Demand for food stamps soars as cuts sink in and shelves empty

America, home of the poor and hungry...but hey, it's all good as the prices of trophy real estate, rare art, diamonds, and stock markets are all soaring, right?

What Americans don't realize is the Fed's "stimulative" policies are enriching only the rich, while the rest of the economy is suffering.  Printing money out of thin air doesn't stimulate the economy.  It only deepens our country's debt problems.

CFTC Announces It Is Undercounting Size Of Swaps Market By As Much As $55 Trillion

Here's the thing:  QE may be the Fed printing $75 billion per month to buy US Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities, but the counterfeiting, er...currency creation is actually much larger than that--in the form of currency swaps.  Some estimate as much as $16 trillion since the 2008 financial crisis.  That's why a few billion here or there isn't having any effect on the economy.  The financial derivatives nearly crashed the global financial system in 2008.

The next banking and financial crises most assuredly will.

Vladimir Putin orders speeding up of military presence in the Arctic

http://siberiantimes.com/other/others/news/vladimir-putin-orders-speeding-up-of-military-presence-in-the-arctic/
The firm Russian move came after Ottawa indicated it is mapping the Arctic seabed with a view to claiming the North Pole seabed as Canadian. This puts Canada at odds with Russia which argues the underwater Lomonosov Ridge is linked to the Siberian land mass.

At stake for both countries - and others with Arctic claims such as Denmark - are vast untapped oil and gas reserves.

Live Stream From Escalating Ukraine Protests As Hundreds Of Thousands Take To The Streets

Arab spring.s is turning into Euro spring, and is a precursor to a global spring.  That's what happens when the global reserve currency (USDollar) is getting destroyed by its issuer (US Treasury and Fed).  Import prices are rising and putting food on the table is becoming increasingly impossible.  Hence, that is why folks are taking it to the streets.  It has nothing to do with evil dictators.

Most countries have lived through totalitarian regimes for centuries.  They aren't risking life and limb today over ideological differences.  They are starving.

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.

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.

The Fed Is Going To Shock The World By Increasing QE

I agree with Pento that the Fed will be "forced" to increase QE.  The only question is "when?"  Will the Fed increase QE after dramatic losses in capital markets, in another desperate attempt to prop up equities?  Or will they just increase QE to preempt distorted markets from a corrective recalibration?

I Am A Terrified Observer As I Watch The End Game Unfolding

Eric King:  “How bad will this be when the West finally hits the wall?”


Rule:  “I don’t know, and I don’t know when it will come.  The US can renege on a whole bunch of social promises.  What scares me is that the dialogue isn’t even dealing with the harsh reality the US faces in the future if radical changes are not made immediately."

All I hear is from the US officials is, ‘We can’t taper, the economy is too weak,’ and, ‘We can’t shut down the government because government provides all of these essential services.’  But the coming austerity will be very unpleasant to go through, and people are going to eventually recognize QE for what it is, which is counterfeiting.



The problem with all of the promises the politicians have made is that they are all lies.  I have advocated that people own gold and silver because at the fulcrum point of this deception on the part of the government is the currency.  You can’t have unsecured obligations on top of unsecured obligations.  And the medium for exchange of lies is fiat currency.


The idea that the gradual unraveling of these lies will result in the depreciation of fiat currencies, and the dramatic revaluation of precious metals to the upside, seems to me to be an extremely likely outcome.  I am a terrified observer as I watch the end game drawing to a close.  But I will tell you that I feel more comfortable and sleep better owning gold and silver, rather than having all of my savings in fiat currencies, which are the unsecured obligations of bankrupt, or soon to be bankrupt borrowers."

David Stockman - This Financial Collapse Will Be Catastrophic

http://kingworldnews.com/kingworldnews/KWN_DailyWeb/Entries/2013/10/4_David_Stockman_-_This_Financial_Collapse_Will_Be_Catastrophic.html
Eric King:  “How frightening will that period of chaos you just described be for investors?”

Stockman: “There is every reason to believe that it will be outside the range of prior experience.  Once it is clear that the Fed is out of ammunition, I think it’s going to cause an even greater wave of panic than we had last time (in 2008).  I think it’s a ship of fools (the Fed).  They have enormous power over the entire financial system, not only domestically, but over the entire global system.  It tells you why this doctrine of monetary central planning is so destructive and dangerous.  No twelve people should be in a position to unleash this kind of turmoil.”

Eric King:  “In the 1970s we saw the 25-fold move in gold, before you guys (Stockman, Volcker & Dr. Roberts) rescued the system.  But this time around we’ve already seen gold up almost 800% (at the peak in 2011).  It almost sounds like gold could repeat or even outperform what we saw in the 1970s as this chaos really starts to unfold.”

Stockman:  “The upside for gold is unfathomable.  If the monetary system really unwinds because the central banks take it to the edge, and over, there’s no telling how far gold could rise.”

Banca d'Italia says gold reserves key to cenbank independence

Wow, a central banker dispensing some truth serum while still in office.

http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/09/30/lbma-central-banks-idUSL6N0HQ16A20130930

In a keynote address to the London Bullion Market Association's annual conference, Salvatore Rossi, director general of the Italian central bank, told delegates that gold plays a special role in central banks' official reserves.

"Not only does it have the vital characteristic of allowing diversification, in particular when financial markets are highly integrated, in addition it is unique among assets in that it is not issued by any government or central bank, so its value cannot be influenced by political decisions or by the solvency of any institution," he said.

"These features, coupled with historic ... and psychological reasons, stand in favour of gold's importance as a component of central bank reserves," he said. "Gold underpins the independence of central banks in their ability to (act) as the ultimate bearer of domestic financial stability."

Man Who Predicted Gold Takedown Tells Investors What’s Next

http://kingworldnews.com/kingworldnews/KWN_DailyWeb/Entries/2013/10/2_Man_Who_Predicted_Gold_Takedown_Tells_Investors_Whats_Next.html
When you combine this with extremely robust and sustained demand from China, India and other places, it will soon halt this effort to push the phony paper price lower.  At that point investors will need to go to full allocations in physical metal.

I think people like us, Eric, who are already pretty fully invested in physical gold should just relax.  Understand that what’s going on here is orchestrated and that it can’t be sustained.  KWN readers have to understand that when the US Dollar Index briefly broke below the critical psychological level of 80 on Tuesday, that is precisely when the massive intervention in the gold market began.  But, again, this type of intervention cannot be sustained for very long.

So as long as you’re not invested on leverage, and I’ve never encouraged your readers or listeners to use any leverage in their positioning in gold, you will be fine.  As long as this is money that investors have put aside for long-term investment purposes, which is what I’ve always encouraged, they are going to be well positioned.  The sociopaths that are gaming these markets are rapidly running out of ammunition.  As gold eventually bottoms and finally begins to turn, you are going to see one of the most spectacular rises in the history of any market.

Poker End Game - JP Morgan, Fed, US Treasury, China & Gold

While this piece speculates about a conspiracy wrapped inside a conspiracy, I've always had my suspicions on who the price suppressors of gold and silver are.  The usual suspects are easy targets:  the Fed and other central planners want lower precious metals prices to mask their massive counterfeiting schemes globally.

But the Chinese have motives too:  they are accumulating gold in exchange for US Treasury bonds because they understand the USDollar will lose its reserve currency status soon, and the Chinese want the yen to have a seat at the global reserve currency table.  With gold-backing, the yuan strengthens its case substantially--as will the Russian ruble.

If all else fails, Obama will raise debt ceiling himself: analyst

The nation's debt ceiling will be raised:  the only questions are how, when, and by whom.  In the end, it won't matter:  it merely signals the insolvency of this country anyway, and we are too far down the rabbit hole of debt hell to reverse course.

The US will continue to pile on debt--until buyers are exhausted, which they've already shown an inclination for.  The Fed is now the buyer of last resort, and when they are the ONLY buyer of US Treasury debt, the end game of bankruptcy will reach our shores.

The USDollar itself is on death's doorsteps.  Hello, $1000 loaves of bread and $1000/gallon of fuel.

Looting the Pension Funds

http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/looting-the-pension-funds-20130926
So when you invest your pension money in hedge funds, you might be paying a hundred times the cost or more, you might be underperforming the market, you may be supporting political movements against you, and you often have to pay what effectively is a bribe just for the privilege of hiring your crappy overpaid money manager in the first place. What's not to like about that? Who could complain?

But the idea that these benefit packages are causing the fiscal crises in our states is almost entirely a fabrication crafted by the very people who actually caused the problem. It's like Voltaire's maxim about noses having evolved to fit spectacles, so therefore we wear spectacles. In this case, we have an unfunded-pension-liability problem because we've been ripping retirees off for decades – but the solution being offered is to rip them off even more.
