The Economy, Etc. – Rhyme or Reason?… Crime or Treason?

Well… here we are near the end of 2008.  A year that saw incredible happenings… not unlike many previous years.  Except… that this year was a turning point of sorts.

We saw the average real estate person, to the real estate expert, finally admit that the housing market was collapsing with no end in sight.  We saw the paper denominated money markets take a quantum leap into the basement as the “ones in charge” finally admitted that indeed, something was “a bit amiss!”  Ha!

As of this moment, the commodities market… the stalwart last port in a storm haven, took a brutal beating at the hands of ruthless manipulators.  Silver is still at about 50% of where it was last March 17th.  Gold is down at least 25% (but amazingly toying with the fact that it sometimes closes above platinum… which has hardly ever happened in recent history).  Palladium is dropping almost off the earth and rhodium, the mainstay of the car catalytic converter industry and fanatical nutritional supplement sector, has occasionally closed lower than gold and is around or below $1,000 per ounce… some remember the recent past when this metal was in the area of several thousands per ounce!

The market indicators are all askew.  The Dow is the favorite plaything of the power elite and even though it is suffering, it still refuses (read – “not allowed”) to dive off the final cliff into financial oblivion.  The NASDAQ is surviving around record lows… just because it can… and nobody cares at the moment.  The Transportations Index has been unceremoniously deleted from the Kitco Charts…  no one seems to know why.  Maybe it is akin to the almost total disappearance of the M3 Money Index.  Some experts figure the Transportations Index to be just as important as the hushed-up M3, especially when analyzed with the movements of the Bond Market.  Oh, well.

Another very “supposed” key indicator is the Dollar Index.  When it was solid and above 80 points, way over a year ago, many experts agreed that if it went below 80, it would be free fall time.  Well, over a year ago, it did just that and continued until recently, its descent to the 71 point range.  However, just as all the other indexes and markets went nuts, so did the Dollar Index, and it climbed recently to the upper 80’s… only to drop back into the high 70’s a few days ago.

Oil… Black Gold… Texas Tea.  We are now in the mid-thirties from an incredible $147 a barrel not too long ago.  Who worked this out!?  At the rate it is falling, you will be paid to fill up your SUV at the pump.  No?  Okay… the obvious conclusion is that the price, as with all commodities… is heavily manipulated.  You can expect the price of oil, some day in the near future to shoot skyward so fast, it will make your head spin.  You will be left by the roadside with your bankrupt credit cards and fist full of worthless dollars, wondering how you are going to get to the almost empty store to beg for some food for your family that is sitting, hovering over a fireplace, burning your Walmart furniture to try and keep from freezing.  

“What is going on?”  This is the key question that must cross the minds of even the most financially uninvolved person.  The whole world is being turned upside down, not only financially, but politically and socially as well.

Unfortunately, all the factors are interrelated.  The blatant battle by the various power elite groups is, and has been going on for decades.  Their desire is to control the world’s population by every means possible.  Financial control is an obvious method.  I paraphrase, as I often do, and cannot overdo, the infamous words of Rothschild… “Give me the power to control a nation’s currency and I care not who makes the laws.”  Pretty scary?  Yes!  Being done?  Read the even the most Conservative papers and you will see the whole scenario unfolding right before your very eyes.

What can be done?  Probably nothing.  That is a horrible realization… but one that is the most likely outcome of what is happening.

We have a new President-elect.  If you follow even some of what is going on in the change over period between administrations, you will see that the people that Obama is surrounding himself with are war hawks, financial mis-planners, hangers-on, and political hacks, etc. from previous administrations.  That IS scary.

From the fact that Obama is a Wall Street and power elite player… he received 80% of his campaign funds from Wall Street sources… to the fact that he will willingly take us into Afghanistan… (read – Korea, Vietnam, Iraq)… it is no wonder that many who voted for change did not realize that there was NO major candidate dedicated to REAL and POSITIVE change.  Sad, but true.  Very sad, but true.

Talk about hacks… The “experts” that spew out their nonsense on all media… TV, radio, print… do nothing more than confuse the facts.  I believe that a great deal of this is intentional or at least greatly appreciated by the power elite.  Experts speak, using the alphabet soup names of all types of financial tools, methods, etc., thus making it near impossible to decipher what they are talking about.  Another favorite method is using words that people in the financial and political fields don’t even agree on the meaning of.  “Spread,” “leveraging,” “longs,” “shorts…”  and the list is endless!

My favorite, and one that if you don’t know much about it now… you eventually will!   It  is “Derivatives.”  I have studied them for years and not until recently did I find a somewhat satisfactory explanation of what they were and HOW THEY WORKED!  I even wrote a post  on my web site – Silverrockstheworld.com (entitled “Derivative Meltdown!!!”), explaining in VERY simple terms the uses and ABUSES of this kind of financial nonsense.

The fact that the worldwide exposure to them is over $1 QUADRILLION (that’s 1,000 TRILLIONS!), and they are based on futures agreements of which 90% unbelievably expire WORTHLESS!  The total GDP of the ENTIRE world is $50 trillion.  That makes derivatives a loosing game of about 20 to 1!  Worried yet?  No?  You should be shaking in you shoes!

Ever hear the names COMEX and CFTC?  You may have, or if they have their way, you will not.  They are the government assigned watchdog agencies for the commodities markets.  Do they do their job?  NO!  But then again, for who?  If you mean you and me, they are sinister and corrupt entities from the word go.  But, for the power elite, they are the golden boys of commodity manipulation.  Something that the world may (hopefully not), pay very dearly for.

As almost a final peg in the silliness board of the financial collapse, is the fact that just a few days ago there was a mad dash by investors to purchase 30 year Treasuries.  The stupidity of this was that the rate of interest was effectively zero and people were actually getting no return on their investment and just letting the government keep their money for thirty years!  Thirty years?!  No interest?!?  What about the possibilities of havoc that inflation would play on a dumb move like that?  What about the possibilities in six months?  Three months?  The whole thing is totally preposterous and yet par for the course!  

An obvious solution at the very least, would be to invest in tangible silver of any kind.  A move that alas, mainly due to the gross price manipulation, will be an investment that all will want when none is available.

When you think about the big picture… it is very likely that down to the most poverty stricken third world nation, every country has at least one Super Secret Intelligence Agency.  Who their collective loyalties are to is anyone’s guess.  This makes the entire mix of various power elite groups and their henchmen quite difficult to put a handle on… let alone their past, present and future plans.

Again, what can be done?  As mentioned, ANY paper denominated investments are most likely to become worthless when and how the power elite see fit.  The flight to tangible commodities is the ONLY real answer, but no one has money to spare to buy items such as silver, even at its present  rock bottom price.  This is also very sad, but true.

 The collective people of the world are in a mess.  With economies failing, food becoming scarce, social unrest rearing its ugly head… what could possibly be the answer?

I guess other than buying an amount of silver that you can afford and squirrel away, there is not much to be done.  That is my best answer at present.  Also, if you are so moved, you should pray to your God and ask for divine intervention… because if you follow what is going on and are not a stooge of the popular culture that the power elite media feeds us, you will realize that our options to have a planet that is free, just and loving gets further from the realms of possibility.

Look Out Below! – The World Finances Are Collapsing!!!

Well… it is another day and another billion or so dollars down the drain.

The actions of corruption, fraud, and manipulation of our financial markets by politicians, Wall Street mavens, hired guns such as Paulson and Bernanke, world leaders, world banks and organizations, financial market reporting agencies, all the stock market hedge funds, mutuals, derivatives, etc., all the currency manipulators, and whoever else has a hand in the ongoing and historic, worldwide financial meltdown…  are shameful.  The perpetrators should be removed from power, no, better yet, they should be indicted!

If you are looking at the world financial situation from an honest, fair market and supply and demand perspective, nothing done by the aforementioned potpourri of financial controllers makes any sense whatsoever.

If you are looking at it in the perspective of the stepped up manipulation and control of the entire world population… through a new world government structure and monetary system, then it kind of makes ALL the sense in the world!

Many financial and political leaders say they want to “save” the economy for the “middle class.”  I didn’t know there was much of a middle class left anymore.  How to save it?  Who knows.

Their plans are full of “tax credits,” “rebates,” “vouchers,” and every other such thing that will do nothing more than drastically increase the physical size of the IRS code to well over its approximately 6,000 pages.

The truth is that NO ONE on the “political and financial scene” has a clue, the intelligence and/or the moral fortitude to make the right choices.  Bush and ALL his “cronies in crime” have been merely, with help of a totally controlled media, playing the people of this country for total and complete fools.

Just look at the basic financial charts for today, for example.  The Dow is down, the Nasdaq is down… the NYSE is not doing well and the Transportations are floundering terribly.  What does this all mean?  Nothing!  It might only mean something to a handful of “day traders” that are in an out in a few hours, based on volatile up and down swings.  It also may mean something to the “black box” institutional traders that make up most of the daily billions of shares traded volume, by orchestrating the timing of the daily highs and lows and making large, quick and very profitable deals.

Then there is the U. S. Dollar Index.  A nonsense figure that is in the mid-80 point range right now.  When it was going down toward 80 over a year ago, experts thought that when it went below 80, it would start to free fall and the dollar value would approach the zero range.  

Well it DID go below 80 and systematically kept sinking to about the 71 point range.  Then, as with all the financial markets and indexes… all hell recently broke loose and logic and common sense went right out the window.  The Dollar Index has shot up and money markets are at al loss to rationally explain why it is happening, when will it reverse again and will the dollar actually crash and when? (Most think it will crash and sooner than later).

Then, as we all know, the markets have tumbled a great deal in recent weeks.  Paper assets such as stocks, bonds, etc. took it on the chin.  Why?  Supposedly, the public was loosing faith in the markets and the markets were loosing faith in themselves.  What about all the aforementioned fraud, corruption, etc. by the Power Elite?  (Fraudulent derivatives, credit swaps and the like).  Who’s asking!?

Nobody looks forward to a stock market crash, a falling dollar, a diminished standard of living, riots in the streets – thus martial law… in short, a major societal crash.  So, the Power Elite with the help of a controlled media, have gone to work.

Groups such as the PPT (Plunge Protection Team) and the Exchange Rate Stabilization Fund, etc., have come to the forefront and with total subterfuge, cajoled, threatened, scared, and lied to the Congress and the people of America about a “plan” to “bail out” and supposedly “rescue” the country.

To begin with, it was all a masterful set up.  It was played like a masterful set up and is STILL being played as a masterful set up.  But, if things play out the way they might, the masterful plan could easily turn sour overnight and the American people will be left to fend for themselves both physically and financially.

What do do?  The historic answers to a “panic” situation in the American and world economies has also been the mainstays of humanity… gold and silver.

However, there is a documented silver shortage in the world RIGHT NOW!  Well, then why is silver “trading” at less than half of its value as of last March 17th?  Why is gold down over 25% in the same time?  Why is silver, the metal of over 10,000 vital uses to mankind, and in the mentioned shortage situation, trading at a value ratio of about 75 to one… gold to silver?

Silver is the “win-win” metal since it is presently extremely under priced, is in a shortage position, is in demand by investment oriented people and is going to be desperately needed for industry and medicine, now and increasingly so in the future.  What is going on?!

The bottom line is that silver, like all commodities and asset markets, is HIGHLY MANIPULATED for gains by he Power Elite and also to prevent the public from retaining some sort of financial stability.

A people on the verge of social and financial collapse are easily controlled.  Hundreds of years ago, Rothschild, the main founder of the World Central Banking System stated that: “Give me the control of the issuance of a nation’s currency, and I care not who makes the laws.”

Silver and gold should be selling for much more than they a presently are.  One solution to that has been that the few sellers who are left, are charging premiums for their metals.  However, even that only amounts to about 3, maybe 4 dollars an ounce above the questionable and very low, “officially going for” or ‘”spot” price of silver.

Again, what to do?  Write your Congressperson.  Done that.  Write ALL the Congresspersons.  Done that.  Write the President.  Done that.  Write the media.  Done that.  Write to people in positions at official and unofficial organizations who are in the know.  Done that.  Write to authorities on the subject in general.  Done that.  Write to Paulson, Bernanke, etc.  Yes… done that, too.

My point is that we seem to have and/or are running out of viable options.  I have suggested in previous articles that people should buy and sell silver at its FREE MARKET  and SUPPLY AND DEMAND price.  This should easily jump to $100, $500 $1,000 or even $3,200 an ounce or much higher!  Small and large sellers of silver should take advantage of their position in this shortage situation and DEMAND fair, supply and demand prices!

Yes, this is a solution.  However, not for everything in the economy.  That subject is very complex such as are other major issues we face, i.e. the end of ANY nation’s rampant imperialism, quality free health care for everyone, a woman’s freedom of choice for her body, pollution, nuclear proliferation, global warming… to just name a few.

ALL of these issues have to be tackled, not by a young, smooth talking Senator who is very indebted to Wall Street… just as is his “Maverick” opponent.  We do not need more of the last eight years, as we don’t need any more of the eight years before that either! Unfortunately, the demise and total control of this planet has been in the works in all of the preceding Presidencies… like it or not.  It’s just that in the latest generation, the power and capacity of the controlling factors has taken off at the speed of light.

The change of the valuation of silver and gold is a step… okay, a small one at that.  But, it might just be something that could help quite a few people.  It would give the precious metal commodities back their value and enable SOME market stabilization… thus allowing the American people to participate profitably in the financial markets.  It is a step in the right direction and that alone, makes it important and worthy of serious consideration.

As to the rest of the social and financial mess… I actually feel that a major Leap in Consciousness by EVERYONE in the entire world would be one of the only ways we can start to build a livable and perhaps, hopefully a better world for all of us. – Larson.

DERIVATIVE MELTDOWN!!!

DERIVATIVES, DERIVATIVES, EVERYWHERE… AND NOT A DROP TO UNDERSTAND, I THINK!

By Karl Hosch – Silverrockstheworld.com

Derivatives are the key ingredient to the present, total financial collapse of all the world’s economies.

Derivatives floated into our financial vocabulary in recent decades.  Wikipedia says about them:

 “Derivatives are financial instruments whose values depend on the value of other underlying financial instruments.”

“The main use of Derivatives is to reduce risk for one party.”  

“Derivatives can be based on a huge variety of potential underlying assets and payoff alternatives which leads to an enormous range of different types of contracts that can be constructed.”

“Derivatives can be based on different types of assets such as commodities, equities (stocks), residential mortgages, commercial real estate loans, bonds, interest rates, exchange rates, or indices (such as a stock market index, consumer price index (CPI), or even an index of WEATHER CONDITIONS, or other derivatives).”

And after extensive research, this is my best definition:

“A Derivative is an agreement between parties in which for various consideration, where one promises to pay another, a certain sum, at a certain time, under certain circumstances.”  Which means a Derivative is possibly this – possibly that – or possibly the other.  Possibly.

To make matters seem more impossible, consider this:  There are presently about $1.4 QUADRILLION, or $1,400,000,000,000,000.00 worth of Derivative contracts presently outstanding in the world!  That number is16 places to the LEFT of the decimal point!

To put the above number in perspective, the entire GDP (Gross Domestic Product) of the ENTIRE WORLD is 50 TRILLION, or $50,000,000,000,000.00.  That  is 14 places to the LEFT of the decimal point!  The ratio of $1.4 QUADRILLION to $50 TRILLION is a staggering 28 to 1!  Please  understand this fact!  There is 28 times more money invested in Derivatives worldwide than the combined world output for a whole year!

The world markets that function in Derivatives are more sophisticated in a negative way and the alphabet soup they use to cover their rears, makes dealing with the Derivatives or controlling them, nearly impossible.  What makes them especially dangerous to the world is that they are basically backed up by nothing but phony paper contracts and/or inflated currency.  They are not safe, secure or in any way represent sound economic thinking.

This is the ridiculous and basically unregulated type of market that has run rampant over the financial world in the last few decades and especially in the last several years.  It is all a crap shoot at best where one party “insures” or “protects” value in something, or even tries to predict a value for something for another party or parties, no matter how obtuse it may be.  At least 80% of all of these types of contracts usually expire WORTHLESS!  If even a small portion of them fail, it would spell financial disaster for a country and the world!

I will attempt to bring Derivatives down to a common sense example:

Let’s say that I have some unkempt apple trees on 40 acres of unused farm land.  Obviously, I would not be making much money with it.

You come by and say, “Hey, I like your apple trees and land and think I can make some money with them.”

I am a very lazy farmer and start to listen to you.

You say, “How about you give me your apple trees and 40 acres for $1000 and I will turn the trees and land into a money making orchard.  I promise to pay you an additional $1000 in 3 years with 10% interest per year, plus 15% of my profits.  Sound good?  Let’s sign the papers!”

We now have here an agreement that has a promise to pay a sum certain with a specific interest even, over a specific time and all hinging on the success of a variable outcome!  Sounds like a Derivative, smells like a Derivative… could it be at least a simple one?

Who really cares?!  I am ecstatic.  I make the deal and go to Vegas with my money!

–New worth of farm to me:  $1000 up front, plus another potential $1000, plus an additional $300 which is $10% per year interest for 3 years, plus 15% of something that depends on how good a farmer you are.

 

You have a lot of great ideas.  You then put an ad in the paper and ask for farmers who want to make big bucks.

Twenty farmers answer the ad and you propose to them:  “Hey, guys.  I have these apple trees and 40 acres.  I am willing to divide the land among you into 2 acre parcels.  For this privilege, all each of you do is give me $1500 down, promise to pay me $1500 at 15% interest per year for 5 years and 20% of your profits.  Sound good?” 

Again, we smell the familiar odor of a Derivative cooking…

The twenty farmers accept, because they are greedy and eager to make the “big bucks.”

–New worth of farm to you:  $30,000 (20 farmers x $1500) up front, plus another potential $30,000 (20 farmers x $1500 second payment), plus an additional $22,500, which is 15% per year interest for 5 years (.15 interest percentage x $30,000  owed to farmers x 5 years), plus 20% of something that depends on how good at farming your greedy friends are.

 

Did I mention that the twenty farmers also thought they were clever businessmen?

As soon as you turned your back, they promptly went out and each one found 5 REALLY greedy friends.  The farmers then proposed to the 100 new greedy friends:  “Hey, guys.  We will give you an interest… 5 guys in each one of our 2 acre ‘apple orchards.’”  

Each of the twenty farmers would then receive from every one of his 5 greedy friends $2000 down and a promise to pay $2000 back at 20% interest for 10 years to acquire a 25% INTEREST in each farmer’s profits from the “orchards!”

Uh, oh…. A slightly different slant, but still going down the same Derivative slope…

–New worth of farm to the twenty farmers:  $200,000 (100 really greedy friends x $2000 start up) up front, plus another potential $200,000 (100 really greedy friends x $2000 second payment), plus an additional $400,000 which is $40,000 per year interest at 20% for 10 years (100 really greedy friends x $2000 second payment = $200,000 x .20 interest percentage = $40,000 x 10 years = $400,000). All the twenty farmers give up is 25% of profits which all depend on how good at farming they are.

We have created a pile of money out of almost nothing.  This whole thing started because I had some apple trees, 40 unused acres and limited ambition.  However… everyone was now as happy as a pig in manure!

Until…

All this initial new wealth that the twenty farmers were accumulating enabled them to spend a lot of money they never had before.  This caused competition in the small town for goods and services and drove the prices up.  Taxes went up.  Bug sprays and fertilizer for the trees went up.  The cost of shipping apples went up.  Another farm nearby was doing the same thing and drove the profit margin of all the local orchards down.  The weather wasn’t perfect for growing apples.  The farmers started to hurt.

In addition, due to the general rising inflation, the 100 really greedy friends didn’t want to keep paying on the principal of $200,000, let alone the interest of $40,000 per year, because the lousy return on the crops from the apple orchards they invested in was not what they had expected.  Money started to disappear.  They started to hurt also, and default on payments to the farmers.

The twenty farmers did not need this additional shortage of funds and started to loose money even faster.  Then, the really greedy friends stopped paying the farmers the principle and interest and walked away from their investment all together.  Money disappeared for good.  Thus, the farmers lost $200,000 and an additional $400,000 in interest at 20% for 10 years.  The twenty farmers went bankrupt.

 You are now back in the picture.  Since the farmers went bankrupt, they stopped paying you principle and interest.  Money disappeared again.  You are now out $30,000, plus $22,500, the interest of $4500 per year for 5 years and now you have 20% of nothing!  You have to walk away from the farm… out of business.

I am back from Vegas and in the picture again.  I am annoyed that I gambled away my $1000 dollars, and even more annoyed that you went out of business.  I don’t get my other $1000 dollars and $300 in interest of 10% for 3 years.  Also, I now own 15% of nothing!

All is not lost though… I had a job with a big automaker.  I have a nice, fat retirement pension waiting for me soon.

What?!… What did you just say???   That company has announced that it is on the ropes, its financial paper is rated “junk,” and they have also announced that they no longer have a pension fund… and have stopped their health care plan!?!?!?

How dare they?!  What is going on here?  Doesn’t anybody have any common sense any more???  How on Earth could this happen???!  You would think people would know better!  I’ve never heard of anything so stupid in all my life… uh… well… maaaaybe… I have…

 

In this brief example we have seen a microcosm of the big picture of Derivatives.  We have seen a Leveraged Derivative Market Situation go through three basic transactions.  And, we have seen the value being manipulated and leveraged over 200 times higher in the process… that’s 20,000%!  Can one comprehend that number?  We’ve also seen the playing out of a very sad, simple, yet common Meltdown scenario in today’s failing market place.

In actuality, more risky, expansive, devious and potentially very destructive Derivative Instruments have been created.  The Leveraged Derivative Market is collapsing around the world… NOW!  It is so big and potentially hazardous that it will take down all the world economies in its all consuming path by pulling out the pillars that keep all currencies from falling.  Is the horse out of the barn, is the barn burning,  has the barn burned down?  And where IS the horse?!  Even if we are lucky, these questions will haunt us for who knows how many years.

When you hear about the “Big Bang” in the near future… they will not be talking about the beginning of the universe.   They will sadly be pointing to the Derivative Market Meltdown that hardly anyone even wanted to acknowledge.

Bradley Effect Vs. Bozo Effect

By Larson E. Whipsnade – Silverrockstheworld.com

Once upon a time there was a mythical place that seemed very real to many of us.  This land was inhabited by cartoon characters.

Every four years it was deemed that there would be an election among all the cartoon characters, to elect a President.

In one particular election year, Mighty Mouse was running against Bozo the Clown.  Bozo was hopeful of a victory.

The only thing standing in Bozo’s way was the fact that he was a clown.  Cartoon Land had never elected a clown before.  It was felt by some, that when any given cartoon character entered the voting booth… he or she would choose not to vote for Bozo, because they were not clowns also.

This hidden vote influencing phenomenon was then called the unknown “Bozo Effect.”  It is almost identical to the “Bradley Effect” that supposedly cost Tom Bradley the mayoral race in Los Angeles several years ago, because people supposedly decided in the voting booth that they could not vote for a Black man.

When the Cartoon Land election took place, Bozo lost.  Right away, he blamed the loss on the “Bozo Effect.”

 —Now, switch this up to reality… sort of… kind of what we are experiencing now. 

We have a Presidential election.  One of the candidates is Black.  The other candidate is a clown.  No matter what the polls say, when the people get into the voting both… will they not vote for the Black due to the “Bradley Effect,” or not vote for the clown due to the “Bozo Effect?”

These are crucial questions in the current election.  Have a better than usual day. – Larson.

The Fall Out From The Baloney Bail-Out!

It seems that the American and World sheople have swallowed the bait… hook, line and sinker!

Never before… and that includes the devastation of the 1929 Crash… have we been treated like we haven’t got a brain in our collective heads! Hank P., Ben B., Christopher C. and George W. B. are all front line co-conspirators in this farce that has been called a “bail-out,” a “bail-in,” a “buy out,” a “buy in,”… all the way to obscure terms such as a “rescue!”

It has become time to call this imploding train wreck of a financial mess for what it is. A SHAM! A disgraceful, ugly, dishonest, corrupt, manipulative, criminal scam that has had it roots in many Presidencies and its ideology based in hundreds of years old game plans for total world domination!

We are being fooled and misdirected to only think about what the power elite wants us to think. We don’t seem to comprehend that the present, passed bill (by both House and Senate), is merely $700 Billion of Main Street bailing out Wall Street. We have been “talked into” (read “manipulated into”), accepting a bill that is not only in its final version, filled with outrageous “pork”… but is merely a tool to use the ever potent smoke and mirrors to get us to buy toxic, junk paper from financial institutions, and,… to add insult to injury… we are expected to expect a profit five or ten years down the road from this insanity! Who is kidding who?!!!

And then, we are told the price is $700 Billion which could mushroom to over a Trillion very easily. You see, nobody really knows what is really going on, or even begins to understand even the short range ramifications of what is being done!

Also, it has come to our attention that Ben B., who has been somewhat in the background with his Fed while Hank P. with his Treasury played everyone like violins… managed to have the Fed shove over 600 Billion into the economy… almost unnoticed. Why was this feat ignored to the extent as Hank’s playing with our Congress was not ignored and was so highly publicized?! Similar amounts… similar purposes, similar recipients… only difference here is that it was done TOTALLY behind our backs with complete impunity.

Really. This whole thing is a house of cards. Experts agree that the “bail-out” or whatever you want to call it, is a non-functional, non-directional and completely erroneous piece of legislation that makes all of the power elite proud of its puppet members of the Legislative and Executive branches of our so-called democracy.

If you want to start solving even some of the financial mess… you will heed politicians such as Ron Paul or Dennis Kucinich. They may not be perfect, but they do have their fingers on the economic pulse of America and the entire World!

They realize as I do, that the entire political system is broken… especially the financial part of it. We have to change most of the rules and all of the players, if we are to ever even approach the possibility of pulling out of our present financial woes. The corruption has to go… the manipulation of markets has to go… the greed has to go… the incompetence has to go… and, it at all possible… the American people have to populate the jobs of the lawmakers with Statesmen and Stateswomen, who’s goal is to create, build and protect ALL of our rights as so powerfully stated in our Great Constitution.

Until then, expect more of the same and worse. The power elite’s bag of tricks, in my estimation and fear, is far from exhausted. If we are to “make a positive difference” in the so vital near future… then we must have a bag that can swallow up the elite’s bag and then we must be able to toss them both into the vast ocean of justice, where they will sink and destruct, never to plague a society again! Have a good day. – Larson.

World Systemic Financial Collapse!

October 5, 2008

Well… This time it may be for real. This is similar to where we were March 17, 2008. The song remains the same… only the singers are somewhat different… and a whole lot more scared!

The world is quickly falling off a financial cliff into a total systemic financial collapse. We would have been there last March 17 with Bear Sterns, etc. if it weren’t for a weekend James Bondian effort by the Fed, PPT, Exchange Rate Stabilization Fund and numerous other devious groups. They spent that weekend eating pizza, drinking coffee, smoking, and not sleeping… pulling out everything in their sundry manipulative war chests, to further the extent of their hold on the economy, preserve their distorted status quo and assure that it all doesn’t fall apart “too” fast… at least until after the elections.

As soon as the world financial markets wake up completely and see that paper denominated assets, no matter if a fund, mortgage, stock, derivative, bond, Federal Reserve Notes (illegal U. S. currency), or whatever… are worthless… and everyone starts running for the investment exits… then we will be open for a major worldwide political and financial disaster.

It’s not total gloom and doom… yet…. There is still some gold and a tiny bit of silver left to purchase at the present giveaway prices of about $750 and $11 an ounce, respectively.
