Guest Post: Gold, Silver, and Bernanke’s Bluff
July 20th, 2010 by
Respond
The Federal Reserve and its friends in the European central banks, the IMF, and BIS are running a bluff against the developing nations and the rest of the world, and to their shame, the majority of their own people.
They will have to engage in wider scale monetization and ‘quantitative easing,’ which is a polite euphemism for the debasement of the currency, to cover the collapse of their expansion of the money supply, the misprision of felony, and the subornation of perjury, to facilitate the mass transfer of wealth from the public to their friends. This is why they must operate in the dark. Ponzi schemes must always expand, and always in secret.
The increasing manipulation of gold, silver and the currency markets, and the monetization of the public debt, is a sign of the endgame for the sorcerer’s apprentices.
In the short run things will be confusing, and difficult. In the longer term the outcome is as it has always been. You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time.
Bernanke and his ilk will fail, not with a bang but a faltering failure, and a final whimper. But this will take time, and in the short term they will act with a con man’s bravado, for con men they are, wielding power and using public funds unjustly, in secret, in an unconstitutional collaboration of financial institutions, the corporations that have risen around them, and the government.
“A collective tyrant, spread over the length and breadth of the land, is no more acceptable than a single tyrant ensconced on his throne.” Georges Clemenceau
The lifting of the veil from their scheme will be like the rising of the sun, as things long hidden become known. And we will look upon money and value in fresh ways.
Black Swan “Insurance” is By Definition A Scam
July 20th, 2010 by
Respond
The cost of such an insurance product would have to equal the underlying value of the equity. Paying 100 cents to cover 100 cents is a scam. And any other price structure for this product is patently felonious. Anyone selling this stuff is therefore a felon. Additionally, like ‘potfolio insurance’ in the 1980′s that caused the crash of October 19th, 1987 – a heavy concentration of this garbage will cause a similar 20% crash (or more).

BP is Not The Only Racket Worthy of RICO Prosecution
July 19th, 2010 by
Respond
We have argued for years that prosecutors to go after the banksters using RICO. The obvious conflicts between Washington and Wall St. have resulted in a tap dance of denial and delay. But now with RICO being used against BP – and the benefits of going after crooks using this statute laid bare - it’s time for the pubic public to demand that RICO be used against Wall St. banks. The criminal racket enterprise involving Wall St. banks, rating agencies, fund managers, the financial press, hedge funds and government insiders at the Treasury and Federal Reserve needs to be prosecuted and broken up.
African land, a Malaysian gold dinar and a seeping seabed
July 19th, 2010 by
Respond
Stacy Summary: So Africa is often associated with many starving to death, and yet between the Chinese, the Arabs and now George Soros and other hedge fund managers, swathes of the continent’s food production capacity and agricultural lands are apparently being bought up – some for national supply issues, some for pure speculation. Thoughts? Wonder if Bono’s private equity fund is investing? Will Geldof be there asking us to feed Soros should the speculation lead to ruin?
Is the Malaysian gold dinar real or just an announcement?
And some video of seepage from seabed near Macondo:

A win for the little guy! Two minutes of hate for Al Gore!
July 23rd, 2010 by Respond
Stacy Summary: Wow, sure it was truly awful legislation, even worse than health care ‘reform’ or financial ‘reform’ bills, designed to enrich a select few while doing nothing to solve the problem, but this is totally shocking . . . the most powerful man in the universe, Al Gore, who controls every step that Congress and Wall Street takes, who can smite the House of Saud/House of Bush with a single bound, who can bend almost every scientist to his evil will, FAILED to get pass carbon caps in the new energy bill????
It seems unbelievable that someone so powerful over a Congress so corrupt and operating in the interests of the powerful could have been thwarted, but it really appears as if the little guys, i.e., Exxon, BP, Cheney and Massey Energy, won this round.
Two cheeers for the little guy: Hip hip hooray! Hip hip hooray!
