John Williams Warns "The Fed Is Killing Off The Economy"

 

Economist John Williams says the recent rate hikes mean the “Fed is killing off the economy.”

 

Williams says, “I heard President Trump make some comments to that effect, and he’s right…"

 

"The Fed is trying to raise rates. The idea is if you get higher rates, the banks will be able to make more profits on their lending. It will also encourage bank lending. Unfortunately, on the consumer end, it raises the consumers’ cost of borrowing as interest rates go up. It makes mortgages more expensive. It makes borrowing more expensive. Mortgages go up, people don’t buy as many houses.

 

What you are seeing right now is effectively a recession in the housing market, in the construction area. Existing home sales have been down for six or seven months in a row, and it’s down year over year.”

 

Williams says, “The Fed is trying to get the system back to normal.”

 

In doing so, the Fed could kill the system. Williams says,

 

“Well, that’s what they are doing. In many ways, it would have been easier if the banking system would have collapsed and had a banking holiday, and restructured it and reopened it back in 2007 and 2008. That would have been a very difficult time for the people who owned the banks, and again, the Fed owns the banking system.”

 

So, they are trying to fix the banks, and to do that, they will simply screw the consumer? Williams says,

 

“Well, they have an escape clause. Former Fed Head Janet Yellen said that if the economy falls back into recession, ‘we will just go back into quantitative easing’ (QE/money printing). I think that could easily happen here. When the economy goes down, it increases the liquidity stresses on the banking system. There is default on debt, and companies tend to go out of business. That will stress the bank earnings. QE was aimed at propping up the banks in tough times.

 

The Fed is very open to QE, and from the Fed’s standpoint, I think we are going to end up in a perpetual state of quantitative easing, unless they let the banking system reorganize and get a new functioning system. It’s still not functioning.”

 

John Williams has long said that this money printing orgy by the Fed will end in a hyperinflationary event. Williams says,

 

“Unfortunately, it is unavoidable. It is only a matter of when. It can only be avoided if the U.S. can get its long term financial house in order.”

We all know that is not going to happen. Williams says,

 

“As they keep going here, there is going to be hyperinflation. The dollar will weaken. Gold and silver will rally, and that will be part of a self-feeding cycle, which will get you into very high inflation…

 

If the Fed can’t get this banking crisis worked out, I would not be surprised to see a complete overhaul of the system.”

As US Rappers Flaunt “Money and Bling” Rap Superstar Akon is Bringing Solar Power to Africa

 

Instead of using his fame and fortune to brag about bling and degrade women, rap superstar Akon is literally lighting up Africa.

 

Rap superstar, and Senegal transplant, Akon is planning a solar investment program in Sierra Leone to bring thousands of solar powered lights and traffic lights to the people. Conversely, other rap stars in the United States, like Daniel Hernandez, aka Tekashi 6ix9ine—who likes to post photos of himself holding large amounts of cash while degrading women on Instagram—are facing jail time for child rape. Clearly Akon gets it while many other rappers do not.

 

In an interview shared by the Sierra Leone presidency, as Africa News reports, Akon said: “Actually (the president) motivated me a lot more, you know; he is a very smart guy (and) he definitely understands Sierra Leone and he understands the future where Africa needs to be.

 

“Meeting with a lot of the younger Africans who have been elected now is really motivating because my biggest challenge was getting presidents to understand the vision, and with him we speak the same language.

 

“We pretty much have the same thought process so I think he’s going to do very well for Sierra Leone,” he added.

 

Akon is no stranger to bringing electricity to others and his track record backs him up. As TFTP reported in 2016, realizing that access to electricity is one of the key components to increasing the quality of life, Akon decided to take action and put his money where his mouth is.

 

As the Guardian reported at the launch of their project, Akon and his two co-founders — Thione Niang, a Senegalese political activist, and Samba Bathily, a Malian entrepreneur and CEO of the solar energy company Solektra International — believe that what rural African communities need is not overseas charity but affordable renewable energy delivered by fully trained African professionals, managing for-profit projects that bring longevity, generate jobs and build new self-sustaining economies.

 

They were right.

High doses of vitamin C aggressively kill cancer cells, research confirms

 

If you’ve heard that high doses of vitamin C can kill cancer, there’s a good chance you’ve also heard some official-sounding organizations claiming that there is no science to back this up. However, new research shows that high doses of vitamin C can indeed fight cancer, underscoring the findings of countless other studies like it that are widely ignored by the medical industry.

 

Detractors choose to focus on those studies that showed it didn’t work, conveniently ignoring the fact that many of the studies that were inconclusive in this regard simply weren’t testing big enough doses to unlock its effectiveness.

 

Research carried out at the University of Iowa confirms that vitamin C does kill cancer cells selectively without damaging normal cells. One study showed that the vitamins can reduce mutations that cause cancer in mice, while another study showed it can kill as much as 50 percent of human lymphoma cells.

 

Another study, this one from the Perlmutter Cancer Center, found that injecting mice with high doses of vitamin C stopped leukemia cancer stem cells from humans from growing, probably by telling the faulty stem cells in bone marrow to die. A different study found that adding vitamin C via IV to typical chemotherapy drugs extended the average survival times of pancreatic cancer patients from 5.65 months to 12 months.

 

Then there’s the University of Kansas study that injected high doses of vitamin C into ovarian cells from humans. They found that the vitamin targeted the ovarian cancer cells without harming healthy cells, and they went on to repeat the study on mice and human subjects.

These findings wouldn’t be surprising to the researchers who worked on a review that was published in the Puerto Rico Health Sciences Journal in 2008. After looking at studies that used extremely higher amounts of vitamin C intravenously, they concluded that it can be effective against tumors, although they said that its efficacy could not be judged when it was administered orally.

 

Even though the authors called for further research into vitamin C’s cancer-fighting power, nothing was done about it at the time. After all, chemotherapy has been so profitable for the medical and pharmaceutical industries, and it would be hard to profit off of something as cheap, widely available, and unpatentable as vitamin C .

Actress Rose McGowan who triggered Harvey Weinstein's downfall says #MeToo movement is 'all bull****' and a 'lie to make lily-livered Hollywood types feel better'

 

Rose McGowan accused producer Harvey Weinstein of rape this time last year

Sparked more accusations as some tweeted #MeToo to expose alleged attackers

But McGowan says that Hollywood film industry's supposed liberalism is fake

Weinstein denies all allegations of sexual assault and rape as he awaits his trial

 

The actress who kick-started the exposure of Hollywood moguls who allegedly exploited positions of power to abuse women has branded #MeToo campaigners against sex attackers 'losers'.

 

Rose McGowan accused producer Harvey Weinstein of rape this time last year, sparking an avalanche of allegations in the entertainment industry and beyond.

 

As stars such as Kevin Spacey and Morgan Freeman were alleged to have assaulted or harassed performers, activists began using the hashtag to share their ordeals online.

 

But McGowan has slammed the movement as 'bull****' in today's Sunday Times Magazine, which comes the day after Judge Brett Kavanaugh was sworn in as a Supreme Court justice in the face of historic sexual assault allegations he denies.

 

After year of stars such as Salma Hayek and Gwyneth Paltrow claiming to be vistims of harassment, McGowan has said she understands why Donald Trump supporters hate Hollywood, whose apparent liberalism she says is fake.

 

On the subject of #MeToo, she said: 'I just think they're douchebags. They're not champions. I just think they're losers. I don't like them.

 

'How do I explain the fact that I got a GQ Man of the Year award and no women's magazines and no women's organisations have supported me?

Afghan Govt Rules Out Privatization of US War

 

US commander confirms Blackwater founder's proposal 'isn't happening'

 

With Blackwater founder and former CEO Erik Prince making the rounds in the US advocating the idea of “privatizing” the US war in Afghanistan, Afghan government officials are quickly issuing a flurry of statements ruling out such an idea.

 

The Prince plan is to replace the current US troops with military contractors, and he has argued that they could continue the 17-year-long war much more cheaply than has the Pentagon. There has been substantial resistance to the idea.

 

Afghanistan’s National Security Council not only ruled out the idea, but said they would consider such a move a violation of Afghan sovereignty. They added that they would use all legal avenues open to them to prevent a privatization of the war.

 

Centcom commander Gen. Joseph Votel also seemed to put the idea to rest in his own comments, saying of the plan simply that it “isn’t happening” despite how many meetings Prince has been having with officials.

‘Nauseating Rhetoric’: European Council’s Tusk Attacks Russia in Angry Speech

 

Russian President Vladimir Putin is doing everything he can to undermine the “the most beautiful political undertaking in Europe’s history,” said Donald Tusk, the president of the European Council (EC).

 

During a heated speech in Poland's Kraków, Tusk took Russia and its President Vladimir Putin to task, accusing the neighboring nation of working tirelessly to "weaken European unity" and "disintegrate Europe," cited by Politico.

 

Tusk pointed to Saturday's elections in Latvia, in which the pro-Russian Latvian Social Democratic Party (SDPS) appears to have won a majority of seats in the nation's parliament, as a negative consequence of Kremlin influence, ratcheting up his comments in fear-mongering attacks at Moscow and its chief of state.

 

"Our problem is Russia," Tusk declared, "which is undermining whatever it can undermine in Europe."

 

At a conference on the future of the European Union hosted by the Pontifical University of John Paul II in Kraków in southern Poland, Tusk asserted that he "can provide numerous examples to prove that Russians will not refrain from any means to weaken European unity."

 

The president of the EC — the governing body for the powerful European Union (EU) economic bloc — suggested that the Riga vote results were "a turning point for that region, a moment which was planned in the Kremlin and not in Europe," adding that the results of the popular Latvian national vote made him "anxious," cited by Politico.
