In Shocking Finding, The Bank Of Japan Is Now A Top 10 Holder In 90% Of Japanese Stocks

The latest shocking example of just how intertwined central banks have become in not only Treasury and corporate bond markets and their respective “valuations”, but also in stocks, comes courtesy of the Bank of Japan which days ahead of an announcement which may see it double its ETF purchases from the current JPY3.3 trillion to JPY7 trillion or more (if Goldman is correct) has just been revealed to be a top 10 holder in about 90% of all Japanese stocks!

As Bloomberg puts it, “they may not realize it yet, but Japan Inc.’s executives are increasingly working for a shareholder unlike any other: the nation’s money-printing central bank.”

While the Bank of Japan’s name is nowhere to be found in regulatory filings on major stock investors, the monetary authority’s exchange-traded fund purchases have made it a top 10 shareholder in about 90 percent of the Nikkei 225 Stock Average, according to estimates compiled by Bloomberg from public data. It’s now a major owner of more Japanese blue-chips than both BlackRock Inc., the world’s largest money manager, and Vanguard Group, which oversees more than $3 trillion.

Black is the New Orange is the New Black.

Members of the GOP are loudly complaining about Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe’s executive order to restore the voting rights of 206,000 felons who are (ahem) “likely Democratic voters” just in time for the general election in November.

Pope Dropped Christian Refugees, Takes ONLY MUSLIMS To Vatican Instead

isis pope2Pope Francis, in a ‘gesture of compassion’ decided to take 12 Muslim Syrian refugees back to the Vatican to live. But when it was discovered that 2 of the 12 Syrian refugees were actually Christians, and not Muslims, they were dropped like a hot potato and told they could not come even though the Vatican had promised to take them. As usual, Middle Eastern Christians get nothing while all the focus remains on the Muslims. That’s the agenda from your New World Order pope. Christians are ignored because they don’t commit jihad and they are not trying to take over Europe like the Muslims are. Muslims are promoted and given preferential treatment because the NWO wants to invade as many nations as possible. And you think the Pope is a Christian?

Muslim Uber driver refuses to accept blind woman because she had guide dog

Jade Sharp

This article doesn’t mention the most likely reason why this is happening, and that is probably because the Daily Mail knows that printing the truth would be “Islamophobic”: the Uber driver, Mohamed Mohamoud, was Muslim, and Islam hates dogs: “Once Gabriel promised the Prophet (that he would visit him, but Gabriel did not come) and later on he said, ‘We, angels, do not enter a house which contains a picture or a dog.’” — Sahih Bukhari 4.54.50

“Abdullah (b. Umar) (Allah be pleased with them) reported: Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) ordered the killing of dogs and we would send (men) in Medina and its corners and we did not spare any dog that we did not kill, so much so that we killed the dog that accompanied the wet she-camel belonging to the people of the desert.” — Sahih Muslim 3811

“Ibn Mughaffal reported: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) ordered killing of the dogs, and then said: What about them, i. e. about other dogs? and then granted concession (to keep) the dog for hunting and the dog for (the security) of the herd, and said: When the dog licks the utensil, wash it seven times, and rub it with earth the eighth time.” — Sahih Muslim 551

I Think Target Finally Read HB2

Target Changes Restroom Policy After Receiving Boycott Threats

Target has announced that after listening to their customer base and carefully reviewing the newly announced chain-wide policy regarding transgender customers using the bathroom that matches their gender identity, they have decided to temporarily reverse the policy until they can find a new solution that ensures all of their guests are comfortable while using the restroom.

The recent controversy surrounding Target was set in motion on Tuesday April 19th when they released the following statement confirming a new policy about customers and bathrooms:

“Recent debate around proposed laws in several states has reignited a national conversation around inclusivity. So earlier this week, we reiterated with our team members where Target stands and how our beliefs are brought to life in how we serve our guests.

Inclusivity is a core belief at Target. It’s something we celebrate. We stand for equality and equity, and strive to make our guests and team members feel accepted, respected and welcomed in our stores and workplaces every day.

Looks Like Bill Wasn’t the Only One Fooling Around

Web Hubbell and Chelsea Clinton. The stories that make tabloid circulation. Is this a newsworthy affair? Or should we be concentrating on why Hillary Clinton is not under arrest for treason? The answer is obvious but the reality is different. Bread and circuses.

Cutting through the liberal propaganda on HB 2

Image result for homosexual bullying tactics

The propaganda campaign about House Bill 2 has reached a fevered pitch, and the media have been complicit in fueling hysteria and gross misrepresentations about the bill. The truth is that HB2 made very few substantive changes to North Carolina law. In fact, the policy of the state with respect to bathrooms, employment and most other matters did not change one iota when the bill was passed.

In a March 29 blog post on its website, the ACLU–North Carolina exclaims, “North Carolina’s lawmakers passed and Gov. Pat McCrory signed the most egregious, sweeping, hate-filled anti-LGBT legislation in this country’s history. Overnight, Governor McCrory and lawmakers transformed North Carolina into one of the most hateful states in the nation for LGBT people.”

This is outrageous! Quite the contrary, HB2 was passed to rein in a rogue city council in Charlotte that acted beyond its legal authority, to establish a statewide bathroom privacy and safety law clarifying existing state policy and to enumerate existing state policy as it relates to discrimination in employment and public accommodations.

Latest Shock From Europe’s Refugee Crisis: Austria Right-Wing Party Sweeps First Round Of Presidential Election

The fallout of popular anger emanating from Europe’s refugee crisis, which may have moderated in recent weeks following Europe’s desperate attempts to bribe Turkey to keep as many refugees in its borders as possible (unleashing the era of unprecedented Turkish leverage over European sovereigns, including Germany and the Netherlands) continued today with a dramatic result from the first round of Austria’s presidential election, where initial results showed that the candidate of the Freedom Party, Austria’s right-wing, anti-immigrant party has swept his competition, gathering over 35% of the vote and leaving the other five candidates far behind.

Among the losers were the hopefuls nominated by the government coalition, reflecting significant voter dissatisfaction with the country’s political status quo.

Life Under A Muslim Dictator

Turkey’s Erdogan Goes Full-Dictator: Arrests Dutch Journalist For Critical Tweet

One month ago, we cited Turkey’s president Tayyip Recep Erdogan who said that “it is not only the person who pulls the trigger, but those who made that possible who should be defined as terrorists, regardless of their title,” when was urging parliament to include journalists, politicians, academics, and activists under the country’s anti-extremism laws.

Erdogan’s comments came a day after the latest in a string of suicide bombings ripped through Ankara, killing 34 and wounding more than 100 in Kizilay. Since then, Turkey has arrested nearly 50 people with “suspected ties” to the PKK against which Erdogan is waging a highly personal crusade.

However, Turkey’s President didn’t think parliament was moving fast enough on his “request” to expand the definition of “terrorist” because in a speech on Wednesday, he effectively instructed lawmakers to get moving before also urging parliament to deal with “the issue of immunities.

If at First You Don’t Secede, Try, Try Again

As of 2014, Texas’s per capita GDP in current dollars was about US$61,200, which would make it one of the top 10 wealthiest nations on the planet, equal to Australia.  Most of this top 10 is made up of very small and geopolitically irrelevant nations (Liechtenstein, Qatar, Luxembourg, Bermuda, Norway, and Switzerland), meaning that it would be Texas and Australia as the two wealthiest among the serious players.

This is not a fight for equality, inclusiveness or even political correctness. It is a fight against morality and plain old common sense. Any “leader” who supports jeopardizing our children should be tarred and feathered. And I don’t mean figuratively.
