The Libertarian agenda gains ground.

A few of these things are perhaps the a more basic political commentary, nonetheless it is what is interesting to me at the moment:

A) Vote rigging in both America and England seems to be being dealt with just a little, or at least it is on the agenda. Nigel Farage has been telling some truth on Channel 4, and because of Ted Cruz's hijinks in the GOP nomination in Iowa (CNN article!) people are ready for him.

B) UKIP and Leave.eu have endorsed the Grassroots out political campaign to leave the EU. This has the effect of freezing out the not so helpful Vote Leave and really creating a very promising political co-operation in the effort for Britain to leave the EU.

C) Donald Trump won in New Hampshire... Whooo! So did the anti establishment left candidate opposing Hillary Clinton.

D) The markets are not doing well, in fact they are doing rather catastrophically.

It really is very serious.

The FTSE is below it's lowest intraday point of 2015 as is the DAX. The DOW is falling and will possibly soon hit that all important point for me (which probably has absolutely no significance in the real world) 15,666 -> The will of the devil.

Most alarmingly for the mainstream populace it appears that some of the bonds being held have been overvalued and some hedge funds are trying to hide this. This means that some banks are going to go bankrupt (liquidate and sell off their holdings). This will probably effect your everyday mom and pop investor.

A massive effort that is underway in Syria that will kill the political opposition to Assad, the arm of Da'esh called 'moderate rebels'. This is also a key fight in Syria that will see a major loss for Da'esh. Which is why Saudi Arabia and Turkey are considering entering the fray.
