David Stockman Fears "Panic" When The "Lunatic" Fed "Loses Control"

Well, David Stockman certainly isn't drinking the Kool-Aid.  I agree with him, but timing bursting of asset bubbles is never easy to do.  As exaggerated as asset prices are in equities, they can become stretched to even more irrational levels in a melt up.

Even if nominal values appreciate, if the sovereign fiat currency in question is in a free fall, real wealth is not achieved.  For example, if soaring stock markets are an accurate indicator of prosperity, Zimbabwe would be the wealthiest nation in the world.  Clearly, that is not the case for the former advanced economy of the once-prominent Rhodesia.

Stockman's case for the Fed exporting currency devaluation to other countries is absolutely true, as central bank balance sheets are exploding globally.  Jim Rickards wrote his best-selling Currency Wars on that very premise of a race to the bottom.  Currency wars never end well, but when the entire planet is doing it (which is unprecedented in world history), the outcomes may very well be our worst nightmare economically.

Historic Chaos, Crisis & The War Between Inflation & Deflation

Labor Force Participation Rate

Word is finally leaking out that the Bureau of Labor Statistics fudges their unemployment data, painting a rosier employment picture than reality.  It renders the U-3 unemployment rate completely meaningless and masks the truly precarious joblessness of the US.

The labor force participation rate is the true indicator of how putrid the labor economy is.  It has sunk to a 35-year low.  The US was embroiled in one of the worst recessionary stagflations under the Jimmy Carter presidency in 1978.  The US economy wasn't growing then--and it's not growing today, despite equally rigged GDP growth data--again, released by the BLS.

Government statistics have become one big propaganda campaign of disinformation.  Actual labor force participation may be even worse, as the rate is published by...you guessed it...the BLS.

US Fed to get greater powers: Bernanke

As usual, the headlines are misleading.  The Fed is enacting laws--in conjunction with the International Monetary Fund--to prevent a taxpayer-funded bank bailout at the onset of the next financial crisis.  It sounds reasonable and noble enough, given the plundering of tax funds to recapitalize the collapsed banking industry in 2008.

The problem is the solutions they are now proposing, but are not being reported to the masses, include bank bail-ins, which target credit holders and "investors" in the bank.  In other words, they will raid customer deposits.

Annihilation of U.S. Dollar Coming-Jim Sinclair

Let me de-brief you on Jim Sinclair's track record.  He predicted gold would soar above $850 in the 1970's, when it was fixed at $35.  He sold at the 1980 absolute top--to the day, at $875.

When gold was languishing below $300 a decade ago, he predicted gold would reach $1650.   In 2011, gold reached a peak of $1923.  With gold in the low $1300's recently, he is forecasting price targets of $3,500--and $50,000.

I hope he is wrong.  But over the last four decades, he hasn't been.

http://usawatchdog.com/jim-sinclair-50000-gold-us-dollar-collapse-hyperinflation-and-more/
Sinclair predicts, by 2016, “Gold will be $3,200 to $3,500 an ounce.”  By 2020, Sinclair predicts, “Emancipated gold will be $50,000 per ounce.”

We Are Now In The “Last Innings” Of The End Game

http://kingworldnews.com/kingworldnews/KWN_DailyWeb/Entries/2013/10/31_We_Are_Now_In_The_Last_Innings_Of_The_End_Game.html
The Western world is still faced with increasing debt.  The mainstream media has been focused on the fact that there was a very small decline in the budget deficit, but if you look back in history it took the United States 192 years to rack-up $1 trillion of debt.  Then, the next $1 trillion of debt took only 30 years.  Astonishingly, now we are going through $1 trillion each year.

Right now China has somewhere on the order of $1.2 trillion, and has been diversifying away from those dollar reserves into everything from skyscrapers, to companies, to gold.  The Chinese will continue to do that, but, meanwhile, because of the slowdown of international investors buying dollars, ironically the Fed has had to print dollars in order to buy dollars (laughter ensues).  That, too, is unsustainable.
