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.

Count Drag-hiu-la "He wants to suck your bond"

The Central Banks evaluating, planning and the decision making process has not been working so far, they have lost sight of the peoples need and expectations. The new normal is Central Banks exporting deflation to on another by printing money, to buy financial assets including sovereign bonds. While the amount of eligible collateral is becoming scarce. Where are the days of practical supply and demand? In the early 2000's Japan was the first to do this, at the height of crisis and it was too late, we are seeing the deflation outcome of mass bond buying in Japan. The main effect is on the currency it ruins and the exchange rate. Just like Japan the ECB may have been too late.
As the European Central Bank (ECB) announced that 1 trillion in Quantitative Easing (QE) will be the only answer to the lagging economy and Euro crisis within the Euro zone. Fundamentally if an economy has the potential for recovery, they leave the interest rates alone. The economy has been unable to reach sustainable growth, they are dependent on exports, so they also have to make sure the Euro does not gain excess strength adding risk to the export market. The QE starts march 1st, with the rate the Euro is dropping it wont be soon enough. The Euro debt is too large to just sit on, unexpected events or risk looming, so much can take place until QE starts.
Mario Draghi who has been the President of the ECB since 2011 when he replaced Jean-Claude Trichet, has been vigorous in convincing the ECB members that QE is the only answer. Draghi who was named by Forbes as the eighth most powerful person in the world, has a resume of a conspiracy writers dream. He is a member of the Group of Thirty (G30) consisting of privet, Central and major bank heads and even some former Central Bank heads from Brazil, Japan, Italy, Argentina, India, Israel, Italy, Mexico, Poland, Singapore, Spain, Canada, Britain, France and Switzerland. Stuart P.M. Mackintosh, Jacob Frenkel, and Paul Volcker along with two Chairmen from the ECB and two chairmen from the New York Federal Reserve, members from international and academia institutions, even a chief economist of the World Bank. It continuous with a chairmen of the Bank for International Settlements, two chief economists from the International Monetary Fund and a chairman of the Basel Committee on Banking supervision. The G30,s chairmen is Draghi predecessor Jean-Claude Trichet. The group started as the Bellagio Group in 1963 by a Austrian economist Fritz Machlup who wanted to investigate the balance of payments crisis and currency problems in the 1960,s. In 1978 Geoffrey Bell started the G30 after a invitation from the Rockefeller Foundation who gave the initial funding to start the G30. If the connections to Rockefeller was not enough Draghi was also the managing director and chairman of Goldman Sachs. One may think this to be a major conflict of interest since he is also the president of the ECB, and perhaps could have a outside agenda. Draghi was also the Italian Executive Director at the world bank, later director of the Italian Treasury, then governor of the Bank of Italy where a loan secured with bonds of two billion Euros to the Monte dei Paschi di Siena (MPS) bank. The Italian Central Bank (Draghi) was making decisions that the Parliament and the public were unaware of and the end result was tax payers repaying the debts with interest and the MPS got government bonds and the ICB ended up with junk bonds. Draghi used this as a foundation for a system that protects privet banks and their owners from nationalisation and economic collapse.
Draghi had been pushing for QE from the start, Greece possibly exiting the Euro, and uncertainty in Ukraine, the "low-flation" in the Euro zone economy Draghi knew he would succeed with QE. This was to be expected by the market and you see it in the sovereign-bond market as the yields fall. Historically the ECB has given ample notice in regards to their decisions, when they had their meeting earlier this month it was a 9-0 vote for QE, only one man Mr. Weale stated that a hike was needed and they pushed back the meeting. The risk of QE is high and banks take on a 80% of the risk in sovereign bond buying, some banks have buffers others do not. Other bail out counties will be massively impacted unable to purchase until it redeems debt and given a limit on holdings for the sovereign issuer.
Negative Rates encourage physical cash, metals and real assets like real estate. This all would equal the opposite of the end game. The Government drives prices up and the people who save lose, and the wants of Government drive the innovation instead of how it should be where Government technology drives price down and consumers drive the innovation. As it stands we pay them to give us our own money.
The total Forex reserve is an estimated 12 trillion, half the government will invest, about a quarter in held in Euros and anything sold by a CB most likely will end up in the privet financial sector, so who knows how much will end up injected into the manipulation of the market. Why do we have to pay for the risks they took ? Well knowing, if there is risk, there will be loss. Don't forget, this will only work the way "they" intend it to.

"State of Division" Obama's 2015 pitch

      I do believe that behind closed doors the squad of political show dogs of our government are all together alike, a league of corrupt teammates stroking each other ego's and pushing for a common purpose. For the most part they all get along and give a certain amount of respect to another when and where it is due . However, after Obama State of Union address last night big government appears to be more divided than ever.
     The frustration and hatred was tangible by the newly formulated republican clique. John Boehner sat behind Obama awkwardly, refusing to applaud or stand. Showing obvious disagreeable facial expressions while holding back eye rolls as the president spoke. The pretentiousness of Obama's ego seemed to be fueled by the energetic applause of the Democrats. Biden was Obama's cheerleader, hanging on every word with nods of approval constantly showing his suppot. Obama used a tactless approach of fabricating the facts and commending himself with admiration by exaggerating the positive aspects of our nation that his administration took credit for. It would be wonderful to think all that pazazz and energy  Obama showed would have come during his presidency, flooding back into our nation writing new bills, passing, vetoing and changing laws all to better our nation and people. The sad fact is much of what he said was just plain inaccurate.
      He brought up how close we are to closing Guantanamo Bay. They have been trying to shut down Guantanamo Bay since 2008, spending millions on each individual there and even more on trying to shut it down. Many anti-American terrorists are proven to be recruited from there. Obama, if you are going to threaten a Veto or executive orders just do it! Jobs for the vet's that come home has been big issue, they fight for our country but when they return can even find a job to support their family. While we are happy to hear about the increase of jobs for our vet's as they return. On the other hand I could bet if we handed them the money we are spending and have spent at Guantanamo it could quite be around a million dollars each. Even if they spent some, if any of the capital it took to get the closing approval through congress. Now that really would be beneficial to them. Obama has majority in the Senate and in the House, he could have closed it many times in his terms. Could you just imagine all that money spent on our vet's and their family's would have given them the reward they deserve, our patriotism would skyrocket out of control, enticing so many people to enlist and fight for our country.
      Obama didn't mention anything about our debt problem and finding a long term solution for it. There wasn't real talk of economic growth and equality.. His points were wonderful and if he was campaigning this would have been a great speech. To be so egocentric while in your last years, enough to say that he set aside more waters and public lands than any president. That is true, however lets focus on the word "waters" because up until last year his four predecessors had set aside more acres than Obama. Even George Bush trumped him. Out of six years the last year Obama expanded the Pacific Remote Islands National Monument from 87,000 to 490,000 square miles. The expansion is mostly water. Any "saving" of our land and setting it aside is a good thing. It just is odd that he did it so fast and the location in mid-ocean doesn't have much fishing, drilling or extraction of underwater resources that the "saving" protects. Making such a bold statement that  "he set aside the most in history" made him look like he had been doing it for years, not just his last. Not to mention that the government can sell them to privet interests, to pay off debt from military or war anytime.
       The power trip continued when the "growing" economy was brought up, smiling as if he didn't know the facts many people sat unmoved knowing the truth. Our median household income is only four percent higher than it was December 2011, when we bottomed out and still almost five percent lower than December 2007, when the recession began. The hourly earning rose 1.7 percent in the last twelve months. Research states that it is still half the rate for achieving a "healthy Economy". New jobs in Internet, technology, media and many mid-level jobs grow in general with the population. We are generating jobs, lower paying jobs that people have to work harder for. There are 1.7million less workers with full time employment than 2007 when the recession began. Since the "end" of the recession, the employment rate has been steady at around two percent, that is barely ahead of inflation. The typical rate for a healthy economy is around four percent so it, still below where we NEED to be. Seven years later and we have not recovered.
      Energy was a big topic and of course we have been working on alternative energy since 1973, fracking was at an all time high until the oil crash, now the Federal Reserve will have to bail out the fracking debt along with oil production debt. We can then blame it on the Earthquakes or something like weather.
      The parties that bankroll both sides all know none of these reforms he is proposing will pass. I would love to believe that he truly cares about the individual at the bottom, and middle class. Obama knows having a republican Congress and Senate will prevent the passing. All the high fives, his statement that "Crisis has Passed". The only thing that has passed is any hope for real economic growth. The worlds media obsessed and just believe what is said, the powers that be keep people blind and comfortable. Besides tax, the reason they made marijuana legal and push prescription drugs is to keep citizens passive high on one drug or another. If  people all knew what is really going on and how corrupt the world really is, whats really coming it would be chaos and instead of investing in the market people would buy guns and gold and stockpiling food and weapons.
     The reality is we went from six trillion to eighteen trillion in debt, yes the yearly "deficit" has been shrinking , the DEBT was never addressed, big difference.

They issued VE ...verbal easing

        Since 2008, employment gains have been declining, and just this year they have started to stabilize, effectively pushing the unemployment down with the solid employment gains.  Gains in employment were the highest this last November than they have been in the last three years.  Online ads for jobs increased, indicating employment gains.  Surveys came back stating that many jobs were available and were much easier to obtain.  The indicators were encouraging in the anticipation of the reports.

The numbers came back and for the most part, they looked good, then they looked a little closer.  For eleven months straight the payroll increases have been up above 200k, those numbers have not been that strong since 1994.  The Economy has generated the strongest number in new jobs since 1994, and showed 50k more than the forecasters predicted.  The economy looks to be positioned for strong growth in 2015.  In fact, the numbers were so good they almost deemed America fully employed by FED standards.   

Despite all the optimism in employment, weak wages took the spotlight and the softness in earnings that fell drastically.  There really is no obvious fundamental factor that can explain the numbers that were reported.  They listed excuses and blamed a “seasonal fluke” in the retail trade sector.  This time they couldn’t directly blame the weather.  Job quality was not good as well, creating disputes as to what exactly these numbers could mean.  Updated adjustments will of course be released further, most likely while some catastrophic event is taking place to distract us, from the outright manipulation of the numbers, as they always do.

 These statistics and reports are just a reason to issue or delay the rise of the FEDs interest rates, or a justification of QE printing to monetize debt.  These numbers and reports can be perceived many different ways.  They have the ability to manipulate what information is presented and how the surveys are handled. The numbers just do not add up.

 We have roughly 47 million people who get food stamps and inflation with food prices continue.  Many people still live paycheck to paycheck, less than three percent of Americans make over 75k.  Jobless claims rose to 299k.  Jobs in the energy sector had the highest number of job cuts since 2012. With a population, around 316 million and 94 million are not in the labor pool how can we be close to fully employed.  America is still in massive debt and the FED has many people waiting to see if they will raise their interest rates.  The verbal easing Yellen keeps spewing has become intolerable.  One person will say they are raising rates is what will happen then the other will say no that we will wait.  The reality is that if they do raise the rates the trillions in bonds, trade derivatives would create a mass of bank runs and the same banks that control the FED wall St. banks would implode.  It would also crush equity markets the many corporations that took massive loans to cover there debt and had to buyback shares.  The impact would be devastating for the main players, most of all the FED would become unable to control the economic conditions.  The FEDs policy is really designed to take wealth from the largest population and has systematically been wiping out the middle class.  They do not really care about the numbers of employment or income they want to keep the current financial system just the way it is.  The FED will protect it’s self and the banks, they know that foreign cash will shrink the long-term rates and they can always print to cover their own debts if need be.

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.

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.  

Green-spun out

“Gold and economic freedom are inseparable”-Alan Greenspan

             Let us just say that economic growth falters or asset prices start to fall, then what?  What will happen to the market?  Would the FED just start printing away?  The end of QE and the bond purchasing program not only drops the bond markets and overvalued stocks, it makes silver and gold look extremely bearish. Many factors could be playing into this with the Swiss Gold Initiative, Ebola, fear and other geopolitical concerns. All of these affect the market in an odd way since we see a huge demand for gold, yet the price is falling with demand growing, it hardly seems right. The analysts will do the blame game, and try to make sense out of it, who better to blame but the FED. Especially convenient when past members of the FED are blaming the system that they created or put in place.

  Greenspan stated that the FED’s balance sheet “is just a pile of tinder” and gold is a good place to invest, because he feels it will rise “measurably” in the next five years.  After 19 years at the FED, seems odd that he would slander the way they have been handling things, even with his successor Bernanke still in power, yet he said the FED “fell short of its goals” when it came to economic growth and unemployment.

 Alan had been on or near wall street since the 40s and knows his way around money and economics. During his time with the FED he used standard Taylor rule of economics, that every percent that inflation rises, the central bank should raise interest. This was not the view or beliefs Alan had from the 1960s. Greenspan seemed to have been a huge advocate for gold, in fact he published an article on Gold and Economic Freedom in 1966. Some of his statements in it are jaw dropping knowing now what he has done while in the FED, saying gold was a great way to save your money and was pumping up the gold standard. Just like what he is stating now, yet in 1966 gold was $35 an once.

 This was of course before he was a member of the FED or a consultant for President Ford, Bush and Regan. At this time his job and focus was being an economic consultant for his own company, backed by beliefs non-existent of his time in the FED.  From 1987 to 2005 Alan did not partake in any broadcast interviews unlike Bernanke his successor who makes regular public statements trying to gain assurance of the media and people, trying to gain transparency instead of the secretive past of the FED.  Greenspan before and while serving in the FED was also Director of Foreign Relations and served as director of huge corporations like JP Morgan, Mobil General Foods and many more. He even assisted Nixon as coordinator on domestic policy. Alan was regarded like a rock star to politicians and the financial world, until some bad calls were made, then the subprime mortgage crises that tarnished his reputation.

What is Alan really saying that you have less than five years before the market collapses, so you are welcome for the QE handout, now move over to gold?  Greenspan may be feeling guilty for the years he helped drain the money supply; he now is on a buy gold campaign when he is clearly a monetarist.  He is a major manipulator and is a key player in where we are today and 4 trillion dollars in debt.  Now he goes back after all we have suffered though, as if we do not know that PMs are a way to insure our money.  Is he just talking to the elite, because he knew the way to grow the economy in 1966 and did a 180 turn.  What is really happening here is major market manipulations; they sell paper gold from $1300 down to $1200. Manipulators are then guaranteed volume to be able to buy at traders stops.  Then they buy back positions at $1200 (if they can see the order books) then make money again when it rebounds, voila.

Putin Together a Team

Putin stated his opinion in a speech today from Sochi, he talked about the USD and how it is not the reserve currency that we once had. This was after he had just met with princes from the middle east, it seems Putin has started to form a team, and the US is not a pick. Vladimir also expresses how the US is dismantling its allies and the growing risk on global security, and international relations. He calls for interdependence globally, and looking for new economic ties. He stated that the global leaders are blackmailed into their idealism. That the US has a “self Appointed” leader, and humiliates its partners. Clearly Putin is not a fan of the US. Should he be?

He implied that social media in the US is running things. History of the US social media shows he is right. Would we see Russia differently if the media hadn’t portrayed it the way they did? “My whole life I have watched movies like Top Gun, Red Heat, etc. movies, shows and books that influenced so many of us to believe that the Russians were just evil villains, in fact it was instilled in us though many forms of the anti Russia campaign. He however is talking about a much deeper level of media run society. That we are being fed lies, while the truths are manipulated, concealed by TPTB, they say we are safe and things are fine. I personally would rather spend six hundred dollars on PMs than an iphone, but ten million people don’t agree with me. To TPTB us being blind sheep is better than the alternative, each American standing up grabbing a gun, taking out the fiat that doesn’t exist, investing in gold instead of a digital decimal point and seeing just how stable we really are. What the kids are learning now is very different than the lies that were in the text books just a few years ago.

 The more we withdrew and retreated, the more aggressive Putin has become, he may feel he has to prove himself, show his strength after the cold war era. Vladimir’s campaign seems to be a campaign for anarchy. What he is stating is terrifying because its so true. Out of all the world leaders we have right now, he is the only one that is making any sense of things, and other countries are taking notes, countries seem to be very  intrigued at the quite isolated Russian, now not being so quite or isolated. Should we be looking at what Russia is doing it seems like a few counties are climbing on board with going back to a classic gold backing, Germany, The Swiss, China and India not to mention the others on this team like Iran who if they jump ship on the USD well we saw what happened to Saddam and Qudaffie when they bailed on the USD so even though I am a true believer in PMs, I know what the US is capable of and know if they are pushing against the petrodollar and going for the gold we will find a way to make the price of GLD as low as we can. Almost time to hold short my friends and have a great weekend

GDP weather you believe it or not

Can we really blame the gross domestic product reports on the weather?

The U.S. did just that when it blamed the 100 billion lost on snow early this year. China is now following suit of the bazaar claim that cool weather is the reason for the outcome and higher levels of activity growth in the recent outcome of the GDP data. Seems odd to me considering that the pollution in China is so intense you cannot even see the sun at times.  Since when does economic data rely on weather? To better understand this let us look at how we see and get the GDP overall. We have to understand the factors of the data research.

The System of National Accounting (SNA) and the Material Product System (MPA) that was used in the early soviet union, still used by some countries as an alternative to the United Nations System of National Accounts (UNSNA) or (SNA) that focuses on "free market" prices. This is supposed to provide data of economic activity on an international level. Countries cannot provide the same data, it is impossible, the country that invests billions into research, is not going to be the same as a country that cannot be assessed because of geographical factors, or socio-political instability. Some governments will not allow surveys of all kinds to take place. Many factors prevent the “same” data from being entered. The input-output levels can be highly manipulated due to the standard. The UN cannot enforce the same standard. Since it differs from country to country so there are often discrepancies, quarterly and yearly revisions, but as long as they provide sufficient data on national accounts the UN will fit it into its standard, all the other accounts can be reworked up to UN standard. If you look UN Yearbook, under detailed tables the data over decades instead of yearly you will see a trend change significantly. Studies in economics have shown that even the “free market prices” are truly regulated and administered prices in Western countries.

Many people do not even know that the MPA exists. The MPA that uses administered prices, measures the output of “material goods” tangible products, in comparison to “services”, usually in national accounts, the data collected is only to measure the “value” of outputs produced. Comparing the MPS and SNA is how China determines the GDP.
