Sir Roger Moore, James Bond actor, dies aged 89 23 May 2017 From the section Entertainment & Arts Copy this link http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-40018422 Image caption Roger Moore starred in seven Bond films Actor Sir Roger Moore, best known for playing James Bond, has died aged 89, his family has announced. He played the famous spy in seven Bond films including Live and Let Die and the Spy Who Loved Me. Sir Roger's family confirmed the news on Twitter, saying he had died after "a short but brave battle with cancer". The statement, from his children, read: "Thank you Pops for being you, and being so very special to so many people." "With the heaviest of hearts, we must share the awful news that our father, Sir Roger Moore, passed away today. We are all devastated," they said in a Twitter post. Sir Roger, who died in Switzerland, will have a private funeral in Monaco in accordance with his wishes, they added. "The love with which he was surrounded in his final days was so great it cannot be quantified in words alone," read the statement from Debora, Geoffrey and Christian. "Our thoughts must now turn to supporting Kristina [his wife] at this difficult time."

Amazing isn't it? Today's news of him asking more folks to deny collusion is beyond words.... B/A

Did you have to use that 4 letter word??? LOL B/A

Farming is a great example. Honestly, do you see young Americans from age 15 to 30 working as hard? I just don't see it. When I've hired companies for construction, landscaping or whatever, the immigrants (Legal or illegal, I don't know which the companies hire ) work much harder than the Millenniums. B/A

I have a friend from Panama. He and his wife are both legal immigrants and both work for a company called Shaw Industries in Dalton, GA., a small town of less than 100,000 people. You may of heard of Shaw Industries, they are the largest flooring manufacturer in America. The funny thing is, both Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush visited Bob Shaw the owner when they were running for president. Why would presidential candidates make a stop in such a small town? That's easy they were looking for contributions. And they got them on a large scale. So my friends who work there at Shaw Industries get very disgusted by the illegals. You see, they came here legally, have paid their dues and are living the American dream. Here is what makes them angry. Not the illegals, but the owners of Shaw. You see, they hire many illegals to work cheap and without benefits. In the many factories they own there is a big red light and loud siren. These warning devices go off every couple of months and the illegals all scramble out of sight as they have been instructed to do by management. Then about 15 minutes later the INS shows up and does their routine inspection. They find no illegals and go on their way. As my friend put it to me, the owners get a call before the inspectors arrive and avoid getting caught using illegals and avoid paying the fines. So like it or not, Shabs is correct that the problem does not lie with the illegals, but with the companies who hire them. Pretty simple. The illegals would not come if they were not hired. So call your Senator and Congressman and remind them that they are in charge and they need to cut off the head of the immigration beast and go after those who provide the jobs. Let me know what they tell you... B/A

You know the Clintons... The Circle of Death!!! B/A

And so it begins... In 6 months people will be hearing how their retirement just got wiped out and wonder where all the money went... It is a cycle. Wash, Rinse, Repeat B/A

I need to see the birth certificate!!! B/A

The Fed is a private bank owned by the Rothschild's... They only have one purpose... to make money. At anyone's expense. They play a game. They buy everything low after a crash then cash out at the next peak. They will again drive the market up and will wait until the average guy invests their life savings via 401K, IRAs, etc.. Then they will crash the markets by cashing out causing another massive sell-off. Then they will take their profits and buy everything cheap again, then drive the markets back up... Well you get the picture. Wash, Rinse, Repeat. These people have been controlling the markets with this simple game for a long time. They take advantage of people's greed. As professional banker/traders they understand when people see huge gains like they have seen recently, the average person (retail investor) gets greedy and thinks it will keep going up. Average investors don't understand, professionals see gains like 30 or 40% and take the money, while the uneducated and greedy think gains will go to 100% or even more. They (The Rothschilds, Illuminati) or whatever else you want to call them start selling early, then the investment companies see this and start selling too. Soon things start crashing and average people panic and sell. Sometimes they sell for less then they paid. When everyone is bummed out and afraid of the market, they (the masters of the game) come back in and buy everything cheap... It was a Rothschild who coined the phase "buy when there is blood in the streets". http://www.investopedia.com/articles/financial-theory/08/contrarian-investing.asp?lgl=v-table B/A

Stocks are selling off, Dow down 350 Myles Udland Yahoo Finance May 17, 2017 Stocks were selling off on Wednesday after hitting record highs earlier in the week. Just after 2:45 pm ET on Wednesday, the Dow was down about 250 points, or 1.7%. The S&P 500 was down 40 points, or 1.7%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq was off 146 points, or 2.3%. Gold prices were up about 1.8% to around $1,258 an ounce, while crude oil prices were up about 1% to trade just above $49 a barrel. Treasuries were also rallying, with the 10-year yield falling to 2.26% and the two-year moving to 1.26%. Treasury prices rise as yields fall. Stocks are selling off on Wednesday. (Source: Yahoo Finance) More Wednesday’s drop in markets comes after Tuesday evening saw the second damaging story for President Donald Trump in as many days. The New York Times reported Tuesday evening that Trump asked former FBI director James Comey to to end an inquiry into ties former national security advisor Michael Flynn had to Russia. And this report came just a day after The Washington Post reported Trump revealed “highly classified” information to Russia’s foreign minister. And as Bespoke Investment Group pointed out in an email early Wednesday, the market reacting negatively to Trump-related headlines is a definite change in character from what we’ve become accustomed to in recent months. After the market’s violent election night reaction, stocks have more or less moved up and to the right unabated, with the political chaos roiling Washington, D.C. seeming to have little impact on financial markets. Stocks, as we noted above, are near record highs and volatility in the market has collapsed. But this does not mean that the oft-mentioned political risk is completely gone from markets. As Bespoke notes, if and when political headlines begin to move markets in earnest it will happen quickly. On Tuesday, Yahoo Finance’s Sam Ro highlighted commentary from Greg Valliere, chief global strategist at Horizon Investments, who said that “nothing” is likely to derail markets. “North Korea is getting closer to having an ICBM that could get close to Hawaii, with a scary payload; a U.S. pre­emptive strike is still on the table. And cybersecurity finally has emerged as serious threat,” Valliere wrote. “Markets will have to worry about these issues, but they won’t significantly affect interest rates or earnings.” And while this may be true, another thing worth keeping in mind is that while stocks have enjoyed a strong run over the last six months, most every year features a decline of 5% or more in the stock market. No matter the catalyst, then, investors ought to always be ready for a big drop in the stock market.

Investors betting on Wall Street calm are getting pummeled as stock market sells off By Mark DeCambre Published: May 17, 2017 2:31 p.m. ET Two trading vehicles that allow investors to bet against volatility are on track for worst one-day drop since September AFP/Getty Images Betters on market calm are suffering on Wednesday. By MarkDeCambre Popular bets on low volatility were pummeled on Wednesday, as the market endured its first big selloff of 2017 following a protracted period of calm on Wall Street. A pair of popular ways to bet on a protracted period of calm in the markets were getting hammered as the stock market suffered its worst daily decline in months. The VelocityShares Daily Inverse VIX Short-Term exchange-traded note XIV, -13.47% called XIV, was off more than 10%, putting it on track for its sharpest one-day drop since Sept. 13, according to FactSet data. Another popular ETF product that allows investors to bet on market calm, the ProShares Short VIX Short-Term Futures ETF SVXY, -13.47% or SVXY, also was down by about the same amount and looking at its steepest daily drop since September. See also: Trump fears sink stocks worldwide as safe-haven assets rally The so-called exchange-traded products were designed to allow investors to essentially bet against soaring volatility and had otherwise enjoyed an extended period of success year-to-date. The XIV is up a whopping 58% so far in 2017, while the SVXY boasts a similar year-to-date advance. The CBOE Volatility Index, or VIX — the index those funds are pegged to — is jumping the most in about eight months amid Wall Street’s first major equity-market selloff in months. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -1.51% is on pace to see its worst daily drop since Sept. 13, 2016, while the S&P 500 index SPX, -1.52% and the Nasdaq Composite COMP, -2.20% have been threatening to ring up their sharpest one-session drop since March 21. Investors have increasingly been piling into these antivolatility bets, represented by big inflows over the past weeks. Those trades came as the VIX, otherwise known as Wall Street’s fear gauge, closed at its lowest level since 1993 last week.

Stressed out about having Trump as the next president? It may relieve you a bit to think at least he’s not a reptilian shapeshifter. Queen Elizabeth II has been seen shapeshifting from reptilian form to human form. Even Vladimir Putin has witnessed this gruesome, if not captivating transformation.SHE SHIFTED BETWEEN THIS FORM AND HER HUMAN STATEBack in 2014, Putin was set to meet the Queen on the 70th anniversary of D-Day. The pair meet up in Normandy, France, but Putin kept as far away as possible. He suffered extreme media backlash for not even helping the Queen up the stairs. Why would a leader let Putin let his personal image suffer like that?Well, sources close to Putin have announced it was because Putin saw a shocking transformation of the Queen just moments before the encounter. She is quoted to have a “long reptile face, almost like a beak, and she is a sickly gray dish water color.” Talk about a first impression! The Queen shape-shifted numerous times during her interaction with Putin, and even later during a photo-op with other important leaders such as Barack Obama and General Herry Mateparae. Putin could only interpret Queen Elizabeth's transformations as a threat.He spoke to his staff about this in detail, noting that the Queen wanted to show a clear example that she is not someone to mess with. Could any militia tackle a country who’s power resides in Queen Elizabeth II, a high priestess in a long line of reptilian Illuminati members? Could all of England’s high office-holders be part of this bloodline? Does even little Prince George and Princess Charlotte have reptilian DNA? How can the other countries of the world come together to combat these transformers? These are the questions we need an answer for, and we won’t stop till every last scale is discovered.

Not as good as most professional politicians, but sadly still a liar.... Personally I don't like liars or thieves.... They are the worst people of all. B/A

I don't think it is the citizens. I think those in power are not ready to give it up because Donald or anyone else says it is the right thing to do. Values and morals are gone from those in power... The citizens have no voice. No power. The Electoral College proved that. You know I'm no Clinton person, but she won the citizen's vote. Yet, those in power decided Trump was the choice. And now that Trump has tried to rock the boat, he will be taken down. He may have wanted to change the system, but the system isn't ready to change... B/A
