2011 By EconMatters: Markets saw the worst day since the 2008 financial crisis on Monday, August 8th, the first trading day since Standard & Poor's downgraded the United States' credit rating. Under the weight of a possible twin crisis in Europe and in the U.S., Dow Jones industrial plunged 634 points. Stocks have lost 15% of their value in just two and a half weeks. On a day like this, who else other than Marc Faber, publisher of the Gloom, Boom & Doom report, would be more appropriate to appear on Bloomberg to talk about the aftermath of the U.S. debt downgrade... Faber indicates a bear market already started on May 2, 2011…’

Krauthammer: Our political system is working well (Washington Post) [ Geeh! There was a time back in the late sixties, early seventies when there were these long-haired people chastised by the so-called ‘establishment’ that would have just loved to be doin’ whatever it is that Mr. Krauthammer’s been doing to arrive at such a conclusion, so glaringly devoid of any reality whatsoever. Psychedelics, hallucinogens, magic mushrooms; what could it be that has brought Krauthammer into this fantasy world where even ‘Alice’ of Wonderland fame might feel comfortable in this netherland (sic) / netherworld created from the depths of Mr. Krauthammer’s imagination. I’m truly at a loss for words. After all, the warning by the underrated but great President General Eisenhower of the impending inherent danger of the military industrial complex came to fruition with the assassination of JFK and the reality of a coup d’etat thereby. All presidents, along with the two remaining branches of the pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt american government since have been at best stooges for such as the military industrial complex, the banksters / frauds on wall street, etc., to the substantial detriment of the vast majority in this country and throughout the world (ie., perma wars, huge securities frauds still extant / now marked to anything as per congressional FASB rule change, and unprosecuted. Beyond the immediate reach, or at least ‘penetration’ of american propaganda, an intelligent and astute individual, Legendary Investor Jeremy Grantham: America is a Banana Republic Washington’s Blog | Just different bananas perhaps? { Of course this is absolutely true! And not just from the meaningfully lawless perspective – I had made such a statement on the record in a LA Superior Court Appellate Dept. proceeding in which said court literally ignored the law (the same is true of the costly, plushly accoutered lifetime appointee federal courts) which courts should indeed be abolished in these difficult economic / budgetary times. Additionally, from pervasive corruption, to debased over-printed currency, to gunboat diplomacy, to total incompetence, etc., america is indeed a banana republic at most. } I didn’t see the debates {what does it matter what they say – the egregious ‘wobama the b’ (for b***s***) fatigue factor / experience} nor have I read Mr. Robinson’s article, ‘GOP Debate Land’ but I’m sure I’d agree with his conclusion, ‘I didn’t recognize the America the GOP candidates described;’ but unfortunately, I do recognize the pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt america of ‘wobama the b’ (for b***s***), failed president like his predecessor, moron war criminal dumbya bush, that he is. The powerless president Obama remains indecisive, and ignored, as larger forces bring down the country. Robinson: S&P downgrades the GOP (WP) [ Riiiiight! It’s everything but ‘wobama the b’ (for b***s***) that’s to blame for the nation’s meltdown according to wobama aficionados / intractable wobama apologists, Messieurs Milbank and Robinson. Sweet Mr. Milbank even points to wobama’s personal character flaws (among many unmentioned) to exculpate the failed president wobama. Wobama’s failed miserably and yet had the easiest act in the world to follow in the persona of fellow failed president war criminal dumbya bush whose failed policies up to the real start of the election cycle he’s largely followed. After all, Mr. Robinson, how different really are the parties these days when profligate spending on illegal, unnecessary wars was continued when democrats controlled congress, and then even the executive office when continuing failed president and war criminal dumbya bush’s nation bankrupting, nation destroying war policies, protection for unprecedentedly huge wall street frauds, bush tax cut extensions for the wealthy, and then some (spending on top of it).

Most importantly, realize that if wobama’s actions had not belied his words/campaign promises, the nation’s position, though still ominous, would have been substantially improved.

Europe’s crisis and the psychology of fear (Washington Post) [ Given the reality and magnitude of Europe’s problems going forward, dwarfed only by the magnitude of those of pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt america, it brings to mind the words of the former Intel CEO (founder?) Andy Grove ‘ Only the paranoid survive’ (of course, having survived the Nazis and escaped Communist-controlled Hungary in Europe, as a jew, one has to assume his perspective / outlook was somewhat ‘skewed’ thereby). Yet, let’s not kid ourselves to the point where virtual survival is threatened and at stake as is so for the EU. America isn’t alone in the downgrade spiral (WP) Indeed, the EU has followed the contra-indicated perma war, evermore worthless Weimar currency, and a predispositon / tacit acceptance of paper securities schemes / scams / frauds which are integral to america’s ongoing, albeit obfuscated, debacle / crisis which given the unfunded debt load pegged at $211 Trillion among other estimates, is insurmountable and will end quite badly. Poll: Sharp dissatisfaction with D.C. The public doubts the government can fix the nation’s economic problems, Post poll shows. An unlikely landlord: Uncle Sam (WP) [ No surprise there (the doubts)!

Add limey (brits)-looking (green) frogs (french) to the mix(ed up) in the pervasively corrupt defacto bankrupt disunited states Italy unveils plan to calm fears of escalating crisis (WP) [ Yeah, dem piigs were back in the news. ’ Dem PIIGS still got problems. Europe’s debt crisis threatens Italy (WP) [ Yeah, dem’ darn PIIGS. Reminds me of that joke (I won’t repeat it here except the punch line): ‘That’s black bart’s girl’. Pelosi: ‘We are not Greece’ ( but greecy Italy Italians voice concern over Italian debt crisis scenario [ Whew! Close call! There you go. Nothing to worry about now that wobama’s got a boehner … so not to be so hard on them; if pelosi says it, it must be true … Not! …Pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt america, they, she look pretty greecey to me. After all, if the same’s wobama’s ‘far-reaching plan on debt’, we all know ‘wobama the b’ (for b***s***) is total b***s*** which means like Greecey PIIGS they’ll be back to the trough for more … slop … py.

Beneath the Market’s Swings, Some Real Cause for Worry News Jeff Cox August 11 (CNBC) — ‘So whether this equals, falls short of, or exceeds the financial crisis of 2008 hardly seems to matter—investors are afraid, very afraid, and the question as much as anything in the minds of many market pros will be what soothes that fear. Analyst Dick Bove at Rochdale Securities says he knows why: More restrictive capital requirements and near-zero interest rates set at the Federal Reserve [cnbc explains] that make lending neither easy nor lucrative, a trend that will make it difficult for the economy to grow. “If one thinks through these limitations it can be seen that banks must shrink their balance sheets and change their business patterns to maintain their profits. What they are unlikely to do is to expand their lending activities in order to grow the economy,” Bove wrote in a lengthy banking analysis Thursday.“However, the Federal Reserve is suggesting that the economy is unlikely to grow,” he wrote. “If the Fed is prescient, then banks are facing higher loan losses, lower loan volume, and reduced margins on a wide array of banking products. The outlook is not appealing.”“Even though the United States is able to both print and borrow money, it is as bankrupt as the Europeans,” Bove wrote. “Covering deficits and paying debt with borrowed funds, some of which is newly printed, does not constitute meeting debt service requirements.”…’

Pity the Policymakers July 21st, 2011 by News by Mohamed A. El-Erian (Project Syndicate) — ‘I don’t know about you, but whenever I am in an airplane experiencing turbulence, I draw comfort from the belief that the pilots sitting behind the cockpit’s closed door know what to do. I would feel very differently if, through an open door, I observed pilots who were frustrated at the poor responsiveness of the plane’s controls, arguing about their next step, and getting no help whatsoever from the operator’s manuals. So it is unsettling that policymakers in many Western economies today resemble the second group of pilots. This perception reflects not only the contradictory pronouncements and behavior of policymakers, but also the extent to which economic outcomes have consistently fallen short of their expectations.This perception is evident in Europe, the United States, and Japan, where indicators of economic sentiment are deteriorating again, already-weak recoveries are stalling, and over-stretched balance sheets are becoming even more precarious.’

Greek finance minister brushes off downgrade [ Sounds like a plan! ]

The doctors (IMF, European finance ministers, the ECB, etc.) are running around trying to save it. Open heart surgery (loans guaranteed by others) has averted the immediate crisis, but Greece is just as overweight today as it was before the crisis. Attempts to lose weight through exercise (austerity measures) cause serious chest pains (riots). The doctors don’t want to admit it, but all signs point to a heart transplant (default) as the only way to get Greece onto its feet again.

Greece isn’t the only one. It is a veritable epidemic. Ireland, Italy, Portugal, Spain and a host of other countries are having chest pains. Iceland is feeling better now with its freshly transplanted heart. The American home owner is still in the hospital from his financial heart attack after gobbling up vast quantities of real estate, and it has been many decades since Uncle Sam last could see his toes.

By most accounts (e.g. here or Bill Gross‘ statements in a recent interview) total hidden government liabilities add up to about $60-$100 trillion. That is on top of the $14 trillion of debt carried on the balance sheet. Adding up those liabilities, the US owes at least five times GDP, which currently sits at about $15 trillion. For comparison, Greece’s debt is about 1.5 times its GDP.

This is not really a fair comparison, because it leaves out any hidden liabilities Greece may have. The US debt figure includes unfunded entitlements, state and local debt, and underfunded public pensions. Nevertheless, it is clear that this is an unsustainable debt load even if the estimates turn out to be off by a factor of two or four.

Uncle Sam is already more overweight than Greece ever was. If he doesn’t change his ways, he will end up in the hospital like Greece, but at present he is partying like there is no tomorrow, gorging himself on entitlement spending, costly wars, bailouts, subsidies, and countless other delicacies.

Perhaps it would not be such a bad thing if the talks about raising the debt limit failed. After Uncle Sam suffers the resulting self-inflicted mild heart attack (temporary default) and finds out how much fun it is to fetch up in the emergency room, he might be more inclined to take care of himself, slim down, and stick with an exercise regime.

Some kind of a wakeup call is necessary while there is still time to deal with our debt problem. The only way to address it is for Washington to do its job: get everybody to recognize that there is a problem, find a solution that demands some sacrifices from everyone, and work together across party lines to implement it. In the current political environment that does not seem to be possible. Something needs to change the environment. Greece shows that the alternative is not pretty.’

Standing on the precipice – and ready to jump July 21st, 2011 News By Wolfgang Münchau ( Financial Times) — ‘It looks like there will be deal on a eurozone package for Greece. The full details are still missing, but it appears that the eurozone is forcing Greece into a selective default. As part of such a package, short-term Greek debt will be more or less forcibly converted into long-term debt. The wretched bank tax is mercifully off the table. And the European financial stability facility will most likely be allowed to purchase Greek debt at a discount. LET US NOT MINCE WORDS HERE. THIS WOULD BE A DEFAULT, THE FIRST BY A WESTERN INDUSTRIALISED COUNTRY IN A GENERATION. I am not quite sure how it is possible for the European Central Bank to agree to this, or to all of this. But I will surely be intrigued to hear how Jean-Claude Trichet will manage to be consistent with what he said a few days ago. There are also reports that the eurozone leaders may accept a more flexible EFSF beyond those bond purchases.’

So Far, Market Ignoring Dire Warnings at Minyanville

The Greater Depression Is Upon Us by David Galland http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig10/galland34.1.html Casey Research Recently by David Galland: The Road to Perdition ‘The phrase “Greater Depression” was coined by Doug Casey a decade or so back as a way of describing the economic crisis he foresaw as inevitable, and which is now materializing.

Because I think it is important for every organization to constantly challenge its own assumptions, I’ve long acted as something of a devil’s advocate here at Casey Research. By constantly pushing our analysts to revisit their assumptions and calculations, it is my firm intention for us to spot the fork in the road that indicates it is time to shift strategies away from investments designed to do well in the face of a currency debasement and to something else.

Being attentive to that fork in the road is hugely important, because even though we urge our subscribers not to overdo their exposure to inflation hedges, we recognize that many do. Many a good person had their clocks cleaned in the early 1980s solely because they had become overly enamored of their precious metals – so much so that they stopped thinking of them as an asset class and began thinking of them more in the terms one might associate with an amorous dinner date. Thus these investors were utterly unprepared when said date stood up and broke a dinner plate over their heads.

With that brief setup, I want to make our views clear: While we correctly anticipated the recent correction in precious metals, this correction is but a blip in a secular bull market that is very much intact.

Doug Casey has often said that the unfolding crisis is going to be even worse than he expects (which is saying something), and the longer the rest of us at Casey Research study the tea leaves, it is hard to disagree that the Greater Depression is still ahead.

Consider:

THE EUROZONE IS GROWING INCREASINGLY DESPERATE. Watching the heads of Europe dither and debate over further bailouts to the unhappy Greeks and other troubled PIIGS – before ultimately reaching back into the pockets of the equally unhappy citizens in Germany and the decreasing number of still-functioning economies in the eurozone – reminds me of a down-on-his-luck blackjack player. He’s mortgaged his home to play the game but is now down to his last chips. He doesn’t want to risk his remaining resources but has no choice, because to walk away now will mean taking up residence in a cardboard box. And so, reluctantly, he shoves across another pile. The problem is that the game is rigged – and not in his favor. As the PIIGS start to default and either leave the eurozone entirely or are shunted off into some sort of sidecar organization, there will be great volatility in the euro and in the European markets.
THE U.S. DEBT SITUATION IS FAR WORSE THAN ANYONE IN WASHINGTON IS WILLING TO ADMIT. We keep hearing calls for more, not less debt creation. But if people would stop kidding themselves and tally up all the many demands the U.S. government has against it, the actual debt-to-GDP ratio rises to something on the order of 400% – and even that is likely understating things. The fundamental flaws in the U.S. monetary system – flaws that have given license to the bureaucrats to smash the limousine of state straight into a wall – have required a remaking every 20 to 30 years or so. The problem is that there is pretty much nothing else that can be done to save the status quo at this point, and so the monetary system is likely to collapse. That means big changes ahead, including – or perhaps starting with – a poisonous ratcheting up of interest rates.
CHINA’S MIRACLE MIRAGE. While having aspects of a free market, the hard truth is that China is run as a command economy by a cadre of communist holdovers. This is apparent in the cities that have been built for no purpose other than creating jobs and boosting GDP. It is also apparent in the growing inflation in China – the inevitable knock-on of the government’s decision to yank on the levers of money creation harder than any other nation at the onset of the Greater Depression. Meanwhile, signs of social unrest crop up here and there. Though so far they have been swiftly put down, there is no question that the ruling elite has to walk a very fine line. If the Chinese economy stumbles seriously, all bets are off. That we are talking about the world’s second-largest economy means this is not of small consequence.
JAPAN IS ESSENTIALLY OFFLINE. Reports from friends in Japan – including one who was initially skeptical about the scale of the problems at Fukushima – have now changed in tone by 180 degrees. You can almost feel the growing sense of desperation as the already massively indebted nation begins to slide toward an abyss. There is little standing in the way of the world’s third-largest economy’s slide.
THE MIDDLE EAST IS IN FLAMES. This, too, is far from settled. As usual, the U.S. government has been hopping here and there in an attempt to maintain its influence, but at this point pretty much everything is up for grabs. The odds of the U.S. retaining the same level of influence in the region that it has enjoyed over the last century are slim to none, especially now that even the Saudis are shipping more of their oil to China than to the U.S. Again, big changes are ahead…’

Watch Out: 2011 Looks A Lot Like The Market Top In 2007 at Forbes Sean Hanlon Back on December 12, 2007 I wrote a market commentary that started as follows:

The equity markets have been very volatile this year, but also range bound. A picture speaks a thousand words so all one needs to do is view the chart below of the S&P 500 Index to understand just how volatile and range bound things have been. Specifically, since February 20, 2007, only nine and one half months or so ago, the S&P 500 Index has been down 5.86%, up 13.02%, down 9.43%, up 11.26%, down 10.09%,
and now up 7.73% – through 12/10/07 – so far in this
latest up leg! All this in ONLY nine and one half months!

http://blogs-images.forbes.com/advisor/files/2011/07/market-commentary-1.jpg

History is repeating itself so far in 2011, which has been fraught with ups and downs in both international and domestic equity markets. This is due to many things, including the considerable economic doubts and various countries debt situations. This uncertainty has translated into market performance with direct impacts on portfolio returns and more prominently in portfolio volatility. This volatility is best seen in the chart below of the S&P 500 Index beginning 1/1/11.

http://blogs-images.forbes.com/advisor/files/2011/07/market-commentary-2.jpg

2010 ended positivity and the momentum carried into the first two months of 2011 however the end of February began a series of events that led market returns on a whipsaw ride of ups and downs, resulting in the current universal mid-year views of market uncertainty.

What news was associated with this volatility? All the usual; crude oil prices, natural disasters, corporate earnings, politics, economic forecast revisions for both developed and emerging markets, the European debt situation, the United States debt situation and more to name just a few.

One thing is for certain; the current volatile, range bound market activity is difficult at best to profit from. In this investing environment patience is the most important attribute. I will be patient and will be careful until the trends are preferable.

Our strategy at Hanlon Investment Management is to attempt to minimize downside risk by exiting risk asset classes, such as equities, during periods of uncertainty, getting invested in more conservative asset classes, such as money markets and short-term bonds, and re-entering into risky asset classes when we identify them as attractive, when the trend is our friend and positive!

Having identified this volatility, in June we made defensive, tactical investment decisions that provide less exposure to these volatile, range bound markets and prepare us to re-enter the markets when they possess improved risk characteristics.’

Deficit Ceiling and Stocks - Expect the Unexpected ETFguide Simon Maierhofer, July 19, 2011, ‘A number of cliches come to mind when talking about the U.S. debt situation. The most appropriate might be: 'You can't have your cake and eat it too.' The least applicable is probably: 'Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today.'

But if you think the U.S. will default on some of its obligations anytime soon, you don't have enough faith in the government's most potent weapon - extend and pretend (another cliche that's become the modus operandi).

Since 1960, Congress has acted 78 separate times to permanently raise, temporarily extend, or revise the definition of the debt limit. Chances are Congress will act again before the August 2 deadline. That however isn't good news.

By the end of this article you will know the common sense, no nonsense, deficit ramifications for the stock market and why even 'a deal' isn't good news.

USA Inc. - Income Statement

If the United States was a corporation - USA Inc. - here's what the Income Statement would look like:

Total federal spending in 2010 amounted to $3.456 trillion. Total receipts added up to $2.162 trillion. USA Inc.'s 2010 deficit was $1.294 trillion.

The 2011 federal budget is $3.7 trillion with a projected deficit of$1.6 trillion. But there's no reason to despair, just before April 15,Congressional leaders were able to agree on $39 billion worth of budgetcuts for the remainder of the year.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid hailed this heroic effort as a 'historic' level of cuts. To quantify just how 'historic' that effort was we'll put it in percentage terms -1%. The cut amounted to only 1% of the 2011 budget. Apparently it wasn't enough. Thanks to extend and pretend we've arrived at the next deadline.

Stocks Applaud ... and Decline

Keep in mind that back in mid-April when the 'historic' $39 billion cut was hammered out, the S&P was at about 1,300. Following the 'resolution' of the budget problem stocks rallied about 5%.

The April 3 ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter featured the chart below (due to size restrictions the chart had to be reduced). As per the chart and accompanying analysis, the Newsletter expected a rally to the next Fibonacci resistance at 1,369, followed by a bounce off the Fibonacci support at either 1,229 or 1,255 and an attempt to take out the previous high.

http://www.etfguide.com//contributor/UserFiles/8/Image/5%20-%20April%203%20TF.jpg

This outlook was based purely on technical analysis with no regard for the deficit problem or European debt woes (we'll take a look at an updated technical forecast in a moment). The S&P did top at 1,370 on May 2. Thereafter it dropped to 1,259, and tried to take out the previous high (the S&P rallied as high as 1,356 on July 7and stumbled thereafter).

USA Inc. - Balance Sheet

If you think the Income Statement looks bad, you may not want to look at the Balance Sheet. Consensus estimates for unfunded obligations vary. Mary Meeker pegs the shortfall at $31 trillion, PIMCO's Bill Gross estimates the unreported debt to be $75 trillion, while other estimates exceed $100 trillion.

The Deficit and Stocks

When President Obama took office in January 2009, the federal debt was 70% of GDP or $10 trillion. Today the deficit is close to 100% of GDP at $14.3 trillion. As per a recent AP report, President Obama had to scroll down his demands and would now be content with a $2.4 trillion debt ceiling increase to make it last beyond the 2012 elections.

No doubt, the President would like the deficit issue put on hold until he's re-elected. It seems like everyone has an agenda that takes priority over solving the actual debt issue. The whole game could be summed up as White House budget director Jack Lew put it: 'That all these ideas do is say let's kick the can down the road so that others will deal with it.'

This, by the way, is why the pre-election year of the Presidential election year cycles has seen gains consistently since 1939, because the incumbent party will do what it takes to remain in office longer.

A lose-lose Situation

The drawback of the deficit situation is that there is no easy way out. The government has to either cut spending (as in fewer benefits for Americans) or increase revenue (as in higher taxes).

Pick your poison. Either choice will kill the economy. Of course, you can extend and pretend, which is probably what will end up happening. No matter how much lip stick you have at your disposal, a pig remains a pig. The deficit is a big (red) pig.

What is worse, a $14.3 trillion deficit today, or a $16+ trillion deficit (according to Obama's wish) in 2012? Debt is like gangrene, dry rot or mold, it doesn't just go away, it gets worse (ask Greece, Ireland, Portugal or any of the other PIIGS).

Eliminate Variables

Using European (NYSEArca: VGK - News) debt troubles as a benchmark, there hasn't been a direct correlation between U.S. stocks and European debt. To generalize this even further, there hasn't been a real correlation between the U.S. deficit issue and U.S. stocks.

It was in June 2009 that Greece admitted to having a 'small' problem. Stocks rallied throughout the remainder of 2009, most of 2010 and some in 2011. The same is true for the MSCI EAFE ETF (NYSEArca: EFA - News) and Emerging Market ETF (NYSEArca: EEM - News).

Admittedly, the U.S. is a much bigger problem than the PIGGS, but the principal remains the same - basing investment decisions on the outcome of debt negotiations is tricky because the market has a mind of its own.

Since early 2010, every single time the major indexes a la S&P (SNP: ^GSPC), Dow (DJI: ^DJI), and Nasdaq (Nasdaq: ^IXIC) sold off more than a few percent, it's been blamed on Greece. What many don't consider is that the market was helplessly overbought in January, and April 2010 and 2011 and due for a correction anyway. It seems like Greece has been a scapegoat more often than the actual cause. Perhaps it's a game of chicken and the egg. Which came first?

No Chicken-Egg Game

It has been more beneficial and profitable to rely on solid technical analysis rather than playing the chicken and egg game.

Technical analysis along with sentiment readings pegged a market bottom of the same degree at S&P 1,259 - 1,245. That was the opinion of the ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter on June 15 (one day before the 1,258 bottom):

'The 200-day SMA at 1,257 is sandwiched between the 1,255 Fibonacci projection level dating back to 2002 and this week's s1 at 1,259. Wednesday's low was at 1,261.9. If this low is not enough, there is a strong cluster of support at 1,259 - 1,245. A drop into the 1,259 - 1,245 range would prompt us to close out short positions and leg into long positions' (long positions were closed out at S&P 1,345 on July 7).

There was no fundamental good news on June 15 or 16. Some of the headlines featured on June 15 were:

'Is the bull market over? A look at four different sentiment measures suggests that more pain may await investors.' - Barrons

'Greek default could trigger chain reaction' - AP

Fed Keeping Market Afloat: QE Rally Not Sustainable http://regator.com/p/252365030/fed_keeping_market_afloat_qe_rally_not_sustainable By Matthew Claassen

Financial Crisis Phase II Is Ahead at Forbes Bert Dohmen ‘ In late 2007, I wrote the book Prelude To Meltdown, predicting the global crisis that occurred the following year. I now see a similar confluence of events that warns of phase II of the global crisis.

Once again I see all the “canaries in the mine,” which warned of the 2008 crisis. My just released book, Financial Apocalypse , provides the clues and the road map, with charts, of how my indicators successfully predicted the meltdown that occurred in the fall of 2008. This book is a guide for detecting the next crisis whenever it occurs. History repeats, or at minimum, it rhymes.

My work shows that “the new recession has started.” The May 9 issue of the Wellington Letter was headlined: “Return of the Double-Dip.” At the time, economists were looking for a great economy in the second half. Now they talk about a “soft patch.” Over the past 33 years, we have called the start of every recession, often on the exact month, or within one month, of the official start as determined one year later by the official arbiter of recession, the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER).

How can we be in recession now when the GDP still shows growth? Because of improper inflation adjustments. “Real” GDP growth, the headline number, is nominal growth minus the rate of inflation. However, inflation is far understated for political reasons.

Currently, the GDP deflator is 1.8%, which hardly reflects the true rise in prices. Therefore, what is counted as “growth,” is actually price increases. Actual inflation, according to free market economists who calculate inflation as it was done in 1980 before the politician re-engineered it, is now more than 11%. Using that to adjust GDP for inflation, would show that the economy is now in a very sharp contraction.

When the current euphoric earnings forecasts of Wall Street finally reflect that via significant “earnings downgrades,” the stock market will see a serious “adjustment” as well.

On July 18, Goldman Sachs (GS) substantially lowered its economic growth forecast. Marketwatch.com had this headline: Goldman Sachs slashes Economic Forecasts. The next step will be for them to substantially reduce earnings forecasts for the S&P 500.

Will the phase II be as bad as the 2008 crisis? The last crisis was confined to the private sector, i.e. financial institutions. The next one will be involve the threatened default of entire countries. The last time, the central banks bailed out the financial firms and even Warren Buffett bailed out several firms. Who is big enough to bail out entire countries? Or will the term of “too big to fail” turn to “too big to bail?”

3 Top Crooks Still Roaming Free After the Economic Crash Wall St. Cheat Sheet July 25, 2011, The global economy and stock markets took a nose dive in 2008. But that hasn’t stopped some of the biggest masterminds from escaping a day of luxury.

Here are three financial crooks who are probably sipping daiquiris in Capri at our expense:

Lehman Brothers CEO Richard S. Fuld, Jr.

Few executives were as intimately and extensively involved in the downfall of their firms as Dick Fuld . At the time of the financial collapse, Fuld had worked for Lehman Brothers for nearly 40 years, and had been the firm’s chief executive since 1994. In that role, not only was he the longest-tenured CEO on Wall Street at the time of the financial crisis, but he was considered one of the best. He was named Institutional Investor magazine’s top chief executive in the private sector in 2006. The following year, he was paid more than $21 million in cash and stock on top of his base salary of $750,000 a year after the bank’s net profit rose 5% to a record $4.2 billion. And as recently as March 2008, Barron’s listed him on their list of the 30 best CEOs, referring to him as “Mr. Wall Street”.

When the financial crisis hit, Fuld was one of the few executives to hold onto his position. He counted himself responsible for the company, but didn’t realize just how much real estate loans and other toxic assets were weighing on his balance sheet. Instead, he remained confident in the firm that he helped grow from a negative profit in 1993. His hubris can somewhat be understood, given the firm hadn’t reported a single quarterly loss since it went public. But Fuld was wrong. He overestimated the value of his firm, rejecting offers that could have saved it from collapse because they didn’t adequately reflect what he felt the firm was worth.

We know that sub-prime mortgages were almost solely responsible for the financial crisis, and a large part of the Wall Street’s fourth-largest investment bank’s worth was held in its mortgage business, where mortgages were re-packaged and sold to other investors, often for more than they were really worth. In fact, Lehman was the top U.S. underwriter of mortgage bonds in 2006 and 2007, accounting for roughly 10% of the market. As CEO, Fuld was responsible for buying those assets, which ultimately became toxic and impossible to unload. But whether or not Fuld can be held wholly responsible for the firm’s loan practices, he can be held responsible for the firm’s bankruptcy. As late as August 2008, after many CEOs had already been forced to resign, he rejected an offer by state-run Korea Development Bank to buy a 25% stake in Lehman for $4 billion to $6 billion.

There’s no question that the firm Fuld helped build, that he’d been a part of since 1969, where he held the top position for 14 years, was criminally responsible for the financial crisis. In fact, it may be the most culpable, given the sheer volume of sub-prime mortgages underwritten by Lehman in the years leading up to the market collapse. On September 15, Lehman became the largest firm to file for bankruptcy in history, dealing a devastating blow to an already fragile financial system. A few weeks later, Fuld was summoned to appear before Congress as part of an inquisition. He was also investigated by three United States Attorneys offices in New York and New Jersey. But ultimately Fuld walked away from Lehman Brothers having pocketed nearly $500 million just in his last six years with the firm, years during which Lehman’s sub-prime mortgage practice was contributing to what would ultimately cost taxpayers $700 billion in a government-issued bank bailout program. Fuld was never charged with or convicted of any crimes.

AIG Financial Products CEO Joseph J. Cassano

As a founding member and head of AIG Financial Products, Joe Cassano was responsible for selling hundreds of billions of dollars worth of credit protection in the form of credit-default swaps (CDS) on U.S. sub-prime mortgages, a form of insurance that didn’t require that AIG put down any form of collateral. So when the financial crisis hit in 2008 and investment banks requested the insurance money for their collapsing derivatives, AIG was unable to pay what was owed and ultimately had to be bailed out by the government, receiving about $170 billion in taxpayer money.

Cassano resigned from his position at AIG FP in March 2008, having pocketed $280 million in cash and an additional $34 in bonuses. He even managed a $1 million-a-month retirement package that kept him on at AIG as a “consultant”. Cassano even went on record denying any fault on the part of AIG, saying,

“We believed until late 2005 that banks and other mortgage originators were applying appropriate standards when writing mortgages. When we recognized — well before many others — that changes in the mortgage market likely presented increased risk for future deals, we decided to exit the subprime business. We thought the decision was appropriate, despite the lost profits at the time. With hindsight, the decision looks even more prudent.”

Cassano went so far as to blame the bailout for losses on CDS contracts, saying there would have been few, if any, had they not been unwound by the bailout. Testifying before the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission, Cassano fully defended his firm’s CDS practices, outlining the careful approval and monitoring system that, “specifically identified risk factors and provided an analysis of those risks.” Cassano insisted that AIG had not miscalculated the risks of sub-prime mortgages.

However, Cassano was directly responsible for AIG’s credit-default swaps program that put the firm’s many clients, including Goldman Sachs, in danger when it was unable to pay out on insurance claims. He essentially sold billions of dollars worth of vapor — he failed to provide what had been paid for by the firm’s clients. That sounds remarkably like fraud, the grounds upon which many investors have filed suit against Cassano. In fact, regulators in both the U.S. and the U.K. investigated Cassano’s acts to determine whether they had been criminal. But like just about every executive responsible for the financial crisis, Cassano was not ultimately charged with any wrongdoing, and remains a free man.

Countrywide Financial Chairman and CEO Angelo Mozilo

Ranked second by Condé Nast Portfolio on their list of the “Worst American CEOs of All Time”, Angelo Mozilo was charged in 2009 of insider trading and securities fraud by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Mozilo personally sold hundreds of millions of dollars in stock while using shareholder funds to buy back stock to support the share price. He is also responsible for what has been termed the “Friends of Angelo” VIP program under which several influential lawmakers, including Senate Banking Committee Chairman Christopher Dodd, as well as many Fannie Mae employees and other “Friends of Angelo”, received discounted mortgages.

However, Mozilo was allowed to settle with the SEC on all charges. He agreed to pay $67.5 million in fines, the most ever exacted from an individual in connection with the 2008 financial crisis, and he was banned from ever serving as an officer or director of any other public company. Robert Khuzami, director of the SEC’s Division of Enforcement, said that “Mozilo’s record penalty is the fitting outcome for a corporate executive who deliberately disregarded his duties to investors by concealing what he saw from inside the executive suite.” But in settling, Mozilo was able to avoid a trial and any subsequent criminal charges, and was not required to acknowledge any wrongdoing.

Mozilo’s net worth has been estimated at roughly $600 million. And because of the indemnification agreement in his contract with Countrywide, the firm was responsible for paying roughly one-third of his fines, leaving Mozilo with a bill of $47.5 million — that’s less than 10% of his worth. Aside from Bernie Madoff, the only executive tied to the financial crisis to be criminally prosecuted and convicted, Mozilo’s settlement is the greatest punishment inflicted on any executive responsible for the country’s economic collapse, and falls desperately short of true justice.’

Mapping the Myths of the U.S. Economy - Stacy Curtin ‘In The Real State of America Atlas: Mapping the Myths and Truths of the United States, authors Cynthia Enloe and Joni Seager paint a vivid picture of life in the U.S., using a series of charts, graphics and short essays that cover almost every aspect of the nation's economy and society as a whole.

Not only do they give state-by-state comparisons, they show how the U.S. measures up to the rest of the world in areas such as health care, housing and defense. But while analyzing what it's really like to live in the U.S. today, they also uncovered a few "myths and truths" as the title of the book suggests.

Enloe and Seager joined The Daily Ticker's Aaron Task to share three of the most surprising misconceptions they uncovered.

#1 Land of Homeowners

The dream of owning a home is actually more the reality in other countries. In the book, the authors point to the most recent data, which show only 68% of Americans owned their home in 2002, compared with 92% in Hungry, 84% in Mexico, 72% in the U.K. and 71% in Australia.

"One of the things that is a cherished notion about America is we are a nation of homeowners, and homeownership has long been seen as kind of the bedrock of the American dream," says Seager. "I think the current economic crisis and the housing crisis is really shaking that American cherished view of ourselves as having easy access to homeownership."

This is evident in another stat laid out in the book, which shows 83% of people agreed that buying a home was a safe investment in 2003, compared with 70% in 2010. (See: Why I Am Never Going to Own a Home Again) { Home ownership hits lowest level since 1965 NEW YORK (CNNMoney) Les Christie August 5, 2011 As the foreclosure crisis continues to wreak havoc on the housing market, a source of national pride has taken a sour turn. Home ownership is on the decline and, according to a recent Morgan Stanley report…’ }

#2 Land of Opportunity

Just like the ideal of owning a home, opportunity in this country is now also on the brink.

"Opportunity in this country means a chance for an education … [and] a chance for a decent job that allows you to have a decent life," says Enloe, who points to two key factors that hinder people making it here in America.

The cost of a college education continues to rise year after year.

The unemployment rate remains high at 9.2%, but it doesn't factor in the millions of "underemployed" workers -- those who are currently working part-time but would like full-time work -- and discouraged workers who have tired of looking for a job and have just dropped out of the job market.

#3 Land of Givers

While the U.S. does give more money in foreign aid than any other country in the world, as a percentage of GDP it falls way behind many other nations.

Whereas Sweden gives almost 1% of its GDP in 2008, the U.S. gave 0.19%.

"I think it really should shake Americans' self-perception of two things," says Enloe. "[One] is cutting foreign aid actually the ticket to balancing the budget, but also how do we shape up compared to other countries' generosity?" ’

Debt Deal Is A Blank Check at Forbes

U.S. Economic Pessimism Grows - Stacy Curtin ‘While Democrats and Republicans were arguing over how to prevent the U.S. from a default, families across the country have become increasingly concerned about the overall state of the economy, according to the American Enterprise Institute's latest compilation of recent polls taken in various regions.

Friday's worse than expected GDP numbers only reaffirm this notion. The U.S. economy grew less than expected in the second quarter at 1.3%, but the bigger shock came after Q1 GDP was revised down to 0.4% from 1.9%. These numbers suggest the country could be headed for another recession and Americans are definitely feeling the pain. (See: 2011 Is Proving to Be a Horrible Year For the Economy)

One of the most disconcerting findings in the AEI report is a CBS/New York Times poll from June. It showed that over the last year, more Americans have come to believe the current economic downturn is part of a long-term permanent decline and that the economy will never fully recover. In October 2010, 28% of respondents agreed with that statement, versus 39% last month.

"Americans are so pessimistic about the economy now ... . And the level of public pessimism is actually higher than the deep 1981-82 recession overall," due to grim personal outlooks on a number of issues like jobs, retirement and health care, says Karlyn Bowman, a senior fellow at AEI who co-authored the report. "Their negative sentiments are affecting the way they feel about their family's future, and interestingly, the way they feel about their state governments. Usually negative attitudes about the national government don't seep into attitudes about the state government, but this time it is really different. This negative, gloomy mood is pervasive.

Speaker of the House John Boehner echoed these concerns Thursday before one of the many failed House votes to raise the country's debt ceiling. "This is a challenging time for our country," he said. "Americans are worried about their jobs. They're worried about our economy. And they're worried about our debt."

Since the polls in the report were conducted before the debt-ceiling debate really began heating up over the last few weeks, one might conclude that if the same questions were asked today the responses would be even more pessimistic.

Here are other key findings from the AEI report:

Job anxiety: In the past six months, about 5% of Americans surveyed had lost their job, two in 10 said a family member had lost a job, and six in 10 knew someone who lost a job.

In June 2011, 58 percent were very or somewhat worried they could lose a job in the next 12 months. Nearly eight in 10 say jobs are difficult to find where they live. Around a quarter are worried about benefit or pay cuts.

Cutting back: Americans are cutting back on everything from health care to haircuts. Fewer than four in 10 say their personal financial situation is in excellent or good shape right now. Almost as many people say they are falling behind as believe they are getting ahead, but the vast majority describe their financial situation as having just enough money to maintain their standard of living. Inflation worries are high and steady.

Retirement: There's been a dramatic drop in the number of Americans who say they have enough money to retire. In 2002, around six in 10 believed they would have enough money. In the latest survey by Gallup in April, only about four in 10 say they will.’

10 Reasons We Are Heading for a Recession

USAGOLD RoundTable: Debt Ceiling “Resolution” – EU Sovereign Debt Crisis Aug 3rd, 2011 15:53 by News We’re pleased to present our latest RoundTable video discussion with our staff experts George Cooper, Peter Grant and Jonathan Kosares {Immediate access here} Excerpt: Now that the debt ceiling debate is over, and the dust is settling, the market is beginning to get a picture of what, if anything, was accomplished, and can be expected moving forward. The $2 trillion in cuts over ten years amounts to a small dent in our annual deficit, suggesting that the U.S. will continue to increase its debt to GDP ratio over the coming decade. The cuts suggested will merely slow, not reverse, this trend. In the end, this debt deal is nothing more than a giant kick of the can down the road, and a short road at that. The hike to the debt ceiling looks to only buy about six months, so this issue is set to be revisited next year. The market has digested this “resolution” as such, and gold has responded sharply higher, rising $60 in two days. The DOW meanwhile has come under significant pressure, shedding over 800 points in a week. Things across the pond are not looking any better. The credit facility set up by the ECB is insufficient at best, and contagion remains an enormous risk. Spreads on sovereign debt in Italy, Spain, Greece, Portugal and Ireland are at or near all time highs. As talks of dramatically expanding the credit facility heat up, we’re left to wonder if its even possible for Europe to “go big enough” to calm market jitters. With Peter Grant, George Cooper, and Jonathan Kosares. (24 min) The Daily Market Report Aug 1st, 2011 12:01 by PG Relief? What Relief? http://www.usagold.com/cpmforum Late last night when party leaders and the President announced that they had reached a bipartisan deal that would allow the debt ceiling to be raised, gold dropped about 1%. Global stocks rallied in relief and briefly, ever so briefly, gold was out of favor. However, as the details were revealed, doubts were reignited: Doubts as to whether such legislation could actually make it to the President’s desk. Doubts that the deal would avert a downgrade of US sovereign debt.While the CBO scores the package as accomplishing $2.1 trillion in spending cuts over the next 10-years, the CBO baseline also has the deficit rising $6.7 trillion over the same period. The premise apparently being that we’re working our way to actual cutting by cutting to slow the pace of the nation’s proliferate spending. In actuality — and as evidenced below — that CBO baseline may prove to be way too optimistic.What really lit an intraday fire under gold today was the big miss on US July ISM, which plunged to 50.9. The market was expecting a modest downtick to 55.0 from 55.3 in June. On the heals of last week’s much weaker than expected quarterly GDP data, it has become abundantly apparent that the US economy has slowed to just above stall-speed. David Rosenberg, chief economist at Gluskin Sheff and Associates, noted last week that once the economy slows to a growth rate of 1.6% it has proven historically to be a “point of no return” and recession follows. With Q1 downgraded to just 0.36% and Q2 an anemic 1.3% — and likely subject to future negative revision as well — the writing may well be on the wall.The debt deal is a short-term kick of the can that at least initially focuses on spending cuts. However, with no mitigation of the uncertainties that have kept private capital sidelined for the past two-years of the so-called recovery, there is little reason to think that a more robust economy is just around the corner. In fact, the opposite may be true. That realization, tipped in by the ISM data, has further escalated the QE3 talk, which prompted gold to retest the record high set Friday at 1632.39. Relief? What relief?If we get another negative surprise on Friday when July nonfarm payrolls comes out, as the ISM employment index suggests we might, the QE3 talk will intensify ever more in the weeks ahead of the Fed’s Jackson Hole summit. Consensus on July payrolls are running around +100k, although we could see some tempering of those expectations in light of the ISM data.Even with the announcement of the debt ceiling deal, the dollar remains on the ropes, falling to new record lows against the Swiss franc and the yen. If this deal makes it through both Houses of Congress and is signed by the President, it is just another kick of the can — and a very short one at that — down the road. And with the specter of yet another round of quantitative easing hanging over the market, there is little incentive to buy dollars. Now the BoJ is once again contemplating direct intervention in the market, as I suspect the SNB is. If there are concerted efforts to slow the rise of these currencies, it may make gold an even more alluring option.’

S&P Shocks the U.S. with Credit Downgrade to AA+ from Prestigious AAA Rating Wall St. Cheat Sheet August 5, 2011,

‘Standard & Poor’s is out with an official downgrade of the U.S. credit rating:

• We have lowered our long-term sovereign credit rating on the United States of America to ‘AA+’ from ‘AAA’ and affirmed the ‘A-1+’ short-term rating.

• We have also removed both the short- and long-term ratings from CreditWatch negative.

• The downgrade reflects our opinion that the fiscal consolidation plan that Congress and the Administration recently agreed to falls short of what, in our view, would be necessary to stabilize the government’s medium-term debt dynamics.

• More broadly, the downgrade reflects our view that the effectiveness, stability, and predictability of American policymaking and political institutions have weakened at a time of ongoing fiscal and economic challenges to a degree more than we envisioned when we assigned a negative outlook to the rating on April 18, 2011.

• Since then, we have changed our view of the difficulties in bridging the gulf between the political parties over fiscal policy, which makes us pessimistic about the capacity of Congress and the Administration to be able to leverage their agreement this week into a broader fiscal consolidation plan that stabilizes the government’s debt dynamics any time soon.

• The outlook on the long-term rating is negative. We could lower the long-term rating to ‘AA’ within the next two years if we see that less reduction in spending than agreed to, higher interest rates, or new fiscal pressures during the period result in a higher general government debt trajectory than we currently assume in our base case.

ATTENTION IDIOTS IN THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA – Stop The Budget Lies – There Are NO Cuts – House Passes Bill To INCREASE Spending By $7 Trillion Over The Next 10 Years

Lies, Damn Lies And Government Budgets

I am so pissed off by the misreporting I could spit Ken Lewis hairballs.

#1) Corporate journalists and financial pundits know NOTHING about budgets.

#2) The Boehner led House passed legislation this evening that INCREASES spending by $7 TRILLION over the next ten years versus a baseline budget that would have increased spending by $9.5 TRILLION over the same period.

#3) CBO said today that LESS than 2% of the decrease in the GROWTH of spending will come before the 2012 elections. The remainder come after the election.

#4) Defense and war machine spending will grow at 3% per year instead of 4% per year.

#5) This was nothing but an agreement to agree at a later date to look for reductions in planned spending GROWTH.

#6) A Super Congress will decide on a mix of tax increases and reductions in planned spending growth to meet the targets at a later date.

#7) No one in Congress even considered Ron Paul’s simple plan, now endorsed by Time Magazine as well as liberal economist Dean Baker, to wipe out $1.6 trillion in fake debt owned by the Federal Reserve. Debt that we owe to ourselves, that is entirely legal to wipe away.

#8.) CBO says under this plan, the national debt will INCREASE from $14.4 TRILLION currently to more than $25 TRILLION over the next 10 years.

#9) The assumption for #8 above assumes the economy grows at 3% per year over the next 10 years, and that Treasury interest rates stay at historic lows. When rates increase, and bet your life that they will, interest on the debt will increase and so will annual deficits, leading to a national debt much higher than the $25 TRILLION that CBO estimates.

#10) Regarding Treasury rates and interest on the debt, get educated about a concept called ‘DURATION RISK.’ Turbo Geithner and his MENSA bed-fellows at Treasury have chosen to finance the great majority of recent and future borrowing in short-term bills, which means that they have to be rolled over frequently. This is perhaps the least-discussed and most dangerous issue related to Treasury debt.

#11) If S&P or Moody’s has the sack to downgrade the U.S. AAA rating, a Sovereign CDS default will be triggered and Global Financial Armageddon will be unleashed.

#12) The bill passed by Boehner tonight was the BEST they could do after 6 weeks of fighting.

#13) Due to #12, the United States is officially f*cked.

Thank you and good night.’

US Closer to ‘Junk Bond’ Status Than Triple-A: Bove Aug 9th, 2011 14:41 by News August 9 (CNBC) — ‘ “You’ve got a company which is losing about $1.4 trillion this year, probably will lose somewhere around a trillion dollars over the next couple of years. It owes $14.4 trillion (and) over the next five years that will get up to $20 trillion,” the Rochdale Securities analyst said.“So there’s no likelihood whatsoever that this particular company is able to pay down from its own resources the amount of debt that it has, nor is there any likelihood that it’s going to get rid of its deficit,” he added. “If that was a real company, of course, that would be a junk bond.”“I still would expect to see a thousand-point down day at some point in this market as people come to realize there has been a complete change in the financial structure of the world,” he said’

3 Ring Circus: Geithner, Buffett, and Obama Wall St. Cheat Sheet ‘…Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner , who said last April that there was no risk the U.S. could loose its AAA credit rating, voiced his thoughts on the downgrade. He said, “ They’ve handled themselves very poorly, and they’ve shown a stunning lack of knowledge about the basic U.S. fiscal budget math.” What exactly are they misunderstanding? The U.S. is the largest debtor nation in the world, and spending outlays vastly outnumber revenue. Geithner went on to say that U.S. bonds were just as safe after the downgrade as before, and predicted that China and investors would remain strong buyers of government debt.On Monday morning, with stock futures heading sharply lower, Warren Buffett tried to inject confidence into the financial markets. Buffett explained that he believes the U.S. debt is still rated AAA, and the downgrade does not change his mind about government debt. In fact, the legendary investor holds $47 billion in cash and equivalents as of June 30th. He said, “ If I have to buy Treasuries at zero percent yield, I will.” At least the large cash hoard shows that Buffett puts his money where his mouth is. However, one also has to wonder if Buffett’s shareholdings in Moody’s , a rival credit agency to S&P, has anything to do with his criticism of S&P. To add fuel to the fire, S&P also cut Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway outlook from stable to negative.Not to be outdone by Warren Buffett’s AAA endorsement, President Obama made a public announcement of his own on Monday. Despite America’s financial hardship across the board, the President said, “ I’d give U.S. a quadruple-A rating.” This was puzzling for many reasons ( besides the fact there is no quadruple-A rating). America has a hard enough time keeping its AA+ or AAA rating, let alone achieving some pipe dream quadruple-A rating. S&P may be the credit agency causing controversy now, but it’s not the only credit agency to downgrade America. China’s credit rating agency Dagong , recently cut America’s debt rating from A+ to A, with a negative outlook. Dagong had already cut America’s credit rating last November from AA to A+ after QE2 was announced.By the end of Monday, it was announced that the Senate banking committee had started a probe into the downgrade actions of S&P. However, the damage is already done, confidence is broken in the markets. Gold constantly reaching new highs is a clear example of this. Perhaps the Senate banking committee should probe Fitch and Moody’s and investigate why they still have AAA ratings on U.S. debt?...’

Edwards says this has nothing to do with that downgrade http://ftalphaville.ft.com/blog/2011/08/09/648126/edwards-says-this-has-nothing-to-do-with-that-downgrade

Posted by Izabella Kaminska on Aug 09 2011

Thought the current turmoil was down to the downgrade of US debt? Wrong!

According to Societe Generale’s uber bear, Albert Edwards, this has absolutely nothing to do with S&P, the White House, Tea Party etc. It’s the economy stupid:

The simple fact is that the global economy is falling back into recession or indeed is already in recession. Equity markets were sliding before the downgrade and bond yields were reacting as one would have expected to the dire economic data. The S&P downgrade may have caused the breach of critical support levels of 1250 on the S&P, but anything could have caused that breach and triggered the technical rout. Expect some sort of retest of this neckline before the market ultimately meets its date with destiny.

Recent US GDP revisions revealed QE2 to be an abject failure as far as producing an economic recovery is concerned with dire 0.9% annualised growth reported in H1 2011. Yet to a man with a hammer, everything is a nail. Hence despite rising core inflation, there is certainly a level of economic and/or market pain to prompt QE3. But expect the real fireworks to occur when the adrenalin rush of QE3 wears off even quicker than QE2.

There are still some diehard ‘happy clappies’ out there who think we are going to avert recession and the markets will recover. Yet US GDP growth has now fallen below the wellknown 2% stall speed, below which the economy does not seem to be able to regain altitude but instead crashes directly into recession.

Which means it’s time to come to terms with the fact that recession 2.0 (or was it ever really a recovery?) is on its way whether you like it or not:

At the current (Q2) rate of 1.6% yoy GDP growth, my fellow bear (realist?), David Rosenberg at Gluskin Sheff, points out in the chart below that a US recession is almost certainly a done deal (never say certain, as in 1956, when recession was temporarily averted for all of nine months). But with this sort of record the onus is now on the optimists to demonstrate why on earth they still believe in a second-half recovery and growth in 2012.

Now, anyone who bought into the dulcet tones of the bullish brigrade is likely to do very badly. A fact which will come as hubris. In Edwards’ opinion if you were dumb enough to listen to that story, well… you reap what you sow:

And in the same way that a country is said to get the government it deserves, I believe the market gets the macro commentators it deserves: i.e. perpetually bullish analysts, taking no personal risk with their never-ending consensus chatter.

After all it was always pretty obvious what was going to happen.

It was just a question of when, rather than if:

Put into its proper Ice Age context, the events of the past decade are entirely explicable. As we see a short-lived economic recovery failing only two years into the cycle and a plunge back into recession, we remind investors that this was exactly the Ice Age template that Japan showed us. A fragile recovery undermined by private sector deleveraging collapses as a semi-bankrupt government tries to rein in runaway deficits.

What next? Well, it’s Ice Age 3.

Here’s how it goes and this is very much of the moment (especially if you are a London resident):

We are now entering the third phase of the Ice Age when another cyclical failure combines with a secular de-rating of equities and re-rating of government bonds. I and many others have been pointing out for a long time now the simple fact that the global economy has been living way beyond its means for years. A massive transfer of income to the very rich has occurred while middle class real incomes stagnated. The middle classes only tolerated this because Central Bankers created housing booms to keep the impoverished middle classes borrowing and spending to give them the illusion of prosperity and stop them from revolting.

I believe the Fed and Bank of England, in particular, were wholly complicit in this ‘daylight robbery’ (see link). These unsustainable private sector, debt mountains were transferred to the public sector in 2008 to prevent the adjustment to the depression-era reality that the debt unwind would undoubtedly have brought about. Yet, those debts are as unsustainable in the hands of the public sector as they were in the private sector.

Central bank polices haven’t changed though. Print and print and print. And if that doesn’t work, print some more. And as London burns, the point I have always made is that the US and UK are not like Japan in one very special way. Although Japan suffered a decade of pain it is a very homogenous, equal society. The UK and US are not. Some readers may not know that rioting and looting has broken out around London. While I hear the UK politicians denounce the looters as common criminals (which of course they are), I can’t help but think that Louis XVI in 1789 and Tsar Nicolas II in 1917 might have said the same thing.

Crikey,

Here comes the revolution. Prepare.’

Fed Move, Pavlovian Market Response: Reactions The Wall Street Journal Mark Gongloff ‘Paul Krugman scoffs at the Fed-fueled rally:

The Fed didn’t announce a new policy. And despite what some press reports said, it didn’t even commit to keeping rates low; all it did was say that if the economy stays weak, rates will stay low — well, duh — and that it might think about doing other stuff one of these days.

Tyler Durden is amazed:

Following a 600 point plunge in the DJIA yesterday, today we see a 400 point surge following the presentation of the weak case of the expected Bernanke Put.

8 More Reasons Why You Should Be Deeply Concerned That The U.S. Government Has Lost Its AAA Credit Rating The Economic Collapse | Are you ready for part two of the global financial collapse? When we examine this “deal” that way, what does it look like? The Economic Collapse Aug 9, 2011 ‘Are you ready for part two of the global financial collapse? Many now fear that we may be on the verge of a repeat of 2008 after the events of the last several days. On Friday, Standard & Poor’s stripped the U.S. government of its AAA credit rating for the first time in history. World financial markets had been anticipating a potential downgrade, but that still didn’t stop panic from ensuing as this week began. On Monday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 634.76 points, which represented a 5.5 percent plunge. It was the largest one day point decline and the largest one day percentage decline since December 1, 2008. Overall, stocks have fallen by about 15 percent over the past two weeks. When Standard & Poor’s downgraded long-term U.S. government debt from AAA to AA+, it was just one more indication that faith in the U.S. financial system is faltering. Previously, U.S. government debt had a AAA rating from S&P continuously since 1941, but now that streak is over. Nobody is quite sure what comes next. We truly are in unprecedented territory. But one thing is for sure – there is a lot of fear in the air right now.So exactly what caused S&P to downgrade U.S. government debt?Well, it was the debt ceiling deal that broke the camel’s back.According to S&P, the debt ceiling deal “falls short of what, in our view, would be necessary to stabilize the government’s medium-term debt dynamics.”As I have written about previously, the debt ceiling deal was a complete and total joke, and S&P realized this.Forget all of the huge figures that the mainstream media has been throwing at you concerning this debt ceiling deal. The only numbers that matter are for what happens before the next election.The only way that the current debt ceiling deal will last beyond the 2012 election is if Obama is still president, the Democrats still control the Senate and the Republicans still control the House. If any of those things change, this deal ceiling deal is dead as soon as the election is over.Even if all of those things remain the same, there is still a very good chance that we would see dramatic changes to the deal after the next election.So in evaluating this “deal”, the important thing is to look at what is going to happen prior to the 2012 election.Well, Barack Obama and the Democrats get the debt ceiling raised by over 2 trillion dollars and will not have to worry about it again until after the 2012 election.The Republicans get 25 billion dollars in “savings” from spending increases that will be cancelled.The “Super Congress” that is supposed to be coming up with the second phase of the plan may propose some additional “spending cuts” that would go into effect before the 2012 election, but that seems unlikely.So in the final analysis, the Democrats won the debt ceiling battle by a landslide.25 billion dollars is not even 1 percent of the federal budget. The U.S. national debt continues to spiral wildly out of control, and our politicians could not even cut the budget by one percent.Somehow our politicians believed that the rest of the world would be convinced that they were serious about cutting the budget, but it turns out that global financial markets are tired of getting fooled.It has gotten to the point where now even the big credit rating agencies are being forced to do something. Not that they really have much credibility left. Everyone still remembers all of those AAA-rated mortgage-backed securities that imploded during the last financial crisis. The reality is that the big credit rating agencies are a bad joke at this point.Several smaller credit rating agencies have already significantly slashed the credit rating of the U.S. government. But a lot of pressure had been put on the “big three” to keep them in line.But now things have gotten so ridiculous that S&P felt forced to make a move.Sadly, our politicians are still trying to maintain the charade that everything is okay. Barack Obama says that financial markets “still believe our credit is AAA and the world’s investors agree”.Once again, Barack Obama is dead wrong.The truth is that the credit rating for the U.S. government should have been slashed significantly a long time ago. This move by S&P was way, way overdue.Moody’s might be the next one to issue a downgrade. At the moment, Moody’s says that it will not be downgrading U.S. debt for now, but Moody’s also says that it has serious doubts about the enforceability of the “budget cuts” in the debt ceiling deal.This crisis is just beginning. It is going to play out over time, and it is going to be very messy.The following are 8 more reasons why you should be deeply concerned that the U.S. government has lost its AAA credit rating….

#1 The U.S. dollar and U.S. government debt are at the very heart of the global financial system. This credit rating downgrade just doesn’t affect the United States – it literally shakes the financial foundations of the entire world.

#2 As the stock market crashes, investors are flocking to U.S. Treasuries right now. However, once the current panic is over the U.S. could be faced with increased borrowing costs. The credit rating downgrade is a signal to investors that they should be receiving a higher rate of return for investing in U.S. government debt. If interest rates on U.S. government debt do end up going up, that is going to make it more expensive for the U.S. government to borrow money. The higher interest on the national debt goes, the more difficult it is going to become to balance the budget.

#3 We could literally see hundreds of other credit rating downgrades now that long-term U.S. government debt has been downgraded. For example, S&P has already slashed the credit ratings of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac from AAA to AA+. S&P has also already begun to downgrade the credit ratings of states and municipalities. Nobody is quite sure when we are going to see the dominoes stop falling, and this is not going to be a good thing for the U.S. economy.

#4 10-year U.S. Treasuries are the basis for a whole lot of other interest rates throughout our economy. If we see the rate for 10-year U.S. Treasuries go up significantly, it will suddenly become a lot more expensive to get a car loan or a home loan.

#5 The current financial panic caused by this downgrade is hitting financial stocks really hard. The big banks led the decline back in 2008, and it looks like it might be happening again. Just check out what CNN says happened to financial stocks on Monday….

Financial stocks were among the hardest hit, with Bank of America (BAC, Fortune 500) plunging 20%, and Citigroup (C, Fortune 500) and Morgan Stanley (MS, Fortune 500) dropped roughly 15%.

#6 China is freaking out. China’s official news agency says that China “has every right now to demand the United States to address its structural debt problems and ensure the safety of China’s dollar assets”. If China starts dumping U.S. government debt that would make things a lot worse.

#7 There are already calls for the Federal Reserve to step in and do something. If the U.S. economy drops into another recession, will we see more quantitative easing? It seems like we have reached a point where the Fed is constantly in “emergency mode”.

#8 The U.S. national debt continues to get worse by the day. Just check out what economics professor Laurence J. Kotlikoff recently told NPR….

“If you add up all the promises that have been made for spending obligations, including defense expenditures, and you subtract all the taxes that we expect to collect, the difference is $211 trillion. That’s the fiscal gap”

Dick Cheney once said that “deficits don’t matter”, but the truth is that all of the debt we have been piling up for decades is now catching up with us.The United States is in such a huge amount of financial trouble that it is hard to put into words. The days of easy borrowing for the U.S government are starting to come to an end. We have been living in the greatest debt bubble in the history of the world, and it has fueled a tremendous amount of “prosperity”, but now the party is ending.

A whole lot of financial pain is on the horizon. Please prepare for the hard times that are coming.’

Don't Fall For The Market's Head Fakes at Forbes David Trainer ‘The market decline experienced thus far is closer to its beginning rather than its end. Tuesday’s refreshing market rise was likely just a flash in the pan.

There is nothing that politicians or regulators can do to prevent the natural price discovery that is critical to the long-term health of our capitalist system.

The market needs to go down again before it can sustain any future rise.

We simply must deal with the loads of toxic and mis-allocated capital that our profligate society has created over the past 20+ years.

Allow me to explain how we got ourselves in this situation. The figure below highlights the three successive stock market bubbles in just over 10 years. Compare the size of these bubbles and the rise in stock prices over the last 25 years compared to the prior 65 years. A simple trendline further accentuates just how much stock prices have appreciated compared to historical trends.

Figure 1: Historically Enormous Stock Market Bubbles Keep Coming Back

http://blog.newconstructs.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/figure1.jpg

Sources: New Constructs, LLC and Ibbotson Ibbotson, 2010 Ibbotson Stocks, Bonds, Bills and Inflation Valuation Yearbook, (Chicago: Morning Star, 2008), 228–229. *Large Cap Stocks as defined by Ibbotson are the best comparison for the S&P 500, which did not exist as it does today in 1926.

I am not suggesting that stock prices should revert to the long-term trendline. I fully appreciate the accelerating pace of innovation realized by our society and its impact on standards of living and improved utilization of resources.

There is no question that we live in unprecedented times of prosperity and wealth creation. And technology holds great promise for the future achievement of mankind and will drive improvement in the standards of living around the world.

The problem is that we have gotten ahead of ourselves. By how much, I am not sure. But I am sure that we are due a (lasting) correction in the stock market, and the longer that correction is put off, the more painful it will be.

To illustrate, let’s review what drove the last two market bubbles.

Tech bubble – irrational exuberance about the value in tech stocks combined with rather loose monetary policy pushed stocks and capital flows to ridiculously high levels
Housing bubble – lax lending standards, unscrupulous bankers, conflicted regulators, a bottomless appetite for consumer spending and a seemingly infinite amount of cheap money to finance consumption.

Now, let’s review what happened after these bubbles burst.

After the tech bubble: monetary policy remained highly accommodative and government stimulus was aplenty
After the housing bubble: monetary policy remained highly accommodative and government stimulus was aplenty

See the response pattern? See how it affected the markets?

It is as if the bubbles never burst. Game back on. Like a high-school party, the music stops and everyone is quiet when the cops show up. Someone convinces the cops that nothing unscrupulous is going on and all will be calm and quiet. Then, as soon as the cop car is out of sight, the music gets turned back on and the party goes harder.

What will be the response to the third bubble that is forming?

That is the question that I think the market is finally facing. The answer is not the same as before.

The government has run out of stimulus and policy bullets.

Really, what else can politicians and regulators do to engineer a soft landing, or should I say, another bubble.

Figure 1 shows that we never really landed. We rocketed from one bubble to the next.

Let’s take a look at the options available via the two main forces for stimulating economic recovery:

Fiscal policy – given the federal, state and municipal debt and budget problems, another round of stimulus spending or another TARP-like program is probably not in the cards. The funds are simply not available. Not to mention, I do not think another bailout plan would go over very well with tax-payers.
Monetary policy – here we have three potential options.

Lower rates – can they go any lower? The answer is not meaningfully lower unless the Federal Reserve wants negative nominal rates. In addition, low interest rates undermine long-term economic growth potential.
Extend QE2 to QE3 – given that the point of QE2 was to keep interest rates, especially mortgage rates low, I do not think additional quantitative easing in the form taken so far would have much if any impact on rates given how lower they already are. Moreover, driving oil and other commodity prices higher by further undermining the value of the dollar is not exactly conducive to growth.
A new type of QE3 – suppose the Fed were to purchase large amounts of assets other than treasuries such as foreclosed homes. I think that action would likely spook investors because it would signal that the carrying value of those homes were too high. Otherwise, private investors would have already bought them for their own portfolios. And bank stocks would sink as investors realize that additional write-offs might be coming. The same reaction applies to any other asset that the Fed might choose to take off private investors’ hands.

So, who is going to bail us out this time?

My overriding message is that no one should have bailed us out to begin with. The longer we avoid the painful process of deleveraging and returning to a more deliberate and rational mode of capital allocation, the more we delay the inevitable. The more we shift the blame for our financial mistakes to the public sector, the deeper the hole we must dig out of.

Which brings me to the next point: shifting responsibility to the public sector, i.e. government, presents some very serious problems and headwinds for future growth:

The government is not bailing anyone out, taxpayers are. In essence, the government is using hard-earned tax revenue to pay for the mistakes of certain members of our society.
Moral hazard is confused with moral obligation. Re-distribution of wealth to those that are in genuine need of assistance from society is in our long-term best interests. But moral obligation quickly becomes moral hazard when the re-distribution applies to people who should, but prefer not to, care for themselves.
When the people who make mistakes do not pay for mistakes, they keep making them…bigger and bigger. Can you say “mortgage back securities”?
We run out of money. When capital from productive sources is siphoned away to subsidize unproductive investments, capital is destroyed and never to be found again. When there is less capital available for productive investments, growth is forced to slow as are incomes and payrolls.
When growth slows and jobs are not available, bad things happen. For an example of bad things happening now, take a look at the riots in the streets in London.

Until we allow the natural price discovery that unfettered markets are designed to provide, we continue to subsidize unproductive investments. And the longer we subsidize unproductive investments, the more wealth (and jobs) we destroy in the present and in the future.

Sure, it feels better when the stock market skyrockets, bank accounts are fat, growth is strong and the financial future is bright. Wasn’t that what we got in the 1990s, then again in the first decade of this century?

It cannot go on forever. Consider how much the housing bubble was driven by too much borrowing? Though financing might be cheap and easy to get for extended periods of time, there is not an infinite supply.

At its core, borrowing is simply a method of cashing in today on future earnings. The more we borrow against future earnings, the less we have in the future.

Using borrowed funds to subsidize unproductive investments only compounds and accelerates wealth destruction.

Keynesian policies can be successful in certain situations and for limited amounts of time, but they cannot be sustained infinitely. Borrowing and spending by the government can help the economy survive a soft patch or decrease the depth of a recession, but it does not fix the underlying capital allocation problem.

Keynesian economic policies are patches to economic problems, not fixes. If extended for too long, they only make matters worse.

Before the housing bubble, the government was levered to the hilt. After the housing bubble, consumers are also levered to the hilt. Both are struggling to balance their checkbooks.

So who is left to bail us out? Only two potential candidates: American corporations and foreign countries.

A quick survey of the status of the other major economic powers is not exactly inspiring. China is slowing growth to fight its inflation problems. The European Unions, well, they have their own problems. Japan is not exactly prospering. In general, there are few, if any, global economic bright spots. None are large enough to bail out anyone.

There are many bright spots in corporate America. Companies like Apple (AAPL-very attractive rating), Google (GOOG-very attractive rating), Microsoft (MSFT-very attractive rating) and many others are as profitable as ever. Their returns on capital rank among the very best in the world. They are shining examples of capital realizing its highest and best use. For the country as a whole, cash flow returns on assets are near all-time highs. Much of the recent profits, however, have come at the expense of the consumer as wages have grown much more slowly than profits.

Then, there are the banks. US banks recently enjoyed the largest bailout in the history of the world. Further, their profit margins have been subsidized by sustained low interest rates. And yet, they are lending little money.

Is the problem that banks do not want to lend or that there are not enough borrowers?

I think the answer is both. Many banks are still carrying a great deal of toxic assets. With so much risk already on their balance sheet, they cannot afford to take on more.

As for borrowers, the uncertain tax, regulatory and economic outlooks are not exactly enticing entrepreneurs, small and large businesses to take risk.

To summarize, there is no one left to bail us out this time.

So, what happens next? We buckle down and face the long hard road to true, not artificially subsidized recovery.

We recognize facts:

We cannot spend more than what we make forever. Seems like an obvious statement, but that is not how the United States has operated over the past several years.
We have wasted lots of capital by subsidizing unproductive investments.
We have delayed the process of creative destruction whereby unproductive investments are replaced by productive investments.
Because of our wastefulness and the delay in creative destruction, much time is required to restore wealth back to the levels to which we have become accustomed.
We must rebuild diligently, rationally and deliberately to ensure capital realizes its highest and best use.
Kicking the can down the road, Euro-style, only delays the inevitable and makes the problem worse.
Eventually, we will be much better off than what we started.

In the meantime, the stock market and economic activity will continue to suffer. No pain no gain.’

Stock Market Slide Is the Latest Blow to the Middle ClassThe Daily Ticker Peter Gorenstein ‘Stocks resumed their decline on Wednesday -- the third big drop in the last five trading days. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed down 520 points, or 4.6%. The S&P 500 fell 4.4% to close at 1,121, while the Nasdaq was taken down more than 101 points to the end the day at 2,381.In other words, Tuesday's gains, in which the Dow jumped 430 points, are a distant memory.Stocks are on track for their worst monthly drop since after the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy in the fall of 2008. After making steady gains in their 401(k) plans since then, average Americans are once again falling further behind on their retirement goals. The recent drop in the market is making headlines, but as Aaron Task and the Breakout team discuss in this clip, it's by no means the only economic hardship facing the middle class -- it's just the latest. Here are some other headlines you might have missed while you were watching your portfolio shrink over the last few days.

HORRIFIC HOUSING MARKET

Existing home sales fell 2.8% in the second quarter compared to a year ago, according to the National Association of Realtors. The number of home sales is also off, falling 5.4% from the previous quarter and is down almost 13% compared to the sometime last year. At this rate the housing market will continue to be a drag on the economy.

BACKDOOR BAILOUT FOR BANKS

Meanwhile, as homeowner pain reaches new heights, it appears banks continue to receive favorable treatment from the government. The Wall Street Journal reports Fannie Mae -- essentially a government entity (that by the way continues to receive billions in taxpayer aid each quarter) -- just spent $500 million to buy the servicing rights to a Bank of America (BAC) portfolio of "seven million loans still causing the most problems." That's what they call a backdoor bailout.Speaking of Bank of America, the stock continued to mirror the pattern of steep sell-offs and furious rallies seen in the broader market. This time, shares of BofA were down 10.9% to $6.77. A conference call held by CEO Brian Moynihan with investors, led by Fairholme's Bruce Berkowitz, didn't help the bank's cause. According to a summary of the call in the WSJ, Moynihan pushed back against those who would question how he has performed while leading the company, and he said BofA would not part ways with brokerage firm Merrill Lynch. Additionally, he said there weren't "many days when I get up and think positively about the Countrywide transaction in 2008."BofA bought the big mortgage firm during the 2008 credit crisis, and it has been responsible for a gigantic financial drag on the firm in the time since.

FED'S FOLLY

The Federal Reserve on Tuesday said it will keep interest rates "exceptionally low" through the middle of 2013. That and the possibility of more quantitative easing may eventually reflate assets -- a good thing for stock portfolios. The problem is the Fed's reaction to the crisis has and will continue to do little to improve real economic conditions, such as stubbornly high unemployment, which remains at 9.1% more than two years after the financial crisis. And, for those able to save some money, the low interest rates aren't rewarding your bank accounts. Add it all up, and unfortunately there's little to feel good about.’

3 Reasons Markets Rallied After Initial Jobless Claims Fell Below 400K Wall St. Cheat Sheet August 11, 2011, ‘Markets closed up on Wall Street today: Dow +3.90% , S&P +4.59% , Nasdaq +4.69% , Oil +3.22% , Gold -1.54% .

On the commodities front, Oil climbed to $85.56 a barrel, while precious metals declined, with Gold falling to $1,756.90 an ounce and Silver down 1.57% to $38.87 an ounce.

Don’t Miss: The 10 Most Indebted Governments in the World.

Today’s markets were up because:

1) Jobless claims. Initial unemployment benefits claims fell below the 400,000-mark for the first time last week in nearly four months, a mark that is very important because anything below it means the market is growing — that more jobs are being created than eliminated. The last time weekly initial jobless claims were below 400,000 was April. The news is a positive follow up to Friday’s Labor Department report that had the economy adding 117,000 jobs in July, and would seem to prove that the economy is slowly but surely beginning to improve, despite so much recent evidence to the contrary.

2) Italy. The economies and markets of Europe and the U.S. are inextricably linked, or at least have been of late. One’s sovereign debt crisis is felt by all, another’s downgrade is felt overseas — such has been the case for months, with U.S. stocks tending to mirror European stocks, which get an earlier start on the day, but also vice versa. Today, CNBC reported that Italy might place a ban on “naked” short selling, in which investors sell a financial instrument without first borrowing it. The news relieved some stress on the country’s markets, and ultimately European stocks finished higher, despite the weight of France’s increasing deficit, and worries that the second-largest euro-zone economy could be in danger of a downgrade.

3) Cisco. After a better-than-expected earnings report, Cisco Systems led networking and telecom hardware stocks in strongly outperforming the Nasdaq. Among some of the biggest gainers were Cavium Inc. , JDS Uniphase , and NetLogic Microsystems , all climbing over 11% today.

THE STOCK ROLLER COASTER GOES UP: Here's What You Need To Know Business Insider Gus Lubin, August 11, 2011, ‘Another explosive movement for stocks, this time upward. But first, the scoreboard: Dow: +423 NASDAQ: +112 S&P: +52 [Note: This Closing Bell was delayed due to technical difficulties.] And now, the top stories:

Another wild day in Europe. BNP Paribas and other French bank stocks started up as much as 6%, lifting markets in Europe and Asia. Then rumors about Greek exposure hit the wire and BNP led the sector with a 7% move into the red, dragging markets down. Finally after reassuring words from the Bank of France and (worrying?) moves to ban short selling, everything rebounded.
US futures moved solidly positive after a moderate beat on initial claims, with the number dropping to the lowest level since April. Meanwhile the trade deficit widened to $53 billion from $51 billion, disappointing expectations that it would narrow.
US markets opened up 100 points and moved higher through the day, though everyone was on edge following a period of insane volatility. For a little perspective, the Dow is up 500 today, down 520 yesterday, up 429 Tuesday, down 632 Monday, huge swings on Friday and down 512 Thursday. Add it up and we've still erased eight months of gains.

Kotlikoff recently told NPR….“If you add up all the promises that have been made for spending obligations, including defense expenditures, and you subtract all the taxes that we expect to collect, the difference is $211 trillion. That’s the fiscal gap” ..’ Previous: Is this some parallel universe where unfounded criticism is levied at S&P for the downgrade when they’ve actually cut the pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt disunited states a break by not rating what america truly is; viz., junk status for the paper / liabilities / obligations that cannot and will not be paid (or the equivalent vis-à-vis what would be in worse than evermore worthless Weimar dollars or some other ‘ponzi-like’ subterfuge, obfuscation). The amounts are insurmountable going forward. They point to Moody’s and Fitch; yet, let’s not kid ourselves, S&P is the ‘800 pound gorilla’ in this world among rating agencies and moody’s, fitch have substantially diminished themselves as entities consistent with their ‘mission and purpose’ and as well, their credibility. I mean, come on! Consider the pressure that was and continues to be applied. Moody’s and fitch, quite frankly, folded. China’s rating agency has already downgraded u.s. paper and they’re ‘holding’ (huge amounts of that u.s. junk); and hence, against their own interest. Wake up!

“Bin Laden” Heroes Probably Murderered to Keep Them Quiet ... Gordon Duff Veterans Today

FLASHBACK: Eyewitness to OBL Raid Saw Helicopter Explode (TRANSCRIPT) [ As indicated on this albertpeia.com website, I didn’t buy the administration’s desperate and politically opportunist Osama event and still don’t buy it; and further, I believe this! ]Veterans Today | TRANSCRIPT of critical interview with Pakistani eyewitness to Bin Laden raid. Is this the key to SEAL Team 6′s demise?

“Bin Laden” Heroes Probably Murderered to Keep Them Quiet Gordon Duff Veterans Today August 7, 2011 | Some Possibly Killed in Abbottabad Helicopter Crash Months Before. [ As indicated on this albertpeia.com website, I didn’t buy the administration’s desperate and politically opportunist Osama event and still don’t buy it; and further, I believe this! ] Today 31 NATO troops, 20 of them Navy Seals from the Osama bin Laden operation died in what is reported as a helicopter crash in Afghanistan.

‘The chance of this story being true is almost nil. The chances of this being a staged coverup is over 80%. We believe these people were murdered to silence them. This is why.

We have solid information on two areas:

1. Osama bin Laden died in 2001 as an active CIA employee and his body was recovered in Afghanistan and taken to “the sand box.” We were told it was frozen. We have so much verification from this, CIA, ISI, US military and top officials. I have a direct confirmation from Bin Laden’s CIA handler who I grilled mercilessly on this.

2. The Abbottabad operation involved numerous American deaths, witnessed, bodies all over, a helicopter crash. (suppressed translated TV interview below) These bodies were recovered by land vehicle from Islamabad and there was NO “successful” bin Laden operation of any kind. There was and has been a CIA safe house in Abbotabad where terror suspects were stored for years.

This gave the US several areas of severe vulnerability. Generally, Navy Seals are the best people in the world at keeping their mouths shut, these are real team players, as the term “Seal Team” belies.

We at VT were informed that the bin Laden operation was staged at this time, a theatrical farce, to cover the exit of Secretary Gates, the move by former CIA Director Leon Panetta into the DOD as Secretary of Defense and to stem any heroic claims by new CIA Director Petraeus of killing the long dead Osama bin Laden, the long frozen CIA operative.

Petraeus is a possible presidential contender and had to be denied this “gift from heaven,” a fast track to the oval office for sure.

Again, I remind you, I went over specific meetings on bin Laden with his handlers, getting every last detail. I have watched what has gone on, the continuing need to vilify a long dead top CIA operative to provide residual cover for the Bush administration…

The reason? Bush and his cronies are all facing charges of war crimes, not just in minor jurisdictions but heading for the ICC, putting them on the dock with Gaddafi ( a far less harmful character).

As for the timing of this incident? This we will work on. What we can easily surmise is that some of the dead have been dead since their bodies were taken away from the helicopter crash site in Abbotabad.

Who would order such a thing? We are going to have to wait but we are going to find out. However, we expected this, the timing is exactly as predicted. Read full article ‘

Tea Party hypocrisy Fueled by populist anger, but hijacked by plutocrats. (Washington Post) [ Ah, sweet Mr. Milbank. His love for wobama knows no bounds. Yet, given the choice between hypocrisy and inveterate lying, assuming arguendo, Mr. Milbank’s premise to be true (doubtful and I think most would say no), most would take hypocrisy any day. By now, most have realized that at best wobama’s a b***s*** artist, and at worst, an incorrigible liar; certainly as measured by his campaign promises that got him elected, belied by his actions. If Mr. Milbank had only said the nation’s been hijacked by plutocrats to whom wobama’s paid homage, I’d certainly agree in part. After all, there has been and continues a huge wealth transfer at the expense and to the detriment of the middle class, to the substantial benefit of the ‘plutocrats’ who in america are of that small percentile criminal class for whom everyone else must (and must be) sacrifice(d), ie., the wall street frauds, military industrial complex, government contractors, etc.. And, yet another casualty … if wobama’s peace-prize is not revoked, then that ignoble nobel thing should be disbanded for lack of credibility and moral compass. Deal fails to soothe foreign critics (Washington Post) { Let’s not kid outselves! I consider Russia a rational, great nation (their painful, yet peaceful transition from their mistake is a testament to their greatness as a people / nation and Gorbachev particularly – China’s recent success is as far from communism as can be imagined) and have high regard for Putin though lamenting his youthful, albeit inherited indiscretion (kind of like that Tiger hunt which he’s now wisely disavowed) in dabbling in the failed system of communism (the great lie where everybody’s equal except some are more equal than others, ie., party members, bureaucrats, etc., kind of like america today with the addition of the plutocratic wealthy thieves, criminals, frauds, etc.).

Wobama’s failed miserably and yet had the easiest act in the world to follow in the persona of fellow failed president war criminal dumbya bush whose failed policies up to the real start of the election cycle he’s largely followed. After all, Mr. Robinson, how different really are the parties these days when profligate spending on illegal, unnecessary wars was continued when democrats controlled congress, and then even the executive office when continuing failed president and war criminal dumbya bush’s nation bankrupting, nation destroying war policies, protection for unprecedentedly huge wall street frauds, bush tax cut extensions for the wealthy, and then some (spending on top of it).

Rubin: Fed to the country: the economy stinks

‘…information received since the Federal Open Market Committee met in June indicates that economic growth so far this year has been considerably slower than the Committee had expected. Indicators suggest a deterioration in overall labor market conditions in recent months, and the unemployment rate has moved up.The report adds: “The Committee now expects a somewhat slower pace of recovery over coming quarters than it did at the time of the previous meeting and anticipates that the unemployment rate will decline only gradually toward levels that the Committee judges to be consistent with its dual mandate.”

What can the Federal Reserve do? With the U.S. economy at risk of a double-dip recession, the central bank lacks tools to do anything. (Washington Post) [ Oh I’d say they’ve done quite enough … wouldn’t you? … Is Bernanke Failing His Fed Mission Or Just Delusional? at Forbes Robert Barone [ How ‘bout both! I mean, come on! This catering to fraudulent wall street was a loser ab initio! That so-called ‘wealth effect’ market froth was used previously by senile ‘maestro’ greenspan and failed miserably except for the frauds on wall street who commissioned up and down; and, make no mistake, those computer-programmed high-frequency trading volumes have now been maximized for nation-economy-draining profits for the frauds like never before and have never been higher. The QE and dollar-debasement policies were always predictably inflationary, ultimately hyperinflationary, particularly for stocks; that ‘feel good’ obfuscation that was but in reality good only for the frauds on wall street. No, there is no modern day alchemy that spins worthless paper into gold except fraudulently for the frauds on wall street who’ve literally oftimes done exactly that; ‘cashing out’ for hard currency and gold, precious metals, at everyone else’s expense including main street. ] In his June 7 speech, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke stated, “the best way for the Federal Reserve to support the fundamental value of the dollar in the medium term is to pursue our dual mandate of maximum employment and price stability, and we will certainly do that.”

This is the lowest level the U.S. has seen since March, 1984. The decline amounts to 8,946,844 fewer Americans in the labor force. Had they not dropped out because of a lack of jobs, the “official” unemployment rate would be significantly higher. While we can debate the meaning of the term maximum employment, it is clear that the jobs data has deteriorated considerably since Bernanke took the reins at the Fed. ..

In conclusion, it is evident that Ben Bernanke is failing his mandates. We believe it must come down to one of the following reasons:

1. Bernanke does not know how to achieve his mandates;

2. The policy tools employed don’t work;

3. He does not have the ability to implement policies that would work;

4. He is not trying to achieve his mandates;

5. He has goals other than his legal mandates;

6. He does not look at the data, and believes he is succeeding.

Dear Congresswoman Roybal-Allard:

ATF Chief Melson:Justice Department trying to shield officials (LATimes) Serrano

I believe him!

I truly empathize with the ATF in terms of government cover-ups, notably by even the DOJ. You’ll recognize some familiar names (ie., Alito, Trump, Freeh (Louis Freeh now has dual citizenship with Italy), and some familiar crimes (ie., drug money laundering, etc. – real cash cow for gov’t ops, bribes, etc.). [Did you know this about the following ATF Agents who were probably viewed as loose ends: Steve Willis, Robert Williams, Todd McKeahan & Conway LeBleu: Died February 28, 1993 by gunfire at Waco. All four were examined by a pathologist and died from identical wounds to the left temple. All four had been body guards for Bill Clinton, three while campaigning for President and when he was Governor of Arkansas.They also were the ONLY 4 BATF agents killed at Waco. ]

Here’s some real, complicit cover-up / fraud on the part of the federal government, et als:

October 15, 2010 (*see infra {ultimately delivered by UPS})

Steven M. Martinez, Assistant Director In Charge
Federal Bureau of Investigation, USDOJ
11000 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 1700

Los Angeles, CA 90024

Dear Sir:

A judgment had been entered in my favor in the case, United States District Court Case #3:93cv02065(AWT)(USDCJ Alvin Thompson), worth approximately now in excess of $300,000 remains unaccounted for and which could be used for payment to creditors, Los Angeles, etc..
Counsel Robert Sullivan on my behalf documented by way of certification upon investigation that Alan Shiff, USBCJ, had falsely stated a dismissal upon which false statement he predicated a retaliatory and spurious contempt proceeding against me causing substantial damage, and for which he sought Judicial Notice of those and related proceedings as did I in some of my filings.
The Order of Dismissal With Prejudice by Alan Shiff, USBCJ, owing to Defendant Coan’s failure to file anything whatsoever by the court’s deadline causing creditors and me substantial damages: [ Shiff Order of Dismissal With Prejudice on Coan’s Failure to File Page 1 Page 2 ]
Defendant Coan had filed an action against me to prevent me from suing him which necessitated me to fly to Connecticut for a hearing before The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District of Connecticut, who denied Coan’s requested relief as to Coan but precluded my action against Shiff (although there is no immunity, judicial or otherwise, for criminal acts, ie., fraud connected with a case under Title 11, USC, etc.) . [ transcript in pertinent part - crossexamofcoanbypeia.pdf ]
Newly appointed judge, Maryanne Trump Barry, Donald Trump’s sister, was assigned the RICO case despite the conflict of interest in light of hundreds of thousands of dollars of illegal (drug) money being laundered through the Trump casinos by the RICO defendants, and despite my motion to recuse her which motion she heard herself and denied, and U.S. Trustee Hugh Leonard with whom I met personally refused to join or file a separate motion to recuse and not long thereafter left said office for private practice at Cole, Shotz, et als on retainer with the RICO defendants as his primary client.

Probative and evidentiary documents, affidavits, exhibits, including those turned over to FBI Agent Jeff Hayes in Long Beach, CA, had been given to Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan Lacey with whom I met personally at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Newark, N.J., at which time Samuel Alito was U.S. Attorney, and went over said documents and their probative value with him. Within approximately a month thereafter upon inquiry I was told that Jonathon Lacey was no longer with the office, that the file/documents could not be located, and that there was no further information available concerning contacting him or his location. I thereupon delivered by hand, copies of said documents to the office of then U.S. Attorney Alito, addressed to him, with assurance they would go directly to him. In addition to being inept [ I looked in on the one mob case he had brought, bungled, lost (accidently on purpose?) since I was suing some mob-connected under RICO and the court (I had known / previously met outside of court the judge Ackerman through a client) was absolute bedlam and a total joke since incompetent corrupt Alito brought in all 20 mob defendants (rather than prosecute one or a few to flip them first) who feigning illness had beds/cots in the courtroom along with their moans during testimony and had the jury in stitches. As much as I hate the mob, it truly was funny, if not so tragic.], Alito is also corrupt (and maybe corrupt because he is inept). After a reasonable (but still rather short) time I called to determine the status and was told that Alito was no longer with the Office of the U.S. Attorney, that he was (appointed) a federal judge, and that neither the documents nor any file or record of same could be located. Alito did parley the same / cover-up into quid pro quo direct lifetime appointment to the Court of Appeals, 3^rd circuit, despite the absence of judicial experience or successful tenure as U.S. Attorney (Maryanne Trump Barry as well). This is the same Sam Alito that now sits on the purported highest court in the land. The real application of the illegal rule ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’.

Sincerely,

Albert L. Peia

[ I refrained from using the ‘n word’ (or even blacks / negroes) in referring to the culprits in the following two incidents (those tender sensibilities) but I’m sure you’ve guessed that they were niggers and I include same here in light of the foregoing incident (and yes, the victims were white), which is typical. ‘.. while walking through Military Park (a sliver of a “park” - more a pedestrian thoroughfare/cement walks) in newark, new jersey on the way to the bank during lunch hour, I heard the clearly audible screams/cries of what turned out to be an old lady on the ground with blood streaming from her mouth. I ran toward the sound of the cries, the source of which I could not see because there were so many people in and about this thoroughfare so as to block any vision of the source of the cries. When I came to the woman, on the ground, blood streaming from her mouth, I asked what happened, to which she responded she had been hit in the mouth and knocked to the ground, her purse stolen/put inside her shopping bag, and she pointed out the criminal casually now walking across the main street. Nobody stopped to help her, many having passed her by. I slammed the thug to the ground so hard that, in light of all the blood and confusion (limbic system / adrenalin flow) I thought I had been stabbed (the blood was from his elbows hitting the pavement so hard - no one helped / a crowd gathered / an undercover cop happened along). When I testified at the Grand Jury Proceeding I made sure his threat on my life was set forth in prima facie fashion so as to maximize the DA’s position with both felonies ( he went to prison – pled out ). The other case I wrote about here ( This was included on my website in the Psychology forum discussion of ‘bystander effect’ / diffusion of responsibility. ) - Having had occasion to have run down a mugger in newark, n.j. who apparently had followed a girl from the bank on her way to the bursar to pay tuition, though in pretty good shape, I was astounded by how totally exhausting such a pursuit was, how much like rubber my arms were when I traded punches with the perpetrator, and truth be told, if I had a flashlight on my belt, I have little doubt that I would have probably used it to subdue the perp (a police officer here in California was the object of intense criticism for having used a flashlight to subdue a criminal / nigger after a long chase so I included that here) . The girl was not that seriously injured, did get her pocketbook and tuition back, and the criminal / nigger went to jail (where they belong). The other thing about such a pursuit that amazed me was that no one else assisted the girl or me despite being in a position to do so. I was also mugged by 4 niggers and 2 hispanics in an incident here in Los Angeles, CA. But, to be fair and balanced, the RICO litigation involves those uncivilized who consider themselves ‘whites’ http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf (predominantly but not exclusively jews / romans-italians / mobsters / government slugs). ]

THEY'RE HERE! [ Uh! That ‘nausea’ factor; though not nearly of the magnitude of america’s unctuous duo, ‘wobama the b’ (for b***s***) and michelle his belle (see infra). After all, the cloyingly cutesy couple from across the pond is hardly in a position to do damage as are the wobamas. Yet, one must ask: just what exactly are they? Mascots? Non-emmissary emissaries? Indeed, in this economy it’s quite embarrassing for members of the so-called commonwealth, struggling economically and otherwise, england/uk being no exception (royals wealth’ is ultimately the product of common expense) to be celebrating celebrity for the sake of nothing more than celebrity. Worse is the pathetic display here in the defacto bankrupt disunited states (uk not much better and in many ways worse) relative to their former colonial masters. Then there was that ostentatious marriage display so well publicized even as the uk’s (eu, u.s. et als) ‘rank and file’ are sacrificing and the respective nation states crumbling. Even so-called celebrities here shun such meaningless displays of themselves and at least serve a cinematic (art form) purpose. Truth be told, I bear them no ill will; but, I bear them no good will either. After all, quite simply, they are but a meaningless, extravagantly costly welfare couple that are simply irrelevant. How pathetic and embarrassing for their fans, followers, onlookers and their liege. And, though I’m biased (I think Grace Kelly to have been the most exquisite of creatures to have graced this earth – Alfred Hitchcock with an eye for such things thought so too and said as much), clearly Prince Albert of Monaco and his bride’s wedding was tastefully and not cloyingly about right. Now that’s real royalty via Grace Kelly; with a purpose; the management / leadership of a prime travel / gambling / entertainment / resort destination; viz., Monaco. ]

.. Bernanke’s results .. since Ben took the reins:

Feb ’06 – April ’11

Items in a Typical Budget	% Change
Food and Beverages	16.54%
Water and sewer and trash collection services	31.88%
Rent of primary residence	13.82%
Housing	8.68%
Fuels and Utilities	11.93%
Apparel	4.83%
Medical Care	20.11%
Gasoline (all types)	65.12%
Transportation	23.36%
Tuition, other school fees, and childcare	29.28%
Recreation	2.87%

In conclusion, it is evident that Ben Bernanke is failing his mandates. We believe it must come down to one of the following reasons:

1. Bernanke does not know how to achieve his mandates;

2. The policy tools employed don’t work;

3. He does not have the ability to implement policies that would work;

4. He is not trying to achieve his mandates;

5. He has goals other than his legal mandates;

6. He does not look at the data, and believes he is succeeding.

I truly empathize with the ATF in terms of government cover-ups, notably by even the DOJ.

[Did you know this about the following ATF Agents who were probably viewed as loose ends: Steve Willis, Robert Williams, Todd McKeahan & Conway LeBleu: Died February 28, 1993 by gunfire at Waco. All four were examined by a pathologist and died from identical wounds to the left temple. All four had been body guards for Bill Clinton, three while campaigning for President and when he was Governor of Arkansas.They also were the ONLY 4 BATF agents killed at Waco. ]

Here’s some real, complicit cover-up / fraud on the part of the federal government, et als:

October 15, 2010 (*see infra {ultimately delivered by UPS})

Steven M. Martinez, Assistant Director In Charge
Federal Bureau of Investigation, USDOJ
11000 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 1700

Los Angeles, CA 90024

Dear Sir:

A judgment had been entered in my favor in the case, United States District Court Case #3:93cv02065(AWT)(USDCJ Alvin Thompson), worth approximately now in excess of $300,000 remains unaccounted for and which could be used for payment to creditors, Los Angeles, etc..
Counsel Robert Sullivan on my behalf documented by way of certification upon investigation that Alan Shiff, USBCJ, had falsely stated a dismissal upon which false statement he predicated a retaliatory and spurious contempt proceeding against me causing substantial damage, and for which he sought Judicial Notice of those and related proceedings as did I in some of my filings.
The Order of Dismissal With Prejudice by Alan Shiff, USBCJ, owing to Defendant Coan’s failure to file anything whatsoever by the court’s deadline causing creditors and me substantial damages: [ Shiff Order of Dismissal With Prejudice on Coan’s Failure to File Page 1 Page 2 ]
Defendant Coan had filed an action against me to prevent me from suing him which necessitated me to fly to Connecticut for a hearing before The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District of Connecticut, who denied Coan’s requested relief as to Coan but precluded my action against Shiff (although there is no immunity, judicial or otherwise, for criminal acts, ie., fraud connected with a case under Title 11, USC, etc.) . [ transcript in pertinent part - crossexamofcoanbypeia.pdf ]
Newly appointed judge, Maryanne Trump Barry, Donald Trump’s sister, was assigned the RICO case despite the conflict of interest in light of hundreds of thousands of dollars of illegal (drug) money being laundered through the Trump casinos by the RICO defendants, and despite my motion to recuse her which motion she heard herself and denied, and U.S. Trustee Hugh Leonard with whom I met personally refused to join or file a separate motion to recuse and not long thereafter left said office for private practice at Cole, Shotz, et als on retainer with the RICO defendants as his primary client.

Probative and evidentiary documents, affidavits, exhibits, including those turned over to FBI Agent Jeff Hayes in Long Beach, CA, had been given to Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan Lacey with whom I met personally at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Newark, N.J., at which time Samuel Alito was U.S. Attorney, and went over said documents and their probative value with him. Within approximately a month thereafter upon inquiry I was told that Jonathon Lacey was no longer with the office, that the file/documents could not be located, and that there was no further information available concerning contacting him or his location. I thereupon delivered by hand, copies of said documents to the office of then U.S. Attorney Alito, addressed to him, with assurance they would go directly to him. In addition to being inept [ I looked in on the one mob case he had brought, bungled, lost (accidently on purpose?) since I was suing some mob-connected under RICO and the court (I had known / previously met outside of court the judge Ackerman through a client) was absolute bedlam and a total joke since incompetent corrupt Alito brought in all 20 mob defendants (rather than prosecute one or a few to flip them first) who feigning illness had beds/cots in the courtroom along with their moans during testimony and had the jury in stitches. As much as I hate the mob, it truly was funny, if not so tragic.], Alito is also corrupt (and maybe corrupt because he is inept). After a reasonable (but still rather short) time I called to determine the status and was told that Alito was no longer with the Office of the U.S. Attorney, that he was (appointed) a federal judge, and that neither the documents nor any file or record of same could be located. Alito did parley the same / cover-up into quid pro quo direct lifetime appointment to the Court of Appeals, 3^rd circuit, despite the absence of judicial experience or successful tenure as U.S. Attorney (Maryanne Trump Barry as well). This is the same Sam Alito that now sits on the purported highest court in the land. The real application of the illegal rule ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’.

3 Reasons Markets Rallied After the Big Sell-Off Wall St Cheat Sheet August 9, 2011, Markets closed up on Wall Street today: Dow +4.01% , S&P +4.77% , Nasdaq +5.32% , Oil -0.92% , Gold +0.87% .

On the commodities front, Oil fell to $80.56 a barrel, while precious metals were mixed, with Gold continuing its climb, reaching $1,728.10 an ounce and Silver falling 5.76% to $37.11 an ounce.

Today’s markets were up because:

1) Fed. While many stocks were making up for Monday’s losses at a frenzied pace, the Federal Reserve’s announcement this afternoon that it will likely keep interest rates at record lows through mid-2013, citing weak economic growth as well as more temporary factors, like the Japan crisis and high oil prices, temporarily reversed the upward trend. While the news means investors have another year more than previously expected to take advantage of near-zero interest rates, stocks began to fall off after the announcement, maybe because investors were hoping the Fed would do more — QE3 anyone? — or maybe the Fed’s decision to extend low borrowing costs for two more years renewed fears about the economy’s non-recovery. Either way, markets continued to rally after yesterday’s mass sell-off left many valuable stocks ripe for the picking.

2) Oversold. Today’s market gains don’t necessarily represent increased confidence in the market, but rather confidence in individual stocks, many of which became oversold in the last few weeks as fearful investors fled. The S&P 500 was more technically oversold than it has been in the last 10 years, with its 14-day relative strength index down to 16.5%. Anything below 20% generally attracts buyers. The perfect example is Exxon Mobil . Apple’s market capitalization actually rose above Exxon’s today, despite the fact that Exxon’s annual revenue is four times that of Apple. Though oil prices have been sinking lately, the stock still remains highly profitable for investors. After falling 7.97% in the last five days of trading, XOM shares reversed this afternoon, climbing 2.07%.

3) Banks. With Citigroup and Bank of America leading the way, financials rallied today after Monday’s huge sell-off. The financial sector went from being the worst performing of all 10 sectors on the S&P 500 Monday, to the best performer today. While the Fed’s announcement in the early afternoon caused a slight hiccup in otherwise solid sector growth, financial stocks quickly recovered, climbing higher still. After markets closed on Monday, Standard & Poor’s assured investors that it had no plans to downgrade the banking sector, and in fact, expects higher earnings, improved asset quality and capital in the third quarter…’

It was stocks that fell. The financial press is blaming the stock market decline on the bond downgrade. However, stocks are falling because the economy is falling. Too many jobs have been moved offshore. Interest rates could fall further as investors flee into Treasuries from the euro because of sovereign debt worries, flee equity markets as they continue to tumble, and as large banks charge depositors for holding their cash. Indeed, the latter policy could be seen as an effort to drive people with large cash holdings out of cash into government bonds. Japan has a lower credit rating than the US and has even lower interest rates. More hard knocks are on their way. As the economy weakens and the economic outlook darkens, new deficit projections will elevate the debt issue…’

I truly empathize with the ATF in terms of government cover-ups, notably by even the DOJ.

All four had been body guards for Bill Clinton, three while campaigning for President and when he was Governor of Arkansas.They also were the ONLY 4 BATF agents killed at Waco. ]

October 15, 2010 (*see infra {ultimately delivered by UPS})

Steven M. Martinez, Assistant Director In Charge
Federal Bureau of Investigation, USDOJ
11000 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 1700

Los Angeles, CA 90024

Dear Sir:

A judgment had been entered in my favor in the case, United States District Court Case #3:93cv02065(AWT)(USDCJ Alvin Thompson), worth approximately now in excess of $300,000 remains unaccounted for and which could be used for payment to creditors, Los Angeles, etc..
Counsel Robert Sullivan on my behalf documented by way of certification upon investigation that Alan Shiff, USBCJ, had falsely stated a dismissal upon which false statement he predicated a retaliatory and spurious contempt proceeding against me causing substantial damage, and for which he sought Judicial Notice of those and related proceedings as did I in some of my filings.
The Order of Dismissal With Prejudice by Alan Shiff, USBCJ, owing to Defendant Coan’s failure to file anything whatsoever by the court’s deadline causing creditors and me substantial damages: [ Shiff Order of Dismissal With Prejudice on Coan’s Failure to File Page 1 Page 2 ]
Defendant Coan had filed an action against me to prevent me from suing him which necessitated me to fly to Connecticut for a hearing before The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District of Connecticut, who denied Coan’s requested relief as to Coan but precluded my action against Shiff (although there is no immunity, judicial or otherwise, for criminal acts, ie., fraud connected with a case under Title 11, USC, etc.) . [ transcript in pertinent part - crossexamofcoanbypeia.pdf ]
Newly appointed judge, Maryanne Trump Barry, Donald Trump’s sister, was assigned the RICO case despite the conflict of interest in light of hundreds of thousands of dollars of illegal (drug) money being laundered through the Trump casinos by the RICO defendants, and despite my motion to recuse her which motion she heard herself and denied, and U.S. Trustee Hugh Leonard with whom I met personally refused to join or file a separate motion to recuse and not long thereafter left said office for private practice at Cole, Shotz, et als on retainer with the RICO defendants as his primary client.

Probative and evidentiary documents, affidavits, exhibits, including those turned over to FBI Agent Jeff Hayes in Long Beach, CA, had been given to Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan Lacey with whom I met personally at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Newark, N.J., at which time Samuel Alito was U.S. Attorney, and went over said documents and their probative value with him. Within approximately a month thereafter upon inquiry I was told that Jonathon Lacey was no longer with the office, that the file/documents could not be located, and that there was no further information available concerning contacting him or his location. I thereupon delivered by hand, copies of said documents to the office of then U.S. Attorney Alito, addressed to him, with assurance they would go directly to him. In addition to being inept [ I looked in on the one mob case he had brought, bungled, lost (accidently on purpose?) since I was suing some mob-connected under RICO and the court (I had known / previously met outside of court the judge Ackerman through a client) was absolute bedlam and a total joke since incompetent corrupt Alito brought in all 20 mob defendants (rather than prosecute one or a few to flip them first) who feigning illness had beds/cots in the courtroom along with their moans during testimony and had the jury in stitches. As much as I hate the mob, it truly was funny, if not so tragic.], Alito is also corrupt (and maybe corrupt because he is inept). After a reasonable (but still rather short) time I called to determine the status and was told that Alito was no longer with the Office of the U.S. Attorney, that he was (appointed) a federal judge, and that neither the documents nor any file or record of same could be located. Alito did parley the same / cover-up into quid pro quo direct lifetime appointment to the Court of Appeals, 3^rd circuit, despite the absence of judicial experience or successful tenure as U.S. Attorney (Maryanne Trump Barry as well). This is the same Sam Alito that now sits on the purported highest court in the land. The real application of the illegal rule ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’.

#3) CBO said today that LESS than 2% of the decrease in the GROWTH of spending will come before the 2012 elections. The remainder come after the election.

#4) Defense and war machine spending will grow at 3% per year instead of 4% per year.

#5) This was nothing but an agreement to agree at a later date to look for reductions in planned spending GROWTH.

#6) A Super Congress will decide on a mix of tax increases and reductions in planned spending growth to meet the targets at a later date.

#8.) CBO says under this plan, the national debt will INCREASE from $14.4 TRILLION currently to more than $25 TRILLION over the next 10 years.

50% unemployment, 90% stock market drop, 100% inflation. See the Evidence (Newsmax.com) ‘Robert Wiedemer’s new book, “Aftershock: Protect Yourself and Profit in the Next Global Financial Meltdown,” quickly is becoming the survival guide for the 21st century. And Newsmax’s eye-opening Aftershock Survival Summit video, with exclusive interviews and prophetic predictions, already has affected millions around the world — but not without ruffling a few feathers.

Initially screened for a private audience, this gripping video exposed harsh economic truths and garnered an overwhelming amount of feedback.

“People were sitting up and taking notice, and they begged us to make the video public so they could easily share it,” said Newsmax Financial Publisher Aaron DeHoog.

But that wasn’t as simple as it seems. Various online networks repeatedly shut down the controversial video. “People were sending their friends and family to dead links, so we had to create a dedicated home for it,” DeHoog said.

(Editor's Note: Watch Bob Wiedemer’s Aftershock Survival Summit video)

This wasn’t the first time Wiedemer’s predictions hit a nerve. In 2006, he was one of three economists who co-authored a book correctly warning that the real estate boom and Wall Street bull run were about to end. A prediction Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and his predecessor, Alan Greenspan, were not about to support publicly.

Realizing that the worst was yet to come, Wiedemer and company quickly penned “Aftershock.” However, just before it was publicly released, the publisher yanked the final chapter, deeming it too controversial for newsstand and online outlets such as Amazon.com.

“We got lucky,” DeHoog said. “I happened to read the original version, which contained this ‘unpublished chapter,’ which I think is the most crucial in the entire book. Wiedemer gave Newsmax permission to share this chapter with our readers.”

With daily economic forecasts projecting doom and gloom and no recovery in sight, people need to learn how to survive economic disaster. During the past quarter alone, unemployment skyrocketed to 9 percent. Inflation continues to soar and the U.S. national debt crisis is still on the fence between raising the debt ceiling or massive budget cuts, with no resolution in sight.

During Newsmax’s Aftershock Survival Summit video, Wiedemer discusses the dire consequences of Washington, D.C.’s, bipartisan, multi-decade “borrow-and-spend” agenda. He also explores the inflation nightmare, the impending plunge in home prices, the looming collapse of the stock and bond markets, a possible historic surge in unemployment, and how to survive what life in America will be like in the days of the “Aftershock.”

Despite appearances, Aftershock is not a book with the singular intention of scaring the heck out of people. Although it does provide a harsh outlook for the economic future of America, the true value lies in the wealth of investment tips, analyses, predictions, budget advice, and sound economic guidance that people can act on immediately, offering a ray of recovery hope and an indispensable blueprint for life after shock…’

Is the Worst Over or Just Beginning? ETFguide Simon Maierhofer, August 8, 2011,

The last 12 trading days have erased more than one year of gains. One can't help but think about September/October 2008 when the Dow Jones (DJI: ^DJI) lost nearly 4,000 points, the S&P (SNP: ^GSPC) 400 points, and the Nasdaq (Nasdaq: ^IXIC) 1000 points.

Over the past two weeks the Dow has lost 'only' 1,600 points. Does that mean the worst is over or is the worst still to come?

LONG-TERM OUTLOOK

A number of bearish events happened last week:

1) The Dow Jones broke through a trend line that has provided support on four occasions since the March 2009 low (see chart below).

2) Dow Theory registered a bearish non-confirmation when the transports hit a new high on July 7, while the Industrial Average was unable to beat its May 2 high.

3) The S&P broke below the neckline of a bearish head and shoulders formation.

https://www.etfguide.com//contributor/UserFiles/8/Image/aaa%20dj%208%208%2011.gif

In addition to the above, the S&P has been laboring on a multi-decade bearish M-pattern. The upper trend line of this bearish M pattern sliced through 1,377 in April. Important Fibonacci resistance was at 1,369.

This M pattern looked so esthetically pleasing (if you can use that term in connection with technical analysis) that the ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter stated on March 6: 'A major market top in the 1,369 - 1,382 range would certainly create a technical picture for the history books.'

On April 3, the Newsletter confirmed this outlook: 'In terms of resistance levels, the 1,369 - 1,382 range is a strong candidate for a reversal of potentially historic proportions.'

The ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter for August (released on July 15) provided more insight about the market's post-peak performance: 'The next bigger profit opportunity will be to the down side. A close below this year's low at 1,249 would probably mean that a major market top has been reached and should minimally lead to 1,229 or 1,170.'

The deterioration in U.S. markets along with emerging markets (NYSEArca: EFA - News) and (NYSEArca: EEM - News), wasn't just a fluke technical constellation. It was a man made (with 'man' I mean Fed) disaster.

Also on July 15, the Newsletter explained that: 'the Fed fueled a QE bubble to combat the damage left behind by the previous bubbles. Once punctured, bubbles tend to deflate quickly. We still anticipate a decline towards x,xxx (reserved for subscribers) starting in 2011-2012.

SHORT-TERM OUTLOOK

Those who don't learn from history are destined to repeat it. I'm not a big fan of cliches, but investors do well not to ignore certain historic patterns.

It's said that the difference between a smart and a wise person is simply how they learn: A smart person learns from his own mistakes. A wise person learns from the mistakes of others. Who does not want to be wise and learn from history?

The July 16 ETF Profit Strategy update featured a chart of the 2007 market top and stated: 'There is a striking similarity between the 2007 top and now. There is a similar trend line and a triple top above the trend line. A break below that trend line could be a precursor of bad things. Next week the trend line will be at about 1,262.'

As expected the S&P stair-stepped lower to 1,262 and fell apart as soon as it dropped below 1,262. We all know that history may not repeat itself, but it often rhymes.

Courtesy of the 2007/2008 decline we now have a script. Let's see how much lip the actors will add during the live performance (I.e. the downgrade of U.S. debt by Standard & Poor's).

As per the script we can expect a low that dips beneath last week's low, followed by an eventual rally that will test the trend line that provided support previously.

DEALING WITH THE UNEXPECTED

Will there be QE3? If so, how will QE3 affect stocks? We don't know. What we do know is that the world's industrial powers are already hoping that Europe's central bank will engage in aggressive bond buying (Europe's version of QE3).

What we also know is that every bounce in the stock market is now considered a dead cat bounce unless it carries above major resistance.

SHOULD YOU RUSH INTO GOLD

Gold (NYSEArca: GLD - News) has just spiked above a trend line that goes back as far as 2006. Gold (NYSEArca: IAU - News) is at a new all-time high, so aside from this trend line there was no overhead resistance.

However, gold is stretched and is susceptible to a potentially powerful decline. Such a decline could be triggered by a drop below the trend line. In fact, that's exactly what happened at the end of April. It's always smart to have some exposure to precious metals, but it's also prudent to have a plan B if things go sour.

SUMMARY

Most investors should be in cash now. The ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter recommended squaring all long positions at S&P 1,340 on July 7. If you haven't had a chance to get out in time, the situation is a bit trickier…’

JP Morgan Joins Goldman Sachs In Upping Gold Forecasts Aug 8th, 2011 12:54 by News (The Wall Street Journal) — JP Morgan (JPM) has become the latest bank to up its forecast for spot gold prices, hiking its estimates by a whopping 39% and predicting the precious metal to reach at least $2,500 a troy ounce by the end of the year.

The Nixon Shock: How Nixon stopped backing the dollar with gold and changed global finance Aug 8th, 2011 12:45 by News (BusinessWeek) —

‘ “Inauguration Day was cloudy, grim,” wrote Arthur Burns in his diary on Jan. 20, 1969. As he watched President-elect Richard Nixon, Burns—an immigrant from Galicia, the son of a housepainter who had risen to become the foremost expert on U.S. economic cycles and chief economist to Dwight Eisenhower—saw a man with “a look of exaltation about him.” It was not a feeling Burns shared. “I would have felt better if his head were bowed and his body trembled some.”

…By the time Nixon took office, officials knew they were sitting on a powder keg.

…First, America would stop converting dollars to gold. Second, to combat the potential inflationary effects, wages and prices would be frozen for 90 days. And third, the U.S. would impose an import surcharge of 10 percent. Connally’s idea was to use the surcharge as a cudgel, to pressure other countries to renegotiate their exchange rates.

…Connally brilliantly packaged the program not as America abandoning its commitment to the gold standard but as America taking charge. He turned the dollar’s collapse, which could have appeared shameful, into a moment of hubris. [source]

PG View: This article provides important historical context, as arguably it was the “hubris” of ending the dollar’s convertibility to gold that ultimately led to Friday’s downgrade of US sovereign debt. ’

For first time, U.S. credit rating cut from AAA Standard & Poor’s announces that it has downgraded U.S. government debt to AA+, dealing a huge symbolic blow to the world’s economic superpower in what was a sharply worded critique of the American political system. (Washington Post) [ Come on! Let’s get real here! Symbolic? If it were only that. If it were only the american political system, there’d at least be a plausible reason for hope, albeit futile even at that. Indeed, pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt america, literally causing destruction domestically and internationally, is a testament to the failure of the american system generally, or more specifically what it has devolved into. Whatever america was and purports to be, it certainly doesn’t take a PhD in Poli Sci to know, ‘it ain’t that no more’. Moreover, the ‘genie’s out of the bottle’ and try as they may, like ‘trying to put toothpaste back in the tube’, or ‘unringing the bell’, perceptions of america will never be the same in the most negative but realistic and factual sense; that is, beyond the propaganda, efforts at censorship, and spin. Those ‘propaganda dogs don’t hunt no more.’ I can further say that in america, by close observation and direct experience (with more than sufficient representative sampling), I’ve seen and experienced the worst of human nature; behavior so egregious so as to defy any known norms of civilized behavior. Quite simply, there is no excuse for america! Deficits And Stimulus Only Delay The Inevitable Collapse Bob Chapman | America is insolvent and has been so for a long time.

(WP) [ Ah, yes. The Puritans. Of noble purpose, religious freedom, freedom generally did they come to these shores. A rare exception to the influx of immigrants to this young nation who turned out to be more a virus to the indigenous peoples of this land than what could have been expected from those of noble calling. Indeed, in evolutionary terms, it’s doubtful that those so positioned abroad would have represented a positive addition to the gene pool which, borrowing from an insurance term, viz., adverse selection, springs forth the notion of inevitability to the genocide of the indigenous populations while guaranteeing the decline we see throughout this foundering nation. The effects of these negative predispositions toward inherent criminality is certainly being felt globally as well as domestically and has little to recommend it. My own direct experience with the region(s) (particularly new jersey, new york, virginia, connecticut, california) carves out no exception for the prevalence of the worst of human nature; which is now collectively and pervasively americana.

Currently, the GDP deflator is 1.8%, which hardly reflects the true rise in prices. Therefore, what is counted as “growth,” is actually price increases. Actual inflation, according to free market economists who calculate inflation as it was done in 1980 before the politician re-engineered it, is now more than 11%. Using that to adjust GDP for inflation, would show that the economy is now in a very sharp contraction…’FLASHBACK HERE: Selling In May Is Very Good Advice This Year Harding Remember: Sell in May and Go Away and If You’ve Not Sold by June, You’re a Loon! ‘ ‘Albert Edwards: Thinks the Market Could Fall 70%’ [ He’s not alone!

I kind of like the term ‘great contraction’ as opposed to ‘potential double-dip’, ‘weak recovery’, or other obfuscating, disingenuous, or outright fraudulent terminology, etc., inasmuch as it at least implies an ongoing economic decline that I believe is more properly classified as a great depression masked by a self-destructive, insurmountable debt incurrance that now has gone beyond the ‘point of no return’ and is now a problem so enormous so as to be unsolvable of itself. Even assuming, arguendo, the dual recession scenario, I like Burt Dohmen’s (courtesy of Forbes) analysis pointing to price increases and the use of an artificially low inflation numbers (as deflators) by the government to account for the ‘weak’ (spurious) recovery which in real terms was a sharp contraction. { Faisal Humayun, infra, also points to similar artifice when measuring stock market gains against hard assets, ie., precious metals, viz., gold which reveals the market, ie., DOW, has crashed 78% over a 10 year period. } The frauds on wall street et als should be criminally prosecuted, jailed, fined, and disgorgement imposed!

Steven M. Martinez, Assistant Director In Charge
Federal Bureau of Investigation, USDOJ
11000 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 1700

Los Angeles, CA 90024

Dear Sir:

A judgment had been entered in my favor in the case, United States District Court Case #3:93cv02065(AWT)(USDCJ Alvin Thompson), worth approximately now in excess of $300,000 remains unaccounted for and which could be used for payment to creditors, Los Angeles, etc..
Counsel Robert Sullivan on my behalf documented by way of certification upon investigation that Alan Shiff, USBCJ, had falsely stated a dismissal upon which false statement he predicated a retaliatory and spurious contempt proceeding against me causing substantial damage, and for which he sought Judicial Notice of those and related proceedings as did I in some of my filings.
The Order of Dismissal With Prejudice by Alan Shiff, USBCJ, owing to Defendant Coan’s failure to file anything whatsoever by the court’s deadline causing creditors and me substantial damages: [ Shiff Order of Dismissal With Prejudice on Coan’s Failure to File Page 1 Page 2 ]
Defendant Coan had filed an action against me to prevent me from suing him which necessitated me to fly to Connecticut for a hearing before The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District of Connecticut, who denied Coan’s requested relief as to Coan but precluded my action against Shiff (although there is no immunity, judicial or otherwise, for criminal acts, ie., fraud connected with a case under Title 11, USC, etc.) . [ transcript in pertinent part - crossexamofcoanbypeia.pdf ]
Newly appointed judge, Maryanne Trump Barry, Donald Trump’s sister, was assigned the RICO case despite the conflict of interest in light of hundreds of thousands of dollars of illegal (drug) money being laundered through the Trump casinos by the RICO defendants, and despite my motion to recuse her which motion she heard herself and denied, and U.S. Trustee Hugh Leonard with whom I met personally refused to join or file a separate motion to recuse and not long thereafter left said office for private practice at Cole, Shotz, et als on retainer with the RICO defendants as his primary client.

Probative and evidentiary documents, affidavits, exhibits, including those turned over to FBI Agent Jeff Hayes in Long Beach, CA, had been given to Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan Lacey with whom I met personally at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Newark, N.J., at which time Samuel Alito was U.S. Attorney, and went over said documents and their probative value with him. Within approximately a month thereafter upon inquiry I was told that Jonathon Lacey was no longer with the office, that the file/documents could not be located, and that there was no further information available concerning contacting him or his location. I thereupon delivered by hand, copies of said documents to the office of then U.S. Attorney Alito, addressed to him, with assurance they would go directly to him. In addition to being inept [ I looked in on the one mob case he had brought, bungled, lost (accidently on purpose?) since I was suing some mob-connected under RICO and the court (I had known / previously met outside of court the judge Ackerman through a client) was absolute bedlam and a total joke since incompetent corrupt Alito brought in all 20 mob defendants (rather than prosecute one or a few to flip them first) who feigning illness had beds/cots in the courtroom along with their moans during testimony and had the jury in stitches.

After a reasonable (but still rather short) time I called to determine the status and was told that Alito was no longer with the Office of the U.S. Attorney, that he was (appointed) a federal judge, and that neither the documents nor any file or record of same could be located. Alito did parley the same / cover-up into quid pro quo direct lifetime appointment to the Court of Appeals, 3^rd circuit, despite the absence of judicial experience or successful tenure as U.S. Attorney (Maryanne Trump Barry as well).

S&P Shocks the U.S. with Credit Downgrade to AA+ from Prestigious AAA Rating Wall St. Cheat Sheet August 5, 2011,

‘Standard & Poor’s is out with an official downgrade of the U.S. credit rating:

• We have lowered our long-term sovereign credit rating on the United States of America to ‘AA+’ from ‘AAA’ and affirmed the ‘A-1+’ short-term rating.

Raising The Debt Ceiling May Throw A Wrench Into The Presidential Cycle For Stocks Forbes

Top 3 Reasons Markets Didn’t Know What To Do Wall St. Cheat Sheet ‘Markets closed mixed on Wall Street today: Dow +0.53 , S&P -0.07% , Nasdaq -0.94% , Oil +0.51% , Gold +0.22% .

On the commodities front, Oil climbed to $87.07. Precious metals were mixed, with Gold climbing to $1,662.70 an ounce and Silver down 2.83% to $38.32 an ounce.

Don’t Miss: How Does Yesterday’s Stock Market Crash Compare to the Worst Crashes in History?

Today’s markets were mixed because:

1) Jobs report. This morning’s Labor Department report showed the U.S. economy adding 117,000 jobs in July, well above projections of 75,000 and enough to push down the unemployment rate from 9.2% to 9.1%. The report follows yesterday’s news that initial unemployment claims in the last week of July fell to 400,000, continuing a downward trend. However, the news proved unable to prop up the markets, which quickly began to sell-off.

2 ) Italy. The euro gained on news that Italy will speed up its fiscal reform consolidation program, which will include a balanced budget rule, and the Dow followed, rising as high as 1.01% in a mid-day rally. Furthermore, the European Central Bank agreed to buy Italian debt if the country’s government could expedite the institution of its reform program, and reports have the ECB potentially buying Spanish bonds as well. The news takes a lot of pressure off the two largest at-risk economies in the euro zone.

3) Uncertainty. It certainly has been a volatile day of trading, with markets starting high, falling quickly, then reversing a few more times to end the day relatively flat. With big earners like Kraft and Procter & Gamble propping up the Dow while financials like Bank of America and JPMorgan pulled back, the markets continually flip-flopped faster than you can say ‘recession’. It was as if investors were uncertain as to how to interpret the day’s economic news, or maybe it was just that they began focusing on the individual merits of different stocks rather than the broader economic data that so often turns out to be misleading.

It’s time to brace for the pain Steven Pearlstein (Washington Post) [ Oooooh! Sounds like a plan! At least a viable plan, at this point. See … it’s never too late for one, as Mr. Pearlstein, to become a boyscout! ‘Be prepared!’ Yes, pain there will be; and plenty of it. Even tiny tim has warned us of same:`IT'S GOING TO HURT 'FOR LONG TIME TO COME' { Says tiny tim geithner … thanks for the heads up tiny tim ‘God bless us everyone’! … As if we didn’t already know it / feel it, thanks in part to his, wobama’s, et als’ policies! }` ‘Virtuous cycle …’; well, I wouldn’t have put it quite that way, but I know what he meant. But sticking with virtue, it does, as is oft the subject on which Mr. Pearlstein writes, come down to leadership. The last real american leader / president was the underrated but great President General Eisenhower who warned of the current debacle called america in the sense of admonishing of the danger inherent to the now entrenched ‘military industrio-inferiority complex’. Indeed, though making cogs in the war machine very wealthy, the nation has grown substantially poorer while frittering away resources in the perma wars engendered thereby. The difference is that with the likes of an Eisenhower, you’d never have to guess whose side he was on. Honor is something that he knew and understood which would preclude betrayal of his oath and office. More recently, Ross Perot, who also understood the meaning of the word ‘honor’ was laughed at for accurately predicting the NAFTA, etc., debacle as jobs have gone, never to return, despite rhetoric to the contrary. That bell cannot be ‘unrung’, as is true of any betrayal and the consequences thereof. We’re not talking about perfection in this far less than perfect world; but rather, what is optimal.

All four had been body guards for Bill Clinton, three while campaigning for President and when he was Governor of Arkansas.They also were the ONLY 4 BATF agents killed at Waco. ]

Here’s some real, complicit cover-up / fraud on the part of the federal government, et als:

October 15, 2010 (*see infra {ultimately delivered by UPS})

Steven M. Martinez, Assistant Director In Charge
Federal Bureau of Investigation, USDOJ
11000 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 1700

Los Angeles, CA 90024

Dear Sir:

A judgment had been entered in my favor in the case, United States District Court Case #3:93cv02065(AWT)(USDCJ Alvin Thompson), worth approximately now in excess of $300,000 remains unaccounted for and which could be used for payment to creditors, Los Angeles, etc..
Counsel Robert Sullivan on my behalf documented by way of certification upon investigation that Alan Shiff, USBCJ, had falsely stated a dismissal upon which false statement he predicated a retaliatory and spurious contempt proceeding against me causing substantial damage, and for which he sought Judicial Notice of those and related proceedings as did I in some of my filings.
The Order of Dismissal With Prejudice by Alan Shiff, USBCJ, owing to Defendant Coan’s failure to file anything whatsoever by the court’s deadline causing creditors and me substantial damages: [ Shiff Order of Dismissal With Prejudice on Coan’s Failure to File Page 1 Page 2 ]
Defendant Coan had filed an action against me to prevent me from suing him which necessitated me to fly to Connecticut for a hearing before The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District of Connecticut, who denied Coan’s requested relief as to Coan but precluded my action against Shiff (although there is no immunity, judicial or otherwise, for criminal acts, ie., fraud connected with a case under Title 11, USC, etc.) . [ transcript in pertinent part - crossexamofcoanbypeia.pdf ]
Newly appointed judge, Maryanne Trump Barry, Donald Trump’s sister, was assigned the RICO case despite the conflict of interest in light of hundreds of thousands of dollars of illegal (drug) money being laundered through the Trump casinos by the RICO defendants, and despite my motion to recuse her which motion she heard herself and denied, and U.S. Trustee Hugh Leonard with whom I met personally refused to join or file a separate motion to recuse and not long thereafter left said office for private practice at Cole, Shotz, et als on retainer with the RICO defendants as his primary client.

Probative and evidentiary documents, affidavits, exhibits, including those turned over to FBI Agent Jeff Hayes in Long Beach, CA, had been given to Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan Lacey with whom I met personally at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Newark, N.J., at which time Samuel Alito was U.S. Attorney, and went over said documents and their probative value with him. Within approximately a month thereafter upon inquiry I was told that Jonathon Lacey was no longer with the office, that the file/documents could not be located, and that there was no further information available concerning contacting him or his location. I thereupon delivered by hand, copies of said documents to the office of then U.S. Attorney Alito, addressed to him, with assurance they would go directly to him. In addition to being inept [ I looked in on the one mob case he had brought, bungled, lost (accidently on purpose?) since I was suing some mob-connected under RICO and the court (I had known / previously met outside of court the judge Ackerman through a client) was absolute bedlam and a total joke since incompetent corrupt Alito brought in all 20 mob defendants (rather than prosecute one or a few to flip them first) who feigning illness had beds/cots in the courtroom along with their moans during testimony and had the jury in stitches. As much as I hate the mob, it truly was funny, if not so tragic.], Alito is also corrupt (and maybe corrupt because he is inept). After a reasonable (but still rather short) time I called to determine the status and was told that Alito was no longer with the Office of the U.S. Attorney, that he was (appointed) a federal judge, and that neither the documents nor any file or record of same could be located. Alito did parley the same / cover-up into quid pro quo direct lifetime appointment to the Court of Appeals, 3^rd circuit, despite the absence of judicial experience or successful tenure as U.S. Attorney (Maryanne Trump Barry as well). This is the same Sam Alito that now sits on the purported highest court in the land. The real application of the illegal rule ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’.

Panetta warns against defense cuts Defense secretary sees dire consequences if the Pentagon has to make cuts beyond $400B in savings planned. (Washington Post) [ What? Panetta worry? Heck no! AKA ‘the pinyata’, panetta’s from the second-worst managed state in the nation (California The Worst Run State in America? Not California 24/7 Wall Street Study {California’s #2} Oct. 8 2010 ‘Kentucky is worst run state in the nation) and works for the pervasively corrupt, defact bankrupt american government.

Well, such is not original in pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt america, and Washington particularly; it’s happening all the time, even as we speak / write this very moment.

Enloe and Seager joined The Daily Ticker's Aaron Task to share three of the most surprising misconceptions they uncovered.

#1 Land of Homeowners

#2 Land of Opportunity

Just like the ideal of owning a home, opportunity in this country is now also on the brink.

The cost of a college education continues to rise year after year.

The unemployment rate remains high at 9.2%, but it doesn't factor in the millions of "underemployed" workers -- those who are currently working part-time but would like full-time work -- and discouraged workers who have tired of looking for a job and have just dropped out of the job market.

#3 Land of Givers

While the U.S. does give more money in foreign aid than any other country in the world, as a percentage of GDP it falls way behind many other nations.

Whereas Sweden gives almost 1% of its GDP in 2008, the U.S. gave 0.19%.

Euro-zone pinched by slow growth The headline debate is about sovereign debt. But Europe’s real crisis is why half a continent seems stuck in neutral. (Washington Post) [ Pinch? Yeah? Sounds like a plan … see if they’re alive and still breathin’…Yeah, wake ‘em up by all means from their somnambulant trance that has predisposed them to the destructive, mindless, self-destructive, self-defeating suggestions of their ‘svengali’, aka pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt, war crimes nation america. Sadly for them, so weak-minded are they, it took not much by way of prodding to get them to do and go along with the wrong thing. In Europe, the debt crisis only intensifies Italy and Spain struggle to contain escalating panic over whether they can pay their bills. The trouble comes amid more signs that European economies are rapidly slowing (Washington Post) [ Wow! This is a tough one. Another mystery for the ages. Time to call in an expert to get to the bottom of this and explain what’s comin’ down. Sounds like a job for ….. Rosanne Rosanna Dana formerly of SNL fame and as her mama always used to say, which is also her hypothesis, ‘it’s always somethin’ … but unfortunately, that somethin’ is not necessarily what they say it is. Then there’s Simon Maierhofer who posits: ‘It seems like the European Union and U.S. government are stuck in a never ending game of Whac-A-Mole. It seems like more moles are popping up more quickly, needing more force to be subdued (ironically the moles come back just as the problems do) 3 Reasons Why This Summer Could Get Ugly Simon Maierhofer, July 29, 2011 … ’ Dem PIIGS still got problems. Europe’s debt crisis threatens Italy (Washington Post) [ Yeah, dem’ darn PIIGS. Reminds me of that joke (I won’t repeat it here except the punch line): ‘That’s black bart’s girl’. Pelosi: ‘We are not Greece’ ( but greecy Italy Italians voice concern over Italian debt crisis scenario (Washington Post) [ Whew! Close call! There you go. Nothing to worry about now that wobama’s got a boehner … so not to be so hard on them; if pelosi says it, it must be true … Not! …Pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt america, they, she look pretty greecey to me.

Deficits And Stimulus Only Delay The Inevitable Collapse Bob Chapman | America is insolvent and has been so for a long time. US Is in Even Worse Shape Financially Than Greece: Gross When adding in all of the money owed to cover future liabilities in entitlement programs the US is actually in worse financial shape than Greece and other debt-laden European countries, Pimco’s Bill Gross told CNBC Monday. Maierhofer: ‘USA INCOME STATEMENT:Total federal spending in 2010 amounted to $3.456 trillion. Total receipts added up to $2.162 trillion. USA Inc.'s 2010 deficit was $1.294 trillion.The 2011 federal budget is $3.7 trillion with a projected deficit of$1.6 trillion. …USA BALANCE SHEET: Consensus estimates for unfunded obligations vary. Mary Meeker pegs the shortfall at $31 trillion, PIMCO's Bill Gross estimates the unreported debt to be $75 trillion, while other estimates exceed $100 trillion (these amounts are insurmountable) …’ Moody's puts U.S. ratings on review for downgrade Davis ‘This is how we pay off our current debts and I think bondholders are simply happy to get anything out of a country that admits it owes $15Tn (1/4 of global GDP) but probably owes closer to $60Tn (entire global GDP) in the form of unfunded liabilities. The funniest thing about this (and you have to laugh) is to see Conservative pundits get on TV and talk about how we need to cut $100Bn worth of discretionary spending to "fix" this (while continuing to spend $1Tn on the military and $1Tn on tax cuts for the top 1% each year). There is no fixing this and even a Republican said you can’t fool all of the people all of the time. Afghanistan spending questioned Senators ask why the Pentagon is paying for projects usually funded through the State Dept. (Washington Post) [ If only the question concerned a concept foreign to and lost on the senate; viz., why is the nation spending money it doesn’t have on wars the nation doesn’t need. Well, unless one expects the pentagon / military-industrial-complex / cia to prostrate themselves before the senate and confess (don’t hold your breath), quite simply in large part the reason is that ultimately it’s much easier to steal when in control of the flow of the ‘dough’ (ie., flying in 360 tons of $100 bills gone missing, etc.).

The economy stabilizes into a crisis Ezra Klein The market is diving because of forces Washington can’t control. (Washington Post) [ Mr. Klein’s mind’s in the right place … but he’s just not quite there. Indeed, the market is falling. Such inevitably occurs when said market’s substantially over-priced, over-valued. Indeed, given the high levels of tax-payer funding by way of bailouts, QE’s, no prosecutions, etc., the computerized, programmed high-frequency churn-and-earn frauds, much like their ponzi cousins invariably come crashing down because they’re just not worth what they’ve been fraudulently said to be worth. The value’s just not there. But, falling because of forces Washington can’t control? Woe! What’s this? Washington’s now communism central? Truth be told, there are things that Washington could have done; but, despite their rhetoric, had neither the courage nor will to do so; viz., prosecutions of these huge frauds that have continued unabated. So what are these mysterious forces referenced by Mr. Klein? Basic economic and financial fundamentals which through proper analysis leads to a proper valuation of any asset, but particularly given the ubiquity of and predispositon toward fraud in america, paper assets, ie., stocks, bonds, derivatives, etc.? No. Not all in the government are without understanding of these ‘forces’; yet, a conscious decision for ‘going along to get along’ has been made at nearly all levels with disastrous results which we are seeing. Nothing short of criminal can be said to be the unsaid reason for the inevitable collapse. The value’s just not there, beyond the obfuscation, spin, lies, ‘short-end money’, etc..

I now see a similar confluence of events that warns of phase II of the global crisis… My work shows that “the new recession has started.”… Over the past 33 years, we have called the start of every recession, often on the exact month, or within one month, of the official start as determined one year later by the official arbiter of recession, the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER)… However, inflation is far understated for political reasons. Currently, the GDP deflator is 1.8%, which hardly reflects the true rise in prices. Therefore, what is counted as “growth,” is actually price increases. Actual inflation, according to free market economists who calculate inflation as it was done in 1980 before the politician re-engineered it, is now more than 11%. Using that to adjust GDP for inflation, would show that the economy is now in a very sharp contraction…’FLASHBACK HERE: Selling In May Is Very Good Advice This Year Harding Remember: Sell in May and Go Away and If You’ve Not Sold by June, You’re a Loon! ‘ ‘Albert Edwards: Thinks the Market Could Fall 70%’ [ He’s not alone!

Top 3 Reasons Markets Erased the Year’s Gains Wall St. Cheat Sheet ‘August 4, 2011, 5:27 pm EDT Markets closed down on Wall Street today: Dow -4.31%, S&P -4.79% , Nasdaq -5.07% , Oil -5.95% , Gold -0.80% .

On the commodities front, Oil fell to $86.46. Precious metals also fell, with Gold down slightly to $1,653.00 an ounce and Silver down 7.18% to $38.76 an ounce.

Don’t Miss: Mortgage Rates Crash to Record Lows

Today’s markets were down because:

1) Japan and Europe . Both Japan and Switzerland made moves to tame their skyrocketing currencies, which devalued the safe-havens against a host of other currencies, including the U.S. dollar. Then the European Central Bank decided to re-enter the bond market and started buying up bonds, but not the Spanish and Italian bonds that are at the center of the current sovereign debt crisis. Investors became acutely aware today that, while the U.S. sovereign debt crisis is over, it’s still very real in Europe. Furthermore, many once-thriving economies like Japan are now in the depths of a recession. Even Chinese markets closed down Thursday.

2 ) Unemployment. Initial jobless claims last week fell slightly to 400,000, but have been unable to break lower in 17 consecutive weeks. For the unemployment rate to decrease and the country to enjoy sustainable job growth, initial jobless claims need to stay below 400,000 for a significant amount of time. The slowing improvement in the job market has Americans worried about the state of the economy, and now with the debt deal, unemployment benefits could be at risk. Americans are still awaiting Friday’s official jobs report to see how many jobs the economy created last month, and most accounts have the rate of growth just enough to keep the unemployment rate steady at 9.2%, but the report could disappoint and push the unemployment rate still higher.

3) Capital goods. With the Pentagon facing huge budget cuts in 2012, the part of the capital goods sector catering to high profile defense contracts could be looking at billions of dollars in lost revenue. All of the major aerospace and defense stocks have been falling off today, including Honeywell , Boeing , Lockheed Martin , and United Technologies Corp. .

Recession Almost Certain, Money Manager Says - Henry Blodget

Why You Shouldn't Buy Into This Plunge at Forbes ‘The market is building momentum to the downside’ William Scott O'Neil ‘Since the Dow dropped more than 500 points Thursday the next round of commentary will probably be that today is a “Capitulation” Day. That implies that the market has bottomed and that now is a good time to buy stocks. In my opinion, that’s completely wrong. The market is building momentum to the downside. It’s pretty hard to stop a train going 100 miles per hour.The market may have a reactionary bounce from here; after all, look at all those “great values.” But will it be meaningful and lasting? How often have investors started initiating positions and been burned just a few days later?A number of factors still have me doubtful that we will get a significant uptrend soon. This cycle started back in March of 2009, so we are late in the cycle. About 60 percent of the leaders since the beginning of the cycle are broken. The last dozen of the very best are pulling back into their 50 day moving averages…again.In fact, this reminds me of the kinds of stock chart patterns we were seeing in the first failed rally attempt during the summer last year. You usually don’t begin a real rally without at least decent looking patterns from numerous market leaders, not defensive stocks. Earnings and sponsorship look good, but those are lagging indicators that tend to look best at the top.Look at the last two earnings seasons and how weak the market reaction was to such strong numbers.Finally, I still believe it will be tough to gain traction without resolving the numerous domestic and international issues lingering over the market (“Is the Bull Market Topping?”). The odds are that the inevitable reactionary bounce is a short reprieve on the way further down.If the capitulation results in a new and meaningful uptrend (and that is a big “if”), we will see that in the charts. Sitting on the sidelines does not mean we will tune out and miss the next rally. That’s why we are always on the lookout for new rallies to begin, and we wait for confirmation on or after the fourth day of the start of a new rally. We are looking for the rally to prove itself. The idea is to give up the first few points as a confirmation of strength that the rally is real.If you are trying to pick a bottom here, take a look at past cycles and see how successful you’ve been at that game. A few may make it work but ask yourself, what you are trying to gain? A few points here and there? Or are you trying to build a portfolio of the best stocks that will result in a substantial year?’

Random Thoughts: Will the Market Retest the 2009 Lows? at Minyanville ‘It's not your fault, Will Hunting; it really is that tough out there.So says a trading pal whose been doing this for a long time. "I'm hearing that a few big funds are blowing up," he said, "which might be responsible for the end-of-day action of late." I wouldn't be surprised; when margins call and redemptions sing, they tend to do so for a lot longer than most folks expect. I said to him, as I wrote yesterday, that A) there is an upside "window" for a trade if S&P 1250 can remain underfoot (as it stands, all bets are off) and B) I conceivably foresee a retest of the March 2009 lows, although that may not happen (if it happens at all) until 2013. Therein lies "the path we take vs. the destination we arrive at" we often speak of. There are a multitude of ever-changing variables in play. That isn't a hedge, it's what is. That’s why I employ a stair-step approach to risk management. Everybody trips, the goal is not to fall. While that long-term scenario may or may not evolve, I'll say this so it's officially said -- if we get "there," I plan to close my eyes and buy everything in sight (in both my long- and short-term buckets). While you may be thinking, "Way to put it out there, sport; I'd buy everything too if it were trading at 50 cents on the dollar," I'll say with a high degree of certainty that it won't feel like an opportunity -- it will feel like the end of the world. I don't enjoy being bearish on the big picture. I feel like that annoying guy at the craps table who bets on the "no pass" line (yes, that's bad momo). And no, I don't talk about this much as folks will think I've fallen out of my tree (deja vu all over again!). With that said, all a man has is his name and his word, and I would be remiss if I wasn't forthright (which is a different conversation than being right).’

Enloe and Seager joined The Daily Ticker's Aaron Task to share three of the most surprising misconceptions they uncovered.

#1 Land of Homeowners

#2 Land of Opportunity

Just like the ideal of owning a home, opportunity in this country is now also on the brink.

The cost of a college education continues to rise year after year.

The unemployment rate remains high at 9.2%, but it doesn't factor in the millions of "underemployed" workers -- those who are currently working part-time but would like full-time work -- and discouraged workers who have tired of looking for a job and have just dropped out of the job market.

#3 Land of Givers

While the U.S. does give more money in foreign aid than any other country in the world, as a percentage of GDP it falls way behind many other nations.

Whereas Sweden gives almost 1% of its GDP in 2008, the U.S. gave 0.19%.

Dear Sir:

A judgment had been entered in my favor in the case, United States District Court Case #3:93cv02065(AWT)(USDCJ Alvin Thompson), worth approximately now in excess of $300,000 remains unaccounted for and which could be used for payment to creditors, Los Angeles, etc..
Counsel Robert Sullivan on my behalf documented by way of certification upon investigation that Alan Shiff, USBCJ, had falsely stated a dismissal upon which false statement he predicated a retaliatory and spurious contempt proceeding against me causing substantial damage, and for which he sought Judicial Notice of those and related proceedings as did I in some of my filings.
The Order of Dismissal With Prejudice by Alan Shiff, USBCJ, owing to Defendant Coan’s failure to file anything whatsoever by the court’s deadline causing creditors and me substantial damages: [ Shiff Order of Dismissal With Prejudice on Coan’s Failure to File Page 1 Page 2 ]
Defendant Coan had filed an action against me to prevent me from suing him which necessitated me to fly to Connecticut for a hearing before The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District of Connecticut, who denied Coan’s requested relief as to Coan but precluded my action against Shiff (although there is no immunity, judicial or otherwise, for criminal acts, ie., fraud connected with a case under Title 11, USC, etc.) . [ transcript in pertinent part - crossexamofcoanbypeia.pdf ]
Newly appointed judge, Maryanne Trump Barry, Donald Trump’s sister, was assigned the RICO case despite the conflict of interest in light of hundreds of thousands of dollars of illegal (drug) money being laundered through the Trump casinos by the RICO defendants, and despite my motion to recuse her which motion she heard herself and denied, and U.S. Trustee Hugh Leonard with whom I met personally refused to join or file a separate motion to recuse and not long thereafter left said office for private practice at Cole, Shotz, et als on retainer with the RICO defendants as his primary client.

Probative and evidentiary documents, affidavits, exhibits, including those turned over to FBI Agent Jeff Hayes in Long Beach, CA, had been given to Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan Lacey with whom I met personally at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Newark, N.J., at which time Samuel Alito was U.S. Attorney, and went over said documents and their probative value with him. Within approximately a month thereafter upon inquiry I was told that Jonathon Lacey was no longer with the office, that the file/documents could not be located, and that there was no further information available concerning contacting him or his location. I thereupon delivered by hand, copies of said documents to the office of then U.S. Attorney Alito, addressed to him, with assurance they would go directly to him. In addition to being inept [ I looked in on the one mob case he had brought, bungled, lost (accidently on purpose?) since I was suing some mob-connected under RICO and the court (I had known / previously met outside of court the judge Ackerman through a client) was absolute bedlam and a total joke since incompetent corrupt Alito brought in all 20 mob defendants (rather than prosecute one or a few to flip them first) who feigning illness had beds/cots in the courtroom along with their moans during testimony and had the jury in stitches. As much as I hate the mob, it truly was funny, if not so tragic.], Alito is also corrupt (and maybe corrupt because he is inept). After a reasonable (but still rather short) time I called to determine the status and was told that Alito was no longer with the Office of the U.S. Attorney, that he was (appointed) a federal judge, and that neither the documents nor any file or record of same could be located. Alito did parley the same / cover-up into quid pro quo direct lifetime appointment to the Court of Appeals, 3^rd circuit, despite the absence of judicial experience or successful tenure as U.S. Attorney (Maryanne Trump Barry as well). This is the same Sam Alito that now sits on the purported highest court in the land. The real application of the illegal rule ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’.

Top 3 Reasons Markets Rallied Despite Negative Economic Outlook Wall St. Cheat Sheet August 3, 2011, Markets closed up on Wall Street today: Dow +0.25% , S&P +0.59% , Nasdaq +0.81% , Oil -2.10% , Gold +1.22% .

On the commodities front, Oil fell to $91.82, while precious metals gained, with Gold up to $1,664.50 an ounce and Silver up 4.19% to $41.77 an ounce.

Don’t Miss: A Look At U.S. Economic Data Scaring Investors.

Today’s markets were up because:

1) Job cuts. Markets took a beating this morning after it was announced that planned job cuts in the U.S. climbed 59% year-over-year in July, and 60% over June’s figures. Projections have Friday’s Labor Department report on the state of job growth in the U.S. showing 85,000 more payrolls in June, a figure only good enough to maintain June’s 9.2% rate of unemployment. If the number reported Friday falls short of expectations, population growth may again exceed job growth, and the rate of unemployment could rise.

2 ) ISM service-sector report. Monday’s ISM manufacturing report contributed to market losses on Monday, but today’s report, though equally negative, didn’t quite have the same effect as markets began to level out this afternoon. The ISM service-sector index declined to 52.7% in July. The U.S. service sector accounts for three-fourths of all economic activity, and employs four out of every five U.S. workers , so a 0.5% decline speaks volumes about the state of economic recovery. However, ultimately the news seems to have had little effect on the already depressed markets, which began to rally in the afternoon to finish the day with gains.

3) Tech. All three major indices closed the day up, in large part thanks to tech stocks. Apple , Google , Intel , IBM , and Microsoft led tech gains today, with Intel one of the Dow’s best performers, helping push the index positive in the last hour of trading so that, despite a negative economic outlook, the markets finally got their day in the sun after the shadow of the debt ceiling finally passed…’

After crisis, attention turns to spending panel Bipartisan committee, tasked with developing a broader plan to control the government’s debt, is likely to confront the same ideological divide that caused an almost crippling impasse in the debt-limit debate. (Washington Post) [ Ah, riiiiight! The plan, for a plan, to make a plan, for a committee, to make a plan, for a plan to plan for a final plan of planning to plan to plan a plan’s plan of executing a plan’s plan of execution of the planned committee’s plan for planning a plan to plan a plan that’s planned for a post election plan to plan a plan. What planners pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt america has; you know the type; viz., boy scouts all and true to their motto, ‘be prepared’. And, prepared they are, to make a plan to be prepared to make a plan to plan a plan post election. What a grand plan to plan to kick the can post election is the plan, for the united plans of america, a new nation, conceived in corruption, greed, incompetence, and thievery, and dedicated to the proposition that almost all american citizens are created stupid and that you really can, with a plan to plan, fool most of the people into takin’ it in the can. Deficits And Stimulus Only Delay The Inevitable Collapse Bob Chapman | America is insolvent and has been so for a long time. Maierhofer: ‘USA INCOME STATEMENT:Total federal spending in 2010 amounted to $3.456 trillion. Total receipts added up to $2.162 trillion. USA Inc.'s 2010 deficit was $1.294 trillion.The 2011 federal budget is $3.7 trillion with a projected deficit of$1.6 trillion. …USA BALANCE SHEET: Consensus estimates for unfunded obligations vary. Mary Meeker pegs the shortfall at $31 trillion, PIMCO's Bill Gross estimates the unreported debt to be $75 trillion, while other estimates exceed $100 trillion (these amounts are insurmountable) …’ Davis ‘This is how we pay off our current debts and I think bondholders are simply happy to get anything out of a country that admits it owes $15Tn (1/4 of global GDP) but probably owes closer to $60Tn (entire global GDP) in the form of unfunded liabilities. The funniest thing about this (and you have to laugh) is to see Conservative pundits get on TV and talk about how we need to cut $100Bn worth of discretionary spending to "fix" this (while continuing to spend $1Tn on the military and $1Tn on tax cuts for the top 1% each year). There is no fixing this and even a Republican said you can’t fool all of the people all of the time.). IT'S GOING TO HURT 'FOR LONG TIME TO COME' [ Says tiny tim geithner … thanks for the heads up tiny tim ‘God bless us everyone’! … As if we didn’t already know it / feel it!Dave's Daily 'If you can keep interest rates this low this long, its inevitable cheap financing can allow companies to start cobbling each other up. Further Ben's policies allow companies like IBM to sell bonds at 1% and buy back shares with the proceeds (total paper bubble-scam). POMO is occurring almost daily and Primary Dealers can buy back their shares and pay dividends with what essentially is taxpayer money--

Stocks plunge despite debt deal Weak economic signs spur major retreat, pushing markets to their lowest point of the year. (Washington Post) [ Despite debt deal indeed. This mystery sounds like a job for Rosanne Rosanna Danna formerly of SNL fame, to chime in with a reminder as her mama always used to say, ‘it’s always something’ (previously from 2010 – the song remains the same) … but unfortunately, that somethin’ is not necessarily what they say it is. Reality is that the u.s. market needs no help from Asia or Ireland or Greece, etc., to fall but here in the states they would love for you to think that. The fact is that the u.s. market is way over-valued / over-bought, floating on air and b*** s*** alone in this new bubble as in the last before the previous crash that the wall street frauds and insiders commission with high frequency churn-and-earn trade programs and sell into. I mean, forget about valuations, security analysis, basic economics, etc. … it’s suddenly, from out of nowhere, Ireland and China jamming on the breaks … riiiiight! Come on! That dog don’t hunt no more! Lloyd, infra, lists 17 concerns right off the top. The decline certainly was no mystery to Loundsbury, Roche, Maierhofer, Hussman, etc., infra, among many others. … The frauds on wall street et als should be criminally prosecuted, jailed, fined, and disgorgement imposed! Rout spells trouble for Wall Street / Moody's confirms U.S. rating at Aaa, outlook negative / Chinese rating agency cuts U.S. debt again]

Deal fails to soothe foreign critics (Washington Post) { Let’s not kid outselves! I consider Russia a rational, great nation (their painful, yet peaceful transition from their mistake is a testament to their greatness as a people / nation and Gorbachev particularly – China’s recent success is as far from communism as can be imagined) and have high regard for Putin though lamenting his youthful, albeit inherited indiscretion (kind of like that Tiger hunt which he’s now wisely disavowed) in dabbling in the failed system of communism (the great lie where everybody’s equal except some are more equal than others, ie., party members, bureaucrats, etc., kind of like america today with the addition of the plutocratic wealthy thieves, criminals, frauds, etc.). That said, most of these so-called ‘foreign critics’ fall predominantly into either of two categories; viz., ‘pots calling the kettle black’, or ‘enablers’. Putin Calls U.S. a “Parasite,” Demands New Reserve Currency Activist Post | Putin seemed pleased that politicians in the U.S. agreed to a deal to raise the debt ceiling. Putin says U.S. is "parasite" on global economy [Unfortunately, this is very true. More unfortunately is the fact that most worldwide don’t realize that fact! I mean, think about it: pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt america’s cancerous perma wars, over-printed debased ‘Weimar’ paper ‘reserve’ currency, huge frauds in securities and otherwise, etc..

.. Bernanke’s results .. since Ben took the reins:

Feb ’06 – April ’11

Items in a Typical Budget	% Change
Food and Beverages	16.54%
Water and sewer and trash collection services	31.88%
Rent of primary residence	13.82%
Housing	8.68%
Fuels and Utilities	11.93%

Gasoline (all types)	65.12%
Transportation	23.36%
Tuition, other school fees, and childcare	29.28%
Recreation	2.87%

In conclusion, it is evident that Ben Bernanke is failing his mandates. We believe it must come down to one of the following reasons:

1. Bernanke does not know how to achieve his mandates;

2. The policy tools employed don’t work;

3. He does not have the ability to implement policies that would work;

4. He is not trying to achieve his mandates;

5. He has goals other than his legal mandates;

6. He does not look at the data, and believes he is succeeding.

I certainly didn’t expect them to default if only because, as I’ve said before when last they raised it with wobama that the same would be a ball of confusion / paper - bureaucratic nightmare / pain in the a** / time-consuming mess to unravel and straighten out. The media attention was appropriate because the debt situation is that dire. The nation is defacto bankrupt / insolvent. As for the view of foreign nations of america, if they’re not already questioning pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt america’s judgment and sanity; then, they themselves lack good judgment / sanity. The economy is and prospectively will be much worse than they’re spinning, lying about, faking reports / data, etc., but the following point he made was well taken and made: ]

‘…And it is not only Americans who are being made homeless by US policies. Afghans, Pakistanis, Iraqis, Yemenis, Somali, Libyans are also consigned to homelessness by American policy. Moreover, America’s wars against these peoples together with the supporting military/security budget account for 75% of the US budget deficit. Indeed, the cost of these wars exceed the planned future budget savings from the debt limit deal.

In other words, the cost of the wars that make millions of foreigners homeless use up revenues that the federal government could have used to keep Americans in their homes and teachers in the schools. As much as many Republicans profess to be concerned about the US public debt, Republicans were not sufficiently concerned to address their issue by cutting back the $1.2 trillion military-security budget or by raising the low tax rates on the mega-rich.

Will: Obama cannot run from his liberalism (Washington Post) [ I disagree with Mr. Will! ‘Wobama the b’ (for bs) can and does run from his liberalism. His perma wars, military spending, no pros of the huge crisis-causing frauds on wall street, and prior continuation of the moron war criminal bush tax extensions, etc., are a testament to that.

Newly appointed judge, Maryanne Trump Barry, Donald Trump’s sister, was assigned the RICO case despite the conflict of interest in light of hundreds of thousands of dollars of illegal (drug) money being laundered through the Trump casinos by the RICO defendants, and despite my motion to recuse her which motion she heard herself and denied, and U.S. Trustee Hugh Leonard with whom I met personally refused to join or file a separate motion to recuse and not long thereafter left said office for private practice at Cole, Shotz, et als on retainer with the RICO defendants as his primary client.

Probative and evidentiary documents, affidavits, exhibits, including those turned over to FBI Agent Jeff Hayes in Long Beach, CA, had been given to Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan Lacey with whom I met personally at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Newark, N.J., at which time Samuel Alito was U.S. Attorney, and went over said documents and their probative value with him. Within approximately a month thereafter upon inquiry I was told that Jonathon Lacey was no longer with the office, that the file/documents could not be located, and that there was no further information available concerning contacting him or his location. I thereupon delivered by hand, copies of said documents to the office of then U.S. Attorney Alito, addressed to him, with assurance they would go directly to him. In addition to being inept [ I looked in on the one mob case he had brought, bungled, lost (accidently on purpose?) since I was suing some mob-connected under RICO and the court (I had known / previously met outside of court the judge Ackerman through a client) was absolute bedlam and a total joke since incompetent corrupt Alito brought in all 20 mob defendants (rather than prosecute one or a few to flip them first) who feigning illness had beds/cots in the courtroom along with their moans during testimony and had the jury in stitches. As much as I hate the mob, it truly was funny, if not so tragic.], Alito is also corrupt (and maybe corrupt because he is inept). After a reasonable (but still rather short) time I called to determine the status and was told that Alito was no longer with the Office of the U.S. Attorney, that he was (appointed) a federal judge, and that neither the documents nor any file or record of same could be located. Alito did parley the same / cover-up into quid pro quo direct lifetime appointment to the Court of Appeals, 3^rd circuit, despite the absence of judicial experience or successful tenure as U.S. Attorney (Maryanne Trump Barry as well). This is the same Sam Alito that now sits on the purported highest court in the land. The real application of the illegal rule ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’.

Top 3 Reasons Markets Were Down Despite Debt Deal Wall St. Cheat Sheet August 2, 2011, Markets closed down on Wall Street today: Dow -2.19% , S&P -2.56% , Nasdaq -2.75% , Oil -1.73% , Gold +2.34 % .

On the commodities front, Oil fell to $93.25, while precious metals gained, with Gold up to $1,659.60 an ounce and Silver up 3.79% to $40.80 an ounce.

Don’t Miss: The U.S. Debt Deal: Your Cheat Sheet to the Framework.

Today’s markets were down because:

1) Consumer spending. With consumer spending dropping off in July for the first time since September 2009, it looks as though the economic recovery might be coming to a standstill. This morning’s report from the Commerce Department shows that the economy only grew 1.3% during the second quarter, while both income and disposable income only rose 0.1%, the slowest rate of growth since November 2010, and consumer spending contracted 0.2%. The news only compounds the effect of Monday’s ISM report showing that growth in the manufacturing industry also slowed in July.

2 ) Debt deal. With a much-awaited debt deal finally passed in the nick of time, markets haven’t gotten the boost one might have expected as investors realize that the deal, which issues huge cuts to spending without touching taxes, won’t actually help the stagnant economy. Yesterday anticipation of the deal helped to offset negative economic data, but now Congress has loosed its reigns on the markets, which will now have to take their cues from the economy.

3) Debt deal, take two. While the debt deal will be cutting social spending, student aid, and government agency budgets, it will also be directly affecting many large corporations that rely heavily on government sales. Healthcare stocks like Pfizer , and Humana are down as they expect weakened profits as Congress cuts funding for Medicare and Medicaid. The capital goods sector is also being hit by the deal, with huge cuts to defense spending putting contracts with tech, manufacturing, and aerospace companies like United Technologies , Honeywell , and Lockheed Martin at risk…’

[video] Sellers Focus On DowngradeTheStreet.com NEW YORK - Teddy Weisberg of Seaport Securities says the headwinds and Washington are weighing on the market.

American Investors Screwed: Dave's Daily at TheStreet (Tue 6:51PM EDT) ‘The debt ceiling has been raised and conventional wisdom had it that we'd rally. That notion was blown apart Monday and Tuesday especially. Americans are facing an uncertain future with debts and ways to pay for them. The debt ceiling will create yet another commission to come up with solutions. This is pretty dumb since we already had a presidential commission with a recent report that no one wanted to deal with, especially the president. The focus has shifted from this Washington melodrama to real stuff like economic data. Today Personal Income and Spending showed the first decline in 2 years. Recent reports taken together indicate a rapidly declining economy. In fact, J.P. Morgan economists have slashed forecasts for the second half of 2011 from 2.7% GDP growth (already reduced) to below single digit. The inference is a trip back to recession. And, noises were emanating from Europe on Tuesday that more debt troubles were about to plague Spain, Italy and even France. Even with markets being already short-term oversold, the "get me the hell out" mantra echoed through the floor of stock exchanges Tuesday. Earnings? Nobody cares right now since they're just so much "old news." Sure, with good earnings reports trailing PEs will look pretty cheap but that would mask what lies ahead. Bonds continued their crazy meteoric ascent as yields on 10-year Treasury bonds dropped to 2.62%. Even those drinking Kool Aid know basic inflation wipes out this yield. The dollar rallied overall against most currencies since with stocks in a major sell-off it was time to take profits wherever available. Further margin calls were no doubt issued and it was time for some dollar repatriation. Gold continued to rise sharply to new highs while commodity markets overall were much weaker given thoughts of weak demand. Whatever 2011 year-to-date gains existed have been wiped-out for the major equity indexes. And today was the worst loss for SPY since August 2010. This shouldn't surprise since we've repeatedly been comparing this summer with last year…’

STOCKS GET DESTROYED, DOW FALLS 266, GOLD SURGES: Here's What You Need To Know Business Insider Joe Weisenthal, On Tuesday August 2, 2011, 4:00 pm EDT Horrible and depressing and disappointing. But first, the scoreboard:

Dow: -265.72
NASDAQ: -75.43
S&P 500: -32.89

And now, the top stories:

First, we'll just get it out of the way. The debt ceiling story is over. The Senate passed the hike and Obama signed it. The story's resolution provided no lift to stocks whatsoever. Re-live today's full events here >

The bigger story is Europe going blamo. Italy and Spain just keep looking like they're about to get sucked into the vortex. Yields are surging in both countries. Bank stocks are getting their heads beaten in. Politicians in both countries are doing the same song and dance, claiming that they're fine. It's bad news, and both countries are probably too big to save. If they go, the Eurozone goes kaput. Click here to see who gets smashed if Italy goes bust >

And then again, the weak US economy. Consumer spending in June went negative "unexpectedly." Income growth was also poor.

Mix it all up, shake... You get stocks killed, Treasury yields collapsing (why is the government worried about saving money again?), gold soaring (up nearly $40!), the Franc soaring and the yen soaring. Even silver caught a nice bounce today. The S&P is now down for 2011. This is also the 8th straight down day for the Dow, which is the first time since this has happened since October 2008. Uh-oh.

Ominously, the selling was super-aggressive late int he day.

In terms of sectors, the biggest losers was industrials (down 3%) followed by consumer services, down 2.7%.

As for the connection between the debt ceiling deal and the markets, there's probably no real connection, except the queazy feeling you might get from thinking about spending cuts during a bad recovery.

S&P Goes Negative for the Year at The Wall Street Journal

The U.S. Fiscal Crisis: Much Like Greece Stacy Curtin | Daily Ticker ‘At long last, our elected officials in Washington have reached a deal to raise the country's $14.3 trillion debt ceiling! The measure made it through the House of Representatives Monday and is set to hit President Obama's desk by day's end after the Senate also votes to approve the legislation. (See: THE DEBT DEAL: Crisis Over, But More Pain To Come)

But the bipartisan deal does little to fix our long-term budget problems, say Adam Lerrick, professor of economics at Carnegie Mellon University, pointing to two core problems: 60% of Americans receive more from the government than they pay in taxes, and 50% of Americans pay no income tax at all.

"This [deal] is just a temporary stop-gap measure," says Lerrick, an expert in sovereign debt restructuring. "The United States has shown itself totally incapable, and this is both parties, of dealing with its fundamental economic problems, which are Medicare, Social Security, education and energy. And until we do, there is not going to be any real progress in this economy."

What's more is that Lerrick thinks the U.S. is just like Greece, with one exception: The rest of the world still considers the U.S. dollar as its reserve currency -- at least for now. (For more on Greece, see: The Greek Charade, Act II: Europeans Keep Kicking the Can, Stocks Rally).

Lerrick, who led Argentina's $100 billion debt restructuring, says it's only a matter of time before the world shifts away from the U.S. dollar.

"The world is trying to find an alternative to the dollar. The only alternative right now would be the euro, and as we've seen, the Europeans have their own fiscal crisis," he tells The Daily Ticker's Henry Blodget in the accompanying clip. "The day that stops, then we have a full-blown crisis, because we will literally not be able to pay our bills."

Right now we are on the precipice of this crisis, and there is only way to get Washington to wake up and act beyond its business-as-usual practices of ignoring and spending our way out of problems, he says. Unfortunately, it's not pretty. He says we need to hit the point of no return before politicians and the electorate are forced to make the "tough choices" that will eventually fix our fiscal mess.

"The crisis has started," Lerrick says. "Whether we recognize it and take action, I hope that will be the main subject of next year's presidential election." ‘

I believe him!

I truly empathize with the ATF in terms of government cover-ups, notably by even the DOJ. You’ll recognize some familiar names (ie., Alito, Trump, Freeh (Louis Freeh now has dual citizenship with Italy), and some familiar crimes (ie., drug money laundering, etc. – real cash cow for gov’t ops, bribes, etc.). [Did you know this about the following ATF Agents who were probably viewed as loose ends: Steve Willis, Robert Williams, Todd McKeahan & Conway LeBleu: Died February 28, 1993 by gunfire at Waco. All four were examined by a pathologist and died from identical wounds to the left temple. All four had been body guards for Bill Clinton, three while campaigning for President and when he was Governor of Arkansas.They also were the ONLY 4 BATF agents killed at Waco. ]

Senate set to take up measure Tuesday The 269 to 161 vote broke down like this: 174 Republicans and 95 Democrats supported the deal, while 66 Republicans and 95 Democrats opposed it. (Washington Post) [The frauds on wall street et als should be criminally prosecuted, jailed, fined, and disgorgement imposed! The Daily Market Report Aug 1st, 2011 PG ‘Relief? What Relief? http://www.usagold.com/cpmforum …Late last night when party leaders and the President announced that they had reached a bipartisan deal that would allow the debt ceiling to be raised, gold dropped about 1%. Global stocks rallied in relief and briefly, ever so briefly, gold was out of favor…CBO scores the package as accomplishing $2.1 trillion in spending cuts over the next 10-years, the CBO baseline also has the deficit rising $6.7 trillion over the same period. The premise apparently being that we’re working our way to actual cutting by cutting to slow the pace of the nation’s proliferate spending. In actuality — and as evidenced below — that CBO baseline may prove to be way too optimistic. What really lit an intraday fire under gold today was the big miss on US July ISM, which plunged to 50.9. The market was expecting a modest downtick to 55.0 from 55.3 in June…’ The Truth About The Debt Deal: It’s Pretty Much Meaningless Business Insider/ Come on! Who believes their pre-election year data, reports, b***s***? There’s desperation in the air and like never before! One commentator, Peter Shiff, to Frank Motek of 1070am Bus.Report references the sham in Washington; and regardless, points to default by way of inflation, further stating that the debt ceiling’s already been breached by borrowing. Moreover, he additionally states that default is inevitable by way of inflation; that the fed will be buying the evermore worthless american paper (bonds) and creating/printing evermore worthless american dollars; that there’s been a quid pro quo with at least one of the 3 (S&P, Moody’s, Fitch) federal licensed rating agencies, viz., of reaffirming the u.s. AAA rating in return for no prosecution surrounding their role in the S&P AAA rated worthless (fraudulent, mortgage-backed, derivative) paper securities (fraud) giving rise to the previous leg of this continuing, ongoing debacle / crisis. He finally goes on to recommend non-u.s., non-dollar denominated assets, precious metals, and alternate currencies. This is still a great opportunity to sell / take profits since there’s much, much worse to come!

The funniest thing about this (and you have to laugh) is to see Conservative pundits get on TV and talk about how we need to cut $100Bn worth of discretionary spending to "fix" this (while continuing to spend $1Tn on the military and $1Tn on tax cuts for the top 1% each year).

THE OBAMA DECEPTION’ http://albertpeia.com/obamadeceptionhighqualityversion.flv

The battle is done, the 2012 war begins / The moderate middle carries the day / Defense cuts may hurt D.C. economy / Deal risks undermining fragile growth / What the debt deal means for . . . / The unemployed: No insurance, no stimulus / Federal workers: Possible job, benefits cuts / Health care: Changes to Medicare & Medicaid / The states: Federal money, credit ratings at risk (Washington Post) [ A simple math example analogous to the current scenario is apposite and follows, infra. First and foremost regarding the aforementioned worry / reality list is that all said concerns are real and warranted. Reason: At some point (now), even printing more evermore worthless ‘Weimar’ dollars becomes inimical to the desired (very ephemeral) results of same (costs, margins, etc.). Reality: 2+2 still equals 4, even if they say it’s 5 or 6 or whatever. Example: Board of directors borrows $5M to make $1M ahead of board elections (show profits from the interest thereon); and thereafter, upon reelection to the board compensate themselves and their really preferred shareholders (backers) $2M. They promise many things based on projections that have little to do with their business because their revenue base from operations (ie., sales, etc.) is actually declining along with the market for the product. But, they have a somewhat good relationship with the lender’s reps who have made a ton with these guys and in the following year justifies yet another $5M to make $1M with a comparable divvy. The problem is that the amount owed has gotten larger, the interest amounts greater, and net worth lesser. [ Unnaffordable war pending, QE’s 1& 2, etc.. Drudgereport:`Obama Economists Admit: 'Stimulus' Cost $278,000 per Job...` ] . (Exacerbating the scenario is the reality that many american ‘manufacurers’ can make as much or more slapping their names on literally foreign made products, ie., even those ‘apple things’, etc.) Much like the ‘ponzi scheme’, such a scenario invariably crashes from its own weight as is true of america today. Relative to the debt and prospective revenue (growth or lack thereof) the following facts take your breath away: If you divided the national debt up equally among all U.S. households, each one would owe a staggering $125,475.18. The federal government has borrowed 29,660 more dollars per household since Barack Obama signed the economic stimulus law two years ago. During Barack Obama's first two years in office, the U.S. government added more to the U.S. national debt than the first 100 U.S. Congresses combined. The End of the American Dream [ http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/debt-debt-debt-15-facts-about-u-s-government-finances-that-are-almost-too-crazy-to-believe ] Instead of listening to the warnings of our founding fathers, now we are in debt hell....

#1 The Obama administration is now projecting that the federal budget deficit for this year will be an all-time record $1.645 trillion dollars.

#2 The budget deficit for this year alone will end up being well over 10 percent of GDP. That is an absolutely nightmarish level.

#3 Currently, the accumulated national debt of the U.S. government has reached a grand total of $14,123,589,307,190.53.

#4 If you divided the national debt up equally among all U.S. households, each one would owe a staggering $125,475.18.

#5 The federal government has borrowed 29,660 more dollars per household since Barack Obama signed the economic stimulus law two years ago.

#6 During Barack Obama's first two years in office, the U.S. government added more to the U.S. national debt than the first 100 U.S. Congresses combined.

#7 In the new budget that the Obama administration has proposed, the U.S. government would spend 3.7 trillion dollars in 2012 and by 2021 the U.S. government would be spending a whopping 5.6 trillion dollars per year.

#8 The U.S. government currently has to borrow approximately 41 cents of every single dollar that it spends.

#9 The total compensation that the federal government workforce earned last year came to a grand total of approximately 447 billion dollars.

#10 The U.S. national debt is currently rising by well over 4 billion dollars every single day.

#11 The U.S. government is borrowing over 2 million more dollars every single minute.

#12 The U.S. national debt is over 14 times larger than it was just 30 years ago.

#13 Unfunded liabilities for entitlement programs such as Social Security and Medicare are estimated to be well over $100 trillion, and nobody in the U.S. government seems to have any idea how we are actually even going to come close to meeting all of those obligations.

#14 If you were alive when Christ was born and you spent one million dollars every single day since that point, you still would not have spent one trillion dollars by now.

#15 If the federal government began right at this moment to repay the U.S. national debt at a rate of one dollar per second, it would take over 440,000 years to pay off the national debt.

Debt Deal Yields More Debt: Dave's Daily at TheStreet ‘If the founders could only see what's happening now they'd be disgusted and mighty pissed off! This is hardly a market headline now is it?

We did, or are getting, the debt ceiling relief everyone was worried and fixated upon. We'll get a vote in the Congress after 6-7 PM EDT. On the news of this last night, markets in Asia rallied. I was watching breathless and excited Bloomberg anchors in Asia cheering markets. Markets opened higher in the U.S. but quickly turned south as the important ISM Data missed consensus forecasts badly (50.9 vs 54.6 expected). This shows the economy is still contracting. The sell-off continued until we tagged the all-important 200 day moving average in several sectors, and with conditions much oversold, we rallied. The intraday DJIA sported a 280 point intraday swing. Nobody is paying much attention to earnings news overall since the focus is on debt and the economy. Gold fell, then rallied and fell again modestly as nervousness remains high. The dollar rallied against the euro and other currencies as the rubber band was stretched too far and Bucky was at critical support. Commodities rallied early but then fell after ISM data pointed toward weak demand. Bonds continued to rally despite ongoing debt and debt ceiling debate…’

Deal risks compromising growth Debt-ceiling deal could avert a financial crisis but would threaten to aggravate economic problems.

(Washington Post) [ Wake up! The old days are irrevocably over! Market reaction? Who cares should be their knowledgeable response. Reason? Though good for the stock market, bad for the economy. Example: QE 1 & 2 – good for the stock market but bad and far too costly for ‘main street’ and the economy. Another example: If the massive trillion dollar wall street frauds were prosecuted and disgorgement imposed, the market would indeed initially go down in manipulated fashion; but , the economy (confidence, detererrent) would be helped (and deficits lessened) thereby and ultimately go up on fundamentals. The stock market’s disconnect from the economy and finance generally has been noted for quite some time. What good for them, has not been and is not good for you. Yeah, your 401k (if you have one) might gain an extra buck this year; but, your pink slip will be in by the end of the same year, if your company’s still in business. And to quote Boehner’s concern with ‘doing a deal before the Asian markets open’, I would say, ‘If you’re that concerned, borrow less, spend less, tax the top 1% more, engage in war less.’ That was preposterous!

Enloe and Seager joined The Daily Ticker's Aaron Task to share three of the most surprising misconceptions they uncovered.

#1 Land of Homeowners

#2 Land of Opportunity

Just like the ideal of owning a home, opportunity in this country is now also on the brink.

The cost of a college education continues to rise year after year.

The unemployment rate remains high at 9.2%, but it doesn't factor in the millions of "underemployed" workers -- those who are currently working part-time but would like full-time work -- and discouraged workers who have tired of looking for a job and have just dropped out of the job market.

#3 Land of Givers

While the U.S. does give more money in foreign aid than any other country in the world, as a percentage of GDP it falls way behind many other nations.

Whereas Sweden gives almost 1% of its GDP in 2008, the U.S. gave 0.19%.

I now see a similar confluence of events that warns of phase II of the global crisis.

Once again I see all the “canaries in the mine,” which warned of the 2008 crisis. My just released book, Financial Apocalypse , provides the clues and the road map, with charts, of how my indicators successfully predicted the meltdown that occurred in the fall of 2008. This book is a guide for detecting the next crisis whenever it occurs. History repeats, or at minimum, it rhymes.

My work shows that “the new recession has started.” The May 9 issue of the Wellington Letter was headlined: “Return of the Double-Dip.” At the time, economists were looking for a great economy in the second half. Now they talk about a “soft patch.” Over the past 33 years, we have called the start of every recession, often on the exact month, or within one month, of the official start as determined one year later by the official arbiter of recession, the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER).

When the current euphoric earnings forecasts of Wall Street finally reflect that via significant “earnings downgrades,” the stock market will see a serious “adjustment” as well.

On July 18, Goldman Sachs (GS) substantially lowered its economic growth forecast. Marketwatch.com had this headline: Goldman Sachs slashes Economic Forecasts. The next step will be for them to substantially reduce earnings forecasts for the S&P 500.

Don’t Miss: The U.S. Debt Deal: Your Cheat Sheet to the Framework.

Today’s markets were down because:

1) DEBT CEILING. Last night President Obama announced that negotiators from both parties and both chambers of Congress had reached a compromise on a debt proposal. But as leaders try to sell the deal to their peers, it’s looking like it might be a close vote. The House is currently hearing from both the bill’s supporters and its opposition, which comes in the form of both liberal and conservative representatives. Polls showed that most Americans wanted a deal that placed some of the burden of balancing the budget on taxes, if only on the wealthy, rather than focusing solely on spending cuts as the deal does. All of that leads to a less than optimistic turnout at the markets despite what should have been a huge sigh of relief.

2 ) MANUFACTURING. While news of a likely debt ceiling solution might have given markets a boost in the absence of any truly negative data, we’ll never know, as the ISM Manufacturing Report released before the markets opened today showed that growth in the sector slowed to a snail’s pace in July, not just in the U.S. but globally.

3) HEALTHCARE. Taking a huge beating today were healthcare stocks, down on fears that cuts to Medicare would reduce revenue for everything from drug companies like Pfizer to healthcare providers like Humana . Healthcare stocks were down across the board, despite many positive earnings reports last week. Keep your eye on these top healthcare stocks as the debt deal unfolds: Johnson & Johnson , Pfizer Inc. , Bristol Myers Squibb Co. , GlaxoSmithKline plc , Sanofi-Aventis SA , Eli Lilly & Co. , Abbott Laboratories , Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd , and Novartis AG …’

The Daily Market Report Aug 1st, 2011 12:01 by PG Relief? What Relief? http://www.usagold.com/cpmforum Late last night when party leaders and the President announced that they had reached a bipartisan deal that would allow the debt ceiling to be raised, gold dropped about 1%. Global stocks rallied in relief and briefly, ever so briefly, gold was out of favor. However, as the details were revealed, doubts were reignited: Doubts as to whether such legislation could actually make it to the President’s desk. Doubts that the deal would avert a downgrade of US sovereign debt.While the CBO scores the package as accomplishing $2.1 trillion in spending cuts over the next 10-years, the CBO baseline also has the deficit rising $6.7 trillion over the same period. The premise apparently being that we’re working our way to actual cutting by cutting to slow the pace of the nation’s proliferate spending. In actuality — and as evidenced below — that CBO baseline may prove to be way too optimistic.What really lit an intraday fire under gold today was the big miss on US July ISM, which plunged to 50.9. The market was expecting a modest downtick to 55.0 from 55.3 in June. On the heals of last week’s much weaker than expected quarterly GDP data, it has become abundantly apparent that the US economy has slowed to just above stall-speed. David Rosenberg, chief economist at Gluskin Sheff and Associates, noted last week that once the economy slows to a growth rate of 1.6% it has proven historically to be a “point of no return” and recession follows. With Q1 downgraded to just 0.36% and Q2 an anemic 1.3% — and likely subject to future negative revision as well — the writing may well be on the wall.The debt deal is a short-term kick of the can that at least initially focuses on spending cuts. However, with no mitigation of the uncertainties that have kept private capital sidelined for the past two-years of the so-called recovery, there is little reason to think that a more robust economy is just around the corner. In fact, the opposite may be true. That realization, tipped in by the ISM data, has further escalated the QE3 talk, which prompted gold to retest the record high set Friday at 1632.39. Relief? What relief?If we get another negative surprise on Friday when July nonfarm payrolls comes out, as the ISM employment index suggests we might, the QE3 talk will intensify ever more in the weeks ahead of the Fed’s Jackson Hole summit. Consensus on July payrolls are running around +100k, although we could see some tempering of those expectations in light of the ISM data.Even with the announcement of the debt ceiling deal, the dollar remains on the ropes, falling to new record lows against the Swiss franc and the yen. If this deal makes it through both Houses of Congress and is signed by the President, it is just another kick of the can — and a very short one at that — down the road. And with the specter of yet another round of quantitative easing hanging over the market, there is little incentive to buy dollars. Now the BoJ is once again contemplating direct intervention in the market, as I suspect the SNB is. If there are concerted efforts to slow the rise of these currencies, it may make gold an even more alluring option.’

Well, unless one expects the pentagon / military-industrial-complex / cia to prostrate themselves before the senate and confess (don’t hold your breath), quite simply in large part the reason is that ultimately it’s much easier to steal when in control of the flow of the ‘dough’ (ie., flying in 360 tons of $100 bills gone missing, etc.).

Indeed, in evolutionary terms, it’s doubtful that those so positioned abroad would have represented a positive addition to the gene pool which, borrowing from an insurance term, viz., adverse selection, springs forth the notion of inevitability to the genocide of the indigenous populations while guaranteeing the decline we see throughout this foundering nation. The effects of these negative predispositions toward inherent criminality is certainly being felt globally as well as domestically and has little to recommend it.

Second, it is intellectually dishonest to be an atheist. Specifically, there is absolutely no evidence to dispute the existence of God. While one might similarly argue that there is no evidence to suggest there is a God (which I would dispute), which for most is a fair statement, the same would yield at best, if intellectually honest, the position of ‘agnostic’. I can totally understand and even empathize with the view of the agnostic. After all, at this point, there seems to be ‘no rhyme nor reason’ at all. But, think binary, positives / negatives. Just too many negatives. Think ‘capital punishment’. No, the world’s not going to end in 2012 as some fear. Rather, think slow burn; decades at best; then ‘poof’.

No! The world will not be ending on October 21, 2011 or any other date as set forth by camping.

Dear Congresswoman Roybal-Allard:

ATF Chief Melson:Justice Department trying to shield officials (LATimes) Serrano

I believe him!

I truly empathize with the ATF in terms of government cover-ups, notably by even the DOJ. You’ll recognize some familiar names (ie., Alito, Trump, Freeh (Louis Freeh now has dual citizenship with Italy), and some familiar crimes (ie., drug money laundering, etc. – real cash cow for gov’t ops, bribes, etc.). [Did you know this about the following ATF Agents who were probably viewed as loose ends: Steve Willis, Robert Williams, Todd McKeahan & Conway LeBleu: Died February 28, 1993 by gunfire at Waco. All four were examined by a pathologist and died from identical wounds to the left temple. All four had been body guards for Bill Clinton, three while campaigning for President and when he was Governor of Arkansas.They also were the ONLY 4 BATF agents killed at Waco. ]

Here’s some real, complicit cover-up / fraud on the part of the federal government, et als:

October 15, 2010 (*see infra {ultimately delivered by UPS})

Steven M. Martinez, Assistant Director In Charge
Federal Bureau of Investigation, USDOJ
11000 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 1700

Los Angeles, CA 90024

Dear Sir:

A judgment had been entered in my favor in the case, United States District Court Case #3:93cv02065(AWT)(USDCJ Alvin Thompson), worth approximately now in excess of $300,000 remains unaccounted for and which could be used for payment to creditors, Los Angeles, etc..
Counsel Robert Sullivan on my behalf documented by way of certification upon investigation that Alan Shiff, USBCJ, had falsely stated a dismissal upon which false statement he predicated a retaliatory and spurious contempt proceeding against me causing substantial damage, and for which he sought Judicial Notice of those and related proceedings as did I in some of my filings.
The Order of Dismissal With Prejudice by Alan Shiff, USBCJ, owing to Defendant Coan’s failure to file anything whatsoever by the court’s deadline causing creditors and me substantial damages: [ Shiff Order of Dismissal With Prejudice on Coan’s Failure to File Page 1 Page 2 ]
Defendant Coan had filed an action against me to prevent me from suing him which necessitated me to fly to Connecticut for a hearing before The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District of Connecticut, who denied Coan’s requested relief as to Coan but precluded my action against Shiff (although there is no immunity, judicial or otherwise, for criminal acts, ie., fraud connected with a case under Title 11, USC, etc.) . [ transcript in pertinent part - crossexamofcoanbypeia.pdf ]
Newly appointed judge, Maryanne Trump Barry, Donald Trump’s sister, was assigned the RICO case despite the conflict of interest in light of hundreds of thousands of dollars of illegal (drug) money being laundered through the Trump casinos by the RICO defendants, and despite my motion to recuse her which motion she heard herself and denied, and U.S. Trustee Hugh Leonard with whom I met personally refused to join or file a separate motion to recuse and not long thereafter left said office for private practice at Cole, Shotz, et als on retainer with the RICO defendants as his primary client.

Probative and evidentiary documents, affidavits, exhibits, including those turned over to FBI Agent Jeff Hayes in Long Beach, CA, had been given to Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan Lacey with whom I met personally at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Newark, N.J., at which time Samuel Alito was U.S. Attorney, and went over said documents and their probative value with him. Within approximately a month thereafter upon inquiry I was told that Jonathon Lacey was no longer with the office, that the file/documents could not be located, and that there was no further information available concerning contacting him or his location. I thereupon delivered by hand, copies of said documents to the office of then U.S. Attorney Alito, addressed to him, with assurance they would go directly to him. In addition to being inept [ I looked in on the one mob case he had brought, bungled, lost (accidently on purpose?) since I was suing some mob-connected under RICO and the court (I had known / previously met outside of court the judge Ackerman through a client) was absolute bedlam and a total joke since incompetent corrupt Alito brought in all 20 mob defendants (rather than prosecute one or a few to flip them first) who feigning illness had beds/cots in the courtroom along with their moans during testimony and had the jury in stitches. As much as I hate the mob, it truly was funny, if not so tragic.], Alito is also corrupt (and maybe corrupt because he is inept). After a reasonable (but still rather short) time I called to determine the status and was told that Alito was no longer with the Office of the U.S. Attorney, that he was (appointed) a federal judge, and that neither the documents nor any file or record of same could be located. Alito did parley the same / cover-up into quid pro quo direct lifetime appointment to the Court of Appeals, 3^rd circuit, despite the absence of judicial experience or successful tenure as U.S. Attorney (Maryanne Trump Barry as well). This is the same Sam Alito that now sits on the purported highest court in the land. The real application of the illegal rule ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’.

The Week Ahead: More "Bizarro World" Forbes Tom Aspray MoneyShow.com ‘It’s all about the debt-ceiling debate right now, and mounting fears have caused technical damage that will take time to resolve. Use any short-lived rally as a chance for selective selling.

It was a rough week for the markets this past week, and the week ahead may be no better. Last week, Senator John McCain used the word “bizzaro” in his description of how the debt crisis was being handled. It is nice to have one politician who is not afraid to speak his mind. Comic book fans will remember that Bizarro World was a fictional, cube-shaped planet from DC Comics (how appropriate!). [ Since the author’s referred to mccain, I’ll say mccain’s wife’s / extended ‘family’’s portfolios probably took a hit, so as always, mccain’s ‘up in arms’ and add this here: The Plum Line : McCain erupts: Conservatives are lying to America (Washington Post) [ Talk about lies and liars, mccain’s been a total fabrication, since Vietnam particularly. Keating 5 mcCain’s a total fraud (wealthy by that meyer lansky crowd, he still collects social security, and takes those congressional raises he votes for). He is, and always has been, a pathetic loser; which, if you look around you, the nation is inundated with today!.. Paul Craig Roberts: Government Abandoned Vietnam POWs Kurt Nimmo | John McCain worked overtime to make sure Vietnam POWs never came home. I think the even bigger story vis-à-vis mccain is: http://www.albertpeia.com/heroenot.htm ‘Did you know that that so-called "american heroe" john mccain was referred to by his fellow pows in Vietnam as something akin to the "songbird" inasmuch as he was constantly "singing" to his Viet-Cong captors to curry favor and better treatment? This has been documented with authority by Colonel David Hackworth. The same violates military code/protocol (other soldiers have been court-martialed for far less) click Here, Here. [ http://www.albertpeia.com/hackworth.htm ] But, you see, this covered up scenario, compromizing the false facade of far less than a heroe, is exactly what a criminal (lie of a) nation as america loves and encourages (get everyone's hands dirty so no-one dares to rectify same, ie., bush, sr., clinton, bush, jr.). That is, "toe the (corrupt, propagandized) line", become a criminal, or be exposed, prosecuted, and/or ruined; and, hasn't anyone asked how "wall street" has been "spared the spotlight" (and even was accorded protective legislation from their criminal culpability) and focus of inquiry, attention, and prosecution despite being the primary beneficiaries financial and otherwise of these scams (you know the wall street motto, "churn and earn"; huge conflicts of interest if not outright fraud)…’…Oh and they so can afford it Deficit panel proposes huge cuts (Washington Post) [ Cuts? (This is from 2010 coupled with the same foregoing prior post) I heard the corrupt, incompetent lawmakers were giving themselves a raise. They actually deserve at least a 10% paycut and abolition of those lifetime appointments / permanent corrupt bureaucracies. Nothing succeeds like failure and crime in pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt america! ] Lawmakers propose curbs on Social Security, cuts in spending and tax hikes if long-term goals aren't met. ]

It would be nice if last week’s action in the financial markets and in Washington, DC was fictitious, but unfortunately, it was not. The debt crisis weighed on the markets from the start of last week, and the selling pressure picked up steam as the week progressed. This week may be just as treacherous.

Another vote is scheduled for late Friday, but I am not optimistic that it will mean much. In all likelihood, we will wake up on Monday and still be without a deal. Investors definitely have started to run scared, as they removed $13.6 billion from stock mutual funds and ETFs in the first four days of last week.

Institutions are also nervous, as very short-term T-bill rates have spiked, therefore causing the yield curve to flatten out. Historically, a flat yield curve is negative for the economy. Yields on the ten-year T-note dropped to new lows for the year, as they seem to be the safest haven, after gold.

Though a deal will eventually be done, what we can’t determine is whether the confidence in the markets and economic recovery has suffered a fatal hit. A contraction in credit at this fragile time in the economic recovery could have serious implications.

There has been some technical damage to the stock market as well, and while the analysis of the Advance/Decline (A/D) line still suggests that a major top is not complete, some time is likely needed to repair the damage.

The negative short-term analysis allows for more selling, and the S&P 500 could drop back to the March lows, which are more than 3% below Friday’s close.

A surprise decline in claims for unemployment insurance was one of the few positives last week. The much weaker GDP numbers, especially the big downward revision in the first quarter numbers, hit stocks hard early Friday.

These numbers did not help make the dollar more attractive, as the dollar index violated support (line a) on July 21. Though it is possible that the dollar is forming a double bottom, a more likely interpretation is that it will break below the recent lows, which will cause heavier selling.

Gold was the big winner last week, and after completing its flag formation (lines c and d) on July 12, the Spyder Gold Trust (GLD) has accelerated to the upside. It is still below the upside targets from the flag formation, which are in the $160-$162 area.

Platinum prices have been lagging gold, as platinum is just $155 more expensive than gold. In January, one ounce cost $525 more, and the long-term chart of the platinum/gold spread is quite interesting.

The week ahead is a big one for economic reports with the main focus being on jobs. The ADP Employment report is due out Wednesday, with jobless claims due Thursday, and the key monthly jobs report scheduled for Friday.

There are some other reports as well, with the ISM Manufacturing Index and Construction Spending set for release on Monday. On Tuesday, we’ll get the Personal Income report, while the ISM Non-Manufacturing Index and Factory Orders will be released on Wednesday.

What to Watch

Last Thursday, I identified some key levels for ETFs that represent the major stock indexes. Those levels were decisively broken in the Spyder Trust (SPY) and SPDR Diamonds Trust (DIA). Technology has been the strongest sector recently, and the tech-heavy PowerShares QQQ Trust (QQQ) is so far holding well above its key support.

Stocks made their lows on the opening last Friday, and despite much-worse-than-expected economic numbers, S&P futures closed almost ten points above the early lows. Though this does possibly mark a short-term low, a rally this week will have to be watched closely.

My concern is that we will see a sharp reflex rally once a deal on the debt ceiling is made, but that rally won’t last more than a day.

S&P 500

The monthly chart of the Spyder Trust (SPY) shows that it has closed lower for the past three months. It is currently not far above the monthly uptrend, line a, at $127. There is further support from the April 2010 highs at $122.

The 200-day moving average (MA) (not shown) is still rising but was violated last Friday.

Once below Friday’s low at $127.97, the next key chart support is at $126.19 and the June lows. SPY made a low in March at $125.28 during the panic selloff.

The S&P 500 A/D line has broken the uptrend from the June lows and now shows a pattern of lower highs and lower lows. The June lows now represent important support.

There is initial resistance for SPY at $130.40-$131 with much stronger resistance at $132.63.

Dow Industrials

The SPDR Diamonds Trust (DIA) was hit hard last week, falling as low as $120.64 last Friday. One can make a case from the weekly chart that a weekly head-and-shoulders top is forming. The neckline (line b) is just above the $119 level with the June lows at $118.54.

A decisive close below both of these levels on a weekly basis would clearly be serious. The weekly OBV did confirm the highs in May, but it remains below its weighted moving average (WMA) and has broken its uptrend, line c.

The Dow Industrials’ A/D line has reversed sharply, breaking the long-term uptrend, but it is still above the June lows. If those lows are broken, a more serious decline could occur.

There is significant resistance for DIA at $122.50-$123 and more important resistance now at $123.80 to $124.39.

Nasdaq 100

The tech sector was the strongest last week, as the PowerShares QQQ Trust (QQQ) held above key support at $56.87-$56.98. Friday’s low was $57.44.

The better relative performance, or RS analysis, is evident on the %Change chart, as QQQ shows higher lows while SPY shows lower lows.

The Nasdaq 100 A/D line did not confirm the recent highs and this divergence is now more of a concern. A break of longer-term support will confirm the divergence.

There is initial resistance at $58.80-$59.30.

Russell 2000

The iShares Russell 2000 Index Fund (IWM) was hit hard last week, down over 5%, and it is already close to the June lows at $77.23, having reached $78.24 on Friday.

If the June lows are broken, the major 38.2% support is at $76.11.

The Russell 2000 A/D line is declining, but it is still holding above major support.’

Top 3 Reasons Markets Were Down After a Weak GDP Report Wall St. Cheat Sheet July 29, 2011, Markets closed down on Wall Street today: Dow -0.79% , S&P -0.65% , Nasdaq -0.36% , Oil -1.56% , Gold +0.74 % .

On the commodities front, Oil fell to $95.92, while precious metals gained, with Gold up slightly to $1,628.10 an ounce and Silver up 0.29% to $39.91 an ounce.

Don’t Miss: Your Cheat Sheet to the History of the U.S. Debt Ceiling.

Today’s markets were down because:

1) Debt ceiling. Every day I have to include the debt ceiling as one of the reasons the markets were down, a little piece of me dies. Four days until the Treasury’s deadline and Congress seems to have reached a stalemate. Boehner keeps pushing forward with his bill, and finally has enough votes in the House for it to pass, only to get voted down soon as it reaches the Senate, where Democrats and Republicans alike have vowed they will block it. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is working on a budget plan that has wider support in the Senate, but it has yet to be put to a vote, until which point there’s no knowing which way it will go, especially in the Republican-led House. So in the meantime, we wait and listen to China complain about the US.

2 ) GDP . If yesterday’s positive economic news wasn’t enough to counteract the depressing effect of the looming debt ceiling, today’s bad economic news sure isn’t going to help matters. Stocks took a huge dip this morning right out of the gate after the Commerce Department reported GDP grew at an annual rate of 1.3% during the second quarter, well below projections of 1.8% growth. While data like durable goods orders and consumer spending give us an idea of how the economy is progressing, GDP covers the whole kit and kaboodle, and the most recent figures are not good.

3) Treasuries. While short-term Treasuries saw a moderate selling-off on Friday, as would be expected, the price on the benchmark 10-year note rose, pushing the yield down from 2.91% to 2.78%, the biggest one-day drop since December 2010. Longer-term investors tend to focus more on the economy than more immediate issues like those plaguing Washington at the moment, so the fact that the price of long-term notes is up shows that investors have a positive economic outlook.

‘ Is Meredith Whitney’s “I told you so” moment approaching?

Moody’s just lowered Connecticut’s general obligation rating to negative from stable citing among other things “depleted reserves with slim prospects for near-term replenishment.”

From Moody’s:

The state has approximately $14 billion in outstanding general obligation bonds…The negative outlook reflects Connecticut’s depleted reserves with slim prospects for near-term replenishment; pension funded ratios that are among the lowest in the country and likely to remain well below average; and high combined fixed costs for debt service and post employment benefits relative to the state’s budget. In the absence of a clearly articulated plan to achieve meaningful improvement in the state’s pension funded ratios and reduce its fixed costs, as well as progress toward adequate reserve levels, Connecticut’s rating could be downgraded.

The news comes just a day after it was revealed that its tri-state neighbor New Jersey is seeking a $2.25 billion bridge loan from JPMorgan Chase. The Garden State has decided to take a bank loan instead of issuing bonds because the later would require more time to raise the necessary amount of cash to pay its bills.

Whitney, the analyst who has been sharply criticized for her prediction of widespread municipal defaults this year, was on CNBC this morning discussing the bridge loan. From the interview:

“I wouldn’t read too much into this one financing. It could be business as usual. That’s not the issue,” Whitney said in a live interview. “New Jersey’s fiscal woes are far bigger than them accessing a line of credit or a new loan.”

Rather, she said these types of moves will be mere warning shots as states approve their spending plans for the fiscal year ahead—running from July 1 to June 30—and balance those budgets by cutting local aid.

“That’s what’s really going to hurt. So the pain of the states is just upon us,” said Whitney, famous for her warning about Citigroup‘s exposure to subprime loans back in 2007, a call that would foretell the ensuing financial crisis. “What you’ll see now is as the states are submitting final budgets, you’ll see the real pain at the municipal level start happening July 1. That will intensify and that’s where you’ll see the fallout.”

Limbaugh: We've Been Played for Saps, Folks: Boehner Bill Will Become Reid Bill July 28, 2011...[ God knows I’m no fan of perma war, bush, etc., apologist limbaugh’s; yet, I’m constrained to say I agree with his headline and include his article (which I’ve not read) here for 1^st Amendment purposes while also saying, republicans, democrats … at this point, what’s the difference? ] ‘BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: I think we've been played for a bunch of saps, I mean not us exclusively, I just mean the whole country, the Republican Party, ruling class. I'll explain as uncomfortable as it is and as grading as it is, I'll explain as the program unfolds it's great to have you here as always telephone number if you want to be on the program. 800-282-2882. The e-mail address [email protected].

Where are we on the debt deal? I suspect that most of the people, and this is what a lot of people are relying on, "Just finish it!" A lot of people are sick and tired of hearing about it, let's move on to something else. "I'm tired of talking about it. Can't we do something that's fun? What the hell is going on?" I understand the sentiment. Yesterday or last night the Republican leadership succeeded in getting Allen West to flip and vote for the Boehner plan or to commit to it. The same thing with Paul Ryan, and I've had a lot of e-mails: "What's Allen West doing? I can't believe Allen West, of all people." These Democrats, folks, you have to understand who we're dealing with here. This whole thing with Debbie "Blabbermouth" Schultz going on the House floor and accusing West of wanting to cut Medicare and Social Security and all that in the south Florida district, and you remember the contretemps that begin with West responding to it and so forth. They have put his re-election into play and, of course, they've got the media on their side down here in south Florida.

So all over the media is the allegation that Allen West wants to do all this damage to senior citizens and so forth so that's how his vote gets -- I'm guessing. I haven't spoken to him. But I think that's a large part of it. Now, as we all know the Boehner bill is not ideal. It's another one of these eight hundred, nine hundred, I don't even think it gets to a trillion, but let's say it does, a trillion dollars in cuts over 10 years, the debt limit raised immediately so the spending occurs immediately, but it re-invites the debt limit debate all over again in a few short few months and in fact there is from the Daily Caller today a story that says the GOP is stealing Christmas. The Democrats are going back to the Gingrich that stole Christmas theme from the Clinton days. And here's the story from the Daily Caller: "GOP Aims to Gut Christmas, White House Alleges -- House Speaker and national grinch John Boehner is planning to spoil Christmas, White House officials are claiming, as they try to head off passage of Boehner’s two-stage debt ceiling bill."

They don't want to head off passage of the Boehner bill. They want the Boehner bill to pass in the house. There's a trap essentially that's being set, and I noticed that there's an AP story, and way down at the AP story: "In fact, Boehner's plan has enough in common with Reid's -- including the establishment of a special congressional panel to recommend additional spending cuts this fall -- that Reid hinted a compromise could be easy to snap together," between his nonexistent bill and the Boehner bill. What does that mean? What it means is that over in the Senate Reid really doesn't have a bill. He's got an idea, but he doesn't have a bill. And what he's put forth as an idea hasn't gotten all that much support. But here comes, let's say the House, and Boehner doesn't have the votes in the House yet according to Politico. And this is key. That was as of 9:30 this morning and they're going to be working the Republican caucus all day long before the vote tonight. But, as of now, Boehner doesn't have the votes for his bill. But let's assume he gets the votes. The Boehner bill then goes to the Senate where it's dead on arrival. There are 58 senators that are going to vote against it, by design. However, they've got a bill over there now.

So Dingy Harry can take the Boehner bill and tweak it and rewrite it, make additions to it, take some things out of it, play with it however he wants, and get enough votes from Democrats since it becomes the Reid bill, and then it gets sent back to Boehner in the House looking nothing like his bill, but the rationale for passing the Boehner bill in the House is we've got to do this, the time is up, we're not going to get blamed. So if Reid monkeys around with the bill that he gets from Boehner, and it passes in the Senate, with whatever changes that are not favorable to us, of course, they throw it back in Boehner's lap, and then the pressure is going to be back on Boehner. Okay, do you sign the Reid bill? Do you pass it? Do you get your guys to vote for it and send it to Obama, basically a Democrat bill. That is what a lot of people -- and I sign on to the theory, too -- this is one of the traps that's being set. The Boehner bill is essentially being used to be a foundation for a nonexistent as of yet Reid bill. And thereby the Boehner bill becomes the Reid bill, therefore Democrat bill all in the absence of an Obama plan. No Obama plan at all in this.

There's no Obama bill. There's nothing set down on paper. So the Reid bill will become the Obama bill. The Boehner plan will become the Obama plan. I think that's the trap. And, of course, the establishment, Republicans are all gung ho. "Gotta get this done. It's the best we can get." Because they're telling themselves there aren't any tax increases in it, and there aren't. There aren't any tax increases in the Boehner bill. And there are spending cuts and there are caps, but what happens when that goes over to the Senate and Reid says, "You know what, I like some of this and I don't like that. Let's take some of this out and put some of this in," and gets his votes for it and the Boehner bill becomes something unrecognizable, then goes back to the House, what are they going to do? They've already passed the Boehner bill under the guise that we can't wait any longer, that AAA credit rating is in jeopardy, all this rotgut BS.

So that, essentially, is where things stand. Now, back to this Daily Caller story. The one thing in the Boehner bill, and Democrats don't like this, is that the debt ceiling doesn't get raised enough to get us through the 2012 election. In other words, the Boehner bill is not a full-fledged Obama Reelection Lifeline Bill. But that's what Reid wants to turn it into. Now they're attacking that aspect of the Boehner bill by saying that the Republicans want to destroy Christmas. "House Speaker and national grinch John Boehner is planing [sic] to spoil Christmas, White House officials are claiming, as they try to head off passage of Boehner's two-stage debt ceiling bill.

"'Happy Holidays[,] America: Boehner plan would have the debt ceiling all over again during the holiday season, which is critical for the economy,' White House deputy spokesman Dan Pfeiffer declared today at 9.50 a.m." Now, the Boehner bill would carry us through next March or April -- or at least, the last time the Speaker spoke to us that's what he told us, that there would be enough of an increase in the debt ceiling to get us through the spring. "White House political adviser David Plouffe made the same claim about Christmas almost one hour earlier when MSNBC’s [F.] Chuck Todd quizzed him about the White House’s opposition to Boehner’s two-stage debt ceiling proposal. ...

"White House spokesman Jay Carney repeated the same theme at his midday press conference. A two-stage plan that extends the debt ceiling only until 'the holiday season,' he said, 'would almost certainly require almost all of us to go through this again at the end of the year, the most important economic season of the country.'" Democrats are pulling out all rhetorical stops. Pelosi said this morning, "What we're trying to do is save the world from the Republican budget. We're trying to save life on this planet as we know it today." That's Pelosi. The CBO has scored both of these bills in such a way as to make it seem like there's very little difference between them, spending cut-wise, the Reid and Boehner bills.

There are real differences, but we're supposed to just look at the numbers and say, "Oh, they're that close? Then let's just split the difference." When is the last time you heard that the Boehner bill was very close to the Reid bill? I've never heard that until today -- and they're not close! The Reid bill counts all kinds of "savings" from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and all kinds of mumbo jumbo in there that Boehner's bill doesn't have. What is such a victory in there being no tax increases in the Reid debt ceiling deal? When in the history of the country has there ever been a tax increase included in the debt ceiling increase? We've mentioned this before: No debt ceiling increase bill has ever had a tax increase in it, yet this is being heralded as something unprecedented.

It's not. It's common. There's never a tax increase in a debt ceiling bill. There could be in this one, though, because the Boehner bill sets up this commission of unnamed members. They could do whatever they want. It's claimed that they can't do tax increases, but nothing's going to stop them if they want to. So the question that we have to ask is: Where is Republican victory in the Reid bill? Where is the victory in there being no tax increases in the Reid debt ceiling deal, because there never have been. So that's where we are (at least that's where I think we are) and they are really hustling and they are twisting arms on the Republican side. They're using phrases like, "Get your ass in line." They are saying, "Don't let ideological purity stand in the way."

Boehner said the same thing before the TARP vote. He said the exact same thing. He wasn't Speaker then but before the TARP vote in 2000 he said, "It's crucial. We're at a pressure point in the country where we can't let ideological purity stand in the right thing to do." They're saying the same thing now to the Republican freshmen in the House. "You can't let ideological purity stand in the way of doing the right thing. We've got to do this now," and their reasoning basically, when you boil it all down, is, "We've got to do something, no matter what it is, so we don't get blamed for not doing anything." So that's where we are as I, El Rushbo, see it. I'd love to be wrong. I love being right, as you well know, but I would love to be wrong. There are no real spending cuts in either bill. We went through that yesterday the baseline and all that. There are no real cuts, and certainly not at all in the Reid bill. So we shall see.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: My gosh, this is really tough for me -- and I'm not complaining for you. I'm just sharing. If the Boehner bill is stopped, Harry Reid is stopped.

If the Boehner bill passes, then essentially the Harry Reid bill is going to take the place of the Boehner bill. The Boehner bill will become the Harry Reid bill. Now, little old me -- sitting here in south Florida, growing up in Missouri, not part of any establishment -- looks at the establishment and I think that they have it all wrong. This deal, if after all of this talk about what a crisis point we are at, is the best that can be done essentially we will be institutionalizing the debt situation. The establishment that this is the new normal will make it $2.5 trillion harder to undo what will be done from this deal. That's what Reid's spending is. Reid's bill is $2.5 trillion of spending. That's the debt limit increase in the Reid bill. So it takes us from 14.3 up to 16.8.

So that becomes the new normal. Now, if we control all three branches, all three branches will have to deal with almost $17 trillion in immediate debt rather than trillions less, and the political situation is not going to be any better in dealing with it. Let's just advance forward and let's say we do win the Senate and we do win the presidency in 2012, but we've added $2.5 trillion in debt between now and then. The political situation is not going to be any better in terms of dealing with the debt. Plus we're going to have to deal with entitlements as well. None of this does.

The Reid bill doesn't deal with entitlements and the Boehner bill doesn't deal with entitlements, and that's where the real hard work is going to be, and so we're kicking that can down the road. The Republicans want a deal now to get it off their plate. They want to be able to say that they did the best they could. "We've taken a good first step." That's what they want, and they want also to have it said that they compromised. There's magic in that word in Washington and they're salivating over the opportunity to be called great compromisers. Politico today, as of 9:43 this morning: "Speaker John Boehner told lawmakers Thursday that Republicans don’t yet have the votes to pass the package, but predicted his leadership team would get the legislation across the finish line this evening.

"'We do not have the votes yet,' Boehner told a closed meeting of House Republicans Thursday morning... 'But today is the day. We’re going to get it passed.' ... Rep. Steve Chabot (R-Ohio) also said Boehner admitted not being at 217 votes yet -- the minimum number of votes needed to pass the House. 'I don't think we're there yet, but I think we will be,' said Chabot, who is backing the Boehner plan." They're planning an evening vote on Boehner's package to lift the debt ceiling after the financial markets close this afternoon in New York. Now, Politico says here Republican "leaders feel momentum has turned in their direction after the Congressional Budget Office released new estimates showing the Boehner plan reduces the deficit by more than the bill raises the debt limit."

You know we're not even talking a trillion dollars here from the current baseline? Remember yesterday (there's always so much to remember): If you're just joining us today, if you were not here yesterday, get this: If the Boehner bill was simply a freeze, not one dime spent next year more than is spent this year -- we don't increase spending a dime -- the congressional budget office would score that as a $9.5 trillion cut over 10 years because $9.5 trillion is built into the baseline from which the federal budget is built every year. That's how out of whack this is. If we don't spend a dime, the CBO would come out and claim that Boehner is cutting spending $9.5 trillion, when he's not. There's no cut in a freeze. There's only a cut if you are going to pretend that you're going to spend nearly $10 trillion the next 10 years -- which, of course, it's going to be more than that. The annual budget's over that easily.

The guys at Red State, reading stuff this morning, and they found an interesting passage in Mike Allen's Playbook in The Politico. Mike Allen has this thing every morning. It's sort of a take-off of what the Hotline does, a little Dot, Dot, Dot column on all that's going on in Washington, politically; what's supposed to happen today and what happened last night and all kinds of things. It's just the political junkie's delight. There's this little package, a quote from an unnamed top Democrat. "The press will obsess about today's House vote on the Boehner two-step bill, but at best it is an exercise in political machismo. At worst it's the beginning of the most irresponsible act in congressional history, because the House bill is dead on arrival in the Senate.

"At least 58 senators are on record saying they will not support the Boehner bill. That's worse than the Ryan bill. That's worse than Cut, Cap and Balance. So once the vote is over, Speaker Boehner needs to begin immediately working on a way out of the mess Cantor created." That's what this top Democrat is saying. "If he doesn't, we could be in big trouble. There are dozens of possible compromises. He just has to take one. Reid, McConnell and the White House have plenty of options. The question is: 'Will he choose compromise for the sake of the country or political grandstanding for the sake of his caucus.'" So what they're talking about here is the Democrats are trying to say that what Boehner is doing is irresponsible.

He's going to send a bill up to the Senate that he knows doesn't have a chance, and I can tell you their thinking behind that. Their thinking behind that -- and you tell me if you think this makes sense. The Republican thinking is, "We got a bill, the Boehner bill, the Boehner two-step. We send it up there and the Senate votes it down, it's their problem. We had a bill! We came up with deficit reduction! We expanded the debt ceiling. No new taxes. The Senate shot it down. Therefore, the ball's in the Democrats court and it's their problem." That's the thinking. This Democrat is saying that's the most irresponsible act in congressional history. Of course, the Democrat wants something that Boehner would send something over that Harry Reid and the Democrats would vote for, but read this very carefully. The Democrat is saying what I just told you.

Boehner's going to need to begin immediately working on a way out of the mess because it's still going to be his mess, according to the Democrats. They're going to say, "The sent us something that we wouldn't possibly pass. He's trying to make us look like the obstructionist, but he knows we wouldn't vote for this, so why did he send it to us? So we're going to monkey around with it, we're going to send it back to him, and we're going to put the compromise onus back on him again." So the thinking is the Democrats think they can get away after Boehner and the Republicans might think they've won the day on compromise. The Democrats say, "Oh no you haven't! You've sent us something we can't possibly vote for.

"Here. We're going to send it back to you with some changes we're going to make in it, and it's going to be up to you, Mr. Boehner, to begin immediately working on a way out of this mess -- and if you don't, we could be in big trouble." Then Reid, McConnell, and the White House have plenty of options. Here goes monkying around with the Boehner bill to turn it into something that the Senate will vote for, and it goes back to Boehner and then the question: "Will he choose compromise for the sake of the country or...?" In other words: "Will Boehner agree to the changes the Senate makes to his bill, or not?" and if he doesn't, the problem then becomes, "Republicans refuse to compromise," which is what the Democrats want all along.

Meanwhile, the Republicans think that by dumping this thing in Reid's lap, the Democrats are going to end up looking like they don't compromise. The Democrats are a step or two ahead here. That is, if they're not all on the same page and just playing us for saps anyway. However, as Red State points out here: "All the Republicans keep telling us that this is the best they can hope for," that the Boehner two-step is the best they can hope for. That's what they keep telling us: "We've got to do it now. We've got the best we can possibly get." So how is it the best they can hope for when it is going to get less votes in the House and Senate than either Paul Ryan's plan or Cut, Cap and Balance. They're going backwards on this.

Top 3 Reasons Markets Were Down Despite Apparent Economic Recovery Wall St. Cheat Sheet, July 28, 2011 [ Come on! Who believes their pre-election year data, reports, b***s***? There’s desperation in the air and like never before! ] ‘Markets closed down on Wall Street today: Dow -0.51% , S&P -0.32% , Nasdaq +0.05% , Oil -0.27% , Gold -0.22 % .

On the commodities front, Oil fell to $97.14, while precious metals were mixed, with Gold up slightly to $1,617.40 an ounce and Silver down 1.88% to $39.81 an ounce.

Don’t Miss: Your Cheat Sheet to the History of the U.S. Debt Ceiling.

Today’s markets were down because:

1) Jobless figures. Giving the markets an early boost this morning was news that last week initial jobless claims fell below 400,000 for the first time since early April. Though that number still seems high, economists say that, when jobless claims fall below 400,000, that means the economy is adding more jobs than it’s losing. All of the major indices were up this morning on the news, climbing into the early afternoon before taking a dip. The Dow climbed as high as 12,380 points, but unfortunately wasn’t able to hold onto the morning’s gains, ultimately settling in the red, as did the S&P 500, with only the Nasdaq Composite holding on to enough of its gains to finish the day up, though well below its high just before noon.

2 ) Pending home sales. Yep, those improved as well. According to the National Association of Realtors, pending home sales continued to increase in June, up 2.4% over May and a whopping 19.8% over June 2010. Last month is only the second since April 2010 to show year-over-year growth, and this upward trend bodes well for the housing market , which has been slow to recover from the financial crisis.

3) Debt ceiling. Until Congress agrees on a new budget and a plan to raise the debt ceiling, markets are going to continue to be weighted down by the pressure of impending default. It doesn’t matter that unemployment may start to decline, or that pending home sales are up — if the government defaults on its obligations, all the progress that’s been made so far will be thrown out the window.’

Minyanville's T3 Daily Recap: Market Stuns Dip Buyers, Gives Back Big Early Gains ‘During the first half of the day Thursday, the market looked set to erase most of yesterday's potent down day. Many bulls were calling yesterday's big selloff a shakeout. Boy, can four hours make a world of difference. Stocks began selling off hard after noon as lawmakers continue to squabble over the debt ceiling deal, which is only days away from the deadline. The Nasdaq was able toe eke out a narrow gain, but the S&P, and Dow both closed in the red. Many stocks had huge travel ranges today with the swinging market, not the least of which was LinkedIn Corp. (LNKD). The stock at one point was up 15% for the day, but pulled back in hard to close flat. Overall, now is not a time to try to be a hero. Stay heavily in cash until this debt deal gets ironed out (or doesn't), don't try to be a hero. Risk reward is just not in the trader's favor at this stage.’

Dear Sir:

A judgment had been entered in my favor in the case, United States District Court Case #3:93cv02065(AWT)(USDCJ Alvin Thompson), worth approximately now in excess of $300,000 remains unaccounted for and which could be used for payment to creditors, Los Angeles, etc..
Counsel Robert Sullivan on my behalf documented by way of certification upon investigation that Alan Shiff, USBCJ, had falsely stated a dismissal upon which false statement he predicated a retaliatory and spurious contempt proceeding against me causing substantial damage, and for which he sought Judicial Notice of those and related proceedings as did I in some of my filings.
The Order of Dismissal With Prejudice by Alan Shiff, USBCJ, owing to Defendant Coan’s failure to file anything whatsoever by the court’s deadline causing creditors and me substantial damages: [ Shiff Order of Dismissal With Prejudice on Coan’s Failure to File Page 1 Page 2 ]
Defendant Coan had filed an action against me to prevent me from suing him which necessitated me to fly to Connecticut for a hearing before The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District of Connecticut, who denied Coan’s requested relief as to Coan but precluded my action against Shiff (although there is no immunity, judicial or otherwise, for criminal acts, ie., fraud connected with a case under Title 11, USC, etc.) . [ transcript in pertinent part - crossexamofcoanbypeia.pdf ]
Newly appointed judge, Maryanne Trump Barry, Donald Trump’s sister, was assigned the RICO case despite the conflict of interest in light of hundreds of thousands of dollars of illegal (drug) money being laundered through the Trump casinos by the RICO defendants, and despite my motion to recuse her which motion she heard herself and denied, and U.S. Trustee Hugh Leonard with whom I met personally refused to join or file a separate motion to recuse and not long thereafter left said office for private practice at Cole, Shotz, et als on retainer with the RICO defendants as his primary client.

Probative and evidentiary documents, affidavits, exhibits, including those turned over to FBI Agent Jeff Hayes in Long Beach, CA, had been given to Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan Lacey with whom I met personally at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Newark, N.J., at which time Samuel Alito was U.S. Attorney, and went over said documents and their probative value with him. Within approximately a month thereafter upon inquiry I was told that Jonathon Lacey was no longer with the office, that the file/documents could not be located, and that there was no further information available concerning contacting him or his location. I thereupon delivered by hand, copies of said documents to the office of then U.S. Attorney Alito, addressed to him, with assurance they would go directly to him. In addition to being inept [ I looked in on the one mob case he had brought, bungled, lost (accidently on purpose?) since I was suing some mob-connected under RICO and the court (I had known / previously met outside of court the judge Ackerman through a client) was absolute bedlam and a total joke since incompetent corrupt Alito brought in all 20 mob defendants (rather than prosecute one or a few to flip them first) who feigning illness had beds/cots in the courtroom along with their moans during testimony and had the jury in stitches. As much as I hate the mob, it truly was funny, if not so tragic.], Alito is also corrupt (and maybe corrupt because he is inept). After a reasonable (but still rather short) time I called to determine the status and was told that Alito was no longer with the Office of the U.S. Attorney, that he was (appointed) a federal judge, and that neither the documents nor any file or record of same could be located. Alito did parley the same / cover-up into quid pro quo direct lifetime appointment to the Court of Appeals, 3^rd circuit, despite the absence of judicial experience or successful tenure as U.S. Attorney (Maryanne Trump Barry as well). This is the same Sam Alito that now sits on the purported highest court in the land. The real application of the illegal rule ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’.

Obama spars with Boehner as deadline looms The president said in a prime-time speech that, unless Congress agrees quickly to a long-term increase in the debt ceiling, “we would risk sparking a deep economic crisis.” In response, the House speaker said that “the solution to this crisis is not complicated,” but that he would not give the president a “blank check.” (Washington Post) [ Well, it’s that darn teleprompter.

Top 3 Reasons Markets Were Down on More Debt Ceiling Fears Wall St. Cheat Sheet July 27, 2011, ‘Markets closed down on Wall Street today: Dow -1.58% , S&P -2.02% , Nasdaq -2.65% , Oil -2.26% , Gold -0.22 % .

Don’t Miss: Your Cheat Sheet to the History of the U.S. Debt Ceiling.

Today’s markets were down because:

1) Debt ceiling. Probably the two dirtiest words in the American vocabulary today. President Obama and members of Congress have been working for months on a budget deal that both the Republican-led House and the Democrat-led Senate can agree upon, to no avail. And neither side would agree to raise the debt ceiling until a deficit-reduction plan is in place. Unfortunately, every bill proposed so far has been shot down, and Republicans are hurriedly working on another that will surely be shot down as well, by members of both the right and left. Democrat and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s plan has a chance, with a significant amount of bipartisan support, but we haven’t seen it yet, and it’s questionable whether the plan will make it through a House vote. Oh yeah, and did I mention that the U.S. credit rating is likely to be cut even if a bill is passed in time to raise the debt ceiling? Apparently Reid’s and Boehner’s plans won’t cut enough to make ratings services happy.

2 ) Weak economic data. The Fed released their Beige Book survey today showing that the economic recovery has severely slowed, only compounding the depressing effect of news that durable goods orders fell 2.1% in June, which had Dow manufacturers like 3M , United Technologies , General Electric , and Caterpillar all trading in the red today. According to the Fed’s report, consumer spending stagnated with higher fuel prices taking a bite out of disposable income. The report also predicted little improvement in jobless figures in the second half of the year.

3) Earnings. Fortunately not all investors are taking their cues from the government. With earnings report season in full swing, a few companies have seen shares skyrocket in the last week on better-than-expected earnings reports. Just a few of the stocks preventing the markets from completely bottoming out are Boeing and Amazon . Dunkin Brands also had a bright IPO today.

Live Coverage: Robert Shiller and David Blitzer Break Down the Current Housing Market Wall St. Cheat Sheet

Your Cheat Sheet to the History of the U.S. Debt Ceiling Wall St. Cheat Sheet July 26, 2011, ‘We can all thank President Richard Nixon for current debates over the national budget and the debt ceiling . In 1973, the debt ceiling was $465 billion, and debt was set to hit that level in the summer. In order to prevent the government from reaching its debt ceiling, Nixon took it upon himself to “impound” $3.4 billion in Congressionally appropriated funds. During that exertion of his executive power in a situation that should have been left to the legislative branch, he paved the way for the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 , which established the Congressional budget process we have today and created the Congressional Budget Office in order to limit the president’s power in the future.

Of course, the history of the debt ceiling dates back much further, to 1917 and the beginning of U.S. involvement in World War I, when Congress passed the Second Liberty Bond Act in order to raise funds to pay for the war. Since the act implemented the debt ceiling into law, it has been increased 77 times, surprisingly common considering the heated debate in Congress and their inability to make a decision to increase the debt ceiling until they agree on significant budget cuts. In fact, the debt ceiling has already been increase three times during Obama’s presidency, twice in 2009 and once in 2010 when both the House and Senate were led by Democrats.

Don’t Miss: 9 Investments to Hedge Against a US Debt Default.

During President George W. Bush’s two terms in office, the debt ceiling was raised 7 times, the first time by a Republican-led House and a Democrat-led Senate in June 2002, the second with a Republican majority in both houses less than a year later, and the final time by a Democratic majority in both houses in November 2008. During Bush’s tenure, the debt ceiling was increased from $5.95 trillion to $11.315 trillion.

Historically, both Republican and Democratic leaders have witnessed significant increases to the debt ceiling during their tenure, with lawmakers in both parties coming together to make decisions. During President Clinton’s eight years in office, the debt ceiling was raised four times, from $4.145 trillion to $5.95 trillion, an increase of 43.5%, while the debt ceiling was raised a total of 17 times during President Reagan’s two terms, tripling from $935.1 billion to $2.8 trillion. Even George H.W. Bush saw the ceiling increased four times during his single term in office. Not including the current administration, 16 presidents have served a total of 23 terms in office since the Second Liberty Bond Act was passed. In that time, the debt ceiling was raised 74 times, averaging 3.22 increases per term — nearly once a year.

In that time, the closest the government ever came to default was a last minute deal in 1979. Though the deal was finalized in time, computer malfunctions led to $122 million in Treasury payments being delayed, technically amounting to temporary default and thus permanently increasing interest rates by 0.6%, resulting in $12 billion in additional annual debt payments, costing the government roughly $384 billion to date. We can only imagine the toll a default, even temporary, could take on today’s economy.

Though majority leadership in both the House and Senate was continually fluctuating, with divisions within and between Houses, between the legislative and executive branches, members of each party, no matter how they were divided or which group was in control, managed to increase the debt ceiling, while avoiding default, a grand total of 77 times to date.’

Minyanville's T3 Daily Recap: Market Rocked as Debt Fears Grow at Minyanville

Worst Day in Two Months Wipes Out Dow's July Gains at The Wall Street Journal

F-22 Pilots Found With Anti-Freeze, Propane in Bloodstream, Fleet Grounded at Minyanville ‘…According to the Air Force Times, blood tests of F-22 pilots showed a host of chemicals, including anti-freeze, propane and burned polyalphaolefin, a synthetic oil, after flights where they reported experiencing cognitive problems. These toxins, along with carbon monoxide, may be causing hypoxia, which is a lack of oxygen. Hypoxia can cause reduced brain function and memory loss. F-22 pilots reported being unable to remember how to change radio frequencies and scraping treetops when approaching the runway. In November 2010, an F-22 crashed in Alaska and the pilot, Capt. Jeffrey Haney, was killed. Sources told the Air Force Times that in his final radio calls he sounded drunk, a symptom of hypoxia… There is a lot of nasty stuff getting pumped into the pilots’ bloodstream through what they’re breathing from that OBOGS [On-Board Oxygen Generation System] …The source, who requested anonymity "for fear of retribution," continued: "These guys are getting tested for toxins and they’ve [gotten] toxins out of their bloodstreams. One of the guys was expelling propane."In the meantime, Air Force officials say that "some test pilots at the base are flying their jets under a special waiver granted to them to test an unrelated software upgrade."The operational fleet, however, remains grounded, the Air Force Times' Majumdar writes, "with pilots and ground crews practicing in simulators as much as they can."But, he explains that "is not a real solution because the pilots won’t be able to maintain currency."As another former F-22 pilot pointed out, “After 210 days, they’ve got to start retraining everybody."At $350 million per plane (and $44,000/hr to operate), you'd think this sort of thing would be covered under warranty.’

I truly empathize with the ATF in terms of government cover-ups, notably by even the DOJ.

Steven M. Martinez, Assistant Director In Charge
Federal Bureau of Investigation, USDOJ
11000 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 1700

Los Angeles, CA 90024

Dear Sir:

A judgment had been entered in my favor in the case, United States District Court Case #3:93cv02065(AWT)(USDCJ Alvin Thompson), worth approximately now in excess of $300,000 remains unaccounted for and which could be used for payment to creditors, Los Angeles, etc..
Counsel Robert Sullivan on my behalf documented by way of certification upon investigation that Alan Shiff, USBCJ, had falsely stated a dismissal upon which false statement he predicated a retaliatory and spurious contempt proceeding against me causing substantial damage, and for which he sought Judicial Notice of those and related proceedings as did I in some of my filings.
The Order of Dismissal With Prejudice by Alan Shiff, USBCJ, owing to Defendant Coan’s failure to file anything whatsoever by the court’s deadline causing creditors and me substantial damages: [ Shiff Order of Dismissal With Prejudice on Coan’s Failure to File Page 1 Page 2 ]
Defendant Coan had filed an action against me to prevent me from suing him which necessitated me to fly to Connecticut for a hearing before The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District of Connecticut, who denied Coan’s requested relief as to Coan but precluded my action against Shiff (although there is no immunity, judicial or otherwise, for criminal acts, ie., fraud connected with a case under Title 11, USC, etc.) . [ transcript in pertinent part - crossexamofcoanbypeia.pdf ]
Newly appointed judge, Maryanne Trump Barry, Donald Trump’s sister, was assigned the RICO case despite the conflict of interest in light of hundreds of thousands of dollars of illegal (drug) money being laundered through the Trump casinos by the RICO defendants, and despite my motion to recuse her which motion she heard herself and denied, and U.S. Trustee Hugh Leonard with whom I met personally refused to join or file a separate motion to recuse and not long thereafter left said office for private practice at Cole, Shotz, et als on retainer with the RICO defendants as his primary client.

Probative and evidentiary documents, affidavits, exhibits, including those turned over to FBI Agent Jeff Hayes in Long Beach, CA, had been given to Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan Lacey with whom I met personally at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Newark, N.J., at which time Samuel Alito was U.S. Attorney, and went over said documents and their probative value with him. Within approximately a month thereafter upon inquiry I was told that Jonathon Lacey was no longer with the office, that the file/documents could not be located, and that there was no further information available concerning contacting him or his location. I thereupon delivered by hand, copies of said documents to the office of then U.S. Attorney Alito, addressed to him, with assurance they would go directly to him. In addition to being inept [ I looked in on the one mob case he had brought, bungled, lost (accidently on purpose?) since I was suing some mob-connected under RICO and the court (I had known / previously met outside of court the judge Ackerman through a client) was absolute bedlam and a total joke since incompetent corrupt Alito brought in all 20 mob defendants (rather than prosecute one or a few to flip them first) who feigning illness had beds/cots in the courtroom along with their moans during testimony and had the jury in stitches. As much as I hate the mob, it truly was funny, if not so tragic.], Alito is also corrupt (and maybe corrupt because he is inept). After a reasonable (but still rather short) time I called to determine the status and was told that Alito was no longer with the Office of the U.S. Attorney, that he was (appointed) a federal judge, and that neither the documents nor any file or record of same could be located. Alito did parley the same / cover-up into quid pro quo direct lifetime appointment to the Court of Appeals, 3^rd circuit, despite the absence of judicial experience or successful tenure as U.S. Attorney (Maryanne Trump Barry as well). This is the same Sam Alito that now sits on the purported highest court in the land. The real application of the illegal rule ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’.

The US will not miss a coupon payment on its $14.3tn debt next Wednesday.A genuine default would be “Lehman on Steroids” in the words of Ex-Treasury secretary Larry Summers. Precisely for that reason President Obama will not pull the trigger, EVEN IF the debt ceiling talks break down in acrimony. Obama still has a clutch of cards to play, in extremis. [One example]…the US Treasury could eliminate the Fed’s entire holding of Treasury bonds at a stroke, gaining an extra two years. This would be a simple accounting transaction. Ben Bernanke might feel uncomfortable, and gold might blast to $3,000, but the Bernanke Fed has proved itself supple.’ Your Cheat Sheet to the History of the U.S. Debt Ceiling Wall St. Cheat Sheet July 26, 2011, ‘We can all thank President Richard Nixon for current debates over the national budget and the debt ceiling . In 1973, the debt ceiling was $465 billion, and debt was set to hit that level in the summer. In order to prevent the government from reaching its debt ceiling, Nixon took it upon himself to “impound” $3.4 billion in Congressionally appropriated funds. During that exertion of his executive power in a situation that should have been left to the legislative branch, he paved the way for the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 , which established the Congressional budget process we have today and created the Congressional Budget Office in order to limit the president’s power in the future.

So it is unsettling that policymakers in many Western economies today resemble the second group of pilots. This perception reflects not only the contradictory pronouncements and behavior of policymakers, but also the extent to which economic outcomes have consistently fallen short of their expectations.This perception is evident in Europe, the United States, and Japan, where indicators of economic sentiment are deteriorating again, already-weak recoveries are stalling, and over-stretched balance sheets are becoming even more precarious.’

US Equities Forecast and the Anticipated Path of the Market at Minyanville Peter Prudden July 25, 2011 The market continues to pull back on global macro problems, and conversely, trade higher on short-term debt solutions, robust Q2 earnings, and recent improving economic data.

In early May my thesis on the market was setting up for a significant market crash, based upon an unsustainable bid occurring in equities. The damage manifesting under the hood was indicative of such a crash comparable to 1987; one that would result in testing the March 2009 lows. Since that time, the market has undergone a consolidation process through time rather than a function of lower prices. I see two distinct developments that will shape our direction over the short, intermediate and long term.

US Equity Market Forecasts and Key Assumptions

The market continues to pull back on global macro problems, and conversely, trade higher on short-term debt solutions, robust Q2 earnings and recent improving economic data. Beneath the surface, fundamental deterioration continues, despite central bank/government efforts to stimulate economic activity. Share prices benefit from record profit margins and high M&A activity, yet real GDP, income, and employment growth continue to fade. A concerning development surfaced last week regarding consumer credit spending habits. Rising inflation costs on daily necessities are forcing middle and lower class Americans to their credit cards for survival. Elevated unemployment and poor housing numbers will continue to have a lack of improvement.

It is now evident that government intervention will continue and the likely ramifications won’t be felt until after the 2012 elections. With that said, the headline risk remains to the downside and the bogey to lower equity prices in the short to intermediate term is concentrated on the U.S. Debt ceiling. At some point, not only must all developed economies deal with marking down to the level of income, but we must restructure large amounts of excess leverage. Until we accomplish this, growth will be problematic.

Winston Churchill characterized the U.S. when he said, “You can always count on Americans to do the right thing after they’ve tried everything else.” S&P said Friday that, even if Congress raises the debt limit in time to avert a default, it might lower the U.S. sovereign rating to AA+ with a negative outlook if it isn’t accompanied by a “credible solution” on the debt level. This would be viewed anything less than $3 trillion and I’m looking for such a downgrade to come to fruition. S&P forecasts short-term interest rates would rise by 0.50 percentage points and long-term interest rates by 1 percentage point. The markets are clearly discounting eurozone debt restructuring and are not pricing in a domestic debt ceiling debacle. If the equity markets are to take issue with the inability to raise the debt ceiling, the bullish scenario will in fact become void. We will face continued pressure across equity markets until a resolution is offered. I expect to encounter a limit down futures market if the news of a failed debt ceiling passage comes out of market hours and a similar selling environment as to when TARP originally was vetoed, down 7.8 percent in one afternoon … http://image.minyanville.com/assets/FCK_Jan2011/Image/July11/ppr7251b.jpg … ’

Top 3 Reasons Markets Were Down After Obama and Boehner Showdown Wall St. Cheat Sheet July 26, 2011, ‘Markets closed down on Wall Street today: Dow -0.72% , S&P -0.40% , Nasdaq -0.10% , Oil +0.27% , Gold +0.49 %.

On the commodities front, Oil climbed to $99.47. Precious metals also gained, with Gold up to $1,622.30 an ounce and Silver climbing 1.50% to $40.97 an ounce.

Don’t Miss: Your Cheat Sheet to the History of the U.S. Debt Ceiling.

Today’s markets were down because:

1) Obama/Boehner . Last week they were working together and everyone was confident that a budget deal was on its way, but when House Speaker Boehner walked out on talks on Friday, that no longer looked to be the case. Then last night, Obama addressed the nation, re-affirming his intention to veto any deal that didn’t include both tax revenue and spending cuts. Following his address, Boehner spoke, criticizing Obama’s inability to compromise while himself refusing to compromise with the president. The Treasury’s deadline is now only 7 days away, and there isn’t even a complete bill currently before the House or Senate, and yet investors aren’t panicking. Markets are down, but not as much as would be expected if the economy was about to be dealt as huge a blow as would be a government default on the debt . Whether it’s because people don’t understand just what a default could mean for the economy, or because they are confident their lawmakers will come to a resolution in time, investors aren’t running scared. The current state of budget talks may be preventing markets from climbing excessively, but they don’t seem to be depressing them much either.

2) Earnings. Were it not for the weight of the debt ceiling, today’s markets may have been fared better. With 75% of S&P 500 companies beating earnings expectations in their latest quarters, this earnings season has been overwhelmingly positive, and points to increased spending that, if given the chance, could stimulate the economy into the recovery we’ve been waiting on. A lot of the the biggest earners during the latest quarter were tech companies, including Chinese Internet search company Baidu with second quarter earnings climbing 95% over a year earlier, and Apple reported net income twice that of the previous year.

3) New home sales. For the second month in a row, new home sales slipped in June, with the Census Bureau reporting an annual sales rate of 312,ooo new homes last month, down from 315,000 in May. That’s bad news for the housing market considering this time of year usually sees increasing sales. However, June sales were still up 1.6% over last year, so like most of our economic news of late, it’s effect on the markets hasn’t been wholly negative or positive. And Case-Shiller said housing prices actually rose month over month’ (but this is a seasonal thing which was not adjusted as such).

#6 In another area of Atlanta, thieves have been breaking down walls and busting bathroom fixtures with sledgehammers in order to get their hands on copper, brass and steel….

Kids in two Atlanta communities won’t have their neighborhood pools to help beat the summer heat, at least for now. Thieves used what is believed to be sledge hammers to bust walls and break fixtures in bathrooms at Adams and South Bend parks to steal copper, brass and steel.

The Worst Run State in America? Not California [California’s #2] Oct. 8 2010 ‘Kentucky is worst run state in the nation. The best financially managed state? Wyoming. And which state has the highest percentage of people living below the poverty line? Arkansas.

These are just some of the findings from 24/7 Wall Street’s comprehensive study of states’ financial management. The rankings were based on a number of metrics including unemployment rate, debt per capita, home price change between 2006 and 2009 and median household income.

The study also found that Delaware (home to many financial services companies) has the best credit rating in the country. California has the worst credit rating (no shocker there.) And Texas is home to the lowest percentage of high school graduates over age 25. Meanwhile, South Carolina and Nevada see the most violent crime than any other state in the country. (Unfortunately for those folks in Nevada the state has one of the highest percentages of people without health insurance.)

24/7 Wall Street comes to this conclusion about its rankings: “Well-run states have a great deal in common with well-run corporations. Books are kept balanced. Investment is prudent. Debt is sustainable. Innovation is prized. Workers are well-chosen and well-trained. Executives are picked based on merit and not ‘politics.’”

Check out the list for a few surprises like California coming in as a runner-up for the worst run state in the country. Thanks to Kentucky’s overall terrible performance, Governor Schwarzenegger can sleep well knowing someone else is doing a worse job.

Kentucky’s troubles include having one of the lowest GDP per capita, it ranks 47th in median household income, and it’s ranked 49th for having one of the highest percentages (18.6%) of people below the poverty line. I wonder what the Tea Party’s favorite Kentucky candidate Rand Paul would say about this.’

ATF Chief Melson:Justice Department trying to shield officials (LATimes) Serrano

I believe him!

I truly empathize with the ATF in terms of government cover-ups, notably by even the DOJ. You’ll recognize some familiar names (ie., Alito, Trump, Freeh (Louis Freeh now has dual citizenship with Italy), and some familiar crimes (ie., drug money laundering, etc. – real cash cow for gov’t ops, bribes, etc.). [Did you know this about the following ATF Agents who were probably viewed as loose ends: Steve Willis, Robert Williams, Todd McKeahan & Conway LeBleu: Died February 28, 1993 by gunfire at Waco. All four were examined by a pathologist and died from identical wounds to the left temple. All four had been body guards for Bill Clinton, three while campaigning for President and when he was Governor of Arkansas.They also were the ONLY 4 BATF agents killed at Waco. ]

Here’s some real, complicit cover-up / fraud on the part of the federal government, et als:

Steven M. Martinez, Assistant Director In Charge
Federal Bureau of Investigation, USDOJ
11000 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 1700

Los Angeles, CA 90024

Dear Sir:

A judgment had been entered in my favor in the case, United States District Court Case #3:93cv02065(AWT)(USDCJ Alvin Thompson), worth approximately now in excess of $300,000 remains unaccounted for and which could be used for payment to creditors, Los Angeles, etc..
Counsel Robert Sullivan on my behalf documented by way of certification upon investigation that Alan Shiff, USBCJ, had falsely stated a dismissal upon which false statement he predicated a retaliatory and spurious contempt proceeding against me causing substantial damage, and for which he sought Judicial Notice of those and related proceedings as did I in some of my filings.
The Order of Dismissal With Prejudice by Alan Shiff, USBCJ, owing to Defendant Coan’s failure to file anything whatsoever by the court’s deadline causing creditors and me substantial damages: [ Shiff Order of Dismissal With Prejudice on Coan’s Failure to File Page 1 Page 2 ]
Defendant Coan had filed an action against me to prevent me from suing him which necessitated me to fly to Connecticut for a hearing before The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District of Connecticut, who denied Coan’s requested relief as to Coan but precluded my action against Shiff (although there is no immunity, judicial or otherwise, for criminal acts, ie., fraud connected with a case under Title 11, USC, etc.) . [ transcript in pertinent part - crossexamofcoanbypeia.pdf ]
Newly appointed judge, Maryanne Trump Barry, Donald Trump’s sister, was assigned the RICO case despite the conflict of interest in light of hundreds of thousands of dollars of illegal (drug) money being laundered through the Trump casinos by the RICO defendants, and despite my motion to recuse her which motion she heard herself and denied, and U.S. Trustee Hugh Leonard with whom I met personally refused to join or file a separate motion to recuse and not long thereafter left said office for private practice at Cole, Shotz, et als on retainer with the RICO defendants as his primary client.

Probative and evidentiary documents, affidavits, exhibits, including those turned over to FBI Agent Jeff Hayes in Long Beach, CA, had been given to Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan Lacey with whom I met personally at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Newark, N.J., at which time Samuel Alito was U.S. Attorney, and went over said documents and their probative value with him. Within approximately a month thereafter upon inquiry I was told that Jonathon Lacey was no longer with the office, that the file/documents could not be located, and that there was no further information available concerning contacting him or his location. I thereupon delivered by hand, copies of said documents to the office of then U.S. Attorney Alito, addressed to him, with assurance they would go directly to him. In addition to being inept [ I looked in on the one mob case he had brought, bungled, lost (accidently on purpose?) since I was suing some mob-connected under RICO and the court (I had known / previously met outside of court the judge Ackerman through a client) was absolute bedlam and a total joke since incompetent corrupt Alito brought in all 20 mob defendants (rather than prosecute one or a few to flip them first) who feigning illness had beds/cots in the courtroom along with their moans during testimony and had the jury in stitches. As much as I hate the mob, it truly was funny, if not so tragic.], Alito is also corrupt (and maybe corrupt because he is inept). After a reasonable (but still rather short) time I called to determine the status and was told that Alito was no longer with the Office of the U.S. Attorney, that he was (appointed) a federal judge, and that neither the documents nor any file or record of same could be located. Alito did parley the same / cover-up into quid pro quo direct lifetime appointment to the Court of Appeals, 3^rd circuit, despite the absence of judicial experience or successful tenure as U.S. Attorney (Maryanne Trump Barry as well). This is the same Sam Alito that now sits on the purported highest court in the land. The real application of the illegal rule ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’.

Obama spars with Boehner as deadline looms The president said in a prime-time speech that, unless Congress agrees quickly to a long-term increase in the debt ceiling, “we would risk sparking a deep economic crisis.” In response, the House speaker said that “the solution to this crisis is not complicated,” but that he would not give the president a “blank check.” (Washington Post) [ Well, it’s that darn teleprompter.

I now see a similar confluence of events that warns of phase II of the global crisis.

When the current euphoric earnings forecasts of Wall Street finally reflect that via significant “earnings downgrades,” the stock market will see a serious “adjustment” as well.

On July 18, Goldman Sachs (GS) substantially lowered its economic growth forecast. Marketwatch.com had this headline: Goldman Sachs slashes Economic Forecasts. The next step will be for them to substantially reduce earnings forecasts for the S&P 500. Will the phase II be as bad as the 2008 crisis? The last crisis was confined to the private sector, i.e. financial institutions. The next one will be involve the threatened default of entire countries. The last time, the central banks bailed out the financial firms and even Warren Buffett bailed out several firms. Who is big enough to bail out entire countries? Or will the term of “too big to fail” turn to “too big to bail?”

The equity markets have been very volatile this year, but also range bound.

Open heart surgery (loans guaranteed by others) has averted the immediate crisis, but Greece is just as overweight today as it was before the crisis. Attempts to lose weight through exercise (austerity measures) cause serious chest pains (riots). The doctors don’t want to admit it, but all signs point to a heart transplant (default) as the only way to get Greece onto its feet again.Greece isn’t the only one. It is a veritable epidemic. Ireland, Italy, Portugal, Spain and a host of other countries are having chest pains. Iceland is feeling better now with its freshly transplanted heart. The American home owner is still in the hospital from his financial heart attack after gobbling up vast quantities of real estate, and it has been many decades since Uncle Sam last could see his toes. By most accounts (e.g. here or Bill Gross‘ statements in a recent interview) total hidden government liabilities add up to about $60-$100 trillion. That is on top of the $14 trillion of debt carried on the balance sheet. Adding up those liabilities, the US owes at least five times GDP, which currently sits at about $15 trillion.

El-Erian (Project Syndicate) — ‘I don’t know about you, but whenever I am in an airplane experiencing turbulence, I draw comfort from the belief that the pilots sitting behind the cockpit’s closed door know what to do. I would feel very differently if, through an open door, I observed pilots who were frustrated at the poor responsiveness of the plane’s controls, arguing about their next step, and getting no help whatsoever from the operator’s manuals. So it is unsettling that policymakers in many Western economies today resemble the second group of pilots. This perception reflects not only the contradictory pronouncements and behavior of policymakers, but also the extent to which economic outcomes have consistently fallen short of their expectations.This perception is evident in Europe, the United States, and Japan, where indicators of economic sentiment are deteriorating again, already-weak recoveries are stalling, and over-stretched balance sheets are becoming even more precarious.’

Top 3 Reasons Markets Were Down As Lawmakers Freeze Debt Talks

STOCKS FORGET TO CRASH AS US GETS ONE DAY CLOSER TO DOOM: Here's What You Need To Know Business Insider Joe Weisenthal, On Monday July 25, 2011 ‘The market may crash at some point before the debt ceiling fight is over. But, contra all the hype, today was not to be that day.

But first, the scoreboard:

Dow: -84.80
NASDAQ: -14.92
S&P 500: -7.05

And now, the top stories:

As noted above, today was really hyped up all weekend after John Boehner said that he hoped to have a plan by the time Japan opened up. It evoked weekends circa 2008, when it was a big deal to have some kind of new bailout before the Japan open.

Well, they never got a deal over the weekend, and Japan didn't seem to care. Neither did the US all that much, and in fact it was very quiet. Futures did initially fall over 1%, and gold did spike, but really, it was a pretty business-as-usual day in markets.

Perhaps the bigger story was actually in Europe, where all the old contagion trades are back. Italy was really surprisingly ugly again, as the Greece bailout agreed to last week has failed to create a firewall.

There was no big corporate news. Netflix earnings are after the ball, so that should get some interest.

On the debt ceiling front, Harry Reid came out with his plan that excludes tax hikes, but mainly finds savings via war. For the full rundown of what happened today debt-ceiling wise, see here.

25 Reasons To Absolutely Despise Bankers And Their Minions Video Rebel’s Blog | ‘There is no reason for a national debt. July 25, 2011

#1) Bankers, according to the London Times, launder about 400 billion dollars a year or more in illegal weapons sales. The next time you hear of an African war lord killing families so he can kidnap young boys to become child soldiers and young girls to become child sex slaves, please remember that this could not have happened without the active assistance and cooperation of the bankers and the politicians they own.

#2) Bankers told American businessmen that entering World War I would make the Great War last longer which would be good for the United States because it would bankrupt England, France and Germany. Calvin Coolidge on Veterans Day in 1928 said America had lost only 30,000 soldiers during the war but another 100,000 since the war ended. Those men had died of their wounds after the Armistice was signed. Everyone who died after 1915 in WW I died for bankers and Israel.

#3) Bankers have been laundering drug money at least since the Opium wars. Currently bankers launder a trillion dollars a year in drug money. That these illegal drugs are killing millions of people and destroying cities one family and one neighborhood at a time is of no concern to them.

#4) Gordon Duff of Veterans Today tells us that the Global Hawk which is a pilotless drone version of the U2 Spy plane is frequently used to carry 3,000 pound payloads of opium paste out of Baluchistan Pakistan. This lucrative opium trade is one reason why Afghanistan in America’s longest war. America has killed millions of innocent civilians for nothing. America will one day have to pay that debt.

#5) On 9-10-2001 Donald Rumsfeld told us that he could not trace 2.3 trillion dollars in Pentagon spending. On 9-11-2001 four planes were electronically hijacked which together with pre-planted explosives killed 3,000 Americans that day and many more since in needless wars. 189 people died at the Pentagon. Most of these were auditors trying to find the missing trillions the bankers and their friends stole. American taxpayers are treated as indentured servants by the bankers. We are not allowed to audit the books and demand the return of the stolen money. Trillions more have gone missing since Rumsfeld promised on 911 to do a better job tracking down that money.

#6) On March 22nd 2000 Susan Gaffney, the Housing and Urban Development Inspector General, testified before the House Governmental Affairs Committee detailing the 59.6 billion dollars that went missing from HUD during the previous two years. When asked if she did anything to recover the missing money she said No. If we were equal to a banker, we would have demanded audits. Years earlier Catherine Austin Fitts was at HUD under Bush I. She found one block in San Diego that had 20 million dollars in HUD guaranteed loans for buildings that never ever existed. All of these loans defaulted and were paid for by taxpayers who do not have the right to audit the books.

#7) Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert are both American financial experts who now report on gross banking fraud from their base in Paris. They have made several trips to Dubai and have told us what multiple bankers told them. American contractors returning home from Iraq and Afghanistan have deposited suitcases full of money in Dubai banks. If we did not have a government owned and operated by the bankers, would any of this be possible?

#8 ) Bankers financed the Soviet Revolution which allowed their Communist minions to kill over 60,000,000 real human beings. They deliberately starved 10,000,000 to death in the Ukraine.

#9) The UN estimates that worldwide the slave trade traffics 250,000 mostly women and children a year. Many young children are killed for snuff films by Russian Jewish mobs. None of this could happen without the active participation and cooperation of bankers and the governments they own in the United States, England, Israel, Belgium, France, Portugal and elsewhere around the globe.

#10) Several years ago documents revealed that the African slave trade was financed through front men like Aaron Lopez . The African slave trade resulted in the deaths of millions of human beings en route to North and South America. No estimate has been made of the numbers killed by the wars over 3 and one half centuries engendered by the desire to capture their fellow Africans to be sold to the bankers and their minions. The slave trade would not have been possible without the active participation and cooperation of the bankers and their governments. Did I neglect to mention the other end of the African slave trade? Every school book cites the trade of rum made in Newport Rhode Island by the 21 Jewish distillers for the slaves of Africa. What they do leave out is the fact that those distillers also sold rum to Indians who routinely massacred white settlers while in drunken rages. Then the settlers would take revenge so all sides except for the distillers and the bankers lost in this trade.

#11) Asia Times told us that the big international banks launder 500 billion dollars a year in bribes for politicians. This does not include campaign contributions and cash payments. Remember the congressman in 2008 who said he had two types of calls from his constituents about the proposed Banker Bailout. He said some said No and the rest said Hell No. Yet the Bailout was passed by both Houses and approved by both Presidential candidates. Now you know why the Congress, the news media and the President do not listen to you and do not care what happens to you and your friends and your family.

#12) Bernie Sanders revealed the Federal Reserve Bank created 16 trillion dollars in loans over the past couple of years. Many of these loans went overseas. But many of these sweetheart loans made at negative real interest rates (i.e. below the rate of inflation) were made to news organizations like NBC-MSNBC-Comcast. This company is owned by a defense contractor and two Zionist business partners. MSNBC, which is supposedly the most liberal news source in America, has been firing and disciplining liberal anti-war newscasters and hosts. This would be surprising to the casual observer if he or she was not aware of the loans made by the privately owned Federal Reserve bank.

#13) Back to that 16 trillion dollar money bomb dropped on the people of the world by the Federal Reserve. Bankers were bundling up home mortgages into bonds and used MERS (Mortgage Electronic Registration System) to register their deeds. The bankers allowed their minions to sell one home mortgage into five different bonds in effect selling five different people a legal claim to your house. These bonds were worthless. The ratings agencies Standard and Poor, Fitch and Moodys gave these bonds triple A ratings in exchange for hefty fees. The banks did not do due diligence before selling them to banks overseas. They knew the loans were bad because they bought insurance (Credit Default Swaps) to cash in on the inevitable losses. More than 6 trillion dollars was paid by the FED to overseas banks. Why? Because they wanted to keep New York bankers out of jail. You see those bonds had to go into default and the bankers knew that. A bondholder whose underlying mortgage went bad would not ask for the return of his money. But if the mortgages were good, five different companies would come to collect from one homeowner and the courts might actually have to send bankers to jail. All the inflation you will see over the next few years will be due to the active participation of the Federal Reserve in financial fraud. Obviously those bankers in New York owe Zero Mostel and the writers of the movie script for the Producers a sizable bonus.

#14) Do you remember the Presidential election of 2000? I knew Bush would become President years before. But I remember telling my friends that it was obvious to me that the Federal Reserve Board was spiking the election in Bush’s favor so we could go to war. My reasoning was thus: the FED was raising interest rates and tightening credit so the stock market would go down before election day. If the market declines in an election year, the incumbents lose seats in both Houses of Congress and a couple million votes in the Presidential race. Alan Greenspan made George W Bush President of the United States allowing Bush to invade Iraq and Afghanistan for Israel. Can I prove Greenspan knew in advance 911 would happen? One of the Rockefellers told Aaron Russo 911 was coming years in advance. What Greenspan knew about 911 and when he knew it, we will not know until we have war crimes trials.

#15) Let’s revisit the North American Free Trade Act (NAFTA) of 1994. Since that date, America has lost 50,000 manufacturing plants. America has a little over 3,000 counties with an average population of 100,000. If you divide 4,000 into 50,000, you get an average loss of 13 to 14 manufacturing plants closing and going overseas per county. This has destroyed local tax bases, government revenues and jobs resulting in millions of unemployed and millions of foreclosed homes. Instead of testifying before the Congress and telling the nation what would happen Greenspan covered it up by printing lots of money. There was no price inflation, because traditionally a manufacturing based economy has to bid workers and raw materials away from competitors. Not so since NAFTA. We had no manufacturing base left to create price inflation. All the monetary inflation went into the stock market. Greenspan crashed the stock markets to end the dot com bubble and elect the warmonger Bush. After the dot com bubble went pop, Greenspan ignited the Housing Bubble. Why do we have a Bubble economy? The Bankers and their minions sent all the jobs overseas so the only way to make money in America today is through the Subsidized Bubble Machine known as the Federal Reserve and the Federal government. Citizens are required to buy insurance under penalty of law. But the insurance companies who wrote the Obamacare bill are not required to treat you when you get sick. This is a subsidized medical system which when the Bubble pops will send wages down, down down for nurses, doctors, pharmacists, EMTs and others in the health care field. Local schools and police were in the subsidized Bubble economy but the implosion of the tax base is forcing layoffs in many cities and states. Providence Rhode Island gave pink slips to every teacher. Ashtabula county Ohio (population 102,000) laid off all of the Sheriff deputies save those working in foreclosures for the courts. This means they have one deputy per shift for the entire county. A local judge told the residents to buy a gun. We have reached the point where the only Bubbles left are war and other subsidized government endeavors. The next sucking sound you hear will be civil service and healthcare jobs evaporating. This will send the unemployment rate above 30% from its current 22%. By definition and by law, Bubbles cannot give the illusion of productive employment and real wealth without the participation and cooperation of the bankers and the politicians they own.

#16) President John Fitzgerald Kennedy was killed on November 22nd 1963. He had issued Executive Order 11110 on June 4, 1963 which returned the power of the Sovereign to issue currency to the Treasury from the FED. JFK was killed and that Executive Order was never rescinded but his US Treasury Notes which were non-interest bearing were recalled. I keep making the point on public and in print everyone else fears to whisper in secret that Kennedy was murdered on the anniversary of the day the bankers first met in 1910 to draft the legislation their hired politicians would pass on December 23rd, 1913 during Christmas break. My point is that the bankers were giving us a message by killing JFK on the anniversary of their secret meeting. We are peasants and they were born to rule over us. They have the right to kill your President and you do not have the right to try them for their crimes.

#17) Martin Luther King was killed on April 4th, 1968. He was killed on the first anniversary of his famous anti-war speech at Riverside church in New York City. King planned to have a Summer of Ant- War protest in Washington D.C. He was going to use passive resistance and civil disobedience to stop the Vietnam War. The Bankers, the Zionists and the Imperialists could not allow King to win so they killed him. The message to the American people was that you are peasants, we are the feudal lords and you cannot refuse to die in our wars. You do not have the right to say No. Robert Fitzgerald Kennedy and his nephew JFK Jr. were also killed by the same people though for different reasons.

#18) Dr Alan Sabrosky is a former Director of Studies at the US Army War College. Dr Steve Pieczenik was deputy Secretary of State for three Presidents. They are both of Jewish descent. They both say 911 was an inside job and that Israel did it with the help of traitors inside the US government. Sabrosky has been telling his former colleagues at the Army War College that Israel did 911. Do you for one minute believe that Israel could have done 911 and gotten away with it without the active participation and cooperation of Jewish Americans on Wall Street and in the government and news media?

#19) When you go into a bank for a $10,000 loan, the bank is not lending you Mrs Jonses’ life savings. What the bank is doing is creating a $10,000 deposit in your checking account. There a few points of interest in this transaction. The banker only created enough money for you to pay the principal and not the interest on the loan. The interest on the debt can only be paid if the banker loans more money out and increases the total money supply so there is money to make the payments. This is called monetary inflation and usually leads to price inflation. Another point of interest is that the banker gets all of the benefit of making the loan and you, even if you are not part of this transaction, pay for it. How so, you ask? Because your purchasing power was diminished every time the banker made a loan. Years ago I remember reading a study of the loss of savings due to banker induced inflation. It was twice as great as the value of all Social Security payments received by the elderly. Bot a good deal for anyone involved except bankers who now want to cancel Social Security benefits but not the taxes you pay in so we can afford to continue to pay the Banker Bailouts.

#20) The federal government under Presidents Kennedy and Lincoln issued non-interest bearing currencies. They saw no reason why the Treasury should not just issue a currency. They did not want to allow the bankers to create money (i.e. Federal Reserve Notes) they would trade for Treasury bonds which would require the taxpayers to pay interest on ever increasing national debts. Eventually, we would create what I have called a Debt Bomb of Unpayable Debts. The burden of those interest payments becomes unbearable and we all go in to bankruptcy at which point the bankers buy everything from us for pennies on the dollar in foreclosure sales with money they stole from us. Then we and our descendants are permanently reduced to the status of a landless serf. There is no reason for a national debt other than to transfer wealth from us to the bankers.

#21) Since there is no reason for a national debt, there is no reason for Austerity Cuts so wages and benefits to be matched by taxes on the working and middle classes. The only reason for the European banks to bailout Greece is so that the banks can keep the Ponzi scheme going long enough to trade their Greek debts for euro bonds which they can sell and use to buy gold, silver and oil. All of our sacrifices are for nothing and only increase their ill gotten gain.

#22) Harry Markopolos took in more than 300 pages of documented evidence to the SEC to prove to them that Bernie Madoff was stealing tens of billions of dollars from his mostly Jewish clients. The case was not hard to prove. Catherine Austin Fitts said the SEC had to do was to match Madoff’s bank transactions up with his brokerage accounts. So if he was moving lots of money around in his bank accounts but not buying stocks, then he was an obvious fraud who needed to be arrested in time for the Evening News. This is not the end of the story. Markopolos told us that a much greater fraud was waiting in the wings called Credit Default Swaps (CDS) which he valued at a potential loss of 600 trillion dollars. This is ten times the total output of the world’s goods and services. Yet to date neither the House nor the Senate nor the Obama nor Bush Departments of Justice and SEC have seen fit to ask Mr Markopolos to come and give evidence. Why? Because all politicians are frightened little cowards.

#23) CDS were invented by a Jewish girl from England named Blythe Masters. She is the VP for Global Commodities at JP Morgan. Her boss is Jamie Dimon who is also Jewish. In 1999 Brooksley Born was Chairwoman of the CFTC and attempted to regulate CDS which are a hybrid between insurance and a derivative which is a bet on the future value of a bond or a commodity. Four Jewish men (Robert Rubin, Larry Summers, Alan Greenspan and Arthur Levitt) told her that she was not allowed to regulate CDS. That would spoil their fun. If you remember, I previously mentioned that the purchase of a CDS enabled the banks to sell bonds they knew to be worthless. It is illegal to do this. The purchase of a CDS gave the ratings agencies cover to give AAA ratings to zero value, fraudulently induced, no recourse bonds. Now remember the bailout of AIG. The banks knew AIG could not cover the losses they knowingly passed on when they bought CDS, because they both created the moral hazard of less than junk grade bonds and insured against it. They then went to their kept whores in the Congress and had them pass legislation that Bush, Obama and McCain approved of to cover AIG’s losses. It must be so much fun to be a banker, to steal a nation’s wealth, to start wars, to kill millions of people around the world and to make up assassination lists of honest politicians.

#24) Jim Willie has a PhD in Statistics. He is so despised by the bankers that he, Bob Chapman and a few others can no longer safely live in the United States. He told Max Keiser that in the 1990s the US Treasury Department sold 2.2 trillion dollars more in Treasury bonds than were needed to fund the federal deficit. Remember that this was a deficit already swollen by missing trillions from HUD, Defense and other agencies. Did I tell you that Indira Singh who worked as a high level computer consultant for the Big Three New York banks until 911 said the bankers were even stealing from Social Security. They would enter say a million non-existent recipients into the computers, give them monthly checks. Those frauds were not part of the 2.2 trillion the bankers put directly into their pockets from the sale of bonds. Nor does it count those gold bars at Fort Knox which were sold and replaced with gold plated tungsten. Nor does it include the gold bars the bankers leased from the government and sols as if the gold were theirs.

#25) Do you remember the newscasters during the recent Egyptian uprising saying that they lived on two dollars day in Egypt? The reason for their poverty was that the bankers used the IMF and World Bank to stop the Egyptians from developing agriculture so they could raise their standard of living and they could say No to bankers. The banks have forced Africans to accept Genetically Modified Organisms knowing that they emit pesticides into your blood and also increase your risk of cancer and sterility. They also force poor nations like Bolivia to privatize their water resources. When the bankers did this in Africa, people died of cholera. The bankers grind every last dollar out of the poor before they kill them. They are taking all those trillions of dollars from the Bailouts and buying commodities and sending the price of food and energy higher. In fact prices in a year will be so high that people who used to have jobs will no longer have enough to pay their bills and buy food. Those already poor will simply just fie from starvation, or in riots and revolutions. Maybe the bankers will be kind to the poor and release a plague that will kill a billion or two billion people.

Finally, I must tell you why I despise bankers. It might be one of the reasons why all decent and intelligent people everywhere should hate them. They serve no useful purpose. They have no redeeming qualities. They steal our money. They lie to us. They impoverish nations They ridicule our traditions and our way of life. They casually destroy countries. They destroyed my country America. America was on the road to ruin before I was born. The bankers are not real human beings. No real man or woman would look for honest, intelligent men and women who are well respected and then run to a phone to have them put on a Death List. When the dollar collapses, the bankers will go down their lists of honest and intelligent and courageous men and women killing them until we say No More.

Have I convinced you that bankers are pond scum? As the gladiators used to say in the Roman Coliseum, we are who about to die salute you. Get your affairs in order. If there is anything you wanted to do, do it now. My earlier prediction that Benyamin Netanyahu’s plan to launch World War III in September by attacking Iran in order to prevent a UN vote on Palestinian statehood might be wrong. But my intuition still says No war now. Of course I am sticking by my earlier prediction that silver will skyrocket in price soon. I was writing a series of articles entitled Go Beyond Left and Right to an Anti-Banker Party. I was diverted though this essay should have been entitled Part III. I have decided to call the next entry Part IV.’

Watch Out: 2011 Looks A Lot Like The Market Top In 2007 at Forbes Sean Hanlon Back on December 12, 2007 I wrote a market commentary that started as follows:

The equity markets have been very volatile this year, but also range bound. A picture speaks a thousand words so all one needs to do is view the chart below of the S&P 500 Index to understand just how volatile and range bound things have been. Specifically, since February 20, 2007, only nine and one half months or so ago, the S&P 500 Index has been down 5.86%, up 13.02%, down 9.43%, up 11.26%, down 10.09%,
and now up 7.73% – through 12/10/07 – so far in this
latest up leg! All this in ONLY nine and one half months!

Open heart surgery (loans guaranteed by others) has averted the immediate crisis, but Greece is just as overweight today as it was before the crisis. Attempts to lose weight through exercise (austerity measures) cause serious chest pains (riots). The doctors don’t want to admit it, but all signs point to a heart transplant (default) as the only way to get Greece onto its feet again.Greece isn’t the only one. It is a veritable epidemic. Ireland, Italy, Portugal, Spain and a host of other countries are having chest pains. Iceland is feeling better now with its freshly transplanted heart. The American home owner is still in the hospital from his financial heart attack after gobbling up vast quantities of real estate, and it has been many decades since Uncle Sam last could see his toes. By most accounts (e.g. here or Bill Gross‘ statements in a recent interview) total hidden government liabilities add up to about $60-$100 trillion. That is on top of the $14 trillion of debt carried on the balance sheet. Adding up those liabilities, the US owes at least five times GDP, which currently sits at about $15 trillion. For comparison, Greece’s debt is about 1.5 times its GDP…’

Dear Sir:

A judgment had been entered in my favor in the case, United States District Court Case #3:93cv02065(AWT)(USDCJ Alvin Thompson), worth approximately now in excess of $300,000 remains unaccounted for and which could be used for payment to creditors, Los Angeles, etc..
Counsel Robert Sullivan on my behalf documented by way of certification upon investigation that Alan Shiff, USBCJ, had falsely stated a dismissal upon which false statement he predicated a retaliatory and spurious contempt proceeding against me causing substantial damage, and for which he sought Judicial Notice of those and related proceedings as did I in some of my filings.
The Order of Dismissal With Prejudice by Alan Shiff, USBCJ, owing to Defendant Coan’s failure to file anything whatsoever by the court’s deadline causing creditors and me substantial damages: [ Shiff Order of Dismissal With Prejudice on Coan’s Failure to File Page 1 Page 2 ]
Defendant Coan had filed an action against me to prevent me from suing him which necessitated me to fly to Connecticut for a hearing before The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District of Connecticut, who denied Coan’s requested relief as to Coan but precluded my action against Shiff (although there is no immunity, judicial or otherwise, for criminal acts, ie., fraud connected with a case under Title 11, USC, etc.) . [ transcript in pertinent part - crossexamofcoanbypeia.pdf ]
Newly appointed judge, Maryanne Trump Barry, Donald Trump’s sister, was assigned the RICO case despite the conflict of interest in light of hundreds of thousands of dollars of illegal (drug) money being laundered through the Trump casinos by the RICO defendants, and despite my motion to recuse her which motion she heard herself and denied, and U.S. Trustee Hugh Leonard with whom I met personally refused to join or file a separate motion to recuse and not long thereafter left said office for private practice at Cole, Shotz, et als on retainer with the RICO defendants as his primary client.

Probative and evidentiary documents, affidavits, exhibits, including those turned over to FBI Agent Jeff Hayes in Long Beach, CA, had been given to Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan Lacey with whom I met personally at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Newark, N.J., at which time Samuel Alito was U.S. Attorney, and went over said documents and their probative value with him. Within approximately a month thereafter upon inquiry I was told that Jonathon Lacey was no longer with the office, that the file/documents could not be located, and that there was no further information available concerning contacting him or his location. I thereupon delivered by hand, copies of said documents to the office of then U.S. Attorney Alito, addressed to him, with assurance they would go directly to him. In addition to being inept [ I looked in on the one mob case he had brought, bungled, lost (accidently on purpose?) since I was suing some mob-connected under RICO and the court (I had known / previously met outside of court the judge Ackerman through a client) was absolute bedlam and a total joke since incompetent corrupt Alito brought in all 20 mob defendants (rather than prosecute one or a few to flip them first) who feigning illness had beds/cots in the courtroom along with their moans during testimony and had the jury in stitches. As much as I hate the mob, it truly was funny, if not so tragic.], Alito is also corrupt (and maybe corrupt because he is inept). After a reasonable (but still rather short) time I called to determine the status and was told that Alito was no longer with the Office of the U.S. Attorney, that he was (appointed) a federal judge, and that neither the documents nor any file or record of same could be located. Alito did parley the same / cover-up into quid pro quo direct lifetime appointment to the Court of Appeals, 3^rd circuit, despite the absence of judicial experience or successful tenure as U.S. Attorney (Maryanne Trump Barry as well). This is the same Sam Alito that now sits on the purported highest court in the land. The real application of the illegal rule ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’.

Top 3 Reasons Markets Were As Mixed Up as U.S. Budget Negotitions Wall St. Cheat Sheet July 22, 2011, Markets closed mixed on Wall Street today: Dow -0.35% , S&P +0.09% , Nasdaq +0.86% , Oil +0.54% , Gold +0.95 %.

On the commodities front, Oil climbed to $99.67. Precious metals also gained, with Gold up to $1,602.10 an ounce while Silver rose 3.06% to $40.14 an ounce…

Today’s markets were mixed because:

1) No budget deal . Democrats and Republicans, the House and the Senate, tax hikes vs. spending cuts…the debate continues as we head into another weekend with no debt deal. Yesterday the New York Times reported that we were close, but the White House quickly denied it. There are three main proposals in Congress: the Senate’s “Gang of Six” plan, which contains both large spending cuts and significant changes to the tax code; the Obama-Boehner plan, a bit more conservative but still not being embraced by the right; and the House’s “Cut, Cap and Balance” act that’s already been rejected by the Senate today, the majority being angered by the plan’s complete disregard of any tax reform whatsoever. It’s a game of chicken: Republicans aren’t ceding any ground, expecting the Democrats to flinch first as they barrel toward the August 2 deadline to raise the debt ceiling.

2) Greek bailout plan. Yesterday, European leaders held yet another summit to discuss plans for Greece’s bailout. But this time they came up with a plan of action. While the plan would allow for Greece to technically go into default, it seemed the best option for preventing the spread of Greece’s debt problems and for helping the Greece’s economy to recover. At issue for some time now has been the level of private sector involvement in the bailout. It was ultimately decided that as much as 50 billion euros would be raised by private sector buyers of Greek bonds. The Greece news boosted global markets and the euro, but wasn’t enough to keep American markets up as we continue to face our own debt crisis.

3) Tech sector. The tech-heavy Nasdaq was the only major index to show significant gains today, with chip makers Sandisk (SDSK) and Advanced Micro Devices leading the semiconductor sector after reporting better-than-expected second-quarter earnings and raising their full-year revenue forecasts. Sandisk closed up 9.62% and AMD closed up 19.23%. Other tech firms rode the wave, including Micron , Microchip Technology , and Seagate , all gaining over 3%…’

DOW FALLS, NASDAQ UP AMID THREAT OF IMPENDING DOOM: Here's What You Need To Know Business Insider Joe Weisenthal, July 22, 2011, A totally unbelievable end of the week filled with euphoria, tragedy, and a sense of impending doom.

But first, the scoreboard:

Dow: -46.47
NASDAQ: +23.42
S&P 500: +0.80

And now, the top stories:

We'll break it down by themes. Obviously the day started with yesterday's huge European bailout announcement. You can read all about it here, but the establishment of a more fiscally cohesive an flexible European bailout mechanism was initially treated with huge euphoria. However by the end of the European day that faded quite a bit.

In the US, the clock on the debt ceiling fight is rapidly ticking down, and there's no progress. The number of suggestions is multiplying at the time they need to be narrowing. Congressmen on both sides of the aisle are angry about their leaders selling them out, and yet there's nothing anyone has agreed upon. The bottom line: This is real. They might not get a deal done, potentially triggering a catastrophe.

The day also saw incredible tragedy in Norway. First a bomb struck a government area in Norway, and then a couple of hours later, a gunman attacked a youth camp on an island owned by the ruling labor party, killing 9 or 10. The details and motivations remain quite scarce, but it's a national tragedy -- one of the worst days in Norwegian history without a doubt.

There was some corporate news, most of it pretty underwhelming. GE reported fine earnings. Caterpillar reported mediocre earnings, and warned about growth in China. That helped drag down the Dow.

Bottom line: The market is still figuring that things will come together on the debt ceiling front next week and that it won't all go blamo. It's perhaps a dicey proposition ahead of a weekend where many people are leaving Washington.

Wall Street Likes Obama 11.8 Million Times More Than Previously Believed at Minyanville ‘Considering Wall Street's well-documented distaste for President Obama's economic policies, it might be logical to assume the lion's share of the donations to his re-election campaign recently have come from elsewhere.

Instead, a new analysis by the Center for Responsive Politics has found that "individuals who work in the finance, insurance and real estate sector are responsible for raising at least $11.8 million for Obama's campaign and the Democratic National Committee," or about one-third of the $34.95 million his "elite fund-raising corps" brought in during the second quarter of this year.

The Center's Michael Beckel writes:

The Center has identified 80 bundlers -- out of 244 whose names were released by the Obama campaign last week -- who are part of the financial sector. Forty-four specifically work for the securities and investment industry.

Nine of these 80 bundlers have already raised more than $500,000 -- the top dollar range given by the Obama campaign. Four of them -- former Goldman Sachs CEO Jon Corzine, Evercore Partners executive Charles Myers, Greenstreet Real Estate Partners CEO Steven Green and Azita Raji, a former investment banker for JPMorgan -- did not bundle money for Obama's 2008 campaign.

The other five finance-related top-tier Obama bundlers, who are bundling for him again this campaign, are:

· Mark and Nancy Gilbert, of Barclays, who worked together to raise money as a couple

· Blair Effron, of Centerview Partners

· Kirk Rudy, of Endeavor Real Estate

· Orin Kramer, of Boston Provident

· John Emerson, of Capital Group Companies

Dilling down a bit further, the data, released earlier today, shows the "Securities & Investment" industry having raised $7.2 million in Q2, $1.1 million more than the next highest group, "Lawyers/Law Firms" with $6.1 million.

Rounding out the top five: Business Services, $3.9 million, Real Estate, $2.3 million, and Misc. Finance, $1.75 million…’

I would feel very differently if, through an open door, I observed pilots who were frustrated at the poor responsiveness of the plane’s controls, arguing about their next step, and getting no help whatsoever from the operator’s manuals. So it is unsettling that policymakers in many Western economies today resemble the second group of pilots. This perception reflects not only the contradictory pronouncements and behavior of policymakers, but also the extent to which economic outcomes have consistently fallen short of their expectations.This perception is evident in Europe, the United States, and Japan, where indicators of economic sentiment are deteriorating again, already-weak recoveries are stalling, and over-stretched balance sheets are becoming even more precarious.’ Deficits And Stimulus Only Delay The Inevitable Collapse Bob Chapman | America is insolvent and has been so for a long time.

As part of such a package, short-term Greek debt will be more or less forcibly converted into long-term debt. The wretched bank tax is mercifully off the table. And the European financial stability facility will most likely be allowed to purchase Greek debt at a discount. LET US NOT MINCE WORDS HERE. THIS WOULD BE A DEFAULT, THE FIRST BY A WESTERN INDUSTRIALISED COUNTRY IN A GENERATION. I am not quite sure how it is possible for the European Central Bank to agree to this, or to all of this. But I will surely be intrigued to hear how Jean-Claude Trichet will manage to be consistent with what he said a few days ago. There are also reports that the eurozone leaders may accept a more flexible EFSF beyond those bond purchases.’

Dear Congresswoman Roybal-Allard:

ATF Chief Melson:Justice Department trying to shield officials (LAT) Serrano

I believe him!

I truly empathize with the ATF in terms of government cover-ups, notably by even the DOJ. You’ll recognize some familiar names (ie., Alito, Trump, Freeh (Louis Freeh now has dual citizenship with Italy), and some familiar crimes (ie., drug money laundering, etc. – real cash cow for gov’t ops, bribes, etc.). [Did you know this about the following ATF Agents who were probably viewed as loose ends: Steve Willis, Robert Williams, Todd McKeahan & Conway LeBleu: Died February 28, 1993 by gunfire at Waco. All four were examined by a pathologist and died from identical wounds to the left temple. All four had been body guards for Bill Clinton, three while campaigning for President and when he was Governor of Arkansas.They also were the ONLY 4 BATF agents killed at Waco. ]

Here’s some real, complicit cover-up / fraud on the part of the federal government, et als:

October 15, 2010 (*see infra {ultimately delivered by UPS})

Steven M. Martinez, Assistant Director In Charge
Federal Bureau of Investigation, USDOJ
11000 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 1700

Los Angeles, CA 90024

Dear Sir:

A judgment had been entered in my favor in the case, United States District Court Case #3:93cv02065(AWT)(USDCJ Alvin Thompson), worth approximately now in excess of $300,000 remains unaccounted for and which could be used for payment to creditors, Los Angeles, etc..
Counsel Robert Sullivan on my behalf documented by way of certification upon investigation that Alan Shiff, USBCJ, had falsely stated a dismissal upon which false statement he predicated a retaliatory and spurious contempt proceeding against me causing substantial damage, and for which he sought Judicial Notice of those and related proceedings as did I in some of my filings.
The Order of Dismissal With Prejudice by Alan Shiff, USBCJ, owing to Defendant Coan’s failure to file anything whatsoever by the court’s deadline causing creditors and me substantial damages: [ Shiff Order of Dismissal With Prejudice on Coan’s Failure to File Page 1 Page 2 ]
Defendant Coan had filed an action against me to prevent me from suing him which necessitated me to fly to Connecticut for a hearing before The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District of Connecticut, who denied Coan’s requested relief as to Coan but precluded my action against Shiff (although there is no immunity, judicial or otherwise, for criminal acts, ie., fraud connected with a case under Title 11, USC, etc.) . [ transcript in pertinent part - http://www.albertpeia.com/crossexamofcoanbypeia.pdf ]
Newly appointed judge, Maryanne Trump Barry, Donald Trump’s sister, was assigned the RICO case despite the conflict of interest in light of hundreds of thousands of dollars of illegal (drug) money being laundered through the Trump casinos by the RICO defendants, and despite my motion to recuse her which motion she heard herself and denied, and U.S. Trustee Hugh Leonard with whom I met personally refused to join or file a separate motion to recuse and not long thereafter left said office for private practice at Cole, Shotz, et als on retainer with the RICO defendants as his primary client.

Probative and evidentiary documents, affidavits, exhibits, including those turned over to FBI Agent Jeff Hayes in Long Beach, CA, had been given to Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan Lacey with whom I met personally at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Newark, N.J., at which time Samuel Alito was U.S. Attorney, and went over said documents and their probative value with him. Within approximately a month thereafter upon inquiry I was told that Jonathon Lacey was no longer with the office, that the file/documents could not be located, and that there was no further information available concerning contacting him or his location. I thereupon delivered by hand, copies of said documents to the office of then U.S. Attorney Alito, addressed to him, with assurance they would go directly to him. In addition to being inept [ I looked in on the one mob case he had brought, bungled, lost (accidently on purpose?) since I was suing some mob-connected under RICO and the court (I had known / previously met outside of court the judge Ackerman through a client) was absolute bedlam and a total joke since incompetent corrupt Alito brought in all 20 mob defendants (rather than prosecute one or a few to flip them first) who feigning illness had beds/cots in the courtroom along with their moans during testimony and had the jury in stitches. As much as I hate the mob, it truly was funny, if not so tragic.], Alito is also corrupt (and maybe corrupt because he is inept). After a reasonable (but still rather short) time I called to determine the status and was told that Alito was no longer with the Office of the U.S. Attorney, that he was (appointed) a federal judge, and that neither the documents nor any file or record of same could be located. Alito did parley the same / cover-up into quid pro quo direct lifetime appointment to the Court of Appeals, 3^rd circuit, despite the absence of judicial experience or successful tenure as U.S. Attorney (Maryanne Trump Barry as well). This is the same Sam Alito that now sits on the purported highest court in the land. The real application of the illegal rule ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’.

Sincerely,

Albert L. Peia
