Chris Martenson: The Rising Oil Price Will Pop This Bubble

What is going to cause this financial bubble to pop? Economic researcher and futurist Chris Martenson says, “The price of oil is likely going to be the pin that pricks these bubbles. No central banker is going to do it. They are deathly afraid of these markets they have created.

They are afraid of a downturn in the markets, and they won’t willingly go there. What could force that is the price of oil. The higher price of oil is going to really harm some weak players out there.

The chain reaction always starts with somebody not being able to pay their debt back.”

Get Off the Sidelines: The Second American Revolution is Upon Us

I got a really crappy email from someone I have supported in the past because he thinks President Donald Trump is just playing his role in the grand globalist scheme. I'm tired of the pessimists who have no skin in the game. 

Those of us who are part of the SECOND AMERICAN REVOLUTION have all our chips in the Constitutional basket - and anyone who thinks we're not far better off with President Trump in the White House is either delusional, or... worse. Oh, and by the way, according to Q, Obama lawyered up today. 

None of this would be happening if the wicked witch was in the White House.

How The Worm Turns: Mueller Obstruction Probe Said To Be Wrapping Up Much Faster Than Anticipated

President Donald Trump said last night that he's "looking forward" to testifying under oath some time during the next two or three weeks. Well, according to Bloomberg he may just get his wish even as Republicans have so far failed in their push to convince the Justice Department to appoint a second special prosecutor to investigate the FBI.

The fact that Mueller is pushing to interview Trump - and, as reports from the New York Times and NBC have revealed this week, has recently interviewed several of Trump's most-senior staffers - suggests the special counsel's investigation into possible collusion between Trump and Russia - an investigation that has since pivoted to focus on whether Trump committed obstruction of justice, as well as the financial improprieties of his associates - appears to be inching toward its conclusion much faster than anticipated, Bloomberg reports.

“Clearly the names that are coming out now indicate that we’re into the obstruction of justice side of it,” said Stanley Twardy, a former U.S. attorney for Connecticut who’s now a white-collar criminal defense lawyer at the law firm Day Pitney LLP. “He’s now getting people who are closest to the president, closest to the issues.”

Indeed, Jeff Sessions, Dan Coates, Mike Pompeo and Don McGahn have all testified - and Steven Bannon is expected to meet with Mueller's team later this month. According to legal experts, this suggests that the investigation is nearing its conclusion.

Michael Weinstein, a former Justice Department trial attorney who’s now a white-collar defense lawyer with Cole Schotz P.C. told Bloomberg that "Traditionally when you are interviewing people at that level you are doing so at the end of the investigation," Weinstein said. “They have already established what they think are the facts and are now looking to see if these individuals are going to provide consistency with those facts or possibly take a different view of what the special counsel has.”


“They will have a meeting to discuss what they have, whether the facts revealed a violation of the law and, if the answer is yes, does it justify bringing charges or a referral to Congress for a filing of some obstruction,” he said. “Unless something earth-shattering comes out, Mueller is likely already thinking through what his next step is, and that could take a couple weeks.”

Trump's lawyers argue that Trump, as the president, reserves the right to fire his FBI director at will and was simply executing his constitutional authority. Trump has insisted that there was "no collusion," and "no obstruction."

But even if evidence supports an obstruction charge (setting aside, for a moment, the fact that Comey testified to Congress that he didn't believe the president's actions amounted to obstruction) legal experts claim that Mueller wouldn't try to set a legal precedent at the expense of a sitting president, and that the bigger risk for Trump is perjuring himself during the interview - assuming he follows through with it, that is.

“I don’t think Mr. Mueller would ever try to make legal precedent at the expense of a sitting president in the context of an obstruction of justice charge,” Twardy said. He said the biggest concern for Trump in an interview is probably the risk of committing perjury, as Mueller will cross-check his comments and recollection against the testimony and evidence he’s obtained from Coats, Comey, Flynn, Sessions and others."

Instead of pursuing criminal charges, Bloomberg reports that Mueller will likely refer his findings to the Republican-controlled Congress.

Meanwhile, the leaders of several Congressional investigations into campaign-era abuses on both sides have joined together to hold the FBI accountable for what appears to be an egregious abuse of power. Documents turned over by the bureau have revealed that agents favored Hillary Clinton over Trump.

They're also examining the role partisanship may have played in excusing former Trump rival Hillary Clinton: Former FBI Director James Comey was accused of drafting the letter excusing Clinton before she was even interviewed. And when she was interviewed, she wasn't sworn in.

Some Republicans have defended Mueller while still trying to hold the DOJ accountable.

Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley has also pursued bias allegations against the FBI over its handling of the Clinton and Trump probes, but he has defended Mueller’s investigation.

“I expect Mueller to do his job,” Grassley said Wednesday. “His job is to do the investigation” and go where the facts take him.

But others, including Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes - the Republican Congressman who's so far spearheaded the party's push to expose corruption at the FBI and DOJ - have questioned Mueller's impartiality. And with the first details from the infamous FISA memo showing that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, Comey and Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe were each involved in Obama-era abuses, the Republican response to Mueller is just beginning to percolate, and could well be setting the stage for Trump's eventual termination of Mueller.
