US 2016 Election Is a Global Risk / ElectionOracle / US Presidential Election 2016
By: Dan_Steinbock
As America is struggling amid a historical protest election, the political risk could undermine US economic rebound and the lingering global economic recovery. Europe will be least immune to spillovers, says Dan Steinbock.Currently, the leading Democratic presidential candidates, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, are approaching the final showdown. Concurrently, the Republican establishment – including Senate’s majority leader Mitch McConnell and House Speaker Paul Ryan– is struggling to undermine the real estate mogul Donald Trump’s campaign by promoting Senator Ted Cruz, Governor Kasich and less-known ‘dark horses.’

Donald Trump - Make America Great Again / ElectionOracle / US Presidential Election 2016
By: Peter_Schiff
Donald Trump's critics have heaped scorn on his calls for protective tariffs to deal with America's widening trade imbalance and the resulting loss of higher-paying blue color jobs. Some have accused him of trying to turn back the clock in pursuit of a cheap populist ploy and have said that he simply refuses to acknowledge that America is now an information and service economy for which large trade deficits are the new normal. But voters are sensing that The Donald is right to sound alarm bells, and that something radical needs to be done to revive manufacturing to make America great again. But his tariff solution is hardly the best medicine. To be honest, given the even worse solutions that are being offered by the left, Trump's instincts may be preferable.

How Brexit Could Help All of Europe / ElectionOracle / EU_Referendum
By: MISES
Ferghane Azihari writes: The United Kingdom (UK) is about to hold a referendum on June 23rd on whether it should leave or remain within the European Union (EU). Once unthinkable, the "Brexit" is becoming more and more plausible. It is seen by the mainstream media as a factor of uncertainty in Europe. For its critics, Brexit would lead to increasing nationalism and protectionism. Nevertheless, those same critics forget the European Union is not a free-trade area.

Lucifer! Former Speaker Boehner Blasts Cruz / ElectionOracle / US Presidential Election 2016
By: Stephen_Lendman
John Boehner minced no words, calling Cruz “Lucifer in the flesh,” adding “I have never worked with a more miserable son-of-a-***** in my life.”
Trump sounds almost mild, calling him “lying Ted…a hypocrite…a nasty guy. Nobody likes him. Nobody in Congress likes him. Nobody likes him anywhere once they get to know him.”

Cruz-Fiorina Alliance Shows Desperation / ElectionOracle / US Presidential Election 2016
By: Stephen_Lendman
A days earlier announced Cruz-Kasich alliance to stay out of each other’s way in upcoming primaries as a way of challenging Trump faltered straightaway - Kasich urging supporters to stick with him.
Trump called their gambit “pathetic,” a desperation move. In response to Cruz naming Carly Fiorina his running mate, he posted an earlier TV clip on his Twitter page of her calling Cruz a politician who “says whatever he needs to say to get elected.”

OECD Suggests BrExit Would Cut Net Migration by 1.2 Million by 2030 / ElectionOracle / EU_Referendum
By: Nadeem_Walayat
The mostly funded by EU member states OECD's Pro-Remain report appears to have badly backfired is its analysis concludes that if the people of Britain voted for BrExit then that would result in 1.2 million FEWER migrants into Britain as average net migration into Britain would fall by 84k per annum and also slow house price inflation. So apparently according to a blundering OECD the people of Britain should vote to REMAIN so that Britain can be flooded by 1.2 million EXTRA migrants (+4.6 million total)!

Donald Trump Will Fire Janet Yellen and Be Trapped / ElectionOracle / US Federal Reserve Bank
By: Michael_Swanson
Donald Trump has made statements to the effect this week that if he were to become President he would fire Janet Yellen.
His statements are important because just yesterday he demolished his opponents in a series of primaries that increase his odds to get the Republican nomination. His chief opponent Ted Cruz posted a dismal failure and has been unable to convince people that he can be a viable national candidate against the Democrats.

Facebook Censors Pro Trump and Negative Hillary News / ElectionOracle / US Presidential Election 2016
By: BATR
The establishment protector of “PC” purity strikes again. By definition, Free Speech IS political. For reasons that only a hard core Hillary sycophant could understand, the mere posting or sharing of online reports on the 2016 Election Race is now blocked. Such a Facebook policy to disrupt political content goes to the heart of the Corporatocracy assault on open and uncensored political discourse. Little Mark Zuckerberg operates as the front and gatekeeper for the power elites who seek to manage, filter and remove information that does not fit into their plan for globalism.

President Obama Attends David Cameron's 'Political' Funeral as Brexit Looms / ElectionOracle / EU_Referendum
By: Nadeem_Walayat
President Obama dutifully followed David Cameron's script, heavily laden with the consequences of a Brexit and finished off with a nice sprinkling of threats, blowing away the illusion of a special relationship as Britain in trade terms at least would find itself at the back of the trade agreements queue following a Brexit vote victory, perhaps even behind North Korea!

Obama Instructs British Poodle to REMAIN Within the EU Superstate / ElectionOracle / EU_Referendum
By: Nadeem_Walayat
President Obama, the leader of the free world visits Britain today for the apparent purpose of instructing the British people to vote to give up their hard won freedoms in THREE wars (1st, 2nd and Cold War) to an bureaucratic undemocratic European Union, something that the American President himself would never contemplate for the US of giving up even an inch of American sovereignty to even nations that border it let alone that which Obama today proposes for the UK. One of sacrificing British sovereignty for the greater American good, one of the British identity being drowned out in a EU soup that is determined to average down living standards and civil liberties so that all europeans are equally poor and disenfranchised.

“Bernie’s gone” and the “new” Trump towers after NY Primary / ElectionOracle / US Presidential Election 2016
By: Michael_T_Bucci
“Bernie’s gone. You know that? Bernie’s gone,” Trump said on April 20 at a rally in Indianapolis, Indiana, the day after Hillary Clinton routed Sanders in the New York primary. “I love running against crooked Hillary,” he said. “Bernie wouldn’t be as much fun.”
Every election year promises full employment in industry sectors that serve the public with almost daily opinion polls that tell you what one- to two-thousand people (a sampling) think about every candidate and issue; and, in case you can’t think for yourself, a generous assortment of pundits (usually biased) who will connect the dots and tell you what “most Americans think”.

Who is Voting for Trump and Why / ElectionOracle / US Presidential Election 2016
By: Mike_Whitney
30 years of wage stagnation followed by one wealth-eviscerating asset bubble after another has drained the optimism from the collective American psyche. Most people now think things are going to get worse for themselves and their children. This pervasive pessimism shows up in other surveys as well, like this recent Gallup poll in which the sample-group was asked, “In general, are you satisfied or dissatisfied with the way things are going in the United States at this time?”

Trump Is No Peace Candidate / ElectionOracle / US Presidential Election 2016
By: Stephen_Lendman
Throughout its sordid history, all US presidents supported war, not peace - including Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln and both Roosevelts.
Traditional US policy from inception refutes the notion of a peace candidate becoming president - Jack Kennedy the one exception.
He entered office a warrior, transformed himself into a peacemaker, was killed for wanting all US forces out of Vietnam by end of 1963, normalized ties with Soviet Russia, nuclear disarmament, and the CIA disbanded, among other anti-establishment views.

It's over 50 years on from when Britain's first attempts under Harold Mcmillion to join the then Common Market was refused TWICE by the French, the first in 1963 at a a summit in Paris where at the very last minute de Gaulle literally sang "Ne Pleurex Pas, MiLord!", leaving a tearful Harold Macmillan to fly back home in disgrace.

IMF Warns of BrExit Apocalypse, Global Chaos if Britain Votes LEAVE in EU Referendum / ElectionOracle / EU_Referendum
By: Nadeem_Walayat
The Paris based and tax payer funded IMF, headed by unelected bureaucrats and manned by academics paints a dire picture for not just Britain but the entire world, not that far from an Armageddon style mass extinction event if the people of Britain apparently vote for freedom in the June 23rd EU Referendum.

America’s Money Controlled Political Process / ElectionOracle / US Presidential Election 2016
By: Stephen_Lendman
From inception, America was never beautiful or democratic. Rich and powerful interests run things exclusively for their own benefit, ordinary people entirely shut out.
Secrecy and backroom deals substitute for a free, fair and open process. Candidates are pre-selected. Big money owns them. Rare exceptions prove the rule.

UK Government EU Referendum Propaganda Leaflet Backfires as Anger Spurs BrExit Support / ElectionOracle / EU_Referendum
By: Nadeem_Walayat
The Conservative government's baldrick-esk cunning plan of using £10 million of tax payers money to send out 27 million pro-Remain propaganda leaflets to Britains households looks to have badly backfired as its announcement has increasingly been met with a wall of anger from the electorate at what is seen as blatant attempts to gerrymander the election by the establishment by spending TAX PAYERs money on a leaflet the cost of which is EXCLUDED from the supposed £7 million election spending limits for either LEAVE or REMAIN camps.
