lot of rhetoric comparing Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler.  The concern is that a Nazi-type regime may be rising in America.  That process, however, began a long time ago.  In fact, following the second World War, the U.S. government recruited Hitler’s employees, adopted his protocols, embraced his mindset about law and order, implemented his tactics in incremental steps, and began to lay the foundations for the rise of the Fourth Reich.”

Bitcoin Supporter Pepper Sprayed in the Face During Berkeley Protests

“Kiara Robles, an avid cryptocurrency enthusiast, was one of his people interviewed during the protests. As she was giving the interview, an unknown assailant pepper sprayed her in the face for no apparent reason. It appears this attacker mistook her for a Donald Trump supporter, simply due to the red baseball cap she was wearing. Not the kind of attention bitcoin enthusiasts are after, by any means.”

Russians Engineer a Brilliant Slot Machine Cheat, And Casinos Have No Fix

“The economic realities of the gaming industry seem to guarantee that the St. Petersburg organization will continue to flourish. The machines have no easy technical fix. At the same time, most casinos can’t afford to invest in the newest slot machines, whose PRNGs use encryption to protect mathematical secrets; as long as older, compromised machines are still popular with customers, the smart financial move for casinos is to keep using them and accept the occasional loss to scammers.  So the onus will be on casino security personnel to keep an eye peeled for the scam’s small tells. A finger that lingers too long above a spin button may be a guard’s only clue that hackers in St. Petersburg are about to make another score.”

Peter Schiff: The US debt bomb is going to explode

“He said low interest rates have allowed the U.S. to service its debt, but repaying it is almost off the table. Schiff said as interest rates rise and inflation grows, creditors are going to demand a higher premium.  Schiff’s comments come as the U.S. is just weeks away from passing the $20 trillion mark in total public debt outstanding.  On Thursday, Schiff also took a stab at infrastructure spending, which President Donald Trump has vowed to increase while in office. Schiff said that is not going to help the economy.”

Draghi Says A Country Can Leave Eurozone But Must “Settle Bill First”

“Suddenly the ECB has made it clear that Italy’s gain in a ‘hypothetical’ Euro zone exit would be a tremendous loss for Berlin and Merkel. We are confident that the question of ‘how much’ preventing such a loss would be worth to Merkel, will emerge in very short order. As for what Draghi’s statement means for countries with a far smaller Target2 liability which may also consider exiting the monetary union, the answer is two words: ‘green light.'”
