A British author has an op-ed in the 6/18/16 Wall Street Journal complaining about Obama’s “back of the queue” remarks to British voters considering voting in favor of exiting the European Union. “Britain and Obama’s ‘Back of the Queue’ I agree with the author’s basic point that it was out of line for Obama to insert himself into British politics, let alone threaten the entire country if they did not vote the way Obama wants (stay in the EU)..However, this guy then recited the “proof” that UK has been such a great ally of the U.S. that it would be...

Anyone who gives publicity to terrorists and their cause has blood on their hands It must become illegal to identify the name and cause of terrorists who commit terrorist acts, let alone give their life story and put their photo on magazine covers. They are publicity stunts and any publicity is a reward for committing the act. Those who give them publicity should be held liable and made to compensate victims of subsequent terrorist acts.http://www.johntreed.com/…/68512835-terrorism-is-a-publicit… Not identified at Umpqua In the Umpqua terror incident, the police refused to identify the SOB. Initially the media made a big show of agreeing...

My college classmate John Dallen said it would be interesting to see the list of all the felonies the Clintons appear to have committed.Let’s create that list:I started it in the 3/96 issue of my newsletter Real Estate Investor’s Monthly http://www.johntreed.com/…/john-t-reed-s-real-estate-invest… Whitewater felonies The article I wrote was called “Whitewater felonies.” It said she and Bill appear to have violated the following federal felonies in Whitewater which essentially was a series of mortgage applications and documents to extend a necessary line of credit.

The various prominent people discussing Hillary’s email are not capturing the true nature of it.There are two kinds of government documents: those where secrecy is PROHIBITED and those where secrecy is REQUIRED.The former are documents subject to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). The latter are military and diplomatic and other types of federal government secrets.As Secretary of State, Hillary probably had the highest security clearance or the next to the highest.But Hillary had a totally different mindset. The only enemy she recognized was the media and the Republican Party; her only goal, the presidency. The only relevance of safeguarding...

I stand corrected. In my book How To Protect Yourself from Hyperinflation & Depression, 2nd edition (http://www.johntreed.com/…/john-t-reed-s-book-on-hyperinfla…), I said my research turned up many examples of disinflation, like the 1981 ending of inflation in the US by Reagan and Volcker, but none of dis-hyperinflation. Disinflation means the currency inflates, then the inflation subsides, and the nation in question still uses the same currency that was hyperinflated. I mentioned that to a guest at a dinner party Wednesday. He said he could give me an example of dis-hyperinflation and that he was involved in it.He is George P.
