Will the Housing Market Crash, Economic Collapse and Stock Market Crash Happen in 2017? The economic forecast for 2017 is more than bleak, and there is more than enough economic data out there to show there could be an economic collapse, housing market crash and stock market crash in 2017.

The economic collapse and stock market crash worse than 2008 is coming. This is the first time in history that there has been in everything bubble. The year 2000 it was stocks in the year 2008 it was stocks and real estate this time it is stocks real estate and bonds and they're all in some of the biggest bubbles of all time.
The Economic Doomsday is here. The second financial bubble is going to soon burst, and there’s nothing anyone can do about it. The Federal Reserve has set up the American economy for financial collapse for printing trillions of dollars back in 2008 and 2009. The next crash is coming, and the decision by central banks to paper over their economy's troubles with a massive injection of debt likely means that the next economic collapse and stock market crash is already overdue.
“The Federal Reserve’s policies of printing trillions of dollars back in ’08-09 have locked into place a serious financial crisis at some point in our future,” Going so far as to intimate the financial collapse and market crash will occur at least some time in the next two years, “It’s unavoidable, and even Donald Trump can’t stop it.”
Top economists predict that within the next 18-24 months, the imminent economic collapse will happen. The Federal Reserve has set up the American economy for financial collapse and market crash for printing trillions of dollars back in 2008 and 2009.

Mayors' Agenda Out from U.S. Conference of Mayors 2017 in Miami

Mayors Say: Look To Cities For Inspired Leadership And Real Results In The Face Of Deep National Frustration With Washington
Source: https://www.usmayors.org/2017/06/24
MIAMI BEACH— Incoming U.S. Conference of Mayors (USCM) President Mayor Mitch Landrieu of New Orleans joined dozens of mayors from across the country to urge Americans to move past Washington’s stalled partisan gridlock and instead, look locally for leadership that governs with vision and delivers results.

The bipartisan group unveiled Leadership for America: Mayors’ Agenda for the Future,
BLOGGER NOTE: It's 44 pages] (Twitter hashtag #MayorsAgenda) a policy proposal that will fix our crumbling infrastructure, ensure quality affordable healthcare, promote safe and secure communities, expand our workforce to drive economic growth and create equitable communities to increase opportunity for all.

 

LEADERSHIP FOR AMERICA

MAYORS' AGENDA FOR THE FUTURE

Each mayor pointed forcefully to the results occurring in their cities and towns each day in a time of paralysis and dysfunction in Washington  that

encourage economic innovation,

deliver quality affordable healthcare

spur creation of good-paying jobs and keep the country moving forward

Link to Mayor's Agenda > http://mayorsagenda.com/

Successful mayors combine real results and transformative vision – delivered in real time. That’s leadership.

Incoming USCM President Mayor Mitch Landrieu of New Orleans had this to say:

“We are being called upon in a chaotic moment to bring certainty, calm and sobriety to the most complicated issues facing our country. As mayors, and as we have always done, we will show up as duty calls, and will deliver every day: if we don’t produce then we haven’t succeeded. This is a group of great leaders who don’t just talk about what to do, but know how to do it – and actually get it done,”

 

MartyWalsh, Mayor of Boston, had this to say:

“The debate on healthcare in our country is bigger than either political party, . . It’s bigger than the President, Congress, or any branch of government. It’s because the right to healthcare is a basic and human right.”

Mesa Mayor John Giles only had this to say in a quotation from the news report: 

“Healthcare is not a partisan issue, and any mayor knows that cities can’t take clinics and emergency rooms full of uninsured patients, . .  When the federal government fumbles, city governments and city residents suffer the consequences.”
QUESTION: Can we here in Mesa look to Mayor John Giles for inspired leadership?
How's he doing on these objectives from Mayors' Agenda? 
For our nation and cities to thrive, we must build equitable communities.
Just and fair inclusion must be incorporated into the fabric of our communities and across all policy areas, including economic development, education, criminal justice, civic participation, housing, and health care. Through equitable growth strategies that ensure all residents and neighborhoods become more connected to their regional economies, we can tackle poverty, lift up our most distressed neighborhoods and residents, and increase economic security and mobility for all.

 

President Bill Clinton offered the day’s keynote: A Celebration of City Livability, honoring the great work mayors across the country are doing to make their hometowns more equitable places to live.



 

Beleagured Mayors To Get A Stronger $200 Million Hand From Bloomberg

Bloomberg Will Spend $200 Million to Boost Mayors

Michael Bloomberg “will throw his financial might into helping beleaguered American mayors, creating a $200 million philanthropic program aimed at backing inventive policies at the city level and giving mayors a stronger hand in national politics,” the New York Times reports.

“Mr. Bloomberg intends to announce the initiative on Monday in a speech to the United States Conference of Mayors in Miami Beach, where he will castigate federal officials and state governments around the country for undermining cities."

Excerpts from New York Tmes 

. . . he will castigate federal officials and state governments around the country for undermining cities. He plans to describe the program, called the American Cities Initiative, as a method of shoring up the global influence of the United States despite turmoil in Washington.

A wealthy former mayor of New York who seriously explored running for president in 2016 as an independent, Mr. Bloomberg, 75, has embraced a public role since the election as a kind of elite-level organizer against certain policies of the Trump administration.

In an interview, Mr. Bloomberg said his city-focused initiative would serve in part as an extension of his advocacy for national policies that address climate change, gun violence, public health and immigration. That largely liberal agenda is aligned with the growing aspirations of big-city mayors, who are mainly Democrats and who have vowed to check conservative mandates emerging from Washington by using their power at the local level.

Michael Bloomberg Will Give Millions to Mayors With Ideas to Sidestep Trump

Bloomberg's offer, the Times reports, is part of a $200 million program called the American Cities Initiative that Bloomberg plans to announce Monday in a speech to the United States Conference of Mayors, in Miami Beach.

As part of the initiative, majors are asked to submit compelling city-level policy proposals. In return, the city leaders could win six- to seven-figure grants to run an experiment in their own cities. . .

In an interview with the Times. Bloomberg, the one-time mayor of New York City who seriously considered running for president in 2016, said that the initiative would be a way (in the Times' wording) "to shore up the global influence of the United States despite turmoil in Washington."

 

What Happens When Cities Make Homelessness a Crime: Hiding The Homeless

Published on Nov 23, 2015

A growing number of American cities are ticketing or arresting homeless people for essentially being homeless. The new laws ban behavior commonly associated with homelessness like reclining in public, sharing food or sitting on a sidewalk.

Supporters argue these measures are necessary to push homeless people into the shelter system and maintain public safety. Critics say the laws violate the rights of homeless people and ignore the more complicated drivers of homelessness like mental illness.

We found homeless people camping in the woods to escape police harassment, a homelessness consultant opposed to feeding homeless people and a city that uses solitary confinement to force homeless people into shelters.

VICE News began its investigation in Boise, ID, where a group of homeless people have filed a federal lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of these laws. Their case could change the way homeless people are treated across the country.

Wikileaks Vault 7 Releases Another CIA Hacking Tool

Brutal Kangaroo

22 June, 2017

Today, June 22nd 2017, WikiLeaks publishes documents from the Brutal Kangaroo project of the CIA. Brutal Kangaroo is a tool suite for Microsoft Windows that targets closed networks by air gap jumping using thumbdrives.

Source: https://wikileaks.org/vault7

Brutal Kangaroo components create a custom covert network within the target closed network and providing functionality for executing surveys, directory listings, and arbitrary executables.

The documents describe how a CIA operation can infiltrate a closed network (or a single air-gapped computer) within an organization or enterprise without direct access. It first infects a Internet-connected computer within the organization (referred to as "primary host") and installs the BrutalKangaroo malware on it.

When a user is using the primary host and inserts a USB stick into it, the thumbdrive itself is infected with a separate malware. If this thumbdrive is used to copy data between the closed network and the LAN/WAN, the user will sooner or later plug the USB disk into a computer on the closed network. By browsing the USB drive with Windows Explorer on such a protected computer, it also gets infected with exfiltration/survey malware.

If multiple computers on the closed network are under CIA control, they form a covert network to coordinate tasks and data exchange. Although not explicitly stated in the documents, this method of compromising closed networks is very similar to how Stuxnet worked.

The Brutal Kangaroo project consists of the following components:

• Drifting Deadline is the thumbdrive infection tool,
• Shattered Assurance is a server tool that handles automated infection of thumbdrives (as the primary mode of propagation for the Brutal Kangaroo suite),
• Broken Promise is the Brutal Kangaroo postprocessor (to evaluate collected information)
• Shadow is the primary persistence mechanism (a stage 2 tool that is distributed across a closed network and acts as a covert command-and-control network; once multiple Shadow instances are installed and share drives, tasking and payloads can be sent back-and-forth).

The primary execution vector used by infected thumbdrives is a vulnerability in the Microsoft Windows operating system that can be exploited by hand-crafted link files that load and execute programs (DLLs) without user interaction. Older versions of the tool suite used a mechanism called EZCheese that was a 0-day exploit until March 2015; newer versions seem use a similar, but yet unknown link file vulnerability (Lachesis/RiverJack) related to the library-ms functionality of the operating system.
