The Federal Reserve raised interest rates on Wednesday for the third time this year and signaled they will raise rates again in December.
On Wednesday, the Fed announced an increase in the target range for its benchmark interest rate of 25 basis points to 2%-2.25%, setting the Fed funds rate at its highest level since April 2008. All nine voting members of the FOMC voted in favor of Wednesday’s decision.
The most notable change in Wednesday’s statement was the removal of language indicating the Fed sees its policy as “accommodative.” In its August statement, the Fed said, “The stance of monetary policy remains accommodative, thereby supporting strong labor market conditions and a sustained return to 2 percent inflation.”
The removal of this language indicates that Fed officials see their current interest rate policy as nearing the level that is estimated to sustain full employment while meeting the Fed’s 2% inflation target.

Today, at 12pm PT I will talk with Maria Wheatley, expert dowser, Druid and investigator of ancient sites and mysteries about our upcoming trip to Egypt scheduled for April 2019.
A team of would-be ghostbusters have developed a device to measure the ‘exposome’ – an invisible and somewhat spooky cloud that orbits every human. It is populated by bacteria and viruses, and may change how we view medicine.
“For years we’ve been sequencing people’s genomes, testing their blood and urine, and analyzing the microbes in their guts to understand how these things impact human health,” geneticist and lead author of the research , Michael Snyder from Stanford University told Wired. “But all of those things have to do with what’s inside your body. The one big thing we’re missing is: What are you exposed to?”
The windows of houses in Sunspot around the Solar Observatory are still boarded up with sheets of wood, no one is around, like a ghost town. And I talked with one person today at the observatory who told me they had signed a non-disclosure form (NDA) and that they were compensated with enough money to where they would not want to talk about what has happened.” – Paul M., Drone Pilot from Alamagordo, NM, visited NSO, Monday, September 17, 2018, after “re-opening”

Though it’s hardly surprising, given President Trump’s stridently anti-China rhetoric during the campaign, relations between the US and China have deteriorated to a dramatic degree since the beginning of 2018. And with the US and China trading threats following the US’s decision to sanction a branch of the Chinese military for buying arms from Russia (as China threatened the US with unspecified “consequences” if it didn’t undo its “mistake”), the US has thrown gasoline on the fire by moving ahead with a planned sale of F-16 fighter jets and other weaponry to Taiwan in defiance of China’s warnings, per Reuters and Bloomberg.
The arms sale follows China’s participation in joint military drills with Russia earlier this month, as well as drills in the Strait of Taiwan earlier this year that were intended to simulate an invasion.
Blocking “white man” is particularly strange, especially as terms such as “black man” and “asian man” are allowed. And for a game set during World War II, not allowing people to type the word “Nazi” is just bizarre.

Let’s start with what happened on Saturday. An eruption of Ear Spring sent “plumes of water up to 30 feet in the air”, and it was being reported that “debris and rocks flew into the sky”…
This was the very first time since 2004 that Ear Spring has erupted, and it was only the 4th eruption in the last 60 years.
But that wasn’t the end of the activity at Yellowstone.
According to a an early draft of an Executive Order (EO), the White House will instruct federal law enforcement and antitrust agencies to launch investigations into the business practices of Facebook, Google and other social media companies, according to Bloomberg which says it has seen the draft.
The online payment service on Friday said it was ending its business relationship with Infowars and related websites, saying an extensive review of their controversial content “found instances that promoted hate and discriminatory intolerance against certain communities and religions that run counter to our core value of inclusion.”
From Zero Hedge: “If this latest revelation from the New York Times doesn’t drive President Trump to fire Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, or convince Congress to impeach him, then we can’t imagine what would.”
