And here is the gold mining ETF:
 
 
Does the gold and silver index confirm the breakout? Yes. The rise in gold was 1.32% today, while the miners' index increased by 1.39%. That is just one day's results and further evaluation is required.

Strange coincidences.

I am about to share with you one of the strangest things that I have come across in a very long time. In the late 1800s, author Ingersoll Lockwood wrote a series of novels which appear to have striking parallels to events happening today. In his first two novels, The Travels and Adventures of Little Baron Trump and His Wonderful Dog Bulgar and Baron Trump's Marvelous Underground Journey, an extremely wealthy little boy with "a very active brain" named Baron Trump is guided on a series of extraordinary adventures by a man known as "Don". And if you can believe it, little Baron Trump's adventures actually begin in Russia:
For starters, the main character's name is the same as President Donald Trump's son, albeit spelt differently. Trump's adventures begin in Russia, and are guided thanks to directions provided by "the master of all masters," a man named "Don."
Before leaving for his voyage through the unknown, Trump is told of his family's motto: "The pathway to glory is strewn with pitfalls and dangers."
Illustrations from the novels depict Trump dressed in lavish, old-fashioned clothing and jewelry as he departs from Castle Trump and begins his voyage, heading to Russia to locate an entrance into alternate dimensions.
That is strange, right?
Subsequently, Lockwood wrote another novel entitled The Last President in which the election of a very unpopular "outsider candidate" sparks huge mob riots by "anarchists and socialists" in New York City. The following comes from the Daily Mail:
The story opens in a New York City in turmoil. It's early November right after the election of an enormously opposed candidate.
The East Side of the city, which is where the Women's March began the day after Donald Trump's inauguration, is in a "state of uproar."
The 19th-century book says police officers shouted through the streets as "Mobs of vast size are organizing under the lead of anarchists and socialists, and threaten to plunder and despoil the houses of the rich who have wronged and oppressed them for so many years.
The Fifth Avenue Hotel will be the first to feel the fury of the mob," the novel continues. "Would the troops be in time to save it?'
Of course, anarchists and socialists would not be rioting if a Democrat was elected, so obviously the president in this particular story would be a Republican.
And today Trump Tower actually stands on Fifth Avenue.
I don't know if there is any special significance to any of this. I just found these parallels to be absolutely fascinating, and I thought that I would share them with all of you. Some people out there believe that Ingersoll Lockwood was trying to warn us about our future, but others are downplaying the parallels these stories have with modern-day events. For example, this is how Snopes concluded their article on this matter:
Although these books contain some seemingly bizarre coincidences, they are not evidence that Donald Trump has access to a time machine. Time-travel conspiracy theories such as this one pick and choose material that supports their conclusions while ignoring everything else. For instance, these books also contain giant turtles, alternate dimensions, a battle with a big white crane, a dog named Bulgar and a little smiling man frozen in time. Since these aspects have no clear connection to the Trumps, they are omitted from the conspiracy theory.

Before I end this article, let me share with you another "amazing coincidence" that I just came across.
By now, all of you have probably heard about the remarkable solar eclipse that is going to take place on August 21st. Well, it also turns out that the path of this solar eclipse will almost entirely cross areas of the country that voted for President Trump...
A Boston Globe article attempting to make a connection between the solar eclipse and President Trump supporters is being widely mocked on social media.
The article by Globe reporter Matt Rocheleau, titled "The solar eclipse path will overwhelmingly pass over Trump Country," starts off by asking the question, "Is the eclipse throwing shade at Clinton supporters?" [Editor's note: It appears that the Globe has removed this article from its website.]
In fact, of the approximately 240 counties that this eclipse will cross, a whopping 92 percent of them voted for Trump last November...
He said the path is roughly 70 miles wide and spans about 240 counties—92 percent of which swung in Mr. Trump's favor, "while fewer than two dozen counties voted for his opponent, Hillary Clinton."
The article points out that Mr. Trump himself was born on June 14, 1946—the same day there was a total lunar eclipse, "though it wasn't visible from the United States, NASA records show."
To me, that is rather remarkable, but once again many are pointing out that this could potentially be "just a coincidence."
When it comes to Trump, there seems to be so many of these "coincidences". For instance, on his first full day in office Trump was 70 years, 7 months and 7 days old, and that just happened to take place in year 5777 on the Hebrew calendar.
And here are some more extremely strange numbers that I discussed in a previous article:
  • Israel was 77 days old exactly 777 days after Donald Trump was born.
  • Israel's 70th birthday will come exactly 700 days after Trump's 70th birthday.
  • Donald Trump won the election on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's 7th year, 7th month and 7th day in office.
I don't know what special significance all of these facts may have, but I do know that we are living in highly unusual times.
All of human history has been leading up to the times that we are moving into, and I believe that we are going to see great chaos and upheaval. But there is no other time in human history when I would have rather lived, and I can't wait to see what is going to happen next.

Has Rosenstein misled Chris Wallace?

First, I apologize for the gap at the beginning of the copy of Rosenstein's letter in the previous post. The issue arises out of the question of Chris Wallace to Rosenstein and his answer:

Here’s Rosenstein, and here’s the question from Chris Wallace. “I understand that Mueller’s investigation is not a fishing expedition, but you say he’s gonna look into any matters that arose or may arise directly from the investigation. So in the course of his investigation of the issues that he’s looking at, if he finds evidence of a crime, can he look at…” What this means is, “Here’s the reg. You’re given boundaries,” in this case, Russia.
“Okay, in the investigation of Russia you find that Trump might have used cigarette butts in asphalt in 1988, and it might be against EPA regs. So the reg would say that Mueller has to go back to the AG and get permission to investigate Trump’s use of cigarette butts in asphalt in a construction project in 1988 — and if he’s denied permission to investigate it, he can’t.” That’s what Wallace is asking him. Essentially the question is: If he finds a crime, can he investigate that?
ROSENSTEIN: If he finds evidence of a crime that’s within the scope of what Director Mueller and I have agreed is the appropriate scope of his investigation, then he can. If it’s something outside that scope, he needs to come to the acting attorney general — at this time, me — for permission to expand his investigation. But we don’t talk about that publicly, and so the speculation you’ve seen in the news media? That’s not anything that I’ve said. It’s not anything Director Mueller said. We don’t know who’s saying it or how credible those sources are.(From the Rush Limbaugh show)
 
Reading Rosenstein's loosely worded memo you may conclude that Mueller is allowed to go on a fishing expedition into Trump's business deals, that he is allowed to find evidence of shady deals in Trump associates and use that to coerce these associates to testify against Trump or send them to jail for refusing to do so. All this in secret. Mueller's is NOT a lawful investigation in the American tradition. It is an attempted COUP to nullify the resulf of the 2016 Presidential election.

So, the 'conventional wisdom' of the manipulators is that manipulating the prices of commodities is hurting only the speculators. Evidence points to a great deal of havoc in Canada; a state which is heavily dependent on mining:

Canada’s Entire Housing Market Is on the Verge of Collapse

By Justin Spittler, editor, Casey Daily Dispatch
Toronto’s housing market is unraveling.
Last month, home sales in Canada’s biggest city fell 40%. That was the largest annual decline since 2009.
But that wasn’t the only bad news to come out this past month.
The price of the average home in Toronto also fell 4.6% in July. That’s the biggest monthly decline since at least 2000.
It was also the third straight month that Toronto home prices fell. The average home is now selling for $175,000 less than it did in April.
That’s a staggering decline. But it’s just the beginning.
You see, the number of house listings in Toronto also jumped 5% last month. There are now 65% more homes listed for sale in Toronto than there were a year ago.
This is a bad sign.
• It tells us homeowners in Toronto are running for the exits…
If this doesn’t change, the supply of Toronto homes will outstrip demand. This will send prices even lower.
Most investors aren’t taking this seriously. But they should.
After all, Toronto isn’t headed for a run-of-the-mill downturn. It’s headed for a crash.
I’m not the only one saying this, either.
David Madani, an economist at Capital Economics in Toronto, thinks housing prices could plunge as much as 40%. Madani also said that the coming downturn will be deeper and longer-lasting than previous ones.
That’s the last thing Toronto can afford right now.

• Toronto’s housing market has been booming for nearly two decades…
Local housing prices are now up 218% since 2000.
That’s far more than prices have climbed in New York, Miami, Las Vegas, and even San Francisco.
Prices have risen so quickly, the average person can no longer afford to live in Toronto. These days, the only way to swing it is to borrow huge sums of money.
It’s complete insanity.
That’s why I’ve been writing about Toronto’s housing bubble this year. It’s also why I’ve been urging investors to take shelter.
If you took my advice, great. You’re much better off for it. If you haven’t yet, please read this essay closely.
As you’re about to see, a Toronto housing crash isn’t just a problem for Canadian real estate investors. Anyone with money in Canada’s stock market is in danger right now.
I’ll explain why in today’s essay. I’ll also tell you how to “flip” this crisis into big profits.
But let’s first be clear about something. This isn’t just happening in Toronto.
• Canada’s entire housing market is collapsing…
In June, nationwide home resales fell 6.7%.
That’s the biggest monthly drop since 2010. It was also the third consecutive month that this happened.
The number of monthly home sales in Canada is now down 14% since April.
That’s a big drop. But it’s only going to get worse.
You can see why by looking at the chart below. It shows Canadian housing prices going back to 1975. It also tracks U.S. housing prices for comparison.
You can see that Canada’s housing market wasn’t slowed down by the last global financial crisis. It just kept rolling.
Canadian housing prices are now up 101% since 2009. And they’re up 218% since 2000. U.S. housing prices are up 85% over the same period.
As if that weren’t crazy enough, the average house in Canada is now selling for 16 times more than the average Canadian’s income. For perspective, this same ratio peaked at 12.5 during the last U.S. housing bubble.
