Blind to the truth and naive to the threat.

The generations now and to come have evolved differently than ever before, they have adapted to the new technological super powers. Adults commonly ask their kids how to set up the DVD player, or fix the computer, add applications to their phone. The children who were born in this digital age are immune to the process of information, or what it took for so many to research a story or find information and learn or find the real story being told, the truth. Teacher’s friends and family is how and where we got answers to our questions growing up, and the answers could vary, the views bias and limited. The World Wide Web changed so much and quickly, adults and kids know the web and know just how to use it. Through trial and error along with lessons and guidance, most children have realized that not everything you see or read is true. The facts may not be how it is portrayed to the public or it could be blatantly inaccurate. They may have learned this from utube or watching a puppy fly though space while playing the banjo even Google by asking the web if eating road kill is good for you. They make the fatal mistake and show or tell someone “yes eating road kill makes you grow extra arms…then they are corrected and realize there are different answers that come up depending on who write it. It sinks in and they become aware all truth told may not be reality.

This enforces the key that makes us all unique… free will, our choice. We have a choice to believe what we are being told. This was something the powers that be predicted and this is how and why they are literally brain washing us through our subconscious. Since the beginning of time, we have been lied to by the “storytellers” lies on top of lies. Who was the first man in America, the world was flat, human sacrifice made the sun shine, credit is good, marijuana is bad, cigarettes, and liquors are good, etc. We at least know through modern technology the next generations will have a chance to experience real and true history, information that will shape them give them empathy through knowledge, not create the sheep so many have been thus far. This is of course if they make it past the many distractions produced that heavy detract from the path to enlightenment of true reality.

 The unknown, our imagination, creativity, fantasy, the extraordinary capabilities of the mind. Our mind is so powerful we have such a complex thought process fueled by hormones and the love of western medicine. Many marketing specialists and behavior analysts, doctors, scientist’s ands researchers have perfected playing into our fears, wants and needs or at least what we think we need. Our primal instincts, our responses, our necessities, and desires have been under attack though our own fear. Fear of threats to family, self, and home, our self-concept questioned induced by fear and intrigue as to what could be. Our human nature, our true thought process analyzed and TPTB preying on this. Media has created villains out of races, countries, cities, even stereotypes in people. This false threat and fear has shaped societies for thousands of centuries. We see it all over in history from the Mayans to Genghis Khan, as far back as c. 515 BC that we know of, “The Rise of Darius to The Persian Throne”, then “The Arthashasta” c.350-283 BC, and of course, the Romains used it c.59 BC - 17 AD, repeatedly. Now we have stars and icons to obsess over or try to be like, unrealistic lifestyles of the one percent. Movie stars that had/have more influence over the public opinions than most politicians or professors do in America, and may I add, get paid much more. 

We the nation… is completely media run and undereducated historically, even with all the new things to learn and accessibility, ideocrassy is the new normal and denial is a common trend in the US. History and economics, the global finances, how things are bought and sold, etc. Many people do not even know what is going on and never will, what sanctions America has put on Iran or Russia, or many other countries we are involved with politically and financially. It is not “entertaining” to know who we trade with or what will happen when Obama pushes through the Trans-Pacific Partnership, or if they do, it is because they saw it on “E” or some mid-day talk show, just because it was a wiki leak. 

I am always shocked to hear news casters blabbing about what is to come or focusing on the opposite way the market is moving, padding the pockets of TPTB. Everyone is titled to their own ideas and opinions in the US, right! Freedom! yet we are kept blind and distracted by media and some other catastrophe that detours the true threat from the masses. The public so naive in the belief that America has our best interest at heart and just because the facts show how wrong that statement is, the belief is everything will be alright. Because our government would never let it happen (said in a flamboyantly sarcastic tone), they would never do the unimaginable. 

Blind to the truth and naive to the threat. 

I cannot stand election year, listening to the pointless lies told by candidates fueled by power and money funded by expectations and greed. You may choose not to listen to it, not to vote, it is a choice. They say every vote counts, but I do not believe they even count the votes it is all predetermined. The powers that be (TPTB) the big Banker clan runs the government, so whoever big business wants to represent their ideals and choices is who will be represented as our leader. It is a shame; I still do not think everyone even realizes that government controls the news and Hollywood, all stations owned by six corporations. We have supreme power as individuals in our newly developed android state of existence. The SiFi movies and books from our past would have had you believe the twentieth century would have brought people driving freely from planet to planet in our space cars while teleporting our friends over. Perhaps robots would be our house cleaners, drivers and workers, a world would run by robots, all there to serve us, and make life better. People were afraid of jobs being taken away by robots replacing so many people. They should have been afraid of free trade. Then the benefits, robots fighting our wars and keeping our planet and humanity safe and clean. It is the twentith century now and we do we have robots and computers they are doing it all fighting with drones and cleaning our planet. Now most of all humans have become androids without an external robot. 

Everyone you know has a smart phone, it has become a true extension of our body and thoughts, giving us super-human powers and abilities like never before, and it even comes with applications that will consistently advance the droid in them. The access to information and power to learn now can be limitless. Having this kind of resource at your fingertips gives us an unimaginable advantage, it not only makes your life easier it gives us a way to learn what you want when you want. Most people will never take full advantage dipping into the abyss of information, the layers of networks, understand the programming involved or what engineering it takes to rapidly grow in this informative black hole. Amazing and life changing advancements have come from exploration in this digital world by some of the best minds in existence. Easy enough for anyone to learn to explore on it gives you the ability to learn at your pace. Imagine what its like for a baby or child introduced to it. The young brain growing and it learning how to teach, it evolving while their mind like a sponge soaking the liquid information up. We have not even learned what the mind is capable of or what results this new technology will have on a developing mind. Up until 1920 we did not even see infant children as humans, while Watson tested and electrocuted baby Albert to if they really felt pain and emotion. Now we know that babies can learn while in the womb. Knowledge is power. The power this vast amount of information provides and can give children is beautiful and somehow terrifying all in one. Information we learn throughout childhood shapes us as adults, information leads to the decisions you will make in life, rights and wrongs your ethics and morals. Those choices are influenced by what information is available, and where it’s coming from and how you receive it. All we know as humans is what we are taught; humankind is easily manipulated and prone to conform, our primal instincts though diluted by society remain in the sense to follow or lead. Between men and women, fighting for the lead and BPA and overly consumed soy pumping estrogen into us the leadership position is undesirable. Keeping the masses passive is beneficial for the shepherds, this way the public does not see the true grim reality that we are living in and facing.

  People keep stating that we are going back to the cold war, that Russia and China will create WW3. I have even fantasized the outline of it, the corruption in waging war with Iran and blaming Russia or China in the US fight for the petrodollar, convent a war in Yemen or an oil line bombing…yet, I feel that we have been in WW3 for some time now. It is a currency war, a war for the reserve currency and petrodollar, and we are losing. This is the first administration to prioritize immigration and non-working heath care over the blatant threats and geo political acts of war that are threatening us now, we are losing allies and all hope for what once was the American dream, as we stand by and witness this administrations wiping away our rights and giving our money away, creating slaves for the one percent.

Clinton was at least very concerned when Putin started building the underground bunkers in 2012 Moscow alone built over 5,000 nuclear bomb shelters and now Putin has built a 400 square mile shelter in the Southern Ural Mountains hidden inside the Yamantu Mountain in the Beloretsk region. It is approximately as big as Washington DC’s beltway, along with the food he has planned for his people and has been paying to guarantee that his people will be safe well fed and protected the facilities that could house most of Russia for years in comfort. The US has nothing like that, we do not have thousands of bomb shelters and foods for our people we do not even have food for our people, there is no exit strategy for the public. It is so sad because we the people are paying for the privet bunkers of one percent. I guess they assume we will all just die, a form of population control, perhaps.

 Lack of outdated weapons owned by Russia is a thing of the past. Putin created a new national defense facility in Moscow developing new anti-ballistic missiles to keep the nuclear missiles from reaching them in the first place it was said to be completed in 2017 but it is said to be active now. Again, the US has nothing like that in 1996 the Russian denied any existence of the bunkers and kept building despite the end of the cold war. In a rare interview in 1998 General Eugene Harbinger at the time he was the commander of the US strategic command (STRATCOM) said it was bigger than they thought it’s estimated to be millions of square feet, with a railroad and highway built to it, tens of thousands of workers have been working on it for years now. The US then saw this area along with China as a “”potential key target for US nuclear war planners stated in a Washington post article by Bruce G. Blair. Clinton at least saw that it is as a major issue. Russians do not love the US it is said as of today approximately 81% of Russians have a negative view towards the US, and now Obama’s interference with Ukraine has made it much worse. The house of representatives urged Obama to send lethal aid after stating that he would send non-lethal aid, however, the only way Obama would send lethal aid to Ukraine was if they issued a sovereign debt with US guarantee making it essentially part of the US the same thing he did in Egypt with the Muslim brotherhood that caused a (to put it nicely) a rift with our one ally Saudi Arabia. I cannot think of a past US president that would let other countries ostracize America the way it is now, or hate us the way they do. No other leader would let china the second largest economy open up the AIIB and invite all countries but two (we supposedly declined) or let Putin make deals for major changes with china India and Pakistan, even Saudi Arabia is selling gas to Russia and China in Yuan not the USD . When bush was in office, it was assumed he was not really making any decisions for himself. It did not matter who ever was making the decisions, they were the ones to fear, and countries did they feared us. We were the leader and the treat there security, ally and enemy all the same. It was understood Bush is goofy or just dumb nature was not what they needed to worry about, but at least they worried. The other counties respected him to some degree, unlike our current situation. Obama is about to make our final and biggest mistake with the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) it will make what Clinton did with free trade look like a May fair. I do question the whole thing because china wants no part in the TPP, and that is note worthy

 Clinton who I was all for, despite him being a corporatist, sabotaged us with the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) a trilateral trade block between Mexico, the US and Canada this was the first countries involved with the free trade agreement. If you don’t really know exactly what NAFTA is let me explain, NAFTA consists of the North American Agreement on Environmental cooperation (NAAEC) and the North American Agreement on Labor Cooperation (NAALC) this created the worlds largest free trade zone. Opening countries up to the flow of goods and services sounded so appealing, created production added different factor endowments and absolute advantage with the countries that could produce goods or services on a large scale or that had natural resources. Lower costs of production and cheaper resources also gave advantages and created an outsourcing of jobs. This was in 1994 since then the US economy has lost around 700,000 jobs due to NAFTA, according to the Economic Policy Institute EPI said in 2011 that trade to Mexico supported 791,000 and the jobs we would have needed without the NAFTA agreement would have been 1.47 million. Still today, billions of US dollars and jobs are lost to NAFTA. Yet, other counties saw huge benefits from NAFTA and in 2010; the growth of Mexican auto imports alone surpassed what they ever estimated, just to put it in perspective, it created more Mexican jobs than the entire US auto industry. Sine 1985 the US has free trade with over twenty countries as of now. Since it worked out so well the Obama administration negotiated the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TTP). We the little people only even know about it because of the wiki leak. Obama did not do it under the Department of State; he went straight to the trade representative Ron Kirk. This was the way to use “fast track authority” Congress is supposed to review, modify and treat it like a legislation and end with a two-thirds vote. Instead, it will have to be a yes or no vote, with minimal tame frame and a majority rule. This really will strip the US of any chance we had of real economic growth, true supply and demand, America will never be able to be what it once was. This gives investor privileges a whole new meaning. The right to move capital without any limits, and it covers way more goods and services extending to, intellectual property, permits, and derivatives. It banned any performance rights, and foreign firms would get compensation for loss of “future profits”. Most of all special guaranteed treatment for firms that relocate. The issues with medicine and patenting rights cancel out all hope for generic affordable pharmaceuticals so who cares about “free” healthcare if you cannot afford the solution. This would allow them to overrule our sovereignty adding US laws to foreign countries is completely unconstitutional.

I dream that our leaders know history and could embrace the fascinating and powerful counties together and could see each other with a heart and soul, empathetic to suffering and pain. They seem so human in their “tweets” (eye roll) so many have been praised by the public. Putin has been praised as being very likable, even funny and handsome, even japans prime minister is thought of as warm and kind, Obama funny and charismatic. I am sure social media plays a big part in humanizing the leaders, making them more likeable and relatable as the tweet there thoughts. Putin and has positioned himself out of necessity and frustration with sanctions by the US. He has looked to his neighbor china that has a quite similar past. XI Jin Ping signed a ten-year contract with Russia to build a 7,000-kilometer high-speed rail ink from Beijing to Moscow. It will be expanded across Europe and Asia, this is a big deal not only for the ten year partnership with China but the new Asia Infrastructure Investment bank (AIIB) that is taking place isolating the west. China is creating economic insurance with India, Pakistan, and Russia along with all others except The US, Japan, and North Korea. These moves taking place have to be aligned with something bigger. The US has to be up to something, a grand plan, would we really risk nationalization of a new currency at China’s control? Or let the Petro-Yuan take us out? I mean we have to know the end game…Right.

I would love to believe that these countries are as fed up with the US as I am. Sick of listening to the lies and barrage of underlying manipulation by TPTB. Other counties are tired of dealing with the mean parent America has become. We cannot mind our own business we keep popping up where we do not belong issuing sanctions and controls, at a whim. They have to be fed up, now that the revered America is being seen for what it is debt based and full of holes with a drowning economy and no hope in sight. The US was seen as a security for other countries inspiring to follow our lead, our freedom and rights the love of the people, and a government with a goal to make things better for each person, a financial system that saves your money and enhances your life insurance for your children’s children.

 I feel like I am at the end of wizard of OZ, American people represented by a loyal Dorothy, with values and hope searching for answers from OZ. OZ our leader a godlike entity, full of the answerers we are searching for. Searching for OZ to lead us and guide us, then you pull the Curtin back and all is revealed, TA DA its Gilbert Gottfried or even Rosanne Barr, and OZ is seen for what it is just a greedy human playing us all. Good witch as Elizabeth Warren and the bad witch Janette Yellen trying to actively screw over along our yellow credit fiat road we call. OZ does not care and when considering America is bankrupt in a pit of unplayable debt our OZ created for our children to inherit. The US government has pledged National parks and lands for the debt they create right to the FED. My land your land, non-profit organizations; federal territories, even birth certificates of people who will inherit wealth, all given to the Federal Reserve. The hypothecated assets pledged truly mean they can pledge something as a security without holding it. Roosevelt was declared bankrupt and insolvent in 1933 and created the Emerging Bankrupt Act, the beginning of the monetary fund. This is exactly what has led us to the massive debt were in today and always have been since 1933. When they removed the gold standard, things changed. The hypothecated pledge is based on what is called a Canon law Trust. It is protected by the Constitution and bill of rights and still used by international bankers today. This is a transfer of unplayable debt, and gives the sauvignon too much power, for they already own so much it is just leverage to them. Nothing like this ever took place until the Federal Reserve Act in 1913. It gave the people security at first, gold and silver were such a powerful currency, but heavy and an unmanageable daily, it was an awful inconvenience to store or carry such metals. The FED bears the risk lending or trading and you hold interest and principle payments by issuing a claim check that was “like gold or silver” so they created slips of paper. So now, you give real assets to The Federal Reserve (FED) and they give you Federal Reserve Notes (FRNs). FRNs were made to create debt through the devaluation of currency by the increase in fiat (money substitute). Without a corresponding increase of a true backing, the FRNs cause inflation. The FED is maritime lender/maritime insurance underwriter, or what I consider a loan shark, they take your assets and give you a piece of paper till you can pay the real unplayable debt back. If we only knew…They never cared about the debt the interest was enough. It was all a trick a power game and FED is still winning. You cant pay back the FRNs with FRNs, no paying debt with debt but as long as you paid the interest there was no stipulation on the principle, because the Federal Reserve Act stipulated all interest must be paid in gold.

We were set up to fail, who knows what our amazing, all for the people, freedom, and rights, blah blah blah government really is doing. Who knows just what they have pledged we know some but we do not know much. We are now just economic slave a nation built with blood and formed by lies and greed, pledging dedication and then turning its back. Photos and social media have humanized other cultures and acceptance and empathy makes it all less scary not so distant and unnatural, it gives new support for what was once feared .This has brought our world closer. A need for each other together, learning the whole story not half-truths that are rewritten time and again. Can we come together and fight a real war like global warming or famine drought? The answer is no because as much as I would love to believe we can have peace, greed trumps all.

Bred Media Eugenics

Government through propaganda has been brain washing us in various ways, feeding us lies and keeping us just comfortable enough to stay unaware of the hypocrisy run nation, while they reap the benefits and manipulate us.  We are in a new age and we have a new idle, the Media, and the powers that be are racking what we do all the time, on our private personal time.  They are fitting us in to a particular demographic ideal for marketing and swaying us to buy, sell, look at, and even feel.  Big brother has gone to a whole new level; they even release endorphins when you walk into a specific store, designing ways to enhance your shopping experience so you will spend more.  We are a consumer-based nation.  It is so specific they can predict an estimated date will need and purchase certain items.  Billions are spent a year just to find out what kind of bath tissue you buy.  Think of every time you search the web, every site you search, your face book,  twitter even your images are loaded in to informational software categorizing your life and predicting your future, profiling what you post, look at and you every privet aspect, the thousands of external factors.  It is invasive in many ways to know that advertizing and manipulation is becoming tailored to fit just me.  We see this in new technology all the expanding and overwhelming unimaginable advancements, the ability to use robots to achieve what man cannot.         

 These advancements have caused people to become obsessed with technology and because these robots are so advanced, they are able to penetrate our lives on a subconscious level, these advancements as wonderful as they may be have massive side effects.  Information and knowledge breed power and control and those combined breed money.  In the wrong hands technology can do more than we can even imagine, the most outlandish, bazaar, even evil ideas or thoughts, the darkest places hiding in ones mind, technology can enhance, bring to life and fulfill those ideas.  It has been in the wrong hands throughout its existence evolving faster than humanity ever could, with many great minds combined it like us evolved learning and serving its masters faithfully.  Its has been bred to control the masses we are just slaves to the masters on a grand scale.  It controls us day to day, influencing us, pushing us, we just assume it is our choice our false free will.  We are desensitized to the subconscious rape-taking place and we seem so unaware.  Google can now predict the ways the market will move due to what searches are entered.  They are marketing our thoughts and fears taking our freedom and making us comfortable seeking the unknown.

 It almost could be the greatest social experiment ever.  I am not even touching the NSA or FBI spying on us without a court order, breaking everything America stands for.  This is just a small area in the mass amounts of media manipulation when it comes to advertising and marketing data.  Many people never read the applications you download or sites you use, you sign a waiver when you click on, download, or sign into those sites.

 Nothing makes me smile more than watching blatant yellow journalism on the morning news.  News has become a fundamental tool for the powers that be, a true way to steer the money.  While few see the big picture, they will never research the correlation between specific people or money that rules us all.  The corrupt ways of what some call a democracy.  I have read some amazing theories about what is to come, 2015, 2016, and every other year.  For the most part, I am pessimistic when it comes to the US and the out come of us or hope for humanity.  In turn, the information I research tends to be the same story repeatedly, “this year it will be the end of…”  “The world,” “the market,” “jobs,” “schools.”  Or it is…  “This time it will be the worst…”  “The biggest bubble ever!”  “The most catastrophic!” and “this time it’s like no other”…Now of course they push…  “Things will never be the same.”  The theories can be incredible, some very interesting and some just make you realize how uneducated many people are, for the most part they all have the same element, Fear.  It maybe brought to you by the (in a game show voice)…The USA, FED, Russia, Toyota, wait I got it, Tesla!  KGB, China, The DONG or kittens, Iran or it is possibly Alien government with unicorn technology! Fact is, it won’t matter who or what is doing the pushing, it will only matter why you are being pushed in that direction, what the final goal would be.  Therefore, we evolve, expanding our mind relearning what we once knew with a whole different type of perception.  understand this is like a game for the major entities and like any game some of the players are key the to winning, most are useless bench warmers, a small part of the game as a whole the bigger picture for the team has a audience and owners and that where the money is, because money is the win.  Even when a game is rigged, some they lose well the other won that is the beauty of it all, there is always a winner.  You just have to watch see if they threw it, why, who and what that benefited in the long run.  You will find the major players, the teams are not big but there are many, so learn the game, find what team you are on and watch closely at how their game is run, stick with a strategy, not just your own but look for the end game, get the team’s strategy because some teammates have and know the winning moves.

That Janet Yellen is quite a GUY! Part 2

“Give me control of a nations money and I care not who makes its laws”
~Mayer Amschel Rothschild

The decision made by the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) today is fundamental to the direction of the USD and the US economy. The market responds to the FOMC meetings and anticipation of their decision to raise, extend, or lower the Federal Funds interest rate. The FOMC also makes the decision to increase or decrease money supply. We have seen them increasing money supply since 2008 purchasing long term treasury and mortgage backed securities and quantitative easing (QE) and it has caused interest rates to fall to zero percent, the lowest rate possible. The FED spent eighty-five billion a month buying up those securities. In the last few years the have cut back by ten billion a month. The playbook the FED has been using has been misleading trying to fight economic weakness by using a synthetic form like (QE).
If the FED wants economic growth, they decrease rates. Too much of anything is never good; going to any extreme is very bad. An economy that grows too fast leads to inflation. The increase in rates would slow the economies growth, too slow leads to a recession. Any change in the Federal Fund interest rates will impact us all; even the domestic public will feel the effect with the cost of credit. It will impact the direction of the USD, and how the US economy performs overall. Our economy is barley a float and I am being generous in that statement
Seven years since the crash, Yellen may be forced into a hike; the longer it takes for the inevitability of increased rates the harder the recovery will be. The impact would change everything on a global scale. Could the FED even risk a hike? They will have to raise them eventually, and what better time all the numbers are lined up. The USD is in popular demand. Everyone wants USD this leads to an over stimulated demand. Fact is, finding USD counter parties for swaps is difficult, and a raise could help. If they don’t raise people may abandon the USD, even though the FED would never admit that. To raise or not to raise that is the question. Since the FED is independent what is best for them? The FEDs choice really has nothing to do with the economy and stability of monetary polices. This is about the bubble of government debt that cannot be serviced at a higher rate, even if the US had the tax base to do so. The wages report proved we can’t afford to service the debt, if those numbers are even close to the truth. It is a lose-lose situation.


The anticipation has begun. We already see investors who bought high price stocks pulling out before the FOMC meeting. This time around, bonds are no longer a safe haven; the European Union (EU) and the FED have set the market up for a crisis, a historical bond market collapse. The mass (QE) in Japan and Europe has created a runaway dollar making real US economic recovery impossible. The FED is running out of options. Force the domestic public to buy treasury debt and get low yields bankrupting the people. It could be the reverse bankrupting the FED with high rates in interest and mass retracting of domestic cash availability. The economic activity would be crushed by the Treasury’s detraction of five percent off the GDP. Under a mandate, the FED has to pay any profit that acquires from the interest rate increase back to the Treasury so government pays zero in FED held bonds anyway so the raise would not really benefit the FED or impact the government the way one would think. They keep talking about a small rise. Just a one percent rise in interest on debt would total around one hundred and eighty billion dollars added to the FEDs interest. If US Treasury bill becomes too pricy for the government, they will need to be bailed out by the FED and then the FED buys up those expensive bonds. This buying would be a domino effect of disaster, starting with forcing the USD in to the system by QE4, then hyperinflation, the US dollar would be buried. Everything would collapse however all the debt would be gone. This may be the idea, they know much more information than we can even imagine, this could be the “master plan”, the real reset right around the corner.
Will they monetize debt and risk mass inflation? They would piss off every bondholder in the world causing unpredictable consequences. I personally don’t think they will raise rates, not yet and probably not in June. They could go lower, however negative rates are discouraging to investors. They would issue QE4 before they lower them. The risk of negative rates would rip apart the US defecate, the financing costs would be immense. Negative rates would show just how bad it is and I doubt the United States would pay a premium for foreign investors to have cash in the US. If recovery is possible, true economic recovery will never happen with negative rates, and they know that. The increase would cause a political frenzy, voters who have never even thought the raise could effect them will be looking at all the politicians demanding an explanation looking for someone to blame, the derivatives market implodes and it becomes clear that these trusted politicians have been piling the bank derivative liabilities on the United States taxpayer.
The FED has a limited historical perspective on what a healthy functioning financial system really looks like. Have we seen a healthy economy? Do we have a clue what normal bonds look like? An economy where we put money into a CD or account and get paid to save our money. To better our economy as a whole, a normalized economy. The years of manipulation and bailouts have desensitized people into bad decisions with their investments that didn’t even make sense to begin in the first place. Bonds and stocks have been pushed by the zero percent interest rates at unsupportable levels.
The market is overvalued and if the FEDs decision were based on real data as much as they claim, the rates would have increased a while back. We already see investors who bought high price stocks pulling out before the FOMC meeting. Yellen may push the decision back till June in realizing the massive momentum of equities sell offs. The market has already reacted. With little regard for yields, big money ran out and bought up overvalued bonds, praying the FED will extend the decision till June. This time around, bonds are no longer a safe haven. The European Union (EU) and the FED have set the market up for a crisis, a historical bond market collapse. Manipulation of bond rates from trillion dollar swaps has been the course were on, it would be harder to reverse it now. The raise would cause the bond market meltdown and a market crisis. Bonds have been the life support for banks. If they rise rates an even a quarter point, like they are implying. On a one percent yield, big money would dump all bonds paying at one percent and buy up the one and a quarter. It would cause instability with the bond market, and this bubble is getting bigger and bigger. The end of QE caused an international tsunami into US bonds. They may not have a book that can help this time.
Truth and lies move the market the most; sadly, one isn’t different from the other, the truth, or the lie. It doesn’t matter what’s real or not because human behavior is what you trade on or invest in. Behavioral, social, Industrial, all psychologists and analysts, teams of them all put together with specialists in marketing just to predict what you do, say, how you feel, live, dress, but most of all…what you will spend and spend it on. Let’ say for instance you spend on the market, well they know what you are going to purchase, sell or watch and “they” the big money bet on it. Government runs our media and how and what we believe to be real, news, trends, politics and finance. The decision starts today and with the housing numbers so dismal it looks like an extension and more “patience” is in order, how convenient.

It will be a panic driven recovery

That Janet Yellen is quite a GUY!

Part 1
Last year Ben Bernanke’s predecessor Janet Yellen was sworn in as the Federal Reserve’s (FEDs) chairperson February 2014, she is the first women to lead the FED in its one hindered year history; many people attribute her position to Obama because she was his top pick for the chair. It became clear she would follow in the footsteps of Bernanke after leading her first meeting a little over a month after being sworn in. The decisions the FED make effect every person on a global scale; they truly are the most powerful independent entity in the world. Although the FED is independent, the FEDs governor positions of the FOMC members are appointed by the US President with the approval from the US Senate for fourteen year terms. This fourteen year term is designed to minimize the political influence one president could have over the board. The FED tells us their goal is to have steady economic growth, Yellen has been open about her goals normalizing the US economy.
If the FEDs decision was truly based on data as much as they proclaim they would have increased rates already. If the US showed signs of real economic recovery, Yellen wouldn’t have to tiptoe around her wording the way she is. The FED recently has tried to become “more transparent” with their decisions. Yet, we as the domestic public are only allowed to know very limited information as to what exactly they as a whole are looking at. The FOMC members look at what they call a “Green Book” the forecast of the US economy, a “Blue Book” that holds monetary policy alternatives and the “Beige Book” that is the only book of these three that is released to the public two weeks before the FOMC meeting. This Beige Book holds a description of economic conditions from each Reserve banks district.
The anticipation of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting is just as important when trading Forex as the actual rise or decrease of the interest rate decision. Statements made by any FED member are extremely important. Analysts dissect every word and examine the language used. For many, a hedge on what decisions the FED make is the key to outsmarting the competition and profiting. The media loves any statements made about or by the FED, it is difficult to look at the facts with the government run media polluting the market with meaningless opinions, or what they want you to believe is the direction they are taking. Even the announcements by the FED itself can be misleading, for instance they took two years to stop Quantitative Easing (QE) after saying that they were considering it. Fortunes ride on every word of the Federal Reserves announcements. No other legislative entity has more power and influence on how the financial market moves than the FED. Other counties look to the FED for direction and have even followed the FEDs monetary policies, and continue to do so. This coming meeting is particularly important for many private traders, investors, and big money. This meeting is on the Federal Funds interest rate change, an increase or the decrease of Federal Funds interest rates. The decision will impact every US bank’s interest rate fee and how they lend and barrow money.
For those that don’t know what the FOMC interest rate decision is, let me briefly explain. One could think about the importance of this meeting and announcement like the government quarterly earnings report. Eight times a year the FOMC meets to set the monetary stance, fixing the federal funds overnight borrowing rate. This federal funds “interest rate” is what you hear so much about, the rate the Federal Reserve (FED) lends balances to other depository institutions, banks borrowing reserves and lending to one another at the Federal Funds Rate. The FOMC sets a target rate rage; however, the Open Market actually decides the rate itself. That is why most of the terminology used by the FED is vague or abstract misleading even contradictory. Market forces determine the actual rate itself. The FED will do what it needs to by influencing the operations in swaying the Open Market a multitude of ways. The FOMC makes changes based on non-specific economic data and undisclosed target numbers. Banks, credit unions, all depository institutions are required to keep a target amount of money in reserves at all times. For instance when a bank is over or low on that target reserve they must borrow or lend. A bank above the target is sitting on non-interest gaining money and will be lent to another who is low on their target reserve. The Federal Funds Rate adjusts to the supply and demand of bank reserves .The decrease in rates comes from the reserve supply being greater than the demand causing a decrease in the funds rate. The reports that are looked over by the FOMC from the Central Banks (CB) is ultimately what sets the target rate for now and direction in the future. If a rate decrease is needed, the FED buys US treasury securities creating new money and a larger reserve supply, increasing bank reserves without overnight borrowing in the reserves market. If the reserve supply demand is higher than the supply, they raise rates. The increase means the FOMC would sell US treasury securities causing a reduction of bank reserves and more overnight borrowing. The FED buying and selling open market operations and US Treasury securities is the way they implement monetary policy and maintain the target rate. The problem is liquidity keeps drying up, then open market law fails as money increases then becomes too expensive for government to borrow, this is what Yellen is trying to avoid.

ECB Roadside assistance, AAA cant help

ECB Roadside assistance, AAA cant help

Two European Central Bank (ECB) meetings are coming up and traders should take note.  The first is a meeting on January 7 on non-monetary policy, the other a very important meeting is on the monetary policy followed by a press release, and a maintenance period that will last until March 10 to guarantee that the appropriate funds are available for those decisions. Statements and leaks have indicated that the ECB is going to use Quantitative Easing (QE) to purchase an abundance of government bonds.  Alternatively, they would have the central banks purchase so the country or countries individually would take on the risk of amount borrowed or owed separate from the interest.  They could buy bonds that are AAA rated these have little to no risk of default.  The AAA rating is issued by credit rating agencies; these bonds have the highest creditworthiness and guarantee liability.  Only four companies were left with an AAA rating after the financial crises in 2008. It seems over and over we see failed attempts on monetary expansion and all the monetary measures have been used up. They keep trying to offset deflation by printing and borrowing while weakening currency and eroding the economy.

            The ECB declined to comment, however Peter Praet, ECB chief economist had made many indications that these options are what is being considered. The Prospect of more QE has the EUR/USD dropping searching for any support. Wall street is feeling the impact hitting the biggest fall in the last three months. Commodity currencies also felt the panic, and U.S. treasury yields fell, many found a safe haven in the USD and JPY. Between the ECB meetings and the low numbers from Germany and possible withdraw from the Euro by Greece, the Euro has a long road ahead.

They just didn't have enough Greece to make it run properly

In 2012, Ebrahim Rahbari and Willem Buiter CitiGroup’s Chief Analysts came up with the term “Grexit” a blend of Greece, Euro, and Exit.  Following the Financial crisis in Greece it was acknowledged that they might be leaving the Euro, predicting that more money lent would hurt the Euro and neighboring counties and the Grexit would be the only other option than differentiated government bond yields.  In 2012, De la Rue a British money printing company was rumored to have been printing out the fresh drachma, which takes an estimated six months from time of order placement to printing on paper.  These rumors and fear created a nine-month money withdrawing frenzy.  It was estimated that Greek banks deposits fell by thirteen percent constructing a plan to impose control on the movement of money anticipating more panic with upcoming elections.

Convincing the people of Greece to leave the Euro to support a currency that will potentially collapse was not the only challenge.  The economic depression that this would cause would end with slow economic growth for many, not to mention the hardship the Greek citizens would face.  The Deutsche Bank stated in 2010 that Europe accounted for twenty-five percent of world trade; it was the largest trading partner between China and the United States.  Speculation that European stocks would plummet fifty percent and other nation’s bond yields could widen 100 to 200 basis points leaving them unable to service their own sovereign debts.

            The Euro has hit a nine-year low, for many counties and regions unemployment, flat growth rate along with low inflation it seems impossible to reduce the debt levels that would help shift this trend.  The Eurozone is better assembled than it was in 2010, The Eurozone can handle the exit without a massive hit because the privet sector only has about five percent of Greece’s debt, and the government is better equipped with bail out funds ready for such events unlike five years ago.  However, this has nothing to do with the unpredictability of the people, investors, and stability that will directly affect and hurt the Euro and the ECB.

This has become not only a financial matter, it now is highly political.The upcoming elections on January 25 in Greece have sparked some not so inviting tones from France and Germany.  With new prime ministers in Italy and France ready to reform their nations in ways that have gained total support of Germany’s Angela Merkel, who has insisted European-imposed austerity on nations who really need the complete opposite. January will be a hard month for the Euro to regain at strength, too much is uncertain and unanswered. Many questions will be pending on the candidate Alexis Tsipras, who may soon be the youngest Greek leader at the tender age of forty with a left-wing alliance Syriza on his side it seems that they deem to diminish the austerity measures. This threat is creating disorder among Eurozone members. If Tsipras is elected it is not certain that Greece would exit the Euro but it is implied. Could Greece leaving the Euro cause a ripple effect and open Pandora’s Box to many other counties assuming their role?

Are you all paying attention, or just paying?

  “Hope

Smiles from the threshold of the year to come,
Whispering 'it will be happier'...”
― Alfred Tennyson

New Years brings many emotions and ideas among the masses. For some a new beginning, a start over, even hope.  For others it is a great excuse and a safe way to justify actions taken, or lack there of.  You will see a breakdown of ways the market will benefit and turn around after the New Year. When it comes to financial New Year, only about 65 percent of countries have the fiscal year (financial year) identical to the calendar year. For the most part largely traded companies worldwide follow the calendar year, with a few exceptions in the UK, New Zealand, Australia, and Japan.  For many countries there, fiscal year starts in April or July, those and many markets will not see the volume like the U.S. will come January first 2015. The U.S. had the first quarterly report come out and the numbers are looking great. Of course, they are positive that the second quarterly report will be even better. With no talk of interest rates from the FED, at least for now, we see a bullish market with all the holiday spending and anticipation in the “New Beginning”.

The National Association for Business Economics estimate a 3.1 growth in the next year. This has not taken place since 2005, since 2003 we had not seen economic growth like they reported, with the 5 percent yearly rate up from July to September this year.  However the faster the growth the faster the FED will try to raise the interest rates that could mean more vested interest from overseas. The accession of capital would increase the USD, causing other countries to struggle destabilizing their currency, making it hard for the entities to pay back the borrowed greenbacks.  This highlighting once again how disconnected and isolated the U.S. is from the ebb and flow that other countries are going through. Consumers in the U.S. drive growth, and favor the slow growth of other countries.  The numbers being pumped out seem to be fuel for investors to find a safe place in the USD.  With reports of the most jobs in fifteen years, saying America’s debt has declined to the numbers of 2002, ect.

Yet I live in the U.S. and just do not see it, I see unemployment everywhere and students with Master’s degrees unable to afford to buy a house, car or even find a job.  Now all we will have to do, is let them brainwash us into believing that they do have a plan to clean up our world, straighten out the economy, that it is not all a ponzi scam to rig the markets, take our money and enable QE4 (Quantitative Easing, round/phase 4) as quietly as possible.  While they convince us that of course, it has nothing to do with oil, money, or power. They seem to leave information out when reporting the statistics on economic growth, for instance how most of the GDP growth in the third quarter was spent on Obama care, they love to leave facts out.

 How will the FED get away with more QE or a raise in interest rates?  For starters they have to make the economy strong so QE4 is not an option or ineffective.  The fear that the FED will lose control is evident as well as manipulation of the “fundamentals” doing whatever it takes to save the market and their own piles of cash.  Now the world is watching there circus mesmerized and disgusted by the tergiversated attitude we see.  While they go on deceiving us, socializing the losses and privatizing profits, and completely misrepresent there intentions.  It is time to show and prove, and so far we have seen first hand what QE can accomplish.

They will have to straighten out Japan a little; because if Japan is the prime example for success of the FEDs great plan.  Japan was whom the U.S. was ensuing for years.  Japan the archetype for the great USA.  The FED may need to go back to the drawing board, or The Doomsday Book, what ever works for them because Japans situation is just a denouement of QE.  We should see the YEN getting stronger even though there own numbers have not been the best, they did take a hard hit with that large increase in sales tax last quarter.  That raise took a hit on consumer spending, and wedged them into the recession they are experiencing.  They are cleaning up the mess and doing what it takes to stimulate growth by Japans CB buying up financial assets and government bonds to advance inflation.  Let us not be so naive the U.S. is heavily invested in Japan and many of the counties that are suffering and we do have an amazing amount of power with the reserve currency being USD and the petrodollar we will not let some fall too hard. Fast growth may not always be the best, we need to stabilize and adjust to the change, rapid rates sometimes cannot be controlled. The lower oil prices benefit the U.S. spending, creating a way for many people to save and invest in assets, or the market. Lower oil prices really benefit Europe and Japan by expanding the economy globally.

Tis the season!

Reports keep coming out, giving Americans this false sense of hope.  With gas prices so low the little bit of loose change that the average person has in there pocket is making them feel overly confidant in their spending.  Christmas is here and we see the manipulation of advertizing hypnotizing individuals to buy, buy, and buy.  Many people in the U.S. live way beyond there means, so they spend credit, fiat that they do not have and probably never will.  Most people have acquired a mass amount of debt, so much so that the average citizen’s family debt is over 52,000 and the savings per family is under $8,000 those numbers don’t add up to a stronger economy, yet they keep spending what they don’t have. 

I say this because when I mention what a major impact Christmas has over the market, I just cannot stress how many positions one must understand to see just how this retail extravaganza affects the global economy.  Christmas is not just a major American holiday all of Europe and may other countries indulge is this free fall of debt, Americans are just primarily consumers so we see it on a larger scale.  While countries that Americans buy goods from seem to be doing better than average during this consumer holiday. For instance, Sweden that we buy jewelry and watches from and many high end items i.e. Rolex and Omega, not to mention the pharmaceutical companies that benefit from the stress of Christmas.  So many industrial companies are depending on this season and rely on the holidays for a majority of their revenue. Like China, where we get everything from, all benefit from sales for the last half of the year.

During this festive gut-wrenching holiday that is driven by guilt and a need to spend, and credit cards to be used at over capacity.  The need to buy presents for everyone you know is totally justified and expected before paying off your house or a your car or even your electricity bills, during this holiday all this spending seems like a reasonable idea and puts families in even more debt and panic heading into the new year.  When I talk about debt, I am not just talking about individuals, I want to include huge corporations and government as well. We have acquired massive debt and the numbers are growing yet all these reports are trying to convince people that we are headed in the right direction. With Christmas here we don’t need distractions like ISIS or Ebola to distract us and the news is all puppies and babies, in fact they avoid any negativity during the holidays. They want to keep us blind to the truth, out of sight out of mind.  

During the depressions in the past we have seen it first hand people lined up for aid and food, out in the streets begging for any help at all.  Now we are sheltered from it, we have a food stamp card, government assistance personnel, whole offices dedicated to housing, disability and welfare. Free government money is the new normal. 

An estimated 45 plus of Americans are on food stamps, that is about 15 percent of the population and I believe it is way more, but that is just what they report, more like 30 percent. Our children are growing up used to and accustomed to aid, and government assistance programs, they don’t see why it is a problem to be on assistance and don’t care about it at all. Most young women in America, single mothers depend and rely on that government check and while some do benefit from the situation, go to school and see it all as a temporary time and assistance in they’re life. Others make this a life choice and take full advantage of the help, just take what they can and are comfortable living off the government. While we stay blind to the numbers and are persuaded by the reports and the FED’s false confidence, energy manipulation and media. We sit back and spend just to enjoy a day with family and friends. Tis the season to sit back save and trade, take it from me, it may make your New Year a whole lot better. -Adrienne

The big “barrel” out

How can our own private oil companies compete with the Saudi state run oil companies?  The Saudis have predicted this decline for months now, so who is running this decline in the price per barrel. Who owns the most oil owns the world, and the Saudi empire cannot and will not be affected by the digital generated commodities prices, they will make revenue regardless.  Could it be such a large manipulation in oil price?  America’s grand schemes to keep Putin up at night, or keep Iran on its toes, disable Venezuela?  I do not think this was Americas plan, yes I see the pros in low oil; we can fund our overwhelming service economy.  Americans are huge consumers, when those numbers drop right before Christmas people are not spending, instead they are saving. This can take a toll on the US more than low oil prices will. The FED has stated that a lower income would provoke more spending.  The benefits of the low oil price is primarily for the EU, China and most of East Asia, not the US or Putin.  I wonder if the FED and The Powers That Be thought this one through.

In 2005 we saw a need for oil at about 7 million barrels a day, it is estimated that that number will be above 9 million by 2015.  With oil need higher than ever, many companies took out massive loans in this expectation and hope oil will again be over $100 a barrel as previously.  The US production was in full force before the ultra steep decline in price per barrel.  The lower prices have made it impossible to expand production, and have put the bids on the energy index far into the red; in fact, the energy market has been one of the worst sectors on the index.  In October when people were saying how $88 a barrel was at an all time low, and the seasonal need for oil would boost cost and not to worry.  The analysts at OPEC were extremely wrong this time, since as of today it stands at $63.56 and heading lower.  It seems that oil is falling at an astronomical rate as low as it has been since 2010 after the last crash. It seems people forgot it was as low as $35 in 2008-2009 and we are still in the $60 range, is this decline a indicator of what’s yet to come.

  Not to mention that energy sector on the index makes up the second largest high yield bond market for investors and with oil rates dropping and the energy sector performing badly it has many of those investors pulling out leaving the banks to cover the high liquidity its causing.  The selling of the banks high-yield debt exchange traded funds “junk bonds” overall banks may not be able to sell off the bonds to break even.  The sizable share decline could push the high yield market down lower leaving investors looking for a new investment.

We are living in a massively over-leveraged economy, how can we achieve sustainable economic growth with this extreme debt the monetary system has created.  The fiat and crypto currency and any digital form of decimal points have created a need to hold on, and seek out a safe hold for our investments.  What was once seen as a smart move for a working citizens to invest in a bank or IRA even SSI is now a total nightmare. Deceiving people and lies seem to make more money that honor and truth, and if we are talking about the big bucks, we are taking heavy manipulation .It seems nothing is sacred anymore and it all comes with a price tag attached, we have police and government that we all once trusted breaking us down and pushing us further into a hole we cant climb out of.  46,000,000 individuals have been on food stamps for 37 straight months.  They say unemployment is at an all time low but they only count people that are filing for the first time.  For many investors, looking at the numbers and graphs it would seem that the US is growing steadily and things are A-OK. Things couldn’t be further from the truth and its about time to make some real money. Don’t just follow the trend, the information can be overwhelming and takes more time than many people can invest into a profitable strategy. I continue to gain in trading metals as well as fourteen different currency trades weekly.  

Gang Related

For years now, the United States was eager to follow in the footsteps of Japan.  In the new-found sector Japan has come into, regarding inflation sheds light on the FEDs reality that Quantitative Easing (QE) may be here to stay.  The US is about to see inflation like never before.  News has come out stating that the raise in interest rates discussed by the FED is looking close to impossible to achieve.  Central banks create foreign capital that floods the US and pushes rates down.  The statements that have come out state that the FED has no idea how they will make it work without QE.  The focus and comments that Yellen has discussed about diversity within the FED would seem that she is more interested in women becoming executives than in finding a solution.  People may believe that the FED is controlled by Congress; truth is everyone is controlled by the FED, with an exception of banks holding mass amounts of precious metals they have more control than we could ever imagine. 

What will the solution be?  Can there even be one?  We are so in debt and printing money seems to be the only way the US will stay a global power.  Around the world, leaders are becoming more and more disappointed in the actions, as well as the lack of action, taken by the US.  This leads to uncertainty with the USD and has other world leaders looking at ways to prevent America and keep it from overpowering the decision making process for other countries that gain headway economically.

When you look closely at America, you can find some major flaws.  Yes, it is a land of freedom, and believe me when I say I am blessed to be in this country and to be a proud American.  The problem is Americans are such individualists.  The fact is we strive for individuality with ourselves, our families, especially when it comes to our money.  We are the prime example of low- and high-class categories.  When it comes to communities in the US, you see a strong bond in lower income communities, where reliance, family, and even gang affiliation...  If we look at this from a global military perspective, you see America as higher class, with other counties looking like those community driven neighborhoods.  So why wouldn’t they just team up with one another to create their own “gang?”  While Obama is looking at pipelines and immigration, he seems nearsighted to the fact that other countries are teaming up while America is warming the bench, unable to play at all.

America has not needed (so far) to team up or rely on anyone or anything but oil, keeping it in USD and keeping USD in global reserve currency.  Other countries are sick of us dominating the game.  America has the force and power to take over anything anywhere at anytime.  Just to put this in perspective, no mater how many weapons a country has, America reigns supreme.  Warfare is fought by the powers of finance more than weapons.  And we love to spend our QE on our military.

            Yet we see Putin making nineteen presidential trips this year alone, meeting up with many world leaders, most recently with Kim Jong-un.  That must have interested Hassan Rouhani, the leader of Iran, who has eagerly been waiting approval for “nuclear energy.”  The decision is supposed to happen Monday.  Is it so odd that we do not see this information on most news networks in the US?  This writer does not see approval going forward.  I doubt Rouhani will be surprised at the denial and why wouldn’t he just make Russia and North Korea his allies due to the fact they have the nuclear power Iran is in need of. 

Right now, other countries are feeling the wrath of treachery, power, and hypocrisy the US is ruled by.  No one seems to be feeling it more than Russia.  Globally we cannot survive without the oil from Russia, yet we keep pushing oil prices down, expecting them to fall.  We seem to forget that Russia has been living comfortably in a black market with hyperinflation since the 1990’s.  Us trying to destabilize them is close to impossible.  They are true survivalists and have the resources and global firepower to keep up with and surpass our already bankrupt US shale companies.  Putin knows Russia will be just fine when, in a few years, oil will be right back up and the US will be in yet more debt.  America is the most powerful when it comes to many things, the people are not survivalists by a long shot.  We are sheltered and blinded by media and comfort, but we mere sheep, with a government that is controlled by bankers not the democracy that so many would love to believe exists.

Putin is set on shifting the anti-corruption plan many countries set in place globally.  He has been preaching about the corruption of foreign leaders and it could be much closer to his home than we understand as regards the Ukrainian conflict.  The whole mess with Ukraine seems to be a conspiracy lover’s dream come true.  All we know is that the plane went down.  We have only a third party video and no black box to be found. Nor is there any solid information that Russia was the one to bring it down.  What is odd is that the Dutch have agreed to keep any information about MH17 a secret…and somehow they got 122 tonns of gold back from the NY FED.  We are trying to destroy the ruble by driving down oil prices, while in all reality it costs Russia only about $35 a barrel, unlike the US and its strict guidelines for oil manufacturing.  After the $35, the rest is all profit for the Russians.  Even with oil prices dropping gold keeps rising it seems to be all these newly formed teams are becoming more and more interested in.

Red Pill, Blue Pill = Bad Trip

If you want to believe the surge in oil prices today are a direct reflection of a strong economy, you are sadly mistaken.  A huge pipeline exploded in Saudi Arabia.  Prices fell under $76, possibly the U.S., Israel, Iran, Russia, or ISIS blew up a pipeline to increase the value of oil.  Yet the government stands firm that it is the increasing deflation in our economy.  Most likely, it was someone like Goldman amping up their Christmas bonuses.  This could be the most transparent administration we have even seen; the GOP could not even wait twenty-four hours to move the price of oil.  When oil prices fall, it hurts the GDP, and that the new senate just could not have that.  Our world is looking like some mainstream action movie with conspiracy, shooting down planes, deadly viruses, and terrorists, domestic and foreign.  I mean ok, the elections are over let the destruction begin, first up red team raise oil, bomb something!  Now increase the price of health Insurance and monopolize it ASAP.

 Seems there are no repercussions for all of the bold ringleaders, blatantly unleashing these catastrophes on the world, why are the people so blind to facts and numbers.  It is no wonder they want to legalize marijuana, it is not just the tax that states make millions on each month, really it is the only true hope we have for the economy.  It has to keep us blind to the obvious conspiracies and manipulation generated by the Administration and their Central Bank club.  The market was down, oil was down, oil goes up market is at an all time high, not really rocket science. Now with McCain head of senate let the chaos of military spending begin. What do we need now? A war with Russia would be great, they do not buy many bonds, and we are already liquefying the Ruble, making Putin unappealing for China and Iran to align with.  Higher defense spending is about to be the new normal, most of the GOP is ready and waiting.

We could just be so naive that there may not have even been a pipeline explosion at all, they could have just closed it off to shift the demand.  Oil manipulation is an odd one, you would think that with everyone having a phone and how into our “live” media and You Tube coverage that we are in touch with all of it.  I have been on the set of movies and helped with digital imaging and voice-overs.  I have seen what people can manipulate with technology, even if you see it and hear it; the simple fact is it may not be real.  How many times do you think “they” have gone into a country or village to gain information or resources and said it was for something very different?  Need more money with oil, bomb, or close a pipeline then buy or sell.  Need more military spending create a war?  Need to know what China’s technology is capable of, poof make a plane disappear.  It goes on and on. What we are seeing with metals is just another fine example of mass manipulation.  

The Lesser of Two Evils

As Americans today is a very important day, as midterm elections come to an end, so do many politicians dreams for change.  The social issues that most Americans vote on, or are concerned about are the least important to the masses.  I am not saying that gay rights and abortion are not worth campaigning and voting for.  This year you may want to hold back your own personal donkey vs. elephant emotions, because how the FED is run, is on our table for a vote, this could be the most important issue we face historically.  Could the FED and its interest rates be run by congress for the first time in history?

 This is what people should be worried about, if you have money in a bank, these issues should be what your main focus is on.  That the interest rate polices would no longer be controlled by the FED.  These issues are huge; in fact, this election is the first time we have seen members of the GOP issue bills like this.  Even when a bill to audit the FED was introduced 2012.  We saw what challenging the FED did to Ron Paul.  The FED is running our economy, so lets put aside our emotions about these social issues and understand what is really on the ballot here, the less active the FED is the much stronger the USD is.  We are seeing this now, the USD is on a four year high, this is because of many factors. A few of those factors are the announcements about what is happening with the FED and its decisions to end QE.  The negative interest in Europe and now this legislation challenging the FED, we see the USD rising with people’s new sense of security in the market and economy.

            The outcome of this election, which if the GOP takes the office, the FED will have to answer to someone, means its days of control will be limited.  The GOP has yet to control the senate since the 2008 crash.  That does not say too much, since the democrats have been in control we are also massively in debt, even though we also have not seen a crash like that since.  For any group to change the position of the fed, it could be a potentially suicidal situation.  If the FED raises the Federal funds rate this would destabilize the economy all the leverage and carry trades unwind, the stock marked sells off, because of leverage the prices would crash.  On the other hand, spending money is the power congress has.  Lowering interest expanse, congress is empowered to spend more created and taxed dollars by the trillions.  It is kind of a lose-lose situation.

Elections should be a way to win and make changes without a fight or war, yet who can win when our leaders are lawless and we can only choose between the lesser evil. If you look at past elections and the puppets that America has, all of our presidents since Kennedy have been CIA run.  Regan just read the teleprompter, Bush… need I even comment, even Obama who I was all for until I looked at the facts.  Throw an election where we have someone like Putin up on the stage, no writers or hands in his pockets, just someone fighting and believing in us, in our country, not for all the corrupt aspects of money.

As an American, I do pride myself on freedoms that we have, everything from choice to ability.  However, there is a major price in this delusion, because we are brainwashed daily, media forces our belief system and desensitizes our souls.  Hear no evil, see no evil is how we view the world.  Even though we think we are free and that our votes are worth something, it is all a dream in a very corrupt world. Once we all wake up and see what is really happening, I do not mean your status on face book, we may really make a change for ourselves and nation.
