  Friends for three decades, Trump whisperer says he is
  ‘stunned’ by president’s rhetoric

  Billionaire Thomas J. Barrack Jr. has done what few others in Trump’s orbit have
  done: He told the president, in effect, that he was wrong. "In my opinion, he’s better
  than this,” Barrack said.

  Trump’s relationship with Barrack is one of the most important, if little understood, of
  the president’s life, offering a case study of what it takes to remain close to him in a
  time of such turmoil.

  Slowing economy could increase pressure on
  Big Tech

  Sara Fischer, David McCabe, Courtenay Brown5 hours ago

  A potential recession, combined with increasing regulatory threats for some of the biggest
  tech companies, foreshadows a difficult 2019 for Silicon Valley.

  Why it matters: The biggest tech companies have already raked tn billions of dollars in
  profits and benefited from major tax cuts that aren't going to be repeated, so next year isn't
  likely to be better for them financially. They've also been dogged by scandals that have left
  many questioning their positive role in society, and if on top of that the economy starts to
  slip, 2019 could be worse.

  "People look for scapegoats in a bad economy. And with big tech already on its heels, a
  downturn probably would feed arguments that the largest internet companies are too big
  and need to be reined in."

  — Paul Gallant, an analyst with Cowen Washington Research Group

  Big Tech is closing out a contentious year in Washington, and potential regulation will
  continue to haunt it well into 2019.

  ° Google CEO Sundar Pichai has agreed to testify before Congress, and will likely be
  asked about whether the company is being transparent about its data privacy practices and
  any potential bias. By the year's end, the CEOs of Twitter, Google and Facebook will have
  been called to testified in front of Congress for the first time ever during 2018.

  ° Lawmakers in the United States are pushing for a federal privacy law with an urgency
  likely to be exacerbated by more breaches like the one Marriott disclosed last Friday.

  ° The Federal Trade Commission still has an open investigation into whether
  Facebook’s conduct violated a previous settlement with the agency. Margrethe Vestager,

  V.4110". 
  A startling story published by the European Union Times, could be the one of the worlds biggest conspiracy theories, a plot for a movie or a 
  frightening scenario for the U.S. and world economy. 
  Dominique Strauss Kahn 
  According to the on-line publication a new report prepared for Russian Prime Minister Putin by the FederalSecurity Service(FSB) says that 
  former International Monetary Fund (IMF) ChiefDominique Strauss-Kahnwas charged and jailed in the US forsex crimeson May 14 after his 
  discovery that all of thegoldheld in theUnited States Bullion Depositorylocated at Fort Knox was missing and/or unaccounted for. 
  According to this FSBsecretreport, Strauss-Kahn had become increasingly concerned earlier this month after the United States began stalling 
  its pledged delivery to the IMF of191.3 tons of goldagreed to under theSecond Amendmentof the Articles of Agreement signed by the 
  Executive Board in April 1978 that were to be sold to fund what are called Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) as an alternative to what are called 
  reserve currencies. 
  This FSB report says that when Strauss-Kahn raised his concerns with Americangovernment officials close to President Obama he was 
  contacted by rogue elements within the CIA who provided him firm evidence that all of thegoldreported to be held by the US was gone. 
  Upon Strauss-Kahn receiving the CIA evidence, the report said, he made immediate arrangements to leave the US for Paris, but when 
  contacted by agents working for Frances General Directorate for External Security (DGSE) that American authorities were seeking his 
  capture he fled to New York CitysJFK airportfollowing these agents directive not to take his cell-phone because US police could track his 
  exact location. 
  Once Strauss-Kahn safely boarded anAir France flightto Paris, the FSB report says, he made a fatal mistake by calling the hotel from a phone 
  on the plane and asking them to forwarded the cell-phone he had been told to leave behind to his French residence, after which US agents 
  were able to track and apprehend him. 
  Within the past fortnight, the report continues, Strauss-Kahn reached out to his close friend and top Egyptian banker Mahmoud Abdel Salam 
  Omar to retrieve from the US the evidence given to him by the CIA. Omar, however, and exactly like Strauss-Kahn before him, has been 
  chargedby the US with a sex crime against aluxury hotelmaid, a charge the FSB labels as beyond belief as Omar is 74-years-old and a devout 
  Muslim. 
  In an astounding move puzzling many in Moscow, Putin after reading thissecretFSB report ordered posted to the Kremlins official website a 
  defense of Strauss-Khan becoming thefirst world leader to state that the former IMF chief was a victim of a US conspiracy. 
  One of the United States top Congressman, and 2012 Presidential candidate, Ron Paul has long stated his belief that the US government has 
  lied about itsgoldreserves held at Fort Knox. And in 2010 put forward a bill force an audit of them, .The bill was defeated,but which was 
  subsequently defeated by Obama regime forces. 
  When directly asked by reporters if he believed there was nogoldin Fort Knox or the Federal Reserve, Congressman Paul gave the incredible 
  reply, I think it is a possibility. 
  Also interesting to note is that barely 3 days after the arrest of Strauss-Kahn, Congressman Paul made a new call for the US to sell 
  itsgoldreserves by stating, Given the high price it is now, and the tremendous debt problem we now have, by all means, sell at the peak. 
  Reports emanating from the US for years, however, suggest there is nogoldto sell. 
  New reports coming from the United States show his determination not to go down without a fight as he has hired what is described as a 
  crack team of former CIA spies, private investigators and media advisers to defend him. 
  Ob Monday Russias Central Bank yesterdayordered the interest rateraised from 0.25 to 3.5 percent and Putin ordered the export ban on 
  wheat and grain cropslifted by July lin a move designed to fill Russias coffers with money that normally would have flowed to the US.

  We continue to see further upside in financials.

  ° Erika Najarian, BAML financials research analyst, just returned from a marketing trip. Bottom line: North
  American investors are very bullish the banks (long only AND hedge funds AND macro funds), but then conclude “I don’t
  own enough”. Note that high touch flows have slowed down significantly since Thanksgiving and where the buying has
  been concentrated in XLF (every client sector we have has been a better buyer of XLF).

  e Client focus:

  1) Regulation: Excitement, with the base case that it’s not getting worse.

  2) Sentiment on rates: Cautiously bullish

  3) Sentiment on growth: Also bullish

  4) Sentiment on corporate tax rate cuts: buyside more bullish than sellside. In 1986, bank stocks exploded upward
  (outperforming the S&P) after Reagan’s tax reform bill passed the Senate; and 2) in 2003, the last time we saw personal
  tax cuts, loan growth industry wide accelerated in 2003 and 2004.

  ° Biggest Pushback on owning sector at current levels: Too far too fast: BKX +18.00% post election: Valuation
  coming into question and Q4 has typically been a seasonally weak qtr. Bulls defend valuation on ‘18ests with potential
  upside to 2018 EPS from ~25-40% and stocks still cheap vs. discretionary.

  ° Price action and sentiment keeps us constructive, we like the long and would expect US financials to benefit
  from any beta chase into year end.

  e How to play it? We still like “appearing” call spreads on XLF

  fe) Buy a 6 month 105% call with a short 110% call that knock in if XLF trades above 115% during the life of the
  trade for 1.75% premium cost

  7 Gross max payoff if knock-in is triggered: 2.8x (5.0%/1.75%)

  " Gross max payoff if knock-in is not triggered: 5.6x (9.9%/1.75%) — you have upside up to 114.9%

  What you suggest is very much the model that has been current in the behavioral sciences for many years. It has a record of colossal failure, and for good reasons, I think. It’s disproven, but keeps coming back, most recently with Big Data illusions.

  A child doesn’t grow arms and legs rather than wings, or a mammalian vs insect visual system, the way an ant searches for food. Rather, the path of development is sharply restricted (and evolution follows constraints too). Acquisition of language (and other cognitive achievements) seems very much like physical growth.

  Highly contentious in the field, but in my opinion that’s a comment on the failures of the field.

  The Fusion of Civilizations

  The Case for Global Optimism

  Foreign Affairs
  May/June 2016 issue
  By Kishore Mahbubani and Lawrence H. Summers

  The mood of much of the world is grim these days. Turmoil in the
  Middle
  East, causing hundreds of thousands of deaths and millions of refugees;
  random terrorist attacks across the globe; geopolitical tensions in eastern
  Europe and Asia; the end of the commodity supercycle; slowing growth in
  China; and economic stagnation in many countries-all have combined to
  feed a deep pessimism about the present and, worse, the future.

  Historians looking back on this age from the vantage point of later
  generations, however, are likely to be puzzled by the widespread
  contemporary feelings of gloom and doom. By most objective measures of
  human well-being, the past three decades have been the best in history.
  More and more people in more and more places are enjoying better lives

  Importance: High

  Caroline Kennedy Selling 93 Acres on Martha's Vineyard
  Caroline Kennedy, the only surviving child of the late President John F. Kennedy, listed for sale about 90 acres
  of land in Martha's Vineyard, a resort island off the Massachusetts coast.
  Two waterfront parcels in the town of Aquinnah are on the market -- a 39.5-acre (16-hectare) property available
  for $20 million, and a 53.5-acre piece for $25 million, according to the listings for 6 Red Gate Farm and 8 Red
  Gate Farm.
  "An exclusive waterfront property with incredible views of Squibnocket Pond, with further views over towering
  sand dunes to the Atlantic Ocean," the listing for 6 Red Gate Farm reads. "Plenty of privacy with varied
  topography and easy pond access. Yours to create a marvelous estate."
  The land is part of a 366-acre stretch that has been private since Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis bought it in 1978,
  said John O'Connell, broker and owner of Vineyard Realty Group in Edgartown, Massachusetts.
  The property is "a piece of the island that very few people have seen," said O'Connell, who isn't involved in the
  sale.
  Corporate records for Red Gate Farm LLC, which owns the land, lists Edwin A. Schlossberg as the person
  responsible for the parcels. He is the husband of Caroline Kennedy, who is expected to be Obama's choice as
  the next U.S. ambassador to Japan.

  Your office is a multi billion dollar responsibility. your children will inherit it , in order to oversee their financial lives- I feel for you, truly ,but the facts are the facts, your ceo ( Brad) has provided one bad document after another for over a year , no getting away from it,, bad cashflows nonewIT, each time with " its gettting better" no in fact -! itsnot. - the excuse, that Brad is not the numbers guy, is ludicrous. of course he didnt actually prepare the statements. - no ceo would ,- but over and over he presented them to you and me, after , holding them back for his personal review multiple times and after multiple drafts. weeks of his editing, the consistant but "inexplicable "missing the obvious serious errors .( gaming ) inaccuracies, ( cashflow ) and mistakes (tax returns). why, ?! the simple answer is that at best, he is a c minus, (note. I, like you ,also give points for effort. )-! an elegant art partnership gone fallow. ??!!I and its core reason to exist. not used ? no docs for plane?, still! why? no docs for decantings why? the docs for deal 1 received last night , "no docs at all for deal 2, the biggest ". why wasn't Tom brought in, after 4 times of my incessant reminders ispoke to him , he knows little of either transaction except for over view. never saw pahidon anything except projections until yesterday ? ?and this after your clear admonition etc. re the trading accounts no activity, at all,

  Barry Cohen is great. more like him please .
   you asked ,- I did my best trying to train your brad chosen people in the face of my telling you that they were never going to be more than c-minuses, thousands of emails thousands ? Brad at its head . you can't asa ceo, have an accountant give you multiple pages with the most important numbers missing altogether and not notice, you and IJ saw the errrors right away ,as did my very junior bookeeper after only a cursory glance. He told me he didnt know the details of his note? ! , my guess is that he wanted to pay less. no more than that, any other story is blather. its silly. Talk to richard yourself.
   re your estate. Yes another Brad issue - your will, needs revision. the tenants in common structure I assume Alan has carefully walked you through. it is way overdue, needed and exciting. I won't list the more serious issues in an email but we can speak over the weekend.

  How can Thelp? We agreed at the time when you hired Castrucci , that when you fired him, I would bear no responsibility because it was clear that he shouldnt be hired. brad and you both said ," its on us", but... the equivalent of your art consultant pointing to a picasso and calling itarenoir. then a brancusi and calling it a michaelangelo. those were the types of erros that i saw immediatily, you said give them more time. at least they saw it was a painting and not a photo?

  being weaned of our biz /pay realtionship has been our mutual goal. However since novemebr, you chose to do so by ignoring' our agreement re, phaidon,and your oft stated commitment to me of large payments for large value, (37 percent was our number ). chose to pay me a number picked by what appears to be only by whim,- have yet to justify it except for telling me that you and Brad Karp talked...

  What should we do? the next two years in biz world appears to both you and I, very fragile. Im happy to have brad sit in ?

  Office, - adagoes. ,hire heather a paralegal. Joslin goes or is closely managed by new cfo with tax experience. .castrucii goes asap.as he merely adds to mess.( too many people , ex 7 people or more to pay a bill ) eva goes. outsource as much as possible... bookkeeping systems built from scratch, airplane restructure, boat . same, new grats. phaidon sale , decide on artspace survivability, regan, . do the kids really want these? , children accounting ie bens house.etc. re do estate for new facts. redo loans, trading accounts activity, . gaming -foreign- disclosures. .

  The Washington Post

  In State of the Union

  address, Obama lays out
  his second-term agenda

  Editorial

  February 13, 2013 -- TWO DOMESTIC
  concerns towered above all others as
  President Obama addressed a joint session
  of Congress on Tuesday night on the state
  of the union. One was stubbornly slow
  economic growth. The other was the long-
  term threat to prosperity posed by the
  structural mismatch between the federal
  government’s projected revenue and its
  spending commitments. A successful
  second term for Mr. Obama will require
  both credible proposals for overcoming

  those related challenges and the

  determination to carry them through.

  The president addressed the deficit and
  debt first, and at some length. This was
  fitting, giving that the most pressing piece
  of business facing Washington is what to
  do about the impending $85 billion across-
  the-board spending cut. He was forthright

  We don’t teach children language either, contrary to many beliefs. The visual grammar just grows, and as is known, can develop in various ways depending on early experience. Same with the language grammar, though the period in which experience has a shaping effect is much longer.

  However, there are fundamental differences between vision and language. Can send you a recent paper about it if you like. Vision is an input system. Language isn’t. It’s an internal capacity, a system of knowledge, which is used to process input and also to produce thoughts (sometimes externalized). Seems also to be modality independent. And their properties look wholly different, so it’s hard to see how one could piggy-back on the other.

  Here we are -> record highs for the S&P 500, the S&P 400 Midcaps, and small cap Russell 2000. Should we be asking ourselves if
  this is the Terminal Phase or will this continue ?

  In these snippets here is a quick mark to market on where we are and some of the trades below. The theme of the trades below is very
  clear, carry outperformance and lower vol. Vol has broken down and we are on the leg down to 2009 levels (includes FX vol, rates
  vol, commodity vol etc) -> this has prompted additional risk taking and technicians for example are calling for 1775 levels in the S&P
  -> sharpe ratios of high carry trades looks very compelling here

  Mark to Market:

  With the US government reopened / debt ceiling raised, Obama stated -> there were “no winners.” It’s been only about 3 weeks, but
  the fourth quarter has already shown itself worthy of the history books. If the spec community can hold gains through year-end (the
  vol markets are alluding to) -> the ranks of billionaires will surely inflate further. No winners, right ?

  This week saw the S&P500, the S&P 400 Mid-Cap Index and the small cap Russell 2000 all trade to record highs. The week’s 2.8%
  advance increased the small caps’ year-to-date gain to 31.3%. Google added about 140 points and $38.5bn of market cap this week (to
  $338bn) to reach an all-time high (up 43% y-t-d). The more speculative “beta” stocks continue to outperform. The NASDAQ 100 (up
  3.7% this week), Morgan Stanley High Tech Index (up 2.6%) and The Interactive Week Internet Index (3.4%) all traded to the highest
  levels since 2000. Treasury, MBS, and corporate debt prices were higher as well. It all adds up.

  The QE-enhanced 2013 version of “how crazy do things get?” is outshining even the 1999 speculative melee, yeah!!. The (post-
  LTCM bailout) year 1999 saw the small cap Russell 2000 Index jump from 422 to 505 (19.7%). This year, it has already run from 849
  to 1,114 (up 31.3%). The S&P400 Midcap Index jumped from 392 to 445 in 1999 (13.5%). With more than two months to go, so far
  it’s 1,020 to 1,290 for the midcaps (up 26.5%).

  Why stop just at the US. Germany’s DAX equities index added 1.6% this week to a new all-time high (up 16.5% y-t-d). Italian stocks
  jumped 2.1% (up 18.4% y-t-d) and Spanish stocks surged 3.5% (up 22.5%), both to more than two-year highs. Australian stocks
  gained 1.7% (up 14.5% y-t-d). Despite major economic issues, India’s stock market jumped 1.7% this week to within a couple percent
  of new highs. Stocks jumped 4.2% in Brazil and 4.3% in Argentina. Indonesian stocks rallied 4.5%. Around the globe, most equities
  markets pushed higher. Fueled by huge ETF flows, total equity mutual fund inflows this past week jumped to a whopping $12.7bn.

  You may want to see this -> On a weekly basis, global central bank International Reserve Assets (data from Bloomberg). This data
  provide a decent proxy for global financial flows, especially to the emerging markets (EM). From $6.63 TN back in April of 2009
  International Reserves surged this week to a record $11.415 TN. Reserves have inflated 330% in ten years.

  Lets focus on some trades here:

  1) This environment is supportive for carry trades, which has been reflected in the outperformance of high yielders following the
  announcement of the US debt deal.

  Long AUD/USD: Longer term investors remain relatively short AUD, which suggests that AUDUSD strength has further to run. A

  Transaction complete !

  When we had our meeting in your home in Bedford. You asked me for my help. I told you multiple times that i thought it was a very bad idea, in that I preferred to have no financial interactions. I dont have many friends and didnt want money to interefer with our unique relationship. For five years you had the kind but goofy Eileen Alexandersson managing your accounting , legal, investments. reporting, trusts etc. When I told you in no uncertain terms that I firmly believed she was incompetent you admonished me for " speaking out of both sides of my mouth". With regard Brad Wechsler , there is no " both sides. ". I have consistantly maintained since day one that he was highly unsuited for the job. When you initially asked me to help convince him to take the role , promising him a postion to manage mirage investments I sent you a note saying instead you should pay up and get first class people. I have reiterated the same message for over a year now. . Brad , not me was tasked with hiring new people and as you wanted him to take ownership of the staff}he conducted many interviews. you may recall that as late as may, you told him in my presence that he had had six months and had not hired anyone. since then I have rectified errors in sales tax, use tax, income tax, fbar reporting, 1031 reporting, 8 million of deductions. ,( last nov ) 11 million found in dormant accounts and 4 million in the drawer. errors in cash flow both personal and Phaidon. Oversight on new grats first at 22 and then at 19 that were done without my consulatation were resolved only as aresult of my intervention. . 600 million in after tax savings was just accomplished.

  With Brad out of the office and unable to run his usual interference , the level of his total and utter incompetence was brought clearly , front and center. He may be a step up from Eileen, but, ifheis, then itis certainly not by much, A major difference is that Eileen knew she was over her head. Brad struts his stupiditly whenever he gets a chance. A critical example. - Though you and I have spent many many hours discussing the importance of care

  I appreciate the opportunity to respond to your email. I am currently on a plane until noon pacific time, and then heading to a meeting right after landing, till about 2 pm or so. While I am running the risk that you will report my comments, if you do, either out of context, or incompletely, I am responding with an effort to be complete, as I always try and do with reporters. If you decide to go ahead with a story, which, after reading my responses, I hope you decide is inappropriate, I would like you to quote my responses fully in order not to distort them. It is hard to know how to respond to a list of false and/or distorted allegations, along with misleading statements. I treat people I interact withwith respect, and I work hard to support and mentor students, colleagues, and members of the general public, and this is supported by the institutions of which I am a part. I do not sexually harass people. If the purpose of your reporting is to somehow argue that Universities and other institutions are lax in dealing with well known individuals like myself, then in fact the situation is quite the opposite. My high public profile opens me up to more scrutiny at these institutions, not less, and it also opens me up to a host of unfounded outside complaints and allegations that other faculty do not receive, each of which the University has to respond to. The fact that I have remained a professor in all Universities with which I have been associated, in good standing, and also an officer or an invited speaker at organizations like CFI, which have strict harassment policies, is a confirmation of the fact that their experience validates a trust in my behavior. I was asked to be an honorary director of CFI, and continue to be invited to their last 3 meetings to speak, specifically because, as they have written me after the fact, the attendees universally appreciated my talks, my courtesy, and graciousness in spending time with the attendees. If the purpose of your report is to impugn my integrity or suggest I have a history of harassment, that too is false. As noted in one of your 'miscellaneous facts', as a scientist I try and remain skeptical, and rely on empirical evidence, rather than allegations and innuendo by people whose motives I cannot judge. I also try and judge the facts in context. The fact that Universities and other organizations employ me or have me on their boards, or invite me to meetings is because they value my contributions and my actions. The items you list are false or distorted. Item 1 refers to a consensual encounter in my hotel room in 2006 where we mutually decided, in a polite discussion in fact, that taking it any further would not be appropriate, and there were respectful and platonic encounters afterwards. There is nothing to comment on in item 3, which involves an anonymous 3rd party claim because I know nothing about it, there are no details provided, and it clearly was not taken seriously enough to result in any university action. Item 4 is confusing. Are you saying that because I decided I didn't want to go out to a bar with a group of attendees that I was harassing them? The second part did not happen. Re incident 5: The 'female companion' in this case is my wife, who accompanied me on the cruise, and has attested to the fact that the claim is false. This is what I wrote at the time in response to the blog in question, causing it to be taken down. It is worth responding to Item 2 and 6 in more detail, Re item 2: the student in question was interested in science communication, and on dozens of occasions came to me, asked me to talk over coffee, or wrote to me with questions. When she asked about advice for after graduation I DID tell her she was different than the other students in her year. The rest of them were interested in going on to graduate school in physics, but she was interested in science communication so I told her that she might want to take a different path. Since she was the only woman in her year, as I recall, I did ask her on one of these occasions if that made it difficult for her in any way. I asked, because as a faculty member and department chair I was interested in knowing what we could do, if necessary to encourage more women to go into physics, and also because as someone she had asked for career advice from I wanted to know if that made a difference to her. Re asking her for dinner.. I have gone back over emails from that period. I have numerous requests from her asking me to go for coffee to talk, which I usually had to turn down because I was busy, and on several occasions she asked me to have coffee with her off campus to talk, and I politely declined. I did let her accompany me off campus one time to watch me do a BBC interview because she specifically requested it, and I believe she found it useful. I did and do have coffee and meals with students on campus, and I see nothing wrong with this. I try to treat students as respected colleagues if possible. I was shocked when I later learned of the complaint she was apparently asked to lodge to the University, not least because there was no inappropriate interaction but also because, well after the dates you listed on which she was apparently offended, she continued to email me with joking questions or comments. Also, at a later AAAS conference, again in 2008, for which she had asked, and for which I had written her a letter of recommendation to attend, my wife and I gave her a lift in our taxi well out out of our way in order to drop her off at her hotel, and I note in an email response to her email about the conference, again in 2008, I expressed that I would pass her regards along to my wife and vice versa. When the University later informed me of the complaint I was shocked and concerned. When I spoke to the human resources person, including relating my concerns and explaining the situation, I was told that no formal complaint of sexual harassment was requested. By that time I learned of the complaint I had already announced my intentions to leave Case to accept an offer at ASU—a very difficult decision for me because of my long-standing attachment to the University, the excellent relations I had with my colleagues there— both among the faculty (many of whom in physics I had hired while department chair)) and among the administration, along with a very attractive counter-offer by Case. Because I was already in Arizona at the later time I was asked not to have any further interaction with the student I agreed to that request, both to respect her sensitivities and also because it was basically moot because I was not on campus. Following this episode, as indicated in the letter to the student, I did assess what might have led to misinterpretations by this student, and became more careful in offering advice when talking to students. I was also told by human resources that because it was decided to handle this informally and not formally, that (a) it should remain confidential, which I, at least abided by, and (b) if no further complaints were lodged in that case, that the University would preserve its confidentiality and remove the complaint from my record after 5 years, which makes me surprised and concerned that someone violated that written agreement with you. Re item 6: You report on ASU's response to item #6 , without including the fact that the University specifically stated there were never any allegations of sexual misconduct or harassment by me at the University, and moreover that the 'outside complaints' were in fact related specifically to your item #6. Further you neglect to mention that this complaint was by an anonymous third party, not the individual who was allegedly harassed, who never lodged a complaint, and that no specific evidence was provided of the alleged transgression. I was surprised and dismayed that both ASU and ANU launched investigations on the basis of this but was told by both Universities that because of my high profile even such unsubstantiated third party complaints at private events unrelated to the University would be investigated. The complaint was investigated by both ASU and ANU and both came to the conclusion that it was not credible and no university policies had been violated. In addition ANU's investigation, which took a full month, found various inconsistencies in the allegation, which suggest distortion and fabrication, I will quote from the ANU report. The initial complaint, which in fact resulted in a temporary suspension of my position at ANU until it was dismissed, outlined the claim you made in the words you quoted in your note to me, but it also stated "It is the University's understanding that a complaint was lodged directly to the conference organisers at the time of the incident." After the month-long investigation, during which I was told I was not to interact with anyone on campus (again moot because I was a hemisphere removed) the final report, from which I quote below absolved me of any wrongdoing, reinstating my position, and indicated information inconsistent with the original claim and apparent later claims: "The allegations were made by an observer to the incident. - The complaint did not identify, nor disclose the identity of the conference attendee who was allegedly touched in an unwelcome manner. - The conference attendee who took the `selfie' photo did not lodge a formal complaint to the conference organisers at the time of the incident (November 2016). - The conference attendee who witnessed the incident, did not lodge a formal complaint to the conference organisers at the time of the incident (November 2016).-The photo submitted as part of the complaint does not provide evidence of any physical contact. - The complainant alleged that a photo exists, showing your hand on the breast of the conference attendee who took the `selfie' photo. This photo was not made available to the Australian National University, although it was requested in the course of the investigation." (And for the record I often put my hand up in front of a camera if there is a flash, as I specifically request selfies not to include flashes, so that I don't end up with a series bright spots in front of my eyes for the next half hour. Moreover, I have no idea if the other eyewitnesses you quote, who were not involved in any complaint, were in fact there but this was a formal banquet with individuals and their partners, which I attended long enough to agree to sign things and do selfies before leaving early because I was tired. Even if I had any such intent it would have been lunacy to pose for selfies in front of a group and openly do such a thing, including presumably in front of this person's partner, . Which, besides the fact that I don't do such things, is one of the many reasons it never happened.) What makes this particular type of allegation so repugnant is that I get asked for literally thousands of selfies, and when people come up to me they are vulnerable, often shaking, or sometimes aggressive. I am particularly proud of the way I work to make all people feel at ease, and respected, rather than humiliated, whatever their behavior or request. Thus, this false claim strikes at the heart of what I am about, which characterizes all my interactions with fans: to acknowledge them in a way that makes them feel appreciated and respected. As I understand you had a reporter watching me sign books and take selfies at the CFI conference in Las Vegas this year, that behavior is what they will have witnessed and should report on. Moreover, I am proud of the interactions I have had at both Case and ASU, with students, colleagues and staff of all genders and ethnicities. I have worked hard to support them, mentor them, and treat them with respect. I treat others as responsible adults, and I expect to be treated equally.

  Dr. Krauss: As you know, I'm a reporter for BuzzFeed News who has been investigating sexual misconduct allegations against you. As we've already discussed by email, I'd very much like to interview you about these allegations in detail. In particular, you stated in an email sent on Nov 13 that two universities had investigated an incident (# 6 below). You claimed that "both Universities independently concluded that the report was unsubstantiated and fabricated with malicious intent." We are not aware that either university concluded fabrication or malicious intent, so if you have evidence to support this assertion, we would like to see and discuss it. The story concerns your actions towards students while a professor of physics at Case Western Reserve University, as well as your conduct in non-academic settings as a prominent figure in the skeptics movement. I am reporting this story along with two of my colleagues on the science desk, Azeen Ghorayshi and Virginia Hughes. Our story is about several allegations of sexual misconduct dating from 2006 to 2016 (see full details below). Our reporting also goes into how the various institutions you have been affiliated with — Case Western, Arizona State University, the Australian National University, the New College of the Humanities, and the Center for Inquiry, for which you serve as an honorary member of the board of directors — have handled complaints and concerns about your behavior during this time. Our story is corroborated by emails, university documents, official complaints, testimony from victims and eyewitnesses, and interviews with more than two dozen of your current and former academic colleagues, students, and peers in the skeptics movement. I wanted to offer you the opportunity to comment and/or respond to the main facts we plan to publish. If you wish to comment on any of the below findings, we need to hear from you as soon as possible. We are planning on publishing our story Tuesday morning, Eastern US Time. Again, if you wish to comment on or clarify any of these points, please get in touch with us as soon as possible. If I do not respond immediately it is because I am on another call, so please leave the best phone number to reach you. Thanks, Peter Aldhous Peter Aldhous, PhD Science reporter BuzzFeed News

  Warning: The Smart Money

  Is Fleeing U.S. Stocks

  BY BILL BONNER, CHAIRMAN, BONNER & PARTNERS

  Sa Se Oe

  DUBLIN — The Dow dropped 180 points yesterday — or

  about 1%.

  And another clever billionaire says he is looking elsewhere

  for profits. Reuters:

  Activist investor Carl Icahn on Monday said there was a chance the stock
  market could suffer a big decline, saying valuations are rich and earnings at
  many companies are fueled more by low borrowing costs than management's

  efforts to boost results.

  "Iam very cautious on equities today. This market could easily have a big

  drop," Icahn said.

  Yes, dear reader, the smart money is getting out of U.S. stocks. And here’s our

  old friend Rob Marstrand explaining why:

  Right now, every measure that analyzes the S&P 500 says it’s expensive. Prices

  are high relative to earnings, net assets, sales, and cash flow.

  They're Not Really Out to Get You

  By EDWARD JAY EPSTEIN

  Dec. 18, 2015, wall Street Journal

  1

  Conspiracy, a word derived from the Latin “to breathe together,” has been a salient part of the darker
  side of recorded history ever since some 60 conspirators in the Roman senate, including Brutus and
  Cassius, plotted together to assassinate Julius Caesar in 44 B.C. Nowadays the “c” word does not always
  sit well with journalists, who commonly employ it in conjunction with “theory” to describe paranoid
  distortions of reality.

  Even so, a criminal conspiracy is not a rare phenomenon. Not only was a foreign conspiracy responsible
  for the monstrous 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center (as well as the previous attempt to blow it up in
  1993) but, according to the Center on Law and Security at Fordham University, over 90% of routine federal
  indictments for terrorist attacks since 9/11 contain at least one conspiracy charge. The government’s
  pursuit of conspiracies is by no means limited to terrorism. Conspiracy charges are the rule rather than
  the exception in cases brought against businessmen accused of fixing prices, evading environmental
  regulations, using insider information or laundering money.

  But there are also pseudo-conspiracies that exist only in a delusionary or misinformed mind. And some of
  them achieve a huge following. In Pakistan, according to public opinion polls, a majority of the
  population believes that the 9/11 attack was staged by President George W. Bush to launch a war on Islam.
  The claim that the 1969 moon landing was faked is still around. Just two days ago a crew from a Russian
  Tv channel rushed to my apartment to interview me about a viral post on YouTube in which the deceased
  director Stanley Kubrick supposedly made a deathbed confession to having filmed the landing in a
  Hollywood studio-even though everything about the post, including a fake Kubrick, was untrue.

  why people believe in pseudo-conspiracies is the focus of Rob Brotherton’s fascinating book “Suspicious
  Minds.” Mr. Brotherton, an academic psychologist, advances the thesis that the belief in pseudo-
  conspiracies proceeds from the “quirks and foibles” in the way that the human brain, or at least some
  human brains, process evidence. He lucidly reviews studies showing common defects in the brain’s wiring,
  such as the bias that selects evidence to confirm rather than undermine a pre-adopted thesis. “we seek
  what we expect to find,” as Mr. Brotherton puts it. Relatedly, “biased assimilation” causes us to
  “interpret ambiguous events in light of what we already believe.”

  Discussing Richard Hofstadter’s 1964 essay “The Paranoid Style in American Politics,” Mr. Brotherton
  accepts Hofstadter’s characterization of proponents of politically motivated conspiracy theories as
  “paranoid” and suffering from “a psychic phenomenon” that prevents them from seeing the absurdity of
  their position. But he disagrees with Hofstadter that this condition affects only a small number of
  people on the fringes of society. For Mr. Brotherton, “conspiracy theories thrive in the mainstream.”
  Until the controversy over the validity of warren Commission’s 1966 report on the Kennedy assassination,
  the phrase “conspiracy theory” had a more neutral meaning, suggesting a plausible yet unproven claim
  about multiple actors in a single event. Only in the aftermath of the Warren Commission did it become a
  derogatory term used to suggest theories that subvert conventional wisdom. To those who doubted the
  commission’s finding that a single gunman killed Kennedy, Earl Warren became, Mr. Brotherton’s says, the
  “figurehead in a vast cover-up.”

  It is not easy to find an objective criterion that distinguishes the inquiry into a real conspiracy from
  one that chases a pseudo-conspiracy. Both types rely are the eyewitnesses, documents and forensic
  evidence. The best that Mr. Brotherton can offer on this score is to cite Stewart Potter’s famous comment
  on pornography: “I know it when I see it.” In the context of suspicious minds, though, one person might
  see a plausible case for a conspiracy and another only outlandish connections. The distinction is in the
  mind of the beholder.

  Mr. Brotherton offers a sample list of conspiracy theories, including ones alleging that Abraham Lincoln
  was assassinated on the orders of his vice president; that the moon landing was faked; that Area 51 in
  New Mexico is home to extra-terrestrial technology under government auspices; that President Obama is “a
  communist Muslim from Kenya.” Such theories are meant to show that suspicious minds leap to absurd

  conclusions. These are chosen because there is no evidence to support them.

  The picture changes, however, if we consider, for example, the theory claiming that Lincoln’s assassin,
  John wilkes Booth was part of a larger conspiracy backed by the Confederacy. On April 14, 1865, at about
  the same time that Booth shot Lincoln, one of his associates stabbed Secretary of State william Seward
  and another stalked Vice President Andrew Johnson with a loaded gun. The military commission appointed by
  President Johnson, after hearing 371 witnesses testify and after examining Confederate bank transfers and
  cipher communications, concluded that the three attacks were part of a conspiracy sponsored by the
  Confederacy and convicted eight of Booth’s associates, four of whom were hanged. Here we have a
  conspiracy theory proceeding not from crackpots but from a government commission backed by the new
  president and most members of Lincoln’s cabinet.

  Turkey coup bid: Fethullah Gulen's lawyers
  fear attack on his life

  e 25 minutes ago

  Lawyers for US-based Turkish cleric Fethullah Gulen say they fear an attack on his life, in the wake of the failed coup
  attempt on 15 July in Turkey.

  Turkey has issued an arrest warrant for Mr Gulen, accusing him of orchestrating the coup attempt. It has called on the US to
  extradite him.

  Mr Gulen denies any involvement.

  Turkey has cracked down heavily in the wake of the coup attempt. On Friday the governing AK Party ordered an internal purge
  of Gulen supporters.

  More than 270 people died in events surrounding the coup attempt.

  In your answers to ROGS, you list Milton Center for girls as facility that Jane Doe attended. Milton Center is a Department of Juvenile Justice facility; therefore I will need to get her records from DJJ. DJJ will not release the records without a signed release by Jane Doe. I have attached a general HIPPA release for your review. Would you please have Jane Doe sign it? DJJ does not have a standard form.

  Also, will you agree to one more week on Responses to Net Wirth ROGS??

  Please let me know.

  Hi Jeff, 
  I realize the last term sheet was a draft, my fault (my computer sync'd the draft with the same name). 
  Here is a correct version, the last page is the signature page. It would be great if I could get this back 
  tomorrow. Nothing is due until the recap is complete, hopefully in about 4 weeks. I am planning to start those 
  discussions the end of next week. 
  Things are going well. The more I learn the more excited I get. I will be at Tarana tomorrow 
  discussing a window mount version to try to get to self-install. lgbps in a self-install package would be the last 
  step. 
  We will only need a tower ever 4-5km in the city, which is basically 2 or 3 rooftops for all of Boston. 
  I met with American Tower today (I know their CEO and CTO) and they have plenty of room on the John 
  Hancock. 
  Fun Stuff and great to be doing something together! 
  Greg

  Bookstore owner calls police after customer 
  confronted Steve Bannon 
  By Morgan Gstalteduly 07, 2018 - 10:38 PM EDT 
  A Richmond, Va., bookstore owner said he called the police on Saturday after former White 
  House chief strategist Stephen Bannon was confronted in his store. 
  Nick Cooke, owner of Black Swan Books, told the Richmond Times-Dispatch that a woman 
  called Bannon a "piece of trash." 
  The woman then left the store after Cooke said he called 911. 
  "Steve Bannon was simply standing, looking at books, minding his own business. I asked 
  her to leave, and she wouldn't. And I said, 'I'm going to call the police if you don't,' and I 
  went to call the police and she left," Cooke said. "And that's the end of the story." 
  Bannon grew up in Richmond, the newspaper noted. 
  The Richmond Police Department confirmed the call was made but the call was canceled 
  before officers responded. 
  "We are a bookshop. Bookshops are all about ideas and tolerating different opinions and not 
  about verbally assaulting somebody, which is what was happening," Cooke said.

  Bannon joins a growing list of political figures associated with President Trump who have 
  been confronted in public in recent weeks. 
  Protesters in Kentucky followed Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) to his 
  car while he was leaving a Louisville restaurant on Saturday, threatening to vote him out of 
  office.  
  Others, including White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Department of 
  Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, also have been confronted by protesters for 
  their association with the Trump administration and its policies.

  David Woo (BAML head of FX, Rates and EM Strategy, very highly regarded across our client base) is back from meetings in DC with senior policymakers.

  Bottom line: sees market pullback over the next 6-8 weeks on near term policy disappointment and recommends buying protection such as S&P puts — very cheap and market is priced for perfection right now.

  May 15" expiry 100%/90% SPX put spread costs 1.7% (6:1 gross max payout)

  David Woo takeaways
  ° #1 focus these days is tax reform - if they don't get it done by Jan 2018, it won't happen at all, and then Republicans would be out of a job when midterm elections come
  ° ACA has to be completed first — and it was a mistake to tackle this before tax reform. Obamacare difficult with only 52 seats in the Senate but Ryan has gone too far to back away from ACA and refocus on tax reform as a priority. McConnell’s ACA target is mid- “Apri and then they can start to focus on tax reform 2H April at the earliest.

  itior e next 6-8 weeks on bad heellines, data rollover (consumer confidence)

  ° Still hse term bullish

  e 95% tax reform still happens this year (2H17 or Jan 2018) because Republicans know it has to happen this year or they are sitting ducks in 2018 and potentially unelectable for 6 years

  ° Predicts no progress on tax reform over the next 6 weeks and then Republicans rally together to get behind a new plan and get it done (enter Woo’s VAT proposal) — with market messy in the meantime

  ° Trump is obsessed with the stock market — when he sees it trade lower, he will act

  ° Regarding valuation adjustment tax (VAT) vs. border adjustment tax, Woo favors a 5% VAT over BAT

  3) Why there is a <10% chance current proposal of BAT will get passed

  / Paul Ryan/Keven Brandy’s proposal implies USD will appreciate +25%. Ryan is telling retailers this will happen

  but this is completely unrealistic and has serious consequences. Why this cannot happen:

  ° $20tn in non-USD assets owned by US households - $5tn hit on country’s balance sheet
  ° EM has ~S4tn in USD-denominated debt — increase of $1tn in EM debt and hurts US investors ultimately
  e ~30% corporate profits are overseas (S400bn — so $100bn hit to EPS) — even exporters get hit —

  counterproductive

  ° Commodity prices are in USD — hits purchasing power of rest of world in commodities — would see oil in the mid-
  $30s — hits Russia, Brazil, even Exxon

  e 60% of central bank reserves are in USD — this would go above 70% - would foreign CBs want to hold this much when the US economy is 25% of global GDP? Yields would need to increase

  3) BAT could get hung up with WTO (3-4 years.) Under BAT, wages are deductible (imported goods taxed as a share of total value but domestic goods taxed on only profits) — trade partners like Canada, Japan would take this to the WTO and we would wait 4 years for a verdict

  fe) 5% VAT is WTO compliant and has several benefits
  7 VAT levels playing field for US imported vs exported goods (no longer see BMW’s cheaper in the US than Germany)

  In recent weeks, prosecutors with the Justice Department’s public integrity section — which examines possible
  political and government corruption — have sought documents related to Broidy’s business dealings.

  Among the information sought by investigators are details about Broidy’s work on behalf of and interactions
  with the Chinese and Malaysian officials, according to two people familiar with the document requests.

  As part of their efforts, prosecutors have subpoenaed casino magnate Steve Wynn, the former RNC finance
  chairman and longtime Trump friend, for copies of records and communications related to Broidy.

  An attorney for Wynn, Reid Weingarten, declined to comment, saying only that Wynn is cooperating with the
  Justice Department.

  “Steve Wynn is completely cooperating with the investigation and he certainly has no reason to believe that
  anyone acted improperly in anything he knew about or was involved in,” Weingarten said in a statement.

  Dear Jeffrey (and please see note at bottom),

  This end-of-the-year letter is to catch you up on developments and to report progress made in 2016 by Poetry in America, by its associated non-profit production company, Verse Video Education, and by (and with) our new Harvard partner, the Derek Bok Center for Teaching and Learning. Whether you are a longstanding adviser and supporter of Poetry in America, or you’ve more recently joined our circle of proponents, your contributions, thought partnership and enthusiasm have made this year’s successes possible.

  Last fall, I knew this would be a crucial year. Goals for 2016 included moving our co-produced television series, Poetry in America, toward a concrete release date (now entering post-production, we launch nationwide in April 2018), converting our six HarvardX MOOC modules into for-credit courses (now complete and being offered by Harvard’s Division of Continuing Education), and getting the word out on our first course developed especially for K-12 educators, Poetry in America for Teachers: The City from Whitman to Hip Hop. With a mission of creating and distributing the highest-quality humanities content for a wide variety of learners, our projects now rely on a salaried production staff of five, a rotating corps of part timers and contractors, and a growing cohort of Harvard graduate students, undergraduates and interns whom we train in the public-facing humanities. Growing fast, in 2016 we more firmly established Verse Video Education as a nimble and stable producer of humanities-based content (now including an archive of over 120 separate interviews with distinguished discussants), while also defining a forward-looking partnership and growth strategy with Harvard. As 2016 draws to a close, I have much progress to report.

  Verse Video Education: Independent 501c3

  In April 2016, Verse Video Education, the fledgling production company I'd founded in 2014, received IRS approval and became a 501c3. Now capable of accepting philanthropic contributions, Verse Video Education has also begun to generate revenue by producing high-quality educational media for other institutions. Clients within our first year included Greenwich Country Day School, YIVO Institute for Jewish Research, Schlesinger Library, Harvard Institute for Global Health, and Project Zero. While philanthropic donations remain essential, work for clients allows us to amplify the impact of philanthropic donations, not only permitting additional investment in our flagship partnerships with WGBH and Harvard, but also fostering development of new partnerships and projects. These include a video series on poetry and science now running with award-winning magazine Nautilus, a collaboration with distinguished poet Robert Pinsky and his Favorite Poem Project, and an expansion of our poetry film series with partners at The Nantucket Project. Advised by a stellar and diversely talented board, Verse Video Education is looking toward sustainability. We are now discussing distribution of new content with a variety of stakeholders, including media providers in China.

  Last Remaining Tickets: Mark Zuckerberg On Trial – Will He Be Held Accountable?

  Mark Zuckerberg on Trial:
  Facebook is Damaging Society

  TUESDAY 18TH JUNE, 7PM
  EMMANUEL CENTRE
  Featuring Damian Collins, Nina Schick, Torricke-Barton, Ed Vaizey, Helen Lewis

  BUY TICKETS

  Zuck sucks. According to his critics, Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, presides over a company which is undermining our basic freedoms. It was complicit in the spread of fake news and foreign interference in our elections, and is partly to blame for the rise of political polarisation through its echo chambers and filter bubbles. The company has been selling the private data of millions of users around the world to select companies – most notoriously Cambridge Analytica, who used the information to meddle in the US presidential elections and Britain's EU referendum. And Facebook was accused of behaving like 'digital gangsters' by the House of Commons Digital Select Committee, led by Damian Collins MP, who claimed Zuckerberg has willfully misled lawmakers over fake news and data malpractice. Facebook is built on an essentially unethical business model, and the buck stops with Zuck.

  That's the case against Mark Zuckerberg. But let's keep things in perspective, say his defenders. Facebook has done more than any other organisation in the world to connect people through technology, allowing more than 2.2 billion users so far – that's 30 percent of the world's population – to share their lives with friends and family around the world – all for free. And let's not forget that Facebook has been a vital tool for social and political organisation, from the Arab Spring to Obama's presidential campaign. The world is a complex and messy place and while it's convenient to scapegoat a single CEO for our polarised politics, the fact is there were multiple causes for Brexit and Trump. Of course, there are problems at Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg is keenly aware of them. In January 2018, he made a promise to fix Facebook, admitting that the organisation makes too many errors and listing his priorities as 'protecting our community from abuse and hate, defending against interference by nation states, or making sure that time spent on Facebook is time well spent'. Much of what we are reading about Facebook is old news. Zuckerberg is essentially an idealist and we should at least give him the benefit of the doubt as he seeks to rebuild the world's trust in Facebook.

  That's the argument of Zuckerberg's defenders. But are they right? Join us on June 18, hear the arguments and decide for yourself.

  A federal jury decided Thursday that one of the Middle East’s most prominent banks did not commit fraud and
  steal technology from an Irvine firm that sued it for half a billion dollars in damages after their partnership
  collapsed.

  Orange County company InfoSpan had alleged that Emirates NBD ended a partnership for a mobile payment
  system because it didn’t want to share revenue and stole InfoSpan’s technology to launch its own service.

  The Dubai-based bank, in turn, denied it stole or ever used InfoSpan’s technology. It argued that it cancelled the
  partnership because InfoSpan couldn’t produce a working product and misled it into thinking it was an
  established company, not one with little to no track record.

  After deliberating for a day, the jury unanimously decided that InfoSpan did not prove its case of fraud and theft
  of trade secrets.

  InfoSpan had asked for $540 million in damages. An attorney for InfoSpan declined to comment on the
  possibility of an appeal.

  The verdict capped a two-week trial that involved dueling accusations of fraud levied by high-profile attorneys
  on both sides, including the former White House counsel to President Obama.

  At the center of the high-stakes battle was San Juan Capistrano resident and entrepreneur Farooq Bajwa and a
  mobile payment system that he said would allow migrant workers in the Middle East to send remittances back
  home through text messages.

  Bajwa contended that InfoSpan, with support from outside investors, spent $87 million developing the business
  and technology.

  To launch the system, known as SpanCash, Bajwa partnered in 2007 with Emirates Bank, which is controlled
  by the United Arab Emirates’ sovereign wealth fund.

  It seemed the ideal collaboration for the Pakistani immigrant, who earned millions operating another Irvine
  company that manufactured computer components in the 1980s and 1990s

  The Gulf States rely heavily on migrants to work construction and other low-wage jobs, offering a ready-made
  market for SpanCash. InfoSpan aimed to allow migrants to transfer money back home far more cheaply than
  Western Union or hawala, a traditional Middle Eastern broker-to-broker money transfer system.

  A study from McKinsey & Co., cited in court records, projected annual revenue of $3.5 billion by the deal’s
  fifth year, with InfoSpan receiving more than $2.8 billion in fees.

  But the relationship between InfoSpan and Emirates Bank soured and the bank cancelled the deal in 2009.

  A few days later, Emirates filed a criminal complaint in Dubai against Bajwa and a partner alleging that they
  defrauded the bank and misrepresented InfoSpan as an established business with a working technology.

  Two years later, InfoSpan sued in U.S. District Court in Santa Ana and alleged that its technology was working
  and that it delivered its source code to the bank on servers. Emirates ended the deal, InfoSpan said, to launch its
  own mobile payment system after stealing InfoSpan’s technology.

  In court, an attorney for InfoSpan argued that Emirates torpedoed the InfoSpan relationship because it abhorred
  how much money it would have to share with the Irvine firm.

  Alex Acosta update

  Earlier this week, pedophile Jeffrey Epstein bought his way out of a lawsuit that would
  have given some of his victims the opportunity to testify about his predatory and criminal
  conduct. Victims never got that opportunity when Epstein faced criminal charges, because
  Alex Acosta — then the lead prosecutor, now the Secretary of Labor — let Epstein off with
  a ridiculously lenient sentence. Despite having committed hideous sex offenses with dozens
  of minors, Epstein received a sentence of 13 months in jail, during which he was often free
  during the day.

  Epstein’s decision to buy his out of the civil lawsuit, one that he had the nerve to initiate,
  benefits Acosta. The trial would have provided non-stop headlines, coupled with frequent
  references to the sweetheart deal Acosta gave him. As Randy Schultz puts it, the trial would
  have been the occasion for a long overdue public shaming of Acosta. Now, he avoids this
  consequence.

  But this doesn’t mean Acosta is out of the woods. He faces calls for his ouster from the
  Trump cabinet.

  Some calls are from the usual suspects. Michelle Goldberg of the New York Times has
  written a piece so obnoxious that it almost makes me want to see Acosta ride out the storm.

  But some conservatives are also advocating Acosta’s departure. Concerned Women for
  America 1s a stalwart conservative organization. It describes itself, accurately, as “focus[ed]"

  Thank you for your response. My initial questions are fairly general I believe.

  Was Former Pres Clinton ever a guest on the island?
  Was George Mitchell a guest?
  Would any of the guests get massages from the girls brought by Mr. Epstein or Ms. Maxwell?
  Do you remember
  What was her interaction with Ms. Maxwell?
  How many massages would Mr. Epstein get per day? I understand that the massages happened in a location where, based on the article I read, Ghislaine instructed you to never go while in use. But I am curious knowing - were the massages done by the various young girls brought to the island? Did they appear to be massage therapists? I think I know that answer based again on the previous article I read.
  Were you aware of Ghislaine flying a helicopter? Flying girls to the island? Flying guests to the island?
  What did you understand Ghislaine's role to be? How did she describe herself or act while there? If she was the "queen bee" girlfriend, then what was her explanation of the presence of the other younger girls? And what interaction did Ghislaine have with those girls? It is our understanding that one of her primarily "jobs" was to find the girls to bring to Mr. Epstein but we do not yet have a firm understand where she found them or what interaction she personally had with each of them while on the island. I was hoping you could provide some clarity based on things you heard or observations you made.

  Again, thank you for any clarification you can provide. I am interested in the facts, including any inaccuracies that have been reported in the past which may have given us a misunderstanding of anything.

  Sincerely,
  Brad

  Dear Miles and Kathy Alexander,

  I, along with several other attorneys, represent_____________________ She needs your help and we are hoping for your assistance. She doesn't need much. In fact, all she needs are some good, honest people who are willing to just tell the truth. That seems like a simple request that any compassionate person would accommodate; however, for some reason many people have instead decided to stay out of it and allow to continue to suffer. A small number of good people have stood up for what is right and told the truth. We do not currently know where you stand but we know that you have helpful information and are hopeful that you will cooperate in sharing that information with us.

  I have investigated various related aspects of this unfortunate story for 8 years now. is one of numerous clients I have represented in related matters. And only wants one thing - for the truth to be known and for her story to protect others. She was a teenager when she was recruited to travel with Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein. After 2 years she escaped that life and lived in hoping to forget what she had been through. After Mr. Epstein was arrested for doing similar things to other girls that he had done to her, decided to speak out about what really had transpired while traveling with Maxwell and Epstein, including events that occurred on Little St. James.

  She remembers you and your wife fondly. We read the interview you gave a few years back. There can be no doubt that we absolutely appreciate the probably unwanted media attention that your previous interview drew. We are not at all looking for a second round of that. We are not the media. We do not need any public interview. We are not concerned with anything other than the facts, from your own observations or what you heard while working on the island. We just want to speak with you.

  came back to the United States to help others similarly victimized. Specifically, she started a non-profit charity to help sex abuse victims. She very bravely told her story with the goal of starting a new life helping others. Unfortunately, Ms. Maxwell told the world that was lying, which has thus far had the impact of destroying 's charity. We are in litigation with Ms. Maxwell where we have to prove something that should be very simple - that is in fact telling the truth in her story of being recruited by Ms. Maxwell to travel and "work" for Mr. Epstein. We know she is being truthful. We also know that there are numerous witnesses who also know she is. But many of the witnesses still work for Mr. Epstein or cannot be located.

  - as well as any others similarly situated - deserves the truth. And that is all we are trying to capture for her. We promise not to let anyone in the media know we are talking to you. We are not looking to drag you into anything. We are not looking for anything at all more than the truth, and Virginia has told us that of all the people who worked for Mr. Epstein you were the most likely to help.

  I hope this email finds you well. I apologize for emailing you at an address that appears to be a work address. It is all I had. If there is a time when you would be so kind as to talk with me, I would be most grateful. You can email me. Call me. Set up a time for me to call you. Whatever is most convenient for you. Thank you for anything you are able to do.

  Sincerely,
  Brad Edwards

  pass her regards along to my wife and vice versa. When the University informed me of the complaint | was shocked and

  concerned. When | spoke to the human resources person, including relating my concerns and providing the emails in question, | was
  told that no formal complaint of sexual harassment was deemed to be warranted in this case, and that the young woman in question
  had agreed to that. By that time | learned of the complaint | had already announced my intentions to leave Case to accept an offer at
  ASU—a very difficult decision for me because of my long-standing attachment to the University, and the excellent relations | had with
  my colleagues there, both among the faculty and among the administration. Because | was already in Arizona at the time | was asked
  not to have any further interaction with the student | agreed to that request because it was basically moot. | was also told that
  because it was being handled informally, that (a) it should remain confidential, which |, at least abided by, and (b) if no further
  complaints were lodged in that case, that the University would remove the allegation from my record after 5 years, which makes me
  surprised that someone violated that written agreement with you.

  Re item 6: You report on ASU’s response to item #6 , without including the fact that the University specifically stated there were never
  any allegations of sexual misconduct or harassment by me at the University, and the outside complaints were in fact related
  specifically to your item #6. Further you neglect to mention that this complaint was by an anonymous third party, not the individual
  who was allegedly harassed, who never lodged a complain, and that no specific evidence was provided of the alleged transgression. |
  was surprised and dismayed that both ASU and ANU launched investigations on the basis of this but was told by both Universities that
  because of my high profile even such unsubstantiated third party complaints at private events unrelated to the University would be
  investigated. The complaint was investigated throughly by both ASU and ANU and both came to the conclusion that it was not
  credible and no university policies had been violated. . In addition ANU’s investigation, which took a full month found significant
  inconsistencies in the allegation, suggesting distortion and fabrication, | will quote from the ANU report. The initial complaint, which in
  fact resulted in a temporary suspension by ANU outlined the claim you made in the words you quoted in your note to me, along with
  the statement made in the complaint that

  "It is the University’s understanding that a complaint was lodged directly to the conference organisers at the time of the incident."

  After the investigation, the final report absolved me of any wrongdoing, and indicated information inconsistent with the original claim
  and apparent later claims as follows:

  “The allegations were made by an observer to the incident.

  - The complaint did not identify, nor disclose the identity of the conference attendee who was allegedly touched in

  an unwelcome manner.

  - The conference attendee who took the ‘selfie’ photo did not lodge a formal complaint to the conference organisers
  at the time of the incident (November 2016).

  - The conference attendee who witnessed the incident, did not lodge a formal complaint to the conference organisers
  at the time of the incident (November 2016).

  The photo submitted as part of the complaint does not provide evidence of any physical contact.

  - The complainant alleged that a photo exists, showing your hand on the breast of the conference attendee who took
  the ‘selfie’ photo. This photo was not made available to the Australian National University, although it was requested
  in the course of the investigation.”

  (And for the record | often put my hand up in front of a camera if there is a flash, as | specifically request selfies not to include flashes,
  so that | don’t end up with a series bright spots in front of my eyes for the next half hour)

  What makes this particular type of allegation so repugnant is that | get asked for literally thousands of selfies, and when people come
  up to me they are vulnerable, often shaking, and sometimes overly aggressive. | am particularly proud of the way | attempt to make all
  people feel at ease, and respected, rather than humiliated. Thus, this false claim strikes at the heart of what | am about, which is to
  acknowledge fans in a way that makes them feel appreciated. As | understand you had a reporter watching me sign books and take
  selfies at the CFl conference in Las Vegas this year, that behavior is what they will have witnessed. Moreover, | am proud of the
  interactions | have had at both Case and ASU, with students, colleagues and staff. | have had numerous female graduate students,
  postdocs, employees, and colleagues, and as ASU attested to you, none of these have ever complained of harassment. Quite the
  contrary in fact, as | have worked hard to support them, mentor them, and treat them with respect. | treat others as responsible adults,
  and | expect to be treated equally.

  `Blahblahs' forbidden in 'Radical Breakthroughs'. So we need two replacements (for Multiverse as Science and Rare Sentience).
  Initial ideas:
  * Expand the first episode "Mathematics and Truth" into two or likely three episodes. I'm intrigued by this because there is so much rich material - pure math, philosophy (discovered or invented), physics (Wigner's 'unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics in the natural sciences)', astrophysics, cosmology, biology, general systems theory. I've felt frustrated in this first episode because there is so much material. I think three episodes could work - if you agree, I'll get back to you with a suggested structure of the 2 or likely 3 parts. Also, Closer To Truth has had only a few videos and one episode on mathematics per se (out of 277 episodes!), so this would be original and complementary. In this may, math would become about half the series.
  * Integrated Information Theory - quantifying and explaining consciousness (Giulio Tononi, Un of Wisconsin-Madison), plus supporters and critics. New controversial, science-based radical theory.
  * Evolutionary Dynamics - your program at Harvard - mathematical models. This is not an area of my expertise, but it could well fit Closer To Truth in general and Radical Breakthroughs in particular. But you need to tell me if you would like to include this.
  * Replicability Crisis - Problems in Statistics in Search for Truth. Deep problems of replicability in biomedical and especially psychological research - the scandal in recent years. See links and attachments.

  "Replicability vs. Reproducibility" - http://www.replicability.tau.ac.il/index.php/replicability-in-science/replicability-vs-reproducibility.html
  Five Ways to Fix Statistics - Nature [attached].
  * Other possibile areas you suggest
  We would like to set a mutually agreed schedule so we can confirm and reserve the Closer To Truth 'season' of 13 episodes for 'Radical Breakthroughs', which we need to plan well in advance - especially as we begin 2018.
  See you Jan. 5 - Looking forward to brainstorming.

  -What is he chiefly focusing on now? Is he spending more time on The Jeffrey Epstein Science Foundation? Could he talk about his

  -How has his business been affected? Is there any new direction he's taking it? Does he still have the same clients or new ones? Is it
  still at $15 billion?

  -Did he still work while in prison? How was that arranged? With whom was he working/advising?

  -Where is he spending his time now? How has his social life changed from three years ago?

  -Is he still close with Ghislaine Maxwell? Someone said she lives with him (but that doesn't sound right)?

  -What were friends/colleagues/acquaintances reactions to his conviction?

  -What does he think about the sentence he got- was it too lenient or too harsh and why?

  -What is his side of the story and have people been supportive?

  -Is he continuing the charity initiatives he started with Bill Clinton, etc?

  APNewsBreak: Mueller team questions Trump friend Tom Barrack
  Associated Press

  Tom LoBianco

  WASHINGTON (AP) — The Associated Press has learned that investigators working with special counsel Robert Mueller
  have interviewed Tom Barrack, a close friend and confidant of President Donald Trump.

  Three people familiar with the probe tell the AP that Barrack met with federal investigators working on the Russia inquiry.
  The people spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss private deliberations.

  Barrack’s spokeswoman, Lisa Baker, declined to comment.

  Barrack has known Trump for decades. He’s been one of Trump’s closest advisers through the 2016 campaign and into the
  administration. Barrack also is a leading fundraiser for the president and oversaw the fundraising for the inauguration.

  Barrack has a longstanding relationship with Trump’s former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, and Manafort’s onetime
  deputy, Rick Gates.

  Gates agreed to begin cooperating with Mueller’s investigators in February.

  re your comment on predicting Trump, there is HL Mencken's famous phrase:

  "It is IMPOSSIBLE to underestimate the intelligence of the American people."

  and then from Richard Hofstadter's 1964 book on Ant-intellectualism in American Life:
  "There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has

  been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that
  democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."

  Only thing stupefying me about Trump so far is that all his EPA appointees come from the great wasteland called
  Oklahoma—lInhofe et al, climate change deniers to the last, but climate change is inescapable and by going back to
  our old way of doing things, it will merely come all the quicker

  Eye on the Market, April 9, 2012 (attached pdf is easier to read this week)

  Topics: Q&A on the USA, with a watchful eye on the risk of giant man-eating plants; Spain

  Our view for 2012 was that economic and equity market conditions in the US and Asia ex-Japan would be better than in Europe.  So far, that view is on track.  Spain in particular is in difficult shape (see page 5); its banks and government may have to borrow 1.5 trillion Euros over the next 12 months while in recession.  Both the ECB and EU will need to keep the spigot open to prevent Spain from becoming a bigger problem.  This week, some Q&A on the US recovery, flows into bonds and stocks, profits and P/E multiples, municipal bonds, and the long-term US fiscal situation. 

  The Fed appears to be saying that no additional monetary easing is needed unless the economy worsens further.  Are there any signs that the US recovery is becoming self-reinforcing?

  Durable goods consumption, equipment & software spending, vehicle sales, bank loans to companies, manufacturing payrolls (even after Friday’s disappointing report) and housing stats (building permits, multifamily housing starts) have improved over the last few months.  While delinquency rates are in better shape (credit card delinquencies are back to 2007 levels), household credit growth is still weak.  However, homebuilders are seeing stronger demand, and nationwide remodeling continues to rise.  We see opportunities in retailing and building products companies that may benefit from a continuation in these trends.

  Has the data really been that good?  I heard better US economic data has a lot to do with the weather.

  Parts of the US experienced the warmest March in recorded history.  Measured from December to February, the winter was the 4th warmest on record.  I don’t think there are reliable models to estimate the impact of demand being pulled forward, so we will have to see how consumer spending, housing and payrolls behave in the months ahead.  As our Chief Economist Michael Vaknin reminds me, other distortions come from the “catch-up” effect from Japan’s tsunami.  As shown below, some strength in auto sales came from pent-up demand for Japanese cars, a process which now seems complete.

  So where does that leave the US payroll and growth picture?

  The weakness in the payroll report was almost entirely concentrated in retailing.  Net of distortions and seasonal adjustments, it looks like payroll growth is running at 150-175k per month, and GDP growth is running at a 2.25% trend pace, both below prior recoveries.  While 2.25% is a barn-burner compared to Europe, it only corresponds to a modest improvement in employment.  That’s why 2013 US fiscal policy is so important: this is not a recovery that can withstand much tighter fiscal conditions.

  So, how tight is US fiscal policy supposed to get next year?

  Very, if you look at what is supposed to happen according to current law. In the chart, we show the annual change in the budget deficit over the last 25 years.  The impact of all provisions scheduled to expire and kick in during 2013 would be very large.  But if Congress and the President elect to extend current tax rates, retain lower payroll tax rates and extended jobless benefits, etc, the adjustment would not be as big, and only reflect expiration of Recovery Act provisions, the recently passed Budget Control Act, and some other smaller provisions.  There are of course plenty of permutations in between.

  What direction is the Congress heading, and what did Larry Summers and Brad DeLong have to say about this recently?

  Political outcomes this fall will affect what Congress does, but I get the sense that they will punt fiscal adjustments into the future if they can, and impose austerity of no more than 1% of GDP in 2013.   If so, Congress can point to a March 2012 paper by Summers and DeLong as justification.  The bottom line from the paper: don’t tighten fiscal policy when interest rates are near zero.  The authors assert that (a) additional government spending can ease the long-term budget constraint in conditions similar to today’s, and (b) tightening policy now would risk permanent loss of human capital, lower labor productivity growth and lower trend growth.  They have held these views for a while; the paper appears designed to convince others.

  Advocates for more fiscal and monetary stimulus often point to the charts below.  Rising Federal debt has not resulted in higher interest rates, so why not keep borrowing more?  As for the Fed, balance sheet expansion prevented deflation and hasn’t resulted in an inflationary surge (core inflation measured over 3 months just came in below 2%), so why not keep doing it?   Aren’t these charts amazing?

  They are amazing, but no one knows how long they can be sustained.  Even Summers and DeLong concede that “even if it is granted that the stimulus can be both timely and temporary, the question of how large it can be while preserving these attributes remains for future research”.    If one of these trends could not be sustained, my guess is that it would be fiscal constraints rather than monetary ones.  While it’s great to see rising Federal debt not adversely affecting Treasury markets, the chart on the left reminds me of The Day of the Triffids.

  What is The Day of the Triffids?

  It’s a 1951 science fiction novel.  There’s a meteor shower, and most people go outside to look at it.  The next morning, everyone who looked at the meteor shower ends up blind, and Earth is taken over by giant man-eating venomous plants.  The point: some amazing events which look benign have unforeseen consequences.  Will a pact of going for growth pay the freight of higher Federal debt in the long run?  Hard to say; there are not a lot of examples to draw from.  Economic theories and their associated debt bubbles don’t always work out as planned [a].  After WWII, the US also faced a debt ratio of 80% of GDP.  Austerity was not the answer back then; government receipts and outlays as a % of GDP did not change much during the 1950’s, and net debt was flat.  So how did US debt/GDP fall from 80% to 46% in just ten years?  Robust annualized real growth of more than 4.0%, and 2.0% inflation.  However, unique economic conditions and productivity gains of the 1950’s (e.g., interstate highway, rebuilding of Europe and Japan) may not be repeated, and the country was not headed into an entitlement time bomb.  If the US does not experience a growth/productivity boom, the burden of higher debt could last for a generation or more. A pro-growth Administration would probably help, but the difficulty lay in defining exactly what that means. 

  Are there debt vs austerity parallels at the state and local level?

  Yes and no.  At the state and local level, over last decade, more than 1 trillion in unfunded pension and healthcare (OPEB) related liabilities were recognized (they were accrued over a longer period).  Even these “as-reported” estimates, which come from the states, may be underestimated.  A 2011 analysis by the Joint Economic Committee shows that lower portfolio return assumptions on pension assets sharply increase the magnitude of underfunded pensions (see chart, right).

  However, there’s more of an effort at the state/local level to address this issue than at the Federal level.  More than 40 states lowered pension benefit liabilities over the last 3 years according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Measures taken include raising employee contributions (while lowering employer payments), raising minimum retirement ages, cutting post-employment healthcare benefits and in some cases, switching to defined contribution from defined benefit plans.

  The good news, to paraphrase Mark Twain, is that reports of municipal bonds’ demise have been greatly exaggerated.  From 1970 through to the end of 2011, municipal bonds rated by Moody’s experienced a grand total of 71 defaults among 17,700 issuers (11 of which occurred during 2010 and 2011).  General obligation bonds accounted for 5 defaults; 29 were related to housing; 22 for hospitals and healthcare; 3-4 each for education and infrastructure.  Utilities and cities registered 2 each, while counties, special districts, and water & sewer and experienced 1 each.  The average recovery for defaulted munis was 65%, compared to 49% on corporate senior unsecured bonds.  Last comment on municipals: while local tax collections are weak due to the collapse in home prices, state tax collections have been increasing for 7 quarters in a row.

  OK, so the US economy is improving, but is still heavily dependent on monetary and fiscal stimulus to grow; and the only belt-tightening one can find is at the state and local level.   Since 2009, after equities collapsed and bond prices rose, how have many investors reacted?

  By selling more equities and buying a lot more bonds.  See chart above (a global version of this chart looks roughly the same).    

  Have investors been positioning this way since stocks are expensive?

  Not really.  Insert a giant martini glass on the chart below from 1998 to 2001 (I hate using simple averages which include periods when the market had lost its collective mind).  The current P/E multiple is in the middle of the ex-bubble range of the last 25 years.  Some bank stocks look interesting, even after accounting for reliance on shrinking loan loss reserves to drive income, and ongoing regulatory uncertainty.  Most US banks are at or close to Basel 3 funding needs, have considerably fewer capital adequacy questions than their European counterparts, and do not rely on wholesale funding to finance loan portfolios.

  Now that P/E multiples have risen off the bottom, what’s the outlook for P/E multiples and earnings from here?

  The return on the S&P this year has been a function of P/E multiples rising (from 11.3x to 12.9x), a big part of which has been Apple (3% of the S&P index, 15% of S&P’s YTD returns).  As shown below, earnings revisions have been negative for 2012, but analysts are still optimistic about 2013.   According to Morgan Stanley, analysts are forecasting the highest percentage of companies posting 2013 margin expansion since 1970, and by a very wide margin.   In our view, it will be difficult for multiples to rise further unless earnings outperform expectations, particularly if Europe’s structural problems take center stage again. 

  The place that worries me the most: Spain.  It ranks at or close to the bottom in a lot of categories (see table), and its growth outlook is poor.  Historically, this kind of thing has not ended well.  Spain has defaulted 13 times since 1500 AD; it’s probably going to take a lot of bilateral aid and ECB financing to prevent another one.

  [a] Example: here’s a link to a 2007 article by Austan Goolsbee, former Chairman of the Council of Economic advisors and a member of the Obama Cabinet.  Goolsbee praises the benefits of subprime lending and related affordable housing policies, mocks Congress for holding hearings on the subject and cites Federal Reserve papers in saying that the “mortgage market has become more perfect, not more irresponsible”.

  Denis McDhimmi
  White House National Security Adviser Speaks to Hamas-Linked Group

  Bill Siegel

  On March 6, in anticipation of Congressional hearings on domestic radicalization, Deputy National Security Adviser
  Denis McDonough stated the following:

  “President Obama recognizes that through our words and deeds we can either play into al Qaeda’s narrative and
  messaging or we can challenge it and thereby undermine it. We’re determined to undermine it. For example, we
  know there are many different reasons why individuals—from many different faiths—succumb to terrorist
  ideologies. And there is no one easy profile of a terrorist. But based on extensive investigations, research and
  profiles of the violent extremists we’ve captured or arrested, and who falsely claim to be fighting in the name of
  Islam, we know that they all share one thing—they all believe that the United States is somehow at war with
  Islam, and that this justifies violence against Americans. So we are actively and aggressively undermining that
  ideology. We’re exposing the lie that America and Islam are somehow in conflict. That is why President Obama
  has stated time and again that the United States is not and never will be at war with Islam.”

  This statement encapsulates so much of what this writer has identified as the “Control Factor:” that function of
  our minds which will distort our perceptions so as not to present ourselves with the ever so fearful reality that
  confronts us under the banner of Islam today. That is, rather than to clearly see, focus upon, and set about to
  create strategies to properly confront the threat which we currently face- a threat that by definition we do not
  control and see little way over which to regain control- our minds essentially collude to reconstruct in a manner
  which deludes us with the sense that we are in control.

  1. The statement essentially reduces the threat we face to that of terrorism caused by al-Qaeda. By defining and
  limiting the threat to a band of “radical extremists” who have distorted the doctrine of a great religion, we buy
  into the sense that our military might and criminal detection methods will ultimately save the day. The fantasy is
  that this is a problem that we can get our arms around because under our Constitutional principles, terrorism is a
  violation that we are permitted to fight against.

  Dear Packer Families, 
  Like many of you, I am writing this message on very little sleep. Last night was like no other in our 
  political memory, defying the predictions of the most erudite pundits and political 
  prognosticators. 
  Today, we are spending a great deal of time unpacking the election results with our students 
  across the three divisions — during morning meeting and throughout the day in Lower School 
  classrooms, in Middle School advisories, during Upper School Community time, as well as in 
  many individual classroom conversations. I write to assure you that we will do our best to handle 
  these discussions with balance, sensitivity, and fairness. 
  Given that last week's mock election among Packer's Upper School students showed that over 
  8o% favored Secretary Clinton, I don't think it's a huge leap to assume that there was more 
  disappointment than joy in Packer households as results unfolded last night. At the same time, 
  there are certainly Packer families who support Mr. Trump and are pleased with this outcome. As 
  a school community, we have an obligation to recognize that there will be a broad array of feelings 
  generated by the election results, and it is our responsibility as a school to make space for these 
  feelings to be expressed thoughtfully and compassionately, as well as to model the tolerance and 
  acceptance of difference that are among our core values. No doubt, we have our work cut out for 
  us, but I am confident in the good that we can do as a community. 
  There are abundant lessons to be learned from this election: that experts can be wrong; that our 
  country is even more deeply divided than many of us had thought; and that abundant numbers of 
  our fellow Americans feel a deep sense of despair and disaffection with the status quo of 
  government. For us here at school, we will use this as an opportunity to talk with your children in 
  age-appropriate ways about demographics, the economy, social policy, our democratic system, 
  and the rule of law. We will also talk about the world's response to yesterday's election results, our 
  individual responsibilities as citizens to continue to give voice to our beliefs, and appropriate 
  channels of political activism. On a more basic level, we will stress the importance of not being a 
  gloating winner or a sore loser, and about the strength of our nation, its history of responding to 
  dramatic political change, and the hopefulness of the future. 
  As for you, our families, I offer two resources. Last week at a NYSAIS heads-of-school conference 
  that I attended, the University of Pennsylvania educator Ali Michael spoke about advancing our 
  national dialogue about race. This morning Dr. Michael wrote a Huffington Post piece, "What Do  
  We Tell the Children?", a moving yet direct reminder of how we, as adults, can model our 
  responses for the young people around us. Next Wednesday, November 16, from 6:3o to 8 
  p.m., Semeka Smith-Williams and the PA Diversity Committee are holding a "Post-
  Election Healing" evening here at Packer. 
  Please reach out if you have questions, suggestions, or simply would like to share your thoughts, 
  and take good care.

  Don't know which was better-- the wholly unexpected surprise reminder (by a prime minister) of my
  boyfriend from 1976( who was in high school, who lived with his doting parents), or , getting creamed on
  my producer's budget but then offered the opportunity to profess poetry for production funds . There may be
  someone as good in New York, but i'll never tell you and you really have a heck of a seminar table there .
  When do we do Whitman's "Song of Myself" 1-15 Who else is reading with us? I'm ready .

  A few other follow ups :

  David and Brigid point out that reality tv doesn't cost anything because it is, as it sounds, very low budget .
  No writing , no special expertise or knowledge or research , no archival footage , no copyright clearance , no
  actors , no travel beyond the one location , certainly no clinton or woody allen or justice elena kagan or
  david brooks or Lena Dunham or even Professor New. That said , I think If were hiring the crew id do it for
  less -- probably 1, 250,000 all in . But I haven't won 10 Emmys and David has . That has value too. As does
  Webh . But I'll be more prepared for the next conversation and want to be much more prepared for
  templeton, so thank you .

  T really liked Michael. I would like to send him some stuff , but in googling him I noticed that we have the

  Hi Jeff,

  Thanks again for making the time for me last time you were in town. And for your introductions to Brockman
  and Ehud. I have enjoyed all the conversations and been learning a lot. Hopefully, a book or two will come out

  of it eventually as well. Means a lot to me.

  Martin mentioned that you are thinking about the top questions in various fields and suggested I might think of
  some of my own and pass them on to you.

  In case you are interested, I list below the five biggest questions that keep me up at night, motivate my life's
  work, and which I think ought to keep up every social scientist. Happy to discuss with you, if and when you are

  interested.

  -Moshe

  1) Where do our moral and political views come from?

  The bull shit answers most people accept clearly don't fit the facts; we are not discovering moral truths through
  reason, and our political views are not motivated by a desire to achieve the best policy outcomes. So what does
  drive these beliefs? And what causes them to have the weird puzzling features they do (e.g., why is a lie of
  commission so much worse than a lie of omission)? And what causes them to change over time (e.g., slavery
  has been accepted as moral at many points in history)? And differ across cultures (e.g., ISIS versus the U.S.)?
  And across person and context (e.g., Trump vs. Bernie supporters)?

  More generally, we believe and argue all sorts of crap (your vote can make a difference, Jesus loves you, all
  men are created equal). How do these beliefs and arguments work? Are they just random ideas propagated by
  an amorphous culture, viruses taking advantage of our own psychology for their benefit, ideas that get us to do
  the bidding of their cynical designers?

  2) Similarly, where do our tastes come from? Like the art we like? Or the music?

  Some tastes are kinda obvious. E.g., we evolved to like young curvy women because they are the most fertile.
  And maybe we like art that reminds us of this or of landscapes that are safe or what not. But there are many
  aspects of art and music (e.g. modern art, rap) that are not universally pleasing. So what makes people like these
  things? What properties do they need to succeed? What role does the artist or the history of the piece play in
  what we like? Of course, this question isn't just about art and music, but about all of our peculiar, culturally
  specific tastes. How does culture shape our tastes? Is it completely arbitrary or is there some logic to its
  influence?

  3) Where do our political and economic institutions come from and what causes them to have the peculiar
  structure they have?

  January 2018
  Estate Planning After the Enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
  On December 22, 2017, President Trump signed the "Tax Cuts and Jobs Act" into law. The new legislation represents a compromise between House and Senate Republicans on their respective tax overhaul proposals, and is the most significant tax reform legislation to be enacted in over thirty years. Although the inherent complexities of the new legislation, combined with the whirlwind pace of its passage, poses many questions for analysts and tax practitioners alike as they begin to navigate the new tax system, we do have an understanding of what the new law will mean for high net worth individuals interested in advancing their estate planning goals.
  Most of the provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Act") became effective on January 1st, and will sunset (or default to prior law) after December 31, 2025, absent further congressional action. In addition to extensive income tax related changes, including modifications to the individual and corporate income tax rates, doubling of the standard income tax deduction, capping of the state and local tax deduction, elimination of the personal income tax exemption, increase in the exemption for the alternative minimum tax, and decrease in the mortgage interest deduction, the Act temporarily doubles the federal estate, generation-skipping transfer ("GST") and gift tax exemption amounts, thereby offering high net worth families enhanced planning opportunities.

  on the returns. a cashflow that is misleading helped prepare financial statements ( april ) Oversight on new
  grats- first at 22 and then at 19 that were done without my consultation and were "resolved" soley as a result
  of my last minute intervention. . 600 million in after tax savings was just accomplished. (BTW- for some
  reason you left the 30 million outstanding that I had said should only be done" if” that was my additional

  fee. and not used for non biz purposes and not art.

  Sorry but .,

  in June and then again Sept, we both agreed to a 50% of phaidon payout first projected at 20 . but less when
  artspace and debt taken out, - then only after weeks, when you delayed any detailed discussion of money
  wanting to give the issue a thoughtful response ( which I fully understand ) . you unilaterally changed our
  agreement.. 5m would be reserved for the future ? . and out of the remaining 15m ,? 1 would receive only a
  third. (note: I'm confident that both the debt , and the art space investment will also lead to a write- off of
  another 30 m. plus ) In my dining room ,you were surprised when I said that i require most people to pay
  their advisory fee up front so that I am assured that I will be properly compensated for my work when
  strategies are implemented . you may recall that you appeared offended and said " are you suggesting that 1
  would go back on my word " I said no , of course not ! you are my closest of friends ,but my experience is
  that when amounts get large, people tend to get unhappy when it actually comes time for them to pay.

  I include below the email i sent to you on April 15, the day i was examining your returns It laid out my
  understanding of the compensation agreed for a transaction of the magnitude to the penny of the one just
  completed.ic 600m When it appeared that the transcation would and could go foward I was the first to point
  out that our agreement would cost you too much money, therefore

  more details

  From day one I proposed to discount our agreement toa 50-60 million range. An extremely fair price for
  all the transactions just completed . including Phaidon. - I was never told that this was out of range. in
  fact, alternative methods of payment .ie my plane, or an -in-kind payment were discussed (

  ie including keeping the 30m portion of the fee outstanding till March ) ,I provided , only because you
  specifically requested a detailed step by step execution plan and reviewed all documents that 1 was given
  access to. ( Phaidon was never forthcoming ) in order to make my many corrections . ( as i said more needed
  on phaidon ). Iwas then told that Alans involvement warranted a discount. Even in the best of light ,
  though it is beyond question that not one time in the three years of his retainer has he ever proposed a
  unique idea. (including any way to deal with the use issue on debras death ,or even the most basic review of
  your largest asset by far , the BRH agreement. ) O.K. - lets say he made a contribution to the plan and stretch
  reality beyond the pale and say it was 50 %. though no one could posit such a large amount unless they were
  wearing a clown suit. , the payment and our formula of 37 percent associated with the deal was known . It
  had both sent in writing and spoken about on the phone numerous times , a detailed execution plan was
  provided . then and only then, after the entire transaction was laid out for the group to follow You told

  me that after a number of conversations with brad karp that a total of only 20m would be paid , (and even that
  was more than you originally contemplated ) for both transactions . Leon I feel It was remarkably unfair. Did
  brad even knew of our prior agreements.? ?, I would ask that you I and Brad karp sit together if you think it
  would be helpful. . I would like to send him this email, with your consent of course. Ifthe transactions were
  never consummated , i would not be owed a dime, however , the expected fee was known up front. , the
  detailed step by step plan was followed and overseen by me, the amount that I had requested before the
  transaction had even begun, had already been heavily discounted, out of friendship, . I believe the decision re
  only paying 20m has frankly , left me felling quite uneasy. and colors the view about the Athene or
  Rothschild transaction.

  you've agreed that

  This is the program David Marr initiated, developed by Shimon Ullman and others. Makes sense, and there are some interesting results. David was a friend, and we often discussed these topics. In fact, his famous three levels adapted a model from generative grammar. But there was always the fundamental problem I mentioned. Vision is an input system, crafting coherent images from lines, points of light, etc. Language is used for that purpose too, but it’s not what language is.

  That fundamental difference, along with the fact that the principles involved seem quite different, has always been a stumbling block to seeking any link.

  Very interesting topics. Would like to hear more from you about them, when we have a chance. Is it worldwide, or
  mostly here?

  My impression is that the fear is mostly in the US. There’s nothing in (much more vulnerable) Europe comparable to the
  Visa Waiver program (insanely targeting Iran, which has not been involved in terrorism, while exempting Saudi Arabia,
  the source of almost all jihadi terrorism). Or Trump-style ban them all. Or Cruz-style carpet-bomb them. For a long
  time, probably back to colonial days, this has been a very frightened country, maybe the safest in the world but also the
  most frightened. Impressions.

  Sometimes it’s quite weird. By accident, I took the first flight PanAm 103 after the Lockerbie bombing, together with an
  old friend, a veteran Middle East correspondent. It must have been the safest flight in human history. The plane was
  empty. We were bumped up to first class because there was no one there.

  Jeffrey-

  I need to start off by stating that it is not my intent to go around Shawn Lancaster on this — Shawn is a friend.
  This being said, I have received e-mails from both you and Larry this weekend.
  I called Larry and he said I should send you an e-mail.

  I called a close friend of mine inquiring about the GV market and aircraft that are “not published”. As of today, there are
  eight (8) of these aircraft that are not yet on the market.

  Let me know if you would like to speak with him and by what means (you call him, he call you, call Larry?....whatever).

  By the way, his company sold Trumps 727 and got Trump a very attractive number for an aircraft that was on it’s way to
  a museum.

  Hope all is well.

  fean Lue,

  lam really sorry you feel so bad and { know it has been a mental and psychological frustration. As you
  know | chose to partner with you due to your reputation in the business for being a top scout and
  developing a couple world class agencies in the past. | knew what you could bring and | knew what |
  could bring and contribute and | thought it would be a great partnership. Clearly, | never expected to
  have the level of challenges we have had recruiting new models over the last several years. | could have
  never foreseen the problem of your friendship with Jeffrey Epstein turning into the situation it has
  where you are seen as guilty by association when you have never done anything or even been convicted
  ofacrime. Frankly, | don’t understand the necessity for Conchita Sarnoff or anyone else to continue to
  defame your name and MC? by asscciation.

  It is true that we constantly have to justify ourselves when recruiting new models. The industry is
  extremely competitive and as a parent myself if faced by the same information and having to make a
  tough decision between too agencies | would not pick MC2 if | saw the article online about you. You
  have to read closely to see there is not a charge against you but the implication is strong and of course
  now days everyone believes everything they read online even more than the traditional newspapers of
  the past.

  | know you are now feeling like a liability to MC2. But you personally are not a liability to MC2 but this
  published information online is a liability. We are not a large enough company, nor do we have the
  capacity to fight this on a global level. On a google search in America we have put enough information
  online to not have it popping up so blatantly but we have no controls over the rest of the world or the
  finances to control this situation and we are affected as every major model agency recruits it’s best
  models from all the various countries abroad. This has stunted our growth and our billing over the past
  6 or 7 years. In fact, we do not even know who avoids us based on finding this information. | have been
  surprised how challenging it is for us to grow due to this problem.

  | have also had a tremendous amount of worries from our clients that we are vendors for that are large
  American corporations likes Kohls, JC Penney, Sears, Nordstrom, Target, Neiman Marcus, Macys, Saks,
  Belk, and so forth that require vendor agreements and for us to be considered an upstanding
  company. It really worries me as some of those companies have disassociated themselves from what

  SUBJECT; GINGRICH VIEW OF TRUMP

  Understanding Donald Trump The Washington Times January 8, 2016 by Newt Gingrich

  Donald Trump is a genuine phenomenon. He may or may not become the Republican nominee for president. He may or may not win the presidency even if he becomes the nominee. Yet it is clear that he is a phenomenon and that any history of the 2016 presidential race will have to spend a good bit of time analyzing Trump and his impact.

  From the time he announced on June 16, Trump has dominated social and mainstream media. He dominates the conversation despite the lack of paid advertising. Trump says outrageous things and his supporters shrug it off. At every turn, his poll numbers continue to rise.

  As a step toward understanding this amazing performance, I spent part of the Christmas break reading his first bestseller, ‘The Art of the Deal’. Written in 1987, this book is a classic among American business books and has influenced a generation of entrepreneurs. Trump wrote ‘The Art of the Deal’ when he was 41 years old and having a successful run. The book’s popularity contributed to Time Magazine’s decision to feature Donald Trump on its cover in January 1989.

  The portrait that emerges from this easy-to-read and remarkably interesting book is of an aggressive, ambitious person who is constantly pushing, constantly learning, and always seeking the next challenge. Reporters and analysts who are trying to understand Trump would be well served by slowing down and reading this nearly three-decade-old bestseller.

  I couldn't agree more. Re ridicule. I never suggest ridiculing people. However by pointing out the inconsistency,
  or contravening evidence associated with various ideas, including for example American exceptionalism, then
  we are essentially subjecting ideas to ridicule. That is what I meant.

  Thanks for sending. A wide area of agreement, but not total.

  On confronting dogma, I of course agree — though in my opinion the secular religions — nationalist fanaticism, etc. — are
  much more dangerous. And if some find rational discussion offensive — as, for example, mainstream academics find
  dismantling myths of "American exceptionalism" or "Israeli self-defense" or Obama's mass murder campaign, etc.,
  offensive — so be it.

  But I don't see why that should extend to ridicule. That includes astrologists. Astronomers can refute astrology, while
  recognizing that perfectly honest and deluded people may believe it and should be treated with respect, while their
  beliefs are confronted with evidence. I also don't see why we should ridicule religious dogma, just as I don't think we
  should ridicule the much more pernicious secular dogmas. Rather, we should respond to irrational belief with argument
  and evidence, while recognizing that their advocates (like most of the intellectual world in the case of secular dogma)
  are people who we should be responding to but without ridiculing them. It may be hard sometimes. For example, when
  the icon and founding father of sober non-sentimental Realism in International Affairs informs us that the US, unlike
  other countries, has a "transcendental purpose," and the fact that it constantly acts in contradiction to its purpose
  doesn't matter because the facts are just "abuse of history" while real history is "the evidence of history as our minds
  reflect it," then it's hard to avoid ridicule. But we should. There's no point ridiculing virtually the entire IR profession
  and the major journals, even though such extraordinary irrationality leads to major human disasters.

  On Davis, I frankly think that's a non-issue. If she decides she cannot do her job as the conditions of employment
  require (including following the law), then she can quit and look for another job. As in any other such case.

  Noam

  Director Tribute will be given to Sofia Coppola, with the Cinematographer Tribute going to Ed Lachman. With the 
  Industry Tribute, we will be honoring Jason Blum, founder of Blumhouse Productions. And we simply couldn't be more 
  pleased to honor Vice President Al Gore with this year's special Humanitarian Tribute. With nominees this year 
  ranging from Willem Dafoe, Adam Sandler and Robert Pattison to Margot Robbie, Lois Smith and Mary J. Blige, this

  Thanks Darren
  Good news!
  I'm under the impression that checks will be exceptional (they are more cumbersome to handle), and we will use mostly wires.
  Considering the time difference, my heavy travel and my own propension to do things at night and on week-ends I would much prefer having an internet code and be able to organize everything online when I need to.
  When I use Interaudi (my US bank), they can do that, store the recurring beneficiaries, and do wires in multiple currencies, but I am not familiar with DB.
  Of course, you could also have the same access and help me when needed.
  Also, your point about bookkeeping is mitigated by the fact that, in any case, I will also need to have someone keeping track of the receipts and inventory, before shipping proofs to you. In any case there will be need for some work on my side before final filing is done.
  On the other hand, if there is a "checks and balances" control issue, there could be a cap to my wiring powers (like the 10 K we discussed), that would be absolutely fine for me if this is the intent.
  Please do let me know.
  We can also talk about it (in Hawai now, free after 2 PM your time)
  In any case, this is good and happy news. I'll review the first list of payments over the week-end.

  ahead today than my nov memo layed out = no real candidates. etc .. Ill redo the art partnership under new restrictions of course at no charge, and review the work done by tom/ joslin.

  joslin you and I should sit. you won't like it. AT ALL> he is afraid of telling you the story, as he belives brad is your guy and does not want to get fired. ada still refusing to share income tax opinions based on privilege , not under control at all. ? ? joslin said that murphy is not the cfo, as you told me but the coo. and the cfo is the same guy that reported to andrew, mistakes after mistakes not picked up by murphy who joslin described as a kind buffoon . he suggested a new ceo or coo who can make decisions. someone with some financail experience. he asked for a chief decision maker. 50 for year roll in money owed . 30 till july , most up front needed

  Nov of 13 : I told youtom Eileen and Ralph were not up to the job, you disagreed very vocally and strongly , " Ralph wrote the book, Tom has been doing it for 15 years and Eileen ran the trading desk at Morgan Stanley. " Ada who had been working on all your documents for years while at the bank had been brought in- house but created more issues that didn't exist. and phaidon was its own animal

  Dec 13. you were again annoyed that i said that they needed to be replaced and said "1 was talking out of both sides of my mouth." first time ( email available)

  Jan 14, you decided that no third year was necessary for my help. andi told you i thought that unwise and even suggested giving you an option at 40 m so there would be no tension

  Mar 14, I told you that to do the job right , my team would need to do it. not yours it would not be inexpensive, but it would get done properly, you chose not to do itand said lets wait and see

  April 14. We agreed to clean up various past mess.with the end of my work OCT 15th only then would i get paid.. urged JPM ( first of 14 reminders) GS and db accounts to be set up in order to bring your financial structure into the 21 century

  July 26 , I came to bens party, said new people needed to be hired, keep Eileen till end of year, and Ada till march, you suggested getting ada out earlier

  oct structured the art partnership , but you wanted to wait until you fully understood ramifications formed the doc in dec to have it in 14,

  nov/ dec 14 I told you I considered my work complete separate from art partnership. gave list of things to do.

  three months of you and your high school friend , trying to build a house with little of the relenavt experience. its silly . still no accurate numbers accounting , charts, etc

  jan 15, I told you joslin cannot hire people, has not so for more than 5 years, former job in a public accounting firm.

  april 15 . no senior accountant even in the wings. joslin talking about reaching out to hire the only person he knew( worked in the past with dagazsitno ) and i interviewed 15 months ago. and rejected.

  Dear Jeffrey, 

  Larry has told me that you and a friend would like to contribute to my project (hallelujah and thank you a million times, Jeffrey) and that I ought to write up a proposal asking for 500,000. This is wonderful. If this comes to pass, the best way for that money to come, I think, is as a gift to Poetry in America, an initiative at EdLabs at Harvard University. This will give me discretion over its disbursement to HarvardX and WGBH, but this will be absolutely be a Harvard gift that will count as Campaign success and from which Harvard will take some (but not as much)overhead. . So far the best finance people I've met are at EdLabs and they are happy to manage these funds for me. There are other ways to give me this money that leave Harvard out, but my understanding is that your friend would like this to be a Harvard gift. 

  Here's a draft of what I'd like to do with that money. 

  I'd like 500,000 to do post-production and distribution of a whole historical period of American poetry (1914-1945 is what I'm thinking—Modernism) and including three episodes of tv. 

  The raw materials for that period include interviews with Bill Clinton (including footage not yet used by WGBH), Peter Gallison, Walter Isaacson, Lena Dunham, Woody Allen (whose lawyers didn't like our release a while ago, but we're hoping will soften over time), Harrison Ford (still a maybe), Robert Polito, Sarah Kay, Al Filreis, Rafael Campo, Susan Howe, kids from Nantucket High School, kids from Brookline High School, Alfre Woodard, Jane Pickering, Jay Parini, Ray Dalio, Leon Wieseltier, Richard Dawkins and others; and footage shot in Harlem, Greenwich Village, midtown, Chicago, London (if I have the money to hire a crew there; don't now ), at museums including the Fogg, Harvard Museum of Natural History, Frost's house in Ripton Vermont and more. 

  This allows the donor to give to a big Harvard Campaign priority, Teaching and Learning , by supporting Poetry in America, allowing me to produce the crucial segment of the online course with the highest (TV quality) production values and so also supplying higher quality video to WGBH as a way also to cut their costs. 

  Currently, HarvardX skimps (on lighting, for instance--see the Bill Clinton interview) and while WGBH ladles money raised by others into everything. I have been pounding away at my friends at WGBH and I know that WGBH producer will work with HarvardX if they can give him footage of the right quality. . That is, we'll use HarvardX as the backlot for WGBH so as to squeeze three episodes out for 250. 

  This proposal does not include experiments in schools or the curricular development into courses for teachers that you've seen in other (million dollar ) proposals. But the courses for teachers can't happen before the footage is developed, and these courses will have as their centerpiece the WGBH episodes, and so this funding will make all the rest possible. 

  I can polish this narrative and or edit it, if there are things you think I have wrong. 

  And I can attach a draft budget based on real Harvard numbers (what my Harvard video editor, producer, media manager cost) as well as a draft WGBH budget I'll now go an negotiate with them. Or we can do that at a second stage. 

  Let me know what you think? And when are we reading Whitman together. Why don't we set a date for Feb when Poetry in America 3: Whitman is running online and we could screen a little video and then have a discussion around your table with you and some friends?

  Lisa

  Thanks for sending. A wide area of agreement, but not total.

  On confronting dogma, I of course agree — though in my opinion the secular religions — nationalist fanaticism, etc. —
  are much more dangerous. And if some find rational discussion offensive — as, for example, mainstream academics
  find dismantling myths of “American exceptionalism” or “Israeli self-defense” or Obama’s mass murder campaign,
  etc., offensive — so be it.

  But I don’t see why that should extend to ridicule. That includes astrologists. Astronomers can refute astrology,
  while recognizing that perfectly honest and deluded people may believe it and should be treated with respect, while
  their beliefs are confronted with evidence. I also don’t see why we should ridicule religious dogma, just as I don’t
  think we should ridicule the much more pernicious secular dogmas. Rather, we should respond to irrational belief
  with argument and evidence, while recognizing that their advocates (like most of the intellectual world in the case of
  secular dogma) are people who we should be responding to but without ridiculing them. It may be hard

  sometimes. For example, when the icon and founding father of sober non-sentimental Realism in International
  Affairs informs us that the US, unlike other countries, has a “transcendental purpose,” and the fact that it constantly
  acts in contradiction to its purpose doesn’t matter because the facts are just “abuse of history” while real history is
  “the evidence of history as our minds reflect it,” then it’s hard to avoid ridicule. But we should. There’s no point
  ridiculing virtually the entire IR profession and the major journals, even though such extraordinary irrationality leads
  to major human disasters.

  On Davis, I frankly think that’s a non-issue. If she decides she cannot do her job as the conditions of employment
  require (including following the law), then she can quit and look for another job. As in any other such case.

  Noam

  I think the big issue is separating yourself from Andrew. I mean I can see why a statement might help in some way -- but its Andrew (not clinton and the rest) that is keeping the story alive. Until you are able to come forward and address that the story lives on. I mean in the end he had consensual sex with And {worked for you. The rest is atmospherics. You have moved on!

  very well, my reputation has admittedly taken a hit. however, again, more calls re currency than i can handle. in addition I am considering a statement and positon that Out of respect and love for my former girlfrend I have tried to keep her out of my mess. she was never questioned , or subpeonaed. her name never surfaced.. I thought it right as a friend to protect her name. however during the entire [I time she was my serious girlfriend. She traveled with me almost everywhere. each house, she is on the plane many many times. she knew and remembers J “She never saw anything that {J claims. She can confirm 1. Iwas never alone at the house. staff, friends etc. , no girl ever complained , not once. 2. jane doe 1 and 2 , were local strippers, that would call all the time asking if they could do massages. . . they left message after message. 3. We had a serious love relationship , I had promised her not to involve her in my story as it was so sordid. . she was 22 - 24 at the time. . 4 she has photos after photos showing we were together. . 5 she knows clinton was never on the island. 6 she knows no sex with steven hawking, she knows no sex with ehud as he was also never on the island. 6 she is 38 years old now and presentable. .7 She woudl acknowledge that these girls asked to bring their friends . many of their best friends sat in the kitchen while they gave massages outside on the terrace.

  Hi Jeffrey,

  Sorry for the phone tag. In case it's easier to respond by email, I have put my questions below. I'm at my desk and should be here until 5, and should be free on my cell phone after 6:30.

  Best,

  Alex

  -what is the square footage of your Manhattan home?

  -do you work on alaptop from your dining room, with a large white board for notes and several pairs of reading glasses close at hand? Is the dining room windowless?

  -do paparazzi often camp outside your home?

  -did Michael once visit on the same day as a head of state who'd had a police escort?

  -did you tell Michael about a dinner you'd hosted for six tech entrepreneurs who had a combined worth of several hundred billion dollars? When was this meal?

  -Do you believe that there are now more people who possess Roosevelt or Carnegie-levels of wealth, the sort that can rival governments in influence? That these people face unusual challenges when entering philanthropy due to the sheer size of their fortunes? That the rich may know the business that made them rich, but not money itself?

  -are you interested in what will happen to the $4.2 trillion possessed by the super-rich in 40-odd years once they have mostly died?

  -Do you believe no superrich people want to give their entire fortunes to their children for fear of how it might affect them?

  -do you advise the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation on how to convince other billionaires to join their initiatives?

  -did you volunteer to invest $20 million dollars in Michael's attempt to buy New York Magazine in 2004?

  -do you believe the recent claims about Alan Dershowitz and Prince Andrew in relation to you are "ludicrous" ?

  -When you met Michael for lunch in the West Village, was it the first time in 10 years you'd gone to lunch at a restaurant?

  -Do you have a support staff of young women in their 20s and 30s? Have some of them worked for you for many years, through their own marriages and as they raise families? Have any of these employees been romantically involved with you? When Michael came to your home, had one of these women recently gone on an around the world honeymoon, which you arranged? Do they often travel with you to your other homes — in New Mexico, Paris, Palm Beach, and in the Caribbean? Do you maintain there is no quid-pro-quo in the relationships with these women? Do these women often socialize with the policy makers and businessmen with whom you often meet?

  -Is your current girlfriend a dental student you met four years ago at a dinner party in New York?

  -Did you date Eva Andersson Dubin? Have you known her for 30 years? Did you pay for her to go to medical school?

  -when you take meetings in your Manhattan dining room, do you take your guests out to a Sabrett hot dog cart? Will the women who work for you accompany you?

  -Did you invite Michael to sit inon a presentation by a group of quants? Are you looking for a group of quants who have developed promising investing algorithms, and do you plan to invest $5 million with each?

  -during U.N. Week in late September, did you host a Sunday night discussion with Bill Gates, Mort Zuckerman, and Peter Thiel? Was anyone else in attendance? Were you discussing a possible Gates Foundation donor advised fund?

  -Did you host Sheikh Hamad Bin Jassim and several others from Qatar? Do you know if the Sheikh has ahome across the street from you in Manhattan? Did they talk to you about bribery compromising their bid for the World Cup? When was this? Did they bring a gift of chocolate made with pistachios grown on the Sheikh's farm?

  -The morning after the Qataris came over, did you have a9 AM breakfast with the attorney Reid Weingarten? Did you discuss his defense of CT governor John Rowland, the Qatari visit, and who controls ISIS? Did Weingarten believe Turkey was using ISIS as a proxy against the Kurds?

  -After this, did you meet with Brock Pierce to discuss bitcoin? Did Larry Summers join this meeting?

  -That evening, did you host Australian PM Kevin Rudd and Thorborn Jagland for a cocktail party? Did Jagland critique US foreign policy? Did you offer to fly him back to Europe on your jet?

  Middle Eastern Monarchs Look at the

  America's Arab allies have always wanted to buy direct access
  to U.S. foreign policy, and they finally found a seller.

  Almost 20 years ago when I was a graduate student living in Cairo, I published an article in
  a Washington-based journal called Middle East Insight. The magazine had a solid
  reputation, with a knack for scoring interviews with important people. (In the same edition
  as my piece, titled “Egypt’s Next Generation,” there was an interview with Gamal Mubarak,
  son of long-term Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, who had already begun his rise —
  though not yet his eventual fall — as heir apparent.) A few years later, Middle East Insight
  disappeared. When I heard the news, I figured the magazine was too niche for an expanding
  media environment, shrugged my shoulders, and went on with life.

  I hadn’t thought about Middle East Insight until its onetime publisher, George Nader,
  recently exploded into the news as an international man of mystery at the center of an
  apparent attempt to covertly influence the outcome of the last American presidential
  election. It seems that in the span of not quite two decades, the guy who ran a small, likely
  not profitable, but influential policy magazine become a conduit between Crown Prince
  Mohammed bin Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan of the Abu Dhabi, Saudi Crown Prince
  Mohammed bin Salman, and Donald Trump’s closest inner circle, both after, and —
  crucially for special counsel Robert Mueller’s ongoing criminal investigation — before
  Trump’s election as U.S. president.

  What nice coverage in the Huffington Post.

  Living in Europe, I was not aware that Trump's proposed cuts will be so devastating to the scientific
  community.

  You asked me if I would be in New York September 18. Did you have something in mind?
  I am 77 and do not travel so well. I have cut back on my plans to travel. I can consider coming to New York,
  September has anything to do specifically with the vagus nerve - and if it cannot be done with a conference
  call on Skype.
  I will be able to stop in NYC on a future trip.

  A small point on the election that maybe you think might have some value for HC 
  1-In Europe a LOT of citizens start becoming very angry and voting for populist parties 
  2-A major reason is that the interconnected world shows them every minute on their smartphones how rich 
  people are living and envy sets in (especially with raising inequality that is perfectly normal when financial 
  returns of rich people are exponential and work returns are linear) 
  3-They want change and risk electing completely wrong people (Italy 5stelle, France LePen might be next, 
  Hungary, Greece already lost, Brexit and anti-trade another example) 
  4-US election is over, Trump has destroyed himself as expected (I was in Wharton with Donald Jr, 3.95GPA vs. 
  2.5 GPA but he thought he was a god... what a family) 
  the message: 
  5-Maybe HC can use the last debates to create weapons for change. She could acknowledge that she 
  understands that people want change, and ask for a clear majority in the senate thinking abou that instead of 
  presidential elections. Then if she does bad in 4 years she is out, but she could make the public understand that 
  senate is key to show what a president can do. 
  But again, I know 0.001% of what you or them understands about politics, I am however worried that europe is 
  just 5 or 10 years ahead on this trend compared to the US in anti-establishment feelings and I have seen with 
  friends how irrational and influenceable masses can become in voting when they are frustrated (Hitler was 
  elected after all...) 
  Hope to see you soon!!!

  Dear Jeffrey,
  Here is an invitation you can forward. Fingers crossed.
  I'm going upstairs to hunt for my copy of Lolita, or will get on my kindle and reread on our way to
  Australia. I may have lent it to one of my kids. I would recommend reading My Antonia by Cather next time
  you're on a long plane trip. The prose is gorgeous, and the book has-- come to think of it-- similar themes to
  Lolita in that it's about a man whose whole life is stamped forever by his impression of a young girl.
  Thank you for this help with Serena. I'm so sorry about what happened with WA. I will keep the "bootleg"
  episode and hope to release someday. It's so good, and he was so kind to read the poem with me and you were
  so kind to make it happen.

  Jay,

  You have renewed your request for certain information which this Office does not generally make available in similar pre-indictment situations. After carefully considering your request, I have decided, in my capacity as the First Assistant U.S. Attorney, not to make an exception here.

  Regarding the Landon Thomas matter, Mr. Thomas was given, pursuant to his request, non-case specific information concerning specific federal statutes.

  Regarding the offer to extend the current deadline of March 3, 2008 contained in my February 25th email. That offer was based on counsel for Mr. Epstein meeting with CEOS the week of March 3rd. You indicate that you are unavailable. It is hard to imagine that some or all of the other attorneys representing Mr. Epstein cannot serve this function. After all, Mr. Epstein is also represented by Dean Kenneth Starr, Martin Weinberg, Roy Black, Gerald Lefcourt, Harvard Professor Alan Dershowitz, Lily Ann Sanchez, and Guy Lewis.

  That being said, the Southern District of Florida will only renew the offer to extend the current deadline if you and the CEOS Section Chief mutually agree on a timetable by close of business on Friday, February 29, 2008 to meet and complete presentations no later than March 19, 2008. Given that CEOS is ready to proceed immediately, this seems like more than ample time. As I indicated in my previous email, if CEOS subsequently decides that a federal prosecution should not be undertaken against Mr. Epstein, this Office will close its investigation. However, should CEOS disagree with Mr. Epstein’s position, Mr. Epstein shall have one week to abide by the terms and conditions of the September 24, 2007 Agreement as amended by letter from United States Attorney Acosta.

  Warning: The Smart Money 
  Is Fleeing U.S. Stocks 
  BY BILL BONNER, CHAIRMAN, BONNER & PARTNERS 
  DUBLIN — The Dow dropped 180 points yesterday — or 
  about 1%. 
  And another clever billionaire says he is looking elsewhere 
  for profits. Reuters: 
  Activist investor Carl Icahn on Monday said there was a chance the stock 
  market could suffer a big decline, saying valuations are rich and earnings at 
  many companies are fueled more by low borrowing costs than management's 
  efforts to boost results. 
  "I am very cautious on equities today. This market could easily have a big 
  drop," Icahn said. 
  Yes, dear reader, the smart money is getting out of U.S. stocks. And here's our 
  old friend Rob Marstrand explaining why: 
  Right now, every measure that analyzes the S&P 500 says it's expensive. Prices 
  are high relative to earnings, net assets, sales, and cash flow. 
  What's more, there's plenty of evidence that the main thing propping up the 
  stock prices is heavy buying by the companies themselves [via share 
  repurchases]. 
  And now, that prop is getting kicked out from under the stock market. 
  Bloomberg: 
  After snapping up trillions of dollars of their own stock in a five-year 
  shopping binge that dwarfed every other buyer, U.S. companies from Apple 
  Inc. to IBM Corp. just put on the brakes. 
  Announced repurchases dropped 38% to $244 billion in the last four months, 
  the biggest decline since 2009...

  Pareto's "Foxes" 
  Although the bull market in U.S. stocks is probably near its end, the bull 
  market in the Deep State shows no sign of weakening. 
  Year after year, the power of the "foxes" grows. 
  It was the great Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto who noticed — among other 
  things — that no matter what kind of government you think you have, there are 
  always some crafty insiders, the "foxes," who take control of it. 
  Policies are set, programs are started... decisions are made... with no consent 
  of the people or their elected officials; the foxes work the angles. 
  Over time, the forces of law and order become more and more corrupt.., as the 
  foxes bend the entire system to do their bidding. 
  Wars are started with no plan or intention to win them. Money is handed out 
  for no better reason than this: They can get away with it. 
  And best of all, most people are none the wiser; they believe the myths... and 
  attack anyone who challenges them. 
  Rip-Off 
  Perhaps the biggest rip-off of all time has taken place over the last eight years 
  — and in plain sight of everybody. 
  Via the magic of ultra-low rates, the Fed — a nest for the wiliest and most 
  cunning of the foxes — took roughly $8 trillion out of the pockets of savers and 
  retirees and handed it to borrowers. 
  Who is the world's biggest borrower? 
  Yes... it's the Deep State itself. 
  The Fed claimed to be helping to "stimulate" the economy. But you can't really 
  stimulate an economy by stealing from the people who produce wealth and 
  provide it with capital. 
  Not surprisingly, growth has stalled. Wages have fallen. Productivity has 
  stagnated. 
  For 95% of the male population, real earnings are lower today than they were 
  in 1973. 
  Is there any wonder many of these men vote for Donald Trump — a "strong 
  man" who promises to do something about it? 
  But the top 5% — where the foxes are — gained income. Their wages are up 
  more than 50% over the same time. 
  Why? 
  Because they take more and more money from the rest of us. 
  More tomorrow... on a new Rebellion in Gualfin... and a measure of how big 
  the Deep State has become... 
  Regards, 
  Bill 
  Further Reading: The Deep State already controls just about every aspect of 
  American life. From health care to education to the food on our tables to the 
  never-ending war on terror, this cadre of cronies is pulling the strings. 
  In his latest online presentation, Bill exposes how the Deep State has now 
  pushed the world to the brink of an irreversible disaster. Learn more here as 
  he reveals how it will all unfold... and, more importantly, how it'll change your 
  life forever. 
  Market Insight 
  BY CHRIS LOWE, EDITOR AT LARGE 
  George Soros is betting big on gold. 
  As Bill reported yesterday, the billionaire speculator cut his  
  firm's investments in U.S. stocks by more than one-third. 
  Soros has also disclosed a new stake in the world's biggest 
  gold miner, Barrick Gold (ABX). 
  Soros Fund Management, his investment vehicle, bought a 1.7% of Barrick. 
  This makes it Soros' biggest listed holding. 
  As today's chart shows, Barrick has skyrocketed so far in 2016. 
  The company's stock is up a jaw-dropping 156% year to date.

  Readers continue to weigh in on the state of U.S. politics. Here are more 
  responses to Monday's issue, "Trump's Biggest Deal." 
  Sarah Palin will be the V.P. with Trump, and you may be surprised that they 
  will have a balance budget within three years. And with Obamacare repealed, 
  job killing regulations eliminated, and corporate tax rates cut, it will make the 
  U.S. more business friendly. 
  — Christopher F. 
  Good God! Anything is better than just giving it to Hilary and her 
  despicable husband. 
  — Judy P. 
  Thanks for including Jefferson and von Mises, my favorite Galician, in 
  the list of good guys. Our economy cannot be repaired without 
  dismantling the Fed. As you often point out, our monetary system is 
  rotten at the core, as it is based on credit. 
  I read in one of these letters from a libertarian source that Jefferson 
  wrote, already in 1810 or so, that he had failed to set up a free country 
  as he envisioned.., and that was still more than too years before the 
  Federal Reserve Act. 
  On the other hand, even today, I strongly believe that if we just followed 
  the Constitution, we would be okay — especially the loth amendment. I 
  think that is the most important of all. 
  — Chaim K. 
  In the words of Warren Zevon, "Send lawyers, guns, and money; the s---
  has hit the fan." 
  The Democratic Party is electing a known criminal, and they don't care, 
  as long as it's their criminal. They just assume all politicians are 
  criminal, and the really good ones get their districts what they need. 
  Would anyone let Harry Reid babysit their children? The Republican 
  Party is electing anybody who is not a politician. Donald Trump just 
  happens to be the best known, "anybody" who is running. 
  — Wayde L. 
  All I can say about Bill's message on Monday is: "Amen, brother! Amen!" 
  He hit every nail right on the head. 
  To those self-deluding worthies who think that a Donald Trump 
  presidency will solve all of America's problems I say, "Get your heads 
  out of your collective a***s, because it ain't gonna happen." 
  Trump will continue the policies (if we can laughably call them such) of 
  the Deep State... with a dash of Adolph Hitler thrown in for good 
  measure. Clinton will be no better, if not worse. 
  I'm with Bill — a vote for the lesser of two evils is still voting for evil. 
  However, unlike him, I will vote, but for a third-party candidate who 
  doesn't have a snowball's chance of winning. A "wasted" vote is better 
  than a vote for Trump or Hillary. 
  — Dale A. 
  I think you are correct in your assessment of the Deep State. I disagree 
  in how to deal with it. 
  It seems easy for the rich or the poor to walk away and state it doesn't 
  matter. The poor because they do not have a choice; the rich because 
  they do. For those of us in the middle we need to deal with it, lest we 
  end up in the poor camp. For me, a decision that includes a less bad 
  scenario is still a decision worth pursuing.

  Jeffrey-
  ! need to start off by stating that it is not my intent to go around Shawn Lancaster on this — Shawn is a friend. 
  This being said, I have received e-mails from both you and Larry this weekend. 
  I called Larry and he said I should send you an e-mail. 
  I called a close friend of mine inquiring about the GV market and aircraft that are "not published". As of today, 
  there are eight (8) of these aircraft that are not yet on the market. 
  Let me know if you would like to speak with him and by what means (you call him, he call you, call 
  Larry ....whatever). 
  By the way, his company sold Trumps 727 and got Trump a very attractive number for an aircraft that was on 
  it's way to a museum. 
  Hope all is well.

I asked him if he would join the anti Trump rallies when he gains strength. Doctors thought he might live many months. Alas he was laughing and smiling till the end and frowning about Trump. Warm and loving regards Jim Drouaas My friend Alana, a young comedian, was here with him most nights. Irwin used to say he will live to 147. Alana explained that 102 is 147 in comedian years.

  Indicting a President Is Not Foreclosed: The Complex History

  Can a sitting president be indicted? Often, in answering this question, commentators point to Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) opinions answering in the contrary. To whatever extent the writer agrees or disagrees with the opinions' conclusion, the government's position on the matter is usually presented as a long-standing and clear "no."

  The reality is more complicated. The United States has addressed this question six times in both internal memos and briefs filed in litigation. And a review of these documents shows that it is far from clear what criminal prosecution steps are (or should be) precluded—and that there is no "longstanding policy" against indictment of the president. Consider the 1973 OLC memo stating that a sitting president should not be indicted. Far from being authoritative, it was essentially repudiated within months by the Justice Department in the United States' filing in the Supreme Court in United States v. Nixon.

  Likewise, the most recent opinion—an OLC memo written in 2000—includes brief statements that a sitting president should not be indicted even if all further proceedings are postponed. But far from being definitive, this is a matter that could be reconsidered by the department. Moreover, of course, OLC opinions are not binding on state prosecutors (though state charges could raise federalism questions as well). The complex history of criminal proceedings against presidents and vice presidents suggests that these issues are not foreclosed.

  Perhaps the most important point that emerges from a review of all the opinions is this: only once has the United States addressed the question of whether a president can be an unindicted co-conspirator. The conclusion was an unequivocal yes. Richard Nixon was so named in the Watergate indictment, and that inclusion was sustained by Judge John Sirica and defended by the United States in United States v. Nixon. (The Supreme Court did not resolve the question.) No department opinion or filing has ever contradicted that position.

  The fact that it is permissible to name a sitting president as unindicted co-conspirator, moreover, tends significantly to undermine the only argument against indicting a sitting president.

  (I should note that the U.S. Attorney's manual cautions against naming persons as unindicted co-conspirators "[in the absence of some significant justification." Here, of course, the "significant justification" would exist if a sitting president is the only individual in the country who is immune from indictment. Thus, for that individual alone, the usual better course of indictment would not be available.)

  Hi Larry,

  Thank you very much for taking the meeting this morning. I’m glad you found it worthwhile, and I agree with you that Adam Friedman’s commitment to the project is impressive.

  I AM serious about working on this---it’s a nice opportunity to make important practical use of some interesting theory. Voting rules may seem nerdy and dry, but they can make an enormous difference to actual politics

  The formal argument that RCV promotes centrism better than the current system (plurality rule) is straightforward. Suppose that most voters vote ideologically in the sense that the closer a candidate is to their own position on the left-right spectrum, the more like they are to vote for him. Then under majority rule (my favorite voting system)---in which voters rank candidates and the winner is the candidate who beats all other in pairwise comparisons----the winner will be the median voter’s favorite candidate ----- in other words, the most centrist candidate gets elected (this assumes that there are enough candidates running so that there is one who is reasonably close to the median voter). Now observe that RCV is in between majority rule and plurality rule, and so will promote centrism better than plurality rule.

  Best wishes, Eric

  keep close ! This much we know - the Fall elections are shaping up to be a referendum on the most divisive American President in memory. The battle for potential Supreme Court justice Brett Kavanaugh's nomination this fall will only amplify the polarity of the political debate that is already deeply overwrought on both sides. The rising tide of pressure on Donald Trump from the Mueller investigation shows no sign of ebbing. Unless the underlying political dynamics are disrupted, the outcomes of these unprecedented events will still leave us with the same unsatisfactory two front battlefield of the 2016 Presidential election. Watching these unrelenting, compounding events since our discussion in May, I am guessing we are all asking the same question: now what? For the 48 percent of Americans who believe Donald Trump should not be in the White House, perhaps we too want our own "chaos" candidate in 2020? Should Trump run again, this could be a "break glass" moment for the majority of Americans who don't support him. Do we want to break the genteel precedents of two parties running their ceremonious and seemingly illogical nominating process to select a candidate? (Why do Iowa and New Hampshire play such outsized roles? What kind of small-d democratic process relies on superdelegates?) The system failed in 2016, with both parties producing terribly flawed candidates in a race to the bottom. We need to build a back-up plan in the event the system fails again. It's possible, of course, that we won't need a third-party candidate. Trump could decide not to run for whatever reason. The Democrats could nominate a winning 2020 candidate. I am not willing to take those bets. The ideal candidate for a new third party is someone who is widely perceived to be that rare combination of both good and great. We are looking for a proven leader of men and women, someone with clear, democratic — and moral — values that reflect the best of America, not our worst. We know people like this on the national stage now. As a thought experiment, consider the possibilities of a ticket outside the partisan lanes and imagine the chemistry of radical combinations: Biden/Romney? Bill Gates/Hogan? Bloomberg/Haley? Howard Schultz/Bob Corker? Sandberg/Kasich? As we have discussed narrow path to electing the first president outside the two major party primary system in 168 years is more navigable than most think. Heading into 2020, converging trends in American's demands for a third party (a historic high of 61%), disapproval of Donald Trump holding steady above 50%, and the increasingly leftward drift of the Democratic Party suggest that electorate may be susceptible to merits of a new centrist party. Cynics will say that the structural impediments of ballot and presidential debate access, the overwhelming advantages of legacy parties' fundraising and voter turn-out operations preordain failure, but they're wrong; the legal and logistical hurdles are amenable to a combination of lawyering and resources. The bigger, more consequential factors come in terms of candidate quality and policy. I believe a candidate with five specific characteristics including a unique — and purposefully non-specific - policy agenda could limbo a win. • This is what I think a successful third-party candidate looks like; a dream third party ticket would start off with enough name ID to be an instant contender. Building the name ID to run nationally is just too long and expensive of a process to accomplish in the 28 months until the next presidential election. We can't beat a celebrity without some celebrity of our own, whether from politics, sports, business, or entertainment. Instantaneous name ID is so crucial because the candidate must start out in striking distance in any three-way poll against Trump and a fill-in-the-blank Democratic flavor-of-the day candidate. The media and political class will predetermine irrelevance otherwise. • A Democrat-leaning candidate would have to top the ideal third-party ticket. We need someone with a shot at snaking a plurality of the vote in the blue states Hillary Clinton won (227 electoral votes), but moderate enough to win a plurality in some combination of Trump states like Florida, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan (another 119 votes). The right candidate may even to put North Carolina, Ohio, Indiana in play for a centrist bi-partisan ticket as well (totaling an electoral sweep of 464 elector votes). A right leaning candidate would meet the same fate as a primary challenger to Trump — for all intents and purposes we need to assume that 36% of voters won't be cleaved from Trump under any circumstances and run to win around them. The deep red states would be off the table entirely. • With the Trump reality show airing daily, voters are now expecting to take their politics with a side of entertainment. Heretofore, ratings will matter no matter how dry the policy topic. Surely Stephen Colbert would gladly sacrifice his executive producer Chris Licht to produce a daily comedic segment of this dream candidate interviewing Americans in truck stops and McDonald's across the country. A few of the "Saturday Night Live" script writers could certainly be enticed to disguise serious debates as informative amusement. Any candidate must be committed to a near daily cadence of high quality, compelling video production. It will be especially crucial to keep the voters' attention during what will be a raucous Democratic primary season. Rules governing access to the general election debate stage dictate that a candidate enjoy support of at least 15% of voters in the months leading up to the general election. • This dream candidate would pledge to serve only four years and address all of the U.S.'s ticking time bombs like Social Security, Medicare, health care reform, climate change, money in politics, gerrymandering, and infrastructure investment in a single term. This one-and-done term decouples our candidate from the usual politics and gives them the power of promise and deliver decisive action. A four-year term pledge ensures governance independent of campaign finance concerns and narrow special interests inherent to winning re-election. This "fix-it" ticket would promise to force decisions on all the underlying structural policy matters damaging America's long-term prospects and distorting our democracy. No more kicking the can down the road. • This candidate should also pledge to push for laws passed that reflect the will of simple majorities in Congress. Congress now only allows bills to move forward when a "majority of a majority" supports the policy and on many levels seems fundamentally broken. This third-party president could force votes based on a transparent reading of where the votes lie via coalition building. The Senate filibuster power will present a high hurdle, but a third-party candidate would be a de facto disruptor of the two-party system. Party discipline could well break down, and moderates in both parties could form a powerful, decisive block willing to work with the new President. The policies passed into law may not be ideal for either Democrats or Republicans, but for the major agenda items that must be addressed for America's long-term health, an imperfect fix that corrects course is better than those that now have us hurtling toward national bankruptcy. And if no candidate secures 270 electoral votes in 2020? The House of Representatives would choose the next president. In 2016, reports suggested Michael Bloomberg declined to run on a third-party ticket for fear of splitting support from Hillary Clinton and throwing the election to a GOP-controlled House of Representatives who would then vote to select the president. The fear was the GOP controlled House would have just elected Trump. Would Democratic control of the House mean that the House would pick an alternative to Trump as president? Each state delegation has a single vote in selecting a president and it is the incoming Congress - the class elected in 2020 that would decide the election. But no matter which party has the speaker's chair, the GOP would almost certainly have the upper hand in the majority of state delegations controlled. Would the state delegations pick a president based on party majority control of the delegation, the winner of the popular vote in each state or their own calculations as to who is best for America? Precedent suggests that delegations use secret ballots, which means individual lawmakers may vote their consciences. If we recruit this ideal candidate; threading the needle of name ID, a center-left bent, a TV- savvy campaign team and a pledge to serve only four years with an apartisan agenda, money and campaign expertise would certainly follow. And 50 state ballot access is a function of time (starting in the fall of 2019 would be prudential) and hard work as we have discussed and many of you have exhaustively war-gamed. Part and parcel of this effort would be motivating the often politically lackadaisical middle to vote. The raft of new technologies in data targeting and biometric mobile voting technology could transform the electorate in the next few, amping voter participation and injecting the voices of moderates (both in political views and level of political interest) into the process. And any third-party effort must incorporate advocacy for accelerated adaption of these all but inevitable voter verification tools. I believe Silicon Valley could be game-changing allies in this effort. I am sure none of us doubt that chaos could potentially be unleashed by jamming three viable candidates into a two-party system. An election that ends up in the House of Representatives is an uncontrollable, murky and ancient process. But might that be a less scary prospect than relying on the Democrats to nominate a candidate who can beat Trump in 2020?

  Hot Book Rips Jeffrey Epstein's $50 Billion Dollar Ponzi Crime Covered Up By President Obama

  By Steven Hoffenberg
  Publisher/CEO

  Lisa Twardeau died at the dirty hands of billionaire Jeffrey Epstein's lies about the crimes he committed while working atTowersinvestors.com.

  Jeffrey Epstein looted Towers Investors of billions of dollars in ponzi crimes at the time Lisa became the wife of Steven Hoffenberg, who was Epstein's boss at Towers Investors.

  Epstein defrauded the Towers Investors with a cover-up after taking $2 billion from Towers and depositing it into the Epstein Hedge Fund Financial Trust Corp.

  Lisa Twardeau died when she was going to expose the fact that Jeffrey Epstein looted billions from Towers Investors by ponzi crimes.

  Now, from the grave, Lisa Twardeau slams arrogant ponzi crimes King Epstein in the tell-all book she wrote that reveals everything about Epstein and the Feds' cover-up with President Obama.

  The Feds are bad. They are covering up the Epstein ponzi crimes. The Lisa Twardeau book states that the FBI is violating the law with this cover-up.

  The book says President Obama told the Attorney General that Jeffrey Epstein was cooperating in an overseas banking crime, but the FBI can't arrest Epstein. These are all lies by the President of the United States.

  The book says that President Obama lied to cover up his relationship with Larry Summers who is on Jeffrey Epstein's payroll.

  The book could give reasons for the president to be impeached for obstruction of justice whereby the U.S. Attorney General will learn everything that is in the Twardeau book.

  Readers, stay with this hot story that reveals that a cover-up in America is taking place.

  The Richard Nixon story all over again is in the Lisa Twardeau book coming soon........

  Media Magic: How a Democrat Pedophile Became a 'Trump Scandal'
  Strangely, the media have suddenly taken an intense interest in the case of pedophile and major Democratic donor Jeffrey Epstein.
  In 2005, the Palm Beach police were told by the mother of a young girl in West Palm Beach that her daughter had been brought to the Democratic donor's mansion and asked to have sex with him for money. This kicked off an intensive, one-year undercover investigation.
  The police sifted through Epstein's garbage and interviewed 17 witnesses, including the housemen, who told of sex toys and dildos left behind after the underage girls left. One of Epstein's procurers, a 20-year-old local woman named Haley Robson, who was paid $200 for every teenaged girl she brought to Jeffrey, was cooperating with police, telling them she was like "Heidi Fleiss." They obtained statements from five of Epstein's young victims, who said they'd been paid $200 to $300 to engage in various sex acts with ...

  It's not too late to buy financials as a medium term trade. They've run up a lot this week but we're getting endless calls from generalists asking which banks to buy — there is still more upside to the sector. Banks also provide some offset to your bonds if interest rates continue to move. Our financials sector specialist thinks XLF could have another 20-25% upside given its many levers to the Trump trade: less regulation, higher interest rates/steeper yield curve, higher vol, economic growth, etc. The regional banks are asset sensitive and more of a pure play on a rates move but we view the larger cap banks as having even more upside to the Trump Trade given the above points.

  Buy an XLF 17March2017 call spread:
  • Buy the 105% call / sell a 110% call with a 115% at-expiry knock-in
  • Total premium: 1.75%

  All eyes are on Sunday's 60 Minutes interview with Trump. Market is pricing that all regulations will be rolled back (very optimistic). Any hint that this is not true could lead to pullback on Monday.

  Note on tech: we're seeing FANG used as a source of funds with the rotation from growth into value. There's also the tax read-through: tech is already relatively tax advantaged @ 22%; Industrials are at 30%, Financials at 29%. Next year, tech could benefit from a repatriation tax holiday but that is viewed as more of a Q1/Q2 trade.

  More thoughts on financials:
  With respect to the economy, the market is certainly indicating that there will be a large fiscal stimulus which may send US growth higher and that's a good thing for financials for a wide variety of reasons, from employment to wages to loan growth and credit quality (even if somewhat offset by higher rates). It does remain to be seen exactly how much of this expected policy actually gets done, but at the moment, investors are willing to take a certain amount of growth on faith.
  So those are positives for financials before we even discuss regulation. The move in the financials since the election would seem to indicate that investors have concluded that nearly every piece of financial regulation will get put into a shredder on day one of the new administration. The incoming administration has fueled that with comments about rolling back pieces (or more) of Dodd-Frank in particular. I can see making the case for that to the American public by saying that banks need less regulation in order to get more capital flowing into the economy to drive growth. Not only does that mean that the E is likely too low (meaning that the P/E is not as high as it seems) but it could help improve ROE's as well which could increase the multiple of that higher E investors are willing to pay. Note that while ROEs could go higher, it's unlikely that they can get back to the peaks...

  We continue to see buyers of XLF today. Funds are underweight financials in all regions, valuations are reasonable, earnings are improving and financials tend to outperform when bond yields rise.

  Vol is higher today — refreshed pricing below.

  Buy an XLF 17March2017 call spread:
  • Buy the 105% call / sell a 110% call with a 115% at-expiry knock-in
  • Total premium: 1.86%

  Global Positioning in Stocks: Nigel Tupper notes the 4000 funds in our "Positioning in Stocks" analysis are more underweight Financials, on average, than any other sector and are underweight this sector in all regions of the world. If earnings continue to improve and yield rise, which is often the case in an upturn in our Global Wave, then the unloved Financials sector has the potential to continue to outperform.

  Global Quant Panorama: "Bearish on Bonds" stocks (which tend to move in the opposite direction to bond yields) tend to outperform our "Bullish On Bonds" when bond yields rise. The sectors that tend to perform best as bond yields rise are Energy, Tech, Materials, Banks, and Diversified Financials. Of these sectors, the laggards this year have been Banks and Diversified Financials. With a PE of 15.9x and a PB of 2.0x, Global valuations are reasonable. Also, Risk is near all-time lows in terms of PE in most regions. Now that macro and earnings data have triggered the beginning of a rotation, Value becomes very relevant.

  Financials: buy XLF Mar17 $22 call with $26 KO for $0.87 with full premium rebate on KO

  Our Financials Conference was this week and client attendance was up by 66% from last year. Yes, banks/financials might pull back at some point after this run-up but we would be buyers on any pullbacks and we continue to see further upside from multiple expansion and earnings growth. Our analyst raised her price targets by —11% across the board. The long term rotation from bonds and div stocks into sectors like financials is only beginning.

  Vol is higher on the week; what prices well now:
  Buy the XLF March 2017 $22 call with $26 Knock-Out (continuous) for $0.87, with a full premium rebate if knock-out occurs.

  This prices attractively given flat call skew and if XLF breaches $26 and this knocks out, at least you get your premium back.

  Please find our Financials report attached.

  Future of Financials conference hosted 90 public and private companies at our Future of Financials conference. We are raising our price objectives across most of our names. Three primary reasons why we think there is upside remaining after the recent rally: 1) an improved outlook on both activity levels and interest rates, driving revenue upside; 2) potentially lower regulatory burden, particularly as new supervisory leadership can come with the new administration; and 3) relatively lighter positioning in US financials vs. other sectors.

  Hey Jeffrey,
  Thought I'd check in and see what's up on your end.
  - I've been watching closely Trump's appointees and there, he might be putting Balaji (a big bitcoiner)
  as FDA head, and Allison seems to be somewhat in favor of something like Bitcoin. And of course,
  Thiel has said that Bitcoin is what Paypal should have been... Curious to hear where your head is at
  on this matter.
  - Last week, I presented my research at Stanford's BPASE, it was well received. The most interesting
  thing I came up with for that is an inverse-input contract; i.e., funds that are "locked" to be spent only
  in the case where there are other funds that are not used in a specific way. An example of something
  that could be built with this: a matching donation contract, where you agree to donate your money to
  charity if someone else donates to charity, and you would not be able to release your funds from that
  agreement until they use their funds not for charity.
  - I'm in Japan this week, teaching a class to 100 Japanese Engineers to get the up to speed on
  bitcoin (with DG). It's very interesting to see the trepidation first hand that they have with respect to
  the technology, despite their debit-based society being more geared for it in any case (DG felt that
  even putting Bitcoin in the course name would scare away students). One of my friends (a hedge
  fund manager) told me that female japanese engineers are very good, and drastically under-valued. I
  made sure to get a few invited to the class, we'll see if he's right. On the whole, it will be interesting to
  see the caliber of engineer Japan has to offer on this front.
  Best,
  Jeremy

  The view from the US: Stem cell therapy steps up a gear with first

  Special Report
  Peter Winter
  Positive clinical data, increases in federal funding and the first regulatory approval of a manufactured stem
  cell product mean momentum is building in the US. With the re-election of President Obama, this is likely to

  When US President Barack Obama came into office he made good on his promise to overturn President George W. Bush's executive
  order that - with the exception of a handful of existing stem cell lines - prohibited federal funding of human embryonic stem cell (hESC)
  research.
  Special Report - Stem Cell Research under Horizon 2020
  Stem Cell Research in Horizon 2020: Experts debate what Europe must do to maintain its lead in regenerative medicine
  The view from the US: Stem cell therapy steps up a gear with first approval and improved political climate
  View from Europe: Delivering on the vision of regenerative medicine and stem cells
  Talking to the experts: Why the EU should support human embryonic stem cell research in Horizon 2020
  OVERVIEW: Regenerate the future - human embryonic stem cell research is crucial to deliver health and growth
  This easing of restrictions on hESC research was expected to engender enough confidence to attract investors into the space and
  encourage pharmaceutical and biotech companies to build robust product pipelines based on stem cell therapies. However, a tougher
  regulatory climate for biopharmaceuticals in general and a protracted legal challenge to the relaxing of rules on hESCs has served to
  keep both big pharma companies and venture capitalists on the sidelines to date.
  Nevertheless, there has been progress, particularly at the research end of the development spectrum. Three and a half years on stem
  cells are no longer high on the political agenda as they once were. This speaks to the generally positive public acceptance of stem cell
  research in the US. A Research!America poll of likely voters in the presidential election, conducted in August 2012, found that 61 per
  cent of prospective voters were in favor of expanding funding for hESC research.
  Investor interest
  Looking back over his first term in office Obama can point to some major gains. These include funding increases for the National
  Institutes of Health's (NIH) stem cell initiatives, and greater investor interest in the wider field of regenerative medicine including the use
  of adult stem cells and induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells.
  However, it hasn't all been smooth sailing. Although after protracted forethought, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) gave the
  green light for the Californian biotech Geron to begin the very first human clinical trial of a human embryonic stem cell-derived therapy
  in January 2009, the trial has not been without its problems.
  The Phase I trial, treating patients with acute spinal cord injury, was hit with an FDA clinical hold causing significant delays to its
  initiation in 2010. A year later, after 15 years' effort, the Geron washed its hands of the programme, blaming its withdrawal from the
  stem cell space on capital scarcity and uncertain economic conditions. The decision wiped out a leading player in hESC translation and
  commercialisation. However, the regenerative medicine sector has been able to recover and is beginning to blossom. (See Public
  Markets section below). The prime movers in the Geron trial are now attempting to revive it.
  Research funding robust
  Federal funding for all forms of stem cell research has increased over the past four years. However, the NIH funding component for
  hESC has been dogged by litigation for the past three years. In Sherley v. Sebelius, researchers James Sherley and Theresa Deisher,
  who worked with adult stem cells, claimed the NIH guidelines violated the Dickey-Wicker Amendment, which prohibits the use of federal
  funds for research in which human embryos are destroyed or discarded. This overhang was not finally removed until August 2012 when
  a three-judge panel from the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit unanimously upheld the NIH 2009 guidelines that
  permit funding of hESC research.
  Through its Common Fund the NIH has established the Center for Regenerative Medicine (NIH CRM), to support this field, with the
  goal of accelerating the translation of stem cell-based clinical therapies.
  State funding filling the void
  With stem cell research in general not attracting a significant amount of venture funding, the California Institute of Regenerative
  Medicine (CIRM), which was established in 2004 with $3 billion for stem cell research at California universities and research institutions,
  has begun to fill the void left by traditional venture capital firms. To date CIRM has allocated $150 million in funding to help move
  promising stem cell-based therapies from the bench into clinical trials.
  'We are a lot closer to having promising therapies ready for clinical trials, so it makes sense that we step up our engagement with
  industry to help fund those trials and move those therapies closer to approval by the FDA," said Duane Roth, vice chair of the governing
  board of CIRM.
  CIRM's funding for translational research is good news for biotech companies, providing them with a source of funds in a field where it
  remains challenging to raise private capital.
  Three biotech companies have been funded so far under CIRM's Strategic Partnership Awards initiative. A grant of $10.1 million was
  awarded to ViaCyte Inc. to continue preclinical research and initiate clinical testing of an embryonic stem cell-based therapy for patients
  with insulin-dependent diabetes.
  Meanwhile, Bluebird Bio Inc. will use a $9.3 million grant to support a Phase I/II study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of LentiGlobin,
  the company's programme for the treatment of the inherited blood disorder beta-thalassemia, which will be initiated in the US in 2013.
  StemCells Inc. has been awarded up to $20 million to fund preclinical development of its product consisting of purified human neural
  stem cells for treating Alzheimer's disease, with the goal of filing for permission to carry out a clinical trial in that time. In July, CIRM
  approved a separate award to the company for up to $20 million to fund preclinical development of a cell therapy for spinal cord injury.
  Public Markets
  It has been a good year for stem cell companies on the public markets, with the thirteen publicly-listed stem cell companies showing an
  average increase in share price of 11.6 percent in the year-to-date.
  This boost came from a regulatory approval and positive clinical trials results. It was a big breakthrough for the field as a whole when
  the Canadian regulator Health Canada approved Prochymal, Osiris Therapeutics Inc.'s allogeneic stem cell treatment for graft-vs.-host
  disease (GvHD) in children.
  The decision marked the world's first regulatory approval of a manufactured stem cell product and the first therapy approved for GvHD
  — a devastating complication of bone marrow transplantation that kills up to 80 percent of children affected, many within just weeks of
  diagnosis. The company's stock value has almost doubled in the course of this year.
  Meanwhile, Newark, California-based StemCells, Inc. has seen its shares rise 148 per cent in the year to date. In addition to its CIRM
  grants, the company recently reported clinical and preclinical data demonstrating the therapeutic potential of a cell therapy for treating
  myelination disorders.
  Pluristem Therapeutics Inc.'s stock value also has jumped 44 per cent, on the strength of reporting a single case study in wh ich a
  patient with aplastic bone marrow who received an intramuscular injection of its PLacental eXpanded cells under compassionate use
  saw an improvement. The company was also able to successfully complete a public offering which netted about US$30 million.
  Positive clinical trials will begin to encourage investment
  While still in their early stages of development - and with clinical trials having only involved a limited number of patients - reports to date
  have been very promising, and provide further validation for encouraging investment in stem cell therapeutics. For example, data from a
  human embryonic stem cell trial conducted by Advanced Cell Technology and published in medical journal The Lancet, showed that
  two patients with Stargardt's disease, a degenerative eye condition, had regained some vision.
  In addition, positive early data from a spinal cord injury trial involving StemCells' neural stem cells indicated that two patients with no
  feeling below the site of injury were able to regain sensation, while in another study from the company, patients with a rare myelination
  disorder were able to create myelin, an advance that holds promise for treating multiple sclerosis and cerebral palsy.
  This scientific progress has helped breath a new sense of optimism into the US stem cell sector. The Fiscal Cliff apart, it seems likely
  this momentum will continue now Obama has secured a second term.

  For taping in Cambridge? For breakfast and taping at my house. Depends on what woody is up for. My ideal would be a 1/2 hour-40 minute conversation, but we could do a quick taping in 15 minutes ...my team can be ready
  And , just to remind,could also come to do taping in ny on 24th because I'm coming to New York the evening of 23rd for a YIVO event--to which you would both be most welcome I'm sure (YIVO is the largest collection of materials from Jewish Eastern Europe)

  Is Clinton willing to say he was not there? Btw, I've just filed a column for USA Today for Monday explaining how Dershowitz and Andrew allegations were picked up from unverified civil court docs, transferred to UK tabs, which go wild because of no libel rules on U.S. court papers, and then translated back here as "reported fact." Problem with story is that tabs are too invested in present story line, and unlikely that the Times or WSJ will want to touch it--tho, depending on who is willing to on record, they might. There is another politico reporter I know who might do it, again, if the on-the-record sources are public people. Or, I will use it for New York Magazine, but that won't be until Feb.

People now don't wear Tuxedos anymore. Christoph wear's normal black trouseres with a white shirt and a dar sakko because he doesn't want to be in any crazy stuff on all the pics. Half oft he people oft he gala dinenr also waer some ‘little’ crazy stuff like pink velvet sakkos Cand a mask for later) or so. girls: Crazy as you like. There are a lot of atrists that are really dressed up. I will wear a quiet see-through short dress with high high heels+ a chanel Tatoo and will take a face mask fort he ball later.

  So I hope this helped at least a little bit. For pics got to: lifeball.org

  Friday night: we would like to invite you all for dinner and will organize a nice place with a cool bar. Aress follows. Pls let me know who wants to join!!

  Sunday: I'm very sure we'll be dead :-) BUT we would like to invite you to our house/garden/pool Cswimmwear) for brunch starting at 11. Furfanggasse 4, 1190 wien. From hotel Sachen max. 15 min with Taxi. If you fly late we can walk from our house to one oft he famous Austrian heurigen ...and get some more alcholic to drink :-) :-)

  Tonja--

  The National ENQUIRER is preparing to publish a story that Bill Clinton used a private "orgy" jet to travel to
  Brunei for an extraordinary dinner with a royal accused of duping American women into "white slavery."

  The ENQUIRER will report that Bill was accompanied by the 727's owner, billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein,
  when he landed in the tiny South-East Asian country on May 25, 2002. His entourage also included two
  women who allegedly worked as "madams" for Epstein, luring teenaged girls into sex trysts with the tycoon
  and his powerful and famous friends.

  According to The ENQUIRER's investigation, Bill spent the day playing golf at a seven-star hotel -- and then was
  invited to dine with Brunei's sultan, Hassanal Bolkiah .....who was charged with holding a deeply-religious
  Christian beauty queen as a "human chattel." Far from being embarrassed by the ruler’s tawdry

  reputation, moreover, records for Bill’s nonprofit foundation reveal that Brunei made a donation towards his
  Clinton Presidential Library that year of between $1 million and $5 million.

  Please kindly attempt to provide any comment by 4 pm ET tomorrow, Friday January 30th to Lachlan

  Cartwright, Executive Editor, at EE [Office] 0 I.

  Dear Mr. Lefkowitz,

  Here are the questions I'd like to ask Jeffrey Epstein.
  would he be available to answer any of these on the
  phone or by email? People have told me some of his
  thoughts on background but I wanted to see if he could
  tell me or email me anything directly I could use on
  the record. Also I'd like to run the information I
  already have by you or him.

  Thank you,
  Alexandra

  -what is he chiefly focusing on now? Is he spending
  more time on The Jeffrey Epstein Science Foundation?
  Could he talk about his interest in science and the
  2011 grants/conference?

  -How has his business been affected? Is there any new
  direction he's taking it? Does he still have the same
  clients or new ones? Is it still at $15 billion?

  -Did he still work while in prison? How was that
  arranged? with whom was he working/advising?

  -where is he spending his time now? How has his social
  life changed from three years ago?

  -Is he still close with Ghislaine Maxwell?

  -what were friends/colleagues/acquaintances reactions
  to his conviction?

  -what does he think about the sentence he got- was it
  too lenient or too harsh and why?

  GOP fundraiser Broidy under investigation
  for alleged effort to sell government
  influence, people familiar with probe say

  Carol D. Leonnig

  The Justice Department is investigating whether longtime Republican fundraiser Elliott
  Broidy sought to sell his influence with the Trump administration by offering to deliver U.S.
  government actions for foreign officials in exchange for tens of millions of dollars,
  according to three people familiar with the probe.

  As part of the investigation, prosecutors are scrutinizing a plan that Broidy allegedly
  developed to try to persuade the Trump government to extradite a Chinese dissident back to
  his home country, a move sought by Chinese President Xi Jinping, according to two of the
  people.

  They are also investigating claims that Broidy sought $75 million from a Malaysian business
  official if the Justice Department ended its investigation of a development fund run by the
  Malaysian government. The Malaysian probe has examined the role of the former prime
  minister in the embezzlement of billions of dollars from the fund.

  Jeffrey --

  Did you see my son’s email on Sunday?

  I was so proud to see him speak at the Women’s March this weekend, joining thousands of
  passionate Floridians who want real change in our state, and across the country.

  But we both know that change doesn’t come easy. And there are a lot of folks in Tallahassee
  that want to keep things the same as usual.

  We can’t afford the status quo so they can have their way. We need leadership that will
  bring the change that so many have been marching for over the past year.

  Can I count on you to help my son bring that change to Tallahassee?

  Click here to join his campaign today, and help him do the right thing for our
  neighbors across the state.

  Mr. Epstein, 
  We currently have two negatives on first page in Google but one is at 6th and the other at 7th. (Universal 
  search, no history applied). Results will be very different if that PC has been used to click or search any of the 
  results and has not been cleared. 
  How did you pull the results you just sent? 
  Using Google Chrome + InCognito Mode + Clearing Browser Cache = only reliable reporting. I can help set 
  you up with this. Screenshot here of results using above method - http://i.imgur.com/tfGN3Zi.png. This is the 
  true representation of what your average searcher will find (statistically, most searches will be from users whom 
  have not clicked on your negative articles before) 
  Much progress has been made since we spoke - premium placements are getting secured over next week, 
  hundreds of links have been built to your primary sites and the first movements are kicking in today (NYMag 
  moved up to 4th a few hours ago). We still have confidence we are on the right track and doing everything we 
  can to get this cleaned up - another 45 days should be enough to have a clean first page based on what has been 
  done. 
  PS - The foundation site was just hacked and I'm in the process of fixing that today. You can actually see it in 
  the screenshot above (it reads Cash Advance advertisement in the short-description). This is something a 
  previous company deployed but we are now going through and securing the rest of the domains to prevent basic 
  hijacks like this. 
  I'm free on my cell for next few hours.

  Erdogan Rising: The Battle for the Soul of Turkey

  More than 15 years before Trump ascended to the presidency, Turkey was the crucible for the new, authoritarian populism shaking the globe. Now, as elections in Istanbul suggest support for Erdogan's regime may be crumbling, Times correspondents Hannah Lucinda Smith and Antony Loyd turn to the future of Turkey's ailing democracy - and consider the lessons for the rest of the world.

  PLEASE READ CAREFULLY ,
  Mark was here this morning , the proposed transactions are extremely complex . and would take a great
  deal of detailed time. I do not know how, and if ,to move forward - our last transaction. a transaction
  which you saved 600 million in tax. even if as you say it could be 20 years away , ( 1 hope longer)
  discounted to today is a savings of 300 million . for some reason you chose to ignore our agreements ,
  verbal written and emailed -and decided that it was only worth 8 million dollars to you. . ( assuming
  phaidon -richard happens. the calculation that you can see isa 24m savings not including artspace and
  debt benefits- certain to come later .. IMPORTANT NOTE

  the phaidon transaction as currently contemplated will not work . NOT CLOSE

  When we had our meeting in your home in Bedford. You asked me for my help. I told you multiple
  times that i thought it was a very bad idea, in that I greatly preferred to have no financial interactions. I
  don't have many friends and didn't want money in any way to interfere with our unique relationship.
  Reminder, For five years you had the kind, but very goofy Eileen Alexandersson as the sole manager of
  your massive accounting , legal, investments. reporting, trusts etc. When I first told you in no uncertain
  terms that I firmly believed she was incompetent you admonished me for " speaking out of both sides of
  my mouth". With regard Brad Wechsler , there has never been a " both sides. ". I have consistantly
  maintained since day one that he was highly unsuited for the job. When you initially asked me to help
  convince him to take the role , promising him a position to manage mirage investments I sent you a note
  saying that instead of hiring him you should pay up and get first class people. I have reiterated the same
  message for over a year now. . Brad , not me ,was tasked with hiring new people , according to his biz
  school org chart.(nauseating ) and as you wanted him to take ownership of the staff,he conducted many
  interviews alone. . you may recall that as late as may, you told him in my presence that though six months
  had passed he had not hired anyone. since then I have rectified errors in sales tax, use tax, income tax,
  fbar reporting, 1031 reporting, 8 million of deductions missed errors of millions on the returns. a cashflow
  that is misleading helped prepare financial statements ( april ) Oversight on new grats- first at 22 and
  then at 19 that were done without my consultation and were "resolved" soley as a result of my last
  minute intervention. . 600 million in after tax savings was just accomplished. (BTW- for some reason you
  left the 30 million outstanding that I had said should only be done" if" that was my additional fee. and not
  used for non biz purposes and not art.

  Sorry but .,

  in June and then again Sept, we both agreed to a 50% of phaidon payout first projected at 20 . but less
  when artspace and debt taken out, - then only after weeks, when you delayed any detailed discussion of
  money wanting to give the issue a thoughtful response ( which I fully understand ) . you unilaterally
  changed our agreement.. 5m would be reserved for the future ? . and out of the remaining 15m ,? 1
  would receive only a third. ( note : I'm confident that both the debt , and the art space investment will also
  lead to a write- off of another 30 m. plus ) In my dining room ,you were surprised when I said that 1
  require most people to pay their advisory fee up front so that I am assured that I will be properly
  compensated for my work when strategies are implemented . you may recall that you appeared offended
  and said " are you suggesting that i would go back on my word" I said no , of course not ! you are my
  closest of friends ,but my experience is that when amounts get large, people tend to get unhappy when it
  actually comes time for them to pay.

  I include below the email i sent to you on April 15, the day i was examining your returns It laid out
  my understanding of the compensation agreed for a transaction of the magnitude to the penny of the one
  just completed.ie 600m When it appeared that the transcation would and could go foward I was the

  Sexual harassment and Lawrence Krauss
  Hi,

  We are journalists at BuzzFeed News, reporting an investigation about sexual harassment
  allegations against Lawrence Krauss between 2006 to 2016.

  Much of the story revolves around his conduct in the skeptics movement, and about how skeptic
  organizations — particularly CFI — have handled complaints about his behavior.

  We wanted to give you — as a leader of the atheist movement and one of Krauss’s collaborators —
  the opportunity to comment on these allegations.

  We plan to publish on Tuesday morning. Let us know soon if you'd like to comment.

  Hi,

  The campaign team is starting to come together. We are continuing discussions with Jim and tomorrow we will meet him face to face on skype. We will brief him on the situation here so that he will be able to advice us more effectively. Already he has sent some very useful suggestions and we are working on them. Getting the right people to head various aspects on the campaign is difficult here but we should be able to pull the team together shortly.

  We will need some more help from Ian and Rory because we are still weak on international communication. Some old negative stuff keeps coming up in the Guardian newspaper in England. But most of the international media is not paying much attention to Maldives right now.

  I have asked Rory to help find a full time communications guy to stay here for about a year to work with me. He doesn't have to be an expert, just a good graduate student would do. Some really positive stuff is also happening now and we need the world to know about them.

  World Energy Forum and CGI guys are here. I am meeting Clinton people in a few minutes.

  I have some funding now but will ask all friends to help raise more later when things start happening in full swing. Election is now scheduled to early September.

  Hope all is well and look forward to seeing you here in the not too distant future.

  Warm regards,
  Waheed

  Jeffrey,

  Need your advice.

  My finance minister is telling me that he has an anonymous funds manager who is willing to deposit 4 billion dollars in Maldives and that they are willing to lend a percentage of that in exchange for government promissory notes. The 4 billion would be deposited in the Central Bank. But they want us to set up a special purpose vehicle, a construction company fully owned by the government to receive the loan. Such a company can only be set up under a presidential decree.

  I am also told that the funds manager would be charging Maldives upfront a certain percentage of the amount lent.

  I don't feel I have enough information on this. I don't know who is this funds manager. They always want the finance minister to meet them in Bangkok or some place outside. Why would anyone want to deposit such a large amount here when we don't have a credit rating and public debt is so high. I feel very uncomfortable about this.

  What do you think I should do. I am very uncomfortable. In addition to the finance minister, a leading politician and leader of the coalition parliamentary group is behind it. He could be my leading contender for presidency.

  Does this sound all ridiculous to you. I have a strange feeling about this whole thing.

  Best regards
  Waheed

THe following from the fraud site. --The essential fact in all advance-fee fraud operations is that the promised money transfer never happens—because the money does not exist. The perpetrators rely on the fact that, by the time the victim realizes this (often only after being confronted by a third party who has noticed the transactions or conversation and recognized the scam), the victim may have sent thousands of dollars of their own money, and sometimes thousands or millions more that has been borrowed or stolen, to the scammer via an untraceable and/or irreversible means such as wire transfer.f131 Stay away, however if you want to embarass your possible opponent , you might set it up so that he looks like a fool, ask for amemo of why he thinks you should agree, have it include as many detials as possible, so that when you prove its a fraud„ you will make him look very silly as opposed to his saying , you missed an opportunity, anyway„ glad you are well

  Obama to Nominate Loretta Lynch as U.S. Attorney General

  President Obama will nominate Loretta E. Lynch, the top federal prosecutor in Brooklyn, to succeed Eric H. Holder Jr. as attorney general, people close to the process said Friday.

  If confirmed, she would be the first African-American woman to serve as the nation's top law enforcement official.

  She would also be a rare instance of Mr. Obama's reaching outside his inner circle to fill a crucial post.

  My initial estimate, given to me by Pablos, was 25, and that was based solely on his quick look at the situation, and not knowing what was really out there. In fact, as I have repeated many times, the job was far far worse that originally expected, you have a dedicated group of people trying to undo and damage you, including now, they have started up in the last week full force again, as it is obvious that they can't fux with your wiki page any more as we blocked that.. The woman from the Daily Beast. We have programs that track this stuff, and so, for the past few days, Mike has been having a cyber war with her minions, who are actively trying to undo what we are doing, as she is trying to push her Daily beast and other articles back up. So, we have to go back and push them back down.

  Then, there was the issue of trying to create additionally on you a positive web presence, with the science and org sites.

  I spend literally four months of non-stop work, creativity, and my own political capital to getyou this so far, which saved you not only time, but countless dollars, and isn't something that can be readily bought. I had people working also for free. I gained access to information that standard seo companies don't have. In addition, I wasted a lot of time talking to people who promise to help, but end up providing nothing, and so, I end up having to do it myself. What do I get in return, constant back slapping to my head...

  We were trying to fix up your mess. I didn't create it. Just thought it would be something to help. This was NEVER about trying to pull money out of you, and fact, we have don't everything possible to keep the costs down considerably.

  I must talk to you about the island thing asap. When can we do that?

  As you are well aware, There is little I won't do for you, or at least try to do as a friend, and a great
  deal that I have already done ( both known and some things that willneed to remain unknown.) Our
  arrangement was for me to architect sophisticated structures that would be beneficial to you. that is what
  I have done and will continue do in order to fulfill my obligations under our agreement. The
  discovered fact that you in reality need an entire family office built from scratch has been trying I have
  aleady agreed de- facto to try to help. I would suggest that Phaidons payroll and attention pales in
  importance to your personal structure,which has taken a back seat, Some of = my suggestions regarding
  the Eystum office are as follows you will need a budget of 3- 5 million per year. CEO 1 million, new
  tax person to work with rich, 250. new bookkeeper ,200 new paralegal to work with ADA ALan etc ,
  coordinating with Apollo, Akin , paul weiss , new acct openings , sec filings , sales tax review, etc.
  $150. art point person. loan , inventory, purchasing support, $?? software servers. video conferencing,
  tax oversight.

  I believe You should rapidly address trustees , gift trust, succesion, wills of debra and children, ,
  monetization events , cash flow. etc I can ofcourse share my experiences with you on each issue.

  WIth regard the more pressing issue I am uncertain of just how to proceed. I am torn, as my very
  strong inclination is not to be involved at all . It is extremely time consuming, delicate, fraught with many
  pitfall many that will make you very upset and a major pain in the ass. I wrote you months ago that the
  quality of the people involved need to be upgraded. ( lucky for me these last issues arose way before the
  begining of my involvement ) Iam also aware however of my overarching friendship obligations of ok, -
  given all the complexities who else can do it? problem.

  Your family office needs a daddy. children with good intentions are running around , sniping , nitpicking
  with little direction. As a stopgap measure I am suggesting , we put in Larry Delson to take charge
  Everyone would report to him. eileen included. He would however work for me. this is not, by a long
  shot my first choice as I prefer only being responsible and standing behind my own personal work (ie
  the word DONE will no longer be transmitted to reflect status stated by others )

  With no commitment on my part whatsoever, to do it. So far as I have failed in my attempt in trying to
  think through the problem creatively . My organizations handling of the more complex isssues I believe
  you might find very costly, very ! ( however many structures available some risk sharing, maybe risk caps
  ,etc ) but would require my teams doing the work , not yours. Ada should be only a trust, grat
  administrator. not sure what role you prefer for Eileen as you hired her initially to oversee investments.
  whether Rich your controller stays or not, is not urgent. having Tom report to a new person.- is.

  Donald Trump says he has foreign policy experience because he ran the Miss Universe pageant in Russia

  Hillary Clinton lambasted Donald Trump's foreign policy platform as "dangerously incoherent" in a speech on
  Thursday that cast her Republican rival as both a dangerous and laughable figure.

  A former U.S. secretary of state, Clinton attacked Trump for his policies and his character, suggesting Trump
  might start a nuclear war if elected to the White House simply because "someone got under his very thin skin."
  "Donald Trump's ideas are not just different, they are dangerously incoherent,” she said to a room of supporters
  in San Diego, California. "They're not even really ideas, just a series of bizarre rants, personal feuds and
  outright lies.”

  © Mike Blake U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton delivers a speech on national
  security in San Diego, California, United States June 2, 2016.

  Clinton, the front-runner in the race to become the Democratic presidential nominee, delivered her speech as
  she seeks to shift her attention to the Nov. 8 election against likely rival Trump and away from Bernie Sanders,
  a U.S. senator from Vermont, who is continuing his longshot bid for the nomination.

  Trump, the Republicans’ presumptive nominee, has said he would sit down with North Korean leader Kim Jong
  Un to try to stop Pyongyang's nuclear program and has criticized the decades-old NATO alliance with mainly
  European nations as obsolete and too costly for the United States.

  Clinton derided these and other positions, promising she would do a better job keeping the United States safe
  and standing in front of a backdrop of 19 large U.S. flags, an unusual abundance even by the standards of
  presidential campaign events.

  Trump, a billionaire businessman who has never held elected office or worked in government before, says he
  has experience dealing with foreign governments through setting up hotels, resorts, golf courses and beauty
  pageants in foreign countries. Clinton, who is also a former U.S. senator and former first lady, mocked this.
  "He says he has foreign policy experience because he ran the Miss Universe pageant in Russia," she said to loud
  laughter.

  Trump has talked tough on foreign policy. He has said he would bring back waterboarding and other brutal
  interrogation techniques for terrorism suspects that are widely regarded as torture and were discontinued by
  Democratic President Barack Obama.

  He has also vowed to renegotiate trade deals, called for a temporary ban on Muslims entering the country, and
  said he would ask members of the 28-nation NATO alliance to "pay up” or "get out.”

  Trump has criticized Clinton for her handling of foreign policy during her 2009-2013 stint as foreign secretary,
  including the Sept. 11, 2012, attack by Islamist militants on a U.S. diplomatic facility in Benghazi, Libya, that
  killed the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans.

  He cites Clinton's support for the Iraq war - launched by former Republican President George W. Bush - as
  another example of her shortcomings.

  Ata rally Wednesday night in Sacramento, California, Trump said he had seen a copy of Clinton's speech and
  "it was such lies about my foreign policy."

  Mr. Weinberg — 
  I am a reporter with the ABC News investigative unit. We are gathering background research on the major 
  candidates for President. 
  Seeing that both former President Clinton and Mr. Trump have been mentioned in connection to the Jeffrey 
  Epstein case, I am interested in better understanding the case, it's current status, and any information that 
  could help explain Mr. Epstein's dealings and interactions with both men. 
  I would very much appreciate the chance to meet and discuss this subject in an off the record conversation at 
  your earliest convenience. 
  Please let me know if that would be possible, and if so, when and where we could meet. 
  Many thanks, 
  Matthew

  Global Asset Allocation 

  ________________________________

  The J.P. Morgan View: Local forces are dominating

  *   Asset allocation –– Local risks and opportunities trump global forces in driving investment opportunities. Cross-market correlations to remain much lower than in recent years. 

  *   Economics –– US activity data are coming in better than hoped, but we need another 1-2 months to see how consumers are responding to higher taxes.    

  *   Fixed Income –– Search for carry to trump Euro area jitters over time.

  *   Equities –– Japan remains our main country overweight.  

  *   Credit –– We OW covered bonds in the Euro periphery over senior bank bonds and subordinated vs senior bank bonds in the core.

  *   Currencies –– Cyprus to have minimal further impact on EUR, but a ECB rate cut would push it a few cents lower versus the dollar.

  *   Commodities –– Stay long Brent and short gasoline. 

  *   US stocks continue to gain, with the benchmark S&P500 breaching its all time high level today in a gentle fashion. Bonds are generally up this week on dovish comments from both the Fed and the BoJ. Commodities have gained also, but credit remains the troubled asset class with spreads wider in most markets, especially in EM external debt. 

  *   Our overall investment theme remains that there is no overarching global investment theme anymore this year but instead a number of unrelated local forces that have largely local impact. The generalized asset reflation we saw last year, with risk premia coming down consistently across the globe and asset classes, was due to a gradual fading of tail risks that has since been largely completed. “Risk-on, risk- off is so last year”. 

  *   In addition, we are seeing no momentum either way in global growth, price or earnings expectations that could put us into a bullish or bearish growth story. Our 2.4% projection for 2013 world economic growth is unchanged since November. YTD activity data for the world are tracking our 2.6% forecast for Q1, comfortably up from the dismal 1.6% in Q4 of last year. Amidst offsetting up- and downside surprises in the US and Japan versus Europe, there has been no reason yet to raise the growth profile for the year as a whole. We hope, but need evidence first.

  *   Without a global growth or fading-of-tail-risks force, we are left with a set of local issues and opportunities that are having a local impact, at the regional, asset class and company level, that should leave the rest of the world largely unmoved. In this environment, correlations across regions and risk markets should remain significantly lower than in past years. Various markets may seem to behave “inconsistently” with others, but we caution against expecting simple mean reversion, given our view of the reduced impact of global factors. Active investors should pay more attention to local fundamentals while long-term investors can expect to achieve greater gains from cross-market and international diversification.

  *   Local issues must be monitored and understood, though, to decide how to allocate capital and risk. Just to review a few, Japanese policy makers continue to present a concerted plan to reflate their economy through monetary, fiscal and structural measures. The strong control of the government and its high approval rating are steadily raising the chance of success. We stay overweight Japanese equities and grow wary of the short yen trade, as capital inflows and rising growth expectations (chart of right) are ultimately bullish for the currency. Watch next week’s BoJ meeting, led by newly appointed Governor Kuroda, for new reflationary measures.  

  *   The Euro area economy remains in recession, while policy makers are making little effort to reverse the contraction. We monitor signs of any large deposit flight post Cyprus over coming weeks and months to judge whether the bailout may actually be worsening conditions in the Euro. Economic forecast momentum remains negative (chart of right). These are good reasons to underweight the Euro area, if not all of Europe, across asset classes, against the rest of the world. 

  *   The US, in contrast, is seeing better spending from both corporates and consumers than we could have expected post Fiscal Cliff and sequestration. But given the huge amount of fiscal drag, which is a fact, we want to see another 1-2 months of data before extrapolating the good news. It did support US equities in recent weeks, which continue to benefit from US corporates issuing debt to buy their own shares and others', through M&A. This corporate rotation from debt to equities is almost exclusively a US flow, which helps explain US equity outperformance. 

  *   Across risk assets, we are similarly seeing huge delinking, with equities rallying greatly and commodities and credit seeing no gains (chart p. 1), very much unlike last year. Commodities are delinking as there are no growth upgrades in EM, and inflation concerns are concentrated on two countries, UK and Japan. Credit is delinking as most investors are massively overweight credit versus equities, as evidenced by the disparity in buying flows in 2011-12. Relevering by US corporate and the Fed debating the end of QE are signaling that the 3-decade long rally in bonds is likely over. Investors are starting to dollar-average away from bonds to equities. 

  Fixed Income

  *   Bonds rallied again, except for Euro area peripherals, the source of this week’s market concerns. The imposition of capital controls on Cypriot deposits is to be sure a watershed moment, but for now not one we expect to spark significant deposit withdrawals elsewhere. Meanwhile, the most likely outcome to the Italian impasse appears to be new elections in the autumn. With seemingly little prospect of a material rise in yields on the safest assets, we think the search for carry evident across the full gamut of asset markets will see peripheral spreads narrow over time. 

  *   Ten-year JGB yields have rallied to within a few bps of their all-time low, ahead of next week’s inaugural meeting for the new BoJ leadership. We do indeed expect aggressive easing, with JGB purchases out to 30 years, but think this will be trumped by profit taking in JGBs after the fiscal year end. 

  *   Our latest Inflation Expectations Survey (F. Diamond, K. Gupta) was out yesterday. One interesting result is that almost 90% of respondents believe the BoJ has less than a 50/50 shot of hitting its 2% inflation target in two years, a reflection of the formidable challenge of sparking inflation expectations after two decades of falling prices. 

  Equities

  *   The global rally in equity markets slowed this week, but did not reverse, on continued concerns about the fallout from a poorly executed Cyprus solution. The Euro area underperformed again, for a second week in a row.  As discussed last week, we view Cyprus as a local problem that we address by underweighting Euro area equities in a global portfolio. A potential negative feedback loop from markets to the economy poses a serious downside risk for Euro area growth over coming months prolonging the current run of negative economic surprises from the region.

  *   Japan is the region we like the most. In our mind the Japanese equity trade has further legs not only due to prospective BoJ balance sheet expansion but more importantly due to a reform agenda to be unveiled into the summer.  

  *   EM equities are suffering from renewed policy tightening in major EM economies such as Brazil and China. Investors have bitter memories of previous property tightening measures in China. As within DM, we see a lot of divergences within EM and prefer to focus on under-owned markets with good domestic demand story such as Mexico and Malaysia.  See “Consensus Asset Allocation”, Adrian Mowat and team, Mar 26th. Open overweights in Mexican and Malaysia equities vs MSCI EM.

  *   For long-term investors we just released our quarterly publication "Trade opportunities for long term investors" Mar 27. We monetize risk premia in Value stocks via a long in S&P500 Value vs S&P500 ETFs. It appears that a five year long underperformance of Value stocks has come to an end. We take profit on trades that monetize skew risk premia in S&P500 due to sharp contraction over the past quarter. We continue to monetize equity risk premia via buying high dividend yield equity ETFs against USTs. Our preference is to buy ETFs which track the S&P US Preferred stock due to its high yield, around 6%, and its high weight on Financials. 

  Credit

  *   The news flow from the Cypriot bailout continued to push spreads wider and vol higher this week, with European Financials underperforming as creditor bail-in risks returned to the forefront. iTraxx senior and subordinated financials indices widened 20bp as investors sought to hedge via CDS rather than sell bonds. European credit continued to underperformed US credit.

  *   The fact that Cypriot banks debt is only 1.3% of total liabilities was a key factor in the decision to bail-in depositors. Yet events surrounding the banking sector restructuring also suggest that keeping senior unsecured bondholders immune from costly bail-outs is politically untenable. This removes the implicit ‘cover’ that senior bonds holders have enjoyed and has increased speculation that implementation of the bail-in proposals under the EU’s Resolution & Recovery Directive (RRD) will be brought forward to 2015 from the current 2018 time-frame.

  *   As such, our colleagues in European Credit have examined the implications of changing recovery rate expectations across the bank capital structure. Assuming that covered bonds remain outside the scope of the proposals, we expect senior bank bond spreads to widen relative to covered bonds and prefer being OW covered bonds vs senior bonds in the periphery, particularly in Spain where covered bonds have first claim over the entire mortgage book of the bank. From a relative value point of view, we also suggest owning subordinated bank bonds vs senior bank bonds in the core as, under the new RRD regime, there is a higher probability than before that senior bank bond holders will lose money and this risk is, in our mind, not yet in the price (Rethinking the capital structure, R. Henriques et al., Mar 27).

  Foreign Exchange

  *   Today’s research note, Sacrificing Cyprus, examines several presumptions which have arisen over the past two weeks due to the Cyprus crisis, and scores them on a scale of truths, half-truths and falsehoods. There are indeed some right conclusions to draw from this experience, but also some wrong ones. As examples, it is true that capital controls have created a two-tier euro, but very unlikely that Cyprus is exiting EMU. And while it is true that markets deserve a risk premium for policy uncertainty, the size of the premium should be much lower than in previous crises due to backstops like the OMT.

  *   For example, during the first Greek crisis in May 2010 EUR undershot by 10% relative to cyclical conditions at that time, and during Greek elections in May 2012 the currency undershot by 5%. The combination of Italian and Cypriot events have eliminated the euro’s overvaluation from early 2013, when the currency spiked to the high $1.30s on a presumption that LTRO funds would be repaid rapidly, driving European rates higher. The currency is now close to fair value, so carries no risk premium for contagion. The message is similar in vol markets: the 1% premium for 3-mo implied versus realized vol is far less than the 5% premium witnessed during previous crises. 

  *   While there is no evidence that the EUR/USD cash or options market carries a risk premium, it is also true that the required premium should probably be far less than in previous crises given that a sovereign funding backstop like the OMT is in place. We are thus reluctant to extrapolate this mini-crisis into a systemic event which triggers broad deleveraging, or to forecast trend euro weakness. The currency could trade down a couple of cents around an ECB rate cut, but assuming that fears around Cyprus contagion pass in a month or two, the currency should reverse its recent decline by the summertime. 

  Commodities 

  *   Commodities rallied this week, up almost 2%, led by energy. We went tactically long Brent in last week’s J.P. Morgan View as we believed that the correction in oil markets had brought prices too far below our price forecast of $112/bbl. Since then Brent is up around 1.5%. We stay long and expect further price appreciation over coming months. We are also short gasoline vs. Brent. Gasoline cracks (the premium for gasoline over crude prices) spiked over the first three months of the year due to a combination of low inventories and refinery closures that came during refinery maintenance season. As refinery maintenance comes to a close and demand falls seasonally, gasoline prices should fall relative to Brent. 

  *   We went long Soybean time spreads late last year (GMOS, Dec 5) on a view that much higher Brazilian supplies would find it difficult to leave the country due to logistical constraints. Since then we have seen a record number of ships planning to load soybeans in Brazilian ports and this number is still rising. The average waiting time before loading is also rising, now 38 days compared to 26 days a month ago. This has caused the front Soybean contract to rally while longer maturity contracts have been depressed by the much higher than normal supply inside the country. The spread between the May-13 and Jul-13 contracts has doubled since we put the trade on in December. We stay long as we think these logistical issues are unlikely to be resolved anytime soon.
