Stimulated/Austerity No matter what culture we talk about, it always fights the last war. Germany is scared to death about hyperinflation since that was its experience after the Communist Revolution in 1918 during the early 1920s. The United States has been scared to death about another deflation as in the Great Depression and chooses to […]

The EU Commission is now engaging in Financial Terrorism for they are the new Hit-Men. They deliberately targeted Cyprus from all the info we have coming from behind the curtain SOLELY because they wanted their banking system destroyed and amazingly, the politicians in Cyprus sold their own country out, after moving their own money to […]

There are actually people hinting behind the curtain that the Feds should take over all pension plans. I suppose they can then manage them like they do Social Security. Will this age of caring so much for us ever end? They are looking at more than $5 trillion there. The next crisis after 2016, who […]

Senators Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, and David Vitter, R-Louisiana, have a new bill that would make banks keep much higher levels of capital. With this new agreed upon position among governments that it is the DEPOSITOR who should do his own due-diligence, then the megabanks that trade other people’s money MUST be outlawed PERIOD! There can […]

The crisis we face is the collapse of society because those in government have been greedy and lined their pockets with our labor. On average, we are approaching the $3,000 mark per household that will soon be the cost of government pensions. This is a staggering number that begins to rise exponentially. This is why […]

Everything functions in a dynamic world – not in a one dimensional vacuum. The expansion of the money supply by the Fed of $3 trillion was NOT inflationary because it took place simultaneously with a contraction in leverage (money supply) of at least $5 trillion if not closer to $7 trillion. This is different when […]

Cyprus joined the EU when the bloc launched its “big bang” expansion, opening the door to 10 mostly ex communist countries in 2004, which then swapped their individual currencies for euros a few years later. However, unlike Greece or the rest of Southern Europe, the banks in Cyprus suffered heavy losses due to large Greek bond […]

One of the important developments is the Stockton, California bankruptcy. The jurisdiction for bankruptcy is federal court, not state. This is rather significant and the law is really clear, there are no exceptions among creditors under bankruptcy. A federal judge earlier this week gave the green light to Stockton, Calif. to restructure under bankruptcy protection […]

The popular nonsense is that the confiscation of assets in Cyprus was to force people to invest. Smart money has been moving from PUBLIC to PRIVATE. But if you really think these people think more than one step at a time, you are crediting them way too much. Yes, capital should not park in bank […]

Everyone keeps touting the demise of the dollar. They seem to be unaware of the global private debt bubble in dollars and how bullish that can be. During the 1980’s, banks in Australia sold Swiss loans on the basis that was the way to save massive interest with no view of the A$ whatsoever. Then […]
