Do They Know Something We Don’t? Corporate Insiders Are Selling Stocks at the Fastest Pace in 10
A lot of things are starting to happen that we haven’t seen since the last recession. A few days ago, I wrote about the fact that home sellers in the United States are cutting their prices at the fastest pace in at least eight years, and now we have learned that corporate insiders are selling stocks at the most rapid pace in ten years. So why are they dumping their shares so quickly? Do they know something that the rest of us do not? Certainly nobody can blame them for taking advantage of the ridiculously high stock prices that we are seeing in the marketplace right now. But stock prices have been very high for a while. Why is there such a mad rush for the exits all of a sudden? According to CNN, corporate insiders have sold 5.7 billion dollars worth of stock so far in September…
CEOs are using the market boom to quietly cash in their own chips.
Insiders at US companies have dumped $5.7 billion of stock this month, the highest in any September over the past decade, according to an analysis of regulatory filings by TrimTabs Investment Research.
It’s not a new trend. Insiders, which include corporate officers and directors, sold shares in August at the fastest pace in 10 years as well, TrimTabs said.
It would be one thing if September was an anomaly, but the fact that insider shares were being sold so rapidly in August as well indicates that this is a clear trend.

U.S. Economy Setting Records, Surprising Market Bears
The Conference Board’s report on consumer confidence in September, released earlier this week, caught forecasters by surprise once again. Its Consumer Confidence Index, a barometer that measures the average American consumer’s confidence based on a monthly survey covering 5,000 households, jumped to 138.5 from August’s 134.7. Economists polled by Reuters expected a drop to 132. The baseline is 100, set back in 1985.

BBC Misreports Trump’s Words — Replaces “More” With “War”
UK network delivers catastrophic fake news
The BBC tweeted a gross misrepresentation of President’s Trump’s words given during his UN speech by reporting Trump said “war will follow” rather than his actual words, “more will follow.”
The UK network’s world news Twitter account (@BBCWorld) sent the false message on Tuesday to its 24 million followers.
“Donald Trump tells UN General Assembly ‘war will follow’ after his decision to re-impose sanctions on Iran, who he accuses of ‘slaughter in Syria and Yemen.’“ reads the now deleted BBC tweet.
After another account acknowledged the gravity of what was reported, the BBC account issued a correction tweet that specified Trump’s real words were “more will follow” as well as adding the hashtag “#ourbad.”

Stop Google’s Kiddie Data Predators
No consent. No disclosure. No escape.
For legions of unwitting students and teachers across the country, this is the dangerous, de facto data policy Google has imposed over their school districts. An estimated 80 million students and teachers are now signed up for free “G Suite for Education” accounts (formerly known as Google Apps for Education); more than 25 million students and teachers now use Google Chromebooks. A Google logon is the key to accessing homework, quizzes, tests, group discussions, presentations, spreadsheets and other “seamless communication.” Without it, students and teachers are locked out of their own virtual classrooms. …
Springfield, Missouri, public schools employee and parent Brooke Henderson, along with her sister, Brette Hay (who is also a mom and educator), were horrified to discover that even if they logged out of their G Suite accounts, their personal passwords, bank account information, parents’ personal data, spouses’ sensitive data and children’s browsing habits were being stored on district-issued Google Drive accounts. Unbeknownst to the sisters, Google’s auto login and auto-sync functions allow the collection and archiving of non-education-related information across the extended family’s devices.
Henderson showed me screenshots and videos of these breaches, including storage of her young niece’s personal voice-to-text searches and memos and her nephew’s YouTube viewing records. Even worse, such information is accessible to unknown numbers of district employees. The security concerns are multiplied and exacerbated by other third-party data management systems used by Henderson’s district that “play well” with Google, such as Instructure’s program Canvas and single sign-on program Clever.

Tucker Carlson: ‘Kavanaugh Stands Between the Democratic Party and the Power it Seeks’
Tuesday on Fox News Channel’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” host Tucker Carlson warned of the dangers of the mob mentality facing Supreme Court associate justice nominee Brett Kavanaugh and what it meant for the future of American society’s interpretation of the presumption of innocence.
According to Carlson, bypassing that norm is a product of Democrats seeking to thwart Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the high court, which he noted comes at a price.
“It’s worth saying that most Democrats in Washington don’t really hate Kavanaugh personally,” Carlson explained. “He’s hardly an abrasive character, as you learned if you watched his interview with Martha [MacCallum] last night. There’s nothing personal about any of this. Kavanaugh stands between the Democratic Party and the power it seeks. He is in the way. He must be crushed — in this case, along with his wife and his two little girls. Sorry, that’s the cost of winning. No omelets without some broken eggs.”

Bombshell WSJ Story Confirms “Systematic and Methodical” Chinese Theft of US Trade Secrets
A deep dive into how China “systematically pries technology from U.S. Companies” by the Wall Street Journal gives essential context to President Trump’s rising trade war with Beijing at a moment that both Chinese and American mainstream media relentlessly bash the president for his unprecedentedly tough stance on China.
And yet such a bombshell story exhaustively documenting multiple major instances of China caught in brazen acts of theft of American technology and trade secrets has barely made a splash in the rest of major media, and likely won’t hit the network news shows with so much as a whimper: after all it may confirm that Trump is right, and admitting this will certainly not gain ratings.
Foremost among Trump’s demands after he announced tariffs on about half of all US imports from China while threatening to impose tariffs on the second half, is that China cease requiring American companies turn over trade secrets in order to do business there. Trump has consistently blasted China’s “unfair trade practices” which includes stealing US intellectual property.

Coming to America! Google’s Chinese Censorship App and Control Grid
Orwell couldn’t have dreamed of such a dystopian nightmare
Google is helping China establish a censored search engine code-named “Dragonfly” to monitor its citizens’ online activity and blacklist websites and search terms about human rights, democracy, religion and peaceful protest.
Meanwhile, a coordinated effort across the internet to censor conservative viewpoints in America has already begun.
The Dragonfly search engine is eerily reminescent of the dystopian social media seen in the hit show Black Mirror’s episode titled, “Nosedive.”
The episode portrays a society controlled by a social scoring system that controls every aspect of the lives of its citizens.
China is creeping closer and closer to implementing a similar social scoring system with the country aiming to have its version monitor all 1.4 billion citizens by 2020.

Jamaicans Publicly Question Chinese Investment and Influence

Additionally, Jamaican government signed a loan agreement with China’s Export and Import Bank in February 2017, for $384 million to renovate 110 kilometers (about 68 miles) of the South Coast Highway, which runs from the Harbour View in Kingston to Port Antonio in Portland, a parish on Jamaica’s northeastern coast, according to the Jamaican government.
“You think it can’t happen to we [sic], after all these pretty lights and motorways?” Mutabaruka said.
Currently, Jamaica sits on a mountain of debt. According to a May 16 article by Jamaica information website DigiJamaica, total debt stands at roughly $15 billion as of the end of March, citing data from Jamaica’s Ministry of Finance. The country’s external debt is roughly $10 billion. It isn’t known how much of that is owed to China. …
While Beijing has claimed its investments and loans to Jamaica are for the benefit of both countries, the former’s motives could be read between the lines in a policy paper on Latin America and the Caribbean issued by the central government in November 2016.
In the document, Beijing called for greater military cooperation with the two regions in the realms of training, trade, and technology. Politically, Beijing stated that it would engage with countries in the region on the basis of the “One China” principle.

(ANSA) — Rome, September 27 — The Italian Bishops Conference (CEI) and Interior Minister Matteo Salvini on Thursday sparred over the latter’s recent decree cracking down on migrants and upping security.
CEI chief Cardinal Gualtiero Bassetti said he was “worried about the abrogation of stay permits for humanitarian motives and also the reduction of these permits because in this way there is a risk oof exposing many people to an uncertain future, as well as expulsion linked to a first-instance conviction which does not seem fully in line with the Constitution”.
Salvini replied: “I’m happy there are so many people in the Vatican worried about those landing in Italy but my wages are paid by 60 million Italians who want to live in their homes with more peace of mind.
“Less clandestine immigration means more security for the Italians”.

California Schools Pushing Racist, LGBT, SJW Agenda on Children
Today’s lesson plans are written by Social Justice Warriors and LGBT activists.
California public schools aren’t your grandfather’s schools any longer. Today’s lesson plans are written by Social Justice Warriors and LGBT activists.
Examples of what’s being taught:
The Santa Barbara Unified School District adopted curriculum from the Institute for Equity in Education, a project of JUST Communities:
“White People: A term used to describe people of European ancestry, who have historically held positions of dominance, privilege, and social power in Western society. This term has changed over time based on societal notions of those in power.”
“Collusion (of white people) working together to make something happen…—intentionally or unintentionally—consciously or unconsciously—by action, inaction, or silence.”
“(White People) Privilege: Unearned access to resources that enhance one’s chances of getting what one needs, or influencing others in order to lead a safe, fulfilling, productive life.”
California Department of Education, transitional kindergarten through grade three…explains gender:
“Some people say there are only two genders. But there are really many genders. And for some people there are more than just two choices. These are just a few words people use: trans, genderqueer, non-binary, gender-fluid, transgender, gender-neutral, agender, neutrois, bi-gender, third-gender, two-spirit…”
“…and there are even more words people are using to describe their experience. This is called gender spectrum.”
“Babies can’t talk, so grownups make a guess by looking at their bodies.”
In his community of Elk Grove, CA, Greg Burt, the Director of Capitol Engagement with the California Family Council, is in the midst of reviewing some new state approved curriculum published by textbook publisher Pearson Press, that parents were encouraged to review Sept 10. Burt took a picture of a first grade lesson on Citizenship featuring Gavin Newsom as the “Champion of People’s Rights.”
It’s curious why Gavin Newsom, the former Mayor of San Francisco and California’s Lt. Governor, made the pages of an elementary textbook when former California Gov. Ronald Reagan, or current Gov. Jerry Brown are not in it. This is campaign hype; Newsom is running for Governor, but isn’t the Gov yet.

I didn’t really want to admit I’m a big Doctor Who fan, but I thought I needed to talk about this.
The new Doctor is a woman, and I think they’ve destroyed one of the most important dynamics in the show.
Feminists have claimed that the Doctor needs to become a woman in order to set an example for young women, but I think having strong, intelligent and rational companions sets a much better example for girls.
I think this move is purely political. This is about the left ruining our fun and sticking their noses in where it isn’t wanted.

” Feminism Killed “Doctor Who”
It’s not just Dr. Who. ‘Feminism’ destroys everything it touches. It wouldn’t surprise we if we end up with a Black cis gendered transvestite James Bond before ere too long.
Yeah, the Doctor is a guy. I hope she fails.

“Maghrebi Fried Kitty”…
A islamic bearded african wearing white man-jammies as a mascot? I am sure it would be a huge success in culturally enriched neighborhoods. After all, cat probably tastes just like chicken!
Affirmative Action degrades everything because “merit” is discarded.
I constantly read the German blog of Alan Medford. In Russia, such reports are much larger, in proportion to the population and territory. But our television tells us about “decaying Europe”, hushing up what is happening in Russia.
