E-4B Fleet to Receive Communication Modifications
https://www.edwards.af.mil/News/Article/2526093/e-4b-fleet-to-receive-communication-modifications/
Think this is the second one to complete the above process
Private Advisors Group-amassed a huge position in SLV (Blackrock Ag ETF) last year and then sold it off.....they are back nao...KEK!
When the Ag squeeze habbened last year (and I pointed this out out then and have many times before and since) it was NOT because of the redditors having the ability to influence the pricing mechanism-what they did do was spread moar information about the manipulation that has been going on so that is a GOOD thing. Be under no illusion that anyone in retail (and even hedge funds) has/have the ability to make these assholes controlling it "give it up"-not gonna habben until the COMEX is actually in a declared default. All they need to do it what habbened on February 24th and voila!!! Price gets nuked lower.
That only habbens when the CME group declares Force Majuere-they should have years ago because they have to continually play the games outlined in the above links to keep actual price discovery from habbening.
Enter in what really casued the price in Ag to rise to the $30 level last year-Private Advisor Group-PAG. It was the largest position they had until they started selling it off after the close of the second quarter-see cap#2
Cap #3 is 2021 yearly chart that shows that spike up to $30-that was quickly taken down-so what habbened then was word got out they they, PAG, were buying up SLV YUGELY and since once you have amassed 50k shares in SLV youcan actually stand for delivery-but the catch here is that SLV is managed by Blackrock so you not only have the COMEX to go through here but also that bastion of fianncial fuckery Blackrock in between you and the standing for delivery process. SOI do not think they ever had any intention to actually stand for delivery then.
Key Point-What it did do was trigger the Bank of America/JP Morgan leasing 'arrangements' that BofA find themselves in and cannot get out of cause no one will sell them the physical they need to deliver on those agreements. I postulated earlier today that they are now in the COMEX paper arena buying contracts and then settling them for cash-Gotta be Bank of America buying contracts so they can get paid off for cash to use to satisfy its TOTALLY FUCKED position with physical Ag leased from JP Morgan from and I have no idea, nor does anyone else, of a "get-out" clause in the contract between them but this data suggests that a cash payment back to JP Morgan is an option. >>128805 pb
According to 2021 Q4 13f filing they began to repurchase SLV increasing it's position 1014%.-see cap #2 again
So a trap was set last year to see what would be done to counter these large purchases in SLV (and Bank of America and JP Morgan bit off HARD) and Private Advisors Group then began to sell it off since SLV (Blackrock) says the process habbens like cap#3 here >>128098 lb so they played nice and then began decreasing position to almost nothing all the way through Q3 last year. Now they do have to move some physical in/out so I am not saying that scenario as they explain it in cap#3 of 12098 does not occur-it just doesn't come close to what they say.

Fitch, Moody's slash Russia's sovereign rating to junk
Japan to freeze assets of 4 more Russian banks.
Fitch and Moody's have downgraded Russia's sovereign credit rating by six notches to "junk" status, saying Western sanctions have thrown into doubt Russia's ability to service its debt. Russia's financial markets have been thrown into turmoil by sanctions imposed over the country's invasion of Ukraine. S&P lowered Russia's rating to junk status last week. The invasion also prompted index providers FTSE Russell and MSCI to announce they will remove Russian equities from all their indexes. The statement came after a top MSCI executive called Russia's stock market "uninvestable."
Japan will freeze assets of four additional Russian banks, Finance Minister Shunichi Suzuki says, bringing the total number to seven. The government did not disclose the name of the four banks.

Once the initial wash out occurs I would be taking positions in that because when they "hate" it...you need to love it.
They don't have a lot (compared to the west and Asia) of external debt and this would be a long term play but would pay off handsomely.
Wouldn't back up the truck but all this does is create a great opportunity once you get passed the rhetoric
Still crickets on China and Evergrande.....
the rest of this storys obvious biased BS about "invasion" has been edited out
Nikkei is owned by the Financial Times
chek't diggies
Has always been about not allowing declaration
They will never do that until the end.
Even then I have muh doubts they allow it.
Wut I meant is that the players who forced BofA and JPM to do that are back and this time there is really no answer other than BofA to get into COMEX contracts to be paid off intentionally so it generates cash to "pay off" the leases.
Moar cash payoffs for COMEX contracts
Here is what was done with the EFP 'process' yesterday.
*An exchange for physical trade (EFP) is a privately negotiated and simultaneous exchange of a futures position for a cash position.
2,100 paper contracts settled for cash gives you 10,500,000/ozs of paper silver (taking a price of $25.20 (about the price at settlement time yesterday) gives you $264,600,000 in cash to the "holder" which has got to be Bank of America
https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/metals/precious/silver.volume.options.html#optionProductId=458
Remember that BofA is a "too big to fail" bank and as a reminder they had Countrywide placed on it's books- so as not to have a public bankruptcy.
from January 2008
Bank of America to acquire Countrywide
https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna22606833
This was a full 9 months before the strat of the very public market event in 2008-it actually started-in the public arena-in 2007 with the JP Morgan/Bear Stearns placement.
Also keep in mind Angelo Mozillo-cap #3 generated billions of dollars for the system and was still not part of the "club"
Then we had Chumpy Schumer intentionally causing IndyMacs bank run so it could placed at the FRB in the same way Countrywide was at BofA in order to NOT have a public Bankruptcy-moar on that when they start doing it here again-cause they will

Secretary of State Antony Blinken to Travel to Europe
Secretary of State Antony Blinken leaves Thursday for a trip to Belgium, Poland, Moldova and the Baltic states to coordinate the continued international response to Russia’s attack on Ukraine, and to assure neighboring countries of the U.S. commitment to their security, the State Department said Wednesday.
The secretary’s six-day trip comes amid Russia’s expanding war in Ukraine. The U.S. and other members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization have pledged to support the government in Kyiv, which has managed so far to hold off Russian forces from taking any of the major cities, but have said they won't intervene militarily. In Brussels, Mr. Blinken will meet with his counterparts from NATO member states and convene separately with representatives of the European Union and the Group of Seven industrialized nations. The secretary said he would “commend them on the unprecedented steps that they’ve taken to support Ukraine and hold Russia to account.” He reiterated President Biden’s message about the U.S. commitment to Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty, which holds that an attack on any ally constitutes an attack on all. Ukraine isn't a NATO member, but officials are wary of a possible expansion of Russia’s incursion to the alliance’s eastern flank.
On March 5, the secretary is scheduled to visit Poland, where he will meet with Foreign Minister Zbigniew Rau, among other officials, to discuss additional security and humanitarian assistance for Ukraine. Poland has been a key staging point for international assistance, including arms, and an entry point for refugees fleeing the Russian invasion. In Chisinau, Moldova, Mr. Blinken will meet with senior politicians to discuss Moldova’s assistance to Ukrainian refugees and U.S. support for Moldova’s security and territorial integrity.
The State Department has warned Americans currently in Moldova to depart the country, citing the conflict in Ukraine and ongoing hostilities between the government and the breakaway Transnistria region. Airlines have canceled flights to and from Moldova, and the government has imposed airspace restrictions due to the conflict in Ukraine.
The final leg of the trip will be to the Baltic statesLithuania, Latvia and EstoniaNATO members that share a border with Russia.
Mr. Blinken, who spent part of Wednesday morning visiting a Ukrainian church in northeast Washington, D.C., with the country’s ambassador to the U.S., Oksana Markarova, reiterated Washington’s support for Ukraine and commitment to penalize Russia for its invasion.
The secretary declined to speculate on Vladimir Putin’s state of mind, but criticized the Russian president’s comments about placing the country’s nuclear forces on heightened alert.

White House’s $10 billion Ukraine-aid request would help fund ‘KleptoCapture’ task force targeting Russian oligarchs
The Biden administration is asking Congress for $10 billion to aid Ukraine amid the invasion by Russia, a request that includes $59 million for a new task force aimed at enforcing sanctions against Russian oligarchs.
The $10 billion aid request is part of a broader $32.5 billion package that the White House hopes Congress will approve. It also includes $22.5 billion to bolster the U.S. fight against COVID-19. “This request identifies an immediate need for $10 billion in additional humanitarian, security, and economic assistance for Ukraine and Central European partners due to Russia’s unjustified and unprovoked invasion,” acting White House budget director Shalanda Young wrote to lawmakers. n Congress is currently wrangling over a long-term budget deal, and lawmakers are facing a March 11 deadline for agreement. The new request may be attached to that larger package.
Biden discussed the new task force in his State of the Union address on Tuesday, saying: “Tonight, I say to the Russian oligarchs and the corrupt leaders who’ve bilked billions of dollars off this violent regime: No more.”
Dubbed Task Force KleptoCapture, the new entity is “dedicated to enforcing the sweeping sanctions, export restrictions, and economic countermeasures that the United States has imposed, along with allies and partners, in response to Russia’s unprovoked military invasion of Ukraine,” said Attorney General Merrick Garland in a statement on Wednesday.

“Task Force KleptoCapture will ensure the full effect of these actions, which have been designed to isolate Russia from global markets and impose serious costs for this unjustified act of war, by targeting the crimes of Russian officials, government-aligned elites, and those who aid or conceal their unlawful conduct,” said Garland.
The $10 billion request is above an earlier-discussed figure of $6.4 billion that congressional Democrats and Republicans showed signs of supporting.
In her letter, Young said that she anticipated that “additional needs may arise over time” given the evolving situation in Ukraine. Likewise, she said she expects extra funding will be needed to support the COVID response.

Turkey Reports 54% Inflation One Month After Erdogan Fired His Statistics Chief
One month after Turkey's president Erdogan fired his statistics chief for reporting that inflation hit 36%, his current replacement must be dreading every incoming phone call after earlier today Turkey reported that annual inflation again soared more than expected, hitting a two-decade high of 54.4% in February, above the 52.5% consensus, fuelled by a crash in the lira last year and soaring commodity prices that are expected to climb even higher in coming months due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Month-on-month, consumer prices rose 4.8% in February, the Turkish Statistical Institute said on Thursday, compared to the median consensus forecast of 3.8%. Core inflation increased from 39.5%yoy in January to 44.1%yoy in February, also above consensus expectation of 42.2%yoy.
The rise in inflation was broad-based with all categories registering increases, though the rises in food and transport categories made the largest contributions. There was some moderation in sequential inflation compared with December and January, as the sharp Lira sell-off in 2021Q4 led to a more front-loaded and faster pass-through to prices in these two months. Nevertheless, the underlying pricing pressures remain elevated. Last month's inflation was driven by food and non-alcoholic drink prices, which rose 8.41% month-on-month, while furniture prices rose 7.00%, further eroding household savings (we somehow doubt that alcoholic drinks fell in price). Annually, transportation prices surged 76%, while furniture prices rose 65%.
Inflation has soared in Turkey as the central bank, under pressure from Erdogan, has cut interest rates by 500 basis points last year. It is expected to rise further, exacerbated by a surge in gas, oil and grains prices set off by the Ukraine conflict. The bizarro easing cycle prompted by "Erdoganomics" led to a currency crisis that saw the lira crash 44% against the dollar last year, raising inflation via imports priced in hard currencies. Meanwhile, economists say rate hikes are off the cards, despite deeply negative real yields, given Erdogan's aversion of high rates. They expect authorities to respond through interventions in the forex market to keep the lira stable, and fiscal measures.
Inflation will stay close to February levels until the last months of the year, said Jason Tuvey, senior EM economist at Capital Economics, Reuters reported. "The spillover effects from the Russia-Ukraine crisis, including higher global commodity prices and potentially fresh supply chain disruptions, mean that the risks are skewed to the upside," he said in a note.
After hiking prices across the board at the start of the year, the government has implemented tax cuts on basic goods and - like its European peers - is subsidizing a significant amount of electricity bills, in an effort to soften the impact on households. The central bank said in January it expects inflation to peak around May, when it is seen rising to around 55%, but it can now throw that particular forecast in the trash as Russia's invasion has assured even higher inflation for a long time to come.
