Larry Kudlow said the single biggest news story is the economic boom

Nobody believed in a 4,1 percent growth in the U.S, but now it can jump to around 4,6 percent. The economic boom in the U.S is awesome. There is no doubt that President Trump has given the U.S economy a new life.

Larry Kudlow know what he is talking about. A man who began his career as a junior financial analyst at the New York Federal Reserve. He soon left government to work on Wall Street at Paine Webber and Bear Stearns as a financial analyst.

Kudlow joined the administration of Ronald Reagan as associate director for economics and planning in the Office of Management and Budget. Kudlow is a man I have been watching many times on CNBC, and now he is serving as Director of the National Economic Council under President Trump.

Freedom of speech is NOT a lisence to abuse – It is a responsibility!

It started the same day President Donald Trump was inaugurated. The MSM (Mainstream media) showed pictures from the day Trump was inaugurated, but it was only minutes after they opened up for ordinary people. The picture was not packed with people compared to Obama`s inauguration.

 

But people were watching the ceremony, and they aren`t stupid. They know that MSM tried to tell them something FAKE. A bad start for MSM, and this is back in January 2017. It`s a surprise to see that this witch hunt is still going on. They try to bring down Donald Trump.

There is no doubt that freedom of speech is understood to be fundamental in a democracy, and it has always been like that. It is thought that ancient Athens` democratic ideology of free speech may have emerged in the late 6th or early 5th century BC.

The values of the Roman Republic included freedom of speech and freedom of religion.

Concepts of freedom of speech can be found in early human rights documents. England`s bill of Rights 1680 legally established the constitutional right of `freedom of speech in Parliament` which is still in effect.

The declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, adopted during the French Revolution in 1789, specifically affirmed freedom of speech as an inalienable right. The Declaration provides for freedom of expression in Article 11, which states that:

The free communication of ides and opinions is one of the most precious of the right of man. Every citizen may, accordingly, speak, write, and print with freedom, but shall be responsible for such abuses of this freedom as shall be defined by law.

MSM is acting like a little child. They lie and produce fake news and claim they have freedom of speech.

President Trump is attacking FAKE NEWS. Not the free press or freedom of speech.

On Thursday, more than 360 newspapers coordinated an attack on Trump. They said: Stop the war on a free press, Journalists are not the enemy and so on. 360 editors together against one man reminds me of Gang Stalking mentality which is not good at all. Trump tweeted that the «Fake News Media» is the Opposition Party.

You have freedom of speech, but shall be responsible for such abuses of this freedom.

The Russia hoax, liars, leakers and liberals are all about corruption at the highest level

The Dems still cannot belive that Trump won the election in 2016. They still blame on Putin and Russia, but President Trump won despite the fact that nearly everybody in MSM tried to destroy him. Not only that, the FBI and the Deep State tried to steal the election. It is corruption at the highest level.

Analyst Gregg Jarret reveals the real story behind Hillary Clinton’s deep state collaborators in government in his book The Russia Hoax. The illicit scheme to clear Clinton and frame Donald Trump. His book is now a New York Times best seller.

Judge Jeanine Pirro is also out with a book called Liars, Leakers and Liberals. The case against the Anti Trump conspiracy. Another New York Times bestseller. This is the story the Fake News media doesn’t want you to hear. A withering indictment of the Deep State plot against Trump and a firsthand account to the real presidency.

At this point in American history, people are the victims of a liberal sabotage of the presidency unlike anything we’ve ever witnessed. Nevertheless President Trump continues to fight every day to keep his promise to Make America Great Again.

This is bad, and much deeper than everyone thought. Mueller’s team is about corrupting justice. This is a story about people who think they have more power than anyone else, and they belive that the law doesn’t matter. Thats what Mueller’s team is about.

Pirros book uncovers the elements of this conspiracy, including fake news propaganda, law enforcement corruption at the highest level, national security leaks by the intelligence community, bureaucratic resistance to lawful and constitutional executive orders issued by the duly elected president and crooked deals with foreign governments by U.S officials sworn to defend the U.S constitution.

A nation cannot survive treason from within, but this is not unique to the U.S. We all know the story behind John F Kennedy. People doesnt belive in the Warren commission story. They blame on the police force in Texas, and the Deep State in the U.S.

Right after Trumps inauguration, he said Look to Sweden, and he is right. Sweden is burning. A country that have a similar story. Prime Minister Olof Palme was killed, but people doesnt belive in the story in a case that still is open. People is Sweden blame on the Police force. Just like the U.S.

Swedish author Jan Guillou write about a similar story in his book The Enemy within. A novel about Ewa Tanguy. She transferred early in the novel from the fraud squad of the Swedish police to Sapo, the National Security Police, a branch which she herself distinguishes on several occasions from the real police.

Ewa have colleagues whose methods are not simply questionable but even illegal. More worrying to Ewa, and presumably the author, is the extent to which the not so good cops can behave badly with the sanctions of the law.

The author has his own reason for a grudge against Sapo. In 1973 he and fellow journalist Peter Bratt revealed the existence of a government agency which secretly gathered information on Swedish citizens at home and abroad, using illegal surveillance. The revelation caused a scandal in Sweden.

While the work is one of fiction, its firm basis in reality is clear to any reader whose country has introduced such laws to further the so-called war on terrorism. A press review quoted in the book itself describes the text as not a fiction but more of a warning cry. A view clearly supported by the interview with the author that follows the body of the text.

Contrary to the conventional police drama, this novel raises more questions than it answers, not only about the guilt or otherwise of those eventually convicted, but also about the rights of such suspects both before and after arrest, about laws designed to target particular groups in a community, and about the destruction of aspects of democracy by the very processes that are supposed to protect it.

The Fed kept the interest rate unchanged at 1,75 – 2% while Switzerland have negative interest rate at -0,75

Federal Reserve Board Chairman Jerome Powell announced on Wednesday that it kept the benchmark interest rate unchanged. The statement comes after a two-day meeting of the FOMC, which decides on monetary policy.

Powell said the job market would remain strong and inflation would stay around the 2 percent target for “several years.” This is great for the U.S because it gives the Fed some tools to use if the trouble are coming back. But what about the rest of the world? Are they healthy?

The picture is different in Switzerland. The Swiss National Bank kept its benchmark three-month Libor at -0,75 percent on June 21st, 2018. Interest rate in Switzerland reached an all time low of -0,75 percent in January of 2015, and it`s still at the same low-level. But they are not alone.

Denmark followed Switzerland in 2015 and dropped the interest rate to -0,75 only a month after them. The Danish central bank follows the path set by the ECB and the key rate will be raised or lowered when the ECB changes the refinance rate.

The Danish central bank`s main policy aim to hold the euro`s exchange rate within 2,25 percent either above or below 7,46038 kroner in an effort to keep inflation low and provide stability for exporter. Now the Danish rate is -0,65.

Sweden joined the negative interest club, and the central bank of Sweden held its benchmark interest rate at -0,5 percent on July 3rd, as widely expected, saying monetary policy needs to continue to be expansionary for inflation to remain close to target despite strong economic activity.

Japan is the last country in the world to have negative interest rate. They reached an all time low of -0,1 percent in July this year. The BOJ vowed to keep rate extremely low for extended period of time and opted for flexible bond buying at its July 2018 meeting.

In addition, Japan`s policymakers left its key short-term interest rate unchanged at -0,1 percent and kept its 10-year government bond yield target around 0 percent.

In other words; you are lending your money to governments and you are paying them interest for that, which mean it`s cheaper to put your money under your mattress. But that strategy can be very risky.

The goal is to make people spend money rather than pay a fee to keep it safe. This is intended to incentivize banks to lend money more freely and businesses and individuals to invest. This is how you make growth.

During deflationary periods, people and businesses hoard money instead of spending and investing. The result is a collapse in aggregate demand, which leads to prices falling even further. This again will lead to a slowdown in production and output which means higher unemployment.

Negative interest rates can be considered a last-ditch effort to boost economic growth, which means when all else has proved ineffective and may have failed. 21 countries like Spain, Italy, Greece, France, Finland and Malta to name a few, are holding its interest rate at 0,00. The Euro zone is joining the club.

In 2014, the ECB instituted a negative interest rate that only applied to bank deposits intended to prevent the Euro zone from falling into a deflationary spiral.

The ECB held its benchmark refinancing rate at 0 percent on July 26th and reiterated that the monthly pace of the net asset purchase will be reduced to €15 billion from September to December 2018, and will then end.

The ECB expect the interest rate to remain at their present levels at least through the summer of 2019, and in any case for as long as necessary to ensure the continued sustained convergence of inflation to levels that are below, but close to 2 percent over the medium term.

The risk surrounding the euro area growth outlook can still be assessed as broadly balanced. Uncertainties related to global factors, notably the threat of protectionism, remain prominent.

The European Union rose “only” 0,4 percent in Q1 of 2018

Last week I talked about America`s fantastic growth of 4,1 percent on quarter in Q2 of 2018, and this is only the beginning. It is no doubt; President Trump must be doing something right. But, what about the European Union?

GDP in the European Union rose «only» 0,4 percent on quarter in the first three months of 2018. Not much to write home about. But the growth have never been above 1 percent since the financial crisis in 2008.

The European Union reached an all time high of 1,30 percent in 1999 and that is right before the tech bubble burst. Since then it has been a dead fish, reaching an all time low of -2,60 percent in the first quarter of 2009.

At the same time we can see that the unemployment rate reached a record low of 6,80 percent in February of 2008, and that`s right before the financial crisis. It reached an all time high of 11 percent in February 2013, but in May this year it fall down to 7 percent again.

This isn`t good enough if we are living in a capitalistic world.

The European Union in Brussels are nothing more than unelected bureaucrats. Draghi and the ECB have, just like Japan and the U.S «printed» a lot of money, and will continue to do so. If they can`t turn around the ship, they need to consider a strong cheerleader.

European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker had a meeting with President Trump last week. They were talking about trade, free trade and tariffs. Mr Trump`s goal is to make better deals so both the U.S and the EU can take more profit and prosper.

I think that the EU should be glad for that and they need to hurry up. The U.S is the world`s third biggest exporter, yet exports account «only» for 13 percent on GDP. Exports in the U.S reached an all time high of 215328 USD million in May this year, which is pretty impressive.

The EU has 28 member states and the biggest among them all is Germany (21 percent of total GDP), the United Kingdom (15 percent), and France (15 percent).

Exports of goods and services account for 46 percent of GDP while imports account for 42 percent, adding 4 percent of total GDP. But this is about to change. If the UK contribute with 15 percent of the total GDP in the EU, then what will happen to their growth after Brexit?

That being said; nor is the UK a success story. The British economy grew by 0,1 percent in the first three months of 2018 and well below 0,4 percent in the previous period. It is the lowest growth rate since a 0,1 percent contraction in Q4 2012.

The largest contribution to growth in the UK was from household spending at 0,2 percentage points. From the production side, the service industries made the largest contribution to GDP growth, followed by production.

Agriculture, the smallest component within the output approach of GDP made no contribution to growth to one decimal place, while construction deducted from GDP growth. The service industries increased by 0,3 percent.

Positive growth was recorded within all sub-sectors of the services industries; distribution, hotels and restaurants (0,1 percent vs -0,1 percent).

President Trump have repeatedly said that the EU have treated the US very bad. I have written many articles about that long before Mr Trump`s inauguration. The European Commission has fined Google €4,34 billion for breaching EU antitrust rules this month.

In May 2009, Intel was imposed with a 1,06 billion euro fined for abusing its market dominance on central processing units. Microsoft has been in trouble with the Commission on several occasions. In 2004, the Commission ruled that Microsoft had abused its market dominance.

In 208, the Commission fined Microsoft nearly 900 million euros for charging «unreasonable» royalty fees. In 2013, another fine of 561 million euros was imposed on Microsoft. This time for failing to comply with the Commission`s ruling that it had to allow users to more easily choose a prefered web browser.

The European Commission fined Facebook for 110 million euros in May this year in relation to its takeover of WhatsApp. Facebook acquired the messaging service in 2014 for $19 billion, but provided the Commission with misleading information about the acquisition.

In August 2016, the Commission ruled that tech giant Apple had received illegal tax benefits from Ireland worth up to 13 billion euros. Ireland was ordered to recover the unpaid tax from Apple, plus interest.

As early as 1966, British Politician Tony Benn said that «Communism run by commissars from Moscow did not work, and nor will capitalism run by commissioners in Brussels. Both deny people their right to develop in their own way.»

Now, under President Donald Trump, big companies like Apple are moving home to the United States with billions of dollars. Apple alone, are bringing in $230 billion. They will build new plants and a magnificent campus.

They will spend their money wisely and the money will be in the U.S. All this is possible because of Trump`s tax cuts and reforms. This is how you make growth.
