As the impeachment inquiry continues, we are now starting to see a release of the transcripts of those who have already testified. To date, we have four transcripts that have been released. These are extensive and are hundreds of pages each. Contained therein is further information as to what these individuals know and how it relates to the phone call between President Trump and President Zelensky of Ukraine, as well as events leading up to the call and events that have followed.
The Kapital News will do its best to make its way through these transcripts to find interesting bits of information that brings us to the truth. We are not concerned with who is implicated and who is exonerated. We are interested in the truth and in justice being served. The country is at a crossroads and the divisive tactics that are deployed, equally, by both parties, needs to end or it will be the end of our Republic. Stay diversified, stay vigilant, and stay with The Kapital News. #Truth #Justice #Impeachment #Peace #Economy #Politics #EndTheFed
Again, The Kapital News is ahead of the curve when only a couple of weeks ago, we issued a warning around Boeing. The podcast, titled, “GE/GM: Trouble at the Plant?,” also covered a discussion of Boeing. At the time, the concern in question pertained to airline pilots with Southwest Airlines filing suit against Boeing for lost wages. The 737 model is the only model employed by Southwest Airlines and the model that has been grounded globally for months is the Boeing 737 MAX 8 airline. The reason for the plane’s grounding is directly in relation to the two flights that crashed last year within six months of each other – killing all on board. What has been described as a flaw in the computer software on the MAX, may now be turning into something a little more nefarious.
It is now understood in part, that the pilots of these two crashed airlines experienced difficulties with the new computer software and were either unable to override the software or were too late in doing so. What is now being reported, is that Boeing personnel from a few years ago were discussing concerns centered around the software and sensor system on the MAX.
The MAX came into existence following a move by Boeing’s main competitor, Airbus, to increase the size of the engine on the Airbus model A320 – a similar plane to Boeing’s 737. The larger engine was supposed to translate into better fuel-efficiency, thus saving airlines millions of dollars. Not to be outdone, Boeing also made the decision to incorporate larger engines on the 737 and thus the 737 MAX 8 was born. A key difference between the A320 and the 737 is that the elevation clearance from the ground to wing on the A320 is greater than that of the 737. Therefore, the larger engine was easier to install on the A320 as opposed to the 737. This led Boeing to have to move the engine forward, causing part of the engine to actually sit higher than the wing of the 737. This change made it possible for the pitch or the trajectory of the nose of the MAX to steepen to such a degree that the plane could enter a stall and potentially crash. This is what happened on both of the downed airplanes. This change in trajectory is most likely to occur during take-off, which is what transpired on the Lion Air and Ethiopian Airline flights – crashing shortly after take-off. In order to account for this steepening, Boeing updated their software in conjunction with sensors, to detect such a dangerous steepening and then correct the aircraft to a safer position. This unfortunately did not occur during these flights and the pilots were unaware as to how to correct for this error.
What now appears to be the case, is that Boeing may have been driven by revenue, profits, and delivering an aircraft in a “timely” fashion to compete with Airbus. We hope that profits and speed were not prioritized at the expense of safety. If this happens to be the case – the damage this will do to Boeing and the greater economy could prove to be immeasurable. Boeing is the largest US exporter and the industries that they depend and likewise the industries that depend on Boeing on will be heavily hit. These include, steel, aluminum, carbon-composite materials, computers, electronics, glass, rubber, paint, and several others. This could be an industrial/manufacturing contagion comparable to the collapse of Lehman Brothers that truly kick-started the collapse of the 2008-2009 financial crisis and subsequent Great Recession.
This issue is being investigated by the FAA, the Department of Transportation, Congress, the DOJ, the FBI, and other global regulators. There will be much more to come.

Where to even begin?…We have alleged sex trafficker, Jeffrey Epstein committing suicide while in a maximum security prison. Of course the suicide remains in question. This is likely the tip of the iceberg when it comes to many individuals soon to be prosecuted for sex trafficking and the like. The figures in Epstein’s social circle consists of politicians, business executives, and celebrities. It is not a far stretch to imagine that a few members of “high society” are also somehow involved. However, everyone is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Clearly, something is amiss when a high-profile inmate commits suicide, is killed, etc… The question is, who benefits from his death? It is in this question that answers will be found. In global markets, we continue to witness a sell-off in equities, a flight to “safe-have” government bonds, and precious metals. Global yields continue to make multi-year lows and even all-time lows depending on the nation and the duration. The spread between the 10 and 2 year US Treasury is at its tightest spread in years and is nearly inverted. The 3 month and 10 year has been inverted for some time, yet, once the 10 and 2 year inverts, it’s basically a foregone conclusion that the end of this record-breaking expansion is drawing near. Protests continue in Hong Kong, leading authorities to shut down all out going air travel. This will be the 11th week of protests amid growing concerns that mainland China is seeking to exert more control over Hong Kong. This simply adds to the global uncertainty and may serve as another piece on the geopolitical chessboard, especially regarding the US-China trade war. Also, there was a surprise upset in the Argentinian elections – the market sold off 48% and the peso is trading at record lows against the US dollar. All corners of the globe are on edge and the bigger the bubble, the less the pressure that is needed to cause its bursting.

With the price of gold and silver on a solid streak as of late, is this a sign of more upside to come for the precious metals? On top of this, we have witnessed some large money managers come out with strong cases for higher gold prices. The likes of Ray Dalio, Paul Tudor Jones, Jeffrey Gundlach, and Peter Schiff to mention a few. What do these gentlemen know that the markets do not? Is it income inequality and the potential subsequent political fallout? Is it the expectation of more easy money and further rounds of global QE that may spark high inflation? Perhaps it’s a combination thereof, but regardless of which may be the case, it’s always prudent to be diversified, and in a world of growing uncertainty and a global economy awash in debt, owning some precious metals might not be a bad idea. In other news, get ready for the circus in DC as former Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller is set to testify next week. Enjoy the show! #EndTheFed #WakeUpAmerica #Peace

Escalation of both rhetoric and actions continues from Washington and Tehran. From oil tanker seizures to breaching uranium enrichment thresholds, both sides are digging in with little signs of abating. The global game of poker amongst and between “strong-men” continues and let us hope that bluffs do not cause another war. #Peace #NoWar
In other news, we have financier Jeffrey Epstein arrested once again and charged with sex trafficking crimes. He was shielded from federal prosecution back in 2008, but other charges are surfacing. The Kapital News has been discussing this issue for the past several months and we continue to believe that this is only the tip of the iceberg. We imagine many more well-known figures will be implicated throughout this and other investigations. Sex and human trafficking amounts to modern-day slavery and it needs to be eradicated. Was 2008 yet another case of our two-tiered justice system, with a prime example of the wealthy “walking?” Or is there more to it? Stay tuned.
The rhetoric between Washington and Iran is heating up. Following the increased sanctions on the people of Iran along with the regime itself, has caused a rebuke from the Iranian leadership. President Rouhani of Iran was calling the US Administration “mentally challenged,” which of course caused a response from President Trump. In Trump’s tweet, he said the Iranians face obliteration should “anything American” be targeted and struck. Meanwhile, there is a trilateral meeting taking place in Jerusalem between the Israelis, the Russians, and the Americans. This is an attempt to de-escalate the Middle East tensions as the Russians are signaling that Iran is their ally, while Israel and the USA continue to view Iran as a threat. As we have stated here previously, this can escalate quickly and could easily turn into WW3 – let us pray this is not the case. #PeaceNotWar
Special Prosecutor Bob Mueller made his first public statements regarding his report. By his own remarks, he is hoping that this will be his only statement – implying that he does not want to testify before Congress. Mueller did not make any breaking news. He concluded along with AG Barr that the President was not exonerated. He also went further to outline the DOJ policy that a sitting US President cannot be charged with a crime. Therefore, the decision becomes a political one for Congress – this is referring to the Impeachment process. This statement will be dissected over the coming days and both sides of the political aisle will dig in deeper. Just remember that he investigators are now under investigation and that Mueller and Barr are in agreement with the final conclusion(s).
Just when we thought that maybe the Dems, Repubs, and President could get together to get something done – the Dems make it political and charge the Pres with taking part in a cover up. Of course we’re talking about ongoing discussions regarding infrastructure now on the back burner, as the Dems want to continue their political narrative that the Pres committed obstruction of justice. Is the President in a lame-duck session until the 2020 elections? Because with this political divisiveness, it does not appear that much, if anything will be accomplished, and it’s a true shame because there are so many issues that need to be addressed. Regarding Brexit, PM Theresa May just lost another one of her ministers due to a resignation.

It’s not enough that we’ve been in the Middle East going on two decades. It’s not enough that we’re aggressively meddling in Venezuela. Now, we have to deal with more talks and actions pertaining to Iran. While the President calls it fake news, there is a story out from The New York Times, discussing possible plans of sending 120,000 US troops to the region to deter any kind of Iranian action. The American empire is in full-swing and by the way, we can’t afford it. Also, AG Bill Barr, has assigned the US Attorney from Connecticut, the task of investigating the investigators – the genesis of the Trump-Russia conspiracy investigation.

We heard some reports over the previous weeks that there was supposed to be a report coming out specifically regarding former FBI Director, James Comey. However, while the report was thought to be released this week, it was not. Yet, just yesterday evening, Jim Comey was back in the news giving an extensive interview with CNN. Is this just a coincidence that Comey was back in the spotlight or is he trying to get ahead of the story and tell his side? Lastly, a follow up with US/China trade talks and yes, tariffs have been imposed on Chinese goods at a higher rate. What happens next week or over the weekend is anyone’s guess as the Tweeter-in-Chief is capable of anything. #HappyMother’sDay
