Greenspan: "The Stock Market Is Great", But The Economy Feels Like In "The Late Stages Of The Great Depression"
I'm taking the over/under wager proposition on when former Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan-turned-truthsayer is demonized by the mainstream financial press. Another side bet could be made on when current Fed Chairperson Janet Yellen will accuse Greenspan of being a turncoat.

Federal Reserve Insider Alan Greenspan Warns: There Will Be a “Significant Market Event… Something Big Is Going To Happen”
Former Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan is starting to sound like a lunatic fringe, conspiracy theorist doomsday blogger. Only problem is he was one of the architects of this money-printing propaganda.

Central Banks Are Boosting Their Gold Reserves
This refutes earlier reports from mainstream media that Russia was selling its gold to raise reserves. Quite the opposite: Russia is accelerating their gold purchases to prop up the rouble. Eventually, between China and Russia (and Iran), their respective currencies will be backed by gold. This would destroy the value of fiat currencies from insolvent western economies.

Swiss Bank Says Investors Favor Gold Amid Charges on Cash
Negative interest rates are pretty much unprecedented. Instead of paying investors interest on deposits, banks are charging depositors interest to park their money.
Given the risks inherent in IOU's (interest rate, reinvestment, inflation, default, rating downgrades, liquidity), it's mind-boggling that investors are buying debt instruments at all. But to be charged an interest rate on top of all the negatives indicates a financial universe gone mad.

How the Fed Presidents’ Assets Stack Up
Federal Reserve Bank presidents and governors are often deservedly portrayed as anti-gold proponents (at least while they are in office) due to their official mandate to support a strong dollar policy (and unofficial mandate to suppress precious metals). For the alert, check out Dallas Fed President Richard Fisher's portfolio. It belongs in the "do as I do, not as I say category."
On the contrary, Fisher's hawkish tone often is the lone dissenting voice against a dovish Fed stance. so Fisher talks the talk, and actually walks the walk.

http://economix.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/01/31/how-the-fed-presidents-assets-stack-up/
Mr. Fisher, a constant siren on the subject of inflation, owns at least $1 million in gold, and smaller quantities of platinum and uranium, popular investments for those who fear inflation.

The "Catastrophic Shutdown Of America's Supply Chain" Begins: Stunning Photos Of West Coast Port Congestion

Some Words Of Advice From Kyle Bass
This a re-run of Kyle Bass, who forecasted the subprime mortgage meltdown and financial crisis of 2008. His predictions in 2011 have not come to fruition--at least not yet. His purchase of a $1 million of nickels is extreme, but it's a classic move coherent with Gresham's Law. Sorry readers, some things you'll just have to Google.

Paul Craig Roberts – The Matrix Is Real & How It Will Change All Of Our Lives: Trends Journal Exclusive
The author of this article sounds like an anti-American, conspiratorial, lunatic fringe blogger who's gone off the reservation. He manages to demonize both aisles of our political spectrum. The only problem with that narrative is he is a former Assistant Secretary of the US Treasury for Economic Policy, who worked for the Reagan administration. Here is his impressive curriculum vitae:
http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/pages/about-paul-craig-roberts/
In other words, he was part of the financial status quo. Yet today, he is exposing the lies and shenanigans of our government and complicit media.

German Bund Yields Below Japanese Bonds For First Time Ever As BoJ Loses Control
I've been watching the Japanese government bond market for a while. This could be the beginning of the end for Japan. If/when the Bank of Japan loses control of the yield curve, Japan is cooked--due to its huge debt-to-GDP ratio. This could be one of many black swans in global markets. Unfortunately, Japan is the precursor to all insolvent western economies.

Is The "Other" Most Crowded Trade Of 2015 Starting To Crack?
If crude oil did indeed bottom out last week, accompanied by peaks in the USDollar and US Treasury bond prices (i.e. a bottoming of yields), guess where gold and silver are headed? Of course, nothing rises or drops in a straight line, so high volatility in all asset classes should not be surprising. Prices at the gas pump have already jumped higher.

UAF storm Donetsk Airport and get their asses handed to them by NAF. FULL VERSION [Warning: Graphic]
I'm sure this very disturbing video will be taken down soon. Ukrainian armed forces are captured and paraded through eastern Ukrainian civilian groups imploring the Ukrainian military to stop shelling their own country.
Who are the evil forces? "Russian separatists" backed by Putin, or Ukraine Prime Minister Poroshenko, who was put into power by NATO and the US?
