On January 16, 2013, the Bundesbank – one of the biggest gold holder in the world, with 3,378 tonnes – shocked the world: out of the blue, the German central bank announced that by December 31, 2020, it intends to store half of Germany’s gold reserves in its own vaults in Frankfurt, up from only 31% at the time. The plan would mean repatriating a total of 674 tonnes of gold, 300 from the New York Fed’s gold vault, and another 374 from the Bank of France. The transfer, the Bundesbank explained, was meant to “build trust and confidence domestically, and the ability to exchange gold for foreign currencies at gold trading centers abroad within a short space of time.”   Continue reading “German Central Bank Completes Repatriation Of $28 Billion In Gold Three Years Ahead Of Schedule”

Inner-city blacks are rejecting calls from a Chicago pastor to tear down a local George Washington monument and change the name of Washington Park. For one community organizer, the attacks against our nation’s historical monuments are an attempt to manufacture a race war that won’t help anyone in the black community.

In the fallout of the Charlottesville, VA, rally over the removal of a Robert E. Lee monument, Bishop James Dukes, a pastor, is calling for the name of Chicago’s Washington Park to change and for the removal of the park’s monument to our nation’s first president, George Washington.   Continue reading “Race War Hoax Exposed: Black Chicagoans Say Leave Washington Statue Alone”

Las Vegas, NV — Earlier this year, body camera video from Las Vegas police showed the horrifying and fatal confrontation between Tashi Brown and multiple cops with the LVPD. One of those cops, Kenneth Lopera was just arraigned this week on charges of manslaughter and oppression under color of office.

Brown had committed no crime. In fact, it was later reported by the department that had the unarmed man survived this encounter, police would’ve had nothing to charge him with.   Continue reading “First Vegas Cop Charged Since 1990 as Video Shows Him Choke, Taser Innocent Man to Death”

On the same day millions of Americans were thrilled to witness — and equally distracted by — a total solar eclipse, Donald Trump decided it was time to announce a “dramatically different” foreign policy plan for the U.S. military in Afghanistan.

Just how “different” is Trump’s new plan? In reality, the ‘new’ plan is simply more of the same failed policy of the past, one Trump promised to put an end to numerous times over the years prior to moving into the White House. The only difference is the childish language Trump used to justify the decision, repeatedly vowing to “win” the same conflict James Mattis told Congress “we are not winning” back in June.   Continue reading “14 Times Trump Warned Against Doing What He Just Did in Afghanistan”

Among the 893 people who were arrested during the Rochester riots of 1964, according to the city’s statistics, the vast majority were either unemployed or unskilled workers.

Those 804 people gave a sense of the Rochester that was below the radar screen of community leaders when the riots broke out.

“It was a great shock to people who were very confident in the benevolent nature of the community. Clearly, generous benevolence was not sufficient to deal with the problems,” said Chris Lindley, who was then teaching history at the University of Rochester and later served as deputy mayor.   Continue reading “1964 Rochester riots spawned FIGHT, other community efforts”
